There is not much time left for Xiao Letian to think, he must make the right judgment within 25 minutes, and then his soldiers must also be able to coordinate and resolutely carry out the Führer's orders in the shortest possible time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info ̄)] sんц閣浼镄嗹載尛裞閲渎棢つww%w%w.%ā

It's only 25 minutes, and to be honest, it's not so easy to even make a decision in such a short time, not to mention the execution of the order, and what is even more worrying is that the French spies will really fire according to the original schedule? What if it is advanced!

The map was laid out on the shell box, Xiao Letian pressed his hands on the box, his head was about to stick to the map, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

Pressure, huge pressure makes his waist can't straighten up, and this is the critical moment to test a leader.

Everyone in the world thinks that the emperor is good, and all officials must be prime ministers, but who can realize the truth that with great power comes great responsibility? When you see tens of thousands of people calling for wind and rain? You can see that all the delicious and beautiful women in the world can enjoy it? You can see everyone slapping around the horses? You can see the gorgeous utensils of the palace?

Indeed, people in the world like Xiao Letian enjoy great blessings, but the pressure on these people is also unimaginable.

Just like now, no one dares to speak at the critical moment of life and death, and even if someone has thoughts in his stomach, he does not dare to say it! Why? Because the choice made at this moment completely determines the fate of the future national strategy of the Chinese nation.

Forward? Then we have to keep an eye on the French artillery forward, and it is even possible to fight with the French Mediterranean Fleet, and if there is really a hot war, will Britain enter the war?

This question is difficult to answer, don't look at what Britain says beautifully, but the army protects you with deterrence, but it is not the same as directly engaging in a full-scale war with France!

Once the French Iron Core was to sink the Zhiyuan, the chances of Britain directly opening fire and entering the war were only five or five.

What is even more crucial is that the Chinese have just broken out a hot war with Tsarist Russia, are they about to go to war with France? Even if they win, what will happen? Challenging two European powers in a row within half a year will provoke public anger!

What will Britain and other European countries think? They will immediately regard Xiao Lotian as Attila, the 'whip of God,' and the Chinese will be like the Huns in history, which will terrify the whole of Europe and gather all their strength to strangle him.

This kind of conflict is not something that the Chinese people can bear, still less what Xiao Letian wants, so how can the current Chinese people confront the entire European civilization? What Xiao Letian needs now is to take advantage of the Franco-Prussian War and finally win a longer time to recuperate.

There is another concern that Xiao Lotian cannot ignore and that is that the geographical advantage is in the hands of the French, and no longer in the hands of the combined fleet.

Now the Suez Canal is completely in the sphere of influence of the French, and the pitiful small number of British * troops will not play a role, and if it really starts, what if the French directly sink ships to block the north and south of the canal?

The Suez Canal is very narrow, so narrow that it can't run two rows of ships at the same time, and the river channel is forty or fifty meters wide.

If you choose to move forward, you are choosing to escalate the conflict, and it is very likely that war will break out, and it is also very likely that you will be trapped here, and the risk is really not small. [Zero ↑ nine △ small ↓ said △ 網]

So what about retreating? It's not impossible, just retreat to the Red Sea, and then circle the Cape of Good Hope and enter the Atlantic?

This is what the Emperor wanted, and the Bedouin desert bandits were supposed to run the conflict, just to use the complicated situation to drag down the combined fleet and buy time.

Now if you go around Africa, then the French will have more time to move, and perhaps when Xiao Lotian sees Gibraltar, the European * Ethnic Union has been formed.

This is a race against time, how do you Xiao Lotian choose?

Finally, there is another way, that is, to return to the Ryukyus the same way, prepare for war, dig deep holes and accumulate grain, and wait for the Eight-Nation Alliance to fight to the death!

The problem is very complex, but these conditions and possible consequences, including the various variables that can be produced by each choice, must be quickly turned through Xiao Letian's brain in tens of seconds.

Faintly, Xiao Letian could feel that his brain had become a nuclear fusion reactor, and all the glucose in his body was completely drained, all of which was transported to the brain, burning into endless heat, making this brain that can influence the situation in the world overload.

The cold and numb hands and feet are a manifestation of the loss of oxygen in the peripheral blood vessels, and the gradual dizziness in front of the eyes, which is the chaos of the overlapping scenes and reality in the mind.

Xiao Letian was cold and sweaty first, this kind of decision is related to the life and death of tens of millions of people, but he has to make a judgment in a few minutes, this is really not a human job!

At that moment, he even remembered the great monk Longshi, the senior monk who stayed in Japan to supervise some 'dangerous' elements, perhaps only the power of religion could calm Xiao Letian's mind at this moment.

Don't underestimate the great monk of the dragon service, although he was forced to become a monk, but the human spirit is always the human spirit, the political is a famous minister, the army is a famous general, even if he is a monk, he is a famous monk.

Sakamoto Ryoma really doesn't use a monk as a shield, since he put on a monk's robe, he really studies Buddhism every day, and many times he gives Xiao Letian some advice, which is very eye-catching.

"It would be nice if Ryoma-kun was here today......"

"What? What are you talking about, have you made a decision?" asked Wang Huaiyuan eagerly.

Xiao Letian looked at his pocket watch, he felt that he had been thinking about it for three days and three nights, but the time on the pocket watch would not lie, only three minutes had passed, and there were twenty-two minutes left before the artillery was fired.

"This damn fate, it's so annoying, I always have to put the life and death of countless people in my hands and let me choose...... Damn, I really want to pick on my son, no matter how I choose, there will always be countless people who will die because of my choice, how many times will I have to go to hell!"

Xiang Ying stopped hearing it, "Master, what kind of strange words is this! The cycle of life and death, everyone has their own fate, from the moment they choose the big ship of the Chinese people, they should be mentally prepared to endure hardships!"

"How can there be a good thing in the world that you can take advantage of and not suffer losses!" Xiang Ying was sometimes very angry at the Führer's periodic weakness, which was similar to that of a great aunt.

Xiao Lotian is indeed very eccentric, sometimes iron-blooded and not like words, and sometimes weak like a woman, and even has a few days every month, especially compassionate, always blaming himself for leading the Chinese people forward, there are too many dead people along the way.

Isn't this a neurosis? Men who are already at the top of Asia, how can they be so childlike!

"What is a dead man? The Chinese enjoy the advanced system you have brought, the protection given by the new army, the convenience of life brought by the new technology, and the material enjoyment of abundance......

"And the Chinese have gradually escaped the fate of being enslaved by the European colonizers!

"On a peaceful day, the dead will die! If they don't bear the infamy of murder, who will protect their peace! O Führer! We originally chose a way of life and death, and if there is no killing, there will be no day when the nation will break through!"

"Hahaha......" Xiao Letian suddenly laughed wildly, "Okay, okay, Xiang Ying scolded happily! Since you are willing to die with me, then I will take you to break through the ghost gate!"

"Pass my order! Raise the flag of the Zhiyuan! Speed up...... Get into the canal!"
