When he received Niu Quyun's call, Hu Zhen was holding a family banquet with Han Yuqing, Zhong Ling, and Kaorani in the royal garden next to the Forbidden City.

At this time, Kaorani was playing the piano, and Han Yuqing and Zhong Ling sang "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" for Hu Zhen with the rhythm, and the three wives were happy.

Hu Zhen spent most of his time fighting outside, and finally got together with his wife, and enjoyed a burst of family fun today, but a ringing phone broke the harmonious atmosphere.

Hu Zhen's face immediately turned gloomy when he was still full of spring breeze just now, and informed the servant to ask the driver waiting outside the door to start the car, and he was going to rush to the war room of the General Staff.

"Your Majesty, are you going to war?" Caorani walked up to the piano with a depressed stomach.

"I'm sorry, someone didn't let me and the entire empire rest in peace, and I can only accompany me to the end!" Hu Zhen straightened his collar and walked towards the door.

Kaorani hugged Hu Zhen and said confusedly: "I really don't understand, why do you men like to fight and kill so much?" ”

"This is not what I want, my Chinese Empire urgently needs to recuperate for ten, twenty, or even thirty years in order to achieve a peaceful and prosperous era, but if someone wants to take advantage of the early establishment of my Chinese Empire, I will not agree!"

Hu Zhen kissed Kaolani's delicate little face, and when he saw Han Yuqing and Zhong Ling standing beside him, he kissed them one by one, and waved his hand: "You all have a good rest, for the sake of me, for you and for the peace of the homeland of the people of the entire Chinese Empire, I am going out to get busy!" ”

Looking at Hu Zhen's figure walking out of the door, Kaorani thought that he had been snubbed for marrying him, and he had only been together for a long time and was about to separate, so he was so angry that he stomped his feet, and a few tears fell out of his eyes and fell to the ground.

In the end, Han Yuqing, who was pregnant and had a big belly, came up and comforted: "Husband...... The emperor often tells us that friends come to have good wine, jackals come and wait for it is a shotgun, the Chinese Empire was established, there were robbers who wanted to come to our homeland to rob property, if the Chinese Empire did not play a prestige, how to gain a foothold in this world in the future, this is his duty, let him go, we will do our own things at home, don't let him be distracted! ”

"If you don't finish the battle, how can you sell your perfume? Let him finish the battle, and sell your perfume all over the world in the future! ”

Zhong Ling's persuasion was more direct and effective, and Kaorani immediately thought that his perfume enterprise group was thriving because of the technical support that Hu Zhen got from nowhere, and its sales volume increased more than ten times compared with a few years ago, although it was far from Zhong Ling's Antai Tire Enterprise Group's monopoly of 90% of the world's terrifying market share, but it was much better than his own budget......

Thinking of this, Kaorani immediately seemed to have motivation, and helped Han Yuqing and said, "After we eat, sister, you teach me to cook authentic Chinese food!" ”

While the three women were talking, Hu Zhen had already strode out of the door, got onto the bulletproof car, and under the escort of four cars, galloped towards the Xishan General Staff Headquarters in the capital.

Since the news of Cixi's arrival in Ili came, the General Staff Headquarters has entered a state of combat readiness, and today received an ultimatum from the Minister of Oros, everyone knows that war is inevitable, and work is even busier, with the sound of telegrams, telephones, and human voices coming and going, and officers and staff officers running around in various departments and departments, a busy atmosphere before the war.

After Hu Zhen arrived, he walked directly to the combat command room, and the officers he met along the way stood up and saluted, Hu Zhen nodded and waved his hand to ask everyone not to be polite.

In front of the sand table map in the operational command room, Su Wenzhen, chief of the general staff, Zheng Dingbang, Du Ligao, deputy chief of the general staff, Chen Zichao, minister of intelligence, and a large group of officers and staff officers had already gathered.

As soon as Hu Zhen stepped in, he asked, "Is there any movement on our border with Oros now?" ”

"So far, there is no news about any abnormalities at the border, but this does not rule out that the border is too backward because of the means of communication and transportation, what happened, we don't know yet!"

Su Wenzhi reluctantly replied that in the past few months, the construction of border defense has been intensively carried out, but the thousands of kilometers of remote border line, cable telegraph and wireless telegraph networks still cannot be completely covered.

"No news is good news, if the Oros Empire wants to make a move, although we are far from being ready for war, Hu Zhen nodded, stepped forward, browsed the sand table map from east to west, and asked: "Do you judge where the Oros will start a large-scale war first!" ”

Su Wenzhen replied: "There is a relatively big controversy in the General Staff, which is mainly divided into three views: the first view is that if the Oros Empire wants to carry out a large-scale war, it will inevitably strike first in Xinjiang, and our forces there are weak, and in the short term we can only rely on the defense of the former Qing army that surrendered, and the Oros army will fight there, and there is great confidence that we will take Xinjiang and Tangnu Ulianghai into the bag."

The second view is that the Oros army will not start a war on the Xinjiang side, although our army is weak over there, and although the land over there is vast and boundless, at present, it does not have much value, and the most valuable target is the capital of our Chinese Empire, and the Oros army will take advantage of the Cossack cavalry to cross a distance of two or three thousand kilometers and advance to our capital.

There is also a third view that the Oros army will take advantage of the sea and land superiority of Vladivostok to wage war in the northeast direction, seize the northeast of our country, especially the port of Arthur, and thus lock the throat of our capital to the sea, and at the same time send troops from the Mongolian steppe in the north, forcing us to cede the Great Wall or all the territory north of the Yellow River! ”

After listening to Su Wenzhen's words, Hu Zhen stared at the sand table map, and felt that if the Oros army wanted to start a large-scale war, it would basically be in these three directions, but the South China Sea side could not relax, so he reminded:

"There are two other directions, although they are not very anxious, but they must also be defended, and that is the South China Sea, if the Oros Navy sends a fleet from its native North Sea and the Black Sea to reinforce the Far East through the Suez Canal, or unites the naval fleets of other European countries to come, we can't give him to smash our industrial base in the South Seas!

In addition, it is not excluded that the Oros army, with the intelligence support of the Mi Guokees, will cross the Atlantic Ocean and raid our Puerto Rico, Guantanamo, Panama bases, and Alaska, and the navy and army in these places will also strengthen their vigilance and defense to guard against any enemy sneak attack.

The Ministry of Intelligence should strengthen its monitoring and vigilance over Europe, and the navy and army should make full preparations. ”

Everyone echoed together: "Yes! Obey the Emperor's orders! (To be continued.) )
