With twenty-seven cruisers and six squadrons, Germany attacked British and French colonies and sea lines of communication all over the world, causing a headache for the British Empire. Among them, the Far Eastern Detachment, which set sail from Qingdao, China, was the most powerful of them. Baron Shi even led the fleet deep into the vicinity of the Indian port of Goa.

The cost of international ocean freight has tripled in a month and a half, and the cost of marine insurance has more than tripled. Winston Churchill, the British Admiralty, couldn't sleep every day, and he frantically sent warships across the oceans to search for von Churchill. The fleet of the allotment.

Just when he was worried about the soaring cost of international shipping, he was even more worried by the news that 19,000 Turkish soldiers were attacking Egypt, and their real goal was to capture the Suez Canal.

Once the Allies occupied the Suez Canal, the consequences would be beyond the British Empire's affordability, and even if Britain and France recaptured the canal in the future, as long as the Turks blew up the canal's dams and locks, it would inflict huge losses on the Entente. It will be very difficult for Britain and France to draw indigenous troops and replenish supplies from Africa and Asia, and the already high cost of international shipping will rise to an unacceptable level because of the increase in the length of the shipping route by 10,000 kilometers.

Britain and France urgently transferred troops from Africa and West Asia to the vicinity of the Suez Canal in an attempt to stop the Turks and crush the Allied plans to attack the Suez Canal. At the same time, the British promised the Emir of Afghanistan a huge "annuity" to make him side of the Allies and relieve the danger of the Allies attacking India through Afghanistan.

The British and French said that it was not easy, and the Germans were even worse. The Atlantic Ocean was blockaded by the British, and the import of much-needed minerals and agricultural products from Germany was greatly hindered, and the country had to implement food rationing.

Wilhelm II was sad all day, and every day on the battlefield came bad news. Britain, France, and Russia were constantly replenishing their forces, but Germany had to allocate its limited forces on the eastern and western fronts, and had to help its ally Austria-Hungary, otherwise the emperor of Vienna would probably surrender early!

Italy, another ally, was the first to do so, on the one hand, to Germany and to hook up with Britain and France on the side of the Entente. Far away on the other side of the ocean, many people in the United States have also voiced their support for Britain and France and demand that troops be sent to fight Germany.

The Germans, now embattled, although it seems that the front is still in France, but from the point of view of the strategic situation, Germany is absolutely below.

As the British naval blockade became tighter, the supply of weapons, ammunition and supplies for the German front-line soldiers began to be scarce. The Russians, on the other hand, were much more combat-ready than they had at the beginning of the war because they received all-round supplies from China.

The only good news for the Germans at the moment was the trouble that Admiral Von Schpey and his fleet had caused to the British, but the Germans were not sure how long this would last. After all, the naval superiority of the British Empire was simply too great!

"I hope that the seaplane aircraft carrier sold to us by the Chinese can safely transport 40,000 people from Qingdao to Suez!" Merciful God, save Germany! "Wilhelm II prayed silently in the chapel inside the court.

??? Dividing line ???

On February 3, 1915, the Spring Festival was the most important festival in China, and every household in Yanjing City was decorated with lanterns and the sound of firecrackers resounded in the sky. From the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the morning of the first day of the new year, the sound of "crackling" has not stopped.

Zhongnanhai Huairen Hall, Chai Dongliang was nervously spinning around in the yard, like a donkey with a donkey. Groups of doctors, nurses, and midwives in the courtyard were busy, and the maids were busy boiling water and scalding towels.

"Master, you go back and rest first! You can't help a big man with this kind of thing! Wu Meiqi said with a smile.

"I can't sit still in the house, I feel better waiting outside." Chai Dongliang said as he walked around.

"Then you just wait outside for a while, and I'll go in and help???? This child will also pick a child, and on the first day of the new year, he will be born! Wu Meiqi smiled.

Chai Dongliang smiled: "The first day of the new year is good! Children born on this day are celebrated by the whole world, and they are blessed. ”

"Master, wait a little longer, I guess I'm going to give birth soon!" Wu Meiqi smiled and walked into the inner hall.

Chai Dongliang continued to wait anxiously in the yard, always feeling that time was too slow, as if it had been a long time, but when he looked at his watch, the minute hand had only gone two squares.

"Wow wow!" A child's high-pitched cry could be heard from inside the house.

Chai Dongliang suddenly perked up, and saw a midwife who was nearly fifty years old rushing out with a smile: "Congratulations to the president, my wife has given birth." ”

"Oh, boys and girls?"

"Congratulations to the president, it's a little boy!"

Chai Dongliang was overjoyed, jumped on the spot and said: "I have a son, I have a son!" ”

The midwife also joked: "After a while after washing and wrapping, you can see the little boy, the child is good-looking, my wife has been doing midwives for more than 20 years, and I have never seen such a good-looking child." ”

Chai Dongliang knew that she was complimenting herself, but she still ate the sweetness of honey in her heart: "Come on, reward you!" ”

"President Xie!" The midwife's smiling eyebrows bloomed.

After a while, Wu Meiqi came out of it: "Come and see the child." ”

Chai Dongliang rushed over, "Oops", he almost tripped over the threshold, he rushed in regardless of it, and saw the pale Mo Xiaolian lying on the bed, with a swaddling baby beside him.

Chai Dongliang was stunned when he saw the child's appearance.

His skin was wrinkled like a little old man, and his head was pointed like a rocket??? That's ugly, right?

"Why is this head so pointy?" Chai Dongliang asked.

"The child's skull is soft, and it comes out of the mother's birth canal, and the head is flattened! At most, it will be restored tomorrow, you don't have to worry, it's like this with every child just born. ”

Hearing the midwife and nurse say this, Chai Dongliang was quite relieved.

Looking at the little mouse-like child in front of him, Chai Dongliang couldn't suppress his excitement, and then looked at Mo Xiaolian, who was pale with sweat, and suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

He grabbed Mo Xiaolian's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Mo Xiaolian barely squeezed out a smile: "It's my blessing to be able to give you a child." ”

Chai Dongliang suddenly remembered something, turned around and ran.

Wu Meiqi chased out of the door and said, "Master, why are you going?" ”

Chai Dongliang laughed and said, "I have to tell the world the good news." ”

Wu Meiqi shook her head and said to herself with a smile: "No matter how old a man is, he is like a child. It's all a little crazy! ”

Chai Dongliang ran to the study, took out the laptop from the safe, plugged the plug into the wall socket, and turned on the switch.

"Buzz ???"

There was a sound like a cow's roar, and after five minutes, the computer finally turned on, Chai Dongliang hurriedly opened the book friend group and sent a message: "Lao Tzu is a father!" ”

"Congratulations to Tangyuan, from today onwards, you are qualified to be cheated!"

"Boys and girls?"

"It must be a eunuch, the broken wood has a small **"

Chai Dongliang was furious: "Say some fucking auspicious words, it's a big New Year!" ”

After this sentence, the book friend group fell silent. After a long time, the deputy moderator Ma Xiaobraid asked, "Tangyuan, are you confused?" It's October, are you celebrating the New Year? ”

Chai Dongliang realized that the two worlds are not only separated by a hundred years, but even the seasons are completely different, and the Republic of China in which he lives is already the first day of the Lunar New Year, while the book friends of the 21st century are celebrating autumn.

"Tang Yuan, when did you get married? It won't be buy one get one free, right? Mr. Wedding after the child? Ma Xiaobraid asked.

Chai Dongliang was speechless, and said after a long time: "The wife I married in the Republic of China." ”

Ma Xiaobraid suddenly jumped like thunder: "Tangyuan, I call you!" You are really unkind, the Taiwanese sister in the group has long said that it is mine, you soaked it quietly, and even the child got out??? No wonder I haven't seen her for more than a year, and your feelings have been hooked up by you! ”

Where is this? Chai Dongliang couldn't cry or laugh, this Republic of China is not the Republic of China!

However, most of the book friends still expressed their congratulations very kindly, which made Chai Dongliang, who had just become a father, very happy.

When he was proud, he saw the lights in the house flicker and flicker.

Unstable voltage?

Before Chai Dongliang could react, he saw that the monitor also began to flicker, and suddenly the screen went black.

Broken laptop?

Happiness and sorrow, isn't it just giving birth to a child? As for the display of the whole world?

Chai Dongliang's intestines are green!

After traveling to the early years of the Republic of China, the book friend group has almost become a crutch that Chai Dongliang relies on in this world, once he loses it, he feels that the sky is about to fall, and he looks at the pitch-black screen in a daze, and his mind is blank.

I don't know how long it took for Chai Dongliang to come to his senses, as if he had lost his loved ones.

From now on, Chai Dongliang will completely lose contact with China in the 21st century, and he will no longer receive the slightest help from his book friends.

All day long, Chai Dongliang looked depressed, and others thought that he had just become a father, and he was a little uncomfortable, and he was overjoyed.

Chai Dongliang lay in bed all night sleepless, and when the sun rose in the morning, since he couldn't sleep, he asked his surname to get dressed and get up.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, the maid brought breakfast, and the adjutant brought the latest newspaper.

Chai Dongliang had no appetite at all, and his mind was full of the laptop that had been reimbursed.

In China, which has been in the Republic of China for four years, it is absolutely impossible to find someone to repair a laptop!

The laptop is his only communication tool with the twenty-first century, and the last bit of contact he has with that world.

In Chai Dongliang's life, communicating with book friends is the greatest pleasure in life, and the book friends group has also provided him with a lot of help. The information downloaded from the computer, in the world of the four years of the Republic of China, every word is a priceless treasure.

From today on, Chai Dongliang will completely rely on his own ability to work hard in the world in the early years of the Republic of China, and he will no longer be able to get special preferential treatment.

"Wow Wow ???"

There was a child's cry in the inner hall, Chai Dongliang put down the dishes and chopsticks and walked over, only to see Mo Xiaolian hurriedly unwrapping his clothes and putting the child's small mouth on his chest.

As soon as the baby grabbed the **, he immediately stopped crying and gulped down.

"This kid, crying so loudly, full of confidence." Mo Xiaolian's face was filled with the brilliance of her mother's surname.

Chai Dongliang had a complicated mind, and he didn't answer, just looked at his newborn son in a daze.

After only one day, the pointed "rocket head" became a lot more rounded, and the wrinkled face like a little old man became smoother, which was the pink skin of the baby that Chai Dongliang was used to.

Yesterday he was as ugly as a little mouse, but overnight he became a beautiful doll carved in pink.

Chai Dongliang had to admire the miracle of the Creator.

Children are the continuation of their own lives and the carrier of all hopes!

Chai Dongliang's heart suddenly brightened, he is already a father!

Looking at the baby who was greedily sucking milk, Chai Dongliang suddenly felt that the various help provided by the book friend group was nothing less than a mother's milk for himself and this new country, helping him gain the right to survive in a strange environment.

After four years, I and the country have made great progress, just like a child must be weaned to grow up, and I must also get rid of my dependence on the book club.

As painful as it is, it's the price you have to pay for growth!

Farewell, book friends who have accompanied me through countless days of happiness, sorrow, happiness, and pain, farewell, those readers who are concerned about the fate of me and this country!

Thank you for helping this country, and thank you for being with me through the first difficult years!

I swear that I will build a better country in another time and space, and I will never fail to live up to your high expectations!

Chai Dongliang silently swore in his heart, his eye sockets were moist at that moment!
