Three days later, Port Said fell, and the Chinese Imperial Dragon Flag was raised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

For a time, the whole world shook.

The attack of the Chinese Imperial Army on the Suez Canal was expected by all countries in the world for a long time, but it was only a matter of time.

Since the Chinese Empire sent troops, the broad consensus of the countries in the world is to spend 100,000 troops and spend half a year to build the Suez Canal, mainly because the military experts of all countries have studied the fortifications of Port Said, which are built according to the fortifications of Guam Island of the Chinese Empire, known as the first fortress in Europe, Asia and Africa.

The British military, in particular, boasted that there was no problem with the 50,000 defenders holding out for three years.

However, the final result was that the Chinese Empire only sent a small number of troops, less than 25,000 people, and captured Port Said in three days, and all 50,000 British troops under Major General Miller were killed.

For a time, the strength of the Chinese Empire made the entire Anglo-French-Russian Entente bloc feel powerless.

However, the Allied powers Germany, Italy and Austria were happy on the surface and sent congratulatory messages to the Chinese Empire, but in fact they were angry and annoyed that the Chinese Empire did not follow the rules and meddled in Europe, intending to carve up European spheres of influence with Germany, Italy and Austria.

This is not allowed, even if the Chinese Empire is strong, Germany, Italy and Austria are not afraid, because the Chinese Empire violates their core national interests, but when it comes to the core interests of the country, the allies will turn their faces.

Of course, Germany, Italy and Austria will not immediately turn against the Chinese Empire, they only demand through diplomatic channels that after the Chinese Imperial Army captures Suez, it will no longer enter Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, otherwise it will affect the alliance relations.

In fact, Li Weiguo did not expect that the battle would go so smoothly, although he gave an order to the commander of the navy, land and air force that the Suez Canal must be opened before the arrival of the Pacific Fleet, but Li Weiguo also knew that this was difficult for some strong people, and whether he could successfully complete the task could only do his best to obey the fate of heaven.

As a result, the three cities heavily defended by the British army on the Suez Canal, the strongest Port Said, followed by Suez City, and again Ismailia, the two strongest cities were the first to be defeated, especially Port Said, which was originally just a feint, but it only took one town of troops to fight in three days.

This was completely unexpected by Li Weiguo.

In Wuhan, Kyoto, at the regular court meeting, the report on the Battle of Port Said became a hot topic.

Previously, the navy and army set aside the air force and launched the Suez City Campaign alone, which aroused strong dissatisfaction and protest from Air Force Commander Zhuang Jiuxia; this time in the Battle of Port Said, the air force dispatched 1,500 fighters, which played a key role and fully aroused the great attention of the navy and the army.

However, the army and navy will not easily recognize the status of the air force, so the navy, army and air force are at loggerheads over the distribution of credit for Port Said.

Li Weiguo didn't care about the quarrel between the navy, land and air force, his eyes were just staring at the personal information of Yuan Kai, the acting division commander of the 33rd Town.

Mingyue next to him immediately reminded: "This person is the son-in-law of the governor of Cyprus, and his identity is clean!" ”

Li Weiguo nodded, and when he saw the word Yuan Kai, he instinctively thought of Yuan Shikai for some reason.

"What about Yuan Shikai?"

Hearing Li Weiguo's inquiry, Mingyue immediately gave his subordinates a look, and after a while, she sent all the archives of Yuan Shikai.

Such a fast efficiency is not because of how powerful the employees of China S.H.I.E.L.D. are, but because Yuan Shikai has always been the focus of Li Weiguo, so China S.H.I.E.L.D. always keeps Yuan Shikai's files.

After Mingyue saw it, she replied to Li Weiguo: "Your Majesty, Yuan Shikai had already died in the fire a few years ago, and the minister reported this matter to His Majesty at that time. ”

Li Weiguo suddenly realized this time and remembered the events of that year.

The fire was naturally planned for a long time, and Li Weiguo did not agree to this matter, but he did not oppose it either, it was completely the hands of his subordinates who figured out the holy will and acted on their own, but Li Weiguo did not pursue it.

Today, Li Weiguo's state of mind has changed dramatically again.

In the past, he felt that Yuan Shikai and a group of others were potential dangers, and they could shake and threaten the Li family.

But later Li Weiguo found that his rule over the Chinese Empire was already very solid, and as his children grew up, all of them were quite talented, and even if the heir could not reach the peak level of Li Weiguo in the future, it would definitely be no problem to guard the country.

The country is stable, even if Yuan Shikai is given great ability, he will not be able to shake the Li Empire.

Therefore, Li Weiguo regretted it later, he thought that if he was not too cautious, if Yuan Shikai was allowed to survive, he might be able to become a generation of famous generals and important ministers of the Chinese Empire and play more contributions.

"It's a pity!"

Li Weiguo sighed, although he cherishes talents, but since he has done it, even if there is a trace of regret, it will soon fade away.

"Yuan Kai made a meritorious contribution to the capture of Port Said, was promoted to the rank of major general, officially served as the commander of the 33rd town division, and rewarded the first-class baron to see the aftermath!"

Zhang Xiaoliu, Lin Jiyun, Zhuang Jiuxia and others who were arguing suddenly quieted down, and then the army generals were elated, although they didn't know who Yuan Kai was, but after all, they were from the army, proving that this credit belonged to the army.

Lin Jiyun and Zhuang Jiuxia were immediately deflated, thinking that Li Weiguo was once again biased in favor of Zhang Xiaoliu.

Soon, Li Weiguo also discovered this problem, and he would not reward and punish unclear.

"This time, the army, navy, and air force have achieved a great victory in the joint operation, and the Navy's Mediterranean Fleet has made great contributions, and the Air Force has dispatched 1,500 fighters to participate in the battle. In this way, all departments of the navy, army, and air force separately recorded the meritorious soldiers, and then reported them together, and we unified the awards! ”

A bowl of water is flat, and Li Weiguo can only deal with it like this.

Although the generals of the army, navy, and air force were not reconciled, they did not dare to say more.

Many things were discussed at the following court meeting, and at present, the economic construction of the Chinese Empire has not been interrupted, and the momentum of rapid growth is still maintained. This is all thanks to the stimulation of the war, the steel, petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, machinery and other industries have been 100% of the production capacity, the original overcapacity may cause an economic crisis, but also with the war of a large amount of consumption, the danger of the outbreak of the economic crisis has been eliminated.

With the outbreak of war, the consumption of guns and ammunition accounted for the lion's share, and the surplus domestic steel resources came to use, and with the emergence and mass production of tanks and aircraft, steel production not only returned to the pre-war scale, but more than doubled.

During the war, the economies of all the participating countries around the world were in decline and collapsed, but the economy of the Chinese Empire continued to grow, which made the countries of the world blush. They knew very well that no matter how the war was fought, the ultimate beneficiary would be the Chinese Empire.

In addition to economic problems, there are military problems.

The world war is not over yet, but Li Weiguo is thinking about the next war and looking for the next enemy.

German Empire!

This was the first time that Li Weiguo had made his thoughts public in the court, which immediately caused the surprise of the civil and military officials.

Although we all know what Li Weiguo says every day -- allies are used to be cheated and betrayed, it still caused a lot of shock when Li Weiguo took the initiative to say that he wanted to deal with the German Empire and regard the German Empire as the main enemy in the next war.

This is the emperor!

The world war has not yet ended, and it is time to think about the next war and prepare to deal with the next enemy.

The civil and military officials are sighing in their hearts, no wonder Li Weiguo can be the emperor, but they can only be a subordinate, this far-sighted gap is too big!

Your Majesty!

Don't you be so far-sighted, okay, let me wait for the civil and military officials, how can I be embarrassed!

I thought so in my heart, but no one dared to say it, so I could only communicate with each other with my eyes!

"Your Majesty, our army is in a hurry to open the Suez Canal, won't it be a war against the German Empire?"

Some ministers quickly thought of the Battle of the Suez Canal and expressed their thoughts.

Li Weiguo said with a smile: "We regard Germany as the main enemy in the next war, but we don't necessarily fight it now!" The reason why the Suez Canal should be opened as soon as possible is to sail the Pacific Fleet to the European theater ahead of schedule. According to intelligence, it is possible for Germany to defeat the Anglo-French coalition, and when the time comes to occupy France, Britain will soon surrender, and we cannot let both Britain and France be occupied by Germany! ”

This is to snatch the fruits of victory of the German Empire!

The civil and military officials are all old fritters, and you will understand it when you hear it!

"Your Majesty, we only dispatch the Pacific Fleet, and without the cooperation of the army, how can we snatch the fruits of Germany's victory?"

"If we send an army, won't that force the German Empire to turn against us immediately?"

"Italy, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire have all sent congratulatory telegrams, but privately they are warning us not to send any more troops! The fact that the Ottoman Empire, in particular, went so far as to ask us to hand over the Suez Canal to them fully demonstrates their extreme dissatisfaction with the current actions of the Reich! ”

"If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different! These Westerners are not in the same worldview as us Easterners, and sooner or later there will be a war! ”

"That's right! How dare you lick your face and ask us for the Suez Canal? This Ottoman is also too arrogant! Resolutely don't give, if you don't accept it, you will fight! ”

"That's it! Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a war between the East and the West, so we simply don't do it twice, and when Britain, France, Russia and Germany, Italy and Austria are both defeated, we will directly send troops and kill them! With the military power of the Empire, there is no problem! ”

Compared with civilian officials, military attachés are much more radical and want to go to war directly.

Li Weiguo did not think of going to war directly, but in that case, it would be equivalent to the Chinese Empire starting a war with the entire Western world, and the result would inevitably be a situation of endless death.

According to Li Weiguo's own ideas, it is better to wait until Britain, France, Russia, and Germany, Italy, and Austria have won over the defeated countries to confront the victorious countries, which is the best way to weaken the strength of the entire Western world.

"On land, the Anglo-French army may not be able to stop the army of the German Empire, and defeat is a matter of time! It is not yet known who will die with the British and French navies in a desperate gamble with the German navy. If Germany loses, the Pacific Fleet will go to war with Britain and France, and then occupy LinkedIn as a bridgehead to control Germany in Europe. ”

Hearing Li Weiguo's statement, the eyes of the civil and military officials suddenly lit up, and the feeling was to pick peaches, and the target they picked was very good, once the British Navy was defeated, Britain would inevitably surrender, and the British Isles could just contain the development of Europe, even if Germany occupied France, it would be subject to the British Isles in the future.

Clever strategic arrangement!

Lin Jiyun couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, our navy assures you that we will definitely destroy the British Royal Navy and occupy Britain!" But what if the German High Seas Fleet wins? They're going to take over the British Isles! ”

Li Weiguo glanced at Lin Jiyun, and was about to scold Lin Jiyun for not having a long brain, but someone said it for him.

"Lord Lin, are you old and dizzy? You can't even see what Your Majesty means, wow? No matter who wins or loses in the end, the Empire must attack Britain and control Britain in its hands, otherwise how will the German Empire curb the rise of the German Empire in Europe in the future? ”

Everyone was stunned, but they saw that it was Zhuang Jiuxia who spoke.

This is the first time Zhuang Jiuxia scolded Lin Jiyun, obviously being bullied by the Navy and Army for a long time, and finally broke out.

From this moment on, Zhuang Jiuxia didn't plan to give face to the Navy and Army anymore, he was going to fight for the face and status of the Air Force, so there was no room for him to leave as soon as he exited.

Lin Jiyun was also stunned, the navy has always been the strongest branch of the Chinese Empire, and its weight in the military accounts for more than 60 percent, and even the army has to retreat, but now he is scolded by a junior, which makes Lao Lin tremble.

If Li Weiguo hadn't been here, I'm afraid Lin Jiyun would have scolded and even beaten people.

The other generals of the navy were also extremely angry, glaring at Zhuang Jiuxia with an expression of wanting to eat people.

After the air force generals were enlightened, they quickly occupied Zhuang Jiuxia's side, and they also had the same posture that you dare to do it, and we will accompany you to the end.

Li Weiguo was also surprised, but soon thought that it was not easy for Zhuang Jiuxia to lead the Air Force, and he was pressed by the Navy and Army, and if it continued like this, it would also be detrimental to the development of the Air Force.

Therefore, Li Weiguo supports Zhuang Jiuxia in his heart, after all, the greatest weight of national defense in the future will be the Air Force, and whether the country is strong or not is all in the combat effectiveness of the Air Force.

Seeing that the atmosphere within the military was suddenly tense, Li Weiguo suddenly coughed twice and said, "That's all for today's court meeting!" I'm tired, let's retreat! Zhuang Jiuxia stays, I have something to tell you! ”

What does this mean, it couldn't be more obvious, it is clearly to protect Zhuang Jiuxia, and there is even a hint of warning.

Although Lin Jiyun is angry, he has been with Li Weiguo for many years, and he knows Li Weiguo's temper too well, so he can't overdo everything.

It may be that the Battle of the Suez Canal, the Navy and Army put aside the Air Force to do it alone, which made Li Weiguo unhappy, so Lin Jiyun was honest in an instant, didn't dare to say more, respectfully shouted Long live, and then withdrew from the hall with other civil and military officials.
