"What did you just say about keeping it for five years?"

Miao Luo walked into the study in cotton pajamas with her hair tied up, and her cheeks showed a faint joy. After leaving the three of them for dinner, Yang Qiu put on his coat and hurried to prepare for the visit. Wang Zhengting has already telegraphed back that he has agreed with the Italian and French governments that Yang Qiu will visit the two countries in early July, and will eventually cross the Atlantic to visit the United States, and finally return from San Francisco on the west coast to visit the local Chinese. Considering that the threat of German submarines was too great to ensure safety even if he was informed in advance, the General Staff and the Security Bureau forbade him to visit Britain, and finally chose to hold closed-door consultations with the British foreign minister in Bordeaux.

"It's nothing, it's just to make a smooth transition for the north for five years." Yang Qiu didn't look up, so he didn't notice her expression and continued: "By the way, you should also prepare for the family affairs before the visit in Chapter 386, especially the French should be practiced more. ”

Miao Luo sighed lightly, Dai Mei twisted slightly and walked to the side, pursed the corners of her mouth and stopped talking for a long time before she said quietly: "Chenhua, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you on a visit this time, let Senior Sister accompany you." ”

"Huh?" Yang Qiu raised his head and looked at her in surprise. This is his first visit to Europe is very important, the two discussed before that they should be fully prepared, and they also sent a telegram to the United States Zhi Gong Court to go to San Francisco's Chinatown to see his grandfather, how did he change his mind? Thinking that she said that she would let Rui Yao accompany her, she thought that she wanted to match that matter again. Although she didn't know how often she mentioned this matter during this time, it was child's play to visit! Even if he really took a concubine, it was impossible to leave Mrs. Zhengpai and take a concubine to visit, so his face was a little unhappy, and he said: "Don't mess around, visiting abroad is a big deal, how can you take people indiscriminately." What will Europe think of me? What do you think of our Republic of China!"

When Miao Luo heard that he had misunderstood, he suddenly chuckled. Leaned over a few steps closer and was about to bite his ear to tell him the truth, when a cold snort suddenly came from outside the study. Rui Yao held her coffee. His eyes were red and his face was cold, and he walked in, and the whole person seemed to be hanging a layer of frost, and put the coffee on the table heavily: "Busy, busy!" Every day is a state affair, and I don't even know that my sister is pregnant before the 386th chapter of the division's visit! Still not like a husband? ”

"Pregnant? Are you pregnant? Yang Qiu seemed to feel completely stunned by something, and he didn't even think about why Rui Yao was angry. Miao Luo glanced at Rui Yao, who was angry, and glared at Yang Qiu fiercely, and said lightly: "I felt a little uncomfortable when I was in Sichuan, and I thought it was because the car and boat were too long, and it didn't work well to come back and rest for so many days, so I asked my senior sister to accompany me to see the doctor today, and said." ”

"Great! I'm going to be a dad. Ha ha. I didn't wait for her to finish. Yang Qiu had already excitedly picked her up by the waist and turned around several times in the study. Miao Luo, who was dizzy, also beat him happily, she was most worried about being married for so long that she couldn't give Yang Qiu a child, only Rui Yao next to her looked at them and was secretly sad, and the corners of her mouth hooked miserably twice, as if all her strength had been drained, and she turned around (the fastest update). In fact, she had already heard Yang Qiu's words outside the door just now, although she also knew in her heart that he could take herself through when he went abroad to visit the country on behalf of the country. But the phrase "leading people indiscriminately" still made her very sad. Thinking of this time last year, a year has passed and the time has come to an end, and I am about to enter the thirtieth Fanghua but I am still lonely and small, so I can't wait to take the door away and never come back. *.

Seeing her leave, Miao Luo remembered and hurriedly said, "It's all you!" What is it that cares about bringing people? Senior sister is afraid that she is going to die of sadness, so she should not go and explain it quickly. "But you. ”

"It's only been two months, so let's go." Miao Luo glared and pushed Yang Qiu out of the door.

Yang Qiu reluctantly walked to Rui Yao's room, and when he arrived at the door, he found that the door had been locked. Hearing a convulsion inside, he said, "Rui Yao, open the door, I think we should talk." After knocking several times and not responding, he didn't know what to do, he didn't know how to coax a woman in his previous life, otherwise he wouldn't be in his thirties and beat a bachelor, thinking about it, when he explained it after meeting tomorrow, he suddenly pulled away.

"What is there to say? Don't you dislike me. Then I'll go. Rui Yao wanted to be more and more sad, and after opening the door, she turned around and deliberately pretended to pack up. Yang Qiu hurriedly stopped her and said, "Actually, I didn't mean that just now. ”

"And what do you mean?" Rui Yao turned around suddenly, her beautiful eyes staring directly at Yang Qiu's eyes, as if waiting for him to say it himself.

Facing these eyes, Yang Qiu didn't know what to do, standing there in a daze, and said for a long time: "Visiting abroad is a big deal, Wang Zhengting has discussed with the Italian and French governments before, and the entourage, quantity, and accommodation cannot be wrong, if you change it temporarily." Seeing that he was still talking about the visit for a long time, Rui Yao suddenly hated it, and when she remembered Miao Luo's words, she suddenly hugged him hard, buried her face in his arms and said quietly: "Chenhua, I don't want to fight with my junior sister for anything, and I don't want a name, as long as I can be by your side." I know that you are afraid of gossip outside, saying that you are greedy for women, and that those who follow you will be content with three wives and four concubines, but I just can't help but miss you. ”

As she spoke, she cried first, where is there still the momentum of the leader of the gang back then, like a little girl who has been wronged. Yang Qiu didn't know how to be good, in fact, Rui Yao was still above Miao Luo in terms of appearance, figure, ability, etc. But as she said just now, he was indeed afraid that he would get married and take a concubine to give him a bad impression below. He knows better than anyone that it seems that the reunification of the country has defeated Japan, but the domestic undercurrent is still not small. National education has only begun to be implemented, the idea of feudal ignorance is still very prevalent, and the vast majority of rural areas are actually still in the hands of the gentry and big families, although he also wants to establish a multi-level management mechanism to put the whole country into the orbit as soon as possible, but as Yuan Shikai warned before his death, at this time the Republic of China is no longer the initial stage of great chaos, and some things can no longer be solved by simple violent means, which will only bring panic and chaos to the country.

He knows better than anyone how much damage the country will be done by the mob politics and revolutionary methods adopted by the poor party from next year! China is at a crossroads of transformation, but the October Revolution is just around the corner, and it is impossible to overstate how much impact this revolution has had on the world and China! It was precisely because of this revolution that China, which was overwhelmingly poor and proletariat, led to the emergence of the May Fourth Movement and eventually became involved in a long period of turmoil. In a narrow sense, the real China has been broken since the May Fourth Movement! This is like experiencing several times of foreign domination, which led to the abrupt end of Han civilization.

So he is still trembling, even if the national strength is not good, he is still ready to grit his teeth and block this red tide for five years! Then through a longer period of gradual dismantling of the family-style local politics. Establish a well-established rule of law rather than a man-ruled state, and incentivize those who divert capital to industry and commerce through huge profits and the rule of law. In this way, the dependence on land will be gradually reduced, and this foreign idea will be fundamentally dismantled, and China's own traditional culture will be preserved. And in this process, tens of millions of young people who follow themselves are the key! It is the hope of the nation. Only when they gradually replace the official system that is still inextricably linked to the late Qing Dynasty can they break the old system and realize the rebirth of the country!

He can't say these things to others, and even if he does, no one believes them yet, so if he openly takes a concubine, will he disappoint the young man? Will it make some people settle for pleasure and forget their duties? Yang Qiu looked down at Rui Yao, and it happened that the latter also raised his head to look at him, but when his eyes were entangled, he sighed heavily in his heart. So far, I can't let this woman down no matter what. So I could only slowly hug her with my arms. The tentacles' warm thin waist was smooth and hot, and the two clotted fat that couldn't be wrapped in it stuck to his chest made him a little short of breath.

Rui Yao was even more unbearable after being hugged by him, and slowly put red lips on tiptoe. When the two lips touched and were about to entangle, there was another knock on the door. "Chenhua, are you there?" Miao Luo's voice came from outside. Frightened, Senior Sister Rui hurriedly pushed Yang Qiu away and wanted to cry without tears. I just made up my mind, why did I come to catch the rape! opened the door with a cheek like a red iron plate, and when he saw Miao Luo, who seemed to be smiling, he didn't have the courage to run to the bathroom quickly at first glance.

Miao Luo giggled, glared fiercely at Yang Qiu, who came out of the aftermath: "It's all you!" Yang Qiu didn't explain after innocently spreading it out, but she hurriedly pointed downstairs: "I'll go see Senior Sister, you go downstairs, Cai Gongshi and Song Ziqing said that they are looking for you in an emergency." ”

Ziqing? Yang Qiu forgot about the troublesome and sweet family affairs for the time being, Song Ziqing must have something urgent when he came back as soon as he left, so he hurriedly sorted out his clothes and walked downstairs.

"Didn't you draw my attention to a place called Verdun in France?" I walked to the living room and didn't ask yet. Cai Gongshi hurriedly handed the telegram to him, and Song Ziqing also said beside him: "I just received the news that the German army began to attack there yesterday morning!"

Verdun meat grinder? Yang Qiu suddenly turned his head to look at the calendar on the wall.

It was two weeks earlier!

********

With the good news of Miao Luo's pregnancy, Yang Qiu returned to Nanjing to start a busy new year.

The most critical year in Europe began with the guns of Verne. The Germans knew that they could not kill people with one fist, so after taking advantage of the tanks that appeared on the battlefield for the first time, they began to break through to Verdun. Just open Verdun, known as the northern gate of Paris. Cooperate with Compiègne to form a flanking situation. Once that situation is formed, Paris will not be able to hold it! Without Paris, France would not have fought any more. So in any case, Britain and France will fight to the death Verne, and the meat grinder is inevitable. Together with the Battle of Jutland, the Romanian Campaign, the Arab Campaign, and the craziest year have finally arrived! Although it is not known whether the Third Battle of the Somme will occur, the Verdun meat grinder fought from the beginning of the year to the end of the year will finally change the strength of the two groups, and if it were not for the collapse of Russia and the German army being able to regain its vital forces from the Eastern Front, perhaps the war would not have ended with the great flu.

It was the craziest year, and the terrifying figure of 30 million dead and wounded in the parallel world accounted for nearly half of the year!

In the newly built General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense at the foot of the Purple Mountain, Song Ziqing and others began to make routine reports after congratulating Yang Qiu, and the focus of the discussion was still on the war in Europe. The person in charge of the commentary is Li Zongren, who has just graduated and was assigned to the army staff, facing him and many generals and the famous Xiao Zhuge in the future, at this moment, like facing the tutor's students, the tip of the nose is faintly sweating.

"The German tactics were very effective, taking advantage of the British and French eagerness to increase their forces to Compiègne to protect Paris, first sending two divisions to feign to Ashamba and then attacking Reims to successfully draw the attention of Britain and France to the periphery of Paris, and to concentrate ten divisions on Verdun to attack. The French garrison there initially had only two divisions, led by their General Petain. Judging from the news that came back one after another, the German army used a total of more than 1,000 cannons, fired a total of 850,000 shells in 10 days, and also used poison gas and new weapons that can breathe fire. ”

"Good boy! 1,000 cannons, 750,000 shells!" Hearing this, Feng Guozhang was the first to solemnize, what is the concept of 850,000 shells? Yang Qiu was a transaction again, and it took several years to finally get Hanyang and Chongqing, and now the state-owned Zhengzhou and Fengtian have been added. A total of four large military-industrial complexes can only produce about 400,000 shells per month, while the German army has more than two months of reserves in ten days!

I'm afraid that place called Verne has turned into slag, right?!

"The gap is too big!" Although Sa Zhenbing is a navy, he will naturally not miss this kind of great war, and said with emotion: "I am afraid that this kind of battle is not thought of by our generation!" Last year, we only used a total of 100,000 artillery shells against Japan, and at that time we already thought it was powerful, but now we really don't see it in the stream. ”

The terrible ammunition consumption figures made the officers present gradually uneasy, and during the Sino-Japanese war, they still felt that the good firepower configuration was a child compared to Europe! This kind of blow is very similar to the "Desert Storm" operation at the end of the twentieth century that Yang Qiu personally experienced. At that time, he had just enlisted in the army, and the offensive frenzy of air-ground cooperative missiles opening the way during the live television broadcast not only dumbfounded him, but also made the whole world crazy, and the Republic directly fell into anxiety and unrest for more than a decade.

Seeing that these generals in front of him were obviously frightened by the scale and fright of the European war at this moment, Yang Qiu was not only not worried but very happy, only fear could make people see the gap and catch up, and slowly raised his head and asked, "Where are we and anyone?" ”

Li Zongren opened the numbers of the German, French, and British troops that he had already known, inquired about it, and said: "On the German side, Liu Mingzhao is there, and they have been promoted to lieutenant company commander after their meritorious service on the Somme last time, while the others are in Compiègne and Reims, and on the French side, Ke Shao and Jiang Zuobin have brought 37 people to take charge of the observer work in this direction. ”

Yang Qiu was about to speak, when Lei Meng walked in and interrupted him: "Commander-in-chief, the French minister is here." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are some things that you will never understand if you don't participate, and as soldiers, we must not only think about the present, but also plan for the future." Yang Qiu got up and was about to go to see the French minister, but he thought about it and turned back.

He said, "Let's start preparing." ”……！！！
