PS: Happy New Year everyone, Happy Year of the Monkey!

Winter is here again. Heavy snow covered the whole world, and the snowflakes the size of a coin gradually blurred people's vision, and soon, the whole world turned white. From the Arctic Ocean to the Baltic Sea, from Scandinavia to the distant Urals, the straight and curved passages are all confused with the land next to them. No one can tell where the road is and where the field is in the white snow.

On the bare branches, on the high and low roofs, there is a thick white cotton wool quilt......

Ice and snow swept across the North American continent, but it could not extinguish the heat in the hearts of the American people. Under the threat of the extremely glaring term 'annihilation,' the scene of 20 years ago seems to have reappeared in front of the eyes of 38 million Americans, and the entire United States has given birth to an incomparably powerful force, and millions of people have gone to construction sites and overtime posts without compensation, and have made every effort to strengthen and build a solid defense line, a solid fortress group, and produce tanks and cannons......

This is the power of the people that emerged from the crisis of the collapse of the country.

These information was also quickly transmitted to Beijing through the intelligence system. Nobody cares. The Manchu Dynasty and the Princes of Gon would not slow down their pace because the Americans suddenly showed patriotism. China's strategy for North America was put on the agenda three years ago.

These surging patriotic passions will not add much to the national strength of the United States, and the major powers rely on hard power to fight each other, and passion is really a bit vain. All it takes is a basin of cold water to bring tens of thousands of Americans to their senses!

At this time in Beijing, Liu Xian had already shown his face slightly. Liu Sheng convened a pre-imperial meeting. In addition to the cabinet and a group of dignitaries from the National Assembly, ministers were also present. Some of these people know the truth, such as the cabinet and a few giants in Congress. But more people are uninformed, even a bigwig like Yuan Shikai who came from the intelligence system.

Therefore, when Liu Xian, who was dressed in civilian clothes, appeared in front of these people, the hall was immediately filled with the sound of inhalation and seat tilting.

"The Emperor's ......"

The hall is full of important ministers of the country, who has not stepped on thousands of colleagues and predecessors to get to today's position? Which one is not scheming and profound? But now when he saw the old emperor with white hair and white hair, but his complexion seemed to be good, he was all stunned and dumbfounded.

The 58-year-old Yuan Shikai is even older than the original time and space, in the time and space of Liu Xian's previous life. In 1916, he should have been ruined and died. The short-lived Yuan dynasty became one of the most ironic scenes in modern Chinese history, and at the same time completely ruined the possibility of another emperor in China.

In this time and space, Yuan Shikai is still alive and well, and he has a good life. As the Minister of the Interior, he can be said to have achieved the pinnacle of the intelligence system, but because of his experience, Yuan Shikai has been working in the intelligence system for many years, and all his talents have been biased towards engaging in intelligence and surveillance. We don't know much about the people's livelihood, economic and industrial development, and even less about the military, so it can be said that there is no potential for further progress.

Xinqin is a thriving country like the rising sun, not a decaying and declining dynasty. How is it possible to let a person who has no knowledge of people's livelihood, economy, industry, and military be given the position of first and auxiliary minister above tens of thousands of people?

Yuan Shikai is also very satisfied with everything now. He couldn't even pass the examination in the Manchu Dynasty, but now he has ascended to the position of cabinet minister, just like the military aircraft department of the former Qing Dynasty. Everything is given by the new dynasty, and Yuan Shikai has no ambition that he shouldn't have. Now he is serving the imperial court wholeheartedly. Because of this, I suddenly saw the old emperor who had been 'dead' for many years and appeared in front of him with a good complexion. Yuan Shikai knelt down with a puff.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The next moment, the passionate sound of the mountain shouting long live resounded in the main hall. All the ministers knelt on their knees, and sincerely chanted this otherwise ordinary verbal phrase.

"The sons and daughters bow to their fathers, and their fathers and emperors will live for thousands of generations, and they will rest with the country."

Liu Sheng was also knocked down by a sudden burst of intense emotion, tears welled up in his eyes, and his demeanor couldn't control himself. He has not had an easy time in the past few years. Because of his own Lao Tzu's affairs, he has the same pressure as Mount Tai, and he must not forget to perform all the time, and transfer power to the cabinet and Congress little by little, and at the same time pay attention to control, the royal family can only be delegated to the 'emperor' to his subordinates, not the subordinates to take it from the emperor. Looking at China's 3,000-year-old feudal history, how many monarchs and emperors in power have lived more aggrieved than him?

In the past few years, Liu Sheng's throne has indeed been secured. But he kept the old emperor's 'death' a secret, like black ash stuck to the tofu, dazzling, and slandered by the world. Now that my father is out, all the infamy is solved, and it is conceivable that Liu Sheng's 'forbearance and humiliation' will definitely give him a lot of good reputation. How much the people were dissatisfied with him before, how much the people support him now. It is no exaggeration to say that his throne cannot be shaken even by the old Emperor Liu, who has become a god.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... this night, the entire zn sea fell into an uncontrollable frenzy.

The next day, Albania, Durres.

This important seaport in the western part of the Ottoman Empire fell to the Italians and the French again two months ago. These two countries used 700 warplanes to seize air supremacy in Durrës, and then it would be a piece of cake for them to seize Durrës.

Immediately after the recapture of Durrës, the Italian and French forces built three large airfields nearby, where the two countries deployed 500 aircraft and a large amount of fuel to protect the naval fleet in the port of Durrës. It was also with the support of air power here that the Italian army defeated the counterattack of the Ottoman Albanian 1st Army, and the front line was directly approaching Tirana.

Once again, the Franco-Italian fleet, which had a safe place to stay, did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, and all the lights and wine were isolated from the army, although the sailors still had holidays, the soldiers of the ships were staggered in groups, and there must be people on duty at the positions of the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, and the warships were always vigilant. At the same time, the warships of the Franco-Italian fleet here also frequently attacked the west coast of the Ottoman Empire. The entire Albanian coast was enveloped in the fire of this Franco-Italian detachment.

The Ottoman Empire in the winter of 1917, like Tsarist Russia at the same time in history, was exhausted. People's livelihood is difficult. Although their troops seem to be much sharper than Tsarist Russia, that's why. Obvious.

This is particularly true in Albania, where years of fierce fighting have left life difficult, with large numbers of refugees fleeing for their lives, and the once rich coastal areas are depopulated except for a few inhabitants in the cities. Naturally, the law has collapsed in this land, and the city is like a gathering place, and the farmland is only within ten miles of the city, and this range is the control area of the city, and the distance is no further. There is no legal system, and bandits are rampant in the world.

This reminds every Chinese who has come here of the troubled times of ancient China. People are as cheap as Kusaosuke!

The weaker the Ottoman Empire became, the happier the French and Italians became, and Durrës was very happy these days, except for Christmas celebrations, for victory on the battlefield.

It was a weekend, and Debrien was in high spirits at his own post on the mastboard, a lookout on the French heavy cruiser Palmer, whose rest day was set for Saturday. Yesterday he returned to the dormitory full of alcohol just before the confinement, and when he woke up early this morning, his head was still cute, and he was driven to the mast. "Isn't he afraid that I'll fall headlong because of this devil...... Debrian cursed his boss in a low voice.

The warm sea breeze made him fall asleep. Albania on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea is no match for Northern Europe, which is thousands of miles of ice. Temperatures here are spring-like all year round, with the coldest time of the year reaching 10°C. So Debrien's work was not hard at all, with a warm sea breeze blowing. There was room for the whole mast, but it was much more comfortable than the gunners who were guarding the gun position.

But Debrien's complaints. It's also understandable. He still had a headache after drinking, and was driven to a mast twenty meters high by his boss. Of course, there will be complaints in the heart. And he had a lot of fun yesterday, so today he naturally has resistance to duty. There are too many such people, no one has to deal with them, let them mutter outside for a while, and people will do whatever they are called.

Debrien spent the whole morning on the mastboard, and how he released the water during that time is not for outsiders. At noon, he changed the guard with others, and when he went to the restaurant to eat, he found that the situation was not right.

Before, the Palmer was lively and lively, the atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone talked and laughed. So today, it looks like my own mother and uncle are dead?

Debrien went for a meal, his eyes drilled into the restaurant, and soon he saw several acquaintances.

Maldini, Dekaz and Peliger were all old acquaintances of his, and the Swedish fellow shared a dormitory with him.

"Hi, I said, guys, what's going on today? Why are you all so dull? ”

"God told me, I saw Eldian when I was cooking, and today is his day off, and he is still on the ship? It's incredible. ”

Debrien's eyebrows furrowed as he spoke, and he was now utterly surprised. Can you imagine an alcoholic suddenly quitting drinking? An addict who suddenly quit smoking? That's how he felt when he saw Eldian in the restaurant.

Peligall raised his head and glanced at him weakly, "Be quiet, don't speak loudly now." Everyone was unhappy, depressed and ...... I'm scared, so I'm going to beat you up. I want to sew your mouth shut right now, I don't want to talk at all. Pelliger looked very depressed.

Debrien is not a man of courage, even though his job requires guts, but in life he is an honest man. His eyes swept over the faces of Maldini, Dekaz, and Peliger, and then looked at the expressions on the faces of the people around him, although his heart was as anxious as a hundred claws, he really didn't dare to ask out loud.

He was going to die of curiosity, but in the face of the threat of being beaten, he still chose to endure. Debrian could feel the irritability emanating from the crowd around him, and he really had a feeling that if he wanted to speak loudly again, it would be very bad, and it was very likely that he would be beaten up by the crowd.

Maldini swallowed the last piece of grilled fish, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, looked at Debrien, who was eating with his head down, and his eyes were still secretly staring, and said: "The old emperor of China has been resurrected!" "It was because of the news that came at nine o'clock that all the people were as depressed as their dead relatives.

"Oh, uh-"

Debrien's eyes widened, the muscles of his face twitched, and the stunned voice of reaction pierced the sky.

"Shut up. You bastard! ”

A furious shout rang out from Debrien's side, and a wooden plate slammed into Debrien's head. At this time, Debrien could no longer care about anything else, he grabbed Maldini's hand and grasped it so hard that his knuckles were white.

"You're lying to me, aren't you? The old emperor of China has been dead for three years, how can he be resurrected? ”

The early 20th century was not the Middle Ages, otherwise Debrian would have fallen to his knees screaming the devil, and then prayed to God, and painted a cross on his chest.

Now, of course, Debrien was also on his knees, and he had been kicked down, and then, instead of chanting about God's cross, he was hunched over his head and carrying the flames of rage.

……

"We were all fooled, we were all deceived. The cunning Liu, this devil, let people who have played with the whole world. ”

In the Capitol in New York, the current U.S. Secretary of State William Brown. Jennings. Brian roared to all the members of Congress about his anger and deep despair. The god of war who made China stand on top of the world and made the whole world feared did not die.

At that time, the news that made the whole Western world rejoice was just a smoke bomb released by him, and he loosened the reins of war for the whole world with his 'death', and he deliberately made China show great chaos and let the whole world relax its vigilance against China.

Now, three years later, the outbreak of war is irrepressible. He reappeared and stood in front of the whole world!

Although he is an old man who is nearly eighty years old, who dares to underestimate him? Who would dare to see him as a dying tiger? Oriental people say that the tiger is not dead, but he is not dead here!

"Don't hope for peace, don't pray for the Chinese to stop themselves. The Chinese have deliberately plunged the whole world into war, and their malice towards the United States can be seen by even the blind. ”

"All the nations are united to defend our nations, and to defend the last land of the American people. Let's fight the hateful Chinese to the end. Let the Chinese invaders know that the American people are unconquerable. Let that hateful demon see the tenacity and indomitability of the American nation, and let that demon really go to hell ......" (To be continued.) )
