With the victory in the naval battle in the Indian Ocean, which prevented the reinforcement of the British and French on the Indian front, and the mutiny of the Anglo-Burmese army, the "No. 2 Operational Plan" formulated by the Chinese Ministry of National Defense has been basically completed, and the offensive of the Wehrmacht will not be met with stubborn resistance for a considerable period of time.

Li Bufan finally does not need to soak in the command hall of the Ministry of National Defense every day, and with Li Huashan and the staff officers of the Ministry of National Defense, he can basically deal with it.

After a rare good bath, a good night's sleep, and a good rest, he instigated Pierre, the clone of his only Westerner, to stage a coup d'état and establish the South American Empire. In his opinion, this timing is just right, Pierre's "French" identity is a good talisman, France suffered heavy losses in the world war, the people are extremely war-weary, and France only has a colony of Annam in the Far East, and the other major colonies are in Africa, the French have seen the power of China, and they are lacking an excuse to withdraw from the war, and Britain and the United States will not give the French this excuse, so they will sell the face of the French, and they cannot use force against the South American Empire, and they also do not have that energy.

Wu Di hurriedly entered the back garden of the Ministry of National Defense, saw Li Bufan basking in the sun after making tea, and immediately said: "Boss, it's been November, you are not afraid of the cold." ”

Li Bufan said with a smile: "The sun is warm in winter, come and sit." ”

Wu Di was not polite, sat down and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Li Bufan glared and said, "If it's okay, I can't talk to you about family life?" ”

Wu Di said disdainfully: "Boss, if you don't come to this set, just your surname of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles, will you have nothing to call me over?" I'm in the process of selecting technicians from Southeast Asia, and that's a big deal. ”

Li Bufan laughed dryly and said: "Pierre's coup d'état in Chile was successful, announcing the establishment of a South American empire. ”

Wu Di was stunned and said, "Boss, what are you playing?" Do it now? We can't support it. If Lao Mei sneezes, Pierre's South American empire will 'bang' and it will be over. He knew that Li Bufan was going to get a piece of land in South America, after all, there are too many Chinese, and South America is vast and sparsely populated, which is definitely a good place for immigrants. In fact, this is also an extension of the concept that he has been instilling in Li Bufan to fight for the living space of the Chinese nation. Even if China wins Southeast Asia, Australia, and even Siberia, what will happen? It is best to occupy more than half of the world's population in the future, and there is no need to engage in family planning.

Li Bufan nodded and said, "I don't rule out this possibility, but it may be a very small surname." Now Britain, France and the United States have been defeated by us, and now they are engaged in a nest fight, but I am afraid that no one will support it, Pierre is French, and France will not agree in the first place. So, he explained the role of the South American Empire, "In addition to exchanging expatriates, in fact, I hope to smuggle some of the equipment or precision parts that we urgently need through the South American Empire." ”

Wu Di thought for a while and said, "That's right." Our first wave of attack caught the powers off guard, and the powers needed time to raise troops for a counteroffensive, although there was a gap period, but the next battle would not be so easy, and we could find a way to increase our strength, which was of course the best. ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "I think so too." Therefore, the existence of the South American Empire, we need to try to preserve it. ”

Wu Di smiled bitterly: "Boss, what can I do in this regard?" ”

Li Bufan said seriously: "Of course you have a way. I seem to have heard you say that there is a large oil field in Alaska, USA, near the Arctic Ocean. ”

Wu Di was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, I know." Back in our time, there were only oil field ruins left, and I traveled there. Then he slapped his thigh and said, "I understand, boss, do you mean to let Pierre use this oil field to bribe the Rockefeller consortium in the United States, and let the Rockefeller consortium exert its strength in the United States to ensure the security of the South American empire?" ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "That's right." That's what I mean. ”

Wu Di stared at Li Bufan for a long time, and said with a dry smile: "I'm just afraid, right?" Top dog. There are many ways to bribe American consortia, why do you think about this? ”

Li Bufan smiled bitterly: "I know I can't hide it from you." Let's put it simply. The United States has a developed industry and a large population (it seems to be more than 120 million in this period), and once the war drags on, the United States will most likely become the main force of the Western coalition after we deal a major blow to Britain and France. If we can't attack the American mainland and inflict heavy casualties on the Americans, the powerful industry of the United States will cause us a huge amount of trouble with countless artillery, aircraft, warships, and other supplies, you understand? ”

Wu Di was taken aback and said, "Boss, what do you mean, preparing to attack Alaska?" ”

Li Bufan nodded and said: "Yes, using Alaska as a springboard to attack the US mainland, to do this, whether it is a ground operation or dealing with the navy of the United States that comes to destroy our supply lines, we need a large number of air forces, and the fuel consumption is extremely huge." Our transportation capacity is limited, grain is easy to handle, a fleet can transport hundreds of thousands of tons of grain at a time, enough for a million troops to eat for a year, but what about oil, when the battle is fierce, it may consume more than 100,000 tons per month, or even more, the oil is large in size, light in weight, and easy to be attacked and destroyed, and the most important thing is that once the fuel is exhausted, our planes will not be able to fight, and it will be difficult to resist the attack of the US troops under the cover of the Americans' powerful artillery group and the air force group. I think the best thing to do is to develop oil fields in Alaska and build refineries so that we can replenish our oil on site. ”

Wu Di knew that Li Bufan was reasonable, but he still said: "Boss, fighting in the Arctic Circle is not so easy, the fuel of the plane may be frozen, and the severe cold may be minus fifty or sixty degrees. ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "Of course, I haven't taken these aspects into account. I specifically asked the energy experts that we could make antifreeze that would allow planes to take off and fight at very low temperatures. And the warmth of the soldiers, in that particular cold, it was useless to wear anything, except in a fully enclosed garment, but that was obviously impossible. But I asked the experts that we can produce a kind of thermal powder, as long as some of this kind of thermal powder is added to the cotton clothing, it can provide enough heat to the human body under the heating of the body's body temperature. Besides, the conditions for low temperatures are equal, and if we endure the severe cold, don't the Yankees need to bear it? We have a lot of preparations to minimize the non-combat attrition of our troops, but the Yankees are afraid that they don't know how many people will die in the bitter cold. We can even ask Pierre to secretly prepare some cave troops in Alaska, preparing a large amount of food and cold supplies. ”

Wu Di's gaze was almost dull, and he said half-loudly: "Boss, tell me, are you a traverser or not, you must be the soul snatcher, right?" ”

Li Bufan rolled his eyes and said, "To your sister, I heard this from you." ”

Wu Di said in disbelief: "Then how do you know about antifreeze and warm powder, I didn't even think of it?" ”

Li Bufan said with disdain: "You didn't pay attention to it, what did you say that behind your Lao Tzu and his car friends went to the north for a self-driving trip, the car was frozen, and the antifreeze was mentioned." What did I say about thermal underwear, some unscrupulous merchants in order to reduce costs, use ordinary materials to make good use of warm powder. Many things with common sense surnames are of great use in military affairs. At this stage, it is impossible for us to use thermal materials to protect the warm clothing of millions of troops, but thermal powder is much cheaper and more convenient. ”

Wu Di could only smile bitterly: "Boss, I am convinced, I am really convinced"-

The office of the president of the Rockefeller consortium in the United States received a guest from South America.

Rockefeller looked at the Frenchman with a smile and said leisurely: "I didn't expect His Excellency Pierre to want to be emperor, could it be that he is a fan of Napoleon?" ”

The Frenchman laughed and said: "Every Frenchman is a fan of His Majesty Napoleon." ”

Rockefeller smiled: "Okay, tell me why Your Excellency Pierre asked you to come." ”

The Frenchman laughed: "Our Majesty would like to ask you to exert your influence to ensure the security and existence of the South American Empire." Although His Majesty is convinced that even without the help of external forces, the South American Empire will still not have much of a problem, but it is still necessary to be just in case, and your influence in the United States can help us completely. ”

Rockefeller smiled and said, "What do I get?" ”

The French said seriously: "An oil field, a huge oil field, oil reserves of 10 billion tons." ”

"Boom" Rockefeller's heart was like a lightning strike for a moment, the whole person jumped up, his breathing was heavy, his eyes were shining with a hot light, he stared at Pierre's envoy and said word by word: "Are you sure?" ”

The Frenchman said: "Yes! ”

Rockefeller said viciously: "If you lie to me, Pierre should know the serious consequences." ”

Without fear, the Frenchman said, "Of course. ”

"Good!" Rockefeller said categorically, "As long as this oil field is real, the South American empire is as stable as Mount Tai!" But how can I trust you? ”

The Frenchman said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that the development of this oil field is relatively difficult, and the investment is quite large. If it's all invested by Rockefeller, then of course it's entirely yours. You can also choose to invest with us, you don't have to do anything, you can get 70% of the shares. What do you think of this plan? ”

Rockefeller said, "Not enough." ”

The Frenchman smiled and said, "So so." His Majesty can give you an IOU of one billion dollars, and if the oil field is successfully developed, 70% of the shares will be paid off against the debt, otherwise the money will be repaid. ”

Rockefeller said word by word: "85%!" ”

"I need to ask Your Majesty for advice."

"I'm waiting for your good news!" (To be continued.) )
