This war did not have another big war on land as Liu Xian thought, so as to completely defeat the spirit of the Europeans. As soon as the naval battle in the Gulf of Aden was publicized all over the world, the Europeans' overt or covert intention for peace talks was already revealed. Germans, British, French and Italians, and even Austria-Hungary. Max's fears are not unfounded, and at the time of his four-party talks with Cao Rulin, Kerensky, and Dzhugashvili, bilateral or multi-party talks are taking place in many places throughout Europe.

The MIA even got a secret piece of information that the Austro-Hungarian emperor Karl I was secretly transferring the wealth of the Habsburgs.

It is also ridiculous to say that many of the generals in the Austro-Hungarian army were still loyal to the Habsburgs, but their ministers, those who controlled the people, material resources and money, had long since been ignored by Karl I.

The Battle of the Gulf of Aden was defeated, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which had run out of oil, had no hope left. However, Austria-Hungary was good, the Habsburg dynasty collapsed again, and Hungary and Austria also had a place in the European 'planning map' drawn up by the Chinese. The Ottoman battlefield has calmed down, and the Balkan countries, which have long been ruined back to the agrarian era, have no room to cry.

On the Chinese's map of Europe, the entire Balkans are covered in red and green, and there is no need to say which side the two sides represent. The only one in the entire Balkan Union that still explicitly retains its 'independence' is Greece.

Moreover, the territory of Greece is an empty white color that represents neutrality. Just like Switzerland, a small country with a small projectile. Permanent Neutral!

At the same time, Crete was designated as a ******, with a joint administration of China, the Ottomans and Greece, which was tantamount to cutting off the island from Greek territory.

The Greeks shed their blood in this war. Now it is about to be cut off from Crete and made a permanent neutral state. The country's armed forces have been restricted, although it has maintained its independence. The loss is not small at all.

Judging from the map of Europe drawn by the Chinese, they are killers of the Balkans and Austria-Hungary, but they have not used much of the traditional European powers such as Italy, France, Britain and Germany. This is also the biggest reason why Berlin still has hope for East Prussia - the Chinese did not use knives on the map of Germany, and the action of cooking Russia will not necessarily be recognized by the Chinese.

After communicating with Cao Rulin in the past few days, Max can be even more convinced of this - because the Chinese do not want to continue the war.

They have enough loot, and the Chinese hope to put down this war as soon as possible, and even do not hesitate to 'leak' their 'Moran' about African things for this reason. They are trying to preserve the interests of Britain, France, Germany, and Italy as much as possible, according to Max.

With such a mentality, it is very unlikely that China will support Russia to swallow East Prussia. I want to put an end to the war as soon as possible. It was necessary to make some necessary pacification of the German Empire - Germany had already made it clear that it would rather admit defeat and pay huge war reparations than preserve the integrity of its homeland.

Russia was only marginally better off in light industry and food shortages than the Moscow government, and was not really self-sufficient, importing a considerable part of its light industry products from Sweden, Norway and Denmark before the war, and then from Germany. In addition to imports from Ukraine, a large number of food shortages are also purchased from the Netherlands.

Cooking Russia is like poor party Russia, with the big tree of China behind it. Every year, a large number of light industrial products and grain are transported from the 'Greater China Economic Circle' to St. Petersburg, but due to geographical factors, it is impossible for Russia to fully integrate into China's great northwest economic and trade circle like the poor Russia, and because of historical reasons, it is impossible for them to completely join China like Moscow. The big tree behind them is China, but it is Europe that fans them blow the wind, and Britain, France, Germany and other countries have always wanted to draw Russia into their circle. The government of St. Petersburg is clear-headed. didn't really fall into this trap, and even they took the initiative to provoke the Northern War.

Russia is now completely tied to the battlefield in China. Before that, they were holding China's hand on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were slowly strengthening their economic and trade exchanges with Europe.

After this war. What China wants is nothing more than a peaceful environment where it can safely digest all the spoils of war, and it is predictable that the Chinese will not want to fight in 5 to 10 years. Then the contradiction between Russia and Germany over the land dispute is obviously an uncertain factor.

Berlin has made a decision on this, even if this meeting cannot accurately take back East Prussia, Max must try his best to win the favor of China, and win China's 'neutrality' for the German-Russian war that will break out in a few years!

The four-party talks on the shores of the Baltic Sea went on for a whole week, and Cao Rulin sent the news back to Beijing in a telegram every day. After the Battle of the Gulf of Aden, because the Grand Fleet seized the entrance to the canal first, a large number of ships of the combined navy of the three countries retreated to the port of Aden, and the old emperor no longer cared about military affairs. Later on, the situation changed and Liu Xian knew that the war was over. After the great victory in the naval battle he had envisioned, there was no need for another great victory on land.

So the old emperor left the warship and stayed in the governor's palace in the port of Djibouti, and raised it with peace of mind. After the overall situation is decided, go to Istanbul, and then take the train all the way through Persia, Central Asia, the Great Northwest and other places, and return to Beijing. Then you don't have to care about current affairs at all.

Liu Xian was now lying on the big bed in the Governor's Palace, and he felt sore all over his body. People are just old, and as soon as the strength in their hearts is gone, their bodies will be exaggerated, and they can't stand it in their bones.

The old emperor, who was in high spirits on the warship, had only arrived at the governor's palace for two days, and he was gone. The imperial doctor diagnosed that his body was weak and boneless, and it was fine, but it also scared everyone. The old emperor really has to have a good time at this time, and the future of everyone in the Grand Fleet will be clouded.

In the city of Beijing.

A group of bigwigs from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are gathering together at the moment, and Minister Tang Shaoyi looked at the telegram sent back by Cao Rulin and sighed with emotion, "The emperor is still wise." Seeing thousands of miles, it was expected that St. Petersburg would be dizzy. Will be reluctant to let go of East Prussia. ”

Tang Shaoyi's face was full of relaxed expressions when he spoke, and the group of foreign ministry bigwigs around him were also relaxed. It seems that St. Petersburg is not at all worried about the rivalry with Berlin. In fact, they really don't have it.

East and West Russia is China's killer weapon to suppress Europe. And in the end, Moscow is far more important than St. Petersburg.

Because the St. Petersburg government is supported by China in order to contain Moscow, the only role of cooking Russia is to prevent the Moscow government from becoming a smaller Soviet Union. China's support for Moscow and the poor party is only to contain the power of Europe, but it is not to raise itself to eat itself.

Wouldn't it be clear which is more important?

Russia is a place of fetters for China because of geography and history. St. Petersburg can easily return to the Western world without China, and this environment limits it from being completely trusted by China. It itself will not trust the Chinese government wholeheartedly.

Liu Xian had inferred when he was drawing up the 'map' of Europe, which is no different from the current situation.

Liu Xian had no intention of suppressing St. Petersburg at all in order to protect the interests of the Germans, and if he wanted to get back his rights and interests, he would exchange his life for it. The contradiction between the Germans and the St. Petersburg government can be said to be a big stick used by China to beat the St. Petersburg government. In the years after the war, Moscow's influence grew dramatically, and St. Petersburg's influence was not bad, coupled with the collapse of Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries. East and West Russia can also be regarded as first-class powers in Europe. Who can guarantee that the people of St. Petersburg will not inflate themselves? They took back Belarus, they took back the three Baltic states, and to a certain extent, they took back half of Poland, to the Czech Republic. Liu Xian didn't think that the people of St. Petersburg would obediently listen to Beijing. After a few years of peace, the wounds of the war have receded, and who can guarantee that the people of St. Petersburg, who had eaten a big meal during the war, would not have thoughts about Finland? Wouldn't you want to expand your 'influence' in Scandinavia?

At that time. The Germans are the big stick that Beijing uses to beat St. Petersburg. And the Czechs, East Prussia, were the spoils and rewards that the Germans were going to receive.

-- No one believed that Germany was going head-to-head with St. Petersburg. The loser will be Berlin.

Don't look at the fact that now Germany is at a disadvantage, facing the attack of St. Petersburg in Western Poland. Tired of parrying, it is difficult to even fight back. But if you go it alone, there will be no more cover for the Chinese Air Force overhead, and the Germans will definitely teach St. Petersburg to be a man again.

"All calculations are in the hands of the emperor!" Tang Shaoyi sighed in her heart.

At the same time, in the Imperial Palace, Liu Sheng, the current emperor of China, was telling his son who was sitting next to him about the incident. Finally, he said: "This is not some 'magic trick'. There may be such a character under the sky, but he is not your grandfather. Your grandfather never thought he had a smart mind or a good grasp of the general situation in the world.

China has come to this day, and everything depends on swords and wars. Dominate the world with martial arts, this is what your grandfather is good at. ”

"The affair between St. Petersburg and the Germans is, from our point of view, wonderful. But your grandfather is different, your grandfather can't trust foreigners at all. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are all vain. Even in Japan, didn't your grandfather also crack down and rub it for decades? Your grandfather inferred from St. Petersburg with malicious inference, and everything is simple and straightforward. ”

What kind of father you have, you may not have what kind of son, but if you teach this father with your heart, father and son can always be three or five points alike! Liu Sheng is the best example of this, who is superficially sanctimonious, but behind the scenes, he scorns 'benevolence, righteousness and morality', and firmly believes in the supremacy of force. At the same time, we can also clearly understand what force is!

China's real military force is definitely not just the military. Everyone who is good at understanding this kind of understanding must know what a total war is!

All aspects of state and social life are thrown into the war with all their might, everything is in the service of the war, and in the course of the war all forces are used to wage war by all means, even by extremely barbaric means.

All the industrial, agricultural, and human forces of the country, and all the economic systems of the country were dumped on the war. In a state of war, the wartime government has full control and intervention in the national economic system and operating mechanism, economic sectors, economic policies and economic activities.

This is the general war, and this is the 'armed forces' of Great China!

At this moment, the night in Beijing is dark, but the city is brightly lit, like a place that never sleeps.

China has won, once again won the national war, and this time China has completely stood at the top of the world. Looking back 80 or 90 years ago, when the former Qing Dynasty was in the nest and waste wood, who would have thought that today's China has stood at the top of the world?

Eighty years ago, the British Empire at its height could not compete with the great Qin China of today, a vast country from the Han and Tang dynasties.

Needless to say, although the issuance of national bonds has been suspended, just like the debt boom in the past, now the government uses the entire land of Australia to offset the debt, and immediately raises the value of the national bonds by three points again.

In addition, the oil industry has seen a rise in stocks, especially the Kuwait Development Corporation, whose stock value is simply off the charts, and now there is rumor circulating that the state is preparing to issue additional shares of the Kuwait Development Corporation for the second time. There are also rumors that the Kuwait Development Corporation will take over the Arabian Peninsula in its entirety, adding fuel to its booming stock price.

Financial prosperity is economic prosperity, and economic prosperity is the prosperity of the people. Chinese people have money in their pockets, and no one knows how many Chinese dollar bills the country has printed in recent years, but who cares about this?

China's huge size supported the various materials needed for the war, of which few were directly supplied to the army, and many of them needed to be processed and further processed. But China's economy has not been in turmoil, because the vast territory of 'Greater China' can produce all the raw materials it needs.

Through the relatively safe Pacific Ocean, a large amount of materials and raw materials such as Central America and Mexico are continuously transported to China, even in South America, and the South China Sea, which is close at hand, does not need to be said.

China's Chinese yuan has at least tripled in circulation during the war, and large denominations have appeared, from the initial maximum value of 100 yuan, first to 500 denominations, and then 1,000 denominations. Who made Huayuan worthless.

All entertainment venues have become venues for Chinese people to express their happiness, the women's branch of the restaurant is all night long, the theater and the cinema are all night long, especially when it comes to showing war documentaries, the donation boxes of the China Army Support Association and the China Disabled Veterans Association standing next to it can always be filled quickly.

There are also fireworks, and from time to time there will be a large piece of fiery red cannon paper in the streets and alleys. In the dark night, beautiful fireworks bloom until dawn...... (To be continued.) )
