Chapter 536, Test
In Japan's military culture, sneak attacks occupy a very important place. This is also related to Japan's long history of warfare in ancient times. In ancient times, tiny Japan could be divided into dozens or hundreds of various daimyo and then fought, and the scale was actually similar to a village brawl, and in a war of this magnitude (I don't really want to use this word), a successful sneak attack could often determine the overall situation. Therefore, although it is an undeclared war, a sneak attack or something, saying it, it will damage the image, and it may cause the effect of image -10 in the world, and on the battlefield, if it is not done well, it will cause the effect of the enemy's anger value + MAX, but in the case that the scale of the war is just a village war, the forces that both sides can put into the battlefield are limited, and the personnel are generally only three digits, and there are four digits in the sky, and there is no reserve force, a successful sneak attack can directly clear the opponent's blood bar. In this way, the punishment of image-10 is considered a hair? Anyway, if you win the war, you will naturally have a prestige +50 reward, image or something, drizzle. As for the enemy's rage value + MAX, the enemy has no health bar, not to mention adding MAX, adding Duobao is useless.
Since the effect of sneak attack is so good, it is naturally a stupid hat not to play sneak attack. As a result, they have been fighting back and forth for hundreds of years, and sneak attacks have become the habit of the daimyos, anyway, everyone fights like this, and those who don't fight like this are all dead. As a result, sneak attacks became a tradition.
So, as soon as the decision to go to war with Russia was made, the Japanese immediately began to prepare for a sneak attack. And this time their opponent, the Russians, was particularly vulnerable to sneak attacks.
Compared with ordinary countries, one of the major characteristics of Russia is its large physique and long blood bar. So, theoretically, at least under the technical conditions at the time, it was impossible for anyone, no matter how easy it was, to wipe out Russia's blood bar with a single sneak attack. Countries with such capabilities will not emerge until at least the nuclear age. And in this era, and even earlier, it is not easy to sneak attack, not even to say directly clear Russia's blood bar, even to make the blood bar appear visible to the naked eye. This way, the increased rage is more valuable than the reduced health bar. Therefore, the Russians naturally regard the sneak attack as cowardly and incompetent, and it is not worth beware of at all.
This is also the general practice of large countries with long blood bars. Therefore, in the Second World War, whether it was the German sneak attack on the Soviets or the Japanese sneak attack on the United States, they were successfully caught off guard. And their sneak attack, in fact, is not completely without warning, both the Soviet Union and the United States have received relevant information, but these things are habitually ignored by the blood cow country.
And now in the Far East, Russia is not a terrible blood cow, because his veins to the Far East are too slender. Therefore, once the Russian army in the Far East has lost a lot of blood, it will be very difficult to replenish it. So in the Far East, the Russians have a rather short blood bar. However, the Russians in the Far East have become accustomed to the long blood bar of Russia, so they really did not take serious precautions in the face of a possible attack.
As a result, naturally, just like in the original history, the brightly lit and unsuspecting Port Arthur was attacked by Japanese fish. Thunder. The three most important battleships were severely damaged by the night attack of the boats - the Russian detachment at Arthur was incapacitated at the very beginning of the war.
……
"Dad, as you and Donald expected, the Japanese really adopted the sneak attack. As far as our people know, the Russian fleet in Arthur has already suffered heavy losses and, I am afraid, no longer combat-ready. At the same time, because the Russians still had a limited amount of time to operate Arthur, Arthur did not have good enough facilities to repair these ships, and it is estimated that these warships may not be able to be repaired until the end of the war. And the Vladivostok detachment of the Russians was much smaller in size than the Japanese fleet. It is simply not enough to confront the Japanese fleet, so at present, at least the control of the sea is completely in the hands of the Japanese. "Greystone is reporting to Scrooge.
"Well, what are you going to do next?" Scrooge asked.
"Dad, thanks to the victory of the Japanese, the credibility of Japanese government bonds in the market is now favored. However, we estimate that the Japanese government's previous issuance of government bonds is far from enough, so they will soon sell new government bonds again in the European and American markets. I'm planning to give them a blow when they issue new Treasury bonds, and then force them to rely on us again to issue those Treasury bonds and get more yields. ”
"Greystone, you're right. Work well with Donald, you know, this business isn't really that important, but it's a rare opportunity for you to practice. It won't be long before there may be bigger deals to come. Oh yes, I've heard that you've been courting Donald's girlfriend lately? Scrooge suddenly came up with such a sentence.
"Huh?" Greystone was taken aback, he looked up into Scrooge's eyes, and Scrooge's eyes made him understand that denial was useless. So, he replied honestly:
"Dad, when I first met her, I didn't know she was Donald's girlfriend. I thought it was just a casual ......."
"But then you know." Scrooge's voice was still stern.
"Yes. I later learned that Donald was serious. Gladstone lowered his head, but after a while he raised his head again and said to Scrooge, "But Dad, I was very serious later." ”
Hearing this answer, Scrooge felt that his head was one size bigger.
"Hell yes! How did this shit story come to my house! Scrooge grabbed the inkwell on the table and threw it to death the ignorant fellow.
"Greystone." Scrooge held back his temper and said, "You should know that you are the future heir of the family. And Donald's role in the family is irreplaceable. If both of you are serious, what kind of impact will it have on the family!
Let me tell you, Greystone, this is a test for you and Donald. I'll watch you act. Don't think that if you are my son, you will definitely become the first heir of the family! Okay, you go back and think for yourself! Also, don't let personal matters affect the family business. ”
Greystone stood up, looked at Scrooge, and walked out without saying a word.
Greystone had barely walked out when the door to the other side of the office opened. Dorothea walked in.
"Scrooge, are you putting too much pressure on Greystone?"
"No, I don't think so." Scrooge leaned back into the big sofa with ease, "In fact, if Glestone had made a smart choice, wouldn't his position have been consolidated all at once?" You think, from Donald's side, he also knows very well that unless something big happens, it's unlikely that he's going to take Greystone's place. In fact, judging from the table xiàn some time ago, he has put himself in the position of the auxiliary figure of the number two. If Greystone can still snatch love under such circumstances, I think the contradiction between Donald and Greystone will be very deep. If you don't do it well, you will give others an opportunity to take advantage of it. Conversely, if Greystone had made a reasonable choice, Donald would have felt that Greystone was considering his feelings, and he would have felt sorry for Greystone. In this way, the cooperation between the two people in the future will be more perfect. Now, I'm just going to put a little pressure on this kid to see if he can see the big picture. ”
"Do you need me to talk to him?" Dorothea sat down next to Scrooge, "Well, that girl named Daisy is so cute, I'm afraid he won't be able to turn his head all at once." ”
"Greystone's brain is not a problem. It's not a matter of the brain, either. "If he's willing to look at the big picture, then of course he'll be able to figure it out and know what to do." Hell, I thought he was a playboy like Morgan, but he was going to play for real. ”
"Although Mr. Morgan is a playboy, his feelings for Mrs. Mimi are very sincere." Dorothea said, "So, Mrs. Suiren Mimi was actually very clear about some of his actions, but she still tolerated him. ”
"Dorothea, you should have told me more than twenty years earlier, so that I can let you be more tolerant." Scrooge said with a smile.
"Didn't I tolerate your problems?" Dorothea said, "Don't think I really don't know anything! I think I should talk to Greystone, because a lot of times people get into the horns and can't pull it out. I'll talk to him and he'll understand. ”
Scrooge thought for a moment, remembering what Dorothea said, "Don't think I really don't know anything", he knew that most of the things about himself and Anna were seen by her. I just don't know how much she knows. For example, does Dorothea know about Donald's background? Anna wouldn't have leaked it, even if she had a gun in her head, she wouldn't. Because she knew what kind of blow this secret would bring to Donald once it was revealed. Carol and Catherine probably won't, because it won't do them any good. However, in case, in short, such a thing cannot be risked. If Dorothea really knew, then in order to ensure her son's status, she really dared to make a mess of things at a critical time.
"Well, you can go and persuade him." Scrooge finally said.
