As soon as Lin Youde put away his smile, Viola asked, "You tell me the truth, do you think we will fail?" ”

"Anyway," Lin Youde paused, "it would be a lie to say that I wasn't worried about this at all, but I think the current situation is actually quite good for us." We have absolute financial and economic superiority, and I think that as long as we are evenly matched militarily with the imperial government, we will have a great chance of winning. ”

"Is it okay as long as there is a balance of power?"

"Yes, as long as there is a balance of power, it will be fine, and the war will be extended." Lin Youde took out a table from the table with his empty left hand, "You see, this is the statistical table I made, and based on the data on this table, the imperial government can only maintain the war until next spring at most." ”

"Even with British financial support?"

"Yes, even with low-interest loans from the UK, they will only be able to sustain themselves until next spring."

"The pull of munitions production on the economy is also taken into account?"

"It is true that government military purchases can profit some factories and capitalists, but the economy as a whole will still be in recession – especially now that the economy is already in recession."

Lin Youde put down the information with his left hand, and gently stroked Viola's thigh with his right hand - the texture of these stockings is awesome.

"Because of this, the Imperial government will soon find that the false recovery from munitions production will not help their revenues at all, their finances will collapse completely, and we will win the war."

"So we just have to go on the defensive, right?" Viola turned her head slightly and looked at Lin Youde.

"Yes. As long as we survive this winter, things will turn around. In addition, defense is more advantageous for republics whose military strength is weaker than that of the imperial government. ”

Lin Youde saw Viola biting her lip, the girl turned her head back to the front, the muscles of her upper body loosened, and the whole person leaned on Lin Youde, her thin back was attached to Lin Youde's abdomen and chest, and the blonde hair also took the opportunity to leak a lot into Lin Youde's collar. Lin Youde's chin could already touch the top of Viola's head, and the girl probably used oil such as Dharma Protector Essence to protect her hair, and at this time, the faint fragrance penetrated Lin Youde's nostrils, making him feel a strong urge to bury his nose in the girl's hair.

Lin Youde struggled for a while, and finally decided to give up - anyway, in this atmosphere, Viola would probably not refuse, and his Lin Youde's groping pig hand is still on the thigh of the girl.

Just before Lin Youde was about to indulge ****, Viola's voice drilled into his ears and brought his consciousness back to the current topic: "But everyone at the military meeting is inclined to attack, but they can't agree on the direction of attack and the troops who will be the main attacker. They all thought that it would be bad for us to drag it out, on the grounds that the Imperial Government could buy replacement parts for the Magic Armor from the Great Powers, and we would have to produce them ourselves. ”

"Listen to their nonsense," Lin Youde pursed his lips contemptuously, "The empire is almost too poor to wear pants, what can I use to buy accessories?" ”

"Britain and France may allow them to pay after the war. There have been precedents for this before. ”

"Britain and France themselves are in deep depression, Britain is barely able to come up with low-interest loans, France is now worse off than England, and they themselves have to deal with strikes and revolutions at home......"

Although Viola was silent for the time being, Lin Youde knew that she had not been convinced yet - based on the experience of getting along with her in the past few months, she would definitely make it clear after accepting Lin Youde's statement.

So Lin Youde continued: "The current situation is that the imperial government with limited funds is anxious to fight a decisive battle with us, even if we don't attack the enemy, we can't wait to attack it, there is an idiom in China called "Waiting for work", the original source is the ancient Chinese military book "The Art of War", which says that it will have a great advantage to use the troops who are fully rested, physically and energetic to meet the troops who are physically and mentally exhausted from afar. ”

"But what if the attacking enemy occupies a critical area? We only have a small part of the Ruhr now, and if this part is also taken, even if we inflict a lot of damage on the enemy, we will be in trouble......"

"The way to avoid this is simple, and that is to defeat the enemy in a defensive battle, which is much simpler than defeating the enemy in an offensive battle."

Viola was silent again.

Lin Youde wanted to take this opportunity to try to persuade again, but he finally gave up this plan and turned his attention to the beautiful thing of eating girl's tofu.

This is not because he is a pervert, but because after the past few months of understanding, he is very aware of the influence of the "offensive theory" in this world.

In Lin Youde's original world, the theory of offensive almost dominated the world of military theory before World War I, and the idea of this theory was actually very simple: only offense can win a war, and defense is only a slow death, so the army should actively attack in any situation, and no matter what costs. And the French took this theory to the extreme, so that the performance of the French army before and in the middle of World War I can be described as "foolish and brave".

But as the war progressed, more and more senior generals realized that the offensive theory was not as effective as the legend had been, and that in many cases it did not make sense except to increase casualties sharply.

It turned out that the European battlefield of World War I was not so much a victory by offensive as a drag of the Allied forces to death after the Allied army held to the maximum.

So the offensive theory also went bankrupt and gave way to a more scientific military theory.

And in the world world here, the First World War was not as terrible as the original world world, and in the end, Germany would lose because the combat effectiveness of the war queen and the god queen was weakened too much, and in the end it was unable to organize the breakthrough of the Entente on the battlefield.

Therefore, the battle in the world world here was ended by an offensive.

The theory of offensive still dominates the system of military doctrine.

Therefore, Lin Youde fully understood the thoughts of those Wehrmacht generals.

Viola has received a military education since she was a child, and she must have been seriously influenced by offensive theory, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to change her thinking all at once.

What's more, Lin Youde is not sure that the attack will definitely fail, and he is not a military strategist, so he has played some real-time strategy games. In economic matters, he is still a professional - although he is a monk halfway, a professional class is a professional class; This military, he is completely enthusiastic.

It is precisely because of this self-knowledge that Lin Youde has not shown the slightest interest in military affairs in the past few months.

Of course, Lin Youde is not completely devoid of the idea of intervening in the military, after all, he is a military fan, of course, he wants to personally command thousands of troops and horses, but the Germans are now particularly concerned about the expansion of Lin Youde's influence, especially in the military aspect, and Lin Youde is really not easy to interject - so he simply does not interject.

Lin Youde's idea is very simple: Of course, if you win, it's good, if you lose, I'll find an opportunity to interject, and if it doesn't work in the future, I won't have to take the blame alone, and I can even blame you for all the mistakes, why not.

So at this moment, when Viola was silent, Lin Youde was busy burying his nose in her hair, letting the fragrance of hair fill his nose.

He didn't know that Viola's face was flushed at this point, and he didn't notice that the girl's hand on the table was trembling slightly—if he had noticed this kind of detail, he wouldn't have lost the opportunity to end his single on the day the debate team broke up.

That's right, Viola's silence at this time is not entirely because she can't accept Lin Youde's statement, and Lin Youde's increasingly excessive behavior of taking advantage also has a credit.

The girl's face was getting redder, and she seemed to be trying to turn her attention to the file in front of her, but it was clearly not very good.

Finally, Viola couldn't hold it anymore, she straightened her upper body, and pulled away her hair from Lin Youde, then she cleared her throat and took a deep breath before saying, "I can't accept your point of view now, it's ...... Sounds reasonable, but ......"

Viola frowned at this, as if she was thinking about how to express it.

At this time, Lin Youde said: "It doesn't conform to the offensive theory, right? 'How can you win without attacking?' ”

"Uh...... Uh-huh, that's pretty much it. Throughout the history of [this] world, there has never been an example of victory by defense, and all defense is nothing more than a delaying action before the attack is ready—at least that's what my military mentor, Mr. Fakingham, taught me. ”

Lin Youde couldn't help but smack his lips, Fa Jinhan? The Falkingham who intended to "occupy a point that the French must recapture, force the French to attack, and then empty the blood of the French with artillery fire"? It seems that the influence of the offensive idea here is much greater than that of the original world, is this also caused by the god queen......

Just when Lin Youde sighed about this, Viola continued: "I, I'm not saying that your point of view is wrong, I really think a lot of things make sense, I also agree that defense is simpler than offense, I just can't believe that defense alone can win......"

"It's okay, that's all you've been doing since elementary school." Lin Youde said to Viola in the gentlest voice possible, "Just do what you want, I will provide you with sufficient military funds and soldiers, and provide you with the best support." ”

“…… Well, thank you. ”

Lin Youde wanted to say, "Just use your body to thank me for my loyalty", but in the end he held back.

However, Viola relaxed her body again and leaned on Lin Youde, and her good-smelling hair returned to the front of Lin Youde's nose.

Lin Youde complained that he was "really a ****" while burying the tip of his nose in his hair again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Youde and Viola subconsciously responded at the same time: "Come in." ”

Then the two of them realized together that this time it was over.

The gate opened with a brush, and the generals in uniform poured in.

"We want to see the Speaker! What's the deal with the suspension of a meeting...... Oh, my God. The old general's eyes widened and he looked at Lin Youde and Viola behind the table.
