On the morning of January 1, Lin Youde was sleeping soundly with his daughter in his arms, when someone lifted the quilt.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" While the fox shouted, he held the basin in one hand and a large soup spoon in the other, and the bang was earth-shattering.

Lin Youde opened his eyes and looked at the fox with a confused expression. The first thought that came to his mushy head was: Lao Tzu was finally woken up one day by such a "frozen eel" way, but Lao Tzu was not happy at all, how could he break it......

The fox slapped Lin Youde on the head with the bottom of the pot.

"Hey!" Lin Youde touched the skull that had just been dented.

"I won't hurt you anyway, maybe your head will be clear after repair......"

Before the fox could finish speaking, Nia on the bed shouted, "Mom, get out!" ”

It seems that the little guy is in a state of "waking up" explosion. Normally, at this time, the fox's personality would often exaggerate the feeling of being hurt and then leave in a gloomy manner, but this time she smiled and said to her daughter: "Okay, go immediately." ”

Then the fox dragged Lin Youde's collar and lifted him up, carried him on his body and walked out, Nia shouted "leave Daddy" and also reached out to grab Lin Youde's clothes, she seemed to have not woken up, temporarily forgot that she could fly, so she hung behind the fox's ass and left together.

At this time, the other two adult goddesses on the bed woke up, Viola rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked Sissi, who was facing away from the bed, "What's wrong?" ”

"Chihiro is in, something might be wrong."

Viola sat up on her bed as soon as she heard this, and Sissi continued, "Don't worry, if the Russians attack, she'll blow us all up. ”

Viola tilted her head, then let out a long yawn, leaned back on the bed, rolled over and went back to sleep.

――It looks like the two adult goddesses had a great time last night.

**

Lin Youde, dressed in pajamas (plus Nia hanging from his clothes), is dragged to the office by the fox, and Isabella is already in the office.

Isabella looked at Nia, who was hanging on Lin Youde's clothes and fell asleep again, her eyes widened: "Why is Nia here, didn't she sleep in the room of the two of them with Ysera?" Ah......h

"Don't think about it! She came to get under the covers last night after we all went to sleep. Lin Youde hurriedly corrected his name, otherwise he would really become a ghost father.

Lin Youde turned his head to look at the stove on the wall, and the raging fire suddenly made him feel a lot warmer, so he came to the desk in his pajamas and sat down, put the hanging Nia on his lap, and then turned his head and asked the fox: "What are you doing so early in the morning to go crazy and wake me up, say it." ”

"Zhejiang has revolted." The fox put a telegram in front of Lin Youde, and there was only a short line on the telegram: Revolution broke out.

"How many provinces are participating?" Lin Youde said and looked up at the table clock, and then looked at the fox after confirming the time.

"We have not yet received a complete report, and the submarine cables in the Atlantic Ocean have not been particularly smooth since four o'clock this morning, while the submarine cables in the Indian Ocean are in the hands of enemy countries, and our own cables have been stopped by the British Navy only halfway through." As he spoke, the fox glanced at Isabella.

Isabella looked embarrassed: "I, I've finally stopped them from sinking the cable-laying ship of Vale directly, okay!" I also strictly ordered the British troops in Persia not to cross the Shatt. ”

"Regardless of the navy for the time being, you are just looking for death when you cross the river in the Middle East, right?" Lin Youde complained busily.

Vale's armed forces in the Middle East have more than 200,000 or 300,000 regular troops alone, in addition to the million-strong army of the Production and Construction Corps, and they are equipped with everything from airplanes to chariots, as well as Jewish warriors and magic armor, as if they are already a hegemon in the Middle East, and the Arabs in Iraq have been beaten to the point that they dare not cross the middle line between the Nefd Desert and the Ruphali Desert. The British army in Persia, even with the troops of the Persian Emperor, is not comparable at all.

If it weren't for the deterrence of the British Asian fleet, Lin Youde would have ordered Vale to cross the Shatt al-Arab and occupy the future Iran until the Afghan border, known as the "graveyard of empires", to stop. Now Lin Youde has no navy in Asia and the Indian Ocean, which is why Vale continues to be a harmless little white rabbit for humans and animals.

The Chinese's talent for farming is vividly reflected in the Middle East, which has only been colonized for a few years, and both sides of the two rivers are full of green fields, and the Chinese not only brought drought-tolerant crops to life, but also excavated all the local jujube and other products, and planted them on a large scale. Coupled with the fishing industry in the Persian Gulf, Vale's analysts found that there was still a surplus of grain in the Middle East at the end of 1937.

Some old farmers in the Production and Construction Corps still wondered: Why didn't those "Alabao people" plant such a good land?

After discovering that there was a surplus of agricultural capacity, Vale began to expand its colonization, recruiting young and middle-aged laborers to strengthen the production and construction corps, and relocating many families from the five central and southern provinces from the whole family. By the time of the war in Europe, the Chinese had an absolute advantage in the entire two river basins, and along the two river systems known as the Little Yellow River and the Little Yangtze River, the Chinese towns were strung together like pearls.

Lin Youde was originally worried about whether the colonization of the Middle East could be carried out, after all, in his memory, Iraq in another time and space did not achieve food self-sufficiency until the Iran-Iraq war, and the reality was much beyond Lin Youde's expectations.

Later, Lin Youde thought about it carefully and felt that it was right, ancient Babylon was born here, although the earth's climate has changed a lot over the past thousands of years, but it is unlikely that the fertile land that once gave birth to an ancient civilization will become a barren land completely. Moreover, the two rivers that gave birth to Babylon are still there, and they still flood once a year, bringing fertile silt, so the agricultural productivity of this place should not be too bad. It's just that the Arabs who occupy this area are nomadic peoples, have no agricultural traditions, and do not know how to cultivate intensively.

Anyway, under Lin Youde's planning, the Chinese colonizers gained a foothold in the Middle East and took the territory of ancient Babylon, which can be said to be the most suitable land for cultivation in the entire Arabian Peninsula, and in the future, relying on this, they will take the oil fields that should have belonged to Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and the Chinese will grasp one of the lifelines of the world in the future.

As for the Arabs, let them fend for themselves in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula, anyway, they have no oil, and it is impossible to throw dollars at the desert and forcibly reclaim farmland like Saudi Arabia in another time and space. Without agriculture, there will be no population, without population, there will be no labor force, there will be no industry, and even if there is high and new technology, it will not be able to transform it into combat effectiveness. The Arabs of the basic Arabian Peninsula are already harmless.

Lin Youde's hand can be said to have dealt a heavy blow to the green religion in this world, and then if Turkey follows the pan-humanism and cripples Persia, the green religion will become history in this world. There is a little remnant left, let the Jews entangle with them, without the support of the big oil dogs, the Arabs will probably not be able to do the little bully of the Middle East.

And the survival of Vale and the Middle East Production and Construction Corps also gives Lin Youde a way out in the future. Germany can't beat in Europe, Lin Youde can retreat to the Middle East with his wives, and then become an oil bully to make dollars and explode technology, how good.

Of course, now, Lin Youde still wants to survive in Europe as much as possible.

Lin Youde returned from the Middle East fugue and found that his two wives were looking at him, as if waiting for him to make a statement.

"Uh, what did you just say?"

"Why do you always like to get distracted when you're talking about business?" Isabella asked Lin You with a frown.

Lin Youde shrugged: "I like divergent thinking, and you don't know." ”

The fox patted Isabella on the shoulder: "You think, if this is a novel, this paragraph must be interspersed with the situation in the Middle East, and the plot needs it." ”

Lin Youde noticed that Isabella's expression was very subtle when she was patted on the shoulder by the fox, and there was a slight flush on her cheeks, it seems that Her Majesty the Queen also had a wonderful experience last night - with the fox.

It's good to have a little lace in your harem - Lin Youde couldn't help but think.

Isabella stomped back, turned her head to look at Lin Youde and said, "Don't worry about the situation in the Middle East, anyway, no one in the world would want to provoke this mercenary army that has been overstaffed by Vale." Let's pay attention to the situation in China, because of the problem of telegraph cables, we cannot grasp the complete situation, and this short telegram was sent to us many times. ”

Lin Youde nodded, and turned his gaze to the fox: "Even if the telegram doesn't work, you should have some information there, right?" ”

"My intelligence analyst has been busy since after midnight yesterday, and they have compiled and sorted out the information obtained in the last month, and have made a summary of the information obtained in the previous months, according to their report, the provinces south of the Yangtze River have basically confirmed that they support the republic, and only Guizhou and Yunnan are still vacillating. Yunnan is because the local guards are still loyal to the Ming court, while the local modernization process in Guizhou is insufficient, and the conservative forces are still very strong. ”

Lin Youde leaned back in his chair, looked at the world map on the wall, tapped the table with one hand, and stroked Nia's hair with the other like a cat sleeping on her lap.

After being silent for a while, Lin Youde said, "For the time being, let's wait for further information." In Australia, Lin Guokai will move with the camera, and I don't think I need to worry too much about the situation in China. We should pay attention to the international situation, especially the views of American imperialism and Russia on the revolution of the Ming Empire. ”

"If Mr. Wu really puts forward the idea of anti-imperialism and anti-feudalism," the fox clasped his hands to his chest, "I don't think Russia and the United States will stand idly by, after all, whether it is Yingzhou or the Northeast, they were all once the territory of the Ming Empire." They will do their best to support the Ming Court in suppressing the revolution. ”
