When Charlotte entered the U.S. Navy headquarters on Oahu, she immediately saw Luna stationed on Oahu? Williams's overly healthy skin.

"You're wearing that kind of indecent dress at the headquarters again." Charlotte looked like she couldn't stand it, "Go and put on your military uniform!" ”

"What are you talking about, this is the best outfit for this base," Luna said as she twisted her body to show off her proud figure, "In Hawaii, bikinis are women's formal attire!" And if I wear it like this, the morale of our soldiers will be high, right, guys! ”

There was an immediate burst of cheers in the headquarters, and while the young staff officers were heckling, the older officers were also smiling, it seemed that they were used to such things.

Charlotte could only shake her head and turn the subject to business: "What is the situation at sea?" ”

"It's calm," reported Lieutenant General King, commander of the Oahu base, "and our submarine sentry line and aviation reconnaissance have found no anomalies." ”

"Stay on alert, the fleet is ready to strike at any moment." Charlotte's wheelchair drove directly in front of Lieutenant General Kim, "The only chance for the Japanese is to take the initiative before we can complete the assembly and attack us with the advantage of the god queen." If they do so, it will give us the best opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop and end the war immediately, and we must seize this opportunity. ”

"Anyway, for this reason, you left the president's government affairs and secretly ran to Oahu, Charlotte, sometimes it's really messed up." Luna came over and stood behind Charlotte, "Besides, we already have an equipment advantage, so the Japanese god queen shouldn't be equipped with the magic armor that has been improved by the technique that flowed from Germany, right?" If they really take such a risk, they will see the generation gap between our two countries in terms of magic equipment. ”

"Throughout the ages, overconfident people like you have suffered irreparable failures. Also, don't pull on the back handles of my wheelchair, I hate that. ”

"Ah, sorry, I caught it unconsciously."

After Luna let go of the handle, Charlotte turned to Vice Admiral Kim again: "The assembly of the fleet?" ”

"The first ships of the Atlantic Fleet to pass through the Panama Canal will arrive today, and in two weeks we will complete the assembly."

"Very well, then we will issue the most rebellious ultimatum to the Japanese government in two weeks."

"How are you going to write the ultimatum?" Luna interjected again, "Can't you hand over the body of that poor female pilot and exchange it for the Japanese archipelago?" ”

"It doesn't matter how you write it, it's all about terms that Japan can't accept." Charlotte manipulated the wheelchair to the window of the headquarters, from which she could faintly see the masts in Pearl Harbor, "Now that the arrow is ready to fly, there is no way to stop, Congress has approved the bill to increase military spending, and at the same time, the bill on the issuance of national bonds will also be voted on today, the United States has decided to buy and leave, either win or lose, there is no intermediate option." ”

At the same time, in the newly completed Vale headquarters building in Port Hedland, Lin Guokai was also looking at the huge nautical chart in the navigation management room inside the building.

"So the blue zone is the area where the Japanese are likely to engage in unrestricted submarine warfare?" Lin Guokai asked Vale's chief executive officer of the maritime department, who nodded.

"If we get the right information, this area is the area where the submarines that Japan now have can operate, and once they start unrestricted submarine warfare, all ships in this area will be in danger."

"According to this diagram, we are almost completely cut off from China's domestic sea transportation." Lin Guokai frowned, "This is not easy to do, most of our iron ore is exported to China, once the transportation is blocked, the Chinese companies that order ore from us will not be able to get the goods and not settle the payment, and there will be problems with the return of our funds." ”

With mineral extraction on the right track, coupled with the discovery of new precious metals in the Pilbara region, Vale's capital chain is gradually becoming self-consistent, so Lin Youde's capital injection into Vale has been decreasing in recent times, and now it is basically only used to build infrastructure in a few stronghold cities such as Port Hedland. The outbreak of the US-Japan crisis at this juncture may seriously affect the development speed of this new steel mining trust.

Lin Guokai scratched the back of his head, frowned and complained: "I only sent a telegram to Lao Lin in the middle of the year, saying that Vale will start to make a profit this year and contribute to the boss's career. ”

"There's no way around it," Lin Guokai's American deputy said with a smile, "You see, in the terms of the insurance company, there will always be a clause 'except for damage caused by force majeure such as war', just to deal with this situation." Potsdam, too, will understand. ”

"They understand, that's why I feel unwilling." Lin Guokai sighed.

Yesterday the Port of Hedland received instructions from Potsdam to suspend the transport of migrants by sea to the Pilbara until the end of the war between the United States and Japan, and promised that the German Foreign Exchange and Investment Bank would give Vale a new sum of money to help them survive the war.

In addition, Potsdam also instructed Vale to be prepared for the war, and to seek to intervene in the post-war reconstruction of the Yingzhou Islands as soon as the war is over.

This instruction is expressed in simple and straightforward words: you dig faster for me, dig more.

Lin Guokai thought back to the instructions from Potsdam, and kept his eyes on the charts.

At this time, his deputy said: "To be honest, I was a little surprised that we just stood by and watched. ”

"You think we're going to get headlong into this troubled water?" Lin Guokai asked rhetorically.

"Yes, isn't Miss Shenji, who is next to Mr. Lin, from that string island?"

Lin Guokai smiled when he heard this, and said, "Do you know how my buddy got into that Yingzhou girl?" At that time, the fox woman disguised herself as a man to study in Munich, and Lin Zi pulled a bunch of Yingzhou independence and extinction in front of her, and as a result, she was caught. At that time, all the students in Yingzhou were discouraged, and our students in Mingguo were passionate, and in that situation, she was attracted to the forest, do you think it is possible for her to sympathize with Japan now? ”

The American raised an eyebrow and eventually shrugged his shoulders.

Potsdam, Sanssouci Palace.

The fox lies on the couch in his office, yawning and touching his belly.

"Now, dear," she called to Lin Youde, who was on business at her desk, "I've been feeling that little guy's movements lately!" ”

"Don't make a fuss, it's not been five months yet." Lin Youde replied without raising his head, "How can there be fetal movement." ”

"It's true!" The fox exclaimed, "He kicked me in the stomach last night, and she must have felt it if you asked Viola." ”

"No, I don't feel anything." Viola denied the fox's claims with certainty.

"Eh, why is this happening, obviously little Viola, your belly can already be seen bulging."

"It's just a little bit of a bulge!" Viola didn't know why she suddenly reacted so much, and her face turned red, "It's not particularly obvious." ”

"I didn't say it was particularly obvious." The fox smiled evilly and looked at the red-faced mother-to-be Viola, and her eyes slid up and down near her stomach very explicitly, "It seems that from now on, little Viola can only wear one-piece dresses, and I will see each other again with a beautiful pair." ”

"Woo......"

"You look so beautiful in everything you wear." Lin Youde opened his mouth to comfort his wife at the right time, but when Viola cast a grateful eye at him, he turned the topic to a completely unrelated aspect, "However, I think you should hand over all the government affairs to your deputy." It's hard to sit at a desk with a big belly and read documents, right? ”

"Big, big belly!"

The fox laughed.

Viola then slapped the pen in her hand on the table and stood up with an unhappy expression.

"Hmph, okay, I know! Anyway, I'll just be an expectant mother with peace of mind! After saying that, she picked up the phone on her desk and yelled into the receiver, "Let Green, Gobel, and Hearst come see me this afternoon, and I'm going to take over the job." ”

After yelling, she slapped the receiver on the phone, walked to the sofa angrily, kicked the fox's ass and said, "You go over, I'm going to lie down here." ”

"Oh, don't, Viola, you're so petite, lying on the single sofa over there."

"I won't, move over there!"

Lin Youde glanced up at the wives who started to make trouble, and shook his head slightly. Before looking down and continuing to look at the documents, he glanced at Sissi who was standing on the wall of the room, and the girl completely ignored Lin Youde's gaze, looking up like a statue and looking ahead.

Lin Youde pursed his lips, originally he thought that he had kissed Qianqian, and the relationship between the two should make great strides forward, but he didn't expect the situation to be the opposite.

It's really strange, on the day of the kiss, Sissi and him Lin Youde got along very well, but the next day the girl suddenly became wrong, and she said that she was sick and took a day off.

When she came back from resting, she became what she is now, she simply returned to the pre-liberation period, and all the previous achievements were wasted.

Lin Youde shook his head again, driving away the content that had nothing to do with business in his head.

The thick report that was now spread out in front of him was a summary of the situation sent by the Asian branch, and the pile of documents piled up in front of him was a summary of the reactions of various countries to the so-called Asian crisis (or the US-Japan crisis) compiled by the clerical department.

In fact, Lin Youde really wanted to throw all of these aside, after all, he was already determined to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and no matter what the crisis developed, Lin Youde's response would not change much, and there was no need to stare at these all day long. But he couldn't help but pay attention to what was happening in distant Asia.

It's a contradictory feeling.

Not long after Lin Youde looked down at the documents, the voice of the fox once again entered his ears.

"Now, hasn't the Japanese Navy launched a surprise attack yet?"

"Nope." Lin Youde shook his head, "At least for now, it seems that the Japanese fleet is staying in various ports on Honshu Island to prepare for defensive operations. ”

"Hmm...... It seems that the opinions of my old acquaintances have been ignored. ”

"Are you so sure that Tachibana will take the initiative?" Lin Youde asked rhetorically.

"Of course, I've known her for so long. If she was in charge, the Japanese Navy would have made a desperate bet, and now it seems that she has not been able to get enough power. ”

Lin Youde looked up and saw the fox on the sofa looking at him with meaningful eyes.

"I've really told you that, my dear, Japan has been independent for more than two years, and then it is about to perish, and it is really a short-lived country with no future."
