Chapter 417: Boston's Intent
Le Cheng paused for a moment and said: "If we can facilitate the Boston Empire to join us, it will greatly speed up the process of the war, and this world war will be quickly decided." Fang Xiaoyu didn't speak, but stood up and walked around the room twice.
Le Cheng said: "Is there anything embarrassing for the young master?" Isn't it good that the Boston Empire joins us? ”
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's naturally a good thing to have a strong ally join, the war will definitely end soon, but things won't be easy to do after it's over." ”
"Why? Was there any difficulty after the war? Le Cheng was a little puzzled.
Fang Xiaoyu smiled, it was very normal for Le Cheng not to see the consequences, if he didn't have the historical knowledge of his previous life, he wouldn't have thought of the possible consequences, if the Boston Empire joined, the Chinese Empire and the Boston Empire would be like the United States and the Soviet Union during World War II on Earth, they could work together during wartime, and they would oppose each other when the war ended.
Fang Xiaoyu was very clear about the relationship between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II, after all, he had also read a lot of books on this aspect. Churchill's famous Iron Curtain speech and the decades-long Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union are the best examples.
Although it is more like the United States, which is economically and technologically powerful, in terms of national strength, the Boston Empire also has its advantages, first of all, their industrial system is also very strong, regardless of whether it is advanced in science and technology or not, the total amount of industry alone is even higher than that of the Chinese Empire; Secondly, the Boston Empire was a Caucasian country, especially in many Western Continent countries that were full of Caucasian supremacy, and the Boston Empire had a natural advantage in diplomacy.
Now those countries are very friendly with the Chinese Empire on the surface, but that is because of the strong strength of the Chinese Empire, in fact, they will not sincerely cooperate with the yellow race, and once the Chinese Empire and the Boston Empire have a stalemate in the Cold War, they will definitely choose the Boston Empire of the white race.
With so much consideration, Fang Xiaoyu was naturally very hesitant, and he said in a low voice: "Originally, I wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out all the white countries and let them all enter a period of decline, so that we can rise calmly." But after the battle of the Cossack Empire, my thoughts were somewhat shaken. ”
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the whole map of the world on the wall and pointed: "Look at the current world pattern, all the powerful countries are basically white countries, they have been strong for a hundred years, it is inevitable that they are a little arrogant, in their eyes, only white people are the most noble, and other colored people are lowly existences." ”
Le Cheng nodded: "I have encountered many similar incidents in the Boston Empire, many white people take pleasure in oppressing people of color, even officials like me have many people who will be hostile, this issue really needs to be considered." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said again: "If we take this opportunity to defeat all the powerful countries, so that even if the white countries unite after the war, I will not be afraid, whether it is economically or militarily, we can have an advantage." But if the Boston Empire had not suffered heavy losses in the war, we would have been in great trouble. Now it seems that the Chinese Empire has become the world's largest industrial power, in fact, a large part of our output value is realized through the added value generated by high technology, our work efficiency is higher, the machinery is more advanced, if we are only compared to the scale of production we are still a considerable distance from the Boston Empire. ”
Le Cheng smiled: "It is really impressive that the young master still has such a sober mind at such a glorious moment of the empire. ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "You don't have to pat me on the back, I know how many catties I have, and now I'm worried about this matter." ”
Le Cheng stood up and waved his hand and said: "What's the trouble about this, if the young master plans to wipe them out, I will go back and tell the royal family Washington III, just say that the Chinese Empire is bent on defeating the Boston Empire." ”
Fang Xiaoyu shook his head with a smile and said, "If only things were that simple. The Boston Empire's strong production capacity, I don't say that you know very well, if you combine the technology of the Entente with the industrial production capacity of the Boston Empire, you will find a very terrible qualitative change. ”
Fang Xiaoyu paused and said: "I think you also know about the big air battle in the El Alamein area a few months ago, our two hundred and forty fighters against the five hundred fighters of the Entente countries, yes, we are victorious, but we must also see that although the production capacity of the Chinese Empire is not weaker than that of any country, but when we face many countries, we show a disadvantage, that victory is of course the performance of the Entente aircraft, but if there are enough of them, we will also lose." We can win with 500 planes on the other side, but 5,000? 50,000? Can we win too? “
Le Cheng gasped and said: "If the Boston Empire gets the technology of the Thar Empire and produces camel fighters in large quantities, it may really reach a terrifying scale in a short period of time, according to the information I collected in the Boston Empire, if they transfer all the factories to the wartime economy and produce those best biplanes at full power, I am afraid that there will be an output of 40,000 units a year." “
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "This is what I am most afraid of, quantitative changes produce qualitative changes, you see that in the Far Eastern battlefield, although we have air superiority and advanced weapons, but in front of an enemy four times our size, we still paid the price of more than 150,000 deaths to win with difficulty." ”
Fang Xiaoyu sighed and said: "Le Cheng, our economic strength is indeed strong, and our population is indeed large, but it is impossible for us to fight the whole world with the strength of one country, at least for the time being. ”
Le Cheng nodded: "This is indeed a dilemma, what does the young master think should I do?" ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Originally, if the Boston Empire didn't send you, I would have won this battle even if I had a hard head, and the Boston Empire would have been defeated, but if we won like that, it would only be a miserable victory, and we would also need a long time to recuperate and restore our national strength, so I decided to promise the Boston people, and we agreed to the Boston Empire to join." ”
Le Cheng stood up and said, "However, young master, if they are allowed to join, they will not be able to achieve the goal of weakening the Boston Empire, and they will even be allowed to get a piece of the pie after the war, which will strengthen the strength of the Boston Empire." ”
Fang Xiaoyu nodded: "I have figured it out, defeating the opponent does not have to be on the battlefield, I can also defeat them economically, financially, and politically." ”
Le Cheng nodded and said, "Since the young master has made a decision, I will go back and inform the government, hoping that the young master will prepare early." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Preparation is a must, but you don't have to rush back, play here for a few more days." You haven't been back to China for many years, and if you look at the changes in the country, compared to when you left, the gap is a lot. ”
Le Cheng shook his head: "I'd better go back quickly, maybe one day, I'll come back when I'm tired outside, and I hope the young master will take it in when the time comes." ”
Seeing that Le Cheng insisted on leaving, Fang Xiaoyu didn't hold back too much, he stepped forward and patted Le Cheng's arm and said, "Le Cheng, my good brother, I will always have your place here, as long as you are willing to come back, I welcome you at any time." You're too dangerous in the Boston Empire, so take care of yourself and don't be in danger. ”
Le Cheng nodded: "I will definitely be careful." ”
After Le Cheng left, Fang Xiaoyu immediately convened a military meeting with the officers of the Joint Command. Fang Xiaoyu sat on the main seat, looking at the senior officials of all parties who walked into the conference room one after another, these people were all sitting on chairs and whispering to each other after the other party Xiaoyu saluted.
Meetings of this magnitude are only held when there is a major policy shift or an emergency, and it is only the second time since the start of the war, and everyone does not know what is going on, so it is natural to ask each other, but no one knows.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Fang Xiaoyu stood up and said, "Since all the senior generals of the three armies are here, let's have a meeting, this time there is a very big matter that needs to be reported to everyone." ”
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Fang Xiaoyu said solemnly word by word: "The Boston Empire has sent envoys to see me, and they want to join our side and declare war on the Entente. ”
As soon as Fang Xiaoyu's words fell, the sound of conversation in the conference room rang out, Fang Xiaoyu patted the table with his hand and said, "Why do you guys forget about military discipline when you become officials, if you have anything to say, stand up and say it, don't mutter in private." ”
Liu Junguo was the first to stand up: "Young Master, since the Boston Empire has joined our side, the Eastern Ocean Fleet should be able to attack the Storm Ocean." ”
Zhang Haiyang stood up and objected: "No, who knows if the Boston Empire is a trick to lure us to let our guard down, what if they turn their backs and attack us?" ”
Al clasped his hands in front of his chest and said with a contemptuous expression: "With our air force, no matter how many warships come from the Boston Empire, they will die." ”
Fang Xiaoyu patted the table and said: "Okay, there is no need to talk about the truth of this matter, let's treat him as true, I want to hear your opinions, is there any good way." ”
Pushing his chin, Thobull pondered, "If the Boston Empire does join our side, we'll have to reconsider our strategy. ”
He looked at Fang Xiaoyu who was looking at him with encouraging eyes, and Thwell continued: "If the Boston Empire joins us, the defeat of the Entente side is a foregone conclusion, what we have to consider is the post-war form, the current form is very favorable to us, we occupy an ideal geographical location, the only thing to pay attention to is to occupy as many colonies in the southern subcontinent as possible, especially the coastal areas of the Southern Ocean." There is also the attraction of the Empire of Iraq, except for these two aspects, we don't have to meddle in the war on the Western Continent, just let the Bostonians fill it in, and they will definitely have conflicts with the Allies after a long time. ”
