The day after Lin Youde agreed to Lavinia's request for a state visit, Romania launched an attack on Bulgaria.

Bulgaria was originally a member of the Pan-Slavic League, so it also declared war on the Human Innovation Alliance with Russia, and when Romania fell to the Human Innovation Alliance, Bulgaria did not make the same choice, after all, Russia has been Bulgaria's big brother for so many years, and it is normal for Bulgarians to not be able to turn around for a while.

Romania was probably also afraid that the Russians would suddenly push back, so they did not move, and Shenji did not visit Germany, let alone directly participate in the war.

Now Romania sees that Russia has lost so much land and mines, and thinks that Russia will probably not be able to turn over, and its courage has become fat.

Bulgaria has no gods, and there are not many warriors - because most of them either go to the former suzerain, the Ottoman Empire, or to the current suzerain, Russia, and Bulgaria itself has no warrior power, only Russian warriors stationed in Bulgaria. And these Russian warriors were evacuated by the Russians to the South Caucasus by ship after the German army entered the South Caucasus. So the Romanian commander drove in, and soon occupied all of Bulgaria, bordering Greece.

(What should be noted here is that when the Egg Pain Star Man turned the previous setting of Bulgaria, he found that Greece had a plural number of gods in the original setting, but when the book was more than a million words, the Egg Pain Star Man forgot about this setting, and began to design the situation near the Apennines on the premise that Greece only has a single seedling, and if Nima now restores the setting of how many gods there are in Greece, it doesn't make sense for the Greeks to take advantage of the Italians' civil strife to poke the past, so it's still according to the current setting, Anyway, the current setting makes sense when it comes to Serbian rebellion)

Greece is very nervous, after all, now that its land in the Balkans is completely bordered by the People's Revolution, it is normal to worry about being beaten. Especially the Lin clan Germany has just used an unknown weapon to second so many Russian warriors, and everyone is afraid of anyone.

Greece thought about it, and threw an olive branch to Lin Youde - I won't wait for you to fight, I'll wash it myself and send it to the head office, right?

The situation in the Mediterranean changed in an instant.

Although this place in the Mediterranean Sea has a prefix for the sea, it is actually a bathtub, and you can't look at the Mediterranean Sea from the perspective of the ocean, so there will definitely be problems. Lin had not studied the geography of the Mediterranean until he started playing a game called Europharma, so although he was familiar with the various historical allusions to the Mediterranean, he had no basic idea of where Sardinia and Corsica were located.

Later, through the game, Lin Youde suddenly found that many of his previous cognitions were wrong.

For example, in Malta, Lin Youde originally believed that Malta was a well-fortified British military base in the vast ocean based on the British army's insistence on the isolated island of Malta in World War II, but he found that this was not the case: the strong fortification may not be false, but the vast ocean was simply his Lin Youde's imagination - it was still a wrong imagination.

Malta is only more than 100 kilometers away from Sicily, and the mustache of another time and space is not in a hurry to drive Barbarossa, maybe he will take it down.

Not only that, but the closest distance between Sicily and the northern African coastline is only about 100 kilometers, and even if you sail directly from Sicily to the Libyan colony in Italy, it is less than a day's voyage.

Because the Mediterranean Sea is so small, the occupation of islands in the sea is of vital importance to the control of the Mediterranean.

Originally, Italy belonged to the Human Innovation Alliance, so the situation of the alliance in the Mediterranean Sea was very good, because the Italian boot-shaped native was directly inserted into the Mediterranean, and together with the **** Sicily on the tip of the boot, the Mediterranean Sea was cut into two parts, and there was only a 100-kilometer strait between the two parts. Coupled with the fact that France controls the ****** on the other side of the strait, the alliance of human innovation is equivalent to cutting off shipping in the Mediterranean, and the British Empire was so miserable before, one of the main reasons is that the Mediterranean route was blocked, and the cargo ships from India either ran tens of thousands of kilometers more to take the Cape of Good Hope detour, or went in reverse, through the Guò Panama Canal, and then crossed the Atlantic. Anyway, it turned out that the nearest Suez Canal was impassable.

After the civil strife in Italy, the Italian navy loyal to Lydia had to retreat to the ports of France, first staying in the ******, but was attacked by the British from Alexandria, and had to retreat to the French mainland for repairs, so the British Mediterranean route had a glimmer of life - the French Air Force's ability to attack ships was not as strong as that of the Luftwaffe, and the main French did not want to break into the British ships' battle queen air defense network and exchange their lives for ships.

It can be said that after losing control of Italy, the situation in the Mediterranean became more favorable to Britain.

But this changed in mid-July 1941 when Greece expressed its desire to join the League for Human Renewal.

Although Greece did not arbitrarily divide the Mediterranean into two like Italy, the Greek-controlled island of Crete was just in the mouth of the British in Alexandria, the most important naval base in the Mediterranean, and the Luftwaffe could take care of the British naval fleet attacking from Alexandria at any time as long as it was stationed in Crete.

It just so happened that Lin Youde's eastern front was temporarily completed, and he planned to free up his hands to deal with the threat of the western front, and he originally planned to put the Luftwaffe units in ******, but now that the Greeks are coming, it seems that it is not bad to move to Crete to block Alexandria directly. The advantage of Crete is that it is far from the British air base, so there is no need to worry about interference from the British air force when operating at sea. In ******, the bomber fleet must be accompanied by fighter jets, ready to engage the British Air Force P40 fighters flying from Malta.

So Lin Youde began to plan a strategy in the Mediterranean, using this as one of the means to weaken the British and thus the threat of the Western Front.

On July 15, 1941, after the itinerary of the Romanian goddess was confirmed, Lin Youde flew directly to France with Lydia, who had initially recovered, to meet with Charlie and the Italian Sardinian exiles who were currently in France, to discuss the situation in the Mediterranean, which he hoped would be settled before the Romanian visited.

"Hmph, come and see my craft." On the plane, Lydia sat down next to Lin Youde with a small box, opened the box and revealed the contents.

"Oh, spring rolls."

"Learn from the chef! At first, I asked the male chef in the Chinese room to teach me, but he was scared for some reason, and then his wife came to teach me and said that her husband was a waste while teaching me. ”

Lydia's chatter made Lin Youde laugh, that chef was originally the person in charge of the imperial dining room of the Ming Empire, and was deeply influenced by the traditional thinking of the Ming Kingdom, Lydia is the master's woman, or a goddess, in the Ming Imperial court, in addition to the eunuchs, there are people with Justin Bieber who will definitely be closely guarded after they get involved with her, as long as the "emperor" is a little suspicious, it is a different head.

Lin Youde thought about this, and stretched out his hand to the box in Lydia's hand with a smile, but was gently patted open by Lydia.

"No, no." Lydia shook her head repeatedly, "The chef's wife, who taught me how to cook, told me that spring rolls should be eaten like this." ”

As she spoke, Lydia gently picked up the spring rolls with chopsticks and brought them to Lin Youde's mouth.

"I went to practice the use of chopsticks, come on, ah~"

Lin Youde understood that the chef's wife probably thought that Lydia learned to make spring rolls in order to compete for favor in the harem, so she taught her these secrets.

However, a girl like Lydia leaned forward and leaned against her body, and made a feeding action with a smile, which was not ordinarily lethal.

Lin Youde didn't hesitate to bite down on the spring roll and chew it.

The taste is quite good, and Lin Youde thought that with Lydia's naturalness, maybe he would do something like putting sugar as salt.

"Is it hot?" Lydia looked at Lin Youde chewing and couldn't help asking.

"It's okay, I'm the kind of person who likes to eat hot things." Lin Youde said disapprovingly, in fact, as a Cantonese person, he tends to eat some foods hot, because Cantonese people believe that these foods "have no umami taste when they are cold".

"It's not going to work, it's going to damage your digestive tract." As she spoke, Lydia began to puff out her cheeks and puff on the spring rolls, which looked quite cute.

After Lin Youde finished eating a spring roll, Lydia stuffed the chopsticks in her hand into his hand, and then put on an expectant expression. Yes, she thought that spring rolls could only be fed to each other.

So Lin Youde picked up a spring roll and sent it to Lydia's mouth. Lydia gently lifted her sideburns, and her lips opened and bit them lightly.

It didn't bite off.

Then it was scalded by the juice that flowed out.

What she had reflexively spat out fell on her chest, on her white skin.

"My spring rolls!" Lydia was crying, as if she was really looking forward to tasting her craft.

Lin Youde picked up the shredded potatoes that had fallen on Lydia's chest and was about to slide into her career line and stuffed them into his mouth, jokingly: "Not bad, milky." ”

This reminded Lydia, who took out her handkerchief and wiped her chest as she turned her head to greet her daughter: "Sophie, are you hungry?" ”

Sophie glanced back at her mother, then continued to lie on the window of the plane and look at the sea of clouds outside.

"I'm hungry." Lin Youde said with a wicked smile.

Lydia poked Lin Youde's chest lightly and muttered, "I really can't help you......

After a while, Lydia straightened her collar and said to Lin Youde, "I've always wanted to go to France once." ”

"Haven't you been to France?"

It's actually quite troublesome for Shinhime to go abroad, but most Shinhime will have the experience of going abroad to interact with other Shinhime, and it stands to reason that both French and Italian Shinhime should have been to each other's countries.

Lydia replied to Lin Youde in a whisper: "Beni said that French men are hungry wolves, and I went to France like a wolf, so he didn't let me go." ”

"This ...... I always felt that Mussolini was more like your father than your lover......"

"Ah, that's what I think sometimes." Lydia said and stuck to Lin Youde, almost half lying on Lin Youde's shoulder, she seemed to like leaning on Lin Youde like this, "Beni was always very distressed before, saying that you don't value the relationship with Italy, I once asked me to come to see you, but I didn't expect him to suddenly be very strict, saying 'only this is absolutely not good' and what's the 'he will take away all the virgin gods'!" ”

Lydia's expression turned sad as she spoke.

"He's right, I've really been soaked, and he's gone."

Lin Youde gently stroked Lydia's red hair.

That's when Sophie said, "What the hell is that Beni?" ”

Lin Youde opened his mouth wide: "Sophie, can you speak?" ”

"I'll talk about it for a long time." Sophie frowned, staring at Lin Youde with an expression of "Are you looking down on me?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Youde to reply, Lydia pounced, took Sophie's small body in her arms, rubbed Sophie's face vigorously, and said happily while rubbing: "You finally spoke, Sophie!" Mom is so happy! So happy! ”

Sophie frowned, her expression looking impatient with Lydia's affectionate gesture, but she probably didn't hate being rubbed by her mother, and the two feelings were mixed together to form a rather subtle expression - yes, the kind of expression that is common on the faces of little adult-like characters.

Ysera was smart enough, but apparently Sophie was even more terrifying - although she and Ysera had spoken for about the same amount of time, it was obvious that her words were much more coherent than Ysera's when she had just spoken.
