Chapter 595: Layout
Tell a girl that she's ugly and looks like an old man............... cough, even if this girl is his daughter, it is undoubtedly a very rude word, not to mention that Elino, who is already 30 years old, has her own child for the first time, and it is the most maternal time, Yan Shao said this now, her face naturally became very ugly.
Almost instantly, Caterina and the others, who were standing behind Yan Shao, saw Elaline's face darken, but at this time, Yan Shao didn't notice this, and his attention was completely focused on the child in Elaline's arms.
Maybe it's because of the relationship just born, the child in Elaline's arms at this moment has wrinkled skin, just like Yan Shao said, like a little old man...
However, looking at her, I don't know what to do, Yan Shao's heart rose a sense of closeness.
"This is my child..."Thinking so, Yan Shao's face showed a smile, but at this moment he didn't notice Elano's dark face, and this also made him pay a terrible price...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Not to mention what happened in the delivery room, the news of the birth of the child soon spread to the lobby, and after learning that the mother and child were safe, the depressing atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became lively, and many people were there talking...
But on the other hand, after learning that it was a daughter, Fu Xiuming, Song Jiaoren and others were also relieved.
After all, in the traditional concept of China, a daughter can't be an emperorββββββ doesn't mean that there is no female emperor, at least Wu Zetian is a typical example. It's a pity that it's a negative one, which is also the reason why China has never given birth to a female emperor in later history.
Originally, they were worried that Yan Shao had given birth to a daughter, and maybe they had other ideas. Or maybe some shameless people will do something to persuade them, now, it seems that there is no need to worryββββββ after Yan Shao played Fu Xiuming and them on the dragon chair, someone soon came to the door to persuade them, this kind of thing Fu Xiuming They remember clearly.
Although it may be a little immoral to think so, Fu Xiuming and the others hope in their hearts that Yan Shao will not have any other heirs, after all, it will easily affect the stability of the entire country.
Even. Even if Yan Shao didn't have the intention of becoming an emperor, after all, today's China has been completely controlled by Yan Shao's Yushi Group in terms of economy, and the country itself doesn't know how much money it owes Yushi Bank...
Even if Yan Shao didn't have the intention of becoming an emperor. If his descendants inherit everything from him, they will have the ability to disrupt the entire country, not to mention that there are countless people in today's China who are loyal to Yan Shao, and these are all in the hands of Yan Shao. Military. Politics, economics, and the three parts are all in Yan Shao's hands, and when Yan Shao breathes, if his son wants to do something, Fu Xiuming and Song Jiaoren really don't know what to do...
The problem of the second generation, no matter where it is, is a big problem...
Of course, when they breathed a sigh of relief. There are also many people who follow the calculation.
Although it is not clear what the child's name is, there is no doubt about it. As Yan Shao's first and only child, this child will become Yan Shao's eldest daughter, and in the case of Yan Shao's 'old man', he is likely to be favored a lot, and may even become the most favored child.
Because Yan Shao only had children after 30, this age is already very big in this era, so no one knows whether Yan Shao can still have children...
In that case, as Yan Shao's only child, this child will naturally be pampered.
If someone can take this opportunity to marry Yan Shao, then there is no doubt that they will be able to ascend to the sky in one step, and as Yan Shao's in-laws, the benefits will be inexhaustible...
Therefore, those who have sons are almost all considered, and even if they don't, they are also thinking about their own relatives. They are not worried about the child's appearance in the future, after all, as a mother, Eleno can be called 'alluring the city and the country', although Yan Shao's appearance cannot be said to be special......... But with a height of 185cm, coupled with a pretty good appearance, it can also be called very handsome.
The children born of these two can be imagined what they will look like in the end.
This is like those princesses in history, except for genetic mutations, they basically look very good, this is the importance of geneticsββββββ of course, good looks do not mean that the IQ is also high...
Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and the others are all human spirits, even if those people didn't say their plans, just looking at their pensive looks, Duan Qirui and the others could guess what they were thinking, but in this regard, they just pouted disdainfully and didn't say anything.
One of the very important reasons why they are like this is that they are already at the age of holding their grandchildren, and it is almost impossible to find a son to come out...
Of course, you can also say, let them get their grandchildren up.
But here's the problem...
They are now arguing with Yan Shao's peers, if they marry their grandson to Yan Shao, wouldn't it mean that they are a generation older than Yan Shao. If Yan Shao doesn't mind, then of course everyone is happy, but if Yan Shao minds and thinks that they want to use this method to suppress themselves, then...
It's better not to climb this pro...
Obviously, there are many people at the scene who also have such thoughts, of course, there are also some who think that it is okay to be Yan Shao's grandfather, but is such a person...
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
Although Yan Shao had not yet decided on the name of the child, the news of the child's birth quickly spread throughout the country. For a while, Yan Shao's daughter's matter even overshadowed the attention to the war in Europe in the newspapers, and many Chinese people focused their attention on this matter and threw aside the European affairs.
Zhu Erdian and others were helpless about this, but there was nothing they could do. Not only that, but he even prepared himself and ran to Yan Shao's side to congratulate him.
This is also a very normal thing. After all, if the head of state of a certain country has a child born, it is very common to come to the door to congratulate him, and if you consider that this is Yan Shao's first child, it is even more common.
What's more, with Yan Shao's current status and power in China, it can be said that there is not much difference from the emperor, if Yan Shao is the emperor, then Yan Shao's daughter is the eldest princess. No matter from which point of view, they have to come to congratulate them...
At the same time, the heads of state of the Entente countries such as Britain, France, the United States, and Italy. They all sent telegrams to congratulate them, and in addition to that, the newly formed Provisional Government of Russia, despite the fact that it was in a busy mess, also took the time to send telegrams to congratulate them.
But the real surprise is that. I'm afraid it's a telegram from Germany...
It is important to know that at present, China and Germany are belligerents. And not a belligerent in the name of the past, but now one of the main belligerents of the Entente on the Western Front. This move by Germany is somewhat surprising.
The Germans' apparent explanation for this was that it was because of the Kuomintang's kindness to the Germans in China, but in fact Yan Shao and others knew very well that the reason why the Germans would congratulate was purely because of a series of support from the Nationalist government for Germany in the past.
True, the Nationalist government did obstruct many German military operations on the Western Front. Even after the Battle of the Somme, tanks and other equipment were sold to the Entente on a large scale. The Fokker disaster, which the Germans had played well on the Western Front, was also reversed by Yan Shao's sale of some techniques in this area to the Entente.
However, while helping the Entente, the Nationalist government also gave Germany a lot of help.
For example, in terms of anti-tank equipment, if it were not for the help of the national government, I am afraid that until now the Germans have been using anti-tank guns such equipment, but now, they are using 50mm caliber anti-tank guns, even if this equipment is a design that the Wehrmacht later eliminated, but it is very critical to play in the Western Front, and so far, the number of tanks destroyed by this kind of anti-tank artillery on the Western Front has exceeded three or four hundred, considering the limited number of tanks of the Entente on the Western Front, That's quite a feat.
In addition, the Nationalist government also gave great support to Germany's tank plan. By now, the Germans had equipped a considerable number of tanks on the Western Front, although they could not be compared with Britain and France in terms of numbers, but they were able to equip so many tanks in such a short period of time, which is enough to prove the series of support carried out by the Nationalist government behind the scenes.
Of course, this is not to say that the Germans themselves are unable to develop tanks, in fact, the technical level of the Germans is still very high, at least in many ways much stronger than today's China, the reason for this situation is purely because China has to go a few steps ahead of Germany.
Just like the original tank, both Britain and Germany have actually gone astray, especially Germany, which has come up with tanks similar to armored vehicles, which in itself speaks for itself.
From the very beginning, China's tank plan was divided into two parts: tanks and armored vehicles, one part was specifically used to deal with the tanks that the enemy might have, and the other part was to carry soldiers to break through the enemy's defense line.
As for mobility, detours, or whatever, these are not very importantββββββ of course, this is not to say that Yan Shao is using tanks and armored vehicles as workpiece equipment, and I don't know that Lu Dao should use them as mobile troops, a mobile force that is more important than cavalry.
Although armored vehicles are the same as war horses, they also need to eat grass (gasoline, diesel), and need to rest (repair, replace parts), but it is always much more convenient to use than war horses, and only need one maintenance and one refueling, which is enough to make these armored vehicles last for a long time, unlike war horses, not to mention that war horses cannot rush up against the enemy's machine guns like armored vehicles.
The problem is that the reliability of armored vehicles in this era is too poor, whether it is a tank or an armored vehicle, even if Yan Shao really uses them as a mobile force, the situation on the road may be better, but in the fieldββββββ Yan Shao must have 80% or even 90% of the vehicles will be mentally prepared to lie on the way.
If they were concentrated in a certain position, maybe Yan Shao wouldn't have such a headache. But the problem is that they usually run and suddenly one of them breaks down. Then run a run, and suddenly another one broke down, basically running all the way, bad all the way, such a situation, I believe no matter who can tolerate it...
And even if a small part of them reach their final destination, the remaining forces of the last force will probably not be able to exert any combat ability.
So it can't be helped. For the time being, Yan Shao can only use them as short-distance offensive equipment, specially used to deal with the opponent's fortifications and trenches, etc., as for large-scale mobile operations or even blitzkriegs. Let's wait until their failure rate is smallerββββββ but from Yan Shao's point of view, this possibility is unlikely to be at least for the next ten years...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Not to mention these, at least with the technical support of Yan Shao, the Germans could develop some new tanks comparable to the Entente tanks in the shortest possible time. Albeit. The technical features of these tanks are still somewhat non-mainstream.
However, considering that the tanks of this era are in a very early period, even the two models chosen by Yan Shao are only a starting point, and they are not much different from other non-mainstream tanks, so it will not matter if it arrives.
And the Germans are obviously aware of the support of the Chinese in this, although they know very well that Yan Shao will support Germany solely because he needs the Europeans to shed blood in this war. This included both Allied countries such as Germany, as well as Allied countries such as Britain and France. But there are some things that I still want to express gratitude, although these techniques are basically bought by them with German overseas assets in the United States and other placesββββββ of course, they are all Chinese now, and even some of the remaining ones have been basically confiscated by the US government.
Anyway, however, the Germans sent a telegram of congratulations in the end...
At the same time, after the news spread throughout the country, the whole country rejoiced, and even the expeditionary forces in Europe deliberately took a day off and celebrated wellββββββ not only because they respected Yan Shao, but also because they had fought in Europe for such a long time, and wanting to relieve the pressure a little was also one of the important reasons...
At the same time, Yan Shao also handed over a lot of work to the people below, and then took some time out to accompany Elanon, and of course, the children between them...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
In a secret office in the northeast of the Secret Service, Link was standing in his office, looking at the young North Korean named Park Ji-yong in front of him.
Standing in front of Link, the young man was motionless and expressionless...
After a while, Link nodded, and then said to Park Ji-yong. "You should know why I called you..."
"Clear..."After a moment of silence, Park Ji-young nodded.
"That's good..."Hearing Park Ji-young's answer, a smile appeared on Link's face, but this smile was quickly hidden, and then the expression on Link's face became serious. I am the person in charge of the Special Affairs Bureau in Liaoning, and I believe you already know this, and the reason why I will bring you here is because I have already checked many things......... During the annexation of Korea by the Japanese, your family took the initiative to surrender to the Japanese, so it was reused and trusted by the Japanese, and became one of the few Koreans who could continue to maintain their power..."
"But you don't seem to be happy with your family's choice, and you've been plotting to resist the Japanese, I'm right..."
ββ¦β¦β¦ Rightβ" After a moment of silence, Park Ji-young replied, but his expression didn't change in the slightest, as if Link was talking about something else.
Link didn't care about this, just continued. "Originally, you have identified a resistance organization, and planned to participate in the secret meeting of the resistance organization more than half a month ago, that is, the day before our people brought you back from North Korea, which is probably one of the reasons why you have an opinion about us, but I must tell you a little secret, that is, this organization was actually made by the Japanese, and several leaders of the organization have already defected to the Japanese, and the role of this organization is also very simple, that is, to treat you like this, Young people with the intention of rebelling against Japanese rule will be swept away one by one..."
Park Ji-young, who had always been expressionless, after hearing Link say this. His face finally changed...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Although Korea has been annexed by Japan, there are not many Koreans on the Korean Peninsula who are willing to be slaves of the country. It's just that most of them are numb and silent, just hoping to continue to live, and for this part of the people, there is not much difference between living under the rule of the Japanese and living under the rule of the Lee dynasty...
However, there are still a small number of North Koreans who have always been enthusiastic about the cause of resistance...
This group of people, especially the young students...
And Park Ji-young is such a person...
Although his family contributed a lot to the Japanese rule of Korea. As a result, it has been trusted and reused by the Japanese, making it one of the few more powerful families in North Korea, but Park Ji-young is not willing to die here. Therefore, they have been seeking a way to resist...
But it's a pity that he is still too young after all, and the first time he found the resistance organization, it was actually a bait specially arranged by the Japanese.
If it weren't for the people from the Special Affairs Bureau who got Park Ji-young back in advance. I'm afraid he has bitten the bait that the Japanese gave him. As for what will happen to him, it seems needless to say that when it comes to the worst of the day, I am afraid that even his family will suffer with it.
Seeing that Park Ji-young's face finally changed, Link smiled and then continued. "By the way, those who, like you, intend to join that organization. Now they have all been arrested by the Japanese, as for their fate. I believe you also know what it will be like, even if you don't get executed, I believe you won't show up in this life......... I'm probably going to be locked up in a prison for the rest of my life..."
Hearing Link talking about such a thing with an indifferent expression, Park Ji-yong, who had been expressionless, suddenly showed a trace of anger on his face. "Since you know that something will happen to my compatriots, why didn't you stop them!"
"Because there's no need to stop it," Link shook his head. Because they are already a dead end, even if we stop them, they will be found out by the Japanese, and then, they can do what they want, but you are different..."
As he spoke, Link looked at Park Ji-young as if he was looking at some treasure.
"You are different from them, they have already promoted their ideas in public before they decided to join those resistance groups, they are actually all people who have been blacklisted by the Japanese, even if there is no today's incident, it won't be long before they will be caught by the Japanese, but you are different, because of your family relationship, you have never shown your antipathy to the Japanese to the outside world, plus your family has always been trusted by the Japanese, so, you still have a way to live..."
"But," Park Ji-young said with some bitterness. Although I found the organization myself, there are people who know me in it, at least the introducer..."
Park Ji-young's ability is good, with the strength of the family, he easily found this organization, and found one of the leaders who intends to join it, and obviously, that person knows him, so...
"Don't worry," Link said with a smile. We've got rid of that person, and that person didn't report you to the Japanese...", a mocking smile appeared on Link's face. "That guy seems to think you're a golden egg and plans to blackmail your family, but he's been dealt with by us before that, so at least on the Japanese side, you're innocent..."
Hearing Link's words, Park Ji-young breathed a sigh of relief.
On the one hand, because he has not been discovered by the Japanese, on the other hand, although he dislikes the cooperation between his family and the Japanese, but those are his family after all, if his affairs are discovered by the Japanese, I am afraid that his family will also...
He knew very well the ruthlessness of the Japanese methods...
If he is really known by the Japanese, even if his family has great influence in North Korea, I am afraid that his family will be skinned down by the Japanese...
Now, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Soon, though, he looked puzzled again.
"So, what exactly is the purpose of bringing us here?"
This is also the question he is most curious about.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Link didn't answer Park Ji-young's question directly, but asked him a question first. "You think. Can you alone overthrow Japanese rule in Korea..."
"Of course you can!" Park Ji-young said without hesitation.
However, in the face of Park Ji-young's answer, Link asked with a smile. "Really..."
"This..."
"At the moment, the Japanese have amassed at least three divisions on the Korean Peninsula, in addition to other miscellaneous troops. There are at least 100,000 troops on the entire peninsula, and you alone......... If you could overthrow the Japanese rule, you wouldn't have been annexed by the Japanese, would you? β
Hearing the contempt in Link's mouth, Park Ji-young said with some anger. "What the hell are you trying to say?"
"Work with us!" Seeing that Park Ji-young had already stepped into the right topic, Link did not continue to sell Guan Zi. "At the moment, it is obviously impossible for you alone to overthrow the Japanese. But if you add us, it's a very different story, isn't it? We have already defeated the Japanese in Shandong. The expeditionary force sent by our government has taught the Germans and Austrians on the Western Front in Europe, and the Turks in Mesopotamia, and with our help, it will be absolutely difficult for you to restore your country..."
"You meanβ" was silent for a moment. Park Ji-young seemed to have something in mind. "You're planning to go to war with the Japanese. So you want me to convince my clan to help you...", this seems to be the only possibility in Park Ji-yong's view. And as soon as he thought of this, Park Ji-young suddenly became excited.
Although there is some resistance to Chinese rule, China's influence in Korea is too great, so even though Japan has annexed Korea for many years, there are still many people in Korea who miss China.
Even young people like Park Ji-young hate China just as much. But......... At that time, China was only a nominal suzerain, and it would not seek to conquer the territory of North Korea. Japan, on the other hand, is completely different, he has witnessed the atrocities of the Japanese in Korea over the years, so even if the Chinese are not a perfect partner to work with, Park Ji-young is still willing to choose cooperation.
So if Link's purpose is to ask him to help thread the needle and connect with his family, Park Ji-young is definitely willing to cooperate.
However, Park Ji-young obviously thought badly, and when he heard his words, Link suddenly laughed.
"No, I'm not interested in your family, I'm interested in you..."
"Me?" Park Ji-young was slightly stunned. "You're talking about me?"
"That's right," Link nodded. Overthrowing the Japanese rule in Korea is definitely not something that can be done in a simple time, so we must be patient, and the terrain of Korea is complicated, the north is mountainous, and the Japanese have built many fortifications in the north, even if we want to attack it, we will have to pay great casualties..."
This is true, since the end of the Battle of Shantung, the Japanese forces were completely driven back to Korea, in order to prevent the Kuomintang government from launching an attack on Korea. While trying to regain their strength, the Japanese built a series of defensive lines in the northern part of Korea, especially in the mountains and forests...
Up to now, the Sino-North Korean border has been full of Japanese fortifications, coupled with the complex terrain of northern Korea, even if the Wehrmacht is equipped with a large number of tanks, it is not easy to capture North Korea, and the defense line deployed by the Japanese on the border alone is enough to make the Wehrmacht pay the price of blood, so as Link said, liberating Korea is definitely not a simple matter, at least it is definitely not something that can be decided now.
"Then you are going to..."Hearing Link's words, although Park Ji-young couldn't help but nod and admit it, his heart was completely confused.
This time, Link is not selling anything to him, but is straightforward. "I need you to go and serve the Japanese, break into the interior of the Japanese, and then ......... At our service..."
At first, Park Ji-young changes color, but soon he understands what Link means. "You want me to be your spy among the Japanese?"
"A spy, to be exactβ" corrected Link, and Link continued. The liberation of Korea is definitely not something that can be done in a short period of time, so we must ensure that we have our own people inside Korea, and only in this way can we understand some of the actions of the Japanese in Korea and play a role in future operations, and if we can have such a person within the Japanese army, then in the process of liberating Korea in the future, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort in the process of liberating Korea..."
"But..."After a moment's hesitation, Park Ji-young hesitated. Why would you choose me..."
"Because your family is trusted by the Japanese. Because you haven't been discovered by the Japanese yet, and of course, there's a lot more to it...", said Link with a smile to Park Ji-young. "Of course. You can also refuse, I won't do anything to you, but if you are really a patriot, I believe that you will never refuse, right? β
Of course, Link lied to him, in fact, if Park Ji-young refused, Link would definitely kill him directly. After all, even if the Japanese will know about the secret service's development of espionage in Korea sooner or later, they absolutely cannot let them know about it now. In order to ensure this secret, Park Ji-young must be silencedββββββ of course, there is also a choice to close, but that would be too wasteful of food after all. So the solution is much simpler to shoot...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
After listening to Link's words. Park Ji-young was silent for a moment, but soon he strengthened his resolve. "Yes, I'm willing to work with you, but......... Do you dare to promise that after the Japanese are driven out, you will not continue to occupy Korea? β
"Of course not," Link shook his head with a smile. To be honest, we don't have much interest in that part of North Korea, but it's really disgusting that such a place has been standing by such a bad neighbor as Japan..."
Hear Link say that. Park Ji-young nodded, regardless of whether what he said was true or false. Park Ji-young has only one way to choose at the moment, and he would rather believe that it is true, because he doesn't believe what Link just said that he will let him go, he is sure that if he refuses, what awaits him will either be shot or imprisoned, and there will definitely be no third way to choose...
Seeing that Park Ji-yong agreed, Link was also happy in his heart, in fact, Park Ji-young occupied a very high position in the planning of the Special Affairs Bureau, because there are very few North Koreans in North Korea who can reach the level of their family, of course, it is even more difficult to find a staunch anti-Japanese element in these families.
They also searched for a long time in North Korea before they found such an option as Park Ji-yong...
As for the rest, of course, there are not, but obviously there are no such high conditions as Park Ji-young...
"What do you want me to do?" Seeing Link's silent appearance, Park Ji-young asked.
"First of allβ" After a pause, Link replied. First of all, we must arrange some training for you, although you have a lot of enthusiasm now, but I am afraid that you can't imagine the cruelty of the environment in which the spy is located, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will expose yourself, and then lead to death, so we must give you a comprehensive training, so that even if you encounter some other problems, you can ensure your own safety, and at the same time try to minimize the suspicion of the Japanese, even if they do, there is no evidence..."
"After that, we will arrange your work, we will arrange the army for you, although the Japanese have a lot of troops in Korea, but if you want to maintain order in the whole of Korea, it is impossible not to accept some local soldiers, and with your family's ability in Korea, as long as you join the army, you will definitely be able to be reused by the Japanese, and you may even be promoted to an officer in the future, at that time, it is the best time for you to play a role..."
Listening to Link's words, Park Ji-young nodded slightly to show understanding.
Link said it clearly, and he understood what Link meant.
Link's meaning is to let him join the army with the help of his family's strength, and blend into the officer class, so that in the future, if there is a conflict between China and Japan, he can play a role in it, whether it is to pass on information or simply turn over some generals who are also Koreans, this is up to him...
In fact, the Japanese have indeed recruited a lot of Korean soldiers into the army in history, including even characters like Park Chung-heeββββββ the creator of the miracle of the Han River, the reason why South Korea can become a developed country, Park Chung-hee can be said to be a great contribution, of course, he can also be said to be the most famous dictator in the history of South Korea, and then he died like many famous dictators in history, in Yan Shao's era, the president of South Korea, is Park Chung-hee's daughter, and because of this identity, When she was president, she also caused a storm.
Historically, Park Chung-hee graduated in 1937 and taught at an elementary school in Mungyeong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do for two or three years. In 1940, the Manchukuo Military Academy under Japanese control enrolled students in Korea, and Park Chung-hee entered the Manchurian Military Academy in Xinjing (now Changchun City) under the Japanese name Takagi Masao, and after completing two years of preparatory studies, he went to Tokyo in 1942 to study for an undergraduate degree at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School. After graduating in 1944, he served as a trainee officer in Unit 635 of the Qiqihar Kwantung Army. However, about three months later, Park Chung-hee was soon assigned to the 8th Regiment of the Manchukuo Army in Rehe Province as a second lieutenant as the regiment commander's adjutantββββββ some say that he served as a lieutenant in the Manchukuo Army.
Naturally, North Korea, where Park Chung-hee was located at that time, had been ruled by the Japanese for more than 30 years, and the rule was already very stable, and even the Chinese had the title of two devils for the Koreans.
And now that the Japanese have not been annexed to Korea for a long time, their rule in Korea is not stable, but because of this, Park Ji-young is more likely to serve in the army. Because in the face of the Chinese threat, all Japan can do is build fortifications on the border between China and North Korea, and the rest is to use the Korean natives to make up for its own shortcomings.
Park Ji-yong's family has always been respectful and obedient to the Japanese, and is one of the few trusted by the Japanese, and the people in their family serve in the army, and it is easier for them to mix into the officer class than other Koreans.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After some conversation, Park Ji-young already has an idea of his mission, and Link has made some arrangements for him. But just as Park Ji-young was about to leave, he suddenly turned around and asked Link. "Am I not the only North Korean you have contacted..."
"Of course you're not the only one," Link shook his head. In fact, we have found more than a dozen people, all of whom have different identities, but they are all staunch patriots, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you who they are, in fact, they are all one-way contact with me, except for me, only Director Katarina, who is far away in Beijing, so at least you don't need to worry about anything in this regard..."
Caterina's reputation, Park Ji-young has more or less heard of it, so after hearing Link's words, Park Ji-young didn't say anything, just nodded and said. "That's good...", as he opened the door, Park Ji-young walked outside.
After Park Ji-young left the room, Link grabbed the phone on the table and spoke. "That's it, let's bring in the next one..."
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Even the top brass of the Wehrmacht had a headache after learning about the fortified defense line built by the Japanese on the Sino-Korean border, and although the Japanese defense line was not impossible to break through, the casualties were certainly not small.
Just like the Maginot Line, which the French later made, even the Germans had a lot of headaches, but they were clever enough to bypass this line, which shattered the French idea of using it as a resurrection of Verdunββββββ in fact, the construction of the Maginot Line itself was not a stupid decision, and in a way, such a line of defense was not obsolete.
But!
It would be absolutely stupid to only focus on the French side and ignore the Netherlands and Belgium, but the French are actually helpless about it. After all, the Maginot Line itself is expensive, and I don't know how much it will cost to repair it to Belgium and the Netherlands, and the most important point is that these countries are allies of France, and build a defense line behind them......... Tell me, who are you guarding against?
If you say you're defending against the Germans, does it mean that you're going to abandon the Netherlands and Belgium by building the line behind you? If so, how can you guarantee that the Netherlands and Belgium will continue to be with you? Instead of taking refuge in Germany?
So...
Maginot failed, not so much because of the stupidity of the French, but because of political difficulties... (To be continued......)
