Inside the room, Caterina is enjoying more attentive care than she has ever been.

Of course, this is not to say that Yan Shao was inconsiderate in the past, but now and then it is different after all. In the past, Katerina was just one person, so what Yan Shao needed to give her was just one person's thoughtfulness.

But now there are two people in her belly, in other words, what Yan Shao needs for her is the thoughtfulness of two people. It's just that the one in her stomach can't enjoy this kind of thoughtfulness for the time being, so this kind of thoughtfulness is all enjoyed by Katerina.

On the other hand, although Yan Shao's thoughtfulness has caused a lot of inconvenience to Katarina, Katerina still feels very much enjoying this kind of thoughtfulness, and she also feels a little warm in her heart.

Lying on the soft bed, Caterina brushed open the curtains and looked out. Sunlight streamed into the room through the window, and in a few moments, Caterina was going to work at the Secret Service...

In the past, Caterina didn't really like to go to work, although she also had a strong desire for power, but sometimes she still preferred to be able to take a good rest and spend time with her family, not to mention that she also knew that her current rights were just a kind of castle in the air. Without Yan Shao, the pavilion would collapse, and she would fall to the ground with the pavilion.

But now, she suddenly enjoyed it a little.

One of the reasons is that when Katarina's belly grows bigger, even if she wants to go to work in the future, I am afraid that she will need to wait until the child is born, and take a good rest by the way.

Unlike Lu Ying and Kaoru Otsuki, Caterina is the same as Elano. They are all people who like to work. Give her and Elano a week or a month off, and maybe the two of them will gladly accept it, and let them rest for a few months. Then they can't stand it...

And Caterina knew that her job was different from that of Elaline, who was just a business competition. Considering the huge size of the Yushi Group today, there are basically no threatening competitors in China, and abroad, as long as several other countries do not take any targeted measures against the Yushi Group, I believe there will not be any big problem.

So, even if Elino takes a break for a while. It is also possible to hand over the affairs of the group to someone else for the time being. Anyway, the group itself has already entered the formality, and there will be no problems with lightness.

But the Special Authorities are different. As the largest spy agency in the country and even in the world. This agency cannot be relaxed for a moment, because this is not only a spy agency, but also the sharpest weapon in their hands...

Not to mention the rest, although there is a capable minister of integrity in the country. And under his leadership, he is very clean. And a very efficient anti-corruption department. But is it true that such a big country is free of corruption?

It can't be said that there is none, at most it can only be regarded as better than other countries.

Some people, the Ministry of Integrity has long known about their corruption and bribery, but there is no evidence, so they can't do anything―――――― this is probably the biggest difference between Song Jiaoren and others, Song Jiaoren admires those things abroad the most in his life, so even if he knows that the other party is guilty. As long as there is no evidence, he will not do anything with the other party...

And then. Could Song Jiaoren really not be able to find evidence?

Perhaps...

But the Ministry of Integrity can't find it, but the Special Affairs Bureau has no problem...

Not only these people, but even some people who have not yet unearthed evidence of corruption and bribery, the Special Affairs Bureau also has some evidence. It's just that she never touched it, because sometimes it's more effective to keep these things in her hand than to take them out...

Because keeping this evidence is very useful for their family's position in the country.

Yan Shao was also very aware of this, but he didn't ask about it, because Yan Shao was no longer the innocent boy he was at the beginning. Maybe he's not very smart, but he understands one thing, that is, this world can never become a blank sheet of paper, the mainstream color of this world will always be black and white mixed gray, and similarly, no matter how great he is, he can't completely eliminate the problem of corruption...

So although he was also disgusted in his heart, in fact, Yan Shao was using these to strengthen his position while slowly trying to find a way to change...

Of course, Yan Shao didn't really have any choice, and if that was the case, Yan Shao would not have allowed the Special Affairs Bureau to provide information to the Ministry of Integrity in the first place.

For those people, Yan Shao also made a part of the choice.

Some of them are greedy but capable, and not excessive, and the other are important people...

As for those who are greedy and incapable, they were all handed over by Yan Shao to the Ministry of Integrity, because these people are of no use to Yan Shao's status, and after staying, they will be disadvantaged and not beneficial...

It is precisely because of the importance of the Special Affairs Bureau that Caterina can't give up there lightly...

――――――――――――――――――――

Turning sideways to look at the white flesh on the bed beside her, Caterina shook her head helplessly, even though Caterina was also immersed in carnal desire last night. But every morning the next day, she still thinks that last night was too ridiculous―――――― of course, she doesn't hate this kind of absurdity at all...

After stepping over the white flesh on the bed, Caterina jumped to the ground and put on her shoes, and by the way, she covered her delicate body with her clothes...

After doing all this, Caterina said hello to Yan Shao, who seemed to be still dazed on the bed, and then walked downstairs.

However, not long after she arrived at the restaurant below, she saw a maid approaching.

"Madame..."

"What's the matter?" After glancing, the charming girl in front of her smiled, and Caterina asked softly.

Although he is in his 30s, his appearance is always the same as when he was younger. So Caterina didn't envy these still very young girls. Of course, she and Eleno had also suspected that so many beautiful women were around. Yan Shao will not steal it.

But later, after finding out that Yan Shao had indeed not eaten it secretly, and had just focused his energy on them, Katerina and the others were relieved...

Although Caterina has a large scar on the left side of her face, this only adds a strange charm to her beautiful face. Combined with the smile she rarely showed in the past, it suddenly gave the maid a feeling that her eyes lit up, and she almost forgot her purpose.

It's good to work in the presidential palace. The business side was still relatively pure, and soon she remembered her true purpose and spoke to Katarina. "Yesterday. The Spanish embassy called and said that the Spanish ambassador wanted to come and visit you and congratulate you personally..."

"Spain..."A hint of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, to the country he hadn't been back to for a long time. Caterina still has some nostalgia in her heart. "Oh well. Reply for me, just say next Saturday afternoon, I have some time, please come at that time..."

At this time, Caterina's body has not changed much after all, and she can still work, so the time she can spare naturally becomes much less.

And on the other hand, hear the words of Katerina. The maid nodded.

"I see..."

――――――――――――――――――――――

After the maid turned to leave, Caterina looked at the newspaper that had just been baked today. While waiting for breakfast. After living in China for so many years, in many places Caterina is no different from Chinese except for her appearance, so those reports in the newspapers, even in literary Chinese, have little pressure on her.

As for breakfast or something, it has long been a whole Chinese food―――――― and it has been in China for a long time, and Caterina is not used to Western food, at least some of it, and as for British food or something, it is like a poisonous substance to Yan Shao and Katarina.

In particular, some of the foods, both in terms of appearance and taste, are unappetizing...

After a while, a hearty breakfast was brought to Caterina, and just as Catalina was about to watch the morning news while eating breakfast, Yan Shao, who was wearing a nightgown, also walked downstairs.

"Why did you get up so early today?"

Yawning, Yan Shao kissed Caterina and said a little strangely.

"Is it work—" Caterina looked upstairs as she set the newspaper aside. By the way, what about the three of them? ”

"I'm still sleeping, I can't scream no matter how I call it, so I'll get up first..."Saying that, Yan Shao stretched his body, although the nightgown was already very wide, it was still difficult to hide Yan Shao's sturdy body, especially the muscles that were faintly revealed from it...

After noticing this, for a moment, Katarina's eyes were a little difficult to look away.

"By the way? What was going on? ”

"Oh! Yesterday's news said that the Spanish ambassador wanted to visit him in person and express his congratulations or something..."

Catalina guessed a little about the visit of the Spanish ambassador.

Now her home country was not in a very good situation, although Spain did not intervene in the war because of Alfonso XIII. But in fact, the trend of Spain's weakening has not stopped, and at this time Spain urgently needs to have a foreign aid deposit. The problem is that Britain and France are fighting over there, but Spain is standing aside like nothing, and it would be really strange if Britain and France would feel comfortable in this situation, so it is basically impossible to count on Britain and France...

As for the United States...

Who took the last few colonies of Spain?

Germany has been crippled again, and Russia, which has also become the world of red elements, at this time, Spain seems to really have only one choice, China―――――― of course, and Japan, but Japan's little capital has been almost consumed in the past half a year or so of war, so it is really better to count on them than to count on China...

Not only Katerina thought of this, but even Yan Shao thought of it.

However, Yan Shao didn't care much, even if it was based on the idea of Aiwu and Wu, Yan Shao didn't mind helping Spain. Not to mention the importance of Spain's geographical location. If Spain can regain Gibraltar, then the maritime trade of the entire Mediterranean will depend on Spain...

Of course. As things stand, it is unlikely that Spain will be able to do it...

It's just that Yan Shao obviously didn't think about how important Spain was to China later, and how close the relationship between China and Spain was...

It's so close that it's almost beyond the imagination of ordinary people...

Of course, Spain at that time was certainly not the territory of China. Because it's not easy to grab a place in Europe, especially in Western Europe...

Between words. Yan Shao's breakfast was also served.

Yan Shao's breakfast is very simple, that is, a relatively cold juice, by the way, add some tofu brain or something―――――― don't ask whether it is sweet tofu brain or salty tofu brain, anyway, Yan Shao is very happy to eat.

It's not surprising, though. In his previous life, Yan Shao was originally a poor boy. What's more. When Yan Shao was a child, children of his age could only eat this when they went to school, and after a long time, it was naturally difficult to change their eating habits, and Yan Shao had no intention of changing them at all.

Naturally, despite eating only the most ordinary tofu brain, but under the processing of the chef of the presidential palace. This breakfast is probably not inferior to any food. For the chefs. It is obviously a supreme honor to be able to serve Yan Shao's family in the presidential palace, which is the idea of almost all chefs in China, not to mention that Yan Shao's family is not a stingy person, and the salary given is far more than ordinary people can give. Coupled with Yan Shao's own prestige, those celebrity chefs are very willing to serve in Yan Shao's home.

In this case, Yan Shao's breakfast is naturally a beautiful stomach...

However, while Yan Shao and Caterina were enjoying breakfast, a staff member suddenly ran in from outside in a panic, and at the same time handed the telegram in his hand to Yan Shao.

After reading the contents of the telegram, Yan Shao's face was also full of surprise, and the spoon that was already in his hand fell directly into the bowl...

And after reading the contents of the telegram on the side, Katarina's face was also full of surprise, and her complexion, which was already very white, was now much whiter...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Since learning the news that Katerina was pregnant, many armies, including the Seventeenth Army, suddenly boiled. The body, which had been tired from the long journey and the cold climate, became refreshed by the stimulation of this news...

As Feng Guozhang said, I want to give Yan Shao a congratulatory gift...

It was with this thought in mind that the march, which had already slowed down a little, became faster again.

Then, in a short period of time, Gao Wenshan and another army followed up to Pyongyang City, and even saw the Rising Sun Flag hanging over the head of Pyongyang...

Pyongyang, the capital of later North Korea and the largest city in North Korea, is now in front of them at Gowin Mountain. At the same time, this kind of city is also their ultimate goal, and it is important to capture this city, so their goal of Gowensan can be said to have been half achieved―――――― and the rest is naturally to annihilate the Japanese army in the encirclement, and then take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese army chaos to continue south, and by the way, the whole of North Korea will be included in it...

At the moment he saw the city of Pyongyang, Gao Wensan even felt that they could not withdraw from North Korea at all, but stay in North Korea and separate North Korea at the position of the 38th parallel, and then North Korea would belong to China and South Korea would belong to Japan, just as they did before the First Sino-Japanese War...

Or even simply go one step further and annex the whole of Korea and complete the first step of the 'great rejuvenation'...

It's just that just when Gao Wenshan gave the order to attack with some excitement, what happened later was obviously a little unexpected for Gao Wenshan. First of all, the number of defenders in Pyongyang is extremely large, almost two divisions, and far from one brigade in the original intelligence.

Of course, if it is only like this, it is nothing, although two divisions seem to be a lot, but the combination of Gao Wenshan and the other army is as many as six divisions, in addition to the two regiments of tank troops, and a large number of heavy firepower equipment, it is by no means impossible to take Pyongyang, especially ......... Especially since Pyongyang itself is not much prepared?

Well, after seeing the sudden extra pile of fortifications under the city of Pyongyang, Gao Wenshan retracted these words.

If none of this is bad, then the latter thing will definitely make the above thing even worse, that is, at the same time that they arrived at the city of Pyongyang at Golwin Mountain, their rear was suddenly cut off by a Japanese army, and the follow-up troops, although they attacked fiercely, were never able to open a breakthrough, and on both sides of Kovan Mountain, a large number of Japanese troops were surrounding, in other words, including the 17th Army, at least two corps of troops have now fallen into the Japanese encirclement.

If they can't break out of the encirclement as soon as possible, under the heavy encirclement of the Japanese army, it is difficult to say when they will run out of ammunition and food in Gao Wenshan.

And if it really becomes like that, then the one who takes the initiative to seek peace may become Yan Shao. After all, two armies, more than 100,000 people, even Yan Shao can't give up easily, and he can't give up so many people...

So, after getting the news, the whole presidential palace, and even the whole of China―――――― became chaotic, thanks to that damn freedom of the press.

After seeing the latest reports on the market, Yan Shao's first reaction was to strangle all those reporters to death! (To be continued......)
