It had been three days since Lin Youde heard the contents of the tape.

"I see." Lin Youde put his hands on the table and crossed his fingers, "That's why those three families will openly oppose Christina, so that many problems can be explained." No wonder they haven't been able to contact us, because they don't think they can win without us helping them. ”

As soon as Lin Youde's voice fell, the fox said: "They should be worried that if they ask for help now, they will become puppets of Germany when the war is over, so they want to prevent us from participating in the civil war." ”

Lin Youde leaned back in his chair and looked at the ceiling: "If that is the case, in the future, France may become a country that believes in panhumanism, but is not under our control." I don't like that, history has long taught us that the same faith does not prevent two nations from killing each other. ”

"Indeed, in order to prevent this from happening, it would be better for us to quietly disclose the contents of this tape to the British spies that we have discovered." "The British certainly don't like the old enemy across the Channel to become a pan-humanist state, and they will think that in this way France and Germany have formed a de facto alliance." So the British will definitely relay the news to Christina as soon as possible, so that Christina can take action against those capitalists first. ”

"That's an idea." Lin Youde sat in his position and continued to look at the ceiling, he thought for a while before shaking his head slightly, "This is not appropriate, if we adopt this plan, Christina, who has enough military funds to maintain the war, will have enough time to use the wheel war to consume all the gods of the three families into empty shells." There is no suspense about the outcome of the war.

"More importantly, it would throw the French economy into an abyss from which it will never recover, and I don't think Cristina and her ministers will be able to reverse that decline. Under these circumstances, if Russia were to attack us, France would most likely stab us in the back and relieve the economic pressure at home by plundering Germany's resources and wealth. ”

The fox thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

Lin Youde continued to follow his train of thought: "So we can't let Christina know the news, without Christina's knowledge, the direction of the civil war will become ...... Chihiro, have you ever estimated how long Christina can last on her own? ”

"Well, I asked the analysis department to give a rough estimate, and the lads all think that with the current level of trust in Christina's faction, the moment the capitalists turn against her, the franc will collapse, and she may have to pay the military pay with the franc coins that are still in circulation, and the reserves of these gold and silver coins are already limited, and Christina may have to take out the gold she has swallowed to mint coinage, and the analysis department expects that this gold should provide a month's salary for Christina's army."

Lin Youde raised his index finger at the fox and waved it left and right: "If Christina were smarter, she would use a relatively strong foreign currency to pay for the military, such as paper marks, or pounds sterling from across the sea." Although there will be a series of troubles in the future, it can solve the current problem. ”

If Cristina used foreign currency to pay for her military salaries, she would be happiest if the country provided the currency, and when the civil war was over, a large number of GIs with pounds or paper marks in their hands would come out of France, and they would try their best to use the money, and the merchants would have to accept payments in pounds or paper marks in order to do business with these GIs.

This means that for several years, France will not be able to completely get rid of its dependence on paper marks or pounds, and Germany and Britain, which issue these currencies, will definitely take the opportunity to do one thing or another to France.

After listening to Lin Youde's words, the fox looked up at the ceiling, and then said, "I don't think Christina will use paper marks anyway, because then she will have to ask us for a loan, which means that we will get an excellent opportunity to intervene in the French civil war." The pound is a possibility. However, it is doubtful how much she can borrow from the United Kingdom, which is not very comfortable now. ”

"That's right, so it's likely that Christina will only pay a few elite henchmen, and then try to use her numerical superiority in the gods to win the war with the cooperation of these troops - whether she uses gold coins or pounds, she can only do that, this is the only way she can win."

Lin Youde paused, picked up the teacup and took a sip before continuing: "Correspondingly, the three opposition families can mobilize regular troops as much as possible, surround and beat the army that is still loyal to Christina, and use the advantage of strength to force Christina to dispatch Shenji to maintain the battle line of the regular troops to protect the logistics base of the magic guide armor. In this way, the two sides will form a stalemate, Christina can't concentrate all the power of the god to end the war quickly, but her strength is still stronger than the three families, so the god queen of the three families can only resist desperately, and there is no time to take care of anything else. And Christina's regular troops, supported by Shenji, won't be crushed so quickly. The battle will end when Christina has exhausted the last bit of supplies and pay. ”

Lin Youde snapped his fingers, and there was a little excitement on his face.

"Remember what I said before, after the French are divided into two factions and fight exhausted, there is no guarantee that no one will jump out and take advantage of the fire."

"Well, as you said, I remember making a joke...... Think about what I was kidding...... Hmmm......"

Lin Youde ignored the fox, and continued: "If this deduction continues, if Christina is overshadowed, when the French Civil War ends, the gods and queens who participated in the war on both sides will be in a state of exhaustion, and it is just the time when the fisherman comes out to pick up the bargain." ”

Lin Youde stood up and walked towards the map.

"It doesn't matter if the three families are disobedient after the victory, we can take advantage of the weakness of this French goddess to conquer France in one fell swoop."

"Well, then there is no question of whether the French are obedient or not." The fox also came to the map and stared at the French part with Lin Youde, "But where are we going to attack France?" If you go from Belgium like in the last war, you will directly meet Miss Charlie, who is sitting on the mountain in Lille and watching the tiger fight. ”

"yes, so we can't go down that path." Lin Youde crossed his hands over his chest and said thoughtfully, "Unless it's an extreme situation, I don't want to have a direct conflict with Miss Xia Li." ”

"After all, you're still thinking about other people's boobs." The fox teased, and immediately changed to a serious tone, "But if we don't go through Belgium and the Netherlands, how can we break through the Maginot Line on the German-French border?" ”

"No," Lin Youde said to the fox with a misleading expression, "we will still be able to pass through Guò Belgium, but we will bypass Lille, where Charlie is. ”

The fox raised an eyebrow, and then began to move his gaze along the dividing line between France and Belgium on the map, looking for a breakthrough area that met Lin Youde's requirements.

At this time, Lin Youde said: "Do you know that on the border between Belgium and Luxembourg, there is an area called the Ardennes Forest? ”

**

In the afternoon of the same day, when Lin Youde went to visit Sissi, he told Viola and Sissi about the decision he had discussed with the fox for a morning.

Sissi closed her eyes slightly, looking like she was closing her eyes to recuperate, but Lin Youde knew that she was just convincing herself to suppress the little chivalry that still had in her heart.

Viola stared at Lin Youde directly, silently pressuring Lin Youde with her eyes.

This state lasted for a long time, and the room was silent.

Almost as soon as Sissi opened her eyes, Viola said to Lin Youde, "Do you remember that night in Munich many years ago? In that pitiful house, which is now small in retrospect, you told me that Germany would be doomed in the future by starting a war on its own initiative. You, who later became an adviser, promised me that you would do your utmost to prevent Germany from becoming the initiator of the war. Do you remember all this? ”

"Of course I do." Lin Youde walked to Viola's desk, supported the desktop with both hands, lowered his head, and stared at the desktop, "But I have to admit now that I was too confident at that time." Now, I fully understand the feelings of Mr. Schlieffen who formulated the Schlieffen Plan. Germany, sandwiched between France and Russia, is like cream in the middle of a sandwich biscuit. No wonder they wanted a preventive war to relieve Germany of the threat of fighting on two fronts. ”

Viola was silent for a few seconds before sighing: "I don't mean to blame you, I also know that in the face of the Russian threat, we need to ensure the safety of the rear as much as possible." Only, is there no other option than an armed attack? The current opposition three families in France should nominally support panhumanism, right? Wouldn't it be good to make an alliance with them as originally planned? ”

"If they come to contact us immediately after the showdown with Christina, I will definitely prioritize an alliance with them." Lin Youde's voice was also quite helpless, "But they didn't, they didn't send anyone at all." ”

At this time, the fox said: "From the information I have received, the disappearance of some openly active NERV French branch personnel in the days after the showdown is eighty percent related to these three families. ”

"That's just speculation, anyway, right?"

"In intelligence work, both guesswork and intuition are important. The purpose of obtaining information is to ensure that we have a head start, so in many cases, we cannot wait for definite evidence to be available. The fox's rhetoric is quite high-sounding.

Viola held on for another ten seconds, and finally sighed.

"Well, you convinced me. But I have another thing to worry about, Belgium is a British protectorate. Viola deliberately accentuated the tone of the word "protectorate", "In the last war, Britain could have stayed out of the matter, and it was because the Schlieffen plan had to go through Belgium that Britain entered the war in anger." This time......"

"Believe me," Lin Youde interrupted his wife's words, "after the last war, as long as the German army enters French territory, no matter which way we take, Britain will enter the war." ”
