Chapter 1042 1042 Update II of No. 28
"Speaking of which, is it okay to leave Egypt like this?" After talking for a while, Viola cut into the topic of the international situation without warning, "In another time and space, the attack of the British and French forces and Israel was stopped by the joint intervention of the United States and the Soviet Union, right?" β
Lin Youde nodded.
In another time and space, the Anglo-French coalition was in a no-man's land in Egypt, and Egypt had no way to resist the aggression of the two old imperialist countries, so it could only turn to the international community for intervention. At that time, the United States and the Soviet Union did not want to see Britain, France and Israel regain control of the Suez Canal, so they exerted strong pressure on Britain and France to force them to withdraw their troops from Egypt.
"Indeed, it is in our interests that a Suez Canal that does not belong to the Great Powers," Lin Youde looked thoughtful, "and the American side probably has the same attitude, and the reason why they have not come forward so far is the same as the reason why we have not come forward." We are concerned with our ally, France, and they are concerned about the feelings of Britain. β
Different from another time and space, in addition to Israel, the two countries that invaded Egypt in another time and space are countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, so it is relatively simple to intervene, and Britain and France belong to different camps in this time and space, once the United States or Germany wants to intervene, the person being interfered with will immediately point to the opposite side and say, "Look at how good the other brother's brother is, you are good, and turn your elbow outward."
Moreover, the division of the two camps in another time and space involves ideology, and wanting to change camps generally means a reshuffle in the domestic political situation, and no ruling class will want the camp to shuffle, so the camp division in another time and space is relatively stable, only China is an exception, but China is in a state of dissociation, or in other words, China has a heart to be a big brother, so it is impossible to be a part of any camp.
Speaking of which, there is a Cold War themed board game called "Cold War Hot Fight" in another time and space, in which there is a special card called China Card, which has to be given to the other party after playing, which is a description of the state of China in the Cold War by the designer of this game.
To put it bluntly, the pan-humanist revolution in this time and space is essentially a bourgeois revolution mixed with elements of proletarian revolution, and its main role is to clean up the remnants of feudalism that can be sustained because of the existence of the gods.
As soon as the bourgeois revolution was completed, it directly entered the post-war stage when the bourgeoisie began to advocate a welfare society and reconciled the contradictions between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
In Lin Youde's view, during the period when the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat was most acute, relying on the feudal remnants of Shenji to act as the backbiter.
From this point of view, the capitalists of this time and space have to thank those princes and nobles.
Back to Egypt, both Germany and the United States were worried that the eldest brother would not help the younger brother, so they chose to wait and see what happened for the time being, but in the end, they certainly could not hand over Suez to the two old imperialist countries, so it was only a matter of time before they took action. But both Germany and the United States are waiting for the moment to intervene.
"And this time, I intend to leave the matter to the German government." Lin Youde spread his hands to Viola, "If they can't even deal with this, their ability is too low." In addition, as an entrepreneur, I always feel that something is wrong when I get involved in international politics. Although I was involved in the development of the UN Charter, I was a consultant hired by the German government at that time. This time, the German government did not hire me as a diplomatic adviser, so I don't have to worry about that. β
"Actually, you just think that Egypt is good and can attract international attention, right?" The fox said with a smile.
"That's right!" Lin Youde decisively admitted, "As long as international attention is focused on this second Middle East war, our actions in the Persian Gulf will receive even less attention, and we can achieve our goal of making a lot of money in silence." β
The fox showed an expression of "sure enough", and then changed his words: "Speaking of the names of the Chinese countries in the Persian Gulf, do you have eyebrows?" β
"No, the last thing I've been good at in my life is coming up with names." Lin Youde said with a painful face, "Every time a new daughter is born, I have to worry about the name for a long time, not to mention that this time it is the name of the country." It is too difficult to reflect the location of the country and the dominant nation at the same time, and it must also be pleasing to the ear. β
Lin Youde has thought of several names, such as the Persian Gulf Chinese Republic, the Two Rivers Chinese Republic, etc., all of which look too earthy.
"It's better to open up for names." Viola said, "After collecting names, everyone votes for them, so no one can complain about any name, right?" β
"I really can't do it, so that's the only way to do it."
Lin Youde shrugged.
"The name is just a code name, so it doesn't matter how you call it." The fox had a disapproving expression, "Anyway, no matter what it's called, we have to control the oil in the Persian Gulf, and the money burned by your aerospace project is all counting on the oil in the Persian Gulf." β
Lin Youde once wondered what would happen if the oil in the Persian Gulf was not squandered at the hands of the hereditary feudal lords, but was invested as money in human deep space exploration. Now he finally had time to put it to the test and see how it worked.
What would happen if human deep space exploration had been supported by ample and unrequited funding, and the answer to this hypothesis would one day be revealed in this space-time.
But the premise is that Lin Youde wants to grasp the oil in the Persian Gulf.
In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to establish a solid state in the Persian Gulf, and this country must be completely in the hands of Lin Youde.
"Aren't you thinking about going to the Persian Gulf region to be an emperor or something?" The fox smiled and said, "You see, we control the land in the Persian Gulf, Iran in the north has a royal family, Saudi Arabia in the south is also a kingdom, and Jordan between Israel and the west is also a kingdom, all of which are land with kings. β
"The Emperor of the Earth." The pun seemed to capture Sissi's laughter, making her cover her mouth and chuckle.
To be an emperor in a place full of yellow sand is not the emperor of soil?
Lin Youde also considered what the fox said, but after thinking about it, he still gave up the idea of going to the Lianghe River Valley to be the emperor. After all, the next forty years or so will belong to the era of politicians, diplomats and spies, and the emperor is too outdated, not to mention that Lin Youde is not much different from the emperor now, in addition to not being able to make up the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts.
What's more, the natural environment of the two river basins, he Lin Youde is still insensitive to him, and he doesn't want to play the idyllic song of the rich areas of Europe, and go to be with the Gobi Desert, no matter how you look at this choice, it will be a big loss.
Before the crossing, Lin Youde didn't understand the move of the rich to buy a house in Dubai, so what about Dubai, where is the natural environment, to choose Lin Youde, Lin Youde would rather buy a house next to the Mediterranean Sea than go to Dubai.
Lin Youde now owns a number of properties in Europe, and although SchΓΆnbrunn Palace has been opened to the public as a museum, he still has several elegant and beautiful residences to live in, any of which is better than the royal palace in Baghdad.
"Desert," Viola said, reposing herself, now taking up the entire couch like a worm, "I don't want to go there anymore since my last cruise to the desert." What did the Mesopotamians think back then, to settle in such a hot and arid place, I would never do it. β
"When the Mesopotamians settled in the valley of the two rivers, the area was not so arid, and it was because human cultivation destroyed the surface ecology that the drought intensified."
"Thank you for your science, my dear, I don't want to stay in that place anyway. If you go there and become king, my dear, I will be your agent in Europe with peace of mind, although it will be lonely, but it can only be so. β
Viola said as she writhed on the couch.
Sissi nodded at this time and agreed: "I've always lived in that kind of place, I think I'm not used to it, in fact, since I was stationed in Russia for a few years, my resistance to the heat has decreased, and it is very uncomfortable in the summer......"
"That's because you've always dressed formally, in the summer," complained the fox, "and you've been told to wear short-sleeved shirts and skirts like us, but you insist on wearing a military uniform, and you deserve to get prickly heat." β
"Prickly heat?" Lin Youde couldn't help frowning, "Sissi?" β
"Yes, she has a lot of prickly heat on her chest in the summer, didn't you notice it when you hit her chest, my dear?"
"No, I patronized and rubbed it, I didn't look ......at it carefully," Lin Youde touched his chin, "Now that I think about it, it seems that the color is indeed a little unnatural, but then again, how can I get prickly heat when I am an adult......"
"It's no wonder that she wears so thick clothes and doesn't have prickly heat. And it's not like she doesn't like to blow air conditioners......"
As the fox spoke, Sissi turned her head to look out the window, as if trying to avoid the topic, and the fox had to sigh and end the topic for the time being.
Viola also turned her head to look out the window.
"The snow is so heavy," she said, "that you can't cut down the Christmas tree like this, can you?" β
"Don't worry about that, the tree will be delivered from somewhere else in the afternoon." Lin Youde said.
"This heavy snow reminds me of winter in Russia."
As soon as Sissi finished speaking, Viola said, "Yes, the sound of the whirring wind and the fluttering of snow flakes the size of goose feathers are exactly the same as the winter in Russia. β
"Thank goodness that you don't have to be on alert for enemy attacks in this weather. Peace is awesome. β
"That's right, peace is awesome."
"Cheers to peace!"
Lin Youde looked at the wives who suddenly fell into the collective memory of the battlefield, and couldn't help but thank them in his heart for their efforts in the war. R1148
