"A vast Russia is an insurmountable continental obstacle between East Asia and Western Europe, and then policy should be shifted to turning enemies into friends with Russia or at least neutralizing it, and the empire should expand its sphere of power southward as much as possible."

"Therefore, I believe that the future strategy of the empire should first use the strength of our strong army to force Russia to spend a lot of resources on the defense of Siberia and Central Asia, so that Germany can let go of Britain and France in Western Europe, and China can take the opportunity to deal with the power of Britain and France in the South Seas, Australia, and India, and even advance to the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean."

"After that, it is probably Germany that rules Western Europe, China rules most of Asia, Russia across Eastern Europe and North Asia is the land buffer between China and Germany, the United States rules the North and South American continents, and after the annihilation of the power of Britain and France, China, Germany, Russia, and the United States can carve up the African continent together, and Russia's strength is weak.

"If the above strategy evolves smoothly, the world will inevitably form three major forces: the Sino-Russian alliance, the Germanic European and Pan-American alliance, and constitute a relatively balanced new order in the world world......"

Zhong Xiahuo's voice was enough to shatter the glass window: "Nonsense, what is the new order of the world?" The Empire leads the whole world, and the new order is true! Now is the great opportunity to carve up Russia with Germany and Turkey......"

"You are an idiot to be an English and French! Fifty years ago, when Russia just wanted to stretch its bear's paw into the Mediterranean, Britain and France hit his Crimean Peninsula thousands of miles away, forcing his Black Sea Fleet to sink itself, and demolishing his Sevastopol, causing his tsar to commit suicide. ”

"Can they now watch Germany swallow up all of Eastern Europe and become the unrivaled absolute hegemon of the continent? Can Britain, France, and the United States watch our country annex North Asia and Central Asia and become a behemoth that sits on half of Asia, is incomparable to other countries in terms of population, territory, and resources, and has infinitely expanded expansion ambitions? ”

"Now the East Asian Alliance has dealt a heavy blow to Russia, not only killing and wounding 570,000 enemies, capturing 260,000 enemies, seizing a large number of supplies, destroying most of the strong fortresses that Russia spent more than ten years and spending huge sums of money to build in the Far East, but also completely annihilated Russia's First and Second Pacific Fleets, sank and captured more than 300,000 tons of Russian warships, and recovered a territory that is wider than the total mainland area of Britain, France, Germany, and Austria, including Hokkaido. The powerful military strength and war potential of the East Asian Alliance, which have been revealed by this war, are bound to arouse the attention and uneasiness of the European and American powers! ”

"Britain and the United States have recently suspended the sale of large hydraulic presses and key precision machine tools to our country," Zhang Jian, Minister of Industry and Commerce, lifted the black bow tie around his neck, "The German side has also shelved the motion on the transfer of complete sets of chemical production equipment, and some key technical equipment necessary for the development of the petroleum industry and the power industry are hindered by imports. It would take 5 to 10 years to develop the same level of equipment on our own based on our existing industrial base and technological capabilities. ”

"So what? What matters is the current situation! The empire now has millions of soldiers on the front line in Baikal and Balkhash, and the enemy army on the opposite side is disheartened and vulnerable, and Britain and France are a fart? The Germans alone will be enough to stop them......"

Zhang Jian maintained his usual Confucian businessman-style open-minded expression: "Germany is part of the European banking group that supports Russia, and none of the European powers wants Russia to collapse, and once the Russian Revolution succeeds, it will inevitably affect the stability of the whole of Europe. ”

At this moment, Chen Siguang was unhappy: "The Kaiser's attitude towards China is basically friendly, and the so-called Yellow Peril is only a show for Britain and France to dispel the vigilance of Britain and France, and Germany has never intended to make enemies with China, and last year Germany also tested us, and Sino-German cooperation has a realistic and future strategic foundation......

Hook sneered: "Your Excellency the Foreign Minister may have forgotten how the Germans came to test at that time, as soon as they opened their mouths, they said that they wanted to lease the naval base, preferably Jiaozhou Bay, and at the very least, Keelung Port, even the British and French of the Daoguang and Xianfeng dynasties were not so arrogant!" At all, we still regard our country as an object that can be played and slaughtered at will!

Chen Siguang insisted on his own opinion: "After this war, the German government and the opposition have fully realized the potential of the empire, and China should make full use of the influence of this war to reach an offensive and defensive mutual assistance alliance with Germany, and when the time is ripe, it will naturally be possible to realize the Sino-German plan for dividing up Russia proposed by His Excellency the Chief ......of the General Staff."

"Now is the ripe time!" Zhong Xiahuo shouted.

"It's time for internal affairs." Luo Sulan shook her head.

"The purpose of the war has been achieved, there was no plan to annex Siberia before the war, and there was no preparation for war with Britain and France, and at present our naval strength is simply not enough to resist the expeditionary fleet that Britain and France may send." Hook's patience was far from exhausted.

Zhong Xiahuo refused to give up: "As long as Germany is dragged into the water, Britain and France will send a fart expeditionary fleet!" ”

"Germany's current naval strength is simply not enough to contain Britain and France." Hook said.

"The Army, the Army, should encourage Germany to go to war now against Britain and France!"

"The timing is not right, Germany is not ready, no, the contradictions between Germany and Britain and France are far from being resolvable, and now if Germany wants to fight Britain and France, the Germans will kick us out of the door."

"If you don't try, how can you know the way!"

"Whoever wants to bring humiliation on himself can try it himself."

Chen Siguang finally interjected: "Now is indeed not the time, the structure of the Sino-German alliance needs time, we must fully express our country's peace will to Europe and the United States on the basis of ensuring a peace treaty, and then look for an opportunity to test the will of the German side. ”

Zhong Xiahuo was still talking to himself: "Why would Britain and France stand up for Russia? Russia has lost Siberia, won't it be more focused on the European aspect? It can also be used by Britain and France to deal with German ...... together"

Hook sneered: "So, if China cedes Xinjiang and Inner and Outer Mongolia to Russia, China will inevitably focus more on Pacific affairs?" Siberia is as important to Russia as Xinjiang and Mongolia are to China, if not too much. I would like to stress one more point, in the future, Russia should no longer be regarded as our enemy, and carving up Russia with the European powers is tantamount to digging its own grave, and the focus of China's future strategy should never be to expand its territory without limits, what really matters is to break the existing colonial system, and through the suppression of Britain and France, to construct a balanced and diversified new order in the world, in addition, it is the right way to concentrate resources to build a homeland of more than 12 million square kilometers! Please note that the three northeastern provinces, which are vast and fertile, have less than 6 million residents! Of the newly recovered more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land, there are only 1.5 million remaining residents, that is to say, there is only one person per kilometer of land on average, and about 6.7 million square kilometers of them are comparable to the black soil of the Northeast Plain! Under such a premise, instead of spending huge manpower and material resources and risking the danger of being blocked by the great powers, it is better to save military funds for infrastructure construction in inhospitable areas, attract a large number of immigrants, develop the local economy, and make the frontiers also a source of income for the state treasury, which is the essence of the purpose of launching this war! The idea of immediately advancing a million-strong army to the Urals, even without taking into account the international situation or even the resistance of the other side, the cost of maintaining basic supplies alone would be enough to bankrupt the current debt-ridden government! ”

"If you have money to contribute, you can make a strong contribution, this is a 10,000-year project for the benefit of future generations, and it will be a time to suffer, and with Siberia, you don't have to worry about breeding to 2 billion people!"

"Fallacy! It doesn't matter if you occupy the whole world and multiply to 10 billion people......"

"Enough! Shut up! Liu Yun couldn't bear it.

Chiba served the freshly brewed coffee in due time.

"Thank you." Zhang Jian was polite.

"Please bring me a glass of boiled water." Zhong Xiahuo held back his strength in front of his "Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess" and wanted to pretend to be a gentleman. On Liu Yun's birthday, hearing Zhong Xiahuo call Liu Qianhua "eldest princess, eldest princess", Luo Sulan almost didn't laugh anymore.

"Two glasses of boiled water, thank you." Hook said.

The aromatic coffee, the delightful lady of the duke, the atmosphere is only a superficial impression of hypocritically turning.

Liu Yun waited patiently until each of the important ministers' lips touched the coffee.

"It's completely off topic, today we will only discuss the Siam issue, and the issues that have nothing to do with it will be raised at a special meeting, and if you are not in a hurry, you can directly submit a written report to me, and here is it today, the meeting is dismissed!"

Zhong Xiahuo was still reluctant, and Hook and Luo Sulan were left and right, half-pushing and half-squeezing him out of the house.

Liu Yun pressed his forehead tiredly, and his back, which was no longer strong, sank deep into the back of the sofa.

Qian Hua took out her own small inlaid handkerchief from the pocket of her apron and pressed it on her father's slightly wet forehead.

"See, that's the reality." Liu Yun simply closed his eyes.

"Disagreements are there there, and it's safer to be able to show them than to hide them in the bottom of your heart." Qianhua put away the handkerchief and turned around to find medicine for Liu Yun.

"What do you think?"

"Strategy? I'm just your daughter. ”

"Whatever you want, I want to know how far you can go."

"Forget it."

"Not confident? It's not like my daughter. ”

Qianhua's hand holding the medicine box trembled nervously.

Liu Yun still closed his eyes and did not move, like a mountain.

"Nothing ......"

"Then let's say, what do you think of today's fight?"

"Well, I'll just talk nonsense...... Take your medicine first. ”

Small white pills, transparent glass, transparent water, and, black and white, opaque daughters......
