After Lin Youde stayed in France for a few days, he soon formulated a suppression plan for the Mediterranean, with the French Navy and Army and the former Italian Navy as the main body.

According to this plan, after the Luftwaffe deployment in the Mediterranean in September 1941, the Allied naval fleet would go all out, with the British base in Malta preferred.

The Allies planned to use one German paratrooper division and two French divisions to carry out a landing operation, and in one fell swoop to occupy this important British base in the central Mediterranean, when the British air force would be completely driven out of the ****** Channel, and at the same time, it would also mean that the British Mediterranean route would be cut off again. The Confederates would then land in Sicily, and once Sicily was charged, the security of the Allied sea routes to North Africa would be completely secured, and then the Allied ground forces would advance towards Libya to crush the forces loyal to the Papal States or other powers, and then drive the British out of the eastern coast of Libya that they had occupied.

This will be followed by an Allied ground force attack on Egypt, with the Allied naval and air forces occupying Alexandria, and then threatening the Suez Canal.

The entire combat operation was divided into three phases, the first of which began in September 1941 and was expected to be fully completed by October 1942.

As an adjunct to this plan, the Ming Empire Navy in the Persian Gulf was to be dispatched to intercept the British convoys transporting the Anzac and Indian Legions.

After formulating the battle plan, Lin Youde and Xia Li signed an agreement to establish the "Mediterranean Theater Command of the Human Innovation Alliance", stipulating the command sequence, and then he was ready to leave for home.

On August 1, 1941, Xia Li held a dinner party for Lin Youde in her mansion.

**

"The key to the battle is whether or not the British Navy's Mediterranean Fleet can be defeated." Lin Youde's big-bellied Frenchman in front of him talked eloquently, "The Royal Navy is certainly very strong, and the captains of the Mediterranean Fleet are experienced old fritters, but we are not inferior to them, we have a number of newly built battleships in France and Italy, these battleships are equipped with the latest guns, and the best observation and shooting command system, and the combat effectiveness is very strong." And the morale of our navy is very high. ”

Lin Youde listened to the Frenchman silently, and then he suddenly noticed Xia Li walking towards the door between the dance venue and the terrace.

So Lin Youde said "sorry for missing me" to the Frenchman who was still talking, and walked to the terrace.

When he got out of the terrace, he immediately saw Xia Li leaning against the railing to blow the wind, so he walked towards Xia Li.

"You're thinking so fast." Xia Li said without looking back, "Have you been paying attention to me?" ”

"I've been keeping an eye out for all the beautiful ladies at the ball." Lin Youde gave a full answer, "You happen to be one of them." ”

"How are you sure that I'm waiting for you on the terrace, Mr. Love?" Xia Li turned around and faced Lin Youde, leaning her back against the railing and resting her elbows on the railing. She gave Lin Youde a trademark bright smile.

"It doesn't matter who you're waiting for, the key is that I arrived first, even if the lucky one who got your favor comes now, he won't dare to show his face."

"You're so confident."

Lin Youde came to Xia Li's side with a smile and leaned on the railing: "Speaking of which, it doesn't seem like the first time we've had a secret meeting on the terrace like this, and when I first returned to France to visit Wèn, it seemed that we had been chatting here for a long time." ”

"Yes, this is the terrace, the owner of which was then Miss Christina, who has now become a sinner in the civil war, a traitor who betrayed the interests of France to England, her family has been shattered, and the once glorious family coat of arms is now dimmed. History really likes to play tricks on people. Xia Li said with emotion, "I also considered changing the building to make a mansion, but I felt that it was like escaping." ”

"We have a saying in China that it is better to believe it than to believe it, and this house may really be cursed." Lin Youde overlooked the French garden below the terrace, he vaguely heard the voice of a girl in the garden maze in the garden, it seemed that there was a young young lady playing the game of "push you down if you find it" in the maze, after knowing this, Lin Youde had the illusion that the oncoming wind was mixed with the breath of hormones.

After the two were silent for a while, Xia Li said: "I have mixed feelings about the new battle plan, on the one hand, I hope that France will be invincible, but on the other hand, I don't want the southern faction to make too much political capital in this matter. They are already very strong and difficult to deal with, and with the support of a large number of officers, I really have no hope of turning the tables. ”

"Then you can come and be my concubine."

"Unless you let me have a daughter, I'll think about it." Xia Li paused, and then said, "And you haven't ascended the throne, where is the concubine?" According to the German constitution, you are now actually guilty of bigamy, right? ”

"The constitution is used to regulate human beings and human marriages, and it does not care about the children of destiny and demigods."

Xia Li smiled: "You are so arrogant, you will lower your impression of the girl." ”

"So your impression of me has decreased?"

"No, I'm used to it."

"That's fine," Lin Youde turned his head to look at Xia Li's side face, "I've searched the entire prom venue, and I'm only interested in you as a woman who doesn't belong to me yet." ”

"Thank you."

At this time, there was a girl's exclamation from the labyrinth below, followed by a burst of girlish laughter, it seems that the little master has found a beautiful noble lady, and then they are going to do something embarrassing in a corner of the labyrinth.

Lin Youde opened his voice and shouted to the maze in French with an authentic Parisian accent: "Don't be so loud when you do it, two." ”

Xia Li couldn't laugh next to her, and while laughing, she slapped Lin Youde's waist with her hand.

After a while, the girl ran out of the maze with the wide hem of the long skirt, and ran quickly to the first floor of the brightly lit mansion with her head down, and then the unhappy boy walked out of the maze, he looked up and shouted to the two people on the terrace: "Who spoils my good deeds!" Come down, I'm going to duel you! ”

"You won't want to fight me, because if you kill me, your entire family will be wiped out by my angry dependents." Lin Youde deliberately responded in an arrogant tone.

"You! Do you know who I am? I'm already engaged to Miss Shenki, the fifth-ranked lady in France! You ......"

"Really? Believe me, just a goddess can't beat my family. ”

"Presumptuous! Come on, go on, that impudent guy on the terrace and drag me out! The little young master stamped his feet and loudly ordered the attendants guarding the entrance to the mansion next to him.

"I'm sorry, young master of the Sardora," the waiter's steady voice drifted up the terrace with the night breeze, "I'm afraid we won't be able to meet your request." ”

"What? You...... Wait a minute," the angry young master seemed to realize something, he looked up at the terrace, and asked loudly, "You, who are you?" ”

"I didn't even report my home before asking others to sign up, and now it's really the world."

"I'm going to hurt you to say that." Xia Li finally spoke, "Although there are indeed more and more such uneducated children in high society now. It seems that there is one more reason to raise taxes on the upper class and the wealthy. ”

The young master seemed to recognize Xia Li's voice at once, and his face instantly became distorted under the light from the mansion.

"Miss Charlie? That's, that's ...... next to you."

"Secretary General of the President of the German Republic, Supreme Commander of the German Headquarters of NERV." Lin Youde reported both titles fluently in German.

The little young master was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "I'm sorry, I don't know ......"

"Okay, get out of here, don't disturb my interest."

As soon as Lin Youde's words fell, the young master, who was still arrogant just now, ran away.

Lin Youde and Xia Li glanced at each other, and then laughed together.

"Look at the way he ran away at the end!"

"I think he's peeing his pants eighty percent."

After laughing, Xia Li cleared her throat and said to Lin Youde: "Mr. Lin Youde, do you want to play hide and seek with me?" ”

Of course Lin Youde knew what Xia Li meant, the so-called hide and seek means that Xia Li entered the maze first, and then Lin Youde went in to find him, and after finding it, of course, according to the "convention", he had to do something embarrassing, just like the pair just now.

Lin Youde glanced at the maze, shook his head and said, "I've tried many times surrounded by greenery, let's make it more exciting." ”

Saying that, Lin You took Xia Li's hand, pulled her to the side of the terrace, and let her stand on the pillar between the two floor-to-ceiling windows, through which she could see the grand scene of the dance inside, and many people chatting with wine glasses stood not far from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and their expressions could be clearly seen through the windows.

The music and voices of the dance party continued to reach the two of them through the open windows.

"You mean...... Over here? Xia Li frowned slightly, "This ......"

Lin Youde noticed that Xia Li's breathing was short, and her chest was rising and falling regularly, judging from his years of experience, Xia Li was already excited.

So Lin Youde lowered his head and kissed Xia Li's lips.

The girl's arm that was gently pushing his chest gradually let go of the power, and Lin Youde regarded this as a sign that the girl completely agreed.

So Lin Youde slowly moved the hand that was holding Xia Li's shoulder downward.

At this time, Xia Li smiled and whispered, "Since I got involved with you, I feel that my discipline is disappearing at a rapid pace. ”

"It's normal, just throw it away." Lin Youde said and kissed Xia Li again, and at this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lydia sitting next to the dance floor, looking at the people dancing on the dance floor with a lonely face, and Sophie was sitting on Lydia's lap, happily eating cake.

Because she had to take Sophie with her, Lydia barely danced tonight, and Lin Youde was thinking about making up for Lydia at night, while opening Xia Lily's "shell".
