Chapter 396 396-for-tat
On the evening of July 22, 1938.
The door to Lin Youde and Viola's shared office was opened.
It's either Nia-chan or a fox who will enter the door like this.
"Looks like there's a result?" Lin Youde raised his head, glanced at the fox, and then turned his head to glance at the clock in the corner, "The news came a little faster, it seems that you used the radio station at the risk of being discovered?" β
"That's right, the station is now being transferred and may not be available for a week." The fox said and threw the things in his hand in the middle of the large desk that Lin Youde and Viola used together, "Guess who the British sent as an envoy?" β
"Prime Minister Winston Churchill?" Viola guessed first, reaching for the telegram as she spoke, only to find that she couldn't reach it without standing up.
As soon as Viola stood up, Lin Youde took the telegram away with a bad heart, and quipped while taking it away: "Could it be that Isabella was sent?" Uh......"
Lin Youde rubbed his eyes and looked at the contents of the telegram again.
"I'm going, did I really send Isabella?"
"We're getting confirmation from the moles in London, but I guess it's me." The fox shrugged, "Don't ask me about the basis, it's my instinct." β
"Once Charlie joins the British and French sides, they are all alive." Lin Youde threw the telegram to Viola, leaned back in his chair, looked at the fox and said, "Counting the Shenji that Xia Li contained, you let go, the Anglo-French alliance will increase the combat effectiveness of two Shenji, whether it is to put pressure on the French Revolutionary Army on the front line of France, or to defend the rear of the British troops attacking the Netherlands, it can strictly affect the balance of victory." Therefore, Her Majesty the Queen's blood is understandable. β
"It doesn't matter if it's understandable or not," Viola tossed the telegram back on the table after just glancing at it, "what matters is how we deal with it." β
Lin Youde thought for a moment, and then asked the fox: "What is the success rate of our kidnapping Isabella?" β
"I think we can use all the airborne troops plus all the flying warriors, and if we count the combat effectiveness of me and Viola, we are about forty percent sure that we will succeed. Her Majesty brought her own armor, and as long as she was put on armor, we would fail, and she would surely be able to escape back to England. In addition, as soon as our magic armor is activated, the British goddess of Bremen can feel it to some extent, and it is basically impossible to keep it secret, so the success rate of actual implementation will be lower. β
"That means you can't kidnap her." Lin Youde pursed his lips, "It's probably impossible to convince Xia Li to help us detain her." β
"Luckily, Miss Charlie didn't decide to turn to England just because Isabella was there to persuade her. Judging from the fact that she took the initiative to reveal to us the news of the British envoy's visit at noon today, she should have been waiting for a better bid. The fox pursed her lips, "I really didn't misunderstand her, she is much more difficult to deal with than a simple girl like Sissi." β
Lin Youde leaned back on the chair and kept shaking the chair back and forth.
"What a better bid, I didn't see that Xia Li was a girl who would make such a decision when I visited France."
"You're patronizing and romanticizing." Viola complained angrily, "I bet you've been thinking with your lower body in front of her. β
Lin Youde smiled and didn't speak, and continued to look at the ceiling to consider countermeasures.
After getting the information that Xia Li took the initiative to disclose during the day, Lin Youde considered several bidding plans, but now in the face of the unexpected actions of the British, regardless of the benefits brought to Xia Li by these plans considered by Lin Youde for the time being, Lin Youde lost a move to the British just in terms of the sincerity shown.
In other words, under the condition that the two sides offered similar conditions, the British were far more advantageous than Lin Youde.
If you want to win Charlie's support, you must show the same sincerity as the British.
After thinking for a while, Lin Youde said: "I think that in the current situation, I should go to Lille. β
"No way!"
"Are you crazy?"
Viola and the fox reached an agreement in an instant this time, the two looked at each other, and then Viola took the lead and said: "Now I, the fox and Sissi must stay on the front line to fight against the threat of the British goddess, and even Theresia has to stay in Berlin and be ready to support the front line at any time." If you're going to Lille, there's no god to protect you. β
"And," said Viola, as soon as Viola's voice fell, "it is not necessary for you to go in person, and we will only have to propose a condition that is much higher than that of the English." β
"But what if the British also spend a lot of money on the offer?" Lin Youde asked rhetorically, "What if we can't give a higher price than the British at all?" So we should still show our sincerity. As for the guards, have you forgotten that we also have a god? Oh-chan doesn't like magic armor, so it can't be a combat force on the battlefield, so it's good for her to provide me with a guard. β
"But how are we going to communicate with Oh-chan?" Viola asked, "If you can't communicate, the guards can't talk about it, right?" What if she thinks she's just hanging out with you? β
"Have you forgotten your daughter, my dear queen. Since Ysera can convince Oh-chan to go to the battlefield with them, she can convince Oh-chan to provide me with an escort. And I think that when I talk to Oh-chan recently, I can get a certain amount of response. β
"Even so......" Viola disagreed, shaking her head constantly.
"In addition, Lille and we are both at peace at the moment, in fact, it is a neutral area, and it is not uncommon for representatives of the two warring countries to meet in neutral countries, right?"
"It's very common." The fox held his chin with a pensive look, "Xia Li will probably do her best to ensure your safety, dear, if the British side does something to you on Xia Li's territory, it will not give Xia Li face, and even be suspected of contempt for her." In that case, Xia Li will probably fall to our side. Isabella wasn't stupid enough to know that. β
"That's it." Lin Youde patted the table gently.
"Wait a minute, that's it!" Viola continued to raise her voice, "This decision is still too unsafe, even if Isabella doesn't do it, there are other forces that hate you who may take this opportunity to do it." And although Oh-chan is quite capable, he has never done such a thing as a guard, right? Does she really have what it takes to deal with an attack orchestrated by an experienced assassin? You must know that there are many leaders in this world who have been assassinated next to the god who served as a guard, such as Lincoln of the United States or something. β
Lin Youde stood up, walked around the desk, and stood behind Viola, hugging her neck with open arms.
"I'll be honest with you," Lin Youde whispered in Viola's ear, "I'm just taking the opportunity to have a romantic relationship with Her Majesty the Queen." β
Then Lin Youde saw the green tendons on Viola's forehead bulge all of a sudden, and he hurriedly explained before Viola broke out: "I mean, Isabella probably knows now that I may be the first god stallion in human history, so she will definitely be the first to come up and save me in Lille when I am in distress." β
"Yes, that's right, but there's a good chance she'll kidnap you in Lille as well. If you're kidnapped, it doesn't matter if Xia Li falls to our side or not. β
Lin Youde rubbed Viola's head with his nose, as if he intended to soften Viola's defense in this way.
At this time, the fox said: "Kidnapping is a very complicated matter and requires a lot of preparation, which means that my spy will probably give a warning before the kidnapping happens." Besides, with Oh-chan next to him, it should be more difficult to succeed in kidnapping or something. β
"You see, professional spy and kidnapping experts have said so."
Viola pouted, looking unhappy, but Lin Youde could see that her attitude had softened.
Finally, Viola sighed, "Do you really have to go?" β
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger." Lin Youde answered with Chinese colloquialisms, Viola has learned a lot of Chinese in the past two years, and must know the meaning of this sentence.
"Well, I can't say anything." Viola sighed again and added angrily, "How do you like it?" β
Lin Youde gently kissed Viola's cheek, then he straightened up and said to the fox, "Without further ado, the faster we move at this time, the less time the enemy will have to plan an assassination and kidnapping against me. You immediately secretly choose a crew and quietly give them a refueled Junkers 1. I'll take off tonight and fly straight to the airport in Lille. Half an hour after I took off, I informed the Lille personnel that I was flying to Lille and told SΓΉ Charlie that I was flying to Lille. β
"Understood."
The fox said and immediately turned away.
After the fox left, Lin Youde glanced at Viola and said, "Now I'll go to Ysera and ask her to help convince Oh-chan to be a guard." β
"You don't have to tell me about your actions." Viola still looked unhappy, "I said, you can do whatever you like." β
Lin Youde could only pout, then turned around and left the office.
Soon, he found Isera, Nia, and Oh-chan in the children's room for the little ones.
"Daddy!" Nia shouted when she saw Lin Youde enter the door, but as soon as she finished shouting, she yawned a lot, and the sleepiness on her face was obvious.
Ysera looked in good spirits.
"What's wrong, Dad? We're getting ready for bed, are you here to tell us a bedtime story? β
"No, I'm here for your help with something Isera." As he spoke, Lin Youde put his mouth on Isera's ear and muttered a few words.
Normally, Nia would definitely squeeze in to listen to her sister and father's whispers, but this time Nia was really sleepy, and her eyelids were almost unbearable.
After listening to Lin Youde's words, Ysera replied seriously: "Yes, but, Dad, can't I follow?" β
"You don't have much combat ability like me, and if you go, it means that Oh-chan will have to be responsible for the safety of the two of us." Lin Youde touched his daughter's head and said softly, "Don't worry, when you grow up a little more, you will have the opportunity to contact national affairs." β
Ysera nodded vigorously.
