"What do you think about the Russians' readiness to rebuild the fortress? You should be no less aware of the Russians here than we are in Beijing. Zhang Yiye glanced obliquely at the vast field outside the window: the autumn wind was rising, the grass was yellow, and the villages along the road were in ruins.

"What's the matter, let them build it, and there are fortresses that we can't take?" Liang Tianhe took a breath of wine and said disapprovingly.

"Besides, if you were a strategic decision-maker on the Russian side, how would you prepare for a possible Second World War between China and Russia?"

Zhang Yiye pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "It is likely that a strong fortress group with full self-sufficiency will be built on the Chita-Ulan-Ude-Irkutsk line, and the main forces destined for the east will be gathered on the line from Novosibirsk to the Ural Mountains, and to the east we can cut off the attack route of our Mongolian Front, forcibly support the Far East fortresses, and to the south we can attack our Northwest Front, so as to gain the power of containment, and if the strength and quantity are not favorable, we can also reinforce the Central Asian region nearby." ”

"Almost, since they have to withdraw from Chita, it is their freedom for the Russians to build fortresses on the land under their control, and Prussia also fought in Paris during the Franco-Prussian War, and after the victory and retreat, there is no way to demand that the French never rebuild the fortress from Paris to the border. Why, the elders in Beijing decided to go north? Liang Tianhe casually threw a few peanuts into his mouth, and while chewing, the Kinhard Gate cigarette in his mouth magically remained in place.

"It's not conclusive yet, all kinds of options are possible - including spending the First World War in history peacefully, Zhang Zhigao's gang is still turning over and over again Teng Wenyi's set, what kind of historical reshaping, acting at the opportunity, no matter how you look at it, they all want us to die and not be able to fight." Zhang Yiye complained.

"If we don't fight, what are we doing here?" Liang Tianhe twisted his face and loosened the collar of his military uniform, "Old Zhong's words, I have always thought that it is the most reasonable. ”

"Some people take the conquest of the world as a pleasure, and some people want to build a perfect world, such as playing computer games, many people love to play games that simply fight and kill, and there are also many staunch supporters of the game of building cities and managing countries. As far as our group is concerned, there must be people to fight, and there must be people to build, and the war players protect the construction players, and the construction players provide the war players with resources that can fight a larger war, and they are symbiotic and inseparable from each other. So no matter how much I don't like the work of construction, there will still be a basic respect for the builders, after all, they are companions who strive for the same goal, what do you think? ”

Liang Tianhe glanced at Zhang Yiye a little strangely, sneered, and raised his glass: "In this case, for our inseparable companions who live and die together, do it." ”

After a mouthful of dryness to the bottom of the cup, Liang Tianhe smacked his lips and said: "Actually, in my personal opinion, if you don't eat Siberia, you will inevitably eat the Ural Mountains, and it is difficult to stop in the middle, because there is almost no mountain and river geographical line that can be used as a long-term border between Ulan-Ude and the Ural Mountains, and Russia will never allow such a vast land to be abandoned, so either the east wind will overwhelm the west wind, or the west wind will overwhelm the east wind, and Siberia will not be able to swallow it if Russia is not completely defeated and destroyed." ”

"The importance of Siberia to Russia exceeds the significance of Xinjiang, Mongolia, Tibet, and the northeastern provinces combined to China, and if China will never allow these places to be taken away before it becomes a third-rate country, then it is conceivable that Russia will definitely fight with us at all costs before it is ravaged into a fourth-rate garbage country."

"Therefore, if you want to seize Siberia, it will be easiest to join the allied powers in history, join forces with Germany and Austria, and smash Russia to slag, and the world will be clean." Zhang Yiye answered.

"Seize Siberia for the sake of taking Siberia?" Liang Tianhe lit the sixth cigarette in five minutes.

Zhang Yiye spread his hands: "What's wrong?" ”

"Partition of Russia, not to mention whether it is feasible or not, if Russia is really crushed, I am afraid that the biggest headache will be us, then we will have to face the German giants who have unified Europe, our army will be far from the rich areas, beyond the thin railway lines are mostly uninhabited wasteland, the other side occupies the best areas of Russia, can be replenished more quickly and easily than us, the advantages and disadvantages of the situation are clear at a glance. If Europe is united under the banner of militaristic Germany, its huge industrial strength and military energy will inevitably be the strongest and unrivaled in the world after integration, and then it will inevitably pursue everything we have taken from Europe, and the nature of the colonizers will not be easily changed, let alone the racist and supreme Germany? ”

"This ...... Didn't take into account the American factor, did it? ”

"The premise is that the United States is permanently neutral, and if the United States enters the war, even if we join forces with Germany and Austria, the best outcome may be only a decent truce to restore the status quo ante. I bet you that in ten years' time, if we join forces with Germany and Austria against the Entente, the United States will definitely be the first to jump out. We have upset the balance, and if the United States does not want to be the next prey of the Allies, it must preemptively save itself and push the balance back in favor of the Allies. The unification of Europe is something that the United States does not want to see, and the reunification of Asia is something that the whole world does not want to see, and at the current rate of development of the empire as a whole, I cannot believe that in ten years' time, the empire and the Allies will be able to completely overwhelm the Entente with the United States. ”

"I think anything is possible."

Zhang Yiye, who claimed to have quit smoking, also lit a Kinhard gate for the first time.

"Isn't it quitting?" Liang Tianhe was a little curious.

"Look at the atmosphere." Zhang Yiye smiled.

"Anything is possible." Liang Tianhe returned the original words.

Spit out a puff of turbid smoke, Zhang Yiye lazily leaned back in his chair: "Forget it, this kind of problem is not something that the two of us are anxious to consider, don't forget, the youngest in the group is us, if the elders can only wait for ten years, we can wait for twenty years-have you heard?" Our emperor's dragon body is not safe. ”

Liang Tianhe sneered: "I heard that none of the forty-year-old elders are in good health, either vomiting blood or having constant pain here and there, it is said to be a side effect of space-time teleportation." To tell you the truth, my stomach has been bad lately, and it is useless. ”

"I'm a migraine...... It seems that even the two of us won't be waiting long, young man, young man, it's really ......" Zhang Yiye smiled self-deprecatingly at the ceiling.

"So we have to seize the day, we can't afford to wait, or Lao Zhong's words, if we don't fight, what are we doing here? We can't afford to lose, and in ten years' time, most people won't have the time or strength to start over. ”

Liang Tianhe snuffed out the last Jinhardmen cigarette butt at hand, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Yiye with a smile, Zhang Yiye spread his hands and smiled bitterly, and gave him the remaining half a pack of cigarettes.

"Lao Liang, quit smoking, maybe you can live a few more years."

"Chairman Mao, his old man smokes so much, and he still lives a long life? Vice Chairman Lin, who is always healthy, doesn't smoke or drink, and he doesn't see how long he lives. Liang Tianhe's words were convincing, and Zhang Yiye had to laugh at it.

"Look, do I want to have one, the predecessor's instructions to the successor or something?" After swallowing most of the people's bags of Jinhard, Liang Tianhe was interested.

"Just listen to it."

"The railways and highways leading to the border have been repaired and repaired, the frontier outposts, barracks, warehouses, airports, and airship bases have been repaired and made secret, and the engineering troops have worked hard to train the ability to build military roads and build bridges in a mobile way. Liang Tianhe's face was red and his eyes were hot, and he was already drunk when he spoke.

"While you are not drunk, I will also explain one thing to you, after you go back, before Jin meets the emperor, it is best to prepare a gift for the princess Yuehua, and then ask to see in the name of gifts, say hello, mix a familiar face, have the old to talk about the old, talk about the new without the old, in short, there are your benefits."

Liang Tianhe's neck was horizontal: "What? Why should I give a gift to that little woman in the task force? Princess? The princess is amazing, how much strength and blood has she shed for this empire? Our position is completely what we deserve for our desperate work, and she is good, but because she happens to be the daughter of our leader, we should be content with giving her a face and not treating her like a cheap dog who has surrendered from the task force. Just because our leader is the emperor, we just call her a princess, why do you want us to lick her feet like a cheap dog in the task force? What do you think of us? ”

Zhang Yiye knew that Liang Tianhe was violent, and regretted that he didn't say it tactfully, and hurriedly comforted: "Lao Liang, extinguish the fire, no matter what, she is about to be crowned the crown prince, the emperor is now obedient to her, more loving than the children born by the stepmother, and the emperor's seat will definitely be seated by her in the future, I mean, now pull a good relationship, you can show a good face in front of the emperor in the near future, and you can leave an impression on the future empress in the distance, which is good for dredging high-level interpersonal relationships, and there is absolutely no intention for you to grovel." ”

"What's wrong with the crown prince? Is our boss the emperor and the leader of the group, try to replace her as the empress? Who is the bird her, when the time comes, it will really be the hypocritical republic that Kang Youwei talked about, a vase is placed there, give you face and call you the emperor, don't give face and call you little sister, people who will come over in 2025 still want to engage in feudal patriarchy, no way! No matter what the successor of the group says, he must convince the comrades unanimously......"

Zhang Yiye hurriedly explained: "The crown prince is the heir of the imperial family, not the successor of the leader of the group, I think everyone understands it this way, otherwise all the comrades in Beijing would not unanimously agree to propose to the emperor to appoint her as the crown prince." According to Zhang Zhigao's statement, a hundred years after the current emperor, the current constitution will be maintained in the state system, and the collective leadership system of the elders and important ministers will be implemented within the group, which the emperor personally promised to implement truthfully in the future before Wen Yi's bedside. ”

"It doesn't matter if he's the crown prince or not, it's not a good thing to mix with the cheap dogs of the task force! Damn, you shouldn't let those surrendered contingents live until now, disloyal and unjust, wolf-hearted, absolutely harboring evil intentions, ulterior motives, sooner or later they will jump out and harm people......"

With the strength of the wine, Liang Tianhe scolded happily.

Zhang Yiye thought to himself, maybe it's all drunken talk, if that's the case, I'm afraid it's even worse, every time I get drunk, it's going to kill like this......

What a headache for the meat and wine brothers.
