Chapter 210: Choice! The will of the Empire! (xviii)

"I think the Germans may not be able to sell us for a good price if they want to sell us at this time."

Hook was always calm.

Mo Ning pushed the large black-framed glasses on his nose, and his expression seemed to be smiling: "This sounds like being sold and helping others count the money." ”

Hook narrowed his eyes: "It's not time to close the coffin, if Germany and Austria want to make peace with the Entente, first of all, it is necessary to withdraw troops from the previously occupied France and Russia, as well as Serbia, Belgium, and the Netherlands. ”

"Isn't it possible to divide a large piece of the corpse of our East Asian Alliance?" Mourning smacked his lips, as if he had actually eaten some kind of delicious piece that didn't exist.

Hook tilted his head slightly, his face disdainful: "Distant East Asia is out of reach, even if Europe and the United States besiege it with all their might, no one can be optimistic in the face of the one billion East Asian people who have awakened and are armed." ”

"Taking a step back, even if Europe and the United States get lucky, Germany will really get it, but if you want to effectively control the colonies half the world, you must build a powerful ocean-going navy, which will inevitably cause the jealousy of Britain, and at the end of the day, you still have to pull people to fight, and at that time, Germany, not to mention that there is no friend, if you have it, you can fight it."

Mourning's glasses began to reflect unnaturally.

"What do you mean......"

Hook leaned back in his chair and rested his elbows on the armrests, looking breezy.

"If enough compensation can be obtained from the vast East European plain, then Germany should not mind giving up the little scorched earth to the west. As far as Britain and France are concerned, it is not a good thing that they can lead the scourge of German militarism to the East and pinch us to the death on the Eurasian continent with our '* disaster'. ”

Mo Ning took off his glasses and pinched them in his hand to look at them.

"It sounds good, but we are not worms in the stomachs of the leaders of Britain, France and Germany, and it is impossible for the Russians, who have seen a little light, to obediently cut off their own and feed the vicious enemies with whom they have fought for more than two years and have formed countless blood feuds."

Hook was motionless.

This was not the best compromise, but it was the most realistic exchange that both sides were most likely to accept, and only Russia, which was left to the mercy of Germany, was worth letting the German Empire sell its most powerful ally. As for what little pride the Russians have left, it depends not only on the military assistance of the Anglo-French allies, but also on the political situation at home—"

"After hundreds of years of digging their own graves, most of the current tsarist ** system has been buried in the ground, even if there is no demon released by the Germans from the bottle, under the pressure of unprecedented war, the current Romanov dynasty should soon be completely abandoned by all classes in Russia. However, the sudden collapse of authority is always inevitable, and if the new regime is not on shaky footing and cannot control the overall situation, Germany will have an opportunity. ”

"And a great opportunity for the Empire?" Zhang Zhigao coldly added.

Hook closed his eyes and shook his head: "On the contrary, if the British and French allies do not oppose or even support, I am afraid that the Russians will be happy to make such a move: sacrifice part of the interests of Eastern Europe in exchange for peace with Germany, or even the aid of the German army, in order to concentrate on the recovery of Central Asia and Siberia, and if possible, cut a large piece from the East Asian alliance as compensation—in this way, will everyone be happy?" ”

Zhang Zhigao smiled bitterly: "According to this, the worse we beat, the more likely they are to compromise with Germany alone, and the more likely it is that Germany will sell us?" No matter how we play, we lose, and there is no reason for it. ”

Liu Qianhua suddenly opened his eyes: "Tianli is made by guns - no matter how many possibilities there are in the future and no matter how far the situation has developed, we should be prepared for the worst, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, it is not a bad thing to take precautions." ”

"Chief of General Staff Gu, regarding the planning of the absolute national defense circle, do you have eyebrows on the side of the General Staff?"

Gu Yingyang nodded with his hands on his knees and said: "The basic outline has come out, the western route is roughly along the Ural Mountains to the south, through the Ural River to the Caspian Sea, at the southern end of the Caspian Sea to the east, through the mountains of Afghanistan to the Himalayas. ”

"The southern route runs from the Savage Mountains on the border of China and Myanmar and India and Myanmar in the north, passes through the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the south to the island of Sutra, and then turns east to the islands of Java, Nusa Tenggara, New Guinea, and finally to the Bismarck Islands."

"The eastern route runs from the Bismarck Islands in the south to the Truk Islands, the Mariana Islands, the Ogasawara Islands, the Japanese archipelago, and the Kamchatka Peninsula in the north."

Yang Zhengjin twisted his eyebrows: "India in the west, Hawaii in the east, don't you want it?" ”

"India and Hawaii, try to hold on, but you don't have to hold on at all costs. As His Majesty has just emphasized, this plan was aimed at the worst-case scenario, in order to ensure the absolute circle of interests set before the war, and India and Hawaii were not included in the first place. ”

Gu Yingyang looked straight ahead, obviously uninterested in Yang Zhengjin's face.

This time, even Hook frowned: "Then what should we do about the operation of annihilating the US fleet in Hawaii that we have been preparing for so many years?" ”

Gu Yingyang was unmoved, and said calmly: "Continue to prepare, as for whether it will be carried out according to the plan at that time, it is necessary to make a judgment based on the overall strategic situation at that time, and there is no need to stick to dogma." What can be confirmed, however, is that regardless of whether or not the battle is carried out according to plan, the Hawaiian defenders should be prepared to break the army, and Hawaii is no longer seen as a decisive place in the first war. ”

"Even the shattered ones have come out, so it's time to join the 'kamikaze' suicide squad next, right?" Yang Zhengjin expressed contempt.

Gu Yingyang blinked slightly, indicating that there was no pressure on this.

"That is one of the contents of the 'decisive battle on the mainland', and it has not yet been included in the planning of the 'absolute national defense circle', but it is not ruled out that the possibility of entering the 'absolute national defense circle' in advance at that time will not be ruled out, as long as we can prevent the enemy from approaching the mainland, we will not hesitate to use all means."

"Of course, we don't want the situation to be so bad, and the new crusade of Europe and the United States still exists only in our imagination, but if we are still intoxicated with the dream of invincibility and invincibility since the beginning of the war, thinking that no matter how the situation changes, we can fight wherever we go, and we are not allowed to retreat a single step - then one day, the entire empire, the entire East Asian alliance, will pay a fatal price for our stubbornness and arrogance."
