After returning to the office after a long absence, Lin Youde couldn't wait to sit down at the desk and recalled the feeling of pointing out the country on this chair in the past.

Then he noticed two chairs on the opposite side of the table.

"It's ......"

"One for me and one for Ysera." Viola said as she pulled open the chair on the left and sat down, while Ysera sat into the other.

"It's too troublesome," Lin Youde patted his thigh, "Isn't it over if you come over and sit on my lap, why bother two people to squeeze over there?" ”

"Daddy......" Isera sighed, "this kind of Cheng dù joke is not interesting—wait, Mom, what are you doing?" ”

Under her daughter's surprised gaze, Viola went around the table and got into Lin Youde's arms.

"Oh, that's good." Lin Youde touched Viola's head.

"Now that Viola has gone over there, the stool is mine." The fox sat down on Viola's place, and let out a long sigh, "It's a shame that she's too big to sit in her husband's arms." So little Ysera, you can't grow any longer, you really can't grow any longer, although you're a little big now, but as long as your husband is tall and powerful enough, you can still be a bird, and there is no hope for a bird at all on my side......"

"Mom, isn't it good to use 'head' as a measure word for your daughter in front of your daughter?" Nia rolled on the couch and protested, "At least use 'only'!" ”

Ysera sighed, "I think I'll lose if I complain......"

"That's right," agreed Sophie, who was sitting far away on the couch near the door, "so it's best for us to pretend not to see." ”

"Lu!"

Xiaolu was unwilling to be lonely and joined the conversation, waving her big paws and yelling.

"Speaking of which," Viola stared at Lu, "doesn't her big paw interfere with her life?" ”

"It looks as nimble as a normal arm, so it probably doesn't matter." Lin Youde shrugged.

Xiaolu may have realized that she was being talked about, so she screamed more happily, at this time Sophie leaned into her ear and booed, and then Xiaolu closed her mouth very obediently, turned her head and looked at Sophie with big eyes.

"Looks like you've taught your sister pretty well." Lin Youde smiled, "Any tricks?" ”

"The trick is, I'll call her when she's disobedient."

"It's not okay to bully my sister." Viola said with a stern face.

"No, it's not bullying." Saying that, Sophie gently poked Xiaolu with her fingers, only to see Xiaolu's whole body tremble from bottom to top, and her ears trembled a few times like a convulsion, and then the little guy raised his hands and shouted "Lu" happily.

Lin Youde half-opened his mouth: "How do I feel that she seems to like being electrocuted?" ”

"That's right, she likes this very much, so I use a higher voltage to power her every time she is disobedient, and she gives her the voltage she likes when she is obedient, and over time I train her to be like this."

- Did you treat your sister like a puppy?

At this time, Xiaolu stretched out her claws and grabbed Sophie's sleeve: "Lu~"

"Don't speak, when that thing rings, if you haven't spoken, I'll call you again."

Xiaolu probably understood, so she covered her mouth with her two paws and stopped talking. Sophie nodded and gave Xiaolu a thumbs up.

"I always thought Sophie would be great when she grew up......," Viola whispered.

When Sophie heard this, she turned her head to look at Viola and Lin Youde, and pouted disdainfully: "Isn't that of course." ”

The fox laughed and praised as he laughed: "I find that I like little Sophie more and more!" ”

At this time, Ysera coughed, drawing everyone's attention to herself, and then said seriously, "Let's continue to discuss business, Dad." Just said that there will be peace with Russia, no matter how likely it may be......"

"There's a lot of potential for success." Lin Youde corrected his daughter's statement, "Since Natalia will take the initiative to contact us, it means that she doesn't want to fight, and what she needs now is to stabilize the external environment so as to reorganize the situation in the country." Therefore, as long as we take a good position and do not indiscriminately open the price, the truce is basically a certainty. ”

"Well, then count it as a successful armistice, it doesn't matter Dad, because what I wanted to discuss was after the truce with Russia. In my opinion, the United States and Britain will not withdraw from the war just because Russia and we unilaterally made peace, right? ”

"That's right," Lin Youde nodded, "War is actually very similar to gambling, especially a full-scale war, once you get involved, unless you lose to the point where there is nothing to lose, it is impossible for the participating countries to stop lightly, especially those who have suffered losses." They will definitely want to win back what they have lost on the battlefield. ”

It's like a gambler, after losing money, he thinks that maybe he will be able to earn back the principal and interest next time, but the more he loses, the more he loses, and when he wakes up, he is already in debt.

War is the same, the First World War is a true portrayal of this mentality, the fighting countries are actually longer than whom, another time and space Russia can't hold back the collapse first, and the red regime withdrew from the war after coming to power, this time and space does not have this process, but it is not much worse.

"Therefore, if we want to end the war, it is useless to just stop the war with Russia, we must also hit the United States hard, make it completely hurt, make it think that it is not worth continuing to fight, only in this way can the United States accept the armistice."

"Sure enough, it's still going to hurt the Americans." Ysera said, "That's what I guessed," said, "But that's hard to do, isn't it?" It is not easy to hurt it with the industrial capacity of the Americans, at least the simple loss of material cannot make it painful. ”

"That's right, so to get the United States out of the war, either destroy its god or kill and wound a lot of his personnel. Once the number of U.S. military casualties on the battlefield exceeds one million, the anti-war sentiment of the American people will rise to the point where the government will have to make concessions. ”

In fact, in another time and space, nearly 60,000 US troops were killed and more than 300,000 wounded in the Vietnam War, which already caused domestic public resentment to boil -- of course, this was also influenced by the social trend of thought in the 60s, but the large number of casualties was indeed the direct cause of the anti-war in the United States.

In World War II in another time and space, the U.S. military only killed about 400,000 (of which Germany killed 250,000, Japan killed 150,000, and the footbasin chicken is really not as good as Hans Meow).

By the way, in the Korean War, the US troops were killed and missing only more than 50,000, and by the way, only counting the casualty ratio of the US army and the volunteers in the Korean War, they would think that the Americans were good at fighting the volunteers and good water, and then thought that the volunteers liked to fight the sea of people or something, but in fact, the volunteers also killed more than 1 million South Korean troops, and counted the 220,000 South Koreans killed, 700,000 wounded, and more than 40,000 missing, and immediately felt that the volunteers could fight with ......

"About a million U.S. troops were killed...... The number of casualties is one million, so the total number of casualties is not three million? Isera smacked her lips again and again, "This is not a simple task, we have fought so many battles on the Eastern Front, and we have only destroyed millions of enemies, and the casualties of the Russian army are almost this number, where can we find such a big battlefield to annihilate more than three million American troops?" It's impossible in North Africa, right? It would be very powerful for that broken place to be able to unleash an army of millions. Are we going to land in the UK eventually? ”

"There is a place where there are more than three million US troops......" The fox paused and squinted at Lin Youde, "It's just that that place is far away from us......"

"Ming?" Ysera's eyes widened, "You're crazy Dad, we're going to support Xinming...... How can we support it! Even if it can win the sea control in the Indian Ocean, Malacca is still stuck by the US military. It's even more unrealistic to go by road......"

"You're right." Lin Youde smiled at Isera, "So we have to send some high-quality toys over, which occupy less capacity, but they can greatly improve Xinming's combat capability, and Xinming's logistics can provide support for these things." ”

"You're going to send a new type of magic armor over?"

"That's right! Sure enough, it's my daughter, so smart. Of course, this is just one of several measures we will be taking, not only will we be sending magic armor to Xinming, but we will also take some action here. For example, if we send the elite armored corps withdrawn from Baku and Kuban to North Africa, in the middle of 44, we will launch a larger ground offensive in North Africa, if we go by the way, we can eat Patton's corps in North Africa, this loss and the right operation should be able to cause a lot of 'chemical reaction' on the American mainland, but I don't know if we can make Charlotte decide to stop the war. ”

"If you want me to say," Viola said suddenly, "the military-industrial complex of the United States is so happy to make money that it is difficult to get Congress under their control to approve an armistice, right?" Even if Charlotte wanted a truce, the heads of the military-industrial complex would not allow her to do so, let alone ...... Charlotte herself came to power with the support of several conglomerates closely related to the military industry......"

"That's right, so we have to find a way to convince these military-industrial complexes that they still have a chance to make money after the truce." Lin Youde had a confident smile on his face, "It's time for our chess pieces in North America to move." ”

"Well," the fox also showed a smile on his face that echoed Lin Youde's distance, "I have also played a lot of dark stakes in the United States over the years, and echoing those bright chess pieces laid by you, dear, should have a good effect." ”

"That," Isera interrupted Lin Youde and the fox's tacit understanding "hehehe", "I don't understand what you're talking about, even if Chihiro's hidden stake is forgotten, I can probably guess what it means, Dad, do your chess pieces refer to Vale?" But it's been a long time since we've been in contact with Vale. ”

"Remember, my daughter, that there is a companion in this world that you don't need to have any contact with, and you can be sure that he will act according to your ideas when you need him. Such a partner may only have one or two in a person's life, but this is enough. ”

"I'm going to be upset when you say that." The fox grimaced, "You have so many of these friends, you see, me, Viola, Isabella, and Sissi, we are all here." ”

"Well, I was wrong." Saying that, Lin Youde turned to Isabella, and suddenly showed a smug expression, "Look, daughter, how powerful your father is, with so many reliable partners, it is difficult to achieve hegemony." ”

(Hmph, I don't believe in evil!) There is a kind of you cursing me again, "except for the avant-garde, everything else is out"! Come, curse me! ）
