The situation is turbulent throughout Europe, from Rome to London, from Casablanca to Brussels, and everywhere there is a tense and manic atmosphere.

In one of Taranto's conference halls, the battleship Count Spee walked out with Bismarck, straightened her hat, and said to the skinny Veneto beside her: "I promise you Italians will regret it." ”

"Hahahaha...... I promise they won't! Our relationship will be even closer. A beautiful woman with a hot figure walked out, put her arms around Veneto, and the tall figure stood with Veneto, directly smothering the other party in her chest: "Yes, Vivi." ”

Bismarck paused for a moment and looked at the arrogant beauty with a calm expression: "I have always believed that in the face of action, language is always pale, and I will prove it to you." ”

Although the other party was so calm, Veneto could feel the anger hidden behind this sentence, and couldn't help but feel a trace of regret for the choice just now, this has nothing to do with courage, just a gap in national strength.

Who knew that the fiery beauty seemed to ignore Bismarck's cold words and grimaced at her: "Hey! Kitten, don't scare my harem. ”

Veneto is a flat-chested silver-haired ship lady with a quiet and cold personality, and she can't stand the immodest one around her, so she struggles to push away the hot ship girl: "Qiao Wu, I said, I'm not your harem!" ”

"Don't do that, Vivi. Give me a face in front of the kitten, and I'll show you a nice set of clothes in a while, how about it? Sleep with me at night! ”

Veneto was very entangled, and was very moved to hear about the beautiful clothes, but she had some instinctive resistance to this kind of undisciplined roepie, and finally, she thought of those heart-pounding and beautiful clothes, especially the delicately designed black silk, and she liked it at first sight. But in the end, she still cried and said, "No! Qiao Wu, we are not aligned, the interests of the country are higher than personal feelings, I can't be your harem. ”

"Call me the fifth master! It's really a cute sullen 0 girl, can't you not want to, quack, I understand, I understand, I'll wait for you at night......" Qiao Wuye laughed wickedly, which made Bismarck look quite disturbed, and left in a hurry.

After all the German and Austro-Hungarian shipwives disappeared completely, Qiao Wuye let go of Veneto, stretched his waist, turned to the representatives of France, Italy and Russia and said, "Okay, the obscure guys are finally gone, now while everyone is here, let's discuss the next plan." ”

Everyone complained in unison: The routine is really deep.

At the beginning of February, Xu Zhonglin received an urgent order from the military headquarters and returned to Taranto.

After he came back, he first went to the military headquarters to report, four battleships, a tactical formation. Admirals of this fleet size are automatically promoted to brigadier general in wartime.

Due to the advance reservation, this time it became Elena's sister, the battleship Naples, who was his own.

The position of the brigadier general in the navy is a senior soldier, which is equivalent to the minotaur in "Warcraft", and it is an ordinary unit when fighting in a large army, and it can also be used as a half hero in the endgame. So the status is not up or down, and it is a little embarrassing.

The promotion ceremony is also simple and low-key. On behalf of the Navy, Naples conferred the rank of Brigadier General on Xu Zhonglin, and few people watched the ceremony.

"Be careful when you come back this time, I'll try to send some of my own people to your staff." At the end of the ceremony, Naples pointed to something.

……

Wearing a brand-new brigadier uniform that Rena had prepared a long time ago, Xu Zhonglin looked much more handsome, and the whole person was heroic and vibrant. When I saw Garibaldi again, it felt completely different.

Seeing that the other party also had the rank of brigadier general on his shoulder, and saluted him first, someone was as comfortable as he was to shake Sissi. The big husband really can't go without power for a day, this kind of taste is really wonderful. After returning a salute, he sat on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs: "Yo! Isn't this Garibaldi? Are you okay, you've been getting rich lately? ”

Garibaldi was a victim of the rhythm brought by Madame Catherine, she led the negotiations, and exchanged two inconsequential broken islands for the stability of the entire rear, which was originally meritorious, but unfortunately in the end, she took the blame, and her rank was demoted to brigadier general, and Xu Zhonglin was on par with others. But the rank of the admiral is worth more than the ship's mother by default,

Being able to bend and stretch is the basic quality of a big man, and Garibaldi's face did not change: "Thank you for your relationship, everything goes well." ”

Only people who flirt have feelings, silicone dolls are boring, Xu Zhonglin stretched his waist: "Give me a transfer order, I'm going to Aden." ”

Aden is the largest town at the forefront of the Indian Ocean, and the garrison there is mainly responsible for fighting against the subordinates of the chief flagship of the deep south, and it is the easiest to get merit, but also, of course, the most dangerous.

"I'm sorry, you can't go to Aden."

Hehe, girl, it's not up to you to decide now. The reason why Xu Zhonglin took the initiative to apply for promotion before he came back was because the rank of brigadier general could solve his current predicament. In peacetime, the townsman of the ordinary town guard had the rank of colonel, and now he is a brigadier general, and he will either stay and work at the Admiralty on the Taranto side, or he will have to go to the front.

It is impossible to stay, not to mention that he is from the Eastern Empire, even if the Italian Navy is lenient, it will not let him touch some core things, just say that he is a 'North African faction', and the Admiralty is currently controlled by the 'Middle Easternists', and only when his brain is pumped will he leave a political enemy by his side.

"That's good, I'm also very interested in the logistics department here at the Admiralty, it's better for me to mix with Naples, and I can still fish for oil and water without having to work hard." He didn't have to think about the core department of the Admiralty, logistics was the only possibility.

"I'm sorry, you still can't go."

"I have limited patience, I don't want to talk to you, let's just say it, where are you going?"

Garibaldi's smile gave Xu Zhonglin a hint of bad premonition.

"What I say below is top secret, your assignment has just been issued, and I ask you to depart for Portsmouth, the port of England, within twenty-four hours of receiving the assignment. It is required to be hidden from anyone throughout the process. Once at Portsmouth, everything was under the command of the British Home Fleet. ”

Nani?! What's going on? Well for Mao to go to England? Garibaldi must know how desperate Xu Zhonglin wants to go to the front line, and now he is still obstructing him, this is a mortal enemy.

"What the hell are you kidding me? If you want to me off, then you succeeded. To hell with the top secret, I'm not doing it! If I don't play with you, what does Italy's life and death have to do with me? See you next time on the battlefield, you'd better pray that you don't get caught up in me at sea. ”

Xu Zhonglin is really angry this time, he has always followed the rules, Garibaldi used to play him with rules, this is nothing, he enjoyed the benefits of the rules, and he had to pay the price if he got Minerva and Eurydice. But now, Garibaldi is unruly, and he doesn't need to play with the other party. With the relationship between Cato and the Medici family, he is not afraid of the other party tearing his face.

"Young man, be steady, Garibaldi didn't play tricks on you, I personally ordered the appointment." A figure pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hello marshal!"

It was Marshal Arturo Moritti.
