This question is quite important to Xu Zhonglin, knowing when the war will end can he better plan some things, and he can also keep a guard when doing things. However, he could get the exact news from Mrs. Catherine, and took it out to ask this Charles Davis just to test whether the other party was really as accurate and fair as old Joey said. If what Charles said is basically consistent with Lady Catherine, then it is worth trusting, but what if this is a fairy set made for him by two old fellows? You can't go out without precautions.

Before Charles could speak, Old Joy spoke: "What kind of information is this?" I can answer you all! There is no calculation of resource reserves, and how long the war will be fought depends on the mind of the big guy. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

Old Joy twisted an olive and threw it into his mouth: "Boy, Italy is not short of resources, but they are all in the hands of major families. For example, the largest Medici family's own reserves alone have no problem supporting this campaign for a year. How long the war will be fought depends on whether the interests in the early stage are unreasonable! Got it? ”

it! Xu Zhonglin's feeling was: Cato, why did you embarrass me when we went out to fool around together? ! It's so low-key, and I feel a little bit unremarkable.

"Then how long do you estimate that the current resource reserves of the Admiralty and the government can be supported?" This Xu Zhonglin has estimates that he can play for less than a year.

Old Joy gave a more accurate time: "Nine months!"

O master!

"! I can't finish it for two years! Old man, you nest in the bar every day, and the news is outdated. Charles Davis drained another large glass of wine, already a little shaky.

At this time, Teresa sent a telepathic message to Xu Zhonglin: Admiral, I added a lot of fine vermouth to this guy's cocktail. And it was covered up with the smell of fruit wine, this guy was probably drunk, and quickly asked, he did know a lot of things.

Yo-yo! This is God Teammates!

Not only does a good vermouth have an alcohol content of up to 70%, but it also has a hallucinogenic effect, which is even more powerful than marijuana. In Xu Zhonglin's original world, this kind of wine was banned for a time. Charles drank a few large glasses, and the effects were already visible.

Pleasantly surprised to receive an assist from his teammates twenty minutes ago, Xu Zhonglin struck while the iron was hot: "Oh? What did you know? ”

"Ah~~, after the snow melts, Germany and the Eastern Empire will plan to meet on both sides of the Caspian Sea, do you think they will unite to attack the deep-sea forces on the Iranian plateau in the south? Will Britain and France sit idly by? In fact, Britain and France are already accumulating strength, and the land advance on the North African side is tightening up the net, and once the southern part of Algeria is recovered, then the good show will begin, do you think they will let Russia fall and the Persian Gulf be taken by Germany and the Eastern Empire? They will certainly give Russia support within a month. Germany is bound to resist fiercely. Both sides will give benefits in order to win over Italy, so why worry about resources at that time? As long as the two sides are swaying, who can do it......" Charles burped and began to speak quite neatly, but finally fell asleep on the table, and the wine was not bad.

Xu Zhonglin felt very reasonable, she was injured some time ago, but now she actually has time to chat with Lilia, which can be seen in the tube, which proves that Charles, an intelligence officer, is at least very capable of intelligence analysis.

Since he couldn't ask anything more, Xu Zhonglin was a little curious about the old Joey who opened a small bar: "Old man, this bearded Charles is an excellent intelligence dealer, what is your situation?"

"I know!" A voice came from the doorway.

Xu Zhonglin's ship girls all rushed over, Venus and Anne walked up to the old man, and bowed respectfully: "Hello Dean!"

Old Joey narrowed his eyes: "Oh? This should be Venus and little Annie. Did you two get together? The old man seemed to think for a while, and nodded again: "Well, it's not bad, although your admiral is young, but he is a cunning guy, I think his nickname should be called the Fox of the Far East." Live a little longer with this kind of person. ”

Anne is a stuffy gourd and basically can't speak.

Venus was a little excited: "Dean! Do you remember me? ”

The old man sighed: "Hey! How can you not remember? You're so pretty, how could I not remember? You seem to have won the championship of the Academy Ship Girl Beauty Pageant, three or several times? People are old and can't remember clearly. But I've suffered you all these years! ”

Venus was a wanted shipwreck before. During her service, she was molested by her own admiral, killed and fled, and has been wandering all these years. The old man should know about the situation, so he felt it.

Although the two little fan girls who got Mermaid and Venus like fashion more, they have never been very close to Xu Zhonglin, and they have been injured before, so they can not integrate into a new group so quickly. Seeing that the corner of the little guy's mouth was about to cry, Xu Zhonglin had no way to comfort him, so he could only divert the topic.

"Venus, who is this old man with a white beard? If you take an iron axe and slash him, will you burst out a handful of gold? ”

"Poof~, Admiral, that and Sister Shengli will kill you." Anne smiled first.

Venus hurriedly introduced: "Admiral, this is the dean of the Dartmouth Naval Academy in the United Kingdom, Joey Murphy. In the UK, he is a very respected elder. ”

This made Xu Zhonglin a little surprised, Old Joy looked like an ordinary old man, but he didn't expect it to be so big. The Dartmouth Naval Academy is the equivalent of the Livorno Naval Academy in the UK to Italy, and the Royal Naval College is also known as the British Royal Naval College. It is also one of the finest naval academies in the world.

Father Xu originally wanted to send Xu Zhonglin to study in this academy at the beginning, but unfortunately, the old rascal was not short of money, or he was more self-conscious, so he refused to let him go.

"Old man, you are walking in brocade at night, opening a small bar here with such a big identity, oh my God! I've even drunk your coffee! Xu Zhonglin could feel that this old Joey should have a hard time here, but it was a pity that it was inconvenient to ask.

Old Joey has a good attitude: "Hehe, I'm retired, and it's good to have a good pension here." Opening a small bar is also my long-cherished wish, and since it has opened, you should naturally enjoy the service when you pay for it. ”

"Fifth Master Qiao and Sister Shengli will kill me if they find out."

Although this old Joey should not have taught Fifth Master Qiao and Sister Shengli, in this world, the dean of the academy is the most respected type of person by the ship's mother. Old Joey should have a very high status in the minds of the British shipwive, just look at Venus and Anne as good babies.

Brussels is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and you can meet two big people in a small bar, which can't help but make Xu Zhonglin have the urge to go shopping more, maybe there will be other surprises.
