The gopher looked miserable, with bandages on its head and arms, and coconut juice hanging from it.

Xu Zhonglin hurriedly instructed Teresa: "Why don't you change it to plasma?" ”

The gopher hurriedly said: "No, no, my lord, I am cheap, this coconut water has been processed, the effect is similar to plasma, and it is very good to use, in fact, I am almost better." ”

Teresa is very visionary, she didn't help the gopher deal with the injury as soon as possible, she just waited for the admiral to sell favors, and when she heard this, she hurriedly took out the prepared medical equipment to help the gopher deal with the injury. The gopher was grateful.

"How did this happen?"

"It was okay when I went, with the help of those channels you gave, and the road was unimpeded. But when he came back, he was discovered by the Indian Ocean Fleet. chased me all the way, and sent a wave of carrier-based aircraft to bomb me during the day, but fortunately I divided my troops and the large force escaped the bombing. Unexpectedly, I encountered another deep-sea fleet in the Arabian Sea, and my flagship was attacked by a submarine, and I was also injured. When I changed flagships, I was overtaken by the deep-sea cruiser fleet, and a naval battle took place. I am no opponent, and remembering the task you have given me, I can only abandon most of the warships, thanks to the speed of the ship you helped me to rebuild, and the blessing of Lady Luck, I finally ran into the Gulf of Aden with three ships, where I met your Italian friend, and was protected all the way back. ”

The gopher spoke briefly, but he went out with more than a dozen warships, and only three came back, which shows the thrilling of it.

Someone started the performance mode again, only to see him 'angry' slap the table: "How can this be true! How did Italy's allies become? I don't know how to help you heal your injuries?! I'll have to blame them when I go back. ”

The gopher was a good young man with a straight intestine: "Thank you, sir, maybe you forgot, I can't contact anyone during the mission, and the admiral who answered me only checked the code and didn't communicate with me." ”

It really hurts to be slapped in the face by an honest man, Xu Zhonglin seriously suspects that this product is pretended, but unfortunately there is no evidence.

Someone had to change the subject covertly: "Where were you attacked?" ”

"The Gulf of Oman, the northernmost point of the Arabian Sea."

Xu Zhonglin frowned, the inside of the Gulf of Oman is the famous Strait of Hormuz, which is the throat of the Persian Gulf, how important it is will not be repeated, there is no reason for Italy not to blockade it? There must be something wrong with this!

Recently, the Admiralty's battle report was a little vague, and Xu Zhonglin didn't know the specific battlefield situation, so he said to Sissi: "Ask Cato, how is the Middle East battlefield." ”

Cato said that the Red Sea coast west of the Sierra Mountains has been brought under control except for the northern part of Aden, and that Mecca has advanced to the eastern part of the Sierra Mountains, but there has been a recent debate within the Army. Some people thought that they should break north and get the big oil fields in the north, while others insisted on outflanking them in the south and attacking from east to west, completely annihilating the Qiji entrenched in the interior of the Serrat Mountains. The two sides are now in a stalemate, and the navy can only shrink strategically. ”

it! Going north to get the oil field? Which genius came up with it? Even Xu someone, who knows all about the army, knows that the first thing to do is to go south to encircle and annihilate, are the army's bunch of goods grafted pig brains?

Sissi also understands military strategy: "Those who support the northward expansion are helpless to choose this way, now except for the Americas, the price of raw materials has skyrocketed, Britain, the United States, and Germany have raised the price of steel, Italy has no oil, but it is difficult to exchange for other resources." They believe that the war of annihilation in the mountains in the south will inevitably take a long time, and may eventually drag down the entire country, so it is better to go north to get resources. ”

It seems to make sense, the so-called ten birds in the forest is not as good as one bird in hand, not to let the girl be the gear shifter, but to really eat the benefits into the mouth. And mountain warfare is a huge problem even in another world, and you don't know how Afghanistan has made the sun never set, the Soviet Union, and the United States disgraced. Others have become strong and become the boss of the world, and they are not afraid, and they will find a way to encourage them to fight Afghanistan, and then - GG.

In this way, it seems that there is indeed a dilemma, Xu Zhonglin according to his own understanding: "How do I feel that Italy has been cheated? It's right to take the Middle East, but I think we should use the Persian Gulf as a breakthrough. Saudi Arabia's main oil-producing areas are in the northeast and the Persian Gulf Sea, and the Red Sea coast is close to the mountains, like the west coast of the Americas, so there is too little room for strategic manoeuvre. Italy cares too much about the export of the Gulf of Aden, some sides. ”

As a North African, Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, knows her enemy the Middle East best: "We all know this, but if we don't take the entrance to the Red Sea, how can we transport back the resources of the Persian Gulf?" Unless we go to either Britain or Germany. Can ......"

"Understood! Stupid, the famous two-faced and three-stabbed, the strength of the faction to sell teammates, and the geographical location is really sexy, there is no future. Since you can't be the boss, you must stand in line, I think Britain and France are good, so that you are basically no threat in the Mediterranean, and the strength of Austria-Hungary and Turkey will be shot to death by the three of you on the beach. If the navy is free, it is entirely possible to unite Britain and France to expand along the African coast in the Indian Ocean or the Atlantic, or even to jointly occupy the Persian Gulf. The triangular relationship is the most stable, and as long as you are united with France, you are not afraid of British dominance. ”

The Goddess of Wisdom, the Soul Resurrection, Margaret, and Elena all lit up, and then dimmed. How can those people in Italy be willing to be the little brother of others, waiting for others to throw bones? And how can France endure Britain being the boss?

Xu Zhonglin also knew the crux of the matter, so he lost interest in talking, and turned his head to have a showdown with the gopher: "Gopher, tell me about your intention this time." When will I send a little souvenir? It's not worth your solemn risk to come to me during the mission! ”

His guess was correct, there was something wrong with the gophers. At first, the gopher just knew that this mission was important, and was forced to take it under pressure. But now he knows the content of the transaction between the two sides completely, he doesn't know the 'potted plants' and seeds transported back from the Eastern Empire, and he still knows the things that have been transported, which are rubber trees and cinchona trees!!

The moment I received the task, the gopher felt so painful. Especially along the way, he was helped by six powerful admirals from at least four countries. The gopher knew that Xu Zhonglin didn't scare him, and the content of the mission couldn't be revealed if he became an undead. Although all three parties have promised to ensure his safety, the gopher can be mixed with this nickname, and he is a very insecure person, and even has some persecution paranoia. Governor Bamond may have disdained to attack him, but what about the other admirals under him? As long as one person knows his name, the gopher will never be able to run. When the time comes, can he still count on Governor Bamond to support him?

Colonel Xu is similar here, the gopher can believe in Xu Zhonglin's discipline, but he can't believe the black widow! The festival of that girl has been experienced by many dead people, and it is sour enough for them to climb out and have a grave jump, pointing to the sky and scolding the mother.

The gopher gritted its teeth and then knelt on one knee: "I want to take refuge in you." It was the only thing he could think of. Defect to Governor Bamond, and it is estimated that his men will be dismembered more quickly. Take refuge in the Admiral of the East - please, the gopher has never even seen anyone else. The only choice can only be Xu Zhonglin, and he has to take refuge before returning to Canary to hand over the mission, which is the purpose of his visit.

"Bold!"
