503 Cold rain
Five-zero-three cold rain
In the misty night, a pair of slender hands gently pushed the window open a little, making the boring atmosphere in the room slightly lessen. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
In the mirror, there is a little more mature charm, but you can still see a pure face, delicate and fair skin, which has not been harmed by the years, but has made the original slender figure more and more exquisite.
With a slight pull of his fingers, he scattered the long hair coiled behind his head, making the jade man in the mirror a little more charming, but he sighed softly, but he ruined this beauty.
"Why is my sister sighing?"
The sudden voice behind him startled Xiao Xiao, who was worried about the mirror, turned his head to look and found that Duan Yue'er was standing behind him with a small cup at some point, and hurriedly asked, "Sister Yue'er, why haven't you slept so late?" โ
"Flutter." Yue'er chuckled, put the teacup on the dresser, and said with a smile: "Originally, I slept, but it wasn't because of that Dengtu who ran to boil a bowl of bird's nest but didn't dare to serve it to you, so he pulled me up from the bed." โ
Xiao Xiao Na didn't know who the disciple in Duan Yue'er's mouth was, and only she would call him that after so many years, she looked at the bird's nest and twisted her eyebrows, and said softly: "Sister Yue'er, we have been together since Canada, so I don't want to hide it from you, I'm worried about Zhen'er him." โ
"I know." Duan Yue'er walked down to Xiaoxiao, hugged her shoulders and smiled, "But sister, have you thought about it?" The children have grown up and have their own world, not to mention that Zhen'er is still the emperor, and he is an example for so many young people in the world, if it is known that you prevent him from going to the Naval Academy, wouldn't it embarrass him. โ
"Although it is a constitutional monarchy, this country is nominally our family, and in the future, there will always be some people who can stand up and speak, and they can't be led by the nose, and they don't seek to be as meritorious as him, at least they can't be swayed by others."
Yue'er's eyes were gloomy, and she sighed long: "I can see through it, although he has four sisters in his generation, he still bears the world in his heart, so let the children study outside under pseudonyms, so that they can be self-reliant and self-reliant, so as not to be like those princesses of the previous dynasty, surrounded by eunuchs and palace maids all day long, and they don't know the outside world." โ
Duan Yue'er's quiet words made her small beautiful eyes blink a few times and be a little surprised, Duan Yue'er was born with a hot and straightforward nature, Li Mo has said more than once that she should live in a few decades, and she has not changed over the years, so among the four imperial concubines, she also visited the people on behalf of the royal family a lot, and also opened a royal hospital with Cindy, but she didn't expect her to say this today, which is really shocking.
"Hee-hee, don't look at me, it's Dengtu who said it." Seeing Xiaoxiao looking at her without blinking, Duan Yue'er smiled and grimaced, although she was a little woman in her thirties, this kind of naughtiness not only did not show pretentiousness, but added a bit of charm to her.
Xiaoxiao was also amused by her grimace, but she was still a little worried in her heart, not long ago dozens of people died in the navy, and now her own children are going to join them, as a mother is always a little worried and afraid.
"Sister, don't think about it, Sister Sanniang's younger brother is also in the army, didn't Sister Xianqi's younger brother go to the Air Force last year? And look at me, the eldest brother is busy going in and out every day, and sometimes he can't see anyone for several months, and it's not all because of that disciple" Yue'er finished speaking, I don't know what I thought, and suddenly sneered: "If you want to be angry, you might as well wait for him to come to your room next time, let him watch and not move, and anger him." โ
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Duan Yue'er's bold and hot words made Xiaoxiao, who already had two children, a little unbearable, and hurriedly said with shame: "Pure nonsense." โ
"As long as you have a good nature, I can't bear him, if he makes me angry that day, I will suffocate him, giggle." seemed to think of something proud, Duan Yue'er laughed before she finished speaking, but after laughing a few times, she saw a figure that seemed to be smiling but not smiling suddenly appeared in the mirror, and she quickly jumped up in fright, turned her head and said: "Dead man, walking without a sound, scared me to death."
"Huh? Do you have something wrong? Li Mo licked his face, stretched out his hand, hugged Duan Yue'er tightly in his arms, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you wouldn't be afraid." โ
"Do you have a bad heart" Duan Yue'er twisted, and found that she couldn't get rid of Li Mo's arm, so she had to snuggle up and say angrily: "I know all day long that I know how to drum up a few children to go outside blindly, and say that you have to be self-reliant, now it's okay, Zhen'er is going to the navy, it's all what you are used to"
"Children always have to grow up. Li Mo smiled, let go of Yue'er, walked behind Xiaoxiao, stroked her shoulders and looked at the beauty in the mirror, and said softly: "We are different from the previous dynasty now, I and you, Zhen'er They have all said that now the country's taxes are used for the country and the people, and our royal family also needs to bear the education fund of the world's school, so the royal brothers need to make a living alone, work hard for the future of the royal family, and set an example for the world. โ
"That's why I let Yue'er and Cindy open a pharmaceutical factory together, let Xianqi and his father open a restaurant, let Sanniang take care of our plantation, and let you take care of the family's expenses on weekdays, we all have to learn to support ourselves."
"Besides, when you and I left Canada, we were only twelve years old, and you were nine years old, so didn't we survive the same? If it weren't for that experience, if it weren't for the hardships in the bitter cold, do you think we would be where we are today? โ
Li Mo's words reminded the three of them of the time when they were in the Canadian camp, when the day was really hard, it was difficult to guarantee food and clothing on weekdays, and they had to pan for gold, prospect for mines, and be busy in the mountains all day long.
"Zhen'er has grown up, I am very happy that he chose the navy, you raised a good son for me" Li Mo smiled proudly and patted Xiaoxiao, then lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek: "Don't forget, the army is nominally the emperor's, do you want me to go into battle to kill the enemy myself?" โ
"Who let you go on your own, I just." Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and stroked Li Mo's cheek, forgetting that there was still Miss Duan beside her, and before she could finish speaking, a strange laugh suddenly sounded over there.
"Oops, it's sour."
Seeing Li Mo and Xiaoxiao making out affectionately, as if she didn't exist, Duan Yue'er deliberately shouted exaggeratedly, and then stretched her waist, letting the bulging ** deliberately turn around on the tip of Li Mo's nose, yawning and laughing: "I'm trapped to death, pull people out of the bed in the middle of the night, you continue to talk, what do you like, don't bother me, I want to sleep." โ
"Oops." Before Duan Yue'er's yawn was finished, she was hugged by Li Mo in her arms, and her big hand quickly covered the two lumps of clotted fat along the wide pajamas, and she smiled up and down: "I'm also sleepy, let's sleep together here." โ
This scene made Xiao Xiao blush, and quickly closed the window, but after the cool air was gone, the room exuded more and more heat. On the contrary, it was Yue'er, the initiator, who stood up generously after being taken out of two handfuls, her eyes were like silk, and after she looked at Emperor Li with white eyes, she got up and untied her pajamas by herself.
The plump breasts and fat buttocks are bathed in the goose-yellow table lamp, and they seem to be covered with a layer of golden glow, which is more and more sultry.
Xiaoxiao was so ashamed that she forgot what she had just done, but before she could get up and turn off the lights, she saw that Yue'er had already stripped off her clothes and pants and leaned down gently, and after taking off the worry for Li Mo, her delicate little mouth had already kissed the raised dragon head.
Because it is arched, the two ** groups are hanging down and looking more huge and shiny, and the snow buttocks are deliberately raised high, constantly swinging with the light tweed of the corners of the lips.
This scene made the small body hot, and at this time, one of Emperor Li's big hands had already climbed on her chest, and she untied her pajamas like Yue'er in love, and lay naked beside Li Mo.
Emperor Li took a deep breath comfortably, played and kneaded the snow buttocks, patted it gently, and after bringing up a wave, he said with a smile: "After the New Year, the four of you will go out to inspect with me, let the child decide for himself when he grows up, this time I will take you to have a good time for half a year, and I don't care about anything." โ
"Really?" Yue'er, who was tasting the flute, heard Li Mo's words, and immediately raised her head, her beautiful eyes flashed twice and then dimmed, and she said angrily: "Didn't you fool our sisters with lies again?" Every time he said that he wanted to accompany us well, but. โ
"Don't worry, it's real this time." Holding the small and warm smooth body, he suddenly buried his head between the two lumps of fatness, and said with a smile: "Chrysostom Yuyan, never repent." โ
"Ascend." Yue'er pinched Li Mo's thigh fiercely, then swung her fat buttocks, and sat down slowly, and there was a sudden strange sound on the carved diamond bed, and the three white shadows under the light made the night chaotic.

"The emperor is on patrol."
Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after sending Li Zhen to the Dalian Naval Academy, Li Mo took four imperial concubines and two young children, as well as Li Enfu, Du Dazhuang and others, to take the Royal Ocean Super Cruise in Lushun and began to inspect the sea frontier.
Although many people did not know in advance that Li Mo would suddenly inspect the sea frontier, the Admiralty immediately dispatched two Yangtze River-class cruisers to protect him closely, and began to plan emergency plans and sea security along the way.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this was just a simple inspection, but it aroused reverie in the General Staff, the smell of gunpowder in Europe is getting stronger, and the danger of turning into a full-scale war is about to be turned into a whole-out war. In addition, the United States and Britain are getting closer and closer, and have begun to build seaports and naval bases on Fiji and other islands, and the Pacific Ocean is not at peace, why did the emperor suddenly go to inspect quietly?
In the office of the Prime Minister's Office, looking at Chen Ping, who was discussing the annual military budget with Tang Shaoyi, Long Guozhang always felt a little irritable when he thought of this, and asked: "Yuanshou, why did you say the emperor went out at this time?" also said that he was not allowed to harass him if there was nothing particularly important, and brought four imperial concubines, which was like a wedding honeymoon. โ
"It's a trip." Chen Ping smiled slightly: "The emperor wants to take this opportunity to relax with a few imperial concubines and spend more time with his family." โ
Long Guozhang coughed twice, but before he could speak, Tang Shaoyi also laughed: "Yes, in the past few years, the emperor is afraid of affecting the development of the country, so he has borne so much military expenses from you alone, and he is still busy running around, and the time to accompany his family is scarce, I really don't know how he supported it, if I were me, I am afraid that it would have collapsed a long time ago." โ
Speaking of Li Mo's burden over the years, even Long Guozhang secretly admired, starting from the Beijing level, all the equipment expenses of the navy, land and air forces in the future were arranged by the emperor, and the Prime Minister's Office only bore the expenses of personnel salaries and infrastructure construction, which greatly saved the consumption of funds, if it were not for this, according to the scale of China's current equipment, I am afraid that the domestic economy would be suppressed a lot.
"The European side is already inextricable, Britain and Germany are full of strength, and this battle cannot be avoided." Tang Shaoyi sorted out her thoughts and said with a smile: "Once the big war starts, it will definitely be very noisy, so the emperor took this opportunity to accompany the four more imperial concubines." โ
Guozhang nodded and understood, turned his head and said, "Shaochuan, Yuanshou, what do you think about the fact that Britain and the United States began to build naval bases in Gilbert, Fiji and Australia?" โ
Long Guozhang's question made the two end the discussion of the budget, Chen Ping leaned back on the chair, took out a cigarette and handed it to the two of them, and said, "It's a little troublesome." โ
"Can't you stop it?"
Tang Shaoyi didn't know much about military affairs, but he was not stupid, and he could naturally understand the consequences of Britain and the United States suddenly starting to strengthen their military presence in the southwest Pacific after the "Gulf Agreement," so he asked.
"Difficult."
Chen Ping's eyes flashed with anger, but then he shook his head again: "If it's just Britain, we can deliberately create a conflict and force him to negotiate, but with the United States, it's hard to say, unless there is a war, it is impossible to effectively contain it." โ
The two also nodded, now that the United States and Britain are deliberately shrinking and concentrating on building on their own land, Hua has no choice but to be dissatisfied, and they have strictly restricted the previous little game of besieging the survey ship, just to prevent Hua from finding any excuse, so that the navy will not sink other people's fleets in peacetime.
"I'm worried about the Colรณn Islands, which are too close to Panama and a necessary stop on the U.S. route to Australia, and if the U.S. wants to do it, there will definitely be a tough battle there." Chen Ping said, walked to the large map of the room, pointed to the Colon Islands and continued: "From a geographical point of view, whether it is Honolulu or Truk, it is relatively far away from the Colon Islands, and the United States can completely rely on Panama and have an advantage over us. โ
"So we're really going to prepare"
After listening to Chen Ping's words, Tang Shaoyi wrinkled his eyebrows and asked, "Yuanshou, do you think the United States will go to war?" โ
This question made Chen Ping nod: "Whether the United States will go to war depends on the Entente, if Europe fights and Britain cannot gain an advantage, then the British will definitely pull the United States into the water." โ
"If the United States wants to intervene in Europe, it is necessary to ensure the security of their doorstep, at least they need to let Britain hand over the defense of Australia and the entire Pacific Ocean to them to contain us, otherwise the United States will not dare to do it."
"How could Britain so easily hand over the defense of the Pacific to the United States?" Long Guozhang asked suspiciously.
"Hmph, Guozhang, you underestimate Britain too much" Chen Ping looked at the small British Isles and said coldly: "If there is no us, Britain will never let the United States interfere unless it is absolutely necessary, but now if they want to concentrate on dealing with Germany, they must ensure the security of the Indian Ocean and Australia, and if they want to keep these places, they must involve the United States."
"For the United States, because of the Panama Canal, and because we have begun to focus on South America, their penetration into South America has been greatly reduced, unless the United States is willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head for a lifetime, or it will definitely do it."
"Wouldn't it be okay for us to declare neutrality?" Tang Shaoyi asked.
"Prime Minister, do you think that if we declare neutrality, we will be able to avoid conflict with the United States for a lifetime?" Chen Ping turned his head, looked at the two, and swept his gaze: "We need the Pacific, and the United States also needs the Pacific, which in itself is an irreconcilable contradiction."
"It's only a matter of time before the United States enters Australia, so I agree with the emperor's words, since it is irreconcilable, it is better to start as soon as possible than to let the United States develop for a few more years."
Tang Shaoyi nodded, understood what Chen Ping meant, and also figured out why Li Mo had vigorously developed the navy over the years, because the rapid rise of the United States and meddling in the Pacific Ocean has become a major annoyance, once Europe starts, the United States will definitely reap a lot of benefits by virtue of its geographical and racial advantages, which will greatly enhance the national strength of the United States.
Tang Shaoyi's gaze slid from Panama to nearby Colombia, and said with a smile: "It seems that we are about to start preparing." โ
Seeing Tang Shaoyi's gaze, Chen Ping and Long Guozhang both laughed heartily, although the prime minister does not know military affairs, but his vision is first-class, Colombia's position is very important, plus their contradictions with the United States, as long as he is pulled to China's side, then China will win this war at least sixty percent.
"Let Wu Tingfang go, since the United States wants to make trouble in the Southwest Pacific, then we will simply go straight to the United States, nothing more than to see whose actions it is."
'Prime Minister, Chief of Staff, Commander Long. Before Tang Shaoyi's ruthless words were finished, there was a sudden knock on the door, Zhang Zuolin had already walked in with an impatient face, and after saluting, he opened the folder in his hand and reported: "The Colombian intelligence station reported that the Panama Canal was opened last night This morning, the US government said that in order to ensure the safety of the canal, it will increase the number of troops stationed there from the current 2,000 to 10,000
It is also being prepared to transfer four Delaware-class, four Florida-class, two Wyoming-class, and five old Connecticut-class battleships to the San Diego base in the Pacific Ocean via Panama. โ
"In addition, one of our reconnaissance ships found a flotilla of sixty large British and American ocean-going vessels arriving at the Falkland base off the coast of Argentina, and also found two British and American battle cruisers and heavy cruisers escorting the ship, and we suspect that the destination is most likely Australia."
"In addition, intelligence stations in Delhi and Gapo also detected the arrival of British and French fleets in Delhi and Gapo this morning, and according to preliminary intelligence, these fleets are all carrying army weapons and ammunition."
When Zhang Zuolin closed the folder, the window also remembered the sound of crackling raindrops, and the bone-chilling winter rain densely covered the entire city of Beijing.
