"It's really cold. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)"

Li Enfu, who accompanied the inspection, wrapped his clothes tightly, and at the end of August, the evening autumn dawn actually rose in mist, which made people feel a hint of autumn coolness.

"It's good to be cooler, just to cool off, but it's too hot on the other side of the Atlantic."

"Hehe, the emperor originally wanted to avoid those miscellaneous things." Hearing Li Mo's pun, Li Enfu pursed his lips and laughed, after the Battle of Bermuda, the situation in the United States and the world was completely chaotic, and if he continued to stay in Beijing, he would really be busy to death.

Li Mo smiled noncommittally and asked, "I heard that there was a telegram from Germany?" ”

"Hmm."

Li Enfu nodded and said: "I can't sit still, the United States can't hold out for long, Germany is bent on rushing out of the North Sea, but Britain is now desperately blocking the North Sea, I heard that the last two ships of the Hood class were all delivered yesterday, and Germany is afraid that it will not have much advantage in attacking."

I heard that Tirpitz is now running the shipyard three times a day, urging the York-class battleships to enter service as soon as possible, but unfortunately their navy has been delayed for too long for land warfare, and if they want to enter service, they will have to wait until the beginning of next year as early as possible.

Seeing that we are blocked on the east coast of the United States, we are not able to reach the Atlantic, and American interests are again stuffed into us\\1. The German high command was anxious to attack Britain, but was afraid that we would take too many benefits, so he sent a telegram to Shaochuan, suggesting that a second conference of the alliance should be held, saying that it was to coordinate the various battlefields to end the war as much as possible, but according to my estimates, it was likely that there would be a showdown. ”

"Has the meeting been scheduled for a time and place?"

"From the beginning of September, Germany initially preferred Vienna or Switzerland, but we settled in Cairo."

"Cairo is good, where East meets West, go."

Li Mo stretched his waist and said with a smile: "At this time of the war, the distribution of interests after the war of 4466 should also be made clear" You will let Du Dazhuang send a telegram to Chen Ping and Tang Shaoyi in a while, "Africa, we must ensure the interests of Djibouti, Egypt, the Suez Canal, the Seychelles, the Reunion Islands, and the island of Madagascar on the Indian Ocean side, and the Mediterranean Sea demands the right to garrison Malta!"

After the war, we will have to get me the Crozet Islands, Armstrong Islands, King Edward Islands, Falkland Islands, South Georgia, these islands close to the south, and in addition, we can do without the East African region for Japan and North Korea to gain control of Italy and France. ”

Okay! So many extreme southern islands have to be taken, and the Falkland Islands and South Georgia Islands are also hitched, plus control of Suez and Panama, isn't this encircling the Atlantic, and this also says that "Wilhelm II is really going to cry to death!"

Of course, Li Enfu didn't dare to say it explicitly, but it is definitely unlikely that South Georgia and Falkland want to get both, for the German Navy that urgently needs a military base in the Atlantic, this kind of strategic passage must be contained, and if it really wants to surround the Atlantic, it is estimated that it will be in conflict with Germany in a few years, so he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Falkland and South Georgia are both located in the South Atlantic Ocean, and control the strategic passage of the Atlantic Ocean in and out of South America and Africa, I'm afraid..." ”

"Nose is Falkland." Li Mo also felt that it was not in the interests of the current head-on conflict with Germany, everyone was an ally, and it was not worth tearing his face, so he thought about it and said: "Don't force it to take it, you will send a telegram to Chen Ping later, if there is no big problem with the Nanchu", let me go south to visit Argentina, and then pack and sell the Falkland base to Argentina, and then rent it back immediately after the sale! ”

Li Enfu couldn't turn a corner, the Falkland base is indeed very close to Argentina, and the Argentine government has always claimed sovereignty over there, "If it weren't for the fear of Britain, it would have been fought back a long time ago." ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Since Germany is not willing to let us take Falkland, then simply let everyone not occupy it, sell it to Argentina in the form of war trophies, and then lease it back and become a naval base shared by the two countries, so that it can not only avoid the exclusive tongue" but also win over Argentina, a big South American country!

Besides, as long as Panama is taken and the Suez Canal is controlled, "Falkland will not be a big problem even if it is taken back by Argentina in the future."

The emperor's abacus is too good!

Li Mo couldn't say that this was a method that he came up with from the Battle of the Falklands in the future" Looking around, he didn't see Yunia and his heir brother and asked with a smile: "What about Yunia's sister and brother?" ”。

"I'm going to visit the refugees." Li Enfu said with a smile: "The bill submitted by Councilor He and Xiong Xiling is very good, it is very good to organize these Russian refugees to come to the south to work, limit the scope of their activities, and let the factories and enterprises supervise themselves!" This also reduces the pressure on this side.

"Yes, yes.

Li Mo nodded: "Their sisters and brothers should also be faced, know more about the suffering of the people, and know how to cherish the hard-won power in the future!" ”

"Yes, Russia is making such a fuss, I don't know how long it will take, the intelligence says that the Don River is already full of corpses, the population has begun to decrease significantly, the land is barren, and sooner or later there will be a major food shortage, and by that time I'm afraid - old"

Li Mo did not know that there would be a food shortage in Russia, this is written in the history books, and now this civil war is obviously bigger and more cruel than later generations know, because almost two-thirds of Russia's territory has been cut off, and the population is becoming more and more concentrated and compressed, and I am afraid that only God knows how many people will die after the food shortage occurs in the future.

"Leave them alone." Li Mo waved his hand: "I will tell Shen Hao that if there is another large-scale border crossing, in addition to technical personnel, priority will be given to ensuring some Jews, and in addition to this, they will be expelled to Central Asia as much as possible."

In addition, the troops should not be idle, just carry out a few cross-border arrests and other actions if they have nothing to do, and warn the Russian side, there is a change of master here, not they are in charge! We're not philanthropists here......

”

With the meandering waters of the Nile, the glittering golden tops of mosques, and the crisp and distant bells under the majestic pyramids, Cairo's ancient city still exudes an intoxicating melody even in times of war.

The successive victories of the Central Powers brought Egypt back into the arms of the Ottoman Empire, and the Egyptian chieftains immediately expressed their loyalty to the Ottoman Mohammed V.

However, the weakness of the Ottoman Empire was a foregone conclusion, especially the continuous ethnic strife in the country, and even if Azerbaijan and Baku were obtained, it would only be a return to the past, so Mohammed V accepted the conditions for Egypt to continue to govern itself, and the land was still nominally part of the Ottoman Empire.

With the Chinese taking control of the Suez Canal, a series of military cooperation agreements such as the lease of the Sinai Peninsula, Port Said, and Port Suez were quickly reached with the Ottomans and local chiefs.

Egypt is a typical agricultural country, a serious lack of industry, but the excellent sunshine makes it the main production area of cotton huā, high-quality long-staple cotton makes merchants flock to it, coupled with the acceleration of domestic development in the northwest and north, the garment industry is booming, the demand for cotton huā has also begun to heat up, many companies and enterprises that have made a fortune with the army have begun to wave blue coins, using the deterrent power of the army to hoard cotton huā.

The military has always been very "enthusiastic" about this kind of commercial competition in the form of capital plunder, and even simply expelled many merchants from the former Allied countries, especially Britain, France and Italy, on the charge of collaborating with the enemy, and then packaged their assets and sold them at a low price to domestic merchants.

The locals in Egypt have long been surprised by this kind of thing, and even welcomed it, because their British, US dollars and fiat currency have depreciated to a pulp, and those Chinese businessmen waving azure banknotes have become a big economic rescue force in Egypt.

Several Mustang fighter planes flew over Cairo, and the locals, who had long been surprised by Chinese planes, raised their heads and looked at them and went about their work, but the large number of soldiers who began to appear in the streets and alleys made everyone feel a little worried, as if something important was going to happen in Cairo.

"Prime Minister, this is the list of delegations. In addition, German Chancellor Theobarden von Batemann, Holwig arrived in Istanbul yesterday for a visit. ”

Inside and outside the famous Cairo Hotel, it has been surrounded by Chinese marines with loaded guns, and the sniper rifles on the street and the armored vehicles parked at the door have made the atmosphere here a little more solemn, but the boss doesn't care, the generous Chinese army has made him smile and squint, so he specially invited a few Chinese chefs at a high price to entertain mysterious guests from afar.

After Feng Qi pushed the door and walked into the room and handed over the information to Tang Shaoyi, he continued: "The Ministry of Intelligence has confirmed that during the meeting between Bateman and Mohammed V, they asked the Ottomans to support Germany, strengthen their control over Africa and the Mediterranean, and promise to hand over Cyprus to the Ottomans for continued jurisdiction after the war. ”

"Hehe, take us as a favor, this calculation is good." Tang Shaoyi smiled, in fact, after the Seventh Fleet seized Malta, Britain's control of Cyprus has existed in name only, but the Ottoman army is currently entangled in the North African battlefield.

China has not yet intervened in Cyprus, but Germany has jumped out first to use it as a favor, which is really a bit ridiculous. However, Tang Shaoyi was not angry, because it can be seen that Germany really has no cards to play.

"Do you know what is the bottom line of Germany?"

"I don't know yet.

Feng Qi shook his head: "Germany is very tightly covered" Deputy Chief of General Staff and Ambassador Wang Zhengting have tried in many ways, but they have not yet made their hole cards clear, but according to some indications, Germany has put its main attack on Africa and South America. ”

"Oh?" Tang Shaoyi lit a cigarette and frowned suddenly: "Is there no United States?" ”

"There is no news on this at the moment, but it is impossible not to have American interests, after all, Germany has a large number of descendants in the United States, but Wilhelm II and the German High Command have no great hope of digging out too many American interests from us, so it is very likely that we will exchange our interests in Europe and Africa."

"What about Spain and Italy?"

"Spain is in a mess, the country's grass has spread to the countryside, the grain harvest in the first half of the year has also been badly poor, Alfonso XIII is currently hiding in the Valencia naval base, Mr. Snow has gone to make contact, and he will know tomorrow if he can see him." Feng Qi continued: "The current situation in Italy has also changed a lot, and Emanuele III has ordered the prime minister and some government officials to be arrested as scapegoats, accusing them of shielding him and the people of surrendering to the enemy, but there is no word yet on how to deal with it.

The situation in the country is also chaotic at the moment, especially since our victory in Bermuda, where there have been many riots, and it is now said that there is not enough food to supply some of the major cities, and there is already a great famine in the countryside. ”

"Hehe, in this way, our food should be useful."

"Yes, the emperor still had the foresight to start hoarding food after the war against Russia, I think we can use grain to hold Germany hostage in this negotiation, unless they don't want to win, or they will have to compromise because of the lack of food."

Tang Shaoyi nodded, lifted the curtain to look outside, and asked, "Over there in Britain and the United States."

"Someone has been sent to make contact."

Tang Shaoyi pumped \\1. After all, after the war, everyone still has to sit down and talk, and it is much better to give some sweetness at this time than empty words.

Thinking back to the negotiations that were about to start, Tang Shaoyi asked, "Feng Qi, do you think we should use this negotiation as a breakthrough?" ”

If you want to get the first chance in a major negotiation, it is extremely important to find the enemy's soft underbelly, so Feng Qi thought for a while and said: "I think we should make a fuss about Italy." ”

"Oh?"

Feng Qi said: "In terms of strength, Italy is not strong, but the geographical location is too important.

For Germany, it must be a long-term strategy to contain French revenge in the long term after the war, and it is difficult to do this from a historical point of view, unless Germany has been occupying Paris, but even Wilhelm II did not dare to think about this, so they need an ally who can flank France.

Italy is in a good geographical location, bypassing Monaco to Nice and Marseille, and has always been an ally of Germany, if it were not for the wrong team this time, France would not have been able to concentrate on fighting Germany on the Western Front.

Moreover, after we occupied Malta, Germany also urgently needed to occupy a place in the Mediterranean, although Austria-Hungary and Ottoman were both Mediterranean countries, but the former lacked a good port, and the domestic national problem was very complicated, and the latter's industrial strength was too poor, lacking the industrial capacity to support the fleet, so it was a good choice to pull Italy into its arms.

Sicily is only one strait from Malta, and Taranto is a rare harbor that Germany cannot fail to see.

Therefore, I think that this time Germany will definitely propose to punish Italy lightly, bring Emanuele III back to the alliance, and re-establish a solid German-Italian relationship, so that it can obtain a stable and strategically supportive Mediterranean barrier after the war!

If this is the case, then we might as well take advantage of Germany's eagerness to pull Italy into its arms, and use the grain lever to make Germany understand that we can completely sway Italy, only for the sake of allies supporting them in exchange for some interests on the North American continent. ”

"Change North America? Hehe, did you forget Malta? ”

"I didn't forget, though." Feng Qi said confidently: "Our navy has occupied Malta, who can take it back at this moment?" Moreover, if Germany pulls Italy into its arms, it will have a base to contain Malta, and there is no need to fight us to the end on this issue. ”

"Italy!"

Tang Shaoyi muttered to himself and nodded: "Go and prepare, this Cairo meeting is too important for us." ”

"This is our battlefield." @。
