"I said Your Excellency, Prime Minister. What do you want South Africa and Gibraltar to do all of a sudden? Didn't we discuss these two places, and we won't interfere? ”

Early in the morning, Long Guozhang's loud voice sounded in the garden, seeing that the war was about to officially end, and the marriage between his daughter and the emperor should also be done, so he ran here very diligently in the past few days, almost making Li Mo think that this guy was going to build a warship to expand the army again. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Long Guozhang, who was drinking tea in the gazebo, squinted his eyes. Although he said that he didn't want South Africa and Gibraltar, the few people next to him knew in their hearts that the big dream of this commander-in-chief of the navy was probably to plant the imperial dragon flag in every seaport in the world, and then wrap the world's oceans in his boundless sea of blood, and then stretch out the dragon's claws and press a handprint, and then multiply a sentence

"It's all mine!"

So everyone didn't seem to hear the shouting of the naval commander, Chen Ping looked at Li Xiuyan, who was standing next to him in a military uniform and had just come back, picked up a waist knife full of gems from the table, and asked in surprise: "Xiuyan. Is this really the saber used by Louis XVI? ”

"Chief of Staff, aren't you embarrassing me? I don't understand this," Li Xiuyan took off his military hat and scratched his head. smiled: "This is what Liu Jingpeng and they confiscated, but what I heard him say is indeed genuine." ”

"This Liu Jingpeng, the ability to see the ride is not small.

Rong Ji picked up the South American scepter, his eyes narrowed with a smile. Although he is the Speaker. In this war, he is not as glamorous as the Prime Minister and the Chief of the General Staff, and even inferior to a general who leads the troops, but he is really one of the Optimus Primes of this country. What's more, he is still the leader of the opposition party, if it were not for the "one nation" he proposed in the party before the war. One Country". He said that he would put aside the dispute between parties and political opinions, and fully cooperate with the ruling party to win this war that is related to the country, the future and the future of the nation

"That's it"

Long Guozhang grinned and said: "I heard from the people in the transportation department that the east coast of the United States has been emptied by him, and this little one has calculated the old Guantanamo base, and the base has been filled with miasma, after the Fifth Fleet crossed the Panama Canal. You can only go to Bermuda or float on the sea! Damn it!.

Li Xiuyan shrunk his neck beside him, and secretly said that he had made up his mind, and this matter must not be known to the commander. Otherwise, the ass will have to bloom.

From a dozen gifts, Limer singled out an eighteenth-century Russian vice admiral insignia, and the insignia was engraved on the reverse side of the Pyotr-Alekseevich-Romanov, confirming that it was used by Peter the Great, who contributed to Russia's entry into the modern industrial state. The guy who is known as one of the great emperors of the world, likes to be called vice admiral by others, but unfortunately now his grandson is constantly weakening in internal friction

"Da Zhuang. Send this to Yunia and say it's a gift from me. Everything else is multiplied. Waiting for the Taiping to set up a royal exhibition hall, so that everyone can open their eyes. ”

After hearing this, Du Dazhuang, who had already been attracted by the table full of treasures, immediately beckoned the guards to carefully put away all the things, and everyone was not surprised that Li Mo wanted to hold an exhibition of royal treasures, because he had said this after getting the treasures of the Qing Dynasty before the founding of the People's Republic of China and the things he dug up from Nicholas II last time, but he was secretly amused that he gave the vice admiral badge of Peter the Great to Unia. Looking at Emperor Li, it is really a good match for both the family and the country

As soon as Du Dazhuang put his things away, he heard a report outside, turned his head and saw that Wang Shizhen, who had been in Germany for four years, had already walked in with a smile on his face.

"When did you arrive?"

"Shizhen has seen the emperor and just got off the plane. I went to the Ministry of Defense and heard that everyone was taking advantage of you, so I took the liberty to take it. Please don't blame the emperor. ”

"Okay, okay. Well ridden! Li Mo hurriedly picked up Wang Shizhen, who was bent down and saluted. Hush Han asked Nuan: "Hireqing, you have really worked hard in Germany in the past four years, are you getting better?" ”

"Thank you for the emperor's concern, I wasn't very comfortable when I set off, but I didn't expect to get off the plane and smell the smell of Beijing. Still much better. ”

"Haha. I don't think it's a physical illness, it's homesickness. ※※※※※I'm going to ※※※ net ※ (5) ※ (1) ※ Ο※ ΝΕΤ※※" Tang Shaoyi smiled beside him

"Yes, after leaving for four years and then going back, I almost don't know the road... After Wang Shizhen smiled and greeted everyone, Li Mo hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "Sit down, all sit on Xiuyan. You go and order, and set up a banquet for the appointment secretary at noon."

After a bit of excitement, Chen Ping first turned to the topic and asked, "Pingqing, you just returned from Ouhong, how is the situation over there?" ”

"Trouble!" Wang Shizhen picked up the teacup and thought about it. The word "using a U Cheng" to start with also made a few people who were not familiar with it secretly scratch their heads. The surrender of Britain and the United States is only a matter of compensation and time, and it stands to reason that it should be too peaceful at this moment, so why make trouble?

Wang Shizhen moistened his throat, put down the cup and said with a smile: "It's not the flying strip we proposed, now Ouhong has made a lot of trouble for this matter, especially Germany, which blames us a lot for such a big deal, and some newspapers before I returned to the newspaper also publicly described that we want to provoke a dispute between Europe and Asia, which is really ill-intentioned!" ”

"Hmph, let's not talk about his trillions of reparations, he said that we want to provoke a dispute between Europe and Asia, are the Germans too lenient?" Long Guozhang was the first to jump up, so angry that he couldn't simply put the rest of the "silence" on Germany's head. Chen Ping grabbed him with a smile and said with a smile: "I said old dragon, this is a good thing!" It shows that we are strong, and Germany will not be able to contain our situation in the near future

We can only make a strategy to force us to make concessions. ”

"Oh, tooth. Shou is right

Tang Shaoyi also said: "Germany is not the main problem, and there are not many flying strips that have a close relationship with Germany. Feng Qi sent a message saying that Germany's dissatisfaction is now Gibraltar and South Africa, because we hinted at the last Cairo meeting that we should not do it, and there are also a lot of complaints about our US policy of severe punishment."

"It's normal and we're going to punish Britain lightly. Germany also wants to punish the United States lightly, all in order to prevent the other party from living in peace," Li Mo waved his hand slightly. Said: "But since we threw Gibraltar and South Africa. We are going to bite these two places to death, so that Germany thinks that we are imperative. After that, everyone had to give up altogether! ”

"What the emperor said is. Besides, we can talk to the British about it. It also lets them know our attitude and position, and if we can keep these two places, I believe that the British government's attitude towards us can change a lot. Wang Shizhen nodded in agreement: "As for Germany's expansion in Africa, don't worry too much, in Shizhen's view, the big problem between our two countries is in the interests of the Atlantic and Ouhong. After certainly impossible to get Panama and Suez . Germany clearly doesn't want to stretch its feet too far. So Bermuda and Malta are eye-catching.

As for South Africa and Gibraltar, it can't be! As long as we bite the bullet, he would rather give it back to Britain than let us occupy it. Because then it would be tantamount to being suppressed in the Atlantic!

After we reached an agreement with Argentina to lease the Falkland Islands, Germany has made it clear that it wants to get South Georgia, which is tied to the Falkland Islands, with St. Helena and Cape Verde. We won't be locked in the South Atlantic estuary."

"Hehe, Pingqing really saw it through" Tang Shaoyi smiled slightly, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Recently, many people say that our hands are too long. Even in the country, there are such voices. I feel that too many control areas will lead to the dispersion of our forces and the exhaustion of national strength. ”

Tang Shaoyi's question made Wang Shizhen hesitate.

He is a soldier and is the chief of the general staff of the three armed forces. Knowing that what Li Mo hates is the army's interference in politics, so in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the constitution made a constraint, according to the constitution, the army is the emperor's army, and it must strictly abide by neutrality in politics. Only responsible for royalty and national security. Even during the voting period of the domestic general election, the generals were mostly reluctant to express their attitude

The previous forces scored can be considered a military topic. Because it is related to the external security situation of China in the future, and this issue obviously has political content such as national governance and colonization. One of his brothers, the chief of the General Staff, said that he was afraid of violating the taboo.

Li Mo saw Wang Shizhen's thoughts, and was not only satisfied with the army's attitude in implementing neutrality, but also wanted to hear Wang Shizhen's views on being in Europe for many years. So he immediately said: "Although the secretary of appointment has spoken bluntly"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

With Li Mo's words, Wang Shizhen let go of his worries. said bluntly: "This problem is not worth worrying about at all."

"Oh? Why is that? Rong Kui glanced at Long Guozhang next to him. quipped: "Doesn't Pingqing want to learn from our old dragon king and plant flags all over the sea?" ”

"Ha line"

The speaker's words provoked a burst of laughter. Long Guozhang was thick-skinned and didn't even raise his eyebrows, but Wang Shizhen waved his hand and smiled: "I don't have the ambition of Commander Long. Still. The reason why we are not worried is because we do not do the same thing as Germany! ”

"Oh? What's the difference? ”

Wang Shizhen looked at Chen Ping, who was asking, and said slowly: "I have been in Germany for many years, and my deep impression is not the combat effectiveness of the German ** team. It's not a strict military appearance, but the desire of the whole of Germany to go out of Europe and the land!

Compared with Britain and France, Germany, which was nominally unified after the Franco-Prussian War, started too late and missed the golden age of European expansion. As a result, the Germans could only watch as Britain and France reaped unimaginable benefits from their offshore colonies.

Now this war is to let Germany see its own weakness clearly, to put it mildly, if Britain and France had not had the support of huge overseas colonies, they would have been defeated by Germany long ago! Even if we win the war at present, it is because we have cut off the communication between Britain and France and the colonies, and then cut off the export of the United States. It eventually led to a crash.

Plus we got Australia, the Pacific Islands and India, Persia and other regions. It further stimulated Germany's thirst for foreign colonies, and it was certain that the remaining colonies in the hands of Britain and France were inevitable

So. Once Germany gets the colonies. It will surely take plus direct domination in order to catch it to the death! ”

"This is reasonable, this is like giving you a beggar who hasn't eaten meat for a few years, if you put a bowl of braised pork in front of you, you can make sure that he would rather die than let go." Tang Shaoyi made an analogy.

"The direct way to rule is the traditional colonial model. In addition, Britain and France have deep roots, and if they want to really embrace the colonial area, Germany must also station troops for a long time after the war to manage it" Wang Shizhen continued: "And my country has basically given up the non-Hong. Australia and the Pacific Islands are sparsely populated. Relatively easy to manage.

In my opinion, the big problems in the future will be none other than India, Persia and the United States

India has a large population. Beliefs are complex. Islam and Hindu sectarian conflicts are serious, as long as we refrain from getting involved. Just let them beat themselves up. We want a population and a market!

Persia is more complicated, but we don't have to get involved in complex ethnic disputes, just make sure that Greater Kuwait, the Sinai Peninsula, Baku and Djibouti secure the Suez Canal

As for the latter one United States. Wang Shizhen saw it

Eye Li Mo. Laughed!.. Unless we want to take care of it for the long term. Otherwise, why worry?..

"That's a good point." Li Enfu, who had not spoken, continued: "If Germany really swallows so many French and British non-Hong colonies, it will inevitably consume too much national strength in the independence movement in various places. ”

"That's a good point. But if you want to make Germany enough in the national independence movement. I'm afraid it's going to be hard."

"What the chief of staff said is good, but it's not difficult to say," Wang Shizhen narrowed his eyes. Suddenly smiled: "Aren't we able to get Madagascar?" If the emperor doesn't want land. It would be better to build only a military base on Reunion Island and then prop up a model of democracy and make Madagascar independent..

"Let Madagascar be independent! As soon as Wang Shizhen finished speaking, Rong Feng and Tang Shaoyi, who are sensitive to politics, were the first to stand up and applaud after a while

The reason is simple. If Madagascar becomes independent, then as long as the interests of China are guaranteed, it will become a ding. African model, and then this big island can export revolution to the African continent!

Maybe this process will take a long time. First of all, we must first ensure the interests of Hua there, and then slowly find a proxy defense to make Madagascar or other regions independent, although it is slow, but the spark can start a prairie fire, as long as the fire is lit, it will definitely fall into turmoil and chaos, and then Germany will not give up. Otherwise, you'll be dragged into the quagmire

"Haha, if you listen to the words of the secretary, you can read more than 10,000 books!"

Lee Eun-fu high-fives. Wang Shizhen waved his hand and said modestly and seriously: "Mr. Li praised it, Shizhen can't help it." Britain and France mostly adopted laissez-faire and internal contradictions in their treatment of the colonies. Basically, it is a rule of inaction, and the German life is rigorous. If they are allowed to integrate the vast resources of Africa, I am afraid that it will not take 20 years, and we will have to face a big war! ”

Li Mo also nodded secretly. That's what he's afraid of!

In the final analysis, the British and French treated the colonies as if you did not rebel and paid every month. I don't care about the attitude, but Germany is like a ding. Gears, if you let the non-Hong and Ouhong start smoothly a little bit, with the vast resources of Africa, this time also preserved the intact industrial system of Germany. It is bound to become a big opponent who will take advantage of himself!

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yan Fu has just sent a message" While everyone was discussing, Duan Fei suddenly ran in and out of a hurry: "France has agreed to Germany's conditions for ceding land, and is willing to hand over French Algeria, Morocco, West Africa, and Equatorial Guinea to Germany, and at the same time hand over Madagascar, Reunion Islands, and Comoros Islands to us.

In addition to giving up all overseas colonies, the French government of Sneijder had also agreed in principle to hand over to Germany Verdun, Langlet and even Besançon west of Lorraine, including on the Meuse, so that the German-French demarcation line would be directly advanced to the Marne and Saône canals!

"What!"

Before everyone could finish digesting this, Duan Fei had already continued: "Besides. The German Navy and British time blocked the whole dings last night. Scapa Bay Anchorage. Although it has not yet been issued, we estimate that this is to take advantage of this to force Britain to agree to the conditions as soon as possible!

And there's one more thing worth noting!

Intelligence has confirmed that the German Navy, including the battleship York, the Whip Bavaria-class battleships, and the secret De Vellinger-class battlecruiser are not in the fleet blockading Scarpa Bay!

According to credible information, they and another Cape Verdean detachment had bypassed Britain and entered the North Atlantic, the line of destination.

Duan Fei said in one breath that he suddenly stopped here, glanced at everyone and said heavily: "The destination is likely to be the East Coast of the United States!" ”

Li Xiuyan, who had just returned from there, stood up suddenly, he didn't expect the German Navy to be comfortable for a few days, so he began to think about moving around to challenge the Imperial fleet!

Li Mo was slightly surprised, and his mind suddenly flashed with the picture of the Cold War that began immediately after the end of World War II. Is the Cold War about to begin?

"Wilhelm II wants to test our bottom line!" Facing everyone's look of surprise at the news. Chen Ping seemed to have expected this kind of scene, and after looking at Li Mo, who had the same look on his face, he suddenly asked, "Old Dragon. I remember that the ninth and tenth Xiqin-class ships have already been delivered, right? ”

"The ninth Song Guo has been delivered at the end of last month, and the tenth Lu Guo will also end the sea trials in three days, and the flight wing has also completed training!" After many years of friendship, Long Guozhang immediately heard the meaning of Chen Ping's words, rolled up his sleeves fiercely and said, "Say it. What do you want me to do?! ”

"Then let's go! Take out all your possessions. Go and support Yan Fu and Feng Qi! ”

"Yuanshou, isn't this appropriate? In case of causing concern in Germany, will multiply. When Rong Shao heard this, his mind suddenly flooded with majestic battleships and planes, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Mo, who suddenly got up, waved his hand: "There's nothing wrong, we have all experienced such a huge battle, what are you afraid of?"

Didn't Wilhelm II want to test our bottom line? Then we'll show him a ride! You have to change your mindset and now we are the victors. We have the right to fight for the benefits we deserve! Instead of looking ahead and being nosed by others!

Strange sparked a cold war! ”
