readx; Chapter 465: The Butterfly Effect

After listening to Huo Hu's words, Huo Feng smiled himself, "Lei Zi, this matter between men and women is very delicate, you guys who haven't married yet won't understand, but you just need to know, now the young master can't use you for the time being! Moreover, we are all here, there are so many troops around, and the young master is also very safe, you don't have to worry about it!"

Huo Feng didn't plan to talk to Huo Lei, a tenacious guy, about the love between men and women, and the love of husband and wife. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info because that pure crush is a waste of your own tongue.

After saying this, Huo Lei scratched his head, although he couldn't understand Huo Hu and Huo Feng's words, but he also knew that the current young master was indeed not in any danger, so he didn't have to worry. So there's no entanglement.

Then, the three of them walked to the gate of the courtyard, then each found a clean place and sat down.

After a period of unspeakable silence, Huo Hu spoke: "Why did the young master find a Western woman this time, I don't know if the old lady can accept it?"

Hearing his words, Huo Feng nodded silently, "The old lady is not a conservative person, and you also heard it just now, she already has the young master's heir, you know that the old lady cares about this the most now!"

"That's what you said!" nodded and after being silent for a while, Huo Hu said again: "However, in this way, our Huo family's lineage is about to be born, if the girl is fine, if the boy is ......!"

Although Huo Hu didn't finish the rest of his words, Huo Feng also understood the meaning of his words.

In the eyes of these Huo family descendants, Huo Shan, who is the head of the Huo family and the founder of the Huo family's armed forces, will definitely ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, so once he has an heir, he will be the prince, and the Huo family's dynasty will also face a succession problem.

According to thousands of years of Chinese tradition, the primogeniture system is definitely the best choice, but as a yellow-skinned and black-eyed Han Chinese. Including them, most people may not be able to accept a prince with obvious Westerner characteristics to inherit the throne!

At that time, the heir will still be the long, this eternal problem that has plagued most dynasties, and even caused the decline of many dynasties and even the destruction of the country, is likely to appear in the future Huo Dynasty.

As you can imagine now, it is likely to be another bloody storm at that time. There are too many such examples in China's more than 2,000 years of feudal history. I can't count them.

Thinking of this, after Huo Hu and Huo Feng glanced at each other, they saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

"Alas, I hope this child is a girl, otherwise it will be really troublesome in the future!" Huo Hu sighed deeply.

Hearing this, Huo Feng also nodded with a heavy face.

At this time. Huo Lei, who was sitting next to the two, never understood what they were saying, and he didn't know why the two of them, who were smiling and excited just now, suddenly had such heavy expressions.

But if he can't figure it out, Horay simply doesn't want to, he is simple-minded. It is not suitable for military and political positions, but it also avoids a lot of troubles.

Leaving Huo Hu and the others worried about the future succession of Huo Jiajun, at this time, nearly 20,000 local residents on the entire Yap Island had become a sensation because of Huo Shan's order.

Under the initiation of Murong Fei, there was a silver dollar paid by the Huo Family Pacific Bank as a guarantee, and almost every household. They all took out the chickens, ducks, fish, meat and vegetables that they were usually reluctant to eat at home.

In the butcher shop in the town, the vegetable vendors are also open to supply, and those who know how to cook directly set up a big pot on the street, and put the washed vegetables and cut meat of the women next to them into the pot and stir-fry.

Smoke rises with a rich fragrance. Scattered from the streets in the center of Yap County, immediately hooked out all the gluttonous worms in the hearts of all the people who smelled it.

As time passes, the same dishes are made. Placed in the center of the street, the 3,000-meter-long table made of more than 1,000 tables makes the atmosphere around it become more and more intense.

And the children in the town are like the New Year, whistling through the crowd in groups, and then taking advantage of the lack of attention of the adults around them, they greedily steal a piece of delicious food from the plate next to them, and then leave with laughter in the laughter and scolding of the adults.

The lively appearance infected all the people around him, and it also made this unprecedented flowing water seat even more lively.

Finally, with the addition of soldiers on board the ship and the arrival of Marines stationed on Yap Island, the atmosphere here reached "gaochao".

And this meal, which was also eaten from noon to evening, was packed up, gradually dispersed, and then went home.

Maybe it's because the dinner was so memorable. In short, since then, the local tradition of every year on May 30 has been formed on Yap Island, where families set up a flowing water feast and then people from all over the county gather for dinner.

Later, almost every year at this time, Yap Island attracts a large number of tourists. This is what Huo Shan did not expect when he held this flowing water banquet on a whim.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After eating at noon, and then settling Helen, Huo Shan took Huo Hu and Huo Feng into the side room.

"Okay, Huo Hu! I've been away for more than three months, so the outside world must be in turmoil now, right?" After the three of them sat down, Huo Shan asked a little impatiently.

"Yes, young master, the world situation is turbulent now, and most European powers have the possibility of falling into war!" Huo Hu said.

Hearing this, Huo Shan had a hint of interest on his face and asked, "Oh, is it? Tell me about it specifically!"

"Okay, young master!"

Huo Hu paused, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he said in a calm tone: "In addition to our war with the Americans, France is now fighting in Annam, trying to turn the entire Indochina Peninsula into their Far Eastern colony. Britain remobilized more than 800,000 troops to fight Egypt again. ”

"Taking advantage of the British focus on Egypt, the Germans are seizing the time to send troops to Africa, and according to our intelligence, their targets this time are Uganda and Kenya!"

"In addition, the Italians are also on the move, and their forward forces have landed on the Red Sea coast of northern Ethiopia. Soon, a large-scale colonial war will soon begin!"

The Russian Empire, on the other hand, was not very peaceful, and their ambitions to seek access to the Mediterranean Sea rose again by taking advantage of the British attention on Egypt, and now their forces were already in confrontation with the Ottoman border guards in the Caucasus and the Balkans. The eleventh Russo-Turkish war may begin in the next second. Then there was Austria-Hungary, whose troops were also being drawn to the southeastern frontier, and the Russians' military operations had stimulated their sensitive nerves. And, now, with the collision between these three countries, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro are also on the move, and the Balkans have a tendency to turn into powder kegs. ”

The Balkan region, with many ethnic groups and complex forms, was the beginning of the outbreak of the First World War, so Huo Shan was not surprised by the chaos here, but he didn't expect that the contradictions here would already show signs of breaking out. This was somewhat unexpected.

However, according to Huo Shan's understanding of the British, they were absolutely unwilling to see the Russians expand into the Mediterranean, and keeping the Russians on land was a diplomatic strategy equal to Britain's continental balance policy. Therefore, this Russian commotion should soon provoke a strong British counterattack.

Although the British encountered difficulties in Egypt and were firmly dragged in Egypt by the Egyptian rescue ** secretly supported by the Huo Jiajun, it was the British Army. The British Empire is guaranteed to dominate the world, but the world's most powerful navy is very quiet.

If the Russians could not defeat the British fleet, then they risked the destruction of their own fleet and the destruction of coastal cities in the Baltic Sea, gaining access to the Mediterranean, then under the powerful naval fire of the British, it would not have done much.

Therefore, this time, Huo Shan judged that the Russians were more just trying to take advantage of the trouble encountered by the British in Egypt, bluffing, and taking the opportunity to make a little profit.

After all, their domestic economic crisis had already drained Russia's coffers, and the Russians did not want to risk war with Britain, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire to wage a war that was destined to cost more than gain.

"Moreover, because of the transfer of a large number of British troops, the situation in the Middle East, Afghanistan, and South Africa has begun to become unstable, and maybe in the next day, war will break out in these British colonies!"

Speaking of this, Huo Hu took a deep breath, and finally said: "Now the political situation in the whole of Europe is probably only Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, which have declined, but when the smoke of gunpowder is full in Europe and the whole world is turbulent, I am afraid it will be difficult for them to stand alone!"

After listening to Huo Hu's words, Huo Shan was quite surprised in his heart, because he didn't expect that after dragging the British in Egypt, he would have such a big impact on the world situation.

"Could it be that this is the legendary 'butterfly effect'?" With this thought, Huo Shan shook his head lightly in his heart.

"It seems that after we mobilized the British this time, the powers that were suppressed by them have begun to eagerly launch their ambitions for foreign expansion! Hehe, this is very good, only the more chaotic the world, the more opportunities we have!" Huo Shan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Huo Hu and Huo Feng also smiled and nodded. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
