Tonight's dinner party is gone, and I don't have any extra energy to code words, so I just write some essays.

Roughly as originally planned, the 800,000-word pre-war foreshadowing was completed, and then the second volume began in full chapter.

Although this book is in a sense a duck on the shelves, there is no very rigorous, standardized outline and outline, although the organization and logic will be clearer, but it will also limit the casual play when writing.

In the first volume, which was laid down before the war, the general framework and situation have been explained.

Some of the more specialized technical materials and literature have also been collected, and the preparation for the second volume is almost complete.

I've always believed that the whole thing is to tell a story, not to make a blunt statement or list of events, so some of the more important but very uninteresting things have been passed by, such as the introduction of aero-engine technology, the construction of a new automobile assembly base, the details of the parameters in the combat readiness plan, and so on.

Later, the depiction of foreign countries will also increase, and only then will the perspective change from "basically focusing on the Ming Dynasty" to "mostly focusing on the Ming Dynasty".

It should be noted that other countries are easier to write, but the German Society ...... I really can't help it, my pen and ink will be limited, and I will try to make some things show in the character of Chrissy.

As for the total length of this book, I don't like the ultra-long historical essays of 3 million or 4 million words at every turn, because it is destined to be flooded with a lot of water in the later stage, and the trivial things can be perfunctory tens of thousands of words.

Therefore, it is expected that the content of the text will be between 2 million and 2.2 million words, and the extras are not included. Of course, this is only a relatively ideal word count, maybe more, but it is unlikely that the text will exceed 2.5 million words.

The style of writing will not change, and the proportion of various plots will continue to be the situation in the first volume, but if the voice is relatively high, some plots can also be appropriately added, such as daily life, political struggles, war games, or ...... It's not impossible to pretend to be forced to slap your face.

And what's interesting is that I've been reading the post these days, and there are posts arguing about the description of female characters in the current online article, and it's words like "cherry lips", "fragrant shoulders", "willow waist", "jade skin" and so on, but I never used them in the past......

Zhu Lingjing's vertical drawing has been painted by the painter, and the order is hot, and it is only now the turn of the queue; It will probably take some time for the vertical drawing of the perimeter wind.

Finally, I did a gastrointestinal endoscopy a few days ago, and the results were "moderate chronic non-atrophic gastritis, mild intestinal metaplasia" and "mild colitis".

It's generally fine, but it's destined not to be spicy in the future.

Above.
