Lin Ji's intelligence agency is certainly powerful. After all, the spies also enjoy the halo bonus of Lin Youde, with higher work efficiency and stronger initiative. However, the old colonial empire showed its hundreds of years of accumulation, and the British successfully concealed it.
, concealed the matter of supporting new Russian equipment, so that Lin Youde received the report only the day before yesterday.
Of course, Lin Youde immediately forwarded this report to Yuan Shikai - the command system of the army and navy was incompatible, and Lin Youde could not directly contact the frontline commanders.
Because of this, Lin Youde did not wait for Yuan Shikai's reply, but waited for the report that the Russian army had deployed Shenji. Obviously the Russians were ready to use unconventional forces to show off the victory with China.
He was anxiously waiting for reports from the front line.
Most of Lin Youde's small team was not present. In order to deal with future situations, they all shouldered heavy responsibilities. Tomoe had already left for Japan yesterday to coordinate with Ise Shrine to mobilize the Shinji. Chen Haihui and Du Qifeng were busy arranging for the Marine Corps to join the war.
, and more peripherally, He Yuzhao, Chen Hongda and others are already carrying out ideological mobilization in the army.
In the huge war room, besides the staff, the only people who accompanied Lin Youde were his wife, Xun, who had basically no other specialties except force, and Luo Tianyi, who was eating a lot of cake.
"The chewy texture of these cakes is really good," she continued to comment after eating, but the dregs in her mouth fell all over the table, "It's just that it was too laborious to cut and it was too heavy."
Lin Youde glanced sideways at the little girl who was enjoying the meal, and truthfully expressed his inner feelings: "I actually envy your optimistic personality."
"Hurrying won't solve the problem. If you pace back and forth here, even if you trample the floor, it won't reduce the casualties on the front line. Besides, those goddesses are not your goddesses, so you don't need to be so anxious.
"
Lin Youde curled his lips. Luo Tianyi was indeed right, but what Lin Youde was worried about was not how many goddesses were lost, but what happened next. If the losses were too large, the people in the country would undoubtedly attribute the defeat to Lin Youde's monopoly on rx.
They are unwilling to contribute this technology to the country.
Next, they will 100% ask Lin Youde to hand over his technology.
In fact, Lin Youde is not afraid of handing over technology to the country, but the problem is that once it is given to the people in the country, it is equivalent to giving the British an opportunity. The British just copied it and created the current equipment. If they are allowed to
Now that I have obtained the complete technical information of rx, what else can I do?
Until Lin Youde develops a business that can compete head-on with the British Empire, the secrets of RX and related technologies must be kept secret at all costs.
Therefore, Lin Youde is now praying from the bottom of his heart for a miracle to happen on the front line and that the army's goddesses will not suffer too serious losses.
However, Lin Youde didn’t believe in God, not in the last time and space, but in this time and space - he was the son of God, the protagonist chosen by some great existence in this world, so he only believed in himself, so he found that at this moment he didn’t
Someone to pray to.
So he sighed and muttered angrily: "Damn the British."
"They are a group of pirates disguised as gentlemen. It is normal for them to do such shameless things. They have done it countless times in the past." Josephine is indeed a French girl and will not let go of any opportunity to slander Britain.
.
Just when Lin Youde was about to reply to his wife, Victoria entered the room.
"Hey, you're not having sex with your wife?" The girl's fair face was full of surprise.
"Even I will look at the situation. How is the situation?"
While Lin Youde was asking questions, Luo Tianyi also turned his attention to Victoria, and accidentally bit the hard nut...
"Ah, my teeth hurt..."
Viktoria ignored the cries of foodie and reported to Lin Youde: "On the way to the battle, the cold current from the Arctic suddenly took control of the war zone. Due to the sharp cooling of the battle airspace, the gods on both sides had to suspend the battle. The Russian side did not have enough equipment because of the British.
Suitable for fighting in such severe cold, and their own illegal operations, they suffered heavy losses. The Federation also lost nearly one-third of the Shenji, but most of them were killed or injured in the battle. When the cold wave came
During the attack, most of the goddesses who were still able to fight landed in time to avoid the cold."
Lin Youde raised his eyebrows. He had watched "The Day After Tomorrow" and knew that cold air would get colder in the air than on the ground, but he really didn't expect General Dong to be so powerful.
"So, it was the Russians on the front line who suffered the greater loss?"
Viktoria nodded: "That's right. A large number of Russian goddesses ignored the instructions for the British new equipment. It was too heavy, and after the engine froze, it turned into a lump of iron and fell. However, the federal side
The Shenji were in a state of exhaustion due to the strong resistance against enemies with superior equipment before the arrival of the cold wave, but I think the remaining Shenji in Russia have retained considerable mental strength."
"But they didn't dare to attack rashly because of their numbers." Lin Youde turned around and looked at the map of Siberia on the wall of the war room, "Although we took some detours, the situation eventually developed into a stalemate as we expected.
"
At this time, Victoria sighed forcefully.
This gave Lin Youde a bad feeling.
"On the contrary, from the intelligence we have received, the Russians are preparing to launch an attack in the severe cold."
Lin Youde held his forehead and cursed in his heart that it was amazing that he was not afraid of the cold.
"Not only that, the European Bureau's intelligence also pointed out that Russian troops were moving on a large scale in the Balkans, while the intelligence provided by the Bolsheviks pointed out that White troops were gathering in Omsk."
"Is the target Xinjiang..."
The federal border guards are just empty frames. If the Russians really want to break into Xinjiang and Outer Mongolia, they can only count on Yuan Shikai's army to put out the fire. But with this distance and the poor transportation conditions, the Russians will not be able to kill them with a knife.
Just kidding.
"The Russian army dared to transfer the garrison in the Balkans," Luo Tianyi puffed up her cheeks, and her full mouth made her voice sound loud. "Aren't they afraid that Austria and Turkey will stab them?"
"Then there's no need to ask, Britain must have given them a guarantee." Lin Youde shook his head as he said, "Isabella, one day I will beat you to the point of licking you..."
Josephine coughed lightly.
Lin Youde was shocked and then changed his words: "Kneel down and beg for mercy. I must let you kneel down and beg for mercy."
"The current situation is that it is key for Britain to stop its secret support for Russia." Josephine stood up from the chair and cast her eager eyes on her husband. "I can go back to my natal family in France..."
"France will not enter the war."
"But pressure can be put on the UK."
Lin Youde thought for a while and continued to shake his head.
"Unreliable." If pressure had been effective, mankind would not have been so inextricable in the first half of the twentieth century. In this era, Bismarck's words are undoubtedly the most applicable: all major current problems cannot be solved by speeches
What can be solved by majority resolution can only be solved with iron and blood.
"We need to use a more direct and straightforward approach to get the British to stop." With this, an idea had formed in Lin Youde's mind. He looked at his wife and asked, "My dear, have you seen Mr. Jules Verne's
"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea"?"
"Oh no, dear, are you planning to..."….
Lin Youde smiled.
**
In December 1905, in the maintenance dock on the shores of Lake Baikal, in the palace on the Birmingham, Isabella was losing her temper.
"What a sea monster! That's obviously Lin Youde's submarine!"
"But Chinese merchant ships were also attacked..."
As soon as Wen Sili finished speaking, the Queen yelled back: "Those boats are filled with rotten potatoes and rotten bananas! And they are old boats that can still float on the water. Thank God!"
"But the international community doesn't care about this. Although the whole world knows that it is the Chinese who are causing trouble, as long as we can't find evidence, no one will come forward. They will just turn a blind eye, or simply like France
People take pleasure in misfortune like that."
"Don't we have any way to deal with their submarines?" Isabella glared at the assistant to the Navy Minister who was the liaison officer, "Those submarines were built by the French for Lin Youde, so we can't dig up any information from France.
come over?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." The assistant was actually a young man from a nobleman who wanted to seduce the queen. I had never seen such a posture before, so he could only stammer and apologize repeatedly.
Isabella stared at him for a few seconds, then showed a look of hatred on her face and waved him away.
In the huge baroque style room, only Isabella and Wen Sili were left.
At this time, Wen Sili spoke up: "Last time in Haiphong City, you were just slightly taken advantage of by him at the dance, and in exchange for the Zhu Rongji. Why didn't you think of getting information about submarines?"
Isabella turned sideways and said nothing.
As a result of receiving Zhurong from Lin Youde, the British Empire was able to improve its new Shenji weapons. The strength of the Shenji troops was greatly strengthened, forcing Germany, Austria and other European powers to start designing and equipping new Shenji weapons. The British replaced the Shenji weapons.
The first-generation armor was transferred to Russia, and this scene happened just over a month ago.
The black technology taken from Lin Youde has such great power. Isabella herself regretted not letting Lin Youde touch it more and order more things.
That's why she didn't express her stance on Wen Sili's remarks that were full of ridicule and contempt for the royal authority.
Seeing that the Queen was silent, Wen Sili continued: "I think Lin Youde is also very interested in you, Your Majesty. You might as well condescend and marry him. That way no one can challenge the world hegemony of the British Empire."
Isabella shook her head violently and stared at Wen Sili with wide almond-shaped eyes, as if she was determined to kill. But this time she did not show her anger, so the expensive furniture in the room was spared.
At this moment, the Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, who had just left in despair, came back.
He was unprepared for the scene in the room and was stunned for a moment.
"Don't you know you have to knock before coming in? You stupid ass!" Isabella scolded him directly, throwing away the image of a dignified lady she had created at the ball.
However, Wen Sili calmly asked the assistant minister: "What's going on? Is there anything new?"
"Well, the Chinese Federation's Navy Department has issued an invitation to the Royal Navy, hoping to launch a joint operation to encircle and suppress sea monsters..."
This time Isabella finally couldn't help it anymore, and slapped the oak table in front of her that had been used by two generations of queens for almost seventy years in half.
The Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy was frightened away, while Wen Sili continued to sit on the chair, calmly looking at Isabella who was gasping for air.
Seeing that the Queen's breath was almost adjusted, she asked slowly: "So, how to respond? If we don't stop supporting Russia, Lin Youde's submarine warfare will not stop. The latest attack occurred outside Mumbai Port, so
If this continues, our interests in the Far East and South Asia will be damaged."…
"What else can we do? Let all the Asian fleets go out to patrol and escort... No, if they are all blocked in Malacca, I don't believe that Lin Youde's submarine does not need to go back for supplies."
"Your Majesty..." Wen Sili shook her head, with a sincere tone, "This time is just like the time in Tibet. The benefits we gained from Russia's victory were limited. But at the time, I thought the cost we needed to invest was also small, so we
I agree with your approach. A little outdated equipment and a verbal promise can severely suppress an ambitious emerging country and prevent them from easily challenging the majesty of the British Empire. This kind of deal is guaranteed to make a profit.
But now, we have suffered losses. Besides, Lin Youde has skills in his hands. We should win over him and put some pressure on him. We just need to tie a bell around his neck and let the bell ring at the appropriate time. Your Majesty, this time
so."
Isabella took several deep breaths in succession, and then the anger on her face gradually faded away, replaced by a look of exhaustion.
"You are right. Anyway, the purpose of curbing China's northward expansion and preventing Russia from being excessively weakened has been achieved. That's it this time. I'm tired, Wen Sili."
"Understood," Wen Sili stood up and bowed to the queen, "please have a good rest."
