254 Summer is Sunshine, Beaches, and Beautiful Girls! 5
Lin Youde came out of the study and saw Sierra lying on the corridor window sill, curled up and sleeping soundly. The sunlight shined through the window on her chestnut-colored hair, leaving a soft light and shadow.
The four maids loyally stayed by the little girl's side. When they saw Lin Youde coming out of the study, they bowed to Lin Youde with uniform movements.
"How long has she been sleeping here?" Lin Youde asked the maid in a low voice.
"Miss has been sleeping here for more than an hour. We didn't dare to come and disturb her, so we had to keep watch." The maid wearing the squad leader's armband on her sleeve replied, "Miss is just like a cat."
At this time, Sierra seemed to hear a voice. She got up, opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Lin Youde. Then she raised her arms and made a hug gesture to Lin Youde.
Lin Youde smiled, reached out to pick up the little guy, and asked in a soft voice: "What do you want to do next? Do you want to have afternoon tea with me?"
"Yeah." Sierra nodded repeatedly.
"Why!" Luo Tianyi huddled around the corner, watching Lin Youde hugging Sera and disappearing at the end of the corridor, "Surely I should take the initiative too?"
Le Zhengling, like Luo Tianyi, huddled around the corner and looked out. At this time, she smiled bitterly and replied: "If you take the initiative, it will immediately make people feel that you have ulterior motives."
Luo Tianyi is actually very smart, everyone in Lin Ji basically knows this, but she is spoiled by Lin Youde.
"It's really annoying. The last time he and his wives took a big bath, I said that I was also a concubine and wanted to take a bath, so I got in. But after he saw my vagina, he actually laughed and said something about me.
She has the body shape of a child, and her hair has not fully grown." Speaking of this, Luo Tianyi seemed to remember the scene at that time, banging on the wall, "I'm so angry, my hair is not fully grown, I know it
There is no lack of hair anywhere. The chest is not completely hairless either. Why can a guy who really doesn’t have all his hair get special treatment, but I can’t!”
Le Zhengling held her forehead.
"Tianyi. You are too sinister. The key is that everyone knows your true nature. Playing tricks will not work."
Luo Tianyi turned around and put his hands on his hips. He puffed out his cheeks and looked at his best friend unconvinced. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't even form a retort.
Le Zhengling sighed, reached for her best friend and said, "Come on, let's go have afternoon tea too."
"Yeah." Luo Tianyi nodded somewhat unhappily.
This summer has been unusually calm in Balanga Bay. Since the beginning of the new century, most of the major disputes in the world seem to be related in some way to this emerging city on Luzon Island, so much so that some people say that this rapidly expanding new city is...
The source of world turmoil.
This city is a frequent guest in the headlines of newspapers from various countries, but after entering this summer, it suddenly disappeared from the front pages. Instead, Bei Jing, the capital of the Federation of China, seemed to finally remember that it was still a capital, and began to appear in the headlines of newspapers from various countries.
.
Bei Jing first recognized the international status of the Soviet Union, announced the establishment of ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations between the two countries, and then signed a package agreement with the Soviet Union. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang chaebols, Shanxi merchant group, and Shu merchant group were all very happy. Because they found northern Mexico
Another good place to invest and dump goods. They finally saw the hope of completely paying off Lin Youde's debt and getting rid of Lin Ji's financial control.
The Siberian Railway has been built across the border between the two countries, and a new railway line starting from Beijing, passing through Ulaanbaatar and finally arriving in Omsk is also being planned.
China's light industrial products were continuously sent to Russia via railway lines, including textiles and food, which were most lacking in Russia at this time.
After the turmoil, Russia was a tired giant. It was cold and hungry. In order to obtain daily necessities from China, the Russians generously sold all the jewelry and treasures they robbed from landlords and capitalists to the Chinese.
Chinese businessmen arrived in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kiev in droves. After selling their goods, they bought shops, factories and land on the spot and hired Russians to work and work in the fields.
Chinese businessmen also established banks, although Lin Youde's Nanyang Bank immediately followed. But financial professionals from the mainland found that for the first time they had the opportunity to compete on an equal footing with Nanyang Bank.
Lin Youde was more worried about the threat after the revival of the Soviet Union, but then he thought about it. After the polar bears regained their strength, if they wanted to go south, they would hit Yuan Shikai's army first. Lin Youde's industries were all at sea, and there was another one that could actually challenge the British Navy.
The navy is relatively safe.
After thinking about this, Lin Youde did not interfere too much with mainland China's investment in Soviet Russia. After all, it would be a good thing for him, Lin Ji, to recover the huge debt.
In addition to the Soviet Union, Bei Jing also played his role in more international affairs. Bei Jing supported the Austro-Hungarian Empire in seizing Bosnia from the Turkish Ottoman Empire in the name of protecting the local Austro-Hungarian expatriates, and also united with the United States to impose political sanctions on Mexico.
pressure, forcing Mexico to open cities such as Veracruz as the second batch of port cities, and granting Chinese and American warships the right to navigate inland rivers - even though Mexico does not have any large inland rivers worth mentioning.
In addition, bei jing also signed an agreement with the German ambassador. Germany will send technical personnel to unify the power production capabilities of the Chinese Federation and guide mainland craftsmen to start building sky battleships. The German ambassador assured bei jing that the sky battleship
It will be enough to crush all targets moving on the horizontal surface. The meaning of Bei Jing's actions is self-evident, but Helang Yabo remained strangely silent on this matter.
Bei Jing's activeness has caused some people to speculate whether something has happened within the Chinese Federation and whether Lin Youde has lost power.
These are of course nonsense. Lin Youde is living a good life. His Lin Ji is creating wealth efficiently. He still controls Nanyang Bank, which has the right to issue currency. His army is still loyal and its combat effectiveness continues to improve.
Lin Youde is seizing this temporary calm and stepping up to sharpen his minions.
Lin Youde was not prepared to build a sky battleship because the European Bureau of the Ministry of Intelligence and the Gestapo successfully stole back the technical specifications of the German sky battleship after more than a month of joint operations. This information convinced Lin Youde that with the popularity and performance of conventionally powered aircraft,
Improve, this kind of sky battleship will gradually fade out of the stage. At this moment, the fast flying ship equipped with rx is enough to deal with the threat of the sky battleship fleet.
In addition, sky battleships have an overwhelming advantage in attacking surface ships, but they are weak when attacking land - the tonnage of sky battleships limits the amount of ammunition they can carry, and they cannot be equipped with heavy artillery.
The amount of medicine is far less than that of the giant cannons of the giants at sea.
The advantage of the sky battleship is that it can hit the fragile horizontal armor of traditional battleships at any distance. Its artillery shell weight and muzzle kinetic energy are not as good as the traditional battleship's giant cannon, but its height advantage will provide considerable penetration for the shells.
Bonus. Once faced with situations that require surface-to-surface killing capabilities, the sky battleship's artillery will appear very weak, and it is better to directly drop heavy bombs.
Dropping heavy bombs can only be used to target fixed ground targets. If used to attack ships, with the maneuverability of the sky battleship, the surface ship can greatly affect its low bomb hit rate as long as it performs evasive maneuvers.
In other words, the sky battleship fleet must decide whether its mission is anti-ship or ground attack when it sets sail. The mission flexibility is very poor.
Even sky battleships that specialize in carrying heavy bombs for land attack missions are not as good as traditional battleships in providing continuous fire support. More importantly, in order to drop bombs, sky battleships must fly over the target, which means entering the opponent's god.
Ji's air defense circle and Lin Youde's super-dreadnought battleship can deliver ammunition tens of thousands of meters away.
Compared with so many constraints, the high cost of the sky battleship was enough for Lin Youde to say no to this new gadget.
He already has the ace rx in air combat, and the air combat capabilities of VF have gradually been demonstrated in the simulated battle with Shenji's troops, not to mention the conventional powered aircraft that he is stepping up his development.
In this way, Horanyabo killed the sky battleship construction project.
However, Lin Youde, this big liar, would definitely not let the world know the truth so easily, so in May 1908, the General Staff of the Navy of the Commonwealth of China announced the establishment of the Naval Aviation Command, and actually built a brand new building for the command.
The venue is fully staffed.
In conjunction with this, Lin Youde set aside a large area near Helang Yabo, asked Landebel's troops to surround the area, and then mobilized a large number of guidance technicians to station. In fact, Lin Youde used his new land combat generals to
The Fengjia project has been moved inside, but others don't know this.
What the spies know is that this newly designated restricted area consumes a lot of materials every day, and it is obvious that something is being built in full swing inside.
All countries basically made the judgment that "that's a sky battleship", so a new round of arms race was triggered-Holanggabo was the source of the world's armament innovation. They all began to catch up with the great powers.
Can sit still.
No one knew that they had all fallen into Lin Youde's trap.
Facing this new round of arms race, some people are happy and others are worried. The ones who are worried are naturally the Soviet Union and Germany. The Soviet Union has no money to build, and Germany is worried that its leading position will be overtaken.
Lin Youde is one of the happy forces. He has no intention of getting involved in this matter at all. He is extremely happy to see countries wasting money and resources. In addition, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which has been suffering for a long time, suddenly found this time that it can rely on
Guoli Technology, which has a long history and rich technology accumulation, is on the rise.
Corresponding to this understanding, Austria-Hungary's Foreign Minister Leopold von Berchtold began to become tougher on the Balkans issue, and Conrad even claimed in public that the powerful Austro-Hungarian army would crush Turkey.
Rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Regarding these major European events, Lin Youde only sent a military observation team to deal with them and did nothing else.
He is taking his daughters to the Maldives for vacation.
