Chapter 540 Preparing for the next war

Three days later, Said Port fell and the dragon flag of the Chinese Empire was raised.

For a moment, the whole world was shocked.

The Imperial Chinese Army attacked the Suez Canal, which was expected by countries around the world, but it was just a matter of time.

Since the Chinese Empire sent troops, the broad consensus among countries around the world is to spend 100,000 troops and spend half a year to capture the Suez Canal. This is mainly because military strategists in all countries have studied the fortifications of the fortifications of the Port of Said, which were built in accordance with the fortifications of Guam Fortifications of the Chinese Empire. It is known as the number one fortifications in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Especially the British military boasted that there was no problem with 50,000 defenders sticking to their 3 years.

However, the final result was that the Chinese Empire only dispatched one town of troops, less than 25,000 people, and took three days to capture Port Said. All 50,000 British troops from Major General Miller were killed. The battle was so fierce that the whole world was shocked.

For a moment, the strength of the Chinese Empire made the entire British, French and Russian Allied Group feel powerless.

However, the allies such as Germany, Italy and Austria were happy on the surface and sent a congratulatory message to the Chinese Empire, but in fact they were angry and annoyed that the Chinese Empire did not abide by the rules and intervened in Europe, intending to divide the European sphere of influence with Germany, Italy and Austria.

This is not allowed. Even if the Chinese Empire is strong, Germany, Italy and Austria will not be afraid, because the Chinese Empire violated their core national interests. Whenever it involves the core national interests, allies will turn against each other.

Of course, Germany, Italy and the Austrians will not immediately turn against the Chinese Empire. They only demanded that the Chinese Empire's army conquer Suez through diplomatic channels and would not enter Europe, North Africa and the Middle East again, otherwise they would affect the relationship between allies.

In fact, Li Weiguo did not expect the battle to go so smoothly. Although he issued an order to the commander of the Navy, Army and Air Force that he had to open the Suez Canal before the Pacific Fleet arrived, Li Weiguo also knew that this was a bit difficult and whether he could successfully complete the task was left to fate.

As a result, three cities on the Suez Canal that were heavily defended by British troops, the strongest Port Said, followed by Suez City, and Ismailia. The two strongest cities were the first to be defeated, especially the Port Said, which was originally just restrained from the feint attack, but only one town of troops was used to capture it in three days.

This was completely beyond Li Weiguo's expectations.

In Wuhan, Greater Kyoto, at the regular court meeting, the report on the Battle of Said became a hot topic.

Previously, the navy and army forces abandoned the air force and launched the Suez City Battle alone, which aroused strong dissatisfaction and protests from the Air Force Commander Zhuang Jiuxia. This time, the Air Force dispatched 1,500 fighter jets, playing a key role, and fully attracted the attention of the navy and army.

However, the Army and the Navy will not easily recognize the status of the Air Force, so the navy and the Air Force are quarreling red when it comes to the issue of the distribution of credit for the Port of Said.

Li Weiguo didn't care about the quarrel between the three navy, army and air forces. His eyes were just staring at the personal information of Yuan Kai, the acting division commander of Thirty-three towns.

Mingyue next to her immediately reminded: "This person is the son-in-law of the Governor of Cyprus, and his identity is clean!"

Li Weiguo nodded. Seeing the word Yuan Kai, he instinctively thought of Yuan Shikai for some reason.

"Where is Yuan Shikai?"

When Mingyue heard Li Weiguo's inquiry, he immediately winked at his subordinates and soon sent all Yuan Shikai's archives.

Such fast efficiency is not because of how powerful the employees of SHIELD are, but because Yuan Shikai has always been a person Li Weiguo is concerned about, so SHIELD always retains Yuan Shikai's archives.

After seeing it, Mingyue replied to Li Weiguo: "Report to Your Majesty, Yuan Shikai had already died a few years ago. At that time, I reported this to Your Majesty."

This time, Li Weiguo suddenly realized and remembered what happened back then.

The fire was naturally planned for a long time. Li Weiguo did not agree with this matter, but he did not object. It was entirely because his subordinates could understand the holy intentions and acted on their own, but Li Weiguo did not pursue it.

Today, Li Weiguo's mood has changed tremendously again.

In the past, he felt that Yuan Shikai and a group of people were potentially dangerous and might shake and threaten the Li family's throne.

But later Li Weiguo discovered that his rule over the Chinese Empire was already very strong. As his children grew up one after another, they were all very talented. Even if the heirs in the future could not reach the peak level of Li Weiguo, there would definitely be no problem in defending the country.

The country is stable, and no matter how capable Yuan Shikai is, it cannot shake the Li Empire.

Therefore, Li Weiguo later regretted it. He believed that if he hadn't been too cautious, if Yuan Shikai survived, he might have been able to become a famous general and important official of the Chinese Empire and make more contributions.

"What a pity!"

Li Weiguo sighed. Although he cherished talents, since he had done it, even if he had a little regret, it would soon fade.

"Yuan Kai made great contributions to the capture of Seed Port, promoted the rank of major general, officially appointed as the commander of the 33rd town, and was rewarded with a first-class baron to observe the future!"

Zhang Xiaoliu, Lin Jiyun, Zhuang Jiuxia and others were quarreling suddenly became quiet. Then the army generals were excited. Although they didn't know who Yuan Kai was, they were from the army after all, and they proved that the credit for this time belonged to the army.

Lin Jiyun and Zhuang Jiuxia were immediately discouraged, thinking that Li Weiguo had once again favored Zhang Xiaoliu.

Soon, Li Weiguo also discovered this problem, and he would not reward or punish him unknown.

"This time, the joint operation of the three armed forces in the Navy and Air Force achieved a great victory. The Navy's Mediterranean Fleet was made contributions. The Air Force dispatched 1,500 fighter jets to participate in the battle, which made an indelible contribution. In this way, the various departments of the three armed forces recorded the meritorious soldiers separately, and then reported them together. I will reward you with the same reward!"

Li Weiguo had to deal with a bowl of water even if he had to deal with it.

Although the generals of the three armed forces of the army, navy and air force were unwilling to give in, they did not dare to say more.

The following court meeting discussed a lot of things. At present, the economic construction of the Chinese Empire has not been interrupted and it still maintains a rapid growth momentum. This is all due to the stimulus of war. The production capacity of steel, petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, machinery and other industries has been 100% exerted. The original overcapacity may trigger an economic crisis, and with the large consumption of the war, the danger of the outbreak of the economic crisis has been eliminated.

Previously, the naval shipyards consumed a lot of resources, and the construction of a large number of warships consumed resources from all walks of life. With the outbreak of war, the consumption of guns, guns, ammunition and ammunition accounted for the largest share, and the excess steel resources in China were in use. With the emergence of tanks, aircraft and large-scale production, steel production not only restored the pre-war scale, but more than doubled.

During the war, the economies of all participating countries around the world were declining and collapsed, but the Chinese Empire's economy continued to grow, which made countries around the world jealous. They knew very well that no matter what the war was like, the Chinese Empire was the last beneficiary.

In addition to economic issues, it is a military issue.

The world war is not over yet, but Li Weiguo is conceiving the next war and looking for the next enemy.

German Empire!

This was the first time that Li Weiguo had disclosed his thoughts in the court, which immediately aroused the surprise of all civil and military officials.

Although everyone knows that Li Weiguo's words every day are used to be cheated and betrayed, it still caused a lot of shock to say that Li Weiguo wanted to deal with the German Empire and regard the German Empire as the main enemy of the next war.

This is the emperor!

Before the world war was over, we began to consider the next war and prepare to deal with the next enemy.

All the civil and military officials sighed in their hearts, no wonder Li Weiguo was able to be the emperor, but they could only be subordinates. The gap in vision is too big!

Your Majesty!

Don’t be so far-sighted, okay? How can we wait for the civil and military officials?

I thought so in my heart, but no one dared to say it, so I could only communicate with each other with my eyes!

"Your Majesty, our army is anxious to open the Suez Canal. Is it necessary to start a war against the German Empire?"

A minister quickly thought of the Battle of the Suez Canal and expressed his thoughts.

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "We regard Germany as the main enemy of the next war, but we may not fight now! The reason for opening the Suez Canal as soon as possible is to drive the Pacific Fleet to the European battlefield in advance. According to intelligence, Germany may defeat the British and French coalition forces. When the time comes, Britain will soon surrender. We cannot let both Britain and France be occupied by Germany!"

This is to seize the fruits of victory from the German Empire!

All civil and military officials are old-fashioned, and you will understand as soon as you hear it!

"Your Majesty, we only dispatch the Pacific Fleet, without the cooperation of the army, how can we seize the fruits of Germany's victory?"

"If the army is sent, wouldn't it force the German Empire to turn against us immediately?"

"Italy, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Ottoman Empire all sent congratulatory messages, but they were privately warning us not to send troops again! Especially the Ottoman Empire, they actually asked us to hand over the Suez Canal to them, which fully demonstrated their extreme dissatisfaction with the empire's current actions!"

"If you are not a race, your heart will be different! These Westerners are not the same worldview as us Easterners, and you will have a battle sooner or later!"

"That's right! How dare you lick your face and ask us for the Suez Canal? This Ottoman is too arrogant! He will never give it to him, and if he doesn't accept it, he will beat him!"

"That's it! Anyway, there will be a battle between the East and the West sooner or later. We will just do it without stopping. When Britain, France, Russia, Germany, Italy and Austria are fighting both sides, we will send troops directly and fuck them! With the military strength of the empire, there is no problem!"

Compared with civil servants, military officers are much more radical and have to go directly to war.

Li Weiguo had not thought of going to war directly, but in that case, it would be like the Chinese Empire going to war with the entire Western world, and the result would be a situation that would never end.

According to Li Weiguo's own idea, it is better to wait until Britain, France, Russia and Germany, Italy and Austria decide to win over the defeated countries against the victorious countries. This is the best way to weaken the strength of the entire Western world.

"On land, the British and French coalition forces may not be able to stop the German Empire's army. It is only a matter of time before the defeat! The British and French navies may be desperate to fight the German navy to the death. It is unknown who will win. I sent the Pacific Fleet into Europe. If Germany is defeated, the Pacific Fleet will start a war with Britain and France, and then occupy Britain as a bridgehead for controlling Germany to grow bigger in Europe in the future."

When Li Weiguo said the civil and military officials suddenly lit up their eyes. The feelings were to pick peaches, and the goal was to pick them very well. Once the British navy was defeated, Britain would inevitably surrender. The British Isles could just curb the development of Europe. Even if Germany occupied France, it would have to be checked and balanced in the British Isles in the future.

A brilliant strategic arrangement!

Lin Jiyun couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, our navy promises you that we will destroy the British Royal Navy and occupy Britain! But what if the German High Seas Fleet wins? They must occupy the British Isles!"

Li Weiguo gave Lin Jiyun a blank look and was about to scold Lin Jiyun for not having any brains, but someone said it for him.

"Mr. Lin, are you always blinded? You can't tell what Your Majesty mean? No matter who wins or loses in the end, the empire will attack Britain and take Britain into control. Otherwise, how can the German Empire rise in Europe in the future?"

Everyone was stunned, but they saw that it was Zhuang Jiuxia who was speaking.

This was the first time that Zhuang Jiuxia scolded Lin Jiyun. It was obviously bullied by the Navy and Army for a long time and finally broke out.

From this moment on, Zhuang Jiuxia had no intention of giving face to the Navy and Army anymore. He wanted to fight for face and status for the Air Force, so he left no room for his exit.

Lin Jiyun was also confused. The navy has always been the strongest military branch of the Chinese Empire. It accounts for more than 60% of the military's weight. Even the army had to retreat. Now it was scolded by a junior, which made Lao Lin tremble in anger.

If Li Weiguo hadn't been here, Lin Jiyun would have cursed and even beat people.

The other generals of the Navy were also extremely angry, staring at Zhuang Jiuxia with an expression of wanting to eat people.

After being confused, the Air Force generals quickly occupied Zhuang Jiuxia's side, and the same attitude was that if you dare to take action, we would accompany you to the end.

Li Weiguo was also surprised, but soon thought that it was not easy for Zhuang Jiuxia to lead the Air Force and was suppressed by the Navy and Army. If this continues, it will be detrimental to the development of the Air Force.

Therefore, Li Weiguo supported Zhuang Jiuxia in his heart. After all, the greatest weight in the future national defense will be the Air Force. Whether the country is strong or not depends entirely on the combat effectiveness of the Air Force.

Seeing the atmosphere inside the military suddenly tense, Li Weiguo immediately coughed twice and said, "Today's court meeting is over! I'm tired, please retreat! Zhuang Jiuxia stayed, I have something to tell you!"

What does this mean? It’s so obvious. It’s clearly protecting Zhuang Jiuxia, and there’s even a hint of warning.

Although Lin Jiyun was angry, he had been with Li Weiguo for many years and knew Li Weiguo's temper too much and could not do anything too much.
