Chapter 503 Cold Rain
In the dark night, a pair of slender hands gently pushed the window open a little, which slightly reduced the stuffy atmosphere in the room.
In the mirror, there is a little more mature charm, but you can still see the pure and beautiful face, the delicate and white skin, which is not harmed by the years, but makes the original thin body more and more exquisite.
With a gentle pull of his fingers, he scattered the long hair behind his head, making the jade man in the mirror more charming. He just sighed softly, but destroyed the beautiful scenery.
"Why does my sister sigh?"
The sudden voice behind her shocked Xiaoxiao, who was worried about the mirror. She turned her head and found that Duan Yueer was standing behind her back with a small cup. She quickly asked, "Sister Yueer, why haven't you slept so late?"
"Puff." Yue'er smiled softly and put the tea cup on the dressing table. She smiled and said, "I was asleep, but it wasn't because of the disciple. I ran to make a bowl of bird's nest but didn't dare to bring it to you. It's good to pull me up from the quilt."
Xiaoxiao doesn't know who Duan Yueer's disciple is. After so many years, she is the only one who calls him like that. She looked at the bird's nest and said softly, "Sister Yueer, we have been together since we were in Canada, so I don't want to hide it from you. I'm worried about Zhen'er."
"I know." Duan Yueer walked to Xiaoxiao's side, put her arms around her shoulder and smiled, "But sister, have you thought about it? The children have grown up and have their own world. What's more, Zhen'er is still the eldest prince, which is an example of so many young people in the world. If someone knows that you stop him from going to the Naval Academy, won't it embarrass him?
"Although it is a constitutional monarchy, this country is nominally our family. In the future, there will always be people who can stand up and speak, can't be led by people's noses, don't ask for achievements like him, and at least can't be influenced by others."
"Ah." Duan Yueer's eyes were quiet and she sighed for a long time: "I have seen through it. Although he has four sisters in his life, he still bears more of the world in his heart, so he let the children study outside under a pseudonym, so that they can be self-reliant, so as not to be surrounded by eunuchs and princesses like those princes and princesses in the previous dynasty. I don't know. The outside world."
Duan Yueer's delicate words made her small and beautiful eyes blink a few times. Duan Yueer was born with a hot straight surname. Li Mo has said more than once that she should live decades later, and she has not changed over the years, so among the four imperial concubines, she also visited the people the most on behalf of the royal family, and also with Cindy. We opened the Royal Hospital together, but I didn't expect her to say this today, which was really a little surprising.
"Hee hee, don't look at me, it's what the disciple said." Seeing Xiao looking at her without blinking, Duan Yueer smiled and made a grimace. Although she was a little woman in her thirties, this kind of naughty not only did not show up, but added some charm to her.
Xiaoxiao was also amused by her grimace, but she was still a little worried. Not long ago, dozens of people died in the navy, and now her own children also want to join them. As a mother, she is always a little worried and afraid.
"Sister, don't think too much. Sister San Niang's younger brother is also in the army. Didn't Sister Xianqi's younger brother go to the Air Force last year? And look at me. The eldest brother is busy going in and out every day. Sometimes he can't see anyone for a few months. It's all because of the disciple!" After Yue'er finished speaking, she didn't know what she thought of. She suddenly sneered and said, "If you want to get angry, you might as well wait for him to come to your room next time and let him see that he can't move.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Duan Yueer's bold and hot words made the smallness of two children a little unbearable. She quickly said with shame, "It's nonsense."
"Your last name is good, and I can't bear to part with him. If he makes me angry that day, I will suffo with him." It seemed that she thought of her pride. Duan Yueer didn't finish speaking and laughed first, but she laughed a few times. When she saw a smiling figure suddenly appeared in the mirror, she was so scared that she jumped up, turned her head and said, "Dead man, I walk without a sound, I'm scared to death!"
"Huh? Are you at a loss? Li Mo licked his face, stretched out his hand, hugged Duan Yueer tightly in his arms, and said with a smile, "How could you be afraid?"
"You have something to do!" Duan Yueer twisted and found that she couldn't get rid of Li Mo's arm. She had to snuggle and said angrily, "All day long, I know how to beat a few children to go outside and say that I should be self-reliant. Now it's all right. Zhen'er is going to the navy. You're used to it!"
"Children always have to grow up." Li Mo smiled, let go of Yueer, walked behind Xiao, stroked her shoulder and looked at the beauty in the mirror, and said softly, "We are now different from the previous dynasty. You and Zhener and I have all said that now the national taxes are all used for the country and the people, and our royal family still needs to bear the education funds of the world's students, so The children of the royal family need to make a living alone, work hard for the future of the royal family, and set an example for the world. It is not the rice worm that used to do nothing and sleep when they are full.
"That's why I asked Yueer and Cindy to open a pharmaceutical factory together, let Xianqi and her father open a restaurant, let Sanniang take care of our plantation, and let you take care of the expenses at home. We must all learn to be self-sufficient."
"What's more, when you and I left Canada, we were only twelve years old. You were only nine years old. Didn't we survive the same? If it weren't for that experience, if it weren't for the hardships in the cold, do you think we would have today?
Li Mo's words reminded the three of the years when they were in the Canadian camp. At that time, it was really hard. It was difficult to guarantee food and clothing, and they had to pan for gold and prospecting. They were busy in the mountains and fields all the time. When there was heavy snow in winter, they couldn't even eat green vegetables.
"Shen'er has grown up. I'm very happy that he chose the navy. You have raised a good son for me!" Li Mo smiled proudly and patted her small, and finally lowered her head and kissed her on the cheek: "Don't forget that the army is nominally the emperor's. Do you want me to fight to kill the enemy by myself?"
"Who let you go by yourself, I'm just." Xiao Xiao reached out and stroked Li Mo's cheek, completely forgetting that there was Miss Duan beside her. before she finished speaking, a strange smile suddenly sounded over there.
"Oh, it's so sour."
Seeing that Li Mo and Xiaoxiao were intimate, as if she didn't exist, Duan Yueer deliberately shouted exaggeratedly, and finally stretched out, so that the bulging breasts deliberately turned around the tip of Li Mo's nose, and then yawned and said, "I'm sleepy. I pulled them out of the quilt in the middle of the night. You can continue to talk. What do you love? Don't bother me. I'm going to sleep.
"Oh." Before Duan Yueer finished yawning, she was hugged in Li Mo's arms. His big hand quickly covered the two balls of gelatin along the wide pajamas. She begged up and down and said, "I'm sleepy too. Let's sleep here together."
Such a scene made Xiao Xiao blush and quickly closed the window, but after the cool air, the room emitted more and more heat. On the contrary, Yue'er, the originator, stood up generously after being taken out twice, with charming eyes like silk. After white eyes, Emperor Li got up and untied his pajamas.
** The fat buttocks seem to be covered with a layer of golden haze under the goose-yellow table lamp, which is more and more seductive.
Xiao Xiao was so ashamed that she had forgotten the unhappiness just now, but before she got up to turn off the light, she saw that Yue'er had taken off her clothes and gently bent down. After taking off her last concern for Li Mo, her delicate little mouth had already held the raised dragon's head and kissed her.
Because it is bowed, the two breast balls are hanging down and more and more huge and shiny, and the snow buttocks are deliberately raised high, constantly swinging with the light corners of the lips.
This scene made the small body hot. At this time, one of Emperor Li's big hands had climbed on her chest. In love, she untied her pajamas like Yue'er and lay naked beside Li Mo.
Emperor Li took a deep breath comfortably, kneading his snow buttocks, and patting them gently. After a wave, he smiled and said, "After the Spring Year, the four of you will go out with me to inspect. Let the children's affairs be decided by themselves when the children grow up. This time I will take you to have fun in the first half of the year, and I don't care about anything."
"Really?" When Yue'er, who was tasting the flute, heard Li Mo's words, she immediately raised her head. Her beautiful eyes flashed twice and faded, and said angrily, "Isn't it fooling our sisters with lies again? Every time I say that I should stay with us, but
"Don't worry, it's true this time." Holding a small, warm and smooth body, he suddenly buried his head between the two masses and said with a smile, "Golden mouth and jade words, I will never repent."
"The disciple." Yue'er pinched Li Mo's thighs fiercely, then swayed her fat buttocks, and slowly sat on it. The carved diamond ** suddenly made a strange sound, and the three white shadows under the light made the night messy--
"The emperor is on a tour."
Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, after sending Li Zhen to Dalian Naval School, Li Mo took the four imperial concubines and two youngest children, as well as Li Enfu, Du Dazhuang and others, and began to patrol the sea in Lushun on the Royal Ocean super cruise ship.
Although many people did not know that Li Mo would suddenly patrol the sea territory in advance, the Admiralty Department immediately sent two Yangtze River-class cruisers for close protection and began to plan emergency plans and sea safety all the way.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a simple inspection, but it has aroused reverie in the general reference. The smell of gunpowder in Europe is getting stronger and stronger, and it is about to become a danger of a full-scale war. Should it be arranged at home to prevent the spread? In addition, the United States and Britain are getting closer and closer. They have begun to build seaports and naval bases on Fiji and other islands. The Pacific Ocean is not peaceful. Why did the emperor suddenly go on a silent tour?
In the office of the Prime Minister's Office, looking at Chen Ping, who was discussing the annual military budget with Tang Shaoyi, Long Guozhang always felt a little annoyed when he thought of this and asked, "Yuanshou, why do you think the emperor went out at this time? He also said that he was not allowed to disturb him if there was nothing particularly important, and he took four imperial concubines with him, which was like a honeymoon.
"It's just a trip." Chen Ping smiled and said, "The emperor wants to take this opportunity to have a break with several imperial concubines and spend more time with their families."
Long Guozhang coughed twice. Before he could speak, Tang Shaoyi also laughed: "Yes, in the past few years, the emperor has been afraid of affecting domestic development. He has borne your large military expenses alone. He is still busy running around, and the time to accompany his family is even rarer. I really don't know how he supported it. If it were me, I'm afraid it would have been a long time ago. It's broken."
Speaking of Li Mo's burden over the years, even Long Guozhang secretly admired it. Starting from the Yanjing level, all the equipment expenses of the navy, land and air forces in the future are arranged by the emperor. The Prime Minister's office only bears the expenses such as personnel wages and infrastructure, which greatly saves money consumption. If not, according to the current equipment scale of Xinhua, I'm afraid the domestic economy will be suppressed a lot.
"Europe is no longer inseparable. Britain and Germany are full of energy, and this battle can't be avoided." Tang Shaoyi sorted out her thoughts and said with a smile, "Once the war breaks out, it must be very noisy, so the emperor took this opportunity to accompany the four imperial concubines."
"Oh." Long Guozhang nodded and understood. He turned his head and said, "What do you think of Shaochuan, Yuanshou, Britain and the United States starting to build naval bases in Gilbert, Fiji and Australia?"
The question of Long Guozhang made the two of them finish discussing the budget. Chen Ping leaned his back on the chair, pulled out the cigarette and sent it to the two before saying, "It's a little troublesome."
"Can't you stop it?"
Tang Shaoyi doesn't know much about the military, but she is not a fool. Naturally, she can understand the consequences of Britain and the United States suddenly began to enhance the military presence in the Southwest Pacific after the Gulf Agreement, so she asked.
"Difficult."
Chen Ping's eyes flashed with anger, but immediately shook his head: "If it's just a British family, we can deliberately create conflicts and force him to negotiate, but it's hard to say that the United States can't effectively contain it unless there is a war."
The two also nodded. Now the United States and Britain deliberately contracted and focused on building on their own land. Xinhua could not do anything about it, and they all strictly restricted the previous small game of besieging the investigation ship, in order not to prevent Xinhua from finding any excuses and not to let the navy sink other people's fleets in peacetime. Right.
"I'm worried about the Colon Islands now, which are too close to Panama and the only place for the United States to travel to Australia. If the United States wants to do it, there will definitely be a hard battle there." Chen Ping said, walked to the big map of the room, pointed to the Cologne Islands and continued, "From a geographical point of view, whether it is Honolulu or Truc, it is far away from the Cologne Islands, and the United States can completely rely on Panama and have a better advantage than us."
"So we really have to prepare!"
After listening to Chen Ping's words, Tang Shaoyi frowned and asked, "Won Shou, do you think the United States will go to war?"
This question made Chen Ping nod: "It depends on the Allied States whether the United States will go to war or not. If Europe fights and Britain cannot gain an advantage, then the British will definitely pull the United States into the water."
"If the United States wants to intervene in Europe, it must ensure the safety of its doorstep. At least they need to let the United Kingdom hand over the defense of Australia and the entire Pacific Ocean to them to contain us, otherwise the United States will not dare to do it."
"How can it be so easy for Britain to hand over Pacific defense to the United States?" Long Guozhang asked suspiciously.
"Well, you underestimate Britain!" Chen Ping looked at the small British Three Islands and said coldly, "Without us, Britain would never let the United States intervene unless it had to. But now if they want to concentrate on dealing with Germany, they must ensure the safety of the Indian Ocean and Australia. If they want to keep these places, they must let the United States participate!"
"For the United States, because of the relationship with the Panama Canal and the fact that we have begun to pay attention to South America, it has greatly reduced their infiltration into South America. Unless the United States is willing to be a turtle for the rest of its life, it will definitely do it!"
"Then can't we declare neutrality?" Tang Shaoyi asked.
"Prime Minister, do you think that if we declare neutrality, we will not conflict with the United States for the rest of our lives?" Chen Ping turned his head, looked at the two people, and glanced: "We need the Pacific Ocean, and the United States also needs the Pacific Ocean, which is an irreconcilable contradiction in itself!"
"It's only a matter of time before the United States enters Australia, so I agree with the emperor's words. Since it is irreconcible, it's better to do it as soon as possible than to let the United States develop for a few more years!"
Tang Shaoyi nodded, understood Chen Ping's meaning, and also figured out why Li Mo has vigorously developed the navy over the years, because the rapid rise of the United States and its intervention in the Pacific Ocean have become a big trouble. Once Europe starts to fight, the United States will definitely gain a lot of benefits with its geographical and ethnic advantages, which will be greatly enhanced. The national strength of the United States, if the United States digests and absorbs these benefits, the gap between the United States, which has narrowed, will begin to widen sharply and it will be difficult to catch up.
Tang Shaoyi's eyes slid across Panama and turned to the nearest Colombia. She smiled and said, "It seems that we are going to start preparing."
Seeing Tang Shaoyi's eyes, Chen Ping and Long Guozhang will laugh heartily. Although the Prime Minister does not know military, his vision is first-class. Colombia's position is very important. Coupled with their contradictions with the United States, as long as he is pulled to the side of Xinhua, Xinhua can win at least 60% of this battle.
"Let Wu Tingfang go. Since the United States is going to make trouble in the Southwest Pacific, we will simply guide the United States, just to see who moves faster, more."
'Prime Minister, Chief of Staff, Commander Long. Before Tang Shaoyi finished his harsh words, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhang Zuolin came in impatiently. After saluting, he opened the folder in his hand and reported: "The Colombian Intelligence Station reported that the Panama Canal was opened last night! This morning, the U.S. political axe said that in order to ensure the safety of the canal, the garrison there will be increased from the current 2,000 to 10,000!
At the same time, it is also ready to include four Delaware-class, four Florida-class, two Wyoming-class and five old Connecticut-class battleships to the Pacific San Diego base through Panama.
"In addition, one of our reconnaissance ships found that a fleet of 60 large British and American oceangoing ships arrived there at the Falkland base off the coast of Argentina, and also found two escorting British and American battlecruisers and heavy cruisers. We guess that the destination is most likely Australia!"
"Also, this morning, the Indian Delhi and Singapore intelligence stations also monitored the arrival of a British and French fleet in the two places. According to preliminary intelligence, these fleets carried all army weapons and ammunition!"
When Zhang Zuolin closed the folder, he also remembered the crackling sound of rain on the window, and the heavy winter rain covered the whole Yanjing City.
