Chapter 703 The telegram was sent

Back to Xinhua Garden, Li Mo seemed to be quiet in Princess Olga's words. It was not that he had any other idea. In fact, even if he had an idea, he could marry any foreign girl, and he could not marry the Tsar's daughter. What really made him sigh was the atmosphere of using his children as the last political deal after having no way out. It makes him very uncomfortable.

The tsar family for hundreds of years will fall to such a point, so the younger and almost unfounded Xinhua royal family?

Will people abandon themselves in the future?

"Brother Li, what are you thinking about?"

She took the coat that Li Mo took off casually. Seeing that he was silent, she seemed to have something on her mind. Fang Xianqi thought something had happened and quickly asked, "Did the tsar make you angry?"

"Huh? How did you know I went to see him?

"Just now, Shan'er went to see you, but she couldn't find a rescue. He said it." Fang Xianqi hung up her clothes, turned around and looked at Li Mo meaningfully. She smiled and said, "I heard that Nicholas II's daughters are very beautiful."

"Huh?" Li Mo raised his head and happened to see the big eyes full of thirst for knowledge. Looking at the angery at the corners of her lips, he immediately smiled and said, "What are you thinking? It's enough for the four of you."

Seeing Fang Xianqi's pretty appearance, Li Mo couldn't help but think of the confusion when he learned that he still had a fiancee he had never met, and the daughter of the number one villain in later generations. Suddenly, he thought of the Princess Orga and three others.

Li Mo shook his head gently and drove the picture out of his mind. Then he changed the topic and asked, "Why is Shan'er looking for me?" Did he quarrel with the little princess again?

Thinking of the marriage between his second son and the Isaiah princess of the Ibn Saud family, Li Mo couldn't laugh or cry. The two little guys were almost like natural enemies. They quarreled constantly, but they also quarreled with their true feelings, which finally got rid of Nicholas II's bad political transactions. Father's feeling.

"Isaiah's father wrote to ask her and Shan'er to return to Riyadh as soon as possible, and several other princes studying in Yanjing will also go back. I heard that it is because Mecca has been recovered and a celebration will be held."

"Oh? So fast?"

Li Mo raised his eyebrows and didn't expect Ibn Saud to defeat the Rashid family and recover Mecca so soon. Since he is in such a hurry to invite the princesses and princes back, there must be only one thing. He is going to announce the founding of the People's Republic of China!

This is much earlier than history, but it's no wonder that Ibn Saud is anxious. The Ottoman Empire finally agreed. No wonder he is not in a hurry. He can only dream more at night. It's better to establish it as soon as possible when he is the strongest of his big backer. After all, once Xinhua lands in the United States, the following things will be It's hard to say.

"Go and prepare a generous gift. It happens that Xiufeng is still in Kuwait. Let him send it in the name of the royal family." Thinking of this, Li Mo immediately said, "In addition, please take care of Shan'er. This time he represents our royal family. Pay attention to everything you say and do. Don't look like a child."

"Hmm." Fang Xianqi answered, turned around and took out a stack of photos from the drawer, and snuggled in Li Mo's arms: "My little sister just brought it and said she wanted to show you."

"What is it?"

"It was sent by Zhener. I heard from him that this is the local scenery. By the way, where is he? Why does it look so strange? Look at this tree, just like a big umbrella, this beach, and so many small sand castles. Zhener said that Xue was made of small crabs. It's really fun.

Fang Xianqi pointed to the photos taken by Li Zhen from Socotra Island, sometimes exclaimed, and sometimes praised. Li Mo also forgot the things outside and looked at them one by one. Whenever she saw the youthful smiling faces of Li Zhen and his friends, she also felt very proud. Fortunately, his favorite National Geographic magazine in his previous life I have introduced this magical island, so it's not difficult to introduce it to the photos.

"Yes, the little sister said that Zhen'er is now a captain, and." Fang Xianqi's eyes turned and she smiled and said, "The little sister is so happy."

Fang Xianqi, who smiled cleverly, made Li Mo's heart move. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Xianqi, why don't you go to Riyadh with Shan'er this time and go to see Zhen'er by the way? He has been out for almost three months this time, and the navy has a big operation recently, and he may not have time to come back."

"I'll go?" Fang Xianqi sat up straight and looked at Li Mo in surprise. Because of what happened to his father in those years, she was the least among the four imperial concubines who went out. Every time the sisters went out, they were always envious. Unexpectedly, this time Li Mo asked her to go to Riyadh.

In fact, Li Mo didn't say anything, Fang Xianqi could also guess that the Ibn Saudi family must have a big deal. If she attended, she would officially announce the relationship between the Xinhua royal family and the Saudi family, and Li Shan was also born to her. Her son must talk about marriage when she went there this time, so she was really moved.

But when he thought that he would not see Li Mo for a month or two after he left, he was still a little reluctant to refuse. Li Mo, who didn't know what she was thinking, immediately smiled and said, "Go ahead, don't stay at home all the time. Socotra Island is known as the Magic Island, and Shan'er is still young. You can control him if you go." Li Mo gently hooked his slender waist and said with a smile, "If it hadn't been for the end of the war, Mr. Li and others would have stared at it again. I would have wanted to go. After all, this is a big deal for Shan'er."

After blinking her beautiful eyes twice, Fang Xianqi snuggled in Li Mo's arms again and said quietly, "Zhen'er went to the navy. Shan'er is going to Riyadh now. Le Ning hasn't come back for a few days, these children."

"Le Ning? Where did she go?

"Where else can I go, Zhoushan?" Fang Xianqi looked at Li Mo and seemed to complain about the incompetent father. Zhu Houbin!" Li Mo suddenly thought of the reason why his eldest daughter went to Zhoushan and smiled, "It's better to be young."

"What, are you old now?"

"Old, how can it be!" Li Mo smiled badly and suddenly picked up Fang Xianqi. He only heard a delicate cry. The light in the bedroom dimmed quickly, but he didn't expect that it hadn't happened yet. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

When she opened the door, it was Luo Sanniang. She looked into the bedroom twice and blinked deliberately, as if she had disturbed the emperor's elegance. Then she smiled and said, "Duan Fei came. He said that there was something urgent. It seemed to be a telegram, which had been sent."

"The telegram has been sent?!"

After hearing this, Li Mo suddenly jumped up and forgot to return half of his upper body. It was not until he ran to the stairs that he found that he was not dressed. Fortunately, Fang Xianqi had handed over her pajamas with a blush at this time. When he left, there was a silver bell-like laughter behind him.

======10 Downing Street.

In the office, the dark clouds brought by the Romanian incident began to dissipate gradually, because there was a big turning point in the European battlefield. After paying the price of 1.1 million casualties, the victory of the Battle of Verdun has entered the countdown. Under the command of General Haig himself, the coalition has completely cut off all the German troops supporting Verdun. The road, the restoration of the Verdon fortress is just around the corner.

If Verdon is recovered, it means that France has opened the Lorraine passage, and the door to the east of Paris is completely open.

Now Marshal Kitchinna has personally gone to Lower Normandy to boost morale, with the intention of accelerating the passage from Lower Normandy to the Somme, liberate the west of Paris, and make final preparations for the decisive battle in Paris.

Hearing this news, Prime Minister Lao He George finally showed a smile on his face. After more than two years of bloody fighting, the agreement has gradually gained an advantage in Europe. Although Germany and Xinhua joined hands to force Russia to withdraw, kicked Romania out and take back millions of troops, as Xinhua began to prepare to land. It is impossible for the United States to send more troops to the Ottomans. As long as they can hold their main force in North Africa, it is impossible for many troops to enter Europe.

After getting the gift package of five Russian battleships, everything seems to have begun to improve again. The last two prestige-class battlecruisers with modified armor protection can be delivered before the end of the year, and the four Hood-class ships have also entered the transfer stage. The construction of five Normandy-class battleships from France is very smooth, and it is expected to be mentioned. Delivered by February.

Two remaining French battleships, USS Lorraine, USS Paris and one old battleship, two Spanish-class battleships have arrived in South Africa, and two Italian Andrea-Doria-class battleships have also been delivered, and are going to Gibraltar with three Count Cappur-class battleships, plus The damaged warships of Delan are being completed one by one, and Europe still has enough strength!

"Coloe House, the special envoy of the President of the United States, has arrived in Yanjing and held two closed-door meetings with their foreign ministers, but from the current situation, there seems to be great differences, because Li Mo insists on the United States completely leave the Panama Canal!" Lieutenant General Hamilton, the First Minister of Maritime Affairs, said.

"This arsonist is too ambitious!"

"Yes, the Panama Canal is not only important to the United States, but also to us. At present, our two prestige and five battleships brought back from Russia have all arrived in the Gulf of Mexico. In addition, the United States has blocked the Caribbean export of the Panama Canal, two Avengers and the Spanish and French fleets. I also arrived in South Africa." After Han Milton's introduction, he said, "Now what we want to confirm is whether the Chinese will really land in the United States and where!"

Looking at Hamilton's finger on the west coast of the United States, he said to himself that George couldn't wait for Xinhua to land in the United States. Once he landed, it was destined not be a war that could be solved in a short time. No matter how powerful Xinhua was, the long supply line would also make the battle very difficult. He was sure that as he landed, the shortest. It will also take a year to advance to the hinterland of the East Coast.

Of course, the key is to defend the Caribbean Sea, but the exit of the Panama Canal is narrow, and the Xinhua aircraft radius is limited and cannot be fully covered. After the German navy is basically unable to go to sea, it is still very promising to gather Europe to defend it. What's more, the United States has promised that if it really defends If you don't live in Panama, you will immediately blow up all the locks. In that case, even if Xinhua goes all out, it will take at least half a year to repair it!

All weapons were handed over to Lenin in exchange for more than 70,000 troops entering Russia, which have also been accelerated to the United States for rearming. They will be deployed to San Francisco within a month.

In half a year, the mainland fleet will be able to fully recover. If you are lucky, it is also possible to delay for a year or two. Germany, which is surrounded by all sides, cannot support for two years. What's more, after his visit to the United States, President Wilson has promised that the United States will do its best to delay Xinhua, so the war is not over yet. !

Now the only thing that makes everyone worried is the Indian Grand Fleet. It is unacceptable for everyone to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops and a large fleet. However, Campbell has said that he will find a way to break through in the vacuum after the landing of Xinhua in the United States. Everyone has never thought that they could come back intact. But as long as a few new capital ships can be run back, especially five Nelson and four in the United States, the power of the Atlantic Ocean will be greatly strengthened.

"General Pershing is ready to open up the second battlefield in Central and South America. If it goes well, we can at least drag down more than 300,000 troops in Xinhua, so that they are bound to continue to increase their troops, and the total number of troops landing on the west coast of the United States will be greatly reduced, so." Before Lieutenant General John French finished speaking, Foreign Secretary Edward Gray suddenly came in with a calm face.

"What happened? Edward?"

Seeing his face, Prime Minister Lao George's heart thumped. Did something happen again? Sir Edward Gray did not pause at all. After putting a telegram on the table, he hurriedly said, "I just got the news that the United States intercepted a telegram to Mexico. Germany and Xinhua have invited Mexico to participate in the war and said that New Mexico and Texas would be lost in the U.S.-Mexico War. And give them back the land of Arizona!"

"What!"

"Does Mexico want to join the alliance?"

"Mexico? Is it possible!"

"Impossible, they can't join!"

"Does it mean that Li Mo wants to open up the second battlefield in North America?"

"No, I don't think it's possible. Our fleet in the Gulf of Mexico is not vegetarian. We can defeat them before Xinhua arrives in Mexico!"

"Mexico has no financial resources and no armed forces. If Xinhua wants to support Mexico, it needs to take out at least 2 million rifles and ammunition. Where did they get so many weapons? What's more, the combat effectiveness of the Mexican army is very poor. Unless Xinhua sends troops to lead, it is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Gentlemen, I haven't finished yet!" Sir Gray glanced at the suddenly chaotic conference room and did not seem to see everyone's expressions. He continued to say slowly: "Three hours ago, Xinhua officially rejected the armistice conditions of the United States and issued a public statement, refusing any country to bypass the alliance and negotiate with them to end the war, and two hours ago, Another big bombing of San Francisco!"

"American judgment, they are about to land!"
