Rui Enshi had guessed that it should have won the Northeast battlefield, but he did not expect that he would completely encircle and annihilate it. 200,000 people, even 200,000 pigs could not be solved in more than fifty hours.

While the Americans were suspicious, Yang Rui said again: "Maybe I am a little optimistic, but the current situation is that the Russian commander-in-chief General Samsolov committed suicide after being injured at noon the day before yesterday; Lieutenant General Misichenko, commander of the First Siberian Army, was also captured at noon the day before yesterday. The First Legion either surrendered or eliminated, and no longer exists; although the Second Legion did not put down all its weapons and wanted to resist under the command of the commander Lieutenant General Kamv, the legion has been surrounded in a small area west of the East Qing Railway and east of the Liao River. Considering that the Russian army does not have much food to accompany the army, if they do not want to starve to death tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they can only surrender."

"Oh! God." Rui Enshi exclaimed quietly. He could not imagine what it would be like to annihilate more than 200,000 troops in three days. Is this the Chinese team too powerful, or is the Russian army too bad, or is it because this is God's will?

"Mr. Prime Minister, please allow me to congratulate your country on such a brilliant victory. It is simply a miracle to be able to encircle and annihilate the enemy in such a short time." Rui Enshi congratulated again. Judging from the current situation, China's victory is the victory of the United States.

"Thank you very much!" The Americans were kind, and Yang Rui had to be kind. Then he began to talk about Lieutenant General Moffitt, "Another thing can be said to be good news. Last night, the cruiser fleet sailed out of Zhoushan Military Port and prepared to carry out maritime battles against Japan, but unfortunately, among the naval intern officers on the flagship Zhaohe, there were revolutionaries who were bribed by the Japanese. They attempted to assassinate Lieutenant General Moffitt and Major General Cheng Biguang..."

As soon as Yang Rui talks about the navy, and then about misfortune, Rui Enshi's heart was raised. You should know that in the entire Sino-US cooperation, the navy is the most important project. In the past few years, the trade caused by the navy has reached hundreds of millions of US dollars, especially the Chinese government's determination to build a large navy - although China has ordered 100 submarines from Germany instead of the United States, submarines are indeed not the strength of the United States' shipbuilding. At the same time, using this as an inference, since all submarines can build 100 submarines, how many battleships can be built? How many cruisers will be built?

Although China purchased many giant equipment and built several large shipyards, it is not said that large warships can be built. Compared with Japan, its military shipyards still cannot build battleships well after building hundreds of thousands of tons of warships. China's shipbuilding industry is still very immature. Without eight to ten years of tempering, it cannot build warships of more than ten thousand tons. With the development of today's shipbuilding technology, in eight to ten years, the Chinese are nothing more than today's Japan.

The construction of warships comes from the actual needs of the navy. The actual needs of the navy come from the suggestions of the fleet, especially the fleet commander. As the deputy commander of the Chinese Navy, Moffett will have an immeasurable role in this.

"...Major General Cheng Biguang was unfortunately killed, and Lieutenant General Moffit was only injured. He has now been transferred to the Naval Hospital in Zhoushan Military Port. After rescue, the situation has stabilized because it is a penetrating injury. Lieutenant General can be discharged from the hospital in two months." Yang Rui finished reporting the situation and looked at Rui Enshi who was staring at him and apologized: "I deeply regret this!"

"Mr. Prime Minister. Is this the Japanese instructed me?" Rui Enshi heard that Moffit was fine and whispered for a long time. He began to become very angry. It may be understandable to assassinate the enemy generals, but he could not accept the assassination of the Americans.

"We are not sure about this for the time being," said Yang Rui. "These trainee officers have graduated from the Huangpu Naval Academy, which is the last group of students before the school is closed. After the assassination, two people committed suicide on the spot. The surviving trainee officer admitted that they belonged to the Chinese Revolutionary Party formed by the traitor Sun Wen. Now Sun Wen and the backbone of the party are in Japan and are funded by the Japanese government. Although there is no evidence, we judge that the assassination was carried out at the request of the Japanese."

"Why is this happening? It's so... shameless!!" Rui Enshi didn't know what words to use to describe the behavior of these people. In the late Qing Dynasty, the revolutionary party assassinated the Qing politicians. Thoughts that although they could not accept it for the sake of the revolution, they could understand it. But now China and Japan are fighting. As a Chinese, they helped the Japanese assassinate the naval commander. What did they think?

"Shamelessness is very normal for revolutionaries. In order to succeed, they can do anything." Unlike Americans, Yang Rui seemed very calm, but he didn't know whether he was talking about Sun Wen or his former self. "The purpose of the assassination was to make China lose this war. They believed that once China wins, the revolution would be more difficult. Moreover, because of the continuous propaganda, the war between China and Japan was distorted by them as the proxy war between Britain and the United States. China deliberately provoked the war as the American thug." Yang Rui said the news obtained by the Intelligence Agency, and wanted to laugh but couldn't think of it.

"Oh! God." Rui Enshi sighed again, "If I remember correctly, Sun Yixian was determined to pursue a democratic republic."

"Yes! Using violence to pursue democracy is a practice for many people." Yang Rui also sighed. It is not the case that the whole family will be killed after democracy, but it is still the case for more than a hundred years. "Sun Wen is just an inequality surgeon. In his opinion, China has problems. As long as you change a pair of organs, it will be solved. The United States is the most advanced and most prosperous country, so he believes that using a sharp scalpel to perform a rifting operation, and changing the American system..."

"Mr. Prime Minister, if you don't use violence, learning the American political system should be helpful to China, right?" Seeing Yang Rui talking about the national political system, based on his professional hobbies, Rui Enshi suddenly changed a topic.

"You can learn from it, but you can't copy it." Yang Rui didn't know how the topic turned here, and this question was actually difficult to answer. "Just like the temperament, personality, knowledge, and ideals of people, the temperament and traditions of nations are also different. If the behavior and tradition of one nation will not harm other nations, then the best way I think is to let them live in their original ways. To change is also natural change rather than imposing."

"Mr. Prime Minister, what if their traditions are ignorant or inhuman?" Rui Enshi asked. After several contacts, he had no chance to learn some of Yang Rui's inner thoughts. Now he has this opportunity. He tried his best to seize it.

"Mr. Minister, the theory that was proven to be correct ten years ago is often very likely to be considered wrong after ten years. If there is such a reversal in ten years, then there will be greater subversion in a hundred years, or even thousands of years. A person's life is only one hundred years, but a nation's life has thousands or even tens of thousands of years. It is not a wise act to change the inherent traditions of a nation that are only considered right now and pass on thousands of years of traditions.

As for human nature, human nature was not advocated in the Middle Ages, and God's will represents everything. It was not until the Renaissance that human nature was rescued under the oppression of the divine power. The utilitarian philosophy that built the foundation of the entire Western civilization began to emerge - everyone will pursue the greatest happiness they think. Yes, it is true, but Mr. Minister, now the citizens of every belligerent country in Europe are cheering for war. They can't wait to enter the barracks and rush to the battlefield to make their greatest happiness. But is this really the case?

In the same country, due to the constraints of the law, people cannot enjoy killing and conquering others, but when treating the people of other countries, the ugliness of human nature will be unreservedly revealed. This kind of thing has been staged in various colonies of Asia, Africa and Latin America before the European War. In order to find a high-sounding reason for this ugly behavior, they invented Darwinism. They advocated that human beings are in cruel competition and fully followed the law of survival of the fittest in nature. Therefore, the killers are no longer accused of being unkind or uncivilized. The reason for the killing is because the killed is too weak. Now the colonies have been robbed. The same thing has begun to be staged in Europe. Mr. Minister, is it really right to emphasize human nature?"

Yang Rui looked at Rui Enshi who was listening intently and suddenly asked, but without waiting for his answer, he said: "Even if according to utilitarian philosophy, everyone has the right to pursue what they think is the greatest happiness. But if someone pursues or stays in a state of ignorance as the greatest happiness, what reason do we have to force correct him?"

"Mr. Prime Minister, your speech is very inspiring. I don't know... I don't know how to..." Rui Enshi is not a philosopher, he is just a political scholar. What he pursues is to adjust the social mechanism appropriately so that everyone can get more happiness. But when everyone is judged as wrong to pursue his greatest happiness, he is speechless. Not to mention the example of the colonial region, the wars that are taking place in Europe are something he cannot refute. Everyone believes that defeating the other party can achieve greater happiness, and the result will only make Europe's prosperity disappear forever. But it is wrong for really to believe that everyone's pursuit of his greatest happiness is the whole. Then the entire Western economic system, parliamentary system, democratic system, legal system..., these pillars that build the foundation of Western countries may be shaken or even collapse. What should we do?

While Rui Enshi's forehead began to sweat, he suddenly thought of **, and he suddenly asked: "Mr. Prime Minister, do you believe in **?"

Unexpectedly, Americans would ask this question. Yang Rui smiled and said, "I don't believe in **. The difference between ** and capitalism is the question of who can obtain happiness, whether it should be allocated to individuals or should be given to everyone without distinction, rather than whether pursuing happiness itself is a problem of whether there is a problem. I don't think that uncontrollably advocating human nature, satisfying ** is the only way for people to obtain happiness. Poverty may be the origin of sin, but happiness is by no means the result of wealth. In fact, there are fundamental differences in the understanding of how to obtain happiness in the East and the West. In the eyes of Westerners, getting more is happiness, so they just pursue it; but in the eyes of Easterners, not being more concerned is happiness, so they just want to be liberated..."

Feeling that Yang Rui, who had been in a ruling building for a long time, did not want to continue to rumble, corrected: "Mr. Minister, I think there is another thing I should notify you, that is, considering that Taiwan currently lacks Japanese troops, we will have a combat plan to land in Taiwan in the near future..."

"This is indeed a good idea!" Rui Enshi also turned his mind and agreed with it very much. He asked, "So when will he land in Taiwan?"

"Now the East China War Zone is collecting ships and exploring the news of the Japanese garrison in Taiwan..." Yang Rui smiled, "You know, the war zone commanders have a lot of power. They have the right to complete the established combat missions based on actual conditions, so it is really hard for me to answer that they will land approximately when they are not sure. The other thing that cannot be confirmed is the weather. There are many storms in summer, and if they happen to encounter storms when they land, it will be a disaster. I hope the US government can understand and support our occupation of Taiwan."

"Of course!" Rui Enshi agreed in Yang Rui's expectation, "I support the Chinese team to land in Taiwan to recover lost territory, and I hope you can win the final victory. After I go back, I will notify the State Council of this matter so that they can be prepared. However, Mr. Prime Minister, please forgive my presumption. Your country's navy cannot effectively support this combat plan, if it fails..."

"Of course there is a possibility of failure, but there is also a possibility of success. The purpose of this plan is not to occupy Taiwan. It is to add more chaos to the Japanese, so the government does not intend to promote this matter before it succeeds. Our ultimate goal is to restore North Korea and make it a normal and free country again." Yang Rui said true and falsely. Deep in his heart, North Korea only needs to take half of it, and Taiwan must be recaptured.

"I understand." Under Yang Rui's misguided, Rui Enshi thought that China's strategy was to attack the north, but he did not want to have one of the main purposes of the entire war to regain Taiwan.

The meeting started at 5 pm. The two finished their official conversations until six o'clock. However, after Rui Enshi left, the Germans came.

"Yang, have the Russian army all surrendered?" With some disbelief and some expectations, Rutt asked as soon as he came in. He was an old friend of the people of the Revival Society, and he could achieve greater negotiation results in his private identity rather than official identity. In the afternoon, after receiving a speculative telegram from the consul stationed in Shenyang, he immediately rushed to confirm.

"Not all." Yang Rui felt that there was no need to hide it, so he said: "There are still about 50,000 people still fighting stubbornly. But it's only a matter of time. Their supplies will be exhausted one day."

"My God!" Rutt was very excited while having difficulty in self-confidence. "This is a miracle! What did this do? Tell me, what did this do? Please tell me."

The excitement of an old man in his fifties and sixties made Yang Rui laugh, and he said: "Mr. Rutt, the Russian army is just a weak and dull giant, and it is not too difficult to defeat them. I think your country should not take the Russian army too seriously. The real crisis is on the Western Front."

Rutt had thought about whether the Russian army was really annihilated by the Fuxing Army. It should be noted that it was because of his fear of Russia's huge military strength that the General Staff thought of defeating France in six weeks and then facing Russia. Now that France had not yet been defeated, the Russian army was beautifully surrounded and annihilated by the Fuxing Army, which would bring great stimulation and shock to the country, but Yang Rui said that the Russian army was not a problem, and the crisis was on the Western Front.

"Why do you say that? The French on the Western Front cannot stop the German offensive." Rutt asked. Starting yesterday, the German army had attacked the Scarlet Fortress. Perhaps others did not know the intention of fighting, but Rutt thought Yang Rui was clear.

"The British Expeditionary Force will appear in northwestern France. The Scareful Fortress will not be able to be taken in a few days without heavy artillery. When the Germans pass through Belgium, the French are probably ready." Yang Rui revealed some news to increase the price of the Germans. "Okay, the war in Europe is not the focus. What I want to know is when will the Emperor of Qingdao be returned to our country? I have finished what I promised."

Yang Rui's directness made Rutte a little embarrassed because he was too familiar with this issue to the ambassador to China or Germany. He speculated: "His Majesty the Emperor is a frank person. Since he made a promise, it will definitely be implemented. It is just the prime minister and some other ministers..., they want to get more."

Yang Rui laughed and said, "What else do they want?"

"They hope that China can put some pressure on the colonies of Britain and France in Asia, or create some chaos. Of course, this is after the victory of the war against Japan," Rutt said.

"Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan and Guizhou may not listen to me." Yang Rui shirked. "We can't let the army invade India from Xinjiang or Tibet, right? I think the most important thing for your government to fulfill its previous promises. As for whether to reach any cooperation in the future, we should also return it to Qingdao first."

"I will do my best to make this happen." Rutt said. He knew the plans in China. Qingdao must be returned, but the key point is how to exchange for the greatest benefit when returning.

"I fully agree to compensate your country after the war is over, and I even agree to pay for the Jiaoji Railway and Qingdao according to the cost. Now the war against Japan needs to be supported by a port in the north. If Qingdao returns it late, the British Far East Fleet will be nailed to the door. This is really not a good thing." Yang Rui said.

"I fully understand the reason for returning it as soon as possible. After I go back, I will do my best to promote this matter." Rutt said. "Yang, can you provide me with a detailed report on the battle against Russia? I hope to use this to convince His Majesty the Emperor."

"Yes!" After Yang Rui said that, he took out a review version of the China Times on the combat against Russia from the table and handed it to Rutte. "There are details, pictures, and commentaries on it. Although the news will not take many days to leak, we still hope that the later the news, the better. Please keep it confidential."

"Okay. I will keep the secret." Rutt carefully folded the newspaper and took it away.

After he left, Yang Rui did not return to the backyard immediately, but sat down and think about Qingdao. According to the intelligence analysis recently collected, the Germans seemed to have the possibility of breaking their promises. In history, Germany proposed to return Qingdao to China, one of the more important reasons was that it triggered a war between China and Britain and Japan. It is impossible to attack Qingdao without invading Chinese territory. If the two sides invading Chinese territory go to war, it will inevitably lead China to essentially join the camp of the allies. Now that China has started a war with Japan, what is Germany going to do if it does not hand over Qingdao? Do you want China and Britain to start a war?

Thinking of Germany's sinister intentions, Li Zilong came in and reported: "Prime Minister, the General Staff is here."

The login operation is tonight, and Yang Rui hopes to pay attention in real time, so the General Staff transferred a communications company yesterday. According to the arrangement, Bei Shou and the Summer Palace were in charge of the coordination of login, while Xu Jingxi came to Yin'an Hall in person.

"Sir." Xu Jingxi, who was following Li Zilong, gave a solemn salute.

"Sit down." Yang Rui greeted, "The weather is good over there?"

"Yeah. It's acceptable." Xu Jingxi said: "There will be some storms in the middle of the night, but it's probably not big. Don't worry, sir, everything is ready. The Japanese army is very relaxed in defense. Now the encirclement in Hualien is still continuing. Taiwan Governor Sakuma Zuo Matthew also went to the battlefield in person, intending to eliminate Taroko in one fell swoop. Even if they know that we are going to land now, it will be difficult for them to deal with it."

"Well. Where is the Japanese Navy?" Yang Rui of the Japanese Army was not worried, he was worried that it was the Japanese Navy.

"Because our cruiser fleet sailed, the Japanese Navy has been transferred north to the Ryukyu area for patrol. This is the news I just received in the afternoon. The Japanese probably received the news that the Navy was going to go to Japan to break the diplomatic relations at noon." Xu Jingxi said.

"It seems that it has really grasped the weakness of the Japanese Navy." Yang Rui praised. "When will the landing start?" he asked again.

"It's already started, sir." Xu Jingxi said. "It's okay to be closer to Taipei. It's more than 260 kilometers from Kinmen to kill dogs. Although the boats are all steamers, if you want to land and beat dogs at dawn, you must set out now."

The summer days are long and the nights are short. Even if the sunrise and sunset are less than ten hours, considering the morning, dusk and evening shadows, the time to sail in the night is only nine hours. At the speed of a sailboat, it is not a problem for the Fuqing Taipei route, which is only more than 130 kilometers away. However, for the Kinmen Tainan route, that is a big problem, especially after leaving Kinmen and going to Penghu, it will take a detour, which will increase the range.
