"Your Excellency, the train of the Red Guards has arrived in Potsdam and is undergoing the last resupply, the bicycles on board have been disembarked and headed for the surrounding industrial cities as planned, and the train will be on its way to Berlin in a few hours."

"I've said it many times," Lin Youde raised his right hand and shook his index finger at Hybert, "I don't care how we're progressing, I just care if we're faster than everyone else." ”

Hybert straightened his back and confidently reported: "With the cooperation of the railroad workers, the IRA troops are now mostly stuck in the middle of the road. However, we have also received reports of IRA forces trying to force workers to cooperate, and then clashes with railway workers, and a self-organized inspection team of local workers has rushed to the scene, the extent of which is not yet known. ”

Lin Youde held his chin and thought for a few seconds, and then ordered Hybert: "It's not good to do too much, after all, the workers only have simple arms, and it is not cost-effective to clash with the heavily armed Republican Army." You immediately send capable personnel to deal with the friction that has occurred, and at the same time ask the workers to cooperate with the Republican Army appropriately, and emphasize to the workers that the Republican Army is, after all, our own people, and any contradiction is an internal contradiction, not a contradiction between us and the enemy. ”

Hyper nodded, turned and left Lin Youde's office.

Unlike when the civil war was in progress, at this time, the maps in Lin Youde's office and the extremely streamlined maps on the work team have been removed, and the file boxes that were originally piled up on the shelves have all been removed, and the whole room is so clean that it reminds people of the appearance when he first entered here half a year ago.

Before going north to Berlin, Lin Youde had not much time to work in this room.

To be honest, Lin Youde is somewhat nostalgic.

In this house, he Lin Youde experienced the feeling of surprise for the first time, and watching the conspiracies and tricks planned in this room become reality one by one, it felt more refreshing than any strategy game.

And those winds and snows that happened in this house are deeply imprinted in Lin Youde's memory.

At this time, one of the providers of Fenghua Xueyue was sitting on Lin Youde's desk with a big grin, crossing Erlang's legs, and Kazkaz eating apples.

"To tell you the truth, I didn't expect at all," said the fox in a muffled voice as he munched on an apple, "that the workers could really stop the heavily armed IRA in such a blatant way. If I were the commander of the IRA, I would have decided that so many failures and accidents were not a coincidence, and then ordered the gendarmerie to start a crackdown operation. ”

Lin Youde shrugged.

The fox threw the remaining apple cores into the trash can on the table, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Besides, don't the Germans always boast about how reliable their equipment is, and now they suddenly make so many failures, don't they smash their own signs?" ”

Lin Youde couldn't help laughing, and he said to Chihiro in a relaxed tone: "In my hometown, there is such a joke that there is a problem with the train station that the Germans helped us build, and the stationmaster sent a telegram to the German engineer, and the engineer called back, saying, 'We have expected this situation for a long time, so we buried the necessary drawings and processed building materials for the repair 70 meters in front of the station, and you just need to dig it out'." ”

Lin Youde's adapted joke made the fox roll on the table with his stomach in his arms - fortunately, now the documents on Lin Youde's desk are almost finished.

"Well," said Viola, who sat behind the desk, with an embarrassed expression, "can I ask you not to make such a joke in the presence of a genuine German?" And the fox, you roll too exaggerated! ”

"Ah, little Viola, you don't understand, women just have to be exaggerated to attract men's attention."

"Eh, isn't it enough to just show your breasts?" Viola frowned, sarcastically unhappily.

"That would be unfair to little Viola." The fox smiled, looking like Viola was an awkward little sister.

Viola glared at her and turned her gaze to Lin Youde.

"I've been thinking, is this really necessary? Isn't it good to receive everyone and be kind? If there were casualties in that confrontation just reported by the glasses, how unjustly they died. ”

Lin Youde smiled at Viola, but he was about to open his mouth to persuade him, but Chihiro, who was still sitting on the table very uneducated, preemptively said: "Little Viola, you don't understand, it is true that we have contributed a lot in the war, so we are sharing the spoils...... Oh well, don't use the word "spoils", don't stare at me. At...... When we receive the enemy's assets, we will have more say, but this voice is not at all as reliable as actual possession. At this moment, all the groups that have preserved their strength in the war are showing their heads, and it will be difficult for them to spit out if they preemptively take possession of some important assets and then try to spit them out. ”

"That's right," Lin Youde took over, "although we have a way to get them to spit out some of the most important things, but then we will have to trade with them with some other benefits—if not, I'm afraid there is only one way left to take coercion." Therefore, we must seize as many resources as possible before all the forces, and with our current strength, no one will be able to make us spit out. ”

As soon as Lin Youde finished speaking, the fox immediately answered: "Actually, I personally prefer to use coercive means, as long as I and Little Viola wear magic armor and kill the other heads of the republic, and wipe out the disobedient army, Germany will be completely surnamed Lin!" ”

Lin Youde rolled his eyes at the fox, thinking to himself, Nima, are you helping me persuade or are you making trouble.

But fortunately, Viola didn't care about the fox's nonsense, she looked at Lin Youde with a bitter melon face, and said in a voice that couldn't let go of it at all: "I know that you have a point, but ...... Isn't that as if everything we've done before has been a struggle for power for ourselves? ”

"Little Viola, when did you get the illusion that we are not fighting for power for ourselves, and that there are ...... in this house except you?"

"Shut up for me." Lin Youde glanced at the fox again.

"Woohoo!" Chihiro Matsudaira then turned her words into onomatopoeia.

"Didn't you say that foxes are felines disguised as canines?" This bitter melon-faced Viola actually complained about the fox.

"Aha

Viola pursed her lips - this action is very Lin Youde's style, it seems that the little girl is being imperceptibly influenced by her own consultant.

Lin Youde walked behind Viola, gently pressed her shoulder with his hand, and said softly, "I know why you can't let go of it at this time. However, I would like to ask you, do you believe that those who are also very anxious to snatch the fruits of victory will put the interests of Germany first? You must know that the people who betrayed you last May are actually the same as the guys who followed you, and they always put their own interests first, and then the interests of the country. ”

Viola pursed her lips and did not answer Lin Youde.

Lin Youde continued: "In addition, those guys did not have enough intelligence to revive Germany, they did not bring you victory, in fact, it was their decision that made many Republican soldiers die for no reason. Even before the establishment of the republic, the state of the German economy proved that they were unable to cope with the raging economic crisis. Do you think that the lifeblood of Germany can be put in the hands of such people? ”

Viola was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

Lin Youde's hand on her shoulder clearly felt her body relax.

"I know it." The girl raised her head and looked up at Lin Youde who was standing behind her with a small face, "But you have to promise me that you can't use extreme means to purge dissidents." ”

Lin Youde gently touched Viola's smooth cheek with his hand, and replied in a gentle and reliable tone, "I promise you." ”

"Don't worry!" The fox, who had been shut up for less than three minutes, raised his right hand high, "When we use extreme measures, we will never let you know, I am super good at assassination!" Can I be like Sherlock even if I don't use my abilities? Sherlock Holmes did that perfect disguise, and then killed invisibly! ”

"Shut up."

"Woohoo!"

Viola looked at the fox and asked Lin Youde in an unbearable tone: "Is this fox really your companion?" ”

"I often doubt that, too." Lin Youde replied truthfully.

At this moment, the fox suddenly jumped off the table, turned around gorgeously, and faced Viola directly, with a serious and serious expression on his face.

"Isn't that just right?" She said, "Little Viola, you are the sun, and I am the shadow, you are the angel of fraternity, I am the demon of selfishness, you are the embodiment of idealism, I am the embodiment of realism, you chase righteousness, I chase profit." Don't you think that the two of us together can be the right hand of the man we love? ”

"So, the man you love?" Viola's face was red, and her face was steaming.

And Lin Youde was also caught off guard by the sudden "confession of love", but the fox had not played this trick once or twice before, and there were more than one similar "confessions", so Lin Youde's expression was quite calm.

"Chihiro." Lin Youde called the fox's name in Japanese Roman pronunciation, "Viola is only fourteen years old, and it is not yet time to talk about marriage." ”

"Ahh

"I—I'm not upset!" Viola pouted, completely unhappy, since Lin Youde became her advisor, the kind of maturity she showed at the beginning of Lin Youde's crossing gradually disappeared, and she behaved more and more like a real fourteen-year-old girl in front of Lin Youde.

Looking at Viola like this, Lin Youde unconsciously showed a loving expression on his face.

At this time, Matsudaira Chihiro suddenly said in Chinese: "You are now completely a loyal knight who guards noble ladies." ”

Lin Youde raised his head and found that the fox had a somewhat lonely smile on his face.

"I'll act like an ignorant little girl, so I can let you protect me."

"Do you think you can still trick me into sympathy in this way?"

"Ah, have you been recognized?" The fox winked at Lin Youde and smiled playfully.

Lin Youde shook his head.

However, when the fox said those words just now, he did feel the urge to open his arms and embrace her. If that was the fox's acting just now, then there is no doubt that she has succeeded.

The three of them chatted for a while, and as it was time for dinner, Hybert entered the room.

"Miss Speaker, Your Excellency Advisor, the train to Berlin is ready, and we are ready to leave at any time."

"I know it." Lin Youde responded in place of Viola.
