    "You are not a true man unless you reach the Great Wall."  The Hungarian Foreign Minister has never understood what the Chinese Emperor Wei Ze meant.  In the view of the foreign minister, the Great Wall is just a historic site within China and is far away from China's borders from beginning to end.  This sentence is already a gimmick for the Great Wall tourism industry.  When he saw with his own eyes a long gray dragon winding its way among the high mountains of the Appalachian Mountains, he suddenly felt something was gained.  In the eyes of the Chinese, the ancient barbarians may have the feeling that "if you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a true man."  Only by reaching the Great Wall first can you have a chance to enter the wealthy mainland of China and plunder.  The Rouran people, the ancestors of the Hungarians, were defeated by the Han and had to move westward.  There are two Great Walls in North America. The Northern Great Wall is on the Sino-British border.  After crossing the North Great Wall pass, Comrade Foreign Minister felt something was different.  What's the difference?  The foreign minister did not distinguish it for a moment.  The British Empire east of the North Great Wall has seen a dramatic increase in its fertility rate in the past decade. Adding in the American population, the population barely reached 100 million at this time.  There are more than 10 million British people in Great Britain, and more than 80 million British people live in the four million square kilometers of North America.  There are hundreds of cities on a land of more than 4 million square kilometers, and the overall situation looks like a "vast land and sparsely populated area".  The population of the Republic of China west of the North Great Wall has exceeded 900 million, heading towards one billion.  Even though large numbers of Chinese migrate to North America from Asia every year, the 15 million square kilometers of North America only have a population of about 180 million.  There are an average of twelve people per square kilometer, which is better than no man's land.  The same is true of ¡®vast land and sparsely populated areas¡¯.  ¡°Foreign Minister, that team of Chinese people are so tall.¡± The foreign minister¡¯s entourage exclaimed.  The foreign minister followed the entourage and saw a team of Chinese railway workers adding water to the train outside.  The lowest among them is 172, and there are several above 180.  This group of people was not conspicuous among the Chinese people coming and going.  Because the girls from the Republic of China in the crowd are also 165cm tall.  The foreign minister suddenly realized that in Hungary, the average height of men is 162cm.  In the UK, where the foreign minister has just left, the average height of men is 165cm.  Even with a height of 165cm, she is not considered tall among those slim Chinese girls.  The foreign minister has been sitting on the train, and naturally he can't see any special difference when looking down from a high position.  It just doesn't feel right.  The train continued to move forward, and the foreign minister couldn't help but sigh: "The Chinese people have experienced good times earlier than us. Just like us in Hungary in recent years, the height of children has generally increased." The comrades accompanying him nodded repeatedly, "Yes.  Ah, my brother¡¯s children are only twelve years old, and they are only one head taller than me. Based on their growth, they will definitely be taller than me in the future. It¡¯s a good time for them to have enough food when we were young.  Where is there so much meat to eat? " This is a common situation in Hungary. With the development of the new breeding industry in recent years, even though Hungary exports large amounts of grain to Germany and Austria every year, the country still has sufficient food supply.  Thanks to improved seeds, chemical fertilizers, vermicomposts, pesticides, and Hungary¡¯s black soil, the current yield per mu has tripled what it was more than a decade ago.  The amount of food required to raise livestock has become half of what it used to be.  The total number of livestock per capita has increased to more than ten times that of before.  With the superposition of changes in these production factors, of course everyone can afford meat.  Nowadays, the little ones have at least a glass of milk and an egg every morning. In good times, the little ones are spoiled for choice. According to statistics, 20% of babies don¡¯t like to eat this stuff.  When he thought of this, the foreign minister could not react except sighing.  "Comrade Foreign Minister, are you worried that we will suffer a loss when we fight with the Russians on bayonets due to the huge difference in size?" The entourage had his own opinion on the foreign minister's sigh.  "A bayonet fight?" The foreign minister was a little surprised.  The entourage, like the Hungarian upper class, all had military experience. He replied worriedly: "Yes. The Russians are slightly taller than the Chinese, so they may not suffer a disadvantage when fighting with bayonets. But our Red Army's heights are slightly worse than the Russians. If the bayonet is used at the end  When we see red, I always feel that we suffer a greater loss." The foreign minister was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect that the battle would reach the point of fighting with bayonets.  After the appearance of armored forces on the battlefield, fighting has become completely different.  At least you have to be close enough to fight with a bayonet.  The firepower of the Type 09 gun family did not leave any room for a bayonet fight, at least not for a large-scale bayonet battle.  ¡°I am not a military expert, and the Foreign Minister is not willing to continue this discussion.  But thinking back on the war, he wanted to see Qi Rui, political commissar of the North American Theater, more and more.  Everyone in the upper echelons of Europe knows that Qi Rui is Wei Ze's eldest son.  Whether it is the inheritance of the eldest son or the inheritance of the strongest son, Qi Rui undoubtedly has an unshakable position.  Although North America, where the prince is now, has a population of only 180 million, the average age of these people is less than 25 years old.  They are all the young generation of the Republic of China, a generation with great momentum.  Without more than 100 million young people, the peopleThe Asian part of the DPRK seemed to be in a sluggish state, and the Republic of China's own sociological research group conducted a vigorous investigation on this.  The Foreign Minister is actually very curious about this result.  There is a saying that if the North American part of the Republic of China and the Asian part of the Republic of China went to war, who would win?  The Foreign Minister¡¯s preferred view is that although there is a huge gap in population and industrial strength, North America has the most powerful officer corps in the Republic of China, as well as Qi Rui, the founder of the trend of motorized infantry and armored forces.  It can also easily recruit more than 20 million young troops. North America may not be able to present an overwhelming advantage, but it will not suffer.  Tokyo is not too far from the UK. After crossing the border, the train will arrive on the same day.  The Foreign Minister met political commissar Qi Rui, who is famous in Europe, at the dinner.  The general, who once commanded an army of millions, was tall and well-proportioned. After seeing the foreign minister, he came over to shake hands. The general greeted the foreign minister, "It's been a hard journey." The foreign minister smiled and said: "Your Excellency, it's great to see you. I'm so happy  There are many girls here who hope I can bring you their greetings." Qi Rui was stunned. He didn't understand why the Hungarian Foreign Minister suddenly talked about girls.  The foreign minister had to do some explaining.  Although His Highness Qi Rui has never appeared in diplomatic situations, among the upper echelons of Europe, especially in the eyes of the girls in the upper echelons of Europe, His Highness, who was born as the 'true Crown Prince', is extremely charming.  Even more attractive than His Majesty Weiser, who single-handedly created a new dynasty.  After listening to the introduction, Qi Rui smiled bitterly, "Then let them think about it." Such manly words made the foreign minister feel a little respectful towards Qi Rui, and Qi Rui led the foreign minister to the small room next to him.  After closing the door, Qi Rui said frankly, "I heard that Comrade Foreign Minister has learned about the Russian Army's assembly in Ukraine." "Yes." The Foreign Minister answered simply, "I know that you intend for Hungary to break into Ukraine and annihilate the Russian army.  Heavy troops. After thinking about it for the past two days, I feel that although this plan is good, does Hungary really have the strength to complete this battle? " "The war is to say how to effectively kill our troops in North America.  The war zone has evaluated the Hungarian Red Army and feels that if your strategy is really to deliver a fatal blow to Russia, the strategic consideration of accumulating small victories into big victories will not work. Of course, the success rate of the campaign of breaking into Ukraine to implement an encirclement and annihilation war is also low.  It's not particularly high, and it is estimated that even if you win, you will have to pay about 200,000 casualties, and the armored forces will not be able to continue to use it for three months after the victory. But this is the highest winning rate now.  It¡¯s about whether you are willing to win, but whether you are willing to pay such a price to try to win.¡± Qi Rui¡¯s tone was calm, with no intention of forcing him.  However, Comrade Foreign Minister felt that he simply couldn't breathe.  He once thought that in his thirties, he had no possibility of improvement, and even if he did, it would only be in terms of technical proficiency.  However, during this trip, he found that he had changed from quantitative to qualitative changes.  At a banquet in Victoria City, he talked about life with a British girl and said, "The prerequisite for success is to have someone to teach you and to be able to afford to lose."  Now the Foreign Minister has to face this fact at a higher level. Even if it succeeds, it is expected to cause 200,000 casualties.  And this is just an estimate. Maybe the battle will fail, and maybe the casualties will be 300,000, or even 500,000.  There is a Chinese saying that goes, "One general's achievements lead to the death of thousands of bones." The foreign minister understood this to mean that a general has to step on his own bones to gain his status.  However, from a national perspective, all human lives are expendable.  It's just a unit of quantity.  The key is not how many people die, but whether you can afford to lose.  At this moment, the Foreign Minister suddenly realized something.  Why did Russia establish such a large standing army? The Russian standing army has more than 1.4 million soldiers. After general mobilization, it can mobilize about 4 million troops.  Without such leverage, the Russians may not be able to afford to lose.  No one in the world today dares to take the idea of ??the People's Republic of China, because the People's Republic of China proved to the world in the North American War that the People's Republic of China has the ability to form an army worth tens of millions.  Not only do we have so many people, we can equip them with complete weapons, provide them with sufficient logistics, and transport this army to fight thousands of miles away.  "I" The foreign minister opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat had become dry and he could not speak.  After quickly getting a glass of water and taking a few sips, the Foreign Minister continued: "The number of our troops that can operate at long distances is only about 500,000." "Comrade Foreign Minister, we have our own assessment of the number of your troops. Actually, there is only one thing I want to ask you.  Something. If your committee meets, will you support or oppose it?" Qi Rui's voice was terrifyingly calm.  Qi Rui himself obviously did not notice this fact.
