Lin Youde looked at the report in his hand, and the corners of his mouth turned to his ears involuntarily. "I'm afraid the Americans have never suffered such a big loss in the air force during World War II." He said to himself. Although he was talking to himself, the sound was loud enough for Viola, who was sitting opposite him to knit a sweater, to hear it. She raised her head and glanced at Lin Youde and said, "That's mainly because of the suppression of equipment." "Not entirely, Americans. The underestimation of the enemy also helped us a lot. They always thought that their pilots were veterans with more than a thousand hours of flight time, so they thought they could defeat us with their skills and experience, but they were in trouble. " Lin Youde shook his hand. Report: "This alone was confirmed by our camera guns to have shot down 200 aircraft. The United States suddenly lost one-sixth of its air force in the Gulf, and two aircraft carriers were severely damaged. This loss was enough for the U.S. Congress to initiate "But we also have considerable losses, right? If the Americans insist on fighting, the situation will be very bad." "Yes, but the good news is that the losses are all aircraft, not the pilots." Shaodu successfully parachuted to escape. We only need to transport the plane to the airport in Damascus and then transfer it to the Mesopotamia to make up for the loss of the plane. " "Isn't it equivalent to us and the United States indirectly fighting for consumption? " " It's almost like the Cold War. That's how it goes. The superpowers seem to be in peace, but in fact they are fighting to the death behind the scenes," Lin Youde said nonchalantly, "Of course the form here is a little different, but the essence is still a struggle between the United States and us. . In fact, in the later stages of the war, if the Republic really can't hold on, I plan to let the German troops go to the Persian Gulf in the name of mercenaries or volunteers." In another time and space, the Cold War has never really cooled down, and the major powers have. The proxy wars between the two countries have never stopped, and the wars in which the superpowers personally participate always come once every ten years. In the 1950s, the United States fought the Korean War; in the 1960s, the United States began to intervene in the Vietnam War; in the 1970s, before the end of the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union ended up fighting the Afghan War. After the Soviet Union withdrew its troops from Afghanistan in disgrace, less than ten years later, the United States began the Gulf War. It is said to be a Cold War, but in fact the two superpowers have been engaged in a hot war. It seems that now, this time and space will have to repeat the same process. "Listening to you talking about the history of another time and space, I always feel like I don't want to believe it." Viola stopped her knitting work, glanced at Lin Youde, and then looked up at the ceiling, "Obviously, I know this after two wars. War is so terrible, why do humans still think of using war to achieve their goals? "Because human memory is short-lived. The so-called scars are healed and the pain is forgotten." Lin Youde shrugged: "Even if the world enters true peace after World War II, when all the old people who still remember the pain of the war are dead, young people who have not experienced the war will start clamoring for war again. No matter how many anti-war films we make, this trend will It can't be changed. People who have never seen the battlefield and experienced the feeling of being with death every day cannot know how terrible the battlefield is. " "It sounds like you know how terrible the battlefield is." Viola laughed. He said, "You are just hiding in the headquarters and pointing fingers at the map." "Who said that? I have personally been on the battlefield. In the Sinai Peninsula, I drove a jeep and rushed to the front line." "But you. But with Shen Ji by his side, he has never experienced any real danger, right?" Lin Youde shrugged. He decided to change the topic, pointed to the needlework on Viola's knee and asked: "Why do you suddenly think of knitting a sweater? The belated motherhood finally broke out in you?" "Don't be stupid, Ysela is the one I won¡¯t wear the crappy sweater I knitted. Besides, I don¡¯t want my daughter to wear something ugly. This is for you. ¡°My daughter can¡¯t wear ugly clothes, so can I?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Viola nodded without hesitation, "You can do it. Who calls you a man? Although men also have to pay attention to taste in clothes, but when it comes to you, this requirement does not apply. No matter what clothes you wear, it doesn't matter. No matter how ugly or weird it is, it will immediately become a new fashion. Young people will rush to buy the same style to wear on themselves. " "You not only want to harm me, but also want to make all young men in the country look equally ugly. Something?" Lin Youde showed an extremely exaggerated expression of shock, as if Viola was some kind of big devil. Viola rolled her eyes at Lin Youde: "If you don't wear it, I will give it to the guard." "I will repair whoever accepts your hand-knitted sweater. Not only will I repair him, but I will also?The whole family was repaired. " "Where are you thinking? It's normal to give a sweater to a subordinate. It's a sign of caring for your subordinates. " Viola rolled her eyes at Lin Youde again. "I don't mind giving it to the maid" Viola stopped what she was doing again, knocked on the table and said loudly: "This is for men! It¡¯s really laborious, but I knitted it anyway, and you can wear it if you like it after it¡¯s done. " "I will wear it, of course I will. Seeing that Viola was impatient, Lin Youde changed his mind decisively, "But you still didn't answer me why you suddenly started knitting sweaters." " "Of course it's because I'm bored! My daughter took away all the work that originally belonged to me, and I had nothing else to do, so I had to kill time by sweating. " "You can play chess with me. Lin Youde suggested, "If you think it's not fun to lose if you can't beat me, I can give you a few coins." " "snort. " Viola snorted, obviously unhappy, but now she really couldn't play chess against Lin Youde, so she didn't say anything more. Lin Youde stared at Viola who was focusing on the needlework in her hand. After a while, he turned his gaze to the window. ¡°To be honest, my daughters are growing up one by one and they no longer stick to me all day like in the past, which does make people feel a little lonely. " Lin Youde couldn't help but think of the cute way Xiaolu clung to him all day long when he was young. Almost all the time, Xiaolu would be eating and eating by his side. He could pinch Xiaolu's pink little face just by stretching out his hand. Touching the cute pointed ears on the top of Xiaolu's head. Now Lin Youde stretched out his hand and could only touch Viola's hard-as-iron chest. "Were you thinking about something that was rude to me just now?" " "No, not at all! Lin Youde quickly denied it. Viola sighed and said while knitting her sweater: "Speaking of which, Xiaolu should be walking to Istanbul soon, right?" " " Judging from the regular contact the day before yesterday, it is indeed almost time to arrive. " This season of Xiaolu's Journey to the End of the World was originally planned to be shot in China, but now that the Persian Gulf war has begun, the route from Germany to China has suddenly become longer, because neither the Panama Canal nor the Suez can be used, and the Americans have put the Panama Canal and Manchuria The German Strait is stuck. So Xiaolu can only go to Turkey and continue her eating and drinking trip. ¡°That little guy, I think she really likes traveling. Lin Youde sighed, "This shows that even Xiaolu has grown up. I said, dear Miss Viola, is it time for us to have a new daughter?" " "Go and say this to Isabella, I don't want to be resented by Isabella. Viola said calmly, her eyes still staring at the work in hand.
