When this matter was mentioned last time, the generals said that they would rather have less points than get the most wanted military base. These three should be the military bases most valued by the military.

But where? This is what Ye Chen is most concerned about.

Not only Ye Chen was concerned, but Zhuang Lao Xiao Lingyue and Liu Zhilong were also concerned.

"The three military bases we most want are Australia, the Middle East, and Western Europe." Admiral Liu said.

"Australia? Middle East? Western Europe?" Ye Chen and the others frowned, thinking carefully.

"Mr. Zhang, is there any explanation for this?" The military bases in these three places are what the military wants most, so they must have been evaluated repeatedly, and they must be very particular.

Although Ye Chen is a military fan, he still can't understand this kind of thing.

Military fans, in the final analysis, are enthusiasts who have mastered a certain amount of basic military knowledge. They are amateurs, not even professional. Not to mention, generals such as General Liu are the real professionals, and they can be said to be military strategists.

Ye Chen's words were exactly what everyone wanted to ask, and they all opened their eyes wide, looking at General Liu, waiting for his reply.

"This is an important layout of our country's global strategy." Admiral Liu smiled at Ye Chen: "Xiaoye, you are now exposed to higher and higher levels, and the global strategic issue is also mentioned, so I will give it to you." Tell me carefully."

Ye Chen's spirit was lifted, his face was full of joy, and he said cheerfully: "Thank you, sir."

Ye Chen is just an amateur military fan. He only knows some basic military knowledge, so he can't compare with General Liu. General Liu, that is a senior military talent, you can also say he is a military strategist. According to him, he wants to teach Ye Chen a good lesson. There are too few opportunities like this, and Ye Chen can't help but like it.

Moreover, General Liu Shang had good intentions, and he was reminding Ye Chen that he should have a global strategic vision.

This kind of opportunity is so rare, not only Ye Chen was overjoyed, but Zhuang Lao Xiao Lingyue and Liu Zhilong also puffed up their chests, raised their heads, concentrated and focused.

If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"Let's talk about Australia first." Admiral Liu thought for a while, and said, "Australia is one of the seven continents, and the geographical location of this continent is particularly important because it is located deep in the continent, connecting Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas." Necessarily."

Open the world map, and you only need to glance at it to find that the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe are connected together. North and South America are connected together, and this is the five continents. Antarctica is at the southernmost point, and its geographical location is biased, so it is not that important.

Oceania, that is, Australia, is located in the depths of the ocean. As long as you go by sea, you can't leave here.

This is why Australia's geographical location is particularly important.

"The Age of Discovery in Europe started from Europe, bypassed the Cape of Good Hope, and then came to Australia, then to South Asia, then to Southeast Asia, and then to the Far East." Admiral Liu continued: "So, Australia became a very important part of the Age of Discovery. An important foothold can also be said to be a base."

Ye Chen and the others thought about it carefully, and it was really the same thing.

Without Australia as a foothold, Europe's great age of voyages may not have been so smooth.

"That's why Australia is very important." General Liu said, "Let me give you an example. If you don't say it is far away, you can say it is close. During World War II, MacArthur was stationed in Southeast Asia. After being defeated by Japan, he retreated to Australia. Here, he rebuilt his headquarters, waited for the war supplies from the United States, and the reinforcements sent by the United States from the mainland, and after the training was completed, MacArthur led his army to embark on a journey of revenge."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and said: "When MacArthur withdrew from Southeast Asia, he vowed to fight back and seek revenge. Moreover, he refused to return to China for this reason. Even when President Roosevelt called him back to China to discuss military affairs, he did not go back. His belief is that if he does not avenge his blood, he will never return to the United States."

Everyone knows that MacArthur is so bullish that he is a national hero in the United States. However, he is also a stubborn bull. Once his stubborn temper flares up, even President Roosevelt can't do anything to him.

"Under the leadership of MacArthur, the U.S. military triumphed all the way, fought many beautiful battles, and caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army. In the end, Japan lost the Pacific War. In order to reap the final fruits of victory and prevent the Red Empire from sending troops, the U.S. threw two An atomic bomb ended the war in Asia." General Liu changed the subject after speaking about this historical fact, and asked, "Xiao Ye, tell me, if there was no Australia, would MacArthur have been able to do this?"

"No!" Ye Chen answered without thinking.

"That's right." Everyone echoed loudly.

The Pacific War led by MacArthur has well illustrated the importance of Australia. Without the foothold of Australia, MacArthur would not be able to reorganize his headquarters and regroup his army, and there would be no subsequent victory in the Pacific War.

Without the foothold of Australia, it would be too difficult for the United States to form a decent army in the Pacific.

With the foothold of Australia, everything is different. Although MacArthur suffered a defeat in Southeast Asia, he will soon make a comeback and wipe out Japan.

"This is the importance of Australia. If our country wants to go global and make a difference on the global chessboard, Australia cannot afford to lose, and we must take it down." Admiral Liu's tone was calm but firm.

The great age of discovery in Europe and the Pacific War have well explained the importance of Australia. If our country wants to go global and maintain our "interest frontier", we can't do without Australia.

Therefore, Australia is what our country must win, and there is no second way to go.

What General Liu said made sense, but Ye Chen thought about it, and said doubtfully, "Mr. Zhang, isn't this too wishful thinking?"

"How do you say?" Admiral Liu asked with a smile.

"Long, think about it, Australia and the United States have been together as early as World War II, that is, they have completely joined the American camp. It is not so easy for us to win Australia." Ye Chen thought: "Over the years, Isn’t the Australian government always hugging the thigh of the United States? What’s more, it wants to cruise in the South China Sea with the little Japan of the United States. Whenever there is a chance, the Australian government will blame our country.”

This is very reasonable, as long as you pay a little attention to the news, everyone knows it.

Elder Zhuang and the others nodded slightly, agreeing with Ye Chen's words.

"Xiaoye, what you said is indeed reasonable." General Liu nodded slightly, first appreciating, then changed the subject, and said, "Xiaoye, have you noticed that whenever the Australian government makes such remarks, our country's Should we deal with it? Our foreign minister blatantly asked the Australian government to clarify. Then, the Australian government hastened to speak softly and changed its tone."

Australia's foreign minister once accused our country and said a lot of unnutritious nonsense. Our foreign minister asked for clarification in front of him. The Australian foreign minister had no choice but to change his words and speak softly.

This matter was quite a disturbance at the time, and it was full of ups and downs.

"It's true." Ye Chen also knew about it.

"Xiaoye, do you know why there is such a change in Australia?" Admiral Liu asked again.

"Because Australia can't afford to mess with us." Ye Chen thought for a while.

"Xiaoye, you are too straightforward. However, no matter how euphemistic the words are, no matter how beautiful the vocabulary is, they will all come down to this point in the end, and you are right." General Liu agreed deeply, saying: "Although Our strength is not strong enough, but after so many years of development, our strength has risen, not to mention Australia, even the United States can't afford to provoke us. Moreover, our arrival is also good for Australia, and they also expect us to come .”

"No way?" Ye Chen didn't quite believe it, and said, "Chang, aren't you being too self-righteous?"

The Australian government is always licking a certain part of the United States, why would it want us to come?

"Hehe." General Liu smiled and said, "Xiaoye, you have to think in reverse, from the position of Australia. Australia's geographical location is really good. If there are more world powers, then There are only advantages and no disadvantages for Australia. Because there is one more choice. The reason why the current Australian government is closely following the United States is because we are not strong enough. The Australian government will choose the United States, and if we don’t vote, it will still be the United States. If we are strong enough, the influence in Australia If it is strong enough, at that time, the Australian government will have one more choice. Choosing one of the two is more beneficial than choosing one, isn't it?"

Ye Chen thought about it and remained silent for a long time.

Xiao Lingyue nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.

General Liu looked at Ye Chen with a smile, but did not speak.

After a while, Ye Chen figured it out, and said with emotion: "Long, you still have a far-reaching perspective."

At this moment, Ye Chen realized how big the gap was between so-called military fans and senior professionals like generals. As a military fan, Ye Chen is very concerned about the military, but that is what happened.

And Admiral Liu has already seen the far future, and is already planning for the future. This is the gap between amateurs and professionals.

"Not bad." General Liu praised Ye Chen for being able to figure it out so quickly.

"Long, how long will it take us to win Australia?" Ye Chen thought for a while, and then asked a question that everyone cared about.

This question was exactly what everyone was thinking, and all eyes fell on General Liu.

"As for the exact time, it's hard to say, but it will take at least ten years, or even longer." Admiral Liu said.

"So long?" Ye Chen was a little disappointed.

"Xiaoye, don't be too impatient." General Liu said with a smile: "My judgment is based on the current situation. Not strong enough, not enough to affect the extent that the Australian government pays attention to us."

Having said that, he changed the subject and said, "If you can make that kind of strategic weapon for us, the situation will be very different. Maybe you can win it in three to five years."

He was talking about aerospace fighters, but this is our country's core secret, and Liu Zhilong is not qualified enough to know it.

"Really? Then I must work hard." Ye Chen was greatly encouraged.

If aerospace fighters can bring such great benefits to our country, Ye Chen will definitely work hard.

"Yeah." General Liu was very pleased. Ye Chen was really patriotic and said with a smile: "Now, let's talk about judging based on the current situation. Xiaoye, do you know why the South China Sea issue is now a hot topic in the world? ?”

"Why?" The South China Sea issue is a global focus issue at this stage. Ye Chen really doesn't quite understand why it suddenly became hot.
