Chapter 925: The British Didn't Expect
Back in Lushun, the old man had already told Liu Jun when he came here, that is, most of the departments in Lushun have now moved to Beijing, and now when he returns to Lushun, what else can he do, Zheng Yiqian, who heard Liu Jun's words, had a puzzle on her face. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Every year we have to go to see our dead brothers, and this year is no exception, we are leaving Lushun soon, and I don't know when we will be able to go there in the future."
Understood, hearing this, Zheng Yiqian nodded, she decided to go and discuss with Zhong Lin about the time to return to Lushun early tomorrow morning.
Yesterday, after listening to Zhang Biao's opinion, he went to East Lake, where the British coach lived, to discuss his opinions, hoping that the British could increase some weapon support, compared to today's Liaodong has now seen some spearheads in Hunan and Hubei, however, what he didn't expect was that he was a dignified governor, in front of a little kid, just be embarrassed, the problem is that the British have repeatedly refused to aid weapons, In this way, the end felt that the British were unloading the mill and killing the donkey.
At the beginning, when the British found themselves, they promised that as long as they cooperated with the British, once the matter was successful, they could become emperors in Hubei, Hunan, and western Jiangxi, and what the British wanted was only the right to mine and trade in these places, and the British also said at that time that they would equip themselves with the military force of three to five towns for free.
Duan Fang, who was not very courageous, heard that he could also be the emperor, and found this big backer, the ambition in his heart suddenly came out, and he agreed to the request of the British, and began to accept the assistance of the British to train himself.
This matter, the imperial court does have some news, but the imperial court also thinks that the end side is doing this, it is completely to confront the Liaodong Army's strategy, so they don't care, which is why Zhang Zhidong wants to tell Liu Jun to lay down the Huguang area first, in Zhang Zhidong's view, the Huguang area is now the most powerful place, after all, the British equipment is pro-color, this is a great evidence,
Zhang Zhidong believed that as long as Liu Jun could wipe out the forces in the Huguang region, then the imperial court would lose a strong force to rely on.
However, what Zhang Zhidong didn't expect was that his words made Liu Jun give an order to investigate, and he actually found out so many important things, and Duan Fang actually ate the leopard's guts to be independent. This is something that no one expected.
"Your Excellency, what now? The British have begun to hesitate on the issue of supporting us, "Zhang Biao on one side also went with Duan Fang yesterday, and saw Duan Fang take a look at himself. Zhang Biao lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Is it the British who are afraid of Liaodong?" ”
I grass, Duan Fang was startled when he heard this, he thought about it carefully, yesterday the British were not as generous as a few days ago, these are serious explanations, the British seem to be really afraid of Liaodong, if things are really like this. God, the end of the matter doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
However, there is no turning back when he opens the bow, what he decided at the beginning, if he wants to regret it now, it is estimated that it is not so easy, after taking a deep breath, Duan Fang looked at Zhang Biao in front of him and said lightly: "You now, come with me to expand the troops of a town, and Hunan will also be expanded, I don't believe it, he really doesn't care about us." ”
Zhang Biao also saw what Duan Fang meant by doing this, who didn't want to be the founding general, everyone wanted to, Zhang Biao also wanted to, so after bowing his head and thinking about it, Zhang Biao nodded, turned around and walked out.
East Lake, where the British advisory mission was stationed. The British who came to Wuchang this time, there are a total of one hundred and thirty-nine people, and they have a common characteristic, that is, they all belong to retired officers, of course, this is their identity here and even externally, but in fact, they are still officers under the Viceroy of India, this time, they are a retired soldier, it is entirely because the Viceroy of India received an order from London, so they did so,
The purpose of this is very simple, that is, to avoid overstimulating Liaodong.
At the beginning, after Liaodong declared war on Japan, Britain strongly opposed it, and then, in less than a month, after Tsarist Russia and Germany declared war on Japan, Britain's attitude at that time began to change, that is, to support Japan to hope to take advantage of the fire to rob, join the Liaodong side, hoping to share a cup of soup on Japan's territorial issue, however, what I didn't expect was that I had not had time to send a document to Liaodong in this regard. The declaration of war against Japan had not yet been declared, and as a result, something happened in Egypt, and the colonies in the entire African region began to jump up and down as if they had been discussed, and what was even more terrifying was that several parliamentarians and ministers who had proposed to declare war on Japan were either drowned in water while bathing or choking to death while eating, which was simply bad luck.
At that time, agents of the Intelligence Bureau also launched an investigation, but they came to the conclusion that they were all normal deaths, which made the entire British high-level headache, and they could only temporarily stop the affairs in Japan and complete the affairs in Africa first.
However, what the British top brass did not expect was that the Japanese would be so faceless and surrender in less than half a year, all of which interrupted Britain's overall plan.
The African region has not yet been completely liberated, Japan has surrendered again, and in general, Britain has not been able to get a bargain this time, so the British Prime Ministers' Council proposed to save some face at that time, and finally decided to carry out it from Tibet and the Huguang region in the Far East.
This is also the reason why the British will be dispatched in Tibet and Huguang at the same time.
On the Tibetan side, the East India Company bribed the imperial court officials in the hope that it could be solved in this way, but it did not seem to work very well, and was interrupted by the entry of the Liaodong Army.
Luke, who was the head of the British advisory group this time, was also the head of the personal guard of the British Viceroy of India. This time he came to Huguang, first, he wanted to train 50,000 troops for Duanfang, and second, that is, to survey the map of the entire southwest and south China, so as to prepare for the future plan of the British. Invasion preparation. (To be continued.) )
