Arthur Balfour is not a fool, Churchill's words have clearly pointed out that the Japanese fleet suddenly disappeared from a powerful opponent in the Far East, and this is probably the credit of the airship, time is running out, and if you waste one more minute, it will be a little more dangerous to Britain, and the development of the airship must be put on the agenda, otherwise in the future, the powerful navy of the empire will be beaten clean in front of the airships of Liaodong and Germany.

Hearing the Prime Minister's order, several ministers gradually left, except for Churchill, who remained.

After everyone left, Churchill looked at the prime minister, and then said: "Your Excellency, you look at the Huguang area......."

Withdraw, withdraw all aid, now is not the time to have a conflict with Liaodong, at least not now, Arthur Balfour thought to himself.

"In the Far East, we have to temporarily adjust, notify the Colonial Department, send electricity to Hong Kong and India, stop aiding Huguang weapons, and recall the advisory group. We can't take any chances. ”

"Okay." Churchill hummed and walked out with a smile on his face.

In the Governor's Palace of Hong Kong, a telegram had been sent to Nathan, and this telegram was sent from London, regarding the resolution of the evacuation of Huguang Advisory.

It seems that London has given the order, and if we insist, this governorship must be rolled down. Nathan, who read the telegram, handed it to Koran, who was sitting on the side,

Kolan had come to Hong Kong secretly the night before, and he had come here to communicate with Nathan about his next plan, and to see if he could ask London again for assistance to the Huguang area.

"We're leaving, this is the first time the Empire has bowed its head in Asia, it's a dark day," Nathan said with a sad face, that tone, even if his parents died, it was not so painful.

Hey, Curran, who sighed, looked at the telegram in front of him with trembling hands slightly, and closed his eyes in pain, he knew that he could only obey in front of the resolution.

"You give this order." Koran knew that once he gave this order, he would leave a disgraceful night in the future.

That's all there is to it. Nathan, who nodded, picked up the telegram and looked at the secretary in front of him, motioning for him to send the telegram.

The British Empire, to say the same history, it is estimated that from tonight, it will not exist, looking at the secretary who walked out, Nathan thought with grief and indignation in his heart.

Lushun Headquarters, Liu Jun, who was sitting on a chair, ate the cut apple in one bite, and then took out a document from the table, which was sent by Zhong Lin. The Hong Kong delegation writes the annex to the report.

"See, Britain was fooled, and the report of the observation group clearly put forward the importance of airships." Picking up the report and reading it twice, Liu Jun snapped and threw the thick document on the table and said.

"Well, the group helped us a lot this time, but they became British sinners." Zheng Yiqian, who had already read the content, nodded and said.

"It doesn't matter what they do, they are doing good deeds, you go and tell the old thing to Clinder about this news, and say that Britain has taken the bait, and I hope that their airship can test fly, and put pressure on Britain to study the airship with me at full speed."

Liaodong's airship technology has now been all given to Germany, some time ago, Klinder and Liu Jun discussed, using this incident to make the airship known to everyone, anyway, Germany's current airship technology is not bad, and there is no need to worry about Britain snatching it.

"Okay, head, I'll go right away."

After Zhong Lin went out, Liu Jun, who looked through the documents again, found that there was no mention of any problems about the Huguang area.

"Why is there no movement over there, do the British still want to intervene?"

"It shouldn't be, the imperial army has approached Huaihua, and it is possible to launch an attack in the near future, Huaihua has fallen, and the west gate of Hunan has suddenly opened, and there is no obstacle to enter Changsha." Zheng Yiqian put down the notes in her hand and said.

Hey, Huguang, why is this place making trouble at this time, it's unforgivable.

"Li Yuanhong, where are they?" Since he couldn't get any news from the British side, Liu Jun decided to look at what Li Yuanhong was talking about.

"Just laid down the Zhijiang River. He is currently in the Huaihua movement. ”

It seems to be soon, Liu Jun, who heard the answer, thought.

Zhijiang, Zhijiang at this time, is just a small county town, and it has no fame at all. Because Duanrui believed too much in the deployment of Feifeng Mountain, in Zhijiang, Duanrui only placed the strength of a sentinel. These more than 100 people, under the pressure of the imperial army, did not have time to resist at all, so they laid down their weapons, and then opened the gate of Zhijiang City and let the imperial army enter the city.

Zhijiang County Ya, Li Yuanhong's headquarters has been moved from Yuping to Zhijiang County,

Syllable...... Putting the command cadre in his hand on the table with a map, Li Yuanhong asked about the march of Yang Zaixing's troops beside him, from where Yang Zaixing, Li Yuanhong knew that the troops were less than 50 kilometers away from Huaihua, but intelligence showed that in front, there were about 3,000 enemy troops, and looking at their deployment, it was a position that had been dug in the past.

It should be the first line of defense, hearing what Yang Zaixing said, Li Yuanhong immediately walked to the drawer and took out the map of the city defense force that Zhang Lin gave him, and quickly found the location of the first line of defense.

The Liaodong Army is really powerful, and it actually marks the artillery positions clearly, and depending on the situation, Liaodong also has a grasp of the deployment of troops in Sichuan, and the imperial court is doomed to fail no matter how the negotiations are this time.

Imperial court, Li Yuanhong, who sighed, put down his thoughts, and looked at Yang Zaixing on the side and said: "Order, the army should not attack for the time being, and when the artillery arrives, it will attack, and in addition, the herald artillery team will deploy an artillery position in Zhao Village and wait for my arrival." ”

This is an outpost attack on Huaihua's attack, you can't be careless, if you want to fight, you have to take Huaihua's first line of defense at one time, give Huaihua Duanrui a big dismount, let them know that confrontation with the imperial court is a dead end, and resistance to the imperial army equipped with Liaodong weapons is a dead road, no matter who it is. will be crushed into ashes.

Zhao Village, a small village next to the official road leading to Guizhou outside Huaihua, the once quiet small village has now stationed thousands of troops, and there is no smoke from the campfire cooking in the village, and the people here have been tossed by the Hunan soldiers and fled to Guizhou. The rest is just a lifeless village, and if it weren't for the arrival of the imperial court's troops, it is estimated that it will be completely abandoned after a while. (To be continued.) )
