Chapter 996: What's Wrong with the Empire?

This is not a telegram of exchange between Liaodong and Beiyang naval divisions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info looked at the telegram of Churchill thought in his mind.

Indeed, Adam nodded and said, "Yes, the telegram just received, Liaodonghe sent nearly six telegrams in a row through the Berlin Legation. ”

"They are telegrams sent publicly?" Churchill asked after looking at the telegram in his hand again.

The intelligence minister on one side knew the situation best, and the intelligence minister said: "It's not that they sent it through encryption, after the telegram from Liaodong was sent, it was forwarded from Berlin, Germany, and we deciphered the telegram, which was sent from Berlin to the Beiyang Navy Division to obtain interception." ”

It looked like they had a problem, and Churchill, who heard this, thought to himself for a moment, and then said, "Your Excellency, I think, what should we do?" ”

Do something? Adam looked at Churchill in front of him with a puzzled face, and then, Adam understood what Churchill meant, that is, to help the Beiyang Sailors, so as to increase the goodwill of Liaodong.

"Inform the Foreign Secretary to come and see me." Without the slightest hesitation, Adam spoke.

Renshou Hall of the Summer Palace in Beijing. Liu Jun looked at the map on the wall motionlessly, now the army commanded by Wang Shizhen has directly approached Jianmen Pass, and then can attack here, and in Guizhou, Duan Qirui's corps has entered Hunan, intending to enter Guizhou from Huaihua, Hunan, and then after laying Tongren, immediately go to the north, pass through Sinan, Fenggang, Meitan, and after taking Zunyi Mansion, immediately march from Loushan Pass, and together with Zhang Xun's eleventh corps from Xiangyang, liberate Chongqing, eastern Sichuan. Originally, Liu Jun could directly order that Li Yuanhong's corps, which had just returned to Shun, enter Guizhou, however, considering that Li Yuanhong had just returned to Shun directly, he asked him to do something against the imperial court, which was not good for Li Yuanhong's reputation, so Liu Jun would let Duan Qirui, who was in Wuhan, command the army and enter Hunan. Then he commanded the troops to attack Guizhou.

On the Guangxi side and the Fujian side, Feng Guozhang had already commanded two corps of 80,000 men and began to make preparations for attacking Yunnan, and everything seemed to be in good order.

"I think at the end of September, we will be able to take Chengdu." Liu Jun, who put down the command pole in his hand, smiled and said to Ding Ruchang beside him.

Ding Ruchang was no longer suitable to be on the front line because of his age, so after the end of the war with Japan, Liu Jun ordered Ding Ruchang to come back and work in the staff department.

Ding Ruchang is also good in this regard, and in a few months, he has made the staff headquarters decent. Much better than when there was no arrangement.

Seeing that the founding of the country was imminent, Liu Jun planned in his heart to let Ding Ruchang serve as Minister of National Defense and Nie Shicheng as Vice Minister in the future to assist him in managing the army.

"What the marshal said is, but we can't take it lightly, in Zunyi Mansion, Guizhou, there is a town's troops, although this town is a local army, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and just two days ago, a batch of arms from Germany to the imperial court has been issued, and now their equipment has improved." Ding Ruchang said after thinking for a while.

Germany's aid materials, as we know, are ostensibly arms drawn from Japan, but in fact, they are 10,000 rifles and 20 artillery pieces transferred from the Guangxi Ordnance Bureau.

At the beginning, I had already discussed with Germany that the aid to the imperial court could only be within 20,000, and the rest, that is, the Japanese material was not enough, and it would be transported from Germany.

This point, Clinder handled it very well, it was directly 10,000, and there was no more, even so, it was still some firearms that had been used, it seemed that Clinder still didn't want to help the court in his heart, but for this plan, he would make such a move.

However, even so, according to the news transmitted by Zhong Lin from Chengdu, Cixi ordered that day to invite Clint to arrange personnel to go to Chengdu in the Qinzheng Palace, which was the first time in several years, even in France some time ago, there was no such treatment.

"You're right, although we used all the weapons, they can't be said to be fake, they still pose a threat to our soldiers. In this way, I will ask the Intelligence Bureau to strengthen the intelligence collection of this town, and then send it to Duan Qirui, so that he must be careful. Liu Jun, who thought about it for a while, said.

can only be like this, the current Duan Qirui's department has not yet arrived in Huaihua, everything? Make it.

"Head, telegram." As soon as Ding Ruchang finished speaking, Zhong Lin picked up a document bag and walked in, took a telegram from the bag, and handed it to Liu Jun.

"Here we are." After saying a word, Liu Jun handed the telegram to Ding Ruchang.

Ding Ruchang took a look at it, the telegram was sent from Britain to Hong Kong, and in the telegram, London signaled Nathan to immediately send a telegram to Jim Green, asking him to send an invitation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Liaodong, hoping to visit the British Navy.

"It looks like Britain has been fooled." Ding Ruchang, who read the telegram, said.

That's the case, Liu Jun nodded, looked at the two of them and said, "Now, let's wait for Jim to submit the invitation to Wu Tingfang." ”

Wangfujing, Beijing, the British Legation, the cigarette in Jim Gelin's hand had already burned half, but he didn't have the slightest intention of smoking, he didn't understand one thing, when did the navy of the British Empire fall to the point of actually asking the Beiyang Navy to visit, this is simply a cheap thing. In the past, the Imperial Navy had never happened before, but now.

London asked to send invitations to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Admiralty of Liaodong, and if this was sent, the empire would in the future say that it had accepted the fact that Liaodong was strong.

Although he was not satisfied, Jim Green still ordered his assistants to prepare documents in this regard, and in dissatisfaction, the Prime Minister's orders still had to be listened to.

"Your Excellency, the documents have been prepared, when do you think you will leave?" A lieutenant colonel asked in a low voice as he walked in.

Well, when he heard this, Jim Green put down the cigarette in his hand, then stood up, and after receiving two thick papers from the lieutenant colonel's hand, he ordered the car to be prepared, and he was going to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Admiralty in Liaodong, and sent them this thing that he considered humiliating. However, compared with these, Jim Green is more worried about whether Liaodong will accept it and whether he will visit Britain, after all, although the battleship of Liaodong was sunk in Germany, their relationship does not seem to have broken down.

Although the battleship Yixin has been sunk in Germany at present, judging from the current situation, there is no contradiction at all.
