Chapter 1280 Breaking Up Britain and France
After Hu Langge's telegram was intercepted, it was therefore an encrypted message, and the British side could not decipher it for the time being, so the British minister issued an order two hours after receiving the telegram, signaling the Nanyang side to start an investigation.
Soon, the reason reached Xiang's table.
The Songshan was attacked by an unknown at five o'clock and sank in Manila.
To be a bad thing, the British who saw this situation was taken aback, he seemed to understand something, and without any hesitation, he urgently summoned the Minister of Defense and the Minister of the Navy, and notified Hong Kong to pay close attention to Liu Jun's reaction in the Nanyang incident, and in addition, after arranging all this, he sent a telegram to France to ask the French side for the reason.
Europe has begun to be chaotic, and telegrams from Britain and France have begun to fly all over the sky, and from time to time there will be exchanges between the two countries in Zhong Lin's intelligence bureau.
It's all trivial, seeing the content of the message, Zhong Lin really doesn't know what kind of message he should choose to show Liu Jun.
Finally, Zhong Lin selected a telegram from many telegrams, and this telegram was sent by the French president to the British minister, which talked about how to decide on the interests of France and Britain in Asia if war broke out.
This news should be of interest to Liu Jun, and immediately, Zhong Lin picked up this message, and then began to walk towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
It has been six hours since the sinking of the Songshan ship, and in these six hours, Liu Jun has already ordered Wu Tingfang of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to protest against Spain and ask Spain to give an explanation.
At the same time, Liu Jun also gave Zhong Lin an order to pay close attention to the situation in Britain and France.
Therefore, Zhong Lin ran to the telegraph office in a hurry, tracking the British and French messages throughout the process. No, it's been almost three hours, and I've got an important message.
Zhong Lin, who picked up the message, quickly came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and handed the telegram in his hand to Liu Jun and said: "Head, it's similar to what you think, Britain and France seem to care about their interests very much, this is the message that has just been intercepted, you can take a look." After Zhong Lin finished speaking, he immediately handed the message to Liu Jun.
Liu Jun looked at it, and then placed the message on the table, and he knew that Britain and France would definitely communicate about this matter.
I can't let you have a chance to be together, Liu Jun thought in his heart.
Britain and France will definitely stand together in this interest, which Liu Jun does not want to see, if the two of them stand together, I am afraid that they will interfere with their own troops, therefore, how to separate Britain and France, this is a problem that Liu Jun has to solve now.
"Keep an eye on the British and French movements." After making arrangements for Zhong Lin, Liu Jun went back to the chair and began to think.
The interests of Britain and France have been left behind, that is, whether they can give them certain advantages elsewhere while satisfying their present interests, and in this case, it is estimated that Britain and France will be able to disintegrate.
British Liu Jun doesn't think about it, after all, people have big businesses and don't care about some interests at all, but France is different, France is not as big as the British family, and he doesn't have many colonies. Moreover, their economy is hit, and it is precisely when money is needed.
Money, thinking of this, Liu Jun seemed to think of something, and slightly captured it a few times, and Liu Jun understood at once that he could make Britain and France completely disintegrate and interfere with himself in terms of assistance.
France is now in a time of economic depression, and if it is possible to give them free loans at this time, and on the premise of this benefit, it is again satisfied that they will pass Malacca without any conditions in the future, France will certainly not be on the same page as England.
That's it, Liu Jun, who had thought clearly, showed a smile and then walked outside.
When he went out, he happened to see Zheng Yiqian coming in from outside.
Zheng Yiqian was ordered to ask about grain and grass this time.
Seeing Zheng Yiqian coming, Liu Jun immediately told him about his dispersion in France and England.
Zheng Yiqian is also a capable person, and with a little dialing, he understands what Liu Jun's purpose is.
After placing the information asked in her hand on the table, Zheng Yiqian then didn't even have time to take a sip of tea, and went to the finance department, after all, the finance department only knew how much money could be lent out this year.
After asking about the situation, Zheng Yiqian immediately came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again, found Wu Tingfang, and told Liu Jun what he meant. Wu Tingfang heard that he was going to give aid to France, and after thinking about it for a while, he also understood what Liu Jun meant, and immediately Wu Tingfang said that the notice to France would be sent out in the afternoon.
In the Governor's Palace of French Vietnam, the Governor was sitting in a chair, and on his desk was a document that had just been received from the embassy in the capital, which showed that Liu Jun's empire would lend 50 million pounds to France for free in order to make the friendship between the two countries last forever, and in addition to the difficulties of French friends. Moreover, the cable also mentioned that the Malacca incident will definitely not affect the relations between the two countries, nor will it affect the question of Vietnam's status in France.
It's already very straightforward, that is, Vietnam is still yours, and whatever happens in Malacca will not affect our relationship, and the relationship can be better.
"Your Excellency, what do you think this document means?" The adjutant looked at the papers on the table and asked the governor sitting in his chair.
The Governor smiled slightly, he knew the purpose of this document, but this document, he could not make any decisions, he had to pass this document to France.
"Immediately send a secret telegram to Paris." The governor didn't want to say the meaning of this document, and he didn't want to speculate, but he knew that if he was the president, he would definitely agree to this proposal, after all, cooperating with Britain was only for interests, and cooperating with Liu Jun was also for interests.
This is 50 million, not 5 million, if there are 50 million in our own country, then many projects that have been stopped will be started again.
Seeing that the Governor did not answer his question, the adjutant nodded and walked out with the papers on the table.
Messages soon began to be transmitted to Paris, France.
"Head, they've already sent the message out." In the Palace of Cultivating the Heart, Zhong Lin handed the message he had just intercepted in his hand to Liu Jun.
After reading the message, Liu Jun smiled and didn't say anything, but placed the message on the table
He already knew what the message was about,
France, at last, is going to respond to itself, and from this point of view, wins.
