Chapter 1263 No one believes that it is a drill
The sudden increase in the number of troops in South China during this time has not meant anything to explain this, ? ?. r?a?n?? e n `o?rg
"You are concentrating more than 100,000 troops in South China, how can the surrounding countries explain, do you want to go where to wander, this reason is obviously not valid, then, where are the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed now, how do you come to be smooth." Li Hongzhang saw where Liu Jun was sitting without saying a word, and immediately asked.
This, Liu Jun, who heard this, immediately began to ponder.
Li Hongzhang is right, his current strength is concentrated in South China, if there is no explanation, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to Britain and even France next to him.
was pondering, and suddenly Liu Jun heard the voice of Wu Tingfang begging to see outside.
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wu Tingfang will definitely not come to him in ordinary matters, and at present, if he comes to find himself at this juncture, I am afraid it is not a good thing.
"Let him in." Temporarily giving up the discussion with Li Hongzhang, Liu Jun motioned to let Wu Tingfang come over.
A few minutes later, Wu Tingfang, dressed in a suit, walked in from outside, and, in his hand, there were two documents, these two documents, which looked like they should be protests or notices or something.
"Your Majesty, today, the French Embassy and the British Embassy came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs one after another to hand over a notice, asking us what we are doing with the concentration of troops in South China."
came, after hearing Wu Tingfang's words, Liu Jun turned his eyes and looked at Li Hongzhang and Zheng Yiqian in front of him, he didn't expect that as soon as he raised this question, Britain and France had already asked him.
"Look, people have already asked, and if you don't give an answer, the situation in the southwest that has been stabilized will be shattered again. The entire southwest will be unstable again. Li Hongzhang, who was on the side, spread his hands and said.
Liu Jun had already considered this, but at this time, how could he be tactful, he was thinking.
"There is no way, while there is no war against the South Seas now, we can only cover up this operation as an exercise." I didn't hear Liu Jun speak for a long time, and Li Hongzhang, who was on the side, immediately raised his head and said.
Well, it seems that there is only this way at present, Liu Jun, who heard this, nodded, and motioned for Wu Tingfang to talk back to Britain and France according to this meaning.
In London, the Foreign Minister's Office, the Foreign Secretary looked at the telegram in his hand with a puzzled expression, this telegram was a telegram just sent back from the Far East, and the telegram said a problem, that is, Liu Jun had concentrated so many troops in South China just to carry out a large-scale military exercise in South China.
Another drill, where did he come from another bullshit drill. The Foreign Secretary, who picked up the message, cursed incessantly.
He has already begun to be disgusted, a little bit of Far East Liu Jun has happened, it is definitely a reason to be able to gag your mouth, exercise.
Heavy concentration of troops, exercises.
There is such an exercise, and more than 100,000 people are concentrated in South China, can it be that two exercises can be clearly explained and understood, and the foreign minister does not believe this.
"Your Excellency, is there any news from the Far East?" The adjutant on the side asked in a low voice after walking over.
The minister glanced at the adjutant in front of him, then nodded and said, "Yes, our intelligence officers have observed that a large number of troops have appeared in Liu Jun's South China region, so I have followed the Prime Minister's wishes and sent a question to Liu Jun's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ask them why they are concentrating their forces in South China. But look at this. With that, the minister handed the telegram in his hand to the adjutant.
"Military exercises, they didn't start the exercises a few months ago, it's only been a long time."
By the way, his own lieutenants all looked at it like this, and the minister who heard this sighed, and he decided to inform the prime minister of the matter.
The Prime Minister was not a philistine, and although he was disgusted with Churchill's philistinism, he was particularly concerned about Asian affairs, so when he heard the Foreign Secretary say that the result of the questioning was an exercise, the Prime Minister began to ponder in his heart.
He wants to find out whether Liu Jun is going to practice this time, or what kind of purpose he has.
In other places, he is not worried, he just wants to know one thing, that is, whether Liu Jun is targeting his India and Myanmar
Burma and India, which are their largest colonies in Asia, must not be lost, otherwise, their fiscal revenues will plummet, which is not what the prime minister wants to see.
"You check with me carefully, what is Liu Jun's concentration of troops in South China this time?" Of course, the prime minister will not believe that Liu Jun's mobilization of troops this time is also for the exercise, and he must have some purpose here, but now, he doesn't know what the secret is.
When the foreign minister heard this, he immediately looked puzzled, and this matter did not seem to be his responsibility.
The prime minister also understood that there was a mistake in his words, so he immediately nodded, and then asked the foreign secretary to call the new intelligence chief and let him take charge of the matter.
London, the mayor's office, Churchill, who was sitting in a chair, laughed helplessly, just now, he heard an intelligence officer pass by outside and say, Liu Jun gave the reason for mobilizing troops in South China this time for exercises. Hearing this, Churchill felt that his IQ had been insulted.
He knew that Liu Jun was definitely not for the exercise, but for Nanyang. The reason for this is completely to cover people's eyes.
Although in his heart, he knew all these reasons, but he could not tell anyone.
He is no longer part of the leadership, but a small mayor, and he has absolutely no reason to ask or even make suggestions.
knew where Liu Jun's intentions were, but he couldn't say it, and this feeling made Churchill extremely anxious.
Hey, I hope the Prime Minister will understand the meaning of this soon, Churchill, who took a deep breath, thought after looking at the map hanging on the wall.
Beijing, Yang Xin Palace, Liu Jun is listening to Zhong Lin's report, since Wu Tingfang sent a diplomatic note to Britain and France according to his own will, Liu Jun ordered Zhong Lin to immediately follow up on the news of Britain and France.
Two days, two days, Zhong Lin finally reported the situation in Britain and France now.
From Zhong Lin's words, Liu Jun got a result, that is, Britain and France didn't seem to believe that this time, they were going to exercise.
If you don't believe in yourself, isn't this a bit faceless?
