Duan Qirui stopped the pace of the attack, he sent a report to the Qing court, saying that there was heavy artillery to stop it, the artillery mark had been extinguished, and it was impossible to continue the attack, and asked for support, it was best to support a group of artillery troops, otherwise it would not be able to fight, by the way, he wrote a detailed telegram and reported it to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai was in Yuan's house, almost touching the bald head, Niang Xipi, what the hell is going on, who is supporting Baotou behind his back, even 108, this Baotou is definitely a difficult bone to gnaw, at least, their Beiyang Army does not have the ability to be willing to kill him for the time being, unless Beiyang is completely filled in.

Small station training, 20 years of time, Yuan Shikai cast the glory of the Beiyang Army, from the heart, Yuan Shikai is so proud, he does not think, Baotou has the ability to deal with the Beiyang Army, but the offensive is called, the siege of three is missing one, the double is encircled, this learned from the book of soldiers, he knows very well, he is not afraid of the field, but the other party has been operating for many years, under the fixed camp, the Beiyang Army has no basis for fighting a war of attrition, once the Beiyang Army is completely filled in, he will not have any possibility of recovery.

Yuan Shikai knew very well that all his status, all his foundations, were built on the Beiyang Army, if there was no Beiyang Army, every qiē would be a flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, and even the regent who had already had a conflict with him, would definitely not let him go.

Without hesitating for long, Yuan Shikai secretly sent a report to Duan Qirui, don't continue to attack, don't attack regardless of anyone's orders, see if there is a turnaround, as for where the turnaround is, even he doesn't know.

Yuan Shikai's side, like being beaten with a moth, was at a loss for what to do, and received a telegram from Duan Qirui. There was an uproar on the Beijing side, and the Qing court was angry that the Beiyang Army did not carry out the order, faced the anti-thieves, and did not actively kill the enemy. On the contrary, in the eyes of the Qing court center, there is no one in China that can deal with 108 heavy artillery, and the Beiyang Army should want to swallow this batch of heavy artillery.

But what if there is such an idea, the entire Qing court. Now the only ones who can fight are the Beiyang Army, except for the Beiyang Army, the others are all guys who talk on paper. They did not know what the defensive line of heavy artillery, reinforced concrete, and Maxim represented.

Zhu Erdian once again attracted many ministers, this time he was slightly angry, 20 108 guns are nothing, but old-fashioned artillery. But he found that even he underestimated Baotou a little, for no other reason. It's because there must be someone behind it, how can China, a poor and backward country where even the customs are under the control of the British, produce heavy artillery, 108 heavy artillery. This is a representative of the firepower of the British, divisional level. There is no other country than a few great powers in the world. With such a strong firepower.

Zhu Erdian's eyes first fell on Germany, the German minister Mu Mo did not make a sound, for the German minister, as early as when Baotou resisted the first attack of the Beiyang Army, his heart changed, Baotou and Harpy, and even the relationship with Germany, he knew that Britain and France contacted Japan to jointly interfere in Baotou, strong force, he had no way to say no, the Beiyang Army was all German weapons, and he knew very well the combat effectiveness, at that time, Baotou had no way to resist the Beiyang Army's soldiers, even if he intervened, It can't change the reality, but now it's different, Baotou has the power to resist the North Ocean, unless Britain, France, Japan and Russia jointly send troops, otherwise, there is no way to help Baotou.

It was Zhu Erdian's previous gathering that made Mu Mo pay attention to Baotou, and he found that the environment in Baotou was really good, and it was more than a thousand kilometers away from every coastline, which was a disadvantage in terms of maritime traffic and even in the maritime age, but once it had a strong army, a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers was definitely a natural barrier.

The Anglo-German contradiction, at the beginning of the 20th century, has become the most important contradiction in Europe, the form of the world has been divided, Britain and France carved up the largest colony in the world, as a latecomer Germany, empty of the reputation of Europe's first industrial power, but there are not many colonies, most of the colonies are barren, but among the colonies, many raw materials, a certain number of years, can be used as industrial raw materials, belong to all countries value, if Germany has a large enough number of colonies, Germany's comprehensive national strength, On the basis of the original, there will be a larger-scale improvement, which is also what Germany has always looked forward to, but it has never been able to get, and Germany has been seeking some kind of breakthrough.

The world environment has been stabilized, to break this environment, there must be war, the German emperor and Germany, has always been so prepared, they expanded the armament war, expanded the navy, so that Germany in a short period of time, established a high sea fleet that can confront Britain, as for the army, it is even more expanded, they believe that after perfect preparations, Germany will inevitably take the lead of the European continent, but the natural difference, coupled with the name of the empire on which the sun never sets, makes them dare not act lightly, Therefore, in all aspects of the weakening of Britain, the Boer War had the German military behind, a small South Africa, a certain way, slowed down the pace of Britain, and now, it seems that Baotou is another South Africa.

China, the former big country, Napoleon's lamented sleeping lion, has not attracted the attention of Germany, China is vast, but too barren, there are some mineral exports, but for Britain and France, which control the entire southeast, they occupy the lion's share, Germany, only has some influence in Shandong, and in other places, the influence is minimal.

But the appearance of Baotou has made Germany see expectations, if you want to break an environment, there is only war, China is like this, and Europe is the same, a Baotou that can produce a large number of industrial products, and even military industry, what does it mean for the whole of China, he knows very well, Zhu Erdian is suspicious, suspecting that Germany supported Baotou, but Germany, in addition to exporting two bullet and shell production lines, is also some basic industrial machinery, just by virtue of this, it can produce such a miracle in Baotou, This is basically impossible, all countries have a perception of Baotou, there is arrogance and prejudice, but now, Germany can see further, maybe, if the balance of the world is broken, it can be found in Baotou.

Zhu Erdian's responsibilities to Germany, of course, Mu Mo denied it repeatedly, in fact, Zhu Erdian also knew that these could not be scrutinized at all, Britain and France occupied considerable rights in China, customs and coastlines, any local power and even countries, if they wanted to export arms to China, it was possible, but they could equip two or three divisions, and even more than 108 firepower, which was absolutely impossible, as for China to produce such weapons, Zhu Erdian did not believe it even more, but subconsciously, the object of accusation was aimed at Germany.

Including Britain, France, Japan, and Russia have all accused Mumo, Mumo is not a novice diplomat, he served as a diplomat in many countries before coming to China, and is familiar with diplomatic rhetoric, not to mention that it has nothing to do with Germany, even if it has a relationship, it is all pushed away.

There is no real evidence, a meeting, almost unhappy, Murmo just clarified that Germany did not support the arms, as for the rest, not a word was said, other countries, too busy to take care of themselves, how could they support, things back to the beginning, there is no 108 artillery, the Beiyang Army of the four towns, just take it, go through the motions, people who know a little about the battle, people who have a little command experience, will know that rash attack, the loss will be very huge, and even maybe, the entire Beiyang Army will be filled in, It may not be pleasing either.

The Beiyang Army is already the last force that the entire Qing government can use, and even this force is the foundation of Yuan Shikai's start, after Zhu Erdian, 20 doors and 108 can promote the Beiyang Army to dispatch, but to make them die to the impact, this is absolutely not good.

What to do, Zhu Erdian first threw himself into Japan, the Japanese Minister Ijiin Hikoyoshi, immediately avoided Zhu Erdian's gaze, Zhu Erdian's meaning, the Japanese minister, very clear, is nothing more than to let Japan send troops, now Japan, has suffered an unprecedented blow, the economy, there is no improvement at all, across the ocean, send troops over, the cost is huge, Baotou is not coastal, Japan painstakingly built an ocean-going fleet, a certain amount of dù above, on Baotou, it is equivalent to scrapping, Even if it is landed from Tianjin, from Tianjin to Baotou, there are more than 1,000 kilometers, and such an investment is not ordinarily large.

Korea and Taiwan, Japan has not yet completely swallowed, the previous cotton war, Japan has suffered a great loss, the current textile industry and various new industries, is still in the process of gradual recovery, without the support of Britain, he can not move at all.

Zhu Erdian was very clear about the situation in Japan, as the British ambassador to China, he was temporarily unable to put forward a bill of support for Japan, and set his sights on Russia, and the Russian ambassador directly rejected Britain's request, and joked that the construction of the Far East Railway had not yet been completed, and Russia's strategic deployment had not been carried out, and many things were not suitable for being exposed, so don't think about it as cannon fodder for the British.

Japan can't do it, Russia is still under the recovery of the city, even if Britain takes the lead, it is impossible to interfere in China's interior, a certain amount of Chengdù, fell into stagnation, all kinds of news, through Guò Mumo, passed to Harpy, and spared most of the world spread to Baotou, Yang Yuanzhao completely put his mind at ease, the front line is still fighting day by day, training is the mainstay, and here, for Shanxi, Hebei and even Henan's encroachment strategy, has not stopped, Even if you don't have the ability to swallow such a huge chassis, you can still have a small range of influence and lay the foundation, and the northwest is the foundation of Yang Yuanzhao's foothold for a long time in the future.
