In addition to these four largest universities, there are more than 20 universities under construction, including the University of Mining and Exploration, the University of Civil Engineering, the University of Economics, etc., these universities are still very small, some only more than 100 people, this group of international students into it, will undoubtedly expand the scale of the university, cultivate more talents.

It is worth mentioning that all the universities founded by Lin Fei do not have humanities majors, and Lin Fei is worried that the crazy influx of democratic ideas will pose a threat to his status, or is it that sentence, in China now, democracy is a dead end, and only when the country develops can democracy be practiced at that time.

The construction of railways, power plants, and universities is on track, and the plan to loot the world's talents is also going on in a frenzy, and every month hundreds of German and Russian scientists and engineers pour into China, either to factories or universities.

After the Lunar New Year in 1899, the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys had not yet dispersed, and Lin Fei began to think about a strategy to further defeat the Qing court.

Lin Fei successively occupied the three provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, which made the world powers extremely vigilant, and they already had a premonition that Lin Fei wanted to annex the Qing State alone, which they absolutely could not tolerate.

Britain first announced that it would increase its troops in Singapore, and the number of additional troops was 10,000, all of whom were elite British soldiers transferred from Burma and India, and secondly, Britain announced that the battleships equipped with fully armed heavy guns were officially put into service.

In fact, Lin Fei's Dynasty-class rocket battleship is the first type of fully armed heavy artillery battleship, but Lin Fei has taken extremely strict secrecy measures for Dynasty-class battleships, and countries around the world are not familiar with this type of battleship.

Britain's shipbuilding strength is absolutely not to be underestimated, and in the era of Lin Fei, the construction of the famous dreadnought began in 1905, and it took only 14 months for the dreadnought to be put into service.

At this time, seventeen months had passed since the British began to build dreadnoughts, and it was not impossible for dreadnoughts to be launched.

The British side was very secretive about the technical parameters of this type of dreadnought, Lin Fei only knew that it was equipped with six 350 mm caliber heavy guns, and Lin Fei's main gun could not exceed 300 mm in caliber.

It is said that this type of battleship is equipped with advanced steam turbines, and Lin Fei's steam turbines have no shadow yet.

Russia and Japan followed, because the Chinese Empire financed the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway for Russia (which was a condition for Lin Fei to exchange for Russian support during the Nanyang World War), so the Siberian Railway was built much faster than in Lin Fei's time, and at this time the Trans-Siberian Railway had been built to Vladivostok, that is, Vladivostok in China, about two years faster than in Lin Fei's time.

After the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway to Vladivostok, Russia transported troops and supplies to Blagoveshchensk (China's Hailanpao), Khabarovsk (China's Boli), and Vladivostok (China's Vladivostok) day and night.

At the same time as the Russian army was increasing, Tsar Nicholas II openly declared: "The Russian Empire in the Far East needs a seaport that will never freeze, and Port Arthur of the Qing Dynasty is such a seaport." "The blatant desire to possess the territory of another country is rare in the history of the world.

After the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan did not receive huge indemnities from the Qing Dynasty, and there was a huge financial deficit, which was made up for by large-scale borrowing on the one hand, and by frenzied plundering on the other, and the objects of this plunder could only be Korea and the Qing State.

At this time, Japan occupied the whole of Korea, and the first division was stationed in Shengjing, and the northeast of the Qing country was already encircled and encroached upon, and in order to better plunder the Qing country, Japan announced on February 1, 1899, the establishment of the Korean Empire, and signed a permanent friendship treaty with the Korean Empire.

As soon as the Korean Empire was established, it immediately made territorial claims to the Changbai Mountain of the Qing State, and the Korean government pointed out that the entire Changbai Mountain was Korean territory, and the Qing State should return the Changbai Mountain to Korea.

Germany was not willing to be lonely, jumped out, and repeatedly claimed that it would personally take action to punish the murderer of the lesson plan, in fact, it was to build momentum for the armed seizure of Jiaozhou Bay.

However, Germany did not dare to take action, the last gas bomb incident, Germany has reversed itself from the absurd rhetoric of the "Oriental Demon Law", and realized that behind the Demon Law may be the Chinese Empire is making trouble, and the Chinese Empire will definitely not watch Germany occupy the land of the Qing Dynasty.

Germany did not dare to brazenly attack the Qing Dynasty, because at this time Germany was also importing a large amount of gasoline from China, which accounted for about 80% of the total gasoline volume in the German market.

In order to get rid of Germany's dependence on Huaxia gasoline and vigorously support domestic oil refineries, the German emperor has repeatedly stated in public that he will control the market share of Huaxia gasoline below 10 percent.

The German oil refinery also came to Huaxia to buy technology, but Lin Fei of course refused, because of the technology purchase incident, Germany further became hostile to Huaxia.

The United States has long coveted the Qing Dynasty, but compared with Britain, Germany, Russia and Japan, the United States came late, and there was no place to put it down, so the United States strengthened its forces in Guam. Holland was a special adviser to coordinate the development of submarines, and it was reported that the first US submarine was expected to be launched in March 1899.

The United States is the direct victim of the Chinese trade war, so the United States has a stronger desire to get rid of China's gasoline control, and US President McGinn has signed a decree to increase tariffs by 20 percent on gasoline imported from China, so as to promote the purchase of domestic gasoline by gas stations.

In the context of the world's great powers coveting the Qing Dynasty, Lin Fei needless to say that he beheaded the Qing court, and even the provinces that continued to march into the Qing court would cause strong opposition from the powers, if Lin Fei dared to ignore the attitude of the great powers and attack the Qing court strongly, then the world powers would inevitably join forces and unanimously deal with Lin Fei.

Lin Fei must come up with a way to make the world powers have no time to interfere with him.

Lin Fei couldn't think of a way for a while, but at this time, it was Ruan Fu Baojiao who reminded him that among the harem girls, Ruan Fu Baojiao was the most politically minded.

"Master, let the world powers have no time to interfere with us, as long as they are involved in the war, once these countries are involved in the war, they will definitely not have the heart to care about our affairs."

Lin Fei's heart moved, "If the world powers go to war with each other, then we can be left alone, but how can we let them go to war?" ”

Ruan Fubao smiled coquettishly: "The master is a hundred times smarter than others, why do you still ask others?" ”

Lin Fei glared at him and said angrily: "Say it or not, don't say it, I'm going to spank you!" ”

Ruan Phuc Bao Jiao sneered: "Okay, well, I said, I said, the way for them to go to war is, of course, to provoke conflicts of interest between them, the current world powers, in Asia, Russia and Japan have contradictions, in Europe Britain, France and Germany, Russia has contradictions, in Africa, Britain and Germany also have contradictions, in the Mediterranean region, Italy and France also have contradictions. ”

Lin Fei raised his eyebrows, "How do you know so many things?" ”

"When I was in Vietnam, I often listened to the French talk about the international situation."

Lin Fei nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Europe is too far away from us, it is inconvenient for us to do things, I think it is better to provoke Russia and Japan in the Far East to go to war, what do you think?" ”

"I also think it's good to provoke Russia and Japan to go to war, but how can they go to war? Neither country is stupid. ”

Lin Fei couldn't think of a good way for a while, provoking two countries to go to war, this was a rather challenging technical job, Lin Fei waved his hand lightly, let Ruan Fu Baojiao go out, and calm down to think about ways to provoke Russia and Japan to go to war.

Lin Fei first decided to understand the attitudes of Japan and Russia towards each other, and Lin Fei instructed the embassy in Russia and the agents stationed in Japan to collect the attitudes of the two countries towards each other, from the official to the non-governmental.

The information was quickly sent to Lin Fei, who took a closer look at the information and found that Russia had a contemptuous attitude towards Japan, believing that Japan was just a small country in Asia, and the Japanese were just a group of small yellow-skinned monkeys.

Russia has never regarded the Far East as its main battlefield, nor even the Japanese as its main enemy, and Russia's strategic center of gravity has always been in Europe.

However, Japan has a mentality of respect and fear for Russia, and the respect is that Russia is a European country, and in the minds of the Japanese, Europe is synonymous with progress, and Asia is synonymous with backwardness, so Japan is bent on breaking away from Asia and joining Europe.

Fearing that, Russia had a vast land, a large population, and a large number of troops and warships, and Japan was worried that Russia would go south to the northeast of the Qing Dynasty and invade Korea all the way.

Since Russia despises Japan very much, when Russia is confronted with Japanese provocations, it will certainly give priority to the use of force rather than negotiation to settle the problem, and throughout the history of Russia, when dealing with countries that are weaker than them, they will always subdue them and take their land for themselves.

Lin Fei decided to use South Korea to make a fuss, and at this time in South Korea, the rhetoric of demanding the return of Changbai Mountain by the Qing Dynasty was very loud, and behind this kind of remarks was actually Japan's ambition to expand its territory.

Japan's expansion of territory to the northeast of the Qing Dynasty will inevitably arouse Russia's strong dissatisfaction, and Russia is very likely to use the means of military deterrence in the face of Japan, and behind Japan are Britain, France, and other countries, and they will absolutely not watch Japan being bullied by Russia, and a major war will very likely break out at that time.

If this war breaks out, it will break out in the territory of the Qing State, and the Qing government will definitely not dare to interfere, and the people of the Qing State will inevitably be extremely disappointed in the Qing State at that time, and their expectations and favorability towards Lin Fei will naturally increase greatly.
