Jiangnan is an area that Xiao Lotian must control very carefully, and it is not good to lose Jiangnan, but it is not good to meddle too deeply, and last year's incident of the new army's attack on the Daotai Mansion in Shanghai has already caused dissatisfaction on the British side, and the British commissioner of the Shanghai Concession has secretly letter Xiao Lotian that he hopes that the British Empire should be notified in advance of such an action next time.

The Yangtze River valley was the sphere of influence of the British, who had been operating their forces in the region since the Daoguang period, with two Opium Wars and one Taiping War, from which the chaotic Jiangnan British seized untold benefits.

The current Jiangnan is dominated by the imperial court, the Hunan army and the British, and Xiao Letian's influence in this region is roughly the same as that of the French, and it should be ranked joint fourth.

However, Xiao Letian is Chinese after all, and there is a very compatible political ideology with Zeng Guofan, so the two sides are now in a semi-ally state.

The reason why Xiao Letian's bond did not get a full counterattack from the British bankers is because until now Westerners thought that this financial source was a joint venture between the Hunan army and the Ryukyus, and at this moment, the huge Hunan army group did not even dare to provoke Westerners directly.

But no one knew that there was no secret agreement between Xiao Lotian and Zeng Guofan, and the relationship between the two sides was far from being as close as the outside world thought.

It must be secret, because Xiao Letian's identity is too sensitive now, and if the Qing Dynasty and Europe are allowed to know that they have a secret meeting with Zeng Guofan, then the situation in the entire East Asia will change dramatically.

The Hunan Army Group is now in its heyday, and although it is a bit exaggerated to claim 500,000 elites to the outside world, it can be seen that Zuo Zongtang easily took away 70,000 or 80,000 people, which shows how the elite of the Hunan Army can get 200,000 or 300,000.

This is already a huge military bloc in Asia, and if it joins forces with Xiao Letian again, the No. 1 military bloc in East Asia, I'm afraid even the British will have a headache.

It's not that they can't fight, but they can't send so many troops, and who of the European powers would dare to send their troops to go on an expedition to Asia?

The Manchu court was even more afraid of such a scene, they still didn't know that Zeng Guofan had secretly gone to Tanggu, and the two hidden dragons, one old and one young, had already met.

If they knew, I am afraid that the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains at this moment would have been blood-red.

Therefore, Xiao Letian must go secretly, and after quickly finishing his own affairs, he will continue to go south. On the one hand, Xiao Lotian promised to take Jae-chun on a study tour abroad, but on the other hand, he had to go to Europe again to negotiate face-to-face with Bismarck.

The Spanish Revolution of 1868 was about to break out, and now Prussia was secretly plotting against France, and the iron-blooded prime minister was ready to use Spain as a thorn to provoke the anger of Napoleon III until France took the initiative to declare war.

This was the most important drama in Europe in the 19th century, and Xiao Letian could not have missed it!

Inside the secret base established by the CIA on Amami Oshima, Jae-soon discovers an incredible thing, and in a house, he actually sees himself.

That's right, through the small window, he saw himself standing beside Xiao Letian, listening to the reports of his subordinates, with Wang Huaiyuan, Sima Yun, Xiao Hexin, and Luo Huo in front of him...... There were even four eunuchs and four guards.

Jae Chun looked back behind him again, but found that these people had not disappeared around him! Could it be that he had seen a ghost? Not only was Jae Chun frightened, but Da Sixi, a eunuch who had no interest, rolled his eyes and fainted in fright.

Xiao Lotian pushed open the door and said with a smile, "They are our stand-ins, and the CIA has spent several years secretly looking for them...... "There was really a group of stand-ins in the room, and when they looked back, they all stood up and bowed and saluted.

Xiao Letian pointed to a man with a simple smile next to him and said, "His name is Xiao Xiulian, a senior intelligence officer of the CIA, who is best at disguise and makeup, he will accompany us throughout our trip this time, and the confidentiality work will depend on him......"

Xiao Xiulian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, these stand-ins are actually just similar, they can only deceive some outsiders, and the real relatives can still find the difference after seeing them, and the most terrible thing is that their voices can't be changed, so when we leave, the stand-ins can only appear in the newspaper from time to time......

"The Daqing People's Daily can now also be published regularly, and we send photos of stand-ins from time to time, I want to deceive the imperial court and those ambassadors, and there is still no problem......

Xiao Lotian patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, this secret visit to Europe also needs your disguise technique, whether you can avoid the eyes of French spies or not, it's up to you!"

"We must live up to the Prime Minister's expectations......"

Jae-chun was childlike at this time, ran to his stand-in and stared at him, and even pinched his face, "Are you wearing makeup......?" What's your name? Where are you ......?"

The child on the opposite side couldn't pretend to be the temperament of the Ninety-Five Honor at all, so that Zaichun suddenly fell to the ground with a soft knee, and said a string of bird words in his mouth.

Wang Huaiyuan smiled on the side, "He is a North Korean, his name is Jin Liufu, and he can't speak Chinese...... Just now he was begging His Majesty not to be angry, not to drive him home, he was reluctant to have braised pork here every day......"

"Okay, as long as you do your duty, I will guarantee that you will have braised pork to eat every day, a word is a certainty!" said Zaichun and stretched out his hand.

Jin Liufu couldn't believe that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty would take the initiative to shake hands with him, at that moment he was full of a sense of mission, and he vowed to do the glorious profession of stand-in until he died.

Wang Huaiyuan began to give orders to the heads of various departments of the CIA, these stand-ins should appear once every few days, how many minutes each time, how many photos should be taken, when to take a boat tour on the sea, when to inspect the military and civilians on Shuri Castle, this drama must be staged.

Xiao Lotian is expected to stay in Jiangnan for about two months, and then depart for Nanyang in early summer, when the stand-ins will perform a farewell ceremony at the pier.

Intelligence work is a meticulous job, and it is not a meticulous person who cannot do this work. Xiao Lotian couldn't even lead an insider, so he quickly left the secret base with Jae-chun.

Amami Oshima is now very rich, full of sugar cane fields and orchards, and the master and apprentice are walking and drinking a large glass of coconut water, and they are soon attracted by the shouts of killing behind a bush.

The two of them just wanted to walk in from the fork in the road, when suddenly a few black shadows flew through the air, and Long Ye shouted and rushed over to catch the shuriken with his bare hands.

The ghostly ninja flickered and moved in the bushes, and the dragon master soon fought with them, at this time, the misty imp and Haruna came out of it and said to Xiao Lotian with a smile.

"The first training camp for women's ninja is in the first phase of training...... I didn't expect to have Master Long come over and personally sparring him, this is really our honor!"
