Chapter 409: A frigate that can swim the Yangtze River

"Rub, John Bull is too wide, the peasant uprising wants to hang our flag, what can we do? Do we need to issue a statement to clarify? Hao Dajian was angry at the news that Huang Xiaolei fed back.

"It seems that we and John Bull will have a battle sooner or later, and we don't want our power to expand into the customs at all." Da Chen Yongqing said.

"Don't be in a hurry, time is on our side, and you can make a fortune by stuffing your head. When the war in Europe is together, we will be fragrant and sweet, and at that time, who we fight and how we will fight will be up to us. Lu Xiangyang said.

"Yes, I'm afraid that Maozi's Siberian Railway will not be built well enough, and it will delay our advance to Europe at that time!" Zhao Yi said.

"Why, you're leaning toward the Allies?" Hao Dajian asked.

"Can't we go from the territory of Tsarist Russia to support the Entente? We are going to take advantage of people, and who we help depends on the situation at that time, and I don't have any inclination on this issue, and the First World War was originally an unjust world war. Zhao Yi said.

"It's good to help everyone, sell a round of weapons on both sides first." Zhao Lang said.

"It's far away, now there are so many people making trouble under our banner, what should we do? Do you want to take the opportunity to expand your territory? Feng Yunyi asked.

"Expand your sister's territory? The feudal forces in the Guannai are intertwined, and who has the energy to manage those places that they occupy? We need to climb the tech tree quickly now to avoid trouble, or when the big war comes, what will you sell? With these three or two small workshop-like factories now, you still want to sell weapons at both ends? Zhao Lang said.

"Then you can't ignore those who play our banner, right? After the Manchus wiped them out, who would still mess with us? Feng Yunyi continued to ask.

"Cut, not all of those people are peasants who can't get by, and there are many bandits who take advantage of the chaos to recruit troops, can we manage it?" Hao Dajian said.

"I suggest that in the name of recruiting workers, we can take in the rebellious peasants who were scattered by the Manchurians, so that we can earn a good reputation and replenish the population here." Lu Xiangyang said.

"This idea may be a bit difficult to implement, it is impossible for the Manchurian people to let us go to the revolt peasants who are sheltered, and the traffickers who have business dealings with us probably don't dare to take this job." Zhao Yi said.

"Let John Bull do it, whether it's any humanitarianism or a refugee camp, let them help with the containment anyway." Lu Xiangyang said.

"I'm rubbing, John Bull is not stupid, why do you do this?" Hao Dajian said.

"Let's just say that we can't withstand the pressure of the hardliners in the country, so let's wait for the second battleship to come and smash the Dagu battery. Maybe there are a few frigates that can swim the Yangtze River with you, you ask if they can help, right? "Lu Xiangyang has also begun to learn badly, and blackmailing this thing will be addictive.

"Is this okay? Don't be self-defeating, in case of a conflict with John Bull, we will lose more than we gain, now that we are out of gas and short of ammunition, it is really not appropriate to add another opponent, this hair is not dry at the moment. Hao Dajian said.

"Look at your guts, you wouldn't be able to fight without planes, would you? We have no gas, no ammunition, who understands but ourselves? When it came to blackmail, even Zhao Lang was excited.

"That's okay, let Huang Xiaolei test John Bull's bottom line first, pay attention to proportion, don't be too tough." Zhao Yi said.

Since the AC-130U lifted the roofs of those princes and ministers that day, the picket traffickers in various places have significantly weakened the intensity of transporting "piglets" to Liaodong. As estimated by the traversal crowd, few local officials were truly dedicated to Aixin Jueluo's family, and once their lives were threatened, all of them flinched.

Now even the number of people who came to Liaodong by boat from Shandong and Tianjin Wei to seek a living has gradually increased, and the Manchu people are unable to block the people from the sea to leave the customs. The shortage of people in the public was slowly improved, so Zhao Yi was not very optimistic about Lu Xiangyang's idea of collecting the scattered rebellious peasants. In his opinion, it is too unreliable to let the British intervene, even if Huang Xiaolei can tell the flowers, the opium cow may not be fooled.

"Mr. Minister, I have reported to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs your suggestion that the Song-Ying agreement has not been implemented, and the parliament has seriously discussed the report I submitted." Huang Xiaolei, who received a notice from Zhao Yi, turned on the blackmail mode.

"Oh, what does your parliament think?" Ogna asked.

"It's unfortunate that the hard-line nationalists you least like prevailed in the vote. The treaty between Tsarist Russia and the Manchus touched their bottom line, and many gentlemen in the parliament chose to side with them for the sake of votes. Huang Xiaolei flickered.

"How bad is it?" Ogna continued.

"The parliament has passed the proposal to send additional warships, His Majesty the Emperor has signed it, and we will continue to exert military pressure on Tsarist Russia." Huang Xiaolei said.

"That's good news, isn't your operation in West Borneo just to prepare for the arrival of warships?" The Great Song Dynasty would send troops to the Far East, which John Bull had been mentally prepared for.

"One battleship and three frigates, the displacement of the frigates is small enough to sail freely in the Yangtze River, do you still think this is good news?" Huang Xiaolei said.

"Frigate, well, wait, you just said that it is a frigate that can sail in the Yangtze River basin? No, no, no, this won't work! Ogna finally understood what Huang Xiaolei was hinting at.

"I'm only responsible for conveying to you the message that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked me to convey, and there is nothing I can do to change anything." Huang Xiaolei had a hairy expression on her face.

"No, no, no. You don't have to go deep into the inland waterways, there is no way for the forces of Tsarist Russia to penetrate there. Ogener hurriedly said.

"No, you are mistaken, we sent warships that could enter the Yangtze River valley to prevent the Chinese who had sworn allegiance to His Majesty the Great Song Emperor from being slaughtered by the Manchus. Didn't you also say before that we are responsible for those Chinese people who hold the unicorn flag? Huang Xiaolei said.

And this kind of operation, huh? If I knew that you were so capable of breaking it, I wouldn't care about the Manchu protests, didn't this give the Great Song people an excuse to intervene in the Yangtze River Basin? In his heart, Ogner scolded the Manchu Prime Minister's yamen all over the place.

"Didn't you deny having anything to do with those organizations before?" Ogna asked.

"But the council thinks we should have something to do with them now!" What a terrible reason, this is obviously my warship, I have the final say.

"But the Yangtze River basin is our traditional sphere of influence!" Ogner had never seen such a shameless reason.

"We are not going to rob your sphere of influence, we are just using the road to rescue those Chinese people who have sworn allegiance to the Great Song Dynasty." Huang Xiaolei said.

Borrow! Hmph, you would have borrowed this kind of trick as early as BC, haven't you read the story of the Warring States period?

"We will organize and shelter those peasants who are loyal to His Majesty the Great Song Emperor, and your warships do not need to enter the Yangtze River Valley." Ogna said.

If it were said that he was going to enter the Yangtze River Valley, Ogna would definitely say that he would let the commander of the fleet talk about it, but when the opponent was the Great Song Royal Navy, which had battleships like BB63, it would be better to solve the problem at the negotiating table.
