Now, because of the unfavorable handling of Chinese affairs, Zhu Erdian has been recalled to the United Kingdom, and Dou Nale has been appointed by Salisbury as the new Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to handle China affairs.

The ministers of various countries met in succession with the British ministers to discuss the current situation in the Qing Dynasty.

Dou Nale said solemnly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that our first batch of coalition troops to protect the embassy area have set off from Tianjin, they must be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow." As long as our army arrives, and the Boxers dare to make trouble again, they will severely suppress me, don't be afraid of the dead, we are more than ten countries united, and no force in this world dares to compete with us. ”

Körner replied: "Mr. Dou Nale, you are too optimistic, don't forget, now there are more than 100,000 Boxers in Beijing City, this is not at all these hundreds of troops can be eliminated, they can only give us limited security protection, I ask all countries to make a decision, immediately send a large army, only a large group of men can ensure our safety?" Or even completely wipe out the Boxers! ”

"This ......"

Dou Nale had some hesitation, after all, at this time, it was the most difficult time for Britain to dispatch a large army? Easier said than done!

Now the British Empire has completely fallen into the quagmire of the Second Boer War and is unable to extricate itself, and now the British government has sent more than 200,000 troops to South Africa, plus the garrisons stationed in various colonies around the world, Britain is now without troops to send!

If there is really a large-scale war, then Britain must show the momentum of Big Brother, and his status determines that he cannot just symbolically send a few hundred people, which is simply difficult to convince the public! Moreover, if it is really a large-scale war, it will fall into the terror of Tsarist Russia and Japan, these two rogue countries have long been eyeing each other, as long as the resolution is made, the two countries will definitely send a large army, and when the time comes, Russia and Japan, which are heavily armed, will have the absolute right to speak, which the British cannot allow in any case.

The Russian minister on the side, Mu Dan, shouted impatiently: "Mr. Dou Nale, I think we really have to take action, only a few hundred troops can't deter the boxers of the Boxers at all, I also know that your country is now in the Boer War, the strength is a little nervous, I think this matter of sending troops, we can definitely serve, His Majesty the Tsar has ordered the assembly of troops, as long as we pass a resolution, we can immediately mobilize the army and enter China!" ”

The Japanese minister Nishitokujiro also echoed: "Yes, Your Excellency Dou Nale, we must send troops to teach the Chinese, their boxers have seriously damaged the interests of various countries in China, if they do not give them a bloody lesson, they will not be born in peace, we have stationed nearly 100,000 troops in Korea, through our combined fleet, we can send a large army to Tianjin or Jiaodong Bay at any time, as long as our army is pressing, we are not afraid that their Lafayette is not honest!" ”

Dou Nale waved his hand and said: "I know what you mean, but now is not the time to expand the operation, now that General Seymour has arrived in Tianjin, I think our second batch of coalition troops will set off soon, that is more than 2,000 troops, enough to suppress the Boxer group of rebels, they are bare-handed, not to mention guns, even the big blades are not a single person, there is no combat effectiveness at all, we can definitely wipe it out, now the Great Qing Kingdom has not declared war, if we rashly move troops, We will be condemned in the international community! ”

The German minister Klinder said: "I am not in favor of sending a large army, even if we only have an army of a few thousand, it is enough to suppress the Boxers, and when our reinforcements arrive, I will lead the army to attack the Boxers This tone has been suppressed in my heart for a long time, I must use the heads of the Boxers to vent the anger in my chest!" ”

Köllner replied: "Mr. Clinder, please don't play with fire***, this time your German army only has a few dozen people rushing over, those Boxer boxers, even one person can drown you with a mouthful of foam, you better be honest, we are too passive now If it continues like this, we will not be able to cope with the domestic pressure at all, Mr. Dou Nale, you also know what Minister Zhu Erdian was transferred back to China for, please make up your mind as soon as possible, rest assured, we have so many countries to send troops together, I believe that no one dares to make a moth, do you say, Mr. Mu Dan, Mr. Side Jiro? ”

Mu Dan laughed dryly and replied: "Mr. Körner, what are you talking about, now that we are on the same front, it is natural to jointly safeguard the interests of our great powers. And we will definitely respect the vested interests of other countries in China, and I think the same is true of Mr. Jiro Nishitoku. ”

Nishitojiro replied: "Yes, yes, Mr. Körner, Mr. Dou Nale, our Japanese Empire will definitely safeguard the interests of all countries in China, we are only trying to maximize our interests, not really to occupy the whole of China, and the status quo will definitely be maintained for the concession and the interests of various countries, please don't worry." ”

Clint sneered: "Xide Erlang, Mu Dan, I advise the two of you not to send a large army, don't forget the Siberian tiger in the northeast, if we are just self-defense, he will definitely not care about the affairs of the pass, but once your army enters the hinterland of China, I think he will definitely not stand idly by, he has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, are you ready to withstand the wrath of the revolutionary army of the Republic of China?" ”

Mu Dan replied proudly: "Mr. Clinde, you don't need to scare me, last time it was because our empire was in the cold, and it was difficult to send reinforcements for a while, which led to failure, this time is different, our Tsar His Majesty has mobilized an army of 300,000, and he will attack the northeast at any time to avenge our revenge last year!" ”

While everyone was discussing eagerly, a military attache ran in and said urgently: "Mr. Dou Nale, I have just received a telegram that our army has arrived outside the city of Beijing and can enter the capital at any time. ”

Everyone stood up, and Colner shouted: "Now, of course, we will enter the city of Beijing now, don't you know that we are now facing the attack of this Boxer rebellion at any time?" Dou Nale said: "Yes, you can enter Beijing City, now it is too unsafe, with their arrival, we will have some safety guarantees, immediately call Colonel Mercer, so that they can enter Beijing City!"
