After finishing the matter of arranging the strategic flickering bureau, Hu Zhen was about to take a break when a soldier came in outside the door to report that Foreign Minister Niu Quyun and Chen Zichao of the Ministry of Intelligence had arrived.

"He's coming, let him in!" Since commanding the army to advance into Huaxia mainland, Hu Zhen has not seen Niu Quyun for several days.

"Sir......" Niu Quyun, who has been dealing with foreigners for a long time, still calls Hu Zhen according to his custom, and Hu Zhen doesn't care about it, nodding his head is a greeting.

"I have here a summary of the reactions of various countries to the unification of our Chinese army and the Chinese mainland......"

When Hu Zhen heard this, he stretched out his hand and beckoned to Su Wenzhen, who was busy with his staff officers: "Okay, Chief of General Staff Su, you can also put down the matter at hand for the time being, and come over to listen to the summary of the diplomatic situation!" ”

"The major European powers, through diplomatic channels and in the form of diplomatic notes, oppose the entry of our Chinese army into the Chinese mainland, among which England, France, Germany, and Oros are the strongest, and they also demand that our army not enter their concessions in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Tianjin, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria-Hungary and other countries are weak, but they also follow several big countries to join in the fun, saying that they want us to abide by the universal rules of human society, and the Netherlands is worried that we will be unfavorable to its colonies in Java and Sumatra. Don't dare to say anything......"

"Hmph, this is expected, it is a lip service, they must be saying, do these powers have any international conferences against us?" Hu Zhen was very contemptuous of this, and he was very concerned about whether European countries would interact with each other or hold a summit.

"According to our diplomatic intelligence sources, there are frequent secret telegram exchanges between European countries, the content of which is how to deal with the rise of a superpower in the Far East with the Pacific Ocean as an inland lake, among which the most energetic jump is the United States, and even some ministers openly clamored to form a coalition of Europe and America to interfere with the Chinese Army's action to unify the Chinese mainland when meeting with dignitaries of various countries!"

Chen Zichao, the Minister of Intelligence, went on to say: "Our Intelligence Department tried to intercept and decipher their messages on the priority telegraph line, but after deciphering some of the information, we learned that England, Germany, and France are all increasing their troops to the colonies of the Far East, and their scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the total number of naval warships in the Far East will exceed the total number of our naval fleet in six months!" ”

"Oh!" Hu Zhen has been focusing on domestic conquest during this time, ignoring the intelligence collection of the European side, hearing Chen Zichao say this, he couldn't help but secretly say that he was careless, but he felt that Chen Zichao had done a good job, so he nodded and praised: "Okay, the intelligence department has done a good job!" ”

Chen Zichao was a little embarrassed when he heard Hu Zhen's praise: "But we only deciphered some of the messages, and more secret messages couldn't be deciphered!" ”

"Did you bring the undeciphered messages?"

"Brought!"

"Okay, you leave it all to me! In the future, your intelligence department will continue to monitor the telegraph exchanges in the countries of Europe! Hu Zhen decided to set up nodes on the European submarine cable, steal the telegrams of the major European powers through magnetic radio frequency, and screen and decipher the important messages of the European powers through the supercomputer system on the nuclear submarine in order to grasp the opportunity.

As Minister of Foreign Affairs, Niu Quyun has been engaged in diplomatic work in the Chinese Association for many years, and is very familiar with public international law and diplomatic representations.

"From a diplomatic point of view, there is now a prerequisite for the European powers to have a reason to intervene in our war of unification, that is, the Qing court has issued an invitation to European governments on the grounds of 'quelling the rebellion' at home, asking them to send troops to help 'quell the rebellion'. We should destroy the justification for the European powers to get intervention! ”

Hu Zhen frowned and said, "This soft-boned Qing court may have already sent a letter of state to the European powers, inviting the European powers to send troops to intervene!" This is a very probable thing. ”

Chen Zichao said: "According to intelligence, if any European country wants to send a naval fleet to the Far East, it will take at least six months before the fleet can be dispatched in place!" And the armies of all countries, except for Oros, there is no country whose army can confront the million-strong army of our Huaxia Army in the Far East! ”

Su Wenzhen shook his head: "If the great powers interfere, there is no need to dispatch the army, as long as the navy is dispatched to cut off the connection between the industrially developed Nanyang and the mainland of China, our powerful army will lose the support of industrial logistics, and it will be difficult to support the combat needs of a million-strong army with the weak industry of the Chinese mainland." The worst situation for us is that the navy is defeated by the European powers, and the army loses the support of Nanyang industry and is defeated by the Oros and the Qing army and the Japanese army. ”

Hu Zhen took a deep breath, stood up and looked at the map, and decisively made arrangements to his subordinates:

"Perhaps we have only half a year or six months, and we must prepare for the worst and work in the best direction, and we must do this during this time: first, we must completely eliminate the remnants of the Qing court, unify the whole of Great China, completely take over the governing power of the local governments, and eliminate the last influence of the Qing court in various places; Second, the industrial sector should build a large number of backbone heavy industry enterprises in mainland China at the greatest speed, relying on the strength of Nanyang industry, and do as much as it can; 3. The Huaxia Army recruited 1 million young soldiers on the mainland according to the established plan and quickly began training; Fourth, the ships under construction of the Navy should be completed as quickly as possible, and they should be quickly put into training to prepare for the most severe challenges; 5. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall use all means to dismantle the joint intervention of the European Powers and, if not if not, to weaken the forces of the European Powers to the greatest extent......"

"Sir, no, you should become Your Majesty, if you want to prevent the joint intervention of the European powers, it is recommended to immediately ascend the throne and proclaim the imperial government, establish an imperial government, and declare to the outside world that the Chinese Empire will replace or inherit the power of the Manchu Empire, and completely eliminate the excuses and reasons for foreign interference."

Niu Quyun is very familiar with international law, he knows that the Huaxia Guild can only be regarded as a quasi-regime, and now it is at war with the Qing court, it can only be regarded as a warring group, or simply a rebel group of the Qing court, and it is inconvenient to deal with foreign countries.

"Enthronement? Emperor? Thinking of a series of red tape such as ascending the throne and claiming the emperor's sacrifice to the heavens and the earth, Hu Zhen felt a headache, but this placed too many people's high hopes and expectations, and it was a step that had to be done, so he quickly made a decision: "Okay, now order the special combat team to fight, raid Lanzhou, capture Guangxu and Cixi, and basically settle the affairs of the Qing court, I will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and then I will be crowned as a group of heroes!" ”

"Yes, order the special operations team to attack immediately!" After Su Wenzhen received the order, he quickly ran to arrange the special combat team's attack, and everyone else was overjoyed, everyone thought that Hu Zhen was the emperor, and he should be a marquis or earl or something.
