Chapter 189: For Russia
Li Hongzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, he was still a little confused, what does this truce have to do with Heilongjiang.
Slightly bowing his head and thinking about it, Li Hongzhang still couldn't figure it out, raised his hand, Li Hongzhang picked up the teacup on the table, gently blew off the tea powder on the tea, and took a sip.
Li Hongzhang did not put down the teacup, but stood up and walked to Liu Jun's side, and asked faintly full of doubts: "What does your truce with the imperial court have to do with Heilongjiang?" ”
"Of course it matters? Liu Jun glanced at Li Hongzhang, and then said what he thought in his heart.
There was a clang, and the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and smashing whom.
The entire war room of the Lushun Headquarters seemed so silent now, except for the white curtains that were blown by the hot wind outside, the rest seemed to be still.
Li Hongzhang looked at Liu Jun in surprise now, and didn't notice that the teacup in his hand had fallen to the ground, and some tea had splashed on his black shoes.
Strange, I don't just say that we will reorganize the army and mobilize heavy troops to garrison Heilongjiang to guard against Russian bears. Why is this old man like this? Liu Jun touched his head and looked at Li Hongzhang, who was looking at him as dumbfounded as a statue.
Li Hongzhang was indeed stunned, he thought that Liu Jun's truce was to firmly grasp the newly occupied Heilongjiang in his hands, and then he would stop the war, who would know that Liu Jun was just occupied by Heilongjiang at all, and the problem of people's instability was not thought about at all, but went straight to prevent Russia.
Russia, Li Hongzhang has also been dissatisfied with Russia over the years, after all, Russia's wolf ambition can be seen by everyone, however, he can only be dissatisfied.
Over the years, although he has the intention to mobilize troops into Heilongjiang to give Russia a dismount, the imperial court is pulling its own hind legs everywhere, not to mention, adding Japan. Li Hongzhang didn't have time to go, but now, in order to guard against Russia, Liu Jun actually thought of a truce with the imperial court so that he could expand the army and train.
hissed, and after a while, Li Hongzhang let out a long breath.
Looking down and thinking for a while, Li Hongzhang believes that now Russia is secondary, and now the final solution is still the Mongolian problem.
Nodding slightly, Li Hongzhang praised Liu Jun, and when he returned to his seat, Zhong Lin had already made a cup of tea again, Li Hongzhang took a sip, and then said lightly: "Your idea is very good, but now, the old man thinks that the Russian matter can be put aside first, and now there is a bigger situation, which is why I came in person." ”
There are more important things than guarding against Russia, Liu Jun opened his mouth wide.
"Mongolia." Seeing Liu Jun's surprised eyes and look, Li Hongzhang said his thoughts lightly, then stood up again and said what he meant.
Li Hongzhang's approximate meaning is. Although Russia has always wanted to enter the Northeast, but due to the international situation, they dare not do it for the time being, and Mongolia is different, Mongolia has always had a very stiff relationship with the imperial court, but the majesty of the imperial court is still in these years, and Mongolia has not rebelled, but this time Liu Jun did not say that the imperial court lost its armor, but lost the Northeast, Mongolia will definitely see that the imperial court is a paper tiger, and when the time comes, the possibility of rebellion will be very great.
Bang, the coffee table that Liu Jun had been standing next to him slammed, and the fruits placed on it suddenly spilled all over the ground.
Li Hongzhang was frightened by Liu Jun's action, and before he could speak, Liu Jun heard Liu Jun say viciously and coldly: "He dares." ”
After this look, the meaningless emotion was cold, even Li Hongzhang, who was a few meters away from Liu Jun, felt the coldness in this voice.
Li Hongzhang shuddered unconsciously in his heart, he didn't expect that Liu Jun would have such great power when he was angry.
Liu Jun is indeed on fire, he has always been divided from Mongolia in later generations because of the destruction of foreign elements, and now it seems that these people have long wanted to break away from the rule of the Qing Dynasty so that they can start anew.
Hmph, Lao Tzu is not in this world, I can't control it, since Lao Tzu has come to this world, who the hell wants to rebel against the water. Don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite, thinking of this, Liu Jun raised his head and looked at Li Hongzhang not far away: "Old man, please go back and tell the court that although Jilin is under my jurisdiction, who dares to have bad intentions in the court, Lao Tzu will definitely be the first to kill him." ”
This, although Li Hongzhang was satisfied with it, but looking at Liu Jun's expression, his evaluation of Liu Jun in his heart went up a notch, that is, his face is really not ordinarily thick.
He also didn't want to think about who had bad intentions towards the court now.
However, Li Hongzhang did not say this, but nodded. The table must bring Liu Jun's meaning to the imperial court.
Li Hongzhang came this time to hope that Liu Jun would stop fighting. I thought it would take a lot of effort to speak, but it wasn't so easy or easy.
The matter has been completed, Li Hongzhang has no worries in his heart, he only noticed at this time that there are many circles drawn on the map next to him, and these circles are the most in the Heilongjiang area, Li Hongzhang found that the closer to Russia, the more these coils.
"What are you?" Li Hongzhang didn't understand, pointed at the coils with his finger, and turned his head to look at Liu Jun.
Liu Jun took a look at it and suddenly realized. It was his design to defend against Russia and the future garrison.
Liu Jun believes that it is a matter of time before Russia goes to war, and if the national strength is strong at that time, then these will not be used at all, but, just in case, if Russia takes advantage of its unstable foothold and suddenly kills it, then it is normal to lose some land, and his map on it will send the interception line formed after Russia enters Heilongjiang.
After listening to Liu Jun's statement, Li Hongzhang no longer liked Liu Jun, and he decided to help Liu Jun no matter what.
Li Hongzhang was not to help Liu Jun, but to keep Heilongjiang from being remembered by the Russians. Thinking of this, Li Hongzhang turned his head and asked a very important question, that is, how many troops Liu Jun was going to station in Heilongjiang.
After all, in the present, the strength of troops is an invisible situation of coercion, and it is also a situation of convenience and speed.
"How many troops do you plan to station in Heilongjiang in the future?" Li Hongzhang looked at Liu Jun.
Liu Jun had already considered all this, and saw Liu Jun come over and pick up a command stem made of pine wood and coated with a layer of red paint as thick as the thickness of his middle finger. Walking in front of the map, Liu Jun pointed to the east and west of Heilongjiang.
"I plan to place two corps in the east and west of Heilongjiang."
Two corps, that is, 80,000 people, Liu Jun believes that with these troops, it is more than enough to guard against Russia.
According to Liu Jun's command, Li Hongzhang agreed with Liu Jun's idea very much, but the problem was that Li Hongzhang was worried that once the war started, how the ordnance of the troops would be delivered quickly. So, he immediately lowered his head and began to think.
Liu Jun smiled slightly, he knew what Li Hongzhang was worried about.
Without saying anything, Liu Jun walked straight to the table, rummaged around on the table a few times, and saw Liu Jun take out a sketch: "; Old man, I plan to build an arsenal in Heilongjiang, so that once the war breaks out, the ammunition of the Northeast troops will not be a problem. ”
Arsenal, this is a good way, not only can attack Heilongjiang, but also the excess ammunition can also be transported to various places, however, Li Hongzhang felt that Liu Jun had not finished speaking.
"Are you having a problem?" Li Hongzhang narrowed his eyes.
Yes, Liu Jun did encounter a problem, and now the imperial court is no longer attacking his own salary. He didn't have the extra money to build this arsenal, and this arsenal was not to produce some guns and ammunition, Liu Jun wanted to use this arsenal to produce more powerful weapons.
In Liu Jun's opinion. Russia is not so easy to deal with, it is not the imperial court, nor Japan, but two countries that straddle the two continents of Asia and Europe, and they have a military foundation in other aspects, and at present, they are clearer than themselves, even more than Japan.
Liu Jun knew that if he wanted to resist the Russian attack at that time, his advantage was not in reality, but in his own mind, and in some weapon drawings of later generations that existed in his mind.
He's going to turn him into reality. If it wants to become a reality, it is necessary to build an arsenal, but now in Liu Jun's warehouse, except for spending troops and some projects, there is no extra money to build this large arsenal. It will even be one of the best arsenals in the country in the future.
"Old man, I'm short of money." Liu Jun directly said that the biggest difficulty appeared.
