Chapter 953, The British Prime Minister's Complaint
Of course, there can be no more assistance to Huguang, and even the advisory group stationed wherever it is stationed must be evacuated immediately, and the empire cannot give up the interests of the whole of Asia because of a small Huguang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I'll send your papers to London at once, you go down." Jim Green, taking a deep breath, said.
"Yes," Hauger replied, and then turned and walked out of the room, but instead of going back to his room to rest, he found something, which came to him suddenly, about one of the things he was famous for, and that was to write a book, and he had thought of a name, called "The Dominance of the Future War of the Airship." 》
A year later, when the book was published in Europe, the entire British and French soldiers were studying it, and even some schools positioned the book as a course of study, and this grandson almost brought Europe into a situation from which it could never be recovered.
Didi ...... Didi ....... Lushun Telegraph Office, the ticking sound began to sound, and when he heard the telegraph machine ringing, Zhong Lin, who was sitting on the sofa outside, walked down the aisle in front of the telegraph staff: "How is it?" ”
He estimated that after the British returned, they would definitely send telegrams to Hong Kong and even London, and they should know the contents of the telegrams as soon as possible before deciding how to go next.
"Director, it's a telegram from the British Legation to Hong Kong." The telegraph operator turned and said.
British, it seems to be a telegram sent by an old hen, Zhong Lin, who thought for a while, looked at the telegrapher: "Accept it immediately, and translate." ”
"Yes"
At the Lushun Headquarters, it was already dark, and Liu Jun, who was about to turn off the lights and rest, had not yet gotten up, when he saw that Zhong Lin had appeared outside.
"I think there's news from the UK?" Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, saw that Zhong Lin had a telegram in his hand and said softly.
It is estimated that although the exercise is still going on, the British observation group and foreign envoys arrived in Lushun yesterday, and one day is enough time for them to discuss and come to a conclusion.
"Head, I just intercepted the telegram from the old hen to Hong Kong, and they said that the report had been sent to Hong Kong by the Prince."
Report, this must be about this exercise, the report sent by the observation group, Liu Jun, who thought of this, glanced at Zhong Lin: "Contact the Hong Kong station, follow me to find out the content of this telegram, I want to make sure that they are talking about the airship." ”
"I have already given the order, the Hong Kong station has been fully mobilized, and as soon as the Prince has arrived in Hong Kong, the personnel will start to move."
Okay, this is the result I want, Liu Jun, who nodded, looked at Zhong Lin, and then waved his hand: "Change clothes, let's go to Clinder's place to eat, this time we dug such a big pit for the British to jump, no matter what, we have to celebrate well." After speaking, Liu Jun took the clothes from the side, put them on his body, and walked outside.
Hong Kong, the Governor's Palace, after a three-day trip, the Prince finally returned to the base,
As soon as he entered the base, the guards of the Doge's Palace came to the docks, and then, like escorting the Führer, sent Hauger to the Doge's Palace in a dense manner, of course, with Hauger's military rank, he was not worthy of this honor at all, and the reason why he did this was completely for the document on Hauger's body.
Along the way, Hauger always felt that the power of airships on ships was too great, and even when he was resting in Shanghai, he actually changed the report without authorization, hoping that the construction of a battleship would be stopped in China immediately, and the expenses would be used for the construction of airships, and he also smeared the merchant ship that sank the airship as a large armored cruiser.
The Governor's Palace, Nathan was already waiting outside the gate, as soon as he saw Hauger, Nathan immediately walked up, and after taking Nadton's document bag with his own hands, he saluted Hauger, but what made Haugle very dissatisfied was that Nathan handed the document bag to a very good-looking woman next to him, and what made him feel even more scared was that this beautiful woman was actually Asian.
"Thank you for your contribution to the Empire," Nathan didn't care about Hauger's thoughtful thoughts, and after hugging him, he said again, "We've prepared a welcome party for you, please." After saying that, Nathan walked in with a grin, and as for the beautiful woman who touched the bag, she actually showed a very faint smile when Nathan turned around.
Prime Minister's Office, London, United Kingdom. Prime Minister Arthur Balfour was sitting in front of the window with his coffee in his hand, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window in a daze.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Far East Hong Kong has sent a secret telegram report from Lushun Jim Green and Hauger." A young little secretary walked in and placed a thick file on the table.
Arthur Balfour, who picked up the document and looked at it twice, immediately stood up: "Churchill, Secretary of the Admiralty, Josephine, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Minister of War are invited." Director of the Institute, come to me immediately. ”
This is the first time since Arthur Balfour became Prime Minister that the main persons in charge of the three major departments of the Admiralty, the War Department, the Ministry of Finance, and the Research Center were convened in succession, after all, this document was too important, especially Hauger's last words, if the airship was not developed, the Imperial Navy's superiority would be gone.
Half an hour later, several ministers who had been ordered to summon had already arrived in the hall and looked at the few people in front of them. Arthur Balfour handed the document to those present and said, "Look at the urgent document sent by the Far East, you have been asking me to publicly support Huguang, and now you tell me whether I should support Huguang or not." ”
The Minister of the Army, Josephine, who was shouting loudly to support the Huguang region, is now sweating down, and he can hear that the prime minister is blaming himself, but things are already like this, and now everything he is saying is nonsense, it is better to think about how to solve this matter.
"Churchill, as the Lord of the Navy, what do you think of the Liaodong airship?"
Churchill was chubby, and when he saw the prime minister asking him, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then stood up and said: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, we can think about the Japanese combined fleet and the fleet purchased from the United States. I don't even have a chance to turn over."
Well, Churchill said what he said, and the prime minister, who looked down and thought about it, took a deep breath and looked at a few people: "Immediately convene a parliament to discuss the development of the airship." (To be continued.) )
