Chapter 434: Is This a Spoils Or What
There is no need for Zheng Yiqian to say, Liu Jun already knows what Zheng Yiqian wants to say.
Colony, Zheng Yiqian or Li Hongzhang wants to tell himself, that is the colony.
The unification of Germany was completed late in 1871, when the world's colonies had almost been carved up by Britain and France. Needless to say, Africa was not even taken a sip of by Germany, Asia, the South Seas were Portuguese territory, India and Vietnam, which were occupied by Britain and France respectively. Therefore, among all the great powers, Germany has no muscles, but there is nowhere to exert its big man.
The Far East, as an almost global component, has a spokesperson or a palm-sized colony, which is a dream for Germany.
"Jiang is still old." After a long sigh, Liu Jun sighed to himself for this method.
Seeing Liu Jun smiling, Zheng Yiqian knew that he already knew what to do, got up from the bed, went out to make a cup of tea for Liu Jun, and handed the tea to Liu Jun, Zheng Yiqian sat next to Liu Jun and asked lightly, "What are you going to do?" ”
How to do it, Liu Jun can't answer now, but the general direction is there, and the rest, that's just a matter of details, and this detail can't come out all at once.
Hehe laughed a few times, Liu Jun looked at Zheng Yiqian, looking like a master in the world: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
"Che, I don't want to hear it yet." The angry Zheng Yiqian pulled the quilt and turned out the light while falling on the bed.
Pop Bang New Year arrives with the continuous sound of explosions in the sound of firecrackers.
On the first day of the first lunar month in 1903. Liu Jun, who had breakfast at Li Hongzhang's house, did not return to Li Hongzhang's apartment after going outside the city to pay respects to the dead soldiers, but directly returned to the headquarters.
Since getting the general direction, although it is the Chinese New Year, Liu Jun is still thinking about how to deal with this problem in his heart.
After two days of consideration and discussion with Li Hongzhang, Liu Jun finally knew that he should let Germany stand on the same front with him.
According to Li Hongzhang's proposal and his own considerations, Liu Jun finally decided that he would carve up Japan, just like the previous countries carved up their spheres of influence in China. Divide up Japan. It's just that this time it's a blatant partition, half of everyone, Kyushu belongs to himself, the four countries belong to Germany, and as for the rest, Russia will take it and forget it, so that even if Britain wants to do something, then Germany, Russia will not agree. And among them, Germany will be the first to jump out, after all, these four islands are no worse than any territory in Africa, if the four countries are won, then Germany will be able to form the Far East Fleet here at the same time, but also allow it to contain the strength of Britain, and Liu Jun has always been willing to deal with many things in one fell swoop.
"Head, why don't you come home here today?" Zhong Lin, who was in charge of being on duty at the headquarters, heard the door ringing, raised his head, and he saw Liu Jun and Zheng Yiqian walking inside.
"Why, I can't come." After a few steps to his place and sat down, Liu Jun narrowed his eyes.
"Nope." Zhong Lin hurriedly shook his head, and shifted his gaze to Zheng Yiqian, he knew very well that Liu Jun would not come here for no reason.
"Wu Tingfang. Are Li Jingfang and Tang Shaoyi here? Before Zheng Yiqian could explain to Zhong Lin, Liu Jun took the lead in asking.
What, these people are also here, Zhong Lin chuckled in his heart, he knew very well that the people Liu Jun just mentioned are now important tasks of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and among them, they are Wu Tingfang and Tang Shaoyi.
"No, I don't." Shaking his head vigorously, Zhong Lin was even more puzzled. He couldn't figure out why Liu Jun urgently summoned the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now.
Before Zhong Lin was fully awake, there was a knock on the door outside the house, it was estimated that these three people had arrived, Zhong Lin hurriedly ran over and opened the door to take a look, and it was indeed these three people who came.
"Has the handsome arrived?" Wu Tingfang, who was walking in the front and was wearing a thick cotton jacket, looked at Zhong Lin, squinted his eyes and asked.
"Arrived, what's inside?" Zhong Lin nodded numbly.
Whoa, before Zhong Lin could fully open the door, the three of them rushed in at once, after all, it was definitely not a good thing to let the superiors wait for them here.
"Dashuai, we" Wu Tingfang and the others were going to apologize to Liu Jun, but Liu Jun didn't value this kind of hypocritical interests, who didn't have a thing, who arrived early, who arrived late, there was no difference, anyway, this would not lose a few catties of meat.
"Alright, sit down, let's discuss things." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he took the document from Zheng Yiqian's hand.
"Take a look first." After speaking, Liu Jun handed the document to Wu Tingfang, who was sitting next to him.
Zhong Lin only saw at this time that there were a few words written on it that almost made him faint.
About the plan to unite Tsarist Russia against Japan.
Is it necessary to unite with Tsarist Russia and let Tsarist Russia send troops, but this can be done, Tsarist Russia is still stationed on the northeast border, at this time, it would be good for Tsarist Russia not to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, how could it still send troops.
"What do you mean?" While Zhong Lin was thinking, Wu Tingfang had already finished reading the above plan.
Wu Tingfang has been with Li Hongzhang for many years, and although he doesn't know most of Li Hongzhang's technology of using razing to control razing, he can still know most of it.
From this document, he has already seen that it contains Li Hongzhang's use of razing to control razing, and at the same time, there are slight changes.
Originally, he used razing to control the barbarians, but he didn't let his army go out, all with the help of external forces, and now this plan, in Wu Tingfang's words, is to unite the barbarians to control the barbarians.
"Yes." Seeing that Wu Tingfang understood what he meant, Liu Jun nodded slightly and picked up the document from the table: "I'll leave these things to you, how can you persuade Tsarist Russia to join us in declaring war against Japan, you can think about it yourself, but I can give you the bottom line, that is, Kyushu." Four foreign places, you can give to Tsarist Russia. ”
Phew, Wu Tingfang has been doing diplomacy for many years, but he has never been so bullish as to go across the river to discuss the robbery, and before Japan has been defeated, the marshal has already begun to implement the distribution of spoils.
"Dashuai, what do you think we use as a breakthrough?" After all, this is not a trivial matter, and in addition to the fact that this is a sudden attack, Wu Tingfang is slightly short-circuited. So he asked Liu Jun beside him blankly.
This? Liu Jun glanced at Wu Tingfang, he didn't expect Wu Tingfang to ask such a question: "What, some time ago, Japan didn't fight for Sakhalin Island with Tsarist Russia, so I used it as a stabbing hole, but I can only use this as a reference, as for how to do it, then your Ministry of Foreign Affairs will handle it on its own, I won't interfere, I will have the result." ”
Only by delegating power can these people be unconstrained, and only when they start doing things can they let go and go far.
"Understood." After the three people who came together nodded, this time they picked up the documents on the table, walked out of the headquarters with a hint of excitement and doubt, and began to discuss the issue with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Seeing that the three of them were gone, they went out, Zhong Lin came to Liu Jun's side this time: "Head, if you want to unite with Tsarist Russia to send troops, will people agree?" ”
Zhong Lin was never very optimistic, why did Tsarist Russia send troops to attack Japan.
"Yes, of course it will, but if we want him to send troops to Tsarist Russia, we still have one more thing to do, if this matter is handled well, then Tsarist Russia will send troops even if it has doubts."
There is another thing, listening to Liu Jun's meaning, this matter is an important factor in determining the dispatch of troops by Tsarist Russia. What is it that will change the attitude of Tsarist Russia.
"Head, I don't understand." Zhong Lin shook his head and looked at Liu Jun in confusion.
Hehe, Liu Jun smiled slightly, stood up and walked to the map, and after looking at the map of Japan, Liu Jun turned around and looked at Zhong Lin with straight eyes: "Pull Germany into the water." ”
Hiss Zhonglin gasped, listening to this meaning, he didn't want to unite with Tsarist Russia, but also to unite with Germany and attack Japan together
