Lost in thought, Churchill felt that Lubey's words made sense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is in the interests of Britain in Europe as well as in the Far East to draw Liaodong into the camp of its own country at present. At the same time, in the future, after the Reich and France jointly eliminated Germany, the Reich will be able to completely free up its hands and fully mobilize its forces to march eastward to make an expedition to Liaodong, so that Liaodong will completely disappear from its sight, and at that time, the entire Reich will once again return to ten years ago, with absolute dominating power over Asia.
Good way, the question is, how can this be achieved, Churchill was confused in his heart, he thought for a while, and felt that it was better to go back to England first, talk to the prime minister, and then decide on this important decision that could change the fortunes of Britain.
"Someone." Churchill, who had thought clearly, extinguished the cigar in his hand and shouted outward.
"Your Excellency, what's the matter?" An adjutant walked up to Churchill and asked with a bowed head.
"Prepare, tomorrow we will leave for London, whatever, you go and report to the president's attendants, the situation is urgent, and there will be no red tape."
Inside the Renshou Hall of the Summer Palace. Liu Jun, who looked at the telegram in his hand, put the telegram on the red desk in front of him, and then looked at Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian in front of him.
After adjusting his posture, Liu Jun thought for a moment after holding his hands in front of his chest, and then said: "Judging from the content of this telegram, France is about to stop cooperating with the imperial court. ā
The telegram that Liu Jun read just now was urgently sent by Zhong Lin from the Governor-General's Office of Vietnam, and it was recorded in detail that the French Presidential Office had sent a secret telegram to Frank, the Governor of French Vietnam, to stop cooperating with the imperial court. He also instructed the personnel in Chengdu to evacuate immediately and not to meddle in all the affairs of Liaodong and the imperial court.
"Yes head, judging by the contents of the telegram, this time France has stopped all assistance to the imperial court." Zhong Lin on the side replied, agreeing with Liu Jun's words.
Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, saw Zhong Lin say this, and after looking at Liu Jun standing in front of her, she found that Liu Jun's face was not very good, and she looked sad. After he took a step forward, he looked at Liu Jun and asked, "What's wrong with you." It doesn't look good. ā
Liu Jun, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the two of them, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said, "I'm feeling unworthy of Guangxu's death." ā
Guangxu, Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian, who heard this, both raised their heads and looked at Liu Jun in front of them with a puzzled expression, they didn't know why Liu Jun was upset for Guangxu.
Liu Jun saw the doubts of the two, and after a long breath, Liu Jun said: "Guangxu is a competent monarch, if it weren't for Cixi's suppression over the years, he wouldn't have come to this point, it can be said that if it weren't for Cixi, the current court wouldn't be like this." ā
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian both understood Liu Jun's words, Guangxu, it is indeed not worth dying, especially this time, because Cixi insisted on signing a contract with France, causing Guangxu to vomit blood and die. Judging from this milk, Guangxu has been suppressed too deeply over the years.
"He is also a narrow-minded monarch, otherwise he would not be angry because of this matter." Zheng Yiqian on the side affirmed Guangxu at the same time, but also said Guangxu's shortcomings.
Liu Jun did not object to this, and after taking a deep breath, Liu Jun looked at the two people standing in front of him, and after laughing, Liu Jun pointed at Zhong Lin and asked about the situation of the imperial court after Guangxu's death.
Zhong Lin had already summarized the recent situation in the imperial court, and now when he saw Liu Jun asking, he took out a document from his black file bag and said: "Head, after Guangxu's death, Cixi discussed with the imperial court, and finally decided to let Fu Lun serve as the emperor. ā
Walking around, the imperial court is still inseparable from the title of Xuantong, and it seems that the imperial court is really not good. Thinking of this, Liu Jun shook his head and said: "I don't know, now that Cixi has forced Guangxu to death, and France has given up cooperation with her, does she feel like she wants to die in her heart." ā
It should be, hearing this, Zhong Lin and Zheng Yiqian definitely thought in their hearts.
Chengdu Yang'en Palace. Minister of Posts and Telecommunications Zaifeng listened to the sound of wooden fish beating inside with a panicked face. He is very flustered now, and the source of the panic is because of the telegram in his hand, which was obtained this morning, on which was a letter of apology personally sent by Frank, the governor of French Vietnam, which clearly stated that in order to have a harmonious relationship between the two Romanians and stabilize the situation in the southwest, France has decided to stop cooperating with the imperial court and withdraw from the advisory group that has arrived in France.
After receiving this telegram, Zaifeng immediately went to the foreign hotel under the Prime Minister's Yamen, but when he went over to take a look, the French adviser stationed there had already left last night.
He knew then that the French had evacuated the people the previous day, and then sent a telegram to him. Knowing that the situation was urgent, Zaifeng immediately came to the palace and prepared to discuss this matter with Cixi, after all, the current emperor is useless at all, just a puppet.
"Mr. Li, how long will it take for Lafayette?" Zaifeng, who was waiting impatiently, looked up and asked, Li Lianying, who was standing in front of him and blocking his way like a door god.
Although Li Lianying is usually high-flying, he still doesn't dare to be too arrogant about Zaifeng, he carefully took out a golden pocket watch from his arms and looked at it, and then said: "It is estimated that there is still half an hour." ā
Nima, half an hour, it's too late when half an hour passes. As soon as he heard that half an hour later, Zaifeng cursed and looked at Li Lianying with a pleading face, hoping that Li Lianying could report for him again.
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report immediately." Seeing the anxiety in Zaifeng's heart, Li Lianying took a step forward and turned around and walked in.
After a few minutes, the sound of the wooden fish beating inside stopped, and Zaifeng, who heard this sound, breathed a sigh of relief, and then tidied up his clothes, and after the Xuan character was heard inside, Zaifeng bent down and ran in.
With an ordinary sound, Zaifeng, who ran in, knelt on the ground in front of him and said, "Lafayette, something is wrong." ā
Cixi had just calmed down from Guangxu's death, and when she heard that something big had happened, her hands trembled suddenly, and she was very worried that at this time, the Liaodong Army would attack her.
At this time, if the Liaodong Army launched an attack on itself, he really had no way at all, and the assistance of the French battalion had not arrived until now, and he had no strength to resist the attack of the Liaodong Army at all.
