Chapter 927: The Speed of Britain
Duan Qirui didn't know what Liu Jun's decision would be after this telegram was sent to Baoji, but he estimated that if Liu Jun was willing, at least within three days, the battle for Hubei would start, just in case, Duan Qirui decided to let the troops on the front line move first, so as not to have a passive situation after receiving the attack order.

"Understood." Zhang Lin nodded, immediately turned around and walked out, and Duan Qirui had no intention of sleeping now, but turned on the electric light and turned on the map of Hubei. Begin to carefully observe the current defensive positions and deployments of the Qing army.
Baoji, in the headquarters, it was almost eleven o'clock, Zheng Yiqian, who was next to the stove, saw that Liu Jun was still sitting on the chair looking at the book, and after shaking her head slightly, Zheng Yiqian lifted the kettle from the side, and then filled the tea that Liu Jun put on the coffee table, and then said: "Rest, it's eleven o'clock,"
So quickly, Liu Jun, who was watching with relish, looked up and saw that it was indeed eleven o'clock in fifteen minutes.
"I'm just surprised to you, you have never read books, you would be so fascinated by a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", this is the second time." Seeing Liu Jun put down the secretary, Zheng Yiqian said with some dissatisfaction.
The secretary that Liu Jun read was the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" published by Liaodong Book Company, and when he was in later generations, Liu Jun had read this book, and now he reads it again, just to get the feeling of reading books back then.
"I'm going to learn something here." Liu Jun said with a grin.
Learn things, you can pull it, if this sentence is said by Zhong Lin, Zheng Yiqian still has some belief in her heart, but if this is Liu Jun, Zheng Yiqian will not believe it. I know too well who Liu Jun is.
"Okay, don't put gold on your face, I don't know how you are, still study, you want to learn how Sima Yi survived the Three Kingdoms."
This, hearing Zheng Yiqian say this, Liu Jun didn't say anything, but closed his mouth, took the tea from the side, and began to drink tea in a proper manner.
Before he had taken two sips of tea, Zhong Lin's voice sounded outside: "Head, it's amazing." ”
Damn, he was shocked at night, and Liu Jun, who heard this, immediately threw down the teacup in his hand for a long time and looked outside: "What do you call it, it's a big night, something will come in and talk about it." ”
Oh, there was an oh outside, and then, Zhong Lin, who was wearing a military coat, picked up a telegram and walked in: "Head, Duan Qirui sent an urgent telegram from Xiangyang, Wuchang sent a telegram to Hong Kong, this is the content of the telegram." ”
Boom....... Hearing this, Liu Jun immediately put down the tea in his hand and looked at it, and then slapped the telegram and said to Zheng Yiqian beside him: "A telegram from the British advisory group to Nathan, the Governor of Hong Kong. ”
Zheng Yiqian hadn't read the content of the telegram yet, and when Liu Jun said this, she quickly took the telegram from Liu Jun's hand and looked at it.
It is clearly written.
Call two divisions today, whether to supplement them again. In addition, ammunition is empty, and delivery is requested.
A few big words clearly tell the current situation in Wuchang.
"It seems that the British have not transported many weapons in the past, you see, at present, the end side has newly expanded the strength of two divisions, but the British advisory group does not seem to be able to come up with so many weapons to equip him, this should be a telegram to Hong Kong asking for assistance." After looking at it a few times, Zheng Yiqian said softly.
Liu Jun also saw this, but now, what Liu Jun thinks about is where those weapons were transported from somewhere, could they be from Yunnan, but where Yunnan is not handed over to India, it is with Vietnam, and it cannot be said that France is in the way.
"Head, I've already checked the matter, the British weapons, a total of 50,000 guns and 50 guns, half a year ago, they began to transport to the Wuchang area, at that time, our focus was on the Dongzhou area, all the British took advantage of the loopholes, from India and Hong Kong and the Far East Fleet where to draw guns, and then arrived by sea to Vietnam, and then by land into Hunan, in Hubei."
Nima, the journey is very difficult, hearing Zhong Lin's explanation, Liu Jun, who picked up the telegram, looked at it and suddenly thought of it.
"Could it be that the British are going to meddle in Hubei a long time ago. It took so long to start transporting weapons to Hubei. Zheng Yiqian on the side opened her mouth wide and roared.
For Zheng Yiqian's exclamation, Liu Jun looked at it, and then shook his head slightly, this is not the case.
Since the imperial court was beaten to the southwest region by itself, the imperial court has been affected by one of the world, almost all countries in the world, have begun to establish relations with themselves, however, as the world hegemon Britain and his little brother France, once they unify the country, then France's Vietnam, it is estimated that it may be eaten by itself at any time, and at the same time, Britain is also worried that its own India will have problems, so soon after the imperial court entered Chengdu, Britain began to unite with France and began to pull and pull with the imperial court, that is, Now the equipment of the imperial court, in addition to the equipment of the United Kingdom, also has the equipment of France, and the rest is the equipment of Germany at the beginning, but now Germany has completely severed relations with the imperial court and is with Liu Jun with peace of mind.
"Head, when Britain established relations with the imperial court, it is estimated that it was more or less meaningful." Although he was saying this, Zhong Lin on the side still expressed his opinion.
After looking down and thinking for a while, Liu Jun put the telegram aside, and then said to Zheng Yiqian and Zhong Lin beside him: "For the time being, it doesn't matter when the British started to meddle in the Hubei region, the problem we have to deal with now is not what he used to do, but what Nathan, the Governor of Hong Kong, will do now." ”
This is to the point, until now, the Hong Kong side is the dominant layer, no matter what, the governor of Hong Kong will send this news to London, and how London will deal with this problem, it will be drawn to the pattern of the Far East.
"Then what should we do now, do you want to order Duan Qirui to strike first." Zhong Lin, who took a deep breath, listened to Liu Jun's words, and immediately took a step forward and asked.
It's easy to say, fight, it's not the time to fight, Liu Jun, who heard this, shook his head slightly, he knew that it was not okay to do this, but if he didn't make any action, if the British side really gave support to the Hubei region again, this was not something he wanted to see.
