As soon as Li Zhen spoke, everyone's spirits lifted, and their eyes converged on Li Zhen's body.

Liu Jintang said impatiently: "President, what is the idea?" You say! ”

"That's right, the president, say it quickly, I'm dying!"

Lu Shaochuan urged again and again, this is a major matter related to whether he can continue to fight.

Li Zhenxiao said: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the treaties formulated by Britain, France, the United States, Russia, Italy and other eight countries are not perfect, and there are many loopholes. Broadly speaking, the treaties drawn up by the eight nations are aimed at us and bind our military. However, after careful analysis, is the treaty drawn up by the eight countries really binding on us? There aren't many constraints! ”

"Take Vietnam, for example, which used to be our vassal state, and now there are princesses and princes of the Nguyen dynasty in Vietnam who have come to ask for help. With this prerequisite, we have a sense and can justifiably go south. Considering the face of the eight countries, it is more reliable to send a small number of troops there. ”

Li Zhen continued: "Let's talk about Burma, India and other regions, these places controlled by Britain, France and other countries, have their troops really withdrawn? The answer is no, this is the loophole of the treaty. It stipulated that China was not allowed to send troops, but the British and French troops were still there. As soon as it happens in Burma, India, etc., the British and French armies cannot be suppressed, they will have to increase their troops, and we have an excuse. Besides, we can't come openly, and there are hidden tricks to support the local strength of India, Myanmar and other places. When the time comes, there will be a good show to watch. Just because you don't send troops doesn't mean you can't do things. ”

"The president is wise!"

Lu Shaochuan smiled, looking very excited.

Li Zhen continued: "Having said that, with our current national strength, it is really very difficult to start a war. In the past, we only occupied a corner of the land, and there were not many people in charge, and we also had money. However, as the country grows bigger, more and more people have to be managed, and the most important problem at hand is the problem of food, clothing, and shelter. ”

His gaze turned, fell on Zeng Guofan's body, and said, "Brother Bohan, all this depends on your efforts!" ”

Zeng Guofan said solemnly: "Do your best, and then die!" ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "I don't have to worry about domestic affairs to you." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhen's eyes suddenly became calm, and he said coldly: "Although the treaty formulated by the eight countries this time does not have much impact on us, we can even use the treaty formulated by the eight countries to make a fuss in the future and change the treaty into our help." But now, since someone wants to set a trap against us, we can't make him feel better. Ye Chengxin, wait for about nine o'clock in the evening, you go and ask the US Minister Ma Hui, and I will talk to him alone to see who is targeting us. ”

"Okay!" Ye Cheng sincerely agreed.

"President, I still have political affairs to deal with, farewell!" Zeng Guofan had already eaten about the same, and the envoys of various countries had already left the official residence of the general government, so there was no need for him to continue to stay.

Li Zhen said: "Brother Bohan pays attention to his body, which is the capital for the benefit of the people. ”

Zeng Guofan nodded and turned to leave.

Immediately afterward, the rest of the people offered to leave.

After a short time, the presidential palace was empty, and the attendants in the official residence began to clean up.

At half past nine in the evening, Ma Hui came to Li Zhen's presidential residence. In the study, after Ma Hui sat down, he asked, "I don't know what happened to *** looking for me late at night?" ”

Li Zhen asked, "Mr. Ma Hui, how is Mr. Lincoln, who came to China last time?" ”

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't get to the point, Ma Hui didn't show the slightest anxious expression, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lincoln is actively active in preparing for the next election. Although Mr. Lincoln has been defeated many times, he has not given up, which is admirable. ”

Li Zhen said: "I am very optimistic about Mr. Lincoln, this is a thoughtful, intelligent and capable man. ”

Ma Hui was slightly surprised in his heart, the people who could be valued by Li Zhen were not ordinary people!

When you go back, take a good look at it!

Ma Hui made a decision in his heart, but his face was not shocked, and he said unhurriedly: "In the past, I left Shanghai and returned to the United States, and I have been separated from Mr. President for many years. At that time, Mr. President was not a big official, but only the parent official in charge of one party. Unexpectedly, after many years, Mr. President has established a new country and is in charge of the world, which is really gratifying. ”

Li Zhen said: "It's over!" ”

Immediately, Li Zhen said: "This time, I invited Mr. Ma Hui to come because I wanted to know some things about the allies. Which country initiated the treaty signed by nine countries, including China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France? ”

Ma Hui was stunned for a moment, and his brain turned quickly.

After a moment, Ma Hui said heartily: "This time, the formulation of the alliance treaty was initiated by the United Kingdom. ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "Understood!" ”

Li Zhen sneered in his heart, thinking that the British had set up a plan to deal with him, which was tolerable or unbearable. When the things at hand are done, we must clean up the UK. This empire on which the sun never sets, must make him a sunset empire.

Ma Hui smiled and guessed Li Zhen's intentions, Li Zhen is not a master who is willing to suffer, this time he is designed, he will definitely not be reconciled. For this reason, when Li Zhen asked, Ma Hui almost without thinking about the initiator behind the scenes. Anyway, Li Zhen and Britain are fighting, which is what Ma Hui is willing to see, and Ma Hui also hopes that Li Zhen and Britain will fight as hard as possible, which will be more beneficial to the United States.

Ma Hui thought so in his heart, but he didn't say so, he said solemnly: "***, Britain initiated the formulation of the treaty, but also for the sake of peace of the people, please understand." ”

"I understand!"

Li Zhenpi replied with a smile, extremely solemn.

Ma Hui arched his hand and said: "Since there is nothing else to do, I will leave!" ”

"Please!" Li Zhen said.

Ma Hui got up to say goodbye and quickly left the presidential palace.

The next day, the envoys of the eight countries formally paid a visit to Li Zhen, and then signed the "Nine-Power Treaty" with Li Zhen. According to the British envoy Gobard mentioned last night, the treaty stipulates that countries cannot arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and they are not allowed to send troops to attack at will. If any country violates this agreement, it will be condemned and attacked by the rest of the country.

Gobard, Stopcilin, Ma Hui and the others were all smiling and looking happy.

This campaign was sent to complete the task very easily.

At noon, Li Zhen invited envoys from various countries to a banquet at the presidential palace, and there were no more disputes at the meeting, and they talked very happily. In the afternoon, the envoys of various countries said goodbye and left Beijing together, preparing to land at the port of Tianjin. Ye Cheng came to the presidential palace, met Li Zhen, and said: "President, Princess Lele can't wait, I want to ask you to send troops south to help the Ruan family restore the country." ”

Li Zhen frowned, waved his hand and said, "You go and invite Ruan Lele and Ruan Mingde to come, I'll tell them!" ”

"Yes!"

Ye Cheng nodded heartily and immediately went to invite Ruan Lele and Ruan Mingde.
