Chapter 179: Reaction of States
The high-ranking officials in the U.S. presidential palace had not yet left to discuss the impact of Hu Lin on the Qing state after he became the consul general of the Qing state, so as to determine the future U.S. policy toward the Qing state. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Makqin had left in a hurry, and he had to hurry back to devote himself to the improvement of the Makqin anti-aircraft machine gun, and it was not so easy to improve and deliver 500 units in two months, and there was no more time to delay.
At the same time, various countries also convened their own high-ranking officials to discuss the arrival of the Qing Dynasty with telegrams.
Buckingham Palace in the west of Westminster, England, the palace is magnificent, the golden decoration of the outer fence is majestic and solemn, the smoke is shining, and the relief of the heavy iron gate and the palace create a majestic momentum.
In the palace, a majestic old woman glanced at the hall full of high-ranking officials and counts. This old woman was Queen Alexandrina Victoria.
"Prime Minister Salisbury, we were defeated in our Qing country, and Hu Lin, the leader of the Pingshan army, was made the chief consul and minister, what impact will it have on our interests in the Qing country in the future."
Although Victoria is old, her slightly loose words reveal iron-blooded domineering, which makes all the high-ranking officials present listen to it.
"Something is hard to determine, Your Majesty; The Pingshan Army suddenly appeared to participate in the war, and we know too little about him, and we knew before that he was a regimental training meeting in Guangxi Province of the Qing Dynasty, that is, a small militia leader. There were a lot of peculiarities in his place, and he had close ties with Germany. ”
It is the Prime Minister who is in charge of political affairs, so Salisbury was the first to be mentioned, and those who can sit in this position will have a more unique view of the situation.
Salisbury quickly thought about the information he had obtained, and after evaluating the various telegrams from the Qing Kingdom, he still could not make an exact estimate.
In the face of such a big event, in the face of a person like Victoria, hasty will certainly not be a mistake that Salisbury will make, and he can only wait for more information to help him make a decision.
"Oh? The strange thing is the plane that can fly on the newspaper, and the car that is bigger than us? ”
Victoria was a little surprised, she didn't expect that there was still a Qing country Pingshan in her supplies, she was very surprised. The face full of wrinkles also showed a hint of brilliance.
Salisbury saw that Victoria was very interested in this, and quickly explained. "Not only these, but also the ones you used for washing, and the ones that Hulin had people sell. There should be something we don't know where he is, it's heavily guarded and our people can't get in, and you have to have someone with a shiny card to get in. ”
I only heard about these things in the stalls of the Qing Kingdom, and I didn't have much idea of going to Guangxi, especially the small place of Pingshan. At this time, the focus was on the provocation of the Qing Cixi and how to infiltrate the Yunnan side, etc.
Where are there redundant people to cover the Qing country to investigate, not to mention that they can't get in there, whether this is a dereliction of duty or not, it has to be explained.
"I didn't expect that, Salisburybeth, I want you to investigate him quickly."
Surprised, Victoria shifted and leaned back in a comfortable position. Since the Pingshan Army came out out of nowhere, it's normal not to pay attention, as long as you quickly find out later.
"Someone was sent a few days ago, and there will be no news yet. Your Majesty the Queen rest assured, I will do it as soon as possible, the Qing State sealed the Commander-in-Chief of Hulin, Qincha, this person is more tough and may be ...... later. ”
“......”
British Prime Minister Salisbury, the earls and senior officials present were analyzing the situation in the Qing Kingdom, and this sudden change in the situation made everyone a little relieved.
In the German Empire, Berlin, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Chancellor von Bilo, Admiral Tirpitz and others were also discussing the matter of Hulin's canonization.
I am afraid that there is no other country that knows Hulin the most, except for the German Empire.
When Hulin first arrived, he got in touch with the German Hansen, and through Hansen's cousin, he got into the arms business with Germany.
Not only did he sell a large number of guns, machinery and equipment, but also exchanged second-hand warships for battleship drawings to the British, and he received a lot of gains from Hulin, as well as a loan of 5 million marks to Hulin.
It can be said that on the surface, Hulin's Pingshan Army was supported by Germany itself, but as a result, the muzzle of the gun turned to his head.
Naturally, I didn't expect that a small local force in Guangxi Province in the Qing Dynasty would be able to intervene in the upcoming war. But compared to Germany and Hulin's Pingshan Army, there was no right or wrong, only a different position.
Kaiser Wilhelm and the chancellor and senior officials of the army have been discussing for a long time, but no result has yet been reached.
However, most of them are biased towards Hu Lin, and Hu Lin is equivalent to the forces he supports, and he is closer to himself than other countries, and his influence in the Qing State will increase a lot in the future.
At this time, Germany was eager to participate in the partition of the colonies, and interests were the goal pursued by all countries. With the advent of Hulin, the economic colonization of the Qing State seemed to be easier to penetrate.
"Your Majesty William, Hu Lin is an open-minded person, and he has understood it from past transactions with him, so the change in the Qing Kingdom is a little loss for us, but the opportunity is greater, if Hu Lin does not change his attitude towards us, then he can influence the Qing State policy, which is very beneficial to us."
Chancellor von Bilo did not think about the losses in the war, but rather about the benefits that the rise of Hulin would bring to Germany.
"It is true that we should strengthen our support for Hu Lin, we have only been in contact with him for a long time and have obtained precious battleship blueprints, and there will be more in the future, which will be a great boost to the strength of our army. Besides, His Majesty Wilhelm still has a situation, the drawings of the high-speed cannon have not yet been delivered to us, and if we are opposed to him at this time, I am afraid that our transaction will be changed. ”
Tirpitz was afraid that Wilhelm II would remember Hulin's hatred, and that some officials present would not be able to lose face in the defeat, and wanted to treat him strongly.
These worries are too important for the army, and if something happens, then seeing that the rapid increase in military strength will inevitably be greatly reduced, and what can be obtained is definitely not lost if it is aborted for something that does not affect the overall situation.
Wilhelm II also had a bottom in his heart, how much benefit Hulin could bring him, how could he not understand, he didn't speak and just wanted to give a buffer to those officials who wanted to be tough on Hulin.
"In this way, Feng Biluo, you go to Qingguo, talk to that Hu Lin, we will try to support you if you need anything, and you will also pick out more from him in terms of benefits."
When the officials saw that Wilhelm II had set the tone, they did not say more. After all, there are benefits in front of them, and everyone knows in their hearts how much benefit this Hu Lin, who is already the Qing Commander-in-Chief, will bring to Germany.
It's not good for me to give him a little face, and besides, it depends on how much benefit Hulin can give in exchange for Germany's support.
President of the French Empire, François. Lou Petain and Prime Minister René. Waldecker-Rousseau and other high-ranking officials argued fiercely.
The kings of Italy were Humbult I and Emmanuel III, and the prime ministers were Luigi. Pelaux, Giu Sepe. Serako and others are also analyzing the changes that Hu Lin brought to the Qing Kingdom, and how they stand.
Spanish Regent Christina, Prime Minister Antonio. Connovas and other high-ranking officials are discussing.
Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, Prime Minister Brzesius and others are also discussing.
Tsar Nicholas II of Russia was furious.
Emperor Joseph I of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Prime Minister Ernest. Feng. Kebel, who had received word from an informant in the German Reich, wanted to establish some special relationship with Hulin through Germany. (To be continued.) )
