Chapter 350: Why Retreat
The progress of the military industrial enterprise made Luo Yang very happy, and immediately decided on a new trend.
"Our army immediately prepared to go north to Youyan and overthrow the corrupt Manchu regime." A military conference was quickly convened to determine the new strategy, and he also spoke specifically about the relationship between the new weapons and future wars and resistance to foreign interference: "The king assures us that our army can effectively defeat any foreign intervention. ”
There is no need to keep it secret, anyway, these high-ranking generals do not need to be blinded, he is serious and responsible for explaining, the new weapons that are already in the process of development, etc., their power, and the impact on the entire military strategy and tactics.
Everyone listened very carefully and looked at each other, feeling incredulous at such a terrible weapon change,
"As King Rui said, if those weapons can really be applied, then our army can be invincible in the world." Huang Wenjin, a former general of the Taiping Army, said,
"Yes, in the past, it has always been foreigners who threaten our army with foreign cannons and foreign guns, so that our army can't raise its head, to defeat them, we must use tactics and carry out sneak attacks, now, if our army has such a sharp weapon, then all kinds of demons, red hairy people from the west, are not our army's opponents, our army can cross the north and south of the river, and sweep away all the remnants of the enemy." Chen Kunshu, a former general of the Taiping Army, said,
There are doubts, after all, the strategy of going north to destroy the Qing Dynasty is too important, and everyone has to question many issues, and it is also a military problem and a political and strategic problem that needs to be solved by the Northern Expedition, so it is necessary to study and solve it.
The meeting lasted for two days, basically solved the problems, and determined various foundations.
It's a pity that Luo Yang had to face an embarrassing and urgent question again, how to face the relationship with Britain and France,
Colonel Simon and Lieutenant Colonel David sent another note to the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom government asking for new negotiations, and Luo Yang accepted the note and gladly participated.
"King Rui, since our army wants to go north with all our strength to destroy the Manchus, then, what should we do in the face of the deterrence of the British and French soldiers." Feng Zhuhuo, as one of the most trusted generals, raised questions about Luo Yang,
"Our army naturally has to take a cautious attitude, but it will definitely not betray the country to seek glory." Luo Yang said categorically,
"Of course not, but, King Rui, if the thieves of the two countries make harsh demands at this time, how do you respond." Feng Zhuhuo is the commander of the Shanghai garrison, and the stakes are very important, and he is directly facing such an impact.
"Don't worry, this king won't give an inch."
"But."
"Okay, don't worry, things will go pretty well."
The new negotiations were held at the same place, so the representatives of the British and French armies, who were already familiar with the road and were at ease, with straight military uniforms and angry expressions, came up and threw out a tentative balloon: "Mr. Rui Wang, you are the consul of Huaxia Tian**, why are you not qualified to sign a negotiation agreement with full powers." "They are very dissatisfied with Luoyang's circumstance, address,
"Yes, this king is the head of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, but he is not a dictator, unlike the head of your country." Luo Yang sneered at each other,
Simon was slightly embarrassed and immediately changed direction: "Since we can't determine a clear agreement plan, what is the value of our negotiations." ”
Luo Yang's expression was much louder than last time, and he pinched the short beard on his lips: "This king is also suspicious, I don't know what evil goals the two governments want to achieve through negotiations." ”
"You." The words of the evil purpose shocked the officers of **** Tong, and they immediately protested,
"Isn't it a sinful purpose and a sinful act?" Luo Yang not only did not compromise and weakened, but became more intense: "Excuse me, are your troops and fleets here to save world peace when they come to our Chinese territory and waters to rampage, trample on our Chinese laws and systems, and attack our troops and civilians?" ”
"Mr. Ruiwang, please pay attention to your wording." David was a gentleman of England, "Civilized world peace and civilized nations will try to be civilized in meetings, abide by basic rules, and we are here to negotiate, not to quarrel." ”
Luo Yang smiled: "I bought a watch last year. ”
"Hmm." Two, no, the five Western devils were dumbfounded, inexplicable,
Luo Yang explained: "Is a country that sells opium drugs everywhere, an army that protects opium smuggling and imposes it on others? ”
David didn't dare to be too presumptuous anymore, and he found that this prince of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom was not only majestic in attitude, but also very knowledgeable, so he weakly argued: "Opium is a commodity that can cure diseases. ”
Luo Yang sneered: "Do you say that the British use opium to treat diseases, say, what diseases are treated." ”
"This."
Luo Yang stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the roof of the house: "Don't talk about this, may I ask, your country, which country's army is stationed, may I ask, why don't your country's troops protect their own soldiers and civilians in their own country, but run around, like thieves, like robbers." ”
"You, you, you're provoking." Simon and David were outraged: "We are here to negotiate, to resolve issues and differences, not to go beyond the norm." ”
"I did come to quarrel, and when there are armies of other countries on our soil, I have absolutely no interest or energy to pay attention to the unquestioned negotiations."
"But, Mr. Ruiwang, do you mean to announce the breakdown of the talks?" Lieutenant Colonel David exerted pressure, "The breakdown of the talks means that our military can carry out its duty to maintain peace and protect our country's diaspora as it understands it." ”
In order to strengthen the effect, Simon also said: "Our Emperor Napoleon III is peace-loving, so we are sent to negotiate, and ask us to be sincere when negotiating, because, the failure of the negotiation means war, and France's 500,000 elite army and 100,000 navy are under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, waiting for a new journey." ”
In order to tease these guys, Luo Yang deliberately shook his head, saying that he didn't understand, "Please your interpreter to speak, your Chinese is really not authentic, just like the character of your country." ”
The two guys were angry, and at this time, someone jumped out again, "Your Excellency King Rui, do you know that your provocation and rudeness will destroy an ancient empire in the coming century. ”
"You are."
"Contemptible Gordon."
"Oh, it turns out that you are the Mr. Gordon who was beaten by our army, what about your army, what about the foreign gun team, don't you fight, I really hurt you, you are so thick-skinned, the battle has reached that level, and you are embarrassed to come out to be a person again, if it were the general of our Huaxia Kingdom, you would have covered your head a long time ago, and planted your head in the toilet and died." Luo Yang laughed,
Gordon was so angry that he couldn't say a word,
Representatives of several coalition officers stood up: "We declare the breakdown of negotiations. ”
Looking at a few guys with solemn expressions and gritted teeth, Luo Yang didn't pay any attention to the worries of the generals around him, let alone the clamor of a few hairy devils: "This king announced that the people who negotiated with us today are simply unreasonable. ”
