Chapter 430: Concocted Strategy
Diplomatic conflicts and struggles, deception and anti-deception will definitely not be so simple, but the core of it is so much, in the end, after Luo Yang assured the security of the established treaty between Britain and France, they also changed their attitude,
"In my lifetime, if I take the initiative to change these treaties against the wishes of my friends in England and France, the messengers of human civilization, I will be tormented by my own conscience and will go to hell." Luo Yang patted his chest and said,
This is a show, Luo Yang is an atheist, he doesn't believe in bird feathers, he believes that the two ministers of Britain and France, from the standpoint of diplomats, will not be so naΓ―ve, anyway, in the era of colonialism, the upper elite also talked rationally and elegantly with boots made of human skin of other races, thinking that under normal circumstances, Luo Yang certainly knew the nature of their religion,
Diplomacy is deception and anti-deception, struggle and counter-struggle, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance,
If you are going to be deceived, it can only mean that your IQ level has nothing to do with your moral quality level.
Anyway, after a series of diplomatic activities, Britain and France not only appreciated the attitude of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom towards Russia, but also instigated it, intentionally or unintentionally, hoping that the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom would be more assertive in the future border negotiations and exploration.
The attitude of the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom towards Russia is getting tougher day by day, but the confession with Britain and France is that they hope that they will not be bullied by Russia in the future demarcation of the northwest region.
In their exchanges, Luo Yang and Zhang Zhidong repeatedly mentioned Russia's powerful naval fleet, and bluntly admitted that the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom was not Russia's opponent, because the special warfare operation and the tactics of fighting the sea by land were only secret, and they would not work after being used once, and although the Huaxia Army had the American fleet, the navy of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom could not match Russia in terms of the maintenance and use of warships and the quality of officers and men.
On the one hand, he opened his teeth and claws, and on the other hand, he secretly told the core stakeholders that he was indeed not the opponent of the enemy, exposing the foundation of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom government.
Of course, Russia will not fail to notice the behavior of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, and through various channels, it immediately knew the intentions of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom, and suddenly, it became tougher, in fact, even if the government of the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom does not take a tough stance, it is impossible for Russia to change the image of a tough guy.
At this time, there was some new phenomenon, some of the princes and ministers who originally belonged to the Manchu Qing Dynasty escaped, and threw themselves into Russia, and in Petersburg, they cried to the Tsar, asking for troops to attack the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom: "Destroy this rebellion, and save my Qing monarchs and ministers and the people of Li from hanging upside down." "There were also people who secretly approached the retinue of the Russian minister in Beijing and told them that they hated the Chinese Heavenly Kingdom very much, and hoped that they could cooperate with the outside and overthrow it.
Someone also submitted a letter to the Russian minister in the name of Prince Gong, and the Russians found through various channels that the handwriting of the letter was indeed Prince Gong.
These, of course, were intentional by Luo Yang, and there were indeed some officials of the former Qing Dynasty, princes, and Russian diplomats, who had a lot to do with each other.
Only the most core Zhang Suimou and others knew Luo Yang's strategic intentions, and the rest of the people didn't know, but Prince Gong was quite cooperative with Luo Yang, he only knew that Luo Yang was provoking, and wrote a letter according to the order, what he was most afraid of was that Luo Yang turned his face and didn't recognize people, and took the opportunity to get rid of him, in Luo Yang assured that this was the intention of the British, and when he deliberately stimulated the Russians, Prince Gong wrote a letter, and later, he immediately said that he was sick at home, and he never dared to come out again, and he was involved in right and wrong.
In fact, Luo Yang also learned about Britain's intentions through channels, which was basically consistent with his imagination, Britain and France, on the other hand, encouraged Russia.
In any case, after more than two months of deliberation, Luo Yang finally provoked the deterioration of relations with Russia, and originally said that he would negotiate cautiously to solve the problem of the northwest border.
The Luoyang government orchestrated the "scandal" of three Manchu officials fleeing to Russia, and then demanded that the Russian government immediately extradite the three and hand them over to the Chinese government, but Russia naturally refused.
Luo Yang immediately summoned the British minister Pashali and pleaded with the British government to support him, because of the great friendship between the two countries, etc., and because Russia was about to attack China in an all-out way.
"Impossible." The British gloated, and on the surface they were still sympathetic,
"Probably, because the Russian tsar has already sent instructions to embassies abroad." Luo Yang said with certainty,
"How do you know?" Pasha was very surprised, he really didn't know about this place, and the intelligence retrieval ability of the British was also average,
"Some people came out of the Russian embassy and were followed and arrested by our military police, and these people hired for the Russian embassy were some of their spies, and some of our people." Luo Yang became nervous and said: "They peeked at the plans of the Russians, saying that the tsar had officially mobilized the army to use troops against our country, and moreover, they also used a large number of naval fleets. β
"It doesn't matter, with China's current military strength, it should be able to defeat Russia." The British openly encouraged,
"No, Russia is much stronger than the United States." Luo Yang took out Napoleon from the Russian Marshal Kutuzov with partisans, emphasized the strength of Russia, and longed for Britain to support China: "If we can really confront Russia, wouldn't it be very beneficial to the British Empire." β
The British minister said that he could only support China verbally and morally, and that the government would never send troops.
"Isn't the Crimean War an example for the British government to work with France to support Turkey and curb Russian ambitions?" Luo Yang seems to be unwilling,
"Nope." Pashali decisively refused, however, encouraging Luo Yang, believing that even if the Huaxia Tian** team could not defeat Russia, it could completely guarantee the security of the country.
After Luo Yang summoned Pa Xia Li three times, he was completely desperate: "Then, should your government hand over all the ships built to us, and we should quickly build a naval fleet." β
The British minister was surprised: "Isn't the American fleet you captured very large, and after nearly two years, you still haven't formed a combat effectiveness?" β
Luo Yang said that indeed, the navy is not fun, and at that time, in the battle, most of the ships were blown up, and only three cruisers could barely be used, so the capture was waste.
"Okay, I'm urging my government to deliver it to you soon." Pashali said happily,
Luo Yang breathed a long sigh of relief,
Concocted Russia's strategic plan for war and created tensions, Luo Yang finally realized the opportunity to bring back all the ships that Britain had built for himself.
Although the British did not make a difference, for a period of time, the British government openly discussed whether the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom would threaten Britain if it ordered so many naval warships, Luo Yang was worried that they would not deliver the warships at that time, in that case, the Huaxia Heavenly Kingdom would pay a huge amount of money and waste it in vain.
