Chapter 226: Tough Diplomacy
The occupation of Shanghai made the Huaxia Army achieve major strategic interests, and also had a huge impact, the acquisition of equipment from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and the acquisition of some talents, Luo Yan was ecstatic, and those technicians, ordinary workers, were valued and appointed in panic, and they were also extremely happy, as a port for trade import and export in Central China, the occupation of Shanghai meant that it blocked a channel for the Manchu government to import a large number of weapons and ammunition from overseas, and it was a fatal blow to the Hunan army that was in a rampant attack.
In Shanghai's arsenal, the Huaxia Army has made a lot of gains, more than 100 newly imported foreign guns, more than 3,000 foreign guns, a large number of gunpowder bullets, etc., just got off the ship, brand new and bright, all have become the Huaxia Army, this leak picked up in vain, too cool,
There is also an impact, three successive small-scale battles, the speed victory of the Huaxia Army, once again proves that the current weapons and equipment of the Huaxia Army, especially the artillery, although there is no new breakthrough, but, because of different forms, still achieved a major comparative advantage, with overwhelming, noisy for a while, shocking the foreign gun team at home and abroad, extinguished at the touch of a button, proving the strength of the Huaxia Army.
It's a pity that there are also things, for example, since then, the Huaxia Army has officially entered the hostile category of the great powers, and has become the target of their intrigues and tricks day and night.
The British consul in Shanghai has been arrested by the Huaxia Army, but unfortunately not in Shanghai, but in the battle of Damiao Yugou in the south of Xuzhou, he has been asking to see the leader of the Huaxia Army, and also wrote a letter through the officers and soldiers, and transferred it to Luo Yang, because it involves the particularity of foreigners, Luo Yang did see the letter,
"Fuck it, ignore him." Luo Yang stepped on the letter to the ground and stepped on it several times,
Having become a prisoner of war, Mr. Bidger was still demanding that the Huaxia Army release him and protect British interests in Shanghai, and that all reasons in China should not be violated, "otherwise, if any diplomatic conflict or even military conflict arises, the responsibility lies with you." ”
Someone suggested that Biedge be released, now is a special period, we must pay attention to strategy, first aim at the Manchu Qing, and then deal with foreign devils when we have time, but Luo Yang refused,
"If Western countries can respect China's territorial sovereignty and integrity, the Chinese nation will be extremely welcome, but if they dare to violate the bottom line of the feelings of the Chinese people and the core of their political and military interests, they will certainly be dealt a heavy blow."
"On the issue of foreign affairs, this king will definitely not have any weakness and concessions, we Chinese have endured enough, and in the future, it is time for the great powers to endure."
Luo Yang is bluntly tough on the principles of international exchanges in the future.
was sneering here, teasing Bidger's letter, and someone came to report: "King Rui, the British Maozi has asked to see him." ”
"British hair."
"Well, the beard is terrible big, the hair is pitifully curly, the red-haired people are ghostly, they show their teeth and claws, and they can't understand what they say."
"Yes, please."
The British came in, three people, one of whom looked like a polite gentleman, wearing a high black top hat, a suit, a bow tie, a white sleeve in his hand, and a civilized stick, and he was very angry.
On the left, there is a British ** official, with high boots, full body uniform, very powerful, on the right, it is a god man, pay attention, it is a Western god Han, covering his head and covering his face, black robe, very mysterious, priest,
Luo Yang politely let him into the room, please sit down, etc., and used a few words of English to welcome, which surprised the three Englishmen.
"Hello, lord." The gentleman uses Chinese, but the Shanghai accent is too strong, so Luo Yang can't stand the birds,
After talking for a while, the gentleman at the head was the British consular assistant in Shanghai, and the officer was an officer stationed in Shanghai, and they asked Luo Yang to quickly release their consul.
"Hehe, Mr. Yang, this is your fault, your broken consul, ask us what we want." Luo Yang Yin and Yang asked strangely,
"Lord of the bandits, lord, you should know......" the assistant said menacingly,
"Know your mother's head, I bought a watch last year." Luo Yang is angry,
"Hmm." The British assistant is quite aggrieved,
"Lord, may I ask, why are you scolding?" The officer was inflamed,
Luo Yang thought he was inflamed, because, his eyes were red, hahaha,
That god is also inexplicable,
"Who's a bandit, what the fuck are you?"
"This."
"Come on, this guy insults this king, according to the rules, immediately cut off his tongue and send it to the tiger cave to feed the tiger." Luo Yang roared,
"Yes." The Huaxia officers and soldiers on the side immediately stepped forward, twisted the guy, and dragged him away.
"Spare your life, spare your life." The British consular assistant hurriedly shouted, and even the officer hurriedly begged, "Lord, please forgive me, he made a slip of the tongue." ”
The British consular assistant was frightened, he found out, what kind of guy is in front of him, why is he so fierce, he is not afraid of the British Empire at all, I am the second Austrian, I am simply stunned,
Under their repeated explanations, Luo Yang decided to give in and forgive them this time: "If you have the intention of insulting this king or contempt this army, then the three of you will be treated as enemies of this army." ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Then, immediately apologize to this king."
"I'm sorry."
"Insincere."
"Ahh
"In our Chinese way."
"This."
China's way is to kowtow,
As soon as the British consular assistant understood, he immediately refused, and the other two also objected, Luo Yang did not answer, turned around and left.
"Lord Wang, you can't go, you can't go." The three of them hurriedly pleaded,
Don't go your head, Luo Yang looked back at them, ignored them, and went out by himself,
The three guys were about to go out to chase and were intercepted by a dozen guards,
"Since your prince refuses to receive us, please let us go."
"This won't work."
"Ahh
"Because our prince didn't give an order, you can only stay here."
"Well, when can we go?"
"That depends on what the prince means."
In this way, Luo Yang went to busy with his own affairs, mainly to return to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, and continue to guide those technicians.
"Lord Wang, do you think that you can really make bullets with integrated ammunition."
"Yes, my lord, you said that there is a kind of mortar that is light and powerful, but we have never seen it."
Luo Yang encouraged everyone to study hard, mainly from the actual equipment capabilities to tap the potential, and, for the new smokeless gunpowder, also specific guidance, he wrote a lot of text descriptions, drew a lot of diagrams, and gave data, as well as a lot of gunpowder ratio, raw materials or something, as a former artilleryman, for these military common sense, is still very clear,
"Oh,
"Lord Wang, you are really a fairy, you know so much."
"Go, what immortals, I just want to tell you that if you develop weapons according to my method, as long as you come out, our Huaxia Legion will be invincible within ten years."
After being busy for a long time, Luo Yang returned to the old place and asked the three Britons to leave immediately.
"But, lord, we still have something."
"Say."
"Please release our consul." The British told Luo Yang that they already knew the news that Bidge had been captured on the battlefield with Li Hongzhang.
"Your ears are pointy."
"No, we're wired."
It turned out that the British transmitted the news through the cable telegraph, which made Luo Yang suddenly realize, no wonder, his army rushed to Shanghai quickly, but was waited for by the Qing army.
