Neutral, Adam has decided that this time Liaodong and Qing will go to war, and the empire will not help either side. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"If you go and ask the French side, I hope they can maintain a rational view in this war in the Far East, and not lose a big one because of a small one." Adam, who had finished thinking, said to Churchill.

Churchill already knew from Adam's mouth what the empire would take, and after nodding slightly, Churchill stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and generate electricity immediately." ”

Palace of Versailles, Paris. Lube looked silently at the drizzle outside the window. In the same way, in his hand, there was a telegram, which was sent from Frank.

It has already been mentioned above that Liaodong has waged a battle against the imperial court.

Lube didn't have any opinions, and he was able to hold this position completely by relying on his own mouth.

From the telegram from Frank, Lubet had been thinking that this time, France would look at the matter a little better, and he had no big ambitions, just wanted to be in his term. To keep Vietnam, if Liaodong does not attack south after taking the southwest, he is willing to remain neutral, but so far, Liaodong has not been notified at all, which makes Lubé very difficult.

"Your Excellency, the British Admiralty Secretary has sent a telegram." A secretary walked in and handed a telegram to Lubé.

With restraint, it seems that the British side is neutral. Lube, who had read the telegraph, took a deep breath and said to the secretary in front of him, "Send electricity to Vietnam." ”

In the Governor's Palace of French Vietnam, Frank stood by the window, looking at the telegraph room in the distance in a daze,

Since the last time he privately transferred troops into Liangshan and did not report it to Paris, Frank did not dare to hide anything, and reported truthfully, from the fact that he received that the Liaodong Army had started a war against the Qing State, Frank sent a telegram to Paris as soon as possible, asking if it was necessary to increase troops to the border to prevent war personnel from entering Vietnam.

Now, almost a day has passed since the telegram was sent, and the telegram above has still not arrived.

There was no telegram on it, and Frank did not dare to act rashly, so he could only let the French 3rd Brigade, which had already assembled in Hanoi, wait for orders.

"Your Excellency the Doge, Paris has called." Johnson walked in and handed Frank a telegram that he heard about a call from Paris, and Frank immediately took it, and it was clearly only a few words.

Stand by in place.

What does this mean, neutrality is not neutrality. A war is not a war, stay put, this will lose the combat opportunity, looking at the telegram in front of him, Frank had an anger in his heart that could not be expressed.

"What do you think about this?" Frank, who put down the telegram, asked Johnson next to him.

Johnson lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Your Excellency the Governor, it is estimated that Paris intends to be neutral in this matter. ”

Neutrality, there should be such a meaning, otherwise they would not have ordered themselves to stand by in place, but even if they were on standby, Liaodong would not attack in the future. I don't know any of this.

"Give the order, let all troops be unguarded." Since Paris had put itself in place, there was no need for it to put its troops on alert in this way.

In the Renshou Hall of the Summer Palace, Liu Junzheng looked at the two telegrams in front of him, these two telegrams were delivered by Zhong Lin two hours ago, one was a telegram sent by Britain to Hong Kong and India, and the other was a telegram sent by Paris to Vietnam.

After comparing the telegram again, Liu Jun got up from his chair and said, "It seems that Britain and France are courting us this time?" ”

"Head, it looks like this," Zhong Lin said after nodding.

On the surface, this is the case, but from the content of this telegram, there is no neutral word, and there is no information transmitted from Hong Kong and Vietnam, which makes it difficult for Liu Jun to make a decision.

"In my opinion, in order to be able to reassure these two countries, a diplomatic conference can be issued, clearly pointing out that we are sending a war of reunification against the Qing State this time, and I hope that all countries will not think too much about it." Zheng Yiqian, who was on the side, waited until the two finished speaking, and then added.

That's a good thing to say. If a diplomatic conference is convened, it means that I am fighting the imperial court and have nothing to do with you, and there is no difference between what you were before and how you are now.

"Go back and go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ask them to figure out this matter." Liu Jun, who pointed at Zhong Lin, added again after speaking: "Pay close attention to the situation in Hong Kong and India. ”

"Understood," Zhong Lin nodded in response, then picked up the orders and documents that had been recorded, and walked out of the Renshou Palace.

"What is the attitude of the German side now?" Liu Jun, who lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and asked Zheng Yiqian in front of him.

Germany's attitude, Zheng Yiqian, who heard this, was a little stunned, she didn't understand what Liu Jun meant by this.

When Germany was doing things in Liaodong, it was not a strong support, and even this time, as soon as Liaodong began to start a war, Germany stood up to support it.

"They were very supportive of our actions. Zheng Yiqian said after thinking for a while.

In the tank? Hearing this, Liu Junnian wondered, in this case, how could the Germans support their actions, they should oppose it.

"What, what's wrong?" Seeing Liu Jun frowning after hearing his words, Zheng Yiqian stepped forward and asked.

Of course, there is a problem, since Germany is now implementing a big plan with itself, that is, a plan in which Germany and Liaodong are in an ice period, then Germany should not support it at this time, on the contrary, it should also make stumbling blocks in it, such as helping the imperial court, giving assistance, and so on.

What Germany thinks.

"If there's a problem, you can inform Clint later and ask him to come in the evening." Liu Jun, who thought about it for a while, said.

"What went wrong, could it be that Germany should not have supported us at all this time?" Zheng Yiqian thought of something, and asked after taking a step forward.

"Yes, it is true that Germany cannot give us support this time, on the contrary, they will support the imperial court, so that I will have the opportunity to walk with Britain and France, so that Britain and France can adjust their defense in Asia, and concentrate their forces on the German side, so that I can give Britain and France a major attack at that time, so that they will lose Asia at once." At the same time, he can also help Germany and make Britain and France a mess, how can such a good thing be destroyed because of this thing. (To be continued.) )
