At the British Consulate in Shanghai, Chen Dingtian and Ali Guo had a face-to-face conversation, apparently discussing this solution. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info especially now in the face of the Manchu Dynasty, so it is really difficult for them to have a way to solve it. Especially now that they are facing these situations, they are also very troublesome. Even now that they are not directly open to you, they intend to do it through unconventional means, which is the most troublesome.

"Mr. Chen, in fact, I also feel very troubled about this. Although this is in the concession, it is not completely safe. Because although this is a concession, although your Chinese government does not have the power to enforce the law here, it is only an open law enforcement agency, and if it is those secret spies, it is difficult for us to identify. Especially for those spies, then we are also a headache. Especially since this is your China after all, and there are Chinese everywhere in your China, and we Westerners look at you Chinese, all of them seem to be the same, and we simply cannot identify which people are spies and which are ordinary people. So, we're all very embarrassed! If they go through the normal channels, I can still deal with it. Even if they just want to capture you alive, then we still have a chance to intervene. But we're afraid that they just kill you, don't capture you alive, that's the trouble. When the time comes, you are killed by them, and when the time comes, they will pass the buck to some so-called murderers, and find a random murderer to come out and confess. And compensate that some money, so that we can only suffer a dumb loss. Mr. Chen, to put it mildly, it is impossible for us in the British Empire to go to war with China for you, you should understand. I can only help you within my purview, but if your Chinese government comes to conspire, then it will be difficult for us to resist! Ali Guo said.

Chen Dingtian also began to have headaches, and the British didn't have any good solutions. Especially now, although it is a concession, after all, it is the territory of the Chinese, and the British are beyond the reach of the whip. Especially in the future, it is impossible for the British to start a war with China for Chen Dingnaive, this is inevitable. If the Manchu Qing Dynasty casually sent some secret assassin killers to kill Chen Dingtian, this would be troublesome. What Ali Guo said is also good, if you want to capture it alive, there will naturally be a chance. But if the Manchus want to die and don't want to live, that is the most troublesome, and it will be difficult for Ali Guo to come forward at that time.

When the time comes, the Manchu Qing will compensate for some silver and shirk it to a certain condemned prisoner, so that everything will be resolved, and Ali Guo will only be able to suffer such a dumb loss. So, this is the most troublesome, and if you don't solve these, that's the most headache.

"Mr. Aliko, do you have any good ideas?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Ah Liguo thought for a moment and said, "Since you have come to China and follow the customs of the locals, I will also say it according to the habits in the dramas you Chinese!" I have three strategies, the upper, middle and lower, and the upper policy is what you Chinese call the 36 plans. Anyway, with your ability, where can you go to mix well? If you simply leave China and go to Europe, our British Empire will very much welcome high-level talents like you to join, and your conditions will not be worse than here, but will be countless times better than here. So you went to our UK, so what else can you Chinese government do? Do you really want to chase us to England to chase and kill? ”

After hearing this strategy, Chen Dingtian still hesitated and said: "I don't think it has reached this point yet, so what about the middle policy?" ”

Chen Dingtian will not go to Europe casually unless he has to. Although Chen Dingtian knew that he would definitely be able to mix in when he went to Europe, he would inevitably have to do things for foreign governments at that time, so would he be suspected of indirectly helping foreign countries invade China? Especially in the next few decades, it will reach the peak of foreign invasion of China, will there be a suspicion of being a traitor? If so, he will not go to Europe unless he has to.

Ali Guo saw Chen Dingtian hesitate, and he didn't know why Chen Dingtian refused to go to Europe. You must know that Chen Dingtian is not the kind of person who doesn't know about Europe, Chen Dingtian seems to know the situation in Europe very well, and he won't be uncomfortable just because he went to Europe, but why didn't he go in this way? However, since Chen Dingtian was unwilling, Ah Liguo also said the middle way.

"As for the middle strategy, that is when you move, where we Europeans gather. When the time comes, we Europeans will be full of Westerners here, and you will be the only one with an Oriental face. Once you have an oriental face coming in, it is easy to spot, so you can be kept as safe as possible. However, this is not actually safe. Because the spy personnel of various countries have some unique skills, who knows if they have any means to hide so many pairs of eyes from us Westerners. I don't dare to guarantee that you in the East have any means to avoid the eyes of so many of us, and you have all kinds of means in various dramas. I don't know if it's true, so although this is as safe as possible, it is not very safe, and it is far from leaving China. ”

Chen Dingtian listened to this, and it was indeed not very safe. Although in a group of Westerners, those Manchu Oriental agents may not be easy to blend in, after all, there are some Oriental faces in a group of Westerners, and they must be very careful, these Manchu agents are easy to expose. Of course, this is only relative, not very safe. Ali Guo is right, the spy personnel of various countries have their own unique skills, and Ali Guo does not know what special skills the Chinese Manchu spy personnel have, and this is the dilemma. In case the Manchu agents used some tricks that Westerners didn't understand, it would be troublesome.

"What's next?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Ali Guo also said, "The next policy, that is, I will contact some of our marines and ask them to protect you." This can greatly deter these people in the Chinese government, but it is not without its shortcomings. Although I sent naval personnel to protect you, I actually have no authority to transfer troops for a long time in this navy. I was only able to request their assistance as a consul. The duration of this assistance cannot be too long, maybe ten days is already a long time. So at that time, the navy will only be able to protect you for ten days, but once the ten days have passed, then we may not be able to continue to send troops to protect you. In this way, you will only solve the danger temporarily, but you will not be able to solve the problem completely. ”

Chen Dingtian also felt a huge pressure, according to the theory, the best policy is actually the best, but if you want to go to the UK, when the time comes, to serve the British government, when the British invade China, then Chen Dingtian is really Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror - not a person inside and outside. Although he did not like the Manchus, it did not mean that he was willing to help the foreigners invade. If it was an internal rebellion, Chen Dingtian wouldn't mind helping them. But helping foreigners to fight the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not the same, so this Chen Dingtian is very tired and unwilling to choose.

As for the middle strategy and the bottom strategy, in fact, it is not a good way. Zhongce looks safer, but who knows what means the Manchu spies will have, which is a headache, and it is impossible to predict what means the other party will use, so it is very passive, and you can only see the moves.

The so-called only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, so see the move, it is very passive, and if Chen Dingtian is not careful, he will have to move his head.

As for the last option, although Aleli was able to get some British naval personnel to protect himself. However, Ali Guo did not have the right to transfer troops after all, so he could only let a small number of British soldiers cooperate, and the time would not exceed half a month. In this way, he is troublesome, and within ten days, perhaps the Manchus are afraid of the influence of the British soldiers, and they dare not take direct action casually. However, ten days later, in case the British soldiers were forced to go back at that time, the Manchu Qing would be even more unscrupulous. So that's definitely not going to work.

"It seems that there is no good way, and it will definitely not work like this! If I can hold on for a year or two, even if it is only one and a half years, it will be enough, and after a year and a half, I can wait for the opportunity and be completely safe. A year and a half, as long as I persist for a year and a half, the Manchus can't take care of me at all! Chen Dingtian whispered.

Chen Dingtian thought that as long as he persisted for about a year and a half, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would be in full swing at that time, and it would be impossible for the Manchus to have the energy to continue to come to him at that time. So stick to it for a year and a half, so that you are basically completely safe. It's a pity that the biggest trouble at the moment is how to hold on for a year and a half, and this is the home of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Don't look at this as a concession, but it is also the home of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, people can play how they want, and they can only passively see the moves, so this is very passive.

"Mr. Chen, I'm all I say, what do you want, you can decide for yourself! In fact, according to me, there is actually nothing to stay here in China, so it is better to hurry to our British Empire proper. When the time comes, I'll write a letter of introduction, and I think that our British Empire will very much welcome people like you. With the Truman family taking proper care, you will not only be able to officially join us as a citizen of the British Empire, but you may even be able to get a good position in the government. Even if you don't want to go into the government, even if you work as a freelance writer yourself, you can make a lot of money. ”

"We, the British Empire, have just passed a law on the protection of copyright in works, and we can't just pirate, piracy will inevitably be punished. And you China, you China don't even have patents, let alone copyright protection? During this time, the books you wrote were pirated everywhere, and you didn't get a penny. I look at it and feel sorry for you, why don't you go to our British Empire, with your talent, even if you don't join the government department, being a freelance writer is very promising. And, in our UK, writers are very respected. Back then, our Shakespeare could have been a great playwright. But in your China, those who write novels are called 'stinky old nine', and they are not valued at all. So, in our British Empire, that's where you can show your talents! Ali Guo continued.

Chen Dingtian still shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to go to the UK yet, I don't think it's come to this point yet, I still don't want to go!" ”

Ali Guo really feels that Chen Dingtian is too "stubborn", but Chen Dingtian is unwilling to go, so it is impossible for Ah Liguo to tie him up, the twisted melon is not sweet, especially when people come to Cao Ying's heart in Han, that is troublesome. The more talented you are, the more you can't use it, otherwise people will kill you and make you suffer a bigger loss.

"And what are you going to do?" Ali Guo has no choice.

However, just when neither of them had anything to do, Chen Dingtian's female secretary Fu Shanxiang spoke.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure that as long as you stick to it for a year or two, or even a year and a half, you can be completely safe?" Fu Shanxiang asked.

Chen Dingtian replied: "Yes, for about a year and a half, the Manchu Qing should not have the heart to deal with me!" ”

"Oh? That's it! I have a way, although I may not be able to keep Mr. Chen safe for a lifetime, but to ensure Mr. Chen's safety within a year or two, that is still possible. We can give the Manchu Qing a hard time, so that he will be severely shocked once, so that they may not dare to continue to do anything to Mr. Chen for a year or two. So you can basically be safe for a year or two, but only for a year or two. If three or four years pass, then I can't guarantee that the Manchus will not attack you. Because my idea can only be intimidating, but it cannot be a permanent solution. Fu Shanxiang said.

Chen Dingtian immediately asked, "What way?" To be able to deter the Manchu Qing Dynasty from not daring to do anything to me within a year or two, it's already possible! A year or two, two years later, I can guarantee that the Manchus will not have time to deal with me. ”

One or two years is enough, as long as you keep yourself safe within a year or two, then it's not a big problem. Two years later, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had reached its peak, and at that time, the Manchus were in a hurry, how could they have time to find their own bad luck? Next, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will fall into more than ten years of ****, and they will not have time to find their own bad luck as a literati.

However, Fu Shanxiang actually has a way, this woman still seems to be very capable.

"Mr. Chen, in fact, you only need to combine the middle strategy and the lower strategy a little, so that it can have a very good effect!" Fu Shanxiang said with a smile.

"The combination of the middle strategy and the lower policy, is there any way to say this?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Fu Shanxiang smiled mysteriously, obviously not saying anything. And after a while, Fu Shanxiang said his idea in front of Chen Dingtian and Ali Guo, and this idea made both men feel powerful.

"Okay, it's amazing, you really deserve to be Zhuge Liang in the middle of the girl! Mr. Aliko, do you think it is feasible to follow this method? Chen Dingtian praised.

Ali Guo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and contact our navy right away, and ask him to send some marines over to assist!" ”
