The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Liaodong now works at the Yamen, the prime minister of the former imperial court. www.biquge.info The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a huge department, and the ordinary room is not suitable for working with him at all, so Liu Jun let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs enter the Prime Minister's Yamen, and the military department is all concentrated in the former Ministry of War, and as for government affairs, all of them enter the household department.

After the failure of negotiations with the imperial court, Wu Tingfang, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, no longer had any role in Baoji. The day after the attack on the imperial court, Wu Tingfang left Baoji and returned to Beijing to preside over diplomatic work, and Baoji left Li Hongzhang and his son behind. It can be regarded as guarding Shaanxi.

"Report, Minister, here comes the British Minister Jim." A staff member dressed in Hanfu walked in and said.

came, hearing this, Wu Tingfang smiled without showing a look, he had already received the news from the Summer Palace. How to deal with it.

"Let him in." Wu Tingfang, who was silent, thought about it for a while and said.

Summer palace. In the pavilion of Kunming Lake, Liu Junzheng looked at the invitation sent by Wu Tingfang, and saw that the British had really spent a lot of money this time.

"What do you mean?" Liu Jun, who put down the documents, asked, Zheng Yiqian, Zhong Lin, and Wu Tingfang, who were sitting in front of him.

"Marshal, our purpose this time was originally to create contradictions with Germany, and then make peace with Britain, I think this kind of opportunity, I can do it." Wu Tingfang said after laughing.

Yes, this idea is in line with his own meaning, Liu Jun, who was sitting on the top of the gazebo, thought of this, stood up and said: "You tell the British minister that we will visit Britain, and in addition, send a telegram to Li He and ask him to leave Germany as soon as possible." “

"Cipher sending or is it?" Zhong Lin on the side asked after recording the order.

Nonsense, if it is sent in plaintext, then how excited the British.

"Cipher." Liu Jun, who glared at Zhong Lin, said.

understood, being glared at by Liu Jun like this, Zhong Lin immediately ran out in a gloomy manner.

"Okay, now let's wait for Li He to lead the fleet to set off, remember, once Li He leads the fleet to set off, we will immediately protest, of course, the rest of the matter, I think you should know how to do it?"

Of course, I know that what will be followed is to announce the severance of relations with Germany, and then enter a cold period, which will continue until the situation in Europe is restored when the situation in Europe is in turmoil.

"Yes." Zheng Yiqian and Wu Tingfang laughed. Signal to understand what this means.

Germany, where the High Seas Fleet is stationed. The warship of the Beiyang Naval Division was quietly docked on the dock, and Li He, who was wearing a military uniform, was looking at Yi? The direction of the sinking of the number in a daze.

"What, still thinking about it? Number? Yan Fu, who came out of the command tower, asked after a smile.

It's a little bit of a thought, how to say it, it's also a battleship, and the Beiyang Navy Division has always relied on Yi? and Hongzhang to rank in the forefront of the world's navies, but now, Yi? sunk. The combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Naval Division will not be restored in a few years, and this is always a bit dissatisfying.

"Yes, but this time our loss is worth it." Li He, who sighed, turned his head to look at Yan Fu and asked again, "Is it the handsome?" ”

"Come on, let's implement the third step plan immediately."

The third step was to lead the Beiyang Naval Division to leave Germany and visit England, and then leave Europe and return to Guangdong.

Thinking of this, Li He looked at Yan Fu in front of him and then asked, "Does William know about this?" ”

Wilhelm was the only person in the upper echelons of Germany who knew the truth of this matter, and there were no more than fifteen people in the whole of Germany who knew about this large-scale plan, and this was entirely because of the needs of the plan. People know too much, it's easy to leak, agree, even in Liaodong, there are only twenty people who know about it. In addition to Liu Jun, under him are Li Hongzhang, Zhong Lin, Zheng Yiqian, Ding Ruchang, Wu Tingfang, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, Li He.

"Just received the order, and William has not been notified yet." Yan Fu thought for a while and said.

There was no notice, just right, I was going to say goodbye to him, and by the way, I also told William about it, thinking of this, Li He took a deep breath and said to Yan Fu beside him: "Inform William, I will visit in a while." ”

"Understood." Yan Fu nodded, turned around and went down to convey the order.

Command of the High Seas Fleet of the German Navy. William, who had just taken over as commander of the High Seas Fleet, was standing alone in front of the window, looking at the figure of the High Seas Fleet in the distance.

Over the years, Germany's navy has grown by leaps and bounds, and it has a certain relationship with Liaodong, if it weren't for Liaodong's help, Germany would not have had a chance to fight with Britain now, but for these, William will not be satisfied, his mind has been sunk? number attracted.

Abundant? Although it has been launched for so many years, I have to admit that it is still a first-class ship in the whole world, and Britain cannot build it, but now, Germany will have such a powerful battleship in the near future. At that time, he will increase Germany's naval strength on the sea, and by that time, when a dozen battleships appear on the sea, the British home fleet will be beaten to the ground.

"Report, Commander of the Liaodong Navy, Commander of the Beiyang Fleet, Li He asked to see him." An orderly walked in and said to William, who was standing in front of the window.

Hearing that it was Li He, William immediately stretched out his hand and signaled for a quick please.

William's ability in the navy is not comparable to ordinary people, once when Liu Jun was in Lushun, he had the intention of assassinating this person, but seeing that a person like William was needed to drag down the British fleet, Liu Jun left this person's life behind, otherwise. I'm afraid it was back three years ago. William had already gone to see God.

"Li, you're finally here, Congyi? After the sinking of the ship, there was less communication between us. Seeing Li He walking in, William stepped forward and said.

Li He smiled, and then said, "It's not for the sake of the heart-digging plan to be successfully realized. ”

Yes, the two laughed, now Germany and Liaodong are all working around this heart-digging plan, not to mention the Yi of the Beiyang Naval Division? If necessary, Germany and Liaodong will fight on the Japanese side to increase the realism of this kind of thing. But it doesn't seem like the state has yet reached that point.

There is no need for Germany and Liaodong to go too far, after all, Britain and France are now relatively trusting Liaodong, which is correct. (To be continued.) )
