Stewang could fully understand the meaning of Wang Hengyue's words, and he nodded slightly: "In my opinion, the most lacking thing in China is orators, and what is most lacking is doers. But Rong County is so small, you need a bigger environment. ”

"The bigger picture?" Wang Hengyue smiled: "What is the bigger environment?" Is Chengdu big? Is Sichuan big? But that's not where I can get my hands dirty. I need munitions, but they don't give me money; I need soldiers, but I can only recruit them on my own; I need an arsenal, but it's a dream for me right now. ”

"So, you have to be in a position to achieve that." Stewang raised the wine glass in his hand and touched it lightly with Wang Hengyue: "You have seen the consuls of various countries, but now, including me, they will not give you any substantive help, because your official is too small." However, one day in the future, when you sit in a certain position, then we will take the initiative to consider the possible surname of your cooperation without even you opening your mouth. ”

Wang Hengyue silently took a sip of wine, and Sputan was telling the truth.

A lowly official, the consuls may talk to you out of politeness, but they will never help you. Unless you can be a strong one.

The only advantage I have now is that I know these consuls through Kleiman, and maybe this is a good platform

"Sichuan Admiral Ma Weiqi and Ma Junmen have arrived!"

With the sound of voices, Ma Weiqi and his granddaughter Ma Yunxin walked in together.

It was a respected official, and consuls from all over the world walked up to shake hands with him. Zhao Erxun then also came over and talked to Ma Weiqi.

Wang Hengyue was not qualified to step forward, and stood there boredly for a while, but saw Ma Weiqi walking towards him, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Ma Junmen." ”

"Wang Hengyue, Wang Shuzhi!" Ma Weiqi didn't have Zhao Erxun's frame at all, and when he saw Wang Hengyue, he looked interested, and pointed to his granddaughter: "Yesterday they came back and told me about you, I had some complaints at the time, such a young hero, why don't you invite you to your house as a guest?" Later, I learned that you were going to come to the party, and I was going to meet you anyway. ”

"The military gate is falsely praised, Hengyue just succeeded by luck so many times."

"It's not a fluke, it's not a fluke." Ma Weiqi smiled and waved his hand. I was about to talk to him in detail, but the drinking party began.

Kleiman stood in the middle and gave a speech, which was nothing more than saying that the office of Fan Lixi Company in Chengdu was officially upgraded to Chengdu Branch from now on.

After a quarter of an hour of talking, it was over, and there was applause all around, and after a while, the dance music sounded, and the foreigners walked onto the dance floor in twos and threes. As soon as Pete heard the dance music, he was very interested, and invited a foreign woman from the neighborhood to come on the dance floor as well.

"What kind of body is cuddling and hugging." Ma Weiqi frowned.

Ma Weiqi used to be an official in Guangdong, an open place, and when he saw it at this time, he was still displeased. Ma Yunxin quietly asked, "Officer Wang, do you know how to dance?" ”

"Where can I dance?" Wang Hengyue rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly.

Ma Yunxin was very strange: "Officer Wang, I heard that you came back from the United States and haven't you learned to dance?" ”

"There are many shameless foreigners, men and women hug, bare-chested and bare-shouldered, and cannot be edified." Ma Weiqi heard his granddaughter's words and was disdainful: "Although Shuzhi has lived overseas for a long time, after all, I am a Chinese citizen, how can I learn those things from foreigners?" ”

Ma Yunxin stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to argue with her grandfather openly.

Ma Weiqi then asked: "Shu Zhi has been overseas for a long time, dare to ask Shu Zhi, if the war between the imperial court and Yangyi resumes, what are the odds of victory?" ”

This is too much to promote Wang Hengyue, Ma Weiqi is a dignified commander, but he discussed this matter with a small team of officers.

Wang Hengyue was also not mentally prepared, and thought about it for a long time: "There is no chance of winning." ”

"No odds?" Ma Weiqi couldn't imagine that Wang Hengyue would say this: "I also fought with the French, but that's it." Moreover, the imperial court now attaches so much importance to the new army, buys a large number of weapons, hires foreign instructors, and all provinces are thriving, so why is there no chance of winning? ”

"We may win one or two battles locally, but we will definitely lose on the whole." Wang Hengyue did not hide his thoughts in his heart: "Fighting a war is not about how many new troops there are, it is about fighting an overall national strength, my country's national strength is not as good as others, and the imperial court knows this military gate in his heart." Although there has been a great improvement in the armed forces and new armies have been organized and trained in various localities, we are making progress, and other countries are also making progress, and the pace is greater than ours. ”

"Don't talk about the court." Ma Weiqi sighed: "You have lived abroad for a long time, and I think you have also come into contact with the ideas of many revolutionary parties, do you also think that only the revolutionary party can save the overall situation?" ”

"Neither can the revolutionaries!"

Wang Hengyue's words surprised Ma Weiqi. Wang Hengyue said lightly: "The revolutionary party also instigated an uprising, and that also instigated an uprising, but it did not have any regular military force in its hands, it was nothing more than instigating young students and sympathizers in the new army. Even if they can get lucky in the future, but the big people everywhere have their own plans, how can they listen to them? ”

Ma Weiqi listened and nodded slightly: "What about Sun Wen?" This person heard that there is a lot of trouble now. ”

"Sun Wen?" Wang Hengyue pursed his lips: "He is a typical representative of not having military power in his hands." ”

Ma Weiqi smiled and said, "Then what should my country do in your opinion?" ”

"This is not something that Hengyue can say." Although Wang Hengyue had a stomach for words in his heart, it was too appalling to say it in front of a Manchu official.

was talking there, and suddenly saw Zhao Erxun's attaché hurriedly come in, holding a telegram in his hand, and whispered a few words in Zhao Erxun's ear. I was in a hurry, stumbled and almost fell. Hurry to your feet and move faster.

When Ma Weiqi stepped aside, Wang Hengyue especially noticed that Ma Weiqi's complexion also changed suddenly, and old tears flowed down.

Wang Hengyue was overjoyed in his heart, just looking at the expressions of these two people, and then counting the time, he couldn't understand what was going on. In order to wait for this day, I can be regarded as doing enough articles!

Zhao Erxun and Ma Weiqi cried for a while, and walked to Kleiman, only to see Kleiman stunned, and hurriedly asked the band to stop.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but they saw Zhao Erxun crying bitterly, old tears, and his voice trembled:

"I, the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, Yan is gone!"
