After the Spring Festival, all departments began to officially go to work. 【】

Foreign Minister Hua Guoqiang informed the ambassador to the Chinese Empire, Wu Wenbin, asking his Yuan Shikai government to negotiate the cancellation of the reparations of the Xinchou Treaty, in order to obtain sufficient benefits for the empire; As for the total denial of all the agreements signed by the Qing court, the Xia Empire does not support it at present, otherwise it will be an enemy of all the countries in the entire Western world, and according to the consistent strategy of the Xia Empire, the enemies must be cleaned up one by one, and try not to give the enemy a chance to unite.

On the side of the General Staff, Chief of General Staff Lu Weimin also informed Chen Yifeng, Chief of General Staff of the General Staff of Qi State, in accordance with Zhang Wei's instructions, that after the occupation of Ontario, if the Canadian government does not repent, does not cede land, pays reparations, and apologizes, it will be required to quickly occupy the entire Canadian territory and completely eliminate the Canadian government; Otherwise, only occupy the territory of Ontario and the west of it, leaving a respite for the Canadian government, and wait for the right time to completely eliminate the Canadian government; Prepare them for both.

Yuan Shikai's Chinese Empire adopted a similar management model to the Xia Empire, except with the addition of a council.

The government administration model is also a reference to the model of the Xia Empire, setting up a five-level management model from the central government to the provincial government, to the municipal government, to the county government and the township government.

There are national, provincial, municipal and county assemblies.

There are also a number of committees and groups under the parliament that study specific issues or monitor the implementation of specialized departments, policies, etc.

The state-level institutions parallel to the central government are the General Staff, the Government Council, the Parliament, and the Supreme Court; The institutions under the direct control of the royal family include the Propaganda Department, the Organization Department, and the General Audit Office.

Of course, the Chinese Empire is not as wealthy as the Xia Empire's royal family, and bears all the empire's military expenses, education funds, scientific research funds and medical subsidies, and will not occasionally have a nationwide money-throwing behavior such as birth rewards like the Xia Empire's royal family, so its support rate is definitely not as high as that of the Xia Empire's royal family, and this is also one of the excuses for many people to attack Yuan Shikai's royal family.

When Yuan Shikai's army entered Beijing, he searched his house continuously, and he didn't catch any big fish, the guy with oil and water had already been arranged by Xiao Xuguang to live on the Lelang Peninsula, Yuan Shikai could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out after he knew, those people arranged by Xiao Xuguang are inextricably linked with Xiao Xuguang, you know, Xiao Xuguang is not only the governor of the Northern Theater Command of the Xia Empire, with heavy troops, but also the son-in-law of the Great Qing State; And his son-in-law Du Shihui also reminded him many times that it is best not to fight the idea of cultural relics in the palace, otherwise after the Xia Empire knows the news, it will not be merciful, whether it is true or not, because it is a witness of thousands of years of brilliant civilization of the Chinese people, and it is the common asset of the entire Chinese people.

After the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the state finances have been tight, the army has been expanded too much, the expenses are huge, and after the country has stabilized, the planning investment in railways, education, medical care, navy and other aspects is huge, and the amount of taxes withheld and diverted by the provincial governments in the south has also become larger and larger, which makes Yuan Shikai feel out of control. 【】

Especially after the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, the Xia Empire had stopped lending interest-free to Yuan Shikai's forces, which made him feel even more stretched.

Yuan Shikai thought that if all the treaties signed by the Qing court were abolished, not only would he be able to recover a large area of land, the mortgaged customs, salt taxes, etc., but also the concession and many assets in it, and more importantly, he would no longer have to repay the compensation of the "Xinchou Treaty", the government's finances would improve immediately, and he would be able to gain fame and fortune.

Therefore, Yuan Shikai deliberately convened several cabinet meetings and military meetings to discuss the abolition of all treaties signed by the Qing court, hoping that these loose-mouthed officials would leak the news to the Xia Empire to see what kind of attitude the Xia Empire had.

Yuan Shikai knew that without the full support of the Xia Empire, the Chinese Empire would not have the ability to be the enemy of the world powers for the time being, don't look at the great powers who are afraid of the Xia Empire, but they are still not afraid to deal with the Chinese Empire, so if the Xia Empire does not support this plan, then it can only be done.

But the news has been passed out for 1 month, and the Xia Empire has not reacted, and then it is the Spring Festival, after the Spring Festival, Yuan Shikai can't sit still, if it goes on like this, the government will first go bankrupt.

So he arranged for Cao Rulin, the foreign minister of the government, to go to Wu Wenbin for an interview to see what the attitude of the Xia Empire was.

Ambassador Wu Wenbin had just received a notice from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Xia Empire after the holiday, and before he could think of a countermeasure, Cao Rulin came, so he had to improvise and play on the spot.

Wu Wenbin is not a soldier and does not understand too professional and esoteric military knowledge, but he analyzed Cao Rulin from the logistical aspect: "Foreign Minister Cao, the Xia Empire and the Chinese Empire are joining forces, and they are not the opponents of the entire Western countries for the time being, let's not talk about whether our weapons and ammunition production capacity can meet the needs of the front line in a full-scale war, let's just look at the situation on the battlefield, the entire Far East, Central Asia, the Indochina Peninsula, and the Americas, Australia, the Indian Ocean, etc. are all battlefields, in terms of the current transportation situation, Does Foreign Minister Cao think that we can transport weapons, ammunition, food and other baggage to the front line? If there is no ammunition, the guns in the hands of the officers and soldiers on the front line are not as good as burning sticks, and the consequence is that they will be slaughtered or retreated, and more land will be lost. “

Cao Rulin thought about it for a while, the entire Far East, and the three eastern provinces are better, and parts of Outer Mongolia and Inner Mongolia can only rely on manpower to transport supplies, not to mention the new ** Xinjiang side, the distance is even more far, that is, the Russian Empire hit Gansu and Qinghai, and it is difficult for the Chinese Empire to ensure logistical supplies, and the American side is also a severe test for the Xia Empire.

As a result, Cao Rulin had no choice but to answer truthfully: "If a full-scale war breaks out with the entire Western country, it will be difficult for us to ensure logistical supply." “

Wu Wenbin said with a smile: "The General Staff of the Xia Empire has already done many simulated exercises, and knows the difficulty of logistics and supply, so the Xia Empire has always fought local wars, and every time it is good, it will accept it when it is good, immediately organize negotiations, and get benefits as the principle, and never take the initiative to expand the scale of the war." “

Cao Rulin agreed with Wu Wenbin's words very much, so he had to go back and report to Yuan Shikai truthfully.

Yuan Shikai is not as easy to fool as Cao Rulin, so Cao Rulin retold Wu Wenbin's words in their original form.

Yuan Shikai was very angry after hearing this, and Xu Shichang and the others present also understood that the Xia Empire wanted benefits, and the Xia Empire would not do things that did not make cheap or get benefits.

Yuan Shikai had no choice but to arrange for Xu Shichang to come forward to talk to Wu Wenbin, but if it didn't work, he would have to discuss with his son-in-law Du Shihui when the time came.

In Yuan Shikai's heart, he was scolding his mother, and after the Xia Empire put him on the throne, he didn't care, did he want to fend for himself? Can't a good person do it to the end, help the horse, and give it another ride?

What's even more infuriating is that Wang Yingkai's 10 mixed associations quickly withdrew to the peninsula after Feng Guozhang arrived south of the Yangtze River, and Feng Guozhang became more and more disobedient after expanding the troops, and even privately withheld the taxes of the southern provinces to pay the salaries of the troops before the year, which made Yuan Shikai even more angry.
