"Gentlemen, how about we talk about Northeast China?" Qin Lang accentuated his tone and repeated his request. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Out of the corner of his eye, Ben. Strauz and Shibagoro were already in the groove, their ears pricked up, ready to capture every word they might hear next, and record them in their entirety. It was also at this time that Vasilyevsky finally realized his purpose.

Northeast China! The Chief of Staff was well aware that by the time he and Lynivich set off for Dagu, the Russian Empire's military forces in the Far East had been ordered by St. Petersburg and were gradually massing up to take advantage of the present opportunity to make a full-scale invasion of the northeastern region of China, to occupy it before Britain and Japan could react, to create a fait accompli, and then to force the Chinese government to cede this land.

It was a top-secret military operation - despite the fact that it was always difficult to keep a large military build-up completely secret, much less to avoid British and Japanese spies, and it was easy to judge the intentions of this army...... But it's also clearly not something to talk about openly.

And in front of a British Army colonel and a Japanese army colonel!

Vasilyevsky glanced cautiously at Ben. Strauz and Shibagoro. Just as he was worried, they had developed a strong interest in Qin Lang's suggestion, and from now on, every word talked about here would be deeply recorded in their brains. The situation is getting troublesome.

"Commander!" He called out in a low voice, diverting Limnivic's attention away from his anger at Qin Lang, "We can't let Qin Lang mention the matter of Northeast China. ”

"How?" Linivich was so enchanted by his anger that he failed to remember that important top-secret military operation or see the situation clearly.

Fortunately, he had a qualified chief of staff.

"Military operations of the Far Eastern Forces." Vasilyev explained, "I don't know how Qin Lang knew about it, but he apparently already knew about it, and he saw it as a threat to us. Commander, if the British and the Japanese find out about our intentions now, they may ......"

"Hell!" Linivich shouted. Vasilyevsky's warning made him nervous. If the military operations of the Far Eastern Army are really because of Qin Lang's ...... Wait a minute.

"Are you sure he knows?" "Perhaps, he is just blackmailing us," he asked. ”

"We can't take any chances, Commander." The chief of staff reminded, "And, according to legend, either he has magical prediction abilities, or he has a vast and stealthy intelligence network, but it is certain that Qin Lang knows a lot about what is going to happen." Commander, I don't think that our military operations can escape his attention. ”

"Damn American Yellow Monkey!" Linivich cursed.

"We must stop him from divulging secrets, Commander."

"I know. But it took some skill, and he had already caught the attention of the British and Japanese. Li Nivic first glanced at the two colonels, then turned his face sideways, looked at Qin Lang, and thought about it for a while. Then he turned to face him and put on a serious expression.

"I don't think there's anything to talk about in Northeast China, General." "Yes, something happened in Blagoveshchensk, but it was the territory of the Russian Empire, and the actions taken by the local police and garrisons were only to clear the armed elements against the Reich, and not, as you might have heard, a massacre against civilians." ”

Qin Lang's face still maintained the smile just now. As he expected, Linivich had fallen into his trap, and with a little more pressure, the general would have to accept his demands.

"Really?" "Perhaps, diplomats and journalists from various countries should be invited to form a fact-finding mission and go there for an inspection," he said calmly. ”

"There is no need to do this, General. And Blagoveshchensk was the territory of the Russian Empire. Linivich emphasized.

"But the deceased were Chinese nationals." Qin Lang also emphasized.

"China is at war with the Russian Empire!"

"This makes it all the more necessary to investigate. At the very least, the U.S. government and people are very concerned about whether there is a humanitarian catastrophe and genocide in this war. He leaned forward, "It would be a great pity if such a thing really existed." Perhaps," he threatened, "in the face of public pressure, American shipbuilding enterprises will be forced to cancel the shipbuilding contract with the Russian Imperial Admiralty." ”

"Humanitarian catastrophe", "genocidal acts", Lynivich didn't know what it meant, but he knew what Qin Lang's threat meant. In order to counter the Japanese Navy, the Admiralty developed a vast shipbuilding program, and an integral part of this plan, which was closely watched by His Majesty the Emperor, was to build a cruiser and a battleship in the United States. Obviously, if the plan goes bankrupt as a result of American protests against the massacre of Chinese by the Russian army, which is very likely to happen given the character of the Americans, the generals in the Far East will be out of luck.

For him, though, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Perhaps he could have survived the catastrophe and be lucky enough to get a surprise promotion as his superiors were demoted or dismissed. Of course, it is also possible that since the cause of the matter is only the contradiction between him and Qin Lang, he will pay a greater price.

It's hard to predict what's going to happen, for better or for worse, and it might be worth betting on for gamblers.

Of course, no matter what, Qin Lang got a good card. However, at the moment when he realized that he might reveal the secrets of the Russian army, Linivich was already ready to compromise, so the good cards he got didn't really mean anything, just provided a barely qualified step.

"There is no need to send an investigative team, General Qin. I can assure you that in Blagoveshchensk, there was no genocide or, uh...... Humanitarian catastrophe. He said solemnly, then pulling the conversation back to what seemed to have gone off-topic, "Of course, if you think about it, I will restrain my soldiers and make sure that they do not commit any kind of criminal activity in the city of Beijing." ”

He meant that his soldiers would not commit crimes in the city of Beijing—but only in the city of Beijing, and in the villages outside the city, and in the cities further afield, of course, he would never give any guarantees.

If Qin Lang still wanted to meddle in those areas, then he would have to send his already stretched army to those places. However, in that case, he would not be able to maintain order in the city of Beijing.

Li Nivich believed that as a smart businessman, Qin Lang would not do such a thing.

Qin Lang really wouldn't do something like that—he didn't have the energy...... Or interest in doing anything beyond his control, or even just caring about them. Now, now that Lynivich has assured that his soldiers will not commit crimes in the city of Beijing, his goal has been successfully achieved...... But that's only half of it. As for the remaining half. He turned his attention to Ben in the corner of his eye. Strauz and Shibagoro.

I hope they can understand what he means correctly.

Qin Lang stood up, said goodbye to the two generals and the two colonels, and then left the room. Then Linivich and Vasilyevsky also departed - the two generals were anxious to warn the Far Eastern Army, that the Americans were aware of the military operation that was about to begin, that everyone should be careful to keep it secret and to guard against British and Japanese spies - leaving the two colonels looking at each other.

"What do you think Qin Lang means, Colonel Strauz?" Finally, Shibagoro posed his question and guessed, "Northeast China?" I don't think what he really wants to point out is the Blagoveshchensk massacre. As a threat, it may not carry enough weight. ”

"Yes, Colonel." Root. Strauz looked pensive, "This thing is very strange. Lynivić's attitude changed too quickly, and we still don't know what his chief of staff said to him after Qin Lang mentioned Northeast China for the second time......"

"Maybe we should remind the country that it's better to send spies to the Sino-Russian border to check what's going on there." Shibagoro suggested.

"Nope." Root. "We should immediately warn us that Russia is about to send troops to invade northeastern China and prepare to occupy it," Strauz said. ”

Most likely, there is no time left for the spies.

At about the same moment, the Russians, the British, and the Japanese sprang into action, sending messengers to Tientsin, which was the only way they could send telegrams to their own country. Qin Lang looked at the little chaos he had created with joy, and secretly guessed when a full-scale conflict between Russia and Japan would break out.

Of course, the war between Russia and Japan was an inevitable and irrevocable outcome, and everything was just a meaningless, time-related issue. However, Qin Lang was still looking forward to this war. As he had done any time before, he had some plans in place.

He likes to do this kind of thing, make all sorts of plans, put them into action, and watch them succeed. And he can always succeed, again and again, never fail, never need to worry and be nervous.

When a plan is implemented, all he needs to do is be patient.

Qin Lang laughed, and then cast his gaze on the other side, his other plan. The Germans, they are rushing to China, but he has already prepared a trap for them.
