Yuan Shikai was very curious about the reason why Wang Bin said that he traded arms to Japan and Russia.

"My lord, in the opinion of the Ministry of Employment, this sale of arms to Japan and Russia has the following benefits."

Wang Bin began to tell Yuan Shikai the reason for the arms deal.

"First, Japan and Russia will inevitably fight a special war for the sake of their interests in Liaodong, and the war situation so far also shows this, and it is precisely this that the post can make a huge profit from selling arms."

The expansion of the war will inevitably lead to a wave of arms trading frenzy, so at the beginning of the war, the arms dealer is often the most profitable, of course, provided that someone buys arms from you.

After Wang Bin finished saying the first point, Yuan Shikai just nodded and didn't say anything more.

Then Wang Bin went on to say the second point

"Second, the white-hot Russo-Japanese War is also destined to be the tragedy of the war, but the logistics supply lines of both sides are a long one, so even if the war is white-hot, but because the logistics supply cannot keep up with the war losses of both sides, it will be in the ability to bear it, so the second purpose of the Ministry of Duty to sell arms to Japan and Russia is here."

After Wang Bin finished saying the second point, when he was about to say the next point, Yuan Shikai suddenly spoke.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be able to think of these things that even the official hadn't thought of, which really surprised the official."

Yuan Shikai's words carried some praise for Wang Bin, what Yuan Shikai didn't expect was that this Wang Bin was able to say such a truth from a small arms deal, and more importantly, these truths are indeed very reasonable.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shikai continued on the second point that Wang Bin said before: "The logistics supply of both sides is sufficient, and there is no need to consider the problem of ammunition supply, especially in this white-hot situation of war, I am afraid that the Japanese and Russian sides who are red-eyed do not pay much attention to the problem of casualties, so I don't know how much strength the two countries will consume in this war!" ”

Yuan Shikai's words were with a hint of amazement, he had never considered from the perspective of logistics before, what kind of loss would be caused by sufficient logistics supplies to the war, after Yuan Shikai was ordered by Wang Bin today, Yuan Shikai suddenly felt that selling arms to Japan and Russia was a good choice.

Not only can you earn a war money, but the most important point is that it can greatly allow both sides to consume their national strength in the battle, this method is the first time Yuan Shikai has heard of it.

Then Yuan Shikai looked at Wang Bin and said: "I always thought that Youde you just had some ability on top of military training, but I didn't expect that even on this analysis, Youde you can achieve three points, which really makes the old man a little impressed." ”

After listening to Yuan Shikai's praise, Wang Bin didn't show any excitement, but said slowly: "The Ministry of Duties is so proud of the adults that it has today's achievements, and the adults are really a little ashamed to say this. ”

Wang Bin's words are so modest, but who knows what Wang Bin was thinking in his heart while saying this?

No matter what Wang Bin is thinking now, at least Yuan Shikai's impression of Wang Bin has improved to a new level, and Wang Bin's pampered and unfazed look will inevitably have some achievements in the future.

After raising his impression of Wang Bin, Yuan Shikai said again: "Youde, as far as you can see, both Japan and Russia have wolf ambitions, I don't know what you think of such a situation?" ”

Even though Yuan Shikai knew that this war in Liaodong was nominally good-looking, and the Japanese had no choice but to go to war with Tsarist Russia for the sake of the Qing court's interests in Liaodong, but in fact, Yuan Shikai also knew that this was just an excuse, and the real purpose of the Japanese was to replace the interests of Tsarist Russia in Liaodong, but even if he knew, what could he do?

Yuan Shikai has been thinking about which side to help since the beginning of the war, and in the end, in Yuan Shikai's opinion, Tsarist Russia is the most dangerous, so he privately ordered to give the Japanese some necessary convenience during the war.

But now that Yuan Shikai listened to Wang Bin's opinion, he had an additional method in front of him: that is, both parties helped and sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight.

When the two tigers were fighting, how could they notice what the Qing court on their side would think! After all, in their eyes, the Qing court was just a piece of fat, so how could they have the idea of rebellion!

Regarding Yuan Shikai's problem, Wang Bin has already thought of a way to deal with it, and in fact, as long as Yuan Shikai is given some time to think, he will find a solution, but Yuan Shikai doesn't have so much time to think, but Wang Bin can think early according to his own future battle situation.

"My lord, in the opinion of the Ministry of Employment, everyone wants to take a bite of the big cake of the Far East, and for now, the Ministry of Duties believes that the Germans and Americans will definitely be interested in getting a piece of the pie in the Far East."

Wang Bin's remark first stated that some countries in the Far East are eager to obtain some benefits, and then Wang Bin added: "It is precisely because of the appeal for interests that Germany and the United States are the targets that we can win over in the eyes of the Ministry of Labor, especially after the end of the war, we can also put forward some favorable conditions for both Japan and Russia according to the results of the war." ”

This sentence speaks of the benefits that can be obtained by one's own side after the end of the war, and the countries that can now be united, to put it bluntly, it is actually a policy of combining vertical and horizontal.

Although Yuan Shikai has already considered this alliance, and the countries and Wang Bin have also taken into account it, Germany and the United States also have interests in the Far East, because interests will lead to unity, and in this case, it is a good choice to unite with the Qing court, as for how Yuan Shikai will unite with Germany and the United States, this can only depend on how Yuan Shikai will do it.

As soon as Wang Bin's words were finished, Yuan Shikai said with some curiosity: "Yes, the official has also taken this into account, as for how to reach an alliance with the Germans and the Americans, the official is still considering, but the official is a little curious about obtaining some benefits from the negotiations after the war. ”

Yuan Shikai had already considered the matter of the alliance, but for the topic of Wang Bin's proposal to gain benefits after the end of the war, it really whetted Yuan Shikai's appetite, you must know that anyone who has such an opportunity to gain benefits will let the opportunity leave in vain.

Especially this opportunity to allow him to get back some things that originally belonged to the Qing court, once he becomes afraid, Yuan Shikai's own reputation in the country will not know how much he will increase.

At this moment, Yuan Shikai had already left behind the question of asking Wang Bin why he provided arms to both Japan and Russia, and now the rhythm of the night conversation began to be gradually grasped by Wang Bin's unconscious words.
