When Lin Shenhe walked into the study, Liu Xuexun was fiddling with a special "anaconda" pistol. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt had a delicately carved and gilded barrel, and a pistol handle made of ivory, which he was sure it was. The Big Viper Company will not sell pistols with pearl handles to high-ranking customers, because Qin Lang once said, "Only pimped pistols with pearl handles." ”

Lin Shenhe didn't know why he said that, just as he didn't know why Liu Xuexun would buy a pistol that he would never use.

Perhaps this is another business success story, and the salespeople have once again made a contribution. He thought, without saying a word, standing silently aside, waiting patiently.

He has a lot of patience. At UMBRELLA, people often say that, imitating Qin Lang's tone, "Be patient, be patient." It's just that that's not the only reason he's been able to wait quietly, there's another one: the latest information he's gotten shows that even if he doesn't do anything...... His new boss's personal guard did nothing and remained strictly neutral, and the rebellion of the Confederate would not succeed.

The conspirators pinned their hopes entirely on the full support of the Japanese army in Formosa, and demanded that the rebel forces attack eastward, enter Fujian, and seize Xiamen in order to obtain a steady stream of weapons and financial support from the Japanese army, even if one did not consider whether to do so would amount to luring the wolf into the house.

Is an army with a core force of only a few hundred men, organized but undisciplined, lacking weapons, equipment and ammunition, and all officers and enlisted men with no basic military training, capable of completing an expedition from Canton to Fujian and capturing a city? Hardly possible.

Was the weapons and financial support promised by the Japanese army in Formosa just the idea of some people, or was it the behest of the Japanese government? Apparently the former.

Will the Japanese government take strong measures to interfere with and stop the unauthorized actions of the Japanese army in Formosa? If the situation does not turn for the better, there is no doubt that it will.

Finally, is the above conclusion credible? Yes, absolutely no mistakes.

Lin Shenhe himself lacks the ability to analyze, and he lacks enough information to complete the analysis, but he believes in the ability of those who collect and analyze intelligence, and, even if they are all wrong, there is one person who can make up for their mistakes.

Because he hasn't made a mistake yet.

And this means that the conspirators of the League came up with a very typical bad idea, and they are going to carry it out. As they have been assessed, there is no crappy conspirator who comes closer to the truth, except for "stupid conspirators."

A bunch of fools. As soon as he thought of this, Lin Shenhe lost his original passion and was no longer willing to interfere in the rebellion of the conspirators: defeating a group of fools would not prove his strength. And if these guys are left to carry out their plans and let them fully display their genius ideas and great ability to act, people will have a lot of fun talking about them and laughing for many years to come.

What a wonderful result. He sighed, imagining that future with longing.

Then he heard a voice.

"Any news?"

Lin Shenhe immediately retreated from his wonderful fantasies, returned to reality, and replied in a low voice: "Yes, my lord, there is good news and there is bad news. ”

Liu Xuexun carefully put the pistol back into the same delicate box, and then asked, "What is good news and what is bad?" ”

"The good news is that my old colleague has managed to infiltrate the conspirators and get the full plan. The bad thing is that the conspirators' actions are supported by the Japanese. ”

"Oh." Liu Xuexun pretended to nod, and then thought for a while. "Don't worry. As far as I know, some Japanese were very enthusiastic about supporting the rebellion in our Qing Dynasty—"

"It's not ordinary Japanese, it's the Japanese intelligence agencies and the military." Lin Shenhe deliberately added a little worry and fear to his tone, and they worked immediately.

As an old fox, Liu Xuexun has the ability to keep quiet, but now he can't control himself. "Japan's intelligence agencies and military?"

Japan's intelligence agencies and army! If this news is true and not exaggerated, then he will have to reconsider his plans: although it is not yet known to what extent the Japanese were involved in the rebellion of the League, there are some things that do not need to be considered at all. As anyone in their right mind knows, an insignificant governor of Formosa, appointed by spending money, must not confront a great power state, or else he will be killing himself.

And his brain is normal, there is no problem.

He began to retreat. "I think it is necessary to reconsider the actions that we are prepared to take. The last decision, now seems, was inadequate......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Lin Shenhe already regretted his reckless move: out of his own will, he hoped that Liu Xuexun would abandon the decision he had made a few days earlier, let the conspirators of the Alliance launch a rebellion, and wait for the rebellion to collapse automatically; However, he is not the one who makes the decision, but only a subordinate executor, and is not qualified to replace the decision of the person above with his own ideas, and cannot destroy the plan.

He had to get Liu back in the right direction.

In a slightly provocative tone, but Liu Xuexun could tolerate it, he asked, "My lord, do you think you should let the conspirators start a rebellion and not take any intervention?" ”

"Do you have a better way?" Liu Xuexun glared at him.

Without answering this question, Lin Shenhe only reminded: "My lord, we all know very well that in the event of a rebellion, the imperial court will inevitably hold the officials in Guangdong responsible. Even though Canton is not under your jurisdiction, as a high-ranking official who happens to live here and has a guard of two thousand men, your name will inevitably appear on that list. ”

"There is some truth in your words, but you are still too short-sighted to see all the problems." Liu Xuexun made public the results he saw: "Since the Japanese intelligence agencies and the army are behind the scenes to support the rebellion of the conspirators, if I send the guards to quell the rebellion, it will inevitably cause the Japanese to intervene in the armed forces, or protest to the imperial court, but no matter what, my fate is not what I want to see." ”

"But Guangdong is the sphere of influence of the Americans."

"Americans? What do you mean......"

Lin Shenhe kept his mouth shut and didn't say anything - he had already finished what he had to say, and if he continued, he would make himself appear too smart. But the crucial part was already in front of Liu Xuexun, as long as he could get rid of the factors that had upset him, regain his composure, and figure out what he meant—Canton was the sphere of influence of the Americans, and they would never let the Japanese drive a nail in the coffin.

Even if the Japanese don't mean to drive a nail in Guangdong, perhaps, but what they think doesn't matter. As long as Americans believe that that is what they think, then it is.

The Americans will interfere with the actions of the Japanese. But if a Chinese official had sent his own guards to quell a rebellion backed by Japanese intelligence and military and sabotage the Japanese attempts before they acted, they would have been very happy to cast him a approving glance, reward him, and favor him.

Of course, they will also protect him.

It was just a moment that Liu Xuexun had already generated so many thoughts in his mind, and his mood suddenly changed and relaxed, becoming as happy as at the beginning. Then, he thought of something more: his relationship with Qin Lang was not bad, his guards were all from the UMRELLA company, and Qin Lang was a wealthy Chinese businessman with many connections and significant influence in the U.S. government......

Qin Lang would say some good things to him, recommend him to the U.S. government, and suggest that the U.S. government support him; Of course, it is also possible for him to refuse to do these little things-Liu Xuexun knows that his status in Qin Lang's mind is not important to that extent-but what does it matter? People would naturally think that Qin Lang would do those things.

A personal guard of two thousand men made up entirely of UMBRELLA mercenaries, and as soon as anyone investigates, it will be discovered that every member of this guard was recommended to him by the UMBRELLA company, and it is the evidence.

Liu Xuexun had an urge to laugh out loud.

"You're doing a great job, Deep River." He began to pat Lin Shenhe on the shoulder, patting hard, as if this was the only way to fully express what he meant: appreciation from the heart. He didn't doubt the captain of the guard, even if he had some special ideas, just think that he was once a mercenary of the UMBRELLA company and worked for the Americans for several years, and he took those ideas for granted.

Yes, a mercenary working for the Americans, of course, is not afraid of the Japanese and will think of his old employer at the first time.

This instinctive reaction of his helped him.

Liu Xuexun thought happily, and continued to pat Lin Shenhe's shoulder for a while before stopping. "Very well, I decided to still act according to the original plan." "Now, tell me the good news," he asked, "and speak slowly." I think the information provided by your old colleague must have been very detailed. ”

That's true. Lin Shenhe sneered secretly. In order to save a little commission, despite the strong opposition of several Japanese, the conspirators of the League spat out their plans without reservation, leaving only the last point, the final time to start a rebellion.

For they themselves did not know when the rebellion would begin - there were still some necessary preparations that had not been completed, and some of the party members who had not intended to participate suddenly changed their minds, and as a result, in order to wait for them, the plan had to be postponed again.
