"In fact, in the eyes of the ministry, this problem is actually very simple, that is, if the side loses, then we can obtain the benefits that should belong to us with the help of our allies, for example, in the end, the Japanese won the war, then when Japan and Russia negotiate, we can propose to accept some interests that originally belonged to us, and the reason for the Japanese to go to war is not to clear my breath of air?"

After Wang Bin said these words in one breath, he first stopped and continued to breathe a sigh of relief

"Won't we be able to use this as an excuse to gain benefits, my lord!"

There seemed to be a hint of temptation in Wang Bin's words, which made Yuan Shikai can't help but think of the situation where once he does such a thing, the voice of the country for himself will become higher and higher.

But anyone who is an official cares most about the big problem of his reputation, and the same is true for Yuan Shikai, who can resist before the temptation of huge fame?

So Yuan Shikai slowly narrowed his eyes and pondered what Wang Bin said.

As for the divergence of interests between Japan and Russia, the outcome of the war determines the need for interests, or to obtain some benefits from the losing and successful sides.

Thinking about the problem from this point of view, Yuan Shikai has never considered it, this time Yuan Shikai got this idea from Wang Bin, it was like seeing a new world, and then Yuan Shikai said: "I didn't expect you, Youde, you still have such an idea, it seems that this official did the right thing to suppress your arms trafficking before, otherwise how could this official come to Jinzhou again and hear these words from your mouth!" ”

Regarding Yuan Shikai's words, Wang Bin just said that Yuan Shikai's words were too much praise, and what qualifications did he have to get such praise.

Regarding Wang Bin's modesty, Yuan Shikai just smiled and continued: "Youde, according to this official today, you have a deep understanding of both Japan and Russia, why don't you tell the old man some of your opinions on Japan and Russia?" ”

From Wang Bin's words, Yuan Shikai found that some of Wang Bin's thinking was different from other people, and he was often able to hit the nail on the head, so Yuan Shikai wanted to see what kind of views Wang Bin had on Japan and Russia.

Yuan Shikai's question was too simple for Wang Bin, it was nothing more than a retelling of his previous views on Japan and Russia, so after Yuan Shikai stopped, Wang Bin spoke

"Since the lord wants the ministry to express his opinion, then the ministry has no choice but to show ugliness, in the opinion of the ministry that both Japan and Russia have ambitions, otherwise how could this war break out."

"And in the eyes of the Ministry of Employment, the Japanese are the most harmful of both sides."

After Wang Bin said this, Yuan Shikai suddenly asked why?

And Wang Bin's answer is also very simple

"My lord, Japan's national strength has been on the rise since the Meiji Restoration, and the Japanese have now basically controlled Korea, so that the Japanese have a springboard in the Far East, and they can grab benefits anytime and anywhere, on the other hand, although the Russians are still a strong country now, but as far as the Ministry knows, the internal problems of the current Tsarist Russia are serious, there are bureaucrats in high positions and do nothing, and there are constant uprisings, and according to the current situation of the war, There were also certain problems with the combat effectiveness of the army of Tsarist Russia. ”

"Therefore, in the view of the Ministry of Employment, the current road of Tsarist Russia is still coming to an end, if nothing else, Tsarist Russia will have great turmoil within ten years, in contrast, it is undoubtedly the rising national strength and the springboard of North Korea is the greatest threat."

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Shikai was frightened, which said that Japan was the most threatening, and Yuan Shikai could understand it, but Wang Bin said that if nothing else, Tsarist Russia would have great turmoil in ten years.

Although the current Tsarist Russia really said to Wang Bin, the government has done nothing, and there are some uprisings in the country, but these uprisings are often suppressed by the army, and the Tsar still has a great ability to control Tsarist Russia now, and Russia is still a relatively strong country, so Yuan Shikai still feels a little exaggerated about some of the situation in Tsarist Russia that Wang Bin said.

So after Wang Bin finished speaking, Yuan Shikai only nodded, indicating that he had a certain agreement with Wang Bin's words.

Wang Bin saw that Yuan Shikai did not agree with everything he said, so he didn't say anything more, but changed the topic to another one.

Before Yuan Shikai came, Wang Bin felt that after the expansion of the army, the school camp under his command was increasingly unable to meet his educational needs for the army.

Before the army was not expanded into a town, it was a little better, and he could spare some time to guide some of the grassroots officers below to some of the most basic military qualities, but since the expansion of the army, he has not had much time, which made Wang Bin feel more and more that he needed to add some instructors to the academy.

But he didn't have any way to supplement the instructors, and when he was about to report this matter to Yuan Shikai and wanted Yuan Shikai to transfer a group of instructors, Yuan Shikai happened to come over.

"My lord, there is one more thing that needs to be decided by the staff, that is, there are no qualified instructors in the academy under the department, and it is impossible to give some of the most basic military literacy education to the lower-level officers, so the department wants the adults to send some instructors to the fifth town to be responsible for basic military theory."

So taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Bin told Yuan Shikai his purpose.

Yuan Shikai also didn't expect that Wang Bin would make this request, in Yuan Shikai's eyes, it seems that Wang Bin is a very capable person in military training, and there should be no shortage of talents in this area under his command.

But then Wang Bin's words changed Yuan Shikai's mind.

I saw Wang Bin continue: "My lord, since the Fifth Town was organized and trained, there is no time for the vocational department to take out some of the most basic military theories for the officers below, and although the officers under the vocational department say that they have a hand in military training, it is really difficult for them to be responsible for the education of military theory, so the vocational department wants to ask a group of instructors from the hands of adults to be responsible for this basic theoretical study. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shikai felt that there was really some truth, so he told Wang Bin that there was no need to bother with the problem anymore, and he would send some excellent instructors from the Army Crash School to supplement Wang Bin's predicament.

Regarding Yuan Shikai's move, Wang Bin also expressed to Yuan Shikai his intention to train hard in the fifth town in the future.

Regarding Wang Bin's expression, Yuan Shikai also gave a certain amount of praise to Wang Bin.
