Or in that barracks, about which the representatives of the great powers have come to I don't know how many times. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is an ordinary military camp, although the place is a little bigger, and the security inside and outside is much stricter, but if you say 1,000 to 10,000, it's a fucking barracks here.

And two kilometers away, there is the former Qing Palace, and even these foreigners have been unable to understand, does this Wang Sirui seem to be stupid?

You said that you are the emperor of the Great Celestial Empire, you don't live in the Forbidden City, but you want to live in this barracks, those who know still know that you are an emperor, and those who don't know still think that you are a battalion commander.

As for the royal palace......

Forget it, let's not mention it, the good palace was turned into a national office area by Wang Sirui, and a large number of state departments were placed in the palace to work, but he, the emperor, has never entered a step.

"I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about North Korea. After all, the king of Joseon, Yi Hee, has the legitimate throne and is the ruler of Korea, as a subject of the empire, the empire has the obligation to help him govern his country well, and when he encounters difficulties, the empire also has the obligation and responsibility to help him overcome this difficulty.

Now I can only assure you that the Empire will not send a single soldier across the border to fight in Korea. And the supplies that the empire should support for North Korea will not be short of a truckload, and I believe you should be able to understand my difficulties. Wang Sirui responded lightly.

Although the affairs of the Volunteer Army are open and transparent, I am afraid that even ordinary people will not think that the Volunteer Army really has nothing to do with the empire.

But Wang Sirui is an emperor and a politician after all.

What is the most important factor in a good politician? The answer is three words, shameless.

That's right, politicians are actually the most shameless people in the world, even more shameless than those xxoo or ljxo criminals. But then again, politicians must also not ask for face, today you want face, tomorrow others will want your life, the day after tomorrow will want your country.

Although everyone knows that the volunteer army was sent by Wang Sirui, even the letter requesting retirement from active duty may have been forged.

But this kind of thing, Wang Sirui will never admit it at all, and no one expects him to admit it, after all, they all know this situation, even if it is put on them, no one will admit it.

However, there is one thing to thank Wang Sirui, the volunteer army has let them learn this trick, although the British and French disdain to do this, but the Germans like it very much.

For example, if you like a piece of territory, and then let the volunteers fight, anyway, they have nothing to do with the country, and after the fight, they will set up a provisional government, and finally decide to incorporate it into Germany, this trick is simply cool.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, although the Volunteer Army is a voluntary organization of the people, they are your people after all, and I think as long as you give a holy decree, they will definitely obey it. On the issue of North Korea, we agreed that war is not the best solution to the problem, and that the two sides should calm down and then have a good talk about it. Sa Daoyi replied calmly.

Today's Sa Daoyi is very calm in his heart, because he came with sincerity, and Wang Sirui has no reason to refuse his sincerity.

Regarding Wang Sirui's denial, everything was expected, these are often situations in diplomatic situations, and he has long been used to it.

"This kind of thing you should talk to the king of Joseon, not me, as long as you negotiate with the king of Joseon, I will naturally order my people to return to China, you don't need to worry about this." Wang Sirui is still playing Tai Chi, and he can't figure out the purpose of the British, how can Wang Sirui release rabbits?

Although Wang Sirui doesn't like to engage in diplomacy and doesn't like this atmosphere, who made him emperor? There are some things that others can do for him, but there are some things that he can only do by himself.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, Korea is a vassal state of your country, and if you all agree, the King of Korea will obey your orders. Although Japan has some entanglements with your country, your country and Japan are far from reaching the point of mortal enemies, and although your army is very strong enough to easily crush the Japanese, your country is not without disadvantages. On land, your country can easily win, but what about at sea? As long as Japan sends a fleet, it can easily prevent your army from approaching the coast.

Once the Japanese have made up their minds to fight to the death, then these coastal areas will be the best landing grounds for them, and war, if they cannot cut off the enemy's rear route, then the war will only sink into a deep quagmire.

And your country is now at a critical juncture of development, if it is dragged down by a dispensable war, it is extremely uneconomical, His Majesty the Emperor is well aware of the righteousness, and it is naturally not difficult to see the truth.

Compared to Japan, Russia is the real enemy of your country. As far as I know, the Russians are not only secretly contacting the Mongolian aristocracy, hoping that Mongolia can become independent, but also secretly contacting Xinjiang, although your army is strong, but it is impossible to recover the distant Xinjiang for a while, once Xinjiang is also independent, then it is not so easy to take it back.

And in the Far East, the Russians have also usurped almost a tenth of your country's land through all sorts of despicable terms, isn't that a deep hatred?

Of course, the Russians have secretly contacted us once in the hope that we can support their army into Heilongjiang, their desire for land is bottomless, and those barbarians will only invade the land of other countries.

Therefore, I think that the main focus of your country should be on the north rather than on the Japanese. Of course, if His Majesty the Emperor so desires, our four countries are ready to support your country in recovering the lands usurped by Russia. Sa Daoyi said meaningfully, seemingly analyzing the current situation, but in fact, it was equivalent to showing Wang Sirui their attitude.

As for Sa Daoyi's analysis, why doesn't Wang Sirui know?

As early as last year, when rescuing Li Xi, Wang Sirui had already taken into account various circumstances, but he had no choice, the Korean War must be fought, even if the Chinese Empire does not have the ability to completely occupy Korea, and does not have the ability to completely drive the Japanese army into the sea, they must also fight this battle.

North Korea, after all, was the first subject country to submit its credentials to the empire, for the dignity of the empire, for the future of the empire, and for the international status of the empire, no matter what, even if he knew that he might eventually fall into an endless war, Wang Sirui had to fight this battle.

Now the only thing Wang Sirui can rely on is that he knows very well that the Japanese do not have the strength to fight a protracted war of attrition with him. At the same time, Wang Sirui can have Koreans who don't want money to serve as cannon fodder and train troops at the same time, but the Japanese can only use their own vitality to fight the Sino-Korean coalition army.

Therefore, if the war really goes on, the Chinese Empire will have an absolute advantage.

Because the territory of the Chinese Empire is large, many war materials can be self-sufficient, but Japan can only buy them, and a large amount of funds are used for the war, which will inevitably affect the domestic industrial development, just like the war of resistance in later generations, the longer the war, the greater the harm to Japan.

Of course, the current Chinese Empire does not need to rely on space to exchange time like later generations, they just need to drag Japan to death in Korea.

At the same time, the longer the war lasts, the more beneficial it will be to the Chinese Empire, at the very least, the troops of the First Army can take turns to gain some experience, so why not?

Although there are losses, the losses are far less than the benefits gained, and this is enough.

What do the British think? By the time they said that, it was already clear to Wang Sirui that they wanted the Chinese Empire to replace the role of Japan in history and help them drag the Russians to death in the Far East.

Of course, if the British give enough benefits, Wang Sirui does not mind playing with the Russians, and while the Russians' Far East Railway has not yet been completed and opened to traffic, the Russians will have more headaches than Wang Sirui when facing the Far East.

In fact, regardless of whether the British give benefits or not, in the next three years, Wang Sirui will provoke a war in the Far East, and he will drive the Russians out of the Far East before the Russians build the railway.

Anyway, the Russians don't have many troops in the Far East now, so they only need to kill the Russian Far East Army in one go, and the rest is purely to collect land in the past.

"Although I have always wanted to reclaim the land occupied by the Russians during the previous dynasty, which is the lifelong goal of every Chinese person, I am well aware of the current situation of the empire, and it is already very difficult for the empire to fight a war with the Japanese in Korea. If the opponent was Russia, the empire had no chance of winning. The physique of East Asia is far inferior to that of the Russians, and for every Russian killed, I have to pay the lives of two or more soldiers. Although the empire has enough soldiers to fight a war of attrition against the Russians, the empire cannot fight like this, those are my people, the empire is just beginning, and there is not enough economy to support the empire to fight a war with the Russians. Wang Sirui's heart was basically about to laugh, but on the surface, he was still very calm.

If you want to fight, can you take the benefits? It's no good, why should I listen to you? Although you don't say that I want to fight, it's like I happen to go to the capital, but no one knows, now you let me go to the capital to help you do something, you don't pay for the road or pay for it, I'll make you a yarn?

"If your country is ready to recover those lands, the British Empire is willing to aid your country a million pounds. In addition, the British Empire is willing to build warships of up to 20,000 tons of total tonnage for your country at a premium of 10 percent. At the same price, the four countries will build warships for your country that are no more than 40,000 tons combined. Sa Daoyi said as previously agreed.

Hearing this, Wang Sirui was happy, not to mention anything else, with this 40,000-ton battleship, Wang Sirui also had to agree.

If we add in the total number of more than 20 warships ordered by the United States, totaling more than 70,000 tons, then the empire will have warships with a total tonnage of about 110,000 tons, although it is still far inferior to the European and American powers, but it is still no problem to fight a dozen small Japan.
