'British! Finally****** came...... Deshou cursed in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He has been waiting for the British for more than a day or two, although Deshou has the heart to carry Wang Sirui to the end, but without the support of the British, Deshou can only be powerless.

All the arsenals in China are in the north, or Wuhan, and there is not a single one in the south.

Without weapons, how can Deshou resist? Is it difficult to let the soldiers use their flesh and blood to fight against the opponent's steel guns and copper bullets?

When the British came, Deshou instantly seemed to have a backbone, and his heart was not as panicked as before.

Deal...... It's a big deal to flee to Hong Kong, which is now the territory of the British, no matter how good he Wang Sirui is, is it difficult to dare to fight in Hong Kong?

"Quick! Please! Deshou hurriedly instructed the subordinate, as if he was more anxious than seeing his father.

Seeing Deshou's attitude, the subordinates didn't dare to delay at the moment, and hurriedly turned their heads to invite the foreigners in.

While waiting for the British, Deshou also secretly organized the language in his heart, although it was their own business to resist the Han army, but the British had also gained a lot of benefits in Liangguang in recent years, if they didn't have any strength, it would be obviously unreasonable.

But why did the British make a difference? Is it just because they have gained a lot of benefits?

Again, this argument is somewhat untenable.

I have to admit that before the incident, Deshou reacted in hindsight, and he seemed to be put on a position by the British.

Previously, the British negotiated with them as the governor of Liangguang, and the British helped him to secure this position, while Deshou needed to ensure the interests of the British in the Liangguang region.

Obviously, this is a reciprocal transaction.

At that time, Deshou didn't think there was anything wrong, but now he realized that if the British refused, he really had nothing to find fault with.

'No, damn the British, how dare you dig a hole for me?' Hmph, got so many benefits, and now you want to run? No way! Deshou couldn't help but be secretly angry, and scolded in his heart.

In short, no matter what, this time Deshou must pull the British into the water.

"My friend, are you alright?" A foreign man in his forties walked into the lobby with a smile, looked at Deshou who was sitting there and pondered, and couldn't help but ask enthusiastically.

"Major Wells, I'm fine. What about you? Is there anything interesting about returning home this time? Tokushou changed his expression and asked Wells.

Wells is a military attaché in Hong Kong, but has been in charge of the two Guangxi side for recent years. It's just that nominally, he is also a military attache in Hong Kong.

Even the British Empire, the most powerful empire in the world, did not dare to meddle in the internal affairs of the Qing Empire easily.

In fact, the British themselves know better than anyone else that although Britain is strong, it is only strong on the sea, and the combat effectiveness of the British Army is not very good.

Otherwise, a Boer war would not have been fought for almost three years.

And after the Boer War, Britain's national power began to weaken, which was not a good sign.

In fact, the Boer War was the prelude to the decline of the British world hegemon, and it was from this war that the British completely lost their status as the world hegemon in just a few decades.

But Wang Sirui won't tell them these things, and he won't tell them either, Wang Sirui has prepared a big net for them, just waiting for them to jump into it.

"It's not bad, but what excites me the most is that I met my grandson, a very cute little guy." Wells responded with a smile.

Deshou was stunned for a moment, and secretly scolded the cunning Wells, but he still responded with a smile on his face: "That's really congratulations, your Excellency, this official has a gift for your grandson, and I will send it to your mansion when I turn around, and ask your Excellency to pass it on to the cute little guy." ”

"Hehe, I think the little one will love the gift from the Far East." Wells laughed, very satisfied with Deshou's answer.

After all, he has been in the Far East for several years, and he has long been familiar with the folk customs of China, and even some bends and curves can clearly judge the specific meaning.

Otherwise, why would Wells go out of his way to mention his newborn grandson? Isn't it for the gift of Deshou yet?

And as the most powerful bureaucrat in the Liangguang region, will the gift he gave be an ordinary gift?

Of course, Wells also knew very well that this gift Deshou was not prepared at all.

As for whether this gift is precious or not, and how much it is worth, it depends on whether the news he brought this time is worth the price.

For the rest of the conversation, it will be determined how much the gift is worth.

Of course, if the gift from Deshou did not satisfy Wells, then Wells could easily withhold the aid for a while.

"Your Excellency, I wonder how your country considered my proposal last time?" Seeing that the warm-up was almost over, Deshou mentioned the things he was most concerned about.

"The domestic opinion is to provide Your Excellency with a thousand rifles, two heavy machine guns, as well as a million rifle cartridges and fifty thousand light machine gun cartridges." Wells said slowly.

Deshou frowned fiercely, this number is actually not small, but in the face of tens of thousands of Han troops, this bit of equipment is obviously not enough.

In addition to the gifts given to Wells and others before and after, it is to buy, not only to buy such equipment.

Obviously, Wells and the others are equivalent to being slaughtered by Dangkaizi this time.

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, although these weapons can alleviate the current situation of our army's shortage of weapons to a certain extent, they are still useless for the whole. And what is the strength of the Han army on the other side? I think your country should know better than I do.

Or do you think that with only a few thousand people, you can resist the offensive of the Han army? If there is not enough equipment, I am afraid that even those newly recruited soldiers have no intention of training, and if the troops are dispersed at this time, it will not be so easy to recruit them.

And once the Han army fights, we will be unable to protect ourselves, so how can we ensure your country's interests in Liangguang? Is your country willing to give up its interests here? Or do you think that the Han army will guarantee your country's interests here? "Deshou is really angry this time, this is simply too much deception.

Not to mention anything else, just the money and gifts given to these people are worth as much as 100,000 taels of silver, but in exchange for only this bit of equipment, who will not be angry when this is put on them?

"Your Excellency, I am well aware of your difficulties, and I have also indicated to the country the seriousness of the situation here, and in the end, fortunately, I bribed an official from above, and he helped me to convince you, and the above promised to give you 3,000 rifles, 3 million bullets, 5 heavy machine guns, and 100,000 bullets. The equipment has been loaded onto the ship and will arrive at the port in a month at the latest. Wells said with a smile.

"Three thousand rifles?" Deshou continued to frown.

How could he not understand Wells's routine? If you can't understand it, then you can only say that he has lived in vain for decades.

The rifle has tripled, and this is still nothing to make up, but the strength of the Han army is too much, and Deshou doesn't even dare to guarantee that he can win in a one-on-one situation, let alone not even one-on-one now?

Deshou frowned slightly, gritted his teeth suddenly, and fought!

"Your Excellency, I am willing to bear some of the expenses in this matter. I just wonder if you can support us with more equipment? Deshou said.

Wells also had a look of embarrassment, but his heart was full of joy.

The feeling of pinching the opponent's seven inches is really refreshing, as long as we say a few words casually, the other party will have to obediently send the silver over.

After a long time, Wells spoke: "In this way, I will send five hundred rifles from Hong Kong and help you with them." In addition, I have some friendship with some merchants in China, can I make an introduction to your ability to see if they can sell you some weapons? ”

"Alas, don't hide it from Your Excellency, I really don't have much money here, and I have to raise an army, and I have to spend money on the local area, and I also have to fund the organization, and I am afraid that I can only buy a thousand rifles at most." Deshou shook his head helplessly and complained.

From Wells's last sentence, Deshou felt that Wells was actually lying to himself.

What bullshit British refuses to help more? How could the British not know the importance of the two regions to Britain?

If the strength of the Han army can be consumed to the greatest extent in the Liangguang region, wouldn't it be possible to ensure the security of Hong Kong?

Although Wang Sirui is unlikely to attack Hong Kong directly, what if Wang Sirui is a stunned young man? Isn't Wang Sirui's performance enough to prove this?

In fact, the big bulls in Britain, although they didn't get here, didn't experience the tension here.

But as the most powerful empire in the world, they still have their own opinions on certain things.

You know, the British built Hong Kong as a local city, and it took decades of hard work to build Hong Kong, so how could the British push Hong Kong into the flames of war?

Therefore, the advice given by the British think tank was that it was necessary to vigorously support Takshou, that the war must be delayed in Guangzhou, and that the war should never be allowed to approach Hong Kong, or even Guangzhou.

If necessary, the British could even contact the Russians and ask the Russians to send troops to the north to capture the northeast to attract Wang Sirui's attention in order to achieve their goals.

Although I am a little sorry for the Japanese in doing this, in the face of their own interests, the British will not care about the Japanese.

So, in fact, the British gave 10,000 rifles, 10 million bullets, and 50 heavy machine guns.

It's just that Wells and the others felt that they should take this batch of arms out of Deshou to extort a sum of money, so there was the previous scene.

Wells was also a little scared of Deshou's complaints, if he really couldn't come up with so much money, what should he do? If these weapons could not reach Deshou, and eventually spread the flames of war to Hong Kong, wouldn't he become a sinner of the British Empire?

As soon as he thought of this, Wells couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, they are all my good friends, I will lower the price for you, if possible, I will lower a rifle for you to about ten taels of silver." (To be continued.) )
