Chapter 168: Conspiracy (3)
After Lin Quanzhu returned to the legation, he immediately sent the transaction given by Tie Liang to China in the form of a telegram, and after the telegram was sent, Lin Quanzhu knew that the country would definitely make waves again. The telegram arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs soon after crossing the ocean, and as soon as the telegram arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was delivered to the hands of the then Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lin Dong, after the telegram sent by Quan Zhu, Lin Dong's first reaction was that the content of the telegram was fake, how could the Qing State pay such a big price to ask the General Staff Headquarters to send troops in order to suppress a minister of his own country?
Later, Lin Dong realized that the benefits given by the Qing State were making him feel incredible, that was the high-quality iron ore and coal resources that the empire had been seeking, and Lin Dong could fully imagine that after the empire won the mineral development rights in Benxi, the empire would not need to worry about steel and coal for a long time in the future.
After Lin Dong reacted, he immediately realized that this was already something he couldn't decide, so Lin Dong immediately asked Oyama Iwa, who was promoted to chief of staff of the War Department after the Russo-Japanese War, and Togo Heihachiro, the minister of the Navy Military Command Department, to invite him.
Although they were curious, Togo Heihachiro and Oyama Iwa still rushed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and after the two arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they were even more curious about each other, what is there that requires the Navy and the Army to arrive at the factory at the same time, is it possible that the empire is ready to go to war with whom?
Other than that, Togo Heihachiro and Oyama Iwa couldn't think of any other reason.
After the two arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs together to meet with Foreign Minister Lin Dong.
Soon after entering the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the two met with Foreign Minister Lin Dong, and Foreign Minister Lin Dong said to the two as soon as he saw Oyama Yan and Togo Heihachiro: "Dashan-kun Togo-kun This is a telegram just sent from Lin Quansu, the ambassador to the Qing Dynasty. ”
After finishing speaking, Lin Dong pushed the telegram in front of Oyama Iwa and Togo Heihachiro.
Dashan Yan and Dongxiang Heihachiro saw that Foreign Minister Lin Dong was so serious, so they took the telegram, and the content of the report was that Dashan Yan and Dongxiang Heihachiro suddenly couldn't calm down, Benxi's iron ore and coal mine Dashan Yan knew, this time they could get the development right of Benxi's iron ore and coal mine, Dashan Yan was enough to think of this temptation in the country no one could refuse, and Togo Heihachiro on the side even thought that after having the development right of Benxi, the navy would have enough resources to build more warships.
"Lin Dongjun, if this is true, I suggest that you should be prepared to send troops."
Later, Dashanyan said to Foreign Minister Lin Dong.
"Yes, Lin Dongjun's empire really needs such resources."
Heihachiro Togo on the side also echoed Oyama Yan's words.
"Don't worry, Dongxiang-kun, Dashan-kun, if you want to send troops, you still need the approval of the cabinet, although I also know what this telegram means, but the attitude of the cabinet can determine whether we should send troops in the end." After listening to Lin Dong's words, Togo Heihachiro and Oyama Iwa immediately set off with Lin Dong to go to the residence of Prime Minister Saionji Kobo, and as soon as the three of them arrived at the residence of Saionji Kobo, the Minister of the Navy Yamamoto Gonbei walked out of the residence of Saionji Kobo. Yamamoto Gonbei was also shocked after the three of Yamayan Togo Heihachiro Lin Dong, what did the three of them need to go to the residence of Prime Minister Saionji Kobo together? At this moment, Togo Heihachiro and the others also Yamamoto Gonbei walked out of the mansion of Saionji Gongwang, and Togo Heihachiro immediately stepped forward to stop Yamamoto Gonbei, and invited Yamamoto Gonbei to accompany the three of them to meet Xionji Gongwang again. Yamamoto Gonbei was a little unclear after listening to Togo Heihachiro's words, so he had just come out of Saionji Gongwang, why did Togo Heihachiro invite him in again? Yamamoto Gonbei directly expressed his doubts, and in the face of Yamamoto Gonbei's doubts, Togo Heihachiro directly handed over Lin Dong's telegram to himself and others to Yamamoto Gonbei for a look. "Is this true?" After the telegram, Yamamoto Gonbei asked Foreign Minister Lin Dong directly, wanting to get confirmation from Lin Dong, "Yamamoto-kun, of course it's true, otherwise how would we be here?" "Since it's true, then I'll go in with you one more time." Yamamoto said with some anxiety. For Yamamoto Gonbei, he will not miss every opportunity to strengthen the emperor's power and economy, not to mention that the conditions released by the Qing Kingdom this time are really tempting to many people, and Yamamoto Gonbei believes that this condition will also make Xiyuan Temple Gongwang tempted. Immediately, the group of four began to walk towards the reception room of the public hope of Xiyuan Temple. After the four of them arrived at the reception room, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang was still tasting the tea he had just drunk with Yamamoto Gonbei, and Yamamoto Gonbei, who had just finished drinking, had just said goodbye, and actually brought Togo Heihachiro, Chief of Staff of the Navy, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Dong to visit him, which made Xiyuan Temple Gongwang a little curious What happened to alarm these people, and even Yamamoto Gonbei, who had just left, came back. Just when the Saionji Gongwang was still curious, Yamamoto Gonbei took the first step to put the telegram in front of the Saionji Gongwang, and while the Saionji Gongwang was there, Yamamoto Gonbei and the others sat down cross-legged first and waited for the reaction of the Saionji Gongwang. After the telegram, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang was immediately moved by the conditions given by the Qing State above, and Xiyuan Temple Gongwang knew that once the empire had the right to develop Benxi, it would be very helpful to alleviate the situation in the country, and it was also extremely important for the army and navy, no wonder Yamamoto Quan Bingwei would come back after going out. "You've made up your mind about this telegram." After the report, Saionji Gongwang put his hands on his thighs and said to Yamamoto Gonbei and the others. "Yes, Your Excellency, wouldn't it be a loss for the Empire to let go of such an opportunity? Therefore, we should be ready to send troops, and besides, the army in the hands of Wang Bin believes that with the strength of the empire, it will be able to be easily wiped out. Oyama Rock said at the exit. Then this matter will be settled, and I will go to the emperor to say, but I don't know how long it will take for Oyama-kun to mobilize the army and prepare to send it? "Xiyuan Temple Gongwang asked towards Dashan Yan." Your Excellency, it is enough to use only two divisions to send troops this time, and as for when to send troops, I think it will only take two months to prepare. "In that case, Your Excellency Oyama Yan, then please be ready to send troops." After getting Dashanyan's answer, the Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple said conclusively. (To be continued.)
