Recently, Britain and France have jointly excluded Germany in the distribution of interests in North Africa, and Germany has launched a war between Germany and France in order to seek interests, so Germany is not on the side of Japan and Jin on the Liaodong issue.

The other foreign ambassador who did not join the group was the American ambassador, who was still at odds with the British, and the man who had recently begun to grow a beard sat on the side admiring the precious porcelain in the room with great interest, and seemed to be more interested in this than the situation on the Liaodong Peninsula.

It is different from the time of decades ago, when European countries united to resist the Ming Empire. Now these mature countries have begun to have different interests and conflicts with each other, at least on the Liaodong issue, the attitude of these countries is completely different from that shown by Japan when it became independent.

Seeing that the diplomatic department of the Ming Empire put on an attitude of "you say yours, I just smile and don't speak", the diplomatic envoy of the British Empire, Krans, really couldn't sit still, he glanced at the French ambassador and signaled the latter to hurry up and say a few more words.

It is also impossible for Britain to be so concerned about this matter, he has always taken the support of Japan as his established national policy in Asia, and Japan was able to protect itself from the Ming Empire at least in terms of force in just a few decades, and the British contributed a lot behind it.

Japan itself is an island country, and in many ways feels very similar to the United Kingdom, and even in the heart of Emperor Tammu, he thinks that the distant British Empire can contain the expansion of the Ming Empire, and the Great Japanese Empire, which learns from the British Empire, can also do it. Therefore, in its bones, Japan takes it as its mission to contain the Ming Empire in East Asia and be a bridgehead for other countries in the world to suppress the Ming Empire.

France has always been a country that has formed a group with Britain, and seeing Crans's eyes, the French ambassador had no choice but to say to Sun Fang again: "Your Excellency, your insincere delay is extremely irresponsible for the situation in Liaodong, and I don't think this is the attitude to solve the problem......

"Ah, Mr. Ambassador of France...... The matter concerning the rebels in Liaodong is not under my jurisdiction, and if I rashly talk about such topics, I will be impeached by my colleagues. Sun Fang spread his hands innocently and said: "As for the Japanese region, there are no examples to refer to before, so I can only ask for instructions." ”

The state apparatus of the Ming Empire has always been a decadent and inefficient state to the outside world, and it has been so calm or slow to deal with any kind of thorny problems. When Sun Fang really came up with this consistent attitude, it suddenly made everyone present feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

"When it comes to shirking and kicking the ball, these Ming officials are definitely the best in the world. Any detail of a matter can be a reason for them to stand by and let you look elsewhere, and if they are determined to procrastinate, no one will come forward to pay attention to it for three months. When German Ambassador Hannathan heard Sun Fang say this, he held back his smile and said to the American ambassador who was still looking at the teacup in his hand.

The American ambassador shrugged his shoulders and said to the German ambassador who had just come over with an indifferent expression: "I have dealt with these officials of the Ming Empire. If they are willing to delay, it is very likely that the war situation in Liaodong will be fought until the next century. ”

If it weren't for those border generals who were slow to raise their own self-esteem, and if it weren't for those inefficient and even corrupt grassroots officials, the Liaodong rebellion of the Ming Empire would not have lasted for decades, let alone become more and more serious, and even captured important towns such as Fengtian, Anshan, and Liaoyang. If it weren't for the Ming bureaucracy and other groups attacking each other, many things might have been different now.

In the Beijing Division, the ambassadors of various countries are still wasting time with Sun Fang, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Jue, who has captured Xinmin on the front line, is busy with a lot of rags in his hands. The appearance of tanks not only broke the enemy's defensive line, but also completely disrupted the original tactical system of the entire new army.

Wang Jue now knows what a huge storm of military tactical revolution this enhanced version of the armored car he and Zhu Mu have created. Now it is not only the tanks themselves that need to be reformed, but also the composition of the troops with tanks, and even a series of weapons and equipment that were originally normal to accompany these reforms.

The most obvious one is the infantry in the new army, which fights with the armored forces. There is a general need for more suitable individual weapons to adapt to the new operational environment of the troops. And now Wang Jue, who has been tormented by this kind of appeal, has a tendency to collapse, and he now understands how powerful the army he has improved is, once it is really formed, it will surpass all the existing armies, and form a huge generation gap.

Zhang Jianjun was demoted to deputy commander because he was delayed by one hour when breaking through the enemy's defense line, and temporarily became the commander of the new 1st Army. Now he is standing behind Wang Jue dejectedly, summarizing the various problems exposed in this battle.

"Don't be sad, just a month's punishment, I'm already lenient enough! Isn't it just that Guo Xing has been ridiculed a few times, and the next time you fight, you just have to fight back. Wang Jue put down a report on the application for lighter artillery and raised his head from the pile of documents.

Originally, in the battle of crossing the Liuhe River that day, Wang Jue hoped to end the battle in 3 hours, but in the end, 3 hours could not completely break the rebels' defense line, and the losses were much more than originally estimated. However, at the beginning of the attack, the new army did not have the support of tank troops, and could only entangle with the rebels with ordinary river-crossing tactics, so at the request of Guo Xing and others, Zhang Jianjun was not dismissed but demoted and retained.

Of course, this incident made Zhang Jianjun extremely embarrassed, and when he saw Guo Xing at the meeting several times, he couldn't raise his head. The entire New 1st Army also felt very faceless because of this incident, and their faces were disgraced in front of the New 2nd Army.

Glancing at Zhang Jianjun like a defeated rooster, Wang Jue had no choice but to retract his gaze, and then buried his head in the dazzling pile of army innovation ideas.

"What do you think of this?" Suddenly, picking up a report, Wang Jue asked with bright eyes.
