'Bang ......'

A ceramic teacup was slammed to the ground by Wang Sirui, and the ceramic teacup that had followed him for more than three years shattered, and the boiling water in it was sprinkled on the ground, and the ceramic fragments were overturned by a huge force.

However, this still can't hide the anger in Wang Sirui's heart.

"The adults are angry, and the foreigners are now trying to provoke the anger of the adults, so that the adults will make some decisions that they want to see. The more this happens, the more we have to stay calm. Wang Shizhen looked at Wang Sirui, who was furious, and his heart was also full of anger, but Wang Shizhen knew very well that now they had no qualifications to be angry at all.

The Han army was certainly strong, but that was only for the Qing army at home.

Compared with the foreigners, although they may not suffer losses in the army, they cannot stand up to the joint attack of enemies from all sides.

Therefore, Wang Sirui must endure now, must do his best to avoid war with foreigners, and even, if necessary, he can give up certain interests.

"It's too much of a deception! I want to be a dignified China, but now I have fallen to such a point......" Wang Sirui clenched his hands into fists fiercely, and his nails pierced deeply into the palms of his hands.

Angry, how can he not be angry?

Just today, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, Russia, Austria, and Japan issued a note to him, at which the seven countries demanded that Wang Sirui immediately stop his southward movement and withdraw his troops to the area north of the Yangtze River in order to maintain the stability of the Qing Dynasty.

At the meeting, Wang Sirui only said one word, and then turned around and left.

'In China's internal affairs, it is not the turn of outsiders to intervene! ’

Wang Sirui knows very well what the consequences will be when he says this? However, he had to refuse the note from the Seven Kingdoms.

Regarding the face of the Seven Kingdoms, Wang Sirui can see it more clearly than anyone else.

Because the Japanese were defeated, they immersed themselves in hard training, and they no longer thought about defeating the Han army again and regaining their lost face.

Even, in order to take revenge, Japan cut some of the navy's funds, and set up three more divisions in Japan, and on the Korean side, the Japanese are also reorganizing the Korean army with five divisions, all of which are prepared to come to trouble the Han army.

The Russians are not honest at all in the Far East, crossing the border every once in a while, and even eye-to-eye with the Heilongjiang side.

And the Heilongjiang general Sabao, who knew that the imperial court was no longer there, almost opened the door directly to welcome the Russian army into the black, and the Jilin side was slightly better, but the situation was not optimistic.

Jilin General Changshun is now sitting in this position for the third time, and the veteran Changshun is afraid that the Russian army will attack on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to defend against the Shengjing Han army in the south.

In addition, Changshun is getting older now, and his physical condition is getting worse and worse, so he doesn't want to toss anything anymore.

So this chief started to be duplicitous, sending people to make friends with Heilongjiang on the one hand, and sending people to Shengjing to sue for peace.

Even, Changshun acquiesced in the military operation of the Shengjing Han army to occupy more than ten counties on the border of Shengjing, Jilin.

At that time, Wang Shuqi's suggestion was to directly annex Jilin in preparation for the future attack on Heilongjiang. But at that time, Wang Sirui's center of gravity was in the south, so after Wang Shuqi occupied dozens of county seats, he ordered to stop the operation.

Wang Sirui's idea was to use Jilin as a buffer zone, on the one hand, to let the Han army in Shengjing step up training, and on the other hand, to expand the strength of the second army as soon as possible, in case of emergency.

And the reason why he made this decision is because Wang Sirui knows that Japan and Russia have fought a war in Northeast China in history, and it was not the defeated Russia that suffered the most in that war, but the people of Northeast China.

So, why did the Second Army have six regular army divisions and ten reserve divisions? The size of a total of 288,000 troops?

In fact, the Second Army is defending against Japan and Russia, and now three of the six divisions of the Second Army's main force are composed of veterans with three years of military experience, three are veterans with two years of military experience, five of the reserve divisions are more than one year old, and the remaining five are all more than half a year old.

It can be said that the overall strength of the Second Army is the highest among the Han troops at present, and it has even surpassed the First Army stationed in the capital.

Wang Sirui has soldiers, if he can be ruthless and bolder, he can directly transfer three reserve divisions from Shengjing to the south to take over part of the tasks of the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army, then these two armies will only need half a month at most to completely occupy Guangdong.

The remaining troops of the Second Army were also able to recover Jilin and Heilongjiang.

However, in this way, the strength of the Han army will be more dispersed, and once the foreigners send troops to intervene, Wang Sirui will lose several provinces overnight.

After all, the defenders of the city are all reserves, and the real elites are all in Shengjing, Jingshi, Shanxi, and Gansu, as well as the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army in the south.

Foreigners will not interfere for no reason, and the Germans, who are in the honeymoon period with Wang Sirui, will definitely not say a word at the meeting.

The abnormal behavior of the Germans made Wang Sirui guess that the Seven Kingdoms were likely to have reached an agreement, so they would intervene when their forces were most scattered and some strong crossbows were at the end.

But no matter what, the current Wang Sirui is indeed in a crisis, and if it is not handled properly, it will lead to a new war.

"My lord, the foreigners have sent an official letter, and they demand that the current compensation must be paid before the end of December." A staff officer walked in cautiously with a foreigner's official letter, and looked at the broken teacup on the ground, and was even more frightened.

"Urge! Urge! Urge! Urge a bird, hurry! He. Mother. , the incompetent Manchu Qing Dynasty, Lao Tzu led his brothers to win a battle with hard work, but let your turtle sons become a defeated country with a word, and they also signed this kind of humiliating treaty. Wang Sirui scolded angrily.

He did lose his mind a little, although Wang Sirui was trying hard to control himself.

But when he thought of his brothers who sacrificed so much, but the final result was still like that, Wang Sirui was very unwilling, and it was also one of the purposes of Wang Sirui's complete decision to oppose the Qing Dynasty.

"Go and tell Qiao Zhiyong that you are not allowed to give a penny to foreigners this time." Wang Sirui said to the staff officer.

Foreigners really regard Huaxia as their own home, do whatever they want?

"My lord, this is irrational, we don't have enough strength to contend with the foreigners now, once we completely tear our faces with the foreigners, we will completely lose the coastal areas, whether it is strategic or economic, this is very unfavorable to us." Wang Shizhen hurriedly dissuaded.

Without the navy, this is the eternal pain of the Han army, what can the army do if it is strong? Could it be that the army dared to swim across the sea to attack the enemy's homeland?

Once they completely fight with the foreigners, then the foreigners only need to send warships to block the port, or from time to time they will fire a few cannons at the coastal areas, and the losses will be their own things.

"For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has never bowed its head to other races, it was and still is." Wang Sirui's eyes were red.

…………

"You've already made a decision, and you're still asking me what to do? Besides, my opinion may not be much better than yours, or I wouldn't be here now. In a courtyard, Yuan Shikai was lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard basking in the sun, taking a sip of tea and saying to Wang Sirui beside him.

Although the evaluation of Yuan Shikai in history is not very good, it has to be denied that Yuan Shikai is indeed a generation of heroes, and many of his decisions have a long-term strategic vision, which Wang Sirui did not possess before.

Therefore, in the first year, Wang Sirui often came to seek Yuan Shikai's advice.

And Yuan Shikai did not hide the plan, but told Wang Sirui his opinions thoroughly according to Wang Sirui's description.

Listening to this answer, Wang Sirui smiled wryly, "It would be nice if there was a navy, so you don't have to look at the faces of foreigners." ”

"The navy can't be built in a day, and with your current national strength, you can't support a huge naval fleet. Moreover, in your current situation, it is impossible for those powers to sell you warships. The road to the Navy still has a long way to go. Yuan Shikai sighed and then continued:

"You are the most talented and courageous person I have ever met, and under your leadership, Huaxia has completed its transformation in just a few years. It's not as good as it was at its peak, but it's much stronger than it was three years ago. And now all this comes from you, from your wisdom, from your adventure.

Since before you could do it, now you have more troops, why worry? Since you have decided, then do it, as long as you always maintain a trace of sanity in your heart, with your current position, you will not fail. ”

Wang Sirui was suddenly stunned, yes, Yuan Shikai was right, he dared to fight and gamble before, but now that he is strong, why don't he dare?

Isn't the reason why foreigners dare to show off their might in front of themselves because they have a navy? As for the army, the Russians had less than 100,000 troops in the Far East, and the Japanese, although they were more numerous, could not support a larger battle in a short period of time.

Even if he tore face with the foreigners, he was absolutely sure that he would defeat the Russians and Japanese in a short time.

As for the navy, I don't, can't I not play with you? I don't believe you dare to bomb the coastal areas of China one by one.

"Gong Bao, I want to ask you to go out of the mountain to be the prime minister." After a long time, Wang Sirui said slowly.

Now let Yuan Shikai out, Wang Sirui is no longer afraid, Yuan Shikai has no army in his hands, and his original army has long been assimilated by Wang Sirui, so even Yuan Shikai, who is in power, still can't threaten Wang Sirui.

However, Yuan Shikai was slightly stunned, then shook his head, and refused Wang Sirui's invitation: "I have been in seclusion for three years, life here is very good, there is no need to worry about anything, I am not used to the deceitful life outside, you better ask for another master." ”

Yuan Shikai actually didn't want to go out of the mountain, but he knew very well that since Wang Sirui had already seen his ambition, now that Wang Sirui was in a big situation, he couldn't complete his ideals when he went out of the mountain.

The most important thing is that once he goes out, Wang Sirui will be very uneasy, and even his old friends will be affected by this. Therefore, Yuan Shikai chose to sacrifice himself in exchange for the careers of those friends and subordinates. (To be continued.) )
