Chapter 240: What to Do?

In the face of this sudden news, everything that Wang Lin had already planned was completely disrupted for a while, in addition to shock, there was also a trace of incredibleness, of course, the rest was not understood.

Wang Lin couldn't guess anyway, what was he going to South Africa for? According to Wang Lin's judgment on the style of his actions in later generations, it is impossible for him to go to South Africa without any reason. And Wang Lin didn't believe it, saying that he would go to South Africa for no reason.

Just when Wang Lin was extremely shocked and had no solution, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and soon after, the door of Wang Lin's office was pushed open, Wang Lin looked up and saw that it was the people he had asked Yang Zhiping to shout, Yang Zhiping stood outside the office with interest after everyone entered the office, and closed the office door tightly. and personally waited outside the office, strictly forbidding anyone to enter until they had finished the meeting.

"Your Majesty!" After Tang San and the others entered the office, they saw that Wang Lin had a gloomy look on his face, and it was not easy to ask directly, so they had to pretend that they didn't know anything, first greeted loudly, and then waited for Wang Lin's speech.

Wang Lin looked up at these people in front of him, these are the current high-level personnel of Wang Lin Group, and they also know more about some of Wang Lin's previous secrets. Especially with regard to the case of Boer aid, the arms case, no matter what country it is, as long as it involves an arms case, it must be a shocking case.

If you want to hide it from the people below, it is not a difficult task, as long as you do it secretly. However, it is basically impossible to hide it from some high-level personnel, and even if Wang Lin wants to bury such a huge arms sales case, it is impossible to hide it cleanly. Because this involves not only inventory problems, but also manpower and transportation problems.

As early as after knowing that he couldn't contain the fire, Wang Linsuo's surname didn't plan to hide this matter, but just told a few high-level personnel, which can be regarded as giving them a breath, at least letting them know that Wang Lin still attaches more importance to them. And now, people who knew that Wang Lin had made arms sales to foreign countries were all standing in front of Wang Lin.

"Do you remember that arms sale a few years ago?" Wang Lin didn't know how to speak, and after thinking about it, the surname Suo guided them and asked them to come up with it themselves.

"The emperor is talking about the arms sale to Germany?" Li Ping, Premier of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, asked with some doubts, and the only thing that made Wang Lin so interested in foreign arms sales was the arms sold to the Germans. Li Ping secretly wondered in his heart: Could it be that the Germans are doing something again? No, if the Germans really did something, there was no reason why they should not know.

"No, it's the arms sale to South Africa." Wang Lin shook his head anxiously, it seems that it is a bit difficult to let them say it directly, it is better to say it directly.

Moreover, at that time, he only told them that they were going to sell arms to foreign countries, as for who the buyer was, except for Tang San and Yuan Shikai, no one knew, but according to Wang Lin's guess, which of these people under him did not have a shrewd mind? In light of the international situation at that time, they should have guessed who they had sold arms to.

Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say. This is a rule that has been in China since ancient times, an unwritten rule, but a rule that many people have to abide by.

"South Africa?" Yang Yuquan said with a slight surprise.

If there is really someone here who does not know who Wang Lin sold this batch of arms to, then this person must be Yang Yuquan, as the chief of the Air Force, Yang Yuquan spends more time in his office and air base than at home. For so many years, as always, he has worked hard to complete the task assigned to him by Wang Lin, so to say that Yang Yuquan does not know the outcome of this matter, the credibility is still high.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the arms sale in South Africa?" Li Ping, who has been the prime minister of the Ministry of the Interior for several years, is also relatively pertinent in handling things, unlike a group of angry young people in the military, who will raise their fists when they are dissatisfied. Li Ping reacted quickly, and no longer pretended to be confused at the moment, and hurriedly asked.

"There's nothing wrong with that arms sale, it's people who have the problem." Wang Lin seemed to have a feeling of bitterness that he couldn't say, and he didn't know how to say it. Because from the time he received the secret message to the present, he didn't know whether his guess was right or not, this was the first time Wang Lin had done something so unconfidently, if it was in the past, Wang Lin would have told the ins and outs of this matter and his own handling opinions in one breath, and it would be like now, and he couldn't say it for a long time.

"People?" Now Li Ping is even more puzzled, what can happen to this person? Could it be that the quality of the munitions is not up to par, and the opposing soldiers were accidentally injured on the way to use it? But it doesn't seem to be their business, the arms have been sold for so long, and every use may cause the chance that the next use of the arms will fail, if the maintenance is more diligent, it is nothing, but in South Africa, who will have a lot of time to repair the arms?

Perhaps it is the reason why Li Ping, the prime minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has been working for a long time, and the things he handles are basically domestic affairs, so his first reaction when encountering an accident is to think about the accident and not think about other problems.

Wang Lin felt Li Ping's doubts, and also felt the puzzlement of several students, and at the moment Wang Lin didn't know what to do, did he really want to do that? Although the time can be allowed, but the conditions seem to be not very ripe, no one can guarantee that when the conditions are not ripe, do something that shocks the world, will there be an accident?

It turns out that the lord of a country is really not so easy to do, and the appearance of the little angry youth before has long disappeared from Wang Lin's face, and then all kinds of worries followed. Anyway, let's tell them the truth first.

"Long Yuhui just sent me a secret telegram, a soldier called Ben, who saw our armored troops, but was captured by the soldiers accompanying him. However, Long Yuhui had seen this soldier on the battlefield in South Africa, and they seemed to have met each other. Wang Lin said helplessly, this situation can be regarded as an emergency, Wang Lin did not expect that before leaving, he would hit the British, but it caused such a trouble.

"Oh? So, what we helped the Boers, the British probably already knew? Li Ping nodded as if understanding, but then his face sank.

The British are still the overlords of this world, and although they are still trapped in the Boer battlefield at this time, the British at this time do not seem to be far from victory. The war, which had lasted five years, had already left the huge British Empire feeling a little weak, but in order to maintain the hegemony of the British Empire and all the interests of the British Empire in South Africa, no matter how much money and time was spent, it was necessary to win the war.

Just like the United States fought Iraq in later generations, the Americans did not covet Iraq's oil, let alone because they fancied anything in Iraq. To put it simply, the United States is trying to maintain its position as the world hegemon, and in this war, the military spending of the United States has long been enough to buy all the oil in the underground of Iraq.

Sometimes politics is such a thing, the money spent is not proportional to what you get, but in order to maintain your position, you have to force it.

"Now it doesn't matter if the British know it or not, and even if they do, what can they do? The Anglo-Boer War, which had lasted for five years, had already brought Britain down, and if any country could give the British a hammer at this time, I believe that the British would collapse with a bang. Tang San seemed to have a thorough understanding of international affairs, and he seemed to have a clear understanding of the British spending on the Boer battlefield and the energy they put in. However, Tang San didn't mean to stop and took two steps forward, standing in front of a world map in Wang Lin's office, staring at a certain corner of the map with his eyes, and slowly spoke:

"The important thing is, what is Ben doing in South Africa?"

Maybe Tang San and the others were influenced by Wang Lin's thoughts, these people, since they followed Wang Lin, they began to gradually hate Yue Ben from their subconscious, and even listed Yue Ben as an enemy in their hearts, at this time, hearing Wang Lin mentioned Yu himself, Tang San quickly looked at the problem to the point.

At this time, Li Ping suddenly realized that the Ministry of the Interior is in charge of various domestic affairs, and dealing with foreign forces is a matter for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even if there is a problem that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cannot solve, Wang Lin will be responsible, or in other words, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of the Interior are equally famous, but one is in charge and the other is outside.

In short, the current Chinese Empire is a country with the final say in three ministries, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defense, and all departments at home and abroad are under the control and management of these three departments.

"Could it be that the students sent by this school to study abroad in the UK [***]? And then sent to the battlefield in South Africa for an internship? Tang Fenghu thought about it and said.

"Well, this may not be without a surname, but I think with the arrogance of the British, it is impossible for Yu himself to join the British army and go to the battlefield in South Africa to participate in the war, right?" Tang San spread his hands and did not deny Tang Fenghu's words, but at the same time expressed his opinion.

Judging from Wang Lin's expression at this time, it is not difficult for them to see that Wang Lin is also unpredictable about this matter at this time, even if they have any opinions, it is not easy for them to speak before Wang Lin makes a decision. After all, everyone is still relatively conservative about this kind of thing, even the militants in the army, who shouted before the war, and once he was asked to suggest war to the above, there was no sound, but after the war, those people seemed to have returned to the past, still shouting and screaming.

"Your Majesty, what do you think about this matter?" Tang San thought about it, but decided to ask Wang Lin, Wang Lin didn't speak, they could only be in a hurry here, as long as they had the main direction, they would have a goal to do things below.
