"Sir, the British Consul Juerdian, the French Consul Pierre, the Russian Consul Sergei, the American Consul Sherlock, and the German Consul Lucas are here!" At this time, the housekeeper Wang Quan knocked on the door, walked in, and reported to Wang Xiao.

"The consuls of the five countries came together? What do they want to do? Jiang Xingguo frowned.

"What else can I do? It's nothing more than wanting us to accept it when we see it. However, the current West Sichuan is not what it was more than ten years ago. If we want to stop here, we'll have to make them pay a big enough price! A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Wang Xiao's eyes. More than ten years ago, he was forced to retreat to western Sichuan, which has always been a thorn in his heart. Now that the great powers want to repeat their old tricks, he will never agree. The current western Sichuan, whether it is economic strength or military strength, is no longer at the mercy of others.

"Don't worry, our army has only gone through preliminary mobilization. If the great powers dare to come hard, we will be able to arm at least a million troops! Jiang Xingguo replied loudly. Compared with the navy, the western Sichuan army is not good. But if it was to fight on land, Western Sichuan would really not be afraid of those powers. Their navy is all over the world, but they can't drive their warships to land to fight the Kawanishi Army, right?

"Hmmm! The army is our backbone, and whether we can straighten our backs depends on the army. The second phase of mobilization began secretly, and the Western Sichuan Army was expanded by 5 divisions. In terms of military expenses, I will pay in advance privately! Wang Xiao said.

"Yes. Handsome! Jiang Xingguo immediately received the order. 5 divisions, that's almost 00,000 people. Now that the strength of the Western Sichuan Army has been used to the limit, if there are more mobile troops of 100,000 people, then the strength of the Western Sichuan Army will be much more abundant.

"Wang Quan. Let the consuls of several countries go to the reception room, and I will meet them in a moment! Wang Xiao said.

"Yes, sir!" Wang Quan nodded and exited the study.

"Rejuvenate the country, order the front to intensify the offensive. How much we can gain in this battle is up to theirs. Even if we can't subvert the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we will never spit out the fat in our mouths again! Wang Xiao said.

Jiang Xingguo nodded. Immediately went back to the staff headquarters to convey the order.

Wang Xiao stood in front of the huge map of China in the study, looking at the posture of friend and foe marked on it, and his face was stern. In this war, western Sichuan not only annexed Qinghai and Gansu provinces. It also controlled Shaanxi, Hubei and Yunnan-Guizhou, and almost occupied half of China. The only flaw is that there is no access to the sea. If you can get Guangxi in your hands, then this is perfect.

"Humph! Damn foreign devils. One day, I will let you know how powerful we Chinese are! Wang Xiao muttered. Then he walked out of the study and went to the reception room to meet with the consuls of several countries.

In the reception room, the consuls of the five countries were talking loudly. Talking about the object. It's the current state of the war. In Chengdu, they can feel the strength of western Sichuan even more. in their eyes. It was inevitable that the Qing would lose the war. And what they have to do is to reduce the losses of the Qing country as much as possible. As much as possible to help the Qing state maintain its rule in China. Except, of course, the German consul Lucas. The Sichuan Army won one victory after another, which made Germany, which was almost an ally of Sichuan West, very happy. A strong ally was located in the east of the world, which was of great help to Germany.

"Hi gentlemen. Do you think that the current army in western Sichuan is considered a first-rate level if it is placed in Europe? First class or second rate? French Consul Pierre said.

"It should be at least second-rate! Their table on the battlefield was almost perfect. Such an army is difficult to find even in Europe! Consul Zhu Erdian said. In recent years, Zhu Erdian has conducted a very profound study of western Sichuan, especially the military strength of western Sichuan. He concluded that if Kawani's near-zero navy was not counted, Kawani would be a first-class power in Europe in terms of military strength and economic strength.

A smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the German consul Lucas, and the establishment of the Western Sichuan Army was indispensable for the help of Germany. It can even be said that the Western Sichuan Army was completely subordinate to the German Army. It's just that the western Sichuan Army has made some kind of improvements according to its own national conditions. However, this improvement not only did not weaken the combat effectiveness of the western Sichuan army, but on the contrary, it made their combat strength even more enhanced. In terms of the armament and equipment of the Western Sichuan Army, it is no worse than the German Army. Even in the armament of heavy weapons such as artillery and heavy machine guns, it was stronger than the German army. In particular, the mortars of the Western Sichuan Army, which can attack the enemy in the trenches, were recognized by the German Army. Now, the German Army is also being reequipped with this weapon. Lucas even believes that now the West Sichuan Army is no weaker than the German Army. Of course, in his mind, the German Army is still the first in the world!

"What do you think, Lord Lucas?" Pierre asked. Although the vast majority of French people have been haunted by the loss of the Second French Empire at the hands of the Germans, they have to admit that the German Army is indeed the strongest in Europe.

"From the current situation, the West Sichuan Army is no weaker than our German Army. Of course, this refers to the elite troops among them! Lucas replied.

"Shhh Everyone couldn't help but gasp, they didn't expect Lucas's evaluation of the Western Sichuan Army to be so high.

"Lord Lucas, you're not kidding, are you? Has the army in western Sichuan reached the first-class level in Europe? U.S. Consul Sherlock asked in surprise. As we all know, the U.S. Army has always been a shortcoming for them. Hearing Lucas's evaluation of the Western Sichuan Army was so high that Sherlock had a hard time believing it.

Lucas nodded earnestly. Anyway, it's just his own opinion, and as for whether others will believe it, it's not in his scope of consideration.

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the Russian consul Sergei, who did not agree with Lucas's words, but he did not refute them either. Russia's million-dollar standing army, if fully mobilized, can even arm millions of troops, has always been supported by European steam rollers, they simply did not take the German Army, which is known as the world's strongest army, into account, and naturally will not look at the students of the German Army, the Western Sichuan Army.

"Handsome!" Suddenly, the voice of a guard came from outside the door. The consuls of several countries in the reception room immediately got up.

Then, Wang Xiao walked in, his face was full of smiles, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

"Welcome, my friends." Wang Xiao warmly shook hands with the consuls of several countries. When it was the turn of the German consul Lucas, he gave a big hug, showing the relationship between Kawanishi and Germany to the fullest. The consuls of several other countries couldn't help but frown.

Everyone sat down, and the servants immediately brought tea, and then withdrew from the reception room.

"Consuls, I don't know what is the matter with you coming to me today?" After Wang Xiao took a sip of tea, he asked. Although, he had already guessed the meaning of these people.

"Your Excellency, first of all, congratulations to the Western Sichuan Army on its victory on the battlefield. However, the wars of the past few days have already threatened the interests of all countries. Therefore, we especially want to know when Kawanishi is going to end this war and restore peace to the whole of China! Zhu Erdian asked. The British Empire is now in full swing, with global influence. It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for him to ask questions.

"Your Excellency, this war was not provoked by us. We, in western Sichuan, are just fighting back in self-defense. However, the enemy has the right to provoke war, but it is up to us to decide when to end it! Wang Xiao said solemnly.

"Your Excellency, then, the Patrol Envoy. When does Kawanishi plan to end the war? Zhu Erdian pressed step by step.

"It's hard to say this, it depends on the situation on the front line. For example, take Beijing or occupy the whole country. Then the war will naturally end! Wang Xiao replied.

Zhu Erdian and several other consuls frowned. If Kawanishi's ambition really wants to replace the Manchus through this war, then this is definitely not a good thing for the countries.

"Your Excellency, now that the Qing Kingdom has been punished, I think it's time to end the war. After all, it is the Chinese people who suffer in the war! French Consul Pierre interjected.

"Your Excellency Pierre, is this your own intention or the meaning of the French government?" Wang Xiao stared at Pierre tightly, and the sunken eye sockets burst out with terrifying brilliance.

"This, of course, this is what our government meant!" Pierre's voice stuttered slightly. Obviously, Wang Xiao's terrifying gaze shocked him.

"Your Excellency, we of the British Empire mean the same thing! Our countries have a large number of interests in China, and war will damage the interests of our countries. Therefore, we hope that the western Sichuan and Qing countries will be restored to peace. If there is a dispute, it can be resolved through negotiation, and there is no need to resort to force! Zhu Erdian also said.

"Your Excellency, this is what our Russian government meant. The Russian government does not want anything to happen that endangers Russia's interests, and if necessary, Russia will send troops to defend its interests! Russian Consul Sergei also spoke. The persecution in the words is very strong.

Now, only the American consul Sherlock and the German consul Lucas are left unindicated.

Wang Xiao turned to Lucas, but Lucas gave him a helpless look. After all, Germany is still a Western country, and it is clear that it cannot be separated from the entire Western world. At best, they don't meddle, but they can't stop other countries.

Wang Xiao took a deep breath, and then said: "In this case, if the countries start a war against Sichuanxi, Sichuanxi will accompany them to the end!" ”
