"Werther is worried!"

When the almost arbitrary words sounded in the governor's office, Tang Haoran stood up and said slowly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"If that's not bad, our plan should have largely succeeded! ……”

Plan!

The plan in Tang Haoran's mouth is to "lead the water to the south", but in fact, the purpose of this plan is very simple, which is not only to shift the goal of Russia's expansion from China to Southeast Asia, but more precisely, to turn around the Spanish colony of the Philippines.

Philippines!

If according to the course of history, next year, the Philippines will be occupied by the United States, for China, the United States is undoubtedly unacceptable to get involved in Asia, but Tang Haoran, who has just begun the layout of the South Seas, is powerless to stop it, after all, Britain will never acquiesce to its expansion in the South Seas again, even if the expansion of Borneo has actually touched the bottom line acceptable to the British. If you want to use the Spanish-American War to expand again, you may replace Russia and become a thorn in the side of the British.

Therefore, at this time, the only thing that can be done is to be patient, and on the other hand, the involvement of the United States in the Philippines is undoubtedly not in China's interests.

If you are powerless to stop the expansion of a new empire, then bring in an old empire that has declined!

Is there a more suitable object than Russia?

Since war with Russia is inevitable, then the cession of Japan in the future is also a cession, and the addition of a Philippines is also acceptable!

More importantly, Russia's expansion in Southeast Asia will undoubtedly further intensify the conflict of interests between Britain and Russia, and thus allow Britain to further strengthen its ties with the Northeast.

And the beginning of this "disaster to the south" plan. It is to use the "Nanyang Republic" as an opportunity. Use the lure to the advantage. To lure Russia's elites into turning their attention to Southeast Asia, where returns are more lucrative, rather than investing in places such as Northeast China, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia, where returns are large and returns are small.

"If nothing else, Witt should be aware of his inability to stop the royal court and all classes from wanting to try Southeast Asia, so he is desperate to appease us first when everything can be redeemed. so as to avoid a complete fall in the future to the British ......"

The corners of his lips raised slightly, Tang Haoran's face had a hint of pride, and even in the depths of his heart, there was a sense of pleasure of revenge, no matter what, under the guidance of step by step, Russia is moving towards the point of "death", of course, their death is completely based on their own greed.

"Ran Shuai, does this mean that Russia is likely to move south in the near future?"

Recently going south!

After thinking for a moment, Tang Haoran shook his head. glanced at Tang Zhaoyi:

"Now, they probably won't do that. They should be waiting for their chance, they won't rush into Southeast Asia rashly, and if that's right, they should start preparing now for the next move! ”

Let's hope so!

If the Russians are smart enough, they should wait until next year's Spanish-American War, taking advantage of the Spaniards' inability to look eastward, to attack the Philippines before the Americans and seize the Philippines, which is the best choice for Russia!

Of course, this is also the best option for China, when Russia "snatches the Philippines from the mouths of the Americans", an "anti-Russian international coalition" will be formed, and at that time, China will only need to act as a "pawn of the imperialist powers" and cut off the "bear claws" of Russia's invasion of the Pacific Ocean with the diplomatic and financial support of Britain and the United States and other countries. And this alliance is exactly what I need, and I can even say that I have been working hard for several years!

Well, everything went well!

In other words, everything is like a script, silently advancing in a direction favorable to China, and when the big history is stirred by that butterfly, it is slowly "back on track".

But is it really that simple?

With a cigar between his fingers, Tang Haoran silently walked back and forth in the office, and when the soft rubber soles came into contact with the cork floor, the sound was faint, and this silence allowed him to really calm down and think about the problem.

Sensing the change in Da Shuai's demeanor, Tang Zhaoyi didn't even dare to breathe loudly, just followed Da Shuai's figure with his eyes, although he didn't know what Da Shuai was thinking, but out of his understanding of Da Shuai, he knew that he must have noticed something that had been ignored by everyone before.

Until now, for the handsome man in front of him, Tang Zhaoyi will always give birth to a kind of "unpredictable" ability, always keenly aware of the direction of the future, so as to guide the situation in his own favor, this is the case in domestic affairs, and even more so in international affairs, with such a weak national strength, to make a first-class power like Britain make concessions in some places, and even be willing to be an ally of the Northeast, such an ability is by no means possessed by ordinary people.

Could it be that something has been overlooked in this matter?

Is everything really going well?

asked rhetorically in his heart, Tang Haoran, who was standing by the window, narrowed his eyes into a slit, for Sergei? In fact, as a Chinese in the 21st century, perhaps diplomats and military strategists in the Soviet Russian era can be said like a few treasures, but for the figures of imperial Russia, unless they are specialized scholars, who can know much?

However, it doesn't matter, you may not know about the person in history, but there are some places, there are some people who have something in common - who is Werther?

In the simplest sentence, he is a standard imperialist, and since he is an imperialist, then his so-called commitment may need to be greatly discounted, just like the imperialist who is most familiar to the Chinese people in another time and space, Churchill, how many words of that person's words are true? For those standard imperialists, their words have never been credible, for them they have always been interests first!

If it was just for the sake of going south, how could Werther need to make this endorsement, and what kind of conspiracy was hidden behind it?

Taking a deep puff of the cigar, he let the smoke wander between his throats, and when he exhaled the smoke, Tang Haoran, who was frowning, moved his gaze outward, and finally, he withdrew his gaze again, and then walked around for a while.

"I don't think it's as simple as we thought!"

After spitting out these words, Tang Haoran stared at the leafy official residence street, at this time the sun had already set, and the time was not early.

"Werther is always worried, but his reassurance of us may mean a more sinister intention!"

Looking back at Tang Zhaoyi, Tang Haoran, who had a serious expression, said in a deep voice.

"Perhaps, the agreement we reached with the British is extremely secret, but at least there is one thing that our preparation plans cannot be completely concealed, such as the navy, after all, it is impossible for us to put all the warships in the warehouse, so I personally prefer that the reason why Werther wants to build the so-called trust is not so much to build trust as to buy time!"

Time!

That's right, it's time!

Werther is buying time for Russia!

The so-called "southward movement" is only one part of the process, and the ambitious imperialists by the standards of Werther do not know that when Russia moves south, that is, when Russia and Britain are heading for all-out confrontation, Britain, which is powerless to block France, Germany, and Russia at the same time in Europe and Asia, will inevitably need an ally, and this ally is only China.

And what does this mean?

This means that in the future, China is very likely to use war means to cut off the Russians' southward footsteps with the support of the British, just like the British support for Turkey, the lessons of history make Werther never sit idly by and watch all this happen, he needs to buy time for Russia, or rather, buy time for the "connection" of the empire, if the Russo-Japanese War has brought any inspiration to Russia, I am afraid that Russia must build the Trans-Siberian Railway at any cost, linking Asia with the European mainland as one, Only in this way can the world's largest empire be maintained as a whole.

"Witt's overture most likely means that he is buying time for Russia!"

Spit out a puff of smoke, Tang Haoran walked to the globe, turned the globe, and swiped his fingers from west to east in the position of the Russian Empire, until it reached the position of the Far East, and then stopped the globe.

"And it's understandable that time is running out for us!"

There are two sides to everything, and the other side is not just trying to build a railway, but after the railway is built, what choice will Russia, which has completed the "imperial integration", make?

This is undoubtedly the most worrying thing, what is the easiest way for countries to deal with threats at a time when imperialism is rampant? It is to solve this threat through war!

In other words, instead of being dissipated by Werther's overtures, the clouds of war have thickened the clouds over East Asia because of his performance, and it can even be said that the situation in the Northeast has become more tense than in the past.

"Ran Shuai, what do you mean ......?"

But it was just an instant, Tang Zhaoyi understood the meaning of Dashuai's words, Werther's overture was just "Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang", realizing Werther's "poisonous plan", he only felt a cold sweat break out on his back, and he said after a while.

"This, Ran Shuai, this, how is this good!"

This kind of thinking about buying time is almost equivalent to the signal of war, and in the face of this sudden, and even the most direct signal of war, Tang Zhaoyi's whole person suddenly became nervous, so much so that he stammered a little when he spoke. (To be continued.) )
