Chapter 257: Betraying the Kindred

(Thank you for the reward of the book friend Nine Heavens Yanyu and the glorious charter!) )

When Wang Yuze's solemn expression came, Zhou Rongxuan was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Yuze, do you want to fight with the United States?" The United States is not easy to deal with, although their army is very weak and their navy is just starting. {Please search in Baidu, read the first full-text book} But the industrial strength of the United States is several times that of ours, and if we really go to war, we may not have a chance of winning! "Zhou Rongxuan has lived in the United States for decades, and he is naturally very clear about the strength of American terror. Although the United States is not strong militarily at present, if the United States goes all out to develop armaments, China will not be able to match the United States at all. Coupled with the fact that there are thousands of miles of separation in the Pacific Ocean, it is simply impossible for China to defeat the United States.

Yang Hua and Pu Xu were also shocked, they didn't expect Wang Yuze to have such ambitions. Especially Pu Xu, who has not had a director for many years, was invited to the banquet by Wang Yuze, and he did not shy away from talking about national affairs, which made him very excited. Hearing Zhou Rongxuan say that the United States is strong, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Don't worry! We are not going to go to all-out war with the United States, now is not the time. However, in the next three years, we are directly afraid that there will be some friction and even skirmishes between us and the United States, and in this case, the situation of the West China Group in the United States will be more embarrassing. Although the Americans will not blatantly attack the Xihua Group, it is still very possible to secretly make some stumbling blocks. Therefore, it is better for Xihua Group to withdraw to China as soon as possible! Wang Yuze explained. At present, China is not an opponent of the United States economically and industrially, but Wang Yuze is sure that he will catch up with the United States within 10 years. Moreover, China's military strength is much stronger than that of the United States, and the United States may not start an all-out war with China for the interests of the Pacific.

"That's good!" Zhou Rongxuan relieved his mind at this time, he was really afraid that Wang Yuze would be carried away by the victory and wanted to attack the United States! "But, Yu Ze, what's going on? Tell me about it! Zhou Rongxuan asked again.

"Let's let the Chief of the General Staff say it! The specific plan was drawn up by the General Staff! Wang Yuze said.

"Old Zhou! Specifically, our rise will inevitably lead to a conflict between us and the United States over the interests of the Pacific. Although there will be no war now, it will be very difficult to say in the future. To do this, we have to get a head start. We are too far away from the United States, so we have to get a forward base not far from the United States! Xiong Wu said with a smile.

"Hawaii! Do you want Hawaii? Hawaii has become a sphere of influence in the United States, and there is now a strong call in the United States for Hawaii to become the 50th state of the United States. If we want to compete with the United States for Hawaii, I am afraid that it will cause a strong backlash from the United States! Zhou Rongxuan said. The importance of Hawaii is undeniable. Moreover, now that Hawaii is in the hands of the U.S.-backed Republic of Hawaii, how can China be allowed to take prey?

"Don't worry, Old Zhou. The United States does not have the strength to confront us at all, and as long as we take Hawaii and create a fait accompli, the Americans will have nothing to do with us. War with us? Then we don't mind beating them to the ground. Their army, we only need to send two divisions to completely defeat their national army. Their navy, those 'Indiana-class' combat power, and comprehensive combat power may not even be comparable to our heavy cruisers! Xiong Wu said disdainfully. The current U.S. Army has only 100,000 men. And the combat effectiveness is low, where is the opponent of the battle-hardened Chinese Army. Pick two divisions at random, and you can easily defeat the US Army. As for the navy, although the United States has a good manufacturing strength, it has long lagged far behind Europe in the design of warships, and even China is not weaker than the United States in this regard. The current strength of the Chinese Navy is simply not something that the United States can deal with. Moreover, the U.S. Navy has only one battleship on the west coast of the United States, and the Panama Canal is not yet navigable, and it will take a lot of time for the U.S. Navy to reinforce their Pacific Fleet. And this will also give the Chinese Navy a chance to defeat them. Therefore, the United States at this stage is not at all worried. Once China gains Hawaii and gains a foothold there, it will not be so easy for the United States to expand into the Pacific.

Zhou Rongxuan saw that Xiong Wu was so sure, so he had to say no more. He also knew what would happen to China if it gained Hawaii. As for Yang Hua and Pu Xu, they didn't speak at all. Besides, listening to what Xiong Wu said is also the head of the way, naturally there is no need to worry about it anymore.

"Prince Ding, after the establishment of the new dynasty, I am afraid that your title will not be kept. However, I will not be stingy and will give you a knighthood. It's just because you don't have any credit, and our tradition in western Sichuan has always been to distribute titles according to merit. So, please understand this! Wang Yuze said. He didn't have any ill feelings towards Pu Xu, the wreck of the Manchu clan, and he was his father-in-law, so he naturally had to respect it.

"Yu Ze, I'm fine, I don't need special care at all! Over the years, the Qing Dynasty has led China astray, and I am ashamed of the people of the world! Pu Xu said. Titles and the like, he really didn't pay much attention to it. As Wang Yuze's father-in-law, he will be the ruler of the empire in the future, who would dare to underestimate him?

"That's good! However, I heard that there are some Manchus who don't seem to have recognized the form clearly, and still want to go against the sky and restore the Manchu Dynasty. Does my father-in-law know about this? Wang Yuze asked.

Pu Xu couldn't help but shudder, although Wang Yuze was smiling when he said this, but he had a chilling feeling, and couldn't help but secretly scold those guys who didn't stop, this is to force millions of people to the end of the road! However, he really didn't know the specifics, because he became Wang Yuze's father-in-law, and the other Manchus automatically excluded him. In this regard, Pu Xu didn't care at all, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was still there, wasn't he also rejected by these guys? But now, he is still beautiful, and those guys have become lost dogs.

"Yu Ze, I really don't know about this. However, I will arrange for someone to inquire and let you know as soon as there is any news! Pu Xu said. His current interests have been tied to Wang Yuze. Although he is a member of the Manchu clan, if the Manchu restoration is successful, I am afraid that the first person to kill him will be a traitor to the Manchus. Therefore, he did not want the Manchu restoration to succeed!

"That's good! When the time comes, the Military Intelligence Agency, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will cooperate with you! I don't want any mess at the enthronement ceremony! Wang Yuze said. Now the enthronement ceremony is a first-class event, and if it is destroyed, it will be enough to make him so angry that he wants to kill!

After that, they talked about some other things, and they did not leave the palace until late at night.

Prince Shiduo has been very unsatisfactory recently. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and although it did not kill him, it greatly reduced his family fortune. Of course, this is already much better than those who have their property confiscated and even shot. However, Shi Duo was very dissatisfied with this foolish life, and he was bent on returning to the old life.

Prince Shiduo was undoubtedly the first person among the Manchu magnates to make friends with western Sichuan. It's just that because of the intervention of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Pu Xu picked up a bargain, otherwise he would have become Wang Yuze's father-in-law, where would it be Pu Xu's turn to get that junior! However, Shi Duo did not give up, he knew that there were some people in Beijing who were plotting against him, and if he told Wang Yuze the news, Wang Yuze would definitely look at him differently. When the time comes, the soaring glory of his world is just around the corner! Although he is in his fifties, his love for power has not diminished by half a point. It's just that he knows the current situation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is completely finished, and there is no possibility of restoration, and messing around with those with bad intentions will only put himself in it. Moreover, he does not mind exchanging the lives of these people for his glory and wealth.

On the evening of September 2, a simple carriage entered through the back door of Prince Li's mansion, and an old man with gray hair and beard walked out of the carriage and was quietly introduced into Prince Li's study by the housekeeper of Prince Li's mansion.

Prince Li had already been waiting a little impatiently, and when the old man came in, he immediately urged: "You are here, how are things going?" ”

"Slave Ronglu see the prince!" The old man saluted to Sedor, but was pulled up by Sedor. This old man is Rong Lu, the official to the commander of the infantry army, and among the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he is also a first-class magnate.

"Rest assured, the minions have successfully penetrated their interior, and now, they have completely trusted the minions. As long as the prince sets a date for the action, we will be able to defeat them all! Rong Lu said with a smile. Although he was nearly sixty years old, he was also a person who could not bear loneliness, and was bewitched by Prince Li, and immediately planned to use the blood of other Manchurians to forge their glory and wealth.

"Okay, let's go find Prince Ding right away. Lest you have too many dreams at night! Prince Li said. Now that their status is no longer what it used to be, if they want to see Wang Yuze, it is even more impossible, so they can only find Pu Xu to find a way. Although they are all unhappy and unwilling to share the credit with Pu Xu, there is no way to do it!

The two quietly got into a simple carriage and drove to Prince Ding's mansion in the dark night.
