When receiving the news of the bombardment of Incheon Port by the Beiyang Naval Division, Yang Feng was entertaining the visiting British Minister to China, Sir Ogne, on the Nautilus, and he traveled all the way to Taiwan to help in the war, which somewhat baffled the British, you must know that the Japanese were the main investment objects of British businessmen, although compared with the original history, the public bonds they sold in Britain can be described as bleak, but after all, they also sold more than 10 million pounds.

This point is actually to Yang Feng's head, firstly, his public opinion attack on the Japanese among the British, more or less also has a dislike for Japan, and secondly, the British tycoons are now rich to invest in oil, automobiles, agricultural machinery and other popular industries, even if there is a British zhengfu to help sell, a war investment with unpredictable outcome is not very sought after.

Especially in the original history, the main supporters of the Japanese in this war were actually Jewish consortiums, but now these Jewish consortiums are in deep collusion with Yang Feng, and this guy has more than once vaguely revealed that if China and Japan go to war, he does not rule out going back to help his motherland, which also makes Rothschild less confident in whether the Japanese can win this war, so it is not surprising that the Japanese do not sell their public bonds well.

"General Luang Weli, it looks like your students are doing a good job! It was as if the students of Colonel Engels had suffered a crushing defeat at their hands and were now in the poor Japanese Army at the port of Incheon. Yang Feng took the telegram from Caiyi's sister, glanced at it, and then gloated and handed it to Lang Weili on the side.

"Although I don't like Admiral Ding and his pipe bands, I have to admit that the technical level of these people is still worthy of recognition." Looking at the telegram, Lang Weili said.

"General, you don't need to be obsessed with this point, you have to understand that China is a big country, she was already the ruler of the East more than a thousand years ago, even if it has declined in modern times, the arrogance in her bones is not comparable to the dwarf who has just climbed out of the barbaric era, she can't accept that her army is commanded by a foreigner, even if it is temporary, even if it is formal, it is about the honor of a country." Yang Feng said casually.

Luang Weili shrugged and didn't speak.

"Yang, do you like this zhengfu now?" Ogne smiled and changed the subject.

"No, I hate this zhengfu, but that doesn't stop me from helping him, just like you don't like Earl Roseberry, but if England is invaded at this time, won't you help him?" Yang Feng said, of course he understood what this guy meant.

"Sir, I know what you mean, I also understand the British policy in the Far East, believe me, my actions will not have any effect on your strategy, and I also dislike those whom Her Majesty does not like.

Building a fortress in the Far East to stop the Russians is also what I want to do, but the object of our investment is different, although I chose China for a long time because it is my motherland, but I also do not think that your choice is correct, the Japanese have never been an object that should be supported.

What I'm saying next may make you feel a little uncomfortable, but it's a heartfelt quote from someone who has tens of millions of pounds in assets in the UK.

Japan is an island country, they don't have any resources, they are even inferior to Britain in this regard, they have no steel, no oil, only very little coal, and even not enough food to eat, such a country wants to turn into industrialization, there is no other choice but to expand, I think as an Englishman you should have enough understanding of this.

Maybe you think they will be satisfied if they get North Korea, but I think that getting North Korea will really put them on the road of expansion, and people who have eaten the first bite of delicious food will be eager to eat the second bite, and when they get North Korea, they will have their eyes on Northeast China, and at this time there will indeed be what you want, but what will be the result?

If Japan wins, they will get the Northeast, which has enough resources to support its expansion, and then Britain will have to face an emerging power in the Far East that is several times stronger than China now, and then they will be interested in your interests in China, and if you don't want to go to war, you have to retreat step by step until you can no longer retreat, and then there will be a war, a war between teachers and their best students, and there is more than one teacher who has been picked off by students in history.

If they lose the confrontation with Russia, then the Russians will realize their plan of Yellow Russia, and then get everything they want from outside the border to the south, it will be a nightmare for the British, so to support Japan you will get two big wars, but one sooner and one later. Yang Feng said.

"But what if we choose China? It's a huge empire with 10 million square kilometers of land. Ogner said with a smile, the rest of his words naturally don't need to be said, everyone is a smart person, there is no need to say it too clearly.

"China is different, in the core idea of this country, there has never been the word expansion, whether it is now or before, it has never been, this country from commoners to bureaucrats, and even hates those monarchs with expansionist ideas, read the history books of China and you will find that any monarch with expansionist ideas is invariably branded as a tyrant, and they would rather shed more blood to overthrow this tyrant than support him to expand his territory.

You can look at the history of Emperor Yang of Sui, he is one of the few ambitious emperors in Chinese history, he also has the ability to realize his ideals, but his people oppose his ambitions, the three expeditions to Goryeo killed and wounded only a million people, his people can't stand it, and end his rule with a rebellion that swept the whole country, and the war he launched cannot even be regarded as foreign expansion, because his goal is only to regain the land that originally belonged to China from Goryeo, What's even more ridiculous is that his people paid the price of tens of millions of lives in order to overthrow the emperor, who killed a million people in the war, isn't it ridiculous?

This is the Chinese.

This nation is a pure farming people, just like sheep, if it were not for the wolves to break in, they would never stand up their horns, in their opinion the life of bowing their heads and grazing is the happiest, if a sheep stands up and tells their compatriots, there is something more delicious than grass in this world, they will not hesitate to expel this dangerous fellow from the flock, in order to maintain their own good life of grazing, they even developed a perfect theory of grazing.

I really can't think of any danger in such a people. Yang Feng spread his hands and said with a smile.

Ogne also smiled, of course, Yang Feng's words could not change Britain's foreign policy at once, but they could give it a driving force to deviate.

"Sir, you can help me tell Count Rothberry that I will never let the Japanese win this war, this is a matter of principle, and of course I do not ask your country for any direct help, to be honest, it seems to me that it is not difficult to defeat a small country like this." Yang Feng continued.

"You can rest assured that Britain is neutral in this war." Ogne said hurriedly.

While they were talking, the Beiyang Naval Division had finished the shelling of Incheon, the port had been completely destroyed, the raging flames were full of fragmented Japanese corpses, more than half of the more than 6,000 people of the Sixth Brigade were killed or wounded, and more importantly, all the supplies were almost burned.

And on the sea in the distance, the ships of the Beiyang Naval Division are dragging the captured Hiei and the completely destroyed Yangwei in the naval battle, escorting six Japanese merchant ships to the south to break the waves, although the naval battle is victorious, but both sides are defeated, the Japanese fleet's storm-like rapid-fire guns make all the ships participating in the battle scarred, especially as the main target of Dingzhen two distances, the body has to be shot hundreds of rounds, but fortunately, the power of the 152 mm guns is limited, and they are all fire shells, can only hurt the external buildings It is difficult to form fatal injuries.

After a night's voyage, the fleet arrived at Liugong Island the next day, and the base that had already received the news was naturally ready to welcome the triumphant soldiers, but in the distant Forbidden City, the rulers of the country did not seem to express any excitement at the news of their army's victory again.

"Just now, the navy division defeated the Japanese people, and even three warships were sunk, thinking that a small country can only have a few warships in total, why does Li Hongzhang have to buy artillery and torpedoes?" The old lady Cixi said with her finger-groomed, wolf-like finger-like fingers tapping on a piece of music in front of her.

"Empress Dowager Qi, it is said that these two wars are all thanks to these two things, Lord Li probably wants to buy more to ensure safety, after all, the sailor guards Gyeonggi, and there is no room for a slight difference." Prince Shi Duo hurriedly bowed and said, of course, he said this mainly because O'Connor promised to sell a torpedo and give him a commission of five thousand taels of silver.

"Does the household still have any money?" Cixi turned his gaze to Weng Tongyi, who was standing aside.

"The Empress Dowager Qi, the household is having a hard time, and this torpedo is worth 100,000 taels of silver, and it is not urgently needed at present, so I think there is no need to buy more." Master Weng hurriedly said.

Cixi nodded with satisfaction.

"In that case, let's do it! In addition, he ordered to ask Li Hongzhang, why are all these things he bought so expensive recently? England, Germany is an industrial power, where did this Sweden come from, and this Bofors, isn't it a foreigner who came to us to deceive us?" Cixi knocked on the table dissatisfiedly and said.
