"It seems that the Russians have their eyes on northern China, and once the empire launches a war against the Manchus, the polar bears will definitely take advantage of it. At that time, if the empire wants to unify the whole country, it will have to fight with polar bears. Long Yufei thought secretly. From the words of the Russian Foreign Minister, Count Neschel Rodie, he already understood what the Russians meant. However, even this could not prevent the Chinese Empire from unifying China, even if it was to go to war with Russia because of this. In the Far East and Eastern Siberia to start a war with Russia, Long Yufei was not afraid. Because of transportation, the Russians were able to deploy not many troops to the Far East, and tens of thousands of troops were up to the sky. Although the Chinese Empire is also subject to this constraint, with the weaponry and combat power of the Chinese Army, there should be no problem in defeating the Russian army. The only thing to worry about is probably Xinjiang. The Russians have a strong presence in Central Asia, and Xinjiang is far away from the hinterland of China, so if there is a war with Russia, Xinjiang is in danger of falling!

"Your Excellency, the Chinese Empire is fully capable of defeating the Manchus, and we don't need Russia's help." Long Yufei categorically rejected the kindness of the Russians. The Russians did not have a good heart at all, it was completely a weasel to give the chicken a New Year's greeting.

Count Nesherrodi frowned, the Chinese actually refused Russia's help, which was somewhat unexpected to him. Within Russia, there were two factions in dealing with the Chinese Empire, one believing that a strong Chinese Empire would pose a serious threat to Russian interests in the Far East. The Chinese Empire should be suppressed before it develops. However, the Chinese Empire was too far away from Russia, and Russia's strength simply could not affect the Chinese Empire. And now. The Chinese Empire had taken advantage of the opportunity to grow stronger, and even the Western powers were defeated. If Russia wants to suppress the Chinese Empire, it is already impossible. On the other hand, they advocated uniting the Chinese Empire to divide up the Manchus, taking this opportunity to enable Russia to achieve large-scale expansion in the Far East. However, this faction did not prevail. Hence the Far East and Siberia. It's a completely barren land, and there is no interest at all. Tsar Nicholas I's eyes were already completely on the Balkans.

"His Majesty the Emperor. Is the Chinese Empire rejecting the friendship of the Russian Empire? We came with sincerity. If the Chinese Empire rejects the friendship of the Russian Empire, then I am afraid that our two countries will become hostile as a result. This will not be good for both of us! Count Niechelro threatened. On the Eurasian continent. Russia is a behemoth. Even the once mighty French Empire was lost in Russia. No one has ever dared to refuse the friendship of Russia. Even though the Chinese Empire had won several victories over the Western powers, Count Neschel Rody stubbornly believed that the mighty Slavic warriors could easily defeat the Chinese with pigs' tails behind their heads!

"Your Excellency, are you threatening me?" Long Yufei said coldly. The Chinese Empire has passed its weakest time, and now the Chinese Empire has grown into one of the world's top powers. Even Britain, the world hegemon, did not dare to threaten the Chinese Empire like this, are these Russians really having a problem with their brains? Do they really think. Will their army of millions of serfs and Cossack cavalry be able to defeat the Chinese Empire? Long Yufei believed. The Chinese * army will make these rude and barbaric Russians regret it!

"Your Majesty, this is definitely not a threat. This is the goodwill of the Russian Empire. Russia wanted to be able to buy a stake in the Canal Development Company from the hands of the Chinese Empire, not too much, only five percent. For this, Russia will pay two million pounds, and in addition, Russia will also help the Chinese Empire to destroy the Qing state, which is very cost-effective! Count Nischel Rodie continued.

"Your Excellency, His Majesty the Emperor has already made it very clear. First, we will not sell the shares of the Canal Development Company to the Russians. Second, we have the ability to destroy the Manchus and do not need the help of Russia! Lin Zihao, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire, said with some anger. In the face of the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Count Nesher Rodie was still so aggressive, which was too unaware of the Chinese Empire.

Count Nesser's face suddenly became gloomy. This was undoubtedly the unequivocal rejection of Russia by the Chinese Empire. He wanted to walk away, but the order of Tsar Nicholas I forced him to restrain his anger.

"Well, Your Majesty, since the Chinese Empire refuses to sell the shares of the Canal Development Company, then we have no choice but not to continue to force it. However, there is another mention in Russia. That is, our two countries united and attacked the Manchus together. After the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northeast China north of the Great Wall belonged to Russia, and the rest of the region belonged to the Chinese Empire. What do you think, Emperor Xià? Count Niechelro Dies asked. This is the most important thing compared to buying a stake in the canal. If it succeeds, perhaps Russia will be able to have an ice-free port in the Far East.

"Haha! Your ambitions have finally been revealed. However, my Excellency, I am not so easy to deceive, and it is impossible for me to exchange my land for the support of Russia. What's more, even without the support of Russia, my army would be able to destroy the Manchus lightly! Long Yufei sneered. These Russians, abacus is also too good, and at this time they still want to take food from the tiger's mouth, do they really think that the Chinese Empire is so easy to bully? Moreover, they also opened their mouths, Xinjiang, the area north of the Great Wall and the northeast region all wanted, that is millions of square kilometers, are they not afraid of being stripped to death? At this time, Long Yufei completely saw the greed of these Russians. In the same way, it also raised his wariness of the Russians to another level. It seems that this war to destroy the Manchus will not be so easy. In addition to dealing with the Manchus, it was necessary to be prepared to deal with the Russians. When the time comes, the Empire's armies will have to be fully prepared. If the Russians dare to stretch out their claws to China, then they must cut off their claws and let the Russians know that if they want to invade China, they will have to pay a heavy price!

"Your Majesty, you have to think about it. The Qing State had an army of millions. And they are well-equipped, and they also hire officers from the British Army for training, and their combat effectiveness is already not to be underestimated. The total strength of the army of the Chinese Empire was less than 700,000. After deducting the troops used to garrison other places, how many Manchu troops could the Chinese Empire use? Although the navy of the Chinese Empire is strong, warships can't always go ashore, right? Therefore, without the help of Russia, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Chinese Empire to win this war! Count Niechel Rodie analyzed. This is the analysis of the combat power of the Chinese Empire and the Manchu Qing Dynasty by the command of the Russian army, and it is precisely for this reason that Tsar Nicholas II believes that Russia can make a lot of money from China at a small price.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about that. I am sure that my army will defeat the Manchus! Long Yufei said stubbornly. It is true that what Count Nesher Rody said is true, the Manchus did have millions of armies, but except for a few bannermen, the rest of these armies were Han people who were forcibly conscripted. What's more, although the equipment of the Qing army was changed, and instructors were hired from the British. But will it be possible to train a strong army in a year or two? Long Yufei didn't believe this. Besides, the army of the Chinese Empire has been equipped with a series of advanced weapons. If the Qing army wanted to defeat the Chinese Empire, it would be almost impossible. For the unification war that is about to start, although Long Yufei is not ten percent sure, he is at least eighty percent!

Count Nesserrodie's face was constantly changing, he did not expect that the Chinese emperor would be so arrogant and arrogant, and he was completely indifferent. This made all the rhetoric he had prepared useless.

"Your Excellency, it is better for Russia not to intervene in the unification of the Chinese Empire, otherwise, Russia will become the enemy of the Chinese Empire." Long Yufei warned. Although he knew that such a warning would not help, he still hoped to give the Russians a vaccination. It would be best if the Russians could not interfere. In this way, the Chinese Empire will be able to complete the unification with ease. If it develops for a few more years, then the offense and defense of the two sides will be transposed.

The Chinese Emperor's warning made Count Nesherro Die's face even more ugly. It almost made him lose his mind.

"Your Majesty, what if Russia turns to support the Qing state? I am afraid that the Chinese Empire will not only not be able to win the victory, but will also face defeat! When the time comes, the Chinese Empire will pay even more losses. If the Chinese Empire is willing to transfer some of the shares of the Canal Development Company to Russia for free, we can maintain neutrality in the Chinese Empire's war against the Qing Dynasty! Count Niechelro threatened. Before, he offered to buy shares, but now he directly asks for a free transfer, which shows the greed of the Russians.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be delusional! If Russia wants to intervene in the war of China's reunification, then Russia will be the enemy of the Chinese Empire, and we will make Russia pay a heavy price for your stupidity on the battlefield. I promise you'll regret it! Faced with the threat of Count Niechel Rodie, Long Yufei took a-for-tat answer. (To be continued......)
