Five ditches.

The head of the Fugui class wiped a handful of black soil on his face, made a ring out of weeds, tied it to a steel helmet, and finally found some small branches to make himself look like a dead wood with sprouts.

Don't underestimate this toss, according to the squad leader, this is the trick he learned after following that unit in the Ryukyus for more than half a month last time, I heard that he was stunned to rely on this toss at that time, and escaped the local soldier who was close to peeing.

As for where did the blind soldier pee? Fugui didn't dare to ask, because as long as he said this, the squad leader would definitely be furious.

Actually, everyone just knows it in their hearts, doesn't it?!

Fugui squinted, carefully examined the rifle, pulled out two magazines from the back of the armed vest full of pockets and put them into his chest, and finally checked the grenade in his waist before reaching out and patting the squad leader on the shoulder.

As the other comrades-in-arms patted the squad leader on the shoulder, the squad leader, who had already been prepared, immediately waved his hand and led everyone to hide in the bushes on the side of the mountain.

Although it was already the end of May, Fugui, who was accustomed to the hot weather of the Ryukyus, still felt the chill coming from time to time under him while lying on the highest mountain in the vicinity.

As the Fourth Regiment, oh no, now it has been renamed the Fourth Division.

As a veteran of the reconnaissance company directly under the division headquarters, Fugui actually didn't fight a few decent battles, because he was a soldier after the young master took control of Honolulu, and later fought two battles on Aimei Island with the troops, although the company commander said cautiously before the war, saying how powerful the soldiers were, but later found out that they were all meat chiefs, and they were screaming so badly that a few soldiers dared to charge in the rain of bullets, but it was really like that, a bullet got into it, and fell backwards like a corpse.

Especially a young man, he actually stood upright with a knife and commanded, of course he didn't let go of this gift. It was because of that shot that he got a medal after the war, and he also gave a large bonus, and he became a big celebrity in the company.

Since then, while the other comrades-in-arms laughed about their good luck, they did not talk about the training of their lives all night, and one or two of them said that they would get a medal and give it to their children and grandchildren to play with in the future.

Well, now the big Russian hairy man is here!

Russians are not good birds, and when I was in a cultural class, the instructor said that since the time of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Russian Da Maozi has killed our Qing border people, from Nebuchu to the Aihui Treaty, and then to the Sino-Russian Yanjing Treaty.

Grandma, I forcibly lost hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in the Qing Dynasty, which is more than the Hawaii and Ryukyu that the young master worked hard to build! These dogs are full of nobles, why didn't they understand that they were such losers before? If this land is in the hands of the young master, how many factories will have to be opened, how many people will have food to eat, and how many people will have money to take!

I didn't expect that the Russian Maozi who got such a big bargain was not satisfied, and actually started the idea of the Northeast again! The last time the company commander went to a meeting, he said that the division commander slapped the table this time and ordered it, saying that this northeast is the land of our Chinese, and if we want to toss, we can only toss it ourselves, and we must beat the Russian big hairy back!

The Qing Dynasty is no longer good, and the Eight Banners are deserted! Don't forget, there's also our Pacific Army!

There are also comrades-in-arms of the reconnaissance company of the Fourth Division scattered in various passes within a radius of 100 miles at this moment!

Thinking of this, Fugui tightened the gun in his hand, and wished that a few big hairs would immediately pop out in front of him, so that they could also taste the marksmanship they had practiced for more than half a year.

However, he also understands that although Wudaogouzi is not far from the border, there are many passes on this section of the border, and no one knows whether Ou Maozi will go from this side.

Just as Fugui was lying in the grass and thinking nonsense, he suddenly felt a slight vibration sound from the ground below him, although it was slight, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and the squad leader was the first to raise the telescope.

God!

Fugui raised his head and looked, only to see thousands of Mao Zi soldiers who were rushing through the Hunchun River, and in front of them, there were thousands of cavalrymen riding horses, wearing cloaks, carrying guns and sabers at their waists!

"On such a large scale, can you fight it?" Fugui hurriedly looked at the squad leader, only to see the squad leader's Adam's apple move violently a few times, slapped the weeds around him fiercely, and urged: "Send a report quickly, the Russian Maozi has crossed the five ditches!" ”

The two correspondents who had just come to the class immediately hid in the dark to send a report, and Fugui wanted to retract his head and retreat back, but suddenly heard the squad leader's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Dog calf, I will find a few single ones to open the meat, and I can't come in vain!" ――

Yanjing.

In the British Embassy in the Qing Dynasty, Sir O'Gner, the ambassador to China, took milk tea from an Indian waiter holding a thick turban, stirring it with a silver spoon while looking at the young man sitting opposite, with a smile on his lips.

As a traditional British aristocrat, Ogener was full of gentlemanly demeanor, and those who knew him well knew that even if the warship stopped in front of him, he would still maintain his demeanor and fight for the benefits that the British Empire deserved.

But at this moment, although his posture of stirring the spoon was graceful and slow, and although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, his heart had long been shrouded in gloom.

Because the Far East has become a mess!

In the book, although Britain received more orders for building ships, it completely lost to the Americans in financial control, and now the damned Russians used the illusion of exercises to deceive the British Empire, and with the help of French colonial supplies, they actually transferred four more warships from the Baltic Fleet, including two battleships!

What annoys him even more is that the Germans actually came to join in the fun, and their cruising fleet is still docked off the coast of Jiaodong, Nicholas II, Wilhelm II, these two second ancestors, can't they honestly stay at home and enjoy a good life, why do they want to challenge the interests of the British Empire in the East?!

With their arrival, the situation in the Far East has become a mess, the Russians really began to attack North Korea as expected, the first batch of people who landed in Wonsan Port reached 5,000 people, with the help of naval artillery, has basically controlled Wonsan Port, if they continue to increase their troops to fight, North Korea may soon be annexed by the Russians!

Vice Admiral Filitman has already sent a telegram that he has begun to mobilize the Far Eastern Fleet stationed in Hong Kong, and the two cruisers of the advance have even been stationed in Weihai Harbor!

"Is there really going to be a war?" Ogener was not afraid of war, and in order to ensure that the interests of the British Empire on the coast of China were not challenged, he did not hesitate to fight with anyone! But the question is ......?

Ogena suddenly stopped stirring the milk tea, raised his head and asked with a smile, "Dear Minister Mr. Feng Qi, may I ask if you have anything to do today?" ”

Looking at the aristocratic Ogner in front of him, a smile hung on the corner of Feng Qi's mouth, he knew very well how inconsistent the other party's heart and appearance were at the moment, otherwise there would be no two British cruisers in Weihaiwei.

"Mr. Ambassador, this is a small gift, please accept it." Feng Qi smiled and took out the beautifully packaged gift box, handed it to the servant next to him, and then said, "It may be a bit presumptuous to come to visit you today, but I think it is still necessary for me to come to see you once for the friendship between Hawaii and the United Kingdom." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Minister, and I beg your trust that although we have had a misunderstanding, I have always believed that Hawaii is an important partner of the United Kingdom." Ogner glanced at the gift box and took a sip of milk tea.

"Old fox, the words don't leak, I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin." Feng Qi scolded secretly, the smile on his face suddenly closed, and he looked at Ogena seriously and said, "Mr. Ambassador, please forgive me, I don't know what you think of the current situation?" Aren't you worried that the Russians will continue to grow bigger and affect your country's interests here? ”

Sure enough, it was for the Russians.

Ogna's eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Mr. Minister, do you think Russia is dangerous?" ”

"Isn't it?" Feng Qi said: "The Russian army has landed in Wonsan Port, their warships are heading south, shelling Goseong and Gangneung, and perhaps soon, they will bypass the peninsula and shell Incheon, saying that they have no navy and are no longer able to fight back, and if they are allowed to continue, North Korea will definitely fall into their hands." ”

"Once Russia occupies Korea, their fleet can be stationed at Inchon and blockade the Balhai Sea, Arthur, and perhaps ......." Feng Qi glanced at Ogna, who was still calm, and said slowly: "Turn around and attack Tianjin!" ”

"Hmph, it's not your own doing!"

Ogna snorted coldly in his heart, his hand just touched the rim of the cup, and when he heard the last few words, he suddenly stopped, but soon returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Mr. Minister, I think you are a little alarmist, although the Russians have a fleet to help, but it is not so simple for them to take North Korea, where there are 50,000 soldiers, and the Russian garrison in Vladivostok is only more than 10,000 people. ”

"Therefore, at most, they can only make a draw and enjoy the benefits of North Korea with Yu Ben, but they must not rule North Korea, as for ......." Ogna glanced at Feng Qi and smiled slightly: "Attacking Lushun and Tianjin, do you think they still have soldiers to complete such a difficult task?" ”

After hearing these words, knowing that the person in front of him didn't know that the Russian Army had also increased its troops, Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief and became more confident, but this can't be blamed on the other party, Vladivostok is a remote place, and the Twin Cities are even farther away, if it weren't for the young master's accidental proposal to let Nighthawk take a look, the Pacific Army would not be able to grasp the movements of the Russian Army.

Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Mr. Ambassador, the Russians may not be able to defeat the Yuben Army, but do you think the Qing Beiyang Naval Division can resist such a huge Russian fleet?" ”

Ogner had just opened his mouth to speak, when Feng Qi interrupted him again and sneered: "What's more, Mr. Ambassador, do you know what Nicholas II thinks?" ”

Ogna's heart jumped!

The young man was right, whether Russia would attack Arthur or not was not determined by military strength, but by the personal attitude of the Tsar, Nicholas II and his father created a navy known as the third most powerful in the world, coupled with a vast territory and a large number of soldiers, even the empire was a little difficult to deal with. If he really ordered the occupation of Northeast China, then his generals would definitely attack desperately!

God, will Russia really attack the Qing Dynasty?

Although Ogna had long doubts, the Qing-Russian treaty made him a little confused, and he never dared to make a decision to contact the country, but if the young man in front of him really said it, then with the greed of the tsars of the past dynasties for the land, it would be a disaster for the Qing country! Even Britain's interests here will be damaged, and more importantly, Britain will be drawn into a war of great proportions!

"No, absolutely not."

But soon Ogna shook his head again, and rejected the idea in his heart, because the Russian Far Siberian Railway had just begun, and they were not capable of supporting a full-scale war! And the Russians should know very well that the Far East Fleet of the British Empire will never allow them to do this! ”

"This young man is misleading himself! That Hawaiian young master must want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters! They must be dispelled! ”

Thinking of this, Ogna smiled slightly: "Mr. Minister, with all due respect, whether Russia will attack the Qing State or not, this is none of Hawaii's business, right?" And don't forget, here! The Far East Fleet of the British Empire is still the most powerful! ”

"The Far East Fleet of the British Empire is still the most powerful!"

Ogener's last voice echoed in the room, and Feng Qi stood up abruptly, stared into his eyes and said: "Mr. Ambassador, maybe you think that it doesn't matter to us whether Russia will attack the Qing Kingdom or not, but what I want to say is, please don't forget, my Duke is a Chinese!" ”

"Maybe you won't understand that the homeland is an important surname in the hearts of our Chinese! As a person who walked out of Liaodong, he would never allow his homeland to be destroyed by others! ”

Looking at Feng Qi, who stood up excitedly, Ogner also took a deep breath, looked at those black eyes, and said in a low voice: "I still want to kindly remind you that Hawaii should not come to the Far East!" ”

"Really?"

Feng Qi suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, took out a document from his pocket, and gently placed it next to Ogener's teacup: "Mr. Ambassador, I know that the Far East Fleet of the British Empire is very powerful, and General Philitman is ready to intervene!" ”

"But I want to know, how many troops does he have?"

"Army?!"

Looking at the document placed in front of him, Ogna suddenly felt a deep palpitation, as if it contained a terrible but seductive devil, and he couldn't help but touch it.

Flipping through the documents, Ogner's face changed dramatically after a glance, he got up suddenly, hit the table with his knee and didn't pay attention, and rushed to Feng Qi: "Is this true?" ”

"Mr. Ambassador, I don't have time to joke with you, although I am representing Hawaii now, please remember my yellow skin and black eyes!"

"I can't watch my homeland sink into war!"

After speaking, Feng Qi quickly walked out, but just as he was about to walk to the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head, and a confident smile exploded at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Ambassador, with all due respect, you have two options, wait and see!"

"Or participate!"

"As the best diplomat, I am confident that you will make the right choice."

"Where are you going?" Ogna looked at Feng Qi, who was flying with confidence, and his face was pale.

"Go and tell the Russians, or leave! Or war! ”

Watching Feng Qi walk out of the room quickly, Ogna sat down dejectedly, and the knocked milk tea on the table fell drop by drop along the table legs.

"Crazy!"

He muttered to himself, not only feeling palpitations for the Russians silently adding tens of thousands of troops to Vladivostok, but also for Li Mo actually wanting to challenge the huge Russian heart palpitations, and even more for the young man with black hair, yellow skin and black hair who left!

If this information is true, then at a time when the country is constantly increasing troops and a big war is about to break out, even if Felikman can defeat the Russian fleet, it is impossible to change the situation of defeat on land!

The old army of the Qing State, who lost their armor in Korea, is simply impossible to compare with the Russians, let alone there are 10,000 of the most elite Cossack cavalry!

One is ruled by Russia in the Northeast, and even North Korea must be added!

That's not in the interests of the Empire!

Today, this young man is not here for an interview at all, nor is he here to discuss!

He came here, played a game of chess with himself, and when he dropped the last piece, he also took the last move.

Checkmate!
