327 Is there a war in the southwest?
"Taiping! Is this called Taiping? Not to mention Chen Ping, who was killed by a head-on, even Du Dazhuang, who came in behind him, and now Du Dazhuang, who is the commander of the Royal Guards Battalion and a part-time meat shield, also slammed his feet and spilled half of the coffee he was holding. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※
Let's talk about the country first, "Chang Gung of Shaanxi and Gansu in the northwest saw that Shanxi could not get through, so he supported his troops and became the emperor of the soil, and I don't know how he persuaded those leaders of various ethnic groups to keep the minority cavalry mixed in the northwest army.
Mongolia, which has long been brave in the north, does not know what to pay attention to, while Tsarist Russia in the north is silently continuing its strength, the Trans-Siberian Railway has been halfway built, and it will be completed in three years at most, and then the southern provinces have put on a pair of pants under a paper of mutual protection between the southeast, and Britain, the United States, Germany, and France have made a mess of the southeast coast by selling arms and forcibly seizing leased land.
The Central Plains is also rampant banditry, and even the ten battalions of the Second Internal Affairs Division have been dispatched in advance to cooperate with the remaining bandits in the army to ensure the safety of various places, and even Yan Fu has proposed to use the large number of surrendered Qing troops to form two internal affairs divisions again to increase the progress.
Abroad, the war between the United States and Cuba is still deadlocked, but the United States has no way to retreat, and if it does not continue to fight, Cuba today is like Japan, as long as it does not move this big rock, the United States will not be able to concentrate all its attention on South America and the Pacific Ocean, the guerrilla warfare method brought by Sun Jiugong is now in full swing there, and even the General Staff will learn from the experience of intelligence research sent back in a steady stream.
The Anglo-Boer conflict had recently erupted, and the Boers supported by Germany and the Netherlands were already extremely dissatisfied with the British ambitions, and it was only a matter of time before the war began, and the struggle for colonies in Africa was about to intensify.
Germany's naval bill also caused strong dissatisfaction in Britain, the battle for the Atlantic has quietly begun, and even the North Korea around him has reached a critical moment, and the rebel army led by Kim Kai-nan has been "like a bamboo" after more than half a year of adjustment, and has hit less than 30 kilometers north of Seoul, and the southern provinces have responded, and the Lee dynasty may end its rule in the next minute.
With such a chaotic international and domestic situation, Master Li actually said that it was peaceful!
Chen Ping was already speechless, looking at Young Master Li stupidly, such an emperor didn't know whether to cry or laugh, no wonder the powers said that he was a spoiler, a war maniac, and he was really idle and panicked if he didn't fight for a day.
According to you, "North Korea is the overall situation decided?" "For so long, Li Mo is still the first time to pay attention to North Korea, a peninsula country sandwiched between the big powers, a tragic figure like a triple splint from ancient times to the present, geopolitics makes him have to be attached to the big powers, and before Japan was strong, it became Japan's prey again, and the United States became half of their master in later generations, and that big pie face is really changing rapidly.
Still.
Now that he has come back, the future generations will definitely be changed, as for North Korea, it is better to stay in his arms obediently, and there is nothing to sell some resources in exchange for some food or something, as for the name of the Republic of Korea and the like, don't hang it out and disgust people!
Seeing that Li Mo looked at the location of the map and did not speak, Chen Ping immediately suggested: "Your Majesty, this is a good opportunity, the two battalions of the fourth division and the third regiment are still stationed in Incheon. ”
Li Mo turned his head and saw the sharp light in Chen Ping's eyes, the garrison of the two battalions, even when the north needed troops, did not draw troops, just to wait for the Korean war situation to make a timely response, now it seems that the time is right!
"Order to go down, take over Seoul at once, and at the same time tell the king of Joseon that we can mediate the war, ensure the safety of his life and that of the royal family, and provide political asylum, but at what cost?" Young Master Li held his chin" with a profiteer's expression, and made Du Dazhuang, who walked in with coffee again, swing again. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※
"The Joseon Dynasty has ruled for many years, right?"
"According to the Western calendar, the Lee Dynasty of Korea has a history of more than 500 years since the founding of the country after overthrowing Goguryeo in the whole year." As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, he was afraid that Li Mo would not know the situation in North Korea, so he added: "Your Majesty, although the Joseon Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, North Korea is poor and remote, and the treasury has been exhausted over the years, so I'm afraid there won't be much money left." ”
"Stupid." Li Mo glared at his chief of staff of the three armed forces: "How can you say that you are like Li Enfu" into the eyes of money? Am I the kind of person who is greedy for money? ”
"No, of course you're not, Your Majesty." Chen Ping hurriedly waved his hand, but the expression was not right no matter how he looked at it, obviously saying that Young Master Li was duplicitous, but Li Mo didn't bother to pay attention to him, and immediately said: "North Korea has ruled for more than five hundred years, it doesn't matter if there is no money, no one and no food, what matters is those treasures in the Korean palace!" ”
"Baby?!" Chen Ping's eyes lit up suddenly.
The king of Joseon has ruled Korea for more than 500 years, and there must be a lot of people's fat and ointment, although there is not much gold and silver left, but those antiques and treasures must still be there, and the last time the Japanese rushed into the palace because of Russian interference, they withdrew, and the damage to the palace was not very large, so there should still be some catties and two.
Seeing that Chen Ping understood, Young Master Li coughed dryly: "Ahem, go and tell the king of Joseon, I have suddenly become obsessed with Korean history recently, and I want to borrow some antique vases and other research studies." ”
"Fascinated by Korean history." Du Dazhuang is stupid, he has seen robberies while the fire is burning, but he has also seen robberies and make up such elegant reasons, will the king of Joseon be angry directly after hearing it?
Young Master Li doesn't care whether the king of Joseon will die of anger, how many national treasures were left abroad in the late Qing Dynasty? Although his arrival preserved the vitality of the late Qing Dynasty, the Old Summer Palace was burned down during the Opium War and the first Eight-Nation Alliance, what a loss!
Thinking that future generations of Chinese want to see precious national treasures, and they need to cross the ocean to go to other people's museums, this is simply a great shame! Now, it's time for others to taste this taste, one day the young master will get those national treasures back, not only that, but also withdraw all the treasures of other countries to the Forbidden City and establish the world's largest royal museum!
For the sake of this great dream, the DPRK should be the first to sacrifice!
Chen Ping was speechless, and he was already impressed by Young Master Li's ability to scrape the ground, and said with a smile: "Young Master, what should I do with Jin Kainan?" ”
"What to do? Cool! Young Master Li snorted: "After a while, you go to Mr. Li, and say that I think North Korea is quite pitiful, and it is estimated that he will definitely not be able to make up the gold for the implementation of the gold standard, and ask him to send someone to discuss with Jin Kainan, squeeze out dozens of tons of gold to help them issue banknotes, and try to stabilize the country as soon as possible, but this gold must be pressed in our hands, and they will be able to deliver it when they earn enough money that day." ”
Chen Ping has nothing to say, before dealing with Japan, Young Master Li was ready to play this hand, but unfortunately Britain, the United States and Germany intervened and failed to complete the work, but only got a certain amount of shares. Well, now North Korea is simply a screw in its own hands at the moment, and even foreigners are reluctant to come in recent years, because they all know that Li Mo has long regarded North Korea as a forbidden businessman to play alone, and this financial support plan at this moment seems to be beautiful but in fact because gold must be used as collateral, North Korea is equivalent to only getting a bunch of flower paper heads printed with numbers.
And according to the temper of Li Enfu and Liang Dunyan, Qingding will have all kinds of harsh conditions, anyway, this gold North Korea will not want to get it for a lifetime, but it will be controlled financially!
It is certain that Jin Kainan will definitely be furious, but he can't refuse, as the first line of the First Sino-Japanese War, and is in the center of the struggle between Japan and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, plus the internal friction in the past two years, North Korea has already exhausted the last trace of vitality, with their strength, let alone building the country, I am afraid that they will not even be able to make up food.
When victory was about to come, he was snatched away from his precious fruits, and then he had to sign a financial aid agreement to watch the lifeblood of the country be in the hands of others.
This is a weak country, in fact, no matter what this generation, there are many, many small countries with this kind of tragedy, maybe they are attached to the big countries, and it is better than doing anything to improve themselves.
"Da Zhuang, haven't you always wanted to go out for a walk? Take a part of the guard battalion and set off for North Korea immediately, remember ......" Li Mo's eyes narrowed violently: "Don't leave something behind......"
"Yes......" Du Dazhuang replied loudly and passionately.
Chen Ping also couldn't laugh or cry, it should be said that the affairs of North Korea were just a splash of water, and they could not set off any storms at all, and the powerful offensive posture during this period of time had made the great powers give up all the interests of the north, and at this moment their attention was all focused on the south, and they would not care about the affairs of North Korea at all.
Perhaps at this moment, Britain and the United States and other countries are regretting why they did not drag China sooner, but it is too late to say anything now, unless they can really decide to fight a large-scale war, they can only watch China rise little by little.
Although Li Mo wants to move his army south immediately, there is no doubt that this will touch the bottom line of the great powers, and now the two major events of land law and financial reform have not been completely completed, and the newly bloodied north is still unstable, so even if the issue of foreigners is not considered, neither the General Staff nor the Prime Minister's Office is in favor of fighting a big war at this time, and would rather fight for the erosion of the south for a period of time, but also consolidate the north first.
At present, the only place that can attack is Shaanxi, Gansu and the entire northwest, and maybe Mongolia, but the problem is that out of Shanxi, it is the vast northwest, where the land is sparsely populated, the ethnic group is complex, and the war there has been fought purely in logistics and attrition since ancient times, so in the eight railway plans of the Prime Minister's Office, the two that cross Shanxi and go straight to Shaanxi and finally reach Qinghai, and from Zhangjiakou to Tangnu Ulianghai through Mongolia are crucial, even if there is still a large section that does not belong to the control area and cannot be started immediately, However, the military still took the initiative to forcibly recruit 100,000 Japanese laborers on Shikoku Island, and cooperated with the Prime Minister's Office to give priority to the construction of these two railways.
However, the war cannot wait for the railway, because even if it goes all out, the railway will not be completed in two or three years, so the military does not want to fight in the northwest, but because it is really difficult to travel on the road in Shanxi, so at the moment it is constantly transferring materials to the junction of Shanxi and Gansu little by little, plus the priority is to ensure that the government pushes the administration, so this wave of offensive must wait a little longer.
What made Young Master Li resentful was that because he occupied Luzon strongly, after the navy fought several naval battles in a row, the originally chaotic Nanyang lands also became calm all at once, and he didn't dare to say that the Chinese were honored wherever they went, at least the great powers began to strictly control the natives in the colonies, and the previous kind of deliberately creating contradictions and conflicts "wantonly killing the Chinese" seems to be extinct, and even if there is, it is a small scale, and it is not enough to start an excuse for war.
If you don't make trouble, why does the young master continue to enclose the land with any excuse?! Could it be that the world's fourth navy is kept patrolling all day long?
It's too wasteful, isn't this forcing the young master to make a trick!
Li Mohou glanced at the world map and suddenly asked, "By the way, Yuanshou, what do you think of Sun Jiugong......
Sun Jiugong? Although he didn't know why Li Mo suddenly asked him, Chen Ping immediately said: "The bottom is not solid, but after the experience in Cuba, he is much calmer, good at surprise soldiers, and has a good set of cavalry and long-distance combat, he has now kneaded all the scattered militia groups in Taiwan and formed a security regiment of 5,000 people, according to Tan Xiaozeng's last return, the combat effectiveness is not bad......
"So, it's a personal ......"
Chen Ping has always rarely praised people, but the two people he likes have now become the pillars of the Navy and Army, first Ji Weishan, and then Zhang Zuoshuang, both of whom are good people, if it weren't for the foresight to make hole cards, Li Mo would not be as good as him.
So after hearing him praise Sun Jiugong, Li Mo also relieved his heart and said with a smile: "Then transfer him back." In addition, I am going to hand over the cavalry division to him, set up the Northwest United Theater, hand over the second and fourth divisions to him, and let him take over the post of commander of the theater......"
As soon as he heard that the Northwest Theater was going to be established, Chen Ping knew that Li Mo was determined to fight the Northwest, and immediately said: "The Northwest is remote, the sky is high and the earth is far away, it is a good place for him to play, but although Gao Dingru has no great merit as the commander of the cavalry division, the hard work of leading the team is indispensable, so it is ............ to transfer him away?"
"It's okay, you have to be conscious and obey the arrangement when you are a soldier, and the Seventh Infantry Division has been formed in the Ryukyus, and you need a capable cadre, so let him go......"
"That's okay, the division commander and the division commander are at the same level, and he himself knows that he is not the material to lead cavalry, and he has mentioned it to me many times......"
"Okay, then do it...... Li Mo made a decision: "Let Sun Jiugong be the commander of the First Cavalry Division and the commander of the Northwest Theater, and Gao Dingru will be transferred to the commander of the Seventh Infantry Division, and the General Staff will immediately telegraph to let Huang Fuqi, the commander of the Third Division in Luzon, temporarily act as the commander of the Southwest Theater, and the Third Airship Brigade formed by the Air Force will also be transferred to Luzon to standby." ","Southwest Theater ............"
Chen Ping, who was just about to nod, heard this, his eyes straightened, according to the principle of the theater system, if there must be a war, a theater commander will be established, but now that the wife of Nanyang Luzon is peaceful, why did she suddenly set up a theater commander?
Is there a war in the Southwest?
