Chapter 340: Doing Something!
When he was still basking in the joy of D+225 crossing the crowd to obtain an Iowa-class battleship, Zhao Yi told him through the radio about the decision of the Provisional Executive Committee to create friction with Russia and France in the near future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The former killer was so excited to hear the news, some time ago when the strength of the Great Song Empire was questioned by the whiteskins, as a diplomat, he was also tormented. If it weren't for the fact that he also had the status of a master in the surgical world, the whiteskins would not have to look at him squarely.
"Okay, this time we don't have to be human with our tails between our legs, is there any news of the wreckage of our radio station recently? This time, we want to settle the new accounts and old accounts with Maozi! And if you catch a Frenchman, you can also beat him to death! Timbuz said to John.
"The French do it too? Won't it be too big? Mia, who was standing aside, asked.
"This is an order from above, to create more friction and conflict with these two countries in order to test their bottom line." Tian Buzi, who was holding the chicken feather as an arrow, said with a smile.
"Okay, we got it. But after those indigenous action teams withdrew to the Liaodong Peninsula, we were short of manpower, would it be dangerous to do so? John asked.
"There are not many Russians who have been killed by me, and the Beiyang troops of the Qing army in Tianjin will not dare to provoke us without the order of the old fox, let it go! Let's get all the people who are related to the wreckage of the radio station back first! Tian Buzi said.
Just as they were discussing who to trouble first, the British consul Ogna came to visit.
"Hello, Mr. Consul. Didn't you go to Shimonoseki to participate in the Nissin armistice negotiations? Why do you have time to come and see me? Tian Buzi said to Ogna.
The BB63 was forced to leave after loading at Maguan, and a British warship planted two Toyota "Highlander" SUVs that crossed the crowd followed the BB63 back to the Liaodong Peninsula. The British consul O'Gner was also not in the mood to watch the footpot chicken and the rookie chicken of Lord Man in Maguan talking there, and felt that the arrival of the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty in the Far East was the top priority, and he had to go and find out the tone of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, after all, it was not a rookie warship, it was a warship that was called by the commander of the Hong Kong fleet as enough to change the world pattern.
However, after BB63 returned to the Liaodong Peninsula, he entered the mouth of Arthur and never showed up again, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was as difficult to find as the giant ship.
His Royal Highness's influence in the Far East was not equal to the rank of captain on his collar badge, and Ogna had to consider the deep meaning behind his avoidance. Although his fellow aides repeatedly said that the madman was neglecting his affairs because Miss Fox was seriously injured, O'Gner preferred to believe that this was an expression of dissatisfaction with the ambiguous attitude of Britain at the negotiating table some time ago.
After spending a few days on the Liaodong Peninsula and never being received by Zhao Yi, Ogner remembered Tian Buzi, who was close to him, so he hurried back to Tianjin to meet with Tian Buzi.
The appearance of that giant ship with nine 16-inch main guns will change the direction of the development of the navies of various countries in the world in the future. Whichever country can get more technical support from the Great Song people will undoubtedly take the lead in this upcoming arms race, and Ogner must make up for the mistakes made by Britain in foreign policy some time ago, and mend the rift between him and the Great Song ally.
"Tian, I'm here to ask you for help. You know that I have just arrived from the Liaodong Peninsula, and unfortunately I have not been given the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I am anxious to know if there is any misunderstanding between us. Ogna asked straight to the point.
"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding between the Great Song Empire and the British Empire, isn't our cooperation project on the Liaodong Peninsula going on in an orderly manner? Tian Buzi said with a smile.
"Tian, there is no need for us to use these diplomatic rhetoric to start a scene. You know, foreign policy is not something I can control alone, and the politicians in the parliament believed the lies of the French, which caused us to swing at the negotiating table, but I guarantee that the gentlemen who supported the Great Song Empire were only a few fewer votes than the opponents. Now we will continue to maintain our previous position of supporting the Great Song Empire, and I hope that you will convey this message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Ogener said.
"But our position has changed, at least we have changed our previous commitment not to send fleets to the Far East. The British Empire, as an ally, does not support us in claiming the benefits agreed in the previous agreement, so we can only send our own fleet to protect our own rights and interests. Tian Buzi said.
"Fleet? Are you saying that there will be warships arriving in the Far East in the future? Ogna's fragile nerves were successfully stirred up by Tian Buzi.
"Of course, otherwise, someone will spread rumors, and the entire Great Song Empire will be this battleship." Tian Buzi said.
"No, no, who would believe such rumors? Can such a giant battleship be built by a country without a complete industrial system? Your shipyard has built more ships than all the warships of any country in Asia have built to gain experience in building battleships of this class! "It's not that Ogener is ignorant of industry.
As a diplomat from the country with the most developed industry in the world and the most core technologies in this era, Ogener would not believe that the country that could build such a huge warship was a weak country!
The 100-year-old navy not only says that the talents of the navy need to be formed through the accumulation of several generations, but also reveals the truth that the technology of naval equipment manufacturing can only be obtained through long-term accumulation.
So there is no such joke that a country has only one such giant warship, and before they can build such large battleships, they must first learn to build frigates, cruisers, etc. with small displacement. The Great Song Royal Navy currently has only one warship in the Far East Seas, and the only possibility is that they don't want to send a fleet over, not that they don't have a fleet.
"Who knows? Maybe someone will believe such a bad joke, and even someone will start provoking us in the Far East. In the event of a war, we can't rely on that battleship alone to ensure our security at sea, right? Tian Buzi really didn't think it was a big deal, and kept teasing Ogna's nerves.
What do you mean by that battleship alone? Aren't you enough for one of these giant battleships? Wait, what did he just say? What does it mean once the war starts? Who are they going to fight against? Manchu? Japan? Or Tsarist Russia?
"Tian, you just mentioned going to war? Do you have any plans for a large-scale military operation in the near future? Ogener said.
"What do you say, look at what is happening on the Liaodong Peninsula, there are actually people with a certain government background who are transporting drugs and kidnapping the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty. Is this the first time you have heard of the bad temper of His Excellency the Commander? In the case of a war in which his lover was assassinated and hospitalized, I think it should be a high probability thing. Tian Buzi said.
Yes, what is it strange that an angry crown prince who can mobilize his fleet can cause a war or two in the Far East, where he can do whatever he wants? Wouldn't the British Empire choose to go to war when faced with the same problem? Where is the face of the royal family!? Ogner was already wondering who would be the one to bear the wrath of the sixteen-inch gun.
