"The so-called friendship is based on strength and interests. Friendship without interests is as fragile as this piece of paper."

Dongjiaomin Lane, in the Fusang Embassy. Rijiyi looked at the guests in front of him and gently tore a piece of paper to pieces.

The visitor nodded, "Shandong has always relied on the support of Albion's principal and Prussia to adopt a hostile attitude towards our country, which seriously affects our interests in China. This time, the situation in Thailand and West has not yet been completely clear, so he took the initiative to choose Prussia and offend Albion. It is so stupid."

"It cannot be said to be stupid. In fact, he does not have many choices. The longer the time goes, the more unfavorable it is to him. Although we do not know the specific content of the treaty, judging from the confidentiality of Prussia and Albion's reaction, this peace treaty between China and Prussia must have seriously damaged the interests of countries in Shandong. On the other hand, we can imagine that there must be some clauses in this agreement that are extremely favorable to Yuan Zhengfu and Zhao Guanhou. Once these clauses are fulfilled, they will inevitably greatly enhance the power of Shandong and even China in a short period of time. This is exactly what they urgently need, and there are not many choices. Either support Albion or Prussia. The decision must be made in the shortest time, otherwise they will get less and less. As a weak country, their ideas are not wrong. The only thing they are wrong is to choose the wrong support target!"

The voice of the increasingly volatile voice is getting colder and colder. In this war, pushing chips to Prussia will undoubtedly lead to self-destruction. In terms of the situation in Shandong, if Albion's official palace and Zhao Guanhou stand together, we can only seek benefits from China through negotiations. As for now, when Albion and Prussia officially declare war, the warriors of the empire can openly, wave their swords and get everything they deserve!”

Visitors from a consortium in Fusang became excited with this message. The current political system in Fusang is inseparable from both sides of the politicians and chaebols.

With the weak economy of Taisie, Fusang's chaebols were also greatly affected. Whether from the perspective of destroying competitors, or from the perspective of diverting domestic conflicts or even plundering, these chaebols are happy to see what they can achieve.

Among the political factions in Fuso, Rijiyi is known for his stability and is not the same as the arbitrary faction. When the stable factions also agree to use force to solve the problem, this means that what the chaebols are hoping for is about to happen.

Just before Yuan Weiting's birthday party, the Fusang Embassy received a secret report. The talks between Zhao Guanhou and Zhu Erdian ended unhappily. When he left, Zhu Erdian did not see him off. News also came from the inside line who had bought him for a lot of money, and there was a fierce quarrel between the two and almost broke up.

Shandong's geographical environment, especially Haikou's geographical advantages, are coveted by Fusang. In addition, Fusang's intelligence agency in Shandong was brutally attacked by Shandong's official residence, and intelligence personnel were killed and injured. This open way of breaking up the face also made the relationship between each other tense.

Of course, Fusang will not have any concerns about the unity of a province with one country, but when the situation in this province involves other major powers, Fusang must be extra cautious. In particular, the end of the Fusang Tielle War was not long, and Fusang has not yet recovered the vitality lost due to the war. If Albion is punished again, it will be very unfavorable to the recovery of the state's power.

Based on the above reasons, although Fusang set up a large number of battles in Shandong before, it ended in a peaceful manner. This is not because they are really afraid of going to war with Shandong, but because they are afraid of committing guilt on the backing behind Shandong. Now, since Shandong's aid has gone, Fusang can let go and use martial arts to Shandong.

"Yuan Weiting's ambition to be emperor has been revealed. For travelers standing on the edge of the cliff, we should be compassionate and help him become a Buddha. So in the next step, we will make closer contact with Yuan Weiting, from funds to technology, we can provide guidance to the president. Of course... he also needs to give enough sincerity."

A smile appeared on Riyi's face, and the cold flashed in his eyes. The visitor laughed and said, "Of course, if you want to gain supreme status, you have to pay a corresponding price. This world is so fair. But I am worried about one thing, once the joint alliance and Prussia sign a secret contract, will they still sign a treaty with our country?"

"Don't worry about this. No matter what agreement Prussia has made with China, it has the same problem. Distance! Too far away will inevitably lead to obstacles in the delivery of materials. We are close to China. Whether it is providing aid or blocking Prussia's aid, we all have geographical advantages. On the other hand, there are also our staff within Yuan Zhengfu. From the overall perspective, the war in Thailand is inevitable. Once the war begins, whether it is Albion or Prussia,

The assistance that can be given to China is very limited. If Yuan Weiting wants to become an emperor, he can only rely on our country in the end. The Chinese government has always used the method of leveraging powers to deal with diplomatic disputes and relying on the powers of the Thais to constrain our country. It is undeniable that this is an extremely clever strategy, but they also overlooked the biggest flaw in this strategy. It is that they are weak and powerless, and can only rely on external forces! Once there is no external force to borrow, they can only do one thing: be beaten in a silence!"

With a light wave of his hand, the paper scraps scattered all over the ground and rolled with the wind.

The wind that stirred up dust and debris blew all the way through the ocean and blew to the Fusang land, blew the hearts back and forth again. The wounds caused by the last war remained on the beast.

Although Fusang laughed the last time in the battle with Tielle, the sharp claws of the polar bear still left huge wounds on it. In just a few years, it was not enough to heal the wound. However, based on the aggressive wildness in its bloodline, it would not weaken due to the pain, but was stimulated by the sound of war drums.

The soldiers began to increase their training efforts, and logistics supplies were operated under a mature management system. The shipyards rushed to work day and night to maintain old ships to build new ships, and the sea surface was cruising more and more. In Shandong, a large number of intelligence personnel were re-examined and developed, and they became more active, collecting information on military, integrity and economic aspects for Fusang.

Throughout Jiangbei and Shandong Province, a group of soldiers in the shadow rushed out again and began their own dance.

Jinan Station, Shandong.

In addition to his family and guards, there were also a group of soldiers who came back with Zhao Guanhou. These soldiers came from several provinces and hometowns across the country, and their accents were very different. The only thing they were in common is: poverty!

The leader was Wang Jingshui, the Guangxi officer who was beaten by Lei Zhendong at Qianmen Station. His family was once quite famous in Guangxi, but he was unable to recover due to the Hongyang Rebellion. After the boxing rebellion, Wang Jingshui, like most passionate young people who wanted to save the country by relying on their own efforts, sold off their few ancestral properties and went to Fusang to study military affairs.

Just like his fellow travelers, he also joined the Xingzhonghui and became a member of the Ge Ming Party. After returning to China, he made some military achievements in the Guangxi Uprising and once led a regiment of troops in the army.

But unfortunately, with the establishment of the Beiyang Zhengquan, Guangxi's authority was placed in the hands of Lu Ganqing. Because of the family relationship, Wang Jingshui was not affected much, but was promoted from the regiment commander to the division commander. Later, he had been working in this glorious and great position of staff, which had an unlimited future, as solid as a rock and as a mountain.

Just like most soldiers in this era, Lu Ganqing was a military officer who came from the credit ranks and looked down on military academy students. Wang Jingshui had the halo of military academy students and Ge Mingdang, and was naturally very popular in front of Lu Ganqing, as popular as coal. The reason why he was sent to him this birthday gift was because Lu Ganqing could not find a few intellectuals who could do such things. Only in this time did Wang Jingshui's study abroad experience become meaningful.

Guangxi has barren land and very little production. Lu Ganqing expanded his army in Guangxi, and his troops far exceeded the scale limited by the Army Department. He also bought weapons from Cape arms merchants to expand his strength, making it difficult for military pay.

In order to cultivate the army's hard and simple style, Lu Ganqing took the lead in proposing that second-line officers do not receive military pay, but start by themselves (the governor of Lu is open-minded and never receives a single penny of military pay, but only receives subsidies that have no fixed amount and no upper limit without account records)

Because Wang Jingshui saved the country, she had lost her meager family property, and she had a long owed military pay, making life difficult. Only when she entered Beijing, in order to prevent her subordinates from being like beggars and damaging the image of the Guangxi army, she specially gave a month's gift to purchase some clothes and robes and eat more.

Of course, Lu Ganqing has his own reason for doing this: since they are all Gonghe soldiers, they should ask for military pay from Gonghe Official. They have already arrived in the capital, don’t you know how the Army Department will go? Even if you really don’t know, you should ask. How much money is missing, go to the Army Department for asking for it!

In fact, there are many military commanders who have similar ideas to Lu Ganqing, so there are always military officers who are specially assigned to Beijing to collect debts because they are "cared for" by their superiors. Most of them have some embarrassing resumes, including those who are from military academy or have participated in the Ge Ming Party.

They were poor and only dignity remained. Under the premise that rice was expensive and it was difficult to live in the capital, this dignity gradually disappeared. In order to survive, some of them had to sell medals exchanged for blood in exchange for resources to survive.

Wang Jingshui came to find Zhao Guanhou, and was desperate and had the last chance to survive. Lu Ganqing only gave him one-way ticket. If he wanted to go back to Guangxi, he had to find a way to get the travel expenses himself.

The quick meeting at the station made him feel that this supervisor was different from his commander, and perhaps it was an opportunity. After two conversations, not only was he hired as an officer of the Lu army, but he first served as a battalion-level cadre, and the officers he could contact were also hired to Shandong.

The total number of these people is about one hundred, and they all have experience in military academy training. In Ge Mingzhong, he served as a middle- and low-level military officer and had experience in leading troops on the battlefield. Compared with Shaanxi Army officers who came from swordsmen or peasants, the difficulty of training these people is undoubtedly much smaller.

After getting off the train, we looked at the tall buildings, neat streets, pedestrians and shops in Jinan City. Many officers showed a confused expression on their faces and murmured to themselves, "Where is the capital? Did we go to the wrong place from the beginning?"

Compared with the attitudes of these officers, Zhao Guanhou frowned instead, and Yu Qing also said: "Why are there so many porridge sheds on the road?"

In the mansion, Cheng Yue and the children had already come out. The leader was Princess Anna, who was blonde and blue-eyed, as cute as an elf. She ran over quickly and shouted "Master..." She developed very quickly, taller than the children of the Zhao family, and naturally ran faster. She opened her arms and made a look of begging for a hug. Zhao Guanhou also bent down and responded.

Just as the two bodies were about to meet, Princess Anna suddenly leaned back, her right leg flew up, and the iron tip of the leather boots kicked Zhao Guanhou's chest. The blow was fast and fierce, and obviously he used all his strength. In front of her, it seemed that a man who fell to the sky and the screams of this hateful devil had appeared.

"Ahhhh! How dare you treat such a cute girl like this! Mom, Mom, save me!"

The one who screamed was not Zhao Guanhou, but the attacker. Her legs were grabbed by Zhao Guanhou, lifted upside down, hung upside down in the air, and then the man's slap fell heavily on her p-thighs. Jingci clenched his fists tightly and glared at his big eyes to encourage him, "Come on, Dad, come on, Dad! Get revenge for me..."

"Learning to cover up your attack intention is the basic skill of a killer. Just when you have a cordial conversation with someone, as if you are a confidant who shares life and death, you suddenly swing a dagger to end his life. When his throat is cut open by you, you should still treat you as a close friend, and you will not expect you to attack him, just like this!"

In the study, Zhao Guanhou patiently taught his apprentice. Just when Anna was in a state of listening, she suddenly used a quill to draw a "Z" graphic on her face with a quill pen.

Although Anna had heard the Zorro story from this Eastern master, it did not mean that she was willing to be a victim. After being attacked, she immediately rushed up with her teeth and claws, and then she was slapped again.

"Tell me, what have you done during this period? If it is just such a meaningless attack and takeout disciplines my son for me, I can only say that your practice failed."

"This is unfair! You have to know how difficult it is to help you take care of those idiots! Besides, I am a princess, a noble princess, you can't treat me like this." Anna first protested and then said:
Chapter completed!
