Super dictator.

Russia, Gatchina Palace.

Tsar Nicholas II summoned several important ministers to discuss Far East affairs.

There is the Minister of the Navy Turdov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Robanov, and the Minister of Finance Witte.

The first to speak was Telduff, and he said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's Office of the Qing Dynasty has sent back news that our Far East Fleet is allowed to anchor in Jiaozhou Bay, but we are required to wait for Chun Rong before leaving immediately. "

Foreign Minister Robanov curled his lips disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Can the Qing government refuse to agree? The reason why the imperial fleet has no place to spend the winter is because the Qing Dynasty has turned against Japan."

Vladivostok will freeze in winter. In the past, the Russian Far East Fleet went to the Gulf of Japan to spend the winter at this time, so now they have an excuse, and it is a good time to obtain a port in China.

Nicholas II felt very comfortable when he heard Robanov's words, and said ambitiously: "Jiaozhou Bay is not our ultimate goal. If we want to obtain northern China and North Korea, we must obtain a military port in Liaodong."

"Your Majesty's opinion!" Robanov bent slightly, and then Nicholas II said: "The Chinese will take back Lushunkou soon, and at that time, the imperial fleet can use the excuse to provide coal to go north, and take the opportunity to win An ice-free port allows the Empire’s Far East Fleet to play a greater role.”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte also said: "After we get the port, we can build a railway from the empire to Dalian, with Harbin as the center, Manzhouli in the west, Dalian in the south, and Vladivostok. It can enable the empire to transport our military power to Vladivostok and concentrate it in Manchuria, the coast of the Yellow Sea and the short distance from the capital of China in the shortest way at any time. This will greatly increase the prestige and influence of the empire in the Far East and will promote the subsidiary closer to the tribes and empires of China."

Nicholas II nodded contentedly and said: "At that time, Liaodong, which was redeemed by the Chinese, will become the sphere of influence of the empire. Turdov will let the navy conduct a detailed survey in the Yellow Sea area and enter Lushun Port for us. be prepared."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Turdoff said with a slight bend.

In a primitive forest, the shade of the trees covers the sky, and occasionally sunlight shines through the cracks in the leaves, forming colorful spots. On the ground, there are thorns everywhere, and there is nowhere to walk. road.

Huo Yuanjia squatted quietly on top of an ancient tree, his eyes looked down vigilantly, but his body remained motionless, trying his best to maintain his strength. Today is the last day, and he has been in this deep forest for four days. If you persist for a day, you will be able to go out, Huo Yuanjia thought in his heart.

Suddenly, there was a movement on the branch, Huo Yuanjia quickly glanced over, he was overjoyed, it turned out to be a flower snake, he only ate two fruits yesterday, he was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, today it looks like something good have eaten.

When the snake was two inches away from him, he made a quick move and grabbed the snake by seven inches. After a few seconds, the snake stopped struggling.

Huo Yuanjia looked around and found nothing unusual, so he jumped off the tree, hung the snake on the branch, and prepared to shed its skin.

"Don't move! Hand over your wooden token." A sinister warning sound suddenly sounded behind Huo Yuanjia.

Huo Yuanjia was terrified, there was someone so forbearing, he must have arrived here before him, and then lurked all the time, only at this time did he seize the opportunity, and felt a sharp thing on his back, Huo Yuanjia could guess, It must have been a sharpened stick.

Of course, Huo Yuanjia wouldn't just surrender obediently, I saw him rushing forward suddenly, then rushed to the tree in front, made two groans, and with the help of the tree's recoil, he made a roundabout, kicked back horizontally, click After a sound, the wooden stick in the hand of the man behind was lifted off.

"It's you, Zhao Bingjun." Huo Yuanjia was taken aback for a moment, this Zhao Bingjun Huo Yuanjia knew, he was recruited from Tianjin, he had an indescribably gloomy smell on him, and he was very kind and forbearing.

If Huo Yuanjia knew Zhao Bingjun's life experience, it wouldn't be strange. In his early years, when Zhao Bingjun followed Zuo Zongtang to fight in Xinjiang, he buried himself in the snow for three days and nights in order to escape the encirclement of the enemy. The root of the disease has fallen, just like an eunuch.

When Wei Jichen was recruiting soldiers in Tianjin, Zhao Bingjun was just a small pawn in Xinle County, Zhili. After serving as a soldier, as a clerk, and as a clerk, Zhao Bingjun was specially recruited into the Dingliao Army, and after the assessment, he was promoted to a copywriter in the Chengying Affairs Office.

However, as soon as he heard the name of the Special Forces, he had other thoughts.

"That's right, it's me, Huo Yuanjia. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. I miscalculated." Zhao Bingjun said expressionlessly.

"If you were holding a knife or a gun in your hand, I would have died long ago. I have three plaques on my body. Huo will admit it and give you one willingly." Even if he took out a piece from his bosom and threw it to Zhao Bingjun.

Zhao Bingjun's fair and beardless face was finally a little moved. He knew his strengths and weaknesses. Among these reserve players, he was undoubtedly behind him, so as soon as he entered the forest, he found a place to lurk all the time. , eating the lizards that pass by and the moss that grows next to it.

Although this can ensure that the wooden card will not be lost, Zhao Bingjun thinks it is better to grab an extra piece just to be on the safe side. Huo Yuanjia who came later will undoubtedly become his prey.

It's just that the prey was too good, beyond his expectation.

For Huo Yuanjia's behavior, he is noncommittal. If he is Huo Yuanjia, not only will he not give it away, but he will grab it back. a good friend.

Thinking of this, Zhao Bingjun stepped forward, caught the wooden sign, and with a difficult smile on his face, he replied: "Then Zhao will be disrespectful, your friend Zhao has made a deal."

"Happy, come, brother Zhao, I just caught a snake, you and I are going to have a good meal." Huo Yuanjia pointed to the snake hanging on the branch and said with a smile.

After the two peeled the skin, Huo Yuanjia picked the snake on the round spade and picked it into pieces. The two sat on a large stone and ate it with relish.

"Brother Zhao, you have been a soldier, have you ever heard that there is a special force in the Qing Dynasty?" Huo Yuanjia asked curiously while eating.

Zhao Bingjun shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the special forces team is the original creation of my Dingliao army. According to the current training situation, as long as we persevere to the end, we may all be able to become independent figures."

Huo Yuanjia was thoughtful.
