Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 611 Promotion
Guan Xuqing knew that the reporter's question showed the current urgency of the Soviet Union, but before the future situation was uncertain, he could not make any effective commitments to the Soviet Union arbitrarily, so he had no choice but to play Tai Chi on this issue. "As you said, China and the Soviet Union are an anti-war alliance, and they stand firmly together politically, but it is still too early to make a decision to send troops to aid. This is mainly based on two considerations. First, the Sino-Korean and Sino-Japanese wars have just ended. The empire has invested huge manpower, material and financial resources in these two wars. Before the war, the empire issued war bonds to the people. Out of support for their own country, my people Buying enthusiastically has raised a lot of funds for this war. Now that the war is over, what the empire has to do immediately is to find a way to return this fund to the people. I believe that any country in the world will do the same Yes, besides, the empire needs a period of time to recuperate after the war, and the Soviet Union will definitely understand this path. Second, the Soviet Union has a standing army of 500 million people, with all kinds of light and heavy artillery, chariots, tanks and other weapons readily available. In terms of strength, it is not inferior to the Germans. I believe that the Soviet army has only suffered a temporary setback, and will definitely win in the near future. Of course, as an ally, China cannot remain indifferent. The empire signed a supplementary agreement with the Soviet Union a while ago , promised to provide supplies and weapons to the Soviet army, and I want to emphasize to everyone that these supplies and arms assistance are entirely out of the friendship between the two countries and are completely free gifts.”

A young female reporter stood up and said, "Your Majesty, hello, I am a reporter from The Washington Post. Although I am an American, my colleagues and I are all admirers of you. Today I can We are all very happy to see your true face here. Why do you have extraordinary wisdom and excellent decision-making ability, as a great emperor, do you have any secrets to reveal in this regard?"

Guan Xuqing said with a smile: "Thank you, everyone has seen it, and I am nothing special, unlike the red-eyed, red-haired, four-armed ones portrayed by some foreign media."

The female reporter and the reporters present burst out laughing.

Guan Xuqing added: "Since you have asked this question, I can tell you that there is no secret. I do things out of consideration for the interests of the people of the empire, so the people of the empire support and respect me. For your own enjoyment, regardless of the suffering of the people, such a regime will not last long. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

The female reporter nodded with a smile, and said: "Your Majesty, I have another question. During the Sino-Japanese War, China dropped a super weapon called atomic bombs on major cities. Regarding this weapon, do you know?" Is it convenient to reveal some information here?"

When Guan Xuqing heard that the reporter was a reporter, he first had a chat, and then changed the subject to the most sensitive issue. He still smiled and said: "This weapon is indeed called an atomic bomb, but it is not a super weapon. The photos and related introductions of the empire have already been reported by the media of the empire, so I don’t need to introduce them in detail. What I want to say is that this weapon is not used to deal with righteous countries, but those countries that are anti-human and anti-peace should be careful Now, if you continue to persist in your obsession, it is very likely that you will have a taste of this weapon in the future."

By this time, the main questions have basically been answered, and Guan Xuqing has also expressed the diplomatic position of the empire. The remaining questions mainly involve some specific diplomatic directions and bilateral affairs with certain countries, etc. Guan Xuqing asked Wu Tingfang and others to continue Answering the reporter's question, he left the press conference and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Seeing that Xu Shichang was waiting outside the hall, Xu Shichang hurriedly greeted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you said you would summon him a few days ago, but now I have transferred him back from the front line."

"Oh? What about people?"

"Because of the first meeting, I was afraid that he would offend the emperor because he didn't understand the rules of the palace, so he was asked to wait outside the Meridian Gate."

"Xuan Jin."

"twitter."

After about a cup of tea, Xu Shichang led him into the Hall of Mental Cultivation. "I kowtow to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Get up." Guan Xuqing looked at this young officer in full bloom. Unlike the photo, he is not fat. On the contrary, he looks a little thin, but his limbs are very long. The unique bald head and sharp eyes reveal an incomparable heroism , coupled with the army officer uniform on his body, he looks very heroic and chic. "I heard that you performed very well in this battle against Japan. Although you are young, you have shown the decisiveness and calmness that a soldier should have at critical moments. I especially appreciate the Nagasaki that you have single-handedly run for me. Massacre, if you have the courage and insight, the future must be boundless. Haha"

It was the first time I met the emperor, and I heard that the emperor is the best choice for both wisdom and strategy, and the emperor quickly praised others face to face. Today, he got such a compliment when we met, which made him a little surprised Those who didn't make it, immediately said respectfully: "This is all due to the emperor's wise decision, and the support of Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhang and other adults. Zhongzheng only did some trivial things. If you want to say credit for it, I would never dare to say it." take charge."

Xu Shichang whispered to him beside him: "Zhongzheng, just now I have repeatedly asked you to be careful with the prelude. The emperor said that you have meritorious service, and you are meritorious. It is absolutely irreversible to violate the emperor's will."

He blushed, and responded in a low voice, his heart was already up and down, and he really didn't know how to handle this properly.

Guan Xuqing waved his hand and said to Xu Shichang: "Bu Wu, there are only three of us at this moment, so don't be too cautious about what you say. Are you soldiers after all? I still like to listen to the truth."

Xu Shichang cupped his hands: "Cha."

"Zhongzheng, although the Nagasaki massacre was done beautifully, you have the blood of tens of thousands of people on your hands, and although the mainland is almost wiped out, there are still many expatriates scattered all over the world. Now I heard that many people Are you afraid that they are going to tear you into pieces?" Guan Xuqing's voice suddenly became deep, which made people shudder.

There was a thump in his heart, fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, he knew that the emperor was testing himself, if the performance was just right, he might be appreciated by the emperor, otherwise he would annoy the emperor. In vain.He hesitated for half a minute, and then he said, "My Majesty, people are extremely vicious and their crimes cannot be punished. Hundreds of thousands of people are nothing. Now I just regret why I didn't kill a few more people at the beginning. As for I don't care about my own safety, I only know how to serve the country and kill enemies for the country, I think the rest is not something that a soldier should consider."

This time Xu Shichang gave a thumbs up secretly, applauding his subordinate's answer.

Sure enough, Guan Xuqing raised his voice and said: "Well said! A man is born between heaven and earth. He should be able to distinguish between good and evil. He should do a vigorous career for the country and the people. People are not as good as pigs and dogs. The more you kill , the empire will have more peace." He paused, and then said: "I heard that you are very insightful about the current situation, and I ask you, now that the Sino-Japanese war has just ended, what should the empire do in terms of military affairs?"

"Your servant is blunt. This matter concerns the overall situation of the empire, and I dare not speak nonsense."

"Zhongzheng, since the emperor asks you, you should know everything and say everything." Xu Shichang reminded from the side.

Guan Xuqing smiled and nodded, watching.

"Cha." After a little calculation, he said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the immediate priority is not to rush to attack the Germans. At present, the war has just ended. Although our army is invincible, after all, the two wars After that, the loss of personnel and materials was not small. During the First World War, our army’s strategy of supporting war with war achieved miraculous results, but at this time and at that time, our country defeated Russia and obtained a large number of troops from East Siberia. Mineral resources have indeed had a great effect on the development of the empire. However, the empire did not receive direct economic benefits from the Sino-Korean and Sino-Japanese wars. The loss of all aspects of the army still needs to be supported by the empire's economy. It was a time for the army to cultivate and adjust, and I dared to put forward eight words called the strategy of 'gather momentum and advance slowly, and support the war with the people'. In addition, in the two wars, the empire has fully demonstrated its strong military strength. In a short period of time, the Germans are still afraid to point the finger at us, this is a good time for self-cultivation."

Guan Xuqing couldn't help being overjoyed when his words were well-organized and well-founded. He stood up and applauded, saying yes: "Zhongzheng's words are reasonable, and I think so too." Xu Shichang was also happy for the outstanding performance of his subordinates.

Guan Xuqing pondered for a moment, then said loudly: "Listen to the order!"

Stunned on the spot, not knowing what was going on for a while, Xu Shichang hurriedly tugged at his sleeves: "Zhongzheng, the emperor is going to reward you, why don't you kneel down and accept the order?"

Quickly knelt down: "The minister accepts the order."

"In the Sino-Japanese War, killing the enemy made great achievements. I specially appointed you as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southwest Military Region to assist Liu Mingchuan and others in guarding the southwest gate for me. Thank you!"

What!Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Southwest Military Region?Unable to believe what he heard for a long time, Xu Shichang winked at him anxiously, and said in a low voice, "Why are you still staring, why don't you hurry up and give me an order to thank you."

It was like waking up from a dream, and he prostrated himself on the ground and said loudly, "Thank you for the order, my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

"Get up." Guan Xuqing stepped down from Danxi, came to the front, and said with a smile: "Zhongzheng, fighting against Japan is to expand the frontier, guarding the southwestern provinces is to guard the frontier, the two have the same priorities, but different emphases. Frontier defense lies in raising troops and training them, and when you arrive in the Southwest Military Region, you should put your strategy of 'supporting war with the people' to good use, and if you can achieve miraculous results, I will push it to the whole country."

"I will definitely remember the emperor's instruction firmly."
