Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 674 Why Do You Want To Fuck India?

The ministers all smiled, and said one after another: "Go back to the emperor, we have eaten."

Guan Xu smiled lightly, then recovered his solemn look, and said loudly: "An accident happened in the waters on the Sino-Indian border today, Zixiang, tell me about it."

Liu Buchan strode out of the shift, bowed to the emperor, and then turned around and said: "At about 7:30 this morning, in the waters 120 nautical miles from the north of Sumatra Island, the imperial fishing boat was attacked by an Indian patrol ship. When they arrived in the waters where the incident occurred, they attacked two Indian patrol ships, causing one to sink and one to escape. Then our patrol ship issued a message to the world in the form of a clear telegram: "China has officially taken over the Andaman Islands and Exercise sovereignty over the island. 'Currently, our patrol ships are going around the island for vigilance, and the Indian attack warships may arrive at the Andaman Islands at any time, so the situation is very critical."

After saying these words, Liu Buchan took a big breath, his chest heaved violently, he didn't know whether it was nervousness or excitement.People involuntarily let out a burst of exclamation, no one thought that this incident would come so suddenly, more importantly, today the emperor called everyone together to announce this news in public, which seems to have foreshadowed the importance of this incident to people sex.

Guan Xuqing waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "I called you here today just to hear your opinions. Now that things have become serious, what do you think should be done?"

Sheng Xuanhuai, minister of the Ministry of Commerce, went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter involves the relationship between China and India. If it is not handled properly, it may make the situation worse. At present, the empire is developing and building. If it leads to war , I am afraid that it will have a major impact on the development of the empire, so it is better to handle this matter with caution. What I mean is to order the patrol ship to withdraw to Singapore immediately, and at the same time to explain the process of the matter through a note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to India. Solve it through diplomatic means and turn hostility into friendship."

Minister of Industry Yang Rui also said: "Yes, I agree with Xingsun's opinion. It is better not to escalate this matter. The overall peace of the empire is hard-won and must not be easily destroyed."

Minister of Education Kang Youwei also said: "How can I, a Chinese leader like me, care about a small country like India? It is unwise to make a big loss because of a small loss. It is a villain's deed to be rewarded, not to mention the educational cause of the empire. In the ascendant, money is needed everywhere, and if there is another war, no one can afford it."

Immediately afterwards, Yang Du from the Ministry of Culture, Yang Shiqi from the Ministry of Development and Planning, and other civil officials spoke in favor of a peaceful solution.The situation on the scene seemed to have formed an overwhelmingly peaceful tone in an instant.

However, the military chiefs headed by Xu Shichang and Liu Buchan held another view. Xu Shichang deliberately let the Ministry of the Army show its hand in front of the emperor and the ministers, and looked back at the officers standing behind him. On the body of Jiang Baili, director of the Research Department.

Speaking of Jiang Baili, he can be said to be a genius in the military field of the empire. He has amazing attainments in military theory research and has published many books. He also serves as the director of the Military Research Agency.In his first year as principal, a miracle happened that shocked the whole school.

It was the second month of Yuan Shikai's rebellion. It was just dawn, and more than 1 faculty members and students from all over the school gathered in front of the Martial Arts Hall to listen to the principal's urgent lecture.Jiang Baili said in a low tone: "When I first came to our school, I taught you that you must do what I want you to do. I must also do what you want me to do. If you can't do it, I want to do it." Punish you. I can't do it, and I have to punish myself. Now it seems that you are all right, and you have not done anything wrong to me. When the country suffers from natural and man-made disasters, and seeing Yuan go against the trend and occupy a large area of ​​Nanyang, we It is a great shame to me that I am not able to protect China as a soldier, and I cannot fulfill my duties as a principal. I am sorry for you and you should not move, and you must muster up the courage to take on the great responsibility of China's future!" Speaking of here , He actually pulled out a pistol from his waist.Seeing that the situation was not good, the orderly rushed forward and tried to grab the gun. The muzzle of the gun tilted, and with a "bang", the bullet was shot between the ribs.

Hearing the gunshot, everyone in the audience was stunned: the principal committed suicide!
After the gunfire, the students in the front row rushed up, carried Jiang Baili into the principal's office, and made him lie flat on the bed.The school's academic affairs office quickly reported the matter to the Minister of Education, Kang Youwei. Kang Youwei did not dare to delay and reported it to Feng Xianghua.

Guan Xuqing also gasped when he heard this, and thought that this Jiang Baili is really a bloody man. What is the difference between cultivating military talents for the empire and going to battle to kill the enemy? He immediately said to Feng Xianghua: "This trauma should not be delayed. It’s better to find a western doctor. You will only know Wu Tingfang, tell him to go to the German legation, and ask them to send the best surgeon. If necessary, use a military plane to pick him up. In short, Jiang Baili can’t have an accident. Talent is rare. "

A quarter of an hour later, the German legation immediately dispatched two resident doctors to the mainland for emergency treatment.Guan Xuqing issued two more orders, one ordering Zhang Yaoting, the director of the school's academic affairs, to act as the principal temporarily, and the other ordering Zhao Bingjun to go to the mainland to investigate the truth of the incident.

The next morning, Guan Xuqing called Xu Shichang, and Xu Shichang reported that after investigation by the Ministry of the Army, Principal Jiang committed suicide for another reason, which had nothing to do with the Ministry of the Army.After hearing this, Guan Xuqing said: "Don't worry about this matter, the Ministry of the Army, and don't listen to your subordinates!" Xu Shichang was very embarrassed.

Before Jiang Baili committed suicide, he left suicide notes to his mother, Zhang Yaoting, the director of academic affairs of the school, and his friend Cai E.The letter to his mother said: "To be loyal to the country, although death is not important, it is beneficial to the future of the army and the empire. I hope that I can arouse the conscience of the rebels with my own blood."

After Jiang Baili's suicide and the publication of his suicide note, there was an uproar in the country.Cai E, who was suppressing rebellion in Nanyang, was the first to fire a cannon and electrified the whole country, hoping that the court would thoroughly investigate the matter and hold him accountable.Imperial Prime Minister Liang Qichao also said: "If the case does not come to light, we will not let it go." There were a lot of telegrams from various groups expressing condolences to Jiang Baili, and there were endless telegrams demanding to find out the truth of the matter.The students of the Imperial Continent, according to the provincial nationality, nominate one person from each province to form a petition team to the cabinet.

Fortunately, when Jiang Baili committed suicide, because the orderly stepped forward to grab the gun, the bullet missed and did not hurt the heart, but scratched the surface of the lung.Although a lot of blood accumulated in the abdominal cavity, his life was not in danger at the moment.After a period of recuperation, the body slowly recovered.Fortunately, as soon as he recovered from his injury, he called the news media to publicly clarify the truth, stating that the suicide incident was his own recklessness and had nothing to do with other things, and the turmoil gradually subsided.

At this time, in the court hall, seeing Xu Shichang winking at him, Jiang Baili understood, calmed down and said loudly: "Your servant, Jiang Baili, has something to say." As he spoke, he strode out of the class and came to stand under Danxi.

Guan Xuqing knew that this person had unique views on military affairs and current affairs, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Baili, if you have something to say, just say it. What do you think?"

Jiang Baili bowed, made a four-way bow to the civil and military officials present, and then said: "I am short-sighted, and I have not spoken properly. Please correct me. I think that since the matter has come to an end At this level, compromise and concession will only fuel India's arrogance. In the relationship between countries, it is impossible to make a conclusion about who is right and who is wrong in this kind of matter. The key to sticking to a word is to see who can overwhelm the opponent and whose strength can force the opponent to make concessions. The emperor has told us many times that war is also a kind of political investment, but the risk is much greater in comparison, but After comparing the strengths of China and India, we have nothing to worry about even if this incident leads to a war. Once we win, our gains will be dozens or even hundreds of times what we invested in the war .”

Jiang Baili took a few steps in the hall leisurely, and said slowly: "First of all, it is the comparison of the national strengths of the two countries. India has just been established for a few years, and most of the country is still a mess left by the United Kingdom. It is impossible to catch up with me. Not to mention. In terms of military expenditure, the current annual military budget of the empire is about 14 billion dragon coins, while according to our knowledge, the Indian military budget is only equivalent to 4 million dragon coins. In recent years, in order to quickly catch up with China's military strength, India has given up India has spent a large amount of investment in industrial construction and desperately increased its military expenditure. In the past few years, India's annual military expenditure has grown at an average rate of 18% per year. India will catch up with us in two years. What's worse is that a large part of India's military expenditure is used to buy military equipment from the United Kingdom, and now it has surpassed France to become the largest arms importer of the United Kingdom. The military expenditure of the empire focuses on In terms of improving logistics facilities and independent research and development of armaments. The difference cannot be counted.”

"The third is the comparison of military equipment. First of all, let's talk about aviation technology. China is the first country in the world to have fighter jets, and the performance of the empire's fighter jets is also the first in the world so far. Although India has also established an air force, it retains India has a certain number of fighter jets, but India’s fighter jets have always relied on technical assistance from Britain, France and other countries. They do not yet have a complete set of production capabilities, and have not obtained complete aviation technology capabilities. Both methods require a large amount of military and economic support. As for the navy, India does not have a strong shipbuilding industry, and domestic warships must rely on foreign countries to provide all their technology. If foreign technical assistance is lost, India's shipbuilding industry will be paralyzed immediately. India has hoped for many years It has its own submarines, but cannot receive technical support from relevant countries, and has no research and development capabilities. As for the army, India still does not have a complete independent production capacity for army weapons and equipment. For example, importing cannons requires importing shells. The tanks developed and produced by India itself are not wanted by the Indian Army itself. India’s military development is extremely unbalanced. The empire’s military expenditures are roughly used for equipment procurement, maintenance, personnel, and training, while India’s military expenditures are mainly headcount and equipment procurement fees. , and the proportion of training and equipment maintenance costs is obviously unreasonable.”
