Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Wei Tuoma thought about it carefully. "Right now, the Russian navy has been completely wiped out by Xiao Letian, which means to say, the ocean benefits that our British Empire is most concerned about will not be challenged! "Then can we change our strategy and help out the Russian Army, which is about to be defeated?"

"Indian Ocean, Malacca, South Sea, Hong Kong, Shanghai … There are a total of 45 warships that we can use, the elite British Royal Navy is not something that the stupid bear like Sha Russia can compare to. Adding to the French warships, our two countries' naval forces are more than enough to destroy Xiao Letian's navy, especially his Zhiyuan Warship! "

"How about this! With limited intervention, we will not expand the war, and we will use the sinking of the Zhiyuan Warship as a punishment... This can also be considered a gift to the Prime Minister and those people of City before you return! "

Wei Tuoma was indeed an experienced man who was well versed in politics. His diplomatic tactics were flexible and changeable, but in his eyes, the world did not have any differences between enemies or allies.

Why did Britain watch Xiao Letian from the other side of the river without stopping him? That was because the enmity between the Russia and the rest had expanded his power in the Asian Far East Region too quickly. He had already threatened the interests of the United Kingdom in Asia, but this threat had not reached the point where it was imminent.

There was a trend but it did not reach its climax, so a direct military conflict was not wise. In this kind of situation, the best way to deal with it was to avoid it and support another power to fight against the Russian. This was the most effective method.

But there's a limit to everything, and I'm supporting you because I want you to be of use to me, not as an inexperienced ingrate. Britain's core interests are at sea, in ports, and in the Golden Passage.

Now, the navy that Sha Russia had sent to Asia had been completely destroyed by Xiao Letian. This way, the most feared threat in Britain would naturally disappear. The ports in East Asia and the golden waterway to prosperity would be safe.

If he continued to support Xiao Letian at this time, not only would he not achieve his British strategic objective, he would also bring out a strong opponent. After all, the achievements of the Zhiyuan Warship was simply too glorious, the naval experts and engineers in Britain had all gone crazy, they were frantically researching and developing new warships similar to the Zhiyuan Warship.

In Wei Tuoma's heart, she had taught a lesson to the bears of the north. Now, she had to teach the hunting dogs of the south a lesson as well.

"Right now, I think maintaining the situation in the Far East should be our next strategic goal. Far East Region is after all, a land ceded by the contract between Sha Russia and the Qing Dynasty, and this is a legal treaty. Xiao Letian's interference is illegal!"

"I think we should first issue a statement emphasizing the British position of peace. We should have both sides return to the negotiating table immediately to maintain the current border. The Far East Boxers must stop some armed actions!"

"I know that Xiao Letian will definitely not agree to it, and of course they will not listen to our statements. On the contrary, they will continue to increase the number of troops they have to try to settle the battle as soon as possible, and at this time, we have the words to intervene!"

"Hehe …" Peace! "Long live peace. As long as we use the banner of peace, reason will naturally stand by our side. Who can say that it is wrong for us to maintain peace?"

"When the Far East battle is at its most accumulated, our Navy was dispatched to attack that tyrant in search for Zhiyuan Warship, exterminating that arrogant warship. Then, we forced Xiao Letian to sit at the negotiating table, bringing the situation of the Far East back to how it was before!"

"Hahaha, at that time, there will be no change to our map, nor to the territories and territories of the various countries in Asia, but the blood of Sha Russia and the Chinese have almost dried up, so the two weak opponents will naturally be able to keep us British Empire safe in Asia for fifty years!"

"This is the Asia I want, this is the strategy we in Britain should have!"

Wei Tuoma's high-spirited aura affected Sir Ai Liguo. The old diplomat held his hand excitedly and said, "Very good, a young person's abilities must be respected! "I am relieved to have you as the minister of the Kingdom of Qing. You are lucky to have such a meticulous plan in your heart and have been able to remain calm!"

"Very good, this plan is up to you! I will be the greatest help to you. As long as I have it, I will support you with everything I have! "

The two of them held hands, and at that moment, they were so excited that tears rose from their eyes, "For British Empire! For Her Majesty the Queen! Let us fight! Stepping on the bones of the non-humankind to create the glory of our nation! Victory! "

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the report of a military official of the Legation. "Reporting to the Minister, there's another urgent message from Shanghai!"

Wei Tuoma took the message and looked carefully. She couldn't help but frown, "Oh my god! When did the Chinese become so efficient that the Suzhou stock market was open this morning? The market value for the entire morning has reached thirty million silver taels? "

controls the Jiangnan stock market, so his military expenditures will not be a problem. The war in the Far East will definitely speed up! Our plan has to be advanced, so we must now meet with the Minister of France … "

Before he finished, the officer ran in while gasping for breath, "Telegram, there's another telegram, this time it's from Xiao Letian!"

Ai Liguo read the message three times carefully, and in the end stared at Wei Tuoma in disbelief, "Oh my god! How did Xiao Letian know about my journey? How did he know that I am going to return to Hong Kong on a boat at Tanggu in five days' time? "

"He is going to have an informal meeting with me on the Yellow Sea! Furthermore, they said that this discussion is about the life and death of British Empire in Asia! "

Wei Tuoma was also stunned, "At this critical juncture, if he does not control Jiangnan and fight in the Far East, why would she come to see you? This didn't make sense! Is he trying to show us good will? But there was no need to spend so much time and effort to meet him on the Yellow Sea! Is there something you can't say in the telegram? "

"Could it be that he guessed that I was going to deal with him? "What a joke! This plan of mine has only just been formed from the depths of my mind, how could he know about it when it was just presented?"

Ai Liguo frowned and thought for a moment. Since he wanted to meet with me, he must have something very important to say. There is no one in the world that we British diplomats would not dare to meet. "Send a telegram to him saying that I will leave Qingqing according to the plan and that I will be waiting for him on the Yellow Sea!"
