Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

Ryukyu was still not calm despite the torrential rain. The war horses on the streets were staring at the torrential rain as they dashed forward, the hot air puffing out from their noses flying in all directions.

Xiao Hexin, Sima Yun, Luo Huo... There were even Pierre, the French gold medal intelligence analyst who had been studying Chinese and the situation in East Asia. These core staff members beside Xiao Letian began to gather at the Prime Minister's Manor amidst the torrential rain.

Everyone had ugly expressions on their faces. To be able to convene an emergency meeting in such weather meant that something big must have happened. When they arrived at the small parlour and saw the latest telegram on the stone table, everyone was dumbfounded.

Xiao Hexin rubbed his injured leg, and couldn't even speak properly, "You have guts, you really have guts! "Let's prepare with both hands. On the one hand, let the Prussians try their best to mediate their plans, and on the other hand, let's prepare for war. Shrink our plans and pool our resources so that we can prepare for war!"

Luo Huo rubbed his eyes as he clapped excitedly: "Well done, really well done! He had guts, he had guts! Don't extinguish your prestige for now, you should see the good side of it! The new tactics that we've been working on on on paper have been successfully tested by these kids today … Congratulations Prime Minister! Congratulations Prime Minister! "

Wang Huaiyuan was able to calm his emotions and said indifferently, "That's right, using the battleship as the heavy artillery output platform, that way we will have the strongest firepower output. The army's cannons are unable to fight against us … "Then the infantry and the naval gun would coordinate effectively with each other in the three-dimensional crossover combat..."

"Soldiers are the eyes of naval gun, and naval gun is the spear in their hands! Such tactics were leading the entire world. The Prime Minister was truly a genius! But... "But offending France has also raised concerns in Britain. Can we have a second and a third warship in the future?"

Sigh … Wang Huaiyuan sighed, "No matter how good the tactic is, how will we fight without a battleship? Even if the Zhiyuan Warship break out of their encirclement and return, with just this warship, how can we fight against the English and French? "

A bucket of cold water sprayed out, causing Luo Huo to be stunned for a moment. Wang Huaiyuan said with lingering fear, "We really shouldn't have allowed these children to lead the way, we really should have allowed Your Highness to take the ship back yourself. Look, did something happen? "

"The Marine Corps and the new type of battleship are related to the strategic layout of the Prime Minister for decades to come. How we protect the special economic zones and establish an autonomous region in the Great Qing Dynasty all depends on the battleship!"

The people present were all people in the core circle of Xiao Letian. They had access to the core strategy with the highest density of machines, so there might be people who could not understand why Pierre, the Frenchman, could also join in.

That was because Pierre had already been convicted by France as a traitor. He had already become someone who had nowhere else to go and could not return to her country. Now, in the entire world, only Xiao Letian could rely on him.

Most importantly, Xiao Letian's future plans would require an accurate judgement of the situation in Europe, so this spy who was familiar with the internal affairs of Europe would naturally become a core member of Xiao Letian's court.

Xiao Letian looked at Pierre. At this time, he realized that Pierre's eyes were a little unfocused, as he was holding onto that piece of information, his eyes had become empty.

Everyone knew that he was thinking, and indeed, ten minutes later, Pierre opened his mouth and said, "The information is too general, and the key data are not available at all. It is very difficult for me to make a judgment …"

Just when everyone was disappointed, Pierre suddenly changed the subject. "But..." But from the whole process of the incident, the whole battle should be under our control! "

"Excuse me, but the kids who went to Europe to study were all elites. Not only were they smart, but they also received military training for half a year. Through strict discipline, they became very pragmatic. They are not the kind of nerds that study hard!"

"So, I don't think it's as serious as everyone thinks... Just one Iron-armored Ship, 180 soldiers had made it to the beach, and in the end only 36 had died … What did this mean? This means that the entire battle is being controlled, and Xiang Ying has been controlling the baton on the battlefield! "

"My suggestion is to hold down this message and wait for a follow-up telegram... "I just read that this telegram was sent to the ISI this morning. It took two hours of translation and verification before it reached the Prime Minister." Pierre took out his pocket watch and looked at it.

"It's already noon. According to the efficiency of the Prussian intelligence agency, they should have sent us an updated telegram within six hours. I think we should be on our way …"

Pierre was right, sending a telegram from Europe to Asia now would take about fifteen days, because some nodes in the middle would need to be reported back by the Telegraph operator, and some areas would even need to be reported to the different telegraph offices.

Fifteen days was already a very fast speed. It was a good thing that Ryukyu was able to successfully lay down the submarine cable from Shanghai to Hong Kong. Some areas could already be used, if not this information would take at least two months.

Fifteen days was enough for the situation to change. Now was not the era of global information networking. Attempting to control an army that was tens of thousands of miles away from the headquarters was simply a fantasy.

But Prussia had always been strict about it, and such emergencies were required to gather new information at any time and generate electricity at headquarters, usually at a maximum of six hours apart.

That is to say, after the first telegram had been sent fifteen days ago, a second telegram would have been sent about six hours ago, also in duplicate.

Before his voice could fade, a guard standing in the rain and wind ten meters away shouted out, "CIA has received the latest message. Now in the midst of a tense translation... "

With a bang, Wang Huaiyuan pushed open the door of the hall. "Let them bring a message to Prime Minister's Manor. Translate it here.

"Yes sir!" The guard saluted, turned around, and ran out.

ordered everyone to prepare lunch for them. While they were waiting, the topic of conversation once again shifted to the top secret of the Ryukyu.

This was not only a secret that all the politicians in the Great Qing and East Asia wanted to know, it was also a secret that the entire European and American worlds were eager to know.

And this secret, was only known to these few people in the parlour all over the world, even Fan Lian's wife, Xiao Letian, and the others.

"I repeat once again, my core strategy is unchangeable. Even if you understand it, you still have to implement it. Even if you don't understand it, you still have to implement it. And you don't have the power to exit … I know that you all don't quite understand, but let me say it again! "

"I, Xiao Letian, will never call myself a king, much less an emperor … If your dream is to follow me through this river, then split the profits, then this old road will be difficult for you to see again in this life! "
