Chapter 204 The wind in the Far East is going to change again!

Ryukyu.

In the back garden of the villa, a betel nut tree is as straight as a pole with the sea breeze. A rattan chair under the tree sways slowly. Master Li lies on the chair, like a naughty child. His toes click on the ground from time to time, so that the rocking chair always has no chance to stop.

As the Russian troops in Liaodong and Fengtian put down their weapons one after another and were supervised on the spot, the situation in the three northeastern provinces suddenly became clear. Although Jilin and Heilongjiang are still under the control of the Russian army, it is a question whether they will continue to resist without the main force and no backup. You should know that it is easy to fight, but even the most elite Cossack cavalry may not be able to eat it down.

Zhao Long, who is leading the troops to the north, no longer needs to fight one by one, but to invest in more complicated surrender and on-site supervision. Presumably, he can't get a few battles. It must be very depressed, right?

Thinking of this, Li Mo not only smiled, but also returned to his usual rhythm. He finally had time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at Li Mo, who was as naughty as a child, Chen Ping and Li Enfu next to him looked at each other and smiled. Only at this time can they remember that Master Li had just turned 18 years old!

Compared with Li Enfu, who joined later, Chen Ping sighed a lot. From Lushun's escape arrest as a hardman seven years ago, he seized the ship and went to Canada to search for gold, and then to Hawaii, Chile. The teenager in front of him led everyone around the vast Pacific Ocean, and now he can finally return to China!

Lushun! The place where he used to dream was close at hand with Li Enfu's arrival from Hawaii.

Li Enfu came to Ryukyu from Hawaii three days ago to participate in the final negotiations. Since the destruction of Vladivostok, peace talks have become the only choice for the Russians! Of course, they can also choose to advance from the northern land immediately, but if they do so, it is possible to break out a full-scale Qing-Russian war, coupled with supply difficulties, even Russia, which is known as the world's first in the army, may have to consider it again and again.

Because doing so, it will not only stand completely on the hostile side of the Qingzheng axe, but also attract the strong attention of Britain, Germany and other countries. Most importantly, even if the land wins, the Honolulu people can leave the sea and leave the back of the head for the Russian army.

Since it can't fight, there is only negotiations left. Now Yuanshan Port has also been lost. Russia has no place to stop a sangboard in the Far East. Not to mention dealing with the Pacific Fleet like Zhongtian, there are only a few small cruisers left.

The Russians are not fools. Although Nicholas II is cruel, he is not stupid. Otherwise, their father and son would not attach so much importance to sea power and build a world's third navy. Unfortunately, Master Li stole the fruit of victory by a monkey.

Ropanov set out of St. Petersburg half a month ago. The Russian Foreign Minister had just returned from Yanjing and had to turn back again. Because of the long way, it would take him at least a month to arrive.

So Li Enfu looked so relaxed after he arrived. He was not in a hurry to enter the negotiation state. Instead, he leisurely accompanied the young master to make oolong tea under the betel tree.

The Liaodong Peninsula has reached the final stage, and most of the fleets have entered the maintenance and adjustment of the Ryukyu Shipyard. The sailors, under the leadership of Long Guozhang, summarized the naval battle. This post-war summary seems to have become a tradition of the Pacific Army, so Chen Ping, the chief of staff, also learned from Li Da. The young master acted as a shopkeeper and handed over the work to Zhang Zuolin and others in the name of exercising his men. He also rushed to the distant sea villa for tea.

"I said you two, you won't come to me to cheat for tea." Looking at the two of them chatting with each other, Master Li finally ended the boring game of shaking the chair and curled his lips.

"The young master's tea is delicious." Li Enfu raised a cup again. After that, he smelled the bottom of the cup and said with a smile, "Dahongpao, the emperor's good drink, it really lives up to its reputation."

"Mr. Li is still awesome. I haven't known that this tea is Dahongpao after drinking for so long." Chen Ping laughed and looked up.

"Come on, my great staff officer, a Li Enfu is enough. Don't pretend to be a man! During this period, you guys have ruined my big red robe!" Master Li dropped three black lines on his forehead. Lin Yongxiang finally got them for himself. There were only three jars in total. Unexpectedly, when Li Qiang came last time, he let Xiaoxiao take them out and show off. These bandits thought about it and came to drink tea every now and then, which was almost bottom!

"Haha."

As soon as Master Li finished speaking, both of them laughed. After laughing, Chen Ping didn't forget to betray him. He smiled and said, "Young master, don't blame us. This is Li Qiang's betrayal of you."

There are more black lines on Master Li's head. You are still the chief of staff. Captain Eagle has betrayed him even last night. Hey, it's really bad to meet people!

Li Enfu put down the teacup with a smile, cleared his throat, and straightened the topic: "Although Dahongpao is the best, it is time to taste the ginseng in Northeast China."

"Gin Ginseng is a good thing." Chen Ping also put down the teacup: "But if you want to rely on it to nourish your body and live a long life, you still need enough heat."

"Oh, what's new?" Hearing the meaning of Chen Ping's words, Li Mo immediately asked.

Chen Ping nodded: "The United Kingdom has already sent observers. In addition, France, Germany, the United States and other countries have also sent special envoys one after another. According to the information we have, the ambassadors of various countries to Beijing seem to move very frequently. Ogner even visited the Russian ambassador Kasini, although he does not know him at present. We are talking about something, but one thing is certain. They don't seem to want to see us occupy the three northeastern provinces.

"In addition, it seems that the Qing court is also actively moving troops to the north. At present, the troops transferred from Zhili and Shandong have arrived at Shanhaiguan, with about 20,000 people. According to intelligence, Mongolia does not seem to have stopped."

"Do the Mongols also want to send troops?" Li Enfu is a little big. Now what the Pacific Army is most afraid of is the cavalry. Once Mongolia intervenes, it will undoubtedly be a difficult challenge for the soldiers on the front line at this moment.

Although Taiwan's automobile factory has been built and put into trial production, the diesel engine technology has also not made much progress, the gasoline engine horsepower is too small, and the car will not be put into military use for a while. In addition, the captured and purchased war horses can only be animal forces because of the lack of high-quality cavalry in the army. The troop's mobility is really worrying. At this time, once it meets Mongolian cavalry, it can only be defended!

Does it mean that the wind direction has changed?

Li Mo disapproved of the information brought by Chen Ping. He smiled and said, "In fact, it's still the same. These powers can't allow us to continue to grow up. The Russian invasion of the northeast is a threat to them. We defeated the Russian army, and the threat became us."

"As for Shanhaiguan and Mongolia." Li Mo thought for a moment and outlined the corners of his mouth: "My staff officer, don't let Ji Rushan's guys be idle. What should you do? Now that you have taken this step, don't worry too much!"

Chen Ping nodded and understood what Li Mo meant. Even Li Enfu, who doesn't know much about the military, knows that the young master is going to show off his power completely. He can't help laughing: "I'm afraid Tianjin will be in chaos for a while."

"Let's be in chaos. What does it have to do with us?!" Chen Ping's eyes flashed coldly and snorted coldly, "Well, if it really drives me, I don't mind letting the Qing army taste what it's like to be covered by real artillery!"

When he said this, he looked at Li Enfu again, and the corners of his mouth collapsed: "But then again, the fleet is also going to rest for a period of time. Should we consider the issue of the army?"

Seeing Chen Ping clenched his teeth and looked like a man, Li Enfu didn't know what he was thinking. From the first day he came to Ryukyu, the army expansion plan was put on his desk. Now he brought up the old things again. He hurriedly laughed and scolded, "O all right, don't put up this virtue with me. I don't know yet. What do you think?

"In a word, expansion is okay, but the plan must be narrowed!"

There is a door! After pestering Li Enfu for a few days, he finally saw that he was relieved at this moment. Chen Ping secretly patted his thigh, regardless of the sudden change of the wind in the Far East, and quickly asked, "How much do you think Mr. Li should be reduced?"

"Five divisions, in addition to the newly formed fifth division, each division adds one more regiment. In addition, the Marine Corps also adds one regiment, which is my bottom line!" Li Enfu stared at Chen Ping and said what he thought.

"Shrunk by half, and get rid of the fifth division!" Hearing Li Enfu's words, Chen Ping was like a kitten who was stepped on its tail. He shook his head and waved his hand: "No, the Fifth Division cannot be excluded. In addition, I have ordered the Marines to take over Jeju Island and Tsushima Island. The troops stationed in North Korea will definitely react. Once the sea passage is cut off, in case the army crosses the Yalu River at this moment, you let What can I do to resist?

Seeing Li Enfu reaching out to touch the teacup, Chen Ping grabbed it quickly and held it in his arms: "No, you have to add more, or I'll drink this tea for you!"

This move immediately made Li Enfu laugh and cry, laughing and scolding, "Chen Ping, you are also the head of the Luhai staff. How can you be so rogue?"

"A scoundrel is a scoundrel. Now you must give me the bottom in front of the young master." Chen Ping was also fierce. He held the teapot and didn't put it down: "This time, I offended Lao Long. He wants to bite me when he sees me these days. If you let me offend Zhao Long, I will go to your house for dinner every day!"

What a big threat!

Looking at the two people fighting on the side, Master Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Unexpectedly, Chen Ping valued the expansion of the army so much that he even gave up the five captured Russian [***] ships in exchange for strengthening the army.

However, it can also be seen that the staff is indeed starting to deal with Japan. Otherwise, with the strength of the Qing army and the Mongolian cavalry who have long lost their bravery, they would not have made him so anxious.

Just as the two were arguing, Duan Fei quietly walked behind Li Mo and handed over a piece of information: "Young master, North Korea is calling."

Li Mo took over the telegram and glanced his face stiffly. This strange move suddenly made Li Enfu and Chen Ping forget to bargain and turn their heads one after another.

Put the information on the coffee table, Li Mo tiptoed a little again, the lounge chair squeaked, and a killing flashed in his eyes: "This morning, the two coalitions of the Japanese army were stationed in Yizhou!"

"What!"

This sudden news suddenly changed the faces of the two people on the opposite side. At this time, why did the Japanese army suddenly enter Yizhou across the river from Andong? Are they going to retaliate against the previous bombardment of Yuanshan Port?

I said that I have such a bold son?!

Looking at the thin piece of paper, the two smelled a strange smell at the same time.

The wind in the Far East is going to change again! ......
