Chapter 208 No merit will not be paid

Hu Chuyuan saw the whole situation very clearly. He was in a relatively long-term economic recession and did not have the ability to threaten China for the time being. At most, there was a large-scale naval battle between China and Russia, and he found an excuse to send troops to benefit from it.

The renewal of the Russian navy is not strong, and the overall thinking ratio is very backward. In the era of ironclad cruisers, there are a large number of warships on the surface, but in fact, most of them can't stand it.

One of the main problems now is the Franco-Russian alliance. Playing against Russia is equivalent to playing against France, which is a very annoying problem.

He believes that the situation in the Far East will be very stable within ten years. Once the war starts, it will be a very large-scale war. Therefore, in the current situation, there is no need to expand the size of the navy to the level of Britain and France. It is reasonable to maintain between 350,000 tons and 400,000 tons for a long time.

The Qing navy may no longer be under his control, but in terms of the whole technology and development trend... even the specific personnel transfer is still up to him. The most important thing is that only he can mobilize those generals.

Therefore, once Hu Chuyuan agrees, this is the final conclusion. Zhang Baixi only needs to send the resolution to Emperor Guangxu for approval.

After the meeting, many people wanted to talk to Hu Chuyuan alone, including Zhang Baixi. As we all know, Zhang Baixi was mostly preaching for Emperor Guangxu again and did not dare to argue with him.

Hu Chuyuan also understood this in his heart, so he asked others to go back to rest first, leaving Zhang Baixi only in the conference room.

The two of them drank a little tea and talked about some old things back then.

Zhang Baixi.

Without Hu Chuyuan, where did Zhang Baixi come from?

The relationship between them is indeed similar, just like Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang. Now, Emperor Guangxu clearly believes in some of Zhang Baixi, which will support Zhang Baixi to the position of military minister. Prince Gong Yi
