Chapter 312 Thoughts on the Leisure of Years

Although the British's visit to China ended in a hurry, no one took it seriously as they said objectively and subjectively. Military operations in the south continued, and the empire had never expected that a pie would fall from the sky and smash it into Beijing. After the two sides watched each other's acting contact ended, the branch struggles that had already decided to open up had gradually become public. This era was an era of overthrowing the old order, an era of establishing a new order, and an era of revolution.

After receiving clear assistance from the Chinese who are getting closer and closer to them, Ibn Saudi's family forces expressed clear appreciation for the other party's willingness to build a ever-eternal partnership in the Middle East. In order to show respect and gratitude to His Majesty the distant monarch, Ibn Sartre strongly demanded that China could send a teaching team to assist his strength in improving military training and tactical literacy. Of course, they could also get these from the Germans, but due to their relations with Turkey and their special circumstances, the Germans would not clearly express actual support for the Saudi-led Arab independence movement.

This is also the reason why both Germany and Britain acquiesced to China's entry into Middle East affairs back then, and each school has its own difficult sutras.

The UK also supported the Arab independence movement, but the Prime Minister rashly made a speech supporting the establishment of the Jews in Palestine, which aroused dissatisfaction in the Arab world. In recent years, only the Rashid family, which opposed the Ibn Saudi family, could still have a little friendship in the Arab world.

In today's world chaos, due to the sudden change in the war situation, Britain has gradually withdrawn its tentacles from afar, which is first reflected in the Arab world.

The winter of 1912 was cold for Europe. Due to the climate, the British Admiralty had to temporarily postpone the plan to implement a large-scale landing in the hellish Gallipoli Peninsula. Winston Churchill, who was commanding his Mauser Battalion in France, was very annoyed. He protested to the country, accusing the top leaders of the British Empire of still playing with their appeasement policy. Perhaps they wanted to wait for the beginning of spring before looking at the situation of the Russians before implementing help, but they did not know that this might accelerate the demise of Russia.

But his status has now turned upside down. From the Minister of the Navy to a battalion commander of the Army Expeditionary Force, he was no longer qualified to make any remarks about the Empire's decisions.

But in fact Churchill still insists that this does not prevent him from having a correct judgment, and it has nothing to do with status.

With the advent of winter, Churchill was cold, the British Empire was cold, France was cold, Russia was cold, and the entire Allied Group could feel a little warmth in the Mediterranean, except for Italy and Greece, which was shrouded in the cold.

Of course, the Allied Group is far from being hot. A large number of troops are involved in the front line, and the conditions of materials and people's livelihood have been bad to a certain extent. The young and strong people are all led by the ruthless state machine toward death or glory, while the women, children and the elderly who stayed behind have taken on the future of their families and nations.

Only Arabia is hot, and the fire behind may continue to burn towards the east.

At the end of November, the Saudi army that had captured Riyadh began a war to conquer Neizhi and Hanzhi. Under the influence of superior firepower and people's support, his army was unstoppable, and the entire Arab world would soon unite under the iron hooves of this hero. The army of his opponent, the Rashid family, was vulnerable. Ibn Saudi, the natural heir of a dynasty, had already put a crown on himself in Riyadh before going to war. Of course, his warriors were surrounded by his side, and there were no consultants and teaching groups that he might have invited to the East for politeness.

After receiving the request from the Arab leader after formally breaking with Britain, I certainly would not approve it rashly. At present, there is no economic benefit to the Arab land. In this vast land, except for religious and strategic values, there is nothing worth the Empire's efforts. When I gave Saudi Arabia aid, I have fully considered the response of the imperial military and political circles to this matter. Many people have expressed some opposition, but perhaps because of my power, this batch of aid plans have been realized.

In fact, it is not just China. Germany and Britain did not realize that this land will become the focus of the world in the future. The large number of oil resources here will take more than ten or twenty years to be discovered. It is necessary to operate here, but they will not give real friendship.

This is exactly what the Chinese Empire did. In the name of benevolence, the Chinese Empire selflessly helped the Arabs who longed for freedom and national self-determination. The investment would sooner or later be rewarded. When Ibn Saudi Arabia suggested that China send a military delegation to assist him in the war to unify the Arabs, I just asked the General Staff and some important officials to study the plan. They all seemed to think that appropriate personnel should be sent immediately to take over the elderly Lord Ma Fulu so that he could live his life in his hometown.

Of course, this group of military personnel entered the Middle East as a counterattack against the British, and secondly, they also hoped to achieve the effect of appropriate control of the Arab forces. But after some consideration, I gave up this action. Firstly, there is no need for Saudi Arabia to unify Arabia. It has guns and some people have faith. The believers of the prophets are willing to give everything for him. Such a war of national unity is actually more like the most terrifying religious war. What's more, they have the advantageous military strength and war resources.

Secondly, there is no suitable candidate. I want the young man to go to Arabia as soon as possible. He has Islamic beliefs and backgrounds, but the Second Front Army is the best place to promote him and train him. I cannot do anything to encourage growth. Another Saudi person is far from what they imagined. He is a simple national chief. He has ambitions and is vigilant against external forces. If an inappropriate person is likely to have a counterproductive effect. If he develops a rebellion or suspicion, then everything he has done before may become in vain.

Therefore, after repeated consideration, I also denied the opinions of the military and political leaders, insisted on not sending one more person, and Dong Chengen who was there should not do too much, and tried to appear as an onlooker and a complimenter. This is the correct way to make friends.

During the Chinese New Year, several people talked about this matter, including Xu Shichang, the Chief of Staff, and Puying, the second son of the emperor, who showed a certain degree of resistance and dissatisfaction with my arrangement, and even expressed doubts and denials about the decisions I had in the past ten years that I had no way to let them understand thoroughly, which was rare in the past.

In addition to anger and helplessness, I also gradually realized why there have been rumors in the court that are not conducive to stability and unity recently.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. After all, they still have a lot of errands to do, and the talents trained in this generation of empire have developed a strong sense of responsibility for the country. With their hard work and efforts, they will of course develop too much subjective awareness of the future of this country.

Just like Liu Buchan hoped that the empire could quickly launch an attack on the south after a lot of westward movements, he had long expressed his dissatisfaction with the joint attack of the army and the navy that it would only start next year. This consideration was given to the Navy's advance attack on Singapore earlier than the Army's offensive.

Just like Pu Ying and several relatives in the royal family would occasionally complain, saying a few words about the current situation of giving Siberia to the Mongols to establish a country. Although my face was so dark that I could resolve it, I knew I could not resolve the knot in their hearts.

Just like the cabinet Dai Hongci, Qu Hongji, Zhang Jian, Sheng Xuanhuai, etc., economic and civil affairs officials are very disappointed with the empire's war in recent years. Years of war and military hoarding have forced the empire to borrow foreign debts from foreign countries. Now the money owed to the US government and private investors is worth the Imperial tax revenue for half a year. Moreover, fiscal expenditure has been tilted towards military industry and education for a long time, which is not a good situation for them to work. Of course, they are not only dissatisfied with the strong people who are jumping in the military, but of course they know that the country is still the one who is in charge of this country.

Just like some officers and soldiers of the Fourth Front Army have the same complaints as Pu Ying and others...

Of course I would not foolishly think that these complaints and dissatisfactions mean that they are going to rebel, or that the foundation of the empire is already unstable. Any country or any system will have such problems. In an imperial country, these problems are more obscure and difficult to detect, and it is not easy for dictators to deal with.

This Spring Festival also gave me this alarm. I am indeed unable to make everyone understand my ideas and principles of action 100%, but I can change a little bit. Of course, the supreme people in China cannot directly do the explanation work, and I cannot explain these complaints and complaints one by one. I can only let the propaganda machine start to start and organize a group of manpower to start a small debate on some decisions of the empire. The debate points start from the two aspects of interests and morality. If you talk too much, you will make people think. If you think too much, you will get some positive results.

There were also several new faces at the vassal gatherings in the early lunar month. Several members tried to return to this system or join the system. There were many people seeking to join the vassal system to protect the vassal system, most of which came as the Chinese Empire was about to attack the Indochina Peninsula and the Third Front Army swept across Central Asia.

Including Burma, the leader of the national independence movement in the British India Myanmar Autonomous Province, Bamu, his hope is that China can support Myanmar’s independence and state construction, and that China will start construction of the Siam Canal as soon as possible and conquer Singapore as soon as possible, so that Yangon and Bogu can be shrouded in the protection of the Imperial Royal Navy. Of course, this wish was immediately approved, giving him a reassurance. He also promised to mobilize his own strength as soon as possible to prepare for the protection of the Empire.

There are also some people from North Borneo on the list. They hope to get rid of the Dutch and welcome a more relaxed Chinese instead of Germany from Europe. I have to advise them not to worry about this for the time being. China and Germany are currently allies, so they can say hello in diplomacy, but military operations are definitely impossible.

The Khanate of Shiva still knew that the Khan of all sizes, both the Kazakhstan grasslands and the large and small areas of land currently controlled by the Third Front Army, which caused no idea where the big and small khans came out from, were exhausted by the name alone. They were quite funny and actually hoped that I could allow them to establish a country in the local area. Of course, I would not give them a bad face to see them, and I smiled vaguely and said that I could give them a title first. As for the establishment of the country, I would study it in the future. After all, the newly acquired land can be given a certain amount of autonomy. These people are easy to pass on. They received the rewards with satisfaction and went shopping, and never came to see me again.

However, Pu Hua, who returned to Beijing as a new identity, vaguely asked me under the support of two Mongolian princes. It took me a lot of effort to realize that the Mongolians seemed to have targeted the newly occupied Kazakhstan grasslands. After all, there are still few locals there, and the natural environment in Siberia is really bad. The Mongolians who traditionally shepherd horses and sheep are almost turning into tree cutters. Therefore, although the territory of New Mongolia seems to be quite large, most of them live in the area between the West Siberia and Kazakhstan grasslands. It is understandable that they salivate the fertile Kazakhstan grasslands.

However, I really cannot handle this matter. I just promised that the Khans of all sizes could support their autonomy in principle. How could they allocate this place to New Mongolian because of Pu Hua’s relationship? Moreover, the establishment of New Mongolian has already hurt the Fourth Front Army. If this is the case, the Third Front Army may not have any complaints. So I hesitated and did not give him a clear answer, only saying that I would talk about it in the future. Finally, I said, "If you want, go to the West and ask the Russians for it."

Although they didn't say it clearly, they looked very disappointed. I observed that the two princes had indeed formed a sense of belonging to Pu Hua and felt relieved. Considering the future transformation of relations with Russia, after hesitating, he still gave them some advice and said, "I think Russia is going to be in chaos soon. Some people you may need to contact. I mean, you may have to look for King Su first. They are all family." As he said that, he smiled at Gongsang Nolbu.

This is what settled the Mongols. However, this problem is not the final solution after all, and I will have to make some efforts in the future. Thinking of this level, I will feel relaxed. In this year, the situation in this area will change drastically, and I will naturally have new arrangements at that time.

On the 14th day of the year, the next day was the day when the envoys of various vassals were officially invited to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Several envoys from the Middle East to Central Asia had just arrived. The Persians seemed to be stimulated by the Arab military success and also ran to Beijing to ask for money and materials. I sent them to the General Staff and the Army Department. In this regard, I mean to count together the matters in Afghanistan and deal with them together. Once these two countries were in trouble and the establishment of a pro-China regime, it would immediately be a huge threat to India. It is not difficult to do things now, but I always feel that it is always a bit inappropriate to have them out of the cards now.

After all, the British have been shrinking. Although there are military pressures from Germany, they cannot do too many actions in one breath. After all, the current highlight is the Southern offensive of the Second Front Army. From the Indochina Peninsula to Singapore, this battle will have to train many people, and the empire will also have to pause other actions to cooperate with him. If they move too much in the West, many unexpected problems may arise in the future. Perhaps the heroes of the nation are now using China.

Therefore, in addition to Arabia, the current affairs of Central Asia to the Middle East, my will is to say good things and strengthen control. For real actions, we have to wait for the imperial edict.

The reason for this purpose is that the first is due to the war between the Second Front Army, and the other is to prepare for the great changes in Russia that have been preparing for more than ten years. According to the plan of the Military Intelligence Department, the people of St. Petersburg will launch an armed uprising after the first defeat after the spring of next year. For national interests, the empire needs to appropriately change its position on the Russian Empire, and gradually start to win over the royal family. The thawing of Sino-Russian relations and the diplomatic offensive to persuade Russia to withdraw from the war are also being prepared, which requires careful planning.

Considering the priorities of the matter, we must first aggrieved the opponents of Persia and Afghanistan. We believe that after the next battle of the empire, the situation in these places will undergo new changes, so it is enough to temporarily entertain them and not give actual promises.

Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is an extremely important festival in this era. The entire city of Beijing and even the entire empire were immersed in a joyful atmosphere and had a happy reunion dinner in the imperial vassal system. Everyone seemed to be happy. However, they came to Beijing early, but they never met my two delegations on the Japanese island alone (the Nagano military government still belongs to the Kingdom of Japan in name, so they were two delegations.

) They all looked very smiled reluctantly. After handing the look of Shino Matsuhira to ask, the old boy showed a helpless smile and bowed to an apology. I thought for a while, and probably he had something to say, so he said, "Matsuhira did not hand over a sign to see me when he came to Beijing. This family is not good. He Fei has already complained to me, saying that I will not let her brother and sister meet. You, I will be injustice, I will punish you with a glass of wine-"

Shino Matsuhira drank happily and quickly, and laughed repeatedly and said that he would come to the palace early in the morning.

I nodded and smiled at him, and glanced at Nagano's representative. The most trusted confidant Nishihara Kameyama and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Japan, Nishizoji Kotomi, both looked a little angry. He smiled in his heart and raised his glass and said, "Nishihara and Nishizoji, have a drink with me!"

After drinking, the two of them looked good, but I thought to myself that there was something wrong with the Japanese island. But after thinking about it, I wondered why the information coming in was not related to this information?

After the banquet, he ordered people to take the secret record of the recent Japanese commander Zhang Jingyao, education officer Gao Lingwei, and the head of military and political training of the Japanese garrison, Huang Xuan, who was transferred by the Military Information Department, for the past six months. After checking the formation, he could not see anything unusual. So he put it down. No matter how much the Japanese land was making a fortune, there would be no major happening, so it was not worth wasting too much time and energy.

I put down this matter and looked up at the clock. It was already 11 o'clock in the evening. No major incidents happened at home and abroad during this period. I was very relaxed. I thought about which palace to spend the night tonight. I happened to take a look at the note I had just put down on the table, and nodded secretly, got up and walked to the door with my hands behind my back and greeted, "Go to the Hefei sign. Lead the way forward."

After tightening, Kou Lian quickly put on the cloak on me. He looked up at the moon. It was a fountain of moon, reflecting the unfinished white snow in the palace courtyard. It was cold. He breathed a breath and stepped into this cold winter.

In the palace carved with jade, the light burning of fine charcoal and the whispers of the palace people made the ancient and deep palace groups look a bit lonely and vicissitudes. When the eunuchs and female officials watching at the door saw me waiting to meet, I raised my hand to stop me, pushed the door and rushed in, and heard a sigh.

"My lady, don't sigh. As soon as you enter the marquis's door, it's as deep as the sea, let alone marrying us, Long live our master?" The woman's persuasion sounded pleasant and familiar, and she could tell that it was Ye, the newly promoted Zhengpin.

He smiled on his face and was about to come from a family, and he heard the intercommunication, "Long live with me for so long. Do you think I am such a person? When I come, I will serve you with all my heart. If I don't come, I'm not a complaint." He sighed softly, then turned to a lonely tone and said, "But I don't know if our master can let my brother go..."

Hearing this, I frowned, what are you talking about?

I heard her continue to say in Chinese that was already sophisticated that she could not be more proficient: "When I came, we had our rules and could not talk nonsense. Long lively hates this the one that I hate the most, before... Alas!"

"Then..." Both of them were silent for a moment, and then Ye sighed and continued, "It's better not to say it anymore. In fact, women's bans are all open. See me..." He giggled and said, "I don't count if I say it... I won't say it anymore, let's rest sooner."
