Chapter 334 Britain is dissatisfied

"Roosevelt is Roosevelt, he is very alert."

After returning from Mercer Island, Guo Jinzhang received a report from Liang Zuying, and then he knew about the series of actions of the Theodore Roosevelt man... Of course, he had known about the fact that he had been in his side for a long time. After all, there was no such coincidence in this world? Several Chinese who graduated from Europe happened to be discovered by Roosevelt, and then some others were arranged to him... Although Guo is not a great figure, he still values ​​his own safety very much. He doesn't want to become a bad guy like Garfield. How could he arrange the people around him directly without investigation and testing? But if he puts people in, he doesn't expect that Roosevelt would want to take action against his intelligence system.

"Do you want to move and give him some good looks?" Liang Zuying asked. He was the team of Jian Wang. Originally, the two major intelligence systems in Seattle, the Intelligence Bureau and the Investigation Bureau were created and directed by Jian Wang, but Jian Wang was suddenly exchanged to New York and could no longer command the entire intelligence system from the overall situation. Therefore, Guo Jinzhang handed over the important task of the Intelligence Bureau to his shoulders. Intelligence work is extremely important, because this work is not just about collecting intelligence. At critical moments, it is more likely to become the key to victory or defeat. Just like when facing Sherman, Grant and Ramsey's three-sided attack, if

It wasn't that Stanford and others bought a large number of Green Cannons for them. They wouldn't have such a happy victory in the Ortamaho River. Instead, they would have to fall into a hard battle. In that case, not to mention scaring Grant and Ramsey, even Sherman alone could have dealt with them to survive or die. After all, their military command ability at that time was not a little different from that of Sherman. If they really set up a formation duel, there would be basically no possibility of winning, and it would be victory if they lost less miserably. Therefore, after taking over, he could be said to be trembling and did not dare to be careless at all.

"Don't worry. Isn't this too early? Moreover, Roosevelt is a newcomer and is a scholar. Even though he is smart, he may not be familiar with intelligence work. This situation is a good opportunity for us. If we do it too early, it will arouse his alertness and make his actions more secretive. Maybe he will accidentally escape from our control." Guo Jinzhang said.

"Then you can't just let him do whatever he wants, right? Although he has our people around him, it's always bad to continue like this." Liang Zu replied. When he first controlled the Intelligence Bureau, he prefers to take everything in his hands. He doesn't like things that may be beyond his control. Because he thinks that will be stable.

"He has our people around him, which is already a very remarkable achievement in intelligence work." Guo Jinzhang smiled, "Don't forget that the whole United States is behind him. If you let him continue like this, then after this intelligence system develops, we may grasp its core secrets. But if you take action to deal with it now, it will arouse the real alertness of the US government... With its strong strength, we may be infiltrated by others at that time."

"I can understand what you said. But I always feel uncomfortable if I hide such a group of people around me." Liang Zuying said with a wry smile.

"I will get used to it slowly." Guo Jinzhang smiled, "Awang was like you at the beginning, but wasn't it okay later?"

"You're so embarrassed to say?" Liang Zuying smiled bitterly again, "Awang used to be the only one who was so cheerful because you arranged for the intelligence director. He became more and more indifferent and even talked less..."

"There is no way. We have such a big career, so someone has to sacrifice it." Guo Jinzhang shook his head and sighed.

"Listen to you, just sacrifice. Who told us that we are going on this path now?" Liang Zuying shook his head and sighed.

"The intelligence system of the Americans is just the beginning, and you don't have to pay too much attention. Just give people attention. The most important thing now is the two sides of Britain and Japan." Guo Jinzhang said again. Perhaps because in this era, countries around the world have not paid much attention to the development of intelligence systems, and even most countries do not have this industry yet. Therefore, taking advantage of the pioneers, their intelligence agencies have developed well. Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, and Japan, these most important countries in the world today already have branches of the intelligence agencies. If Liu Tongfu in Beijing and the headquarters of the United States, the Tangzhou intelligence system has actually basically covered the whole world.

However, the Intelligence Bureau and the Investigation Bureau are both in the hands of one person. Although he still trusts Jian Wang very much, it is not a good thing to go on for such a long time, especially since Jian Wang is still in charge of the police system in Tangzhou, which is even more amazing. Therefore, taking advantage of this exchange opportunity, he sent Jian Wang to New York, and then took the Intelligence Bureau back from Jian Wang and handed it to Liang Zuying. Of course, this does not mean that Liang Zuying is so competent, but people who work in intelligence cannot have too much ambitions, and Liang Zuying is such a person. Of course, there is another reason here, that is, Liang Zuying has always been close to him, has a good relationship with him, and is trustworthy.

"It's fine for Britain, I really don't understand what this little Japan is worthy of attention." Liang Zuying naturally knew why Guo Jinzhang chose him. He was only grateful for this. This is an important task. When he first took over the Intelligence Agency, he knew how great power he had. What was Jian Wang's handling of several congressmen in New York? That was just a terrible test. If the secret information held by the Intelligence Agency was released, the Washington congressmen would be destroyed at least one-third. If he really did that, the entire political situation in the United States would be severely turbulent... He once asked Guo Jinzhang curiously, since he had mastered so many people's **, why not take the opportunity to threaten and seek more benefits and

Power. As a result, Guo Jinzhang told him that this was their last line of defense before the war. Not only could it not be announced casually, but it might also have to be hidden like this, because the intelligence is not valuable if it is released. In other words, even if they want to use this information, they will at most threaten those big figures in private and not publicize them, because only in that way can they get the greatest benefits. He quickly understood this truth, but was worried that others would also carry out such "despicable" activities like them, using everyone's ** to threaten them, so as to achieve the harm of Tangzhou's interests. As a result, Guo Jinzhang told him seriously that no matter what kind of psychological and reason, the Intelligence Bureau would not include Tangzhou in the scope of work, because

In Tangzhou, there is the Bureau of Investigation. This department is in charge of all intelligence activities within Tangzhou. If the Bureau of Intelligence enters its jurisdiction without authorization, it will be a violation. All relevant personnel must be severely punished. If necessary, it may be a death penalty. Guo Jinzhang was harsh when he said that, as if he had violated the rules. He was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat. He did not come back to his senses until he said goodbye to Guo Jinzhang. He also realized that the reason why Guo Jinzhang made such a provision was to avoid those who were in charge of intelligence and those who were in charge of intelligence were doing whatever they did... Just like the Bureau of Investigation, although it manages the intelligence work within Tangzhou, as long as it involves senior leaders, there is no two nods among the top leaders of the army, Guo Jinzhang, the top leader of the army.

It is not allowed to take action, otherwise it will be a violation, and all relevant personnel will be severely punished. These regulations are extremely strict. Guo Jinzhang even clearly told him that the Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Intelligence have departments directly belonging to the supreme leader of Tangzhou, who are responsible for analyzing and supervising the actions of these two departments internally to avoid being rude. It can be said that the management and systems of these two departments are linked one by one, in order to ensure that the intelligence system can operate normally and not become a private tool for some people. However, after the initial tension, he no longer feels about these. In this life, he is already content with this. What else can he be dissatisfied with? Anyway, it is enough to do his own job well.

"You asked about the same as Ronglu, Yuan Shikai and the others. But you are different from them. Azu, you are the director of the Intelligence Bureau. You should take a look at more information about Japan, so that you will know why I must pay attention to that country." Guo Jinzhang said.

"I have read the information from Japan. I just want to work hard and find a hypothetical enemy for myself... But if this way it can become a great power and a huge threat to the Qing Dynasty, I still don't believe it." Liang Zu replied.

"Then let's make a bet, how about it?" Guo Jinzhang looked at him with a wry smile, "If Japan really rises and becomes a huge threat to the Qing Dynasty, you can't marry before you are forty years old, what about it?"

"Are you stupid?" Liang Zuying shook his head quickly, "You guy has never fought a war that is unsure, so I won't bet stupidly with you. Besides, it's not easy for our Liang family. If I make this bet with you, I'm afraid that my parents will jump out of the grave and I will settle the score."

"Then you just do what I said." Guo Jinzhang smiled, "Well, Japan is working hard to develop their own shipbuilding level... first get rid of his important engineers, technicians, etc."

"No problem." Liang Zuying nodded and agreed, thought for a while, then slapped himself in annoyance, "I almost forgot if you didn't say it. It's that ship... no, it's the British side."

"British? What's wrong?" Guo Jinzhang asked.

"Didn't they ask for our welding technology?" Liang Zuying glanced at him. "Stanver and the others 'discovered' that this technology has been leaked and may have been obtained by the French."

"Really?" Guo Jinzhang's expression was excited.

"That's right." Liang Zuying nodded with a smile, "It's the one they're doing behind the scenes, of course it's true."

"Hahaha, we are going to make a fortune again." Guo Jinzhang laughed, "Immediately notify the European branches and ask them to apply for patents in European countries through their respective channels!"

"yes!"

"Damn it, damn it, this must be the Chinese who are secretly making trouble, it must be them!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course certainly, who would be so anxious to push this technology to the whole world besides them? Only them, only them!"

Less than two days after Guo Jinzhang and Liang Zuying talked, the new owner of No. 10 Downing Street, the Marquis of Salisbury, knew what was happening in major European countries. Suddenly, the Prime Minister, who finally knocked Gladstone down, was furious.

The Marquis of Salisbury was actually the third successor of this title, so it is often called the Third Marquis of Salisbury. He was born in Hertfordshire, England on February 3, 1830. His father and brother died early. He studied at Eton College and the Christian College of Oxford University. He was elected as a member of the House of Commons in 1853. In 1866, he served as Minister of Indian Affairs. He was conservative in his thoughts and opposed the reform of the parliament in 1867. In February 1874, he entered the Cabinet of Disrari and was appointed Minister of India. From 1878 to 1880, he was renamed Minister of Foreign Affairs. As a result, during this term, Salisbury made great contributions to Britain.

It turned out that on April 24, 1877, the Russian-Turkish war broke out. On May 6, Britain gave a note to Russia, proposing that it would not block the Suez Canal, occupy Egypt, seize Constantinople, change the status quo of the Strait, and not advance to the Persian Gulf. Subsequently, Britain negotiated with Austro-Hungary to attempt to interfere together. Austro-Hungary was unwilling to be guilty of Russia because it signed the "Budapest Treaty" with Russia. It was opened in June of the same year.

The Russian army crossed the Danube River and crossed the Balkan Mountains. In January 1878, the Russian army approached the city of Constantinople. Türkiye was forced to sign a peace treaty with Russia in San Stefano on January 31.

The Treaty stipulates: 1 Russia has obtained Karls, Adakhan, Batumi, Bayasit and other places in the Southern Caucasus and the southern part of Bisarabia. 2 Established the Principality of Great Bulgaria, with its territory starting from the Danube River in the north and the Aegean Sea in the south; from the Black Sea in the east and Lake Ohrid in the west, and includes almost all Macedonia. It belongs to the Turkish Sultan and was occupied by the Russian army for 2 years. 3 Serbia, Negoro, Romania** Romania was obtained.

Denor Brucha, but was forced to cede southern Bisarabia to Russia.4 Bosnia and Herzegovina autonomy were supervised and implemented by Russia and Austria.5 Russia obtained southwestern Bisarabia and Adakhan, Karls, Batumi and Bayasit.6 The Black Sea Strait must be opened to merchant ships traveling to and from Russian ports during war and during peacetime.7 Turkey pays 1.41 billion rubles of compensation, most of which are replaced by cede the above-mentioned land.

Through this treaty, Russian forces expanded on a large scale in the Balkans, which aroused strong dissatisfaction among Britain, Austria and other countries. It was in this case that Salisbury was appointed as the Foreign Minister and was responsible for resolving this situation.

Salisbury was a very tough person, but he also knew that Tsarist Russia had always been greedy. Just being tough could not stop this polar bear that would never be full. Therefore, while submitting a note to Russia, he also united Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Turkey and other countries that were dissatisfied with Russia, and put the important task of mediating the country on the heads of the Germans, and set the meeting location in Berlin, Germany.

As a result, after unanimous pressure from all countries, the polar bears had to surrender. On July 13, the countries signed the Treaty of Berlin to replace the Treaty of San Stefano. The new treaty confirmed that Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro, which were originally belonged to the Ottoman Empire; while Bulgaria gained autonomy, but was still ruled by Turkey, and was divided into two provinces: Bulgaria headquarters and Eastern Rumilia, which completely destroyed Russia's original "Greater Bulgaria" plan. The Ottoman Bosnia-Herzegovina was occupied and governed by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but still belonged to Türkiye.

Russia paid a huge price in the Russian-Turkish war, but Salisbury and others failed its "Great Bulgaria" plan; on the contrary, the Austro-Hungarian Empire reaped the benefits of fishermen and easily seized the right to manage Bosnia-Herzegovina. This annoyed the Russians. During the negotiations, Germany was also hated by the Russians because of its tendency toward Austro-Hungary. As a result, the three emperor alliances that Germany, Austria and Russia originally formed quickly collapsed. German Prime Minister Bismarck used the German-Austrian alliance to win over Austria-Austrian alliance, and on the other side, he tried to change Russia's minds with the second Three Emperors alliance. As a result, this made his alliance system more complicated and the relationship between Russia and Germany and Austria became increasingly tense. And just when Germany, Austria and Russia were in great trouble for their own alliance, Britain continued to maintain its "glory**", watching the European powers compete for each other and fell into internal friction.

Therefore, Salisbury won the Order of Guard for this success and was elected Prime Minister from 1885 to 1886, forming a cabinet for the first time. However, Salisbury had a shallow foundation at this time and had no solid majority support in the lower house, so he quickly fell. However, this failure did not defeat Salisbury. Soon, he knocked Gladstone off the stage and got his second chance to form a cabinet.

But Salisbury didn't expect that just when he was planning to show his great potential, the inconspicuous Chinese people secretly stung him behind his back.

Welding technology is welding technology, a key technology that has a huge promotion to the machinery manufacturing industry. For it, there is another steam turbine technology. The British Empire paid a huge price for two 10,000-ton battleships, and had to build three more cruisers for the Chinese at a cheap price. But what they exchanged was the promise that the Chinese would never spread the technology before the British... He disliked Gladstone, but deeply agreed with the old guy's decision. The two key technologies will make Britain's entire mechanical manufacturing level ahead of the world for many years. The longer it hides, the greater the advantage, and it has extremely great benefits for Britain to dominate the world.

But now, they have only retained this technology for two years and were "sold" by the Chinese... When he knew that the Chinese were applying for patents in Europe, he knew that things were broken. He immediately summoned a representative from Tangzhou in London to question him, but he did not expect that the Chinese answer was that the British leaked the secrets first. In order to ensure their own interests, they had to apply for patents.

The genius believes in these things. The Chinese clearly don’t want this technology to be enjoyed by the British for a long time.

"Immediately announce that the Royal Navy will soon have three newest and fastest cruisers... In addition, people will go to the London court to sue the Tangzhou Institute of Mechanical Technology to steal advanced technology from the British Empire!"
