C853 Ryukyu prepare for war

Modern wars were not like those in the era of cold weapons. Just prepare the rations and the military salaries, then you can start the war. At most, you could also prepare some bows, tents, war horses, etc.

Every minute of modern war was a bottomless pit that swallowed money. Without careful scientific preparation, no one would dare to act rashly.

Without five or six million artillery shells, who would dare to use artillery? Should he prepare 1.8 billion rounds of ammunition for the 1 million strong army? There were also first aid medicines, Soldier rations s, field tents, and communication telegraph line s …

These materials were not produced out of thin air. They needed to be mass-produced by a large number of weapons factories. They needed to be purchased by society and then transported back together. Everything would take time. This was the main reason for Spain's glorious revolution in 1868 in real history, but it was not until 1870 that the two countries began to fight.

Just as there is always an unusually calm period before a storm, so Europe is now.

Countless countries' media had been given the order to remain silent, the newspapers were all unwilling to provoke them in such a short amount of time, the citizens' curses were also ignored, only the countries' intelligence officer and diplomats were busy.

The eyes of the Europeans were always focused on their own land. Even for a British Empire like Britain, whose colonial interests accounted for 80% of the output of their country, they could not just stand idly by when Europe was in turmoil.

The ships of the overseas colonies began to return to Europe, bringing with them not only weapons and soldiers, but taxes and taxes.

All the intelligence networks couldn't care about how the war was going on in the South America or the conflicts between the United States and Mexico, and they didn't have the mood to care about the expanding power of Xiao Letian. Everyone's eyes were focused on the upcoming war. If Prussia and France were to start a war, it would definitely be a great battle that would affect the whole of Europe and even the entire world.

"In the jungle of the wild beasts, the tigers and the hungry wolves have already started preparing for the civil war. Now is the best time for other animals to expand their living space. Whether or not you can take advantage of this chance will depend on your ability …" When Xiao Letian received the latest intelligence from Europe, on one hand, he was praying for the Zhiyuan Warship to return safely, and on the other hand, he had made his judgement on the international situation before him.

"Brothers, the time of great development has finally come. Taking advantage of the internal strife between the tiger and the hungry wolves, the sheep have to quickly grow sharp horns and the ox has to quickly grow thicker skin …" The time has finally come to narrow the gap between us and Europe! "

"The French are transferring their forces from the colonies to Europe, and the British are also gathering battleships from the Indian Ocean to control the North Sea. Now is the time of the westerner's power vacuum, so we have to do something meaningful now …"

Xiao Letian's entire body, which was dressed in military attire, gave off a unique aura before the battle, and the old generals were all too familiar with this smell. Back then, when the Ryukyu was in an uproar, they had felt this feeling before, but they had also felt this feeling when the Poo War attacked the Beijing and the Beijing.

The prime minister was about to start a war, this was the only thought in everyone's mind!

Wang Huaiyuan stood up and ordered the entire conference room to have the windows closed and the thick black curtains drawn. Outside, there were armed guards protecting the place.

Everyone's eyes were glued to the map that was hung on the wall. Countless bright candles were lit on the map.

"Everyone, ever since the Discipline Hall had been renamed to the CIA, the Prime Minister ordered us to send countless spies out of the city. One third of their power was used to gather the troops and population distribution of the Qing Dynasty outside the city, while the other two-thirds were used to gather the rest … Our Haishenwai! "

"In 1860, that is to say eight years ago, a piece of paper from the Chinese and Russian Treaty of Beijing devolved nearly 400 thousand square kilometers of land east of Wusuli River, including the island of Ku Qin, to Sha Russia. It was also from that day onwards that the Chinese people on this piece of land actually became foreigners, and the Qing Dynasty abandoned them completely …"

"Perhaps it is because of my conscience. In the Beijing treaty, there is a note that says' If there is a place where Chinese people live and where Chinese people occupy their fishing grounds, Russia will not occupy it. The Chinese will continue to do so as usual. '" "This is the last bit of the Manchu's will …"

This is the real Savage Land. In the past, people often said that the Ningguta and the armored people would be slaves, and this included the land that was given to them in the Ningguta! "Yue Yang said calmly.

"When the treaty was just signed, the Russian's influence on this land was still very weak. In 1860, when Russian established their first military station, there were only 40 soldiers. At that time, they were still unable to control this land effectively …"

"These few days, the people who have been abandoned by the dynasty realized that there are no other changes in their lives. Thus, although they were disgruntled, they did not become effective resistance. Both sides are at peace …"

"But as time passed, the Russian began to rest and set up more telegraph line s, and the number of soldiers gradually increased. Gradually, the Russian began to forbid the Chinese from cutting down the precious oaks and gold, which angered the citizens of the East bank of the Wusuli River. In 1866, the local leader Yu Hai led the 300 armed forces and began to expel the Russian soldier, demanding for autonomy!"

"Unfortunately, Yu Hai's rebellion was brutally suppressed at the beginning of this year. Of the three hundred warriors, only Yu Hai and the other ten were captured and the rest were sacrificed. At this moment, Yu Hai's life and death was also unknown. Let's say that Yu Hai has already been killed! "

The conference room buzzed with noise, and everyone's emotions stirred up. Xiao Letian's subordinates were all fanatical, nationalist fighters, and every word that Wang Huaiyuan said deeply pierced their hearts.

"What are you waiting for …" Why didn't we move early? " His fist struck the hard wooden table, knocking over a teacup.

Xiao Letian sneered, "Why? Because we are weak, because we have no righteousness! If our Ryukyu were to attack the Russian directly, it would definitely anger the entire Tsar Russia. At that time, an all-out war would break out, and we wouldn't have much of a chance of winning … We must admit that the current Ryukyu is simply unable to defeat the gigantic Russia! "

"Don't count on diplomatic negotiations to solve this problem, because we, the Ryukyu, do not have a say in the matters outside the borders. Unless the Qing Dynasty's government goes all out to negotiate with the Russian, no one can solve this problem at the negotiating table!"

"Then what should we do? "Are we just going to watch …" Luo Huo's hand was drenched in blood, the teacup he had just broken cut his fist.

Xiao Letian shook his head: "No, we have already watched this for many years, now that the heaven's blessing is in front of us, if we continue watching, I'm afraid we will lose this one last chance!"
