Expedition to Europe

Zhang Yuting obviously knew what happened. He got straight to the point as soon as he entered the room and greeted the guests. "Your Majesty, my son is near Wuchang right now. If your Majesty has any orders, I am willing to serve you."

To be honest, in the Republic of China, Zhang Yuting's power is greater than Qin Zhiyuan's.

Although Qin Zhiyuan is the king, he is only Lan Fang's after all. In the Republic of China, Qin Zhiyuan will be restrained because of the attention he has received, and he is far less open than Zhang Yuting, a local snake.

Yeah, there is a saying that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, which makes sense.

At this time, he can't care about the gains and losses. Even if he owes Zhang Yuting a favor, Qin Zhiyuan has to get Huang Fugui out first.

"Thank you, brother Yuting. If it is convenient, please find out where the person is as soon as possible." Qin Zhiyuan was not polite at all.

To be honest, Huang Fugui's presence around Qin Zhiyuan is still relatively low, even less than Gaspard.

But some people are like this. When they exist, you can't see their value, but if something happens, you will feel indispensable.

It is obvious that Huang Fugui is such a person.

Gaspard was actually responsible for the operation of Qin Zhiyuan's private industry, but Huang Fugui also participated, especially in the affairs of the Royal Shipping Group, Huang Fugui participated more, and Huang Fugui was basically responsible for the transportation of the Republic of China.

The person responsible for immigration from the Republic of China to Lan Fang was actually Tang Xinzhi, the Lan Fang ambassador to the Republic of China. Huang Fugui also participated, and because Tang Xinzhi was not convenient to leave Beijing, Huang Fugui was basically in charge of immigration from the Republic of China.

The same situation also includes the military cooperation between Lan Fang and the Republic of China. Lan Fang sent an officer group to help the Republic of China train the army. Huang Fugui had nothing to do with this, but after the Lan Fang officer group arrived in the Republic of China, Huang Fugui was still responsible for providing logistical services for the officer group.

If you don't think about it carefully, Huang Fugui may not be responsible for specific affairs, but if you think about it carefully, in Lan Fang, as long as there is a connection with the Republic of China, Huang Fugui is basically involved.

Of course, Zhang Yuting may not be very clear about the value of Huang Fugui, but Zhang Yuting knows that Lan Fang has a slogan: never give up.

This "never give up" is not only about things, but also about people.

As long as it is possible, Qin Zhiyuan will never let Huang Fugui be imprisoned.

Soon, Zhang Yuting knew that this step was not wrong.

"Call McTavish." Qin Zhiyuan ordered Dong Xingxiu in front of Zhang Yuting.

McTavish is now serving in the "Royal First Brigade" of Lan Fang. Of course, this is also because of Su Mo. Su Mo is now Julie's personal female officer. Julie followed Qin Zhiyuan to visit the Republic of China, and Su Mo naturally had to follow.

Soon, McTavish reported.

Qin Zhiyuan's subordinates are also talented, and McTavish is undoubtedly the most special one. This assassin is superb and can be described as a "genius", but at the same time, this "genius" often goes off the line and often makes some inexplicable chaos when performing tasks.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the mission can be completed, Qin Zhiyuan only wants the result, and McTavish has never let Qin Zhiyuan down.

"You pick out a commando immediately, go to Wuchang as quickly as possible, and must find 'Wen Yi Bo' and bring him back." Qin Zhiyuan's order was concise.

"Wen Yi Bo" is Huang Fugui's title.

In the Lan Fang's title system, if it is a civil position, it will start with "Wu", and if it is a military position, it will start with "Wu". Huang Fugui is a civil position, so his title is "Wen Yi Bo".

From this "Yi" character, it can be seen that Huang Fugui is actually ranked relatively high among the earls of Lan Fang.

This can also be regarded as another aspect to confirm Huang Fugui's value.

After receiving Qin Zhiyuan's order, McTavish did not say much nonsense. Although the corners of his mouth twitched twice, he said nothing, saluted and left.

Well, McTavish is used to dealing with all kinds of difficult and complicated cases, and he is the best choice for these special tasks.

After making the arrangements, Qin Zhiyuan turned to face Zhang Yuting again.

"To what extent have the British and the Southern Military Government cooperated?" Qin Zhiyuan began to dig the root of the problem.

In East Asia, the relationship between Britain and Lan Fang has generally deteriorated. Although the French have mediated, Lan Fang and Britain have fundamental conflicts of interest, which cannot be reconciled.

In fact, the British are generally at a disadvantage in East Asia facing Lan Fang. When the Dutch still ruled the East Indies, the British were actually the backers of the Dutch. In addition, the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, which lasted for more than ten years, the British had no shortage of allies in Asia. At the same time, because of India, the brightest pearl on the head of the Queen of England, the British actually attached great importance to Asia, and the size of the Far East Fleet in Asia can prove this.

It can be said that before the World War, the British were the largest force in Asia, without a doubt.

But the British advantage gradually disappeared after the rise of Lan Fang. The Dutch were forced to withdraw from East India, and Lan Fang became the master of East India. The Japanese Combined Fleet, which was known as the third largest in the world, was completely defeated by Lan Fang, and Japan became a vassal of Lan Fang. It can be said that in Asia, Britain has no allies except for its directly governed colonies. If it wants to contain Lan Fang, the British can only fight bare-handed.

So recently, Australia, which is deep in the Commonwealth, has become the vanguard against Lan Fang.

This can also fully prove that the British have not many trump cards. Australia is the bridgehead for Britain to face Lan Fang.

In fact, if you look closely, the British territory in East Asia is not just Australia. In addition to Australia, the British also have British Malaya, Hong Kong, Lion City India and other territories.

But when facing Lan Fang, these territories are useless. Hong Kong and Lion City are indeed important in geographical location, but lack strategic depth. If Britain and Lan Fang go to war, Hong Kong and Lion City will almost be captured by Lan Fang immediately. There is no doubt about this. Not to mention how many Chinese there are in Hong Kong and Lion City, even if the Chinese in Hong Kong and Lion City do not cooperate with Lan Fang, the "Royal Navy and Air Force" alone cannot resist Lan Fang.

The word "Royal" is almost everywhere in the UK. As a rare monarchy in the world since the 20th century, the British navy is called the Royal Navy, the air force is called the Royal Air Force, the post office is called the Royal Mail, the horse racing and betting unit is called the Royal Jockey Club, and even the police in the former colony of Hong Kong were once called the Royal Police.

The only difference is the army. Only a few British troops are named "Royal", and most of the army is just called "British Army".

There is a widely circulated Chinese message that the reason why the British Army is not named "Royal" is because they once killed the king: in the English Civil War in the 17th century, the Parliamentary Army - the predecessor of the British Army - overthrew and executed King Charles I of England under the leadership of leader Cromwell, and forged a deep hatred with the royal family. After the restoration, the British court was no longer willing to name the army "Royal".

In fact, this is not the case at all. The real reason is that Britain did not have an army for a long time.

The original text is in the six # 9 @book/bar!

Before the 15th century, Britain had been practicing a "militia system" with a strong medieval color.

Britain did not have a standing army, nor could it directly recruit people to fight for it. Instead, it could only issue a call in wartime, and then the lords would temporarily recruit militia in their territories to form armed forces to participate in the battle.

These armed organizations are very different from modern armies. They have no fixed organization and do not accept direct command from national leaders. The word "Royal" is really a bit out of place when used on them.

This can also confirm the combat effectiveness of the British Army from another aspect.

In fact, the process of the World War also proved this point. Although the French were defeated in various ways, if there were no French on the European battlefield, the British would be forced to abandon the European continent and withdraw to the British Isles.

Although the Lan Fang was established for a short time, there is a saying that is currently gaining more and more consensus, that is, Lan Fang has the best army in the world, which is incomparable even to the traditional European army powers Germany and France.

The process of the World War also proved this point. The foreign legion composed mainly of Chinese people was maneuvering in Europe. The Germans, who were in a stalemate with the French, never got an advantage in front of the foreign legion, which can prove the combat effectiveness of the Lan Fang army.

The Lan Fang army is the foreign legion. Even now, there are still quite a lot of foreign legion parts in the Lan Fang army system, which makes the British very wary.

So the British searched all over Asia, and it seemed that only the Republic of China could deal with Lan Fang.

There is a saying in the Chinese world that "use barbarians to control barbarians". In fact, there is also a saying in the Western world that "use Chinese to control Chinese". The British are now planning to do this.

So the British will choose to support the Southern Military Government of the Republic of China.

And the support is very strong.

"It is not very clear at present, but the troops of the Guangzhou Military Government changed their equipment some time ago. Many troops changed to British equipment, such as Lee Enfield rifles, Lewis machine guns, and artillery. If it were not for this, Wu Ziyu would not have lost Wuchang." Zhang Zuolin said a little vaguely.

Although Zhang Zuolin has his own intelligence sources, he certainly cannot get to the core part and can only judge from the appearance.

"Humph, the thief cries thief!" Qin Zhiyuan was very angry.

He must hate it. Since the signing of the "Agreement on the Prohibition of Trade between Countries and China", Lan Fang has been strictly implementing it and not allowing a single gun or bullet to flow into the Republic of China. Although Britain is also one of the signatories, it cannot be concealed when changing equipment on such a large scale. The British must have violated the rules.

Of course, since the British have no shame, they will not have it completely. Even if Qin Zhiyuan takes this to ask George V, George V probably won't admit it.

The more ordinary people care about face, the more they care. When it comes to George V's level, face is nothing.

George V is actually the second son of the former British King Edward VII. His brother is called Albert.

According to the British succession rules, the British king's position has nothing to do with George V. However, Prince Albert died unexpectedly due to pneumonia, which gave George V an opportunity. George V unexpectedly obtained the right to inherit the throne that originally belonged to Albert, and also obtained Albert's wife, the current Queen Mary.

What a mess!
