While Gao Shaoyi and Li Hongtang were talking, Nobe Ichiro and Otomo Ryoji were not idle either. The two of them also took a small boat to the Dongdi Kingdom warship off the coast of Haicheng to meet with the Prince of the North White House in advance.
"Your Highness the Prince."
Both of them did not dare to neglect the emperor's uncle, and they were also very persistent figures in the military circles of the Dongdi Kingdom. They could be said to be true powerful men.
If it hadn't been for what happened to Count Jingyi, I'm afraid the two of them wouldn't have had the chance to meet the Prince. Even a ninety-degree bow seemed unable to express their inner sincerity. The two of them shook their heads as hard as they could.
Press down.
"Get up and sit down. Thank you for your hard work. The reason why I asked you to come here overnight is because there is too much attention on this matter in China. I hope to know the specific situation as soon as possible."
The Dongdi Kingdom fleet arrived at the sea outside Haicheng in the middle of the night. It is only twenty nautical miles away from Haicheng, but the actual time to enter the port is tomorrow. After all, he is a prince, and he cannot sneak in at night. This is really detrimental.
The reputation of Dongdi Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work."
The two of them sat timidly for a little while, waiting for His Highness the Prince's inquiry. The specific things were written in very detail. The two of them didn't hide anything at all. They reported everything. Now they are here to answer this question.
A question from His Royal Highness.
"According to your judgment, this matter is not suitable for the Daqian Empire to have anything to do with, especially the new Zhili Governor Gao Shaoyi. He is not a simple person."
The Prince of the North White House also has a straightforward temperament, and the two people in front of him are not even qualified to be his subordinates, so there is no need to talk in circles when talking to these people.
Otomo Ryoji's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that His Highness the Prince had found any clues? It was impossible. He had already cut off all the threads. It would be damning if he could find any.
Otomo Ryoji didn't say anything, but looked at Nobe Ichiro next to him.
The officialdom of Dongdi State has a clear order and a very strict hierarchy. In this case, the superior must answer. If the people below answer randomly, even if your answer is useful, I am afraid you will have to accept the reward of two slaps in the face.
"Your Highness, according to your Majesty's and Your Excellency the Earl's speculations, no one from the Daqian Empire was involved. It is really due to the nature of Your Excellency the Earl, and the meeting place was also thought of temporarily..."
Nobe Ichiro blushed when he said this. Although he had covered it up very well, Prince Kitagawa could still tell that it was just Count Iichi who was so cowardly.
"Your Highness, when things happened that day, if it hadn't been for the obstruction of Gao Shaoyi, the governor of Zhili, Count Jingyi might have been killed by George. Reporters from all over the world were present at the time. Gao Shaoyi's reaction was to come to protect the consort of the Daqian Empire..."
Nobe Ichiro thought of another thing, and it was also true to say that although the relationship with Gao Shaoyi was not good, he did not want to be misunderstood by the Prince of the White House about Gao Shaoyi, which would very likely change the direction of their investigation. At that time, he would let
Everything is more confusing.
After hearing this, Prince Beigong nodded, his expression less serious. It would be the best thing if it was found to be related to people from the Daqian Empire. After all, they are compared with the Windsor Empire.
They are not strong enough, and the threat of force can only be made by those who can threaten the Daqian Empire.
"His Majesty the Emperor has issued an order. No matter what method we use, we must promote this marriage. If necessary, we can use the threat of war."
After Ichiro Nobe and Ryoji Otomo heard this, they looked at each other bitterly. They already knew this was the situation in the country, but you also have to know the specific situation in Haicheng.
In the past, it only took a few words of threats, and the people of the Daqian Empire obeyed obediently. But now the helm of Haicheng is Gao Shaoyi. This guy has trained nearly 200,000 troops. How could he let you say a few words? Are you going to scare me away?
"Your Highness, the current situation in Haicheng..."
In order not to let Dongdi suffer a loss, Nobe Ichiro could only bite the bullet and tell the situation in Haicheng. He knew that His Highness the Prince was not willing to hear these words, but if he did not say it, His Highness would suffer from it. If you lose, you will still take out your anger on him when the time comes.
"Bage Yalu, you have really lived in the Daqian Empire for too long, and you have already forgotten our martial spirit. The people in the Daqian Empire are just a bunch of losers. How can you go up after training hundreds of thousands of troops? In a war, we killed so many of them, but as long as we show our true strength, they will never be our opponents."
Before Ichiro Nobe finished speaking, he received two slaps on the face. The thing that Prince Kitamiya Shiro despises the most is the Dakan Empire. How can he believe it when you say here that the new army of the Dakan Empire is powerful?
During the last war, the reformists headed by Li Hongtang also trained a lot of new troops. They looked decent at ordinary times, but were they useless on the battlefield?
Not only were they defeated by the Dongdi army, but hundreds of thousands of people were wiped out in one battle.
"Listen to me, you two, the most important thing now is not to investigate this matter, but to continue to promote this marriage. If the marriage fails, the blow to our people will be immeasurable. "
Prince Beigongbai has finally revealed his true purpose. Even if the matter is investigated clearly, what will it be used for? Is it to punish Earl Jingyi?
He came to Daqian Empire to facilitate this marriage. Only if this marriage is carried out according to the original time can the people of the entire Dongdi Kingdom be confident again.
"Hayi..."
Nobe Ichiro and Otomo Ryoji, although they lowered their heads and responded loudly, they really didn't know what to say. Prince Kitamiya Shiro is a tough soldier, but the question also depends on the actual situation here. A squadron of ten A few warships were indeed enough in the past, but now if we want to deal with the suppressing army, it is really hard to say.
The 40,000 coalition troops were all wiped out by the Suppression Army. Their combat effectiveness was not much worse than that of the Dongdi army. Therefore, to wipe out Gao Shaoyi's 200,000 troops, at least 400,000 troops would have to be sent. Does the Dongdi country have this military expenditure now?
The two of them had the right idea to try not to have any armed conflict, but Prince Beigongbai couldn't listen at all. He was already planning to use a huge port entry ceremony to give Gao Shaoyi a big gift...??
