According to the greed of the Rakshasa Kingdom, as long as they take action here, they will definitely take advantage of it.
Throughout history, there have been some unequal treaties signed with the Rakshasa Kingdom, most of which were the result of their taking advantage of the situation.
The Rakshasa Kingdom was originally a powerful country in the West, but the reforms during the Industrial Revolution were not thorough enough and they still had some older systems, so their strength was not very strong.
But because of its vast territory and large population, it can be considered a powerful country.
Whenever other countries take action against the Daqian Empire, they will immediately deploy hundreds of thousands of troops on the northern border as if they are going to fight a big war. At this time, their diplomats will start to act, forcing the Daqian Empire to sign a Various unequal treaties.
Sometimes some people within the Daqian Empire have also thought about it. If a fight really breaks out, the Rakshasa Kingdom may not have such great results. It’s just that the senior officials of the imperial court are too weak. If someone threatens them, they will immediately If you lose your backbone, it is normal for others to take advantage of you.
It's just that this time they didn't take advantage of such a huge advantage. What's going on? Have they changed their temper? But the robber's thinking never changes.
"Is there no news from Zhou Zhipeng?"
In another twenty minutes, the encirclement here will be completed. Half an hour ago, Gao Shaoyi had already asked about the situation on the Daliao Peninsula, but there is no news yet.
"Yes, yes, Master Zhou's telegram has arrived..."
The telegraph operator came in with the latest news. After reading Zhou Zhipeng's report, Gao Shaoyi burst out laughing.
Liu Shan looked at Gao Shaoyi strangely. This was a big event on the battlefield, how could he still be happy?
When Liu Shan took the telegram, his face was full of shock and disbelief.
It turns out that the armory of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the Daliao Peninsula is all empty, and has been resold by corrupt officers over the years. If a war really breaks out, the soldiers will probably have no way to obtain other supplies if they use up all the bullets in their hands. , this is the reason why they dare not move.
And according to the thinking of those officers, a battle has to be fought for a while. There is only three or two months before it can be over. During this period, they can purchase arms and ammunition, and when the war situation reaches a stalemate, they can then take action against the Daqian Empire.
"The Rakshasa Kingdom has become so weak. Why do we only see their strength when we can go forward?"
Liu Shan had a question mark on his face.
"Did the senior officials of the imperial court care about this in the past? As long as I heard that the Rakshasa Kingdom has an army of hundreds of thousands in the north, I would be so scared that I would wet my pants."
What Gao Shaoyi said is true. The Daqian Empire has never been victorious in foreign wars for a long time, so everyone has a natural fear. Moreover, Western countries can sweep hundreds of thousands of Daqian Empire troops by sending out tens of thousands of troops.
If the Rakshasa Kingdom suddenly mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers to fight, wouldn't all our lands in the north belong to others? We only need to sign a few treaties and cut off a piece of land to avoid such a dispute. For the Daqian court, it was a sure profit but not a loss.
"These damn guys have been blackmailing us all along."
Liu Shan said with great hatred.
In fact, not only the Rakshasa Kingdom, but also other major powers, and even some small Western countries, basically rely on blackmail to absorb the interests of the Daqian Empire. Of course, these things end here. If Gao Shaoyi is still blackmailed by you after he is reborn, then we might as well kill him with a piece of tofu.
"Send a telegram to Zhou Zhipeng. Since we have found out the other party's truth and falsehood, let's not be idle. The two best naval bases on the Daliao Peninsula have been occupied by the Rakshasa Kingdom. How can this be done? ?Where will our warships park in the future?"
Gao Shaoyi lit a cigarette for himself, using the nicotine to stimulate his throat, and gave this order.
"Master Marquis, why don't we put it on hold for a while? If there really is a large-scale war, we won't be able to take care of the Daliao Peninsula for a while. Anyway, except for the two naval bases, there is no place around the Daliao Peninsula. There are still many military camps they built illegally, do you want to take action on these military camps first?"
Liu Shan is also scheming and knows that there are some things that cannot be ignored. Except for the two naval bases, according to the treaty, although the Daliao Peninsula is the sphere of influence of the Rakshasa Kingdom, they cannot build military camps outside.
But because the power of the Daqian Empire was too weak in the local area, the officers of the Rosa Kingdom never paid attention to the officials of the Daqian Dynasty. As long as they saw a place with strategic interests, there would be as few as dozens or as many as a few. Hundreds of people, the military camp they built stuck to the Daliao Peninsula like psoriasis.
"That's what you said. Then write a letter to the imperial court in my name, requesting that Zhou Zhipeng be canonized as the patrol envoy of Daliao, and focus on rectifying the illegal military camps on the Daliao Peninsula."
After Gao Shaoyi finished speaking, Liu Shan wrinkled his forehead again.
If this is one of our own, it doesn't matter if we ask for a patrol envoy, but Zhou Zhipeng may not necessarily share our hearts, and this guy is the son-in-law of the prince...
The patrol envoy is not a minor official. After the governor and governor, he can be regarded as a high-ranking official in the border area.
"Always take a long-term view in everything you do. If this person is not Zhou Zhipeng, do you think Prince Ding can approve it for us? After approval, if we cut off our logistical supplies and withdraw our troops, Doesn’t this patrol officer become a mere commander? Mr. Zhou is a smart man, and he knows very well where to sit."
Gao Shaoyi knew what Liu Shan was worried about? After saying these words, Gao Shaoyi was ready to go out and encircle these two divisions. Since they were already meat in his mouth, he would never let these guys go, and now Dongdong Di Guo also did not have the support of the navy.
After killing these two divisions, the military strength of Dongdi Kingdom will be reduced a lot, and we can even take advantage of the victory to attack the concession.
After listening to Gao Shaoyi's words, Liu Shan nodded beside him. This eldest nephew turned out to be a dandy in the capital. Now he thinks of everything in front of me. I am really incompetent as the chief of staff. !
However, we are still very competent in writing work. Less than ten minutes after Gao Shaoyi left, he had already finished writing an eloquent memorial. He quickly sent someone to deliver it to Mr. Li Hongtang, waiting for the court's approval.
As for Zhou Zhipeng, a telegram has been sent over, and those who are not just and right have to take action first...??
