Li Zhen sat alone in the room and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he shouted: "Guard."
There were footsteps and a guard walked in.
"Invite Huang Qiang to come."
"yes."
The guard went to convey the order. Soon, Huang Qiang walked in wearing a military uniform. He raised his hand and gave Li Zhen a military salute and said loudly: "President."
Li Zhen ordered: "It is your responsibility to immediately investigate Gobard's recent movements. Remember, when you are keeping an eye on Gobard, you must not leak any information. If you alert the enemy, you will definitely lose more than you gain."
"President, please rest assured and promise to complete the task."
Huang Qiang's voice was high-pitched and confident, and he personally took charge of the matter.
…
Gobard left the governor's residence and did not return to his place of residence. Instead, he went directly to the U.S. Federal Embassy in Guangzhou. After entering the embassy, he asked the soldiers to report, and then directly met Ma Hui, the ambassador to China.
In the living room, the guests and hosts were seated.
Gobard smiled and said: "Mr. Ma Hui, your Major General George and thousands of soldiers should still be under the control of Chen Fang, the governor of Hawaii Province."
As soon as he came up, he directly mentioned the captured soldiers.
"Major General George and the British Lieutenant General Maihad are both under the control of Li Zhen. This matter has been reported to Congress and has attracted great attention from Mr. President. I believe that the matter will be resolved soon."
Ma Hui frowned, doubts flashing in his eyes.
The American Commonwealth, like the British Empire, had its troops and commanders arrested.
At the moment, why did Gobard take the initiative to see him?
Gobard saw Ma Hui's expression in his eyes and guessed what Ma Hui was thinking. He stopped trying to be too pretentious and said directly: "To be honest with you, Mr. Ma Hui, I came here this time for the sake of the captured American federal soldiers and the British Empire." The soldiers, the army commanders and soldiers of the American Federation and the British Empire were all controlled by Li Zhen's men and were on the same boat because we had a common goal."
After a pause, Gobard continued: "The empire wants to rescue Lieutenant General Maihad and the soldiers, and Li Zhen wants to take back Hong Kong. In this way, there is an opportunity for war. As long as the empire does not agree to return Hong Kong, Li Zhen will definitely send troops. When the two armies fight, the empire will defeat Li Zhen's army in one fell swoop, enough to capture the other side's people, suppress China in one fell swoop, and exchange for Lieutenant General Maihad."
Ma Hui shook his head and said: "We have fought with China more than once, but all failed in the end. I don't think there is much hope for the British Empire to prepare to fight the Chinese army in Hong Kong this time."
"No, it's different this time."
"Oh, what's the difference?"
"The thing is like this. After more than two years of careful research, the empire has created a new generation of weapons. Our new weapon is called a tank. It is powerful and amazingly powerful. It will definitely defeat Li Zhen's army on land, allowing Li The army under Zhen Zhen's command is useless." As he spoke, Gobard took out the blueprint of the tank from his arms and introduced the functions of the tank one by one.
He was beaming with joy, as if he had seen the scene where Tank defeated Li Zhen.
After hearing this, Ma Hui couldn't help but take a breath.
Although he did not see the tank with his own eyes, he could imagine its power.
The two talked, but Ma Hui was not led by Gobard. He had the same questions as Lankfur. Gobard immediately explained that he also planned to sell weapons to the United States Federation and make money. Ma Hui had a plan in his mind. After some research, I felt that I must purchase tanks, because with the emergence of tanks, battles on the battlefield will change, and the United States cannot live without them.
When the two were chatting heatedly, a waiter carrying coffee came in, came to the two of them and put the coffee down. The waiter looked at the drawings carefully, and listened to the two people's continuous discussion, and roughly understood what was going on. A new weapon to deal with Li Zhen.
Seeing the waiter standing next to him, Gobad said calmly: "Go out."
Ma Hui also waved his hand and asked the waiter to leave.
After the waiter left, Ma Hui continued: "Sir Gobard, the United States Federation is definitely willing to purchase tanks. However, how to determine the price of tanks and the joint dispatch of troops with the British Empire? Can you make the decision?"
Gobard shook his head and said: "I don't have the right to make the decision on the price of the tank or the dispatch of troops. Of course, I think it is difficult for you to decide, so you need to report the matter to the federation immediately and ask the federation to make a decision. I believe , this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we will definitely use this opportunity to suppress China."
Ma Hui nodded and approved Gobard's suggestion.
Gobard stood up and said: "Sir, I still have to contact other countries and say goodbye."
Ma Hui stood up to see them off. After Gobard left, he headed towards the residence of the Russian envoy who stayed in Guangzhou. After some discussions with the Russian envoy Stopsilin, Gobard finally left with satisfaction. What follows is For a few days, Gobard had been wandering around visiting envoys from various countries, and was extremely busy dealing with the heads of various countries.
At the same time, all the news continued to reach Huang Qiang.
Governor's Mansion, Li Zhen's Room.
Huang Qiang stood in front of Li Zhen, lowered his head slightly, and reported loudly: "President, all the news about Gobard has been gathered. In the past three days, Gobard met with French envoy Frankfurt, and U.S. federal envoy Ma Hui, Tsarist Russian envoy Stopsilin, and the remaining envoys from the Netherlands, Italy and other countries who remained in China."
Li Zhen asked: "Gobard met so many people, have you found out the specific matters discussed?"
Huang Qiang shook his head and said: "There is no news yet."
Li Zhen's expression was extremely serious, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Gobard frequently visits envoys from various countries. I think it is probably a matter in Hong Kong. It is of great importance and cannot be careless at all. We will send out all our forces to investigate and make sure to find out Gobad." Bard is discussing matters with envoys from various countries. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. If we don't know the other party's strategy, it will be very detrimental to us."
"clear."
Huang Qiang raised his hand to salute, turned around and prepared to leave.
A soldier from the Jian Dao Battalion walked in and whispered something in Huang Qiang's ear.
After the soldier finished speaking, Huang Qiang's expression changed drastically.
The soldier took out another piece of paper and handed it to Huang Qiang's hand. Huang Qiang glanced at it, waved his hand to let the soldiers from the Sharp Blade Battalion go out, then came to Li Zhen, handed the piece of paper to Li Zhen's desk, and said seriously Said: "President, this is the news we just obtained. On the white paper, it is the latest weapon invented by the British Empire."
Li Zhen saw the pattern on the paper and exclaimed: "Tank."
At this moment, Li Zhen was extremely surprised.
Although the pattern outlined on the white paper was very sloppy and somewhat different from the appearance of a tank, it was enough to identify. Li Zhen couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the room. Unexpectedly, the British developed tanks in advance. Historically, tanks It appeared in World War I, when it was a position composed of machine guns, trenches, and barbed wire to suppress machine guns.
Because of Li Zhen, Britain actually developed tanks.
This kind of thing made Li Zhen feel extremely surprised, and a chill ran down his back. If he didn't know that Britain had developed tanks, it would be a fatal blow if he was unprepared on the battlefield.
