Deng Shichang and others are just a group of wandering children now. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is divided into two dynasties outside the pass and inside the pass. Emperor Tongzhi of Chengde Summer Resort has a great reputation, but he is already terminally ill.
The Japanese Six, who were supported by the British, occupied Beijing and were rapidly recruiting surrenders and rebels.
Guiziliu is indeed a veteran of the Three Dynasties. He has been working hard since the Daoguang period and has a huge and secret network of contacts in the official circles of the Qing Dynasty. As long as this kind of person has a firm seat in the Forbidden City and is given time, he will quickly control the following provinces and Taoism. .
In fact, as long as people like Deng Shichang are willing to lower their heads, it will be too easy to knock on the door of Guiziliu, because they are the first batch of Manchu talents to study abroad.
Guiziliu is not stupid, he will definitely use it, and it will also serve as a propaganda function for the city gate, as long as Deng Shichang, Sa Zhenbing and the others come over.
Then there will be several groups of talents studying in Europe in the future. With such a role model, the subsequent groups of international students will naturally follow him.
But people like Deng Shichang had a very simple idea of loyalty to the emperor, and their personal moral character was beyond question. They were not stained by the dirty water tank of officialdom.
Therefore, these people have always recognized Emperor Zhi as the orthodox king.
This position is embarrassing. Emperor Tongzhi's side is in a precarious position and they can't stay any longer. They are all arrogant and offended Cixi.
Then Guiziliu was still embarrassed and unwilling to go.
In fact, there is another option that is to return to Europe. The UK has a particularly high regard for this group of international students, as long as they are willing to return to Europe and serve the European monarchs.
Then regardless of whether it is Britain or Germany, they will all rush for it.
But this group of people were not even willing to be loyal to the two imperial courts in the capital, so how could they seek refuge in a foreign country?
There was really no other choice except the clear path pointed out to them by Emperor Tongzhi.
But the problem arises again. If Xiao Letian is here, Deng Shichang and the others will directly take refuge in Xiao Letian. There is no saying that they have accepted their fate.
This is the first person in Asia, the real dragon who can lead the whole of Asia to fight against the British. There is no psychological burden for taking refuge in the head of state, and no one will laugh at him.
But now Xiao Letian does not know whether he is alive or dead, which makes Deng Shichang and the others very embarrassed.
Who does this count as taking refuge in? Are you taking refuge in Fu Yin'er? The prince has not ascended the throne. He is still so young and cannot get close to him.
Could it be that he wanted to take refuge with Xiang Ying and Lin Zhen? They are almost the same age and seniority, so they really can’t save face.
Unless the Four Heavenly Kings open their mouths to accept them now, it would be a compromise choice. Unfortunately, the Four Heavenly Kings will not open their mouths.
Look, aren't these just a bunch of street kids?
Of course, the so-called waif is also a description. The treatment given to them by the Chinese is very high. Although they do not have their positions and military ranks, the Navy Department has formulated the treatment of lieutenant colonel during their internship period.
Yes, that's right. Don't look at Deng Shichang, Sa Zhenbing and the others lying on the deck during the day, cleaning the cracks in the boards with toothbrushes, but they are treated like lieutenant colonels and live in an officer's cabin.
After the one-year internship period, they will automatically be upgraded to colonel status, which shows how much Xiang Ying and the others love talents.
This group of people did all the work of the big soldiers during the day, cleaning the deck, cleaning the cabin, spreading butter with the veterans in the engine room, and even helping in the kitchen.
But as long as there is rest at night, this group of people can appear next to the captain, first mate, gunnery chief, chief engineer... and a series of officials.
At this time, they are the deputies, adapting to the Chinese management model and combat procedures as quickly as possible.
In other words, Xiang Ying did not hide the normal battle process from them except that they were not allowed to have access to the top secret code and other information.
The tense and busy day after day diluted their inner entanglements. The Chinese heritage was revealed to them for the first time. This group of people understood how powerful the head of state was.
"Look, Lao Sa... Kunigami Military Port alone has more than 60 cars. Have you ever thought about it? There are such efficient means of transportation in this world!"
On the stern deck of the Zhiyuan, Deng Shichang, Yan Fu, and Sa Zhenbing were smoking and taking a break. They had just finished the heavy work at hand and finally had time to chat.
But there was no nonsense in every word they said. What they saw in their eyes, what they thought in their hearts, and what they said in their mouths were all absolutely professional topics.
Yan Fu took a deep breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the depression in his chest, "Hey... But for such a treasure, what did the people of Sijiu City say? Black ass car, they gave the most rubbish appearance. Number!"
"Just because of the loud noise and the choking black smoke emitted from the exhaust pipe, has it become an object of ridicule? These stupid people, even the big and small people in the court think so!"
"They just see that shortcoming, and they don't understand the power of change at all!"
Sa Zhen said with a cold face, "They don't know anything. I now understand that the various malfunctions that occurred when the car appeared in the capital for the first time are most likely the head of state's plan to deceive the enemy!"
"The Chinese are forcing the Qing Dynasty to underestimate the enemy, and even deliberately let the British underestimate the enemy. What's wrong with such an excellent vehicle? It's a bit noisy? What's wrong with a bit of black smoke?"
"Isn't it just that there are more mechanical failures? How can there be no problems with new things? I can imagine that the Chinese will definitely use this new equipment to form a new type of military force!"
"Yes, I have already deduced it!" Deng Shichang threw the cigarette butt into the sea. "If I were the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, I would never use such good things in a scattered way. I would use them as big steel animals and just pull goods. It’s really a waste of natural resources!”
"Gather them together to form a rapid assault force. That's right, it's a mechanical cavalry army... The vehicles are equipped with heavy machine guns and can also carry ammunition and elite soldiers!"
"Carry out large detours, carry out rapid breakthroughs, do not engage in positional battles with the enemy, pierce, pierce again, and constantly cut the opponent. This is how this treasure must be used!"
"Well said, this is the correct idea. It is the mechanical cavalry. Use it to pull out the nails behind the opponent and take down all the empty cities behind them. Then we will win!"
The three people were talking very excitedly, but the partition wall had ears, and behind a layer of steel plates, the sailors hiding in the cabin had already recorded all their remarks.
Lin Zhen needs to see these things, and the CIA also needs to keep a foundation. It is not that simple to integrate into the Chinese people.
After Lin Zhen saw these records that night, he was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed, "Baby, real baby! The rapid response force secretly formed by King Luo Huo, and they actually deduced it themselves?"
"Okay, okay, the name Mechanical Cavalry is nice. I like it. Come here, prepare a telegram for me and send these four words to the Army!"
"What a group of treasures. It is estimated that all the talents gathered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty's last bit of luck are here! If their loyalty can be guaranteed, they really need to be reused!"
"Only through superficial analysis, we can deduce our true purpose, what a talented person! Those losers Guiziliu, I guess even given all the technical parameters, they can't even think of this..."
"Come here, give them the intelligence on the Manchu and Qing Dynasties below level three, so that they can stop thinking about going back..."
Late at night, while these Qing students were studying at night, several sailors knocked on the cabin door and gave them many brown paper bags without saying anything.
When Deng Shichang saw the contents, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly called his companions to gather.
"Oh my God, the six Japanese armies have already left Gubeikou! Master Fuqing has led the elite troops to garrison Huangtu Liang. We have only been gone for a month, why is it that a decisive battle is about to begin?"
