C948 On a good, next is how! (2/2)
His son, Yuan Kexin, was well aware of his father's thoughts. In addition, he also wanted to have a taste of being Crown Prince or even Emperor.
The most exaggerated thing was that in order to not let his father see the opposition in the newspapers, he actually spent a lot of money to compile a few popular newspapers of his day and used fake ones to really show them to his father.
Yuan Shikai read the newspapers everyday and noticed that there were still a lot of people supporting him? How many voices of opposition in the media? Could it be that his destiny really was to return to him?
It was only until after he proclaimed Emperor that Cai Cai Cai from the south declared war on the Empire and expressed his stance towards it through military action. At that time, the whole of Southern China was full of support for him.
The important thing was that at that time, there was indeed a large group of people who were desperately trying to get closer to Yuan Shikai to spread the rumours about him. This was because they had discovered the preference in Yuan Shikai's heart, and the preference of a person in a position of power was naturally a shortcut to becoming an official and making a fortune.
Xiao Letian shook his head and laughed bitterly: ”If I brought up my idea early and let you or more people know of my preferences, would the information you gave me back be true? ”No, you won't give me the real information. I believe that 80% of the information will be given priority …”
”I don't want that wrong information because this is the national policy and it concerns the national destiny and the fate of millions of people. Therefore, I must keep it a secret from all of you. I think you should be able to figure this out …”
Those who sat down again finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the hot dishes were finally served. They all took the opportunity to take a few bites while the dishes were served.
Outside the window, the sky was still filled with wind and rain, and outside the window, there were fully armed soldiers. Their backs were facing the parlour, and they wanted to form a human wall with their bodies to protect this meeting.
Xiao Letian nodded his head, and the Frenchman, Molière, said, ”I have received the Prime Minister's order to begin the complete calculation and deduction of a top secret plan. The core of the plan is to calculate how much land we can control according to the range of the Zhiyuan Warship's firepower.
Crash!! With a crash, the excited Luo Huo suddenly stood up, bringing his own red wooden chair. His eyes shone with excitement, ”Is it going to war? Prime Minister finally made up his mind? ”I knew that Lord wouldn't let us down …”
”Sit down!” ”You better sit down …” Xiao Letian angrily slammed his chopsticks on the table, ”Can you not say anything else? No one thinks you're a mute! ”Now, I order you, finish this plate of crabs in front of you. You must not waste any meat, and you are not allowed to say a single word before you finish eating it!”
Luo Huo bitterly placed the four Shuttle Crab on the plate in front of him. He hated eating this kind of thing the most, not because it was not tasty, but because the people in the northern lands were used to eating big fish and big meat.
Molière smiled at Luo Huo. ”Whether or not Prime Minister wants to start a war, this is not a matter of plan, but regardless of whether or not we start a war, we need to prepare for it, isn't that right?”
”Alright, let me make this short... The battle between the Dakar and the Marine Corps have proven the feasibility of a three-dimensional coordination strategy between the warships and the marines. The maximum range of a 210 caliber naval gun is around 20 kilometers, but due to the technology, the range to accurately attack is only 8 kilometers … ”
