Zeng Jize had no choice but to face the coldness of Count Andrach's Earl.

The only countries that can strengthen China's strength through alliances is currently the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the possibility of an alliance between China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire is slim.

Because China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire are both second-strong countries. Although China does not meet the second-strong standards in some aspects, such as military and technological strength, the overall economic output, especially the unified China, is very terrible!

Moreover, both the Chinese and Austro-Hungarian Empire have a proud history and no one wants to be the second child.

How can an amicus who no one wants to be the second, but want to be the eldest, embark on the road to alliance?

Therefore, neither the Austro-Hungarian Empire nor the Chinese had the intention to form an alliance, and the possibility of an alliance was basically ruled out.

The cute president received a telegram from Zeng Jize from Europe. Although he was expected, he still couldn't help but feel sorry. This was really a favorable thing for both parties, but the question of who is the boss is indeed annoying.

"I can make the Austro-Hungarian Empire the boss, we don't have to pay anything, it's just that the name is not good." The cute president said to Princess Katrina Kaif.

Princess Katrina Kaif sighed and said, "But if we form an alliance and we are willing to be the second child, this position will never change."

The cute president smiled and said, "There is no relationship that will never be easy to change. It turns out that the Austro-Hungarian Empire is so powerful? It suppresses Prussia everywhere, but what will happen after the Prussia is unified? Now the Austro-Hungarian Empire is not always about the Germans' eyes. Whoever has a big fist can be the boss, it's just a matter of one word."

Princess Katrina Kaif nodded and said nothing.

"Don't hesitate, go and have someone arrange power generation." The cute president smiled and said, "Even if we are willing to be the second child, it is still hard to tell whether the Austro-Hungarian Empire can be with China."

In fact, the cute president is not only following the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but also taking the German route. It is just a proposal that China wants to form an alliance. Mr. Bismarck, don't catch a cold.

Princess Katrina Kaif smiled and she was also not optimistic.

"What are you doing? Are you still worried?" Zeng Siping leaned against his father with a smile.

Zeng Siping is two years older than the cute president, eight years older than the cute president, and Zeng Siping is already ten years old, and has become a beautiful and charming little girl.

Zeng Jize put down his pen and looked at his charming daughter. Zeng Siping was wearing an Austro-Hungarian dress, looking like a noble lady.

Zeng Jize pinched his daughter's face lovingly, "Aren't I in trouble with the alliance between China and the Austro-Hungarian Empire? There is probably no hope in Germany. There is not much hope in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The emperor agrees that we can stay in the second seat, but the other party still seems to have no enthusiasm."

Zeng Siping looked at the telegram and said in surprise: "I didn't expect that the emperor would agree that we would be in the next seat? What is the Austro-Hungarian Empire? We are an ancient country of civilization for thousands of years."

Zeng Jize chuckled and scraped Zeng Siping's pink little nose, "You, you still have an old-fashioned thought. The Qing court in the past was killed by this idea. Why do you think so too? If you don't look at history, do you understand now? Especially when the war with the Japanese is in a state of anxiety, we can't be blindly arrogant. Now we need to get public support from the international community."

"What should I do?" Zeng Siping held his delicate little face and blinked.

Zeng Jize shook his head and smiled, "Okay, go and play by yourself, don't make trouble here."

"Didn't I help my father find a solution? Besides, I have to help the emperor find a solution." Zeng Siping said, and his face turned red.

Zeng Jize saw it and teased: "Are you thinking about helping the emperor before you get married?"

"I won't marry the emperor." Zeng Siping covered his mouth and became shy.

"Haha, don't you want to marry the emperor? Don't you often think it's better than orange lotus root?" Zeng Jize continued to tease his daughter.

"Well, I am better than her. My grandfather is her father's mentor. On my head, I am the emperor's first concubine, second only to the queen." Zeng Siping pouted proudly and smiled.

Zeng Jize touched Zeng Siping's head lovingly, "People still have to rely on their ability and be humble. You can say such words at home, but you can't tell them to outsiders. Our Zeng family is now a minister. If the emperor hears these words, what will the emperor think of you?"

"I'm not stupid. I've graduated from high school in China. Have you ever seen someone who graduated from high school at the age of ten? I'll go to college when I go back, and I'm still very good at studying." Zeng Siping smiled, "Father, I'll give you an idea and bribe them. I don't often hear you say that this Austro-Hungarian Empire is actually similar to the original Qing Dynasty, except for its technological and military development."

Zeng Jize's eyes lit up, "You are really a ghost girl. Don't get involved in national affairs. Go and read your books. Father think about it again."

"Don't think about it, send a telegram to the emperor as soon as possible." Zeng Siping left with a smile.

Zeng Jize looked at his daughter's pretty back and couldn't help but smile and shook his head, "This weird little girl."

Zeng Siping has been studying music in Vienna these days, and she is more interested in music.

The Vienna Friends' Association Concert Hall is the oldest and most modern concert hall in Vienna. The "Golden Hall" in the hall is the legal place where "Vienna New Year Concerts" are held every year.

It was built in 1867 and completed in 1869. It is an Italian Renaissance-style building.

The exterior walls are yellow and red in color, and many statues of music goddesses are erected on the roof, which are elegant and chic. The Vienna Symphony Orchestra holds at least 12 concerts here every quarter.

The Vienna Friends' Concert Hall is the largest and most active concert hall in Austria. Like the Vienna State Opera and the "Golden Hall" of the Vienna Music Association, it is also the top hall in the world's music industry.

"Miss, are you going to the concert hall today?" Zeng Siping's personal maid asked.

"Well, I want to learn a few more songs. I should not think about adults' affairs." Zeng Siping smiled slightly, thinking about learning a few more songs, so that he could show off in front of Xuan Yuemeng at that time.

Although Zeng Siping and the Emperor rarely meet, they meet every year, especially the little girl is growing up.

Zeng Jize was still thinking about what his daughter said just now. In fact, Zeng Jize had thought about it before. After thinking about it, he would send a report immediately and ask the emperor for instructions.

The cute president believes that it is OK, where can there be no money in diplomacy? Let Zeng Jize take care of it himself, and the expenses can be paid from the headquarters of the European Station of the Bureau of Statistics.

Zeng Jize received the support of the emperor and became more confident, and made great contact with a group of nobles from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The emperor cannot bribe, and the queen with a high reputation seems to be able to do it, so he can only start from the nobles with high positions, power and influence. At the same time, Zeng Jize did not relax his idea of ​​opening up the situation from Count Andrach.

While Zeng Jize was actively diplomatic in Europe, the Chinese army's battle in Japan had reached its most critical juncture.

Both the Chinese army and the Japanese government forces changed their strategies. The Japanese originally wanted to wait until winter to fight attrition with the Chinese country. This was mainly because of Yama Prefecture's idea. However, the emperor and the Japanese people obviously couldn't wait. The shame of the Chinese army winning the battle and constantly occupying Japan's territory was overwhelming, which made this small island country breathless from top to bottom.

Even Hirofumi Ito and Prince Hirohito Arisugawa Miyaki, who were originally conservative in strategy, agreed with the idea of ​​a quick battle with the Chinese army.

On the Chinese side, Xuan Jianzhang, as the supreme commander, wanted the Japanese to fight him to a decisive battle. Because of the Chinese army's supply difficulties, there were more than 600,000 newly moved Chinese people. This was heavy and huge food pressure and ammunition was also a problem. Therefore, it would be more beneficial to the Chinese army to come up with earlier results, because the Chinese army was the proactive side.

"The first regiment rushed up to me and chased the brigade of Youpeng in Shanxian County." Xuan Jianzhang gave an order.

"Yes, the division seat." The chief of staff stood at attention.

The First Regiment of the Chinese Army attacked head-on and rushed straight to the middle of the eight Japanese government troops, with a rainbow of momentum!

The piles of corpses in the area of ​​Okura Castle are like mountains.

Xuan Jianzhang originally asked the Second Regiment to encircle the city and take down Kokura City, but the Second Regiment was actually stopped by the Japanese. Xuan Jianzhang had to change his tactics: "I will inform you that my First Regiment will personally take down Kokura City and let the Second Regiment and the Third Regiment encircle the two wings!"

"Yes, the division seat." The Chief of Staff stood at attention. "The division seat, but in this way, we may be surrounded by 40,000 to 50,000 Japanese troops? It's too dangerous."

"Why can others be dangerous, why can't we be dangerous? I personally command the First Regiment, so I naturally have to lead the way! I am not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Xuan Jianzhang said proudly.

"Yes! The teacher's seat." The Chief of Staff hurried down to pass the order.

Xuan Jianzhang said to Zhang Xuan, the leader of the first regiment around him: "How is it, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, Master's seat wants to attract the Japanese firepower themselves? I am willing to share life and death with Master's seat." Zhang Xuan said hurriedly.

"Haha, needless to say that it is so tragic. For the sake of China, our life and death are nothing." Xuan Jianzhang smiled slightly. "My trick is in harmony with the inside and outside, and the center is blooming. In history, how many generals died of this kind of tactic?"

"Is it a gamble with history?" Zhang Xuan and a group of officers looked at each other.

Xuan Jianzhang smiled and said, "I don't take the 50,000 Japanese seriously. What I am worried about is that the fleets of the British and French will take the Japanese follow-up troops and suddenly launch an attack on me, Nagasaki Castle and Sasebo Castle, land on the sea, cut off our retreat, and then oppress us."

Xuan Jianzhang is not a reckless man. If he dares to take risks, he will naturally take risks into consideration.
