Half an hour later, Jiang Qing and Lou Ling arrived at the office. Their expressions didn't look good. It was no wonder. Two years ago, Hoen Di fell seriously ill. The doctor said that he was too tired and wanted him to put down his work and recuperate. Hence, Li Yi stripped Hoen Di of his position as the Revival Society's president and sent him back to recuperate. He left Huo En Di's work to Jiang Qing and Lou Ling. Now that two years had passed, Hoen Di had completely recovered. He actually took the warrant and chased them off the stage. How could their moods be good?
Li Yi knew what they were thinking just by looking at them." Jiang Qing, Lou Ling, are you two blaming me for removing your positions?"”
Jiang Qing and Lou Ling rolled their eyes and said," How would I dare? Since it's President's will, how can we disobey?”His words were laced with sarcasm.
Ever since Lu Yi and Liu Qingsheng went to the Renaissance Society to train the 3,000 members of the society, they also followed the brainwashing method of the military, causing the loyalty of the people in the Renaissance Society to reach the highest standard. It was almost equivalent to the SS under Adolf Hitler. Jiang Qing and Lou Ling had witnessed Li Yi's growth for so many years and now had absolute confidence in him. Of course, loyalty was a must. The reason why they spoke to him like this did not mean that they were disloyal to Li Yi. The main reason was that their positions had been removed. They were still somewhat uncomfortable, so it was only right for them to complain.
Li Yi smiled and said," Look at your expressions. Even if you're lying, you're not like that. Hehe, forget it. I didn't ask you to come down to make things difficult for you. I have other things for you to do." Didn't they conquer many cities some time ago? The middle and low-level officials we have trained have been sent over. I just spoke to Huo Yuanying on the phone. He said that the situation in those cities has been completely grasped. I asked you two to bring some people over to take over those cities. Here, this is your transfer order." He took out a few letters of appointment and handed them to the two of them.
The two of them picked it up and looked at it. They immediately beamed with joy.”
Li Yi laughed." Look at the two of you. You looked like your mother just died. Are you so happy just because I asked you to be a chief?" I didn't mean what I said in the past. How could I forget all of you, my old brothers who followed me since the beginning? "Alright, go. Take care of those cities for me. Don't make any mistakes or take bribes. If I find out, those people from the Law Enforcement Department won't be easy to deal with. Go!"
When the two of them heard about the law enforcement department, their hearts trembled at the same time. They looked at each other and bowed." Yes, president. We'll take our leave first."”
The Law Enforcement Department was a special department specially formed by the 3,000 people after training and training. It was similar to the combination of modern courts and police stations. Everyone had the skills and abilities of a special forces soldier. Under the control of Lu Yi and Liu Qingsheng, the Law Enforcement Department was 100% loyal to Li Yi. In the beginning, it was not made known to the public. Only when there were traitors or people who violated the rules in the Renaissance Society would the law enforcement department immediately move out to arrest and sentence them. He appeared and disappeared unpredictably, and his methods were vicious. He was basically on par with Li Yi who hammered people into mincemeat, or even more powerful. It was no wonder that Jiang Qing and Lou Ling were terrified when they heard about this department.
Li Yi nodded and looked at their backs. He leaned back in his office chair and fell into deep thought again.
All the countries in the outside world were shocked when they heard about the destruction in Tokyo. However, only Achim and Falk knew the truth of the matter. They were also threatened by Li Yi, so they did not dare to reveal that Li Yi was behind this. Although the western countries were surprised that Li Yi had such an advanced rifle, they would never believe that Li Yi, who was lagging behind China, would have such a powerful weapon. Therefore, they did not pay any attention to Li Yi.
As a result, in the alliance of the western countries, you suspected me, I suspected you, suspected that the other party was hiding such a powerful weapon that could destroy the country. Coupled with the uneven distribution of benefits and other problems, the alliance had a slight crack, and there was the possibility of disbanding the alliance at any time. Now, all they needed was a fuse to cause the Western Alliance to collapse instantly. Would Li Yi let go of such a great opportunity? Of course, it was impossible.
After what happened, it was as if they had witnessed Li Yi destroy the entire Tokyo of Japan. The fear of such destruction had left the two of them trembling in fear. They immediately sent all the news back to Germany in secret. At first, Kaiser Wilhelm II did not believe it. However, after his two most loyal subordinates repeatedly assured him that it was true, he was a little afraid.
After all, Li Yi's words were too shocking. He could attack anywhere in the world just by sitting in his office. All he had to do was move his fingers. No matter what the truth was, William II did not dare to take this gamble. However, it was quite difficult to make the arrogant William II submit. Hence, he gave an order to Ashim and Falk to maintain a friendly relationship with Li Yi. They could even ignore the conditions of the previous alliance agreement. If the other party needed any help, Ashim and the others had to do it. He would delay it for the time being until he confirmed the authenticity of the matter.
William II's order made both Ashim and Falk's faces turn bitter. Li Yi's request was to make Germany submit to him. How were they supposed to answer him when he gave such an order? Do you really have to wait until he goes to Berlin, Germany, and make a few moves? Do you have to wait until His Majesty William II goes to the legendary hell of China before you agree? When that time comes, don't you think it's too late?
The two shook their heads helplessly and had no choice but to make a trip to Li Yi's place. Li Yi was silent for a while after the recount. In the end, he had Ashim and Falk sign a new alliance agreement with him. The agreement stated that both parties were equal. Li Yi would provide assistance to the German team in terms of the rifle and cannon technology, while the German team and the allied countries would have to cooperate with Li Yi's next move. This made both Achim and Falk heave a sigh of relief. They were afraid, afraid that Li Yi would get angry and use his beautiful fingers to move a few times, causing Germany to be destroyed. That would be a huge sin for them.
One day in the middle of October 1885, the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hun Empire, Rudolf, was assassinated. Emperor Franz Joseph I of the Austro-Hun Empire was furious and ordered that the murderer must be found to avenge the Crown Prince. However, two months later, they had not found a single clue. Emperor Franz Joseph I only had one son, and now he was assassinated. In the absence of a crown prince, Franz Ferdinand, the son of his younger brother, Archduke Karl Ludwig, had to be appointed as the next crown prince of the Hapsberg Dynasty.
In March 1886, Franz Ferdinand, the crown prince of the Austro-Hun Empire, was invited to pay a visit to Ruoyun. As a result, he was assassinated by the serbian nationalist Princeps at the age of 23. This was the end of the Austro-Hun Empire. How could Emperor Franz Joseph I and Archduke Karl Ludovic not be furious? The international situation became even more tense.
As early as 1882, Germany had already roped in the Austro-Hun Empire, Italy, and China's Li Yi, signing an alliance contract. At that time, the other countries would not even look at Li Yi, the newly emerged warlord of the Celestial Empire. However, after Li Yi used atomic bombs to destroy Tokyo, William II, who knew the truth, felt as if he had been drenched in cold water. He calmed down completely and realized how powerful this young warlord was. Hence, he had no choice but to change his strategy towards Li Yi and treat him as an equal ally.
Due to the greed of Britain and France, the distribution of benefits among the Western countries was uneven. Coupled with the destruction of Tokyo in Japan, it led to the collapse of the Western Alliance. Following that, when the two crown princes of the Austro-Hun Empire were assassinated, Kaiser Wilhelm II had already begun his preparations in advance after receiving Li Yi's assistance with the repeating rifles and cannons. With such a good opportunity, the ambitious William II was naturally unwilling to give up such a good opportunity. Furthermore, Li Yi had already ordered the German army to cooperate with him, so how could he possibly hold back? As a result, the First World War broke out twenty years earlier.
Needless to say, the Austro-Hun Empire's Crown Prince, Rudolph, was actually assassinated by Li Yi using a submarine that transported a few spies from the Red Alert base. Then, the Ruoyun official who had invited Franz Ferdinand to visit Sofia and Princeps who had killed him were actually disguised as spies. The real officials and Princeps had long been killed and replaced by spies. After everything was settled, these spies immediately went into hiding and waited for the next order to be issued, and then…
When the news came back, Li Yi sat in his office and laughed for a long time. It was too interesting. The Europeans would never have thought that the fight was actually caused by the spies he sent out. Even Achim and Falk, who had always been the liaison officers between Germany and himself, felt that the development of the matter was a little strange. At the same time, she was also very surprised at how Li Yi knew that something would happen in Europe. Of course, Li Yi would not be so foolish as to tell them. He would let them speculate and make himself seem even more mysterious in their eyes. At the same time, Li Yi could not help but admire the spies in the Red Alert base. They could actually do the same thing as the Demoness. Cough, they had unknowingly fallen for their trap.
All of a sudden, everyone's attention was focused on Europe, and the war became bigger and bigger. It completely became a war between the allied countries and the allied countries. Currently, the most advanced weapons in the world were only his own, followed by Germany. As Germany had been preparing for a few months in advance, they were completely self-sufficient and did not need Li Yi's help at all. Coincidentally, Li Yi was not too interested in a war. He just wanted to take advantage of the fact that all the other countries were not looking at China to speed up the pace of conquering the entire country.
The Empress Dowager of the Forbidden City had sent out her most elite troops, Zeng Guofan's Xiang Army and Li Hongzhang's Huai Army, to attack from both sides. She wanted to get rid of Li Yi, who was entrenched in Shanghai and the surrounding provinces and cities. However, Li Yi had already instructed Huo Yuanying and his two brothers to prepare a large number of cannons of all kinds in advance. They were ready for battle. Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang's old muskets that needed to be reloaded and the red cannons that fired solid shells were covered by a large number of artillery fire before they could even see anyone. Even Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang didn't have the slightest chance to escape. They could only watch as several shells fell on their heads.
This made the Empress Dowager panic. Her most elite army couldn't even withstand a round of artillery fire. Even Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang had sacrificed themselves for the country. What should she do? After thinking about it, he finally came up with a crooked idea.
On this day, Li Yi was in Shanghai's Xinghua Army command post with Hou Qing and some outstanding graduates from the Military Academy who specialized in military affairs. They were discussing their future military plans. There was a knock on the door. As Li Yi's subordinate, Chief of Staff Hou Qing shouted," Come in."
A guard wearing a black military uniform walked in and saluted." Chancellor, someone from the capital is here."”
Li Yi was stunned. He looked at Hou Qing and the others who were equally baffled. After some thought, he asked," How many people are there?”
The guard replied," There are three of them. One of them is a eunuch, and the other two are wearing yellow mandarin robes. They seem to be imperial guards.”
Li Yi thought about it and nodded." Okay, let the eunuch in. The rest…" He made a throat-cutting gesture.
The guard replied," Yes, Chancellor!" He bowed respectfully and walked out.
Li Yi turned to Hou Qing and the other advisors and said," Hou Qing, Liang Qichao, Wang Guowei, Chen Yinke, Zhao Yuanren, you can leave first. We'll discuss this later."”
The five of them saluted and said," Yes, Chancellor!”
Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Chen Yinke, and Zhao Yuanren were known as the "Four Great Teachers" of the Qing Academy of Political Science. He was a pioneer of the new academic world in China, a master of Chinese and Western aesthetics, and had made outstanding achievements in literature, aesthetics, history, philosophy, ancient characters, archaeology, and other fields. After Li Yi opened the new school, the Military Academy, in Shanghai, he had exchanged many new culture, military manuals, and documents on the constitution of the monarch from the Lord of Gods Ring. He placed them in the Military Academy, attracting many patriotic students to join.
The most famous ones were Wang Guowei, Liang Qichao, Chen Yinke, and Zhao Yuanren. They thought that Li Yi was the one who wrote and published those new books. They were rather impressed by Li Yi. Thus, they all joined in and studied very hard. Naturally, Li Yi would not let go of such a talent. After they graduated, they were directly promoted to the General Staff Department and became General Staff Officers.
Of course, they were not the only lucky ones. There were many outstanding scholars in the late Qing Dynasty who were pioneers or supporters of new academic theories. Now that Li Yi had a complete new theory, how could they not be hungry? They all entered Li Yi's lecture hall. It also increased the number of talents under Li Yi's command. Some of them had joined the army, while others specialized in studying political theories. This laid a solid foundation for the people sent to the areas occupied by the Xin Hua Army in the future.
After a while, a middle-aged eunuch dressed in a traditional eunuch uniform of the Qing Dynasty walked in with his body hunched over. He held a scroll made of yellow silk in his hands. Li Yi took a look. It should be the legendary imperial edict.
The eunuch kept his head down, his body trembling. Through these two battles with the Qing army, he had almost completely wiped out the Qing army. Even the most elite Xiang and Huai armies of the Qing Dynasty had died in his hands so quickly. Li Yi, the traitor in their eyes, had practically become a Soul Sealer in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty's dignitaries. Anyone who caught his eye would die. This time, the empress dowager had asked this eunuch to read the imperial edict, and there was a secret mission. It was already a narrow escape. Everyone was afraid of death, so how could they not be afraid?
The eunuch sneaked a glance at Li Yi from the brim of his hat and saw Li Yi staring at him with a playful expression. He was so frightened that his entire body trembled and he almost knelt on the ground. However, for the dignity of the Qing Dynasty, the eunuch was willing to go all out. With a hint of flattery, he said," You must be the leader of the Xinghua Army, Mr. Li Yi, right?”That tone was very strange. Did a man cut that thing off with his bare hands sound nice? Of course, it could also be very good, such as Lin Qingxia's version of Invincible East. Cough, this...
Li Yi's lips curled up and he asked noncommittally," Why did that old woman send you here? Hurry up and tell me, I don't have that much time to waste on her.”
The eunuch's eyes widened. He had never heard anyone call the empress dowager an old woman before. His heart pounded violently. He calmed himself down and said in a trembling voice," Mr. Li, please show some respect."”
Li Yi's eyes flashed coldly as he said," You have no right to talk about dignity with me here. Tell me now, or I'll kill you."”
The eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. He shouted," Don't kill me, don't…"
From afar, Li Yi could smell urine. He frowned and asked," What are you here for?" Hmm?"
The eunuch suddenly took out a handgun from his bosom and was ready to fire at Li Yi. The two guards who had been paying attention to the eunuch's movements immediately hit the eunuch's head with the butt of their guns. The gun in the eunuch's hand instantly fell to the ground, and he didn't even have the chance to pull the trigger. She hugged her head and screamed. Blood kept flowing from the gaps between her nails.
