With the arrival of Wang Guangxu, the supply of basic firearms would not be a big problem. Some of them were even more advanced than Ocket's. However, the Qing army and technology could not be achieved overnight. They needed time to slowly develop. Before the national strength was sufficient, they could not reveal too much.
Wang Guangxu had no choice but to be careful. The Manchurian nobles were strongly opposed to setting up a bank, expanding the various refining stations, and purchasing new military ships. However, they did not dare to make any big moves after achieving a certain effect.

" Your Majesty, the Anda Nation has been our ancient nation for generations. Now that Ocket has sent troops to invade, Anda Nation has called for help several times. I don't know how to reply.“
Wang Ping was the first to speak.
"Andaan is a barren land, and our ancient country is unable to take care of it. It is better to take advantage of the pirates 'attention to other places and develop as soon as possible. Only then can we have hope of becoming a strong country!"“
"Anda is close to Yunnan and Guangxi, and they will arrive in the morning and evening. After the Occitans occupy Anda, they will definitely spy on that place.”
Zuo Zongtang sneered.
"We only need a large number of troops to guard Yunnan and Guangxi, and we naturally won't be afraid of the Ockts invading. Once the Ockts start a war with their strong ships and cannons, they can harass our ancient country's coastal defense along the way, and even reach Dagu Pass.”
Li Zhang naturally wouldn't be polite to Zuo Zongtang and said in a tit-for-tat manner.
"Don't tell me that after spending so much money, the Yun Xiang Navy can't even defend their territory?”
It was unknown who said this, but Li Zhang was furious.
"Presumptuous! How long had the Orcs developed their navy? How many are we? Currently, the navy of my ancient country is not even one-tenth of the strength of the Ockts. If we do not want to win in the sea battle, it is very likely that we will be completely annihilated!”
The Beiyang minister said angrily to the official.
"This Sixth Uncle can't sit still anymore? It seemed that the entire aboriginal group was starting to be dissatisfied with me.”
Wang Guangxu glanced at the few dignitaries present.
Based on Wang Ping's character, he should support the self-improvement movement. However, some of Wang Guangxu's recent actions had touched the interests of the Gu people's group. They had pushed Wang Ping out.
"My dear ministers, what you say makes sense. In that case, we will send a message to Yunnan and Guangxi to strengthen their defenses in case the Occitans launch a sneak attack!”
"As for whether or not to start a war, let all the officials who are qualified to submit a memorial submit it! It will be decided by the general trend."

Liu Fu led the Puppet God Army to defeat the Orcutt Army in Hanoi, annihilating thousands of Orcutt Colony Defense Department. He even killed General Lee Weili of the Orcutt Army, recovering a large area of territory and driving out the invading Orcutt Army.
The world was shaken, and the atmosphere in the imperial court relaxed. It seemed that the Occitans were just like this, and everything would return to its original state.
However, in the autumn, the Occitans made a comeback and occupied Hue, the capital of Andaan. Almost the entire Anda Nation had fallen. Immediately after that, Octor had forced his way to the border and sent a note to them, claiming the entire Anda Nation as their territory.
The entire court was shaken, and the world was in an uproar…
