willingness to resolve conflicts between the army and the navy."

Cui Guocheng naturally knew very well what was behind Lu Zongyu's problem. Perhaps Lu Zongyu was a pro-Japanese faction, but as an envoy stationed abroad, collecting intelligence was his job. However, compared to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Office in Japan,

Proactive, the legation's intelligence collection is too passive.

"Why."

Sighing, Lu Zongyu shook his head.

"I'm really worried that if Japan sends troops, it will have any impact on us. Maybe the current preferential conditions will also be affected. If that happens, we will suffer a big loss,"

Lu Zongyu sighed worriedly.

Lu Zongyu's worry made Cui Guocheng think for a moment, and then he said calmly but firmly:

"Actually, the problem is not in Japan!"

"Not in Japan?"

Looking at the surprised and puzzled Lu Zongyu, Cui Guocheng reminded:

"The expeditionary force is the foundation. If the expedition fails and cannot prove itself on the front line, even if Japan does not intervene, the French will find a way to give up on us. Is it so easy to scoop up Western banknotes? No, it is definitely not easy to scoop out.

Unless we fight a few battles to prove ourselves, the French will naturally not want to spend any more money to arm us."

His words made Lu Zongyu sigh in frustration. Now he knew clearly in his heart that if the expeditionary force could not prove to the French that their "investment" was worth the money, everything would be in trouble before the Japanese came forward.

It's all over. By then, this plan to arm a powerful army through the European War will probably come to nothing.

Thinking of the domestic expectations for the expeditionary force, Lu Zongyu's heart immediately rose to his throat.
