    "Sir, the British Consul Jourdian, the French Consul Pierre, the Russian Consul Sergey, the American Consul Sherlock and the German Consul Lucas are here together!" At this time, the butler Wang Quan knocked on the door and walked in.  Wang Xiaohui reports.

    "The consuls from five countries came together? What do they want to do?" Jiang Xingguo frowned.

    "What else can we do? They just want us to give up as soon as we see fit. However, Western Sichuan is not what it was more than ten years ago. If we want us to just give up, we have to make them pay a big enough price!" Wang  A trace of cruelty flashed in Xiao's eyes.  More than ten years ago, he was forced to retreat to western Sichuan, which has always been a thorn in his heart.  Now that the great powers want to repeat their same tactics, he will never agree to it.  Nowadays, Western Sichuan is no longer at the mercy of others, whether it is economic strength or military strength.

    "Don't worry, Commander, our army has only undergone preliminary mobilization. If the foreign powers dare to force themselves, we can at least arm millions of troops!" Jiang Xingguo replied loudly.  Compared with the navy, the Western Sichuan Army is no good.  But if fighting on land, Western Sichuan is really not afraid of those powers.  Their navy spans the world, but they can't bring their warships to land to fight the Western Sichuan Army, right?

    "Well! The army is our backbone. Whether we can straighten our backs depends on the army. The second phase of mobilization has been secretly started, and the Western Sichuan Army will expand to 5 more divisions. As for military expenses, I will advance them personally!  "Wang Xiao said.

    "Yes, Commander!" Jiang Xingguo immediately accepted the order.  5 divisions is almost 100,000 people.  Now the strength of the Western Sichuan Army has been used to the limit. If there are an additional 100,000 mobile troops, the strength of the Western Sichuan Army will be much more abundant.

    "Wang Quan, please ask the consuls of several countries to go to the reception room. I will go to see them right away!" Wang Xiao said.

    "Yes, sir!" Wang Quan nodded and exited the study.

    "Xingguo, order the front line to step up the attack. How much benefit we can gain in this battle depends on them. Even if we cannot overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we will never spit out the fat in our mouths.  !" Wang Xiao said.

    Jiang Xingguo nodded and immediately returned to the staff headquarters to convey the order.

    Wang Xiao stood in front of the huge map of China in the study, looking at the enemy and friend situations marked on it, with a serious face.  In this battle, Western Sichuan not only annexed the two provinces of Qinghai and Gansu, but also controlled Shaanxi, Hubei and Yunnan and Guizhou, almost occupying half of China.  The only flaw is that there is no outlet to the sea yet.  If we can get Guangxi, it will be perfect.

    "Hmph! Damn foreign devils, one day, I will let you know how powerful we Chinese are!" Wang Xiao murmured.  Then he walked out of the study and went to the reception room to meet with the consuls of several countries.

    In the reception room, the consuls from the five countries were talking loudly.  The object of discussion is precisely the current war situation.  Being in Chengdu, they can feel the strength of Western Sichuan even more.  In their eyes, it was inevitable that the Qing Dynasty would lose this war.  What they want to do is to reduce the Qing's losses as much as possible and help the Qing maintain its rule in China as much as possible.  Except, of course, the German consul Lucas.  The Western Sichuan Army achieved successive victories, which made Germany, which was almost an ally of Western Sichuan, very happy.  A powerful ally located in the east of the world is of great help to Germany.

    "Hi, gentlemen. Do you think the current army in western Sichuan would be considered first-rate if it were placed in Europe? First-rate or second-rate?" French Consul Pierre said.

    "They should be at least second-rate! Their performance on the battlefield is almost perfect. Such an army is difficult to find even in Europe!" Consul Zhu Erdian said.  Zhu Erdian has conducted very in-depth research on Western Sichuan in recent years, especially the military strength of Western Sichuan.  He concluded that, excluding the nearly zero navy in Western Sichuan, Western Sichuan could be regarded as a first-class power in Europe in terms of military and economic strength.

    A smile appeared on the corner of German Consul Lucas¡¯s mouth. The establishment of the Western Sichuan Army was indispensable with the help of Germany.  It can even be said that the Western Sichuan Army is completely based on the German Army.  It's just that the Western Sichuan Army has made some improvements based on its own national conditions.  However, this improvement not only did not weaken the combat effectiveness of the Western Sichuan Army, but actually improved their combat effectiveness.  As far as the weapons and equipment equipped by the Western Sichuan Army are concerned, they are no worse than those of the German Army.  Even in terms of the equipment of heavy weapons such as artillery and heavy machine guns, it is more powerful than the German Army.  In particular, the mortars of the Western Sichuan Army, which can attack enemy troops in trenches, are recognized by the German Army.  Now, the German Army is also replacing this weapon.  Lucas even believes that the Western Sichuan Army is no longer weaker than Germany.??The Army is gone.  Of course, in his mind, the German Army is still the best in the world!

    "Sir Lucas, what do you think?" Pierre asked.  Although most French people have always been bitter about the defeat of the Second French Empire at the hands of the Germans, they have to admit that the German Army is indeed the strongest in Europe.

    "Judging from the current situation, the Western Sichuan Army is no longer weaker than our German Army. Of course, this refers to their elite troops!" Lucas replied.

    "Hiss!" Everyone couldn't help but gasped. They didn't expect Lucas to have such a high opinion of the Western Sichuan Army.

    "Sir Lucas, are you kidding me? Has the army in western Sichuan reached the first-class level in Europe?" American Consul Sherlock asked in surprise.  As we all know, the U.S. Army has always been their shortcoming.  It was hard for Sherlock to believe it when Lucas spoke so highly of the Western Sichuan Army.

    Lucas nodded seriously.  Anyway, this is just his own point of view. Whether others will believe it or not is not within his scope of consideration.

    A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Russian Consul Sergei¡¯s mouth. He did not agree with Lucas¡¯s words, but he did not refute it.  Russia has a standing army of one million. If fully mobilized, it can even arm millions of troops. It has always been supported by European steam rollers. They have not paid attention to the German Army, which is known as the strongest army in the world, and naturally they will not treat it.  Students of the German Army, the Western Sichuan Army looked at them differently.

    "The commander is here!" Suddenly, a guard's voice came from outside the door.  The consuls of several countries in the reception room immediately stood up.

    Then, Wang Xiao walked in with a smile on his face and seemed to be in good spirits.

    "Everyone, my friends, welcome." Wang Xiao warmly shook hands with the consuls of several countries.  When it was the turn of German Consul Lucas, he gave him a big hug, which vividly demonstrated the relationship between Western Sichuan and Germany.  The consuls of several other countries couldn't help but frown.

    Everyone sat down, and the servants immediately sent Xiangyu, and then withdrew from the meeting room.

    "Dear consuls, I wonder if you have anything to do with coming to my place today?" Wang Xiao asked after taking a sip of tea.  Although, he had already guessed the purpose of these people.

    "Your Majesty the Patrol Envoy, first of all, I congratulate the Western Sichuan Army on their victory on the battlefield. However, the wars in the past few days have threatened the interests of all countries. Therefore, we especially want to know when Western Sichuan is going to end this war and let the entire  China has regained peace!" Zhu Erdian asked.  The British Empire was now at its peak and its influence spread all over the world.  It is undoubtedly the most appropriate for him to ask the question.

    "Your Excellency, Consul, we did not start this war. We in Western Sichuan are just fighting back in self-defense. However, the enemy has the power to start a war, but we have the final say when to end the war!" Wang Xiao looked solemn.  said.

    "So, Your Excellency, Patrol Envoy, when does Western Sichuan plan to end the war?" Zhu Erdian pressed forward step by step.

    "It's hard to say. It depends on the situation on the front line. For example, taking Beijing or occupying the whole country. The war will naturally be over by then!" Wang Xiao replied.

    Zhu Erdian and the consuls of several other countries frowned.  If the ambition of Western Sichuan is really to replace the Manchu Qing through this war, then this is definitely not a good thing for all countries.

    "Your Excellency, Inspector, now that the Qing Dynasty has been punished, I think it is time to end the war. After all, it is the Chinese people who suffered in the war!" French Consul Pierre interrupted.

    "Your Excellency Pierre, is this your own intention or the French government's?" Wang Xiao stared at Pierre closely, and the sunken eye sockets burst out with a frightening brilliance.

    "This, of course this is what our government means!" Pierre's voice stuttered.  Obviously, Wang Xiao's terrifying gaze shocked him.

    "Your Majesty, the British Imperial Government means the same thing! We all have a lot of interests in China, and war will harm the interests of all our countries. Therefore, we hope that peace can be restored between Western Sichuan and the Qing Dynasty. If there are disputes, they can be negotiated.  To solve the problem, there is no need to resort to force!" Zhu Erdian also said.

    "Your Majesty, our Russian government means the same thing. The Russian government does not want anything to endanger Russia's interests. If necessary, Russia will send troops to protect its interests!" Russian Consul Sergey also said.  The coercion in the words was very strong.

    Now, only the American Consul Sherlock and the German Consul Lucas have not expressed their attitude.

    Wang Xiao looked at Lucas, but Lucas gave him a helpless look.?After all, Germany is still a Western country and obviously cannot be separated from the entire Western world.  At best they would stay out of the way, but they could not stop other countries.

    Wang Xiao took a deep breath, and then said: "In this case, if other countries go to war with Western Sichuan, Western Sichuan will accompany you to the end!"
