Two days later, the Qingdao Command sent people to Wangjiazhai Village and brought the command of the Command: first rituals and then troops.

That is, first of all, we will contact Jiaozhou County and negotiate, warning Jiaozhou County not to interfere in Wangjiazhai's affairs, nor to protect the remnants of the Wang family. If Jiaozhou County agrees to the request of the time traveler, then the time traveler can guarantee that it will not invade Jiaozhou County. Otherwise, we will simply send troops to break Jiaozhou County and include Jiaozhou County under the jurisdiction of the time traveler.

The working group did not expect that the command center would not adopt a concession attitude towards Jiaozhou County, but instead was tougher. However, this attitude was very much in the appetite of the working group. After all, most of the working group were young people, and had a relatively harsh temper. They generally despise the Qing court. After all, a power that had signed countless incompetent regimes that had lost power and humiliated the country would naturally not make time travelers have a good attitude towards them.

It turned out that after receiving the report from the working group, the Qingdao Command also attached great importance to it because this was the first time that the time traveler had formally contacted the forces of the Qing Dynasty. Although the former principle of the time traveler was not to have a head-on conflict with the Qing Dynasty, the situation this time was different. Jiaozhou County was too close to Wangjiazhai Village, and the Wang family obviously had considerable influence in Jiaozhou County. Wang Kefu, the second son of the Wang family, was in the case of the book in Jiaozhou County. Therefore, this time he wanted to hide but could not escape, unless the time traveler gave up Wangjiazhai Village, but this was obviously something that the time traveler could not accept.

So the three persons in charge of Qingdao Command, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and Wang Yunpeng, immediately started negotiations.

Xiao Jianjun thought that it would be better to just take down Jiaozhou County, because the geographical location of Jiaozhou County is very important to Qingdao. In the old time and space, Jiaozhou was under the management of Qingdao City, and Jiaozhou was also the first stop of the Jiaoji Railway. Therefore, taking Jiaozhou County not only could expand the control scope of the time traveler, but also conform to the plan to expand along Jiaozhou Bay formulated by the time traveler.

As for whether to take Jiaozhou County and break up with the Qing court, Xiao Jianjun believes that this possibility is not great, because the Qing court is now running away, and almost all northern China is in a disorderly state. Therefore, the time travel group can take advantage of this kind of muddy water to touch a few more fish, seize several counties around Jiaozhou Bay, and stabilize the rule of the time travelers. After the Qingting stabilized, it has become a fact, and it is estimated that the Qingting can only recognize it.

In addition, time travelers do not want to rely on the Qing court, but only need a position of the Qing court. There is no need to be too polite to the Qing court. When it is time to be tough, it should be unpolite. This is better to deal with the Qing court, because it can make the Qing court understand that time travelers are not easy to fool, and the weak and incompetent characteristics of the Qing court cannot break up with time travelers for these counties.

It should be said that Xiao Jianjun's opinion represents a considerable number of time travelers, who are soldiers. Because as time travelers win continuously on the battlefield, many time travelers believe that there is no need to worry about the attitude of the Qing court, but should make every effort to expand their sphere of influence.

Although Qin Zheng also believes that Xiao Jianjun's opinion is reasonable. After all, not having a head-on conflict with the Qing Dynasty does not mean that time travelers should try their best to give in to the Qing Dynasty. When they should be tough, they should be tough. This is not only for the interests of the time travelers themselves, but also a sure signal to the people in the current time travelers' control area, that is, under the rule of time travelers, there is no need to be afraid of the power of the Qing government. But don't be too tough. After all, steelmakers are easy to break, and once they are too tough, it is not a good thing for time travelers.

Therefore, Qin Zheng advocated negotiating with Jiaozhou County first, requiring Jiaozhou County to give up interfering in Wangjiazhai's affairs and not to protect the Wang family. Qin Zheng believed that as long as the magistrate of Jiaozhou County was normal, he would not refuse the request of the time traveler. First, at this time, Jiaozhou County could not have heard of the reputation of the time traveler. Not to mention the matter in Tianjin, but Qingdao is close to Jiaozhou. Even the Eight-Nation Alliance is not the opponent of the time traveler. A small Jiaozhou County wants to block the time traveler's army. Any normal-minded person would not have such an idea. Second, although he did not know who the local officials in Jiaozhou County were and their tempers, according to the bad habits of the Qing court officialdom, the local officials in Jiaozhou County probably would not be better. It would not be beneficial to them to fight with the time traveler.

Moreover, if Jiaozhou County agrees to the request of the time traveler, it does not mean that the time traveler cannot expand along the Jiaozhou Bay coast, because the time traveler can let go of the county town and choose to control the rural areas around the county town. This is the time traveler version of the "rural surrounds the city". On the contrary, without the government's control, the time traveler will expand in the countryside more easily. At the same time, it can also provide an example for other nearby prefectures and prefectures. When the power of the time traveler arrives, Jiaozhou County can be a very good example of imitation schools.

Of course, if the local official in Jiaozhou County is a Erlingzi and rejects the request of the time traveler, then it cannot be said that it can only be solved by force and conquered Jiaozhou County. This can also give other nearby prefectures and prefectures, which is the outcome of going against the time traveler.

Xiao Jianjun and Wang Yunpeng had no objection to Qin Zheng's opinion, but Wang Yunpeng raised a question: how to negotiate with Jiaozhou County, how to inform the local officials of Jiaozhou County of the negotiations, or go directly to Jiaozhou County to go to the local officials, but this involves two new questions: First, can you meet the local officials even if you enter Jiaozhou County? Although the county magistrate in ancient China was only a seventh-rank sesame official, he was the honor of a county, also known as "Bailihou". The time traveler is nameless and has no power, so why should the county magistrate meet you? Second, if the local official in Jiaozhou County is really a second-length son and refuses the request of the time traveler, then wouldn't the person who goes to Jiaozhou County to negotiate?

It should be said that Wang Yunpeng's concerns are indeed reasonable, so Qin Zheng thought of Riddle, a German who participated in the reconnaissance operation last time, and this time he still needed to use his foreign body. In this era, foreigners do have a transcendent status in China, so taking a foreigner to negotiate can also increase the safety factor of negotiators.

However, absolute security is impossible, but even if you want to build your own country and conquer the stars and seas, it is inevitable to take a little risk. Of course, it is better to adhere to the principle of voluntary action to see if Riddle himself is willing to complete this dangerous task.

After completing the reconnaissance mission, Riddle did not return to Tianjin, but stayed in Qingdao to participate in the construction of Sifang Locomotive Factory, Shipyard, Arsenal and other projects in Qingdao. Because Riddle was originally a major in machinery, although the times were different, the basic principles of mechanical engineering were the same. On the one hand, the temporary executive committee considered Riddle's profession, and on the other hand, among the foreigners who traveled through the group, Riddle was a relatively reliable one. He had lived in China for more than ten years and married a Chinese as his wife. This time he was willing to undertake the dangerous task of reconnaissance, which could basically be trusted and entrusted with the task of refuting.

The infrastructure of these factories has been basically completed and entered the debugging and installation stage of machinery and equipment, which is exactly the same as Riddle's professionalism. Moreover, the technical workers who are responsible for installing these equipment are all Germans, and there is no obstacle to communication with Reed and is quite friendly. Riddle is also very happy because not only has something to do, but he is the first foreigner in the time travel group to prove his value.

The command found Reed and asked him if he was willing to perform another dangerous mission. Reed agreed immediately. The last reconnaissance mission was completed in a simple manner, which made Riddle a little regretful. Therefore, when he encountered such an opportunity, Riddle wanted to experience the dangerous mission again. At the same time, in order to be more realistic, Riddle suggested to the command that he would take a few more people from the German prisoners. After consideration, the command decided to find a German missionary and Riddle to accompany him.

Seeing that Riddle agreed to help, the Qingdao Command immediately reported the action plan to Tianjin, and soon obtained approval from Tianjin. So the Command sent a platoon to escort Reed and the missionaries to Wangjiazhai Village.

After receiving the command from the command center, the working group immediately began to implement it. The first thing is to determine the candidates to enter Jiaozhou City for negotiations. After all, Riddle is just a supporting role, and the person who presided over the negotiations needs to be a member of the working group. However, going to the city for negotiations is quite dangerous. Although being accompanied by foreigners can greatly reduce the risks, it is not absolutely safe. If you really meet a magistrate of Erlenzi, who can guarantee that he will do something. After finally traveling through time, he died in Jiaozhou City before he could enjoy the wonderful life after traveling through time. Of course, no one would be willing to accept it.

At this time, Wang Shengdao showed his brave side and took the initiative to assume this dangerous task. As he took the lead, three more people also asked to participate in the negotiation. Finally, after drawing lots, Marseille became another candidate. Luo Yue sent Ban Xiaowei to accompany and protect him. There were a total of nine people who entered Jiaozhou City for negotiations.

Of course, both hands must be missing from the civil and military equipment. First of all, each time traveler is equipped with a Type 92 pistol and a tactical vest. Ban Xiaowei is equipped with a double Type 92 pistol and a tactical vest. Ban Xiaowei also has four grenades. At the same time, the time traveler is equipped with two walkie-talkies, which can be called for help outside the city at any time. The four People's Army soldiers are equipped with Mauser Type 96 pistols seized by each. Only the foreign monks have no weapons. Such weapons are equipped, even if Jiaozhou County intends to be unfavorable to the time traveler, it can withstand for a while.
