But this thing is so open, in fact, it is just a means of hiding soldiers from the people.

The local police and even the firefighters in New Rome were required to undergo military training and assessment all year round.

The fact that these veterans will become commanders after they are discharged from the army will only help these potential reservists to increase their combat effectiveness.

Once New Rome is in need, then they will be able to pull out a few more corps in the blink of an eye in order to defend New Rome and their own lives.

Dewey may or may not have known.

But he wasn't stupid enough to ask any further.

He began to discuss current affairs with Han Huaiyi: "So Charlie, when do you think the United States will join Europe, and which side will it join?" ”

"There is no doubt that it is on the side of the Entente, but the turning point has not yet come, and I estimate that it will be about the same as waiting for this group of children to sharpen for another year." Han Huaiyi touched his chin and said.

It was early November 1915, and the sun was still shining brightly in the warm Caribbean.

But the European continent is littered with corpses.

What no one knows is that an even more brutal war is yet to come, and the famous Battle of Verdun has not yet begun.

On this day.

The Beiyang government ordered the third batch of Chinese laborers from Shandong to be sent to Europe.

This has been Beiyang's consistent position since the outbreak of World War I.

That is "replacing soldiers with work", which is a manifestation of openly guarding neutrality and secretly participating in the war.

The reason for this was because of China's long-standing philosophy of self-preservation, and also because the Entente camp turned a deaf ear when Japan occupied the German concession in Qingdao.

It has been half a year since the signing of the 21st article of Beiyang's humiliation.

To tell the truth, don't scold Yuan Shikai for betraying the country, no matter Li Hongzhang and Yuan Shikai have never willingly agreed to various terms, what can they do with such national strength? Yuan Weiting has done his best to reduce China's losses in this regard...

Lost the lining, the scene has to hold on.

In any case, being able to participate in international affairs is a good sign after all.

Therefore, in this political background, the Beiyang government organized a "march" ceremony with great fanfare to add luster to itself.

Due to the IMM steamship from Shanghai to France after transiting through the Panama Canal, all these tens of thousands of Chinese workers were sent to Shanghai.

Then set off in the farewell meeting with gongs and drums.

They were going to cross the Pacific Ocean – the Panama Canal – to reach France.

At the farewell party for Chinese workers in Shanghai, Yuan Weiting's eldest son, Yuan Keding, attended the ceremony, and then he was ordered by his father to try to contact the people of Shanghai New Rome.

However, the concession authorities and the current head of New Rome in Shanghai, Sparrow, the former captain of the sissy, expressed their position directly.

Neither the concession nor New Rome would be involved in any affairs in the Chinese mainland, so there was no need to have too close ties with the Beiyang government.

changed to Yuan Weiting, knowing the roots of New Rome, he had to pinch his nose and smile.

Yuan Keding is not.

He didn't really know how awesome New Rome was in Germany, and after he came back, he became the second person in the world, so he was naturally high-spirited.

In particular, New Rome took Kevin to the United States, which is obviously not from the "prince" line.

So he was furious and manipulated his men to attack New Rome in Shanghai, out of China's shameless behavior of not caring about China.

He even personally wrote an article to finalize that Han Huaiyi was a big comprador traitor.

Padro was not angry when he saw these tabloid, and only asked the French Concession authorities to take action to seize all these bastards.

But Du Yuesheng blew up.

You've been jumping up and down lately, and it's rare to come to Shanghai to do something, right?

So that night, the Splendid Hotel where Yuan Keding stayed was directly cut off from water and electricity, and Du Yuesheng's men simply picked up the guy and rushed to the outer wall to catch fire, and the glass in Yuan Keding's bedroom was shattered.

Yuan Keding went crazy directly, but just when he was about to transfer the troops of Zhang Jinghu, the commander of the Shanghai Army who belonged to Beiyang, Zhang Jinghu, who he was looking for, had already come to the door and said with a cold face: "Prince! Even the president can't be rude to Mr. Han, let alone you, a junior! ”

"You!"

"Ling Zun ordered me to ask you to return immediately. Please! ”

Zhang Jinghu's men immediately rushed unceremoniously to help Yuan Keding pack his things, and drove all his men to the side.

Yuan Keding and his subordinates all turned white.

Because it was only at this time that they remembered that Zhang Jinghu was also a figure in New Rome, could this be the meaning of Kewen? That can't be done again, in case they get caught ...

So Yuan Keding shouted: "Which of you dares to touch me!" As long as I have three long and two short, Hugh blame... ”

"You're good at it!" Zhang Jinghu angrily smashed the telegram in front of him: "You junior is arrogant and arrogant, just because he doesn't want to participate in the affairs of the quagmire, if he provokes him, don't talk about you, even your father is not enough!" ”

Yuan Keding looked at it again, and the telegram read: The old man has no way to teach his son, arrogant and rebellious, and I hope that you will make amends to Mr. Han for me, which is definitely not the original intention.

Yuan Keding was stunned, this is my father? That father who has become famous in all directions for three thousand miles in the north, and now has hundreds of thousands of male soldiers and looks at the world?

He came vigorously and was warmly welcomed by all walks of life.

When he left, he was silent and disgraced.

When I returned to Beijing to see Yuan Weiting, I had really understood Han Huaiyi's ability and status on the way.

So he immediately wept bitterly, saying that he was just too eager to find help for his father.

Yuan Weiting was depressed by his son, and also shed tears and said: "That bearded guest has looked down on your father since we met in the early years, but he favors Kewen, I always want to have a relationship with Kewen, he can take care of me to some extent, who knows that he doesn't ask when I'm lonely, and he doesn't ask when I'm erect!" He really didn't have me in his eyes. ”

He also said, "I asked you to go this time so that you could test and tempt whether there would be any change in them in this situation." Who knew they were still like this! Anyway, if you make trouble, I'm not happy in my heart anyway. ”

After all, he is now the center of power in the Qing court, commanding all directions.

Han Huaiyi's mentality has changed a little, to put it mildly, he has the confidence to scold a few voices behind his back after all.

That's it.

Yuan Keding immediately began to operate the major event of allowing his father to ascend the throne in the north。。。。。

Yuan Kewen learned about the incident in December.

At this time, the country was already anti-Yuan everywhere.

Yuan Kewen was filial and simple, and after knowing it, he came to Han Huaiyi to ask for help.

"Big brother." Kewen cried bitterly and pulled Han Huaiyi's sleeve: "You save him." ”

"No one can save you." Han Huaiyi helped him sit down and sighed: "Yuan Weiting is a hero, he only holds the sky, and he actually has no debt to the interests of the country, but he is a mortal after all, and it is due to your brother's selfishness and his inner desire to come to this point, he doesn't understand a key." ”
