Group discussions, which are also part of the plenary session, have already been raised when grassroots representatives were invited to Beijing before, and asked them to bring some problems encountered at the local level, or in the political economy, and even in the people's livelihood, to the congress in a unified manner, and to discuss them at the provincial level, mainly to solve some problems at the grassroots level, such as the building of some local legal systems, and the discussion of some local proposals.

Compared with the government work report and the First Five-Year Plan, these can be released to the outside world, do not worry about leaking things, or hand over to those foreigners, the northwest can not hide all the things, with the northwest getting bigger and bigger, more and more areas of influence, these things can not be hidden, just look at the British and the United States sent over the ship orders can be seen, the other party has estimated the level of the northwest in the civil shipbuilding industry, these are almost the highest areas

This more or less made Britain, France and the United States vigilant, and then, they wanted to inquire more about the intelligence of the Northwest, rather than let them spare no effort to investigate and send a large number of spies.

These things, although they will expose some things in the northwest, but they are more just some small things, which cannot be said to be the length of the east and the shortness of the west, and they are also the most subtle places, perhaps for reporters, they can be used as news points and explodes, but as the great powers with ulterior motives, at most they can see a little strength in the northwest, and it is impossible to see the leopard in the tube and see the real strength of the northwest now.

The two of them soon reached a unified opinion, as a head and a principal official of the government, they looked at the powers differently, and the northwest had enough power. Protecting oneself is not fully showing one's strength to the world. But just by showing it, few countries dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head. In particular, after declaring war on Japan, the great powers saw the fierceness of the northwest, and in order to protect territorial integrity and national sovereignty, the northwest dared to declare war even in the face of any country.

The declaration of war, which seems to be just empty words, and asking diplomats to hand in war papers, may not have been a big deal in the past. The Empress Dowager Cixi, Lafayette, once declared war on the whole world, that in the eyes of the great powers, it is nothing at all, it is a madman to do this, it is completely unreasonable. However, the northwest is different, declaring war on Japan and beating Japan to the ground, which only mobilizes part of the forces. What if the Northwest goes all out?

All countries in the world are wary of the rise of the Northwest and want to get news of the Northwest, which is also the idea of the great powers after the national conference held in the Northwest. Diplomats and the media, who come to cover the news in a free manner, are no longer the northwest of the small forces they used to be. I really can't refuse, and there's no need to refuse. After all, the Northwest also has to show its strength. It is always hidden, and it is not easy to unite people's hearts.

After agreeing with Liu Shu, Yang Yuanzhao suddenly thought of something, since foreigners already knew about it, this national conference was not something to hide, so he simply was a little more generous, a little more open, and sent an invitation letter to the ambassadors of most powerful countries except Japan, inviting them and the media of various countries to participate, and even the other two major forces in China, Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party, also issued invitations without discrimination.

As for whether Beiyang and the revolutionary party will come, this is not within the scope of consideration in the northwest, the First Five-Year Plan is determined, the summary of 1913 and the new government work report, the northwest has gradually developed towards a political system, the European war has broken out, and the Japanese are about to start a war in Shandong, and the things that were worried before have almost disappeared most of them, and they were afraid of the development and preparation of the northwest affected by the war, and now more than 4 years of development, so that the northwest has enough background to deal with all crises, a non-unified China, It is not suitable for the future development of the Northwest, even if it is for the future to compete with the white Europeans, it is time for the Northwest to unify China, at least before entering the war, it must be a whole.

Even if it is during the Chinese New Year, it is nothing, anyway, this plenary meeting was held in March more than a month later, the great powers have already prepared, no need to notice, they have already come, the revolutionary party and Beiyang, as long as they want to come, it will definitely come, China's vertical and horizontal railway network, can allow people anywhere, in two or three days, to reach any place in China, as long as they want to come, there is no less.

After a brief discussion, the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs began to take action, and directly sent the invitation letters to the consulates of various countries in the northwest, although this is only a consulate, but everyone knows what is the most powerful person in China at present, the ambassadors of various countries, when there is not much to do, most of them will be stationed in Baotou, and rarely go to Beijing and Nanjing, as for the media of various countries, the dispatch agencies are mostly in Baotou, not in Beijing and Shanghai, although the transportation there is a little more developed.

The Spring Festival of 1914 seems to be particularly cold, Beijing was the former capital of China, where the Forbidden City is located, the root of the imperial city, compared with a few years ago, there are more different scenery here, honest city walls and towers, etc., still maintain the original style, but in other places, there is a little more modern scene. A large number of buildings of about 7 floors, more than a dozen buildings of more than 10 floors, so that Beijing has a few more modern feelings, on the wide road, from time to time to see all kinds of vehicles, are motor vehicles, carriages are very few, after all, the price of carriages is not low, as well as the cost of raising horses, cleaning, etc., there are cars where it is convenient, refueling can run, and the price is not expensive.

Cars and trucks made in the Northwest are world-class, at least two-thirds cheaper than imported cars, and the performance and speed are also good, even some ordinary businessmen will buy one, the price of 500 silver dollars, although it is still very expensive, but compared with the previous foreign brands, it is often two or three thousand, I don't know where it is better.

Beijing gradually has more cars, more cars, naturally, there will be accidents, congestion, the old-fashioned Beijing Hutongs, for the old-fashioned Beijing service, walking is spacious enough, the carriage sedan is also good, but the car is not good.

In this era, the most congested and densely populated is the northwest, and people continue to go to the northwest to learn from the experience, which directly promotes the emergence of traffic police, under the command of these traffic police, Beijing's traffic seems to be much better than before, and it looks good, and it is much smoother.

The plenary meeting of the Northwest is only in the Northwest, due to the intervention of the great powers, and also sent an invitation to the Revolutionary Party and Beiyang, no, because it was decided urgently during the New Year, and the diplomatic personnel in the Northwest were also very conscientious, and it took only two days to send the invitation letter on the third day of the Lunar New Year, but during the New Year, the entire Beiyang was suspended, and the high-level almost all stayed at home, except for some people who were on duty at home, and there was no one left, and it was not an important matter, and it was not held in March after more than a month. It wasn't until after the seventeenth day of the first lunar month that the things were in front of Yuan Shikai.

The small study of the Yuan family, this is where Yuan Shikai did things during this time, touched his bare head, his eyes narrowed, and asked, "It seems that this thing has been sent for a long time, what do you think?" ”

Those who can enter this study are all the top in Beiyang, Xu Shichang, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, Yang Du, all of them are high-level leaders in Beiyang, Yuan Shikai's elite generals and think tanks, as for Yuan Shikai's sons, they are not qualified to meet at this level.

Relative to history, Beiyang declined and decayed in its heyday, and now there is the tiger of the northwest sitting behind him, no one dares to take it lightly, even if he takes Beijing and abdicates the Qing emperor, he also maintains a lot of focus and care, God knows, when the northwest pounces up, whether it is a war against Russia or a war against Japan, the northwest has shown strong combat effectiveness, really pounced, everything is over.

Yuan Shikai's voice echoed in the entire small study: "Damn, what the hell is going on in this northwest, isn't it fighting with the Japanese in Shandong, the Japanese have made hundreds of thousands of troops, known as millions, and they are violent, he doesn't honestly fight in Shandong, what kind of plenary meeting, is there such a way to do it, and get the county orders of the whole country, and even small officials and the like, to Baotou, Baotou is very big, can accommodate so many people, but is it so meaningful, don't you delay your work?" ”

No one answered Yuan Shikai's words, Xu Shichang looked at the others, and then said boldly: "The Japanese contacted me, they want us to go out and deal with the northwest with them!" ”

"Japanese, what conditions are given!" Yuan Shikai's eyes lit up and asked, the Japanese and the Northwest are both the great enemies of Beiyang, especially the latter, which is simply a big trouble, and over the years, many arrangements in Beiyang have been prepared for the Northwest.

"Arms from 10 towns!" After Xu Shichang finished speaking, the other people in the room, except for Yang Du, were all bright-eyed, even if Beiyang has developed now and has an army of millions, but 10 towns is not a small number, and the hands of the Japanese are not small.

"It seems that the Japanese don't have much confidence either, let's give them a head, you say, what should we do!" Yuan Shikai glanced around and said.

They are all people in the army, they have been fighting for so many years, and they have more or less summed up some things, and they have dealt with the Japanese a lot, if the Japanese have confidence, how can they be so cheap in Beiyang, don't take a bite of Beiyang after destroying the Northwest at that time, such a thing, little Japan did it.

"Eat it first!" Duan Qirui followed and said, the others didn't speak, but the meaning in their eyes was the same, the arms of 10 towns, this thing is really a big fat meat, as long as it is a soldier, he is not unmoved.

Without waiting for Yuan Shikai to agree, a faint voice next to him suddenly interjected: "Dong Weng, I suggest you don't move!" (To be continued......)
