"Scoundrel!" Carr, the British ambassador to China, said angrily.

After Meng Xiang's statement about the special office of the special zone was publicized, Carl angrily went to the central political axe. Lao Jiang avoided it, but he pushed He Yingqin out, and after playing Tai Chi for a long time, he finally pushed out all the legal self-defined privileges of the Special Administrative Region.

In a word, the central authorities have already delegated the legal power of the SAR and handed over this power to all the citizens of the SAR, and there is nothing they can do about this kind of referendum.

Lao Chiang also wanted to use this to open a gap, and to make a hole in the hardest British. The Yangtze River valley has always been a traditional force of the British, and now that they have invaded, there is still no big reaction. Suffice it to say that the British have little hope. Especially after the signing of the Munich Agreement, although Lao Chiang still shouted about the coordination of British and American international friends, he understood what was going on in his heart.

Now that the rise of the vanguard army has blocked part of the pressure of the devil, his words are not too sad.

The vanguard army has already stated that he, the central political axe, naturally cannot be soft.

On the third day of the trial, in a packed trial hall, Mei Rujiao's gavel fell in the protests of the British, and the two Britons were sentenced to five years in prison.

There were also appeals in the SAR and are still in the SAR but a month later the retrial was changed from 9 to 21 jurors.

As soon as the results of the trial were announced, the whole country was in an uproar. This was the first trial of the British, and the vanguard army was really sentenced under pressure.

"What a daring!" Lao Jiang touched his bald head again at this time and sighed. This kind of thing, he wished that the vanguard army would do it more thoroughly, one would knock a crack on the eggshell of the British, and the other would be the vanguard this time I was afraid that it would turn against the British.

The British also understood what the Chinese warlords meant, and most of their subsequent revenge was directed against the vanguard. The British have never taken action in person, and like to borrow a knife to kill people, either using him himself or using him, the central political axe. If the central political axe is used, some conditions can naturally be mentioned.

"Did you read the two Englishmen in the newspaper? Both of them had their heads drooping, and their noses were about to poke to the ground. "Passerby Jiadao" judged those two Westerners, what a relief! We have been in China for so many years, and we have always been bullied by foreign devils, this time, will they dare to jump around in the future? Passerby B also raised his voice.

The common people felt relieved, but Meng Xiang was more wary of the reaction of the British at this time.

"Negotiate what? What to talk about? I just caught them off guard, and I decided first, as long as I tore this layer of skin, some things would be easier to solve. The British must consider whether it is worth it or not in the given facts. If you procrastinate and hesitate, you can easily become a victim of other people's struggles. That's what Lao Xi does, and the effect has always been good. Meng Xiang said with a smile.

This time, Meng Xiang did not negotiate, nor did he negotiate, and he quickly cut through the chaos to an established fact, which was a slap in the face to the British.

"The British will certainly not be able to swallow this breath. They have a lot of domestic problems in the war, and they don't necessarily start a fight for this little thing, but small moves are inevitable. Zhou Bai said worriedly.

"We've dealt with it internally, and I'm afraid of any small moves from him. By the way, didn't Lao Jiang give us the privilege of self-determination of the law? In the future, you can justifiably experiment with new laws and regulations, and you are not afraid of anyone saying anything. ”

"Special Office of the Special Administrative Region!". Lao Jiang took an application for the establishment of a special zone and couldn't help but read it several times.

It seems that this special special office of the special zone has made the people below smell some opportunity, and immediately there are forces that will also hang the sign of the special zone to make special affairs.

"Annihilate the 100,000 Yue army, and I will make a special one for you." Lao Jiang directly asked people to pass this sentence to him at that time. Immediately leave the other person speechless.

In the past, the achievements of the vanguard army had already been publicized through the vanguard radio, and the total number of enemies destroyed had reached 100,000. When this figure was announced, some people questioned it, but then several documentaries shot by the Vanguard Army were pushed out in one go.

Meng Xiang is waiting for this time. Now that his foundation has been solidified, it is time to compete with Lao Jiang for talents and the hearts of the people. Including this trial of the British, it was an opportunity for the vanguard to show its strength.

These documentaries are almost a battle film, starting from Nanjing and continuing with the latest Pingjin Campaign.

The first Nanjing Massacre was the first to be released, and the real footage shocked people's hearts one by one.

"Is this true?" Li Mei asked as she kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.

"It's documentary, it's all real." Han Leilei gently tightened Li Mei, who was sobbing in his arms, and said in a deep voice, his eyes were red, and his cuffs were still stained with tears.

"Will I come to fight the Shanghai Concession?" Li Mei couldn't help but raise her head and asked.

"It's a place for the British, they won't." Han Leilei thought of the news that the Briton had been sentenced by the vanguard army the day before yesterday, and hesitated for a moment to comfort him.

"Kill the little devils, these people who have suffered a thousand cuts."

"Down with imperialism!"

"Long live the Vanguard!"

While watching the movie, some people couldn't help but shout. When the bridge of miracles at the end of the film fades into the night, someone shouts slogans.

It was only an abridged version, but it was still shown for an hour and a half. The edited version of the real Nanjing Massacre is divided into three parts. But at this time, the first focus was on propaganda about the Vanguard Army, so only an abridged version was screened.

The battles to defend the Yellow River and Jinan, a series of battles in the Battle of Xuzhou, and a series of battles to recover the lost land were broadcast one after another. The plot of fighting devils made everyone enthusiastic, and the slogans of shouting long live the vanguard army were one after another, and there was an endless stream.

Meng Xiang didn't expect to make money at all at first, and originally planned to go to various places to show the projectors produced by the base. It's just that it's winter at this time, and few people can stand the open-air screening. And the film is also limited, even if there are already a large number of copies, it will not solve the problem, and too many copies will only be wasted. You can only start with the major theaters in the city.

But I didn't expect it to spread among the people, and the people of the country rushed to see it, and the major theaters were full. The box office is also rising, which surprised Meng Xiang.

The news of the Pioneer Army continued to spread, but the popularity of the Pioneer Army increased greatly. Especially after the vanguard army conquered Beiping, the pattern of dominating the north has emerged. More people came to look for opportunities.

There are so many more opportunities here. Except for the confrontation around Tianjin, the others have settled down. The clouds of war have temporarily dissipated, and what is needed next is to build and protect.

"A lot of people have come to ask, are we going to implement the subsistence allowance policy in all the occupied areas?" Zhou Bai specially ran to ask Meng Xiangdao.

"The subsistence allowance will continue to be implemented!" Meng Xiang said categorically.

"The funding gap is too great. The various types of property we have seized can last for a year, but what about after that? And we also need to invest in all kinds of infrastructure construction and support all kinds of industrial and commercial development, so that the funding gap is large. Zhou Bai said with some concern.

Although the funds are not tight now, if Meng Xiang's secret special account is cut off in the future, how can he deal with it. Unless it is a long-term guarantee for 10 years, various industries in the base area will be supported. Only when the economy has formed a good cycle can it be supported by a steady stream of tax revenue.

"Don't worry! There will be no shortage of special funds within five years. Within five years, we will be able to lay a good foundation for the economy of the base areas! Meng Xiang seemed more confident. Although the current population has suddenly increased to 80 million, the area of arable land has also increased. Although the specific data has not yet come out, it is enough to cope with the arms sales that Meng Xiang is constantly trading.

He had enough money to cover two years. And in the next step, a Yamato battleship can be sold to cover a year's expenses.

"Five years?" Zhou Bai didn't expect Meng Xiang's tone to be so big. Five years is only a recovery period in his plan, and the last five years are a development period.

Meng Xiang saw Zhou Bai's hesitation, thought of the ten-year plan he proposed to himself, and couldn't help laughing: "It's five years!" Let's also come up with a five-year plan and a ten-year plan. But first, we have to figure out the administrative structure and straighten it out. ”

"It's easy to do! There's only one thing that's harder! Where will we be in the administrative center in the future? Qidu or Beiping? Zhou Bai asked with a smile.

"What do you think?" Meng Xiang wanted to listen to the opinions of the audience more about this kind of thing, so another SAR Standing Committee started again.

"For the time being, it should be Qidu, keep it the same!" Li Shuchun said, "At this time, the war is undecided, and the relocation of the administrative center involves many affairs. After a period of time, he moved to Beiping. Once relocated, the core of the development of the SEZ will inevitably follow, and I am afraid that some of the development of the SEZ will slow down or even come to an abrupt end. He hopes to stay for a while longer and lay a solid foundation for the SAR.

"It's better to move late than early. The traffic in Beiping extends in all directions, while the traffic in Qidu has only one Jiaoji line. The economic foundation of Beiping is also more solid than that of Qidu. The territory of Qidu has been stabilized, and under proper supervision, it can develop steadily on its own. There are many things that need to be dealt with in the area of Heyan and Beijing, so it is convenient to deal with them nearby. "In the planning map that Zhou Bai has planned, it is to expand outward with Beiping. If you move to Beiping, the development can drive the whole of North China, or even the whole of the north.

"Education in the Special Zone is just starting to get on track, and the new universities have not yet been fully built. If it changes, it's a pity. He Siyuan also felt a little regretful. However, the administrative center of China is generally the center of culture and thought, and the center of scholarship. Once they move to Beiping, a large number of talented people who are stranded in the Special Administrative Region will inevitably go to Beiping to look for opportunities to climb the ladder. Originally, the collection of thought and scholarship in the Jixia School Palace showed a thriving scene, and I am afraid that it will fall apart all of a sudden.

"The pressure on the north is greater, and the central army in the south has shared part of it, so if we look at it in the long run, we should choose Beiping." Fan Chong didn't say much, Meng Xiang and he discussed the direction of the attack a few times, and it seemed that there were more in the north. The next step to maintain stability is also to focus on Hebei and other places, after all, the special zone at this time has gone through a series of measures, and it is already impregnable.

The other Niu Yi and the others were all in line with Meng Xiang's idea, and Meng Xiang also had an idea.

However, such a thing is not decided all at once, and it takes a few people to go back and sort it out and think about it again, and finally make a decision.

"The capital of Beiping for several generations, the king lives there! According to this order, the world returns to the heart! After the old Tang, who had never expressed his opinions on the Standing Committee, dismissed the meeting, he found Meng Xiang and said.

"I know!" Meng Xiang said with a smile. It's not that he takes a fancy to this land of kings, mainly because the name here is easier to attract talents to come to the Ming Lord. Some of those who hesitated between the vanguard army and Lao Chiang have loosened a little. A series of policies within the Vanguard SAR have shown that they are more than just a local warlord. If such a policy were to be extended to all occupied areas, I am afraid that the general situation would have already been achieved.

Not only that, in Meng Xiang's future plan, because of the existence of the central political axe, the geographical conditions in the south are not suitable for the assault of mobile armored forces, so the vanguard army is suitable to solve the problems in the north first. In the future, facing Soviet Russia and the Kwantung Army, there will be more problems in the north, and there is no doubt that Beiping, which has always been the center of the north, is more suitable for the role of administrative center.

"Xiaohua, how long will it take to move the main base!" Meng Xiang couldn't help but ask Xiaohua again to prevent any omissions.

"Non-emergency, requires a seven-day adjustment period!" Xiaohua said that the emergency she said was that the original main base was destroyed, and the original main base was replaced by a new sub-base. But in that case, Xiaohua's program will inevitably be missing and incomplete. If you don't even have time to transfer the core program, I'm afraid that Xiaohua will disappear. The only way to do this is to regenerate a new master intelligence.

"Nothing else but after spending two million, right?"

"No other conditions for the time being!" Xiaohua said lightly.

Meng Xiang listened to it for the time being, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. He thought that Xiaohua had been mutated by the influence of the space-time machine, and there were too many uncertainties. He couldn't help but be worried. If there is an accident, his biggest reliance will be gone. This is also the reason why he had already made up his mind to move to Beiping, but he did not move for a long time.

Besides, Tianjin has not yet been captured, and it is too early to talk about relocation at this time.

But less than a day later, there was news in Tianjin.

The devils in Tianjin have withdrawn!

"Will the devil evacuate on his own initiative?" Meng Xiang felt a little surprised, in his memory, he said that he rarely took the initiative to evacuate, and the fat he bit was not relaxed. Even Liaodong after the Russo-Russian War was due to 30 million taels of silver and the interference of foreign forces.

"It's a shame on us, one day, we'll be back!" Shouichi Terauchi shouted, but his heart was desolate. I'll never get a chance to come back. After returning home, he is about to leave office. His political career was over, unless another miracle happened.

There are more than 40,000 people in Tianjin, and there is still a lot of strength. But the domestic order made him stop his plan to fight to the death in Tianjin. He couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Kenji Dohihara that day.

"Now the vanguard army surrounding Tianjin is four divisions, more than 100,000 people. Tianjin Shou can't hold it unless it is broken. Otherwise, the loss of Shijiazhuang is an example, and the vanguard army is very good at attacking cities. It can be seen from the trial time a few days ago that the attitude of the vanguard army towards Britain and France is not as tolerant as that of the political axe of China, and even with the warning of Britain and France and other countries, they may have to attack Tianjin. Kenji Tsuchihara analyzed.

"We are guarding Tianjin, but the passage of the sea route is about to be cut off by the ships of the Pioneer Army. How to defend for a long time? ”

"We have the determination and courage to die, and we vow to make the vanguard hate this place." Shouichi Terauchi still said toughly.

"After the attitude of Soviet Russia eased, it suddenly became tough again. They had reinforcements through the vast expanse of Siberia and then sent them over, and the situation in Mongolia was tense again. The Kanto region needs more soldiers, and the country can't draw more manpower. Kenji Tsuchihara worried.

This was not Meng Xiang's request, but the Soviet Russians saw the benefits. He said that after his strength in Heyan and Jingjin was swept away, the pressure on Soviet Russia in the future would be greatly eased. When they saw that the vanguard army had conquered Beiping, Soviet Russia, realizing the excellent opportunity, further suppressed Yue himself, and his relaxed attitude became tougher with the arrival of reinforcements. If their own strength is weak, they don't mind fighting in winter, and the puppet Manchurians have a lot of grain to survive the winter.

"The attitude of the British and the French is ambiguous. But the British intended to let Chiang Zheng axe of China to take over Tianjin. And we need a bait from Tianjin, so that the Central Army and the Vanguard Army can compete and deepen their contradictions, so as to facilitate our subsequent series of plans. Kenji Tsuchihara looked up and said confidently.

"I'm still the same greed!" Meng Xiang sighed and said, the new news has been received, saying that he has packaged and sold all kinds of assets in Tianjin to British and French businessmen in various concessions at a low price, and some Chinese people in the concessions have also taken advantage of this to make a big profit. If the vanguard army enters, I'm afraid they will have to accept an empty shell.

"We also want empty shells, and we are ready to go in and receive them." Meng Xiang ordered.

But then someone reported that someone from the Central Army had already received it there, and the vanguard army was forbidden to enter.

"Sure enough, when we got here, someone came to pick the fruit." Meng Xiang snorted coldly, these situations have already been analyzed, although there are too many things involved behind it, and he has to consider it carefully, but he has already made a decision in his heart.

"It's our credit to rush in, and no one can take it away. Let's take Tianjin first. He commanded categorically.
