This greedy merit is really too big, and no one can snatch it away from their own hands. In fact, Wang Maoru himself did not realize that his thoughts and behaviors had slowly changed from the thoughts of a simple patriot to the ideas of a cunning politician. If a few years ago, when he recovered the China Eastern Railway and went to Europe to participate in the war, he still had the will to die for the country, but now he is thinking more about his personal political interests and how to increase his personal interests while fighting for national interests. But in fact, simple patriots are often the easiest to become traitors, and the May Fourth youths who burned Zhao's house in history eventually became lackeys of the Japanese, and the scolded Beiyang officials would rather starve to death than be Japanese officials.

Wang Maoru was very eager to announce the reconquest, but even if the powerful hegemons of later generations such as the United States had effectively controlled the entire Mexican Republic, they did not dare to openly declare the occupation of a sovereign state. What are the consequences if it is openly announced? After two days and two nights of research by the think tank, we still couldn't find a perfect result.

To declare or not to declare, this is a question, and the blatant reconquest of territory, unless it has great strength, is an aggression, a provocation to the world. In the tide of the world's call for peace at the end of the European war, if China wants to rise, it must be tough, but if it is tough, it will inevitably violate the rules set by the great powers.

China is torn between a rock and a hard place.

The great powers could not allow China to rise lightly, and even China's reunification had already attracted the attention of the world powers. However, at this time, they all invariably fell into the post-war economic crisis and the workers' movement, especially in Japan and the United States, and the domestic workers' armed forces even fought guerrilla warfare against government troops. Japan's rice commotion. It even set Japan's economy back by two years, and after the economic policies of European and American countries in the later stage of the European War and the Anglo-Japanese conflict, the economic liquidation of the Japanese by the white race caused Japan's economy to decline significantly, and even returned to the level before the European War.

But if the reconquest of territory is announced, what will be the explanation for the Gengzi Rebellion in the territory occupied by China and the other powers that occupied the concessions? Even if the Chinese side says that it is simply acting against Russia, can other countries believe it? An act of reconquista of a vast ancient kingdom with 440,000,000 people. Will this ancient country rebuild its mentality? From another point of view, China, as a great power, will not allow a country of its own to rise, and will try to defeat this country by all means.

After dealing with several official duties. Wang Maoru asked Jiang Fangzhen to deal with the unimportant dealings, because at this time, it was more important for him to announce the recovery of the territory than some small things in any army. Even Pu Ding, the director of the officer department, sent an application for the commander of the Phoenix Legion to replace the chief of war, and Wang Maoru just looked at the list. Former military minister Zhang Xueliang was recuperating from illness. The new military chief was Tao Zhiyong, who was born in the Lu Department of the Northeast Army, and he approved the application and returned it to Puding. Wang Maoru then convened a meeting of his staff and think tanks to study the issue of announcing the reconquest of territory, which was most important to him.

As smoke filled the conference room of the Ministry of National Defense Headquarters, Wang Maoru had three or four young staff officers form eight groups, each representing a country, while the rest of the General Staff representing China. When China announced its move to regain its territory, how other world powers reacted and responded. The young people's minds were extremely active, and eight groups of young people quickly entered the role. Engaged in verbal confrontations with Jiang Fangzhen, Yong Xingbao and other elders of the staff, and used various methods to combat China's rise.

Talking about the end. Angry that Dai Zhangxun, director of the Operations Department, was so angry that he wanted to stretch out his fist and beat people, Wang Maoru hurriedly persuaded him: "Our young people are active in thinking, but we have to think that our real opponents are actually a hundred times more cunning than them, and even they can't compete, so what can we talk about rising?" ”

Dai Zhangxun hurriedly apologized to these staff officers, several of whom aroused Wang Maoru's idea, and many of them were officers selected by local troops to enter the staff headquarters for training. Among them, He Yingqin, a staff officer from the Guizhou Army, Bai Chongxi, a young staff officer from the Gui family, Sun Lianzhong, who was directly from the Gui family, Ye Xun, who was born in the Kuomintang, and Wu Sanshi, Long Yinglai, Yuan Lingshan, Zou Huaqin, Zhang Zilong, and other young staff officers who graduated from the Yakeshi Army Noncommissioned Officer Academy. Wang Maoru was overjoyed to learn that He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were also among them, even though these two people were criticized for their behavior, their abilities were indeed recognized by all walks of life.

However, Wang Maoru's joy at discovering talent was soon plagued by the problem of not being able to consolidate the territory he had recovered, and the land he occupied could not be recognized, and the world powers would certainly use this as an excuse to impose sanctions and strikes against China in the future. How to ensure that the occupation can be held and held is the problem.

Tsarist Russia, which Wang Maoru had always thought was in his hands, uncharacteristically chose another self-inflicted method of injuring the enemy by injuring 1,000 and self-inflicting 800, and gave Wang Maoru a heavy right hook. Even if he was as smart as Wang Maoru, he couldn't find a satisfactory way for a while, and he almost fainted with a headache when he thought about it.

In the end, Wang Maoru said to Jiang Fangzhen and others: "Don't think about it for the time being, just rest for a day like this, I know that everyone is too tired to do it in the past two days, and I will also go home to rest and rest." After the generals said goodbye, Wang Maoru returned home by car and slept beautifully. When he awoke, she was startled to see a pretty girl lying on his bedside staring at him with wide eyes.

"Little Wu, why are you here?" Wang Maoru said, touched his face, oily, it seemed that he had slept for a long time, and laughed at himself: "I'm old, I'm old, I'm sleeping like this, my face is greasy." Li Ziqi, go get a basin of water, I'll wash my face. ”

The guard Li Ziqi was about to get a wash water, but Zhu Meiyun hurriedly grabbed it and said, "I'll come, you go to the side." After that, he threw a towel in the basin, blaming that the temperature of the water was too high, so he handed it to Wang Maoru, and said softly and gently: "Brother-in-law, wipe your face." Li Ziqi's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it, this little grandmother was so gentle today, did she take the wrong medicine, and hurriedly retreated to the side and lowered her head and held the washbasin.

Wang Maoru took the towel and wiped his face briefly, then stared at Zhu Meiyun and said, "Say, Xiao Wu, what conspiracy do you have?" Come on, don't go around in circles with me. ”

Zhu Meiyun grinned and said, "I can't hide it from you, brother-in-law." ”

"Imp." Wang Maoru knocked on her brain.

Zhu Meiyun said: "Do you know that a major event has happened in the Beijing City Gongzi Circle in the past few days? ”

"Childe Circle?" Wang Maoru said that it was the first time he heard this circle, "What is it?" Who are they? ”

"You don't even know about the child's circle?" Zhu Meiyun pouted and said, "Brother-in-law, how did you catch up with my sister in the first place?" How did you catch up with Miss Tang? ”

"What does this have to do with them?" Wang Maoru said funny.

Zhu Meiyun was about to make a tirade and was very excited to pat the bed case, but she didn't expect to slap on the side of the washbasin on the stool next to the bed, and the washbasin was knocked over by her with a bang, Li Ziqi hurriedly ran in, and saw Zhu Meiyun looking at his "masterpiece" with a blushing face and sneered: "This...... That one...... Mistakes, pure mistakes. Li Ziqi hurriedly packed up and walked out, met Feng Yinbin at the door, and saluted: "Hello adjutant." ”

Feng Yinbin pointed inside and asked, "Who is there?" ”

"Miss Zhu Wu." Li Ziqi said truthfully.

Feng Yinbin nodded, stood aside and smoked, glanced at Xiushuai's room, and said nothing.

And in the room, Zhu Meiyun suddenly remembered that her hand had just smashed the washbasin, which was a heavy copper washbasin, and then she remembered the pain, she hurriedly covered her hand and howled, Wang Maoru smiled bitterly: "Does it hurt so much, and it is still a backlash?" As for such an exaggeration? ”

"The relationship is good, it's not hurt on you, you naturally don't feel pain." Zhu Meiyun complained with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, you go on, I have limited time, I'm going to the War Department later." Wang Maoru reminded her.

Zhu Meiyun hurriedly sat down and said: "The so-called son-in-law circle, as the name suggests, is a circle composed of the sons of these officials who are officials in Beijing, and now the most famous in the son-in-law circle is Meng Enyuan's eldest son Meng Qingchang and second son Meng Qinghu. However, Meng Qingchang is shrewd and has a very good set, and the top brands in Beijing's eight major alleys all praise the good of Meng Gongzi. ”

Wang Maoru nodded and said with a smile: "These two people are not successful, Meng Enyuan has never counted on them, Meng Enyuan's success depends on his two nephews, Gao Shibin and Gao Fengcheng." ”

Zhu Meiyun said: "I don't know these two people, by the way, in addition to the people of the old Meng family, there is another person in this son's circle who can't help but say, a new son-in-law brother has arrived, and he was praised by everyone as soon as he arrived in Beijing, which made the Meng brothers unconvinced." ”

"Who?"

"Sun Ke, Sun Liwen's son." Zhu Meiyun said, "This little Guangdong is not simple, and he has also been the mayor of Guangzhou, of course, everyone knows that he must be the mayor because of Lao Tzu, and now he has come to Beijing to help his father publicize." The fathers of these two groups of people are competing, and the two groups of people are also comparing in the circle of sons, which is really exciting. ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "If this is the case, then Sun Ke will have some playthings out of his mind, and what can he do if he fights with these gentlemen." ”

Zhu Meiyun said: "However, it's not them who are the hottest now, guess who?" ”

"Who?"

"Zhang Xueliang Zhang, the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the Phoenix Legion, Zhang Dagongzi, is a serious general of eight hundred, can those two sons compare?" Zhu Meiyun said, "So as soon as Zhang Xueliang came to Beijing, immediately the people in the son's circle surrounded him, and now he is very coquettish." (To be continued.) )
