The next day, Wang Maoru once again saw that the newspapers across the country were analyzing the gains and losses of the 2.7 million square kilometers of land reclaimed, and at this time, Wang Peng told him that an old man had come to visit, and Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang had come together. /\nbsp; Pen /\ Wang Maoru hurriedly dressed neatly, and invited the two to sit in the living room, Wang Maoru was a junior to perform the etiquette of the younger generation and invited the two to sit, but he did not lose his proportion. The two hurriedly did not take advantage of this respect, Wang Maoru insisted on this, Duan Qirui smiled and said that it would be hypocritical if he resigned again, so he should sit on the top seat first, and Xu Shichang sat down.

After the two of them sat down, Wang Maoru offered tea to the two seniors again, and the etiquette was full of rules, like a generalissimo of the national defense minister in charge of a million-dollar army, as if a junior student of the academy was respectful to the teacher. Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang looked at each other and smiled, if this Wang Mao can get to this point today, not to mention his personal ability, he does have some means to deal with the world, no wonder Yuan Shikai is very important. Duan Qirui took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, took out the old newspaper from a few days ago from his arms, and said with a smile: "Xiusheng has made a great contribution this time, and future generations should take you as an example."

Wang Maoru shook his head and smiled: "Xiusheng is a martial artist, and the credit is all in others."

Duan Qirui said: "Be modest, be modest, Xiusheng doesn't hear that the leader of the flock is more important than the lamb, but you are extremely beneficial to the country and the people this time."

Wang Maoru hurriedly laughed, and Xu Shichang said again: "This time, the two of us came to Beijing to ask for your help."

Wang Maoru hurriedly said: "The seniors are worried about what they are invited to, and the younger generations are duty-bound."

Xu Shichang said: "First, I came to prepare some funds for Henan University, second, to participate in the birthdays and condolences of several deceased people, and third, to come to you to congratulate."

Duan Qirui's personality was so fast, he asked directly: "It's just that the stables have been very chaotic in the past few days, marches, demonstrations, protests, what happened?"

Wang Maoru smiled slightly. He said with confidence: "It's nothing, it's just that the Kuomintang impeached me for privately establishing diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia and signing the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty, which caused dissatisfaction among other powers, so it led to a diplomatic conflict." Today, the four great powers of Britain, France, the United States, and Italy have sent an official note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asking for an explanation. ”

Duan Qirui had a hot temper, and slammed the table, and the tea spilled on the table. He was furious and said, "Too much deception, too much deception!" The great powers still wantonly ravaged our country like a mustard"

Xu Shichang sighed and said: "My country has a vast territory, but it has no combat power."

The lack of combat power was a slap in the face to Wang Maoru, as if he smiled awkwardly, and distinguished: "China just does not have a national war, and the National Defense Force has clashed with foreign countries several times. All of them are local conflicts, so the foreign powers cannot see the true strength of our defense forces. It is inevitable that they will look down on China now, after all, it has only been more than 20 years since the Gengzi Incident, and no one would think that in 20 years, a country will be able to change from a sick man in East Asia who is bullied by others to a warrior of strong national dignity. However, our generation needs to work harder because of this, and after the establishment of the Wehrmacht, the various garrisons have not been idle. Participate more in the work of suppressing bandits. The soldiers of the Wehrmacht are not trained, but fought. ”

Duan Qirui smiled: "That's right, you have to fight it, you have to fight it."

Xu Shichang said: "This move of the Kuomintang is really inappropriate."

Duan Qirui said angrily: "At the beginning, they were behind my Beiyang back, as if we had to sign a series of unequal treaties with Japan, if they were not pressed on everything and involved from time to time, President Yuan would not have discussed the "Twenty-one Articles" with Japan. I don't discuss the Twenty-One Articles. I, Beiyang, will not be accused of being a traitorous government. ”

Wang Maoru smiled and said: "The mistake at that time was that the speech was too free, and the Beiyang soldiers looked down on the literati to write, but they didn't know that the soldiers lived for a while, and the literati lived for a lifetime."

Xu Shichang asked, "How is the Japanese side?"

Wang Maoru said: "The Japanese government did not jump out to act as a prestige this time, and the opposition and revolutionary party in Japan were gradually suppressed. We are in a hurry to restore our national strength. Nowadays, trade between China and Japan is increasing day by day, and since the reunification of the Republic of China, the national strength has become stronger and stronger, and the people of the country have gradually become calmer. I don't hate Japanese products so much. As a result, the Japanese people need the Chinese market even more, which also makes the Japanese side extremely complicated in their attitude towards China. Japan was indeed brought in by the European and American powers -- and the Japanese government is now preparing to send troops to Kamchatka and Eastern Siberia. It is not enough to send troops to Kamchatka, but if they go to Eastern Siberia, they must get help from the Chinese Defense Forces. ”

Duan Qirui hurriedly walked to the side of the world map, looked up and down carefully, and said in surprise: "This is true"

"Seriously." Wang Maoru believed.

Duan Qirui's eyes widened, and he laughed and said, "Okay, okay, in this way, all countries will definitely pay attention here." It's just how Japan came up with the idea of going to the Far North Tundra, where ...... Not a single inch of grass grows. ”

Wang Maoru shrugged and smiled: "Who knows."

Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang looked at each other and laughed, this must be Wang Maoru's ghost again, but he didn't say it. Wang Maoru said again: "Speaking of which, I have some things to ask my seniors to help with."

"Tell me what else we can do to help this old bone." Xu Shichang said.

Wang Maoru said: "The Kuomintang launched the impeachment this time, Xiusheng really felt wronged, Xiusheng is a martial artist, and he should take it as his responsibility to protect the family and defend the country and open up the territory, but he does not have as many fancy intestines as literati. This time he was slandered as a traitor, which is really wronged, and I ask my seniors to help Xiusheng run to tell me and explain it to me. If I explain it myself, it's like I'm quibbling, but if my seniors help me, it will definitely be different. ”

Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang looked at each other and nodded, and Wang Maoru hurriedly thanked him.

After leaving Wang Maoru's mansion, Duan Qirui suddenly shouted: "It's called this hanging fox again." Xu Shichang laughed and said: "It seems that Xiusheng is not blindly confident, but takes it step by step. This impeachment of the Kuomintang is a risky move for him, and he must have a backhand. ”

"Big things are about to happen here, and he is still confident, and he must be confident." Duan Qirui said, and then smiled bitterly, "It's just that you and I are a hundred years old combined, but let him play around, and promised to help him win over the old gentry and win over their popularity, it's really ...... This little rabbit cub really lives up to the nickname of the nine-tailed fox. You crystal fox, but you haven't been able to fight the nine-tailed fox, it's not your dereliction of duty" Xu Shichang smiled bitterly again.

On February 28, the 12th year of the Republic of China, the Soviet Russian government made a decision to temporarily establish diplomatic relations with China with Amosiev Yetichyulin, who was in charge of negotiations in China, as the first Soviet Russian ambassador to China. On the same day, the Chinese Foreign Ministry also publicly stated that the Chinese Government had appointed Bi Guifang as the first Chinese ambassador to Soviet Russia and would immediately go to Moscow to formally establish diplomatic relations between the two sides. This move can be regarded as a formal battle against the notes sent to China by various countries, and it has also caused ambassadors of various countries to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs one after another to accuse China of ignoring the world situation and letting China wait and see.

However, Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang replied forcefully: "The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Soviet Russia is China's internal affair, so why should other countries agree that if China establishes diplomatic relations with other countries and needs the permission of other countries, then China will be renamed British China, French China, and American China."

Sir Maclet, the British ambassador to China, who had just arrived in China last year, sneered: "If a war breaks out because of this, China needs to bear all the responsibility."

Lu Zhengxiang was annoyed in his heart, but his expression was very confident and said: "If it triggers a world war, it will be another colonial war. The present Chinese government is not the Manchu government, and the ethnic minorities enslaved China at that time, but now it is a republic recognized by the people of the country, and the Chinese people have overthrown one slave owner, and no second slave owner will be allowed. ”

The ambassadors left in annoyance, and when the Japanese ambassador Kohata Yukichi came to the end, he nodded at Lu Zhengxiang and secretly extended a thumbs up. Lu Zhengxiang was strange in his heart, but Gu Weijun understood it and said quietly: "The Japanese are actually very friendly, they are ambitious, and Japan wants China to have another Gengzi battle." Now that China's unification has hindered Japan's development, Japan has no chance to invade Chinese mainland, and they can only rely on the eight-nation alliance to enter Beijing again. The Japanese gave us a thumbs up, but they didn't have any good intentions. ”

Lu Zhengxiang smiled slightly and said: "This little Japan, when you deal with them in the future, you will have to have one more heart."

Sure enough, Japanese Ambassador Yukichi Kohata then sent his secretary Uta Sanshiro to discuss a cooperation plan for the Fushun Iron and Steel Plant on behalf of Mitsubishi Industries, and was ready to invest in a coal mine in Taiyuan, China, in the hope of further deepening cooperation. This attitude is to imply that it does not matter how the Western countries act, that Japan will always curry favor with both sides, and that it will "never" fall into the ground, and of course, this "never" will also change with the changes of current events, and if the Eight-Nation Coalition forces march into Beijing again, Japan will become a vicious wolf that will rise up. However, investing in the coal mines in Taiyuan is a good thing, Shanxi's coal mining industry is backward, and the Jin merchants seem to be unable to see the huge profits brought by the coal mining industry for the time being and are keen on trade exchanges, and the coal mines in Shanxi are more small workshops and small landlords, and those large ore veins are enclosed by the national defense forces. The Japanese pike thrown into the base camp of the Jin merchants will prompt the Jin merchants to speed up the change of ideas, promote the transformation of the Jin merchants, and enable the backward Jin merchants to clearly see modern business.

Of course, Japan's small moves were not unseen by other foreign powers, but they had no way to interfere, and even the French ambassador secretly sent someone to the Chinese Foreign Ministry to say that as long as your Chinese political system remains unchanged, France will not interfere too much -- but you must also ensure France's interests.

This proves once again that there is only interest and no friendship in exchanges between countries. (To be continued.) Pass. For mobile phone users, please go to read
