Jiang Fangzhen's resignation was fooled by Wang Maoru and finally failed to make the trip, and finally Kao continued to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the National Defense Force. Jiang Fangzhen had no idea how important his combination with Wang Maoru would be to the Wehrmacht, nor would he be at all aware of how much shock he would bring to the country if he left.

The Wehrmacht was created by Wang Maoru, but Jiang Fangzhen played a crucial role in the modernization of the Wehrmacht. As the president of the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, the president of the Army University, and the director of education of the imitation army (sponsored by Yuan Shikai), after Jiang Fangzhen defected to Wang Maoru, his students jumped from various armies to Wang Maoru's army. Another important reason why Wang Maoru was on the southern expedition was that the non-commissioned officer department represented by Jiang Fangzhen had a psychological impact on the local area. The teacher wants to unify China, and if the student blocks it, it is a double mistake in morality and etiquette.

Jiang Fangzhen didn't think so much because of his anger, but Wang Maoru thought that if Jiang Fangzhen insisted on resigning, for the unity and stability of the National Defense Force, Wang Maoru would even let him "sacrifice".

Chiang Fangzhen's contribution to the Wehrmacht was immense, and if he resigned, the Wehrmacht would likely fall into a split or even collapse.

Therefore, Wang Maoru actually prepared two plans in his heart, the first plan was to retain Jiang Fangzhen in various ways, so Jiang Fangzhen was a soft-hearted person and stayed after listening to Wang Maoru's words. The second plan Wang Maoru is premeditated in his heart, there is an assassination and then planted by others, this is a common word trick of the Kuomintang, a Jiang Fangzhen who died under the assassination of the enemy is a hero, Jiang Fangzhen has been perfected, and the national defense force has been perfected, and the unity of the country has been achieved, so Wang Maoru is absolutely unrelenting in this regard. Simply, Wang Maoru does not need to make a second painful choice, even though Wang Maoru thinks that he is an unscrupulous person for the sake of the end, but since Niu Delu committed suicide, Wang Maoru's feelings for his friends have become complicated. He is both nostalgic and ambitious, which makes him extremely conflicted when facing the betrayal of his friends.

After persuading Jiang Fangzhen, Wang Maoru met with many local gentry delegations within three days, although Wang Maoru did not participate in the presidential election, the 99 National Declaration made Wang Maoru's prestige skyrocket. After ten years of military government rule, although people hate the military government, they subconsciously believe that the rule of the military government is the real rule. Just like the people of later generations, they shouted that I wanted American-style democracy, but once I became an official, I thought about how similar this fake democracy that everyone listened to me was with the fake democracy of the Republic of China. Among these local delegations, Wang Maoru paid special attention to the representatives of the ethnic consortiums in various places, especially the representatives of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums, who hoped to expand the business scope of the Zhejiang consortium, and even more hoped that they would be able to do business in Mongolia and the Western Regions and develop various resources in the two places.

During the Republic of China, there were four major consortia in China: the Northeast Consortium, the North China Consortium, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium, and the South China Consortium.

The Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium is a concept of applying the Japanese chaebol, and the earliest prototype is the Ningbo merchant gang. The Ningbo Business Gang not only vigorously expanded the field of business activities, but also gradually expanded the members of the gang, and its contact objects were expanded from Ningbo to Zhejiang, Jiangsu and even Anhui. The success of the Ningbo Gang's operation and the expansion of its economic strength and social influence have made people look at it more and more differently, and some businessmen and capitalists outside Ningbo nationality are also very willing to establish and develop economic and other ties with the Ningbo Gang for their own purposes, and gradually become members of the Ningbo Gang who are not from Ningbo. With the rapid growth and accumulation of the wealth of the Ningbo Gang and the strength and experience of the group, at the end of the 19th century, it has developed into the most important economic force in Shanghai, and at the beginning of the 20th century, the Ningbo Gang evolved and expanded into the "Greater Ningbo Gang" - Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium.

The Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium, developed from the Ningbo Gang and centered on the Ningbo Gang, dominates Shanghai's Qianzhuang industry, major firms, most compradors and various brokers, most textile industry enterprises, major shipping companies, the most capital-powerful commercial banks, and even major trade organizations and social groups. Because the base of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium monopolizes Shanghai's economy in Shanghai, it is an important factor influencing and restricting Shanghai's political and economic life, and people sometimes refer to the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium as the Shanghai consortium.

At this time, Yu Qiaqing was leading more than 20 businessmen who talked about the consortium to talk to Wang Maoru about the development of the country's economy, and they knew that if they wanted to do business in the north, especially the raw material business, they absolutely could not do without the national defense army. A few years later, Sun Liwen died of illness, and Jiang Weiguang relied on the identity of a fellow villager in Zhejiang to obtain the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium, which achieved a hegemony.

Wang Maoru duly asked Zhang Yiwei to contact the business community and announce the mineral deposits across the country, hoping that the state-owned businessmen could contribute to the development of heavy industry. The Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium immediately responded to Wang Maoru's call, and took the lead in taking refuge in him when the wind of worship for Wang Maoru was blowing across the country, and Jiang Weiguang, director of the Transportation Department of the Logistics Headquarters of the Ministry of National Defense, did a lot of hard work in it, and also gave Yu Qiaqing and others a reassurance. He told Yu Qiaqing: "The investment object is not to see who is the president, but to see who controls the army, and the Republic of China is still decided by the military." Don't look at Xiu Shuai saying that the military and politics do not interfere with each other, but the current national defense force is unimaginably huge, even if Xiu Shuai does not want to interfere in politics, but he can't help but have the final say. If you wait a few years, Xiushuai just doesn't want to be president, and he has to be president. ”

Yu Qiaqing and others listened to Jiang Weiguang's advice before they decided to take refuge in Wang Maoru, and only after coming into contact with the Northeast Consortium did they know why Wang Maoru was able to unify China, because the Northeast Consortium mastered one of the most deadly skills, that is, monopoly. The monopoly of the financial industry, the monopoly of the tobacco industry, the monopoly of arms, the monopoly of the transportation industry, the monopoly of steel, the monopoly of all minerals, yes, the monopoly, only the monopoly is the most profitable. No matter how much the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium earns, the money you spend is all the RMB printed by the Huaxia National Bank, right?

After the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium decided to take refuge in Wang Maoru, Zhang Yiwei persuaded them to go to Mongolia and the Western Regions to mine mining, and now the Americans are building the railway from Kulun to Hulunbuir in Mongolia, and at the same time building the railway from Kulun to Shenyang, and the railway from Kulun to Dihua, the capital of Xinjiang, is about to be built, so Mongolia must be the most important center for strategic preparedness and heavy industry development in the future, and the Western Regions has always been Wang Maoru's top priority.

After learning of the wishes of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium, Wang Maoru said to Yu Qiaqing and others: "You Zhejiang people may not be powerful in war, but you Zhejiang people are definitely the best in business." I only hope that Zhejiang businessmen will abide by the Confucian ideology after becoming rich in the world. We Chinese have been influenced by Confucianism since childhood, and we should also abide by the principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness in business. The representatives of Chinese businessmen should be Confucian businessmen like you, who are deeply educated in traditional ideology, not speculative businessmen who are Westernized, barbaric, and predatory. ”

Wang Maoru is willing to support the Chinese National Foundation, and the Jewish Foundation is strong enough to influence the world economy, why is the Chinese Foundation not so influential? This is because the Chinese consortium relies on the support of the government, and when the new leadership takes office, the former consortium is uneasy -- they are too heavily influenced by the government, and they lose the freedom of the consortium. Wang Maoru hopes that the Chinese consortium can grow and become a consortium that influences the world pattern in the future, rather than being limited to China's "local rich people".

Subsequently, Wang Maoru opened the door for Zhejiang businessmen, and in addition to Zhejiang businessmen, Jin businessmen, and Hui businessmen, the South China consortium also took the opportunity to develop rapidly, but the North China consortium quickly declined. The North China Consortium was the family members of the Beiyang and Anhui military officers, such as the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant and the Luanxian Coal Mine, but with the change of power, the next government began to account for the state factories under the patronage of the previous one, and it was inevitable that these people would be held responsible. As a result, the North China consortium flourished the fastest, and it also declined the fastest.

After co-opting various Chinese conglomerates, Wang Maoru can be said to ask for money, money, guns, guns, and people, but only one title, and the three presidential candidates are also worried about this. Xu Shichang has felt the pressure recently, a little exhausted, and with his advanced age, he already has the mentality of retreating bravely. However, Meng Enyuan and Sun Liwen are bent on winning the presidential election and making history.

Therefore, the two of them are more cautious about Wang Maoru's attitude.

The next day, Sun Liwen visited Wang Maoru and asked Wang Maoru whether he would continue to support his presidency, Wang Maoru reassured him: "Liwen Gong don't worry, I, Wang Maoru, will do what I say, and when the election day comes, I will preach for the king - but Liwen Gong, there is a group of people standing behind me, why should Liwen Gong consider their interests?" ”

Then the two sides made a power deal, and if Wang Maoru's military supported Sun Liwen, Sun Liwen would give the military an explanation.

After private communication between the two sides, Wang Maoru reached an agreement that if Sun Liwen won the election, Tang Shaoyi, who was supported by the National Defense Forces, would be the first prime minister, and neither side objected to this. As for the 10 ministries of the State Council, Wang Maorujian increased the number to 20 ministries, so that the competition between the two sides was not so conspicuous. However, Sun Liwen smiled bitterly and said why bother, it was expanded to twenty at once, it is better to temporarily add two departments to test it first. After thinking about it, Wang Maoru expressed his approval. The ten ministries of the State Council are the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and the Ministry of Sports.
