Since his arrest, Wang Jitong's housekeeping work has been taken over by Yang Rui, although he has been followed to Europe by Manchu detectives when he was released from prison, but when he wanted to return to Shanghai, he was arranged by Yang Rui in research and development affairs, on the grounds that Zhong Guanguan was unwell and needed his assistance to help, but this arrangement was not told to him at the beginning, but after he stayed in Germany for a period of time and asked Yang Rui how he arranged it, he was so instructed.

In addition to the conference, military affairs, and commerce, the R&D system is also gradually getting bigger and bigger, and there were only radio real rooms, daily chemical real rooms, battery real rooms, metallurgical real rooms, electrolytic real rooms, and internal combustion engine real rooms, but now they have added optical real rooms, petrochemical and coal chemical real rooms, electric power real rooms, magnetic real rooms, sensor real rooms, polymer real rooms, atomic real rooms, and refrigeration real roomsThere are dozens or hundreds of people in these real rooms, and there are more than a dozen people, all of which are key secret units, mainly distributed in Germany, the United States, Shanghai and Tonghua. Because the most developed place in science and technology is in Europe, the establishment of the German real yàn room is the largest, and fortunately, there are students in Tongji University and many international students in Germany, so many real yàn rooms can be supported.

The R&D management work was handed over to Zhong Guanguan, Wang Jitong and Xu Huafeng, the business work was handed over to Yu Zixun and Yu Huizu, and the conference affairs and military affairs were taken care of by Yang Rui, Zhang Taiyan and Xie Zhangtai, but Xie Zhangtai himself can be regarded as half a committee member, because he joined late, so he has been in charge of diplomacy, and Zhang Taiyan is dedicated to studying the theory of national quintessence, and many times he does not ask about the world. Not to mention the checks and balances on Yang Rui, even if he approves the slips and gives money, he often makes mistakes, after all, he is not clear about the specific work. That being the case. The conference affairs and military affairs all fell into Yang Rui's hands.

Before the incident in Hangzhou, Wang Jitong was worried that the Zhejiang people would have an advantage in the revival meeting, which would lead to an internal imbalance, so he strongly supported Yang Rui to marry Cheng Ying, but since Yang Rui and Cheng Ying got married. He found that many overseas Chinese had been arranged to attend training classes or had gone to study in other countries, and few of them had entered military academies, and most of them were engaged in business or politics. In this way, Yang Rui wants to borrow these overseas Chinese to build his own team. Although the research and development side will still be in the hands of Xu Huafeng and him in the future, the business affairs of the Zhejiang side will be slowly transferred to these overseas Chinese, plus Yang Rui's own superior military affairs. Then after the success of the revolution, he will grasp the affairs of the conference, politics (business), and military affairs together. The seven-member committee of the Revival Society has a check-and-hold mechanism. But when the backbone personnel below are all Yang Rui's people, then the committee will have no way to take Yang Rui even if it is six to one, and the people below must obey Yang Rui's orders instead of obeying the orders of the committee.

Although Wang Jitong has never sat in an official, let alone studied Western law at the Grand Law School in New York City like Yu Zixun, he was born in an official family, and the checks and balances of power are well known. Once Yang Rui is a person in the meeting, politics, and military, then he will be one step closer to Napoleon and one step farther away from Washington. Is Napoleon bad? Wang Jitong didn't think Napoleon was bad. Instead, I think he's a hero, he's short. But Washington is the real dwarf. It's just that Napoleon's greatness lies in himself, and Washington's greatness lies in the country itself. If it is said that because of the external expansion of the French Revolution, other European countries formed an anti-French alliance and fought many wars with France, then the patriotism preached by the Revival Society and the research projects in the current real room can completely prove that Yang Rui has actually been preparing for a war.

Wang Jitong is the manager of the real room, according to the research task list, compared with the earlier real rooms, the real room established in the later period mainly studies military technology, such as jet engine blade metallurgy, infrared sensors, laser rangecontrollers, magnetrons and picture tubes, and the most terrible thing is some kind of earth-destroying bomb in the atomic real room, these things are not used to govern the country, but mostly used for war. After the success of the revolution, China's most important thing is to recuperate and work hard, rather than pro-army and militarism, feeling Yang Rui's plan, Wang Jitong is extremely uneasy about Yang Rui, madness can make the country rise, but it will ruin the country, Wang Jitong would rather Yang Rui be as short as Washington, than China like France to start a series of wars after the revolution. With such thoughts, after persuading Zhong Guanguan, he came to New York in the name of managing the American real room, and after talking with Yu Zixun, he wanted to do Yu Huizu's work, but Yu Huizu was too old after all, and he was a scholar, and he couldn't accept the separation of powers in the Western Republic, and he didn't know much about China's extremely ancient and dark balancing technique, and the plan to win the support of commerce was in vain.

In the quiet study, when Wang Jitong finished saying "it can't be done", Yu Zixun, who was very helpless, asked: "Xiao Xu, how can we be good?" Shouldn't I go to Berlin and have a good talk with him? ”

"I can't grasp Xian's thoughts." Thinking that Zhong Guanguan didn't say a word in that conversation, Wang Jitong didn't have a bottom at all. "At that time, I could say anything, and even more clearly said that this was not a struggle for power and profit, and promised that if everyone would restrain Jingcheng together and only let him take care of military affairs, then I would rather go to the temple to become a monk than come out to be an official, and I don't care about any affairs in the association. But he just didn't react, and only told me that he knew. ”

"Hey! Xian Feng is this temper, he is quick to make decisions in small matters, and he is very hesitant in big things, even if he thinks things are right, he will only make up his mind if he burns his eyebrows. "Yu Zixun just listened to it, he and Zhong Guanguan are fellow villagers, and they know his character very well, but they only think that Zhong Guanguan is an old problem." Ay! Our strength is still too small, and the widow is still in prison, if he can come out safely, then things will be easy. ”

Yu Zixun mentioned Cai Yuanpei, Wang Ji thought about it and just shook his head, in the end, there are two principals of the Revival Society, one is the principal of the Patriotic Society, this is the people, with many students to drop out of Nanyang Public School, which is very popular, and then the principal of the South African Military Academy and the Shanghai training class is Jingcheng, who led everyone to carry out the revolution and build the Revival Association from scratch, with outstanding prestige. Several other people like him, Zixun, and Uncle Mei were just gentlemen of the Patriotic Society. If you want to check and balance, you can do it. The poor are the best candidates. It's just that he is now in prison in the capital, although he is exempt from capital crimes, but who knows what will happen later. Once the Fuxing Society came to the capital when the uprising was in full swing, it was not known whether the Manchus would kill him and sacrifice the banner.

"For today's plan, we still have to find a way from two aspects." Wang Ji thought about all kinds of things in his heart, and then came back and said, "First, when the committee meets next time, I will propose to set up a special working group to rescue the people. Not to mention that the people can be rescued, but at least they must be safe. ”

Only the people can check and balance, this is the consensus of Wang Jitong and Yu Zixun. Yu Zixun nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay!" I can mention this matter and urge the association to organize a rescue team. ”

"No, you have other things. Mention yì or I'll come. Wang Jitong said: "Another thing. You can only count on that little child, you are based in New York, and you can be close to him more. ”

Seeing Wang Jitong talking about Zhu Kuansu, Yu Zixun said: "Those eunuchs and palace maids from North Korea are teaching him, and I will go to see him from time to time. ”

"Did you scare him?" Wang Jitong also met Zhu Kuanji. But I don't know about Yang Rui and this child.

"Yes. At that time, he kept clamoring to go home to see his parents, and we couldn't persuade him. He was so frightened that he was disobedient and threw him into the sea to feed the fish, and he was startled to learn from those eunuchs and palace maids. Yu Zixun has always been friendly to this real nobleman of the former Ming clan, but he couldn't imagine that Yang Rui just used him as a pawn, which surprised him.

"Oh......" Wang Jitong couldn't think of such a thing, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Zhu Kuansu is the second lock, in case of misfortune to the people, he is the only one who can check and balance, but to do this, he must have extraordinary prestige." ”

Yu Zixun was a little unclear and said, "What is prestige? ”

"When the revolution succeeds, we will turn Zhu Kuansu out of the corner, then he has no prestige, and he has no credit for the revolution, just sit back and enjoy the results. So we have to change the plan, and it is best to put the entire revival association under his name......" After Wang Jitong finished saying this, he only saw Yu Zixun's surprised face, and then said in detail: "That is, the entire revolution of the Revival Society was supported and planned by him, and the Revival Society was founded according to his will, and the Revival Society was able to have so much money to support the revolution, that is, because he used the treasures left by his ancestors......"

The more Wang Jitong said that Yu Zixun was more frightened, this was completely to let that Zhu Kuansu wipe out all the merits of the Fuxing Association, no, Yang Rui's achievements, he didn't wait for Wang Jitong to finish speaking, and then interrupted: "Such propaganda, it will definitely not agree, and besides, how can the members of the Fuxing Association explain?" They now think that they are the leader, but how do they know that there is a king of Min behind them, how do you let everyone accept it? ”

Yu Zixun only felt a pain in his head as he spoke, this was a complete subversion of the revolutionary history of the Fuxing Society, and it was difficult for him to accept this in his heart. Wang Jitong looked at him indifferently, and said after a while: "Only if there is a leader behind the leader, then the current leader will not be deified, and he can be famous, but not power, and can have power, but not fame." Otherwise, the whole country will go crazy. The revival association can be founded by Jingcheng, and the revolution is also done by him with everyone, but this qiē must be said to have the support of Zhu Kuansu, and only in this way can Zhu Kuansu have a prestige no less than that of Jingcheng. ”

"But I paid for Zhu Kuanji's meal, how could he contribute to the revolution?" Yu Zixun still couldn't accept an inexplicable credit grabbing in his heart, and he still said angrily after walking a few steps in the room.

"Have you forgotten the Indian stuff? In addition, there are more than 20 tons of gemstones, and now that the British are tracking down all over the world, this batch of things will not be able to be sold even if they are remelted. The best thing to do now is to say that these things are left over from the former Ming imperial family, and when the revolution comes, we will pretend to dig them up from the city of Nanjing. With these things, before the revolution, it was said that the source of funds for the Revival Society was provided by the former Ming Imperial Family, and not many people doubted it. This not only found an explanation for the source of these things, but also improved Zhu Kuanji's prestige, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Wang Ji said.

Hearing Wang Jitong's words, Yu Zixun calmed down slightly and said, "Xiao Xu, if you want to re-establish the imperial power, aren't you afraid that someone with a heart will put Zhu Kuansu back on the throne?" ”

"Nope. No matter how high Zhu Kuanji's reputation is, it is impossible for him to ascend the throne. It's even less likely to be in power, just as we planned in the past. I just want him to have a great reputation, so that the world can be said to be built with everyone. But it can also be said that His Royal Highness King Min supported the Revival Society, and then conquered the world. In the future, he will have great power, but no matter how powerful he is, he can't be more prestigious than King Min, so even if he has any thoughts, there will definitely be a concern. "Wang Ji is the same way." In addition, the South African army was actually classified as the Praetorian Guard, and all the political commissars in it would be abolished in the future. Or someone who is not part of the Baath Army system will take over, and he will not be able to follow the orders of the actual and become a real Praetorian Guard. ”

"This ...... And that is the order that the Janissaries have heard? Wang Jitong thought about it very carefully, and Yu Zixun really couldn't think of how to arrange this army.

"Listen to Congress." Wang Jitong said: "Or the parliament." This army was only responsible for the security of the parliament as well as the royal family. Not obeying the orders of the General Staff under the Military Council. In the future, the capital will be its defense area, if the military council is to be detrimental to the parliament or the royal family, there are at least tens of thousands of people who will not be served in a pot, and if the Praetorian Guard wants to usurp power, it will also have to worry about the revival army outside the capital. ”

Yu Zixun looked at Wang Jitong very dumbfounded, and he said loudly: "One country, two armies, you are not afraid of chaotic government?" ”

"Don't be afraid! Foreigners say the separation of powers, and I say checks and balances. This is like the way of yin and yang, and it has become yang. Then I will keep the yin, and the yin and yang will be harmonized, so that all things can be mutually beneficial. Besides, the two armies are so big and one small, in fact, they are chaotic. Seriously, I'm not afraid of chaos, I'm only afraid of coups. Wang Ji said that when he talked about the coup, his eyes were very profound.

"Then what if Cheng Jinjing was arrested by the Praetorian Guards?" Yu Zixun laughed for a long time, and suddenly asked rhetorically.

"The Praetorian Guard is just protecting the royal family and the Parliament, so what are they doing when they are arrested? Once someone is arrested, the revival army outside the capital will immediately attack. Besides, it's not that he can't have personal guards, but if something changes, those people can always escort him to send telegrams. The Revival Army surrounded the Praetorian Guard, and the Praetorian Guard surrounded the actual personal guard, so it should be foolproof. Wang Ji said.

The conversation was interrupted for a while, Yu Zixun felt that what Wang Jitong said was somewhat reasonable, and some felt unreasonable, especially the arrangement of the Praetorian Guards he said, which was even more unbelievable, but after thinking about it, he felt that Yang Rui's power in the future was indeed very great, he was the president of the Fuxing Association, and then the chairman of the newly established military committee, and finally once he became the leader of the country, it could be said that all the power was in his hands. Wang Jitong only thinks about Chinese-style checks and balances, that is, Yang Rui has some concerns, but can't the three powers be separated according to the West? Or a hard and fast rule on how many years the head of state can only be in office. Yu Zixun thought of this, but the conclusion of the example of queuing up to share meals that Yang Rui told him last time last year suddenly flashed in his mind: In a country where people cannot be independent of each other, there is no way to guarantee actual fairness in terms of procedural fairness.

"It is necessary to save the people, and it is necessary to help Zhu Kuansu improve the popularity of the people, but it can't erase the achievements of the Fuxing Association, as for the Praetorian Guard, I'm still thinking about it." Tangled to the end, Yu Zixun said.

Yu Zixun Wang Jitong continued to plot in the study, but Yu Huizu returned to the living room to rest. Although the cruise ship is comfortable, he still feels good on the ground. As he said in his study, he woke up and completely forgot about yesterday's events, and the next day during the day he asked Yu Zixun to arrange a ticket to Detroit, and he and Zhang Kun personally went to the car company named Ford, which, according to the briefing, sold more than 8,000 cars last year, ranking among the best car companies in the United States. Of course, according to the information on the briefing, the reason why this car company is so successful is that its cars are cheaper than others, and each car costs less than a thousand dollars, not two thousand.

"We are now his supplier, and we make the dry batteries used in his cars." Liu Hongsheng is not at all restrained in the face of the big shopkeeper, and he is very proud of the dry battery business he manages. "I think Mr. Ford would have agreed to visit, but he didn't have time to receive us, he's always busy."

"Actually, I just wanted to see it." Yu Huizu said that he had seen the construction of railways, the big iron factory, and the match factory, but he was still very curious about how the car was made.

"Then I'll arrange it." Seeing that the big shopkeeper insisted on going to see it, Liu Hongsheng had no choice but to arrange it immediately. As far as he knows, Ford moved a new factory this year, so he doesn't know if there is any work over there now.

Zhang Kun has long been a Ford car. He's also interested in building cars, but there's more important things to talk about right now. "Tao Fu, let's talk about the situation here. The plan has already begun. But there is a difference of about six million taels of funds, and this money can only be found from your side. ”

"Six million taels?" Xie Taofu said. 04 years of Japanese and Russian bonds, 06 years of the New York stock market, two speculative business sat down, called him addicted, now after so long to have a big plan, only make people anxious to wait, but more anxious is this time to speculate on rubber stocks. There is not much of its own money at all. "Can't the banks in Shanghai settle this money? After the New York stock market crash the year before last, the funds in the United States were very tight, and it was still a little difficult to borrow six million taels. And so much money. The action is too big, and those foreigners are afraid that they will follow suit. ”

"Shanghai will also raise money, but that money will be invested in the stock market in the early stage, and the money will also be used to open a plantation in Nanyang. These six million are mainly reserve funds. But things change. Only then can we be invincible. Foreigners are not afraid to follow the trend, this money was not sold at the beginning, and by the time they knew that the money was used there, the matter was basically done. Zhang Kun said.

"Then ...... so," Xie Taofu pondered, "What about which one the two borrow from?" If you want to talk about the relationship with the government, you still have to find Morgan, and if you want to talk about secrecy, you should look for Rockefeller. It's just, Xingjian. I've always been worried that our plan will come into conflict with the foreign bankers, and the South Seas have always been the domain of the Dutch and the British. When we speculate on Nanyang stocks, we always feel weird and hairy. ”

Xie Taofu has been running abroad, and he has seen a lot of financial predators, because he is very worried about this speculative business, and the Japanese and Russian bonds are related to the war situation, as long as the war situation can be judged, then the result can naturally be grasped, and the New York stock market crash the year before last, because he speculated in his own stocks, and the stock market fell sharply, not to mention his own detonation, it can be regarded as a ride on someone else's ride, and enjoy the results. The current plan is to speculate on other people's stocks, or most of them are other people's stocks, and they are also involved with the Dutch and British, and they want to detonate the stock market, which is more than ten times more difficult than before.

"Your worries are also my worries." Zhang Kun's face was calm, nothing could come according to plan, there would always be such and such a council. "We've already pulled in the ABN AMRO over there, of course, the specific details haven't been said yet, but we have made a request to the ABN AMRO to meet with the deacon of their head office, but there has been no news back yet. If ABN AMRO will meet with us, we can do this with them. ”

Seeing that Zhang Kun said so freely, Xie Taofu said in a low voice, "This is a traitor!" ”

"Hmm. I already knew about it, and I was willing to admit the consequences of this. Zhang Kun was still calm, "Even if I am scolded, I have to do this thing, this is not my private matter, but a major event related to the revolution." ”

"Hey!" Xie Taofu sighed and said, "Then I'll make an appointment with someone from Morgan's side." In addition, it is rumored that Morgan wants to talk to us, but Mr. Cheng is not there, so he can only talk to us about one intention first. ”

"What intentions?" Hearing that Morgan actually wanted to talk to him, Zhang Kun was very strange.

"The last time Mr. Cheng came to New York, he found a man named Homer Lee and asked him to help him borrow $50 million. The man Homer Lee was looking for eventually brought the plan to Morgan, who was very unclear about our situation and did not agree. But now that Morgan has roughly investigated us, it is said that if we can survive the next Manchu encirclement, then there is a good chance that he will take out a loan. Xie Taofu said.

Zhang Kun knew about Yang Rui's coming to the United States to ask for a loan, but he didn't want to think that this matter was really eyebrow-raising, Zhang Kun said: "Then what are the other party's conditions?" How much discount is delivered and are there any additional terms? Do you want any more franchises, and ......"

Money is the most urgently needed thing for the revolution, and the revival will set the big move so late, in addition to talents, the international environment, there is also a more important thing is money. Now that Zhang Kun heard that there was a loan of 50 million, he was suddenly silent and slightly excited. Seeing him like this, Xie Taofu smiled and said, "You are also excited." Hehe. I only heard about this loan by chance two days ago, and I can't know the exact content. Homer Lee's side was afraid that he would have sent the situation to the country earlier. Hey, compared to investing in countries, we are still too small to speculate on stocks. ”

Seeing Xie Taofu saying that his self-deprecating strength was too small, Zhang Kun smiled and said, "Wait, we will have that day." (To be continued......)
