Volume IV The Battle for Unification Chapter 578 U.S. Consul Dr. Schulman
Japan is forced by the pressure of Europe and the United States not to dare to do anything in the northeast, and at the same time, it is also afraid of the increasingly powerful Chinese National Defense Force, but if there is no pressure from Europe and the United States, the Japanese will definitely fight for the sake of the nation. Fortunately, in this time and space, Wang Maoru designed a poisonous plan for Japan, so that Australia's resources were exposed in advance, Australia's land area is 7.7 million square kilometers, Japan's mainland area is 70,000 square kilometers, Australia's population is 2 million people, Japan's population at this time is Wu Wu Wu Bai 10,000 people, it can be said that in the face of Australia's fat meat, the Japanese will never give up lightly. The result of the competition between Japan and Europe is that Wang Maoru can develop rapidly and vigorously in the Northeast, otherwise he will not move in the past two years, go to Europe and Russia, and his hometown is gone.
But Shandong is different, the Japanese have too deep interests in Shandong, and the Anhui system has almost lent all the rights in Shandong except for land rights to Japan in exchange for money.
Jiang Fangzhen sighed again and again: "It's a pity that it's a good opportunity, a good opportunity." "Who doesn't want to enter the Central Committee, even Jiang Fangzhen, who is still relatively indifferent to fame and fortune, can't help but shout that it's a pity, it can be seen that other people also want to enter the Central Committee and be a senior official of the Central Committee for a few years.
Wang Maoru laughed and said: "If you don't fight this year, you won't fight, let's fight with others, recuperate for a few years, and consolidate the territory first." By the way, Brother Baili, make a plan to recover the Outer Northeast of our army. β
"What?" Zhang Xiaozhun was surprised on the side, "Recovering the Outer Northeast? No...... Stopped fighting? β
Jiang Fangzhen also frowned, and said after a while: "Xiu Shuai." This move is too dangerous, too dangerous. "Zhang Xiaozhun Jiang Fangzhen. Immediately said: "Brother Baili, how can you ...... Also so impulsive? And Yongxingbao, because of his low qualifications, looked carefully on the map and did not speak.
Wang Maoru walked to the side of the map and asked Yongxingbao, "Peiyu, what's wrong with you?" β
Yong Xingbao said: "It is theoretically feasible, but I am afraid that Americans will disagree." β
"Americans?"
"Yes, Americans." Yong Xingbao said solemnly.
Wang Maoru frowned. Now for yourself, the attitude of the Americans is too important.
Since Changchun became the temporary capital of Wang Maoru's territory, Changchun has become the center of foreign affairs of the Great Wall, and the United States has also set up a consulate in Changchun, and Japan has also set up a consulate in Changchun. The consul at the U.S. Consulate was Jacob Gould Schulman, a university professor and educator. He was then invited to become a diplomat, and his profound knowledge was so admirable and admired that he brought a cultural flavor to American diplomatic strategy, and when people met him, they would call him Professor Schulman, not the diplomat Schulman.
After the weather gets colder. Many people like to take a shotgun to hunt in the mountains in the western suburbs of Changchun, and Wang Maoru also has this hobby, so he invited Shulman's family, and he also took his family and some of his subordinates to hunt in the western suburbs. Although Schulman was a literati professor, the martial character of the American also made him glad to go to the appointment. At the same time, it is also to draw in the friendship between China and the United States.
Everyone came to the western suburbs by sleigh, and after getting off the bus, Wang Maoru asked Ma Liang to set up a temporary tent on the side. He and Schulman rode horses, walking and talking in search of prey. The reason why the western suburbs can become a hunting ground is because this western suburbs is the property of He Rufei's family, and He Rufei likes land the most among Wang Maoru's subordinates. Wang Maoru reprimanded He Rufei and ordered him not to fight for land with the people. He Rufei replaced the land in his hand with a land of mountains and forests, and now Wang Maoru had nothing to say, this land of mountains and forests was not cultivated land, and Wang Maoru could not be innocently accused. He Rufei told his family that gold, silver and jewelry can only be enjoyed by future generations for a few decades, and if the company's mine is not well managed by its descendants, they will eventually end up with nothing, only land, and no matter how stupid their children and grandchildren are, they will not even be able to plant land, right?
It's just that the idea of using this mountain forest as a hunting ground in the western suburbs was given to him by Wang Maoru, He Rufei thought that there would definitely be many rich and noble people in Changchun in the future, whether it was a hunting ground, and then the hunting ground was a rich and noble person, and it was good for his own descendants.
The two of them rode horses, breathed in the cold wind of the north, and had two bottles of wine at hand, drinking and talking about world history.
Shulman said: "Xiushuai, you are really a learned FΓΌhrer. β
Wang Maoru hurriedly said: "I'm not the FΓΌhrer, I'm just a warlord." β
"No, I think you have a chance to become the head of China. β
Wang Maoru was secretly happy in his heart, and he had a good impression of himself when he came to the Americans, so he said: "Really? I hope that China and the United States will become countries that have been friendly for generations, and I don't know if I will be able to reach it in my lifetime. β
"President Wilson especially wants China to have a say in Asia," Schulman said. β
Wang Maoru suddenly said: "Actually, I think China and the United States have something in common. He suddenly saw a rabbit, raised his gun to shoot, the rabbit was killed by a shot, Deng Zichao excitedly rode over and scooped it up, waved it and shouted: "Xiushuai, fat rabbit, fat rabbit." Wang Maoru laughed and said, "I'm sorry, I took the lead." β
Schulman shrugged and said, "What do you mean by common?" β
Wang Maoru said: "Both of our countries are very inclusive countries, with vast land and vast resources. Over the course of two hundred years on the vast North American continent, the United States has developed a culture that is uniquely American, embracing bravery, compactness, practicality, and religiousness. And China has evolved over thousands of years on this Asian continent to form the tenacity, interests, Confucian culture and self-sufficient civilization of the Chinese. Our Confucian culture, in particular, has evolved into a religion. In fact, unlike Westerners, your religion is monotheistic, our religion is polytheistic, and Confucianism is a cultural religion that exhorts people to be good and establish a righteous spirit. Westerners can easily understand Islam, Buddhism, Taoism, and even witchcraft, but it is difficult to understand Chinese Confucianism. β
Shulman laughed, "Yes, because we have a god in our hearts who can do anything. He loved the world, and he loved his disciples even more. But who is the god of Confucianism that you are talking about? β
"That's the difference between us." Wang Maoru said, "Our god is the ritual law passed down the year before last, our god created Confucianism and rules, but he will not punish us, it is another god who punishes us." β
"So your faith is very obscure." Schulman sighed.
Wang Maoru smiled and asked, "Isn't our language obscure?" β
"Yes, yes, yes." Schulman said, "Chinese is really the most difficult language in the world to learn." β
Wang Maoru laughed. In the distance, a roe deer jumped out, and it seemed to be frightened, and Wang Maoru knew that it must be his subordinates who had rushed the robes here, so he signaled to Shulman. Shulman pulled the bolt of the gun, aimed at the robe and fired a shot, but the bullet missed, and the robe immediately ran away. Wang Maoru then made up a shot. The robe fell into the snow. The two thought that the robe was dead, so they put away their guns and prepared to come forward to watch, but they found that the robe suddenly jumped up and ran quickly, and the two were dumbfounded, and they looked at each other, and suddenly laughed. This stupid robe is not stupid. He also knows how to cheat people to death.
Wang Maoru knocked it down with a shot, and the two of them rode over, and the adjutant Ma Liang on the side got off the horse and checked it, and said, "Right in the head, a good robe and skin." He was only three years old when he came to this robe, and his skin was very tender. β
Wang Maoru smiled at Shulman: "After I have made this skin." I'll make a scarf and give it to you. β
"Thank you." Schulman laughed.
In the morning, the two of them hunted six rabbits, three roe deer, seven pheasants and one roe deer, and when they returned to the tent, they saw singing and laughter coming from inside. Strange to their hearts, they dismounted and went in, and saw Ulan Tuya dancing a Mongolian dance around the campfire, and Shulman's wife and children clapping their hands despite the language barrier.
Seeing Wang Maoru coming, Ulan Tuya said: "Xiusheng, come, let's dance together." β
"Okay." Wang Maoru was full of interest, instructed his subordinates to make the prey into barbecue, and danced with Ulan Tuya, the Mongolian dance movements were simple and enthusiastic, it was very suitable for this kind of celebration occasion, several little guys also came up to dance, Shulman was also pulled down by Wang Maoru to dance together. The crowd played for a while, and the barbecue was finished by the chef, and they sat down sweating profusely.
Schulman sat next to Wang Maoru, picked up a roast rabbit and tasted it, and said in surprise: "It tastes good, this chef is amazing, so delicious." Schulman's wife and children were also amazed.
Although the second lady Yuzhuo didn't understand English, after the female translator on the side translated to everyone, she immediately smiled and said: "This cook used to cook for the emperor in the palace, we call it the imperial kitchen." After the translator explained it to Schulman and others, it immediately triggered Schulman's praise, saying that the Chinese chef is amazing.
After eating and drinking for a while, Shulman became interested, and he and Wang Maoru rode into the mountains again to hunt.
"Xiushuai, you came to me today, you should have other purposes, right?" Shulman asked, riding on his horse.
Wang Maoru smiled: "I really can't hide it from you." β
"We are friends, and we should be honest with each other," Schulman said. β
"You're right." Wang Maoru said, "Then I'll get straight to the point." β
"Please."
Wang Maoru said: "I hope that the U.S. government can support me. β
Schulman said: "The U.S. government has your back. β
Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "No, the support I said is not the same concept as the support you received. β
Shulman frowned and asked, "Do you want to occupy the whole of China?" He looked at Wang Maoru and felt that this man was ambitious, and perhaps he was the one who could influence the future Asian strategy of the United States.
Hearing Shulman ask if he had the ambition to dominate China, Wang Maoru said: "I can occupy the whole of China, but it will take time, in fact, I hope that the US government can help me curb the Japanese infiltration into East Asia, and I am always worried that the current northeast will become the pocket of the Japanese in the future." And the ambitions of the Japanese are enough to devour themselves, or in the future they will invade the United States. β
Shulman said: "Xiushuai, you are alarmist, the Japanese cannot have this guts." β
"Hmph," Wang Maoru sneered, and said, "Isn't what the Japanese did in Australia enough to explain it?" β
