Everyone left, only Tao Yuanzhou stayed in the room alone, not knowing what he was thinking. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)

I don't know how long later, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and then a short, middle-aged man walked in from the outside.

"Tao Jun, how are things going?"

As he spoke, he walked to Tao Yuanzhou's side and sat down, as if he was very familiar with Tao Yuanzhou.

"Things are going very well..."Seeing this person come in, Tao Yuanzhou's face also showed a smile. Everyone agrees with this plan, and Wang Zhaoming is also willing to contact Song Jiaoren, believing that the possibility of success of this plan is very high..."Tao Yuanzhou said again. "By the way, Kurokawa-kun, when will the promised funds of your country arrive, and the plan for this time......... I'm afraid we won't be able to rely on our efforts alone, and we will need the help of your Japanese friends..."

"Don't worry, Tao-kun...," Kurokawa laughed. Your two countries are separated by a strip of water, and the empire is naturally willing to help friends like Tao Jun. Speaking of this, Kurokawa's expression also became stern. And the international shape shì at the moment......... It is only through the cooperation of our two countries that we can break the white domination of the world and liberate the lands that have been subjected to the efforts of the white colonizers..."

"However, there are many people in your country who have misconceptions about the Empire, and the most troublesome thing is that such people still enjoy a very high status in your country..."

"Yes..."Nodding, Tao Yuanzhou took over the topic from Kurokawa. I don't know why, President Yan Da has always had a deep misunderstanding of your country, which is not conducive to the cooperation between your two countries and the cause of liberating all the colonized yellow people. So we have to change the system of this country, and this is also for the future of China and all the yellow people..."

Seeing that Tao Yuanzhou had already regarded China as an equal status with Japan, Kurokawa couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Since the victory in the Battle of Shandong. Many pro-Japanese people in China also seem to have hardened their waists. Although he still leaned towards Japan in terms of political tendencies, he was no longer the servile minister he used to be, but elevated his status to the status of a Japanese collaborator.

Moreover, the theory of the alliance between China and Japan and the liberation of East and Southeast Asia, which is more influential in Japan, seems to have influenced China as well. In China, there are quite a few people who tend to cooperate with Japan and then fight against all white people―――――― and they are usually the most inclined to sit back and watch the tiger fight. Watching the white infighting.

Of course, they are also the most opposed to getting involved in the European war.

Although Tao Yuanzhou is not this kind of person, he has friends. So this kind of thing is said very smoothly.

And although he kept sneering in his heart, on the surface, Kurokawa had an approving attitude.

In fact, this time, the Japanese were indeed very supportive of Tao Yuanzhou.

――――――――――――――――――――

Since the end of the Battle of Shandong. The Japanese are soberly aware. On their own, it is clear that China is no longer helpless. Even if you risk your life to fight with the Chinese, the best result is only a lose-lose situation.

And...

The Chinese are wounded, and there is still vast land to rest and recuperate, waiting to start over.

But what about the Japanese?

They don't have such good conditions, one Japan plus one North Korea, with such a little strategic depth, the United States and Britain can teach him to be a man in minutes, not to mention an old Russian man who has always wanted to wash away his shame...

So Katsura Taro did not continue the original confrontational policy. On the one hand, it is taking advantage of the east wind of the European war to show the domestic economy, and on the other hand, it is looking forward to another way to deal with China...

Civil strife...

Since ancient times. Civil strife is the best way to weaken China, and the Japanese know what to do if they look at history.

But finding the opposition in China is not an easy task, because almost all of the warlords have been subdued by Yan Shao, and even if they tried to, they could not find them. What's more, the reputation of the Japanese in China is not as good as it used to be, and even if they find it, it is difficult to say whether they are willing to cooperate with him.

In the end, the Japanese had to choose another way of thinking, and since the military opposition had no choice, it was always no problem to find a political one.

Moreover, although the policies implemented by Yan Shao at home have indeed effectively enhanced China's strength, they have also aroused many objections. In China, there are not too many people who oppose Yan Shao, and it is easy to find.

And Tao Yuanzhou is such a candidate...

――――――――――――――――――――

Now the Japanese have changed the hopeless military action to overthrow Yan Shao and the Kuomintang government to a more tortuous and longer, but more effective political action.

After analyzing the current situation in China, Katsura Taro and others believe that China's political system is very suitable for China. Under the first-class system, a qiΔ“ project can be started and completed in the shortest possible time, especially when there is no need to consider the capital at all.

And a planned economy like the 'First Five-Year Plan' also allows China to be reborn in the shortest possible time―――――― and then, as mentioned earlier, especially when there is no need to think about capital at all.

In the case of Japan and other countries, it is a waste of time to have long discussions and so on...

So first, Japan needs to change this system, and by the way, give Yan Shao a few delays.

In this way, Yan Shao's actions will become inefficient, and he will have to focus more energy on the political struggle.

And it's not that simple...

Tax cuts, tax exemptions, tax reforms, anti-drugs, urban renewal, and so many other things, and the reason why they can go so smoothly is because there is a strong government on it. Even if there are local opinions, even if these reforms harm local interests, under the strong influence of the central government, local governments can only do so.

But if the central government has to put more effort into arguing, or even hand over some rights to local governments...

Yes, there is such a thing as a council in local government, but don't forget. Today, China's literacy rate is less than one-twentieth. And don't get the idea that voters will not be the first time they suffer a loss, and the second time they have learned a lesson.

If it was really that simple, then in Yan Shao's time. There will not be so many countries that have opted for democracy but are still at the bottom of the Third World.

In addition, the projects that are being carried out in the local area are also going to be chaotic.

If you really play any republic, the first thing that messes up is the place.

Even if there is no military power in the local government, under the 'republican' system, Yan Shao can only choose some more Sven means to solve the problem, and this kind of Sven or weak means. Undoubtedly the most time-wasting. By the time he solves all the problems, I'm afraid twenty or thirty years have passed...

In this way, the purpose of the Japanese will be achieved.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Speaking of which. Tao Jun, your party this time shouldn't be noticed by the people of the Special Affairs Bureau, right? Thinking of the department that gave the Black Dragon Society and other spy organizations a headache, Kurokawa suddenly frowned and asked.

The most important thing about the success of this plan is that it must not be known in advance by the people of the Special Affairs Bureau. Otherwise, everything will be over...

"Please rest assured about this..."Tao Yuanzhou said with a smile. I, Tao Yuanzhou, still know myself very well. In this Beijing city, I can only be regarded as a small role, and although the special affairs bureau is powerful, it is impossible for everyone to monitor it, and it is impossible to waste energy to monitor my small role, and almost all the characters I invited this time are like this, so there will be absolutely no problem..."

Heard Tao Yuanzhou say this. Kurokawa nodded.

They will pick Tao Yuanzhou, in fact, it is also for this reason.

To the Secret Service, an organization that has repeatedly deflated them. Kurokawa would never dare to underestimate him. If they were looking for those famous figures, Kurokawa could guarantee that they had just found them on the front foot, and the people from the Special Affairs Bureau on the back foot would probably already know about their situation.

And Tao Yuanzhou, no matter how powerful the Special Affairs Bureau is, it is impossible to even target such a small role with a little fame.

As for Wang Jingwei?

In later generations, this name was naturally famous, but in this era, although he became the idol of many young people because of the sentence 'lead the knife into a fast, live up to the head of the youth', and the exploit of assassinating Zaifeng. But now, after all, is no longer the era of revolution, and the so-called revolutionary heroes are beginning to be replaced by new ones.

If someone mentions the name of yì Wang Jingwei, many people may think of him.

But if no one brings it up...

New heroes, more eye-catching reports, and I'm afraid there are few people who can still remember him.

Today's Wang Jingwei is just a government official with the title of hero, and with this influence and Song Jiaoren's care, he holds an ordinary position in the government department.

In Tao Yuanzhou and Kurokawa's opinion, the possibility that the Special Affairs Bureau will monitor him is pitiful.

"Anyway, for the sake of safety, from today onwards, Tao Jun, it's better for us to meet less, especially Tao Jun, don't take the initiative to contact me, but if you really need help, you can go to this place..." With this code, we can contact our people there, but if it's not very important, it's better not to do so, because after you do those 'righteous' acts, you will inevitably be monitored by the Secret Service, and if you do so, it is very likely to arouse the suspicion of the Secret Service..."

"Well, I see..."Looking at the things on the note, Tao Yuanzhou nodded after putting it in his arms. In fact, even if Heichuan doesn't say it, Tao Yuanzhou knows this.

Unlike in the past, the reputation of the Japanese is not very good now, and if the news of cooperation with the Japanese spreads, then no matter how 'righteous' he is, it will be useless.

Seeing that Tao Yuanzhou really remembered, he nodded, Heichuan didn't talk nonsense, and the person walked out of the room directly.

After Heichuan left, Tao Yuanzhou couldn't help but sneer.

Of course, he knew exactly what the Japanese were up to, and he and the Japanese were just using each other. The Japanese wanted to use him to create some trouble for Yan Shao, and he used the help of the Japanese to take away part of the rights from Yan Shao, and even...

If this 'republican' movement can really succeed, then as a starting person, he will gain great prestige after all. This prestige and qualifications will also become his further capital.

The current China is not a poor and white China, if one day it can ascend to a high position......... Just think about it. Tao Yuanzhou felt a little excited.

As for Song Jiaoren?

He really didn't take this to heart, because in Tao Yuanzhou's opinion, Song Jiaoren was just a fool who was broken by the so-called 'republic' and 'cabinet' systems.

"Speaking of which, the current system is actually quite good, but unfortunately, if you want to seize power from Yan Shao, you must support the republic. That's really ......... Alas..."Thinking of this, Tao Yuanzhou couldn't help but sigh...

Before leaving the room, Tao Yuanzhou thought about the whole plan again. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. The most important part of this plan is that Song Jiaoren and the Japanese funds. The manpower of the first domestic association opposed Yan Shao, with Song Jiaoren's prestige being the greatest. As long as he can stand up, this matter is half of it, as for the other half. Funds of the Japanese. The most important thing in this matter is that he must not let people show his relationship with the Japanese.

But after today, his connection with the Japanese will be completely hidden.

Even if Yan Shao sensed that something was wrong, the special affairs bureau that came to the door after that might not be able to detect anything...

As long as he thought of this, Tao Yuanzhou couldn't help but smile proudly.

――――――――――――――――――――

In his office, Yan Shao was looking at a plan proposed by the Beijing municipal government, which was simple: to build a subway in the city. The purpose of the construction is very simple, first with the domestic exhibition. The traffic in Beijing is getting busier, and building a subway will help ease the traffic pressure.

Also the subway thing. In a way, it is likely to become the mainstream of the city. If you start repairing it now, you can find out the experience, and then you can build the subway and the locomotives needed for the subway in China, and even export them abroad in the future―――――― this is the mention of several locomotive factories such as Fengtian Locomotive Factory and Tangshan Locomotive Factory.

In addition, there is the political factor, as a large country in the Far East, it is better to have a subway.

For military reasons, on January 19, 1915, German airships began to bomb the British mainland. This means that there will be no difference between the front and the rear of the war, so the Ministry of Defense believes that the country should start building some evacuation facilities, such as bomb shelters.

At present, the urban sewers that are being built in major cities in China are a good solution, and although the spacious sewers do not taste good, they can allow many citizens to evacuate.

The subway is also a good evacuation facility, so after the Beijing municipal government and other departments proposed to build the subway, the Ministry of Defense also joined in.

"Is it going to cost money again..."

Somewhat helpless, Yan Shao shook his head and said.

However, for the repair of the subway, Yan Shao agrees. Because at this time, the subway has begun to become more common. The world's earliest (and first) subway was the Metropolitan Subway in London, England, which was built in M, when electricity was not yet popular, so steam locomotives were used. In 1896, the city of Budapest, then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, opened the first metro of the European Big 6, with a total of 5 kilometers and 11 stations, which is still in use today.

In 19o5, the British had electrified all the subways, so the current subway technology is actually more practical.

It's just about the cost of repairing the subway............... Now the government doesn't have much money, and Yan Shao is willing to let the bank take out a loan, but it is difficult to say whether the government dares to lend.

Just when Yan Shao was hesitating, the phone on the desktop rang...

"What's the matter?" Putting down the matter of the subway for the time being, Yan Shao took the phone and asked softly. Soon, Yan Shao got the answer he wanted, but when he heard this answer, Yan Shao's brows furrowed slightly. "Okay, let him come over quickly..."

Hanging up the phone, Yan Shao pursed his lips.

About ten minutes later, Tang Li, who was dressed in simple women's clothes, pushed open the door from outside and walked in, stood in front of Yan Shao's desk and saluted. "The Great President..."

"You sit down first..."Sighing softly, Yan Shao looked at Tang Li. I just said on the phone..."

"According to the information we received, there was a group of people who met in a teahouse called Rosin Xiang this morning, and this is the list of party members..."Saying that, Tang Li put the list full of names on Yan Shao's table and continued. According to the information we have received, these people are people who are dissatisfied with the government and want to stir up the people to oppose the government and the president in the name of the republic, and we also have a member of the Black Dragon Society named Kurokawa, who seems to have something to do with this..."

When he said this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Tang Li's eyes.

Maybe Hei Chuan and Tao Yuanzhou's plan is really good, and they really invited someone who the Special Affairs Bureau will not monitor―――――― except for Wang Jingwei.

Perhaps in Tao Yuanzhou's eyes, Wang Jingwei is not a person who can easily attract the attention of others, and it is unlikely that someone from the Special Affairs Bureau will monitor him. But this young talent who once left a 'quick knife and lived up to the head of the boy' left a name on Yan Shao's side...

The Secret Service used to spy on him even more than the British Legation.

So Wang Jingwei just went in with his front foot, and the people from the Special Affairs Bureau also followed him with his back foot. And when Wang Jingwei and the others left, they received a new mission, and the person in charge of monitoring Tao Yuanzhou also saw Heichuan...

Among the members of the Black Dragon Society in China, Kurokawa can be regarded as registered...

It can be said that just when Tao Yuanzhou and Heichuan thought that this was a secret gathering, as long as the two terminated contact, even if the Special Affairs Bureau checked it, they couldn't find anything, but their meeting situation has always been under the monitoring of the Special Affairs Bureau...

And the reason why Yan Shao started talking was because Wang Jingwei seemed to have taken the same path again―――――― although it seemed that he did not know anything about the Japanese.

However, what made him see that fortunately, this time the matter was indeed tricky, if he really let Tao Yuanzhou and them make a 'republic' like this, Yan Shao really had no good way. But as long as the Japanese are involved, then there is no big problem in this matter.

And...

"Is it a republic?" smiled, and Yan Shao glanced at the names again. It seems that luck is still on my side, and this time I can take the opportunity to wipe out all the opponents in the country, and by the way, make the republic stink, otherwise there will be some trouble for someone to stand up and make a republican in three days. ”

"There is also the matter of declaring war on Germany, I am afraid that there will also be a group of lords and factions to make trouble, if they can be solved together..."

Yan Shao didn't think about killing, and he didn't plan to do so.

Because he knows very well that if this kind of head is opened, it will not be easy to control it in the future.

He just wants to get rid of the opponents, so that they no longer have the power to call on others to oppose him in politics.

As for why...

Yan Shao knew very well that on the one hand, this was done so that there would be no opponents in the next exhibition, and on the other hand, it was for the sake of ......... Myself...

Having sat in the presidency for so long, getting used to a life of one-size-fits-all ...

He's already some...

I don't really want to quit...
