If at the beginning, the so-called republican movement was still in full swing, then when Ma Du and others stood up to testify, and then the national government released a large amount of information, the so-called "republican" movement suddenly cooled down, and all sectors of society followed silently, still saying that in addition to some newspapers that originally belonged to the national government, there were only those newspapers that had supported the national government from beginning to end.

On the other hand, Zhu Erdian and the others, who were still thinking about how Yan Shao would solve this crisis, obviously did not expect Yan Shao to solve it in such a way, which was really surprising to them.

And Tao Yuanzhou and others, when faced with the testimony of Ma Du and others, as well as the evidence of the Guoshe government, while being angry, flatly denied it, refused to admit the accusations given to them by the Guoshe government, and instead stated that this was a slander against them by the Guoshe government...

It's not surprising that if they admit it, it's a strange thing ...

However, in the face of mountains of ironclad evidence, no matter how much they deny it, it is useless...

Almost the next moment when Ma Du testified against them, the police station and the special affairs bureau had already come to the door together. Although Tao Yuanzhou and the others acted very secretively, it was impossible to have no clues at all, not to mention that in addition to Tao Yuanzhou, the Special Affairs Bureau and the Police Department also sent people to the Black Dragon Society.

The two sides worked together, and soon obtained a large amount of strong evidence.

Under this evidence, although there are still some people who insist on the so-called 'republic', in fact, there are very few people from all walks of life who are willing to support them.

The Chinese people may not be very literate, but they know one thing very well. That is, we must support what the enemy opposes, and we must oppose what the enemy supports.

And in France. Napoleon also once said, 'Do what the enemy wants you to do'.

This is the case at the moment, leaving aside for the time being whether Yan Shao's various measures are right or wrong, the people's thinking is very simple, since this is what the Japanese oppose, it must be correct...

So almost in a very short period of time, it could have been a storm that could have affected Yan Shao's power. It was completely eliminated.

Of course, this is not without its other problems...

――――――――――――――――――――

In Song Jiaoren's mansion, he himself was lying on his back on the sand.

Directly opposite him, Wang Jingwei had a depressed expression on his face.

Not long ago, Song Jiaoren had just questioned Wang Jingwei and asked him if he had already known about Tao Yuanzhou and the others' collusion with the Japanese. Wang Jingwei naturally denied this. In fact, he really didn't know about it.

As I once said, no one is born to be a traitor, even a big traitor like Wang Jingwei, who has left a great name in history. Moreover, Wang Jingwei is also a smart man, and he knows very well what the impact of colluding with the Japanese during this period will be, and Japan today does not have an absolute advantage over China as it did in history.

If it is said that before the Shandong Campaign, Wang Jingwei still had the possibility of defecting to the Japanese.

Then after the end of the Battle of Shandong. This possibility has been completely cleared...

After all, he is not stupid, and there is nothing good to be gained from colluding with the Japanese now. Even Tao Yuanzhou himself doesn't think that he is an equal partner with the Japanese, rather than a lackey of the Japanese...

From this point of view, Wang Jingwei was pitted by Tao Yuanzhou very miserably this time.

But the worst thing is Song Jiaoren...

This time, in order to make the momentum of the 'republican' movement bigger, Wang Jingwei was entrusted by Tao Yuanzhou to invite Song Jiaoren to be the leader of this movement.

Because this matter is very in line with Song Jiaoren's political concept, so in the end Song Jiaoren accepted the invitation, who knows that the final result will be like this.

Although not so long ago. The Kuomintang government has clarified that Song Jiaoren was hoodwinked, but the truth is. Song Jiaoren's reputation has been affected, if in the past, when people looked at him, they used admiration, then now when they look at him. The gaze is obviously much more complicated.

And after experiencing such a thing, Song Jiaoren obviously did not want to continue to serve as the minister of clean government. It is also for this reason that Wang Jingwei will be very depressed, not long ago, he had persuaded Song Jiaoren for a long time, but unfortunately he still couldn't change Song Jiaoren's mind.

And as long as he thinks that because of himself, one of the most powerful ministers in the party in the government has to resign, Wang Jingwei feels a little remorseful―――――― at least now he is not the big traitor that everyone spurned later...

"If it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to go to Kegong to go out..."

Kegong is naturally Huang Keqiang, that is, Huang Xing.

Song Jiaoren's position was too important for the Kuomintang to be lost at all, so after persuasion was useless, Wang Jingwei had already thought of going to Huang Xing to persuade Song Jiaoren.

Seriously speaking, in fact, Wang Jingwei is not willing to do this, because Huang Xing's health at this time is not good, although it cannot be said that he is terminally ill, but it will not be much worse than that, if he disturbs Huang Xing's rest, won't it affect his body?

It's just that just when Wang Jingwei made up his mind, there was a sudden knock on the door.

It was a little strange, but Wang Jingwei still got up from his seat, and then walked to the door and opened it.

As for Song Jiaoren, he continued to lie on the sand.

It can be seen that the resignation of the minister of clean government is actually a big blow to Song Jiaoren. After all, he has put a lot of effort into this position, and he loves his current job.

Compared with other departments, the Ministry of Integrity is undoubtedly the department that can make Song Jiaoren feel that he is the one who can do justice again, and there is no more suitable position for a relatively naïve person like Song Jiaoren in politics, but now he has to leave behind...

――――――――――――――――――――

Just when Song Jiaoren's heart was still a little painful, Wang Jingwei also opened the door.

It's just that when he opened the door, looking at the people standing outside the door, Wang Jingwei was dumbfounded. Because the one standing outside the door was Yan Shao.

Although Wang Jingwei also thought about who came at this time. But in any case, he didn't expect that Yan Shao would actually do something, which undoubtedly surprised him, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

However, compared with Wang Jingwei, Yan Shao is obviously much more stable.

waved his hand at Wang Jingwei. After signaling him to leave first, Yan Shao strode into Song Jiaoren's office―――――― although it had been proved that Wang Jingwei had no collusion with the Japanese, and he was a good revolutionary young man at this time, but the traces he left in history were too strong after all, so although Yan Shao would not do something unfavorable to him, he would inevitably be worse in his attitude.

Fortunately. At this time, Wang Jingwei's heart was still in a trance, so he didn't notice this, in fact, even if he did, it was nothing, after all, the current Wang Jingwei could be said to be no threat to Yan Shao...

On the other hand, I heard the sound of the door opening, but saw nothing else. Song Jiaoren was also a little puzzled, so he raised his head, only to see Yan Shao walking in from outside. This scene suddenly made Song Jiaoren a little dumbfounded.

However, Yan Shao just smiled at him, and then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Mr. Motoha, it's been a long time..."

―――――――――――――――――――

For Yan Shao, Song Jiaoren is a talent that must not be lost. After all, it is not an easy task to find a more suitable woodpecker than him in a short period of time.

For this reason, Yan Shao had to spend a lot of effort and persuade Song Jiaoren to retract the idea of resignation.

It was indeed a lot of bulls, in order to persuade Song Jiaoren, Yan Shao spent a whole afternoon.

Fortunately, in the end, he succeeded, after Yan Shao's persuasion, especially when Yan Shao mentioned that if he resigned, those people in the Kuomintang were likely to go to the hospital to harass Huang Keqiang, and Huang Keqiang's health has not been very good recently. If you overwork, it is likely to endanger your life later...

God testifies that Yan Shao was obviously doing this for the good of Song Jiaoren, but it took so much effort.

Fortunately, in the end, Song Jiaoren finally changed his mind and didn't let Yan Shao's thoughts go to waste...

"Since President Monta's attention. Then I'll continue to sit in this position for a while..."After listening to Yan Shao's 'persuasion', Song Jiaoren said helplessly.

And Yan Shao, who succeeded in the conspiracy, laughed sinisterly twice after Song Jiaoren agreed.

――――――――――――――――――――

Originally, after the news of Song Jiaoren's resignation spread, it could not be said that the whole country was celebrating together, at least the domestic officialdom was still relatively happy. This is true of both the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang Socialist Party, because Song Jiaoren, who is an idealist, is completely a guy who does not recognize his six relatives.

When arresting people, she didn't care about your identity and background at all, whether you were a member of the Kuomintang or the Kuomintang, as long as you broke the law, she would be sent to prison.

And the ordinary ways of going through relationships, setting up backgrounds and bribes are basically useless to him.

Now that such a person wants to take the initiative to withdraw from officialdom, they are naturally very happy. Who would have thought that just when Song Jiaoren was about to take the initiative to leave, Yan Shao would actually come to the door in person and get him back, and suddenly many officials who were still happy just now immediately became crying and sad.

Originally, such a thing was a big deal, and for those uncrowned kings, the news about this is still worth tracking up.

However, at this time, there happened to be another more important event, so almost all the reporters turned their attention to this matter, even if some newspapers were still interested in this matter, and the pictures were just some second-rate reporters.

And this is about China's imminent accession to the Entente ...

――――――――――――――――――――

In mid-January 1915, just after the turmoil of the republican movement, another shocking news came out.

After lengthy negotiations, the Chinese government formally joined the Entente camp and officially declared war on a number of countries, including Germany, Austria, and Turkey, as soon as it joined.

If it did not want to be retaliated against by the Allies after the war was over, China had to find a way to get the Allies to win the war.

So at the same time as declaring war on the Allies. The Chinese government also announced the formal formation of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to Europe. The initial number was set at nearly 60,000 men in one corps and three infantry divisions. It consisted mainly of one Division A and two Division B, and its combat effectiveness was very strong, and the Entente was also very satisfied with this.

Because they know very well that it is very unrealistic to directly send hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops to Europe, after all, there are only 33 infantry divisions and hundreds of thousands of people in China at present. Sending hundreds of thousands of people at once is quite a sudden drain of half of China's troops, and even if they want to, China will not agree to this kind of thing, so they can only wait for the Chinese government to mobilize slowly.

For example, those two B divisions are the new infantry divisions that will be formed.

And in the opinion of the Entente. The Nationalist government also showed its sincerity to the cause of the Entente―――――― at least much more than the Japanese.

After all, as an old Entente and a colleague among the great powers, the Japanese have only captured some German islands in the Pacific Ocean at the moment, and have done almost nothing else.

No, it can't be said that at least the Japanese lost a large amount of troops in Shandong. In the eyes of many people, it is a loss of wife and soldiers...

On the other hand, with the Japanese as a counterpoint, the Entente also gave the Nationalist government a handsome reward after showing sufficient sincerity.

First, as previously discussed, the Entente would make some concessions in terms of garrisons and tariffs, especially the French. Even hinted at in private. Even a reduction in some French concessions in China is not impossible to talk about―――――― although there are not many French concessions in China.

In addition to this, there is the issue of weapons and equipment, to which the French and British governments have already committed. As long as the Nationalist government sends an expeditionary force to Europe to participate in the war, the first division will be counted, and the two second divisions and the subsequent new troops will be provided by Britain and France.

The reason why it is said that Britain and France, rather than France itself, is because in the process of negotiations, Gu Weijun and others asked the Entente to provide equipment, and the rifle should be the Li Enfeld that the Entente is currently equipped with. The pistol should be the American Browning M1911, in addition to machine guns, etc., and it should also be the British Maxim and the Danish Madsen, not the French.

Of course, the British have nothing to do with this, and they are still proud in private. After all, the request of Gu Weijun and others proved it. British weapons were better than French weapons in this respect.

And the French, who have always been proud, seem to have suffered great humiliation in this matter.

However, these have little to do with Yan Shao, although he personally sent these soldiers to the battlefield. But this does not mean that Yan Shao treats these things as cannon fodder, on the contrary, Yan Shao is very concerned about the survival of these people.

Although the equipment of the French is good, it is obviously much worse than that of the Germans.

In terms of individual weapons, the M1915 rifle is also significantly inferior to the German Mauser or the British Lee Enfeld. As for the machine gun, the most deterrent weapon on the battlefield, the machine gun of the French is obviously slightly inferior to the German or British machine gun.

Coupled with Browning's classic M1911 pistol, which has been used for more than a hundred years, it is not wrong to say that the French are not as equipped as these.

In addition to the equipment, the Entente would provide the Commune government with an interest-free loan of 10 million pounds. It was used to carry out the expansion of the army, as well as some expenses for sending expeditionary forces to Europe.

In addition, a second payment is being prepared, as long as the expeditionary force spends well in Europe, the second 10 million pounds sterling, the Allies will give it with both hands, and may even turn this money directly into aid―――――― provided that the expeditionary force can help others win the war.

At the same time, as a major obstacle to past negotiations, Britain has finally conceded on this issue.

Iraq and Kuwait, as long as the war is won, the British government will send these two places to China at the same time. However, this part is still in a state of secrecy, especially in Kuwait.

Iraq is okay, but Kuwait is the British sphere of influence, the British government once promised to protect Kuwait's security, and now almost 1o years have passed, and the British have turned their faces and denied people―――――― their cheeks are not so thick...

So what has been announced so far is only Iraq.

But even so, the appearance of a colony to the people of the country is huge. After all, the colony itself represents the identity of the great powers. Any great power will have its own colonies.

It may not be understandable to later generations, but for the people of this era, the fact that a country that has been bullied by foreign powers is about to have its own colony is definitely a happy thing.

And this has also increased the public's support for this war.

This also means that this war has officially begun.

Before the Communist government officially declared war on Germany, the German government also issued a stern warning to the Nationalist government. Warn China not to get involved in this war of the great powers.

However, in private, Marzan still met with Yan Shao and interrogated the relevant Nationalist government's handling of German personnel in China.

Yan Shao had only one promise to Marzan and others, that is, all Germans in China would not be sent to prison, and their private property would be guaranteed―――――― provided that they were not stolen from China, such as cultural relics.

In addition, German soldiers in China did not need to be imprisoned in concentration camps, but their activities were restricted.

All German concessions in China will be unconditionally recovered, and all the debts owed by China to Germany in the past will be written off...
