As time passed, it became darker.

It's just that unlike in the past, Beijing today is like a city that never sleeps, with almost no lights everywhere. In particular, the high-rise buildings that continue to rise from the ground make the whole city feel like a fairyland―――――― for those who still have the impression of the whole world in the pre-Qing Dynasty.

In fact, such people are definitely not few, after all, in the former Qing Dynasty, high-rise buildings or neon lights and other things basically did not exist.

Indeed, at least in the pre-Qing Dynasty, there were very few skyscrapers or neon signs in China. This was true even in the year when the Qing government was overthrown, and for many, the nine years from 1911 to 1920 do not seem particularly long.

In fact, even now, there are many Chinese people who have not left their hometowns for many years. Nine years doesn't seem to be a particularly long time.

It is for this reason that when these people find out that this country has changed so much―――――― these people seem to be almost scared to pee!

However, it is not surprising that for these people, their world is actually the same as before, just a lot of courtyards, at most some two- and three-story restaurants or some relatively novel small western-style buildings―――――― but obviously, the height will definitely not be particularly high.

It's basically such a routine, after all, these people usually rarely leave their hometowns, and for some small counties. That's what it looks like.

In the past, it took only nine years for the Qing Dynasty to reach the Guoshe government, and only seven years from Beiyang to the Guoshe government. Seven years may seem like a short time. But it's a little too fast for many, at least to the point where they can't get used to it.

It is also because of this relationship that when the country's transportation becomes more and more convenient, and at the same time, more and more rural people begin to enter the city, they are suddenly dazzled by the world of flowers in front of them.

Obviously, for their somewhat scarce brains, whether it is a high-rise building that is dozens or even hundreds of floors high. Or those neon signs above, it's something unimaginable. Many people even feel as if they have arrived in a fairyland when they see these for the first time.

And this qiē. But it is what the government has achieved in the past seven years.

One of the most important reasons why the Chinese people support Yan Shao so much comes from this. It is precisely because of Yan Shao's achievements in the past few years that almost all Chinese people feel excited!

There is no way, ordinary people are easily confused by the qiē in front of them.

In fact, it is not only these people. Even if it's a foreigner. I will also be shocked by the qiē in front of me. After all, even in Europe, it is very rare to see such a prosperous city, and many foreigners can't even imagine that such a city will appear in a seemingly backward Far Eastern country―――――― many foreigners will have a certain sense of superiority in their hearts when they first arrive, even if they say it soundly, in fact, they still have a certain sense of superiority in their hearts, but then whether it is in Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing, they have witnessed a qiē, but their sense of superiority is gone.

Of course, there are still many backward places in today's China. At least that's the case for the vast majority of regions, but over time. There is no doubt that these places will change as much as any other place.

On the other hand, perhaps because of the relationship that has evolved into a city that never sleeps, the entire city is lit up by the neon lights around it, even though it is late at night. If it was in the past, maybe the people of this city were still a little uncomfortable with this kind of life, but as time went by, these people have become more or less accustomed to it.

Of course, there are still many people who are more disgusted, after all, they are used to the life of going to bed early and getting up early in the past―――――― there is no way, even if they want to have some other life, they don't know what to do, after all, there is really nothing to play, for them.

Or for people in this era, the so-called nightlife is basically to do something they love to do, at home or in a brothel, or gambling and the like, as for anything else, I'm afraid it's really nothing, even if it's opium smoker, it may not be smoked at this time.

Naturally, basically no one in China during this period dared to do this.

After all, Yan Shao is still very concerned about the anti-drug matter. Although at the beginning, Yan Shao did not do much about some drugs and other things in China, but after the regime was more stable, Yan Shao immediately set off an anti-drug storm in China.

For Yan Shao, Huang He gambling may be a little more tolerant, after all, whether it is sex or gambling, it is one of the nature of human beings, even if you want to prohibit it, it is absolutely unforgiving. But poison is different, it is made by humans themselves, a kind of devil that can destroy people's homes!

The Opium War many years ago has shown the power of this devil. And Yan Shao will never allow the same thing to happen to China again.

Therefore, Yan Shao may tolerate the first two, but his tolerance for the latter is absolutely zero.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Just as Yan Shao was explaining his reasons to Xu Shichang and Duan Qirui, Jiang Baili, who had returned home, was also speculating about Yan Shao's intentions. That's right, theoretically he is indeed the most suitable candidate for this position, after all, the Air Force is in the initial stage, although it already has a foundation for the Army Aviation in the past. However, if we want to completely become a strategic air force, we still need a certain amount of rectification.

At this time, not only do you need a famous general who wins all battles, but also need a general with strong theory. Coupled with Jiang Baili's prestige in the National Defense Army, even the people of the Army Aviation did not dare to underestimate it in the slightest, so he naturally became the best candidate for the Minister of the Air Force.

What's more, the "Strategic Air Force" he created before, even within the Army Aviation, has many supporters, which can also allow Jiang Baili to work better after entering the Air Force.

To sum up, no matter from which point of view, Jiang Baili is the most suitable candidate for this position.

But Jiang Baili didn't believe that Yan Shao's purpose was as simple as that...

It's just that no matter what he thinks, he can't think of what Yan Shao's true intentions are.

After all, Yan Shao's second purpose is too naïve, not to mention that the friendship between the two people may not be estranged for this reason―――――― but there is still a possibility, just like the navy and army on the Japanese side, it is a perennial trouble, and the contradictions between each other are almost becoming classics, even to the point where they want each other to die.

Naturally, there are similar contradictions on the Chinese side, at least there is a certain sense of competition on the part of the army and navy. In fact, every country has a similar situation, but it is not as strict as in Japan.

What Yan Shao expects is that when Jiang Baili and Cai Ye are in their respective positions and have their own positions, even if their friendship with each other is very deep, they will be estranged due to various involuntary reasons...

Even if this purpose is not successful, for Yan Shao, it can be regarded as a success to be able to transfer the two from the positions of chief of general staff and deputy chief of general staff respectively.

As Yan Shao once said, he never doubted the loyalty of the two. Although these two people are not as good as Duan Qirui or Wu Peifu. But two people whose prestige is second only to him and who have a deep friendship are always mixed with him, as a superior person, Yan Shao must take some action...

On the other hand, just when Jiang Baili was still thinking about Yan Shao's purpose at home, a car stopped outside the door. When the next person heard the knock on the door and opened the door, he found that it was Cai Ye standing outside...

Seeing Cai Ye visit in person, Jiang Baili was neither surprised nor did he feel that there was anything wrong. After all, the two are also friends and confidants, and from a certain point of view, if Cai Ye didn't visit after he came back, it would be a suspicious thing...

It's just that even these two people can't think of what Yan Shao's purpose is, they just feel that the power and influence of the two make Yan Shao feel a little uneasy, so they want to transfer the two from their current positions.

Although the two were a little dissatisfied with this, they did not feel inappropriate. Especially Jiang Baili. After all, Cai Ye still has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command in Yekaterinburg, and Jiang Baili can only be regarded as Yan Shao's chief of staff and firefighting captain here, and he does not have any military power under his hands.

What's more, for a long time in the future, I am afraid that there will be no war, whether it is Cai Yi or Jiang Baili, they will fall into the point where heroes are useless. Even if Cai Ye stays in Yekaterinburg, it is just a situation of hard guarding the border, in fact, even if there are some battles, it is just a level of small friction, and any major general can command it.

In this case, it is better to go back to Beijing, at least they can preside over the rectification of the army and air force.

After all, Yan Shao has already said that the army will be expanded next, and the air force will be completely adjusted in accordance with the form of the "Strategic Air Force". In this case, neither Cai Yi nor Jiang Baili will be idle, not like the original―――――― in fact, even if it is true, Cai Ye is much stronger than Jiang Baili. After all, he still has hundreds of thousands of troops under his hands, and he can still hold two exercises when he is bored, but Jiang Baili's words do not have any military power under his hands.

Therefore, whether it was Cai Ye or Jiang Baili, they didn't feel that there was anything wrong. (To be continued......)
