Many years ago, Gu Weijun always felt that Wang Xueqian and Hu Shi were very awkward friends. From his perspective on these two people, the former should be very pragmatic, at least in his performance, while the latter was very unreliable. This does not mean that Wang Xueqian must be more accomplished and capable than Hu Shi. This evaluation was viewed by Gu Weijun from the perspective of completely different personalities. Wang Xueqian was relatively more rational, while Hu Shi was completely emotionally impulsive. Of course, even if the personality scores are the same, Wang Xueqian is still much better than Hu Shi. Because although the latter is emotional, he cannot break free from the prison of the world, so looking at Hu Shi's chicness, it seems to be artificial. But when he walked into Wang Xueqian's daily life again, he felt that he was wrong. These two people are completely like-minded bad friends, and their differences in personality are almost unrecognizable. "Zi Gao, you said you are very busy, and this is what you are busy with?" "Planes are a rare thing. People in the Republic of China have rarely seen them. In this naval battle, airplanes can become famous in one fell swoop. Of course, people hope to see the power of the rise of the Republic of China. Of course, it is impossible for military aircraft to appear in the sky above Shanghai. I have asked the aviation school to prepare an aerobatic demonstration team. We will use the training aircraft to form a small-scale performance formation and look for opportunities to practice in the sky above Shanghai. During festivals "Wang Xueqian said very seriously, there was no such thing as the garrison in Hongkou, the heroic talk of annihilating the British fleet in the Yangtze River Estuary, and even the bit of domineering Gu Weijun said he didn't notice it. In Gu Weijun's view, airplanes are not meant for food or clothing, that is, they can only be used for sneak attacks. It is a bit of a fantasy to rely on this method to help the Republic of China rise. Besides, Yanjing also has an airport and a flight school with more than 20 aircraft. This was developed during the Yuan Shikai period. But the people of Forty-Nine City have never seen their own aircraft formations flying over the city in groups? This is not a folk dragon dance team, nor is it a street lion dance team. It is a national weapon and a tool of war. When will cannons be used as parade floats in groups on the streets? Not doing his job properly, these four words of evaluation were immediately thrown at Wang Xueqian's head. Fortunately, Gu Weijun was here to do things, not to fight. Although he was not satisfied with Wang Xueqian's approach of banging his hammer in the east and hammer in the west: "Yang Sir is here!" "Brother Shaochuan, please come in. This is your acquaintance." "Gu Shaochuan?" "Mr. Yang!" Yang Du was a celebrity in the presidential palace during Yuan Shikai's time, but he, Gu Weijun and Tang Shaoyi. There is no friendship, just acquaintance. However, in Yanjing at that time, the couple would usually be called by their surnames for easy identification. Yang Du had a very upright attitude during this period. He believed that Wang Xueqian was testing him Well, paranoid people always have enough reasons to convince themselves. For example, he is now reduced to the desolate life of being the butler of a former gangster leader and a newbie in the political world. But he was not discouraged. He firmly believed that all of this was a test given by Wang Xueqian, but in fact, Wang Xueqian had no intention of testing Yang Du at all. Because a counselor who pursues the art of emperors has an almost crazy motive. If he thinks that at a critical moment, when the master of his plan is unable to act arbitrarily, he will stand up at this moment Don't look at Yang Du now as a good gentleman. With such a look, he might one day jump out and become a monster. However, Yang Du did not come here to make his presence known, but came to Wang Xueqian with real matters: "This is a proposal from the government. In order to support the construction of the Air Force, the municipal government decided to issue an aviation lottery in Shanghai to raise funds for the Air Force." "Have you all verified it?" "If we draw four lottery draws a month, we can prepare 300,000 yuan of construction funds for the Air Force every month. Although this is not a big income, it can be a steady stream and can also solve the Air Force's funds. Part of the problem." Yang Du smiled naturally and didn't think there was anything wrong with issuing lottery tickets to prepare air force funds: "This is the method proposed by Mayor Du. I think there is room for manipulation." "It is tilted with military funds. Although this method can solve part of the Air Force's funding problem, it is not a long-term solution. Let me think about it. "It seems good to have the funds to build ten existing aircraft in a month." Wang Xueqian read the document carefully and told Yang Du that he would treat it with caution. And Yang Du didn't look like he wanted to ask for a cup of tea from Wang Xueqian. He stood up coolly, waved his sleeves and left, showing indescribable freedom and detachment. Even Gu Weijun, who saw it, couldn't explain how strange it was. Yang Du was mysterious to him, especially when he looked at Yang Du, who was not tall. Why did he give off the illusion of greatness in every move? ! Yes, he firmly believed this was wrong.?. But then Gu Weijun became uneasy again: "Zigao, what on earth is this airline lottery?" Wang Xueqian was also dissatisfied with the other party and handed the proposal brought by Yang Du to Gu Weijun. The document was extremely simple, and it was to absorb private funds according to the lottery method. , part of which is distributed in the form of bonuses, and the other part is used as funds for the development of the aviation industry. Wang Xueqian could accept it calmly and even nodded because he didn't think there was anything unreasonable in it. However, Gu Weijun was extremely angry: "The government can't start with this, it's bad governance, and it will inevitably lead to the loss of government credibility." Collapse." Gu Weijun almost dismissed the proposal as a slanderous rumor. This contrast in recognition made him impulsive. "It's not that serious, right?" Wang Xueqian suddenly realized that it was not appropriate for him to discuss this issue with Gu Weijun, and smiled: "Brother Shaochuan, you won't talk to me about how to govern the place when you come here, right?" Gu Weijun was stunned, he felt Wang Xueqian's body was full of flaws, and he was an inferior swordsman. But the strange thing is that this guy's internal strength is amazing, and he has reached the point where he has no tricks to win. Under his governance, Zhejiang stood out in the Republic of China in just two years. With this ability, no local governor in the Republic of China dared to say that he could do better than Wang Xueqian. "Under Gu Weijun's seemingly casual work attitude, there was a strategy that he didn't understand. He felt that he was off topic. If he continued to discuss policy strategies, his little diplomatic knowledge would be reduced to rubbish by Wang Xueqian with facts. So, Gu Weijun immediately changed the subject and said: "Zigao, I'm afraid you already know the purpose of my coming. Yanjing has been under tremendous diplomatic pressure and is worried that you will make the same mistake again and again. The current situation is very unfavorable to the Republic of China. In addition, when something happens, you have to find a way to solve it. You have a lot of contact with the British. I hope you can tell me the whole story. And your judgment on the British¡¯s next move.¡± ¡°The British Congress has passed a resolution to dispatch. I sent an investigation mission to the Republic of China, called an investigation, but it was actually to evaluate the combat effectiveness of the Zhejiang Army. As for whether there will be any changes, I don¡¯t know.¡± Wang Xueqian just learned about this news. Of course, he didn¡¯t know whether others knew about it. do not care. And it was almost as confirmed in his heart, which really made him sigh in relief. Although he judged that it was unlikely that the British would continue to send troops, he could not stand the British's arrogance and might do something unexpected. Gu Weijun looked at Wang Xueqian in surprise. He was shocked by the other party's grasp of intelligence. He even knew that the British sent an investigation team to the Republic of China? And this result made him feel particularly unreal. Why was he, the foreign minister, not clear about diplomatic relations? He decided to test Wang Xueqian and asked playfully: "I'm afraid you don't know the leader of the investigation team, do you?" "Don't mention it, we met him once in Washington. By the way, Brother Shaochuan, you know him too." Wang Xueqian didn't look like he was lying at all, he just opened his mouth. Gu Weijun wondered: "Do I know him?" "Baron Lee Farrar." "The British Lord of the Admiralty?" "He is the former Lord of the Admiralty. Now there is no stop in the UK. The Communist Party and the Conservative Party are at loggerheads. Ramsay ?Macdonald is a weak government, and his willpower is destined to be unable to support a large-scale war. Of course, if his cabinet member Churchill becomes Lord of the Admiralty, it will be another story. Unfortunately, this unlucky guy has taken the position of Chancellor of the Exchequer. " Wang Xueqian's eloquent appearance made Gu Weijun a little confused. How could this guy be more like the Director-General of Foreign Affairs than him? How can you, a local warlord, know so much about major international events? But he was very surprised. Where did Wang Xueqian's information come from? He didn't know anything about the diplomatic investigation team, but Wang Xueqian found out about it shortly after the British set off. It couldn't be false, right? Gu Weijun asked doubtfully: "Is the news reliable?" Wang Xueqian thought for a while, looking a little guilty, and maybe a little unsure, but soon he calmed down: "Of course." "Are you so confident?" Gu Weijun seemed to see through Wang Xueqian Feeling uneasy in my heart, I thought: This guy won¡¯t be brave, will he? Wang Xueqian smiled proudly, very evilly, like a gangster: "Nonsense, I paid for it." Gu Weijun staggered and said to himself: The state secrets that can be purchased with money belong to the British. Is he so out of luck with such a good thing? "Is the person who bought the information reliable? He didn't mean to defraud you of your money, right?" It is understandable for Gu Weijun to say this. The itinerary of the cabinet minister-level investigation team has been revealed. If it is used by someone with ulterior motives, something will happen. Big earthquake. But Wang Xueqian doesn't think so, because his source of information is very reliable, because it is from the General Office in Shanghai.He wouldn't say who it was from the embassy, ??but he knew that as long as the other party dared to sell him false news, Dai Li would not let him go even if he didn't speak. Inadvertently, a self-confidence that did not seem to belong to Wang Xueqian was forcibly injected into him, making him a hundred times more confident. I saw him holding his index finger and saying mysteriously: "In this world, people should always be in awe of something when they are alive. No one tries to use the most precious things to test the bottom line." Well, Wang Xueqian is very good at being a mafia gangster. The potential of the boss, in short, these words are deeply sinister, but they seem to make sense. And in Shanghai, there was another Japanese who was constantly collecting intelligence in his own way. After all the intelligence was gathered, this stubborn guy decided that war would continue to come to the Republic of China. The British will never let Wang Xueqian's arrogance run rampant in the Yangtze River Basin. It has to be said that Matsui Iwane was very unlucky. At the most critical moment, he did not go to Shanghai to Anqing. The purpose of going to Anqing was to seek cooperation with Sun Chuanfang. In fact, he wanted to control Sun Chuanfang. With the lessons learned from Okamura Neiji, Sun Chuanfang is also very cautious about wooing the Japanese military. If Wang Xueqian makes a mistake and doesn't like him, give him a break. Can he bear it or can't he? The current Zhejiang Army under Wang Xueqian¡¯s command is definitely the first in the Republic of China in terms of combat effectiveness. It is much stronger than it was during the Fuzhou Mutiny. If he really offends Wang Xueqian, he, the governor of Anhui, will probably come to an end. Sun Chuanfang, who was prepared, had an extra thought when receiving Matsui Iwane. Controlling the actions of Matsui Iwane and the people around him, providing him with good food and drink, and sending people to accompany him every day was to cut off the connection between the Japanese and diplomacy. Sun Chuanfang knew what news he was waiting for, it was Shanghai. When the British fleet appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River, he was really excited for a while. It's a pity that the British guy didn't work hard enough and he let it all out, making him happy in vain. As a result, his cooperation with the Japanese military will no longer be able to continue. He found an excuse and said some ambiguous words to fool Matsui Iwane, and asked these Japanese to get on the ship and send them out of the country. Matsui Iwane learned about the naval battle on the ship, which made him very angry. Sun Chuanfang originally gave him a very good impression. To use Neji Okamura's words to describe him, he was an officer with a simple peasant temperament. In Japan, the endurance of farmers is not much worse than that of the Republic of China. This should be a compliment, Matsui Iwane originally thought this way. In general descriptions, Sun Chuanfang should be the kind of good old man who is hard-working, down-to-earth, and tolerant to others. But in fact, it was only at the end of the encounter that Matsui Iwane discovered that the temperament of this guy was that of a farmer, simple and cunning. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that Matsui Iwane was already on the ship to Shanghai at this time. When he arrived in Shanghai, he found out through the chamber of commerce and the embassy what had happened during his absence for half a month. In the complex situation in Shanghai, it was not difficult to collect intelligence, so Matsui Iwane devoted himself to finding information that was beneficial to launching a war. In fact, there was no need for him to search for information in places where there was a lot of information. Many of them were even reported in newspapers. Matsui Iwane, who thought he had found the truth of the matter, secretly boarded a liner directly to Yokohama and left Shanghai on this day. Five days later, he would appear in Tokyo to promote his war theories. And confidently characterized this incident as the second Gengzi Incident and Guihai Incident. Of course, his theory is very powerful. Even a Japanese can't stand it. How can a British person stand it? It¡¯s just that this time the target of his lobbying is a bit troublesome, it¡¯s the Navy! He is in the army. There is an ocean between the Republic of China and Japan. How can we fight without ships? (To be continued.)
