    "Why are you panicking?" Wang Xueqian first took a look at Chen Brai, who had a shiny forehead, and felt that Chen Brai still lacked experience in big scenes.  If I had known better, I would have taken him with me to the few high-level banquets in Washington instead of giving him leave to travel.  Scholars pay attention to reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles.  When I went to the United States, I didn¡¯t even experience the customs and customs, which was probably a big loss.  But can you feel American culture in Washington?  You also have to go to big cities like New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Chicago.  After Wang Xueqian said a few words, Chen Brai also felt that he had behaved inappropriately, but he was just a middle school teacher a few years ago I have to say that after following Wang Xueqian, Chen Brai's life began to become richer, but even Chen Brai  His ability to accept is not bad, and he cannot adapt to sudden changes.  He was originally a fire-fighting captain, and his steady and unhurried literary style was his true character.  Suddenly having him cover up these true colors and adapt to different role-playing is really a test of one's adaptability.  Chen Brai said with an apology on his face: "I'm sorry, sir, I lost my temper!" "It's nothing. Don't be surprised when something happens. It doesn't mean that you should be indifferent, but you should be shocked in your heart and don't let others see it. It's big in the hall  Some of them are not from us, but are inextricably linked to the British and Japanese. These people are unreliable in the past, present and future, but they have considerable influence in Shanghai.  , so any actions and reactions we make are not for foreigners to see, but for these people. This is one of the key factors for us to control the political situation in Shanghai." Wang Xueqian said a few words, feeling that Gu Weijun's.  His eyes were a little anxious, and then he softened and said: "Don't be anxious, take your time. In any case, they have no chance of winning, because we are the only masters." Wang Xueqian's confident words made Song Ziwen's eyes light up, this inadvertent expression  The strong self-confidence is very different from the deliberate and bluffing approach.  Able to give silent encouragement to subordinates and followers anytime and anywhere.  The strong self-confidence belongs not only to Wang Xueqian alone, but also to the entire Zhejiang officialdom, people, and even the army, which has penetrated into every corner.  With this confidence, Wang Xueqian dared to go to war with the British. Although the scale of the battle was not large, it was no less thrilling than a life-and-death contest between warlords.  ¡°If a local governor of the Republic of China had ordered his troops to point their guns at foreigners, not to mention whether he had the control, it is estimated that less than half of his troops would have mutinied.  The Republic of China has been afraid of foreigners since the Qing Dynasty. Especially when facing the British, that deep-rooted fear will hang over the entire army.  Only a few armies have the courage to fight foreigners, and any army that dares to fight foreigners, without any other evaluation, is already the first-class elite of the Republic of China.  This is one of the reasons why Cao Kun in Yanjing, Mr. Sun Da in Guangzhou, and even Zhang Zuolin in the three eastern provinces began to fear Wang Xueqian.  With this battle, the Zhejiang Army has elevated itself to the throne of the most elite army of the Republic of China.  There is no doubt about this.  With this battle, Wang Xueqian further consolidated his position as the spiritual leader among the Zhejiang Army.  It is conceivable that in the future, the Zhejiang Army will become his trump card in fighting for the world, and the opposition voices below will probably disappear.  In addition, Wang Xueqian also successfully raised his reputation to the point where it attracted the attention of the cabinets of the great powers' governments. This was also a height that other warlords in the Republic of China could not reach.  With this almost 'big gamble' naval battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Wang Xueqian could be said to have killed three birds with one stone, or even four birds with one stone. Especially the surge in anti-British sentiment in the Republic of China, coupled with the support of the top brass of the local military government and the governors of various places, made  He has political capital that even Mr. Sun Da envies.  Why did Feng Yuxiang want to cooperate with Russia several times, but was rejected in the end?  Character is just a small issue.  But the most important problem is that he does not have the qualifications.  Originally, although there were many governors from various places who supported it, most politicians believed that Wang Xueqian would probably lose his fortune in this huge gamble.  Because history has taught them that the British are not easy to mess with, and the British are desperate to save face and must not be messed with.  But Wang Xueqian won the bet. The moment the British dispatched a diplomatic delegation, he had already won a lot of money.  Song Ziwen watched Wang Xueqian walk towards Gu Weijun calmly and casually, and casually asked the waiter to put down the champagne in his hand.  This kind of magnanimity cannot be matched by anyone in Guangzhou City, and even in the Republic of China, I am afraid that no one can match it.  And he is also a little jealous of Chen Brai. He has watched this man's growth, but in the Republic of China, there is probably no one who can get political wisdom from his superiors step by step than Chen Brai.?Fortunately.  He almost grew up step by step under Wang Xueqian's guidance.  Feeling out of place, Chen Brai smiled awkwardly at Song Ziwen, and then reminded Miss Song San: "Miss Third, you should stay with your husband tonight." "Oh!" I dare not say that Miss Song San is at the banquet tonight.  The most shining female guest, but she feels good about herself and thinks that she must be the best.  It has to be said that Miss Song San is still a little vain. She wears the most popular Paris fashion in recent years and her jewelry is dazzling. She inadvertently raises her slender neck like a peacock competing for beauty, trying to attract the attention of the women around her.  The customers are all compared to each other.  She had already heard many men whispering about her name secretly behind her back, as well as the jealous eyes of female guests.  This made her heart feel like it was burning, full of fighting spirit.  Of course, the only flaw was that the newly sold high-heeled shoes were a bit harsh on her feet, leaving her with a silent feeling of inadequacy.  Of course, how can you wear old shoes at such a high-end banquet?  Wang Xueqian had already started whispering to Gu Weijun, and Huang Huilan also wisely stood with Miss Song San. She, who was no longer young, was standing next to a woman of the most beautiful age, which made her feel repelled.  Women are all vain. This is not their fault, but a woman's instinct.  Looking at Miss Song San with smooth skin, and thinking of the crow's feet on her face, Huang Huilan only had three words in her mind, 'little fairy'!  Fortunately, Miss Song San was not a threat to her. She was the female companion brought by Wang Xueqian. Huang Huilan felt that she had the same hatred for Chen Wanyi.  "Brother Shaochuan, please come forward to receive me in a moment." "Why me?" Gu Weijun didn't understand Wang Xueqian's arrangement, and immediately retorted: "The British are here for your sake, I'm just a foil.  ." These words were said sourly, and those who didn't know thought why Gu Weijun was attracted by Wang Xueqian?  "Brother Shaochuan, you are representing the country. I am just a local official. How can I be qualified to represent the country and preside over diplomatic work? Although Wang is immoral and incompetent, if he really contacts foreign envoys in private, he will become a traitor.  Are you done?" Wang Xueqian said righteously, leaving Gu Weijun speechless.  Gu Weijun said angrily: "When you went to war with the British, did you think about the country? Why didn't you report to the country?" "The battlefield is changing rapidly. Besides, Wang is in charge of his own affairs and has the responsibility to defend the country. I believe President Cao will  I understand! Gu Weijun knows best how Cao Kun reacted when he heard the news about the naval battle at the Yangtze Estuary. He was like a trapped animal in the presidential palace, yelling like crazy!  As a president, it is quite aggrieved to be forced to this point by local officials.  Cao Kun also experienced the biggest diplomatic crisis in his presidential career.  The key is that he didn't do anything, it was simply a disaster that fell from the sky.  With Wang Xueqian¡¯s current strength, let alone Cao Kun, who has weak control, even Duan Qirui will be defeated on stage.  The only difference is that Duan Qirui has more means than Cao Kun and will cause greater trouble to Wang Xueqian.  Gu Weijun looked at Wang Xueqian's serious look and said with some humor: "How can I put it this way, you can accept the negotiation results that I and the other party agreed on!" "The terms related to Zhejiang, Shanghai and Fujian need my approval." Wang Xueqian was shameless.  His appearance is definitely unique among the politicians of the Republic of China.  Of course, Gu Weijun was not angry, but felt that Wang Xueqian was too blunt and did not give him any face.  The only time that allowed him to lose face was when he had to bear the risk of taking the blame.  "Okay, I'll leave it to you. I don't have anything to say. But Zigao, you should tell me how to express your position in today's diplomatic situation, right?" Gu Weijun asked tentatively, and he was also worried in his heart.  With a small calculation.  Although it is not clear whether it coincides with Wang Xueqian's, you must always consider the master's reaction.  "Today is a banquet. We are not talking about politics, but friendship!" "Friendship!" Pfft Even the two women behind him knew that there was absolutely no friendship to talk about between Wang Xueqian and the British.  But Wang Xueqian opened his eyes and talked about friendship with the British. How could the British accept such a shameless thing?  Gu Weijun said heartily: "Your friendship with the British is to annihilate a small British fleet at the mouth of the Yangtze River? When both sides want to strangle each other, you tell the British 'for friendship'. What do you think the British will think?"  "But at this time Wang Xueqian explained: "It doesn't mean that you are already a friend! If you are not a friend, you can't talk about friendship? You must know that communication and mutual understanding are needed to create a deep friendship.  The same is true between Zhejiang and the UK because of the lack of communication bridges.There was some unpleasant friction.  In order to avoid past mistakes and avoid future ones, I believe that establishing a communication mechanism that both sides agree on and in-depth exchanges at the economic, cultural, and technical levels are the basis for maintaining good international relations, because we should remind the British that the Republic of China and the United Kingdom lack a basis for mutual trust and need to  The establishment of a more comprehensive communication mechanism to exchange what is needed can establish a relationship of mutual trust.  " "You" Gu Weijun suddenly sighed, looked at Wang Xueqian strangely, and said feebly: "I think you are more suitable to be the Minister-General of Foreign Affairs than me?  " "This is the power of role models. I used to be your subordinate!  "Wang Xueqian said with a smile. It's true to say that he was once the deputy minister of foreign affairs. As the chief, Gu Weijun is not an exaggeration to say he is his boss. But the relationship between the deputy minister of foreign affairs and the chief minister is generally that of colleagues, not simply  The relationship between superiors and subordinates is serious. Gu Weijun said with a smile: "I can't afford to be flattered.  But you are really lucky this time. Everyone thought that the British came to China again with a powerful fleet, but unexpectedly it was a diplomatic delegation sent by the cabinet.  Wang Xueqian smiled at this question and did not discuss it with Gu Weijun in depth. Because this has already involved the analysis process of the think tank, from the perspective of economics, diplomacy, and even the analysis of changes in the internal political situation in the UK. This kind of think tank  , not even Cao Kun. But Wang Xueqian has set up a framework. Although it cannot be studied in depth at this stage, the British economic crisis last year and the British debt crisis the year before last may not be able to make the decision to launch a large-scale war.  Gu Weijun is not clear about this, but Wang Xueqian can occasionally obtain information through Pan American Consortium, Citigroup and other channels, because these consortiums analyze the economic conditions of major European and American economies and use them as a data basis to control the scale of investment.  After systematic analysis, we can get surprising results. For example, the price of agricultural products in the United States has been maintained at a very low price. Especially in the past two years, the food industry has become the most controlled by the Food Administration and the U.S. Department of Commerce.  One of the industries with no future. But if you analyze these data, you can find that as industrialization deepens and a large number of machines enter traditional agricultural production, the demand for the American agricultural population will be greatly reduced. But for small-scale farms,  But it is facing a crisis of massive bankruptcies. This is already a very serious problem for a country¡¯s economic structure. But the social problems caused by the continued low price control of food in the United States are far less serious than the strikes that occurred in the United Kingdom last year.  . Because this is a rare strike wave that has spread across the United Kingdom. The reason is that the United Kingdom has not stopped its military operations after the European War. From Ireland to Australia, as well as Africa and West Asia the United Kingdom is sending more troops.  The military. Because these areas have been moving away from British control, and some places have even launched wars. The anti-war sentiment in the UK is so serious that the cabinet is walking on thin ice. Once the British people know that Britain will also launch a war in the Republic of China, this war will be more serious.  When it is not possible to solve the problem with 100,000 or 200,000 troops one can imagine what changes will happen within the UK. Will there be another strike that shakes the UK's muscles and bones? Or will it change the cabinet and continue to be stuck in the quagmire?  Go down? Gu Weijun didn¡¯t know that the British had bad cards, but Wang Xueqian knew that, and of course Baron Lee Farrar, who was the plenipotentiary for the negotiations, also knew that in the car outside the bank association gate, he also frowned, holding a cigar because  He didn't smoke for a long time and it was already extinguished. Looking at the brightly lit main building of the Bank Guild not far away, he unexpectedly said to Lord Lapson beside him: "Shall we go down and take a walk?  " "Okay, Your Excellency!  "Lord Lapson was slightly startled. He was one of the main members of the diplomatic delegation that rushed to the Republic of China from the UK with Baron Lee Farrar. He was well aware of the magnitude of the responsibility that Baron Lee Farrar bore. Because of the cabinet's requirements,  Face is very important, and the British government must have a justifiable outcome. (~^~)
