    "Brother, at this juncture, we can only get rid of Zhang Huzi first. Without this serious worry, we can think about the provinces on the Yangtze River. You and I both know that the taxes from the two rivers will not be collected at all. Since  If Wang Xueqian can't receive it, it's his fault. If he can't receive it, he can't blame us." Wu Peifu gritted his teeth and continued: "The front line is about to see the end, if there are no chips to pile up.  , the final outcome was a small victory at a huge cost to Zhili. But brother, have you ever thought about what to do next year? " Cao Kun was really trembling for no reason.  never thought about.  It¡¯s so frustrating to go through this year after year.  And what about Zhang Zuolin?  The thieves are jumping up and down.  For the Zhili clique, the Zhifeng War consumed more than ten or even twenty years of accumulation.  It also included the fruits of victory in the Zhi-Anhui War. ? But what about Zhang Zuolin?  This old guy found someone who paid for him.  There is no way to drag this war on. No matter how small a country Japan is, it is already a world-class power.  As long as the Japanese draw their guns, will Zhang Zuolin be shortchanged by Fengjun?  The reputation of the three eastern provinces in the Republic of China is not as good as their reputation in the world.  During the Republic of China, the three northeastern provinces were the largest vegetable oil production bases in the world, and their grain output was not much worse than that of the major grain-producing provinces along the Yangtze River.  It would be extremely unfavorable for Zhili to drag on with this situation forever.  "But what if a little thief like Wang Xueqian becomes powerful? This is to rule by crossing the river! If that happens, Wuhan will not be protected. How can we fight with hundreds of thousands of troops without even a decent arsenal?"  The two eyebrows drooped down like silkworms. Cao Kun felt really unsure!  "What are you afraid of!" Is Wu Peifu grateful to Cao Kun?  There must be, and given his character, he will never forget it in this life.  But being a human being cannot just be grateful.  The love of support should be remembered.  But Cao Kun is really not the kind of person to take on big things, and Wu Peifu has been looking down on Cao Kun for a day or two.  This is also the reason why Wu Peifu wants to monopolize the military power. If you are the president, you will treat it as a man who owes you. But don't get involved in military affairs. This is not what you are good at.  Wu Peifu's voice was almost a roar, which made Cao Kun feel unreasonable fear.  "As long as Zhang Huzi is taken down, the Fengtian Arsenal will be ours!" "As long as the big threat of Fengjun is solved, then the internal cleanup will be carried out, and the problem in Shanxi will be solved, then the Taiyuan Arsenal will still be ours!" "The Northern Territory is still ours!"  We are determined to send hundreds of thousands of troops south, and the Hanyang arsenal is still ours!¡± ¡°We have three out of four major arsenals in the Republic of China, so we are still afraid of insufficient weapons and ammunition?¡± ¡­ Wu Peifu yelled in front of Cao Kun, Cao Kun  Kun felt that it made more sense. When Wu Peifu actually reached the peak, the worry in Cao Kun's heart disappeared in an instant, as if being swept by a strong wind.  Seeing that Cao Kun no longer objected, Wu Peifu's tone softened a little: "In one year at most, as long as the situation in the north is stabilized, going south is an inevitable result. By then, no matter how powerful Wang Xueqian is, he will be just a young junior. Zhejiang belongs to the Wang family.  The territory is deeply entrenched, and Fujian is a fool like Li Houji. But Liangjiang and Three Provinces are different. It is difficult to say whether he has the ability to absorb the strength of Liangjiang and Three Provinces. In addition, Sun Chuanfang is not an easy person.  As long as Jiangxi and Anhui unite, it will be enough for Wang Xueqian to have a headache." "As the wise brother said, Wang Xueqian may also see that it is not easy to win the two provinces." "Will Jiangsu be given to him as a sweetener?  Lu Yongxiang is Duan Qirui's confidant, and he might become a disaster if he stays here. " Cao Kun thought about it and found that Wu Peifu was still taller than him.  As for Lu Yongxiang?  Logically speaking, this person is an old subordinate of Cao Kun. Who knows that he is an immature wolf cub, and why he has an irreconcilable relationship with Duan Qirui.  Cao Kun felt sad and painful that his care was eaten by a wolf cub.  "Okay, just do what I said."  Although Wu Peifu and Cao Kun were shouting enthusiastically, only they knew what they were thinking in their hearts.  The boat of friendship has capsized long ago.  Since the "Luoyang Clique" controlled by Wu Peifu has twice the number of troops as the "Baoding Clique" where Cao Kun settled down, Cao Kun has been uncertain.  What also makes Cao Kun very unsure is that he is not good at commanding operations, and he does not have any outstanding generals under his command.  The Cao family Forget it, there is only one Cao Shi in the Cao family?How many nails can he drive?  Cao Kun, who started out as a warlord, may be confused elsewhere, but in terms of strength, he couldn't be more clear.  Cao Kun has already given up on the direct family.  Ever since the day of his sixtieth birthday, Wu Peifu didn't come to congratulate him in person, but just sent a counselor to come over. This shows how far the relationship between the two people has reached?  ??National events, both prosperous and prosperous, are naturally tied together.  But in private?  Old death does not come forward.  The only thing that can bring these old brothers to the same position is the feud with Zhang Zuolin.  Speaking of which, Cao Kun's temperament has become softer and softer in the past two years. It may be because he is getting older. After the sixtieth birthday party, Cao Kun's life has reached an era when he should take care of himself.  In an era where the average age is only around thirty years old, sixty years old is already considered a long life.  ??Chinese men don¡¯t count their birthdays in round numbers. The sixtieth birthday is actually the fifty-ninth birthday.  But that was two years ago.  Nowadays, Cao Kun has long passed his sixtieth year, and his ambitions have basically been exhausted.  Especially in the past two years, Cao Kun was even more suspicious. After his sixtieth birthday, he began to have bad luck, and he seemed to have used up all his good luck.  It was enough to fight Fengjun twice in a row. Within the Zhili clique, he was unable to suppress more and more generals leading troops.  Feng Yuxiang, this is a wolf cub, so forget it if you can¡¯t suppress him; Wang Huaiqing, we are all old brothers, so it¡¯s okay to rely on your elders and betray them; Wu Peifu, isn¡¯t this guy a softie?  He turned a blind eye and passed; But the problem is, he can't even suppress Cao Shizao, so what the hell is this?  You must know that Cao Shizao was his nephew, and he later adopted him because he had no son to act as his heir, so he was no different from his biological son.  Of course, the premise is that he has a biological son.  It didn't exist before, but it exists now.  According to common sense, when an heir encounters his own children, he will definitely suffer.  But the actual situation is that this little brat Cao Shizao controls the family's money, which is terrible.  If you can't surrender, let's forget about the arrogant and powerful generals of the direct line.  Fighting was not Cao Kun's specialty.  But he couldn¡¯t even control his adopted son. Cao Kun was the elder of the two elders, and the family was in trouble. He had long since stopped caring about the government¡¯s affairs.  Even though Cao Kun is a hands-off shopkeeper, he is not very smart, so people call him "Idiot Cao" behind his back.  But he also has advantages, which are even a little brighter than his shortcomings.  Knowing people and making good use of them, he achieved half of it. He had no choice in re-appointing Wu Peifu, but re-employing Gu Weijun allowed the Beiyang government to achieve a breakthrough in diplomacy and achieve unprecedented diplomatic results.  Don't look at Duan Qirui's intelligence and talent, which can surpass Cao Kun, but how can he compare with his political achievements?  Duan Qirui is far behind.  At this point, Cao Kun is simply a model of great wisdom and foolishness.  "There are two great presidents in the Republic of China. Cao Kun may not be the best choice, but he is the best one." After hearing this conclusion, Lin Changmin who came to visit felt very bad, "Cao Kun is a fool."  'Is he the best president of the Republic of China?  This simply overturned all his impressions of Cao Kun.  But Wang Xueqian, who was speaking, ignored Lin Changmin's surprise and Zhang Zaiyang's confusion. Instead, he explained to himself: "I won't talk about the military. This is Wu Peifu's contribution. It can only be evaluated by average results.  , but in terms of diplomacy, Cao Kun did not borrow money, did not cede territory, and did not pay compensation. He even gained the Shandong issue a legal status in the international community through the Washington Conference. In terms of politics, his contribution is not small.  , his achievements are not low. The parliament of the Republic of China has been ill-fated for more than ten years. It has been impossible to become a national institution, but it was accomplished in the hands of Cao Kun. Moreover, the parliament proposed it.  Basically all the proposals were passed by Cao Kun" Wearing a military uniform, although Zhang Zaiyang left the army and entered the government department, he no longer served in the army and lost his rank and badge, but he still felt comfortable wearing the military uniform.  After decades, I have become accustomed to it.  He nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, Cao Kun is indeed not simple." "It's not that it's not simple, but it's too simple!" Lin Changmin said unconvinced: "If there is no parliament, how can he bribe members and elect the president?  " Wang Xueqian clearly rejected Bai Jianwu's request, but he still vaguely felt that the matter was not over: "Cao Kun has a benefit that no other president can match. " " I would like to hear the details!  One advantage is that he usually listens to suggestions that are more reasonable than him. But the problem is that Cao Kun is a person with no independent opinions. It is not difficult to persuade Wu Peifu to get these aircraft.  Make an offer we can¡¯t refuse.¡±nbsp; "What do you think you can't refuse, Governor Wang?" Wang Xueqian smiled bitterly and said, "I'm also thinking about this." Lin Changmin wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, he decided to listen to Wang Xueqian's explanation first.  He came because the Jinhua Airport Manufacturing Factory suddenly received a large number of aircraft manufacturing orders.  As the Minister of Civil Affairs, he is in charge of the province's finance, taxation and other important duties.  If aircraft manufacturers increase production on a large scale, the financial pressure will be great, and military expenditures will not be small.  Originally, I planned to come here to call for a halt, but when I came to Wang Xueqian, I found out that I was directly looking to purchase aircraft, and the quantity was large.  What makes Lin Changmin puzzled is that Wang Xueqian rejected Bai Jianwu's request, but why did he increase aircraft production in such a big way?  Soon, they no longer had to guess. Chen Bulei brought news that Bai Jianwu wanted to interview: "He is already on the train to Hangzhou." "Isn't he afraid of my rejection?" Wang Xueqian sneered, feeling that Bai Jianwu was overconfident.  .  But half a day later, Bai Jianwu¡¯s first words when he saw Wang Xueqian made him understand that Wang Xueqian was confident. At least on this condition, it was really hard for him to refuse: "A hundred planes and two rivers will be yours, Governor Wang."
