At the beginning of the twentieth century, the European and American powers made the transition from liberal capitalism to imperial capitalism, and the social contradictions accumulated and reached a stage of extensive and irreconcilable development.

Asia, Africa, and Latin America, which had lagged behind for several centuries, had all been carved up and completely reduced to colonies and semi-colonies.

The competing interests between the great powers prompted them to enter the stage of gnawing and fighting each other.

The wife of Archduke Ferdinand of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was on patrol in Sarajevo and was shot dead by a brave and bloody young man of Sylvia.

Germany was very excited and offered to help Austria-Hungary, supporting it in declaring war on Serbia, a small European country. Russia was even more excited, and two days later sent troops to aid Serbia, and Germany now did not have to be the one behind the scenes, and declared war on Russia.

Britain, France, and Italy screamed and bitten like wild dogs that had lost their wies, and the ground was suddenly covered with chicken blood.

In today's Northeast, ghosts and spirits from all sides have gathered, and Japan and Russia have signed an agreement to divide the interests of Northeast China. A number of geological expeditions were dispatched to conduct oil exploration around Daqing, and clashed with local villagers.

The king of the northeast was far-sighted and sensitively aware of the possibility of a major conflict with serious consequences, and secretly ordered his officers and soldiers to be cautious, and to suffer a small loss is to gain a big advantage, hoping to continue to deal with the foreign powers.

The revolutionary army in the south was like a lit torch, and its light spread rapidly across the land of China, and their slogan was to crusade against the old warlords led by the king of the northeast and maintain the constitutional integrity of the Republic of China.

Before the Crown Prince came to power, Japan began a large-scale disarmament due to international pressure and the imminent exhaustion of domestic resources. After the disarmament and the reduction of salaries, their position was greatly threatened. The most infuriating thing is that even the hotels are no longer willing to accept guests in military uniforms.

Soldiers from all over the country have set up some intensive associations, such as the Heavenly Sword Party, the Sakura Club, and the Yixi Society, hoping to expand the existing business scope of the military and seek a better future for everyone.

The moment when the soldiers are popular is the time of war, there is no war to create a war, after the easy acquisition of Taiwan and Qingdao, they are actually particularly dissatisfied, then the next target is the three eastern provinces of China, even if there is no fuse, to create a fuse, even if there is no oil can be for something else.

The younger brother, who has been a little brother for more than a thousand years, and Japan, who has studied China thoroughly, sacrificed the banner of the Manchu imperial family, and they wanted to summon the soul of a regime that had been dead for more than ten years. And sent an envoy to invite the retired Manchu emperor to the northeast.

Their reasons seem so abundant, the land of the Northeast is the property of the Manchu imperial family, and righteous words are taken for granted.

The situation has developed so far, and the whole situation is like a gasoline drum in a hot environment, which will explode at any time, and then burst into flames, shocking the earth.

Apricot said, this is inescapable, no matter what good things we have, land or cattle and sheep, they will come to rob it, since this is the case, why can't we take out oil, oil can quickly catalyze the development of industry, so that the whole country has a stronger ability to resist blows.

The eldest prince's wife said:

"The daughter of the Zhang family is young and only loves to play."

If they continue to be together that day, they may come to a new conclusion:

"The daughter of the Zhang family is young and only loves to eat."

Or they might say:

"The daughter of the Zhang family is really arrogant, rewarding those unstable elements like a play, and she said some inexplicable things in total."

Zhang Meixi probably worked harder than they did, and every day when she returned to the hotel, she would study the latest telegrams and the like, and the newspapers did not need to be read, and most of the news was also controlled. People who get their news from the newspapers feel that the situation is calm.

During the day, Zhang Meixi went to visit the places of interest in Shenyang. The Liao River is beautiful and clear, and a bright new music culture has been created a long time ago.

The temples with Manchu, Han and Mongolian characteristics are full of incense, whether they are dignitaries or ordinary citizens, their greatest wish is peace, health, and happiness and joy for their families together.

Zhang Meixi was wearing a simple blue short shirt and long skirt, swaying in the golden autumn sun, with a cool atmosphere like lotus pond leaves. When I go back to the hotel in the evening, I always have to take a little time to see the moon. The moon sprinkled a clear glow, and in the middle of the autumn night, the coolness gradually rose, and the eldest lady seemed to be able to spread heat, from warm to slowly hot.

History is always made up of countless moments, the long river rolls, the waves rise and fall, those water droplets become waves, those water droplets flow quietly, all of which are ever-changing and unpredictable.

The moment when the fuse was lit finally came, and the cause was actually the "fallen dragon". It is a magical event that has been reported countless times in the newspapers, and this time it happened in the "Wicker Lake" on the outskirts of Shenyang.

Wicker Lake was originally just a simple small village, guarding a willow-shaped lake, the village is not very rich, it is a large area of shantytowns, this village has existed for about a few hundred years, originally there were only a few families, a wilderness, in the past twenty or thirty years due to the addition of immigrants slowly have some scale, they live in the characteristics of immigrants of the rapid shantytowns.

There is a Japanese-built South Manchurian Railway nearby, and its role can be ignored because there is no platform.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wicker Lake has been sunny and has not rained. One day in the middle of the night, they heard thunder in the sky, and the villagers didn't pay much attention to it, and the next morning, they found a huge creature by the lake. The length is about ten meters, the body is a person hugging thick, and the head is like a bull's head magnified several times.

Fallen Dragon!

Because it was a suburb of Shenyang, the people from all walks of life who heard the news came very quickly, and one of them was a group of representatives of the Manchu imperial family, who first wept bitterly for a while, and then mobilized large trucks to transport the "fallen dragon" away and release it back into the great river.

The local villagers are actually a bit tough, they don't get any benefit, of course they are not happy, the villagers gathered, brandished shovels and ploughs, their slogan is very simple:

"The Dragon Lord is from our family!"

In the chaos, several royal stewards were killed, and more than a dozen villagers were killed and wounded.

The Japanese troops stationed on the railroad believed that they were the masters of the land and that the time had come for the Manchurian imperial family to administer justice, and they gathered their troops and captured a nearby Northeast Security Corps-level battalion.
