After a day and a night of heated discussions, the Baath Party's top brass finally came up with a set of effective plans.

1. Reject the unreasonable demands of the Germans, but do not exclude the preparations after the Germans have made concessions.

Second, continue to vigorously produce orders placed by European countries, train more industrial workers, and the industrial upgrading group led by Zhao Xuechu was formally established, which will upgrade and transform major industrial and mining enterprises, and invest in the construction of domestic technology industries at all costs.

Within half a year, the army of the Baath Party will reach 600,000 troops worthy of the First World War, which means that Li Jinxu of Jiujiang, Jiang Zhongqi of Anshan, and others will have to restore the structure of the Xinhai Revolution, and many veterans who have entered other industries will also be recalled to participate in restorative training.

Fourth, the major arsenals under the Baath Party are running at full capacity, satisfying orders from European countries and enriching their arsenals at the same time.

Fifth, the Baath Party representatives lurking in all parts of the country began to wake up and operate, vigorously infiltrating the Beiyang Army and officials at all levels, with Mukden, Wuchang, Jinan, and Jiangning as the focus, which means that if the Baath Party is launched, the south of the Yangtze River will no longer be owned by Beiyang, and the northeast must also be won by the Baath Party.

Sixth, strengthen the public opinion offensive, hit Beiyang and President Yuan's prestige among the people, and reduce the resistance to the north.

7. Unite all the forces that can be united, carry out a strict combing in the areas under the jurisdiction that we now occupy, eliminate or bring the forces in Beiyang into the monitoring, and make the management of the countryside more detailed, so that the enemy will not have Confucius to drill.

8. Vigorously introduce qualified personnel, no matter what kind of talent it is, no matter what country it is, as long as it is a talent rejuvenation party.

9. Buying up technology that the Baath Party lacked in industry, and now that there are a large number of orders from Europe, the Baath Party's finances can be regarded as relieving.

The plan has been decided, and everyone has a clear division of labor, so they go their own way.

Chen Xuan's job is to make overall plans and coordinate the development of all aspects, and the other is to work with the consuls of various countries, participate in various banquets, and do not do a few things, but he has met many people he didn't know before.

From time to time, Chen Xuan will also go to major universities to give speeches, encouraging students from major universities to study hard and contribute to the cause of the country and the nation in the future.

Since Chen Xuan came to this era, he has attached great importance to education, whether it is a worker or a soldier, must be educated, in the whole of China, if there are workers or soldiers with knowledge, Chen Xuan said second, absolutely no one dares to call the first, not even Xiao Jin's command.

After these years of development, Chen Xuan's efforts have finally paid off, some of the students sent to study abroad have gradually returned to China, and various targeted laboratories have also been established, among which Chen Xuan attaches the most importance to the computer laboratory, radio communication laboratory and atomic energy laboratory, these three laboratories are also the most expensive.

Of course, Chen Xuan did not expect these laboratories to come up with any earth-shattering research results, especially the research of computers and atomic energy, which should not be thought about for three or two decades, but he could not ignore them because he could not see the results for the time being.

"Ah Sheng, what is Xiao Jin doing now?"

In the backyard of Xuan Garden, Chen Xuan, Zhao Xuechu, Gu Weijun and Du Yuesheng finally took some time to drink tea and chat in the thatched pavilion, and their wives and children frolicked and played on the lawn.

"At the end of June, Xiao Jin's army has completely occupied Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos, and the army has also marched into Siam (Thailand), but Siam was originally a buffer zone left by Britain and France, after Xiao Jin's army entered, the British couldn't sit still, the two were negotiating in Siam, Xiao Jin also formally established the Great Qin State in May, saying that he wanted to unify the language and culture, it seems that he wants to be the contemporary Qin Shi Huang, hehe!"

"Don't the French trouble him?"

Zhao Xuechu asked curiously.

"Looking for it, why don't you look for it? However, the French army can't do Xiao Jin, and now Xiao Jin's prisoner of war camp is still locked up in thousands, and it is reported that they have all been pulled to build roads and open mines, and the French only have some warships left, and they sneak attack Xiao Jin's coastal cities from time to time, but Xiao Jin is not in vain, haven't we stolen his submarine technology, this kid's submarine is good, he sank several French warships, and now the French are out of line, and the British are pulled to impose trade sanctions on Xiao Jin. ”

"By the way, Brother Xuechu, didn't we exchange penicillin technology with Xiao Jin, and now we have studied it?"

"We have fallen on Xiao Jin's big deal in this matter, and the research has been studied, but the separation technology is not mature, and the output is very small, which can be called gold, but the efficacy is really good, Dr. Shi (Shi Meiyu) and Dr. Wu (Wu Liande) are very appreciative of this drug, and our submarines have also been officially put into service, and now there are 12 of them, and the supporting fish technology has also been overcome, which is really a big killer!"

"It's not foolish, the research of new technologies takes time, I studied military affairs, and the vast majority of those who died on the battlefield were wounded soldiers who died of infection, if there was it, how many fewer people would die! What's more, Xiao Jin didn't hide it, because we ourselves have no ability and can't complain about others. ”

"How are the negotiations between Beiyang and the Germans?"

"President Yuan sent Lu Zhengxiang, the chief of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the German and Austrian governor-general in Qingdao, Mr. Maier. Wadeck negotiated in Qingdao, but the gap between the two sides was too big to negotiate, Britain and Japan also continued to put pressure on Beiyang, and domestic public opinion was boiling again, and President Yuan's life was not easy. ”

The people present fell silent, there are too many such scenes in Chinese history, Li Hongzhang, Yuan Shikai, Lu Zhengxiang and later He Yingqin, etc., are they born to want to betray the country? Chen Xuan didn't know, and he didn't want to evaluate, but what he could know was that they didn't have a choice, even if they didn't sign these treaties, someone had to sign them, but the traitor had changed his name.

"Didn't Shaochuan (Gu Weijun) say that if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and since President Yuan is the leader of the country, he must have the consciousness of being scolded!"

Du Yuesheng said nonchalantly.

Time does not stand still because of anyone's emotion, and the time to come has finally come.

July 28, 1914.

Austria-Hungary because of Crown Prince Franz. The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand declared war on Serbia and the outbreak of World War I.

And the people of the whole of Europe would not have thought of the harm that this war would bring to the country and the people, and that millions of people would die because of this war, and countless civilizations would be destroyed.

"Yiyang, the German consul is here, he agrees to our proposal to buy the German ocean-going fleet, and hands over the Qingdao and Jiaoji lines to us!"

"These bastards, what's the use of agreeing at this time? We can't do it in a month just by rushing to Qingdao, Jiaozhou Bay is covered with Japanese water. Thunder blocked, let's go over like this? ”

Chen Xuan jumped like thunder, these German devils are really not a thing, now that the dust has settled, are you scared? But it's too late, not to mention that the Baath Party has already decided not to intervene in this matter, and even if it is ready to intervene, it will not be too late, when the war is a joke?

More than 50,000 people of the 18th Division of the Japanese commander Mitsutomi Kamio completed training and assembly a month ago, and their own navy is inferior to others, and Jiaozhou Bay is blocked, how to take over Qingdao?

"Tell the Germans that if it's late, we can immediately receive several warships of the Germans in Shanghai that were watched by the British and French, but the price is only one-third of the usual, they can sell it if they want to, even if they don't sell it, in addition, we also want the transfer agreement of the Jiaoji line, we can promise the personal and property safety of the German Navy in Shanghai!"

"Yes, I'll tell them right away!"

Gu Weijun hurriedly ran away again.

"Zu Tao, call Deputy Commander Wang (Deputy Commander of the Navy Wang Xuefu), the warship is in a wartime state, ready to receive the ships and docks parked by the Germans in Shanghai at any time, and let Sun Hongye order the whole army to be on alert and enter a state of first-class combat readiness, no matter which country interferes with our ships to receive Germans, we will hit them back fiercely, notify the top level of the Baath Party, and hold a meeting immediately!"

"Yes! Commander in chief! ”

The Germans finally bowed their heads, they also knew that their ships would not be able to sail the Huangpu River at all, and they would be sunk by the British, even if the British had not declared war and let them out of Shanghai, they would not want to go back to Germany, it would only increase unnecessary casualties and not benefit.

The Germans did it more thoroughly than Chen Xuan imagined, not only selling 15 warships and dockyards to Chen Xuan, but also transferring merchant ships to Chen Xuan at a low price. All the public property of the government in Shanghai is also entrusted to Zhenhua Group, or it is sold directly to Zhenhua at a price, and Zhenhua will deduct it with various materials.

Chen Xuan's order, the whole Pudong moved, 30,000 elite troops drove to the bank of the Huangpu River, built fortifications, built forts, and made preparations to pounce on Puxi at any time, Wang Xuefu's 36 warships also fully armed into the Huangpu River, from time to time there were Baath fighter formations flying over, the winged flying tiger symbol is the best proof.

The consuls of various countries were blinded by Chen Xuan's big move, and they all asked to see Chen Xuan to find out the reason why Chen Xuan sent troops, Chen Xuan's army is not a joke, there is no shortage of weapons and equipment, and the degree of advancement is compared to the elite of Europe, as long as Chen Xuan is willing, there is no force in the whole Shanghai that can stop this army.

Before the consuls of various countries could react, the German consul and Gu Weijun held a grand press conference in the public concession, and the German consul announced the sale of the warships and merchant ships and various assets left by Germany in Shanghai to Zhenhua Group.

Now everyone understands that Chen Xuan does not want to go to war, but to deter by force and make a profit, but no one is sure that Chen Xuan, a madman, will be as crazy as Cixi and really enter the concession, and it will be too late to cry at that time.

Chen Qimei also handed over the Wusong Fort to Chen Xuan, and a large number of coastal defense artillery were pulled up to the Wusong Fort that had been built a long time ago.
