"Your Majesty, at the moment the Protector Army is attacking Sichuan, and according to some information from our intelligence department, we have come to a very shocking conclusion. There are many people who do not understand the importance of the matter of becoming emperor to the country and the nation. ”

Ariga Nagao said as he showed a look of regret on his face.

Yuan Shikai muttered in his heart: "Then you still need to say, just look at the actions of the Protector Army in the southwestern provinces, it is all clear at a glance, and among the generals of the army under his command, there are also people who are dissatisfied, and there are many people who rebel against the Protector Army." It's just that the Japanese are proposing this now, but what are their plans? ”

"Yes! Some ignorant people blindly listen to propaganda and the heresies of those with different aspirations, but they do not know that civil war is the one thing that shakes the foundation of the country the most. ”

"Yes, the emperor, especially if these people with different intentions secretly cooperate with Western countries to betray China's interests, then this matter will be punished very severely, there is a good saying in China, if you want to do it, you must first mess with it. Therefore, these people with different aspirations in the country must be guarded against, Your Majesty! ”

There are He Changxiong's words, which made Yuan Shikai's heart sink.

What he heard from Mr. Araga's words seemed to mean that someone was colluding with Western governments. This matter is not a good thing for Hong Xianchao, who has just been proclaimed emperor on all sides. But Yuan Shikai didn't speak, he just silently pondered what the other party just said, "If you want to do it, you must first mess up".

I don't know why Yuan Shikai suddenly felt that this matter was related to the uproar in the recruitment of Chinese workers in various cities in the past few days. Speaking of this, he felt a little suffocated.

According to his discussions with Nagao Aria, China did not intend to enter the war. After all, it was a war between Western powers, and if China rushed into it, it could incur a big loss of its already weak national strength, and worse, if it was on the wrong side, then China would definitely not be able to afford the problem of reparations after defeat.

And now allowing France, Britain, and the United States to recruit Chinese workers is already a matter of leaning towards the Entente, but there are no absolutes, what if Germany wins this war?

Sure enough, what Nagao Ariga just said was said for this matter.

"Your Majesty, as far as we know, the Mike who recruited Chinese workers this time. Although Prince has an American company and a factory in France, did you know that the president of that company is a Chinese? And according to our investigation, the origin of this Chinese is very suspicious,"

"Chinese? Is it possible that a Chinese can act as the president of an arms company in Europe and the United States, and can get the full support of the military and political sides of Europe and the United States, what does this mean? ”

As a politician, Yuan Shikai doesn't understand the possible problems here, of course not!

Naturally, Yuan Shikai's train of thought immediately put this so-called Mike. The president of Prince is linked to certain political groups in the country, and Mr. Araga's words are confirming his suspicions.

"Your Majesty, according to our intelligence, there are several figures in this company, such as their general manager is Li Shizeng, and Wu Zhihui and Cai Yuanpei are also working in the company. And as far as we know, they are recruiting students in France on a large scale, including some of the state-funded students, and if it looks like they are more of a threat than the domestic national defense army. ”

"Arika-kun, do you mean they have something to do with the League or the Progressive Party?"

(The first release of this book) does not laugh at group A: 35761481; Email: [email protected].

The reason why they are mentioned is that the forces worth mentioning in China are about these two factions. Among them, the Progressive Party is an organization under the leadership of Liang Qichao dedicated to the constitutional monarchy, and Cai Yi is his student and a member of the party, and the actual National Protector Army is made up of Progressives as the backbone.

As for the Chinese Revolutionary Party organized by Sun Yat-sen himself, because it had to swear allegiance to the leader according to its fingers, it now has few members and has no excessive influence on it.

"Yes, Your Majesty, they must have something to do with the domestic turmoil and the international students who are funded by the United States. Otherwise Mike. How could Tang Yunyang, the president of the Prince Company, design those advanced weapons, and how could he use them to please the warring parties in Europe. Your Majesty, if there is a big mess, I'm afraid it's just this Mike. The Prince Company will not really explode until it is successful. ”

"Could it be that Mike. Are these people behind the real operations of the Prince Corporation? ”

Yuan Shikai felt that he couldn't believe this kind of speculation, how many catties these factions had, and he had some bottom in his heart. Will they be able to get the support of the governments of France, Britain, and the United States plus the military? It's impossible, so there's something else going on here.

"Your Majesty, please do not take this matter lightly, as far as we can guess, not only are there people from the domestic faction in it, but it is very likely that the U.S. government is playing a considerable role in it. The vice president of Prince is a Chinese-American Mike. Lang, and their main collaborator was a banker in Boston. So our intelligence department thinks that this Chinese American is playing a very important role in this matter, and I don't think these factions in China would have been involved with American bankers without him. Without the support of these consortia, it would be difficult for them to obtain support from the U.S. government. The opinions of the US government naturally have considerable influence on Britain and France......"

Although the Chinese government of Hong Xianchao did not have the will to participate in the war in Europe, he was naturally no stranger to the war situation and political situation in Europe.

"Britain and France fought desperately with Germany on the European battlefield, and now the only force that has influenced the war is the United States, a government that has been waiting to reap the benefits. Naturally, only their influence could contribute to this what Mike. The expansion of the Prince Company in England and France. ”

Seeing the thoughtful look in Yuan Shikai's eyebrows, Ariga Changxiong felt that his mixed words, including speculation, had played a role, and he was happy to add a few more whips to complete the matter that the prime minister had handed over.

"Now, although the Great Japanese Empire belongs to the Entente faction, in the spirit of sincerity to your Emperor, we have to suggest that you try to stop the development of this company. Of course, we can't stop them from recruiting Chinese workers here, which will have a negative impact on us, so I'm afraid that the domestic article can only be done from abroad. Come to think of it, as long as there is no foreign support, the Protector Army may not be in trouble! ”

This time, Yuan Shikai made up his mind, after all, the attack of the Protector Army is currently the biggest scourge of his Hongxian Dynasty, and the forces supporting him must try to cut it off.
