The chicken got up early in the morning before it crowed, and the body that flew from Shanghai to Cangzhou would also feel tired, and fell asleep immediately on the soft bed. In the dream, his body sank, slowly dipped into the fragrant liquid. The scent penetrated his skin to his bone marrow, like green smoke entwining. The liquid began to solidify, and he tried to struggle but couldn't move a finger. He was frozen in resin, slowly rising like a transparent piece of amber.

The vast universe, the bright stars suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, the stars slid in front of his eyes, the red emitted dazzling like the sun, the size of the white dwarf star as much as one-tenth of the size of the earth, the huge suction made his body feel shaking in the amber, the blue planet he tried to observe half green and half blue, not the earth. The stereoscopic image of the Earth has been seen N many times, and it is definitely not like this.

The lumps of amber led him as fast as he approached the blue planet, which was covered with huge transparent pipes that connected large pyramid-shaped buildings. With gravity-defying cars driving through the air and huge atomic reactors towering around the pyramids, the planet's civilization is hundreds of streets away from the civilizations of its later generations. Could it be that I am going to cross again, this time to be crossed? Hu Wenkai was scared, if he crossed over to this planet, he could only ask for food.

A large number of humans were transported through the giant pipe, and lumps of amber and Hu Wenkai shuttled above the pipe, each carrying the same small box in the pipe. One of them drew a five-pointed star on the upper part of the suitcase with his hand, and the box opened automatically, and a three-dimensional picture was presented, and his fingers clicked back and forth on the screen, and the three-dimensional information kept changing.

Nima is the light brain in science fiction, could it be that this planet is already in the interstellar age of great exploration. Ahead are huge buildings, and space shuttles are suspended in the airport. A space shuttle flew out of the bottom of a blue light and went straight into the sky, the block of agate followed closely behind him, flying at the speed of light felt dead and regretless, meteorites floating in space grazed by, and a dark hole not far ahead, where the light was distorted and emitted brilliant colors.

Could this be the legendary wormhole, feeling that he was stretched, shaking and imprisoning the agate block on his body was falling off, he shouted, isn't the agate block falling off naked in space, his eyeballs will burst, he will burst and die.

Sun Xiaolan shook him in front of the bed: "Boss, what are you dreaming about, you are covered in sweat." ”

Nima is still here, and he laughs happily when he thinks of this. Dragged the pillow towel to wipe the sweat on his head, and then carefully looked at the room. The carved bed has a greasy scent and a deep amber frame. No wonder it was amber wrapping around me in the dream just now, and I can't be sure if it's a dream, after all, I also crossed over.

"Wu Peifu has arrived?"

"It's already here, Teacher Liang Qichao said to let you meet first, they don't have anything to say today." Sun Xiaolan carried a thermos to help him pour the washing water.

"How many people does Wu Peifu bring?" Hu Wenkai needs details, bringing fewer people shows that he is at ease, and bringing more people means being wary.

"Brought a company of guards, but only a few guards with them when they entered the city. I guess he is very relieved about the boss, but I can't be sure that no one can say for sure about the psychology of politicians, and he can't analyze it from the surface. Sun Xiaolan twisted a hot towel and handed it to Hu Wenkai.

"Well, too. In a moment, you will be outside to guard me, and no one is allowed to approach. ”

"Don't worry, boss, I've already arranged it."

Hu Wenkai wore dark blue trousers, a white cotton shirt on his upper body, an M1911 pistol diagonally inserted at his waist, and half-high-top combat boots, carrying a briefcase and following Sun Xiaolan into the reception room of the governor of Cangzhou.

A very ordinary reception room, with two long tables and a few wooden chairs, on which a thick felt cloth was spread, two ashtrays, two teacups, two thermoses, fruit in the middle of the table, three or four packs of cigarettes.

After a while, Sun Xiaolan walked in and reported: "Boss, Wu Peifu has arrived at the door, you go out to greet you." ”

Wu Peifu walked into the courtyard in a military uniform and carrying a briefcase sent by Carrota in his hand, Hu Wenkai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Uncle is far away, please forgive my nephew for not going out of the city to greet him." ”

"Wen Kai, are you polite with your uncle, you have to go out of the city to greet you for a while, and Cao Kun will know that you have arrived in Cangzhou." Wu Peifu looked at his nephews who surprised him one after another.

Hu Wenkai took Wu Peifu's briefcase and welcomed him into the conference room, Sun Xiaolan closed the door from the outside, and found a bench to sit in the middle of the courtyard.

Hu Wenkai made a cup of tea and handed it to Wu Peifu, opened a pack of cigarettes and put it on the table.

Wu Peifu stopped him from continuing to serve and said, "Wen Kai doesn't need to be busy, let's talk about it with our uncle and nephew." ”

"Uncle, Wen Kai licked and blocked you, and this time Cao Kun is probably more wary of you."

"Since last year, he hasn't reassured me, and it's not a day or two to release me, you can rest assured that your uncle can handle this. It's just that I didn't enter the Northeast to bring down Zhang Zuolin, I'm really unwilling, it's my uncle who is sorry for my nephew. Wu Peifu let out a sigh from his abdomen.

"Uncle, although not entering the Northeast did not achieve our goal, it is also a good thing at this stage, and I don't know who will fall into the hands of the Northeast when we lay down the Northeast. It is very likely that we will spend a lot of money to make a wedding dress for someone else, and we will leave it for a year or two. ”

"Wen Kai, the United States and France proposed a one-year truce, and expressed their dissupport for Britain and Japan's proposal to repatriate prisoners of war, is it your ghost?"

"Uncle, this is my request to the United States and France, a one-year truce is not a complete truce, we can have an excuse to enter the Northeast at any time, and the non-repatriation of prisoners of war is to cut off the ability of the Feng army to counterattack, more than 100,000 prisoners of war are repatriated, Zhang Zuolin will immediately get more than 100,000 troops, and he will get the help of the Japanese to launch an attack on North China at any time."

"Wen Kai, have you thought about it, how much food do hundreds of thousands of soldiers need every day, and it is estimated that it will not be able to last for a few more months. When the time comes, he doesn't want these soldiers, and we will have to repatriate them. Wu Peifu looked at Hu Wenkai with a cigarette, and he knew that Hu Wenkai must have a solution.

"Uncle, this is not a problem, you directly told the captured soldiers that Zhang Zuolin abandoned them, did not want to exchange life and death with Rehe, ignored their life and death, and let the soldiers' families redeem the soldiers with twenty yuan, fifty yuan for the platoon commander, and one hundred yuan for the company commander. As long as the soldiers who go back, they will definitely hate Zhang Zuolin to the core. ”

"Isn't this scolded, aren't you letting your uncle bear the infamy?"

"Uncle, you don't need to do this, let the government do it, isn't Li Yuanhong sitting on the throne of the president, let him send someone to operate, if he doesn't do it, let him pay to support these prisoners of war."

"Well, Wen Kai's method is good, although it takes a little effort, it still works, but there are not too many people who can redeem their families, and there are at least tens of thousands of people left."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will let people select tens of thousands of people to work in Jiangsu, and there is no such good thing in the world if you don't work and eat. And uncle, you try your best to select soldiers from this batch of captives to supplement your team, Cao Kun is unreliable, and he will attack if his fists are not hard. Take this change of hexagram as an example, the uncle must have three divisions in his hands, I estimate that he will not dare to change the hexagram if he gives him ten guts. ”

Wu Peifu pondered, thinking in his heart that he still underestimated his nephew, and solved the prisoner of war matter in three words. It is urgent to expand his own strength, but his unscrupulous expansion of the army will inevitably deepen Cao Kun's suspicions.

Hu Wenkai knew what his cheap uncle Wu Peifu was thinking, and he had the heart to remind him, but he was afraid that he would not be able to save face, so he finally broke the silence.

"Uncle, you don't need to set up a new division or anything to expand your strength, just expand your third division."

"Well, how to say it."

"You can increase each squad to 20 people, each battalion to add a guard company, each regiment to an independent battalion, each brigade to an infantry regiment directly under it, an artillery brigade and a communications regiment to the division headquarters plus a cavalry regiment. Nominally one division is actually equivalent to three divisions. Even if he Cao Kun knew, he didn't have anything to say. ”

"You little rabbit has a lot of ideas, well, I'll deploy this when I go back. What are you doing with so many officers? ”

"Hehe, uncle, army soldiers are easy to train, but officers are not something that can be trained in a year or two. It is useful for me to arrest these people, and this is related to the fact that we will enter the Northeast in the future, and my nephew will keep it secret for the time being. "This matter is very important, and Hu Wenkai has to keep it secret.

"Okay, uncle won't ask you, what are you going to do next after Zhejiang and Anhui are won?"

Hu Wenkai laughed and said: "Uncle, there will be no big moves for at least a year or two, and Ma will let Nanshan cultivate and recuperate." The nephew is ready to build these three provinces into a national model area, with first-class industry and first-class people's livelihood, so that he has the right to speak in the next step. ”

"My nephew wants to ask my uncle to bring a message to Cao Kun, I will still give him 5 million in three years and support him to become the president, I hope he will treat our three provinces well, otherwise I will raise troops to meet each other."

"Wen Kai, you are mature, you know how to give to the other party, I estimate that he is now afraid that you will not withdraw the troops, a few days ago you sent a plane to Baoding to threaten him has seen the effect, as long as you don't make excessive demands this time, he will agree to you, and now you throw this big cake again, he can't swallow it." Tell me about your conditions this time. ”

"Uncle, there are no conditions, Li Yuanhong has become the president, Cao Kun is in charge of Beijing, I just asked my teacher for a Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Shanghai inspection envoy, for Lu Yongxiang to ask for a deputy inspection envoy, I want a general myself."

Wu Peifu laughed, picked up the cigarette case and took out a cigarette, and Hu Wenkai lit it for him with a zip.

"Wen Kai, the two of them are not a big problem, your appointment is a problem, you have not been in the army, you are only in your early twenties this year, what will you think if you are given the title of general and the overseers of various places?"

"Uncle, I am using five million in exchange for promoting him Cao Kun as the president, if he doesn't do this well, I won't approve his armistice agreement, and I won't withdraw any of Cangzhou's soldiers and will continue to increase troops. As for the difficult thing to do, it is Cao Kun's business, I just want the result. Tomorrow, when the teacher talks with him, Cangzhou will hold a large-scale live-fire exercise. ”
