Although the snow in Beijing fell for a day, it did not settle at all. In addition to a few main roads that are in good condition for face-saving projects, the snowy city of Beijing is the most headache for the people, the snow has turned into muddy water to block traffic, and the muddy roads have greatly attenuated the traffic efficiency. However, the business of rickshaws was improving, and Li Da and Qingtong set off for the airport with a few representatives early in the morning.

"Fortunately, we set off early, you see, we have been blocked for more than 20 minutes on this section of the road." Qingtong looked at his watch and said.

"Hey, we don't even have a special car of our own in Beijing, so I have to ask the school to borrow it. As a result, if you look at this rotten road, you can't walk a few steps out of school, and you still have to take this rickshaw in the end. Li Da shook his head helplessly.

"After a while, that Vasily came, you stood in front of me, and you couldn't stand his foreign etiquette for you to help me block it." Qingtong said jokingly.

"Oh, that's the Russian's way of expressing their passion, a kiss on the left cheek, a kiss on the right cheek, and finally a strong hug. Hold us in your arms like chickens. One action shows that people are older brothers, and we are younger brothers. Li Da said with a smile.

"It seems that my brother is still haunted by yesterday's events. I heard that Vasily is similar to the previous commissioners, and he also likes to drink, and when we come to Beijing, we will have to drink with him again. Qingtong looked embarrassed.

"yes, every time I get dizzy from drinking, I start to get down to business, what a pie." Li Da stroked the beard on his mouth.

"By the way, did you open Wu Peifu's handwritten letter?" Kyung-tong asked.

Li Da shook his head, "This is what he gave to the commissioner, how can I open it and see it?" ”

Qingtong's heart was itching, he wanted to know what the conditions Wu Peifu offered, "What conditions do you say he will propose?" ”

Li Da thought for a while, "It's nothing more than money, starting from Yuan Shikai, the routine of these warlords and foreign countries is like this." There are many warlords in the country, and many local separatists are only nominally under the command of the central government, and they have their own independent human and financial systems. The most infuriating thing is that they have withheld the central government's tax revenue at the local level, and from time to time they have to ask the central government for money. Whether it is Yuan Datou, Duan Qirui, including him Wu Peifu, as long as he is in charge of the capital, anyone will have a headache for the money bag. ”

Qingtong nodded, "That makes sense, I guess that's the case too." Britain and the United States are democracies, and their way of giving money is too cumbersome, either using national taxes as collateral, or jointly establishing a railway company to invest in dividends, so that the money can be set out. ”

Li Da sighed, "Lao Wu's ambition is not small, he just appeared on the cover of Time magazine in the United States not long ago, and foreign media commented that he is the most likely person to unify China." Reunification is about to start a war, and the British and American ways of raising funds are still too slow, and I think he may directly ask for weapons to expand his army. Now that the Anhui system is cold, Zhang Xiaoman in the Northeast is his ironcore. The disadvantage of Beiyang has always been that the north is strong and the south is weak. He must have reached south as soon as possible with the help of the Soviet Union. ”

Qingtong suddenly burst out laughing.

Li Da looked at him strangely, "What's so funny about this?" ”

Qingtong eased his emotions a little, "If the talks between the Soviet Union and Lao Wu collapse, it is very likely that they will turn around and support the revolutionary party in the south, and then the revolutionary party will go on a northern expedition." This is either from the north to the south, or from the south to the north. Tell me who will win? ”

Li Da looked at the gray-white sky and thought for a while, "I think it's still Wu Peifu, several reunifications in Chinese history were fought from the north to the south, and the only one in my impression who fought from the south to the north and won the victory seems to be Zhu Yuanzhang." It's just that I don't know if there are any generals like Xu Da, Tang He, and Lan Yu in the revolutionary party besides Mr. Sun. ”

After the first shots of the revolution, there was a saying that whoever could get Beijing, Wuhan and Nanjing would get the whole of China. Because at that time, most of China's elite troops were concentrated in these three areas. It was because Yuan Shikai secretly sent troops to Wuhan to help Li Fatzi that he had a military foundation, so that he could stabilize the situation in the whole country.

Dai Li looked at Wuhan on the map and recalled this historical story.

Tang Cong and Jia Aiguo stood beside Dai Li, waiting for Dai Li's lecture. It's been a few days since they came back, and Boss Dai has been having a headache about Chen Tong's follow-up for the past few days. After the last battle, Chen's troops had retreated to the Dongjiang River. Now that the Guangdong army has been divided, Xu Chongzhi and Li Fulin support the revolutionary party, and Li Fulin is a military ruffian, and now he is leading his subordinates to find Sun Bald in northern Guangdong. This made Dai's mood very anxious.

Dai Li turned around and looked at Tang Cong, and stretched out his hand to see five big-eared melon seeds. This is Dai Li's traditional strategy, if there is a mistake, you will fight, if you dare to resist and talk back, there will be absolutely no good end. Everyone knows Dai Li's temper, so they can only accept it head-on.

"The jade seal was not snatched back, four people went, one of his subordinates died, and one of his subordinates was controlled by the Hankou police. Are you two too embarrassed to come back? Dai Li said angrily.

Jia Aiguo saw that Tang Cong was punished and wanted to defend him, "Sir, Captain Tang is indeed in trouble. The enemy captured him and tortured him, but he did not tell the secrets of the organization. You see. Jia Aiguo unbuttoned Tang Cong's shirt.

Dai Li's temper was much soothed when he saw the scar on Tang's chest. "Well, I understand that. Captain Tang can firmly hold the dignity of the Blue Coat Society at a critical moment, and it is not in vain that I call you the desperate Tang. Why did this mission fail? ”

Tang Cong tied his clothes, "The main reason for the failure of this mission is because of Dong Hui, this kid can't withstand the interrogation of the police, and all our plans have been exposed." Tang Cong put all the blame on Dong Hui, the dead man.

Jia Aiguo looked at Tang Cong suspiciously, he didn't expect Tang Cong to say this, how could Dong Hui be a traitor if he died so heroically?

Dai Li looked at Jia Aiguo and asked, "Is this the case?" ”

Jia Aiguo was silent, he didn't know how to answer.

"Boss Dai, Jia Aiguo, he was rescuing us at the time, and he didn't know what was happening in prison." Tang Cong stated all his experiences in the police station to Boss Dai, but especially concealed the part where he was tortured by Zhang Damin.

"Damn, you coward!" Dai Lian slapped the table hard. "How could my Blue Coat Society produce such a bad seed, Jia Aiguo, you take a few of your subordinates to his house, and all your property will be confiscated. His family members pulled me down to the front line and dug trenches, did you hear it? ”
