"Click, click, click......"
The mastermind of the "723 Incident" that Gu Weijun wanted to eat raw - Yuan Yanqian was eating raw apples.
Because the broken system he carries consumes too much energy, he usually eats at least five or six big meals a day...... A feast in the truest sense of the word.
Now he can't eat steak and drink soup in the truck, so he has to nibble on a few apples for supper.
Although it was a wagon, the two crown princes were treated well, placed on a pile of clean and soft sacks, and not tied up.
Now the effect of the anesthetic has not passed, and the two of them are still asleep. (Author's note: Because Murong does not have as much research on anesthetics as some patients...... Anyway, you have so much research for Mao? So the previously mentioned ether tastes wrong. Thanks for the reminder. οΌ
This is Master Yuan's suggestion. If Ghanon "Townsend" "Peaked Cap" had done it, they would have to be given a tight tortoiseshell binding, then stuffed into a suffocated black box, and made their way to Dublin in disguise.
However, Yuan Yanqian strongly opposed such an approach, believing that there was no need to be so close to the enemy.
These two crown princes are just two ordinary young people, and they are not so dangerous at all. On the other hand, only by building a good relationship with them, or even further winning their favor, can we better "cooperate" with them.
If what he said before the crime was naturally useless, to put it seriously, even if the Irish were oppressed by the Britons and suffered greatly from colonization, but did they look up to the yellow Serisians because of this?
Now, of course, it's different. These members of the IRA regarded his old man as a man of God, and since they could easily hand over the two crown princes to them, it should be very reasonable to think that his argument should be very reasonable.
So after a not so fierce dispute, in the end, according to his request, the two crown princes were provided with the most comfortable environment possible.
"Ganon, how long will it take us to get to Dublin?"
"Dr. Yuan, it is estimated that we will be there in the early hours of tomorrow morning."
Their last stop on the British Main Island was Holyhead. It is the largest town in Anglesey, Wales, England, and an important harbour city bordering the Irish Sea.
Holyhead and Dublin are across the Irish Sea, and there are direct ferries between the two places.
Holyhead, on the other hand, is just over 200 kilometres from London in a straight line, with train connections via Birmingham and Crewe.
In other words, if you take the "high-speed train" with a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour at that time, plus the ferry, you can compress the journey from London to Dublin in less than six hours, or even a daytime round-trip.
But it is impossible for them to take a bus, and they can only "ride" in a slow truck. Combined with the time to change trains and take the boat, it will take almost a day.
"Hmm."
Yuan Yanqian nodded, this was about the same as he expected. The sooner they arrived in Dublin, the sooner the "Hibiscus Army" could retreat, and naturally the safer it would be.
However, the Hibiscus Army could not retreat early, and it was necessary to let the "723 Incident" ferment around the world. Otherwise, wouldn't it be anticlimactic.
Oh, these Seris made such a big deal and ran away a day later. Doesn't this go against the original intention of "Comrade Tai Sui"?
"Ah......h
The two of them heard the Prince of Wales snort softly, and when they looked at him, his eyelashes began to tremble, and he should have woken up soon.
The effect of anesthetics varies depending on each person's constitution. The Prince of Wales looked much stronger than the Prince of Dyward, so it was normal for him to wake up earlier.
"Dr. Yuan, he's waking up!"
"Ganon, I see it. Remember what I just said? β
"Remember, Dr. Yuan."
"Ganon, do as I say. Is there a problem? β
"Dr. Yuan, there is no problem."
"That's good...... Is there smoke? Get me one. β
People didn't mind him rubbing wine, eating and cigarettes at all, and immediately handed over a cigarette.
Our Master Yuan casually threw the apple core aside, took the cigarette and smoked it.
The future Edward VIII felt that he had a ridiculous nightmare, and he, the first in line to the throne of the world's largest empire, was actually kidnapped by a group of Chinese at a diplomatic reception in the capital, London.
However, the nightmare ended well, as a noble, brave and skilled Chinese knight rescued him and put him in a safe police car......
No, that police car is not safe!.
The Prince of Wales shook and woke up.
Cold, shaky, noisy......
He sat up jerkily and looked around in alarm. The police car in his mind was instantly confused with the environment in front of him, and even after a few seconds, he still didn't fully realize where he was.
"Yes, Your Highness, your physical fitness is good." A gentle voice reached his ears.
Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David turned his head to see a brunette young man staring at him with a warm smile on his face.
The young man, who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, was extremely handsome, and had few scars on his face, and looked very amiable.
The black-haired young man took a cigarette in his hand, he took a deep breath, and then looked behind him over the Prince of Wales, and the British crown prince realized that there was a person lying next to him, it was the crown prince of Japan.
In addition to this, there are several other porters in this enclosed environment.
It's a moving car, and it doesn't seem to be going very fast.
Cold, shaky and noisy are exactly what this carriage feels.
"Dr. Yuan!" The Prince of Wales asked, "What is this place?" Who are they? Why we're here. β
The porters looked at him with a playful smile on their faces, only the black-haired young doctor took a deep breath of his cigarette and said helplessly, "Please think about it, my highness...... It's obvious! β
Think about it?
The Prince of Wales, of course, did not think of anything: "Want to understand the meaning of life?" ", but blurted out: "Could it be that they are in the same group as those Chinese?!" β
Of course, our Dr. Yuan will not say, "This is the first ...... of Resident Evil"
"Your Highness, it's almost."
The Prince of Wales was not a stupid person either, he immediately looked at Master Yuan vigilantly and said, "Then Dr. Yuan, why are you here?" β
"Is this ......" Yuan Yanqian sighed, threw an apple over and said, "Your Highness, do you feel very thirsty?" Please moisten your throat first. β
He pointed to Hirohito, who was still asleep, and said, "When His Royal Highness Prince Di Gong wakes up, I will explain." β
Beijing time, July 24, 1921, 8 a.m.
BEIJING, MIDDLE EAST SEA.
The seat of the Beiyang government is a name that will ***, so you all know it.
It is said that when Feng Gong's grandfather Feng Guozhang, the "dog of the North Ocean", was the president here, there was an interesting incident. He had all the fish in the Jinshui River caught and sold them on the streets. For a time, the city of Beijing was full of "presidential fish" for sale.
It is said that these fish were sold for 80,000 yuan, and all of them went into President Feng's private pocket.
After Lao Feng died, someone made a subcouplet: "Where are the fish in the South China Sea, there are no more Beiyang dogs." βγ
Now this place has changed owners, but it is also a person from Beiyang.
It is Xu Shichang who is not very much the president of the Republic of China, who is not the president of the Republic of China.
He was born in 1855 and is sixty-six years old this year. The elderly are easy to wake up in the morning, not to mention that it is the summer when the nights are short and the days are long.
XU SHICHANG ALSO GOT UP EARLY TODAY, AND WHEN HIS OLD MAN WAS WALKING BY THE JINSHUI RIVER, FOREIGN MINISTER YAN HUIQING HURRIEDLY CAME TO THE MIDDLE EAST SEA WITH GU WEIJUN'S TELEGRAM.
Then, the president of the Republic of China saw this "telegram......
I would like to explain here that at the beginning of the opening of the telegraph in the Qing Dynasty, because it was very expensive to send telegrams, the price was based on words, and "words are golden", so it was very important to save words.
For this reason, some people have invented a new method of chronology, which replaces the month with the land branch and the date with the rhyme. This method was used in the field of telegraph until the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was used for more than 70 years.
It is also used in other fields, and even some diaries are written in rhyme. Some famous events in history are also named after this, such as: the Ma-Ri Incident, the Gray Sun Riot, the Wenxi Fire, Yandian, Haodian, etc.
So what is the finals of the 24th? That's right, it's the word "θΏ₯".
The "723 Incident" occurred at half past eight in the evening of Greenwich Mean Time, when Seris in the East Eighth District was already in the early morning of the 24th, and it was already the morning of the 24th when the Beiyang government received the news.
As a result, this incident is known as the "Incident of the Sun" in Seris, and some people also call it the "Righteous Action". (note 1)
This "telegram" immediately made the dignified President of the Republic of China embarrassed.
Xu Shichang, who was already very energetic, widened his eyes, subconsciously touched his two beards and said, "Junren (Yan Huiqing's character), is this true?" Gu Shaochuan: This won't be joking with us, right? β
Mr. Yan, who had a round head and a round head and a pair of round-framed glasses, raised his glasses and said with a wry smile: "President, how can this be fake?" Minister Gu is not the kind of person who likes to joke. The lower official has already confirmed with him again and again......"
It was not easy for the foreign minister, who was woken up in the middle of the night by the staff on duty at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
At that time, he also felt incredible and unbelievable, so he personally went to the telegraph office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and confirmed with the British side before personally sending it to the Grand Presidential Palace.
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Shichang put on reading glasses again and looked at "Electricity".
"Hey......" he suddenly sighed, faced the Jinshui River with his hands behind his back, and chanted in a man's voice, "From Cao Mo to Jing Ke five people, this righteousness may or may not be successful, but its intention is more reasonable, do not deceive its will, and its name will be in the future generations, how can it be vain!" β
"Hey......"
This time it was Yan Huiqing's turn to sigh.
Of course, a high-ranking intellectual like him was Dao Xu Shichang recited the praise of the five famous Assassins, Cao Mo, Zhuan Zhu, Yu Rang, Nie Zheng, and Jing Ke, in the "Historical Records: Biography of the Assassins".
Translated into the vernacular, it is: from Lao Cao to Lao Jing, some of their chivalrous deeds were successful, some were unsuccessful, but their ambitions and intentions were not for personal gain, nor did they violate their conscience, and their reputation spread to future generations, is this false!
Yes, from the perspective of the Seris people, the "Hibiscus Legion", aren't these people the same heroes as these five.
It is possible for people to "succeed or fail in this righteousness", but it is true that "their intentions are more reasonable, and they do not deceive their aspirations", and such a person "will be famous in future generations, how can it be vain!" βγ
To tell the truth, don't senior intellectuals and senior bureaucrats like Xu Juren and Yan Junren, who have experienced the "great changes of 3,000 years", and members of the ruling class not want to recover Shandong, revive the country's strength, and "the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation"?
It's not a no-do, it's really not a no-no.
The people of the time commented that Xu Shichang "is sleek and changeable, too Changle Lao", Changle Lao is the prime minister of the Five Dynasties, known as the "tumbler" Feng Dao. That's not a good review.
Zhang Boju, one of the four princes of the late Qing Dynasty, he was the cousin nephew of President Yuan Da, the nephew and stepson of Zhang Zhenfang, the governor of Henan, wrote a poem that benefited the country and was incompetent but self-beneficial, and the two courtiers were vain. laughed at his medicinal properties like licorice, but he was a chrysanthemum with a yellow flower.
But then again, Xu Shichang is not perfect in terms of political morality, but he has also inherited the fine spiritual outlook of Chinese traditional knowledge elements. It is not just an ordinary boring politician, nor is it comparable to those old warlords who support the army and are self-respecting and self-interested, and bring disaster to the country and the people.
Although Outer Mongolia was lost during his reign, he tried it anyway.
In 1919, the Xu Shichang government officially appointed Xu Shuzheng as the border envoy of the northwest.
Later, when the Zhifeng War broke out in 1920, Duan Qirui recalled his small fan, which also brought the Beiyang government's business to Mongolia to an abrupt end.
A year later, this year, Outer Mongolia became an independent state with the support of Soviet Russia.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs raised his glasses and asked, "President, what should we do?" β
General Yan, like President Xu, is known as "not falling", which shows that he has a good way of treating people and doing things as an official. He made great contributions to the country in the future and was an important figure in China's diplomatic circles.
"What else can we do?" Xu Shichang said leisurely, "Only do what the British say, and issue a statement condemning the Hibiscus Army." β
"President, don't you want to discuss it with Your Excellency the Prime Minister?" Yan Huiqing asked hesitantly.
At this time, the prime minister of the cabinet was Jin Yunpeng.
"What's the use of negotiating if it's not discussed? It would be nice for you to inform him. President Xu Da sighed and said.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs nodded and said in a low voice, "Then I'll go to draft it first." β
"Slow man." Xu Shichang turned his head and lowered his voice, "You have to find a way to reveal the news." β
Yan Huiqing said hesitantly: "President, is this so good?" Once the news leaks out, won't the pressure on the government be great? β
President Xu shook his head and said: "Junren, Junren, the news will definitely get out, and there will definitely be pressure." But it's not just our side that has pressure, in case the UK has to make an inch, it may not be bad if the pressure is greater. β
"I see, President."
"Go, Junren."
The people of Seris are about to be embarrassed!

Note 1: What?! Some people say that Murong deliberately put the incident on the 24th so that it could be called the "Zhiri Incident".
The conscience of heaven and earth, you can check the finals on the 23rd, which is a "stalk" word.
Murong felt that the "Terrier Day" should still be left to the thirteen people in the Demon Capital.
