Kleiman is a man of his word, and the weapon that Wang Hengyue had been thinking about for a long time has finally arrived!

Two hundred and fifty brand-new rifles, each with a bayonet. At this time, the first team can finally be said to be "neat and tidy", and it is no longer the tattered "Hanako" army before.

Kleiman brought another letter, asking Officer Wang not to forget the date in Chengdu, and the letter detailed the time and place.

Calculating the time, which was a few days later, Wang Hengyue explained the affairs of the military camp and asked staff officers Ma Xiao and Pete to accompany him.

Before leaving, Yu Lei was called, and after thinking for a while, he said what he thought in his heart.

Since Yu Lei followed Wang Hengyue, he has made several contributions, but now Yu Lei's identity is a document, and there is always some absurdity.

Wang Hengyue's meaning is to set up a "statistics office" after the first team of the internal affairs office, and the external name is to count various materials, but the internal meaning Wang Hengyue quietly told Yu Lei what he thought in his heart.

Yu Lei is a smart person, Wang Hengyue only explained briefly, and immediately understood the meaning of Wang Team's official words. Then he said without being shocked: "Since the adults trust the students, the students will definitely do their best to underwrite the adults!" ”

Wang Hengyue nodded, but whether it was a wise choice to let Yu Lei be in charge of the "Statistics Department" or not, he didn't have any bottom in his heart

This time back in Chengdu, it's very different.

The last time I came to Chengdu, I still had the identity of a "revolutionary party", and I had to rely on Qin Guangcheng to greet him in everything, but when I came back this time, I was a serious new officer who had made meritorious contributions.

went straight to Qin Guangcheng's house, Qin Guangcheng was overjoyed when he saw his brother come back. Hurriedly let people set up their seats.

Qin Guangcheng had already heard about what his brother had done in Rong County, and he was full of praise, and even said that he had not seen the wrong person at the beginning. At present, although the brother garrison in Rong County is 108,000 miles away from the "local officials", it has a promising future after all.

"Brother Qin, this time my brother killed Lu Baoyin, Lu Baogen will definitely refuse to give up, he has a grudge against his eldest brother, and please be careful with eldest brother." Wang Hengyue expressed his worries.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Guangcheng didn't care at all: "Brother killed Lu Baoyin, that is to eliminate harm for the people, even if there is no such thing, won't Lu Baogen come to me?" ”

Saying that, he threw the topic aside: "Brother asked Fang Yun to bring back the silver ticket before, I have already sent people to the surrounding area to purchase a large number of them, and now the fifteen thousand taels of silver have turned into white cloth." To say that this white cloth is not easy to buy, originally not widely sold, there are only a few pieces of cloth in each village, I sent people to the surrounding area to buy a lot, so I used the fifteen thousand taels of silver. My brother explained carefully, and I also bought 5,000 taels of goods. It's just that I really don't understand what my brother means, when will the goods of 20,000 taels be sold? ”

"The eldest brother only got five thousand taels? Less, less. Wang Hengyue shook his head again and again, he couldn't say what he thought in his heart: "It's just that I'm afraid it's too late to buy again." Forget it, it's counted anyway. ”

Qin Guangcheng couldn't figure out what to do with so much white cloth no matter what. There is a backlog of high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade white cloth there, and God knows what year it will be sold, and his brother's behavior is a little unpredictable.

"Master, Manager Du is here."

"Oh? Brother Charlie is here? Please! ”

As soon as the words fell, Charlie Du's non-standard, but always liked to hang on the lips of English, had already floated in: "Goodafternoon, QinManager!" ”

Looking at it again, Wang Hengyue was actually there, and Charlie Du was even more smiling: "Ah, Shu Zhi is also there, Shu Zhi's brother is really in the limelight in Rong County, and his brother's face is also very bright." ”

Wang Hengyue got up and saw it, Qin Guangcheng asked, Charlie Du hadn't eaten yet, and let people put on the tableware.

Charlie Du was not polite, and drank a glass of wine to himself: "Brother has to deal with those foreigners all day long, he is really busy, those foreigners can't do without brothers for a moment, brothers have long thought about it, but those foreigners are begging brothers, there is really no way to get out." It's been another busy morning, thinking that I haven't eaten yet, there is no way, so I have the cheekiness to go to the shopkeeper Qin to mess around, haha! ”

This man is also a bragging master, but I am afraid that if this is said in reverse, it is he who asks the foreigner to be.

Qin Guangcheng was surprised: "What is Brother Charlie busy with in the morning?" ”

Charlie Du pretended to sigh: "Does the Van Lixi Company know? This company is American, the head office was originally in Yucheng, it is very big, there is an office in Chengdu, the general office Kleiman was a close friend of brothers, this time to hold a drinking party, I have to be accompanied by brothers, brothers originally wanted to resign, but Kleiman repeatedly refused. ”

As soon as he heard that it was actually a cocktail party held by Kleiman, Pete was stunned and wanted to speak, but was quietly kicked by Wang Hengyue below. Pete hurriedly swallowed his words back, and then looked at Wang Hengyue, and held back a smile like himself.

How did Charlie Du know that Wang Hengyue and Kleiman knew each other, and Pete was still his junior, so he shook his head and shook his head at ease: "This cocktail party is unbelievable, the consuls of various countries in Chengdu are going to participate, and it is natural to go there to add color to our country, and my brother also thought of this layer so he had to go." ”

"Consul?" Ma Xiao, who never spoke, was stunned for a moment: "Countries only open consulates in Chongqing, Chengdu is not a treaty port, and consulates cannot be set up, where are the consuls?" ”

One sentence made Qin Guangcheng's face darken, and he sighed: "Brother Ma, you are from another province, so you don't know much about Sichuan." Yes, according to the Treaty of Yantai, Yucheng became a treaty port, and Britain, France, the United States, and Germany successively stationed consuls in Chongqing and set up consulates. According to international diplomatic practice, Chengdu is not a treaty port, and foreign countries are not allowed to set up consulates and send consular personnel. However, because Chengdu is the seat of Sichuan Province, the political power center of the province, the supreme administrative head, the governor and the foreign affairs bureau, the special authority for foreign affairs. If all countries want to expand their influence in Sichuan, solve major problems, and deal with disputes over teaching plans, they need to negotiate with the relevant authorities in the provincial capital in a timely manner. Therefore, the British, French, German, and American consulates in Chongqing have successively set up permanent offices in Chengdu that are not consulates, and some of them have even displayed the signboard of 'Consulate General of a certain country in Chengdu'. ”

Ma Xiao was furious when he heard this: "This is a matter of national sovereignty, doesn't the imperial court care?" ”

"The Imperial Court?" Qin Guangcheng sneered a few times: "What does the imperial court do?" In addition to stipulating that the Powers are not allowed to operate in the name of their consulates, most of them acquiesce in the activities of their actual use of consulates. As a result, these institutions are falsely referred to as consulates in the people, in newspapers and sometimes even in official documents. ”

Ma Xiao gritted his teeth: "The sovereignty of a country has fallen, and the dignified court is so weak!" ”
