However, Zhang Xinghan did not have too much entanglement, no matter what the attitude was, as long as he could achieve the goal, it would be done, just like a war, and the combination of Zhengqi and winning the war was the king. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At that moment, Zhang Xinghan hid the grain to Sun Island by the bad guys, and a series of causes and consequences such as the special situation of Sun Island added fuel and vinegar to Alice and the others.

Alice and Erin were indignant and immediately said that as long as Zhang Xinghan needed it, they would do their best to help.

In the afternoon of the same day, Alice and Erin crossed the Songhua River in a small sailing boat, escorted by Guo Zhong and a group of guards.

As soon as they reached the other side, a checkpoint blocked their way, and several British sentries with pig-island-novel Lee Enfield rifles on their backs vigilantly held their guns in their hands to stop them.

Zhang Xinghan, who was mixed in with the guards, looked at the rifles in the hands of the British with great interest.

couldn't help but sneer, the obsolete goods during the First World War, just because they were equipped with such backward weapons, if it were not for the fear that unnecessary international disputes would be caused at this time, it would be detrimental to the development of the Northeast Army.

His own troops only need one infantry company to capture Sun Island.

A bearded Englishman in the lead asked, "What are you doing?" in authentic English. But his eyes kept looking at Alice and Irene, who were unusually beautiful, not only because of their beauty, but because of the sudden appearance of two Western faces, which surprised him and made him a little kind.

But they were carrying a group of burly Chinese behind them, which made them have to be vigilant.

Alice looked at the bearded man calmly and said in English, "My name is Alice. Max, behind me these are the Chinese bodyguards I hired, and I want to meet your consul. ”

A few Brits, led by the bearded, were shocked when they heard this, the Max family was famous in the British Isles, and the energy they possessed was extremely terrifying, which was not something that they could imagine as small fish and shrimp.

Although they hadn't met Alice, they had all heard some rumors about the Max family. Max Sr.'s son died early due to illness, leaving only a little granddaughter named Alice, who is the only future heir of the Max family.

Although Alice reported her family like this, in Zhang Xinghan's opinion, it was a bit reckless for common sense, but Zhang Xinghan still underestimated the influence of the Max family in the British Isles.

In line with the idea that it would be better to believe it than not to believe it, several Brits asked Alice and the others to wait, and the bearded man sent a man to hurry back to report to the consul.

None of them wanted to offend the Max family, even in the far Eastern Hemisphere. If the young and beautiful girl in front of her is really the only heir of the Max family, then offending her may have more serious consequences than offending the prime minister.

This is by no means alarmist, because in a capitalist society like the West, the power of the consortium is strong enough to influence the political situation and the political and military direction of the country.

Not long after, a car with a British flag sped up on a road in the Isle of the Sun.

An Englishman in a suit and white hair got out of the car and hurried towards the checkpoint, accompanied by two attendants.

From afar, I saw Alice and her group, and when they came to me. The white-haired Brit was pleasantly surprised, "Oh God, is this true, Miss Alice." Is it really you? ”

Alice looked at the old man who came to her, and asked indifferently like an empress, "You are the consul of the British Empire in Sun Island?" ”

"Yes, yes, Miss Alice. Under the name Robles. Jia Ford is the consul of the Chinese Consulate General in Harbin, and the consulate office is located on Sun Island. Miss Alice, please don't be surprised. The old man Robles bowed his head apologetically.

"Your Excellency Consul, are you going to let Miss Ben talk to you here?" Alice said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone.

"Oh, it's a dereliction of duty, Miss Alice, please get in the car and go to the consulate first, and I will arrange a hotel check-in for you as soon as possible." Robles hurriedly said suddenly.

"Next to me is my good friend and colleague Matt. Erin, these people behind me are bodyguards I hired in China, and they are going to go to the island with me. Alice said.

"Okay, okay, I understand, understand, I'll arrange it all." Robles nodded repeatedly.

Soon Robles brought in a car and a truck, carrying more than a dozen guards, including Alice, Erin, and Zhang Xinghan, towards their embassy.

After arriving at the embassy, there were already people preparing various snacks and tea drinks.

As Alice's 'bodyguards', Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong and others were also very honored to get seats and drinks and tea.

Guo Zhong saw that Zhang Xinghan picked up a small bottle similar to a wine bottle and drank it, and after drinking, he couldn't help but burp and enjoy his face, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Commander, what kind of thing are you drinking, why does it look the same as old vinegar and soy sauce?" ”

"Nonsense, where is vinegar and soy sauce, this is soda, also called cola, it is a drink dessert, it is very delicious, you and your brothers can also taste it." Zhang Xinghan looked at the Coca-Cola bottle in his hand with some love, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to drink Coca-Cola during the Republic of China period in the thirties of the twentieth century, which was really unexpected.

Guo Zhong and the others suspiciously picked up the open bottle of Coke and took two sips, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they couldn't help but praise: "Damn, it's so delicious, what kind of drink is this?" It's better than foreigners' beer. ”

Zhang Xinghan shook his head lightly and said: "Beer is wine, Coke is a drink, and the two have their own strengths and cannot be compared." Moreover, the beer of this period should have been far less delicious than that of later generations.

According to Zhang Xinghan's memory, beer was introduced to China by the Russians.

Their first place of arrival was Harbin, which was built in 1900 as the Ulubrekhivsky Brewery.

In fact, what Zhang Xinghan and Guo Zhong didn't know was that the drink Coke had come to China with foreign businessmen across the ocean six years earlier.

But it was only sold in a coastal metropolis like Shanghai, and because Coca-Cola was not called Coca-Cola at this time, but had an extremely strange name - tadpole chewing wax.

Due to the influence of many unfavorable conditions such as the crappy name, the strange taste, and the consumption concept and ability of the Chinese people at this time, the sales of Coke in the Chinese market at this time were extremely poor.

Therefore, there is no circulation of this drink in the market outside the border, and it is not surprising that Zhang Xinghan and they can't see it.

"I still think it's a good drink, just as pungent, but with a sweet taste. It's really nice not to get drunk yet. Guo Zhong nodded in praise.

"Not bad, when there are conditions in the future, we will also establish a beverage factory and brewery belonging to the Chinese, specializing in the production of our own drinks and beer." Zhang Xinghan had a whim in his heart and said.

"General Zhang, do you know this drink?" As an American. Erin saw that Zhang Xinghan and his subordinates were discussing very seriously with Coke, and asked in surprise.

"Well, I've had the pleasure of drinking it in Tianjin before." Zhang Xinghan said with a haha.

"Do you know what it's called?" Erin asked.

"Coca-Cola." Zhang Xinghan blurted out without thinking.

Erin smiled and shook her head, "Nono." It's not called Coca-Cola, it's called coca-cola, which translates into Chinese as tadpole chewing wax. ”

"Tads gnawing on wax?" Zhang Xinghan suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: Yes, this thing is not called Coca-Cola now, Coca-Cola was later changed to cater to the Chinese market. This Coca-Cola was later the name of the soda produced by Lao Tzu.

When he thought that Coca-Cola would be a famous Chinese beverage brand decades later, Zhang Xinghan was a little excited.

At this time, the old man Robles finally arranged the meal and arranged the hotel for Alice and the others, and cautiously came to the living room.

He said respectfully to Alice, "Miss Alice, I'm sorry. I've been waiting for you for a long time, I've already sent someone to make a reservation for you, and dinner is being prepared. ”

"Your Excellency Consul has worked hard." Alice nodded slightly, stood up and walked in front of Zhang Xinghan. Suddenly turned to Robles and said, "Your Excellency, I can't hide it, I came to Sun Island this time because I need your help. ”

"Miss Alice, please. Whatever is going on, we will do our best to help you. Robles bowed his head without thinking.

"Well, I'm sure the consul, if this is done. I'll tell my grandfather that a Consul Robles has helped me a lot in the Far East......" said Alice Envy.

"Thank you, Miss Alice, I will definitely do it, I will definitely ......," Robles said with some gratitude, "Please tell me what is going on." ”

Alice smiled slightly, turned to Zhang Xinghan and said, "General Zhang, it's your turn." ”

Robles suddenly raised his head in surprise and looked at Zhang Xinghan, who was dressed as an ordinary attendant: "Are you?" ”

"Miss Alice, he, is he?" This person was brought by Alice, and Robles turned his gaze to Alice and asked in confusion.

"Your Excellency, you are the consul of the British Empire in Harbin, take a closer look, don't you really know him?" Alice said with a hint of teasing.

Robles looked at Zhang Xinghan carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "You, you are ......"

"That's right, I'm Zhang Xinghan, commander-in-chief of the border guards of the three eastern provinces of the National Revolutionary Army." Zhang Xinghan said solemnly without smiling.

"How did you end up with Miss Alice? What exactly do you want to do? There was visibly hostility and wariness in Robles's tone.

It is not difficult to see that he is afraid of Alice, but he is not afraid of Zhang Xinghan, a young general who has made a name for himself in Northeast Asia.

If you think about it carefully, it is relieved that China has been weak for a long time in the past 100 years, and the Western powers do not take you China seriously at all, whether you are the head of state or a general warlord with real power.

As the consuls of the British Empire abroad, they represent the British Empire, and they have the backing of the British Empire, the world's No. 1 empire, and they have a natural sense of superiority, so how can they be afraid of Zhang Xinghan?

Because they think that no matter how well Zhang Xinghan fights with the Japanese, he will definitely not have the courage to argue with the British Empire.

Perhaps sensing the disrespect and contempt in Robles's tone, Alice immediately grabbed Zhang Xinghan's arm and said, "Your Excellency, General Zhang is not only the commander-in-chief of the three northeastern provinces, he is also my close friend and a friend of my Max family, do you understand?" ”

Seeing that Miss Alice took the initiative to take Zhang Xinghan's arm and put her delicate body close to him, Robertton was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

swept away the contempt just now, and said very politely and respectfully: "It turned out to be the long-famous commander-in-chief General Zhang, General Zhang, I don't know why General Zhang suddenly visited?" ”

Robles has lived in China for a long time and speaks Chinese well, but he still has a strange foreign accent, which makes people listen to it very awkwardly, which can be seen from the uncontrollable smiles on the faces of Guo Zhong and several other guards.

Zhang Xinghan didn't bother with him too much, and directly explained his intentions.

After hearing this, Robles's heart was suddenly in turmoil, Wu Qingzhong landed on Sun Island, and he knew about and participated in the matter of hiding grain on the island.

The reason why they dared to accept Wu Qingzhong's benefits and help him hide food and provide shelter was that Zhang Xinghan and the Nationalist government behind him would not dare to openly oppose the British Empire.

Of course, in addition to the benefits of Wu Qingzhong's dedication, they value the greater long-term benefits, that is, once Wu Qingzhong and their restoration of the country are successful, then the Western powers, including the British Empire, can regain their superior privileges in the northeast and even the whole country.

Turning China back into a semi-colonial, semi-feudal social state.

In the final analysis, for the great powers who have benefited greatly in China, an increasingly modern and regularized national government is naturally not as good as that of a backward feudal imperial dynasty.
