Although Jinan Railway Station is now the southern terminus of the northern section of the Jinpu Railway. But this railway station is not magnificent, because the Jinpu railway has not yet been completed, Jinan railway station is now just a small station, the capacity is limited, now the president of the Republic of China inspects Shandong, the special train arrives at Jinan station, there are too many people to greet Mr. President, the station can not accommodate so many people, many people have to wait outside the station, the station is crowded with people for a while, and the soldiers who maintain order have to wave the stick 'stick' in their hands.

There was a commotion outside the train station, but inside the train station it was eerily quiet, the military band had stopped playing, the twenty-one gun salutes had stopped, and only those on the platform were 'exchanging heads' and ears, speculating about why Mr. President was so slow to get off the train.

Just now, Wang Zhanyuan, the governor of Shandong, had already taken a few staff members into the carriage in which the president was riding, and now almost 20 minutes have passed, but Wang Zhanyuan still has not been seen to get off the train, which is a bit confusing, and I don't know what kind of 'medicine' Mr. President sells in this gourd, and I don't know what teachings Mr. President listened to in the carriage.

Now the situation between the North and the South has just stabilized. The exchange of interests and the "handover" of power between the Beiyang Group and the United Front has not yet been completely completed, and in this transfer of power, all the people do not want to make any mistakes, the country cannot afford to be "chaotic", and then "chaos" will destroy the country, this is the mind of many people, in this era, not everyone is just living for the sake of living, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, as a member of China, it is necessary to care about the future of this country and their own future.

Just when the people on the platform were speculating that Wang Zhanyuan and the President of the Republic of China were discussing some national affairs, the closed carriage car 'door' was pulled open from the inside, and a guard walked out first, then an adjutant of the presidential palace, and then Wang Zhanyuan and Yuan Shuxun also followed out of the carriage and returned to the platform.

"Governor Wang, what are you discussing with the president?"

"Wang Dudu, why does the president refuse to get out of the car?"

"Wang Dudu, why didn't the president bring an armored train on his southbound journey? Will it remain on the ground in Beijing? ”

"Governor Wang, just now the General Office of Shandong Machinery Bureau Dai was also called to the carriage by the president, why didn't he leave with you now? Is there still talk about the Machine Bureau? ”

……

Faced with the reporters' questions, Wang Zhanyuan was a little overwhelmed, called Ma Ben, separated those reporters, and then took Yuan Shuxun off the platform and boarded a carriage. Leave the station first.

This move is even more 'confusing' and 'confusing', the president has not yet 'appeared', why did Wang Zhanyuan, who presided over the welcome ceremony, leave the train station first? What's the inside story here? The reporters were more curious, but because the platform was under martial law, they could not get closer, so they could only continue to wait there and ask some provincial government officials who were also 'scratching'.

What else could there be? As the governor of Shandong, Wang Zhanyuan knows very well that in such an era when strength determines everything, his strength is completely insufficient to compete with the center, not to mention, as a rising political star, **vanguard, Zhao Bei's order is unquestionable, before, Zhao Bei, as a local powerful figure, has no interest in the "military-civilian separation" statement, but now, as the head of a country, he has enough reasons to support the "military-civilian separation", and also has enough strength and prestige to implement the policy of "military-civilian separation". And as a governor of Shandong without strong troops, Wang Zhanyuan must obey the president's orders.

According to Zhao Bei's statement, the "Metropolitan Governor" was originally a special position in a special period, and now that the situation in the whole country is stabilizing, and the military and political governors of the provinces are to be abolished, there is no need to keep this "Metropolitan Governor", and as the Governor of Shandong, Wang Zhanyuan should set an example for others, and he should not only take the initiative to send a telegram to the central government to resign from the post of "Metropolitan Governor of Shandong", but also send a telegram to the whole country, calling on the governors of all provinces to learn from him, realize the "separation of military and civilian rule" throughout the country, and ensure the smooth and unified implementation of the central government decrees.

In view of the fact that Wang Zhanyuan wisely accepted Mr. President's "suggestion" to resign as governor and re-serve as overseer, Mr. President also agreed that Yuan Shuxun should take up the post of governor of Shandong Province in exchange for 'handover', and that Governor Yuan would assist Wang Governor in drawing up the national telegram, and once the telegram was issued, it is believed that there would soon be a telegram to follow the trend, and under the requirements of this "public opinion", if anyone dares to oppose the "division of the military and the people", then he must want to go against the will of the people, and at that time, the central center will be able to justifiably "cut down the feudal domain" by force.

The reason why Wang Zhanyuan was in a hurry to leave the train station with Yuan Shuxun was to draw up a telegram as soon as possible, because just now, President Zhao told him personally. Jiangxi Governor Yan Xishan also had the idea of "taking the initiative" to resign from the post of governor, Wang Dujun was afraid that Yan Dujun would steal the limelight, so he left the train station in such a hurry, as for the reception of the president, he was fully 'handed over' to the chief of civil affairs, which was also understood by the president himself.

After Wang Zhanyuan left the train station, the president of the Republic of China still did not leave the carriage, because Dai Xiuguo, the general office of the Shandong Machinery Bureau, was still in the carriage, and Mr. President was still talking to him.

Dai Xiuguo is very familiar with the military industry, and he also speaks with a clear eye, which makes Mr. President very satisfied, and even Liu Qingen, a technical adviser sitting on the side, is full of praise.

"Not bad, not bad. Dai General Office, you can sit in the position of this general office, you are much stronger than the general office of the Beiyang Machinery Bureau, that person, it's just bullshit, you can't even tell the difference between strong cotton and weak cotton, it's just a corpse vegetarian meal, yesterday the president passed by Texas, and he has been dismissed on the spot. Promote an assistant to temporarily take over the post of general office. Now that the republic is republic, the tricks of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the past will not work, if you want to sit firmly in the position of the general office of the arsenal, you must do things in a down-to-earth manner and behave in a proper manner! ”

After Dai Xiuguo finished speaking, Liu Qingen was very emotional, and directly made a decision for Zhao Bei and retained General Dai's office, which was more or less arrogant, but Zhao Bei did not pursue Director Liu's trespassing. After all, this person is also a technocratic bureaucrat with a high IQ, but limited emotional intelligence, reluctant to be an official, and very 'good'.

"Yes, General Manager Dai, you can stay in office, but the Shandong Machinery Bureau must immediately rectify, the production of old-fashioned rifles must be stopped immediately, and the old-fashioned ammunition 'medicine' can continue to maintain production for a period of time, but it must also gradually reduce production, and use funds and materials on new weapons, in addition, the technical school of the Shandong Machinery Bureau can be abolished, and all the students and apprentices will be sent to Wuhan for further study, and some of the top technical students will be sent to foreign countries to learn new technologies. In the future, China will attach importance to technology and talents, and it doesn't matter whether you are an official or not, what matters is what you can contribute to this country? General Dai's office, you can go down, I will take someone to the Shandong Machinery Bureau in the afternoon to have a look, you don't have to do any 'tricks', just like Director Liu just said, do things in a down-to-earth manner, and behave in a proper manner. ”

After Liu Qingen finished sighing, Zhao Bei made a summary in a timely manner, waved his hand, and signaled that Dai Xiuguo could leave the carriage.

But Dai Xiuguo took two steps and then turned back and whispered, "President Junjian." When he came, a German arms dealer also came with him, and he wanted to visit the president and say that he had something important to discuss. ”

"What else could it be? It's just selling us arms. Now we can't make good munitions ourselves, and when we can make new weapons ourselves in the future, we won't buy guns from other countries. Liu Qingen shook his head.

Dai Xiuguo said: "What Director Liu said is good, when we can build new arms ourselves, we don't need to let foreigners earn our silver." Still, this German arms dealer is worth seeing. He is not the business representative of the Erhard factory, but the comprador of the Krupp factory, Krupp and Erhard are fighting fiercely in our China, the so-called 'snipe and clam fighting', why not be a fisherman? At present, when we buy arms from European powers, we can only negotiate with the business representatives of arms companies in China, and if we skip them and go directly to foreign countries to buy arms, the price will be even higher. ”

"That's the truth. Mr. Dai, you call that foreigner to come and see me. ”

Zhao Bei nodded, and ordered an adjutant to lead Dai Xiuguo out of the carriage, and after a while, the adjutant led a foreigner back to the carriage with an extra briefcase in his hand, obviously the foreigner.

"Mr. President, it is a great honor for me to meet you. My name is Bauld, and I am the business representative of the German Lihe & Foreign Company, and I have come here to discuss with you the use and 'sexuality' of new weapons in modern warfare. I know, you are a patriot, and in order to save this country, you certainly do not mind arming your army with the latest weapons. ”

As soon as he saw Zhao Bei's face, the German hurriedly introduced himself and patted Mr. President's ass.

Zhao Bei politely shook hands with the Germans and said, "Mr. Baulde, I know very well what you mean. As the head of a country, I have always supported the development of trade with various countries and companies, and because of the reputation of German goods and the reputation of German companies, I have always trusted German companies and foreign companies, especially the German Krupp company, whose products have always been one of the main equipment of the Chinese army, and Krupp's cannon is the most famous. ”

As soon as Bald heard this, he couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, he knew that the big deal was coming, and he saw if he could catch it.

"Mr. President, please rest assured that as the business representative of Krupp in China, I will introduce you to the latest Krupp cannons. I know that your arsenal is now planning to make its own cannons, but for now, your arsenal cannot make heavy cannons, and I am now recommending to you the Krupp heavy field cannons, as well as the fortress guns. ”

Speaking of this, Bauld took the briefcase from the adjutant's hand, took out a thick stack of documents from it, put them on the conference table, and introduced the latest military products of the Krupp Company to Zhao Bei with pictures and texts, including many heavy howitzers that Zhao Bei was interested in.

However, Zhao Bei's willingness to meet Bauld was not only for these heavy cannons, and after Baulde's introduction, Zhao Bei told his true intentions.

"Does Krupp accept orders from specialized 'doors'?" Zhao Bei asked.

"What do you mean, Mr. President?" Baulder's eyes were about to shine, and he knew very well that this kind of special 'door' order was very profitable, and therefore the commission was also very high.

"I heard that Krupp has its own shipyard?"

"Yes, the ships built by Krupp are also very reliable and advanced. Mr. President, do you want to order a few warships? ”

"To be precise, not ordinary warships, but submarines."

"Submarines? Are you referring to the kind of warship that can dive underwater to fight? ”

Baulder was very surprised, and at the same time very excited, this is the real big deal.
