"The so-called friendship is premised on strength and interests, and friendship without interests as the foundation is as fragile as this piece of paper. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Dongjiaomin Lane, inside the Fuso Embassy. Hichiki looked at the guest in front of him and gently tore a piece of paper to shreds.

The visitor nodded, "Shandong has always relied on the support of the Albion government and Prussia to adopt a hostile attitude towards our country, which has seriously affected our interests in China. This time, before the situation on the part of Tessie was completely clear, he took the initiative to choose Prussia and offend Albion, which was really stupid. ”

"It's not stupid, in fact, he doesn't have much choice. The longer it drags on, the worse it is for him. Although we do not know the specific content of the treaty, judging from the degree of secrecy of the Prussian side and Albiang's reaction, this peace treaty between China and Prussia must have seriously damaged the interests of various countries in Shandong. On the other hand, we can imagine that there must be certain clauses in this agreement that are extremely favorable to Yuan Zhengfu and Zhao Guanhou. Once these provisions are fulfilled, they will certainly greatly enhance the strength of Shandong and even China in a short period of time. This is exactly what they desperately need, and there are not many options. Either for Albion, or for Prussia. Decisions must be made in the shortest possible time, otherwise, they will get less and less. As a weak country, their ideas are not wrong, the only thing that is wrong is that they have chosen the wrong support target! ”

"In this war, to push the chips to Prussia is undoubtedly self-defeating." As far as the situation in Shandong is concerned, if the Albion government sides with Zhao Guanhou, we can only claim benefits from China through negotiations. As for now, when Albion officially declares war with Prussia, the warriors of the empire can be above board, wielding the sword, and get everything they deserve! ”

Visitors from a certain consortium in Fuso became excited with this message. In the current form of government in Fuso, politicians and chaebols are inseparable from each other.

With Tessie's economy weakening, Fuso's chaebol was also greatly affected. Whether it is from the perspective of destroying competitors, or from the perspective of diverting domestic contradictions and even plundering, the use of force against Shandong is something that these chaebols are happy to see.

Among the political factions of Fuso, Hiki Massu was known for his steadiness and was not on the same path as the arbitrari faction. When the moderates agree to use force to solve the problem, it means that what the chaebols hope for is about to happen.

On the eve of Yuan Weiting's birthday banquet, the Fusang Legation received a secret report that the meeting between Zhao Guanhou and Zhu Erdian broke up unhappily, and when he left, Zhu Erdian did not see him off. News also came from the inside line, which was bought with a lot of money, and there was a fierce quarrel between the two, and they almost broke up.

Shandong's geographical environment, especially Haikou's geographical advantages, is coveted by Fusang. In addition, the last time, Fusang's intelligence agency in Shandong was brutally attacked by the Shandong government, and the intelligence personnel suffered heavy casualties. This way of dealing with publicly tearing up faces also makes the relationship between each other tense.

Of course, Fuso does not have any concerns about the reunited province as a country, but when the situation in this province involves other large countries, Fuso must be extremely cautious. In particular, the Fuso Tiele War had not been over for a long time, and Fuso had not yet been able to recover the vitality lost due to the war. If Albion were to be convicted again, it would be very detrimental to the recovery of the power of the state.

Based on the above reasons, although Fusang had a big battle in Shandong, it ended in a peaceful way. This is not that they are really afraid of war with Shandong, but they are afraid of the backers behind Shandong. Now, now that Shandong's Austrian aid has gone, Fusang can let go of his hands and feet and use force against Shandong.

"Yuan Weiting's ambition to be the emperor has been revealed, and for the traveler standing on the edge of the cliff, we should be merciful and compassionate and help him become a Buddha. So in the next step, we will make closer contact with Yuan Weiting, from funding to technology, we can provide guidance to the president. Of course...... He also needs to be sincere enough. ”

A smile appeared on Ri Zhiyi's face, and a cold flicker in his eyes. The visitor laughed and said: "Naturally, if you want to get the supreme position, you have to pay the corresponding price, this world is so fair." But I'm worried about one thing, once the Communists conclude a secret treaty with Prussia, will they still sign a treaty with our country? ”

"There is no need to worry about this, no matter what agreement Prussia has with China, there is the same problem, distance! Excessive distances lead to the delivery of their materials, and there must be obstacles. We are close to China, and we have a geographical advantage in providing aid or blocking Prussian aid. On the other hand, even within Yuan Zhengfu, there are also our staff. From the overall point of view, the war of Tessie is inevitable, and once the war starts, whether it is Albion or Prussia, the assistance that can be given to China is very limited. Yuan Weiting wants to become the emperor, and in the end he can only rely on our country. China's government has always been accustomed to using the method of borrowing strength to deal with diplomatic disputes, relying on the Taixi powers to restrain our country. Admittedly, this is an extremely clever strategy, but they also ignore one of the biggest flaws in this strategy. It's yourself, weak and powerless, and you can only rely on external forces! Once there is no external force to borrow, there is only one thing they can do: get beaten up! ”

With a slight wave of his hand, the confetti scattered all over the ground and rolled in the wind.

The wind that stirred up dust and debris blew all the way across the ocean to Fuso itself, blowing people's hearts up and floating again. This beast still bears the wounds of the last war.

Although in the battle with Tiele, Fuso had the last laugh, but the sharp claws of the polar bear still left huge wounds on his body. Just a few years is not enough time for the wound to heal. However, due to the aggressive wildness in its blood, it is not weakened by pain, but stimulated by the sound of war drums.

Soldiers began to intensify their training, and logistics carried out under a mature management system. The shipyard is working day and night to maintain the old ships and build new ones, and the cruising intensity on the sea is increasing day by day. In Shandong, a large number of intelligence personnel were re-identified and developed by using the dredging project of the Huai River, and they became more and more active in collecting information on military, integrity, and economic aspects for Fusang.

In the entire Jiangbei and Shandong Province, a group of warriors in the shadows rushed out again and began their own dance.

Shandong, Jinan Station.

Those who came back with Zhao Guanhou included a group of soldiers in addition to their own family members and guards. These soldiers come from several provinces across the country, with very different hometowns and accents, and the only thing they have in common is: poor!

Among them, the leader is Wang Jingshui, the Guangxi officer who was violently beaten by Lei Zhendong at Qianmen Station before. His family, once quite prestigious in Guangxi, collapsed because of the Hongyang Rebellion. After the Fist Rebellion, Wang Jingshui, like most enthusiastic young people who were full of dreams and passion and wanted to save the country by themselves, sold the little ancestral property left and went to Fusang to study in the military.

Like his companions, he also joined the Xingzhong Society, became a member of the Ge Ming Party, and after returning to China, he made some military achievements in the Guangxi Uprising, and once led a regiment of troops in the army.

But it is a pity that with the establishment of the right power in Beiyang, the authority of Guangxi fell into the hands of Lu Ganqing. Because of the family relationship, Wang Jingshui did not suffer too much impact, but was promoted from regiment commander to division staff officer. Since then, he has been working in the glorious and great post of staff officer with unlimited prospects, as solid as a rock and as immovable as a mountain.

Lu Ganqing, like most soldiers in this era, trusted officers from the army and despised military cadets. Wang Jingshui has the aura of being a military cadet and Ge Mingdang, and he is naturally hot in front of Lu Ganqing, as red as coal. The reason why this birthday gift was sent to him was because Lu Ganqing couldn't find a few intellectuals who could do this kind of thing, and only at this time did Wang Jingshui's study abroad experience become meaningful.

Guangxi has barren land and very little production, and Lu Ganqing's expansion of the army in Guangxi far exceeds the scale set by the War Department. He also bought weapons from Capetian arms dealers to expand his strength, and it was difficult to pay his military salaries.

In order to cultivate the arduous and simple style of the troops, Lu Ganqing took the lead in proposing that second-line officers should not receive military salaries, but should start by themselves (Lu Inspector Jun is a fair and honest person, and has never received a penny of military salaries, but only an allowance with no fixed amount and no upper limit and no account records)

Wang Jingshui has lost his meager family property because of saving the country, and he has been in arrears of military salaries for a long time, so life is very difficult. Only when he entered Beijing, in order to prevent his subordinates from looking like beggars and damaging the image of the Guangxi troops, he deliberately gave a month's salary to purchase some clothes and hats, plus more food.

Of course, Lu Ganqing also has his own reasons for doing this: since they are all soldiers of the Communist Party, the military salary should be obtained from the Gonghe Government. They have all arrived in the capital, don't you know how to go to the War Department? Even if you really don't know, you should ask. How much money is missing, go to the War Department to ask for it!

In fact, there are many overseers who have similar ideas to Lu Ganqing, so there have been many salary extortion officers in the capital who have been specially assigned to the capital because they are "loved" by their own commanders to carry out debt collection tasks. Most of them have some embarrassing resumes, and most of them are from military schools or have participated in the Geming Party.

They are poor and only have dignity left, and under the premise that rice is expensive in the capital and it is not easy to live in, this dignity has gradually disappeared. Some of them had to sell their blood medals in exchange for resources to survive in order to survive.

Wang Jingshui came to find Zhao Guanhou, which belonged to the last chance to survive in a desperate situation. Lu Ganqing only gave him a one-way ticket, and if he wanted to go back to Guangxi, he had to find a way to get the travel expenses by himself.

A hurried meeting at the station made him feel that this Overseer was different from his own commander, and that it might be an opportunity. After two conversations, not only was he hired as an officer of the Lu army, but he also served as a battalion-level cadre, including the officers he could contact, and they were also hired to Shandong.

The total number of these people is about 100 people, all of whom have experience in military academy training, and in Ge Mingzhong, they have served as middle and low-level officers, and have experience in leading troops on the battlefield. Compared with the Shaanxi army officers who were born as swordsmen or peasants, the difficulty of training these people is undoubtedly much smaller.

When I got off the train, I looked at the tall buildings, neat streets, pedestrians and shops on the road in Jinan. Many officers showed a rather confused look on their faces, muttering to themselves, "Where is the capital?" Did we, in the first place, go to the wrong place? ”

Compared with the attitudes of these officers, Zhao Guanhou frowned, and Yuqing also said: "Why are there so many porridge sheds on the road?" ”

In the house, Cheng Yue and the children have come out, and the leader is the blonde, blue-eyed, elf-like and lovely Princess Anna, she ran over quickly, shouting "Master......", she is developing very fast, taller than the children of the Zhao family, and she naturally runs faster. She opened her arms and made an expression of begging for a hug, and Zhao Guanhou also bent down and responded.

Just when the bodies of the two were about to collide, Princess Anna leaned back violently, her right leg flew up, and the iron tip of her leather boots kicked towards Zhao Guanhou's chest. The blow was swift and hard, and it was clearly with all its might. In front of her eyes, it seemed that there was already a man who had fallen to the sky, and the screams of this hateful devil.

"Ahhh How dare you treat me like this to such a lovely girl! Mommy, mommy help me! ”

It was not Zhao Guanhou who screamed, but the attacker. Her legs were grabbed by Zhao Guanhou, lifted upside down, and hung upside down in the air under her head and feet, and then the man's slap fell heavily on her p-thighs. Jingci clenched his fists and stared at him with big eyes to cheer up, "Come on, Dad, come on!" Avenge me ......"

"Learning to cover up one's attacking intentions is the basic skill of a killer. Just when you are talking to a person cordially, as if you are a confidant of life and death, you swing a dagger and end his life. When his throat is slit by you, he should still treat you as a bosom friend, and he will not expect you to attack him, just like this! ”

In the study, Zhao Guanhou patiently taught his apprentice, and when Anna fell into a state of listening, he violently drew a "Z" figure on her face with a quill pen.

Although Anna had heard Zorro's story from the mouth of the Oriental master, it did not mean that she was willing to be a victim.

"Tell me, what have you done during this time, if it's just this senseless attack, and take care of my son for me, I can only say that your cultivation is not up to par."

"It's not fair! You know, how hard it is to keep care of those fools for you! Besides, I'm a princess, noble princess, you can't treat me like that. Anna first protested, then said:

"As for the rest...... Of course, there are, that is, a large number of refugees have poured into your Shandong. If you want to blame, you can only blame yourself for building Shandong too well. Therefore, when disaster strikes, everyone thinks that Shandong must be better off surviving than elsewhere. There are more refugees, there are more public security problems, Yang Yuzhu has not rested for two weeks, and Ms. Liu Peixuan has no time to be busy fighting with her. Dealing with the refugee food rations alone was enough of a headache for her. The Great Depression, the great catastrophe in the true sense of the word, is coming, poor humanity, tremble!
