There was no light in the small auditorium, and the only source of light came from the white cotton cloth hanging on the wall, on which a movie was projected. In the flickering brilliance, the smile on Zhao Bei's face was real.

Zhao Bei was watching a movie, and the people who sat in the small hall with him to watch the movie were basically the officers of the General Staff and their guards, as for the content of the movie, it was not a European burlesque, but a documentary, a war documentary.

To be precise, this is a war documentary about the Sino-Japanese war in Liaodong, which was sent to Beijing from the Liaodong front in the morning, and the means of transportation used was a light bomber, and in order to load the entire box of movie copies, the bomber had to make some necessary modifications, remove the flight seats, and the pilot actually sat on a wooden box to fly the plane.

Although it is a silent film, the content of the movie screen is indeed pleasant, looking at the dejected Japanese prisoners of war on the screen and the piles of Japanese-made rifles and mountain artillery, every audience in the small hall will smile heartily.

A whole box of documentaries, Zhao Bei led his subordinates to watch it from one o'clock in the afternoon, until now, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, but they had not finished watching it, but everyone did not have any sense of fatigue, and they were able to sit in the small hall in the rear and see the battle situation on the front line, all the soldiers were very excited, and they once again appreciated the far-reaching impact of scientific and technological progress on military technology and military strategy.

Finally, as the lights in the small hall turned on, all the documentaries were played. No one spoke, and no one immediately stood up. All eyes are on the president.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Bei stood up and looked around. And then ended this particular military meeting with a few words.

"Please ask the Political Propaganda Committee to seize the time to sort out these film materials, accompany them with appropriate music, and then make enough copies of the films and hand them over to non-governmental film companies to be screened, so that all the people can see the victory of the front-line soldiers in the bloody battle, and tell the people that China will win this war!" Other than that. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will then forward some copies to the embassies of various countries in China for the foreign ministers to see. Which side of this war will win in the end is conducive to ending the war as soon as possible. Now, I announce. This military meeting is over. ”

Zhao Bei walked out of the small hall with a few guards and returned to his presidential office, although he wanted to start handling official business immediately, but the movie just now really made him excited, and he couldn't calm down to deal with official business for a while.

Although Zhao Bei was convinced of victory before the war, it was only on paper after all, and now. Through the advanced technology of the industrial age, he finally saw the scene of this war intuitively, which was indeed enough to make him excited, after all, all this was led by him, and history had been rewritten by him beyond recognition. I can't see the original appearance anymore, as for how the future history will be unfolded, Zhao Bei needs to think carefully about it.

"Chamberlain, send someone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at once, and ask the Minister General of Foreign Affairs to come and tell him that the President needs to know about the recent situation in Europe."

After pondering and pondering, Zhao Bei still decided to see how the situation in Europe was going first, so he picked up the phone and asked the chamberlain to send someone to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Commander's Hall. so that the president may consult.

Since the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince in Sarajevo. Zhao Bei specially took care of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asked them to pay close attention to the situation in Europe, and reported to the president at any time, although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had just sent someone to report to him the day before yesterday, but now, Zhao Bei still decided to supervise the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is also the president's internal business.

Pressing down the phone, Zhao Bei continued to pace around the office with his hands behind his back, while Qin Sihu, the captain of the guard, stood at the door, watching the president walk around there.

"Four Tigers, you send someone to Yang Du immediately. Tell him that I will meet with the representatives of the Political Promotion Association this evening, and ask Yang Du to prepare. At that time. He also had something to say. ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Bei ordered, Qin Sihu immediately called a guard, whispered a few words, and then beat the guard and rushed to Yang Du's side.

"Four Tigers, you send someone over again and ask Li Yuanhong to come over, I have something to tell him."

After saying this, Zhao Bei suddenly woke up. Li Yuanhong is now in the aftermath of the Capitol building, and he can come with a phone call. It doesn't seem like the guards need to pick it up. So he hurriedly waved his hand, signaling that Qin Sihu didn't have to do it. turned around and was about to make a call to Li Yuanhong, but the phone rang suddenly.

Pick up the microphone. The voice of the maid's secretary was heard inside.

"Mr. President, the Military Intelligence Agency has sent a section chief, is it convenient for you to meet him now?"

"Call him here."

Zhao Bei pressed down the phone, but put aside the matter of calling Li Yuanhong over for the time being, the Military Intelligence Bureau suddenly sent a section chief over, there must be something important, Zhao Bei decided to concentrate on this matter first.

Not long after, the section chief followed the adjutant of the chamber into the president's office, it was none other than Lu Yuguang, who had been an adjutant in the chamber before, since he went to the Military Intelligence Bureau, because he was sophisticated. A few days ago, Tian Jinfu and Jin Zhaokun, the two bigwigs of the Military Intelligence Bureau, left the bureau one after another and went to other places, and now, the main work of the Military Intelligence Bureau is actually presided over by Ran Lu Yuguang.

Seeing the president, Lu Yuguang gave a standard military salute, and then presented an official document in his hand.

Qin Gong took the official document, looked at it a few times, and nodded. Said! "This... You know, I didn't specifically instruct the Military Intelligence Agency to reconnoiter this matter, and you were able to take the initiative to reconnoitre, which is very good, and I am very satisfied. ”

Lu Yuguang asked: "Since the president already knows about Xiong Chengji's collusion everywhere, why didn't he order immediate action?" ”

Zhao Bei put the official document in the drawer of his desk, then walked to the window, looked at the garden below, and sighed.

"Lieutenant Colonel Lu, in your opinion, what is Xiong Weigen going around in tandem now?"

"It's supposed to be for the sake of politics."

Lu Yuguang replied cautiously, the topic of politics is too sensitive, and the Military Intelligence Bureau did not dare to openly write this topic into the reconnaissance report submitted to the president, but now that the president asked. Lu Yuguang can't avoid this topic either, he knows the president's character very well.

"Xiong Weigen opposes the president's scraping of the government, but with his current strength, he is obviously a maggot, and he also knows in his heart that he can't confront me head-on, so he needs to win over those politicians, but unfortunately, basically no one is willing to cooperate with him. And there were even people who immediately betrayed him, and that's where my information came from. Lieutenant Colonel Lu. In your opinion, is it necessary for such a person to be worthy of my fight? ”

Zhao Bei glanced at Lu Yuguang, and now the spy leader was shaking his head.

"President Junjian. People like Xiong Chengji are stubborn and have no reason to transform. The president's mood is understood by the department, it was Xiong Chengji who introduced the president to join the Liberation Society, and it was he who fought side by side with the president and jointly led the Anqing anti-Qing uprising. He has contributed to the revolution and to the republic, and the president cannot bear to take harsh measures against him. The ministry understood, but given the prestige of the man, he suggested that the president should take the necessary measures. ”

Seeing Lu Yuguang understand his "woman's benevolence" like this, Zhao Bei felt a little funny in his heart, yes, he really didn't plan to take a "heat treatment" method on Xiong Chengji, but the reason was not what Lu Yuguang thought. The reason why Zhao Bei did not take decisive measures against Xiong Chengji for a long time was not because he was a revolutionary hero, but because he was an idealist, a constitutional idealist.

Constitutional idealists are rare in this era, Song Jiaoren is one, and Xiong Chengji is also one. Zhao Bei had already sent someone to kill one of them, and he didn't want to use such drastic means to deal with an idealist who was at the forefront of the times, although these people's ideas did not conform to the current era, but their ideals were indeed what Zhao Bei was pursuing.

It's just that the times do not allow them to realize this ideal. This ideal of theirs is indeed too far away from the China of this era, and now, after all, it is still the old year.

If someone else is replaced as the president and the government, Zhao Bei will definitely be the first to stand up and oppose it, but if he becomes the president and realizes the government, then no one has any reason to oppose it. Because Zhao Bei is a time-traveler of history, he can see the future, and this reason is enough.

But this reason cannot be told to anyone. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Bei was deeply misunderstood by Xiong Chengji, so that the two of them have been locked up in the opposite situation.

Zhao Bei understands Xiong Chengji's current approach, if it were him, he would definitely make the same choice as Xiong Chengji, and because of this, Zhao Bei did not immediately order the necessary measures to be taken against Xiong Chengji.

It's just that Lu Yuguang didn't understand Zhao Bei's thoughts, he mistakenly thought that Zhao Bei didn't take measures against Xiong Chengji because of the "benevolence of women" and seemed to be afraid of Xiong Chengji's title of "righteous hero", so Lu Yuguang decided to make a direct admonition. At all costs. It is also necessary to move the president to give the necessary orders.

"President Junjian. Although Xiong Chengji's current strength is weak, it should not be taken lightly. This person is known as a "righteous hero" and is also the introducer of the president's entry into the Liberation Association, if this person really has any actions that are not conducive to the president. At that time, I am afraid that a group of people will follow, and in the eyes of the department, it is better to take precautions, and it is not enough to send people to keep an eye on them. In addition, according to reconnaissance, Xiong Chengji went to Yang Wangpeng's apartment this morning. What the two talked about, it is not clear, but considering Yang Wangpeng's identity and background, it is still not to be taken lightly. ”

Seeing that Lu Yuguang insisted, Zhao Bei smiled and said, "Just send someone to keep an eye on him, without my order." No one is to take extraordinary measures, and in recent times, all those who have had personal contact with Xiong Migen must be kept an eye on. Lieutenant Colonel Lu, politics is not as simple as you think, sometimes. Simply removing the body will not solve the problem, but will lead to trouble. Especially at times like these. ”

Speaking of which, even Zhao Bei was a little skeptical about whether he was the "Woman's Benevolence" When he sent someone to assassinate Song Jiaoren, he didn't even hesitate much, now. But it is a little incomprehensible to be so sorry for an outdated revolutionary hero.

The only explanation seems to be that Zhao Bei is now firmly seated, and revolutionary idols like Xiong Chengji, who have no strength at all, can no longer pose a threat to him, and keeping these political opponents can even create an atmosphere of freedom of speech.

Of course, Zhao Bei will not really be "the benevolence of women" If Xiong Chengji really takes any action against other politics, then. He will not hesitate to take drastic measures.

Power must be in one's own hands. The situation must also be controlled in his own hands, which is the basic premise of Zhao Bei's tolerance of the opposition, and this tolerance is conditional.
