One hundred and twenty-eight coup d'état VIII

At night, in the bedroom of the suite of the Six Nations Hotel, Luo Yaoguo and his newlywed Yan'er's wife Xiaobei were leaning against each other on the warm and comfortable mahogany bed.

"Little Bey." Luo Yaoguo doted on his wife's forehead and kissed it. "The day after tomorrow, let's go back to Guangzhou with Sun Ke and Biqing."

"Don't!" Xiao Bei snuggled in Luo Yaoguo's arms, her head resting on his solid arms, feeling very secure. Although she also felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, she always felt very reliable with her husband and did not have to worry about anything.

"Xiaobei, be good, obedient." Luo Yaoguo twisted it lightly on Xiaobei's pink and smooth face. "The Beijing-Tianjin area is not peaceful during this time, and most of them are going to fight again, how dangerous is your daughter's family?"

"And what do you do?" Xiao Bei raised her head, and her two big watery eyes stared at her husband's granite-like resolute face, and her eyes were full of worry.

Luo Yaoguo took his wife into his arms. The process of getting acquainted, falling in love, and getting married between him and Xiaobei is relatively dull and does not have much passion. Xiaobei is a well-behaved girl, and she is the kind of traditional girl in China in the 20s, she is not pursuing exciting love, but a lover who stays in the long box. Although Luo Yaoguo is from the 21st century, he is in a high position, in his power, and after a long time in the arms of the beauty, the passion seems to be gradually fading, and he can't say how much he likes it when he sees this girl who is as beautiful as the girl next door.

"I'll be fine." After sighing for a while, Luo Yaoguo calmly said to his wife: "I have agreed with the British and American ministers in the past two days, once there is a change in the capital, I and the delegation will enter the embassy for temporary refuge. They did not dare to enter the embassy, and there was no need to grudge against our Kuomintang. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Bei nodded lightly and asked again, "Who are they?" ”

"Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui, and Feng Yuxiang's generals, they dare not offend Britain and the United States, and they cannot resent the Kuomintang." Luo Yaoguo touched Xiaobei's hair with his hand, and said: "There are a lot of clumsy middle-aged men in the delegation, I have to take care of them, so I don't have the energy to take care of my little princess, so you just obediently return to Guangzhou first and wait for me to come back." I'll be back in Guangzhou by late March at the latest. ”

"But who are they going to deal with?" Xiao Bei bit her lip slightly. "Is it Xiao Ying and Qu Ming?"

"There should still be Feng Yuxiang." Luo Yaoguo nodded. "They've got everything ready, just waiting for the final shot."

"Ahh Xiao Bei exclaimed, "Really? Then you have to find a way to save Xiao Ying and Qu Ming! What good people they are, don't let the bad guys hurt you. Xiao Bei's heart and liver were pounding, as if she saw those hideous-looking Beiyang soldiers raising their ghost-headed knives high!

"Save?" Luo Yaoguo shook his head. "I wish they would have asked me to save me."

Luo Yaoguo knew that he and they were not all the way after all, maybe in their eyes, he was also an accomplice in the massacre of revolutionary aspirants, at least he was now watching the tragedy approach step by step, and did nothing. But what can you do? Let those GCD people leave Feng Yuxiang and run away by themselves? Not to mention whether the GCD people will leave their friends and escape alone, even the agreement between the Kuomintang and Soviet Russia does not allow him to do this, Feng Yuxiang must sit in that position, and what will happen after sitting is none of the Kuomintang's business.

"No! I don't care about others, Xiaoying, you have to save it, or I won't agree. Xiao Bei's little hand twisted around Luo Yaoguo's waist, reminding her husband that he must rescue his good sister.

"Well, I'll try my best, and if I can find her then, I'll bring her into the American legation." Luo Yaoguo naturally didn't want to disappoint his wife, but wouldn't it be more cruel to bring a determined GCD person to the American Legation for refuge than to kill her?

"Well, then I'm relieved." Xiaobei agreed, then rested her head on her husband's shoulder, and fell asleep after a while. It seems that the strenuous exercise just now is indeed very strenuous.

The somewhat carefree Lu Xiaobei naturally does not have insomnia, but Luo Yaoguo, who had always had good sleep quality in his previous life, was plagued by insomnia and nightmares in this life. Behind the young man's ambition and high position is the feeling of walking on thin ice and approaching the abyss. History has been tampered with beyond recognition by him, and now Luo Yaoguo no longer has the ability to predict the bad luck, and can only move forward cautiously in the cruel war and bloody power struggle, and must not make any mistakes, otherwise what he will lose will be everything he has, including his relatives.

After a light night's sleep, Luo Yaoguo woke up early and prepared his wife's luggage by himself, and then, he couldn't bear to wake up his beloved wife, who was still asleep, quietly walked out of the room, and began to arrange today's itinerary. Today he was going to visit General Zhang Xueliang and pay a sum of 2.5 million yuan, which was to buy the Zhang family to support Feng Yuxiang. Luo Yaoguo is now more and more suspicious of the purpose of Soviet Russia, do they really believe that Feng Yuxiang can promote the so-called revolution**? Or just want a central political axe that recognizes the Cullen regime?

Accompanying Luo Yaoguo to visit Zhang Xueliang was He Wang Bailing. The three of them took a car to Zhang Xueliang's Mansion in the French Concession, and now their mood is relatively heavy, and they are speechless along the way. Luo Yaoguo is closing his eyes to recuperate, Sun Ke is looking around meaninglessly, and Wang Bailing is chanting the Sutra of "Amitabha Buddha".

It's not the first time Luo Yaoguo has seen this legendary patriotic general, I wonder if he will be equally patriotic in this time and space? Will Chiang Kai-shek be captured by him again?

Zhang Xueliang was full of spring breeze today, as if there was something happy, and when he saw Luo Yaoguo and Sun Ke walking into the living room with gloomy faces, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Two brothers, Zhesheng and Fuwen, we meet again." ”

After a few words of greeting between the two sides, Zhang Xueliang first stepped into the topic: "My father has agreed to support General Feng Huanzhang as the chairman of the joint political axe, and General Senate Yang will personally represent our Zhenweijun to attend the political consultative meeting of all factions to be held next month. ”

"Thank you Zhang Yushuai for making it complete." Sun Ke owed a slight owe to express his gratitude, and then took the check that had been prepared from Luo Yaoguo. "Here is a check for 2.5 million fiat currency, a little heart of the national political axe, to thank your army for your support, and the other half will be presented after the deed." After speaking, Sun Ke handed the check to Zhang Xueliang with both hands.

Zhang Xueliang took the check and didn't look at it, then picked up a white envelope on the table and put the check in. The 2.5 million is the down payment, and according to the practice of the Republic of China, half of it will be paid after the completion of the matter, and the next payee is Yang Yuting.

After finishing their business, the four of them chatted for a while. Zhang Xueliang seemed to be on a whim and invited Sun Ke and Luo Yaoguo to visit the Northeast. And he also wanted to go to Guangdong to see, by the way, visit the arsenals and steel factories in Guangdong.

"Brother Zhesheng, I heard that your heavy industry in Guangdong is doing well now, and the younger brother also wants to learn from the experience, I don't know if it's convenient?" Zhang Xueliang is really interested in running an industry, so he really wants to go to Guangdong to have a look.

"No problem, we can't ask for it." Sun Ke agreed as soon as he could, and he and Zhang Xueliang fell in love. "Recently, we will borrow 300 million US dollars from a syndicate of banks from the United Kingdom, the United States, and France to build railways, power stations, steel plants, fertilizer plants, etc., and if Brother Hanqing comes back in a few years, we will see even more."

"$300 million!" Zhang Xueliang was taken aback by this inadvertent figure. "That's 900 million silver dollars, can you pay it back?"

"What's wrong with that?" Luo Yaoguo answered this question for Sun Ke, and he said very carefully: "We have now won back the tariff in the south, which is now 20% tariff plus 10% consumption tax, so that not only can our tax revenue increase a lot, but on the other hand, it can also protect domestic industry to the greatest extent." Now that the industrial products produced on our territory have a 20 percent cost advantage over the goods, if we sell them at the same price, our national industries will be able to earn 20 percent more, so that the pace of their accumulation of capital will be greatly accelerated, and our tax revenues will also be greatly increased. In addition, industrial investment can also be greatly stimulated. The money we borrowed from the British and American loans was mainly used for infrastructure and heavy industry, and we specialized in industries that national capital was not capable of doing, and because of the protection of tariffs, these fledgling heavy industries could basically be easily profitable, so we were not under much pressure to repay. ”

In fact, this set of methods for developing industry has long been adopted by the great powers, and basically everyone has done so, only in a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country like China, where tariffs are controlled by foreign countries. Moreover, imperialist countries such as Ben can also engage in smuggling with impunity, resulting in a flood of goods in the Chinese market. It not only dealt a blow to China's industrialization process, but also provided the possibility for the capital to accumulate strength and launch a war of aggression. But now that I am using the Chinese market to grab huge profits to speed up the process of industrialization in my country, the impact of Luo Yaoguo's butterfly effect should be at least slowed down, right?
