The flames of Tessie's war were still burning, but the momentum of the Prussian offensive had been contained. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 INFO President Yankee came forward and tried to suspend the two sides, asking for a temporary truce between the two sides. The Prussian army, which had been fighting for a long time and needed to recuperate, finally agreed to a ceasefire after a long period of fighting.

The Entente countries needed more time to recover and lick their wounds, and the battlefields on the eastern and western fronts showed different states, and the western front entered a stage of confrontation, and history said that there was no war on the western front. The battlefield on the Eastern Front became more and more intense, and the Prussian army marched forward with great triumph and continued to advance the front. The Tiele troops, which had the advantage in strength, had never won a single battle. The morale of the soldiers has fallen to the bottom, and the economy has long been bankrupt.

The stubborn Tsar, unwilling to admit defeat, continued to sign one order after another, sending more soldiers to the front to die, and looting the last oats in the peasants' homes for military rations. In order to redeem the defeat, and even abandon the old evil, he sent a secret liaison officer to buy the magic medicine that reversed the tide of the war from Shandong, the Mighty Pill.

The liaison officer came to Jinan with trepidation, fearing that he might be arrested for espionage at any time, or even secretly executed. But I soon found that I was overthinking. Today, Jinan has become a paradise for spies. Albion and the Prussian spies could have a good time, and Capet and the Sardinia spies could attend the reception ball together. The secret front does not need to meet and face each other with swords, everyone just needs to do their job.

Jinan became an active center for intelligence traffickers, where agents from various countries exchanged information and made deals that were not suitable for publicity. In the circle, a certain rumor can also be heard that Jinan can buy a passport from a neutral country. As long as the photo is provided, it is guaranteed that there is no difference from a legal passport issued by the country. Some people suspect that someone in Shandong has bribed diplomats from neutral countries, while others believe that there is an extremely powerful group of document makers in Shandong. Regardless, Tieler's liaison decided to buy himself a passport first.

Compared to the dire situation of Tessie, the feelings of most people of the Republic are no different from those of previous years, there are still natural and man-made disasters, there are still taxes to pay, there are still people who go bankrupt, and there are still people who ...... In short, as it should be, as it should be.

Of course, there are also some places that have changed, such as Kang Zuyi, who once made a big splash in the pre-Jin Dynasty, came out again and carried out cultural revival activities in the capital as the president of the Confucian Church. Advocate the comprehensive restoration of the old rites, take Confucianism as the correct learning, and take the way of Confucius and Mencius as the code of conduct for the people of the world. The president declared Confucianism as the state religion, comprehensively reorganized the official system, and implemented all-round changes to the existing official positions of the Communist Party.

In many provinces, several inexplicable items have been added to the tax contributions, such as dragon clothes donations, dragon flag donations, etc., which have made the lives of farmers more and more difficult, and there are more bankrupts than in previous years.

For other people, the feeling of this winter is extraordinarily warm, and the happy years of the past are finally coming back.

With the outbreak of war, a large number of Tessie's factories were converted to military use, and civilian supplies were severely scarce, so they could only be ordered from overseas. Yankee's products seize the high-end market, and the competitiveness in the low-end market is insufficient. In the past, this part of the market was dominated by Fuso people. But now that Fuso is in turmoil, the troops are mutinied, and the citizens are rioting one after another, this huge cake is gradually sliding towards the reunification.

The factory in Shandong is the biggest beneficiary. Lu goods were originally in the international market to be able to cripple Fusang goods, and now it is a unique show. The expansion of factories in Shandong in the previous stage and the recruitment of a large number of workers played a role at this time. Without a large-scale expansion and enough workers, it would be difficult to fulfill so many orders.

Listening to the roar of the machine and looking at the busy posture of the workers, Meng Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief, the long night was approaching, and he could finally see a glimmer of light. Since the establishment of the republic, today we can see a glimmer of hope.

"Fuso people...... I really didn't expect that the people of Fuso would come to us to buy strong pills! In the small villa, Chen Lenghe, who has been pregnant for two months, is still so graceful. Zhao Guanhou carefully supported her and walked with her in the corridor. In the garden, there are exotic flowers and plants collected from all over the world, and a large part of them comes from the palace of the former Empress Dowager Cixi.

Ah Jiu held Leng He's other hand, nodded and said, "Yes, I'll just say that my brother-in-law is the most powerful, first beat up the Fusang villains, and now, I want them to take the initiative to come to the door to surrender and admit their mistakes." ”

"You can't talk about surrender, you can't admit your mistakes, business is just business, don't mix other emotions. The bait is not so delicious, and if you eat the bait, you have to swallow my hook, take my hook, and I can't lead me by the nose? ”

Zhao Guanhou sneered, "Powerful pills, this thing is addictive!" And it's bigger addictive than duck slices, ten people get it, and nine people can't quit. With Fuso's current ability, it can't be synthesized, and although the people of Albion and I share the recipe, their own soldiers can't use it, so how can they sell it to the Fuso. If he doesn't buy from me, from whom? It doesn't matter who I am, as long as I pay the bid, it doesn't matter if I sell it to them. Besides, it's a Navy friend, how can I not sell it? ”

Behind the Fusang riots, the shadow of Shandong is inseparable. Including the tutorials that Shandong "inadvertently" omitted in the warehouse, and then those strong pills and counterfeit banknotes. These material bases, combined with the factional conflicts of the Fuso people, eventually turned into a catastrophe that could not be contained.

The tank began to gallop, no one could stop it, the navy could only hold on now, the secret procurement never stopped, and the army also felt the effect of the pill and began to place orders to Shandong. Relying on this income, Shandong's losses suffered by the war are recovering at a high speed.

Another heavy blow to Fusang was the actual casualties in the Battle of Weifang. According to the Fusang war report, during the entire Weifang Campaign, the number of Lu troops killed, captured, and wounded was between 13 and 150,000. The exact figures cannot be counted due to discrepancies in the records of each wing.

The losses on the Fuso side were close to 30,000 people, and the ratio of battle losses on both sides ranged from 1 to 4 to 1 to 5. Some conscientious historical inventors in later generations concluded from this part of the record that the Battle of Weifang was actually a victory for the Lu army to lose face and win.

However, the exact data obtained by Fusang's intelligence officers from the Shandong front-line hospitals, memorial to the memorials, and pension distribution agencies showed that the number of killed and disabled of the Lu army during the entire campaign was only about 11,000. Among them, in addition to the more than 3,000 people lost in the previous contact battle, the number of dead soldiers during the Battle of Weifang will be less than 8,000, far less than the Fusang soldiers.

Fuso's own statistics, after excluding the water and special casualty calculations, show that Fusang lost nearly 37,000 generals in the entire Battle of Shandong, including more than 25,000 deaths.

The main reason for this disparity is the difference in the way the two sides deal with the wounded. In this era, heavy casualties did not come from direct injuries from guns, but from wound infections after the war, widespread epidemics of infectious diseases, and pursuit in the midst of dispersal. Relying on careful care, good hygiene habits, and advanced disinfection and suturing concepts, coupled with sufficient penicillin, the infection rate of the wounded soldiers of the Lu army is extremely low, and there is no large-scale infectious disease.

The soldier was wounded, was treated and was soon able to go to the battlefield. On the other hand, in Fuso, due to the disregard for logistics and medical care, coupled with the lack of preparation of medicines and medical equipment, a large number of soldiers were disabled or even killed due to injuries.

Although in the statistics, the Shandong side lacks the number of losses of the volunteers, but even so, the Fuso Army was unable to achieve one-to-one casualties with the Lu army, which was already an unprecedented defeat.

After careful investigation, the navy found that there were serious loopholes in the army's logistics and penicillin reserves in order to save money and expand the army before the war. The Navy, which had originally declared itself bad because of the Siemens incident, turned over by relying on this incident and successfully pushed the dissatisfaction back to the army.

Now that the two sides are frequent, Tokyo has lost its function as the capital, and the cabinet members are divided into two factions, each with a temporary cabinet. There are often clashes between armies, and for the Communists, it is naturally good news. Zhao Guanhou provided the relatively weak navy side with strong pills at a low price, and also provided a large amount of forged Fusang gold yuan to help the navy buy the army. The navy returned to the Lu army with the army's intelligence and valuable goods.

Some businessmen who have access to the road see business opportunities in this, and as middlemen, they first buy these medicines from Shandong through their connections, and then sell them to the military at a higher price. According to Chen Lenghe's analysis, it will not take long for Fusang to continue like this, because of the high prices and insufficient currency, the fake Fusang gold yuan will be recognized as genuine currency for local use.

Another unexpected patron turned out to be the Prussians, who were almost unable to fight on the battlefield of Tessie. The problem of Prussia's underpopulation has always been its weakness.

As the battle grew bigger and bigger, the veterans who had been trained for a long time fought fewer and fewer, and the combat effectiveness of the recruits was seriously insufficient. Coupled with the fact that the fighting will of the soldiers of the Entente using the Powerful Pill was obviously stronger than that of the Prussian army, the General Staff already felt a little difficult to support. I had to pinch my nose and start purchasing from the Lu army.

"Prussia is thinking of deducting with loans, dreaming! If you don't give money, don't even think about taking the goods! Only Li Man can get my assistance to offset the part he deserved in the previous night battle at Longkou. As for the others, they must pay the gold bars and silver dollars or the Albion pounds, otherwise they will not want to take delivery of the goods. I think most of them will organize medical scientists to do some research, but that doesn't work. In the current situation, there is no time for him to slowly analyze the ingredients and imitate them on a large scale. Just like penicillin, it has to be imported. ”

Zhao Guanhou waved his hand excitedly, "Think about it, Taixi is fighting everywhere, but the position is filled with the fragrance of Shandong's strong pills." As the war spreads, Mighty Pills will spread throughout the countries of Taixi. After the war, there were a large number of addicts, waiting for this thing to save their lives. I don't care who wins or loses, they can make a lot of money, am I very capable? ”

Chen Lenghe smiled, "Yes, of course you have enough ghost thoughts, just like me, taking your benefits, did I bite your hook, I can only be at your mercy." ”

She touched her belly, and Zhao Guanhou immediately accompanied her with a smile, "If this is not true, my Mrs. Songjiang is the most capable, she is a highly talented student studying in Taixi, and her strategy is a hundred times better than my handsome." Only you lead me, how can I lead you? You and they are different, different. ”

The three of them laughed for a while, Ah Jiu went to get a snack with interest, and Chen Lenghe took the opportunity to fall into her husband's arms. "A, if it were me in the past, I would definitely be resolutely opposed to you engaging in this kind of thing. Especially the duck slices, I will definitely turn against you, and maybe even burn your duck slices warehouse. But now, when I hear you say this, what I think about is how much money I can make. What should we do to ensure that we have the most profit in this business? And thinking, how to get more shares for our children, you know, I like those little hairy ones very much. But now, he wants to fight for his unborn child and fight for property with Xiao Maotou. Am I bad and unlovable? ”

"Nothing." Zhao Guanhou hugged her and comforted: "You will always be so kind and so cute." It can only be said that in the past, you were more important than reality, but now reality is more important than ideals. How can it be considered a fault for a person to plan for himself? I'm doing this, in the end, not for myself? If the Fusang people didn't fight my Shandong this time, but went to fight other provinces, I would have donated money and materials at most, so that I wouldn't have made such a big enmity with them. I'm a layman, you're a fairy, and I'm most afraid you'll fly. Now that you have become a layman, I am relieved. ”

The two of them were entangled together, quite emotional, but they were just hindered by the real pregnancy, and they didn't dare to make big moves. At this time, Ah Jiu ran over panting, holding a newspaper in his hand, "It's not good, it's not good, something happened to Songjiang." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhao Guanhou and Chen Lenghe stretched out their hands almost at the same time, Ah Jiu didn't know who to give the newspaper to, Zhao Guanhou smiled: "You, I'm getting stupider and stupider, I'm the biggest in the army, and my wife is the biggest at home, of course it's for my wife, you can be stupid." ”

Ah Jiu stuck out his tongue and handed the newspaper over. Chen Lenghe saw that the front page was prominently published: "Songjiang Town Guard Zheng Xiangcheng was assassinated today, the murderer was arrested, and after investigation, it was ...... for Sun Wei to organize important cadres"

Emperor Sun, the name that once made Chen Lenghe an idol, now seems so unfamiliar. After reading it, she just said in a questioning tone: "What's all the fuss about?" The surname Zheng is not a good person, and he has beaten Anne's idea, if it weren't for Guanhou's face, maybe he would be tough. It's not a big deal to be killed, as soon as he dies, Matsue guards the air, and Darling can arrange for his own people to go over. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled: "The tone in which you speak now is becoming more and more like Shandong's housekeeper." ”

"Of course, Shandong is your foundation, and the future is the foundation of our baby, of course I have to think about the baby. Isn't that normal? ”

Ah Jiu hurriedly said: "No...... That's not true. This kind of assassination, generally there will be a riot later, and as soon as there is a riot, there will be a war, and when there is a war, won't my brother-in-law go to war again? ”

"He's mine, and he's not allowed to go anywhere." Chen Lenghe grabbed her husband's arm domineeringly, looked at her provocatively, and seemed to say: If you have the ability, go and see. Zhao Guanhou reached out and gently pinched her nose, "Naughty." What are you going to do if I do go to the front? ”

"If you really dare to go, I will go with you, and then see if you can bear to suffer together. Shandong's economy has just improved, and if we go to war again, then we will lose all our belongings. I believe that you are not such a stupid person, and you will definitely not fight such a battle...... By the way, Ah Jiu, you can help me send a telegram to Anne and ask her to pay attention to her safety. After the assassination, I don't know what kind of turmoil will happen next, I don't want anything to happen to Zhengyuan. In Songjiang, we still have a large amount of investment, and China's economy has easily improved, which is the hope of the common community, and it cannot be destroyed just like that!
