While Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing were still discussing whether to return to China, Tou Shanman was still thinking about his Three Kingdoms Theory in his mind, or going further...

"Yuan Wei, who occupies the north, Yan Shu, who is entrenched in the southwest, and Sun Wu, who is supported by our Great Empire, isn't this exactly the copy of the Three Kingdoms? Moreover, Yuan Shikai had a very good relationship with the British, and he was able to get the support of the British, and the alliance between Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing also had our support, as well as that Yan Guang......... Seems to be close to the Germans? ”

Yan Guang did not hide his relationship with the Germans, and the same was true of the order of ten million pounds, firstly, because it was impossible to conceal such a large transaction, and secondly, the more you concealed it, the more others wanted to know what was inside. So in the end, it is better to publish the transaction content generously to cover the deepest transaction content, that is, the content of the agreement on Jiaozhou Bay...

This deal is also the reason why Yuan Shikai invited Sun Huang back, and why Toushan Man said that he would pull the strings from it.

Ten million pounds? You must know that the total amount of the big loan signed by Yuan Shikai is only 25 million, and until now, the loan in Yuan Shikai's hands is only a few million pounds.

As for Tou Shanman, these are said to be myself? They have already gotten their hands on various items on the order list. Whenever they think of the smelting, ordnance, and even shipbuilding equipment on the order, they have a shuddering feeling.

Because if all the goods ordered by this 10 million pounds are all in place and put into use, China's industrial strength can completely surpass that of the capital. You must know that the crude steel output of Yueben is only 382,000 tons, and in China, the total of Qijiang Iron Works and Hanyang Iron Works alone has exceeded 200,000 tons, which is more than half of the crude steel output of Yueben.

If all the 10 million pounds of industrial equipment are available, it will be easy to surpass the industry in the industry...

As for whether this 10 million pound industrial order will become the new Hanyang? At present, the Qijiang Iron Works and the Sichuan Arsenal, which are currently being successfully put into operation, have broken the luck in the hearts of Toushanman and others...

210 caliber heavy artillery, you must know that the largest caliber artillery today is only a 280 caliber field howitzer, and it is also a bronze mortar (imitation Italian gun) used during the Russo-Russian War. The only truly modern large-caliber artillery is the Meiji 45-year 240mm heavy howitzer, which was officially put into service last year, in 1912...

"And Sichuan seems to have begun the first phase of the expansion project of the Qijiang Iron Plant, and after the expansion of the Iron Works, I am afraid that Sichuan's crude steel output will reach 200,000 tons..."

Toushanman guessed wrong, because the goal of the first phase of the expansion of the Qijiang Iron Works is to enhance the existing 100,000 tons of crude steel to an annual output of 300,000, in other words, after the completion of the first phase of the expansion project of the Qijiang Iron Works, with the cooperation of the Hanyang Iron Works, China's crude steel output will surpass the cost. And at the same time, in addition to the Qijiang Iron Works, there is also the Sichuan Arsenal, the core and most important of the Kuomintang Socialist Party...

Of course, China, with its vast territory and abundant natural resources, is industrially on the same level as the barren land, and no matter how you hear it, it is not a very glorious thing. So when the 10 million pounds of production equipment arrives, China will be more than expensive in industry.

You must know that after 1929, the crude steel output of this book was only 2.296 million tons. By 1931, it had fallen back to 1.88 million tons―――――― of course, and then it had skyrocketed. However, by the beginning of World War II, his steel production was still the lowest among the powers, and by the end of World War II, there was only one occupied France...

"It's a pity that the guards around Yan Guang are too tight, and there is an organization called the Military Defense Bureau that is responsible for defense work, otherwise, even if you send someone to assassinate him, it is much better than watching him develop..." Yuan Shikai has the support of the British, Yan Guang also has the support of the Germans, although this support is extremely limited, but his own strength is also the strongest among the many warlords, if I and Chairman Uchida can convince the upper echelons of the political axe to also support Sun Yat-sen's alliance, maybe Yuan Shikai and others can maintain a three-legged posture for a long time. Moreover, as long as time goes on, the maintenance of each other's nationalities will also be weakened, and after the European war, Britain and France and other powers will inevitably turn their attention back to Europe, and then use tactics to make Xinjiang Province, Tibetan Province, Mongolia, Manchuria, and other four regions with different cultures from the Han people, read their strength, and then divide China into seven pieces, and then take this opportunity to support the rulers of Manchuria, and then swallow the whole of Manchuria..."

If Toushan Man knew that what he was in his mind at the moment was the same as the seven-piece China theory advocated by a Taiwanese mongrel decades later, he might ――――――be deeply ashamed, right?

Just when Tou Shanman was still sketching in his mind, Sun Yat-sen over there also stopped discussing with Huang Xing and others.

"I'm sorry, we have to wait for the rest of the meeting to come back before we discuss this matter." Saying that, Sun Yat-sen looked at Lu Zongyu. "Mr. Lu, I wonder if you can tell us some details?"

Hearing Sun Yat-sen say this, Lu Zongyu felt that there was a door, so he hurriedly spoke.

"Absolutely."

Saying that, Lu Zongyu told Sun Yat-sen and others the details of Yuan Shikai's explanation of him.

In fact, it's nothing, that is, to eliminate the wanted warrants of Sun Yat-sen and others, and at the same time is willing to provide a sum of money to help the League return to Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, and the governors of these places can also be re-assigned to the people of the League, and Yuan Shikai is also willing to provide a batch of ordnance to help the League rebuild a group of troops...

Of course, the condition is that the alliance will return to the mainland as soon as possible, after all, if you wait until the Nationalist Army has defeated the Beiyang Army in Wuhan before going back, it will be useless.

And after hearing Lu Zongyu's conditions, Sun Yat-sen and others also nodded slightly, and the light in Chen Qimei's eyes became more and more prosperous...

It was not until Lu Zongyu said all the conditions that Sun Yat-sen nodded to Lu Zongyu.

"Very good, please Mr. Lu and Yuan Xiangcheng wait for a while, we will gather the backbone of the alliance in various parts of the city, and then discuss this matter, and wait until the result of this matter is discussed, and then inform Mr. Lu..."

At this time, the Chinese Revolutionary Party had not yet appeared after all, and the League was not Sun Yat-sen's hall, so Sun Yat-sen had to wait for the backbone of various places to come back before making a decision.

"I hope to get a reply from Mr. Sun as soon as possible, so I'll leave first..."

After getting Sun Yat-sen's reply, Lu Zongyu also knew that this kind of thing could be decided in a while, so after greeting Sun Yat-sen and others and getting closer to each other, Lu Zongyu also smiled and said goodbye to Sun Yat-sen and others.

After Lu Zongyu left, there was only one outsider left in the room.

Mitsuya Toyama knew that it was not suitable for him to stay here alone at the moment, and he also wanted Ryohei Uchida to go with him to convince the upper echelons of the political axe.

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Keqiang, this opportunity is really rare, I hope the two of you must seize this opportunity, there are still some things to retire for the time being, and wait for the two to drink and talk with you." Toushan Man smiled as he spoke. "I hope that by that time, the place where the contemptible people and the two gentlemen will drink and talk will be in China..."

The reason why Toushan Man will accompany Lu Zongyu to come over, Sun Yat-sen and others can more or less imagine, but after hearing that Tou Shanman was going to leave, Sun Yat-sen still smiled at Toushan Man, after all, no matter what, the alliance will take refuge in Yuben, and the Black Dragon Society has also provided a lot of help, and Uchida Ryohei and Toushan Man and others are friends of Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing...

When Tou Shanman left the headquarters of the Alliance, he found that Lu Zongyu and his carriage were still parked in front of the gate.

"I want to thank Mr. Toushan this time, if it weren't for Mr. Toushan, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to enter the door of the Alliance..."

Looking at Toushanman's surprised expression, no matter how you look at it, it is a thief's eyebrows, and Lu Zongyu, who also has a mustache, smiled at Toushanman.

Nodding silently, Toushan Mantong and Lu Zongyu boarded the carriage.

Moments later, the carriage drove towards a well-known Chinese restaurant in Tokyo.

――――――――――

After Toushan Mantong and Lu Zongyu left, and then sent people to contact the backbone of the alliance members in various parts of the city, the members of the alliance in the headquarters fell into disagreements, and the disagreement was naturally whether they should return to China.

Although the revolutionary youth of the League often do many things with hot heads, this does not mean that they are fools, and naturally it is clear why Yuan Shikai invited them back to China...

"Yuan Shikai asked us to go back to China, just to let us stand up for him and face the National Social Army..."

"Everyone here knows this, but if we don't go back this time, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to go back in the future..."

That's right, if they don't take advantage of this opportunity to go back, I'm afraid they won't have a chance to go back. Therefore, in the conference room, the vast majority of people were in favor of agreeing to Yuan Shikai's conditions, even if they knew that Yuan Shikai wanted to use them.

At this time, Sun Yat-sen, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Huang Xing.

"Keqiang, what do you think?"

Since Tou Shanman and Lu Zongyu left, Huang Xing has been sitting still with his arms crossed, even if the people around him have been noisy.

However, after hearing Sun Yat-sen's question, Huang Xing still spoke.

"I think we should go back, after all, the one surnamed Yan had already stated when he announced that he was just crusading against the Yuan family..."

That's right, since they only ask for the Yuan family, then why should their alliance scruples?

As for the Yuan family, what will happen to this surnamed Yan? When the time comes, the eyes of the world will naturally be bright.

――――――――――

Chengdu...

After Yucheng explained his understanding of nationalism to Cai Yi, Yan Guang accompanied Cai Yi to Chengdu by train―――――― anyway, Qianjiang is now a trivial matter, and the supply of ammunition will take at least a month to complete, so Yan Guang has a lot of free time to use.

After arriving in Chengdu, Yan Guang first took Cai Ye to visit the urban area of Chengdu―――――― while visiting, Yan Guang was also being visited by the citizens of Chengdu...

After visiting the city, Yan Guang took Cai Ye to several new schools in the city.

In the school, in addition to teaching more ordinary mathematics, physics and chemistry, the teachers in the school are also instilling the two concepts of the country and the Chinese nation to the students...

"Nationalism starts with dolls..."

No way, after all, in this era, few Chinese understand what a country is and what a nation is, so Yan Guang can only instill this kind of knowledge to these sponge-like children as soon as possible...

However, when Yan Guang took Cai Ye to visit the Ministry of Education, Yue Chang on the side suddenly walked over with a document.

"Governor, the documents sent by the Military Intelligence Agency..."

Seeing Yue Chang's cautious look, he was chatting happily while looking at it, and he didn't notice Cai Yi and Zhang Lan here, Yan Guang slowly opened the document in his hand and read it carefully.

After reading all the contents of the document, Yan Guang snorted coldly and crumpled the entire document. "Boring..."

The content of the document is naturally that Yuan Shikai invited the League to return to China, and was ready to relinquish the three provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu and Jiangxi to the League, and the League had already agreed to this matter...

Of course, the Military Intelligence Agency and the Military Defense Agency have only been in development for two years, and they cannot be as invincible as the KGB and the FBI and CIA in later generations. However, if the scope of the mission is fixed only in China and the surrounding areas such as Yuben, it will be different...

And the MIA uses the most customary means of this era...

"Buy..."

In the process of buying, the people of the alliance are relatively easy to buy, after all, the composition of the alliance is very mixed, and there are all kinds of religions and nine streams. On the other hand, it is relatively difficult for people in Beiyang to buy, firstly, because the quality of Beiyang members is much higher than that of the League, and secondly, because in the early days, the strength of Beiyang was obviously higher than that of the National Socialist Party, and in this case, naturally not many high-level figures were willing to sell themselves in exchange for some small money.

If the Kuomintang fails, and Yuan Shikai gets evidence of his betrayal of information―――――― you must know that although Yuan Shikai is called a living Cao Ying, when he gets the evidence, he will never burn all the correspondence evidence to buy people's hearts like Cao Ying...

When the time comes, I am afraid that it may not be possible to raid the family and destroy the clan, but my head will never be saved.

But...

This situation was reversed after the defeat in the Battle of Qianjiang, and more and more people in Beiyang and the League and among the warlords in various places were willing to be bribed by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and many people had even proposed that they could not need money, as long as they were allowed to join the National Socialist Party.

After all, after the Battle of Qianjiang, many people understood that the general trend was now in the National Socialist Party rather than Beiyang, and if the relationship with the National Socialist Party was established in advance, it would also be very beneficial to their future...

Not only Beiyang, but also the Alliance, understands this.

Therefore, the information in Yan Guang's hand was provided by the Alliance and Beiyang at the same time...

――――――――――

Although Yan Guang and Yue Chang didn't speak very loudly when they talked, when Yan Guang crumpled the documents, Cai Yi's eyes still shifted.

"Brother Yan, is something wrong?"

Because according to the description on the document, the people of the Alliance Association may not be able to return to China in a short time, so Yan Guang doesn't think there is anything to hide from Cai Yi. Therefore, after unfolding the paper ball in his hand, Yan Guang handed the crumpled document to Cai Yi.

"Yuan Shikai has come up with some new tricks..."

Hearing Yan Guang say this, Cai Ye didn't pay much attention to it, but after receiving the documents, Cai Ye found that things were not as easy as Yan Guang said...

"Will the alliance come back?" muttered a few times, Cai Ye looked up at Yan Guang. If the alliance really wants to come back, then the plan to march into the three provinces after the Battle of Wuhan is probably ...

According to the original plan, after the Battle of Wuhan, the Nationalist Army would march into Jiangsu and other three provinces, and at the same time control Nanjing, the political center of South China...

However, if the Alliance had returned before the Battle of Wuhan began, it would have caused some inconvenience to the plan...

As for Cai Yi's attitude towards the Alliance?

You must know that Cai Ye will help Yan Guang, and one of the most important reasons is that Yan Guang is the only person who can end the chaos in China. Originally, there was also a Yuan Shikai for such a character, but unfortunately after the defeat in the Battle of Qianjiang, Yuan Shikai had lost this qualification.

Therefore, although Cai Ye is not without a good impression of the League, if the Alliance will hinder his ideas, he will once again wave his army to suppress the League as he has done in history (during the Second Revolution, he was ordered by Yuan Shikai to enter Sichuan to suppress Xiong Kewu... ）

However, after seeing Cai Yi's frowning brows, Yan Guang smiled and said.

"Don't worry, although this matter is a bit troublesome, it is still very simple to solve it."

However, when Cai Ye asked for a solution, Yan Guang just smiled and did not answer Cai Ye's question.

The matter of the Alliance's return to China is indeed very troublesome, after all, Yan Guang had already made it very clear when he was begging Yuan, and this incident was only to ask Yuan. If you add the alliance, it will inevitably be criticized in the general sense.

But...

"This kind of thing is an excuse, if you want to find it, you will always find it. After the Battle of Wuhan is over, as long as the League has not yet gained a firm foothold in the three provinces of Jiangsu, and makes one or two excuses, then it will not be a very troublesome thing to drive the League out of China again..."

Of course, there is too much criticism, and there is no need for a wanted warrant or something, as for learning from Yuan Shikai to forcibly dissolve the Alliance? This is even more of an unnecessary thing, after all, the foundation of the alliance is now in Yueben, in Nanyang, even if Yan Guang dissolves the alliance, it is a big deal that people are re-established in Yueben...

"But this surnamed Yuan actually invited the Alliance back? It's really hurtful to others and not good for yourself..."

That is, when Yan Guang sighed, Yin Changheng and Xiong Kewu of the Fifth Division of the Nationalist Army, who had to be stationed on the Sichuan-Yunnan border because of the Yunnan Army, had also set off for Qianjiang to prepare to participate in the Wuhan Campaign...

At the same time, the newly established 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Artillery Brigades of the National Army also sent two boats to Qianjiang. So far, except for the Ninth Division of the National Socialist Army that stayed in Guizhou, the main force of the National Socialist Army has all been concentrated in Qianjiang County...
