The signing of the "Sino-Shanghai Treaty" meant the formal end of the Sino-Japanese War, which lasted for more than two months, but in just over two months, the situation in the entire East Asia has undergone earth-shaking changes.

As soon as the treaty was signed, it was immediately reported that in order to celebrate the second peace between China and China, the two sides decided to "meet friends with force" and hold a martial arts competition. And the news spread quickly through the media.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! ”

In the Duan Mansion, Duan Qirui was greatly annoyed. With his understanding of Li Bufan and Li Bufan's attitude towards suppression, where could it be that there be a friend with force, which is almost the same as killing people by force. I don't know how many back-hand moths are hidden. He didn't understand, why did Li Bufan just toss like this?

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly: "It seems that Li Bufan will not let go of himself, and he will find Huo Dongge, clearly asking Huo Dongge to avenge his father Huo Yuanjia." Originally, the competition was nothing, but he was afraid that Li Bufan would take the opportunity to make something out of it. ”

Duan Qirui snorted coldly: "That's for sure. No, I can't let him mess around, I have to stop him. ”

Xu Shuzheng hurriedly stopped and said, "Zhigong, now that the wood is in the boat, the media has publicized this news to the world." If you stop it at this time, wouldn't it have fallen into the prestige of our country, and it would also be equivalent to slapping Li Bufan in the face? I think it's better to ask Tang Shaoyi. ”

Duan Qirui hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Okay, Tang Shaoyi has come to Beijing to sign the "Shanghai Treaty". It is understandable that Li Bufan is young and vigorous and makes such radical behavior, but he is an old diplomat, and how can he mess around with Li Bufan, it is simply too unusual. Again, you have to remember that those who have achieved great things in ancient times are not informal, and they must not be overwhelmed because of a momentary spirit, and they will lose big because of small things. ”

"Yes, Zhigong!" Xu Shuzheng was convinced of Duan Qirui, after all, Duan Qirui's help and support for him could be said to be unprecedented.

In Xu Shuzheng's opinion, Li Bufan and Duan Qirui are not wrong. Duan Qirui is always steady, and he doesn't want to make extraneous branches in order to take care of the overall situation; Li Bufan's use of martial arts to suppress Yueben is not a big deal in his opinion, and the great powers will not turn their faces with China because China "bullied" Xiao Yueben.

Duan Qirui was very annoyed with Tang Shaoyi, and he was still messing around with Li Bufan when he was old, and he didn't care about anything else at the moment, so he went directly to the door with Xu Shuzheng.

Tang Shaoyi's mood is unusually happy, to put it bluntly, this passage is the happiest thing he has said since he became a diplomat, and the whole person seems to be in high spirits, which is really refreshing on happy occasions. Duan Qirui is also an old friend with him in Beiyang, and he is very happy to see him visiting, and he now wants to share this joy with his old friends.

But Tang Shaoyi never dreamed that Duan Qirui would start to go crazy since then, and he was dissatisfied with the martial arts competition.

"Shaochuan, our country is not strong enough now, and we can't lose big because of small things." Duan Qirui said bitterly, "Are you messing around with Li Bufan?" He is still a hairy boy under thirty, and it is understandable that he has just done this, but you have been in politics for decades. Could it be that you are constantly flying, messing up China, and the world? ”

Tang Shaoyi's face gradually sank, and he said: "Chaos Shenzhou, Kou Tianxia?" Zhiquan, such a big hat, I Tang Shaoyi can't afford it. I don't think there's anything wrong with the president's suppression, regardless of how many sins he has done in my country. Just because I can accept such a harsh defeated treaty, I am sure that neither I nor the Western powers will turn their faces against our country for a small contest. ”

Duan Qirui snorted coldly: "Do you think this is just an ordinary competition? ”

Tang Shaoyi smiled and said, "Do you mean that the president wants to create a conflict through this competition and rekindle the flames of war?" ”

Duan Qirui sneered: "There is no doubt about it. Who in the world doesn't know that Li Bufan hates Yue himself and wants to kill him completely. Now that he has been basically disabled, can Li Bufan let go of such a good opportunity? I admit that we now have enough capacity to wipe out the Far East, but we all understand that the strategic layout of the Far East of the great powers will not let the capital be finished. Challenging the bottom line of the great powers again and again is a very dangerous act. ”

Tang Shaoyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Zhiquan, you are thinking purely from a military and political point of view, but there are still many things to consider in a country. In fact, this negotiation is also a test of the attitude of the Western powers. The results show that the Western world is unable or unwilling to wage war in this period, do you understand? ”

"Temptation!?" Duan Qirui gasped, he suddenly remembered that Li Bufan had already arranged a long-lasting war in the Far East with the Western powers, and it seemed that Li Bufan had not wavered in the slightest in this strategic arrangement. He knew there was nothing he could do to stop the war, but he really didn't have much confidence

Nanjing's Provisional Presidential Palace is actually the original Governor's Palace, but also the Governor's Palace, although there is no change, but in the hearts of the people, it is said that it is majestic and sacred, because it is here that the Provisional President of China plans and commands the war, and wins the battle, opening the road to the rise of the Chinese nation.

"Meet the President!" Huo Dongge, the old man of the Baji Boxing King and several famous martial arts masters were like a loud bell, respectfully and respectfully to Li Bufan on the throne of the rivers and lakes hugging fists. Although Li Bufan was young, he dominated the world in a short period of time and defeated the most hated Yue Ben in the Chinese martial arts world.

Huo Dongge and other elites in the martial arts world were also puzzled as to why the Great President quickly summoned them from all over the country after defeating Yu Ben. However, there are some vague expectations in their hearts, which should not be a bad thing in their eyes.

Li Bufan said with a smile: "Heroes don't have to be polite. Have a seat! Let people arrange for the martial arts masters to sit down and serve tea, and then said, "The Manchu Qing Dynasty is in decline and incompetent, and my Chinese martial arts world is also bullied. I know very well that my country's martial arts are broad and profound, far superior to those of the book, but the book has repeatedly relied on the strength of the country to suppress the Manchu Qing Dynasty and use despicable means to persecute our Chinese martial arts community. My Chinese martial arts have a long heritage, and they are the quintessence of our country. ”

"Thank you for your care, I'm really ashamed!" As the eldest, Mr. Wang was naturally pushed as the representative of the reply. Although martial artists don't care much about red tape, this is the presidential palace, which was equivalent to the imperial palace in the former Qing Dynasty, so they don't dare to express their opinions suddenly.

Wu Enemy on Li Bufan's side couldn't stand these twists and turns, and immediately said: "Everyone, let's get straight to the point." The president intends to correct the name of our Chinese martial arts, and everyone knows that the matter of the exchange of martial arts between China and China was strongly requested by the president. We just want to defeat the masters of the martial arts world with dignity and integrity, completely smash the shame of the 'sick man of East Asia' imposed on our country by the Oriental Xiaoyueben, and raise the prestige of our Chinese martial arts. At the same time, in the future, we will also vigorously promote and carry forward our Chinese martial arts, not only to strengthen the body, but also to kill the enemy and serve the country. ”

Old Man Wang, Huo Dongge, and a martial arts master stood up one after another, clasped their fists and saluted again: "The president is willing to correct my name in the Chinese martial arts world, and we are grateful." But there is a life, and I will not give up until I die. ”

Li Bufan was overjoyed and said: "Okay! As the saying goes, 'the great man of chivalry, for the country and the people'. Everyone's heart to serve the country, Li is grateful. ”

Old man Wang said with a smile: "The president has won the award. I don't know what the president is going to arrange. ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "This battle is not so easy. What I mean is to fight to convince the martial arts world, and from beginning to end, completely defeat all the masters in the martial arts world. Of course, I would also like to warn you in advance that there are no rules for this competition. I know that my Chinese martial arts have always put martial arts first, and I very much agree with this. But this time is different, this time it is not a simple competition, but revenge, which is related to the prestige of my entire Chinese martial arts community, and even the prestige of our country. My request is to knock down or even kill the opponent in the shortest possible time. ”

"Kill!?" Li Bufan's words made Old Man Wang, Huo Dongge and a martial artist look at each other.

Wu Di said lightly: "Everyone who competes in the competition is life and death. If you still have the mercy of your subordinates, you may be the ones who die. ”

Old Man Wang sighed slightly: "President, I am afraid that such a killing is not in line with the spirit of my Chinese martial arts. "He didn't expect such a rule, it's not that he's afraid, it's that it's not in line."

Li Bufan sighed and said, "Everyone, why don't I know this? However, if we say that we will not die and our Chinese heart will not die, we must not relax our vigilance, and we must prevent them from making a comeback. As you all know, since the Tang Empire, China has been called the 'Celestial Empire' by all the countries in the world, and I, the Son of Heaven, have become the 'Heavenly Khan'. But what is the name of the emperor of Ben? Emperor! It shows that it peeks into my Chinese heart. We are killing to stop killing, which is an eternal merit for the vast number of civilians in China, so as to avoid another war that will lead to the destruction of human lives. ”

"President Rende, I will not give up until I die!" Old Man Wang, Huo Dongge and other martial artists are not elm pimples, and they have all said this as Li Bufan, if they don't agree, they don't know what to do. Moreover, many of them martial artists also have blood feuds and grievances with the martial arts world of Yueben, if they are not as good as others, they will be beaten and swallowed in the stomach, but it is clear that martial arts are under the other party, and they are persecuted by the other party or other means to be killed or lost, can they not be angry, can they not want to take revenge? As the saying goes, "there is no first in literature, there is no second in martial arts", and those who practice martial arts will inevitably have the heart of competitiveness.

Li Bufan and Wu Di smiled at each other, even if the competition is life and death, whether it is life or death, it can't kill a few little people, but it can suppress the morale of the people at one time, if he makes trouble, it is really welcome. Anyway, when the time comes, they will definitely make a big plaque for Xiao Yuben
