The dispute between Li Bufan and Duan Qirui broke up unhappily.

The dispute between the two can be said to be a dispute between the ideas of the Beiyang young Zhuang hawks and the older generation of doves, and in fact it cannot be said who is right and who is wrong. With base vehicles and high-level cloning experts at his disposal, Li Bufan was sure to quickly build an advanced industrial system, and used radical methods to prepare to abolish the unequal treaties in one fell swoop and establish the hegemon of China's Far East; The older generation led by Duan Qirui is more old-fashioned and believes that they should accumulate strength, develop steadily, and gradually rise. After all, the strength of the great powers is too strong, and the matter of Li Bufan's base and cloning experts is also unsightly, and there is no way to explain it, so it is natural to underestimate China's development potential.

Li Bufan knew that Duan Qirui was also thinking about the future of the country, but he was also angry with Lao Duan's stubbornness.

Wu Di shook his goose feather fan and said with a dry smile: "Boss, I have long advised you to simply become the boss yourself, directly become a dictator, and those who follow me will prosper and those who disobey me will die." How can there be so much trouble? Whoever dares to chirp crookedly, even if he doesn't kill him, he will be given a cold bench directly. Only in this way can we enforce the prohibition and truly gather the strength of the whole country to complete the grand cause of the rise of China. ”

Li Bufan said angrily: "Don't you know when I don't know? But that's not how politics works. Although a dictatorship can make a country rise quickly and become powerful for a while, it can be emulated by future generations of people in power, and the impact is far-reaching. We need to leave an example for future generations, which is democracy, so that future generations can understand that politics is the product of mutual compromise. ”

Wu Di sneered: "Boss, what are you doing to build a memorial arch, do you want democracy and kill so many corrupt officials?" Purge the revolutionary party? ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "Corrupt officials are innocent, and the evidence is conclusive. As for the revolutionary party, we have expelled and arrested a lot, but how many have we killed? Except for those on the battlefield, we have killed all kinds of false revolutions. After we have settled on the situation in East Asia, I will even consider asking the Revolutionary Party to formally participate in politics in accordance with the legal process. The things of foreign devils may not be suitable for us, but I think there is still merit in their multi-party elections and taking turns in power, after all, they can supervise and promote each other. ”

Wu Di laughed and said, "Boss, this is not right for you. Let me tell you, the new China of later generations will be the people's democratic dictatorship, with the People's Party as the main body, supplemented by other parties, and with the efforts of successive generations of leaders, it will last for a hundred years and finally become the world's largest power. Why? That is, because of absolute leadership, we should concentrate manpower and material resources to do great things, do the most important, most meaningful, and most beneficial things to the country, and finally accumulate thick and thin. If this is a competition between the two parties, I don't know how much time and money will be spent to curry favor with voters and increase welfare, so how much energy can be spent to feed the national interests and tackle the cutting-edge of science and technology? Boss, democracy is right, but it will have to wait until it becomes the world's number one power. ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "After suppressing Japan and expelling the great powers, my country defeated the entire Western world by itself, isn't it still the world's first power?" ”

"This, this" Wu Di was speechless for a while.

As the situation in East Asia has developed to the present, it is inevitable that China and the Western world will become hostile, and sooner or later the two sides will have a war. Li Bufan and he have already included the war plan with the Western world in the strategic countdown, if the strategic plan is really realized, then China is not called the world's first, who dares to deserve it?

Halfway through, Wu Di smiled dryly: "Hahaha, boss, let's digress." Let's leave the distant matter alone, the top priority is how to convince Lao Duan to support us. These old men grew up under the pressure of the Great Powers, and they have a natural fear of the Great Powers, and it is not easy to convince them. ”

Li Bufan suddenly stared at Wu Di, seeing that Wu Di's heart was furious, and he heard Li Bufan say: "Aren't you a traverser?" Haven't you read thousands of military texts and gathered the great wisdom essence of hundreds of millions of readers? Come up with an idea. ”

Wu Di cried and said with a sad face: "Boss, there is really no way. The military texts we have read are all pig's feet as the boss, or dictator, how can they solve such complex problems? Otherwise, if Duan Qirui doesn't cooperate, let's change someone else to be president? ”

"Bad idea!" Li Bufan scolded angrily, and said a little depressedly, "It's not easy to change." At present, if we need to stabilize the powers, we need Duan Lao, who was previously pro-British and French, to take the position, if this rumor is not released, I am afraid that the powers will have turned against us a long time ago. You must know that the world war was advocated by Duan Lao, and my country joined the Entente, which is a political card that cannot be replaced. ”

Wu Di said dissatisfiedly: "Boss, Lao Duan is not the only one who is pro-British and French, why should he have to?" Besides, Lao Duan's prestige in Beiyang is extremely high, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to clean up when the time comes. I think we might as well support a pro-British and French puppet, so as not to affect the boss's control of the overall situation. ”

Li Bufan sneered: "Do you think the great powers are fools? If we really support a puppet, they won't be able to see it? ”

Wu Di hurriedly said: "But you can also see it now, Lao Duan is against us and the great powers." ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "The top priority now is to stabilize the great powers first, buy time for us, and suppress Japan." There are no excuses, you can make excuses, there are no opportunities, we create opportunities," he said, revealing a chilling tone in his tone.

Wu Di opened his mouth in disbelief, and said half-loudly: "Boss, you are becoming more and more like a politician." ”

－－－－－－－－－－

Duan Qirui was also very annoyed, and the unhappy discussion with Li Bufan was not what he wanted, nor was it what he wanted.

Duan Qirui never expected that the Japanese had not yet done it, and Li Bufan was already making a comprehensive arrangement and turning his face with the Western world, and he no longer knew whether to say that Li Bufan was far-sighted or carried away. It's not that he doesn't want to abolish unequal treaties, of course he wants to, but he thinks it should be done steadily.

Duan Qirui put forward the slogan of "unifying the whole country by force" during the world war, why was that? It was for the sake of unification first, and the countries that relied on the unity took advantage of the great powers to abolish the unequal treaties on the occasion of the great European war, because in his view, the reunification of China could gather a million troops, and the European war made the great powers have no time to look eastward, and it is very likely to succeed. Unfortunately, he failed. And now that the situation is completely different, the world war is over, is China capable of withstanding the siege of the great powers? He experienced the Gengzi Incident and the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

Xu Shuzheng said angrily: "Zhigong, Li Bufan is so disagreeable, he has no one in his eyes. ”

Duan Qirui shook his head and sighed, "Do you think so?" In fact, Li Bufan's concept is correct, who doesn't want to abolish unequal treaties? Who would like their homeland to be oppressed and their people to be enslaved? It's just that this war against Japan was too smooth, which made him think that the strength of the great powers was nothing more than that, and overestimated his own strength. However, no one can deny Li Bufan's ability, he is a genius, and his military, political, and economic affairs are unprecedentedly outstanding. We cannot deny him his ability, his efforts and his contribution to the country because he has made a small mistake. ”

Xu Shuzheng gradually calmed down, and said half-loudly: "Zhigong, calm down and think about it, Li Bufan is not all empty-eyed. In this war against Japan, didn't Japan preach the creation of a 'Verdun of the East' battlefield in the Matsuyama area? At that time, I proposed to bypass the front and attack the Yellow Dragon directly, so as to reduce the consumption as much as possible. However, Li Bufan used to attack the empty places behind the Japanese flank, so as to force Japan to withdraw from the war, and also to preserve China's military vitality as much as possible. Now it seems that he is going to keep his strength against the great powers. So he recounted the situation of that day in detail.

Duan Qirui nodded for a long time and said, "Okay, from this point of view, Li Bufan still knows a little bit of self-awareness. Those who are good at fighting have no outstanding merits and achieve the greatest results at the lowest cost, which is very much in line with China's current national conditions. Li Bufan is indeed extraordinary. But then his mood became bad again, and he said dissatisfiedly, "But, on the issue of the great powers, why is he dizzy?" ”

Xu Shuzheng thought for a while and said, "Zhigong, could it be because Li Bufan participated in the world war of the Somme and the Battle of Verdun?" ”

Duan Qirui was also stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "What do you mean?" ”

Xu Shuzheng said with a straight face: "Zhigong, if the whole country knows about the armies of the Western powers, I am afraid that it is none other than Li Bufan." After all, Li Bufan fought in the German camp against the Entente led by Britain and France for two years in the world war. ”

Duan Qirui really hesitated, there is no doubt that Li Bufan absolutely knows the strength of the Western powers, but why is he still doing this? Li Bufan can't live impatiently and kill himself, right? Other than that, that can only show one thing -- Li Bufan is sure, but there may be some reasons that cannot be said.

Then Duan Qirui remembered Li Bufan's series of victories against Japan, almost all of which were overwhelming victories achieved with a devastating momentum. The Japanese army is definitely not a soft persimmon, it is an army that has defeated the old power Russia, and the Russian army is also one of the main forces in the world war, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the national defense force built by Li Bufan is quite strong, in comparison, it is no wonder that Li Bufan dares to challenge the great powers.

Duan Qirui thought for a long time, looked at Xu Shuzheng and said, "You actually speak for Li Bufan?" He knows Xu Shuzheng very well, and his ability is there, but he is more arrogant and arrogant, and he is almost blind, so he can't understand such a change.

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly: "Zhigong, don't you know who I am?" It's really Li Bufan who is too strong, so strong that I can't rise to be competitive. The gap between us is so great that even jealousy cannot arise, only admiration. Did you know? I am a proud person, but the old country has forced us to whisper to Japan, and sometimes even I feel disgusted. Li Bufan did a good job, he took this bad breath for us, and I accepted it. ”

"Good!" Duan Qirui nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The civil strife in Beiyang over the years has made me deeply understand the importance of unity, and it is really unacceptable to fight for power and profit. In any case, Li Bufan is the irreplaceable leader of our military, and the dispute between us is only a difference of political opinion, and I will continue to communicate with him, and a strong motherland is our common goal. ”
