The office building of the Provisional Government of China.

Chen Shao sat in the office with great interest and sipped tea, holding a bunch of photos in his hand and looking at it slowly.

From the good news of Di Wolf last night, Chen Shao was no longer worried about the war. Now it's time to reap the fruits.

Looking at the beautiful photos on the photos, Chen Shao's heart was a little blocked. In the final analysis, Chen Shao is also a patriotic young man, think about the so-called cultural relics in the British Museum and the Louvre in later generations, although there are also the results of the private sale of Chinese cultural relics, but it cannot be denied that many of them were stolen from China.

"The Old Summer Palace!" Chen Shao couldn't help but mutter.

The Old Summer Palace is not only famous for its gardens, but it is also a royal museum with a rich collection. The great French writer Victor Hugo once said: "Even if all the treasures of all the museums in our country are taken together, they cannot be compared with this grand and magnificent Oriental museum." ”

The Old Summer Palace is located in Haidian District, a western suburb of Beijing, adjacent to the Summer Palace. It was founded in the 46th year of Kangxi (1707) and consists of three gardens: Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden. There are more than 100 garden landscapes, with a construction area of about 160,000 square meters, which is a large royal palace created and operated by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty for more than 150 years. The Old Summer Palace is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". In October 1860, the Old Summer Palace was sacked and burned down by the British and French forces, and this event became a page of humiliation in modern Chinese history.

In later generations, Chen Shao went to the Old Summer Palace once, but unfortunately, it was better not to see it. After seeing too much, there was always a sense of anger in his heart that he couldn't vent, and Chen Shao could only stare dryly in later generations. Although he can't see the Old Summer Palace now, Chen Shao can always do something for it and make up for the regrets of his last life.

Just as Chen Shao was looking at the photo in a daze, a knock on the door interrupted Chen Shao's contemplation.

"Come in."

"President, as we expected, Britain and France have already begun to discuss peace talks." Jiang Baili walked in with an excited face, and just closed the door before speaking.

"It is very normal that the British and French people will not agree to fight, and the most important thing is that the British and French governments will not fight." Chen Shao was not too surprised, coming this far was the only choice for Britain and France.

"Chairman, what are you looking at?" After Jiang Baili was excited, he saw the photo in Chen Shao's hand and said.

"Baili, sit down and have a cup of tea and taste my craft." Chen Shao pointed to the chair opposite, and then took out a few photos to Jiang Baili: "These are national treasures!" ”

Jiang Baili finished reading the photo, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Chairman, are you going to..."

Chen Shao washed an empty cup for Jiang Baili, poured a cup of tea from the teapot and gave it to Jiang Baili, and said, "Yes, you have to get some back first!" ”

Jiang Baili didn't have much feeling about these things before, and if it weren't for these pictures of Chen Shao, Jiang Baili wouldn't have thought of these things. In his heart, these are all things of the previous dynasty, and now as long as the current dynasty is strong, it can be regarded as recovering these lost cultural relics, which can be regarded as washing away the shame of the Chinese nation. He somewhat understood Chen Shao's thoughts, in his heart, Chen Shao has always been a nationalist, and he can't bear all the humiliation imposed on China, in fact, not only Chen Shao, but also Jiang Baili, including thousands of military and political officials of the provisional government. It's just that China was too weak in the past, and it didn't have the strength to let Jiang Baili have this kind of thinking at all.

"Isn't the chairman going to take it all at once?" Jiang Baili took a sip of tea.

"It's not that easy to get it all back, and I don't want to get it all back, because there will be a lot of opportunities in the future. Remember what I said, the world will still be in chaos, and that's our chance to really rise. The war between China and Japan, the war between China and Britain and France, wars like this are just petty fights. Chen Shao said these words for the first time, but he didn't say too much, and he understood the truth that if you say too much, you will lose.

Jiang Baili was thundered by Chen Shao's words, and the two wars that decided the fate of China turned out to be petty fights in Chen Shao's mouth. These two wars are definitely at the level of a big war in the eyes of China, and hundreds of thousands of people were mobilized on both sides, with the participation of the navy, land and air forces.

"It's a petty fight, and I really don't know what a big war looks like in the eyes of the chairman." Jiang Baili said this, as if he remembered something, and said: "Chairman, are you saying that there will be wars like World War I in the future?" ”

Seeing that Jiang Baili was frightened by his words, Chen Shao didn't feel strange at all, not to mention that Jiang Baili and others would not think of it at this time, even European countries would not think of it now. If it weren't for Chen Shao's coming from a later generation, he would basically not have thought of this.

"Yes, if this war is said to be World War II, it is also a continuation of World War I, and I can tell you unequivocally that this war is inevitable and will be much larger than World War I." Chen Shao took a sip of tea and spoke again: "Do you know why I don't plan to take all the cultural relics back?" ”

Jiang Baili has always believed in Chen Shao's strategic vision, and in formulating strategies, Chen Shao has always made him and Cai Yi feel like they are out of reach. And the grasp of the international situation also made the two of them admire it very much, especially for the ideas of various countries, and they have always had a feeling of knowing everything about it.

Chen Shao's talk about the Second World War made Jiang Baili think of the conscription plan, as well as the training grounds of several German soldiers in the southwest, and he has been cooperating with Germany all these years. If it were not for the purpose of dealing with future wars, there would be no need for China to do this at all.

"I now kind of understand why the chairman did the way before, chairman, you once again make me feel unfathomable, as if there is nothing in this world that you don't know." Jiang Baili sighed with emotion: "But I really didn't think of the chairman's question, can't you get it back at once!" ”

"When you look at the whole world, you can sit down, and there's nothing unusual. Don't declare this matter either, Brother Songpa can tell it, and others will hold it off. Chen Shao didn't care about Jiang Baili's words, and no one would believe some things when they said them, so it was better to maintain a sense of mystery and let them guess for themselves, "As for why you don't bring back all the foreign cultural relics, I just want to warn all the sons and daughters of China, and let them remember the shame imposed on our nation." Retreat is bound to fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten. Only when a nation becomes strong can it stand among the nations of the world, and only when a country opens up to the outside world and makes positive progress can it continue to make progress. We must not forget the national shame, work hard for China, strive to become the pillars of the country, and not let the historical tragedy repeat! In particular, our national defense forces are the spear and shield of China, and we must always remember our mission, never forget the national shame, and smash all enemies. ”

"I understand, the chairman's deep meaning, I think the whole army can understand." Hearing Chen Shao's words, Jiang Baili was deeply shocked. China is thus the leader, the country is very fortunate, and the nation is very fortunate.

"Now let's talk about it, Britain and France want peace talks, and it is not so easy. How long does it take for Lee to reach the Indian border? Chen Shao said.

"It will take four or five days to arrive in all of them, and isn't the Anglo-French peace talks what we want to see? What else does the Chair have in mind? Jiang Baili was a little puzzled.

"How can it be so cheap, tell Huang Bai to dismiss the British and French forces for me today, and it is up to him whether to surrender or annihilate them all. At the same time, after the Anglo-French coalition was resolved, the area around Vietnam was immediately occupied, and I could take as much territory as I could. Chen Shao picked up the teapot and filled his teacup, and filled Jiang Baili's cup before speaking.

"Does the chairman want to take the opportunity to get more chips?" Chen Shao had said that he didn't want Vietnam's land for the time being, and now that Chen Shao said that he wanted to take Vietnam's territory, Jiang Baili immediately thought of the issue of bargaining chips with Britain.

"No, the British bargaining chip with one India is completely enough, and how many things can France dare not agree to. It's just that I have a new idea these days and want to try it out in Vietnam. Chen Shao said.

"The chairman didn't plan to open a trading city on the border, so what do you have in mind this time?" Jiang Baili was very curious about some of Chen Shao's endless new tricks. The most important thing is that Chen Shao's ideas are very practical.

"The trade cities were opened on the territory of the other side, and now France is asking us to cede the land of Vietnam and Thailand, and together with Burma, I will build three pilot cities, not colonies, but directly incorporated into the territory of China, and new policies will be implemented there. As for what the policy, you'll find out later. Chen Shao said thoughtfully. Chen Shao has not thought through this idea yet, and many things have to be tried out to decide how to take the next step.

"Will the other party agree? Especially on the French side." Jiang Baili said with some doubts.

"It is up to them whether they agree or not, and the French forces in the Far East are almost exhausted. If it weren't for the prevention of a full-scale war, I would now like to take all of Southeast Asia. If France doesn't agree, then we'll have to take it ourselves, and we'll get even more. It's just that the degree must be mastered. Chen Shao is very confident in this.

Jiang Baili nodded and said, "I hope Britain and France can be more interesting." ”

"Order to go down, immediately send troops to surround all British and French concessions in China, temporarily seal up the property of all British and French merchants, launch an investigation of all British and French merchants, and once any illegal traders are found, as long as they violate the laws of China, all of them will be arrested and all their assets will be confiscated." Chen Shao stood up and said with a serious face.

Chen Shao didn't make this move before for fear of bad impact, but now that the battle situation is clear, it's time for them to clean up those arrogant foreigners.
