Chapter 238: Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Invite the Kuomintang to return to the mainland? Invite the KMT, which had already been forcibly disbanded by Yuan Shikai, to return to Chinese mainland?

Well, the above two paragraphs are not wrong, just a sigh.

"Mr. Lu, I heard you right, right?"

Although they had already sat down, Sun Yat-sen and others still had an expression of "did I hear it wrong".

It's no wonder, after all, they were all driven out of China by Yuan Shikai at the beginning, and even the former Kuomintang was disbanded by Yuan Shikai himself. Now that the two sides have become enemies, Yuan Shikai invited them back? Isn't this a joke or what?

However, when Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing and others had an unbelievable expression, Chen Qimei, who was accompanying Sun Yat-sen, had a brighter eye...

"This..."

Seeing Sun Yat-sen's look of disbelief, Lu Zongyu also smiled bitterly.

In fact, Yuan Shikai invited Sun Yat-sen and them back to China, not because Yuan Shikai found out about it, but because he wanted to unite with the Kuomintang who had been expelled from China by him.

Although the Kuomintang had collapsed in the Second Revolution, and revolutionary leaders such as Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing had died one after another, in the south, the Kuomintang still had deep roots. As long as Sun Yat-sen and they can return to the south, it is still no problem to pull out a few divisions of troops―――――― although in the end they are likely to be just some very ordinary miscellaneous cards, and even miscellaneous cards are not as good as...

Of course, Yuan Shikai also thought that Sun Yat-sen and they might not stand with him, after all, they were all expelled from China by themselves, and the Kuomintang was dissolved by themselves.

So for Yuan Shikai, as long as the KMT can return to China, it is fine.

Although Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui had already reorganized their troops in Wuhan, and Yuan Shikai himself sent a lot of troops south to reinforce him, he did not have much confidence in the final outcome of the battle. After all, the real combat effectiveness in Beiyang is always the six towns of Beiyang and those new troops left over from the former Qing Dynasty.

At the time of the Qianjiang Campaign, these truly combat-effective troops suffered heavy losses in Qianjiang, and they were all wounded one by one. And now among the reinforcements sent to Wuhan, except for the 1st Division and the 47th Mixed Brigade, there are few who have combat effectiveness...

Will Beiyang suffer another defeat in Wuhan? Yuan Shikai was already prepared for this kind of thing in his heart.

So now he has to pull foreign aid for himself, at least to create some trouble for Yan Guang.

And the Kuomintang is the best prop in Yuan Shikai's hands.

"Didn't the one surnamed Yan always say that Chuan Gui Reading Power was to crusade against me? Well, I will bring back Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, and at the same time relinquish the territory of Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Anhui to the Kuomintang. At that time, even if the surnamed Yan really wins Huafu and them, we will have to retreat to the north, but in the three provinces of Jiangxi and Jiangsu, I want to see how this surnamed Yan eats? ”

Although many people know that Yan Guang, a warlord who only announced reading power after the defeat of Sun Yat-sen and others, the reason for reading power was definitely not what he said verbally, only to ask Yuan...

Especially after Qianjiang defeated Yuan Shikai's heavy army, the world understood that Yan Guang had only one purpose, that is, to unify the whole country.

But when announcing Reading Power and the Northern Expedition, Yan Guang's banner was only a crusade against Yuan Shikai after all.

In other words, if Yuan Shikai had retreated to the north at this time, and the three provinces of Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Anhui, which he had always wanted, had all returned to the hands of the Kuomintang, at that time? What should Yan Guang do?

What's more, the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang was not so good, especially after the failure of the Second Revolution and the flight of Sun Huang and others, the Kuomintang announced the matter of reading power, and the Kuomintang people hated the Kuomintang even more.

When the Kuomintang returned to the mainland, the Kuomintang Army defeated the Beiyang Army in Wuhan again, and the army pressed the border, at that time, even if the Kuomintang really had no intention of the Kuomintang territory, I am afraid that the Kuomintang people would take the initiative to find Yuan Shikai...

――――――――――

After hearing Lu Zongyu's explanation, the expressions on the faces of Sun Yat-sen and the others changed for a while.

Returning to the mainland, of course, this is the wish of Sun Huang and others, especially when they left the mainland, Sun Huang and others swore in their hearts that they would one day return to the mainland.

It's just that when they left, it was precisely when the Second Revolution failed, and Yuan Shikai was like Zhongtian, so Sun Huang and others didn't know when this wish would be realized.

And now, Yuan Shikai sent Lu Zongyu to personally invite them back to the mainland...

"Keqiang, you say..."

Although Sun Yat-sen had a great conflict with Huang Xing because of the failure of the Second Revolution, Sun Yat-sen still discussed with Huang Xing at this time.

As for Huang Xing? Although he was scolded by Sun Yat-sen shortly after he arrived at the book, he was accused by Sun Yat-sen in front of everyone as one of the reasons for the failure of the second revolution (Sun Yat-sen believed that the second revolution would fail, not because Yuan Shikai had a strong army, but because the party members were free and loose and refused to listen to him, the party leader...... )。

However, Huang Xing was upright and always believed that only Sun Yat-sen was the most suitable person to be the party leader in the Kuomintang. In addition, at this time, there was no Chinese Revolutionary Party that made Sun and Huang completely break up (because they felt that the failure of the second revolution was because the party members were disobedient, so it was decided to establish the Chinese Revolutionary Party, and all party members had to swear allegiance to Sun Yat-sen according to their fingerprints, which Huang Xing fiercely opposed) So although Huang Xing was somewhat unhappy about being scolded for being bloody, Huang Xing never held a grudge against Sun Yat-sen.

It's just that Huang Xing really didn't have any idea in this matter, so he didn't come up with a reason after thinking about it for a long time.

Fortunately, Sun Yat-sen and the other backbone of the alliance around him were very clear about Huang Xing's surname, and knew that if Huang Xing really resented Sun Yat-sen because of the previous incident, he would definitely not be the same expression as he is now, so even if Huang Xing was silent there, they didn't take it to heart.

And at this time, seeing everyone like this, Tou Shanman smiled after standing up.

"Mr. Sun and Mr. Keqiang, when they were drinking with the two of them, didn't they always say that they wanted to establish a free and equal new Republic? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, why should you give it up? ”

Behind the scenes of this incident, it is natural that there is the participation of Yu himself.

Especially the Black Dragon Society, as the "friends" of Sun Yat-sen and others, the president of the Black Dragon Society, Ryohei Uchida, and the second person, Touyamamitsu, can be said to have been deeply involved in this matter.

Without him, because for himself, a chaotic China is the most ideal.

Like Yuan Shikai's strong China after reunification? or the new Republic of China after the reunification of Sun Yat-sen and others, it is not a good thing for Toushanman and them.

Of course, Yuan Shikai's China and Sun Yat-sen's China are still good to say, but for Toushanman, the most alarming thing is the possible emergence of a "socialist New China"...

In China, the Black Dragon Society has intelligence strength comparable to that of the national level, not to mention that at this time, Ben and Britain are still allies, and there is also a certain amount of intelligence exchange between the two, so what happened in Sichuan and Guizhou, Uchida Ryohei and Toyama Mitsuru and others are also very clear...

"Qijiang Iron Works, Sichuan Arsenal......... Is there still a Yucheng shipyard? ”

If the Qijiang Iron Works and the Sichuan Arsenal only made Yue Ben wary and attached importance to Yan Guang, then the appearance of the Yucheng Shipyard had to make Toushan Man look at Yan Guang differently.

After all, China has been a land country since ancient times, and even in the Ming Dynasty, when Zheng He went to the Western Ocean, he began to implement a maritime ban after going to the Western Ocean. In other words, China, a continental country, may be very powerful to Yuben, but it is not too threatening, after all, without a strong navy, China cannot threaten Yuben, which is an island nation.

Of course, a strong China, even if it is just a land country that does not attach importance to the sea, will not be able to make the book smoothly satisfied, and even North Korea may not be able to...

However, Yan Guang is different, in Toushanman's opinion, Yan Guang is an alternative, an alternative Chinese.

Far from the presidential and cabinet systems advocated by Sun Yat-sen and Soong Jiaoren, the system of state socialism in China was relatively [***] and more suitable for China's national socialist system...

At the same time, he himself also attaches great importance to the development of the army, education and industry―――――― even if the army is counted, after all, it is normal for a warlord to pay attention to the army, but if you pay attention to education and industry...

Of course, the biggest threat is its focus on the ocean.

First of all, as an ordinary warlord, this man named Yan Guang actually built a shipyard at the end of the Yangtze River? And according to the report of the spies sent by the Black Dragon Society, in the shipyard, Chinese designers are designing 1000-ton destroyers and 3000-ton light cruisers under the guidance of some German designers ...

Destroyers are also forgotten, after all, 1000-ton destroyers can also sail freely in the Yangtze River.

But what about a 3000-ton light cruiser? You must know that this section from Yucheng to Yichang can only allow 1,000-ton ships to sail, and 3,000-ton ones can only be used in the Yueyang area, and according to intelligence, these designed 3,000-ton light cruisers are very suitable for ocean voyages...

"It's just an ordinary warlord who has already set his sights on the ocean, if he really controls China, then I say that this empire still has a way to live?"

China's land area is much larger than that of the capital, and the same is true in terms of resources. If China is really allowed to develop, it will not be China's opponent in terms of industry. And when a powerful industry is combined with a powerful figure who is equally ambitious about the sea, all that can be produced is a powerful navy...

"It's a pity that there has not been a war in Europe yet, and the Yangtze River valley is still the power of the British, otherwise, even if the people from the military department are instigated to send troops to intervene in the Chinese civil war, why not..."

However, since he could not intervene militarily, Toyama Mitsuya had no choice but to attack other directions.

For example, my favorite Three Kingdoms...

It is said that my favorite is the Three Kingdoms, and Toushan Man naturally hopes that China can become like the Three Kingdoms, for example...

"Yuan Shikai's Wei, Yan Guang's Shu, and Sun Wu, who I support..."
