Guo Yu put down his pen, looked at Zhou Wu and said, "The government of the Republic of China sent people, who are here?" Guo Yu is a little strange, what is the matter with the government of the Republic of China sending people now.

"There is Boss Xu Shichang, as well as Foreign Minister Wu Tingfang, Vice Minister of the Army Xu Shuzheng and a man named Jin Yunpeng, who is the director of the Army Office, and some other entourage." Zhou Wuda.

Guo Yu was happy when he heard it, "It's spectacular enough, they are all big shots, but since there is Boss Xu Shichang leading the team, it's not easy to slack off, where are they?" Guo Yu asked.

The longer he stayed in the Republic of China, the more Guo Yu naturally read the books of later generations, and learned about the current officials of the Republic of China, and even the characters who will make their careers in the future.

Mr. Xu Shichang has had many contacts with himself, and both sides now have a little bit of a year-old friendship, so with Mr. Xu leading the team, Guo Yu is not good at slacking.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ng Ting-fong is also a strange person, he is the first Chinese to obtain foreign lawyer qualification, and he is also the first Chinese barrister in Hong Kong and the first Chinese non-official member of the Legislative Council. After returning to China to engage in politics, he was a well-known diplomat in modern China.

He served as Minister to the United States, Spain, and Peru. When he was a diplomat overseas, he overwhelmed the arrogance of Westerners and aroused their curiosity by his strange behavior and strange remarks, and he was able to make a representative of a weak country respected by many foreigners.

Xu Shuzheng and Guo Yu have also been in contact, although it is just a mobile phone in such a hurry to read novels, which one is stronger? The mobile phone reading network was on the one hand, but the two felt a little unhappy at that time. Guo Yu knows that Xu Shuzheng is very arrogant, and he is a little cautious, lacking tolerance, he always compares others with his own talents, and always looks down on those who are not as good as him. He is also harsh on his subordinates.

Perhaps the only commendable thing is when Xu Shuzheng was the Northwest Frontier Envoy and Commander-in-Chief of the Northwest Frontier Army in 1919. He led troops into Outer Mongolia and forced Outer Mongolia to formally abolish its autonomy and return to China on November 17, 1919.

As for the director of the Army Office named Jin Yunpeng mentioned by Zhou Wu, he was also a big man, and he actually achieved the position of prime minister a few years later. That is where Duan Qirui is now.

Army general, who had been the overseer of Shandong, was removed from his post in April 1916 because of a telegram urging Yuan to resign and let Xian go, but he also won the false reputation of "reversing the imperial system". Now it is reused by Duan Qirui, loyal to Duan Qirui's military unification policy and pro-Japanese policy, and has signed three humiliating treaties with Japan on behalf of the Beiyang government, including the "Sino-Japanese Army Joint Defense Military Agreement".

Regardless of whether Jin Yunpeng is really pro-Japanese or not, Guo Yu still doesn't like what he does, so he doesn't have a good impression of this Jin Yunpeng in his heart.

"This group of people has already arrived in Shanghai. I was going to take the train to Suzhou tomorrow, but the government of the Republic of China did not greet us in advance, and even this notice was a document sent by the other party in advance, and no telegram was used. Zhou Wu replied.

Guo Yu couldn't guess what these people were thinking, whether they were preparing to make a secret visit and not be known by other forces or the Japanese, or whether they had other purposes, Guo Yu didn't know. However, with the current state of the Republic of China, it is necessary to keep such a secret. It's really unlikely, the spies sent by the Japanese military have extended to all corners of the Republic of China, as long as the Republic of China government takes a little action, the Japanese will know, so Guo Yu feels that these people are a little eager to cover up.

As for what these people talk about with themselves. I guess it's the dirty things between myself and the Japanese, come on, just see what the government of the Republic of China wants to say, you have a thousand clever plans, I have my own rules.

Guo Yu instructed Zhou Wudao: "You sue sù Erzhu." Tomorrow I asked him to send someone to greet him, and I won't come forward, and I'll apologize to Master Xu Shichang for asking Erzhu to take me, and the others will just follow the procedure. ”

The delegation sent, except for Xu Shichang, the others Guo Yu has not been put in his eyes, now his identity is different, the two sides can't let the big boss play as soon as they get on the field, they always have to leave some hole cards, if it is Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui, even if Feng Guozhang comes in person, Guo Yu is naturally not good not to come forward.

However, since they are officials under these people, in an equal way, Wu Erzhu's appearance is not an insult to the identity of these people.

On the train from Shanghai to Suzhou, members of the delegation of the Republic of China government, Mr. Xu Shichang, Minister of Foreign Affairs Wu Tingfang, Vice Minister of the Army Xu Shuzheng, Director of the Army Office Jin Yunpeng and their entourage, occupied a carriage, and several bigwigs were sitting together in the carriage chatting.

"Brother Bu Wu, you and the Master Guo we want to meet are also old acquaintances, what is your impression of him, and a few of us have a good idea in our hearts." Wu Tingfang asked Xu Shichang.

Although Wu Tingfang is a few years older than Xu Shichang, Xu Shichang has been a secretary of state after all, although he is now idle, but the people present respect him very much, hearing Wu Tingfang's question, Xu Shuzheng, Jin Yunpeng and others also quieted down to listen.

"Brother Mingxu, speaking of which, the only time I really had a relationship with this Guo Yu overseer was the last time I came to Suzhou, and when I persuaded him to cancel independence, the other two times were just a meeting, but Guo Yu still misses the old feelings, and thinks that I helped him at that time, and I can be regarded as giving me some face."

"If you really want to talk about it, this Lord Guo gives me the feeling that he is very straightforward, there are no twists and turns, sometimes he doesn't care about his temper, but sometimes he feels that he thinks very deeply and far, and his methods must not be underestimated."

"The first time I met him was in 1914, when I was the secretary of state, at that time he was just a small businessman, and he did some charity before the government knew that there was such a person, but if you want to talk about achievements, that is, an antique dealer, you think about it, 1914 has only been a short period of more than two years, but what is the point of his development now, sitting on a province, doing a job with Britain, France and the United States, daring to attack the Japanese, how can he be a good person."

At this time, Xu Shuzheng interjected: "We have always been curious, where did this Guo Yu come from so much dependence, if it is supported by the great powers behind it, it can also make sense, but now it seems that this may not be the case, this Guo Inspector does not seem to have much contact with the top level of the US Congress except for some industries in the United States, let alone other countries." ”

"But without the support of the great powers, how did he make his fortune, according to the investigation, his Huafu army has a lot of weapons, even the current armies of the great powers have not been equipped, otherwise now that the European war is in full swing, these European countries would have used these weapons on the battlefield a long time ago."

"His development has exceeded common sense, there must be a reason we don't know, take this Shanghai naval battle as an example, who has ever heard that Guo Yu has such a fleet, a naval battle, completely annihilated the Japanese Second Navy fleet, this is definitely a miracle, but from this point of view, I still admire this Lord Guo."

Wu Tingfang also said at this time: "In this naval battle of Shanghai, the government of the Republic of China has received strong pressure from the Japanese government, but I always feel that the current actions of the Japanese government are a bit of a bluff, which is somewhat different from their previous practices. ”

Xu Shichang said: "Although it is just speculation, I feel that the Japanese government must have some scruples, otherwise it would have sent another of his fleet to the Republic of China a long time ago, and it is impossible to just keep protesting there, even if war is declared now, there is no actual action, otherwise the two countries declare war, at least there must be some military action, even the army of Manchuria, Northeast China and even Qingdao has not taken any military action." ”

Jin Yunpeng said: "It cannot be said that there is no action at all, there is intelligence that Japan plans to increase the number of troops in the northeast, and it is expected that within half a year, the increase will be about 100,000 troops, which can initially form the force of World War I." ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "I just heard how elite Guo Yu's Huafu Army is, I haven't really seen it, if I have the opportunity this time, I really want to go to Huafu Army to see, and I can understand the strength of Huafu Army." ”

Wu Tingfang asked Xu Shichang at this time: "Brother Buwu, do you think we can achieve our goal when we come to Suzhou this time?" ”

Xu Shichang smiled lightly on his face and said: "It's hard to say this, I also thought about it for a long time before I came, but I can't be sure what kind of attitude that Guo Overseer is, so it's really hard to predict what the result will be." ”

This time I came to Suzhou to talk with Guo Yu, the leader was mainly Wu Tingfang, Xu Shichang was an invited peacemaker, but Wu Tingfang was a person who could do things, and gave the leader of this delegation to Xu Shichang, but Xu Shichang himself knew that the outcome of this matter would not have much impact on him, so he was smooth in his heart, unlike Wu Tingfang, Xu Shuzheng, Jin Yunpeng and others, who came with a task.

Shanghai is not far from Suzhou, and in the small talk of several people, the train entered Suzhou Station. The train slowly entered the station, and the carriage of Xu Shichang and others happened to stop at the designated position, and now the platform of this carriage is already full of soldiers of the Huafu Army, forming an encirclement and isolating this place, but it does not affect ordinary passengers to get off.

Guo Yu explained that Wu Erzhu would pick up people, but only Wu Erzhu and Cheng Quande were the senior generals of the Huafu Army in Suzhou, and the other division commanders were all in their own stations, so in addition to Wu Erzhu and Cheng Quande, there was only one staff officer who came to pick up people.

Xu Shichang and Wu Tingfang were the first to get out of the car, Wu Erzhu also knew this Lord Xu, and knew that his master valued this Lord very much, and introduced him last time that this Lord Xu was kind to Guo Yu, so he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly brought someone forward.

Wu Erzhu first saluted, and then said, "Elder Xu, welcome to Suzhou again, my lord specially sent me to pick you up, and the lord said that he had set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain you and the adults from the government of the Republic of China." ”

"General Wu, meet again, let me introduce you, this is Wu Tingfangwu, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China." Xu Shichang introduced Wu Tingfangdao. (To be continued......) R1292
