After a day and a half of crawling on the Beijing-Tianjin line, and after being inspected by the workers' pickets, the peasant Red Guards, and the Feng warlord troops, the slow train finally entered the Tianjin Railway Station. Luo Yaoguo and his entourage were unscathed, because neither side was now willing to offend the Kuomintang in the south.

Luo Yaoguo came back to Tianjin to send money this time. Hehe, send money to Zhang Zuolin and ask him to support Feng Yuxiang as the leader of the joint political axe at the political consultative meeting of various factions in March. Then, Zhang Zuolin took the money and then went to buy Feng Yuxiang's generals to defect. Is this the politics of the Republic of China?

As soon as he returned to the Six Nations Hotel in Tianjin, before he had time to get into his newlywed wife's arms to warm up, he let the eldest prince Sun Ke pull him up. "Fuwen, you come with me, I have something to show you." Sun Ke's bun face was puffed up, as if he was very unhappy, and after dragging Luo Yaoguo into his room, Sun Ke handed over a newspaper, "Ta Kung Pao" on February 5, which was a very influential newspaper during the Republic of China.

On the front page of Ta Kung Pao on 5 February, there was not very good news -- the authorities of Yanjing and Feng Yuxiang planned to admit that Kulun was a puppet political axe! According to inside information disclosed by Ta Kung Pao, the Feng Yuxiang authorities have already negotiated with the Soviet ambassador to China, Garahan, to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Mongolian Socialist Republic when the United Political Axe is established.

"Is this true?" Sun Ke asked angrily: "This matter has been in an uproar in the past two days, Fuwen, what do you say?" Do we still want to attend the political consultative meeting of all factions in Yenching? Before Luo Yaoguo could answer, Sun Ke replied by himself: "I think we should go home, now we have half of the country, Britain and the United States are willing to support us, what are we still doing with Soviet Russia?" ”

Luo Yaoguo's brows tightened more and more, he thought about it in his heart, and found that this matter seemed to be unfavorable to Feng Yuxiang left and right. If Feng Yuxiang now states that Mongolia is part of China, I am afraid that his relations with Soviet Russia will break down, and naturally GCD and Feng Yuxiang will also be estranged. On the other hand, if he admits that there is such a thing, then the relationship between the KMT and Feng Yuxiang will break down, and he will not even support him at the CPPCC of various factions. So now his only option is to remain silent, but will Soviet Russia be satisfied with this attitude? Will the right wing of the Kuomintang be satisfied?

"Brother Zhesheng, what did you just say that Britain and the United States are willing to support us?" Luo Yaoguo felt that the affairs of Outer Mongolia were not easy to handle, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Oh, I just found out about that. The Nationalist Government is now negotiating a large loan with a syndicate of banks from Britain, the United States, and France, and is preparing to use the tariffs of the 13 southern provinces (regions) as collateral to borrow $300 million for the construction of railways, steel plants, fertilizer plants, and a large number of other projects. In addition, there are some arms procurement projects, and this time the British ambassador Ma Ke wants to meet you because of arms procurement. Speaking of this news, Sun Ke's face immediately softened a lot, like Sun Ke, a bourgeois Mingzhuo faction who has been in the United States for many years, is naturally pro-American, and now Britain and the United States are willing to support it, so they are naturally overjoyed.

"Oh, I see." These things have long been expected by Luo Yaoguo. "Okay, we'll go to the British Minister at once, and see what old goods he has to sell us."

The Kuomintang was now in the south behind closed doors, and although it caused an uproar among the [***] lords and friends (short friends), the treasury was suddenly abundant. The British, American, and French powers, who smelled the smell of money, naturally couldn't wait to get together. chased Hu Hanmin, Wang Jingwei, Song Ziwen, Luo Yiqun and the new Minister of Industry Chen Jiageng every day, and wanted to lend money to the national government axe to buy machinery and equipment in Anglo-American France.

On the way to the British Consulate, Sun Ke pestered Luo Yaoguo again to talk about the Outer Mongolia issue, and the young master Sun participated in the "impeachment case" last year because of this incident, which almost broke down the relationship between the two parties, and now he can't help but make mistakes.

"Fuwen, when we arrive in Yanjing, we must ask Feng Yuxiang clearly, and ask him to give us a satisfactory answer, otherwise we will not support him as chairman." Sun Ke's voice was a little excited.

"No, Brother Zhesheng, you don't want to go to Yanjing, I want you to go back to Guangzhou early. And let's not embarrass Feng Huanzhang because of this matter, he is now riding a tiger and sitting on the stove. I reckon that there will be a war in the days after the United Axe is formed. Luo Yaoguo also informed Sun Ke about Deng Yanda and Hu Yiqun, and told him to keep it a secret and not to say anything to anyone except Mr. Zhongshan.

"Then Feng Yuxiang is strange and pitiful, he was originally a good army patrol envoy and commander of the 11th Division, but now he wants to betray his relatives and leave." After listening to what happened to Feng Yuxiang, Sun Ke really sympathized with Feng Yuxiang, he had tasted this taste more than two years ago, thinking of this, Sun Ke suddenly remembered a person. "By the way, Chen Jiongming seems to be in Tianjin now, and he seems to be preparing to organize a Zhi Gong Party to fight us."

"It's kind of interesting." Luo Yaoguo shook his head lightly and did not make much comments, Chen Jiongming's era has passed, and now the Guangdong Army no longer exists, but has become part of the National Revolutionary Army, which is firmly controlled by the Kuomintang and Sun Yat-sen, and the current training and administration of Guangdong Province is also going relatively smoothly, the people of Guangdong have been stable for two years, and the economic development and people's lives have been greatly improved, who will follow Chen Jiongming to rebel? Of course, he still has some value in the eyes of the northern heroes.

The meeting with the British Minister was held at the British Consulate in Tianjin. It turned out that the British wanted to dispose of a batch of large-caliber artillery produced during the First World War to the National Political Axe, according to the British, in order to help the National Political Axe build coastal defense, which was the British Empire's support for the National Political Axe.

"12-inch and 14-inch cannons 15 each! Dear General! What a great opportunity is this? These cannons are almost all new, and they haven't been shot a few times, so if you don't buy them now, you'll miss the opportunity! "Ma Ke has never been so polite to a Chinese, hehe, who made him a salesman now?

"It's very good to read the information, I am here to thank your country for your help on behalf of the national political axe, I will support these deals, but the specific matters still have to be negotiated with the Ministry of Armaments." Luo Yaoguo's tone was gentle, and he was not ecstatic.

Hehe, if you let the old man see these materials, he will be excited and crying, this is 30 large-caliber artillery pieces made before and after World War I, which should be the product of the arms race before the war, and they are all very good things. Although the price is not cheap, it is not unacceptable, and it is not necessary to pay immediately anyway, and this kind of transaction basically lasts for two or three years before it is finally completed. Moreover, the arms trade also has extraordinary political significance, which shows Britain's support for the national political axe. If these guns were mounted on shallow-water heavy gunboats and shore-based batteries, would I be willing to try it with the armor of their precious battleships?

The mock smiled and nodded. "Very well, now let's discuss the return of the British Empire Legation to Yanjing, before I have a small question for General Fuwen."

"If there is any problem, Mr. Minister, just ask, I know everything." Luo Yaoguo smiled and motioned for Ma Ke to ask.

The mock speaks slowly, as if he is constantly searching for the right words. "I would like to ask both, if, I mean if, if the central power of General Feng Yuxiang is overthrown by the powerful Chinese factions in the north in the near future, I wonder what action the Kuomintang side will take. Also, if, or if, after the overthrow of General Feng Yuxiang, the powerful factions in the north will convene a general meeting similar to a consultative meeting of the various factions to discuss the question of organizing a new political axe, will your Kuomintang participate? "It seems that Ma Ke has heard some top-secret news, and now he has come to probe the tone of the Kuomintang.

"And if such an incident occurs, what kind of reaction do you want our country to take?" Luo Yaoguo asked back and forth quietly.

"Yes, what do you want us to do?" Sun Ke was also mentally prepared, so he was not surprised.

The mock shook his head in embarrassment. "As you know, the British Empire's traditional sphere of influence in China does not include Yanjing, and we have a say in the Yangtze River valley, where we have given you maximum support. Therefore, we hope that the Kuomintang can make good use of this rare opportunity to build the south well. In addition, we do not want to see two central axes in China. ”

The British also seem to have been involved in the conspiracy to overthrow Feng Yuxiang's regime, and now they are suggesting that the Kuomintang should not mind the affairs of the north, and stay in the south and run your heavy industry! Moreover, Britain did not want the Kuomintang to set up a separate central government in the south, but wanted the Kuomintang to recognize this new coalition power in the north, or at least not to oppose it, not to recognize it, and not to establish a separate central government.
