Governor Isaacs didn't care about the Indian rebellion, because the Indians' combat effectiveness was so low that twenty British soldiers could chase after two hundred Indian rebels. But Isaacs was also frustrated by the endless attacks on Indian police, and the contradictions that had been planted in India for many years finally erupted when Isaacs sent soldiers to prepare for retaliation against China.

And at this time, the attention of the British government has not yet seen the East, because there are two major events happening around them, both of which are also of profound significance to Europe.

One thing was a civil war between Catholics and Christians in Northern Ireland, and the other was a joint military effort by France and Belgium to occupy the ruins of the Ruhr area of Germany, which dealt a fatal blow to Germany and forced a national revival movement in Germany.

From the Easter Uprising in Ireland in 1916 to the three-year Irish War of Independence from 1919 to 1921, the Irish Republican Army and the British Army fought several times, and at the same time, strong anti-British sentiment broke out in Ireland, and the Irish refused to serve the British. At the same time, the large number of Irish immigrants in the United States also gave great support for Irish independence, and the British army could not be too presumptuous in Ireland.

The British sent two police regiments composed of World War I veterans, totaling more than 7,000 people, but this warlike force in Ireland was too poor in military discipline to lead more Irish people to join the Irish Republican Army, and the British lost face. In 1921, the British and Irish Republics signed an armistice. Britain recognized the Republic of Ireland, but in retaliation against the Irish. Southern Ireland and Northern Ireland were divided with the support of Great Britain, with Northern Ireland belonging to Great Britain and Southern Ireland belonging to the Irish people. But Northern Ireland was not quiet, and the Christians and Catholics in the region created two separate factions, and the civil war in Northern Ireland resumed. As a Catholic country, the Republic of Ireland naturally supported the Catholic factions of Northern Ireland, while Britain supported Protestantism, and the Civil War in Northern Ireland resumed.

As for the French and Belgian troops to occupy the German Ruhr area, it was because Germany could not afford to pay the Treaty of Versailles. France and Belgium were dissatisfied, so they sent troops to occupy the Ruhr area, Germany's most developed industrial base. According to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was not allowed to have an army, so Germany was like a little girl who could not resist, watching the Ruhr area be turned over by Belgium and France......

Why did the British pay attention to it, because at this time Britain seemed to have become the first officer and police officer in Europe, and they even prepared the army and the Royal Navy in the event of a German resistance. Britain immediately marched on Germany. But the Germans did not resist, and the German Wilhelm. The Cuno government announced that Germany would engage in a campaign of "non-violent non-cooperation", and at the same time, the German economy collapsed completely because of the occupation of the largest industrial area, and the Deutsche Mark became less valuable than paper.

The news also reached the ears of China. Wang Maoru always paid close attention to the situation in Europe, and when the Ruhr area of Germany was occupied, Wang Maoru quickly dispatched a Chinese delegation represented by Vice President Bi Guifang and Vice Minister of Industry and Commerce Jing Xueling, assisted by Lu Zhengxiang and Cao Rulin, to visit Europe. The main targets of visits were France, Belgium and Germany. The purpose of the trip to France and Belgium was to buy equipment from them in the Ruhr area, and the purpose of going to Germany was to recruit mature German skilled workers to work in China. At this time, the German workers could almost only feed their families, and they would go anywhere in the world without paying them.

Robbery while the fire is taking advantage of the fire, China is robbing while the fire is burning.

To take advantage of the fire against Germany? Of course, there is no permanent friendship in this world, only eternal interests, no matter how good the Germans are, they are not their own people, of course Wang Maoru is going to rob Germany. In fact, in this era, in this world, which country does not rob Germany? It's just that China has robbed the technology and technology of the Germans, and helped them solve the employment problem, so why not?

This is like the Spring Festival Gala of a certain year, after Zhao Da sold to Fan Wei on crutches, Fan Wei turned around and said "thank you", really when Wang Maoru decided to send a delegation to Europe to visit Germany and recruit German workers, German Ambassador to China Laurensen immediately ran to the presidential palace to express his gratitude to China on behalf of Germany......

However, while expressing his gratitude, Lawrenson also said that he had received high praise from the German government and was ready to be transferred back to Germany to take up the position of head of the industrial sector. Laurenson looked helpless, because after the occupation of the Ruhr area, the so-called German industrial sector became a cardboard shell, how can there be any industry?

Wang Maoru comforted: "I believe that Germany will definitely be reborn in the fire." ”

Lawrenson was taken aback and said: "Germany can't stand the fire, Germany is now only left with dilapidated houses, and if it encounters another fire, Germany will be finished......"

Wang Maoru laughed and hurriedly explained the allusion of the phoenix's rebirth from the ashes, and Lawrenson breathed a sigh of relief. However, Wang Maoru actually wanted to ask about Laurenson's daughter Heffinie, but people didn't come to talk about private matters, so they had to give up. It seems that Helenie will not be able to return in Germany, and she does not know how her gay fiancé is getting along with her. Of course, Wang Maoru is just thinking about it, since losing Zhiya, Wang Maoru pays special attention to and cherishes the people around him.

After seeing off Ambassador Laurençon, Secretary-General Zhang Kuian reminded Wang Maoru that it was almost the 15th day of the first lunar month, and the upcoming meeting of the 36th family was about to be held.

This meeting of the 36th family was held for the first time, and it was also the beginning of the oligarchs' control of China, but because the Huang family in Java was jealous of the rat and the Dutch, and wanted to win over both sides, the people led by Wang Maoru were angry with it, so in the past year, the Javanese Huang family was replaced by the Shanxi Confucian family in China, and the head of the Shanxi Confucian family was Kong Xiangxi, and Kong Xiangxi supported the Kuomintang at the earliest, which also led to the fact that the Confucian family was not accepted at first. However, with the collusion between the Javanese Huang family and the inside, Wang Maoru was strongly dissatisfied and was removed from the list.

On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the heads of the 36 families held a meeting in the imperial palace in Beijing without any subordinates. The abolished emperor Puyi and the guards in the palace got a venue rental fee of 100,000 silver dollars, which was rented for three days. However, Zhang Zuolin then asked to drive Pu Yi out of the palace, so scared that the princes didn't dare to say anything, and this Zhang Zuolin also rushed back to Beijing because of the meeting of the thirty-sixth family, and his fierce military demeanor was very scared of the nobles of the previous dynasty.

Of course, everyone still cares about that throne very much, except for Wang Maoru, many of the rest of the people can't help but have the urge to kneel down and kowtow. Wang Maoru didn't care, after all, the imperial system has been thousands of years, how can people adapt to the days without an emperor overnight. Of course, everyone still did not arrogantly hold meetings in places such as the Taihe Palace, the Baohe Palace, and the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, but in the Yinghua Palace. Even so, it also made these people who were originally just citizens feel the royal atmosphere.

These 36 people are Wang Maoru of Hulunbuir in Heilongjiang, Zhang Zuolin in Liaoning, Qiao Yingnian in Shanxi, Cao Kun in Zhili, Feng Jiayu in Zhili, Pu Ji in Zhili, Zhao Jiacheng in Tianjin, Qiu Kaitang in Jilin, Yuan Keding in Henan, Ma Xiangfu in Ningxia, Zhang Jian in Jiangsu, Rongguo Nian in Songhu, Huang Jinrong in Songhu, Rehe Gai Tianjiu, Kong Xiangxi in Shanxi, Kong Fanhao in Shandong, Meng Qingtang in Shandong, Li Jingfang in Anhui, Duan Qirui in Anhui, Tang Shaoyi in Guangdong, Huang Wentian in Guangdong, Wu Shaozeng in Guangdong, Lin Chengzu in Nanyang, Liu Xiang in Sichuan, Liu Wencai in Sichuan, Zeng Guangjun in Hunan, Guangxi Lu Yuguang, Jiangxi Chen Zukang, Jiangxi Xiong Naiwen, Sichuan Xie Jingtang, Guizhou Wang Jialie, Yunnan Long Yingtian, Zhejiang Fang Zilin, Zhejiang Ye Weiyong, Fujian Lin Chengzhi, Hubei Huang Gui.

Wang Maoru ordered Puji to arrange the Yinghua Hall on a round table, with two layers inside and outside, 12 tables and chairs on the inner layer and 24 tables and chairs on the outer layer. A stove was placed around for heating, and only incandescent lamps were used to illuminate the surroundings, and the guards were replaced by Wang Maoru's Junior Guards, and the measures were extremely in place.

When everyone arrived here and looked at the magnificent Yinghua Palace, they didn't dare to speak.

Wang Maoru motioned for Pu Ji to speak, and Pu Ji stood up and said with a smile: "Everyone, you are all giants in China or famous families in various places, especially the two Confucian and Mencian families in Shandong, which have been inherited for thousands of years. Ladies and gentlemen, our 36 families control 60 percent of the wealth of the Chinese nation, so our 36 families can form an alliance, and no matter who controls the government in the future, we must echo the interests of our 36 alliance. Ladies and gentlemen, this move is more obvious to everyone than it means, yes, it is to allow our family to be passed on from generation to generation, so that we can always have the right to speak, and cultivate the family gate valve in China - just like the Confucian family and the Meng family. ”

Wang Maoru said at this time: "I personally admire one person, that is, Zeng Wenzhenggong, the sage of the Zeng family, his family motto is really a moral model of being a man, doing things and engaging in politics." ”

Zeng Guangjun, the head of the Zeng family in Hunan, was the only one left among Zeng Guofan's three sons, and when he heard Wang Maoru praise his father, he immediately said gratefully: "The president has praised him." ”

Wang Maoru shook his head and said: "Today is the first meeting of the 36th family, not a government meeting, so I am not the president, I am just Wang Maoru, the head of the Wang family, the word Xiusheng, you can call me Mr. Xiusheng." He smiled and said, "Today I mention that the thirty-six families have formed an alliance to form the cornerstone of our Chinese family. I know that you have also considered and hesitated, but coming here today shows that you agree with this alliance of thirty-six families. Ladies and gentlemen, if you agree to form this alliance, please raise your hand. With that, he was the first to raise his hand and look at the crowd.

Thirty and twenty years old is a watershed, I think I can toss my body as much as I want when I go to college, but now I feel a little uncomfortable and immediately toss. I advise all book lovers to cherish their bodies, take good care of them, and never follow Simon's example. ）
