Beginning on 8 March, Foreign Minister Chen Yi repeatedly lodged protests with the Japanese ambassador to China and demanded that the Japanese government grant China permission to go to Japan for rescue, but the Japanese government dragged its feet and still did not reply on whether to allow Chinese ships to enter Japan's territorial waters.

This incident made Wang Maoru angry, and he called a meeting of officials from the Ministry of National Defense and said: "The Japanese government's most important thing is an insult to our Republic of China and an insult to the Chinese people. They see that China's national strength is rising after reunification, and they can't wait to smash China's face again and make the Chinese lose face in the international community! Damn little Japan, damn devils! Now, I order the squadron to enter the second-level combat readiness, and Commander Sa will immediately form twenty reserve infantry divisions in Heilongjiang. ”

"Yes." National Defense Minister Sa Zhen Bing said, Jiang Fangzhen wanted to speak on the side, but finally did not speak, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

"If the Japanese stop it, we will fight." Wang Maoru concluded, "If we can't win a war, we have to fight, and if we can't win a war at sea, we will burn the battlefield to Korea and Dalian Lushun, and fight in the Japanese-occupied areas." ”

"National War?" Someone exclaimed.

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "This is the worst plan, your Ministry of Defense will make a war deduction and report to me later." ”

"Yes." Sazhen Ice Road.

None of the officers and marshals of the Ministry of National Defense spoke against or proposed to build a proposal, Wang Maoru himself also felt it, in fact, he was also a kind of pressure here, Generalissimo Shangwu, the president of China, his right to speak. It has even completely surpassed the emperor.

It can be said that Wang Maoru is a dictator, and he smiled bitterly. Waving his hand, he said, "The meeting is adjourned." The officers immediately stood up, saluted, and withdrew.

After the military meeting of the Ministry of National Defense, Wang Maoru was a little tired, and a large part of his tiredness came from this meeting -- at this meeting, he said everything he could, but he did not have the feeling of calling friends and friends as a former brother and a younger brother when he was a warlord.

He is a great president, a great president above 10,000 people, and they are subordinates.

No longer brothers.

Wang Maoru was slightly disappointed. sighed, suddenly thought of Jiang Fangzhen's eyes at the meeting, and asked Zhang Kuian to call Jiang Fangzhen to come. Ask him if he has anything to say.

After a while, Jiang Fangzhen, who was wearing a black general uniform of the National Defense Army and a five-color four-star marshal on his shoulders, came to the conference hall of the Ministry of National Defense and met Wang Maoru. First, a military salute was given. Wang Maoru pointed to the stool beside him, but did not speak, and Jiang Fangzhen sat down.

Wang Maoru asked, "What does Brother Baili want to say?" ”

Jiang Fangzhen glanced up at Wang Maoru's face, he was not shocked, but he didn't have the feeling of life and death that he had in the army in the past, and sighed in his heart, time changes people, time can make people change unexpectedly. Right now. He felt that there was a gully between him and Wang Maoru, which seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Wang Maoru also became more and more polite to him, but it made him feel less and less close.

If possible, he would like to go back to ten years ago, when the brothers started a business together, became warlords, commanded the army during the day, and slept in the barracks at night. He still likes the warlord Wang Maoru who opened his mouth to "your uncle", but now, Wang Maoru is more and more glorious and stubborn.

Declaring war on Japan, how can war be declared on Japan at this time, but when Wang Maoru said it to the officers of the Ministry of National Defense, not a single officer objected, and even he, the vice minister of national defense and the marshal of the National Defense Army, did not dare to openly refute Wang Maoru's unrealistic fantasies. Now we can't fight Japan, we can't fight, now we have just developed, if we do, it will be in Japan's hands.

"Brother Baili?" Wang Maoru screamed.

"Huh?" Jiang Fang shook his face and smiled awkwardly, "What? ”

"What do you have to say to me?" Wang Maoru asked.

Jiang Fangzhen hesitated for a while, but finally said: "The reorganization of the national defense force has been completed in all form, and now the national defense force is composed of five parts, with a total of 1.38 million troops of the national defense army, navy, and air force, 200,000 armed police corps, 4 million reserve troops, 1.2 million student reserve soldiers, and 40,000 border army posts. All the weapons required are self-produced, the ammunition reserves have been completely domestically produced, and our army's storage of ammunition and artillery shells is enough to carry out ten battles in the heart of Central Asia. ”

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Very good, very good, just do it." He smiled again: "You have something else to say, Brother Baili, the two of us have known each other for thirteen years, don't hide it from me, just say it directly if you have anything to say." ”

Jiang Fangzhen laughed, adjusted his feelings, and then said, "Xiusheng, if I speak today, I guess you won't be happy." ”

Wang Maoru said: "I haven't been happy recently, let me tell you about the recent past." He stretched out his finger and said, "You only see Japanese anti-Chinese, right?" There are also major domestic events, Guangdong has been raining for ten consecutive days, and flash floods have caused at least 1,000 deaths. When there was a civil uprising in Western Mongolia, the Tangnu-Ulianghai people were clamoured by some people to seek self-knowledge. Guess who's behind the noise? ”

"Who?" Jiang Fangzhen asked.

Wang Maoru said: "It's fucking French, it's actually the French who are doing bad things to us behind our backs." The reason why the French are bad is because the British told them that Vietnam has always been a subject country in the Chinese cultural circle, and if the Chinese are strong, we will definitely recover Vietnam. The French had already coveted our Yunnan, and he wanted us to look to the north and ignore the south. In addition, the British had a conflict with our people in Tibet. The Japanese are in conflict with us in the east. The Kazakhs and Vultures in the Western Regions, under the influence of Soviet Russia, also rioted from time to time in a vain attempt for independence. Now we are enemies on all sides, so guess what about the Central Plains? ”

Jiang Fangzhen, as an officer of the military department, how did he know that the country still had so many troubles, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "What? ”

Wang Maoru said with a wry smile: "In the Central Plains and western Henan, there is actually a religion called Midaism, which advocates that doctrine is greater than national law, and requires believers to believe in Buddhism first - their Buddha is called Mida Tianzun, advocating that the world should be equal and children should be divided into fields. You know what that means, right? That is to say, as soon as a person is born, he must be given a piece of land, which is the will of the Mida Heavenly Venerable. Many poor people in western Henan immediately believed in this Midaism. His uncle, I have already sent someone to check on western Henan, and I believe there will be results. The slogan of this religion appeals to the poor and landless, and it is said that the organizer turned out to be a lawyer, and this lawyer also understands Chinese national law, and he is familiar with the "Great Qing Law", "Provisional Constitution Law of the Republic of China", "Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women and Children", "Inheritance Law" and so on. The damned lawyer actually put forward the slogan that the doctrine is greater than the law of the country, which is really a thousand cuts. Alas, one thing at a time, one thing at a time, where can there be good news? I'm not deaf or blind, I was an ancient bastard emperor and a carpenter in the palace. ”

Jiang Fangzhen said: "It turns out that ...... There are so many important things. ”

Wang Maoru said with a smile: "There is no trivial matter in the country - you can say it, I don't like to listen to it, I have to listen, as a president, I have not encountered anything that makes me comfortable." ”

Jiang Fangzhen hesitated for a long time, and then said that his marshal's shoulder row was taken off and placed on the table, Wang Maoru was surprised and asked, "Brother Baili, why are you doing this?" And he stretched out his hand to stop him.

Jiang Fangzhen stopped him, still insisted on putting it on the table, and said: "This time I said what was in my heart, I will let you deal with it, my words are ugly, but I don't vomit unpleasantly." ”

Seeing that he was solemn, Wang Maoru didn't stop him, nodded, and said to all the guards and secretaries: "Go out, within twenty meters, no one will be there." ”

"Yes." The people around them hurriedly left.

Wang Maoru smiled: "Say it, Brother Baili." ”

Jiang Fangzhen then said: "Xiusheng, don't you think that the current power of you is almost greater than that of the emperors of all dynasties?" It is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty who has the ultimate imperial power, and the ancestral patriarchal law restricts, but now your rights ...... No one can restrain it. ”

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "I understand what you mean, I am a dictator. ”

Jiang Fangzhen's heart was like being thrown a bomb, which made his whole body shake instantly, it turned out that Wang Maoru understood everything, so that is to say- he is happy to be this dictator?

Wang Maoru's face sank and said: "But now China needs a dictator, not that I chose to be a dictator, but that history chose me, and the country chose me." ”

"I don't believe it." Jiang Fangzhen almost said the word ridiculous, but he was always gentle and elegant, he just said that I don't believe it, even if it is a no, it can be regarded as a step for Wang Maoru.

Wang Maoru didn't follow this step, and his words had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, or he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. He immediately said: "Now China needs a dictator, and I am the only candidate for this dictator." You're worried that I'm following Yuan Shikai's example, aren't you? Yuan Shikai still had all kinds of restraints at that time, but I didn't have any restraints anymore, so you were worried. But don't worry, I didn't grow up in a country where imperial power is supreme. Therefore, I became a dictator for the unity of the country, not for the sake of emulating the supremacy of imperial power and becoming my own emperor and leaving the country to my own children and grandchildren. Moreover, my children are still young, and they will not have the opportunity to receive a powerful education, and I hope that my children will become people who will work in the art industry in the future and contribute to the culture of the country. He took out a cigarette and signaled to Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang Fangzhen hesitated for a while, but still took it, Wang Maoru lit it for him and lit a cigarette for himself, and said: "This kind of worry is unnecessary, we have argued countless times before, haven't we?" I'm getting bored. He leaned back on the couch a little dejectedly, without the brilliance of a great president, like a lone wolf without a partner. (To be continued......)
