The conversation ended after Wang Zhenkun and Wang Zhenbang came in, and the family banquet began after everyone arrived.

Everyone toasted and blessed each other, and the lively family banquet was full of family warmth. Halfway through the meal, Wang Zhenyu's mother, Wang Chen, suddenly came to a clueless sentence: "I don't know how the fourth child and his daughter-in-law are doing in Europe?" ”

Wang Longxian's face collapsed after hearing this: "I just said that you should eat more and talk less, but you are still talking nonsense here, what a fourth, I don't have this rebel." ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward.

For Wang Zhenyu, Wang Longxian, as a father, feels very conflicted. On the one hand, his son has come out of the way, he has given himself a long face, and he has also glorified his ancestors for the Wang family. But on the other hand, with such a powerful son, Wang Longxian's paternal power immediately turned into air. In terms of marriage alone, in addition to the marriage of the eldest and second children, starting from Wang Zhenyu, his children can be employed and married.

Wang Zhenpeng's marriage even saved the basic procedures, just because of the support of the third child, he dared to take someone to Europe to travel and get married after losing his temper. The more Wang Longxian thought about it, the more angry he became, and these cups of yellow soup naturally took the opportunity to vent out.

How could Wang Zhenyu not know his father's thoughts, he had nothing to say, so he could only speak: "Big brother, you start, our brothers will toast our father, and wish my father a blessed star and a prosperous life." ”

finally found some dignity as a father, and Wang Longxian, who had face, naturally turned his anger into joy, and a turmoil was turned into an invisible ......

The 1917 New Year was the first New Year after the establishment of the Nationalist Government, and Wang Longzhong, acting chairman of the Nationalist Government, issued an order to celebrate the celebration with grand fireworks displays in Nanjing and Wuhan. While Wang Zhenyu took his family to the Yangtze River to watch the fireworks show, he spent an incomparably luxurious New Year, and the specialties from all over the country filled Wenlu. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, many military and political bigwigs in Nanjing and Wuhan came to the door one after another to pay New Year's greetings, and the experts in the military and political circles in the north and the business circles in various places also sent telegrams to pay New Year's greetings.

After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the officers and men of the expedition began to return one after another, and all the troops were required to assemble militarily in Shanghai and Guangzhou. Although they were full of doubts about the actual combat effectiveness of the Chinese, after receiving the report of the French military training regiment, the British and French governments still showed great enthusiasm and hope for this expeditionary force. With capacity tight, they did everything they could to collect ships from the colonies to transport the army. Fortunately, according to the Entente's Jihua, the weapons of this huge army would be deployed in France, otherwise the task of transporting 240,000 expeditionary troops from distant China to France in a month's time would not have been possible with the current shipping capacity of Britain and France in the Far East. In addition to the expeditionary force, Britain and France also needed a large amount of tung oil, pig sideburns and rare metals produced in China.

This European war really hollowed out the wealth that the British had spent centuries accumulating with great difficulty, and used it to not prepare enough for war before the outbreak of war, and as a result, after the outbreak of war, the British military operations became money burning. In order to win the war, the original Shijie number one creditor began to move towards Shijie's number one debtor country. France has died of young people, and Britain has spent all its money, which is the truest portrayal of the cruelty of the first Shijie War.

And judging from the results of Zuihou, the British, who won the battle against the Germans, were not able to get rid of the fate of losing their hegemonic position in the end, and even accelerated the process because of the war. After the war, the independence movement in the colonies intensified, and the face of the paper tiger of the British became clearer and clearer.

If the Xinhai Revolution changed the course of Chinese history, then the First Shijie War changed the course of the entire Shijie history.

The dominance of the Manchu Eight Banners collapsed overnight after the Xinhai Revolution, and relying on the superiority of the ** system, the British also had to start to decline after the First Shijie War.

Far-sighted British politicians had seen this, and so they advocated giving China £300 million in exchange for Chinese troops to fight the Germans. Such a move had two advantages, the first was to avoid more blood shed by the British lads in France, and the second was to further accelerate the rise of the Nationalist government in southern China through this loan. Britain had reached the limit of its expansion in Asia, and they suddenly found themselves in Japan, the ally they had once fostered to deal with Russia's savage, greedy polar bear, which seemed increasingly uncontrollable and emboldened, and began to erode the Empire's interests in Asia, especially in China.

Now it only costs £300 million to stop the expansion of these hateful Oriental dwarfs in China, which is a bargain for the British. British politicians even secretly boasted of this, thinking that those yellow-skinned pigs in the East were too easy to deceive.

The British minister to China, Jurdian, who had been advocating a weakening of China, was reprimanded by Whitehall for this, but he insisted that a strong China would be more difficult to control than Japan, which was now eager to try, and that it was more likely to threaten the British Empire's interests in Asia. In contrast, although the Japanese dwarfs are arrogant and hateful, there are still many ways to control and suppress them.

This report was intercepted by the Telecommunications Bureau of the Military Commission led by Wang Huaishi, and translated it word by word and placed on Wang Zhenyu's desk. Wang Zhenyu looked at it hastily, but he was not angry, he even felt that Zhu Erdian was a very respectable opponent.

As the division of the North and the South continued, the probability of war between the North and the South became lower and lower, and the Youth Army also began to reduce the number of personnel on a large scale. And young people are always restless, so more and more officers are applying to join the European Expeditionary Force. Wang Zhenyu was very satisfied with this phenomenon, at least it showed that in a peaceful environment, his army still maintained enough vigor and enterprising spirit. So the idea of conducting rotational warfare against young officers and soldiers on the basis of the expeditionary force came out......

After the New Year, Hu Hanmin took the lead, and the backbone of the League put forward a request for the election of the second official chairman of the Nationalist Government. At the same time, the motions for the reorganization of the National Congress, the Nanjing National Government, and the Wuhan National Military Committee were also put on the table for discussion and voting.

In exchange, the list was finally approved, and Zhang Taiyan became the president of the newly formed Supervisory Yuan and the chairman of the civil affairs committee of the two courts. The Nationalist Government has finally become legally regular......
