Yama Prefecture Yutomo is about 10 years away from the historical lifespan, and Katsura Taro is also living longer than in history. Similarly, as the chief disciple of Yama Prefecture Aritomo, Katsura Taro has a very close relationship with Yama Prefecture Aritomo.

Although in order to maintain his influence, it is impossible for Yama Prefecture Youtomo to stand behind Katsura Taro and support him openly. But even some behind-the-scenes support is enough to help Katsura Taro reduce some of the pressure.

Because of this, although there is a lot of 'revenge' in Japan, Katsura Taro still looks like a step-by-step look.

However, as soon as he did this, Yan Shao was a little disappointed...

"I thought that the Army people came to power, and those guys would be more radical..."

Taking a bite on the apple, Yan Shao said to Li Liang with some disappointment.

"After all, it is impossible for everything to be as expected..."Seeing Yan Shao's disappointed appearance, Li Liang smiled and persuaded him. Anyway, we achieved our goal, didn't we? ”

"There's no way, who told things to go too smoothly, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, so I had to change my strategy..."Yan Shao shook his head as he said it.

In fact, seeing that the Japanese were so calm, Li Liang was quite disappointed. However, he didn't show himself like Yan Shao, after all, Li Liang himself is also a relatively calm person, and his identity and status have been very different before, so naturally he can't show all his feelings.

This is also something that can't be helped, Yan Shao is the president, and this is recognized by everyone. Not only because he is the founder of the national government, but also because of his ascension. Yan Shao's series of exploits have won him huge popularity, and even many people in the government and the army regard Yan Shao as an idol. Especially after the Battle of Shandong, Yan Shao's position can almost be said to be unbreakable, unless Yan Shao learned from Tang Xuanzong, and suddenly made a stupid move after making a series of exploits, otherwise there will basically be no problems.

But Li Liang is different, he can become the current prime minister not because his ability is stronger than others. Although he has also made great progress over the years. But compared with old foxes such as Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang, Li Liang still seems a little immature, and he is not as good as Yan Shao, who has always stood in the dazzle, in terms of influence and prestige.

The reason why he can sit in the position of prime minister. It's just because he is an old man who has followed Yan Shao since he was in the United States. In terms of seniority, he can be said to be unmatched in the Guoshe government, and he is also the leader of the returnee faction―――――― although this faction, which once occupied most of the positions in the upper echelons of the Anhui military government, was established after the establishment of the Guoshe government. The scale has become a lot smaller.

But that's exactly what it is. Therefore, there are many people who disagree with Li Liang.

It turns out that the arrival of the Anhui period is good to say, after all, we have been together for many years, and we are very familiar with each other, and we also have affection in it. But the original Beiyang government had some other forces, and it didn't speak so well.

For example, Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang are a little eyeing the position of prime minister.

In their opinion, although Beiyang has been defeated, it is after all the largest force in China. As a representative of this remnant force, the title of only one deputy prime minister is somewhat...

In addition to them. Li Yuanhong, who had already settled down a lot, was also a little nervous, especially after the rule of the Nationalist government in China had been stabilized.

Although Li Yuanhong was only in charge of a small general of the association. If it weren't for the Wuchang Uprising, there would be no comparison with Yuan Shikai and these heroes. But it was precisely because of the Wuchang Uprising that Li Yuanhong's pheasant turned into a phoenix, and he was able to mix the position of vice president in the government established later.

However, he did not last long as vice president, and after the establishment of the national government, his position was bombarded. was driven back to Hubei and became his governor of Hubei. But in any case, he is a figure who once served as vice president.

He is not interested in the vice president, because generally speaking, the deputy office usually has no real power―――――― but if Yan Shao is assassinated and killed, he has a chance to be the president, just like the vice president who inherited his position after Kennedy was killed in history, and his face was as happy as the vice president of a flower...

Just thinking about it, you know that this can only be considered delusional. After all, he knows how tightly the security situation around Yan Shao is, not to mention that the largest spy agency in China, the 'Special Affairs Bureau', is in the hands of his wife, protecting his man, anyone can think of how serious Caterina will be.

So instead of expecting Yan Shao to die suddenly, and then he, the vice president, will be mixed up.

It's better to think about the position of the prime minister, Wuchang is the place of the first righteousness, and now it has not been long since the Xinhai Revolution, as the first hero of the year, Li Yuanhong still has great prestige.

On the other hand, Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang, who used to mix in Beiyang, also have their own supporters.

On the contrary, Li Liang, because he has always been under the light of Yan Shao, is not very conspicuous, which also makes many people support the removal of Li Liang, and suffer from more famous people such as Li Yuanhong or Duan Qirui...

This is also the reason why Li Lianghui is very cautious...

――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing Li Liang like this, Yan Shao suddenly laughed.

"What do you mean by this..."Saying that, Yan Shao gestured to his subordinates, and soon someone removed the things on the table, and Yan Shao looked at Li Liangdao. Don't worry, I also know the situation outside, I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but this prime minister's position, I dare to play a package ticket, this time, no one will be able to replace you, even if it is the next term, as long as my position is okay, you will not have a problem, but the next term..."

When he said this, Yan Shao scratched his head.

"I'll always give the others some chances, but don't worry, I'll arrange it when the time comes..."

In any case, after all, Li Liang has been with his old man since he was in the United States, although in terms of ability. Compared with Duan Qirui's old fritters, it seems to be a little worse. But no matter what, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, so Yan Shao just drove Li Liang down from his current position. He really didn't have that idea.

So even though some people have begun to ponder the idea of changing the prime minister next time, Yan Shao's mind has never changed.

He didn't dare to guarantee more, but since Li Liang had followed him for so many years, the two prime ministers should always be.

Hearing Yan Shao's assurance, Li Liang's heart was also warm.

After following Yan Shao for so many years, he naturally knows Yan Shao's character very well. How to leave aside in private life for the time being, but in business and other matters. Yan Shao would rather not make any promises, as long as he makes a promise, he will definitely fulfill it.

Now that Yan Shao has said it. will definitely help him, and he will naturally rest assured.

However, after being reassured, he also began to ponder what Yan Shao had just said...

"After two sessions, the newcomer..." Li Liang's heart showed a strange feeling. That is to say. President, does he intend to sit in this position for three consecutive terms, or even more..."

After all, if Yan Shao only planned to serve two terms, there was no need to say what he just said.

But even if it was three sessions, Li Liang didn't think there was anything strange. Because this era is different from later generations, according to the regulations in later generations, the president of a country or anything else can usually only serve two consecutive terms, and absolutely cannot be re-elected for a third term. If you want to do it again. can only learn from the later generations of Russian Putin, and let the third session be done by his assistants. I didn't come up until the fourth session...

But in this era, in fact, the president or the prime minister can be re-elected indefinitely, that is, unless you are ousted, it doesn't matter how many times you want to be re-elected―――――― and then the United States, which enacted a bill to limit the number of re-elections to two, seems to have enacted such a bill more than 10 years later.

It is precisely because of this that even if Yan Shao really chooses to be re-elected many times, I am afraid that no one in China will say anything. Because there has never been a restrictive measure in history, and as long as Yan Shao is really re-elected with his ability and support, others don't seem to be able to say anything...

――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing that Li Liang's mood seemed to be much better, Yan Shao also laughed.

After all, he is an old brother, so he naturally wants to take care of it.

"Still, I'm a little disappointed..."

At first, Yan Shao's plan was to win in Shandong, get back the one that originally belonged to him, and if he could win a big victory, then find a way to get more benefits from the Japanese.

But to be honest, he didn't expect to win so quickly and so well this time...

In the Battle of Shandong, the Japanese Navy suffered heavy losses first, and then the Army was also cleaned up.

The Wehrmacht fought too smoothly in Shandong, directly exposing itself and arousing the vigilance of the great powers, which Yan Shao did not expect at all.

It is precisely because of this that while the Great Powers are wary of China, it is likely that they will choose to support Japan against China in order to maintain the already fragile balance in the Far East. And this was very unfavorable to Yan Shao, so in the later stage of the war, Yan Shao's thinking also changed.

Originally, his idea was to solve Shandong's problems as soon as possible, and then take advantage of the European war to develop his strength. Now, he prefers to give the Japanese a hard blow, so that they will remember it for the rest of their lives, and even with the support of the great powers, there will be no chance of recovery. In this way, Yan Shao naturally no longer has to worry that they will support Japan to contain him.

It's just a pity that now it seems that hope is dashed...

――――――――――――――――――――

"By the way, what's going on in Longkou Bay?"

After being silent for a moment, Yan Shao looked at Li Liang and asked.

Although Li Liang is the prime minister, it seems that this kind of thing may not be something he can manage, nor does he necessarily need to take care of it, but the two always have to find some topics.

Fortunately, Li Liang was also very concerned about the matter of Longkou Bay, so after thinking for a while, he replied.

"The salvage work is going very smoothly, and it is said that the 'King Kong' has been salvaged from the bottom of the bay..."

"Has the King Kong come up too?" Hearing this news, Yan Shao seemed a little happy, after all, no matter how good it was, he knew the strength of the King Kong. With such a ship, the growth of the strength of the Navy will be extremely fast ...

"Sa Lao must be the happiest about this matter..."Thinking of Sa Zhenbing, who had been thinking about the revival of the navy all his life, Yan Shao said to Li Liang with a smile on his face.

"Yes..."Li Liang also nodded. I heard that Sa Lao had already taken a boat to Longkou Bay. It seems that he intends to see for himself how the salvage is going there..."

Hearing the news, Yan Shao couldn't help but laugh. "I'm so old, and I'm still like this..."

"No way. After all, Sa Lao has been thinking about the revival of the navy all his life, and now that the revival of the navy is imminent, it is normal for his old man to be like this..."As he spoke, Li Liang looked at Yan Shao again. "Then again, about the Japanese side............... Now they are still fighting with us for the ownership of the sunken ships and captured ships in Longkou Bay, and although the ministers did not come with him, the meaning behind them is to support Japan..."

There were so many Japanese warships sunk in Longkou Bay, basically they only had to be salvaged and repaired. There is still a possibility that it can be used. Now that the Japanese Navy has suffered such heavy losses, it is natural that they will want to get these ships back.

So after the matter started, the Japanese came to the door. Ownership of these vessels was declared. Although Yan Shao had already made it very clear that since these ships were captured, they were equivalent to Chinese, the Japanese had great objections to this. Completely do not accept China's claims. Even during the Russo-Japanese War and the Sino-Japanese War, they did this kind of thing less.

No way, who told them that their losses in the Shandong Campaign were too great, if they only built themselves, I don't know how many years it would take to restore the original grandeur, so no matter what it was for, they had to get those ships back, and the result was that these people had some meaning to rely on here...

Needless to say, they had a lot of war of words during this time anyway.

to the end. Perhaps sensing that the great powers wanted to use them against the national government, Rizhiyi actually found the ministers of various countries. However, this matter is after all Japan's fault. And at the moment, there is also a need for China, although restrictions are already under consideration, but after all, each other has not officially torn their faces, and they are embarrassed to jump out now, so almost no country has come forward to support Japan, having said that, behind the scenes, they still show a faint support, and hint that China, maybe they can return some of Japan's ships a little, after all, one of them is a country of the Entente, and the other is a quasi-Entente country...

However, Yan Shao's meaning is also very clear, that is, since the ships are in hand, then these ships are Chinese. The Japanese want to get these ships back? Yes, he remembered that after the European soldiers were captured, they could be ransomed, so the Japanese could do the same, as long as they paid so much money, Yan Shao could allow them to redeem the ship...

Of course, this value must be free, and it must be taken into account that it is now a war period, how much is the value of a warship comparable to a dreadnought―――――― not to mention, anyway, the value of a dreadnought during the war must be very large, and Yan Shao has also made it two or three times the original cost price...

Although it seems ......... to do so But if you can really get that much money, even if you really send it back to Japan, it seems that it will be earned.

After all, those are sunken ships, and even if they are salvaged, it will take a while to repair, and even if they are salvaged, the combat ability will definitely be worse than the original...

――――――――――――――――――――

"In this way..."After listening to Yan Shao's words, Li Liang also understood what he meant.

But then again, even if he didn't understand, he would never dare to say anything about selling the ship to Japan. That's right, if the ship can really be sold to Japan at Yan Shaokai's price, the Guoshe government will definitely make a lot of money, but don't forget, there are still many ship maniacs in the navy.

For naval officers who are looking forward to the revival of the navy, it is necessary to have enough ships to revive the navy. And those shipwrecks in Longkou Bay are where their hope lies.

Now that a war has broken out in Europe, it is basically impossible to buy what you want. As for the kind of dreadnoughts and battle cruisers of 20,000 tons or even 30,000 tons, basically don't even think about it, according to Yan Shao's original plan, it is already very good to be able to build it within five years.

This also means that if Yan Shao sells the ship, then at least for five years, the navy will not be able to have such a large ship into service...

――――――――――――――――――――

Speaking of which, one can basically imagine the anger of the Navy. If Li Liang and people from the government department really dare to say such things, then they have to think about whether they will be shot by the navy next...

"By the way, there's a meeting ahead, so don't forget, President..."

"Don't worry." Hearing Li Liang's words, Yan Shao began to laugh. Even if I forget jì other things, I can't forget jì ah, don't worry, I'll go on time..."

"That's good..."Hearing Yan Shao say this, Li Liang nodded, and then stood up from his seat.

"I'll be waiting for you in the conference room for the next meeting..."

Meeting, the next meeting is naturally very important, no way, who called it is 1915 now, since it is already 1915, then everyone should summarize some of the things of last year. For example, finance, etc., for example, in some other matters, such a meeting is undoubtedly very important, and Yan Shao, who is the president, is obviously impossible to miss such a meeting.

But having said that, in fact, Yan Shao also wants to know how much fiscal revenue increased last year, as well as the progress of the industry, so he is still looking forward to this meeting... (To be continued......)
