As the political conflict over the Paris Peace Conference escalated, many French bosses suddenly found that the Chinese laborers, who had worked hard for more than two years, were suddenly not quite right.

In Marseille, Yu Ba and Xiong Er, two guys who had already put on the coat of foremen of the Chinese Workers' Union, under the instructions of the National Security Bureau, summoned 120,000 Chinese workers working in Marseille: "Brothers, our army and laborers left their homeland to fight and work for the French in Europe, and supported them to win the victory against the Germans. ”

Although most of the laborers, who were made up of landless peasants from Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi, did not know where Shandong was, they still responded: "No, never, I have had enough of them by working with the French." ”

Xiong Er responded in the audience: "We're going to strike, don't give them the French to do it, let's strike!" ”

"Yes, strike, strike......"

Not far away, many French administrators were surprised to see these usually docile Chinese laborers suddenly become violent, and chose to protect themselves in addition to being enlightened.

The same scene played out in France and Britain, where 1.3 million of the 1.5 million European laborers participated in the strike, and the Chinese and overseas Chinese who were originally in Europe also went on strike, and for a time France was in chaos.

The diplomatic delegation also came under unprecedented pressure, and more than 30,000 students gathered outside the Palace of Versailles in Paris, France, to protest the injustice of Britain and France.

The unprecedented violent mood of the Chinese caught British Prime Minister Lloyd George and French Prime Minister Clemenceau off guard, if it is just Chinese students and people tossing or something, it is no threat to them, but millions of cheap Chinese laborers are beyond their bearing, and only God knows whether the capitalists who have lost their interests will continue to support themselves in the next general election.

Lu Zhengxiang, the head of the delegation, who had originally served as the head of the delegation with the purpose of leaving his name in history, now felt unprecedented pressure, and just outside the station, many students and Chinese associations had already said that if the delegation dared to carry out Qian Nengxun's order and sign the treaty of the Paris Peace Conference, then they would not mind eliminating thieves for the country.

Now it's Lu Zhengxiang's turn to be embarrassed, this person is strictly an intellectual, or the kind with a soft personality. He didn't dare to disobey the government's orders, but he was unwilling to disobey the infamy of the ages, and in desperation, he and several other delegates left Paris under the pretext of illness, and lost all the power of the delegation to Gu Weijun, the representative appointed by the national government.

Chinese British Prime Minister Lloyd George immediately telegraphed to Zhu Erdian, the minister of the British Empire in China, to immediately exert diplomatic pressure on Sun Wen, the supreme leader of the Nationalist Government, and Wang Zhenyu, the de facto leader, to urge Gu Weijun, the representative of the government, to sign the Paris Peace Treaty.

The pressure was pressed down one level at a time, and the last to carry out this order was the British consul in Hankow, Wilmots. This British gentleman still has a lot of status in Wuhan on weekdays, and it is not difficult to see Wang Zhenyu, but this time he pounced. Wang Zhenyu's secretary Chen Bui told him very regretfully that Wang Dashuai was not in Wuhan, he went to Meizhou, Guangdong to attend the opening ceremony of the first Chinese Football League, and it was said that he would stay there for a while. The Japanese, who had been paying attention to the attitude of the Nationalist Government, also received accurate information, and at this critical moment of Sino-Japanese contradictions, Wang Zhenyu, the actual controller of the Nationalist Government in South China, was not in Wuhan, and later confirmed that he had gone to Meizhou, Guangdong Province to play football. This lack of integrity led the Japanese government and military to conclude that South China was not prepared for war.

Wang Zhenyu was really not in Wuhan, but after the May Fourth Movement broke out, he immediately made arrangements and transferred 20 of the 33 standing divisions to Zhengzhou and Xuzhou respectively, a full 500,000 lions pointed to the north. At the same time, Bai Chongxi, Li Liejun, and Tao Zhiyue were appointed as the commanders of the general staff, of which Bai Chongxi was appointed chief of the general staff, Li Liejun was appointed commander of the East Route Army, and Tao Zhiyue was appointed commander of the West Route Army. At the same time, after the first anniversary of the construction of new villages in Guangdong Province has achieved remarkable results, it was ordered to carry out the second round of new village construction in Henan and Jiangxi, where the land problem is more serious. Wang Zhenyu also instructed Yang Wangui and Hao Bing to send elites from various provinces into Henan, and a total of three security mobile divisions and two military police divisions with a total of 130,000 troops were formed to carry out a large-scale sweep of the ground in Henan, paving the way for the construction of new villages in the area. Henan's new rural construction movement relied on more than 50,000 heads and 2.1 billion yuan of investment, and finally realized the original idea.

At the same time, Wang Zhenyu has not forgotten the tragic escape of Belarus in history, and he ordered Wu Peifu to hoard winter supplies for millions of people in Xinjiang, and at the same time actively get in touch with Arash, the leader of the Arash Autonomous Government, and prepare to send troops to Central Asia when necessary. For this reason, Liu Xing was urgently transferred to the post of commander of the Central Asian Front, and five divisions were transferred under his command to enter the Xinjiang region.

But things in Russia are far from going as smoothly as Wang Zhenyu thought, the National Security Bureau, which has won many battles at home, does not seem to be as good as the Japanese in the Russians, and Kolchak is still unwilling to believe that the Chinese can help him in the unfavorable situation of the war, after all, the country itself has not yet completed the substantive unification, and the ability of one of its local governments is really doubtful, although the army of the local government has defeated the Germans in Europe, but in Kolchak's opinion, this is nothing, because the Canadians have also done it. Therefore, Kolchak did not consider establishing a cooperative relationship with the Chinese side, on the contrary, he showed extreme disgust with the Chinese reclaiming the Middle East Road at the juncture of the Russian Civil War. As for the six hundred tons of gold in his possession, he deposited fifty tons of them in the account of the French, and the other fifty tons in the account of the Japanese, as he prepared to retreat.

Wang Zhenyu listened to Zhou Bin's report while packing up his things and preparing to go to Meizhou, he comforted Zhou Bin, who was a little nervous, and said: "The work that should be done still has to be done, and you have to trust my judgment, this stubborn Kolchak will eventually come to us for help." In addition, some elite agents will be sent to support, and I hope that you will play the most critical role in the most critical time. ”

Then Wang Zhenyu went to Meizhou, well, left the secretary, but took his eldest son Wang Jingye away.

Wang Zhenyu was accompanied by Wang Zhengting, chairman of the Chinese Sports Federation and the Chinese Olympic Committee, and other sports officials, all of whom went to participate in the first Chinese Football League.

This Chinese Football League is an event organized by the Chinese Football Association, and according to Wang Zhenyu's original idea, it is naturally the same home and away as the Chinese Super League in later generations. However, soon Wang Zhengting, the first chairman of the Chinese Football Association, told Wang Zhenyu with a bitter face that this could not be done, because the land area is too large and the means of transportation are backward. Wang Zhenyu suddenly realized, so the first Chinese Football League was changed to a competition system. After that, around 1920, the third Chinese Football League was upgraded to the "Chinese Champions Cup Football Tournament" and continued to use the competition system. In the area under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China, a dual-cycle football league is organized on a provincial basis, and the champion of the league participates in the Chinese Champions Cup football match in the following year. After that, it is time to organize the provinces and member states to play the Federation Cup every four years, and these are all later words.

Since the Youth Army has been promoting football throughout the army since the Xinhai Revolution, and even organizing various competitions in the army, football has also been promoted throughout the country as one of the symbols of the Youth Army. However, in the early Chinese football world, military football has always been in a leading and dominant position.

The first Chinese Football League lasted for one month from June 1 to July 4. Wang Zhenyu not only watched several of the games, but also personally played a game on behalf of the Youth Army Football Team and the Meixian Football Team, the final result of the game was a 5:3 Youth Army victory, but the Meixian Football Team, a fifteen-year-old child named Li Huitang, performed amazingly, and he scored three goals in the game. Wang Zhenyu took a photo with the future football star very cordially, and personally awarded him a silver "hat trick" commemorative medal.

Then, without waiting for any results, Wang Zhenyu quietly went to Zhanjiang, where Chen Shaokuan, Minister of the Navy and Commander, and others had been waiting for a long time, along with a large number of German submarine officers and submarine manufacturing technicians who participated in the naval battle of World War I.

In a gloomy dock, Wang Zhenyu turned around and asked Chen Shaokuan: "This is the Zhonghua Jiaolong-type submarine you reported?" ”

Chen Shaokuan is actually not interested in submarines, he hopes that Wang Zhenyu can use the money to introduce or build battleships, but Sa Zhenbing's lesson is in front of him, so he can only hide this idea in his heart, and then report to Wang Zhenyu in a regular manner: "Yes, commission, this is the Zhonghua Jiaolong-type submarine made by imitating the German U-boat, the current number is unified with the X standard, and the code name of this unit is also replaced by the X unit, which means unknown." Oh, these two are the commander of this force, Major General Chen Shiying, and the staff officer, Brigadier General Zeng Yiding. ”
