Chapter 388: Split
At this moment, not only Song Jiaoren and them, but also thousands of people are reading the news in this newspaper.
People who have enmity with Yan Shao gritted their teeth after seeing this news, but there will be no fewer people who sincerely wish them, but in general, there are more people who grit their teeth, for no other reason ββββββ envy, jealousy and hatred...
"If you take advantage of this opportunity, maybe you can indeed ease the enmity between the two parties..."Looking at the news in the newspaper, pursing his lips, Song Jiaoren said with a cautious face.
"It may not be ......... However, it's better to try..."Recalling what happened in the past period of time, Huang Xing said with some hesitation.
After all, the grudge between the two sides is too deep, and Yan Shao's family almost died at their hands, although this is a good opportunity, but it is not necessarily a matter to say that Yan Shao will be willing to reconcile with the Kuomintang, after all, now that people have an absolute advantage, there is nothing to ask for them, in this case, why reconcile with them?
But no matter what, you have to try it like Huang Xing said. If you try, you may fail, but at least there is a little chance until the results come out, but if you don't even try, then there is really no chance...
Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren are both smart people, and they quickly figured this out, but then another trouble came out that had to be solved, and that was...
"Who should I send to Yan Shao to contact? Or who should be the middleman? β
The grudge between the two sides is too deep, and if you send someone who has no friendship, I'm afraid that you will be arrested before the matter is said. So the problem with this candidate is really a headache for the two of them.
However, looking at the content of the newspaper, the two were never willing to let go of this opportunity...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
The content in the newspaper is actually very simple, it is the news that Yan Shao and Elaline have made a marriage contract. There are even photos of Yan Shao proposing to several people at that time in the newspaperββββββ since he wants to get married, he must propose first.
As I once said, Yan Shao has always owed Elano and them a wedding, and a ten-year deficit is definitely not something that can be made up in a few words.
As a man, Yan Shao always has to fulfill his promise, that is, to give them a grand wedding that everyone can remember. Similarly, as a man, Yan Shao's understanding of 'a grand wedding that can be remembered by everyone' is also very simple, that is, the scale of this wedding must be large.
Since the scale of the wedding is to be large. Then the venue naturally needs to be large.
Therefore, when designing the presidential palace, Yan Shaocai specially instructed Wang Xuan and them to make a banquet hall that can hold tens of thousands of banquetsββββββ which is similar to the 'miracle building' in the plan, and a banquet hall of this size is also not available in this era. As has been said in the past. If the design is pillarless, this is definitely not something that can be done by the techniques of this era, so in the case of no other way, you can only get some stone pillars out at the end. That being said. However, with the efforts of Wang Xuan, the entire banquet hall still has more than 7,000 square meters of column-free space, and the overall area is 15,000 square meters, which is equivalent to 11 basketball courts.
Holding a wedding in such a large space is sure to make all those who participate in it remember that for a lifetime...
Although Elaline doesn't care much about the size of the wedding, as a woman, I'm afraid there is no woman who doesn't want her wedding to be grand. So although they felt that it was a bit excessive, they did not dissuade Yan Shao. What's more, that's what he wants...
And after that night, there were only a few days of effort. Yan Shao also proposed to the three of them respectively, as for the time of marriage...
Naturally, when the presidential palace was inaugurated...
That is, half a year later...
Although the construction has been started for more than 2 months, but such a huge palace building 8 months is already the limit, in the construction of the fear that there will be 'no cost' these four words contained in it, those workers need to work 24 hours a day.
Thankfully, because it was a three-shift approach, the workers didn't feel the hard work.
Of course, this is not Wang Xuan's unreasonable kindness, but if the three shifts are rotated, even if they are busy at night, they will not delay the project. And Yan Shao also said, 'regardless of the cost', which means that Wang Xuan and they can do this without worrying about the cost, in this case, what is there to save?
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
The news of Yan Shao's proposal to Elaline and the others spread in just a few days.
Those who are grateful for Yan Shao's favor are naturally sincere blessings, but he has offended a lot of people over the years, so I am afraid that there are not too many people who grit their teeth behind their backs, and after seeing the beauty of Elaline and others in the photo, even some people who had nothing to do with Yan Shao became envious, jealous and hateful, but this is something that cannot be helped.
What's more, being envied, jealous and hated by others is the thing that makes a man proud, so what's there to worry about...
If you have to say that you feel troubled, you can't say that there is none...
In the Provisional Presidential Palace, that is, Yan Shao's residence, Yan Shao was sitting cross-legged in his bedroom, with a letter in his hand.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ I don't think even if I write an invitation to your father, he might not be able to come..."
Shaking the letter lightly in his hand, Yan Shao scratched his head with his left hand and said.
Since the daughter is getting married, it is naturally impossible not to inform the father, and similarly, since you want to marry someone else's daughter, if you don't say something good to the father-in-law, I am afraid that it will be a little rebellious.
However, among the three Elaine, Lu Ying's gambler father was given to Shen Jiang a few years ago, and Caterina's background is not very clear to Yan Shao until now, only Elaline does have a father who is still alive, so Yan Shao only needs to write a letter to this one.
The question is...
Yan Shao has always looked down on Bertrand's guy, and vice versa. Now I have to write an invitation and send it over, inviting people to come over and attend the wedding......... To be honest, Yan Shao really didn't want to look at his old face. So he came up with a very useful reason, that is, Bertrand could not get out.
It is not surprising that as a lieutenant general of the French Army and the emperor of Algeria, Bertrand is afraid that he has countless things to do every day, and he has time to go to China for a trip, since he can't come. It's better not to invite ββββββ by the way, the news has already been sent by telegram, as for this invitation. It's a little more formal, so it's handwritten, anyway, it's almost half a year before the wedding, and I'm not worried that it will be too late...
Seeing Yan Shao sitting there cross-legged and complaining. Elano didn't say anything. just glanced at him with beautiful eyes, and Yan Shao had to put all his complaints back.
No way, who told him that although he didn't like the old guy in Bertrand, he loved the woman in front of him very much.
"Well, who told us to marry his daughter, in that case, please, for the old fellow is in Algeria. I don't have to worry about seeing that guy's old face at the wedding..."
Thinking like this, Yan Shao's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly walked to the desk and picked up the pen and wrote on it. As he sat on the sidelines, Elaline looked at him with gentle eyes......... The slender hand was also gently brushed on Yan Shao's waist...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Yan Shao thought it was good, if it was an ordinary situation, as the emperor of Algeria, Bertrand's old guy would definitely not be able to leave North Africa without permission, after all, as the center of France's colony in North Africa, Algeria always has to have someone to sit down, and the distance between North Africa and China is extremely far, even if you don't count the wedding and some other time, it will take two or three months just to go back and forth.
It is obviously impossible that there has not been a single person in charge of Algeria for such a long time.
But...
After all, Yan Shao's identity is different from before, and his wedding has naturally been valued by Paris...
At this time, Paris, London, or Berlin would never have imagined that the scale of the war would be so large and so tragic a year later. Almost an entire generation of young people in France has been filled in the trenches, which has also caused France to be very demoralized, and it has not been relieved for many years.
And so that although Ray? Coppa and many of the military attachΓ©s in China or the French officers who were helping Yan Shao train had a high opinion of the Wehrmacht, but Paris did not pay attention to this information out of white pride.
Besides, what if these armies are strong? Does France still need the help of a yellow nation?
Cough...
Maybe it's really needed, but definitely not the Army, but the Navy ...
To be exact, it was the three dreadnoughts that Yan Shao had just bought from South America.
At this time, there were no super-dreadnoughts in service, and the two in Brazil were counted, and the one bought from Argentina could definitely be called one of the strongest warships of this era.
The quality of the Chinese navy is not worth mentioning, but if Yan Shao is willing to provide these three warships to the Allied powers, and the Allied powers will operate them, then the Allied powers will definitely have a great advantage in dealing with the German high seas fleet at sea.
Also considering the friendly relationship between Yan Shao and France, when joining forces with the British to deal with the Germans, the French side can also occupy a certain initiativeββββββ where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, Britain and France have been fighting for so many years, and now although they are united because of a Germany, this does not mean that there are no contradictions between them, not to mention anything else, a single dominance is one thing that both sides must fight for.
Therefore, it is necessary for Paris now to strengthen its relationship with Yan Shao.
Of course, this doesn't mean that they have to grovel to Yan Shao, but ......... If it's just that Bertrand wants to take a long vacation to attend his daughter's wedding, it's not impossible...
So to Yan Shao's surprise, the French government actually agreed to Bertrand's request for a long leave, and even deliberately let Lei? Kopa expressed his blessings...
At least in the eyes of the French themselves, this action is already considered a degradation.
But if they know that Yan Shao actually wants that guy from Bertrand not to come, I don't know what kind of expression they will have...
However, that was more than a month later...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
In December, Beijing was already covered in snow, and the people went out wrapped in thick cotton clothes. I wish I could wrap myself in a polar bear, and I do.
However, in Yan Shao's mansion, people are still as busy as usual. If there is any difference between it and usual, it is probably that I wear a little more clothes on my body.
"Adjutant Wu..." In the corridor, several officials from the presidential palace were gathering together to talk about something, when they saw Wu Qianqiu striding towards Yan Shao's office, and stepped forward to greet them one by one.
For this henchman around Yan Shao, they didn't dare to offend.
Although Wu Qianqiu himself does not have much real power, after all, he is also a close person to the 'Son of Heaven'. Who will offend him for no reason.
What's more, the recent hot news of Wu Qianqiu and Tang Li's fight, these people also know the truth, and they are right about that Tang Li. They are even more jealous than Wu Qianqiu...
On the other side, Wu Qianqiu didn't know what they thought, and when he saw someone greeting him, he hurriedly turned around and nodded to them. Then he continued to walk briskly in the direction of Yan Shao's office.
In the office. Yan Shao was looking at a newspaper in hand, which reported the recent news of Yan Shao's engagement, but the content on it made Yan Shao grit his teeth angrily.
How to say it, the content in the newspaper has no objection to Yan Shao's marriage, after all, Yan Shao is 30 years old, and he is already an older young man in this era, and not getting married is an outlier.
He was going to marry a foreigner, and the guys in the newspapers were not against it. Although the fact that the mother of the country is a foreigner is somewhat strange, at this time China no longer has much of the idea of the Celestial Empire in the pastββββββ there is no way. Have you been convinced...
In the eyes of some cheap bones, it is an honor for Yan Shao to marry two foreigners...
What really made Yan Shao grit his teeth was that some people in the newspaper opposed Yan Shao's marriage of three wives, they thought that since the country was already republican, then polygamy should be abolished and monogamy should be replaced by monogamy like a civilized country, and Yan Shao, as the head of state, should lead by example, and take the initiative to cut off relations with two of them as an example...
The latter meaning is actually very clear, as the head of a country, he must set an example for monogamy. But if he only marries one wife, won't the remaining two become lovers? And as the head of a country, Yan Shao shouldn't have two lovers outside when he has a wife, wouldn't that become cheating? Spreading the word will definitely have a bad impact, and may even affect the image of the whole country, so Yan Shao should swing his sword and take the initiative to cut off the relationship with those two people, only in this way can he be 'an example of the world'...
For Yan Shao, if the former one can be more or less tolerated, then the latter one will directly touch his reverse scales. Yan Shao can more or less understand the former point, but the latter one actually wants Yan Shao to take the initiative to cut off relations with two of them......... In this regard, Yan Shao really wants to reply with a 'QNMLBG'...
But just as Yan Shao was looking at the newspaper and gritting his teeth, Wu Qianqiu walked in from outside.
"Chiaki? Can I help you? β
"The telegram I just got...", Wu Qianqiu said and handed a telegram to Yan Shao.
After receiving the telegram, Yan Shao looked at it seriously, and only looked up after half a ring.
"The Kuomintang..."
"That's right..."
Receiving an affirmative answer, Yan Shao refocused his attention on the telegram...
"The Kuomintang..."
Muttering in his mouth, Yan Shao read it.
The content of the telegram was actually very simple, that is, Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren and others hoped to reconcile with the Kuomintang and at the same time lift the ban imposed on the Kuomintang by the Kuomintang government, so that the Kuomintang could return to the mainland, and this party, which had made a lot of efforts to overthrow the Manchus, would not disappear like this...
Song Jiaoren ......... Huang Xing..."
Looking at the telegram in front of him, Yan Shao recalled his impressions of Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren. I have to say that the image of these two people in Yan Shao's heart is indeed very good, although Old Man Huang is a little cautious, and he is self-serving, but he is a rare rectum, if he is dissatisfied with you, he will definitely not hide it in his heart, and similarly, this person will definitely not have any bad intentions, he is upright, and he has no interest in fame and fortune.
And what about Song Jiaoren? Although he is an idealist, and his ideal can only be an ideal in his life, he is also a very upright person. If you associate with him, you may laugh at his ideals, but you will never look down on him as a person.
But it's Sun Yat-sen...
When Yan Shao was young, he was actually the one he admired the most, but Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren, because of the relationship between propaganda, they didn't know much about Lu Dao, at most they knew the name of Lu Dao.
However, as Yan Shao grew older, he found that there was such a big gap between his childhood idol and him in reality...
Lack of trust, liking the new and hating the old, abandoning his wife and daughter, assassinating revolutionary comrades, and even killing reporters who criticized him, and scolding Huang Xing after the failure of the second revolution, as a result, Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing did not meet again until his death.
Plus there's a relationship with Kaoru Otsuki in it...
Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren are okay, but Sun Yat-sen's words, Yan Shao really lacks good feelings...
So after the most reluctance, Yan Shao just put the telegram aside, planning to wait for some time...
However, it didn't take long for news to come from Tokyo that there was a split within the KMT.
Soong Jiao-jen, Huang Xing, and many of his followers continued to preside over the Kuomintang, while Sun Yat-sen founded the Chinese Revolutionary Party...
So far, the Kuomintang has been divided into two, and its strength has been greatly reduced...

Recently, the limelight has been tight, and some things can't be written in too much detail-γ- (to be continued......
