Even when Yan Shao was most short of money, he didn't think about using drugs. On the one hand, it is easy to harm others and oneself, and China can end up where it is today, in addition to the corruption and incompetence of the Manchu government, drugs are also one of the reasons. Every time he thought of this, Yan Shao was full of disgust for drugs such as opium.

But the most important reason is that Yan Shao doesn't have that ability. After all, before the crossing, Yan Shao was just a very ordinary and ordinary young man, drugs were too far away from him, and he was not a doctor, nor was he a top student in medical school, let alone heroin, and he didn't even know how to get the most basic opium...

In this way, this road is naturally cut off. But even if he knew, it was useless, after all, the Germans had already researched heroin long before he crossed into this world, and even if he did, he would only eat behind the Germans.

On the other hand, because Yan Shao was well aware of the dangers of drugs, neither he nor his family had ever touched drugs, let alone Elaino, even the people in the presidential palace and the manor. As long as someone is found to be taking drugs, then Yan Shao will only give this person one word...

It is precisely because of this relationship that Yan Shao's side does not dare to guarantee anything else, but almost no one dares to move drugs. Of course, it is not that there are people who are lucky, the so-called full of warmth and lust, since they are with Yan Shao, they dare not say how much money they can give, but they are much stronger than ordinary people, so there are many things that they didn't dare to think of. It seems that there is also a little bit of interest in trying it out...

However, whether it is to ensure Yan Shao's safety, or for some other reason, Yan Shao's monitoring of the people around him has always been relatively strong. So, these lucky people usually can't hide it for too long...

The one that has been hidden for the longest time has only been hidden for more than two weeks...

And it is precisely because of Yan Shao's leading role that very few people in the upper echelons of the government will touch this kind of thing―――――― since the implementation of the [anti-drug and anti-gang] activities, there are very few people in the government who dare to touch it, after all, the government's ban on drugs has been written into the law.

If anyone else dares to touch this thing, they are simply joking with their own future.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Wangping Street in Shanghai. Although with the development of Shanghai, the residents of the city have many channels to get the news they are interested in, but people are still used to coming to this street. After all, this is also the former 'newspaper street', and almost all the newspaper offices in Shanghai are here, if you want to get any news. It really doesn't get much more convenient than here.

But it's different from a few years ago. A few years ago, Wangping Street was one of the busiest areas in Shanghai, but there was little order at all.

And now...

It's still noisy, but it's a little more orderly than it was a few years ago.

There is no reason for this, the so-called food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace, Cang Liao is solid and knows etiquette, life is good, and you can eat enough. Naturally, the Chinese people will be much stronger than in the past.

However, another reason is the [anti-drug and anti-gang] operation that was carried out at the beginning. Even within the concession, it was not avoided.

In fact, after the Nationalist government played an important role on the battlefield on the Western Front, even Britain and France did not dare to underestimate the importance of China. So taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Yan Shao put forward a series of requirements―――――― according to Yan Shao's statement. "Don't you think it's a bit unfair that I sent so many troops to Europe to fight for you, but I could only get a piece of wasteland like Iraq?"

Iraq is certainly not a wasteland, but who called the British and the French do not know. After considering China's contribution to Verdun, the French were embarrassed to let China only get such a 'wasteland' as Iraq, so a series of compensation measures followed.

Of course, these measures were based on not harming the interests of Britain and France, and it was precisely for this reason that Yan Shao failed to recover the sovereignty of the concession.

But China's contribution this time is indeed not small, so in the end Britain and France still gave up part of the rights, for example, the Chinese government has the right to enter the concession to enforce the law, in addition, even if the citizens of Britain and France and other countries, if they violate the laws of China, even if they hide in the concession, as long as the evidence is conclusive, the Chinese government still has the right to try it―――――― the former point is easier to discuss, but the latter point, the British and French attitude is a little tough, after all, one of the important roles of the concession is this right, In their opinion, letting the Chinese enter the concession to arrest the Chinese is already a big concession, and there is no need to give up so much.

However, after all, China today is very different from the China of a few years ago, and even Britain and France dare not ignore China's role today.

So after more than two months of negotiations, the latter item was finally taken down.

Although the concession could not be completely recovered, it was a great achievement for the Nationalist government to recover these two items. However, in this way, the criminals who had been hiding in the concession in the past were unlucky.

In the past, there were a large number of criminals hiding in the concession, making it impossible for the national government to get the punishment they deserved, but this time...

In the same way, this right also allows the State Social Government to be more smooth when implementing the [anti-drug and anti-gang] activities, at least there is no need to worry about what to do after the criminals run into the concession―――――― in the past, the Shanghai Police Department has encountered similar situations, the culprit is chasing here, the people over there have run into the concession, looking at the foreign devils guarding the gate of the concession, the police were suddenly blind...

In fact, it was not only them, but even the British and French soldiers guarding the gate of the concession also felt speechless.

Unlike in the past, if Britain and France looked down on China in the past, now the situation has improved dramatically. It's normal that the great powers are originally very snobbish guys, and how people completely look at each other's strength, and now China's strength is stronger. With the exception of some racists, the vast majority of British and French people have greatly improved their attitudes towards China.

Especially during the Battle of Verdun, due to Cai Yi's expeditionary force, he successfully held Verdun. Shanghai's public concession and French concession have held many celebrations, and even invited the mayor of Shanghai to participate.

It was from that time that China's relations with the Great Powers improved greatly.

――――――――――――――――――――

For those who fled into the concession under the arrest of the police, in fact, the soldiers of the concession also knew very well what they did. To be honest, they really don't want this kind of person to enter the concession, after all, there are more such people in the concession. There will also be big problems with the security of the concession.

As for making trouble for China or something? Come on, yes, Britain and France were indeed concerned about the possible threat posed by China to their colonies in the Far East. But troublemaker? Could it be that some gangsters can bring down the national government?

Although the gangs in Shanghai were indeed huge at that time, it is important to understand that the largest organ of violence in the world was in the hands of the government. No gangs are worth mentioning compared to the military―――――― not to mention Mexico's scumbag government. Even the drug dealers in their own country can't be even.

But Mexico can't be blamed for that. After all, Mexico's situation is also permissive by the United States. And the inside of the Mexican government is probably almost infiltrated by those drug dealers. It is said that if any police officer tries to catch a drug dealer, the first person to kill him is the other police officers around him.

In Mexico, there are also many cases of police attacks, and there are even cases where SWAT officers are attacked by drug dealers and eventually wiped out. In addition, the drug dealers also have very strong firepower, including not only heavy machine guns, etc., but also anti-materiel sniper rifles ―――――― such good equipment. Not to mention dealing with some cops, even if you go to the battlefield, it's no problem...

Nature. Such a situation is probably difficult for the Chinese people to understand.

――――――――――――――――――――

Although those concession soldiers also disliked these criminals who fled into the concession, duty is duty, so every time a criminal escapes into the concession, the next scene is the scene of the concession soldiers and the police staring, and a few times even almost broke out into an armed conflict, which made both sides a little unhappy.

Not to mention the Chinese government, even Britain and France are a little troubled by this situation, which is one of the reasons why they will agree to Article 1 so happily. After all, even in order to reflect the rights of Britain and France, it is not a matter of always letting some gangsters into the concession...

So for the time being, I don't want to mention what the above thinks, at least the following is still very happy, and the recovery of this right has also made Shanghai's public order suddenly improved, and even Wangping Street, which is located in the public concession, has become much more orderly...

Naturally, the people at the newspaper were happy about this, after all, no one likes to be in a very noisy situation in front of their door all the time, and it is always good to be orderly...

And the people who were just outside the door were looking at the doors of the various newspaper offices, waiting for the latest news, and a large group of newspaper boys finally ran out of the various newspaper offices, waving the latest newspapers in their hands, and still selling them there.

"Outside of the nickname, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the number of Siberian immigrants has reached 300,000..."

“……… The Russian Red Elements won successive battles and defeated the Intervention Army again..."

"The President and his wife have arrived in the Mediterranean Sea on a ship, and will soon arrive in Marseille, France..."

Listening to the news, the people waiting outside immediately became a sensation, and soon a large crowd surrounded them and bought the latest newspapers from the hands of the newsboys. From time to time, a few people get together to discuss the news in the newspaper...

"Siberia, has it reached 300,000..."

"300,000 is not much, you don't look at how big the place is, I heard that the government plans to immigrate there 5 million, but I am afraid that it will take a long time for so many people, it is said that the government has made a plan, intends to emigrate so many people to Siberia in ten years, I don't know if it can be done..."

"It should be no problem, after all, everyone goes there for ten acres of land for nothing, and I heard that many people have gone to Siberia for this..."

"Ten acres of land is good, but it's too cold there, and ten acres of land. Didn't the newspapers say that the climate in Siberia is ripe at most once a year, strictly calculated. It may not be much more than the five acres of land here, if the harvest is not good..."

"It's a defeat anyway, and there is also the Kazakh province, isn't there a lot of past, I heard that the climate in Kazakhstan is much stronger than that of Siberia, and the land there seems to be much better..."

"Of course, it's been written in the newspapers. And since the government only gives five acres of land, it must be because there is still a big gap between it and Siberia..."

As he spoke, the man looked at another piece of news. "Then again, these bandits are really powerful. Actually won the war again, those interfering armies are too useless, and they can't even handle some red bandits..."

"That's true..."

"Yes, it's a lot more capable than I thought. And Britain and France. It's a shame that you can't even handle some red elements, but ......... After all, the longer it drags on, the more stable our position will be in Siberia and Central Asia, and I really hope that these red elements can hold out for a longer time..."

――――――――――――――――――――

Unlike the Hereafter, in the Hereafter. Even some capitalists and landlords are in the goal of 'saving the country'. I am also more in favor of communism―――――― of course, this number is certainly not very large, but there are still some of them. Not to mention the workers and peasants, who were naturally ironclad in their support for communism.

In this era, however, communism in China is a bit awkward.

After all, Soviet Russia has just been established and is being surrounded by the intervention forces, and no one can guarantee how long this new regime will last, and maybe it will be wiped out next week. In addition, China is now in a state of vigorous development, which can be said to be the strongest period in the past 100 years, and has not yet climbed to the top, so the Chinese people naturally have little interest in the so-called communism.

After all, no one likes an idea that they can't even keep, and the relationship between China and Russia has been determined from the moment the Nationalist government implements its westward expansion strategy. Whether it is Soviet Russia or the Provisional Government, as long as it is Russian, it will inevitably become an enemy of China.

Although there were still a large number of illiterate people in China at this time, at least one thing they understood was that China and Russia were now enemy countries, and no matter what Russia did, it would have bad intentions towards China...

In addition, the current Soviet Russia, Soviet Russia, all have a Russian word in their names, and the main members are also Russians, and the Chinese people naturally do not have the slightest good impression of Soviet Russia, if the official name of Soviet Russia is red elements, then the people's name for it is mainly called in the newspapers, that is, the so-called 'red bandits'―――――― even if the so-called communism is actually made by the Germans...

However, they were also a little surprised that those red elements could carry it for such a long time, after all, when Soviet Russia was surrounded and beaten by the intervention army, many newspapers thought that this red bandit regime would not be wiped out in a long time.

I don't understand, but the Chinese people are very happy about this result. After all, the longer the Soviet Russia lasted, the smoother their westward expansion strategy became, and when the defense line built by the troops of the Ural Military District in the Ural Mountains was completed, even if the coalition forces came to the door to ask the Nationalist government to withdraw from Siberia, they were not afraid―――――― although China's strength was already very strong at present, but after all, it had been bullied by the powers for a long time, so the vast majority of the Chinese people were still a little weak in their hearts towards the powers...

――――――――――――――――――――

On the other hand, while they were still discussing there, as the newspaper said, the cruise ship that Yan Shao was on was not very far from Marseille, France.

In fact, if Yan Shao hadn't taken a cruise ship and changed to a warship, I'm afraid their speed would have been faster, after all, the maximum speed of large cruise ships is not particularly high, and the usual speed is even slower, and there is absolutely no way to compare with those warships with a maximum speed of more than 30 knots...

However, this time Yan Shao also has the idea of taking his wife and children to travel to Europe, especially Lu Ying and Otsuki Kaoru, well, and Fumiko, who have never been to Europe, so naturally they want to have a good time for a while.

On the other hand, although the Spanish flu has gradually receded, according to the intelligence of the Secret Service, the flu is still circulating in many parts of the world, so...

Even if it's just for the sake of safety, Yan Shao and the others need to do enough precautions, otherwise they will be infected with the Spanish flu for a trip to the peace meeting, and finally give their lives, which is too worthless―――――― what Yan Shao doesn't know is that in history, Wilson seems to have suffered from the Spanish flu during his time in France, but he was lucky to recover...

Of course, while he is enjoying the luck, there are many people who feel the misfortune...

During the period from 1918 to 1920, the Spanish flu ravaged the world, and there are many numbers of deaths, some say more than 50 million people died, some say more than 20 million people died, but no matter which one is correct, one thing is certain, that is, even the First World War, which lasted for more than four years, caused fewer deaths than the Spanish flu, which only lasted for a year or two...

In any case, after a long voyage, Yan Shao and his team finally arrived in Marseille, France, a city that Yan Shao hadn't been back to for many years... (To be continued......)
