"Mr. Shaochuan, who has admired his name for a long time, has been unparalleled in his tongue debate at the Paris Peace Conference, and fought for national power, which is really admirable." Zhang Tinglan said with a smile.

"I'm ashamed, it's really not worth mentioning." Gu Weijun sighed and said: "The national sovereignty has not been won back in the slightest, and I am ashamed of the people of the whole country who are full of hope, even if Zuihou did not sign, but Shandong still fell into the hands of the Japanese, and it is really heartbreaking to see the national sovereignty fall!" ”

"Shaochuan, it's not your fault, a weak country has no diplomacy, you have done your duty, don't be demanding." Wang Yongjiang said with a smile on the side: "Humble Yan often talks about jungle shijie, the weak eat the strong, the so-called powers are born of a bunch of robbers, and reasoning with them is to seek fish from the wood." ”

"Sure enough, without strength, there is no dignity." Gu Weijun said: "When I was in Paris, I met the Fengtian purchasing group, and after talking a few words, I felt a lot of emotion. We ran to negotiate with the great powers, and we were still superstitious about justice, while Mukden was searching for jishu equipment, and the level of the two was clear at a glance. After returning to China, I also wanted to visit the three eastern provinces, explore the road to a strong country, how the country should develop, and what should be done about diplomacy. ”

Although the Paris Peace Conference made Gu Weijun famous all over the world, it was actually a huge blow to his ideals, Gu Weijun saw the cruelty and reality of this shijie, and had to worry about China's future. After returning to China, Gu Weijun continued to pay attention to Fengjun's actions over the years, and after some research, Gu Weijun dared to be surprised, and before he knew it, Fengjun had made too many earth-shattering changes.

For example, the farm system ended the tenant system for more than 2,000 years; Advocate science and engineering education, change China's tradition of emphasizing literature over science, and Jishu workers are respected; Invest in industrialization and turn around the social landscape of the whole of China.

As an outstanding talent who has studied in the West for many years, Gu Weijun knows it very well. The great powers are also doing these things from the feudal era to the capital era. It's just that they don't have a clear plan, they look very messy, and there are even regressions, and they last for a long time.

The Northeast directly skipped those wrong links and went straight to the core, and it is obvious that the leadership of the three eastern provinces is very sober and wise, and has thoroughly studied the development law of Shijie, and every measure is meaningful. With good intentions, being able to do this has been ten million times better than Beiyang.

Gu Weijun became more and more identified with Fengjun, and deliberately went to the northeast to observe a few times, and the changes he actually saw were more gratifying. Therefore, Gu Weijun has the heart to join Fengjun and regard this place as a new starting point for his career.

"Mr. Gu. Recently, Japan's Foreign Minister Yasuya Uchida came to Mukden for negotiations. I would like to ask Mr. Gu to talk to him on our behalf, I wonder if I can agree? ”

Japanese Foreign Minister? Yasuya Uchida? After hearing this, Gu Weijun was immediately surprised, Japan has never sent any big people to deal with the Chinese government, and a minister is enough. When will it be the foreign minister's turn to come forward, and he will go to Mukden in person, this is a bit too subversive!

"Commander-in-Chief, dare to ask. I always have to know what I want to talk about. ”

"Since the assassination of Dashuai, our relations with Japan have been very stiff, and there have been military confrontations on the Yalu River, Shanhaiguan, South Manchurian Railway and other places. Now, in order to deal with the Russian majority with all their might, the Japanese want to ease relations with us and concentrate their strength. ”

Gu Weijun's brain is also extremely flexible, and he immediately understood that Japan could send a foreign minister over in person, which obviously meant that he was soft on the army. A small place, shili, to be able to do this step, is really remarkable, even if there is an element of luck, but it is also the backbone of the Feng army, the strength, and dare to confront the Japanese. Without two brushes, you don't want to be respected by the Japanese, and now it seems that Fengjun is indeed unusual.

"Thanks to the commander-in-chief, Shaochuan is willing to take on this task, but please provide a little more information, I want to straighten things out first and be prepared!"

Zhang Tinglan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Mr. Shaochuan, if you don't think the official is small, you will temporarily act as the foreign minister of the three eastern provinces!" ”

Speaking of which, the three eastern provinces do lack diplomatic talents, Gu Weijun can come, Zhang Tinglan is simply overjoyed, and naturally wants to give a suitable position. Gu Weijun also hurriedly said: "When I came to Fengtian, I intended to serve the commander-in-chief, so I won't shirk it, and ask the commander-in-chief to see my performance!" ”

Gu Weijun hurriedly prepared materials and planned how to deal with Uchida. Zhang Tinglan said to Wang Yongjiang with a smile: "Mr. Minyuan, what Fengjun lacks most now is talent, if you can still bring in a specialist like Gu Shaochuan, you really can't ask for it!" ”

Wang Yongjiang also said with a smile: "There are people everywhere, but there are not many talents who are really available. Humble words, didn't you tinker with a propaganda film earlier, the effect is very good, many immigrants in the customs decided to go to the three eastern provinces because they saw the film. In my opinion, it is better for us to set up a special department to tap talents, and they will go to Guannai and even overseas to recruit talented people among the Chinese, and then pull these people to the northeast. ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard this idea, his eyes immediately lit up, in the developed countries in the future, as well as large enterprises, they all have special talent strategies, and they are full of shijie to search for available talents. Now that the development of the Fengjun army has reached a certain level, there is a need for talented people everywhere, and it is true that great efforts should be made to recruit talented people and invite a large number of useful talents.

"Mr. Min Yuan, your method is too good, I will immediately arrange personnel to be responsible for this matter. In my opinion, the first thing to recruit should be placed on several military schools, especially the Baoding Military Academy. There is the earliest school, the teachers are also abundant, there are many talents worth wooing, and the Nanyang Naval Academy also has a group of naval talents, all of which are urgently needed by us. ”

At this time, there were many influential figures in the later period of the Republic of China who had just emerged, such as Bai Chongxi, such as Zhang Zhizhong, such as Chen Shaokuan, etc., all of whom were around thirty years old, and their careers had just started, and they were not worth mentioning, and it would be much easier to recruit.

Zhang Zuolin is in Japan, and he must take care of the opinions of old-school figures, and Zhang Tinglan cannot expand his team at will, and he tries to use talents from the three eastern provinces as much as possible. Now that the situation has changed, it is time for the talent policy to change and recruit talents from all over the world. It must also be on the agenda.

"Humble words, if you think about these military academy students, you'd better think clearly first, they are not alone, you go to recruit people and go with you, they are all complex teacher-student relationships, intertwined, and the vast majority of people are willing to return to their hometowns after graduation, and they will not come to the three eastern provinces easily."

Wang Yongjiang is not wrong at all. In this era, the geographical gap is still very serious, and the KMT's brain-dead inter-provincial autonomy has produced very bad consequences. People in all provinces first think of their own provinces, and talents working in other provinces will also be discriminated against and excluded, so the flow of talents is greatly restricted. It also exacerbated the secession of the local shili.

"Mr. Min Yuan, I am extremely opposed to the concept of regionality. China has always been a great unification. In ancient times, there was a tradition of serving as officials in different places, and how many dynasties were continued, in order to prevent local secession. As a result, after arriving in the Republic of China, a group of bastards simply imitated the backward political system of the West, wanted to engage in federalism, and shouted the slogan of inter-provincial autonomy. As a result, the good haode is divided into a country, which is definitely a crime! ”

"Haha, it's useless to say that you're angry again, it's all reality. It's not something that can be changed in a day or two. I think if you want to recruit students from military academies, it is better to start with key personnel, such as Jiang Fangzhen, the former principal of the Baoding Military Academy, who has very high military attainments and has a high prestige among students. In addition, in the navy, it is best to convince Sa Zhenbing, this old man has the oldest qualifications in the navy, and his connections are unparalleled, and if he does his job, everything will be convenient! ”

"High!" Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but give Wang Yongjiang a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Minyuan, you are really resourceful, I really admire!" ”

"To put it bluntly, recruiting talent is one aspect, and how to use it is another. If you bring in a large number of foreign talents, what should you do with the original people, how to balance the people below, and what should happen if these newcomers are in a group and cannot integrate into the Fengjun army for a long time. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Min Yuan, for your advice." Zhang Tinglan couldn't help but bow to Wang Yongjiang, how to use talents is much more important than discovering talents. In history, Beiyang has also recruited the world's great talents, but the result is still inevitably decaying. The same was true of the later Kuomintang Party, there were many tiger generals who were able to recruit and fight, but they did not die in the hands of the other party, and many of them were pitted by their own people, which was a painful lesson.

Wang Yongjiang is older than Zhang Zuoxiang, in fact, he regards Zhang Tinglan as a junior from the bottom of his heart, and is willing to guide Zhang Tinglan more so that he can be less negligent.

Zhang Tinglan also said: "Employing people is a university question, and I must carefully study a set of norms. However, compared with military talents, the civil affairs system needs more and more complex talents, and unlike the military, civil affairs talents must rely on their own training, and this part has to worry more about it. ”

"Well, I'm also born to work hard." Wang Yongjiang said with a wry smile: "I just met Chu Mingyuan, that young man is good, his ability to do things is very strong, I have promoted him to be the director of the Rehe Agricultural Reclamation Bureau, it is estimated that in a few years, the civil affairs of Rehe will be handed over to him." He also made a suggestion to me to build a railway from Mukden to Chengde directly, and to use Chengde as a direct link between the northeast and the northwest. I think this suggestion is very good, in the past, the Northeast had to pass through Beijing and Tianjin, in order to transfer to the Northwest, now go directly to Chengde, not only save time and effort, but also for the next step of expansion Shili best preparation. ”

The things discussed by Zhang Tinglan and Wang Yongjiang were all related to the next step of Fengjun's development, and after making a decision, they seized the time to implement it.

The next day, Zhang Xueliang came to Zhang Tinglan again, and as soon as they met, he said: "Humble words, I have discussed with Mrs. Ru and Feng Zhi, and they have all agreed, I will leave for Europe in the next two days." ”

"Han Qing, since you are in such a hurry to leave, before leaving, there is one more thing waiting for you to do!"

"What's the matter?"

"Of course, it's those scum of the Feng army who betrayed their whereabouts, although it is said that the marshal died at the hands of the Japanese, but they are also accomplices, can they still let it go?"

As soon as Zhang Xueliang heard this, he immediately clenched his fists: "That's right, Zhang Haipeng, Tang Yulin, Yu Chonghan, and Xiqia can't let go of any of these bastards." My father treated them well, and repeatedly promoted and reused, but these people actually ate inside and out, causing my father to die tragically at the hands of the Japanese, if I don't kill them, I can't understand the hatred in my heart! ”

The case of Zhang Zuolin's assassination has been basically investigated, this kind of lawsuit is a national feud, if you want to settle it, just wait for the time to defeat the Japanese! Keeping those scum also lost their value, just so that Zhang Xueliang could hate it with his own hands, and it could also resolve a little anger in his heart.

He took Zhang Xueliang, one after the other, to the prison cell dedicated to Zhang Haipeng and others, Zhang Haipeng bore the brunt, and the young marshal walked in front of him coldly.

"Zhang Haipeng, when you colluded with the Japanese, you didn't expect that there would be today, right?"

"Becoming a king and losing a coward, Zhang Hanqing, don't be complacent, Lao Tzu made a wrong step, but he didn't expect that the Japanese are also fucking rice buckets!"

Zhang Haipeng was about to continue, but with a snap, his body fell to the ground...... (To be continued......)
