"Come on, let's have a drink..."

In a century-old restaurant in the Old Town, Ma Du stood up from his position and raised his glass to the rest of the table at the table.

It can be seen that the atmosphere at the wine table is very warm, this person named Ma Du has just proposed, and the others have already stood up in agreement.

After that, as Ma Du cleanly drank the wine in the cup, the atmosphere on the wine table was suddenly lifted to the climax.

After many glasses of wine, Ma Du's face was slightly drunk.

Alcohol has always been the easiest to get drunk, but happy wine can sometimes have the same effect.

As one of the leaders of the 'republican' movement, Ma can be regarded as a die-hard supporter of Tao Yuanzhou, and has not only taken many risks for this, but also paid a lot for it. Now that the effort is about to be reaped, how can Ma Du be unhappy.

As long as you think about how much benefit and prestige you can get from being the leader of the 'republic' movement, even if you don't have a glass of wine, I'm afraid that Ma Du himself will get drunk.

Probably not long ago, from a population dissatisfied with the Guoshe government, Ma Du, Tao Yuanzhou and others learned a situation. That is, the Nationalist government and Yan Shao have decided to formally sign a treaty, join the Entente camp, and declare war on the Central Powers led by Germany...

And under the right circumstances, the Commune government may also send a large expeditionary force to Europe to fight in the war...

It is important to know that the republican movement in China is in full swing at present, and many people and gentry in China believe that the current situation of the national government should be changed. In particular, the government of the state and society insisted on going its own way. The matter of having to join the Entente and sending troops to Europe to fight in the war was even more discussed at home. Many people were dissatisfied with Yan Shao and the Kuomintang.

In the streets, some people also began to hold demonstrations to demand that the Commune government cancel the decision.

At this time, Yan Shao actually decided to join the Entente, which definitely added fuel to the fire for the current situation. Although it is not clear how Yan Shao could have made such a decision at this time, in Ma Du's opinion. But he has a few more chances of winning.

No matter how cunning Yan Shao is, in the case of public anger, I believe there will be no other way. In the end, they can only bow to the demands of the people, obediently bow their heads, and give them part of the power.

And as long as they have such a head, Ma Du and Tao Yuanzhou are sure. Slowly. Knife by knife cut the flesh of Yan Shao's body until he was just a symbol...

Of course, Yan Shao may also ignore the demands of the people, and even make measures such as bombardment. But this is in the hands of Ma Du and others.

Hasn't Yan Shao always pursued the principle of 'putting the people first', if he refused, he could take this opportunity to uncover Yan Shao's hypocrisy. At present, although the domestic situation is becoming more and more stable, those warlords have become provincial governors or division commanders one by one. It seems to be very honest, but it has only been 4 years since Xinhai passed. The devil believes they'll forget those days...

If Yan Shao's hypocritical mask can be exposed, as long as there is a response from these people, maybe they can even force Yan Shao and the Guoshe government to give up their current position...

And who does the position belong to after giving up the deuce? Naturally, they are the heroes of these 'republican' movements.

There is also Yan Shao's family business, and the Yushi Group, which is known as the world's largest group, maybe they can also get some names and nationalize them...

Although Ma Du also knows very well that the above two things are probably wishful thinking, even if you just think about it, it makes people intoxicated...

————————————————————

Yan Shao made a stupid move, Ma Du and these leaders of the republican movement naturally celebrated well, and only planned to wait for tomorrow to once again encourage the people and students in the school to launch a larger-scale march to force Yan Shao to give up power...

And as long as he doesn't give up power for a day, Ma Du and they won't give up for a day.

must grind until he bows his head and admits defeat, otherwise if the expeditionary force is allowed to win a few battles in Europe, wouldn't it be to restore Yan Shao's prestige.

At this time, in fact, whether it is Ma Du or Tao Yuanzhou, they are already difficult to ride a tiger. After all, they have completely turned against Yan Shao, if they can't force Yan Shao to admit defeat, even if they can't do anything to them now because of concerns about public opinion, sooner or later they will settle some grievances with them.

So in this battle, they are only allowed to win, not to lose...

If they are defeated, they will be left in the abyss, and only by defeating them can they go further.

In fact, a long time ago, Ma Du also wondered if he was a ghost and wanted to do such a thing. But in the end, he figured out that if there really is a ghost in this world, then this ghost is 'power', and it is power that fascinates his eyes and makes him lose his fear.

It is precisely because he is unwilling to fight in his current position for a lifetime that he chooses to support Tao Yuanzhou and make such a big move...

In the past, Madu also regretted it, but now...

He was just glad that he had chosen the right ship in the first place...

————————————————————

No matter how lively the banquet is, there is a time to end.

When it was completely dark, with the support of several people, the drunken Ma Du drove to his residence in a car.

Although they are now fighting against Yan Shao, in fact, everyone knows very well that maybe Yan Shao will deal with them, but definitely not at this time. After all, now everyone knows that Yan Shao is not dealing with them, if something really happens to them, the first thing people will think of is Yan Shao, even if Yan Shao comes up with some evidence to accuse them of corruption, some people will instinctively think about whether this will be framed...

So at this time, Yan Shao would never come forward to trouble them...

This is one of the reasons why horses feel reassured...

It's just that after he got in the car, not long after, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Although he was already drunk, he still had basic judgment. At least he could tell if the car was going in the direction of his house.

In addition, now he is fighting against Yan Shao again, and he also has the prestige of the Special Affairs Bureau...

Almost just for a moment. Ma Du was frightened into a cold sweat, and the whole person sobered up in a blink of an eye.

"Who are you?" Coming to his senses, Ma Du sat up straight and shouted in a low voice.

It was at this time that he found that there was not only a driver driving the car in the car, but also a person sitting in the co-pilot's seat.

Later, he secretly tried it, and found that he didn't know how to get it. The doors on both sides were locked, and they couldn't be opened from the inside, in other words. He's already in a cage.

It was at this time that he regretted that he had not listened to the persuasion of others and carried a pistol with him. Although this may not be of great use, but after all, he can also have some ability to protect himself—————— but I don't know if he has thought about it. In the case of her being so drunk. Anyone can take a gun from him, even if he has a gun on him...

————————————————————

"Who are we..."Hearing Ma Du's words, the young man sitting in the passenger seat turned his head.

The young man looked to be in his early 20s, wearing a black suit and short hair, and although he was not a particularly handsome guy, he looked very energetic. In the dark night, a pair of white teeth looked even more snow-white and shiny.

Bai Sensen's. It's a little scary...

"Mr. Ma, you scolded at the wine table for so long just now. Why don't we know who we are now?" said the other man laughing, sitting in the driver's seat.

"You are—" Hearing them say this, Ma Du suddenly understood, but his heart also felt cold.

At the wine table just now, there are definitely not a few people he scolds, but there is only one organization that has the ability to do this...

"The Secret Service..."

"That's right," the man in the passenger seat laughed. You see, Mr. Ma, as long as you are willing to think about it, can you still think of us..."

Next to him, the man in the driver's seat also let out a burst of laughter very cooperatively. It's just this burst of laughter, but the horse can't help but shudder...

"Alright, let's not talk nonsense...", turning around, the man in the passenger seat spoke. Let me introduce myself first, my surname is Hua, his surname is Heng, the two of us are partners, as for the purpose of coming to you this time..."

"You—" moved back, and Ma Du said with a pale face. You're here to kill me..."In his opinion, there seemed to be only one possibility that someone from the Special Affairs Bureau would appear in front of him. After all, according to rumors, the Secret Service Bureau did something related to assassination.

Now that these killers have found themselves, and they have insulted them and Yan Shao in front of many people, it is conceivable what their results will be.

"Kill you," the man surnamed Hua laughed. We're not here to kill you, we're just trying to show you something..."

"What do you see?" Madu, who had already been mentally prepared, was slightly stunned, and some couldn't understand what he meant.

Is it just to make such a battle just to let him see things?

"Of course it's to see things, otherwise what else can I do?" The one surnamed Heng said with some mockery, and the one surnamed Hua took out a document from his arms. Then he patted the member of the Special Affairs Bureau surnamed Heng and motioned him to stop the car and park under a street lamp, so that everyone could watch.

Although he really wanted to kill Ma Du, the surnamed Heng also knew the importance of the task, so he didn't say much, but obediently drove the car under a street lamp on the side of the road, and then said to Ma Dudao. "Look closely..."

There was no need for him to remind him, Ma Du had already flipped through the information as quickly as possible, and then looked at it carefully.

It's just that the more he looks at the things above, the more pale Ma Du's face becomes. When it was the last time, Ma Du's face was already drenched in cold sweat.

Noticing this, the sarcasm in the eyes of the two of them intensified, but the egg didn't say anything more, as if he intended to let Ma Du slowly digest the above things himself.

I don't know how long it has been, after reading all the information in his hand, Ma Du said with trembling hands. "It's slander, it's all slander..."

"Whether it is slandering yourself or not, it is very clear. Isn't it, Mr. Ma, you are Tao Yuanzhou's confidant. It should be clear that what is recorded on this is true...", the young man who had already turned around forced his eyes to look at him. "I wonder what the people's expressions will be when they learn that the republican movement you launched is actually supported by the Japanese? Will they continue to support you? I'm really curious..."

By the time he said this, the man had already sneered.

Hearing his words, Ma Du trembled even more.

Because on the information just handed over to him, the connection between Tao Yuanzhou and the Japanese is clearly recorded. Even how many times Tao Yuanzhou and the Japanese met, where they met, and what they talked about each time, it is also clear. This probing ability terrified him.

The reason why he supported Tao Yuanzhou at the beginning was because he felt that he and Tao Yuanzhou were not big names, even if they were secretly planning things that were unfavorable to Yan Shao and the Guoshe government. At least until it is exposed, the national government will never do anything to them.

But who would have thought. The government of the National Society has already obtained such detailed information. Some of them even he didn't know...

Is there anything in this world that they don't know about?

At the same time, Ma Du has no doubt that if this information is released to the public, he, as well as Tao Yuanzhou and other 'republic' gentlemen, will definitely fall off the cliff in an instant, plummeting, and the whole person will become smelly because of this...

Arguably. As long as the above things are revealed, his life will be ruined.

"You guys......... What the hell are you trying to do?" shuddered. Madu asked.

"It's simple......... We hope that Mr. Ma will come forward and testify against the crimes of Tao Yuanzhou and others, that's all..."

Seeing that the horses were all in the trap, a smile suddenly appeared on the faces of the two.

However, hearing the words of the two, Ma Du hesitated. After all, if he did, and not mention anything else, he himself would surely be regarded as a perfidy...

As if seeing the hesitation in Ma Du's heart, the young man surnamed Hua said with a smile. "It's better to be called treacherous than to be pointed at and scolded as a traitor......... At least the former still has some support, but the latter......... Not only will I not be able to turn over in my life, but I am afraid that I will also be implicated in my children and grandchildren, I believe this is definitely not what you want to see, Mr. Ma..."

"By the way, you are just one of the choices of all of us, even without you, we have other people to choose from, I believe that after reading these materials, there will be many people who are willing to cooperate with us and clear the title of traitor, by that time..."

Although the young man surnamed Hua only said such a thing, Ma Du didn't dare to believe it. Because the things listed on that document are so detailed, it even contains some photos of Tao Yuanzhou and Kurokawa when they were together. If these things are announced, some people may suspect that they are framed, but more people may believe Yan Shao.

If you don't want to be considered a traitor, the only way is to cooperate with the national government and get rid of the title of traitor as much as possible. And Tao Yuanzhou's henchmen are obviously not just Ma Du.

In other words, if the Special Affairs Bureau wants to find someone to work with, there will be many candidates for it to choose from, and Ma Du believes that there will definitely not be so many hard-nosed people by then.

And no matter what the final result is, Ma Du deeply understands one thing, that is, this 'republican' movement is over. As long as this movement is involved with the Japanese, no matter how pure the purpose of the movement itself is, it will be regarded as a conspiracy by the Japanese to sabotage China...

Those who originally supported the sport had no choice but to give up in the end, unless they wanted to be associated with the Japanese...

After this time, for at least ten years, the word 'republic' will stink, and no one will be able to threaten Yan Shao with these two words...

"Okay..."After struggling for a long time, Ma Du finally made a decision. I'm willing to cooperate with you, but..."After a moment's hesitation, Ma Du still asked the question in his heart. "Why would you choose me?"

"Because you're one of all, insulting the president and we've got at least one..."

The answer is that sometimes it's as simple as that...

————————————————————

Ministers are not unaware of these changes in China, but their attitudes toward this matter are mixed. On the one hand, judging from the current situation in China, if Yan Shao's rights are really restricted, it is difficult to say whether China can still send an expeditionary force to Europe to participate in the war.

But on the other hand, they all thought that Yan Shao was a great threat, and if they could take this opportunity to get rid of Yan Shao as a threat, it would definitely not be a bad thing for the Entente countries.

It is precisely because of this that the mentality of Zhu Erdian and others has always been very complicated, and in this turmoil, the ministers of various countries rarely did not make any remarks.

It was in this context that the 'republican' movement in China intensified, and there was even a rally of more than 10,000 people in Shanghai. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, it was at this time that Madu, one of the leaders of the 'republican' movement, and two other figures who were also leaders suddenly stood up and openly revealed the fact that the entire movement was actually funded by the Japanese...

Later, the Secret Service Bureau also released a lot of relevant materials, including photos of Tao Yuanzhou's meeting with Kurokawa.

Later, the newspapers controlled by the Kuomintang government, as well as some newspapers that were originally inclined to the Kuomintang government and Yan Shao, also published articles in succession, claiming that this was a despicable act made by the Japanese in order to hinder China's development, and hoped that those Chinese people who originally supported the 'republican' movement would not be deceived by those traitors and the Japanese, and would do things that were bitter to those who loved and hated each other...

In the face of this series of changes, all sectors of society were silent for a while. (To be continued......)
