"Let Kaoru Otsuki come to the company to help?"

"yes..."Yan Shao smiled. It also saves her boredom. ”

In fact, Kaoru Otsuki had helped a little in the past, but later because of Fumiko's schooling, he was free again.

Now that Elaline needs someone to trust, in Yan Shao's opinion, Kaoru Otsuki is a choice.

"That's it—" Elaline looked down and thought about it, and thought it was a little good.

First, she has a good relationship with Kaoru Otsuki, so Kaoru Otsuki is also a more trustworthy person for her. Then there's her identity, she's a foreigner like Elanon. This means that she, like Elano, is rootless duckweed.

The reason why Eleno and Caterina can occupy today's high positions is entirely because they are Yan Shao's lovers, girlfriends, and fiancées. Otherwise, as foreigners, they would not have the status they have now.

As for Kaoru Otsuki, as a foreigner, Yan Shao also didn't need to worry about what tricks she played—————— although Elano didn't think she would do it.

"It's a good note, so I'll ask her in a moment if she's willing," Elaline nodded.

Anyway, in her opinion, Kaoru Otsuki really needs a job.

Although with her and Yan Shao's net worth, they don't care at all that they have two guests in their house or anything, but after all, they can't really live here with Yan Shao for a lifetime, and Fumiko will grow up one day, if they don't have some survival skills and no savings at that time. After all, there is some trouble.

Naturally, Yan Shao could give them a sum of money, 100,000 or 1 million were very random numbers. But Eleanor believes that Kaoru Otsuki prefers to earn money through her own labor...

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you..."Seeing that Elinor agreed with his opinion, Yan Shao smiled, and it was naturally impossible to tell Eleno what he thought in his heart.

After picking up the juice that the maid had just put aside, and pouring a glass for Elanon, Yan Shao also poured himself a glass.

Maybe it's because of the relationship that I just took out of the refrigerator and was poured into the cup. There's even a little bit of ice residue in the juice.

Picking up his cup, Yan Shao handed the juice to his lips.

But just as he was about to drink, Caterina, wearing a white shirt and trousers, strode in from outside with long red hair.

Although many of the servants on the estate had been serving them for many years. But some of the servants still cringed when they saw the slender scar on the left side of Caterina's face.

It should be said that Katerina's expression was relatively cold in the past, and with this scar, it is even more fierce. However, in Yan Shao's eyes, these have a strange sense of beauty—————— probably because his head was broken when he crossed over.

Nature. Maybe it's because he loved this kind of wild beauty in the first place.

"Give. I just got the information..."

Walking to the table, Caterina tossed a piece of information full of photos to Yan Shao, and then poured herself a glass of juice.

It's just that compared to her fierce appearance and character, her movements are very elegant, as if she had received a good aristocratic education, which is also one of the things that makes Yan Shao very strange.

In fact, it can be seen from the fact that she could be a first-class passenger at the beginning, coupled with a relatively wealthy net worth, her background is not ordinary. It's just that every time Yan Shao wants to know about her life experience. She will change the topic in various ways, and the Special Affairs Bureau is under her control. For almost 10 years, Yan Shao only knew her name...

However, this curiosity aside, Yan Shao is now more concerned about the photos on the table.

"Is that all..."Taking out the photo from the document, Yan Shao looked at the contents of the photo while drinking juice.

The picture is simply a large group of soldiers training there.

At least judging by the photographs, the training of these soldiers was rigorous. It's just that because of the long shooting distance and the relatively poor performance of cameras in this era, that's all Yan Shao can see.

"Didn't I give you a piece of information some time ago, and I got this after paying a certain price..."

Some time ago, Caterina got a piece of information, that is, the reason why the Japanese were frequently in and out of Guangdong and Fujian. The reason for this was that the Japanese were training troops for the Kuomintang.

In addition to this, there is a lot of weapon support.

It is obvious that the Japanese are planning to deepen their strength at a time when the Beiyang and the Kuomintang are inextricably linked, and to jump out and profit when both sides are defeated.

To be honest, this plan is really good.

After all, some time ago, Beiyang and the National Socialist Party were indeed inseparable, and although the losses on the Beiyang side were very large, the losses on the Kuomintang side were definitely not small. If we really continue to fight for a year and a half according to the original plan, as long as the Kuomintang troops in Guangdong and other places can reach the ordinary level of the Beiyang Army, they will become some troubles in the future.

After all, if he really fought for so long, even if Yan Shao could win the fight, the combat effectiveness of the troops would be seriously reduced.

Who would have thought that a white wolf on the Henan side would suddenly emerge, giving Yan Shao's side a great advantage. The situation that had been evenly matched was suddenly broken...

But even so, Yan Shao still attached importance to the situation in Guangdong, so he specially asked Katerina to send someone to get some information back.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, Yan Shao always wanted to know what level the Kuomintang troops had reached after being trained by the Japanese.

"Luckily, we got in touch with the people we had bought before, so we only bought these photos at a relatively low price..."Sitting next to Elanon, Caterina touched her with a cup a little mischievously, drank it directly, and then poured herself another glass in front of Yan Shao.

As long as the quantity of money comes up, there are very few people in this world who can refuse. This is true of both the Kuomintang, the Beiyang and the Kuomintang. It's just that the salary on the side of the National Socialist Party is very high, and the Special Affairs Bureau is relatively powerful, so the chance of being bought is much smaller.

So after paying some price. Katerina's people quickly got the pictures.

"What do you think of it?"

Just as the military attache of an embassy has the responsibility of evaluating the military, the Special Affairs Bureau naturally has a similar function. So after looking at the photo, Yan Shao looked up at Katarina.

"It's okay—" Katarina's expression looked relaxed. The meaning of the bureau is that if they are given another year and a half, I am afraid that it will really become a big problem for henchmen, but ...... Will you? ”

The last three words, Caterina spoke in Spanish.

And Yan Shao's answer is also in Spanish...

"Of course not..."

Yan Shao already knew Chinese and English (the spoken language was terrible. After having two foreign fiancées, he naturally learned Spanish and French.

By the way. Yan Shao is now planning to learn Japanese.

In this way, Yan Shao can also be said to be proficient in the four Chinese, right?

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Ilenor and Caterina both laughed, and only after half a ring did Eleno speak. "I'm afraid the Japanese didn't expect this to happen. That's why they chose to fund the Kuomintang. Now, I'm afraid they're too late to regret it..."

Things did turn out as Ileno expected, and the Japanese now really regret it.

————————————————————

In the garrison of the Cantonese army in Guangdong, Murakami was sitting on a chair looking at the information he had just received.

At this time, outside the window, some young Cantonese soldiers were practicing with their hearts.

The shouts of training reached Murakami's ears, and he felt a wave of chagrin.

"How can this be...", slapping the information on the table, Murakami covered his head with his hand.

Seeing Murakami's appearance, even though there were many officers from Japan around him at this time. But no one dared to speak.

Although Murakami is only in his 30s, he is also a high-level member of the Black Dragon Society after all. The status is much higher than theirs, and they naturally dare not be presumptuous.

At the same time, after being annoyed for a while, Murakami finally raised his head and looked at the few people around him.

"With the current strength of the Guangdong Army, how many people do you need to compete with the strength of a division of the National Social Army?"

It's a very simple and practical question.

However, after hearing Murakami's words, the officers glanced at each other, and after a long while, one of them hesitated to speak. "Now, I'm afraid it will take at least 40,000 or 50,000 people, and the equipment for domestic aid must be delivered as soon as possible, and if the existing equipment is used, 70,000 or 80,000 people may not be the opponent of the National Socialist Army..."

It seemed that the previous officer had gone too far, and another officer added later. "But as long as we are given a year, and the domestic equipment can be delivered earlier, 20,000 people should be fine..."

The officers next to him all nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with the words of the two of them.

It's just that after hearing their words, Murakami Sage said with a wry smile. "In a year, we don't even have three months..."

Speaking of this, Murakami once again looked at the information on the table and deeply understood the profound meaning of the Chinese saying 'planning is in people, and success is in heaven'.

Originally, according to the plan of the Black Dragon Society, it was to provoke the scuffle between the Kuomintang Army and the Beiyang and the Kuomintang by assassination, so that even if the Kuomintang Army left, he had to die with hatred in the end.

Who would have thought that Li Liejun would be so useless, and he would lose Jiangxi without even holding out for a month. And at that time, Beiyang and the Kuomintang did not even mobilize their troops well.

Well, this can be regarded as the Black Dragon Society's misassessment of Li Liejun and Yan Shao's strength, so it is barely counted.

But no matter how you say it, Beiyang and the Kuomintang still have a lot of strength after all.

And the later results are not necessarily worse than the previous one for the Black Dragon Society.

Because judging from the battle situation at the junction of the three provinces, it may be difficult for the two sides to distinguish the winner or loser. Even if the winner is decided, both sides, whether it is the elite accumulated in Beiyang for many years, or the only capable army on the side of the Kuomintang Socialist Party, will be exhausted, and they can take this opportunity to support the Kuomintang to come out and defeat the first two in one fell swoop, and then unify China.

Similarly, as the closest friend and supporter of the Kuomintang. Japanese people can also take advantage of this opportunity.

And for the Japanese, Sun Yat-sen is obviously much easier to deal with than Yuan Shikai and Yan Shao.

What's more, the Kuomintang may not be able to unify China, if the three sides are exhausted. Good news for the Japanese as well.

Who would have thought...

Just when Beiyang and the Kuomintang were fighting inextricably, a white wolf appeared in Henan, completely disrupting the plans of the Japanese.

Now the battle between Yan Shao and Yuan Shikai is afraid that it will only take three months to determine the winner. When this battle was over, Yan Shao then came back to pick up the real culprit...... The Kuomintang has...

And with the defeat of the Kuomintang, all the chips that Japan threw on the Kuomintang and Beiyang some time ago will also be lost.

For the Japanese. There's really no worse news.

"Is there really no way?"

Hearing Murakami's description of the current situation, the army officers who came from Japan frowned.

At this time, the heads of the Japanese Army were not only left with paste, and there were still some brains—————— although there were not many of them.

And in order for the plan to be successful. The Black Dragon Society also selected some people with a decent attitude, after all, they didn't want the people they sent to be too bastards and make the Black Dragon Society break with the Kuomintang.

"What else can I do?" said Murakami with a wry smile. Unless Yan Shao died suddenly, or there was a mess in Anhui. Otherwise, there is little room for turnaround. ”

Hear Murakami say this. The officers' eyes lit up. "In that case, then let's just send someone..."

Before he could finish speaking, Murakami had already shook his head. "It's impossible, with the lesson of last time, now Yan Shao will have a large number of followers every time he goes out, and the protection is very tight, and there is almost no room to start, let alone start. Not even the possibility of getting closer. And in Anhui, there was chaos or something, and now Anhui is probably the most stable region in China. Especially after the extermination of the rebellious gentry a year ago, the local people have almost no dissatisfaction with the military government, and even if we send people there, it will be useless..."

When he said this, Murakami was helpless.

In fact, Henan was choked by Zhang Zhenfang, and the Black Dragon Society also knew about it.

As for the white wolf, the Black Dragon Society doesn't know the way, after all, they are not all cats and dogs. It's just that at this time, there is almost no place in China that is not chaotic, so they don't pay much attention to this matter.

After all, there is chaos everywhere in China, so how can it be that Henan is the most chaotic.

Who would have thought that the most embarrassing queen would make such a big mess in Henan.

Now because of this mess, in order to avoid his back road being cut off, Feng Guozhang has begun to lead the army to evacuate towards Shandong, Henan and part of Shandong are afraid that they will be abandoned, and Yan Shao can also point Bingfeng directly at Zhili, or even Beijing...

For now, the end is decided...

————————————————————

At the junction of the three provinces, after being restored with Yuan Shikai's consent, Feng Guozhang also began to prepare.

Soon, two mixed brigades, which had been transferred from the rear not long ago, took over the defense area of the front line under the orders of Feng Guozhang. Their next task was to break off the rear and be responsible for stopping the pursuit of the Nationalist Army, so that Feng Guozhang and the other troops could run as far as possible.

"I don't need you to hold out until we withdraw to Hebei, as long as you can hold out for two days, two days will do..."

Standing in front of the two brigade commanders, Feng Guozhang patted the shoulders of the two people and said.

Perhaps because of the difficult relationship of the war, Feng Guozhang's face was full of haggardness.

He also knows very well that his request is really unreasonable. That's right, the two mixed brigades of almost 8,000 people are indeed not a small number, but there are 60,000 or 70,000 people in front of them. It is equivalent to seven or eight times the size of these two mixed brigades, how can they hold it.

However, looking at Feng Guozhang's appearance, the two people still nodded.

"Rest assured, Commander, we will do our best..."

Obviously, they also knew that it was too hopeless to hold their positions or something, so they just said that they would do their best, and what Feng Guozhang needed most was their current sentence...

Hearing this, Feng Guozhang patted them on the shoulder heavily and didn't say anything more.

Soon, two mixed brigades, which had long been prepared, began to take over the original troops and settle into the already tattered defensive line. The rest of the troops began to slowly withdraw in the direction of Shandong, but at this time there was a problem to be solved, that is, a large number of wounded.

After fighting for such a long time, the number of wounded in Beiyang is definitely not small.

It's just that they don't have the conditions for the opposite side of the National Socialist Army, and basically the lightly wounded on the side of the National Social Army are treated on the spot, and after they are cured, they will return to the front line. For the seriously injured, after the initial treatment, they usually take a special train back to Anqing, where they receive better treatment.

In other words, there were basically no wounded who could not move in the rear of the National Socialist Army, and there were only some soldiers who were slightly injured but could still fight.

However, on the Beiyang side, the minor and serious injuries were basically left behind, and the medical resources were also very lacking, so the soldiers' injuries healed very slowly...

This would naturally be nothing if it was left at another time, but now that Feng Guozhang is about to retreat, he can't take these wounded people to retreat together, in that case, these wounded people will definitely drag them back.

So after gritting his teeth again, Feng Guozhang made a decision to leave all the wounded behind and withdraw to Shandong with only the soldiers who could still move...

Such a decision naturally caused an uproar, but after the Jinghan Railway was blown up, Feng Guozhang could only do so. (To be continued......)
