Forty-seventy-nine, meet with a smile and enmity

Sun Yuanqi replied in a harmonious voice: "I can't talk about any advice, it's just that Sun went to Taiyuan for a meeting today, and heard that Master Zhongshan was here to visit. High-speed update // Please take the liberty of disturbing Haihan! ”

Cao Kun said in a low voice: "Prime Minister, don't laugh, Cao Mou has no way to lead the army, he doesn't know anyone, and he is taken by the youngsters. Now you can deign to see Cao, the general of the defeated army, Cao is still grateful, why bother? ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Division Commander Zhong Shan's defeat this time is because President Yuan Da was bewitched by traitors and made this decision, which caused the people's resentment to boil, the people betrayed their relatives and left, and the army had no fighting spirit, which is really not a crime of war!" Moreover, the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Shanxi Army and your unit are only slightly frictional, like a brotherly wall, which cannot be regarded as a war in the real sense. It's just that now that President Yuan Da has passed away, and the domestic situation is gradually returning to stability, I don't know what Master Zhongshan's plans are? ”

Cao Kun raised his eyes and glanced at Sun Yuanqi, and then lowered his eyelids: "The handsome man has the righteousness of the monarch and the grace of reinvention in me, and suddenly heard that the handsome man has passed away, Cao's liver and gallbladder are broken, and the five are like burning, one has not repaid the kindness of his life, and the other has not yet led the army to the battle, so he can't go to the capital to burn incense and worship in front of the handsome spirit." If Premier Sun can forgive him for a few days and let Cao return to the capital with a wish, Cao will be grateful, even if he puts all the knives and saws in the woks after returning, he will be happy! ”

Sun Yuan nodded and said: "Although what the president did in his later years is quite debatable, but throughout his life, he is still a hero, and Sun also admires him. Now that he has passed away due to illness, heaven and man are sad, and it is reasonable for Master Zhong Shan to want to go back to worship. The so-called 'beauty of a gentleman's adult', since Master Zhong Shan has such a benevolent heart, Sun will naturally not stop him more. ”

Cao Kun got up and bowed deeply to Sun Yuanqi: "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your success!" ”

Sun Yuanqi hurriedly supported Cao Kun: "Senior Commander Zhong Shan doesn't have to be like this!" Tomorrow morning, there will be a direct flight from Taiyuan Airport to Beijing. When the time comes, you can take it, and I believe it should not delay the big event. By the way, what is Master Zhong Shan going to do after worshipping the president? ”

Cao Kun was a little stunned: "Naturally, I went back to Taiyuan to receive the torture, what else can I do?" ”

Sun Yuanqi waved his hand: "As I said just now, the unhappiness between Sun and the president is like a wall of brothers. It's not even a wall, at most it's just a few quarrels and a few words, not a life-and-death enemy who shares the sky. It is said that 'the brothers who have survived the catastrophe are here, and they meet with a smile and enmity', not to mention that now that President Yuan has gone west, why should we care about those trivial battles?

"And the Beiyang elite has been a pillar of the country for nearly two decades. At present, maintaining the situation in North China and Northeast China and resisting the invasion of Japanese Tsarist Russia also depends on the Beiyang monarchs. The divisions and brigades in the northwest are just rising stars, if the two fight each other endlessly, who will profit in the end? It's nothing more than making relatives hurt and enemies happy! Therefore, as long as Master Zhong Shan walks out of this door, he is free. ”

Cao Kun didn't expect Sun Yuanqi to let himself go so lightly, and said after a long time: "Cao has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and now he is defeated like a mountain. In addition, the handsome man passed away suddenly, and his heart was already dead. If Premier Mengsun is extrajudicial and can temporarily save his life, Cao is willing to return to his hometown in Tianjin to plant flowers and vegetables, raise fish and bamboo, and live in this life for the rest of his life, and never ask about the world again! ”

Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "Sun knows that Brother Zhongshan returned to the countryside in order to cultivate obscurity, so as not to be suspicious of Sun. But the current situation in the country is very precarious. If you are not careful, the mountains and rivers will be shattered, the country will be ruined, how can you allow Brother Zhongshan to lie down in the north window like this? How can there be such a feud between you and me? ”

"Oh?" Cao Kun obviously didn't believe Sun Yuanqi's assertion, "After this battle, the Beiyang group has fallen apart, and now the New China Party is dominant, whether it is Li Huangpi (Li Yuanhong) and Duan Zhiquan (Duan Qirui) in the central government, or Feng Huafu (Feng Guozhang) and Cai Songpo (Cai Yi) in the local area, they have no strength to compete with Premier Baixi." As for the foreign powers, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and other countries are all preparing for war because of the tense situation in Europe. There is no time to look eastward; Tsarist Russia was turbulent at home, and at the same time faced pressure from Europe, and could not withdraw for a while; Japan is now struggling to cope with Germany's criticism, and it is still too busy to take care of itself; The United States, on the other hand, has an irreversible relationship with you, and will not cross the ocean to invade our country. I don't know where Prime Minister Baixi came to say that 'the national situation is as dangerous as an egg'? ”

Sun Yuanqi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhong Shan thinks Sun is alarmist? It is true that the situation in the country is as you say. Foreign countries in Europe and the United States are also out of reach of me for the time being, but what about Japan? According to the top-secret information obtained by Sun, it is very likely that the European war will break out in four or five months, and Germany, France, Britain, Russia, Italy, etc. will be involved. At that time, Germany, which was caught in the war in Europe, would have no deterrent effect on Japan, and Japan would be able to launch an attack on German troops stationed in China under the Anglo-Japanese Treaty of Alliance.

"I think Brother Zhongshan will not forget the "Treaty of the Three Peoples" signed by Zhao Zhi'an and the Japanese Minister to China, Enjiro Yamaza, not long ago, right? Although the Japanese side has repeatedly stressed that the signing of the treaty was a personal act of Enjiro Yamaza and did not represent the Japanese government, this is completely impossible to conceal from the discerning people: Without the permission of the Japanese government, Madojiro Yamaza dares to sign such a treaty without authorization? Through this treaty, we can also clearly see Japan's coveting of Shandong. Once the timing is right, will Japan not take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Shandong? ”

Cao Kun defended: "It shouldn't be like this, right? Although Japan covets our Shandong, after all, Shandong is Germany's forbidden territory, and the German army's combat strength is the highest in the world, and it is not something that a small Japanese country dares to provoke. In addition, although Mr. Zhi'an and the Japanese minister signed the "Treaty of the Third Republic of China," the Japanese government has not admitted it at all, and our China has not been approved by the National Assembly, so the treaty is simply invalid and cannot be used as a basis for sending troops! ”

Sun Yuanqi laughed and said, "My brother Zhongshan, when did Japan suddenly become so civilized and so well-behaved? Do you still have to abide by the treaty between the two countries and international legitimacy? Leaving aside the age, at the beginning of the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan suddenly attacked our troop transport ship reinforcing Korea off the coast of Toshima. What's more, the "Treaty of Alliance" signed by Britain and Japan is real! ”

As a traverser, Sun Yuanqi, who has been baptized by anti-Japanese dramas for a long time, knows Japan's despicability well, in addition to the undeclared war on traditional preservation projects (such as the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor), they are also good at directing and acting to provoke wars (such as the 918 Incident, the 128 Incident, the Lugou Bridge Incident), the massacre, bacteriological warfare, chemical warfare, and so on. If you want to say that the country that the Chinese people hate the most, Japan is definitely the first place deservedly!

Cao Kun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what does Prime Minister Baixi need Cao to serve?" ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Brother Zhong Shan will inevitably encounter countless old Beiyang old days when he goes north this time, and Sun would like to ask Brother Zhong Shan to bring three sentences to your colleagues: The first sentence is 'harmony is precious'." Although we have fought a few battles, there is no indissoluble grudge between each other, as long as the brothers in Beiyang keep to themselves and do not take the initiative to provoke incidents, Sun promised that in addition to necessary adjustments, there will be no big changes to Beiyang in the next two years; In the future, even if there is an adjustment, we will try to obtain the consent of the person concerned in advance.

"The second sentence is, 'Brothers are against the wall, and they are insulted from the outside.'" Now the country has gone through the twists and turns of the Gengzi National Revolution, the Emperor and Empress Bintian, the Kuomintang's uprising, the change of dynasty, and the battle of the Southern Expedition, and has long been poor and weak to the extreme, and it cannot withstand any internal friction at all, and the strength of the Japanese army is well known. Once the Japanese army invades, our brothers will work together to resist the enemy, and there is still a few chances of victory; If there is a big war in the front and chaos in the rear, even the Beiyang Naval Division, which is known as the 'No. 1 in Asia', can only be defeated by sinking into the sand, not to mention that our national strength and combat power are far inferior to the Beiyang Naval Division of the year?

"The third sentence is, 'Though thy sword is sharp, my sword is not good.'" It is true that the elite of Beiyang is China's strongest army in the name and has the capital to be proud of the world, but the armies in the northwest of China are not inferior, and this is also the foundation and foundation for our New China Party to be able to smoothly come to this day. Now Sun took the initiative to ask for cooperation with Beiyang, not to bend his knees and sue for peace due to lack of troops, but to preserve the vitality of the country and preserve the strength for the war. If our army fights a fierce battle on the front line, and someone dares to make trouble in the rear or even fund the enemy or surrender to the enemy, Sun will never hide the filth and tolerate the traitor.

"Brother Zhong Shan is his own person, I'm not bothered to be honest, maybe the various units under Sun Mou's command are still a little difficult to deal with the Japanese army, but it is definitely not a problem to deal with several divisions of the Beiyang Army, and the battle in Zhangjiakou not long ago is a small test! Now that I am talking about the ugly things in front of me, when the time comes, if someone really does not open their eyes and dares to forget their ancestors and eat inside and out, don't blame Sun for being unpredictable! ”

In the end, Sun Yuanqi was already full of voice, and even Cao Kun was shaken by his heart.

After a long time, Cao Kun asked: "Cao has the courage to ask, what does the Prime Minister mean by 'necessary adjustment'?" If we don't tell each other honestly, we will inevitably feel apprehensive in Beiyang. ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "It's okay, then Sun Mou doesn't say secret words, what Sun wants to adjust are officials at all levels in Shandong under Zhou Zihui (Zhou Ziqi), the governor of Shandong, as well as officials from all over the country along the line from Shandong to Shanxi and Shaanxi. As for Zhou Zixuan, he can choose between the posts of governor of Shaanxi and chief of the cabinet; Other officials at all levels, Sun, will also make arrangements accordingly. ”

Seeing that Cao Kun wanted to speak, Sun Yuanqi added: "As for why this adjustment is made, it is because Sun is preparing to mobilize a large army to fight the Japanese army in Shandong, and before that, he naturally has to clean up the battlefield and ensure the safety of the back road." At that time, Brother Zhong Shan will understand that all the departments under Sun's command will definitely be at the forefront of the battlefield; I also want Beiyang Pao Ze to see that the troops under my Sun Yuanqi are by no means an insider in the civil war and an outsider in the foreign war! It's not a soft egg who only cares about his own happiness and doesn't care about the life or death of the country! (To be continued.)
