The more he came to this juncture of a major historical event, the more Cheng Nuo, who was alone, felt like he was in turmoil.

"No, I have to take care of things, if I go on like a headless fly, I won't solve any real problems."

Taking straw paper and pencils, Cheng Nuo spread them out on his desk, made a huge fishbone diagram directly according to the historical trend, and marked what was about to happen at various time nodes.

The more important the matter, the more important it is.

But looking at it, Cheng Nuo seemed to have discovered something remarkable from these messes, and the discovery of this matter made him feel like a fish in his throat.

"1914, 1915, 1916...... In 1924, hey, hundreds of large and small wars broke out in the country within a few years, either in the war or on the way to war, one moment the president became the emperor, the other time the emperor was abolished and the president was changed, and the 'No. 1 person' had to be replaced every year on average for ten years.

Carefully calculated, every year, there are three cabinet presidents who step down and come to power, it's just that you sing and I appear, which dynasty and which generation is an extremely rare thing, and the small African countries of later generations will also be out of reach, such a turbulent public, it is really difficult to develop! ”

Seeing Cheng Nuo here, a trace of the urge to break the jar directly flashed in his mind, and it was too difficult to develop in this environment.

What's more, these wars/lords are not simple reckless people, they all have more or less support from Western countries or Oriental island countries behind them, once Cheng Nuo develops a certain industry and affects their own interests in China, whether something bad will happen, even Cheng Nuo himself does not know whether something bad will happen.

For example, Japan, directly made the card: "The whole of China, the chaos is immediate, and it is up to interfere and sort it out." ”

Even further, Napoleon said: "China is a sleeping lion, and when he wakes up, the whole world trembles, so never let him wake up!" ”

Just as Cheng Nuo was still thinking hard about how to dismantle the encirclement and suppression of the great powers in the future, a gust of wind suddenly blew from outside, blowing the things on the table to the ground.

The map puzzle that had been put together before hanging on the wall was also broken to the ground and became fragmented.

It just so happened that when Cheng Nuo went to pick up these parts, a flash of lightning suddenly crossed his mind, and the problems he had worried about before seemed to have a way out, and his thoughts instantly rushed to all parts of his body like a tide, and he couldn't help but feel a thrill.

"Do it...... It doesn't seem like it's impossible. ”

Just do it, for fear that this inspiration would disappear, Cheng Nuo simply put aside the work at hand for the time being, crossed the threshold and trotted to the door of Jiang Jiang Zuo's dormitory, seeing that the lights were still on inside, his heart was suddenly relieved.

"Bang Bang Bang~"

"Who? What are you doing here without sleeping on such a cold night?! Jiang Jiang Zuo's embarrassed voice came from inside the house.

"Me, haven't slept yet, have you? Open the door, I have something important to discuss with you. Knowing that it was really rude to disturb the other party so late, Cheng Nuo's tone was as polite as possible.

What he didn't expect was that when Jiang Jiang Zuo heard the voice of the person coming and knew who was standing at the door, he directly pulled the lamp, saying that he had already taken off/warmed his clothes and was about to sleep, and he would talk about it tomorrow.

Although he knew that the other party was joking, it was Cheng Nuo who was at the loss, and in the end, it took a lot of effort to finally open the door.

"Let's talk about it first, I'm not looking at the two catties of old white, but thinking about our friendship with classmates for many years, if I were an outsider, I would have thrown him two miles away, that is, you Cheng Zhiyuan." Jiang Jiang Zuo deliberately kept a straight face, as if he had suffered a big loss.

"Yes, yes, it's really not appropriate to disturb you so late." Cheng Nuo nodded while looking around, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the bed, so he began to quietly move over there.

Jiang Zuo here still didn't know it, carrying a kettle and scalding the cup: "But then again, there must be something wrong with you looking for me so late, let's talk about it quickly." ”

"There is indeed something I want to discuss with you......" Seeing that he had already moved to the side of the bed, Cheng Nuo directly touched the inner part of the edge of the quilt without hurrying to cover his ears and steal the bell.

Good guy, it's really cold to start, just blackmailing him.

Jiang Jiang Zuo is not a fool, seeing that his friend was already groping by the bedside, and he didn't know where the matter was revealed, he hurriedly handed over the cup of poured water.

"Come on, come on, hurry up and drink some hot tea to warm up at night, if you have a cold, it's not worth it, I just thought about it, just because of this matter, I want you to have two bottles of Lao Baigan, I really don't want to go, I think this matter will be revealed."

Cheng Nuo didn't know where the other party's careful thoughts, he obviously wanted to block his mouth with hot tea, and said deliberately as soon as his voice changed: "That's not possible, what I promised you must be done, I can't even pass my name without believing it, but on the day of drinking, I have to say okay, let's not get drunk and don't return." ”

Seeing that he was lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, Jiang Jiang Zuo was crying bitterly in his heart, he knew that it was better to let go of this old enemy, who could compare with him when he drank, that guy was like drinking water, and he could perform a backflip when he was finished, which could not be measured by ordinary people.

"Okay, you're still really weird, you don't like to drink much, but the amount of alcohol is almost the same as the amount of water, it's really incredible, I can't do it alone, when the time comes, I have to pull Lao Guo, Lao Cheng, Lao Wu and a few of them, and play a wheel war with you." After thinking about it, Jiang Jiangzuo still responded.

Cheng Nuo smiled and said: "That's okay, don't cheat at that time, but before drinking, we still have an important matter, we have to discuss with everyone, and I will talk to you tonight." ”

When it came to business, Jiang Jiang Zuo immediately put away his smile: "Is it about the domestic affairs after the European war?" ”

Cheng Nuo replied: "Yes, it is after the war. ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo licked his lips and suddenly realized: "I'll just say, if you can think about foreign affairs after the European War, naturally you won't ignore our base camp, I originally wanted to mention this at the meeting before, but I thought that you might have other arrangements, so I didn't say it directly." ”

Holding the teacup in his hand, Cheng Nuo sat back on the chair: "Actually, I was thinking about this before the European war was over, but there were more things at that time, and I didn't figure out anything at the time, but now it's different, the European war is over, and next month is the new year, we must take action." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo also followed to the coffee table and asked, "So you came up with a solution tonight?" ”

Cheng Nuo nodded: "If there is no other better way, what I think of tonight should be the optimal solution." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo asked, "Then what do you think of?" ”

Cheng Nuo didn't rush to uncover this puzzle directly, but took out all the pockets on his body, took out all the map fragments inside, and put them on the coffee table to pile them up.

This series of operations made Jiang Jiang Zuo confused, and he was puzzled: "What are you doing?" Don't tell me the answer is in these toddler toys. ”

Cheng Nuo not only did not deny it, but admitted with a mouthful of words: "Hey, I really made you right, these gadgets are the reason why I came to you." ”

Instead of continuing to sell Guanzi, Cheng Nuo selected a part of the provincial map, picked it out and put it on the table separately: "Lifu, have you noticed that behind these famous and small wars/lords, there are more or less shadows of foreigners. ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo frowned, staring at these provinces tightly, being touched by such a little, as if he had really groped for something: "It seems to be ...... It's really like this, isn't the current Duan Qirui behind the Japanese? ”

Picking up the map fragment on the table, Cheng Nuo said: "There is a shadow of Japan behind him, but he is not the only one Duan Qirui, such as Zhang Dongbei, who has gradually gained momentum, all have more or less Japanese support.

As for the British and American side, there is Yuan Xiangcheng in the front, and Cao Kun, Wu Pei, Fu and others in the future, and they are also secretly supporting their own forces, the so-called 'I will come to power when you are down, and the city will change the king's flag', there are basically these people behind the scenes......"

In a few words, Cheng Nuo basically told all the warlords of the Beiyang government and the forces behind them, so that Jiang Jiang Zuo had a more intuitive understanding.

Assembling the map fragments in his hand step by step, Jiang Jiang Zuo could not hide the surprise on his face: "In this way, these people have the shadow of the great powers behind them, and almost no one is spared, and the places under their respective control are just within the control of these powers." ”

Holding the teacup with both hands, Cheng Nuo took a sip of hot tea: "I think that when Yuan Datou was the emperor, none of the foreign envoys at that time expressed their disapproval of it, and then to Zhang Xun's restoration, it was also Germany that continuously provided him with arms.

Whenever there is turmoil, there are basically these guys behind the trouble, in order to make our country more chaotic, so that they can grab more benefits from it. ”

Although there are shadows of the great powers behind the various warlords, there are still great differences between the great powers and the great powers, the starting points and the points of interests.

During the First World War, the balance of power between the major powers in China was gradually broken by Japan, especially after the death of Yuan Datou, these powers lost their common spokesperson for the invasion of us.

At this time, there was no "strongman" to succeed, and it was obvious that he advocated "reunification by force" in the country, and he held great power, so it could only be attributed to the pro-Japanese Anhui warlords.

This was a situation that Japan wanted, and the other powers were unwilling to accept it.

Therefore, for the sake of their own interests and spheres of influence in China, the great powers seek their own spokesmen, and use the spokesmen they have cultivated to guard their spheres of influence or achieve the goals they want to achieve but cannot achieve for the time being.

In promoting the division and reorganization of the Beiyang warlords, Japanese imperialism acted first and went the farthest. When Britain, the United States, France, and Germany unanimously defended Yuan Datou as a "strongman" and supported him as emperor, Japan went the opposite way and pursued a policy of disrupting Yuan Datou.

"These two groups of people are colluding with each other more closely than ever before, and you say that we are developing national industry, are we endangering the interests of the great powers? When they are dissatisfied enough, they secretly instruct their 'agents' to cause trouble, and then it will be difficult for us to end up. Looking at the map on the table, Cheng Nuo said slowly.

Jiang Jiang Zuo thought thoughtfully: "The tide rises and falls, and it rises and falls quickly, but it's a pity that in the end, it's us ordinary people who suffer." ”

Cheng Nuo said solemnly: "For these big guys, we will definitely not be able to directly hit the hard, no matter how many fists are against hot weapons, but everything is not so absolute, we can consider breaking it into pieces." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo asked, "How to break it into parts?" Didn't we always lead the factories and laboratories to the world in the name of the Academy of Sciences? ”

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "At this time, at that time, what I thought before was still a little simple, I thought that the power of combining the academic and business circles could discourage some forces, but in the face of absolute power, it was too small a family idea, people didn't take us seriously at all, and the public wouldn't make decisions for us." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo sighed, originally wanted to take a sip of tea slowly, but ignored the water in the cup that had just been poured, and almost burned his tongue: "Ho ho~ It's really going to be a dead man." ”

Cheng Nuo hurriedly came over to check the details, and after seeing that the other party was fine, he put his mind at ease: "The road behind must be more careful, only when our Academy of Sciences dives underwater as a whole and let the world forget it, this is not easy to be directly targeted, we can secretly plan it, the previous goal is too big." ”

Jiang Jiang Zuo echoed: "Think about it carefully, it's true, if the enemy doesn't care about anything, and directly attacks our academy of sciences with precision, not to mention anything else, just a vicious person comes to attack, it is a loss that we can't afford." ”

Thinking about what happened in Shanghai before, Cheng Nuo didn't think that he would be much safer in Beijing, and he would have to expand the size of the school guard team later.

But there are more important things at the moment, and the school guard still has to put it aside for the time being.

"In addition to our Academy of Sciences, we need to keep a low profile, and our factories also need to be divided, ideally because we have our factories or companies everywhere, but we don't let the outside world know about the relationships within these institutions, and even if a factory is attacked, the damage is acceptable."

After thinking about it, Cheng Nuo selected a few provinces and introduced the key areas.

Jiang Jiang Zuo said curiously: "Then what industries are you going to start with now?" ”

Cheng Nuo said slowly: "In addition to the ones we already have, you can also try textiles, flour and foreign tobacco!" ”

Among them, the textile industry and the flour industry are needless to say, although the Academy of Sciences does not have direct contact, but basically have some relationship.

In the textile industry, there is Zhang Jian's Dasheng Yarn Factory, and in the flour industry, there is the Shanghai Flour Flour Union, and the relationship between them is very harmonious.

"But what's going on with this foreign smoke, and does it have any direct relationship with the previous two?"

"Of course, these three industries are the fastest growing industries now and in the future."
