Volume Five The History of the Heavy Tree Chapter 708: The power of coveting the sky is not easy to
This greed for heaven is too great, and no one can take away this achievement from his own hands. In fact, Wang Maoru himself did not realize that his thoughts and behaviors had gradually changed from a simple patriot thought to a cunning politician. If he had recovered the Middle East Railway and went to Europe to participate in the war a few years ago, he still had the will to die for the country even if he died, now he is more considering his personal political interests, how to increase his personal interests while fighting for national interests. But in fact, simple patriots are often the easiest to become traitors. The May Fourth Youth who burned Zhaojialou in history eventually became a lackey for the Japanese, and the scolded Beiyang officials would rather starve to death than be Japanese officials.
Wang Maoru is very eager to announce the recovery of lost land, but even if the powerful hegemony in later generations, such as the United States, has actually controlled the entire Mexican Republic, they dare not openly announce the occupation of a sovereign state. If it is openly announced, what consequences will be achieved? After two days and two nights of research by think tanks, everyone still cannot find a perfect result.
Whether to announce or not is a problem. The open regaining of territory is a kind of invasion and a provocation to the world He Ping unless it has strong strength. In the end of the European War, China must be tough if it wants to rise, but if it is tough, it will inevitably violate the rules set by the great powers.
China is in a dilemma.
The great powers did not allow China to rise easily, even the reunification of China has attracted the attention of the world's powers. However, they all fell into the post-war economic crisis and workers' movement at this time, especially Japan and the United States. Domestic workers' armed forces even fought with government troops and started guerrilla warfare. Japan's quarrels caused Japan's economy to regress for two years. In the late European War, the economic policies of European and American countries and the British-Japanese conflict, the white people's economic liquidation of the Japanese caused Japan's economy to fall sharply, and even returned to the level before the European War.
But if the territory is announced, what will be explained to the other great powers that occupied China's territory and occupied the concession during the Boxer Rebellion? Even if China said it was just a simple action against Russia, can other countries believe it? A huge ancient country's recovery behavior with 440 million citizens will make this ancient country rebuild its mentality? From another perspective, China, as a great power, will not allow a country with its own table tennis team to rise, and will try every means to defeat this country.
After handling several official duties, Wang Maoru asked someone to deal with the unimportant deal with Jiang Fangzhen, because at this time, announcing the recovery of territory is more important than any small matter in the army. Even the Director of the Military Law Officer Pu Ding sent an application to replace the commander of the Phoenix Army. Wang Maoru just looked at the list. The former Chief of Military Affairs Zhang Xueliang was ill and recuperated. The new Chief of Military Affairs was Tao Zhiyong, who was from the Northeast Army and Mainland Department, approved a "accurate" return to Pu Ding. Wang Maoru then convened a meeting of staff and think tanks to study the most important announcement of the recovery of territory for him.
The meeting room of the Ministry of Defense Command was filled with smoke. Wang Maoru asked three to four young staff members to form eight groups, each representing a country, and the other members of the General Staff represented China. When China announced its regaining of territory, how did other world powers react and respond? The young people's thinking was extremely active, and the eight groups of young people quickly got into the role. They started a verbal confrontation with the elderly in the staff, such as Jiang Fangzhen and Yong Xingbao, and used various methods to combat China's rise.
At the end of the talk, Dai Zhangxun, the Director of the Operations Department, was so angry that he was furious that he wanted to hit someone. Wang Maoru quickly persuaded him: "Our young people are active in their minds, but if we think about our real opponents being a hundred times more cunning than them, and even they can't fight, why are you talking about rising?"
Dai Zhangxun quickly apologized to these staff members. Several of them aroused Wang Maoru's ideas, and many of them were officers selected by local troops to enter the staff headquarters for training. Among them, He Yingqin, a staff officer from the Guizhou Army, Bai Chongxi, a young staff officer from the Guangxi Army, Sun Lianzhong, a direct family, Ye Xun, a Democratic Party, and Wu Sanshi, a young staff member from Yakeshi Army Non-commissioned College, Long Yinglai, Yuan Lingshan, Zou Huaqin, Zhang Zilong and others. Wang Maoru was overjoyed when he learned that He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi were also among them. Even though these two people were criticized, their abilities were indeed recognized by all walks of life.
However, Wang Maoru's joy in discovering talents was soon troubled by the problem of being unable to consolidate the recovered territory. The occupied land cannot be recognized. In the future, the world's great powers will definitely use this as an excuse to impose sanctions and crackdowns on China. How to ensure that it can be occupied and defended is the problem.
Tsarist Russia, who had always been considered in his hands, chose another self-damaging method that hurts the enemy by one thousand and one thousand, giving Wang Maoru a heavy right hook. Even though he was as smart as Wang Maoru, he could not find a way to satisfy him for a while. He almost fainted from a headache.
Finally, Wang Maoru said to Jiang Fangzhen and others: "Don't think about it for now, just take a day off like this. I know that everyone is very tired these two days, so I have to go home to rest." After the generals said goodbye, Wang Maoru returned home by car and slept beautifully. When he woke up, he saw a pretty girl lying on the head of his bed and staring at him with wide eyes, which scared her.
"Xiao Wu, why are you here?" Wang Maoru said, touching his face, it was oily. It seemed that he had been sleeping for a long time, and he started to laugh at himself: "I'm old and I'm sleeping like this, my face is greasy. Li Ziqi, go and get a basin of water, I'll wash my face."
The guard Li Ziqi wanted to get a wash water when Zhu Meijun quickly rushed over and said, "I'll come, you go there." After saying that, he threw a towel into the basin, blaming him for saying that the temperature of the water was too high, so he handed it to Wang Maoru, and said softly and obediently and gentlely: "Brother-in-law, wipe your face." Li Ziqi widened his eyes and couldn't believe that this little grandma was so gentle today. Did she take the wrong medicine? She quickly stepped aside and lowered her head to hold the wash basin.
Wang Maoru took the towel, wiped his face briefly, then stared at Zhu Meijun, and said, "Tell me, Xiaowu, what are your conspiracy? Tell me quickly, don't circle with me."
Zhu Meijun smiled and said, "I can't hide it from you, brother-in-law."
"Little Devil." Wang Maoru knocked on her head and said.
Zhu Meijun then said, "Do you know that something big happened in the Gongzi Circle in Beijing these days?"
"Young Master Circle?" Wang Maoru said that he had heard this circle for the first time, "What is it? Who are they?"
"You don't know about the young master circle?" Zhu Meijun curled his lips, "Brother-in-law, how did you catch up with my sister? How did you catch up with Miss Tang?"
"What does this have to do with them?" Wang Maoru said with a funny look.
Zhu Meijun was about to talk about the excitement of the bed, but he didn't expect that the face washing plate was slapped on the stool beside the bed. The face washing plate was knocked to the ground by her. Li Ziqi hurriedly ran in and saw Zhu Meijun looking at his "masterpiece" with a red face and laughed: "This...that...that...that mistake is purely a mistake." Li Ziqi quickly packed up and walked out. When he met Feng Yinbin at the door, he saluted: "Hello adjutant."
Feng Yinbin pointed inside and asked, "Who is here?"
"Miss Zhu Wu." Li Ziqi said to the truth.
Feng Yinbin nodded, stood aside and smoked, looked at Xiushuai's room, and said nothing.
In the room, Zhu Meijun suddenly remembered that his hand had just hit the washboard hard. It was a thick copper washbasin. Then she remembered the pain. She hurriedly covered her hand and howled. Wang Maoru smiled bitterly and said, "Is it that painful? And it's still a reversal? As for this exaggeration?"
"The relationship is good, but it's not that it hurts you, so you naturally don't feel the pain." Zhu Meijun complained with tears in his eyes.
"Okay okay, keep talking, I have limited time, I'm going to the Army Department later." Wang Maoru reminded her.
Zhu Meijun quickly sat down and said, "As the name suggests, the so-called circle of young masters is the circle formed by the young masters who are officials in Beijing. Now the most famous ones in the circle of young masters are Meng Enyuan's eldest son Meng Qingchang and his second son Meng Qinghu. When it comes to Meng Qinghu, everyone calls him a second fool behind his back. It is said that he got sick when he was a child, and his mind is not very good when he grows up. He is a little stupid. Meng Qingchang is shrewd and has a good style. The top brands in the eight major hutongs in Beijing praise Meng's goodness."
Wang Maoru nodded and smiled, "These two are not good, and Meng Enyuan has never expected them. Everything about Meng Enyuan depends on his two nephews Gao Shibin and Gao Fengcheng."
Zhu Meijun said: "I am not familiar with these two people. By the way, in addition to the people from the Lao Meng family, there is another person in this circle of young masters. A new young master has been praised by everyone as soon as he arrives in Beijing, which makes the Meng brothers very dissatisfied."
"Who?"
"Sun Ke, Sun Liwen's son." Zhu Meijun said, "This little Guangdong is not simple. He has also been the mayor of Guangzhou. Of course, everyone knows that he must be the mayor because of me. Now he has come to Beijing to help his father promote it. The fathers of these two gangs are competing, and the two gangs are also comparing in the circle of young masters. It's really exciting."
Wang Maoru smiled and said, "If this is true, then Sun Ke will be a little distracted. What will happen if he fights with these playboys?"
Zhu Meijun said: "But, they are not the ones that are the hottest now. Who do you guess it is?"
"who?"
"Young Master Zhang Xueliang, the eldest son of the Phoenix Legion Commander Zhang Zuolin, is Zhang Xueliang, the eldest son Zhang is a serious general. Can those two young men compete with each other?" Zhu Meijun said, "So as soon as Zhang Xueliang came to Beijing, everyone in the circle of young masters immediately surrounded him. Now he is very coquettish."
