The next day, Wang Maoru saw that the whole newspaper in the country analyzed the gains and losses of recovering 2.7 million square kilometers of land. At this moment, Wang Peng reported that an old friend had come to visit, and Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang came together. Wang Maoru quickly dressed neatly and asked the two to sit in the living room. Wang Maoru was the younger generation who was etiquette and invited the two to sit on the seat, but he did not lose his sense of duty. The two of them quickly refused to take advantage of this ceremony. Wang Maoru insisted on doing this. Duan Qirui smiled and said that if he refused again, he would be pretentious, so he should sit in the upper seat first. Xu Shichang then sat down.

After the two sat down, Wang Maoru offered tea to the two seniors again. The courtesy rules were very concise, and he was not like a marshal who was in charge of a million troops. It was as if a junior student from a college was respectful to his teacher. Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang looked at each other and smiled. Wang Maoru could get to this point today, not to mention his personal abilities, but he did have some tricks in dealing with people. No wonder Yuan Shikai valued it. Duan Qirui took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, took out the old newspaper from a few days ago from his arms, and smiled: "Xiusheng has made a great contribution to this action. In the future, he will take you as an example."

Wang Maoru shook his head and smiled, "Xiusheng is a martial artist, and his contributions are all on others."

Duan Qirui said: "Highly, humble, don't Xiusheng hear that the leader of the flock is more important than the lambs? This time you are extremely beneficial to the country and the people."

Wang Maoru quickly smirked, and Xu Shichang said again: "I have a few things to come to Beijing this time, please help me."

Wang Maoru hurriedly said: "Seniors are worried about what they ask for, but I have no choice but to do so."

Xu Shichang said: "First, we are preparing some funds for Henan University. Second, we are participating in the birthdays and condolences of several old friends. Third, we are coming to your place to congratulate you."

Duan Qirui was so quick that he asked straight in and said, "But the capital was very chaotic these days. What happened to parade, protest, and protest?"

Wang Maoru smiled slightly and said with confidence: "It's nothing, it's just that the Democratic Party impeached me to establish diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and sign the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty to arouse dissatisfaction with other great powers, which led to diplomatic conflicts. Now, the four major powers of Britain, France, the United States and Italy have sent a formal note to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked us to explain."

Duan Qirui had a hot temper and slapped the table with a "bang". Tea sprinkled on the table. He said furiously: "It's too much to deceive others, too much to deceive others! The great powers still wantonly to be ravaged by our country like grass?"

Xu Shichang sighed: "Our country is vast, but it has no combat power."

Without combat power, he slapped Wang Maoru naked. He smiled awkwardly. He said, "China just has no national war. The National Defense Forces have clashed with foreign countries several times and repeatedly, all of which are local conflicts. Therefore, foreign powers cannot see the true strength of our defense force. It is inevitable that they look down on China now. After all, only more than 20 years have passed, and no one would think that a country can change from a sick man in East Asia who can be bullied by others to a warrior with strong national dignity in twenty years. However, we need to work harder. After the establishment of the National Defense Forces, they are not idle in various stationed areas, and they participate in bandit suppression work. The soldiers of the National Defense Forces are not trained, but fight."

Duan Qirui smiled and said, "That's right. You have to hit it out, you'll hit it out."

Xu Shichang said: "This move by the Democratic Party is really inappropriate."

Duan Qirui said in anger: "At the time when they were pulling their legs behind our Beiyang, we had to sign a series of unequal treaties with Japan. If they weren't pressing on everything and being involved in it all the time, President Yuan wouldn't have discussed the "Twenty-One" with Japan. If we didn't discuss the "Twenty-One", I, Beiyang, wouldn't have been questioned as a traitor of the government."

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "The mistake at that time was that his speech was too free and he was used freely. Beiyang soldiers looked down on literati and did not know that soldiers lived for a while and literati lived for a lifetime."

Xu Shichang asked: "How is the Japanese side?"

Wang Maoru said: "This time the Japanese government did not jump out to act as a mighty man. After the opposition and revolutionary party in Japan were gradually suppressed, it was eager to restore its national strength. Now the trade between China and Japan is increasing. Since the unification of the Republic of China, the national strength has become increasingly stronger. The Chinese people have gradually become calm and they are not so disgusted with Japanese goods. Therefore, the Japanese need the Chinese market more, which also makes Japan extremely complicated towards China. In the tide of the European and American powers, Japan was indeed brought in - and the Japanese government is now fully preparing to send troops to the Kamchatka Peninsula and East and West Siberia. It is just that it is not enough to send troops to the Kamchatka Peninsula. If the troops reach East and West Siberia, they must get the help of the Chinese National Defense Force."

Duan Qirui quickly walked to the world map, looked up and down carefully, and said in surprise: "Are you serious about this?"

"Take it seriously." Wang Maoru said firmly.

Duan Qirui widened his eyes and laughed: "Okay, OK, so, all countries will definitely focus on this place. But how did Japan think of the land of the far north frozen soil, where... no grass grows."

Wang Maoru shrugged and smiled, "Who knows?"

Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang looked at each other and laughed. This must be what Wang Maoru did again, but he just didn't say it out. Wang Maoru said again: "To be honest, I have some things to ask for help from seniors."

"Tell me, what else can we do with this old bone?" Xu Shichang said.

Wang Maoru said: "This time the Democratic Party initiated impeachment, Xiusheng really felt that it was extremely wrong. Xiusheng, a martial artist, should take it as his mission to defend the country and open up the territory and split the country, but he did not have as many literati. This time he was slandered as a traitor, which was really wrong. I would like to ask seniors to help Xiusheng run around and explain to me. If I explain it myself, it would be like I would argue, but if the seniors helped, it would definitely be different."

Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang looked at each other, nodded, and Wang Maoru hurriedly bowed to thank him.

After leaving Wang Maoru's mansion, Duan Qirui suddenly shouted, "I'm calling this little fox again." Xu Shichang laughed and said, "It seems that Xiusheng is not blindly confident, but is doing everything step by step. This Democratic Party impeachment is a dangerous move for him, and he must have a backup plan."

"A big thing is about to happen, he is still confident and sure he is confident." Duan Qirui said, then smiled bitterly, "But you and I are a hundred years old together, but they are so cute that they can make a fuss. They promised to help him win over the veteran gentry and gain popularity for him. It's really... This little bastard is really not worthy of the nickname of the Nine-tailed Fox. You, a crystal fox, have never fought against the Nine-tailed Fox. Isn't it your dereliction of duty?" Xu Shichang smiled bitterly again.

On February 28, 12th year of the Republic of China, the Soviet government made a decision that Amoxif Jestic Yulin, who was in charge of negotiations in China, was the first Soviet ambassador to China, formally established diplomatic relations with China. On the same day, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also publicly stated that the Chinese government appointed Bi Guifang as the first Chinese ambassador to the Soviet Union and went to Moscow immediately, and the two sides officially established diplomatic relations. This move was a formal battle with the notes sent to China by various countries, and also caused ambassadors of various countries to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to accuse China of disregarding the world market and allowing China to see.

However, Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang replied with a strong and powerful voice: "China's establishment of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union is China's internal affairs, so why do other countries need to agree? If China establish diplomatic relations with other countries also requires permission from each other, then China will change its name to British China, French China, and US China?"

Sir Maklay, the new British Ambassador to China who just came to China last year, sneered: "If a war is triggered, China needs to bear all the responsibility."

Lu Zhengxiang was angry, but his expression was very confident, saying: "If a world war was triggered, it would be another colonial war. The Chinese government is not the Qing government. At that time, ethnic minorities enslaved China, and now it is a republic recognized by the state and the people. The people overthrew a slave owner and would never allow a second slave owner."

All the ambassadors left in anger. When the Japanese ambassador Koba Yoshi walked to the end, he nodded at Lu Zhengxiang and secretly stretched out a thumb. Lu Zhengxiang was surprised in his heart. However, Gu Weijun understood everything and said quietly: "The Japanese are actually good at dealing with each other. They are ambitions. Japan wants China to have another Gengzi Battle. Now China's unification has hindered Japan's development. Japan has no chance to invade mainland China. They can only rely on the Eight-Nation Alliance to enter Beijing again. The Japanese give us a thumbs up, but they have no good intentions."

Lu Zhengxiang smiled slightly and said, "This little Japanese, you have to be more careful when dealing with them in the future."

Sure enough, Japanese ambassador Omanyu Yoshiki then sent his secretary Uta Sanshiro to discuss the cooperation plan of Fushun Steel Plant on behalf of Mitsubishi Industries, and was preparing to invest in coal mines in Taiyuan, China, hoping to further deepen cooperation. This attitude is to imply that it is not about how Western countries act. Japan will always please both sides and "never" will cause harm. Of course, this "never" will also change with the changes in current affairs. If the Eight-Nation Alliance really enters Beijing again, Japan will become a violent one. The evil wolf is rising. However, investing in coal mines in Taiyuan is a good thing. Shanxi's coal mine mining industry is backward. Shanxi merchants seem to have no way to see the rich profits brought by the coal mine industry and are keen on trade exchanges. The coal mines in Shanxi are more small workshops and small landlords, and the large mine veins are encircled by the National Defense Forces. The Japanese pike thrown into the base camp of Shanxi merchants will prompt Shanxi merchants to speed up the renewal of their ideas and promote the transformation of Shanxi merchants, so that Shanxi merchants with backward thoughts can clearly see modern business.

Of course, other foreign powers have seen Japan's small moves, but they have no way to interfere. Even the French ambassador sent someone to secretly tell the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs that as long as your Chinese political system remains unchanged, France will not interfere too much - but you must also guarantee all the interests of France.
