Make a decision!

Make a decision that is beneficial to Japan and is correct!

After Yuan Shikai said this, he could clearly see that He Changxiong's face became extremely ugly. He was mourning, and his face was sometimes white and sometimes red, angry?

No!

No anger!

All that is left is boundless heartache!

The heartache is extremely painful!

At this time, He Changxiong had only such an idea. Perhaps it is difficult for the Chinese to understand, but as Japanese Youhe, he clearly knows what the navy means to an island country like Japan. (Look at the "Piaotian Silk Network" by reading the text novel)

Without a navy, there would be no Japan!

In the past twenty years, such a consensus has long been formed in all walks of life in Japan!

But on the other hand, He Changxiong knew clearly that the pressure the navy put on Japan was good. After defeating Lucia, Japan was a recognized strong country, but it was also a poor country. However, this poor country had a world-class navy, which was built by Japan exhausted its national treasury.

Every time a warship is built, it will have a bad impact on Japan's economy. Now, in one day, perhaps in a few hours, Japan loses its eight most elite battleships!

The Japanese Navy is finished!

While this consciousness emerged from his heart, He Changxiong was left with only grief in his heart, so that his expression was a little dazed.

He looked at the photos on the table and seemed to want to find some evidence that this could prove that it was not true, but in the end, he had to face the fact that the ship sinking in the photo was real, and Yuan Shikai did not have to use this thing to fake it!

"Whether between countries, a wrong decision may lead to the decay of a country!"

While He Changxiong was lost, Yuan Shikai, who was a little refreshed, said this, and then he lit a cigar happily. After spitting out a smoke, he looked at He Changxiong and said.

"The same right decision will also change the fate of a country!"

destiny!

At this time, Yuan Shikai felt that fate was so subtle for the first time. In the previous second, he was still in the sky, and was under pressure that others could not imagine. He was afraid, loneliness, uncertainty about the future bothered him and swallowed his will. Sometimes he even made the intention to make concessions to Japan. If he had a choice, he might have done that, but he had no way out and could only persevere.

And just when he thought he could no longer hold on, suddenly, everything changed, and the subtlety of fate was fully reflected here!

Yuan Shikai's words made He Changxiong feel sad, and said with a bitter feeling. (Let's read the text novels and go to "Piaotianwen.com")

"President, I believe that after this news spread, Okuma may have to resign and collapse the cabinet. Japan cannot bear such heavy losses. President, you and China have won this war!"

He clearly knows what kind of decisions Japan will make, and he also understands the fate of his friends afterwards.

"No!"

After shook his head and spitting out a puff of cigarette, Yuan Shikai glanced at Youhe and said.

"You don't understand politics! Okuma will definitely not resign now!"

Almost a good sleep!

In two months, Yuan Shikai finally had his first good sleep. He no longer had to pretend to be sick like in the past, nor did he need to be careful when facing the ministers of Britain, the United States and France, and be sincere and betrayed. He did not need to be in front of Ri Zhiyi. He cursed Li Zhiyuan and the governors of various provinces for his courage and arrogance. He also said that he was powerless. He also apologized to him. He was not with him. In short, the days that were not human outside were finally over today!

Yuan Shikai slept enough in the dormitory. After driving away all the fatigue and worries of the past two months, he washed up under the sunny window. Then he got up and pushed open the door and walked out of the vast sky.

Piaotian Si Literature Network, Baoyue Tower, looking at the beautiful autumn scenery of Zhongnanhai.

Suddenly he burst into laughter. He felt that he had never been so happy. For the first time, he truly realized the pride and pride of being a leader of a "strong country". He remembered the horror of Youhe when he heard the destruction of the First Fleet last night, and also thought of his sincerity. Suddenly, Yuan Shikai felt an unprecedented ambition gathering in his heart, and an unprecedented ambition filled his heart:

"Since I am the president, I should do my best to do some good things for this country full of soreness, forget the grievances of the past, and be like the sea, accommodate all rivers, unite everyone, build a prosperous and powerful Republic of China, and become a great man of China. 1 Become the Washington of China! Napoleon of China!"

Although Washington and Napoleon were not the same people, Yuan Shikai still said to himself in his heart. After he looked at the clear and refreshing autumn under the blue sky and white clouds, his heart was sweet. He held the unburned cigar and gently swung it in his hands, whispering softly in his mouth;

"I am so proud of the spring breeze. I want to prosper my country and my nation, so that everyone can know the greatness of my Yuan Shikai..."

Thinking of this, Yuan Shikai, who was full of confidence, ignited a cigar, took two sips, and spit out a piece of smoke. With the vast white smoke floating in front of him. While smoking the cigar, he was thinking there again, thinking about the future after victory.

At this moment, someone suddenly reported. (When you read the text novel, go to "Piaotianwen.com")

"The British Minister Jurden came to visit."

When he heard that the guests he invited came, Yuan Shikai hurriedly said:

“Please hurry

Minutes later, a British man with a tall and thin striped strip, pale yellow hair, white face and high nose was led in. As soon as he entered the living room, he respectfully gave Yuan Shikai a respectful gift to the head of state of other countries. The goose tuxedo was just raised and was stopped by Yuan Shikai.

"Old friends meet and are in a bad mood to welcome you, and they dare not take this great gift. Please sit quickly, please sit.

As the ambassador to China, Zhu Erdian is still humble.

"Your Excellency is the President of the Republic of China, how dare I act rashly?

As a Chinese master, Zhu Erdian speaks Chinese authentically, and even his words are Chinese-style polite. He is truly a Chinese master.

"Okay, OK."

Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said.

"There are only you and Yuan Weiting here. You are my old knowledge. All the common etiquette will be spared. Just like we met in North Korea twenty years ago, we are heart-wrenching. The vast sky is vast. I will give you some cheers.

"The president is not afraid of rudeness.

"Friends do not order the ceremony!"

"You are not afraid of the Chinese people saying that you are more ruling.

"You know me, heaven knows the earth knows."

"Then we will break the borders."

“The world is in harmony

The two of them dug up their hands and laughed loudly. When they were laughing loudly, Ju Erdian noticed that the president in front of them seemed different from the previous one. Since the Jiaoao Incident two months ago, Yuan Shikai seemed to have never relaxed as much as he is now. Even when the two met in North Korea, they were much fatter than they are now. From this, we can imagine the pressure he has been under in the past two months.

Zhu Erdian, this 62-year-old man spent almost half of his life in China. Since he became the secretary of the British Embassy in China in 889, he has carefully collected the situation in China and learned about China's history and today. He met Yuan Shikai when he was the Consul General of North Korea, and the two almost hit it off at first sight. During the change of the Gengzi Kingdom, facing Yuan Shikai maintaining the order in Shandong, Zhu Erdian recommended Yuan Shikai to the eight countries with all his strength. It was under his guidance that Li Hongzhang died.

Later, facing the stability of the situation in Shandong, the eight countries recognized that Yuan Shikai was maintaining the north and also realized that he was one of the few reformists in the Chinese government and opposition. In the end, Yuan Shikai successfully took over as the Minister of Beiyang. Even after Yuan Shikai was forced to step down, he did not forget this person for a moment, nor did he abandon Yuan Shikai. Moreover, after the Revolution of 1911, Zhu Erdian recognized that Yuan Shikai was the only candidate to restore Chinese order and maintain Chinese stability.

After Yuan Shikai became the president, he also actively led Western countries to take the lead in recognizing the Republic of China and opened up the diplomatic deadlock in the Republic of China. In the so-called "Second Revolution", Britain and the European and American powers they represented still firmly believed that Yuan Shikai was the only candidate to maintain China's stability. Even after the outbreak of World War I, Britain chose to sacrifice China for the interests of Asia, Zhu Erdian, as the British Minister, chose the interests of Britain, and quietly stood on Yuan Shikai's side and gave him advice. (Look at the "Piaotian Silk Network")

Whether it is the unilateral declaration of war on Germany or the central government decided to intervene after the Jiaoao Incident, there is the shadow of Zhu Erdian behind it, which still affects China until now.

"Since the Jiaoao Incident, thanks to your Excellency and your government, who have repeatedly publicly declared support for China's legitimate behavior and blamed the Japanese for their arrogant behavior. This is the greatest support for me and my government.

While thanking him, Yuan Shikai personally brewed incense tea for Juerdian and gave him cigars for him. This is respect for his old friends. Although he understood that Juerdian represents more the interests of Britain and his duty as a diplomat, he was already very close to his friends when he was able to consider China's interests.

"Here, please first of all, please allow me to express my most sincere thanks and high respect to your government through you!"

Yuan Shikai, who is good at dealing with the great powers, certainly knows when to wear a high hat on the other party. However, when he is wearing a high hat on the other party, he has a completely different state of mind from the past, and even has the vague idea of ​​sitting on the same side as the other party.

Faced with Yuan Shikai's compliment, Zhu Erdian hurriedly said.

"My government and I, with the greatest enthusiasm, hope that you can safeguard China's interests and China's territory. This is the responsibility of the United Kingdom as a world power.

After saying that, the two of them laughed at each other.

The small living room of Jurentang has changed its solemnity and fear in the past, becoming gentle and cheerful. Even the golden bell of the little man who turned and burned with enamel on the table also looks particularly crisp and loud.

Juerdian sucked a cigar, stood up from the Grand Master's chair, walked to Yuan Shikai, smiled gently, and said.

"When I came in just now, I noticed that the President seemed to be in a good mood.

"Mr., today is autumn. I wonder if the minister is interested in accompanying me to visit this former royal forest garden!"

"It is a great honor to have the President accompanying you!"

As they said that, the two of them walked slowly to the Central Sea and saw a plum tree forest. Although the plum trees were not covered with plum blossoms on the branches, Zhu Erdian said with the scenery.

"Wintersweet is a small deciduous shrub, belonging to the family Wintersweet family. There is an ancient astronomy in China's) It seems that the name of wintersweet should have been from 1068 to 1094. Is the President right?

Although he was a Chinese, Yuan Shikai had never studied these things. He rarely reads his poems, whether it was Wang Anguo or Huang Tingjian. Although he had read some of Su Shi's works, he left them behind because of the disagreement. He knew that the British next to him knew too much about China's history and culture, so he could be called a real "China Communication". Unlike the so-called China Communication, the China Communication next to him not only understands China's current affairs, but also understands China's history and culture.

So, he nodded his head and should:

"Maybe. Your Minister is so familiar with Chinese history and culture that Weiting is ashamed!"

In front of Zhu Erdian, Yuan Shikai did not need to hide anything. He didn't know, but he didn't know. What's more, in Yuan Shikai's opinion, the most feared thing about many things is to pretend to understand. If an outsider pretends to understand in front of an insider, that is really ridiculous. Instead of doing that, it is better to directly admit that you are not as good as yourself.

Juerdian, who was smiling, continued:

"The plums in China have the most tastes. "Yuan Ya", "Plum Blossoms", "Flower History", and even "Compendium of Materia Medica" have been described in detail in detail, with about a dozen types, and are mostly related to the anecdotes and interesting stories of literati and scholars. It is really a noble world of Chinese culture."

Yuan Shikai was nodded frequently because of his speech. He knew that the British man around him was not meant to appreciate plum blossoms. Now that the plum blossoms have not appeared, how can he have the need to appreciate plum blossoms? He just wanted to use plum blossoms as a medium to raise the topic.

Although the outbreak of the European war temporarily slowed down the attention of Britain in Asia and China, it never relaxed Juerdian. It can be said that Zhuerdian is very concerned about China's every move, let alone in this special period. This morning, Zhuerdian received a report that last night, Yuan Shikai suddenly invited the presidential adviser You Changxiong. After He Changxiong left the presidential palace, he went to the Japanese Embassy. Then the Japanese Embassy passed through the Dongjiaomin Lane Post Office and sent dozens of telegrams to the country. overnight, it was constantly telegram exchanges. Suddenly, Zhuerdian noticed it. Just when he had not understood what Yuan Shikai wanted to do and why the contact between the Japanese Embassy and the country suddenly increased, Yuan Shikai took the initiative to invite him to the Presidential Palace, so he had the opportunity to borrow the plum t-project to play.

Today, I invited Juerdian to come here to make Yuan Shikai, who was working for China, waited for the opportunity to tell the happy event, and then used the British power to solve the Jiaoao deeds through diplomatic channels. When Juerdian mentioned the plum blossom, his eyes naturally lit up and said according to the words he caused.

"Without the cold, how can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms? This sentence is well said!"

After chanting these two sentences, Yuan Shikai looked at Zhonghai behind Meilin and said.

"Mr. I still remember that in this conflict without a retreat, I and our China are going to seek that possibility in ten thousand impossible things - that is to defeat the enemy!"

Involuntarily, Yuan Shikai quoted a sentence from Li Zicheng's telegram to him. Once upon a time, Yuan Shikai even felt that Li Zicheng's words were a bit arrogant. In his opinion, the best situation was that the Japanese army was in a stalemate in Jiaoao. Finally, he gave the Japanese a step forward through diplomatic efforts, and then made peace between the two sides. But now, the situation is completely different. It can even be said to be a great victory for the Army Air Force, which fundamentally reversed the situation. The current situation is very beneficial to China and is also very conducive to diplomatic resolution.

"The President's determination is not something that others can understand! How can the President's persistence be understood by others?"

Zhu Erdian quickly praised him, "He who is familiar with Chinese people and Yuan Shikai is also familiar with Yuan Shikai, knows that Yuan Shikai is going to talk about serious things!"
