Republic of China game

"But who are they going to deal with?" Xiaobei bit her lips lightly: "Is it the Communist Party like Xiaoying and Qu Ming?"

"There should be Feng Yuxiang." Luo Yaoguo nodded: "They have prepared everything, and they are waiting for the final operation."

"Ah!" Xiaobei exclaimed: "Really? Then you have to find a way to save Xiaoying and Qu Ming! They are such good people, don't be harmed by bad guys." Xiaobei's The heart was beating non-stop, as if seeing those hideous Beiyang soldiers holding up the shining ghost knife!

"Rescue?" Luo Yaoguo shook his head: "I hope they will ask me to rescue them."

Luo Yaoguo knew that he was not on the same side as them after all, maybe in their eyes, he was also an accomplice in the massacre of revolutionaries, at least he was watching the tragedy approaching step by step, and did nothing.But what can I do?Let those communists leave Feng Yuxiang and escape by themselves?Not to mention whether the communists will abandon their friends and escape alone, even the agreement between the Kuomintang and Soviet Russia does not allow them to do so. Feng Yuxiang must sit in that position, and what happens after he sits has nothing to do with the Kuomintang .

"No! I don't care about others, Xiaoying, you have to save her, or I won't agree." Xiaobei twisted Luo Yaoguo's waist with her little hand, reminding her husband to rescue her good sister.

"Okay, I'll try my best. If I can find her by then, I'll bring her to the American Legation." Naturally, Luo Yaoguo didn't want to disappoint his wife, but wouldn't it be more difficult to bring a staunch communist into the American Legation for refuge? Would it be cruel to kill her?

"Well, then I'm relieved." Xiao Bei agreed, then leaned her head on her husband's shoulder, and soon fell into a deep sleep.It seems that the strenuous exercise just now was really exhausting.

The somewhat carefree Lu Xiaobei would naturally not have the problem of insomnia, but Luo Yaoguo, who had always had a good sleep quality in his previous life, was troubled by insomnia and nightmares in this life.Behind the wunderkind and high position and weight is the feeling of walking on thin ice and facing an abyss.The history has been tampered with beyond recognition by him. The current Luo Yaoguo has no ability to predict bad luck. In the cruel war and bloody power struggle, he can only proceed cautiously. He must not make any mistakes, or he will lose the future. It's everything you own, including your loved ones.

After a light night's sleep, Luo Yaoguo woke up early to prepare his wife's luggage by himself. Then, he couldn't bear to wake up his beloved wife who was still asleep, so he quietly walked out of the room and began to arrange today's itinerary.Today he is going to visit General Zhang Xueliang and pay a sum of 250 million yuan, which is to buy Zhang's family to support Feng Yuxiang.Luo Yaoguo is now more and more suspicious of the purpose of Soviet Russia. Do they really believe that Feng Yuxiang can promote the so-called revolutionary climax?Or do you just want a central government that recognizes the Kullen regime?

Accompanying Luo Yaoguo to visit Zhang Xueliang was He Wang Bailing.The three of them took a car together to Zhang Xueliang's mansion in the French Concession. Now their hearts were heavy and they were speechless along the way.Luo Yaoguo was resting with his eyes closed, Sun Ke was looking around nonchalantly, and Wang Boling was reciting sutras from "Amitabha Buddha".

This is not the first time Luo Yaoguo has seen this legendary patriotic general. I wonder if he will still be equally patriotic in this time and space?Will Chiang Kai-shek be captured by him again?

Zhang Xueliang's face was full of spring today, and it seemed that there was some happy event. Seeing Luo Yaoguo and Sun Ke walking into the living room with gloomy faces, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "Brothers Zhesheng and Fuwen, we meet again."

After exchanging pleasantries between the two sides, the guests and hosts were seated. Zhang Xueliang first stepped into the main topic: "My father has agreed to support General Feng Huanzhang as the chairman of the coalition government. General Councilor Yang will personally represent our Zhenwei Army to attend the political consultation meeting of various factions next month. .”

"Thank you Zhang Yushuai for your success." Sun Ke bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and then took the check from Luo Yaoguo that he had prepared earlier: "Here is a check for 250 million French currency, which is a small gesture from the Nationalist Government to thank your army The support will be given by the other half after the matter is completed." After speaking, Sun Ke handed the check to Zhang Xueliang with both hands.

Zhang Xueliang took the check without looking at it, then picked up a white envelope on the table, and put the check in it.The 250 million is the down payment. According to the practice of the Republic of China, the other half will be paid after the work is over. The next payee is Yang Yuting.

After finishing their business, the four of them chatted for a while.Zhang Xueliang seemed to be on a whim and invited Sun Ke and Luo Yaoguo to visit the Northeast.And he also wants to visit Guangdong, and by the way, visit the arsenal and steel factories in Guangdong.

"Brother Zhesheng, I heard that your heavy industry in Guangdong is doing well now. My younger brother also wants to learn from it. Is it convenient?" Zhang Xueliang is indeed interested in building industries, so he really wants to visit Guangdong.

"No problem, we can't ask for it." Sun Ke agreed immediately, and he and Zhang Xueliang hit it off: "Recently, we will borrow [-] million U.S. dollars from a syndicate of banks from Britain, the United States, and France to build railways, power stations, steel plants, and chemical fertilizers. Factory or something, if brother Hanqing comes back in a few years, he will see even more."

"[-] million U.S. dollars!" Zhang Xueliang was taken aback by the number he accidentally inquired about: "This is [-] million silver dollars, can you pay it back?"

"What's the problem?" Luo Yaoguo answered this question for Sun Ke, and he said very carefully: "We have won back the tariffs in the south, and now it is 20% tariffs plus 10% consumption tax. In this way, not only our taxes It can increase a lot, and on the other hand, it can also protect the domestic industry to the greatest extent. Now the industrial products produced on our site have a 20% cost advantage over Japanese products. If we sell them at the same price, our national industry can earn 20% more %, so that their pace of accumulating capital can be greatly accelerated, and our tax revenue can also be greatly increased. In addition, industrial investment can also be greatly stimulated. And the funds we borrow from the Anglo-American loans are mainly used for infrastructure and heavy industry. For industries that national capital is unable to do, due to the protection of tariffs, these fledgling heavy industries can basically make profits easily, so we are not under great pressure to repay the loan.”

In fact, this set of methods of developing industry has long been adopted by the big powers. Basically, everyone is doing the same. Only in semi-feudal and semi-colonial countries like China, tariffs are controlled by foreign countries.Moreover, imperialist countries such as Japan can also carry out smuggling unscrupulously, causing the Chinese market to be flooded with Japanese goods.It not only hit China's industrialization process, but also made it possible for Japan to accumulate strength and launch a war of aggression.But now that the Japanese are using the Chinese market to grab huge profits to speed up their own industrialization process, the influence of Luo Yaoguo's butterfly effect should at least be slowed down, right?

Chapter 0131 coup (nine)

Zhongnanhai, Beijing, the official residence of General Feng Yuxiang.In a hidden room, Feng Yuxiang, Lu Zhonglin, Zhang Zhijiang, Li Mingzhong and others were sitting around the stove drinking tea.The atmosphere in the room was very dull, and the faces of several people were full of exhaustion.

"Commander-in-Chief, General Yuxing (Sun Yue) sent an urgent telegram. The Feng army has been frequently mobilized recently. It seems that there are heavy troops gathered in Tianjin and Rehe." Lu Zhonglin took out the telegram he had just received and handed it to Feng Yuxiang.

Feng Yuxiang took the telegram without reading it and threw it into the stove, and the telegram immediately turned into a puff of smoke.Feng's brows no longer had the confidence and determination of the past, only indescribable tiredness and helplessness.He let out a long sigh: "Oh, they didn't have a good thing. What they said in advance was better than what they sang. Now that they see us sitting on the stove, they all turn their faces and deny anyone."

"Commander-in-Chief, I'm afraid this city of Beijing cannot live, or we--" Zhang Zhijiang shook his head at this point, not knowing what to do.

"Let's go?" Feng Yuxiang sneered, "Is it possible to go? Where are we going? We are now trapped by Lao Maozi, the Kuomintang, and the Communist Party. "The reason why Feng Yuxiang has come to this day is the fault of the Kuomintang rightists who refuse to make revolution. If they are willing to go north to attack Wu Peifu and Duan Qirui, the situation of the National Army will be reversed immediately, but now those villains are watching jokes on the sidelines. Watching Feng Yuxiang drowned in this bottomless pool of water in Beijing.

"Commander-in-Chief, we will fight them!" Li Mingzhong slapped the table and shouted.

"Fight?" Feng Yuxiang smiled wryly, "What are we going to fight for? Our troops have been gnawing corn bread for several months, and their eyes have already glowed green when they saw big fish and meat. After all, they are not the Communist Party, so they can't bear the hardship. "

"Commander-in-Chief, there are still many big families in Beijing, or we--" Lu Zhonglin knows that the key to controlling the army now is military spending. For warlord troops, there is no army without pay. This has never changed truth.

"You want to fight local tyrants in Beijing?" Feng Yuxiang vetoed the proposal with a wave of his hand: "Beijing is no better than the countryside, the water here is so deep! Even if the Communist Party is allowed to enter Beijing, they will not use the method of land revolution in the city Yes. We can't do this anymore, or we won't even have any room in the future, so we have to live outside as an apartment for the rest of our lives."

Speaking of this, the old brothers and Feng Yuxiang fell into silence for a while, and Feng Yuxiang broke the silence after a long time, his eyes flickering: "Everyone, now we have only one way out, haven't all the people from Zhang Yuting contacted you? Or go with him."

"Commander-in-Chief! We have absolutely no two hearts!" Hearing Feng Yuxiang's words, several people were shocked and fell to their knees on the ground.They are indeed in secret contact with Zhang Zuolin's representative, trying to save a way out, but in their view, this is not a betrayal, but a preservation of strength.

"Commander-in-Chief, Zhang Yuting also offered you a price, and the Shaanxi Governor and Suiyuan Commander will return 200 million oceans of military expenses! Or we--" Li Mingzhong stammered out Zhang Zuolin's price, and at the same time admitted in disguise There is contact with Fengzhang.

"Hehe." Feng Yuxiang laughed twice: "Get up, everyone get up. This time I am sorry for the brothers, and let the brothers suffer. Originally, I thought that Beijing Sijiu City is full of gold and silver mountains, just scratching a little can make people suffer. Everyone can't enjoy it enough, who would have thought it would be today."

"Commander-in-Chief, we are sorry for you!" Several people still couldn't kneel down.

Feng Yuxiang sighed again: "I know you guys are doing it for my own good, but I can't go this way, you can just go if you want to, no matter what you have to do, you have to keep the troops, I can make a comeback with the troops in the future!" said At this point, Feng Yuxiang seemed to have some confidence on his face.He paused and then said: "But we can't attack the Communist Party, and we can't do this villain, understand? This feud cannot be settled, and the potential of the Communist Party is endless. Soaring, we can't get stuck with them."

The few people were silent for a long time and didn't know how to answer for a moment. What Feng Yuxiang said just now seemed to be sincere, and it was the only way out at the moment.

"After I became the chairman of the coalition government, I went to Soviet Russia to serve as the government-in-exile." Feng Yuxiang further stated his plan: "Soviet Russia asked me to recognize Outer Mongolia. But I can't refuse, the road of Soviet Russia can't be broken, many friends have multiple roads! I will delay for a few days, and I guess the central government will step down by then. Help me save the troops, I Let's go to Soviet Russia to take refuge for a while, and when the news comes, we will find a chance to make a comeback."

After hearing Feng Yuxiang's plan, the brothers all heaved a sigh of relief, and the big stone that had been weighing on their hearts for many days was finally removed.It turned out that their commander-in-chief still had a way, and he was not fascinated by the chair on the Golden Luan Hall.

Zhang Zhijiang was the first to stand up: "The commander-in-chief really has a clever plan, we will hold on to the troops and wait for you to come back."

Lu Zhonglin also stood up, his brows still not loosened, as if he still had something on his mind.

"Zuibo, speak up if you have something to say." Feng Yuxiang saw that Lu Zhonglin had something on his mind, and Feng Yuxiang valued his strategy very much. Feng Yuxiang's power is full of brave men, but there are not many think tanks. This is why Feng Yuxiang was always played and applauded by Lao Jiang in another time and space.

"Commander-in-Chief, things have changed now. Should we just say something about the Communist Party? And what about Liu Lanjiang (Liu Yufen)?" Lu Zhonglin naturally knew that Liu Yufen and Song Zheyuan also had disagreements, but that was also forced by the situation. , as a last resort.

"I also know their difficulties. Tianxing (Zhang Zhijiang), you are the big brother, so you can go to them and explain clearly. I know their difficulties. I don't blame them for this. But there are a few points that I need to clarify with them. First, you can’t touch the Communists, just send them out as gifts. Second, you can’t kill workers and peasants, just disarm them. There must always be a way out, and you can’t follow Zhang Zuolin all the way to the dark side, right? As for Communist Party, I will go and talk to Mr. Zhou, hehe, Mr. Zhou is the only one among them who can talk." Feng Yuxiang used to be strict with his subordinates, but at this point today, he can only rely on coaxing.He has not had any foreign money to distribute to his subordinates for several months, and it is unlikely that he will have any in the future.Under such circumstances, it would be foolish to expect unconditional allegiance from others. Such a person cannot be a warlord.Besides, he didn't want his only capital to be used up to fight with Zhang Zuolin. Preserving strength is the common feature of all warlords, not just Lao Jiang.If you run out of strength, you can go to the wild to go home to pick up your child, or you can lose your life if your head falls to the ground.

"Do you want to inform Commander Sun and Commander Hu?" Lu Zhonglin asked again.

Feng Yuxiang shook his head: "No need, they are not three-year-old children, besides, General Zhang has already looked for you, will you look for the two of them?"

While Feng Yuxiang was holding a meeting to arrange the way forward, Luo Yaoguo took Wu Zhong, Wan Yanhao, Fan Hai, Jin Puxin and others on the train heading west to Beijing.The train back to Beijing was always empty now, Luo Yaoguo and the others were sitting in a box talking and laughing, and seemed to be in a good mood.The task this time is almost complete, and there are still many unexpected gains, such as the establishment of the Northern Trading Company of the Military Intelligence Bureau.Luo Yaoguo had already discussed this matter with Wu Ziliang in Guangzhou through telegrams, and planned to use the remaining part of the event funds for commercial activities in the north, and planned to combine commercial and espionage activities together.The first step is to speculate on real estate in Beijing.

"Puxin, you are familiar with the grounds of Beijing. Are there any good houses released now?" Luo Yaoguo asked Jin Puxin with a smile. To be honest, it would be much easier for him to come forward to buy a house.And intelligence work is to deal with all aspects, including the old and the young, and even the traitors of the Japanese have to contact and even make deals.

"Of course there are. Now there are plenty of good houses, but no one wants them." Jin Puxin snorted and smiled: "The rich people are all running out now, who dares to come back? And even if someone wants to speculate, they are afraid of being handed over by the Communist Party. As long as we have a big backer behind us, don’t be afraid.”

Indeed, speculative business cannot do much without a backing.If you buy a house now, even if the Communist Party is not communist, when the red beards from the Feng family come in, it might be taken over.This business is not for a businessman in his own right.In fact, the development of economy and industry is still inseparable from a stable environment, otherwise everyone can only be compradors and adventurers.Now Luo Yaoguo is planning to take a risk in Beijing with the funds provided by the national government.Well, no matter how you look at it, it's a sure win.

"Okay, okay." Luo Yaoguo nodded with satisfaction: "This time we are going to set up a trading company in the north to raise funds to do some shady things. The general manager of the company will invite professionals from Shanghai to do it. How many of you First learn business with others, and the company will let you take over in the future. However, our company is not entirely about business, but also intelligence. I decided to let Wanyan Wenqiang (Wan Yanhao) be responsible for this part. Gongwei (Wu Chong) , you are in charge of the company's finances, you are in this line of work, so just continue to do it. Seeing your growing stomach, you won't be able to go to the battlefield."

Chapter 0132 coup (ten)

When Luo Yaoguo and others returned to Beijing, the Fourth National Congress of the Communist Party was at its climax, and revolutionaries from all over the country and the world gathered in Xishan. They were either listening as friends of fraternal parties, or guiding as representatives of the Third International , or young people who are desperately seeking the truth for the revolution, they will eventually become a member of the Communist Party or a fellow traveler of the revolution by observing the Four Congresses of the Communist Party and feeling the revolutionary atmosphere in Beijing.Of course, there are exceptions. Luo Yaoguo rejected Zhou Enlai's invitation without hesitation, let go of this rare opportunity, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the business of buying and inspecting houses!The current housing prices in Beijing are really ridiculously cheap, they are basically the price of cabbage.This is the unfair game caused by information asymmetry. Although there is already a sound of sharpening knives outside Beijing, the feudal remnants and reactionary capitalists in Sijiu City still don't know anything about it.

Now the newspapers in Beijing speak for the working people, and every day brings good news of the victory of the revolution.Today, a delegation from a certain place went to Beijing to participate in the Political Consultative Conference to discuss revolutionary issues. Tomorrow, the leader of the Kuomintang, Liao Zhongkai, talked about the booming revolutionary situation in the south. Wait, the day when this red flag is planted all over the world is really not far away.So, I should hurry up and give up the big yard left by my ancestors in exchange for two dollars so that I can escape, er, although I can hide from the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, isn't it possible to hide for a day?Besides, if you go outside, no one will recognize you as Lord XX.Wouldn't it be all right to pretend to be a proletariat and sneak into the ranks of the masses at that time?These grandparents who have been in Beijing for more than 200 years are all smart!

"You said that Luo Yaoguo is buying a house now?" After hearing Gu Shunzhang's report, Zhou Enlai also felt confused: "Are you making a mistake? Maybe he is doing some kind of conspiracy by buying a house?" If Luo Yaoguo has been in contact these two days Zhou Enlai absolutely believed in buying Feng Yuxiang's generals, but buying a house is really nonsensical. What does this guy want to do?Do you want to settle down in Beijing?

Gu Shunzhang rubbed the back of his head, and smiled awkwardly: "Minister Zhou, they must have a conspiracy, and this conspiracy is probably related to buying a house. During this period, Luo Yaoguo and a few of his men brought bank notes in Sijiu City They didn’t even look closely at the houses, and took them as long as there were goods. We also sent a few comrades to contact them with the deeds of the confiscated manors outside the city, and they sent people to look at them casually. After looking at the house, we went to the city government to go through the formalities. We took the banknotes and went to the bank in the city to take out Dayang, which is probably not a fake.” At this time, the revolution had not yet implemented in Beijing, although there were workers picketing The police are patrolling, and strikes and school strikes are going well, but the business operations of the bourgeoisie have not been completely terminated, and this is also a situation that the Communist Party intends to maintain.

Zhou Enlai couldn't help shaking his head: "I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in these gourds of the Kuomintang? By the way, you have to send more people to monitor closely, especially pay attention to their contacts with Feng Yuxiang's generals." Zhou Enlai frowned even tighter.During this period of time, Teke, directly led by Zhou Enlai, has collected a lot of information in this regard, and found that Feng Yuxiang has gradually lost the control of many troops. It can be considered friendly, but when they meet in private, they are full of complaints, attacking the Communist Party and Soviet Russia, and attacking General Feng Yuxiang's revolutionary policy of uniting Russia and the Communist Party.

"Minister Zhou, we didn't find any unusual contacts between the right wing of the Kuomintang and Feng Yuxiang's generals, but the left wing of the Kuomintang seems to have made some small moves." Gu Shunzhang hesitated for a while and said: "Deng Yanda has frequently traveled between Beijing and Baoding during this period. According to reports from our comrades in Baoding, he went to see Hu Jingyi, and both Jiang Guangnai and Cai Tingkai have now been assigned to the National Army."
