Yang Xizi picked up the phone and said, "General Consul's Office, who are you?"

After talking a few words with the other party, Yang Xizi took the receiver away and said, "Sun Wei is here, he is waiting outside."

"Oh? Success? Let him in quickly. By the way, let him bring all the players in." Zhao Shouhong said with joy.

Yang Xizi nodded and said something to the phone, then went to open the door.Soon Sun Wei walked into the office with five people including Qingniao. Seeing Zhao Shouhong, Sun Wei immediately stepped forward to salute and said: "Report to the boss, the task has been successfully completed, and all things have been brought back without damage."

"Great." Zhao Shouhong stood up suddenly: "I think these five are our heroes."

"Yes, they are the five team members I selected." Sun Wei said: "I think they are very responsible when performing tasks, they are highly skilled and thoughtful, and they are talents that can be used with confidence. I request that this team The organization was fixed and used as a secret force."

Zhao Shouhong looked at the five people with different descriptions but all held their heads high and nodded, saying: "Very well, from now on you will be called the Gale Expendables, responsible for special tasks, and affiliated to the General Intelligence Bureau. From now on, all five of you will be promoted Up to the major’s salary, each person is [-] Huayuan per month.”

Zhao Shouhong's words startled the five people. As Hualan people, they naturally knew the purchasing power of Huayuan.Nowadays, things in Hualan are very cheap. The monthly salary of an industrial worker is only [-] Huayuan, but it is enough to feed and clothe a family of five, even though it is only the bare minimum.A salary of [-] Huayuan is already considered a high salary in the Western Special Zone. It is no wonder that so many young people are willing to join the army.

Seeing the excited faces of the five people, Zhao Shouhong added: "You will write down your family's situation and address in a while, and the government will send people to Zhongchuan as soon as possible to resettle them. Major General Sun Wei promised that your land will be settled soon." It will be fulfilled."

"Yes, we must train and fight hard. As long as the commander gives an order, we will die." Qingniao and other five people replied excitedly.

"No, I want you to be loyal to the country rather than individuals. Our Hualan nation has experienced 300 years of history of being castrated by the post-Golden Empire, and it is too lacking in nationality. Now is the time for him to return. So I want each of you to remember that the country and the nation are what you should be loyal to, and no one else deserves it." Zhao Shouhong said seriously.

"Yes, Lord Chief." Qingniao and the other five answered loudly.

When Zhao Shouhong met with Qingniao and other five people, the political arena in Beihua City was already in turmoil.Since the War of Protecting the Law tended to fail, the power of the Northern Territory faction has expanded again. The powerful and powerful Northern Territory factions have not waited to completely wipe out the domestic resistance forces, but turned the struggle to the inside.

In order to counteract the influence of Sun Wenhai's establishment of the Extraordinary Congress in Guangdong Province, and to fight against the direct troops under President Feng Guofu, Duan Ruiquan began to seek to control the new Congress.If you want to control Congress, you cannot do without buying members and manipulating elections, which require a lot of money.

Fortunately, since Wa Kingdom failed in the last battle and Terauchi Masaki stepped down, the country has turned its energy to the development of the Far East and the policy direction of finding agents in Hualan.Wa country began to deal with Hualan with a gentle policy, trying to create divisions and weaken the opponent's national strength. Naturally, the first thing they took a fancy to was those powerful figures.

Chapter 766 Anfu Club

Duan Ruiquan always sought to control the entire Hualan in order to restore the strength of the Northern Region government during Yuan Kai's time, but at this time Feng Guofu was holding him back, insisting on reconciliation with the Southwest Warlords, and was unwilling to resume the civil war.The conflict between the Zhi and Anhui lines became increasingly acute because of the inconsistency of the leaders' thinking. Under such circumstances, Duan Ruiquan decided to join the Wa Kingdom.

Under the matchmaking of Prime Minister Yuan Jing's friend Nishihara Kamezo, as early as a year ago, the First Bank of Japan secretly sent a loan to Duan Ruiquan as funds for him to seize the national power.The loans given by the White Eagle Kingdom are supervised by special personnel and used for domestic economic construction. There are people from the White Eagle Kingdom involved in it, and Duan Ruiquan cannot embezzle it.

The loan given by the Wa Kingdom is different. The two parties signed an agreement in secret, and all the funds will flow directly into the pockets of the Anhui Department, allowing them to spend as they please.Duan Ruiquan also reciprocated the generous conditions given by the Wa Kingdom, and mortgaged many domestic minerals.

From then on, Duan Ruiquan, who had sufficient funds in his hand, began to instruct Jin Yunpeng, Wang Yitang and others to recruit politicians to establish a neutralization club.Thanks to the efforts of many Anhui politicians, the Zhonghe Club was finally established on March 1917, 3. It is composed of 27 political groups including Youren Society, Constitutional Council, and Su Yuan.

At the beginning of 1918, more and more politicians from Anhui Province came and went to Liang Zhai in Anfu Hutong, and began to discuss the issue of congressional elections.Not long after Zhao Shouhong looted all the treasures of the Gaul Kingdom, Anhui politicians Wang Yitang, Zeng Yujun and others moved the meeting place to Liang Shitang's residence in Anfu Hutong in Xuanwumen.

On the evening of March 1918, 3, Wang Yitang, Wang Yinchuan, Liu Enge, Huang Yunpeng, Tian Yinghuang, Xie Shuqiang, Jiang Shaojie and others held a meeting in Liangzhai, and finally decided to change the name of Zhonghe Club to Anfu Club.

The bigwigs from Anhui made a circle. They used this party-like organization to use the name of the club to carry out activities in the name of the club, and they did not use the name of the party to the outside world.The Anhui politicians did this for a reason, because after Yuan Kai disbanded the National Congress Party, the political party was tabooed by the government, and the Chou Anhui was criticized by the people of the country, so they did not dare to appear as a political party.Later, they used the name of an ordinary club as a cover, and their work went much smoother and less noticeable.

Jin Yunpeng and others were not stingy with money, invited banquets and invited prostitutes in the name of Liang Zhai in Anfu Hutong, solicited politicians from all over the place, and cheered for the Anhui faction.In order to attract more politicians from all sides and strengthen the power of the Anfu Club, Duan Ruiquan even mobilized more than 1700 million Japanese yen in subsequent loans from Nishihara's loan, and used it for the National Assembly and the subsequent presidential election.

We have money, but how to use it is a science, and this is what Jin Yunpeng is best at.First of all, he distributed the military expenses withheld from the Army to politicians who joined the Anfu Club with a monthly stipend of 300 yuan.Secondly, the politicians who come to the Anfu Club can eat and drink for nothing, so they must have fun.Third, for obedient members, promise to give them various titles in the Congress in the future, and then give each person monthly funds ranging from 200 to 1000 yuan as rewards.

The allure of money is huge. With these three steps as a guarantee, even many members of the National Congress have joined the Anfu Club.Jin Yunpeng quickly recruited a large number of politicians, and his political power was the same for a while.He is very clear about the growing influence of the Anhui faction. In the final analysis, the ability to call wind and rain is just a word of money.

Under the Anfu Club, there are a staff department, a council, and a government affairs research association.The secretary department is headed by Wang Yitang. It is divided into five classes: clerkship, communication, accounting, general affairs, and entertainment.The chairman of the council is Tian Yinghuang, and the chairman of the Political Affairs Research Association is Li Shengduo.

The Anfu Club gathered more and more politicians, and it quickly established a rudimentary form of the entire official system of a country, establishing an invisible government agency.The president of the Political Affairs Research Association is equivalent to the Prime Minister, and the chiefs and deputy chiefs of each department are equivalent to the deputy chiefs of the ministries.The research association system is particularly complete, and any major proposal must be voted on at the meeting before it can be made a resolution of the Anfu Club.After the decision is made, all members of the Ministry of Security and Welfare should advocate unanimously in both houses of Congress.

The restoration of history is amazing. After Xu Shuzheng, who originally controlled the Anfu Club, was transferred to the Western Continent to fight because he led the army, his position was replaced by Jin Yunpeng, who was also scheming.However, Jin Yunpeng's method seems to be even better. He began to frame those Anfu politicians in various ways.

For the politicians of this era, wine, sex and wealth are all they pursue. As for those who pursue some republican ideals, there may be people, but such people will definitely not appear in the Anfu Club.Jin Yunpeng manipulated his subordinates and used various methods to catch these politicians' pigtails.

When those politicians were threatened by blackmail and turned around in a hurry, Jin Yunpeng stepped forward to suppress the situation himself.While making those politicians grateful, Jin Yunpeng also collected a lot of materials enough to control those politicians.Under the manipulation of Jin Yunpeng, the cohesion of the Anfu club is stronger than in history.

Compared with Jin Yunpeng's method of establishing the Anfu Club, Feng Guofu's direct relationship is much worse.He relied on the research department led by Tang Hualong, hoping to compete with the Anfu Club in the new Congress, but the result surprised him greatly.

In August 1918, the second National Congress of Hualan Republic began to hold elections. Because the Anfu Club completely controlled the election, the Anfu Club monopolized 8 seats in the list of newly elected 330 members, becoming a veritable controller of the Congress.The results of the research department were very poor, they only won [-] seats.

As soon as the election results came out, Feng Guofu knew that his hope of becoming a full-time president from the interim president was completely dead.In order to gain a good reputation, Feng Guofu immediately announced a press conference.At the reception, he said heartbrokenly that he had been serving as interim president for a year, doing nothing and doing nothing.Therefore, he announced again that he would not run for the next presidency, and he immediately announced that the presidency would be temporarily handed over to Congress, and he would take office after a new president was elected.

Feng Guofu saved his face by retreating, but he will not let Duan Ruiquan become the president easily.Although the War of Protecting the Law has ended, the Northern Territory Army is still in a tense confrontation with the Northwest Warlords. It is well known that Duan Ruiquan has not given up the idea of ​​armed unity.

Just a few days after Feng Guofu announced his disarmament and return to the fields, the governors of the various provinces directly connected signed a telegram, claiming to support peace and opposing any move to change the status quo by force.The meaning of direct relationship is obvious. Don't you, Duan Ruiquan, want to unify by force?This time we quit. If you want to become president and engage in military reunification, we will stand by and watch.

Chapter 767 Take the initiative to send troops

At the same time, Tang Jisheng, Lu Rongting and others of the Southwest Warlords also issued a statement, supporting the direct line warlords to electrify, calling on the government to face up to the legitimate rights and interests of local governments, and not to use force to harm the people.

Unexpectedly, after Feng Guofu resigned from the stage, he would put himself on the same side, Duan Ruiquan felt very angry.If he really becomes the president, he will indeed implement the national policy of unification by force, but now that the Zhili and the Southwest Warlords are joining forces, it is tantamount to making his words clear.If Duan Ruiquan becomes president, they are likely to jointly counterattack, and it is still unknown who will win the battle.

Duan Ruiquan knew very well that the Anhui faction had sent a large number of troops to join the war, and had mobilized too many elite soldiers. If he acted rashly at this time, he might be knocked out by the Zhili and Southwest Warlords.What's more, no matter how tense the domestic situation is, Duan Ruiquan has never forgotten that there is an extremely powerful Zhao Shouhong by his side.

The power of the Western Special Zone is growing, and Duan Ruiquan, who has never been able to complete the unification of the East, has nothing to do about it.Now he is like a gambler who has lost his eyes. Although he knows that the final outcome may not be satisfactory, but because he has invested too many chips, he cannot help but continue to gamble.

Today's Duan Ruiquan knows very well that if he becomes the president, even if he does not carry out military reunification, the other two factions may preemptively strike.At that time, even if Duan Ruiquan wants to explain, and is willing to coexist peacefully with the other party, it will be impossible.The only way to stabilize the two forces is to make a gesture, a gesture of compromise with them.

Based on such considerations, Duan Ruiquan finally did not dare to take on the role of the great president himself.In order to express his determination to make peace, Duan Ruiquan announced that he would retire with Feng Guofu, relinquish the post of prime minister, and hand over the presidency, the ostensibly highest position in the country, to Xu Haichang, a highly respected veteran of the Northern Territory Department.

Xu Haichang's appointment was nothing more than the result of a compromise between all parties. In fact, the secret war between the two sides became more and more intense.In order to contain the forces of the Zhili, Duan Ruiquan began to discuss with Feng Guofu, hoping that the Zhili could occupy a certain share of the last batch of 20 participating troops.

How could Feng Guofu not know Duan Ruiquan's thoughts, once the troops of Anhui and Zhili were drawn too much, the two sides would be able to achieve a balance of power.Feng Guofu was always envious of the participating troops who were armed by the White Eagle Kingdom. When these experienced troops returned home, they must be strong and strong, and they would definitely become the backbone.

Seeing the Anhui faction's armies go to the battlefield, Feng Guofu was very anxious. In his opinion, once the war is over and these troops return to the country, the Anhui faction will become an existence that can compete with the West Special Army, and the direct branch will be completely reduced to second-rate up.Now Duan Ruiquan's proposal can be said to be exactly what he wanted, but Feng Guofu hesitated about the request of direct troops to send [-] troops.

It is good to train an iron army, but you can't abandon the foundation of the country. There are not many troops under the direct control. Once they are completely emptied, I am afraid that even the original territory will be lost.According to Feng Guofu's plan, let Cao Kun lead the third division to go out, and then recruit strong men to form some new recruits. A maximum of 5 people will be able to support the sky.

Under Duan Ruiquan's repeated request, although Feng Guofu agreed to send troops, he killed Zhili and only dispatched 5 troops.Duan Ruiquan had nothing to do about it. He dispatched 5 people from the direct line, and only the Anhui line was left.However, there are not enough soldiers and horses in Anhui now. If 15 people are transferred, even if most of them are recruited young men, it will be enough to cause headaches.

Just when Duan Ruiquan planned to recruit more strong men regardless of the combat effectiveness of the army to make up the number, Gu Weijun found him.

"Prime Minister Duan, I have something to talk to you about." Now Gu Weijun just bowed slightly when he saw Duan Ruiquan, just like the ministers of various countries do.Duan Ruiquan did not correct this almost arrogant behavior, so when he saw the representatives of the Western Special Zone, his mental pressure was not much different from that of meeting the ministers of the great powers.

In fact, Duan Ruiquan was even more afraid of seeing Gu Weijun. After all, the great powers were still far away from Hualan, and their threat to the government was far lower than that of the Western Special Zone, which was close at hand.Even when the domestic battle was the most tense, the Anhui Department placed the most elite Fourth Division in Zhangjiakou, just because they were afraid that the West Special Army would suddenly attack Beihua City.

Seeing Gu Weijun smiling all over his face, Duan Ruiquan felt uneasy. "What do you want from me? Is the Western Special Zone going to establish a new province?" Duan Ruiquan asked tentatively.

"Of course not. I came here this time to solve problems for the Prime Minister." Although Gu Weijun always had a smile on his face when he spoke, Duan Ruiquan felt that there was a hint of conspiracy in that smile no matter how he saw it.

"I don't know what the Western Special Zone is going to do?" Duan Ruiquan said with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

Gu Weijun said seriously: "I heard that Hualan's army is short of soldiers, and the third batch of personnel has not been fully recruited. I wonder if the Western Special Zone can join?"

"This..." Duan Ruiquan was a little dazed, he didn't know what Zhao Shouhong was thinking.In the past, it was firmly opposed to sending troops, and the Western Special Zone did not participate. Suddenly, it took a 180-degree turn and became active sending troops to participate.

Seeing Duan Ruiquan in a daze, Gu Weijun said again: "The special zone intends to send [-] troops, and at the same time it is suggested that the Jiaozhi Army also send [-] troops."

"What?" Duan Ruiquan looked up at Gu Weijun in surprise.If there is any scruples between the Zhiwan and Anhui factions other than infighting, it is the powerful Southwest Warlords.Although the Western Special Zone is powerful, it always fights against the outside world, and takes an indifferent attitude towards the civil wars of all parties in the country.

Although the local economy of the Southwest Warlords is not comparable to that of the Central Plains and Jiangnan, they have an iron army capable of fighting well.Cai Songpo himself had superb commanding skills and was also a defender of democratic republic politics, so he always threatened the rule of the Northern Territory government.

The economy of the two provinces of Jiaogui and Guizhou is not too strong to support a large number of troops for a long time. Therefore, after the Dharma Protection War, the Jiaozhi Department cut down the troops to three divisions with a scale of 6 people.If one-third of its troops can be mobilized this time, the Cochin Department can lose most of its offensive capabilities.
