own weakness.

Not only his own weakness - but also the weakness and vulnerability of the whole country!

"With your words, I won't bother you." Zhang Zhicheng grinned, really couldn't stand his half-dead appearance.Obviously, even if Lin Xuehuai surrendered to the enemy, he did not vote thoroughly, which made him feel even more unhappy.How could Lin Xuehuai, a bitch who set up an archway, be the president, but why can't he be so loyal to the Dongying people?

He was slandering, and of course Lin Xuehuai was not idle.When he thought that he was going to join forces with a shameless person like Zhang Zhicheng, he felt disgusted and sad from the bottom of his heart.Back then, he always taught others to cherish their homeland, but now...

After Zhang Zhicheng left, Jin Yaozong trotted over from behind the screen.Lin Xuehuai's dejected appearance made Jin Yaozong feel that he was a bit pitiful, but Jin Yaozong had always been heartless, so he touched his face heartlessly and said loudly: "What are you worried about? This is not a good thing!"

"Go away!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuehuai suddenly threw away his hand viciously, with despair shining in her eyes.Jin Yaozong stared blankly at his ferocious appearance, then ran away crying loudly.

Floating weeds in troubled times ([-])

Although Liangzhou is the capital of the Southwest Military Government, in terms of geographical location, it is actually the closest place to the inland in the entire Southwest region.While Chen Xining and his army retreated all the way to the southwest, Shen Changhe, who had settled all matters in the northwest, also rushed back.

In this way, the leaders of the two major forces fighting against Japan in the United States today officially met.

"Oh! Brother Shen, I've seen you for a long time. It's a pleasure to meet you!" Chen Xining strode forward enthusiastically, and took his hand: "Brother Yu often talked about it when he was still in Beijing. Heroes like you, brother That’s why we must have a good meeting and talk over wine!”

"Mr. President, this way please." Facing the embarrassingly hypocritical Chen Xining, Shen Changhe could only sigh from the bottom of his heart, and led him into the general's mansion without being humble on the surface.

For the next whole day, the two parties sat down and had a long talk of "deep and simple".After talking a lot of meaningless nonsense, Chen Xining first cut to the point: "Brother, to tell you the truth, Brother Yu came this time not only to strategically retreat to the rear to preserve strength and plan to fight again, but also a more important thing. The reason—oh, brother, don’t think I’m bothering you.”

Shen Changhe already had the answer in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face: "All ears."

"Brother Shen must have heard about it too," Chen Xining sighed, "Lin Xuehuai, the puppet government of Shangjing, has joined forces with that bastard Zhang Zhicheng. Under Lin Xuehuai's command, the General Staff Headquarters of the Guanyuan Army has unified command and dispatch, intending to deal with us..."

"I know."

Shen Changhe interrupted a series of foreshadowings that he might say next, and said bluntly: "I have already thought about this matter, Mr. President." After a pause, he smiled again, and said solemnly: "In the face of a national crisis, if the President really needs it, Shen can hand over all the power of Southwest military command and dispatch to the central *government."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Chen Xining himself, but also all the military and political officials present were shocked.But Chen Xining is not an idiot, after a little deliberation, he can guess that Shen Changhe's words are telling him in disguise:

"I know what you want to do, but you dare not, and you don't have the ability."

Chen Xining did not dare, nor did he have such great strength and appetite.The family of the military government in the Southwest has a big business, and Shen Changhe is the local emperor here. What doves do he use to occupy the magpie's nest as an outsider?Furthermore, even if all the Southwest Army is handed over to him now, if it is really time to fight against the Japanese devils, without Shen Changhe's dispatch and command, he will not even be able to exert one-tenth of the strength of these troops.

So, at least until now, Shen Changhe is still very useful.

In the end, the two sides reached a consensus: the military system and military command power will remain unchanged, but Shen Changhe himself must formally accept the appointment of the Central Government; in addition, all ministries under the Southwest Military Government must accept the reformation party *Supervision by the agency—that is to say, he will be an official of the Restoration Government in the future, and the Restoration Government has the right to remove and replace him at any time, and his "retainers" are no longer his retainers.To put it bluntly, local self-government has become centralized, and the next step is to take away Shen Changhe's real power: in the name of fighting against Japan, it is actually an opportunity to weaken his control over the southwest region.

—— Between the civil war and the foreign war, which one is the main one and which one is the second is also a question that changes over time.

After dealing with the government, Shen Changhe really became a "idleman".Chen Xining is good at and loves to play tricks, but he is not.It's not that he doesn't know the art of scheming, but he is too lazy to study and care about who to install or remove, so he simply doesn't hinder Chen Xining's eyes anymore.

He was free here, but Chen Xining was 1 worried about him, and sent special agents to watch his movements all the time.However, no matter how diligently the spies followed, they were eventually lost for a while——

Of course, in order not to be severely punished, when these spies reported the situation, this paragraph was specially understated.Therefore, the news Chen Xining knew was only that Shen Changhe went to Suiyang to see a doctor and recuperate for more than half a month, and then returned to Liangzhou to continue to "care for the elderly".

"What did he do after he came back?" Chen Xining asked with a frown.Zhao Peng, director of the Supervision Department, said truthfully: "After Shen Changhe came back, he didn't do any serious business, so..."

"What are you hesitating for? Speak directly." Chen Xining has always been harsh to others in private, and his tone has always been cold and ruthless.Zhao Peng wiped the sweat off his face, and finally said something that he didn't believe——

"...he went to the ballroom."

"Ballroom" can be regarded as an imported product that came across the ocean. In the past few years, it has taken root and grown rapidly in Qin State, and it seems to have a tendency to replace brothels.In the final analysis, it is nothing more than an open brothel like a brothel, at most the former sounds less straightforward than the latter.

The Cirrus Ballroom originally started in the southeast coastal area. In recent years, due to the high economic development of the southwest, the increasing cultural openness and the frequent wars in the southeast, many entertainment industries have moved to the southwest."Xianlusi" located in Liangzhou is a typical example.

Cirrus is a very "international" ballroom. This "internationalization" is reflected in the fact that its "staff" come from all over the world, and its guests are from all over the world; and it is best known for its Russian clubs in Kievan Russia. dancers.

Five years ago, a revolution broke out in the Kievan Rus Empire. A new political party called the "Socialist Party" took control of the state power and transformed the Kievan Rus Empire into the "Kievan Rus Federal Republic". As a result, the old nobles fled to Other countries—Qin as a neighboring country are naturally among them.

The people of Kievan Rus are pure-bred Caucasians. Although they have different hair colors, they are basically blue-eyed or blue-eyed. In terms of appearance, they are actually between the yellow and white races, which is more in line with the aesthetics of the Qin people; Therefore, almost every guest who "comes here for fame" must order a beautiful Russian dancer to accompany him to show his power and status:

Playing with a powerful Caucasian woman is enough to make a weak yellow man feel "proud" of his "ability" from the bottom of his heart-Qin people are no exception.

Sophia Ivanovna Ivanova is such a Russian woman who has the background of the old Kievan Rus noble family and is now living under the hedge of others in a foreign country.To be precise, she is not a complete Russian: although her father is a Kievan Rus nobleman, her mother is indeed a native of Qin.

As a mixed race, she inherited all the advantages of both parents' looks: cold white skin, three-dimensional facial features, and a slender figure.Her hair is slightly light brown with natural curls, and it is often dazzling red under the sun; her eyes are very clean amber, with a little childish innocence.Different from other enthusiastic and unrestrained purebred Russian women, she is as introverted as a traditional Qin woman who really does not go out of the family, and therefore has always been excluded by other "compatriots" at the edge of the ethnic group.

Today's Cirrus is no different from the past, feasting and feasting, extravagant and prosperous.The gentle and honest dancer Sophia stood on the stage as usual, singing the famous song "Yangzhou Night" by the famous star Zhou Zishu.When she sang, she glanced aimlessly around the audience as usual, and was immediately attracted by the man sitting in the last row.

This man was wearing a neat dark gray suit vest with a white shirt inside and no tie. His hair was the most common haircut for men nowadays.His skin was as pale as snow, and his face was so glamorous that it was difficult for her to judge his real age immediately. She could only guess that he was somewhere between late youth and early middle age. scene.When she was singing on the stage, he was talking coldly to a fashionable modern girl in the audience, completely ignoring the latter crying and making noise, so he naturally changed his seat and sat down, and then he was alone. Pour yourself a drink.

He just poured the wine, but didn't take a sip—until she finished singing, he finally drank the first glass of wine in his hand.

After the song is over, the other guests start to look for a suitable dancer like a male animal in estrus, and prepare to spend the spring night together, so
