Respectfully

The flames of war that had been burning for four years and three months were suddenly extinguished. In this war that spread to the entire world, the victorious and defeated countries in Europe also suffered huge losses.The national treasury is short of money, the industry is in decline, the agricultural output is reduced, and the people's life is difficult.The transition of wartime military industry to civilian use is another difficult problem facing all countries.The arsenal stopped production, and some workers were bound to face unemployment. In less than a month after the end of the war, two strike demonstrations broke out in France.

If it is too late to taste the fruits of victory, it will face troubles one after another, and the French government will suffer.Britain is slightly stronger than France, and its colonies all over the world are enough to provide Great Britain with the nutrients it needs to recover its economy.

Germany established the Weimar government, but was ostracized by the military.The German troops who retreated from the battlefield felt betrayed when they saw that all the government officials signed the armistice agreement.

Most soldiers believed that Germany was not defeated, and they were fully capable of continuing to fight against the Allied forces. It was the cowardly cowardice of the newly established interim government that made Germany face the current predicament.This kind of thinking, accompanied by the harsh conditions and huge reparations set by the Allies after the war, intensified in Germany, and also contributed to the eventual rise of the Nazis and the mustache heads of state.

The only two to benefit from the war are the United States and China.

The industrial productivity of the two countries has doubled, especially in Huaxia, where a large number of new export-oriented factories have emerged. In addition to light industry, mining, smelting, shipbuilding, machinery and other industries have also achieved considerable development.

During World War I, China built the first car, the first [-]-ton freighter, and the first submarine.

During the war, the United States became a creditor country of Britain and France, but China did not provide loans to other countries. It seems that it has little interest in competing for "world hegemony". , After the war, naturally there is no need to worry about the transformation of the enterprise.

For a certain period of time, European countries whose economies have been destroyed by the war still need to import a large amount of goods. With the development of the domestic economy, domestic demand will further increase, and Huaxia's factories don't have to worry about losing business immediately.Some factories may be eliminated or merged, but this is not all a bad thing. Competition is also a catalyst for economic development.

After the establishment of the new Congress, a number of decisions were considered and passed, one of which was the issuance of banknotes.

Judging from the momentum of China's economic development, it is out of date to continue to use metal currency.Many economic scholars have seen this.After the bill was submitted to Congress, it was discussed and passed by a vote.

Li Jinyan received a telegram from President Lou Da, even if it hurts, he loaded part of the gold stored in the official bank of the six northern provinces on the train as quickly as possible, and was escorted to Beijing by soldiers with live ammunition.Ren Wuchu went with the car, and before leaving, Li Jinyan revealed some news about "Kolchak Gold" to him.The semantics were somewhat vague, but Ren Wuchu grasped the point.

"Hundred tons?"

"Well, it's probably this." Li Jinyan spread out five fingers, "But we can only arrange it after the young commander comes back."

"Speak less, tell me the truth." Ren Wuchu's expression was very serious, "What's going on? Could it be the young commander who robbed the treasuries of European countries?"

"How is that possible." Li Jinyan quickly waved his hands, "Those foreigners can run horses in the national treasury. Even if the young marshal wants to do something, he has to have the money to grab it."

"That……"

"Anyway, as long as Mr. Ren knows what's going on, he should also remind my uncle. Before the matter is done, we will keep it secret for the time being."

Ren Wuchu nodded and did not continue to ask further questions.He made up his mind that he should really discuss it with Bai Baoqi. With this batch of gold, there are more things that can be operated.

At the end of November, the Chinese Expeditionary Force set off from Europe and returned home.Many soldiers were away for a year, homesick, and wished they could get on the boat before sailing to Huaxia.

At this time, the Allied Powers were already discussing the issue of "dividends" after the war. After receiving a telegram from Marshal Lou, Zhan Changqing immediately left for France to take over several young people and deal with Britain, France and the Americans.

On the day when the Chinese Expeditionary Force set off, among those who saw them off were many high-ranking coalition forces, the British commander-in-chief Haig, the French commander-in-chief Manjean, the commander-in-chief of the American expeditionary force Pershing, and the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Marshal Foch. Come, entrust Mang Rang to pay tribute to the young generals of Huaxia.

After the war, the coalition forces "rewarded for meritorious service". In addition to commending military ranks, medals at all levels were also distributed in batches like carrots.Not to mention a few young marshals, just being the head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Army, the battle medal awarded can be said to be fighting.Except on the day of the award, Chinese soldiers rarely wore these medals on their bodies.

In addition to the soldiers seeing off, there were also many well-dressed ladies and ladies on the pier, as well as a large number of reporters.

The spotlights kept ringing, and the smell of the perfume was so strong that it was "smoky".The Huaxia soldiers boarded the ship neatly, and the young generals walked very quickly and vigorously. From saying goodbye to the officers who saw off the coalition army to boarding the ship, they didn't look back, as if they were hiding from something.

Recalling the horrible smell of perfume, not only the young commanders, but also the soldiers who were closer could not help sneezing.

In December, Second Sister Xu arrived in Moscow and got in touch with the Chinese intelligence personnel lurking there.

Immediately afterwards, Kazan also sent a telegram back from St. Petersburg, saying that Vladimir's health had problems. In order to balance the power among the upper Soviets, Trotsky once again became the closest "comrade-in-arms" of the revolutionary mentor.Stalin is also more and more appreciated, and Kirov, who replaced Trotsky as the founder of the Soviet Army, Vladimir believes that he has laid a solid foundation for the stability of the Soviet regime.

As for the problems that cannot be solved by fair means, the Cheka is not a decoration.

Grand Duchess Takyana, who was crowned as the Tsar, still looked sad.Everything they had suffered before, plus the crown prince's hemophilia, made the siblings extremely wary of anyone except Elena.

"Faithful Elena, she must be an angel sent by God."

The Grand Duchess Takyana had great trust in Irina, and she did not avoid her when talking about gold with Kolchak.Takyana, on the contrary, felt more "safe" with Elena in the room.

After that night full of gunshots, bloodshed, and the screams of relatives, Elena became the only driftwood that Takyana could hold on to.

"The gold is in Kazan." Tsar Nicholas II was once the richest monarch in Europe, leaving behind a considerable fortune.In addition to domestic gold, there are also huge deposits and precious stones in Swiss banks. Takyana did not hesitate to hand over this batch of gold to Kolchak.All she did was to revive the Romanov dynasty and avenge the rebels.

Elena listened quietly, but a long memory appeared in her mind.

When she was a child, she often heard her parents talk about her ancestors. Kazan once belonged to the Tatars. 300 years ago, the Russians defeated their army, broke into their home, occupied their land, and killed them. family...

His eyes were lowered, his father's sigh seemed to be echoing in his ears, and the warmth of his mother's palm still remained on the top of his hair.

The young Yi Lianna only regarded everything her parents said as a story, which had long been obliterated by the years.When everything in the story suddenly came to her tribe, all the beauty and tranquility were instantly wiped out.

The calm and dignified maid caught Kolchak's attention.Unlike Takyana, Kolchak is a soldier, and his life on the battlefield made him have a higher perception of danger than ordinary people.

He sensed a hint of danger from this girl.In just a moment, it disappeared without a trace.

Kolchak thought it was an illusion. After all, this girl was trusted by the royal family.

Kazan, located east of Moscow, was an important industrial city in Tsarist Russia.If you want to get gold from the Kazan treasury, you must attack Moscow.After leaving the room, Kolchak summoned the most trusted officers, and in order to avoid leaks, a detailed plan must be made.

Not only the White Army and the officer corps that supported the royal family were entrenched in West Siberia, but also the Allied Intervention Army that had withdrawn from the war.Britain, France, the United States, Poland and other countries have all sent troops not long ago.Japan also wanted to get involved, but it was stifled by the double troubles at home and abroad.

Kolchak set the time to attack Moscow in late January, and it will take time to organize the army and mobilize supplies.Before he arrived in Omsk, the various departments of the White Army were simply a mess and a mob.The officers are incompetent, the soldiers are slack, and the Cossacks can fight, but they are also out-and-out thorns.Commanding such an army, winning battles is not generally difficult.

If he wanted to successfully conquer Moscow and obtain the batch of gold from the Kazan treasury, the first thing Kolchak had to do was to "rule the army".

During Kolchak's rule of the army, Li Jinyan got the exact news of Jin, and Marshal Lou also arrived at Qingdao Port.

Logically speaking, Young Marshal Lou was supposed to go to Beijing to report to President Lou Da, but in the end there was only a concise telegram to Beijing, and he himself had already returned to Guanbei by train.

After receiving the telegram, President Lou Da had nothing but helplessness. In the end, he could only pat his bald head, "Damn it, you bastard!"

Mrs. Lou heard the news of Young Marshal Lou's return, she recited Amitabha three times, and her mother was worried when her son traveled thousands of miles, let alone going to a foreign country to fight.

Several other young marshals also led the troops back to the province. The date of the military parade was set in March, and more than a month was enough for them to rest.After more than a year of artillery baptism, what these soldiers want to do most at this moment is not to accept the cheers of the crowd, but to go home.

Tell my family, I'm back.

Young Marshal Lou did not take the special train, and the reporters who wanted to get first-hand news could only wait at the Guanbei Railway Station.

Finally, when the train came into the station, everyone was refreshed.The car door opened, and a row of murderous soldiers came down, followed by officers with strips on their shoulders, and finally Lou Xiao, who was dressed in military uniform and looked even taller.

Under the brim of the black hat, a pair of dark eyes seemed to be hiding the blades. Wherever they swept, they felt that their hands and feet were going to be frozen.

The "temperature difference" around Marshal Lou discouraged the reporters who were "full of fighting spirit" before.

Marshal Lou strode forward with his long legs, and the crowd automatically parted ways. It wasn't until he was far away that only one figure remained behind. Come the police.

The opportunity was missed, and the reporters could only beat their chests and regret it.

Outside the station, a black car was parked by the side of the road with its windows rolled down, revealing a pair of smiling eyes.

"Young commander, you're back."

Lieutenant Ji, who was two steps behind, clearly felt that the temperature around the Young Marshal began to rise.

"Big brother."

The car door opened, Li Jinyan was sitting next to Lou Er Shao, his small body was very straight.

Marshal Lou paused, and the temperature plummeted by five degrees.

The car door was closed, Adjutant Ji touched his nose, looked at each other with the soldiers behind him, and was about to "self-relief", when the car window was rolled down again, Li Jinyan poked his head out of the car, "Behind."

Only then did Adjutant Ji and the others see that there were two cars parked on the side of the road.

No words, good man!

When the car arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, Mr. Bai and several old gentlemen were looking at the paintings in the living room. These were the last batch of cultural relics sent by Ned from Europe. Among them, some paintings from the Song Dynasty made the old gentlemen fondle admiringly.

"Grandfather."

Young Marshal Lou stepped forward, took off his military cap, and bowed to the old gentlemen.

In front of Bai Lao, he is not a soldier, nor is he a illustrious young marshal, but just a junior.

"came back."

Bai Lao nodded with a calm expression, and Ran Lao smiled and said: "The mountain man has been waiting here for a long time, and he is also absent-minded when looking at the painting."

"Cough!" Old Bai coughed, and several other old gentlemen laughed at the same time. Marshal Lou still stood upright with a respectful attitude. Li Jinyan held the little leopard's fat paw. Should he "retreat" with the little leopard or stay behind? Down?

Before dinner, several old gentlemen left one after another. After the meal, Elder Bai and Marshal Lou talked in the study room. Second Young Master Lou went to bed early after taking a walk to digest food. Li Jinyan sat alone in the room in a daze.

The books on the table were spread out for a long time, but he didn't read a single word.With one hand supporting his chin, the whole person is in a state of emptiness.

The girls are used to Li Jinyan's seemingly "contemplative" state, but in fact he is "absent". They serve tea, close the door, embroider and roast chestnuts, what to do.Hearing the sound of footsteps, he looked up and saw that it was Young Marshal Lou. Just as he was about to make a sound, Young Marshal Lou had already pushed open the bedroom door and strode in.

The sound of footsteps made Li Jinyan return to "reality" from "contemplation".

Raising his head, Young Marshal Lou had already walked behind him, put his arm over his shoulder, and turned over the pages of the book that had not been moved for a long time, "Are you looking at Xunzi?"

"En." Li Jinyan squeezed his ears, "Grandfather let me see."

"The country is a great tool in the world, and a heavy responsibility." The deep voice was getting closer, and the warm breath brushed behind the ears, cold but fascinating, "Do you have any experience?"

"Young commander," Li Jinyan said without turning his head, his voice was very calm, "You want to discuss knowledge with me?"

"No?"

"Yes." Listen carefully, it seems that you can hear the sound of teeth grinding, "In this case?"

As he said that, he took a big hand that had been stuck into his shirt, pulled it out, turned his head, and looked at Young Marshal Lou with a blank expression, discussing like this?

Letting Li Jinyan hold his wrist, Lou Xiao grabbed Li Jinyan's waist with one arm, and easily picked him up from the chair, "Why not?"

Li Sanshao: "..." Going to Europe to hone not only military and political skills, but also face?

After a few seconds of silence, Li Jinyan suddenly put his arms around Young Marshal Lou's neck and blocked his lips.

Isn't it "unorthodox"?Who is afraid of whom!

There was the sound of buttons cracking and cloth being torn, accompanied by one or two unintelligible gasps, the skin touched the soft quilt, and the instant coolness quickly turned into scorching heat.

Eyes are black as if it could obliterate people, beads of sweat slipped down the jaw and neck, tearing off the collar of the military uniform shirt, you can see the rolling Adam's apple, biting it like a demon...

Everything is no longer under his control.

Li Jinyan admired himself very much, he still did not forget to mention the matter of gold to Young Marshal Lou before he was about to pass out from the torment.

The most direct consequence was that he was tortured for the fourth time.

The next day, Li Jinyan did not show up for breakfast at the Marshal's Mansion.Old Bai shook his head, looking at Young Marshal Lou, he felt that he hated iron but steel, Young Marshal Lou took it calmly, Second Young Master Lou sipped his porridge silently.

Li Jinyan was bedridden, and the person who sent Second Young Master Lou to school was replaced by Young Master Lou.

In front of the gate of Zidi Primary School, Second Young Master Lou said goodbye to Young Marshal Lou "meticulously" with a sullen face.

"Brother, let's go."

"En." Young Marshal Lou in military uniform stood in front of Little Leopard with his hands behind his back, "I'll pick you up after school."

Lou Er Shao nodded, turned around, and walked into the campus. For some reason, a sentence that Old Professor Bai said when he was "officially thick and black" appeared in his mind: "The so-called blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly... At this time, then Like five thunderbolts."

The little leopard's footsteps immediately fluttered.

If Li Jinyan was present, he would definitely teach Lou Ershao a sentence carefully, that idioms should not be used indiscriminately.

On January [-]th, the victorious nations held a peace conference in Paris. To put it mildly, it was to rebuild the post-war order and maintain world peace. To put it bluntly, it was purely for the victorious nation’s dividend and distribution of spoils.

In the previous preparatory meeting, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Italy and China were designated as "belligerent countries with general interests" and could participate in all meetings during the peace meeting. That is to say, the five countries can cut any cake that can be divided piece.

Countries such as Belgium and Serbia, which also made great efforts for the war, can only express their opinions on issues related to their own countries.Other Latin American countries that broke off diplomatic relations with Germany, or followed the United States in declaring war on the Allies, were allowed to speak even if they were invited to participate in the meeting, but did not have any voting rights.The questions they raised are only counted if the Five Nations nod their heads.

As for Japan, instead of becoming one of the countries that can dominate the conference as in history, it was submitted to the "judgment seat" by the United States.

Within the "tolerable" time, Japan failed to explain the attacks on merchant ships and the Philippines, and the American media followed closely. President Wilson, who participated in the peace conference, was also questioned by Congress during his short return to China.After returning to Paris, he directly proposed that Japan be included in the "collusion with Germany" party.If it weren't for the lack of more tangible evidence, [-]% of the Japanese representatives participating in the peace conference would be kicked out of the Palace of Versailles directly, and they would be accompanied by German negotiators who could only pass notes outside.

The Paris Peace Conference was initially based on Wilson's [-]-point program. However, during the consultation process, the contradictions among countries were difficult to coordinate. Soon, the [-]-point peace principle was thrown aside, and practical interests were more important than idealism. important!

At the same time, war broke out in Soviet Russia, which was not invited to the peace conference. Kolchak's White Army marched into Moscow. Kirov was ordered to lead the army to fight against Kolchak, and Kazan also led a division to join the war. fought.

Second Sister Xu and three Chinese intelligence officers also started to act. Their task was to keep an eye on the gold delivery team going to the Kazan treasury.

A major event also happened in North Korea. The former king of North Korea, Lee Hee, died suddenly.No one believed this reason.

Before, he was still alive and kicking and flirting with the resistance organization, but he died in a blink of an eye?

It must have been done by the Japanese!

People in North Korea are excited, and the March [-]st Anti-Japanese Uprising is likely to break out ahead of schedule.The third division stationed in Sinuiju was ordered to provide "help" to the suffering North Korean people when necessary.

On February [-], the White Army captured Moscow and most of the Soviet Army was defeated.The division led by Kazan was in charge of the rear, and after fierce fighting, began to retreat east of Moscow.

On the same day, Zhan Changqing, who was at the Paris Peace Conference, received a telegram from China. He changed his previous attitude of being a spectator, and formally participated in the battle for the dividends of the victorious countries, and submitted a proposal on the "Japan issue".

At this time, the course of history took another turn.
