In the spacious private room, everyone had a cup of tea in front of them, sipping it carefully and exchanging relaxed and pleasant words. Counselor Lu Fengqian had positioned himself well, and only intervened when the conversation reached an awkward stage.

He eased his emotions by talking about some light topics and allowed the conversation to proceed smoothly. At other times, Lu Feng just ate, drank and listened.

Seeing that everyone was talking very smoothly, Lu Feng waited calmly without any thought of speaking. He then heard Wang Shizhen say: "General He won the first battle. In my opinion, Japan will definitely counterattack with all its strength in the future, and the fierce attack will be like a violent storm."

Wang Shizhen's appearance is not outstanding, and now he looks like an ordinary little old man. However, after decades of military service, his expression and eyes have become as sharp as a blade after decades of military service. Lu Feng has never seen such a person in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

, a chill in my heart.

Zhao Tianlin looked calm, but his eyes were brighter. He nodded slightly, "That's it. The Northeast government is fully committed to fighting the next war."

Wang Shizhen stared at Zhao Tianlin for a moment, and then smiled slightly. The knife-like feeling quickly dissipated, and Wang Shizhen returned to the appearance of the kind little old man. He smiled and said: "Haha. Every year on Mr. Zhang's birthday, I will come to He's house to celebrate his birthday.

.Every time I see Brother He sending someone to greet me. There are endless new items in Mr. Zhang’s house. Mr. Zhang is generous and invites us idlers to try them out. Mr. Zhang is a noble man and doesn’t like to go out very much. We asked him how he knew about these things on the market.

There are no new items, Zhang Gong said, they are all tributes to Brother He. He sighs that Brother He misses the past and never forgets his brothers. When Brother He takes over the burden of Beiyang, I wonder if Xu Gong and Duan Gong will go to Tianjin together.

As a neighbor, Mr. Zhang will definitely ask Brother He to take care of you like this. I am really grateful for Mr. Zhang's kindness."

Lu Feng closed his mouth and tried to breathe as lightly as possible. Then Zhao Tianlin smiled and said: "Xu Gong, Duan Gong, and the princes have the world's expectations. At this time, the country is in turmoil. Even if the three of you want to go into seclusion, we will do the same."

I want to invite three people to come out. The prince must not be too modest."

Wang Shizhen sighed: "Gong Zizhen wrote a poem, and I advised God to cheer up and send talents of any kind. Kang Youwei said that if young people are strong, the country will be strong. As far as I know, Brother Zhou and Brother Zhao are less than 40 years old this year."

Zhao Tianlin was born in 1886 and is 36 years old this year. Zhou Yinshan was born in 1884 and is 38 years old this year. He is already the eldest member of the core group of the Northeast government. Zhao Tianlin has long heard that Wang Shizhen has been known for his meticulous work since he started training at a small station.

At this time, he casually said that the two people had been sorted according to age. Zhao Tianlin felt that Wang Shizhen attached great importance to this trip and was not just here to test.

However, Wang Shizhen had no intention of asking questions, so Zhao Tianlin and others continued to listen to Wang Shizhen's words.

"Brother He is 32 years old this year. Among all the generals, I have never heard of many who are over 30 years old. When I think about my age, I am young and full of energy. This is the time when the country should have such a trend. We will go into seclusion.

, it is also a pleasure to watch young people serve the country."

Zhao Tianlin then replied: "My lord, being young has its shortcomings. I am nearly 40 years old, and I feel this especially. In fact, young people may not be ignorant of the truth. If there are no elders like Xu Gong, Duan Gong, and Wang Gong sitting in charge, once the passion is

At the top, the battle of spirits will lose its sense of proportion. For example, the National Assembly, an institution that is supposed to be the fundamental institution of the country, will reopen the National Assembly after the reunification of China. If there are no figures like Zhu Gong sitting in charge, at my age, I will not be able to

If we don’t agree, I still want to argue. The prince must have seen this kind of thing a lot."

Wang Shizhen chuckled and thought for a moment before laughing and saying: "During Xiaozhan's military training, we recruited all the children from Zhili and surrounding provinces. We are all from the north, but we also had disputes over trivial matters such as different accents. So

Things are inevitable.”

Zhao Tianlin smiled slightly and said, "My lord, the Northeastern government has been promoting the regulation and popularization of Xinhua Dictionary and Mandarin in recent years. Although everyone still speaks with a southern accent and a northern accent, there is no such difference."

say-app&——

Even though Wang Shizhen was as calm as Wang Shizhen, his expression also changed. Lu Feng didn't expect Zhao Tianlin to be so frank. He almost held his breath and looked at the people present. He saw that the three people from the northeast looked calm and seemed to have made up their minds.

As for Wang Shizhen and Yang Du, their expressions were solemn.

During the silence, Morrison smiled and said: "Everyone, I have been in China for more than 20 years and already feel that I am a Chinese. I have some experience comparing Chinese and Western banquets."

Yang Du on the opposite side immediately smiled and said: "I wonder what Mr. Morrison thinks?"

Morrison replied: "In Western banquets, most people serve the food first and then talk about things."

Here Zhao Tianlin smiled and said: "If you are hungry, you might as well say so. At a banquet in China, if you sit down and say, I am hungry. Don't worry, we in China can serve food much faster than in the West!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Zhao Tianlin turned to the outside with a smile and shouted: "Waiter, bring the menu."

Wang Shizhen and Yang Du were both people who had seen big scenes. Zhao Tianlin asked them to order, and they randomly ordered whatever they liked without being polite. The thick and beautifully printed menu was quickly delivered to Lu Feng, and Lu Feng also

I ordered fried tofu with vegetables and handed the menu to Zhou Yinshan next to me.

Seeing that the atmosphere was finally kept in a happy and harmonious mood, Lu Feng couldn't help but admire these big shots. Those straightforward words just now were really scary. Zhao Tianlin made it clear that if the power was transferred, the big shots at the top of Beiyang would be the Speaker of Parliament.

A position with respected status but very limited real power. The top figures in Beiyang do not need to consider placing their own people in the new government.

If a young person with a violent personality in Beiyang came to this point, he would dare to overturn the table on the spot. Wang Shizhen's calm and calm demeanor made Lu Feng admire him very much.

On the other hand, the Northeastern government, both civil and military officials, behaved in a moderate manner, were smart and capable. They were neither proud of their status nor proud of the other party's ingratiation. They were obviously well-informed. Even talks related to China's future were indifferent in front of them.

It's not a big scene.

Lu Feng has rarely seen such a demeanor in the government. Even in the Japanese government, only the top Japanese politicians have such magnanimity.

Lu Feng was inclined to Beiyang, but he didn't care much about it. Now he was drinking with such a big man, and he felt fear and uneasiness in his heart. At this time, Lu Feng intuitively understood one thing. The Northeast Army just didn't have time to pay attention to it.

Only Beiyang, Beiyang has a chance. As long as the Northeast Army's spearhead turns to Beiyang, Beiyang will be finished.

This feeling is no different from the Beiyang government's feeling when facing the great powers.
