Volume D Chapter 18 The Future

In fact, in Gaywent's observation just now, Yang Rui was a very guarded person, so he wanted to use words to loosen his mind from the beginning to be respectful to himself. Once this is achieved, the subsequent conversation will be very smooth. However, he did not see the change in Yang Rui's eyes just now. After taking off his sunglasses, the two did not look like each other. He had to say again: "William, will Mr. Leo be a staff officer for a bandit?"

The arrow shot by Gavint was resolved by Yang Rui, and the words behind him were easier to deal with. Yang Rui exhaled secretly, slowing his heartbeat, and then said: "The German guy only cares about money. He took away the compensation from the Ministry of Industry and Technology to the public. Do you really think a German guy would fight the Russians aimlessly?"

"Is that true?" Gawent knew that the Ministry of Industry seemed to have paid a lot of money to the Germans and Yang Jingcheng in front of him, but he didn't know what happened after they got the money.

"What else can a person who doesn't believe in the motherland care about? But he hates you very much. Haha." Speaking of this, Yang Rui couldn't help but smile easily. The matter of the Independence Army was absolutely unrecognizable. He also wanted to be too careless. Leo was a bright clue, because he was connected with him in the shooting, and everything Leo did would make people who knew this think of him.

Looking at Yang Rui's honest eyes and the natural expression on his face, Gavint had no way to confirm his guess, so he had to take a step back and said: "Many Germans don't like British people, and French people. Mister Young, if you get too close to Germans, then it will be difficult for us to support your activities in the concession."

"Then can I get close to Britain?" Yang Rui said with a smile, as if he had no previous tension at all. "When I was studying in the British, I always hoped that China would become as civilized as Britain, but you do not support the revolution."

Yang Rui's flattery towards Britain made Gewent feel alert from his heart. He did not laugh, but became more strict. "No. From the British standpoint, we do not want a war in China. This is an uncivilized act. Now the Qing government is about to convene a parliament, and elections are being carried out everywhere, I suggest..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yang Rui. "Mr. Major, please believe that this is just the beginning of chaos in this country! In fact, it is not just what I think so. Isn't Yuan Shikai's vacation in your country because of this kind of consideration?"

"No, he's just a private visit." Gewent felt a sure feeling. He remembered that he asked him again before, but now it was his turn to test the British government's strategy. "Mistyang, I still suggest that you should handle the differences with the Qing government peacefully. War will definitely not be accepted by governments of all countries, especially the rebellion involving Germany. The British government will firmly oppose it."

Gavint's words meant a threatening warning, and Yang Rui did not take it seriously. Even if the Consul General of Shanghai said this to him, Yang Rui was very free and easy. The British were always pragmatic. They did not have a nervous emperor. As long as the situation changes, they would one day forget what they said. This is the characteristic of a democratic country.

"Mr. Major, are you looking for me today to be a lobbyist for the Qing Dynasty? Or did Mr. Juerdian have had similar explanations?" Yang Rui said disapprovingly, and only said Gewent was stunned. In fact, he was just an intelligence official. He did not have the right to make diplomatic decisions. The reason why he talked about Germany was just because he eavesdropped on Yang Rui's words 'German Consul General'. "To be honest, I actually really hope to get your help and establish an independent country in the Yangtze River Basin, but your big figures did not recognize this, so... I had to think of another way. However, because of the last failure, even if someone sponsored us, it would be possible to revolt several years later. Major. By that time, do you think what you said is useful?"

"If you walk with the Germans, then my words will still work." Gewent was a little confused and had to talk to the Germans. Yang Rui didn't want to continue arguing with him on this matter, but asked again: "Mr. Major, is it here to tell me this time?"

"Of course... no," Gavint only felt that the conversation did not seem to be as planned. He cursed in his heart and then said, "Mist Young, do you know Japanese very well?"

After wandering around for a long time, he finally talked about the serious business. Yang Rui cursed secretly and said, "Some understandings are a little bit unfamiliar. They are too hostile to us, so..."

After hearing what Yang Rui said vaguely, Gewent had to say: "I hope to obtain some Japanese intelligence from them, of course, Germans can do it too."

"What are the benefits?" Yang Rui asked back.

After hearing what Yang Ruiyi said about the benefits, Gavinter thought about it and said, "I don't have much to give..."

"Is that true?" Yang Rui smiled and said, "But we know better about the situation of the Germans in Qingdao, including their fleets, work and schedules, docks, forts, etc. These were built by the Chinese. I think it would be inconvenient if you go and inquire."

When asked a Japanese, a German came out, Gewent's heart suddenly became hot. Isn't this his current task? But after he was so excited, he wondered whether this revolutionary would sell British intelligence to Germany and make money from each other? He thought about these questions and finally said, "Mistyang, what do you need? Do you have money?"

"I need you to support our revolution!" Yang Ruishi spoke loudly, but when he saw him shook his head, he smiled and said, "I only have one requirement, that is, to help us train a few intelligence personnel. Without professional personnel, there is no way for German intelligence in the Far East."

"It's that simple?" Gavint looked at Yang Rui, not knowing what he wanted to do.

"Of course, it's that simple. But I hope my people can survive, so the training given to them must be complete. If they are detected by the Germans one after another, it will be a loss for both of us. Actually, I don't like Germans, really! You will feel like you are a servant or something when you are with them, and they are very greedy and tough. I don't like them!" Yang Rui expressed his attitude again. He hoped that these words would be recorded by Gewent and then seen by the consul, or someone else. This may be helpful in the future.

Major Gawent looked into Yang Rui's eyes as he spoke, as if he felt that what he was saying was true. At the same time, he thought about what this cunning person was going to do. Only when Yang Rui finished speaking and looked at him did he come back to his senses and said, "I will report this to the consul. If I agree, I will notify you."

It seemed that everything was finished. Yang Rui stood up and said goodbye to him. Major Gavint sent Yang Rui to the door of the police room very enthusiastically. When he was about to warn Yang Rui not to be deceived by the Germans, he suddenly saw that the outside of the police room was full of rickshaws. The coachmen's eyes were all looking at this side. He suddenly realized something. At this time, Yang Rui also found the coachmen outside, but he was not easy to explain to Guvint, so he had to pretend to look at the sky. He smiled and said, "The weather is good today. Goodbye, Mr. Major."

When Gavint heard his farewell, he couldn't say anything, so he had to agree and said, "Yes, the weather is good. Goodbye, Mister Yang." Then he looked at Yang Rui nodded to him and got on the carriage, and then went away.

Major Gawent just did not agree with Yang Rui's plan to spy on German intelligence. However, the rickshaw drivers outside the police room just now made him understand the power of this man in China. He is not an overseas exile like Sun Yixian. He has been planning various ** operations everywhere in China. If he can really cooperate with him to spy on German intelligence, it would be great. Why not? Major Gawent asked himself, are you afraid of him? He thought about it, and immediately turned around and went back to write a report.

Being a horseman for the British was a routine that Yang Rui thought of before. If he wanted to impress the British, he could only betray the Germans. At the same time, the intelligence system of the Revival Society was too bad. Although Yu Zixun and Zhong Guanguang were looking for such experts to train special science and military intelligence agencies in Europe and the United States, it would be better if the British could have comprehensive training. Thinking that Major Gavint just now, he almost touched the rest of the Revival Society, Yang Rui was still scared when he sat in the warm carriage. The British could dominate the world, and his intelligence collection ability was completely first-class, so he should be more careful in his future behavior.

Moreover, for the loopholes in Leo, it is necessary to fix them. The first is to kill those who have seen him in the Northeast. For example, the Russian Madlitov, but it is said that he has returned to China now; the troops must hide the arms of Lorenzo Maguis. If the British find out there from Leo, and then another raid will be done. Finally, the Northeast will need to hoard food, ammunition and other materials to prevent the British from passing the news that they were Wang Qinian to Japan or the Qing Dynasty. Thinking of this, Yang Rui felt that the production of artillery shells in Tonghua Arsenal was too small, and at least 3,000 to 5,000 rounds per month was at least 3,000 to 5,000 rounds a year... He still felt that there were fewer here. During the Japanese-Russia War, a battle was 40,000 rounds, which was enough for him to produce for more than ten years. The shell factory still had to increase its production, and at least 100,000 rounds a year.

While Yang Rui was sitting in a random thought, the carriage had already crossed Wilson Bridge and boarded Huangpu Road. Seeing that the agreed time had not come, he stopped at the Licha Hotel and went in with Chen Guangshou to order two steaks. After the meal, Yang Rui was thinking about meeting the German Consul General in the afternoon. He asked Chen Guangshou, "That's called Bry. Tell me about his situation, so as not to be difficult to talk when I meet."

Chen Guangshou also had a good meal with Yang Rui. He quickly took out the previous briefing and said: "Brie was born in 1860, graduated from the law department of Heidelberg University, joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1886, and went to Zanzibar, Cape Town, and Pretoria three years later." When Chen Guangshou said this, Yang Rui shook his head. Just as the Revival will pay attention to the Qing dynasty, the ministers and consuls of various countries were also the key points of attention. In the study, he found that after 1895, the consuls of various countries in China had changed a wave of people, and the new people had had consular experiences in Africa - they were best at drawing lines on maps with rulers to determine their sphere of influence. Now that he heard that the new consuls had experienced African experience, Yang Rui couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

When Chen Guangshou saw Yang Rui shook his head, he stopped for no reason. When Yang Rui saw him stopping, he said, "Continue talking, what experience he has."

"He returned to Germany after 1895, and then went to various countries as the Consul General in 1900, first Switzerland, then to Sydney, Australia, and recently to China."

After Chen Guangshou said that, Yang Rui recalled this person's experience and was a little confused. He was a little confused about the behavior of an African diplomat or a normal diplomat. However, he still knew what it looked like when he saw it. He only saw that the better time was, so he went out to the German consulate.

In the notepad of the German Consul General in Shanghai, Baron Vonburi, the revival meeting explained by his ex-Knabe and Yang Jingcheng occupied several pages. The Germans were very clear about his general growth trajectory, from the beginning of the MSG factory to the Tonghua Railway behind; from the beginning of William Leo to the independence army in the Northeast, just an ordinary Chinese, who became a political force in China within a few years. This is a miracle.

There is also the shocking uprising in Hangzhou. Buli couldn't imagine how great it would be for Germany's cause in China if the uprising took place in Shandong! He was very suspicious every time he thought of this. Why did this person who had always been a pro-German person not in Shandong, but to go to Zhejiang to rebel? The final result was that the supply channel was blocked by the British, indirectly causing the failure of the rebel army. Even if Baron Paul Von Buli was a gentleman, he could not be gentlemanly for such a barbaric and backward country. Even if Germany's expansion in the Far East was at a low tide, if it could add icing on the cake to the empire's colonial cause, it would make His Majesty the Emperor happy.

With this idea, after chatting with Yang Rui, Buli began to indirectly criticize the plan of the Revival Continent in Shandong. Once unfavorable talks about Shandong, Yang Rui's heart skipped a beat and called out. He said calmly: "Hisser Baron, now we have no strength to launch another uprising," he said, "According to the previous information, the Revival Continent has nearly 20,000 troops in the Northeast. Yang Rui seemed to know his doubts and said, "After the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the troops were dismissed. The Russians gave a lot of money. You know, the most popular thing for Chinese people to do is to marry their wives and buy land. Once the soldiers have land and wives, they will not have the heart to fight again. In the Hangzhou Uprising, we have already pulled all our strength. If there are 20,000 troops, we will not hide in the mountains now."

With some plausible impressions of China, Bli felt that what Yang Rui said was right. He subconsciously took a sip of the wine and asked, "What is your next plan? Based on the friendship over the years, I think I can convince Germany to support some of your actions."

After hearing what he said, Yang Rui pretended to be very excited, respected him for a moment and said in a pretended excitement: "I knew that Germany is a real friend. This is also the reason why we sent students to Germany on a large scale. William the Great has always been my idol. He heroically unified a loose priesthood into a great Germany..."

"Yang, do you want to be an emperor too?" Bley asked unconsciously, feeling his admiration for William the Great.

"Why not?" Yang Rui asked back. "China has a tradition of imperial system for thousands of years. Without an emperor, the people will not be used to it. Democracy is just a cake advocated by the Americans. China must rise like Germany, otherwise it will fall behind and decline forever. If China becomes stronger, then Germany and China, two countries on the edge of the Eurasian continent, can go east and the other west, and go east and west, meet in Central Asia. Then let the British go fishing in the ocean, and we can just occupy the entire continent. As for Tsarist Russia, no matter how huge its territory is, it cannot withstand the attacks of the two countries."

Now Yang Rui is deeply aware of the essence of a certain cannon. He brags without capital. He seems to have occupied the entire Eurasia and even the whole world with a wave. "There are many Chinese people, but only Southeast Asia and Central Asia are enough. Britain has been corrupted, France has been burned by democracy, the United States only cares about its own affairs, and Tsarist Russia has been killed by us. Then the world in the future will be the world of Germany, China, and the United States. Such a world is the perfect future."

Even the very rational Baron Bli, after hearing Yang Rui's description of the future, he couldn't help but be attracted by this beauty. Yes, China is a country with extremely rich population and resources. Once independence is completed, it will soon become strong. By then, Germany and China will fight from the coastline, and the entire Eurasian continent will belong to these two countries. Thinking of this, Baron Bli took a sip of wine and suppressed his excitement. He said: "The future is beautiful, but now the revival will not be launched even a revolt. It seems that we are still far from this dream."

"It won't be far away." Yang Rui felt that he had been fooling too much and immediately said seriously: "In four to five years, or in a shorter time, we will launch multiple uprisings. I don't know what the foundation is like in Shandong, but I will try my best to choose the uprising location in Shandong."

"This is something we're happy to see," said Bley, very gentlemanly.

But Yang Rui didn't seem to finish his words, looked at Buley and said, "I need Germany's help."

Bli asked after hearing this, "What kind of help is as long as I can..."

"It's very simple to help, and it won't put any diplomatic pressure on Germany. I just need a certain number of army officers and naval officers to study in the German team." Yang Rui finally said this sentence after holding it in for a long time. He explained: "It doesn't take many people. Each army and navy has thirty places each year."

"No, that's too much." Lieutenant Colonel Hoffman, who was in charge of the officers of the Revival Society, reported that it was not very clear about the power of the Revival Society at that time. It was not until after the Hangzhou Uprising that its power was valued by Germany. "There can only be twenty at most, a total of twenty people." He looked up and said after a while.

Yang Rui was happy when he heard this and said anxiously: "They can disguise themselves as Japanese or paint their faces brown and turn into Turks. Twenty people a year are too few. At least forty people."

"Painted brown?" Bly didn't understand this.
