Since Yunnan's independence, Kunming's abnormal movements have always been the focus of the Security Bureau. Before the internal conflict between the Guangdong and Yunnan armies in Kunming city in the middle of the night that day, Cai E's telegram had already been sent to the desk of director Liu Boyuan. ⊙ At 6:30 in the morning, when Yang Rui was still jogging, Liu Boyuan, who had been in the Yin'an Hall for half a night, had arrived at Yin'an Hall.

"Sir, the internal strife between Kunming and Yunnan and Guangdong armies broke out in the middle of the night. The result in the morning was that the Guangdong army won." Liu Boyuan only briefly mentioned the result of the internal strife in Kunming, but did not report the reason that could not be completely confirmed.

"Did Chen Qimei do it?" Yang Rui asked, wiping his sweat. He was nearly forty years old, and he felt that his energy was beginning to decline, and he had to double the time for the morning jogging.

"Yes, sir." Liu Boyuan said. "Based on the current intelligence, it should be that Chen Qimei poisoned Cai E and then blamed the Yunnan general. Now the former 39th Division officers in Kunming City are being purged."

Cai E was poisoned to death? Yang Rui frowned slightly, but he just frowned tightly. Now he is no longer the one who felt guilty for Chen Tianhua's death more than ten years ago and regretted the death of a historical celebrity. He only knew that in order to achieve his goal, anyone except himself, even himself could sacrifice.

"Where is Zou Ruoheng and the others? Have you escaped?" Yang Rui thought of his own people in the Yunnan army and couldn't help but ask.

"This..., the intelligence station did not receive any news from him or other officers, maybe...," Liu Boyuan understood the details of the plan in Yunnan. The reason why the Yunnan army failed was that they were restrained under the orders of the Security Bureau and could not take the lead in expelling Russian residents from the northeast. The quellation of the Yunnan rebellion will not be launched at least one month later.

"Let's find a way to let the local intelligence station save people." Yang Rui ordered.

"Yes, sir." Liu Boyuan said. After he said that, he said another news, "Mr. The information from the Intelligence Bureau said that Sun Wen and others had discussed a few years ago. The arms ordered by the Russians to the United States have already been shipped from New York. What should we do?"

"Which country's merchant ship is it? Can submarines sink?" Yang Rui asked.

"It's an American merchant ship, and the crew members on the ship are all Americans." Liu Boyuan said, "Now American ships have learned from us and have begun to leave in groups. If they sink, they will be afraid of sinking the entire fleet. Otherwise, they will not be kept secret."

"Then send an airplane to bomb. If it is transported to the evening, then..." Thinking that the arms ship was inappropriate when it hit the shore, Yang Rui said: "First coordinate with the submarine force to see if they can destroy the arms ship in the sea in the middle. If not, send elite mountain special forces to destroy the arms on the railway." After saying that, he remembered the driving force of Russia from the northeast, and said: "When will the matter in the northeast be resolved? Do you really have to wait for half a year?"

"Sir. Russian overseas Chinese live in a relatively scattered manner. In addition, there are many American journalists. Pastors often monitor our actions. Some things are difficult to do are too blatant. Now we use the method to cut off all necessary products in life. The most important thing is the wood and coal needed for heating..." Liu Boyuan said.

The expulsion of Russia is often secretly hindered by some priests full of justice and American journalists, which makes the process not as smooth as before. Although these Russians will eventually withdraw in time, the problem is that if the Russians in the northeast have not left a small part of the country, Yunnan will not be easy to take action. These two things themselves have a causal relationship. Of course, some people in the army think that they can directly send troops to catch people on the chariot. Those who do not follow will be executed on the spot, but this practice is finally abandoned due to Xie Zhangtai's opposition.

Yang Rui basically agrees with Xie Zhangtai, but many people seem to have not changed their minds from the revolutionary struggle. They believe that being tough on the outside means being proud, and blocking the great powers can be self-reliant. If they do not fire a few shots or fire a few shots, they will worship foreign countries and be corrupt.

But the revolutionary environment is completely different from the current environment. After the European War, China was no longer a pauper, but a local rich man holding billions of foreign exchange. In this case, Britain, the United States and other countries would be taboo to hostility, operate tariffs, and secretly exclude them. However, no matter what they did, they did not dare to blatantly blockade and still had to admit that China is a member of the international trade system, not an outsider. Therefore, maintaining a positive international image and relatively harmonious diplomatic relations is crucial to the development of the country. However, few people have a deep understanding of this. Even under the thought of the gentry's closeness, Yang Rui also discovered something bigger and deeper, that is, closing the country.

‘Since the 23rd year of Daoguang in the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, the port suddenly opened and Westerners suddenly appeared, causing the morality of our people to be decayed and the world to decline. Today, the moon reopens, and the king and the ministers are good, so we should clear up the injustice and forge the right way. Moreover, our country is rich in all over the world, why do we need foreign goods?’ This is the suggestion of the old scholars;

‘Foreign goods are flooded, and our country has more than hundreds of terabytes of silver every year. In the long run, the richer the foreigners are, the poorer our country is. The government should recouple tariffs, close ports, send gifts to foreign merchants, and buy domestic goods...’ This is advocated by the industry;

‘The civilization of the Westerners is to kill people and rob people and waste people’s lives. The demise of 100,000 foreign soldiers every day in the Battle of Paris, Thailand, is a clear proof. Our country should abolish new studies and burn all Western languages ​​to respect the hundreds of schools of thought…’ This is advocated by the academic community;

After China was unified, the stronger the country became, the more Chinese isolationism became. Although Yang Rui was not sure how this thing came out, he and Zhang Taiyan must be blamed. However, it was because the Chinese people had a sense of superiority in their thoughts. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, which had no chaotic experience, did not die, and nearly half of them fell into the heartache. Many people were still addicted to the old dreams of the dynasty, and did not know at all that the times were changing with each passing day.

The strength of a nation-state lies not only in its industrial processing capabilities, but also in how many markets and sources of raw materials it has. It maintains a relatively harmonious relationship with Europe and the United States. Even if China's traditional industries will be squeezed by Europe and the United States, some advantageous industries and national industrial strength will benefit from it. In many cases, technology upgrades are not only due to R&D investment, but more in the size of market capacity and user feedback. China needs developed European and American markets to support the research and development and production of high-tech products and benefits from it, but China itself cannot afford such products. Once it is closed to the country, who will stockings be sold to? Electric motors, caustic soda, diesel engines, electric lights..., to whom are these things sold?

After Liu Boyuan reported on the matters in the Northeast, Yang Rui didn't say anything. It was completely possible to expel Russian overseas in a year. After all, people had to eat, keep warm, eat salt, and see a doctor. But in just a few months, more than tens of thousands of people could not be done unless they were violent. Thinking of the former Sixty-Fourth Treasures of Jiangdong, Yang Rui finally said: "The army should not come forward first. It is better for the patrol police to come forward. You should know that the Americans are watching. It is better to look for the Poles, and the name Liu Yu..."

Yang Rui couldn't remember the name of the famous beard in the northeast. Liu Boyuan quickly reminded: "Sir, it's called Liu Yushuang."

"Yes, it's Liu Yushuang. Find him and ask him to take people..." Yang Rui originally wanted to suggest that this beard smashed glass and put poisonous snakes like a demolition team in later generations, and force the house to be demolished while no one at home. But it's really hard to say this kind of thing in his current identity, so he had to say at the end: "Let him find a way, and those Japanese ronin, let them get the Russians away as soon as possible."

When Yang Rui looked for Poles and Liu Yushuang, he basically had everything except dispatching troops. This scale was much higher than that allowed before. He was a patrolman who went out. Liu Boyuan was happy in his heart, but he said with some concern: "Sir, I understand. It's just Mr. Chong'an's side... What should I do if Mr. Chong'an doesn't agree?"

"I will discuss with him on Chong'an. You can do it first. As long as our army does not come forward, we will let those bearded, Poles, and Japanese ronin do it, and there is still room for ease." Yang Rui said.

Yang Rui made a decision in the morning. An hour later, Li Liezu, the commander of the 6th Army in Harbin, saw the telegram. Without thinking, he slapped his thigh and said, "Hurry! Immediately issue Vladivostok. Let them come up with a solution immediately and "send" those Russians to the crowd earlier."

Although there was a truce between China and Russia. The 6th Army and the Mongolian Cavalry Army jointly fought with the Russian army with the Russian-Mongolian border and within the Russian border. The turning point of the Siberian Railway going south through Heilongjiang. The twenty kilometers north of it was the Siberian Railway built by the Soviet Union to bypass the entire Heilongjiang. The Chinese team occupied this place, which basically completely blocked the Russian road eastward. In addition to occupation, immigration, and expelling Russia, the Siberian Railway occupied by China also had to be replaced with standard tracks, but this would not be implemented after the Russian Revolution.

The plan to drive the Russians with all their might soon arrive at the military government of Vladivostok. Commander Wang Jinfa immediately summoned the captain of Beard Liu Yushuang, the captain of the Polish Ranger Yelinsky, the leader of the Black Dragon Association, Uchida Ryohei, and Kawashima Surora, to discuss how to expel the Russians. Among these people, Liu Yushuang was originally coming to Vladivostok to report on the progress of the demolition work, while the Ranger Yelinsky had just come out of the kiln, full of wine and women's powdery smell. Uchida Ryohei and Kawashima Surora were gentle and respectful, but the wolf-like light in their eyes did not look like a good person no matter how they looked.

"Male Gobi!" The meeting started with Wang Jinfa's catchphrase, and he said carelessly: "I used to drive people too slowly! Now the superiors are not satisfied and say that they want you guys to think of a solution. You can just take a look. What should I do about this?"

"Report to the commander and shoot them!" Yelinsky seemed to have not yet woken up. He spoke Chinese better and better for many years in China. He was still the same as before. When it comes to Russians, he was filled with righteous indignation. This time, the Fuxing Army occupied Vladivostok, he not only felt mentally but also physically.

"Damn, I'll have to teach you if I shoot you! That won't work." Wang Jinfa cursed. After saying that, he looked at Liu Yushuang and the two Japanese, and finally his eyes were on Kawashima Sulang: "Mr. Kawashima, your brain is the best. These Russians are so ugly that they occupy such a large area. It's unreasonable to not attract God's punishment. Both of us have more people and few lands. If we don't drive them away, how can the villagers have land to plant!"

Wang Jinfa was originally a mountain king. His temptation was so painful that it made people feel tooth-suffered by him. He didn't want the Japanese to feel uncomfortable at all. Kawashima Sulang bowed and said, "General Wang, driving away the Chinese people is the same goal of our two countries. However, those people in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are afraid of the interference of English and white animals, and the rogues are not too good to do too much..."

Kawashima Suwa was revived, but as soon as the Russian army collapsed and the northeast was occupied by China, his position immediately changed. China has gradually turned into a beast again, while Russia has turned from a beast to a lamb. Now China supports Japan to immigrate here openly and secretly. Even if it hates China to the core, Kawashima, as a mainlandist, will have to be instantly favored by China. However, just like China's estimated international image, the Japanese ronin and the entire Black Dragon Association were also suppressed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prevent excessive actions in the Far East from stimulating the Allies.

"Damn! You don't have the courage to do this?" Wang Jinfa looked at the Japanese shrinking their eggs and was very disdainful. "Last time you asked me that there were so many places, but there is not a single ghost shadow yet. All the people in your country have land? Is this the foreigner's note important or the belly important?"

"Your Excellency..." Seeing Wang Jinfa unhappy, Uchida Ryohei finally spoke, and he said: "After all, Japan is an alliance with Britain. Since there is this covenant, the government will be restrained by Britain. Now Luguo has already told the United Kingdom that if Japan immigrated to the Far East, Luguo will withdraw from the European war and attack east with all his might..."

"Okay! Then you and I will have a fucking fight with the Russians and Russians, fighting until Kahu Lake or Western Siberia. Not to mention the rest of this place, it will take hundreds of years to cut down trees..." Wang Jinfa was excited when he heard the battle. He slapped the table and said a lot, which made Uchida Ryohei smile helplessly. At the same time, Kawashima's ambition was immediately aroused.

Kawashima said: "Your Excellency, our two countries should fight to the foot of the Ural Mountain and take all this forest and grassland for yourself!"

"That's what he meant!" Wang Jinfa slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "But the Russians are not hundreds of thousands of dollars this way, at least a few million. Male Gobi! Now these hundreds of thousands of Russians cannot be properly handled. Will you be willing to support these Russians when you fight to the Ural Mountain? Let's talk about two. Now our country is going to war with Russians, and you are just standing by. Even if you can't do it well in immigration or driving people, if you know this, you must laugh at you for not having any eggs."

No matter how whispered, Wang Jinfa only blushed the Japanese. After he finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to the Japanese. He looked at Liu Yushuang and said, "Don't care about the others anymore. Brother Liu said, what should I do at first?"

"Brother, I think this is not a solution after all." After being recruited by the Intelligence Bureau, Liu Yushuang has become a domineering force in the Northeast. His subordinates have quickly expanded from hundreds of people to thousands. These people robbed their families, killed people and set fires, and did not do good things. With them, some dirty work that the Fuxing Army is inconvenient to do is naturally done.

"Then what do you think is the best?" Wang Jinfa asked carelessly.

"I see, any Russian-Russian can last for a few months. What we want is time. Don't just take a few handfuls of mushrooms, just carry a few buckets of kerosene to burn the Russian-Russian house." Liu Yushuang, as a front-line staff, has a deep consideration of the demolition. "As soon as this house is burned, Russian-Russians will have to leave."

"Who will send to burn it?" Wang Jinfa's eyes turned around Yelinsky, the Japanese, waiting for them to answer.

"Sir, the Rangers can burn it." Yelinsky stood up to accept this sacred mission.

However, Wang Jinfa was not satisfied with his statement. With the stimulation of his winks and eyes, Kawashima Sulang finally stood up and said, "You can also bring people to burn!" After he said that, he lowered his tone and said, "However, this can only be at night."

"Just burn the house, it's all the time during the day or at night." Seeing that the Japanese finally agreed, Wang Jinfa was satisfied.

The discussion was decided, and Wang Jinfa put the plan into use in Harbin, and after approval, he began to implement the action. On the evening of that day, buckets of kerosene were loaded on a sled and pulled towards the direction of Temple Street. A few days later, the Russian-Russian houses that refused to leave and refused to pay rubles to compensate for the people began to catch fire one after another, and some who dared to shoot and resist were directly thrown into the fire and burned to death.

The winds in the northeast suddenly became tight, but even if there is no evidence for such a thing, journalists from various countries can guess that it was done by the Chinese. For a while, international public opinion made Xie Zhangtai feel embarrassed.

Xie Zhangtai was forced to re-mentioned Russia's invasion of China and funded and helped Chinese illegal elements to provoke rebellion in Yunnan. He believed that this behavior in Russia was a blatant trampling on international public law, and that China's orders Russian overseas Chinese to leave was also a restrained act taken to prevent the resurgence of rebellion...

The official said this, but Xie Zhangtai complained to Yang Rui in private, saying that this was too hasty and that he believed that as long as they cut off their necessities of life, the Russians would not be able to survive this spring.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not easy to do with weak foreigners, and is often bullied by foreigners; it is not easy to do with strong people, and often has to find high-sounding excuses for bullying. After hearing Xie Zhangtai's complaint, Yang Rui was just funny. He took out a report and said: "The United States' arms have been transported to Annan. If the Far East does not drive the Russians away, Sun Wen will be bigger."

"What!" Xie Zhangtai was surprised. His complaint was just a matter of saying. He understood that Yang Rui's original intention of expelling the Russians in the Far East was to send troops to Yunnan as soon as possible. Only with the wound of the rebellion in Yunnan, the behavior of the outside of the Northeast could be legally reasonable. In order to give more time to expel the Russians. Before the New Year, the Air Force of the Restoration Army blew up the arms of Sun Wen's rebels, but the Russians transported new arms, and the route was the Yunnan Railway. "Has the French been killed by the Russians?"

"It's almost the same." Yang Rui understood that before Russia withdrew from the war, Britain and France would unconditionally support Russia. "Now the Security Bureau has sent some people to destroy this matter, but it won't work. I don't know. Sun Wen's actions were much faster than we expected. Originally, he thought that the two factions in Yunnan were incompatible, and the internal strife would probably take some time. Who would have thought that Chen Qimei would cut the mess quickly and deal with the generals of the Yunnan Army in just a few moves.

Yunnan recruited soldiers everywhere a year ago. The recruits who came early are almost one month of training. If the military firearms arrive, they have been training for at least three months when we reach Kunming. Although the officers must be unqualified and are all new recruits, if the terrain in Yunnan is not easy to let them fight smoothly, it will be a problem."

"Does we want to advance early to quell the rebellion?" Xie Zhangtai knew the timetable, Yunnan is in advance as the Northeast is in advance.

"That's about that." Yang Rui said. "No matter what Vladivostok does, as long as we want to clear these Russians away, there will always be pressure. If you want to, just put it down. When the British held concentration camps in South Africa, they were still under pressure, although they were white people themselves."

Yang Rui had just finished speaking. Li Zilong came in with this telegram outside and said in surprise: "Prime Minister Xie, the German submarine sank the British Royal Cruise Mauritania today. Most of the more than 2,000 passengers on the cruise ship were frozen to death in the sea, and only dozens of people were rescued on a lifeboat." Li Zilong was also shocked by the news. After he finished speaking, he looked at the telegram and said: "It is said that there are more than 300 Americans on the cruise ship!"

"Ah..." Yang Rui and Xie Zhangtai gasped. Banning the sunken cruise was China's previous suggestion to the German Navy. In addition, the Intelligence Agency repeatedly reminded Major Nicholas of the German General Staff to order the captain of the submarine to learn to restrain himself. The British would use American bodies to provoke conflicts between the United States and Germany. They did not want to have the repeated instructions before, but the German Navy ignored the British because they continued to transport arms by fast cruise ships.

"What should I do?" Yang Rui immediately asked Xie Zhangtai. He was most familiar with the international situation and he was the best at making various suggestions in this situation.

"What else can I do? I can only stand on the side of Britain and the United States and condemn German submarines." Xie Zhangtai said. "However, while the world's public opinion is condemning German submarines, we must complete the things outside the Northeast as soon as possible."

"That's what I mean." Yang Rui also thought of this. He said to Li Zilong immediately: "Immediately order Li Liezu to dispatch troops, no matter whether the Russians go south or return west, in short, they must do everything possible to expel them within three months."

"I understand, Prime Minister." Li Zilong immediately wrote down and drafted a telegram for Yang Rui to read. After his signature, he sent it to Harbin.

After the expulsion of Russia from the northeast, Yang Rui and Xie Zhangtai were sitting in the house without saying a word. Both of them were considering the impact of this matter on world shipping, and the reaction between Germany and the United States was entirely up to the Chinese and Japanese merchant fleets, Britain and France, who were surviving in the air, would definitely seize this incident. The United States promoted the arguments of hatred and Germany to force the Germans to stop the unlimited submarine warfare. After this, the British merchant fleet did not know how much tonnage could be maintained.

"Now there are many tons of merchant ships in Britain and France?" Xie Zhangtai asked after a while of silence.

"The data given by the Commercial Intelligence Agency a few days ago said that Britain had lost at least 6 million tons of merchant ships." Yang Rui said, "In addition, due to the war needs, steel prices have risen sharply, and the launch volume of merchant ships around the world has been greatly reduced; while British ship workers are working hard to build ships and the decisive battle with Germany. The ship workers who built the merchant ships have been taken away, and the launch volume has also been greatly reduced. To be precise, last year, except for us, there were only 1.2 million tons of merchant ships in the world [note]. This year, the Commercial Intelligence Agency predicts that it is 1.5 million tons, but now it seems that this number is expected to be reduced."

"What about German submarines? How many merchant ships can they sink without unlimited submarine warfare?" Xie Zhangtai asked again.

"I don't know. At least it's halved, less than three million tons a year." Yang Rui said. "If Germany really gives up the unlimited submarine warfare, they will definitely lose this war." (To be continued...)
