: Never give up

After coming out of the study, Chen Qimei's face changed again, and her sincere attitude in front of Sun Yat-sen suddenly became cold. He thought very clearly that things have now developed to a point that he had not expected at the time. Once he continued to lose control, he would be afraid that he would backfire.

He walked along the corridor to the small yard on the other side, and happened to see Jiang Zhiqing sitting on the porch reading, so he walked up to say hello: "Zhiqing."

Jiang Zhiqing put down the book in his hand, and immediately stood up after seeing Chen Qimei, and asked, "Brother, are you going to see the sir again?"

Chen Qimei sighed, and the bad mood immediately appeared on her face and said, "Anyway, the previous things have been done. The Japanese will not support us, and Mr. Sun also disagreed. It's so unlucky. After all, it was all Wu Shaoting, a red man who was traitorous. If he had known that he shouldn't have let him replace Zhan Tang as the governor of Guangdong."

Chen Qimei is still immersed in the dream of the founding ceremony of the Republic of China in Nanjing. He does not understand the situation in Guangdong, nor does he understand Wu Shaoting's strength. He takes it for granted that he can control local power with the original government orders. In his opinion, if it were not for Wu Shaoting's meritorious person, everyone would not have taken this young boy seriously at all.

Jiang Zhiqing heard the resentment in Chen Qimei's tone, and he persuaded him: "Brother, it's useless to get angry now. Since we are already in Japan, we just obey Mr. Sun's instructions wholeheartedly. Although our revolution in China has failed, Mr. Sun is not the one who will give up easily. This period is an important moment for us to re-plan the revolutionary path. I believe Mr. Sun will definitely find a way out for the revolution!"

Chen Qimei said coldly: "Zhiqing, it's wrong for you to say this. We are all revolutionary patriots, and Mr. Sun is the revolutionary leader. The so-called revolutionary cause should be a grand wish that we can all work together to achieve. It's not that we should not follow Mr. Sun's will, but Zhiqing, as a member of the revolution, does not seek a way out, but instead only puts the responsibility on Mr. Sun. This idea is very bad."

Jiang Zhiqing was stunned. After hearing Chen Qimei's words, he suddenly felt that he had been in Japan for so long and seemed to have not done anything. He had no achievements in eating, drinking tea, reading, and playing chess all day long. He couldn't help feeling inferior, and he thought from the bottom of his heart that Chen Qimei's words were right. The great cause of revolution should work together and not put all the problems on Mr. Sun alone.

"Brother, you're right, I... I shouldn't think so."

"It's good that you have such reflection. Let's not talk about this for now. You can arrange it for me immediately. I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow." Chen Qimei immediately gave an order when she saw that Jiang Zhiqing was moved.

"Go to Tokyo? Are you going to meet Mr. Zhan Tang and the others?" Jiang Zhiqing didn't take it seriously. Anyway, it was not the first time Chen Qimei left for Tokyo, so she just asked casually.

"Zhantang and the others are afraid that they are not good at it, so I want to meet Mr. Xia Ru. In addition, I heard that Mr. Liewu has also arrived in Japan, which happened last week. I plan to visit him together." Chen Qimei is not a straightforward person, but for so many years he has always regarded Jiang Zhiqing as his own person and has not concealed anything. Now he has developed a habit.

"Mr. Bai has arrived in Japan?" This was the first time Jiang Zhiqing heard about it.

Bai Wenmo (1876-1947), whose courtesy name is Liewu, was born in a scholarly family in Baijiazhai, Nanxiang, Shou County, Anhui Province. When he was young, he studied "Shan Hai Jing", "Er Ya", "Si Zi Shu, Seven Classics", etc. He often led his friends to imitate soldiers to set up formations and practice. While commanding, he told everyone: He should kill all evil people and corrupt officials. When he was a little older, he studied agronomy. Although he "worked hard and did not feel miserable. At the age of 16, he went to a private school for three years on behalf of his father. Bai

Wen Moe's father wanted his son to become an official and asked him to take the scientific exam many times. His father's order was difficult to violate. At the age of 21, he went to take the exam, from the state, the government, and the hospital, and was very skilled. He was beaten. His parents were happy and the country envied him, but he himself believed that "it was not a trick here to follow the major plans of the country. After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Bai Wen Moe, Sun Yujun, Zhang Shuhou and others founded the "Book Book and Newspaper Club" in Shoucheng. At the same time, he improved the collection and founded the Tianzu Society, and put the improvement ideas into preliminary practices.

"That's right. You can make arrangements first. You will go with me tomorrow. I'm the most annoying to speak Japanese when you get off the boat. I'm not good at this, but I really can't do it without you." Chen Qimei nodded and said.

"Brother, you suddenly want to meet Mr. Xia Ru and Mr. Bai, right?" Jiang Zhiqing had another thought. He knew that Chen Qimei, Li Liejun and Bai Wenmo were not familiar with each other. These two were former provincial governors and were quite powerful figures in the revolutionary camp. Even though Li Liejue and Bai Wenmo were forced to step down due to the Second Revolution, those who have been governors will have their own power. If you only need to raise your arms and shout, there will be a response voice. Combined with the fact that Chen Qimei has never given up returning to China for another month, it is not difficult to guess that there must be an attempt to take action privately.

"Don't ask too much. If you go with me, you will naturally know what's going on." Chen Qimei stared at Jiang Zhiqing and said in a warning tone.

"Brother, it's not that I'm talking too much, but the situation in China is already unfavorable to us. If I'm determined to do it, I'm afraid that it will not only not help the revolution, but it will also cause trouble. Mr. Sun doesn't know, but I know what you have done. No matter what, it's necessary to remind me to be careful!" Seeing Chen Qimei's attitude, Jiang Zhiqing could already confirm Chen Qimei's intention. He ignored the anger of Chen Qimei and persuaded him in anger.

"What should I be careful? Hum, hum, if Wu Shaoting is really capable, he will not waste my chance. Hum, everyone will be punished by a villain like him who is inclined to be strong." Chen Qimei became furious.

"Brother, the Beiyang government has caught people. As long as the person lying in the hospital wakes up, you will be confessed sooner or later. At this critical moment, you should find a way to clear the suspicion. Otherwise, you not only offend the Beiyang government, but also offend Wu Shaoting. This is not a joke! Now, brother, you not only don’t think of a way, but also continue to cause trouble. Isn’t this going step by step?" Jiang Zhiqing continued to persuade him sincerely.

"Don't worry! I tell you, this time I went to Tokyo, I just wanted to find a way to solve this problem. What do you think I'm going to do? Ask Governor Li and Governor Bai to ask for soldiers and guns? Even if I want it, can they bring it out?"

"It turns out that you have thought of it for a long time, what are you going to do, brother?"

"I'm telling you on the way." Chen Qimei said deeply, but a trace of fierce light had flashed in his eyes.

On July 10, German Consul General Andre, led by Deng Keng, walked into the office study of the Governor's Office. Wu Shaoting had been waiting here for a long time. Before, Wu Shaoting went to Beijing and specifically asked Deng Keng to be responsible for discussing the agency production of bullets with Andre. However, Andre believed that Deng Keng was too young and could take the opportunity to take advantage of it. However, he did not expect that Deng Keng had his own bottom line long ago, so the two of them continued to talk about the fact that there was no progress until early July.

A few days ago, when Wu Shaoting just returned from Beijing, Deng Keng had already told him about this. However, at that time, he did not focus on this matter, so he simply delayed it for a few days. Obviously Andre was not anxious about the plan to set up a production line, and even insisted that this deal was the most beneficial to Wu Shaoting. Sooner or later, Wu Shaoting would come to him.

In fact, many important things Wu Shaoting has to be dealt with until today, such as the details of the military camp movement, the fundraising for post-war reconstruction, the aftermath of the assassination case, etc., and everything here is much more important to Wu Shaoting than helping Germany produce automatic rifle bullets. During those days in Beijing, he spent time thinking about what the Germans were thinking about, equipment, technicians, and machinery. Why don’t they just set up production lines in their own country or allies with these conditions? Which nerve has problems and has to run to China to set up a secret factory?

At first, he thought that the Germans were just interested in the development potential of the Guangdong faction after the Guangdong War, but when he returned to Guangzhou and thought about it carefully, if the Germans really wanted to support Guangdong as agents, they just needed to borrow guns, cannons, and empire marks. Why should they give a bunch of production technology and talents so generously?

You should know that producing one thousand automatic rifle bullets only costs dozens of quick money at best, but once the freighter transportation fee is added, it is probably hundreds of dollars. Although it only increases by more than ten yuan on the surface, it is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to convert each batch of goods. Even if the Germans cannot use it all, they can use this comparison as a loan to Wu Shaoting, which is more economical and practical, and less carbon-friendly.
