Chapter 847, Foreshadowing

"It's really a good plan," Xiong Xiling said coldly, gritting her teeth, and the anger on her face quickly turned into a contemptuous sneer. "What else do we have to say today? Everyone has seen that the true face of Wu Shaoting, the dictatorial warlord, has been revealed. I know very well that you think you should not go against someone named Wu this time, but even if you avoid today, can you still escape tomorrow? What is the Political Supervision Department, sooner or later, is a legal tool to eliminate dissidents. If we cannot defeat Wu Shaoting and understand his dictatorship, don't think of any peaceful days in the future."

When everyone heard this, they all felt worried. Although Xiong Xiling's words made some sense, Wu Shaoting was obviously just targeting members of the Qingyuan Conference, and the Political Supervision Department did not attack other officials. Compared to them, there are countless people who are corrupt and abused the law in the central government and even local governments. In the final analysis, Xiong Xiling made Wu Shaoting angry!

"Mr. Bingsan, what's the use of saying this now? The key is how we should deal with it. Just because we cannot set off a big wave in the National Assembly, it will be possible that Wu Shaoting will succeed easily at that time." Ren Zongyuan said urgently.

"Yes, we don't know when the Political Supervision Department will start investigating us. In short, it has been published in the newspaper, which has a great impact on our reputation, and it has also affected the weight of our speech in Congress. Now that we are publishing newspapers, we may take substantial actions soon, just like Tang Shaochuan, without saying any evidence, and just arrest the person first." Tang Hualong agreed with Ren Zongyuan's words and said worriedly.

"Yes, the newspaper said that the *** meeting officially filed a prosecution against Mr. Bingsan on February 1, and February 1 is the date of the National Congress!!" Wang Yinchuan said remindingly.

Everyone was talking and lost their opinions for a moment. The atmosphere of everyone's own danger gradually enveloped the entire conference site. Some people resented and complained in their hearts, some felt very regretful, and some felt at a loss. In short, the situation has developed to this day, which is completely different from what they expected when the Qingyuan Conference was established.

"Everyone sit down first," at this time, Xiong Xiling stopped the scene with a loud shout. He gradually returned to calm, and his sophisticated eyes swept across everyone present, "Do you really think we did nothing in a few days?"

Hearing this sentence, everyone immediately became quiet and looked at Xiong Xiling with strange and expectant eyes.

Lin Changmin couldn't help asking, "Mr. Bingsan, what do you mean?"

Xiong Xiling said calmly: "I had already visited the British Embassy last night to visit the Minister Juerdian. It happened that the Minister *** Yuki Hamaguchi was meeting with Minister Juerdian."

This sentence was like a life-saving straw, attracting everyone's attention. The expectation in their eyes became stronger, and they finally felt a little relaxed. Everyone present knew that the purpose of Tang Shaoyi's disclosure of the Sino-Germany Covenant was to allow the great powers to intervene in China's political situation and force Wu Shaoting to fight against the great powers, thereby weakening Wu Shaoting's dominance in China. Now is an important moment when the great powers need to provide help.

Tang Hualong immediately asked, "Bingyi, what is the attitude of foreigners? Three days have passed since Tang Shaochuan's affairs, and foreigners should always make some moves."

Xiong Xiling said slowly, "Mr. Zhuerdian has met with the Russian Minister, French Minister and *** in the past two days. When I visited them yesterday, they happened to discuss sending the Minister Hamaguchi to see me alone. The ministers of the four countries of the Allied countries have discussed a countermeasure, and their countermeasures are just needed to respond to our Qingyuan Conference to achieve it."

The tense nerves of the crowd relaxed a little again. Of course, they knew that if they wanted foreigners to help, they must be valuable in the eyes of foreigners. Now, after Xiong Xiling said that, foreigners think that theirs are indeed valuable, and this is the best support for the moment of crisis. With foreigners behind their backs, their speaking strength is strong. No matter how arrogant Wu Shaoting is, he will not blindly offend so many powerful countries.

However, some people are worried, or their concerns have existed since the Tang Shaoyi leak. They are loyal political guardians, and their purpose of participating in the Qingyuan Conference is exactly the same as Xiong Xiling's beliefs, which is to defend democratic politics and the republic system. However, their ideas are obviously not as extreme as Xiong Xiling. It is incredible that they should sacrifice national interests for political struggles. This time, the Allied Powers came forward, which is definitely not simply eliminating the "Sino-Germany Covenant Incident". China must have to pay a certain price, and this is shaking the conscience of these people.

Ding Shiyi asked with some concern: "Western people won't take advantage of the situation, right?"

Lin Changmin also felt that this matter could not be generalized, and hurriedly said, "Yes, foreigners must be lions."

Xiong Xiling said calmly: "At this point, do we have any other choices? Furthermore, Minister Juerdian has made a promise that he will join forces with other countries such as Russia, Japan and France to refuse to recognize Wu Shaoting's run for the president, and will support our Qingyuan Conference in all aspects to take over the central government. If Wu Shaoting wants to be strong, the Allied Congress instigates the Northwest warlords to oppose Wu Shaoting, and the *** will increase its troops from North Korea and Taiwan, and the four countries will immediately implement economic ***, and in short, they will force Wu Shaoting to submit."

Ding Shiyi said excitedly: "Mr. Bingsan, letting foreigners send troops to China is to attract wolves into the house!"

Xiong Xiling said: "Of course I know this, but Minister Zhuerdian and Minister Hamaguchi are willing to make written promises that all military operations are aimed at overthrowing Wu Shaoting's barbarity. When this goal is achieved and our Qingyuan Conference successfully grasps the overall situation of the Presidential Palace, they will immediately withdraw their troops. After all, their main battlefield is in the European war, and even the emperor plans to send troops to Europe afterwards, so there is no need to worry about any conspiracy they will have."

Ding Shiyi was still worried and said in a stronger tone: "I'm afraid that we can't let it go!"

Ren Zongyuan interrupted Ding Shiyi and said angrily: "It's up to this point. Do you really think the powers still have extra energy to care about China? Let's consider our safety carefully now!"

Xiong Xiling looked at Ding Shiyi and said, "Brother Foyan, I know your concerns, but you can rest assured that Minister Zhuerdian has already arranged everything. After he said that after the matter was done, as long as we agree with the Outer Mongolia issue and support the *** to eliminate the German forces in Qingdao, there will be no unnecessary life for other issues."

Ding Shiyi said in shock: "***, Outer Mongolia, and Qingdao, this...isn't this considered a lion's mouth?"

Xiong Xiling said seriously: "I haven't considered this problem. No one wants to take this step. But ***, Outer Mongolia is a problem accumulated over the years and has not been solved for so many years. Do you really think we can solve it in a short time? Besides, Minister Juerdian only made us acquiesce, and there was no public or official recognition. When China's national strength is strong, we can settle the accounts in the future based on our strength. As for the German army in Qingdao, since we rely on the Allies to defeat Wu Shaoting, the relationship between Wu Shaoting and the Germans will naturally be unfavorable to our prospects. If the *** people send troops to deal with the Germans, what's wrong with us when we sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight?"

Ren Zongyuan said in agreement: "Mr. Bingsan said this very much, so he should do this."

Ding Shiyi and Lin Changmin looked at each other, and neither of them knew what to say. Although Xiong Xiling was very polite, it seemed to be the best way to deal with it at the moment, but if Tang Shaoyi had not caused the leak of the Sino-German alliance, all this could be avoided. Foreigners are unreliable. This is the result of diplomatic cause in the past century. But Xiong Xiling relies so much on foreigners, what will China's prospects become? In the final analysis, the difficulties faced by the Republic of China today are all the results caused by Xiong Xiling based on personal ideas.

Tang Hualong sighed heavily and said, "As Mr. Bingsan said, things have come to this point, we must not have conflicts at this time, we can only grit our teeth and overcome this disaster first. If we can overthrow Wu Shaoting's dictatorship, the country will gradually develop in a better direction, which is also our goal here."

As one of the veterans of the Progressive Party who had conflicts with Liang Qichao at the time, his view on power is deeper than that of Liang Qichao. Although he does not want to see the country being blackmailed by the great powers and his sovereignty being bullied by the great powers, if he cannot take power, how can he use his skills to change these criticisms?

Lin Changmin nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, that's all we can do."
