Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

When Yuan Shikai heard this, he asked with a smile: "General Kodama, how do you say this? How did I become a fool?"

Kodama Gentaro smiled and said: "Yuan Shikai, you were a high-ranking official in the Qing court, but you went to Lin Yuan's side? It's nothing, can you still respond to everything, and have followers like a cloud? No way. , never again, you might become a prisoner, or even a death row prisoner!"

Yuan Shikai shook his head lightly, and said with a smile: "You are wrong. If I follow the Qing court, I will definitely die in the end; if I follow Lin Yuan, although I will not have a prominent position, the glory and wealth are still within easy reach."

Kodama Gentaro laughed again, and said, "Yuan Shikai, why are you so naive as a child? Will Lin Yuan give you glory and wealth?"

Yuan Shikai smiled and asked, "Why not? Lin Yuan is a broad-minded person."

Kodama Gentaro smiled disdainfully: "With the festive relationship between you and Lin Yuan, how dare you guarantee that Lin Yuan will not retaliate against you in the future?"

Yuan Shikai laughed loudly and said, "I've already considered this! I've come up with a trick to make Lin Yuan treat me respectfully in the future!"

Kodama Gentaro looked at Yuan Shikai suspiciously, and said, "Can you do this?"

Yuan Shikai nodded and smiled and said, "Of course! General Kodama's eyes are full of doubts, so I'll show you this method." After Yuan Shikai finished speaking, he called Yuan Er and said, "Bring Miss Wen Sili here."

Yuan Er agreed to go out, and brought Wen Sili over when he was in a hurry. Yuan Shikai smiled at Kodama Gentaro, "Do you know her?"

Kodama Gentaro had indeed met Wen Sili, but he couldn't figure out who she was for a while, so Yuan Shikai laughed and said, "This is the world-renowned reporter—Miss Wen Sili."

Wen Sili knew Kodama Gentaro and knew his relationship with the Qing court. Seeing him being detained by the Qing court, she knew that this was big news. She felt excited, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly. After hearing Yuan Shikai's introduction He smiled politely.

Yuan Shikai took out a letter from his sleeve, handed it to Wen Sili, and said with a smile: "Send this thing immediately, I guarantee that what's in the letter will get you promoted, and you can even have money to start your own newspaper office!"

Wen Sili suppressed the excitement in her heart, took the letter, opened it, and trembled with excitement, said "My God" three times in a row, and then said: "I will send this letter immediately."

Yuan Shikai smiled and said, "Miss Wen Sili, haven't you seen General Kodama staring at this letter? You understand men's thoughts so well, why don't you read this letter to General Kodama?"

Wen Sili heard "understanding men's minds", and thinking of what happened tonight, she couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly picked up the letter and read: "I am Yuan Shikai, the Qing court's rebellious general, and I declare that from now on, I will sever everything from the Qing court." Communication, follow the command of General Lin Yuan, and obey the laws of the People's Republic of China! I have captured the leader of the Japanese invading army Kodama Gentaro, and surrounded a regiment of the Japanese invading army. I hope Lin Yuan and I will work together to wipe out the Japanese army. Kou, drink horses from the Yangtze River and go straight to Nanjing!"

Kodama Gentaro was dumbfounded after hearing the contents of the letter, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "Crazy, really crazy, what are you doing?"

Yuan Shikai gave Wen Sili a wink, Wen Sili trotted all the way to send a message, Yuan Shikai walked up to Kodama Gentaro and said with a smile: "Did you know? That woman has slept with every man in her reporter team!"

Kodama Gentaro snorted coldly, and said, "Yuan Shikai, I don't want to hear about these romantic affairs, I just want to tell you, do you think this letter of yours can be exchanged for prosperity and wealth?"

Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "Let me tell you the reason. First of all, as soon as my letter was sent out, I was a hero against the Qing court. Lin Yuan's previous propaganda was calling on everyone to help him overthrow the Qing court. I am The hero who overthrew the Qing court, so Lin Yuan must be respectful to me, if Lin Yuan dares to attack me, Lin Yuan will raise his hand and slap himself in the face, Lin Yuan will never do that!"

"Second, I have done some things that made Lin Yuan feel uncomfortable before, but I caught you - Kodama Gentaro, the number one wise general of the Japanese army, and my subordinates are encircling and annihilating the elite Japanese army - the First Volunteer Aid Army of the Empire of Japan In the Fourth Regiment, Lin Yuan’s propaganda has always called those who fought against the Japanese army a national hero, so I am a national hero, do you think Lin Yuan dares to attack me, a national hero, because of those things that make him unhappy?”

Kodama Gentaro was speechless, knowing that everything Yuan Shikai said was true, he gritted his teeth and said, "Good Yuan Shikai, your calculations are really deep enough."

Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "My family still has a lot of property, most of which are in business houses. I can definitely go home and become a rich businessman. Although I have no power, my life will still be very comfortable. , and from now on, I'll have no paperwork, and I'll have a good time."

After Yuan Shikai finished speaking, he laughed, and said to his subordinates: "Take this guy down, let the telegraph office send a report to the Fourth Regiment, saying that I have taken refuge in Lin Yuan, and let them stop resisting."

Yuan Shikai's subordinates detained Kodama Gentaro, and Wen Sili also sent Yuan Shikai's letter in the name of a Times reporter. This letter was like a blockbuster, instantly detonating Lin Yuan, the Qing court, and the world powers. !

The first person to receive this open telegram was Lin Yuan. Because the Seventh Division was fighting, Lin Yuan didn't sleep at all. When Lin Yuan received the telegram, he first doubted the authenticity of the telegram, so he gave Xiao Yingwu I sent a message and asked about the battle situation, and the answer I got was: Yuan Shikai's troops are fighting the Japanese army!

Lin Yuan immediately thought: "It seems that this matter is true! But why did Yuan Shikai do this?" Lin Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and immediately thought through Yuan Shikai's wishful thinking. Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Since Yuan Shikai can help me fight against the Qing court, the past can naturally be ignored. In addition, I bullied him during our holidays before. I didn't suffer at all. Now that he has surrendered to me, I don't have to take revenge on him."

"However, when Yuan Shikai was an official of the Qing court, he must have done some outrageous things, such as disregarding human life, embezzlement and bribery, etc. Almost every official of the Qing court has done these things. If the investigation is too involved, it is better not to pursue it. So Lin Yuan put down the telegram, called the press officer, and said, "Immediately send an open telegram to Yuan Shikai in my name, saying that I welcome him to follow me to overthrow the Qing court. Yet?"

The press officer agreed to come down and go out, and then the people who received Yuan Shikai’s open telegram were the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and other countries. The first thing they felt when they received this telegram was shock. What shocked them was not Yuan Shikai’s betrayal, but Yuan Shikai captured Kodama Gentaro, which marked the complete bankruptcy of the powers' plot to use Japan to interfere in China. European powers wanted to interfere in China, so they had to think of other ways, so all countries became ants on the hot pot. Send a telegram to your own country to discuss countermeasures.
