Jagged Warlord

Li Mohan looked at Sevitz very seriously, and said, "But please believe me, even if China declares war on Germany, it does not mean that the Chinese government and the Chinese people are hostile to Germany."

Savitz lost his previous air and arrogance, and said dejectedly: "If that's the case, we will become aliens from the enemy country. How will you treat us?"

Li Mohan smiled and said: "You are still my employees, and I will treat you like other employees. When the war is over, if you are willing to stay in China, I welcome it. If you want to return to the motherland, I welcome it."

"Okay. I believe you." Sevitz stood up and saluted Li Mohan respectfully, "Major of the German Army, Claude von Sevitz, is willing to serve you."

Li Mohan also stood up, and gave a SS-style military salute to Sevetz, "You Germans are known for your rigor, and I hope that your arrival can bring this advantage to our Chinese Communists."

After leaving the industrial park, Li Mohan got into the car and went back to the guardian mission.The little concubine, Xi Que, has already prepared meals and is waiting for him. Although Xi Que tried her best to cater to Li Mohan, Li Mohan felt that it was difficult for him to find a common language with her, so he fell into a deep sleep after the routine.Fortunately, Magpie is a very traditional woman. Although she understands the problem in her heart, she doesn't complain.

When he woke up the next day, he was still happily helping Li Mohan dress and wash.

Breakfast was pancakes and millet porridge made by Magpie himself, as well as snacks made in the kitchen. Li Mohan drank another cup of Longjing before slowly coming to the office to start work.Although it is up to him here, Li Mohan never arrives at the office later than nine o'clock.

Secretary Shang Yifu actually arrived at 08:30. He waited until Li Mohan entered the office to sit down before he came out of the living room and knocked on the door to enter.

"Support, people from the Military Intelligence Department have invited Miss Lin Jianqiu to Shangqiu." Shang Yifu said

"Yeah!" Li Mohan hurriedly said, "Please."

"Yes." Shang Yifu walked out of the office and said to the little clerk at the door: "Go to the reception room and invite Miss Lin."

Lin Jianqiu was taken from Beijing to Shangqiu, where he lived under semi-house arrest. He walked around the city casually, but he couldn't leave Shangqiu.Lin Jianqiu felt resentful at first, but after living in Shangqiu for a few days, he noticed the difference.Lin Jianqiu wrote several manuscripts of what he had seen and heard in Shangqiu in the past few days. Looking at his brainchild, Lin Jianqiu was very happy, but then shook his head and sighed.

"I am under house arrest myself, and it is even more impossible for these manuscripts to see the light of day."

Just when Lin Jianqiu was lamenting, someone came to inform him that Li Mohan, the guard envoy, wanted to see her.

Lin Jianqiu was led by a clerk to Li Mohan's office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a tall and handsome man in his 20s wearing a white suit standing in the middle of the office to greet him with a smiling face.

"Hello, you are Miss Lin Jianqiu, the big reporter." Li Mohan smiled and shook hands with Lin Jianqiu

Lin Jianqiu only felt his heart beat a few times, then he came back to his senses and shook hands with Li Mohan, "Hello, I am Lin Jianqiu."

Lin Jianqiu's hand was very soft, Li Mohan subconsciously held it for a few more seconds, which made Lin Jianqiu's face slightly shy.

But she recovered quickly.

Li Mohan said straight to the point: "I don't like going around in circles. Let's put it this way, I plan to start a newspaper, but I lack a pen that dares to speak and write."

Lin Jianqiu asked with a smile: "When I was in Datong Daily, I dared to write and speak out. As a result, the Japanese and Beiyang governments put pressure on the editor-in-chief, and the editor-in-chief had to fire me. Aren't you afraid?"

"Ha!" Li Mohan patted the table lightly, and said with a smile: "I am everything in Shangqiu, and I have the final say. Who dares to put pressure on me?"

Lin Jianqiu smiled indifferently, and asked again: "But I heard that you were attacking Zhang Xun's braided army, but the Japanese made you stop after a single notice. It seems that what you just said~~There is water." Lin Jianqiu's The rhetorical question is sharp.

"Okay, well said." Li Mohan said with puns and a little ambiguous teasing, "I just like you."

"That's exactly why I invited you here." Li Mohan said, "Whether the policy of [-] yuan rent reduction and land-for-share exchange policy I implemented in Shangqiu is a tyranny or a benevolent government, Miss Lin, you should have seen it." Li Mohan said with righteous indignation : "The old man Zhang Xun condoned his subordinates to torture and kill the people, thinking that he could be confident if he hugged the Japanese's thigh. This kind of self-respecting person is a scum of the nation and a traitor. Especially when he takes refuge in the Japanese."

Lin Jianqiu asked: "You seem to hate the Japanese very much."

"Whether it is out of personal feelings or national interests, Japan is China's most ferocious enemy." Li Mohan said: "Based on my understanding of the Japanese and the judgment of the international situation, the appetite of the Japanese is not only Shandong and Qingdao, but It is our entire China. Now that Europe is fighting fiercely and has no time to look around, the Japanese are taking this opportunity to dominate China. Just watch, in a few days, little Japan will make even more unreasonable and cruel demands."

Lin Jianqiu sorted out his thoughts and asked, "So you mean you want me to criticize them in the newspaper?"

"Not only to criticize, but I also hope that, Miss Lin, you will use your three-foot pen to arouse the enthusiasm of the people of the country, and create a public opinion environment for the whole country." Li Mohan took out a contract from the drawer and handed it to Lin Jianqiu, "If If you accept my invitation, then you will sign this contract, and then you will be the editor-in-chief of "Voice of China."

"With so much confidence in me, you're not afraid that I'll mess it up?" Lin Jianqiu raised his eyes, looked at Li Mohan, and stretched out his hand to accept the contract.

"I don't worry about your work." Li Mohan smiled ambiguously, and touched the back of Lin Jianqiu's hand casually, "You have to rewrite how Zhang Xun colluded with the Japanese in the first report of the new newspaper.

Lin Jianqiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you trying to use me?"

"It's not using, it's hiring." Li Mohan corrected, "I gave you a platform to give full play to your talents. As for whether you want to do it or not, it's up to you." After speaking, Li Mohan took out another booklet, "This is "My View on Nationalism" which is a book explaining my political views. You can read it and make a decision after reading it."

Before Lin Jianqiu could answer, Li Mohan rang the electric bell on the table, "Shaw, arrange for someone to take Miss Lin back to the apartment."

Beijing Jurentang

An old man with a beard held a stack of manuscripts, handed them to Yuan Shikai in front of him respectfully, and said, "President, this is the new Constitution of the Republic of China. Please read it over."

Yuan Shikai waved his hand: "It's better for you to pick up the important ones and talk about it."

"Yes. The legislative structure has been changed from the two houses of the Senate to the unicameral system of the Legislative Yuan. Before the establishment of the Legislative Yuan, the Senate was responsible for acting. The members of the Senate are appointed by the President. The term of the President is ten years and can be re-elected unlimited times. The current President The right to recommend the next presidential candidate only needs to be sealed in advance with the Golden Harvest Gold Slip and stored in the Golden Chamber and Stone Room of the Presidential Palace. It will be opened after the death of the President. To manage the country's government affairs, the administrative power belongs to the President," said the old man shaking his head.

After Yuan Shikai listened, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Zhong has worked hard."

The old man's name is Li Jingxi, the nephew of Li Hongzhang, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in the Qing Dynasty, and the vice president of the Progressive Party after the Republic of China. He can be regarded as Liang Qichao's deputy.This new "Constitution of the Republic of China" with the unlimited power of the president was invented by Li Jingxi and others overnight under Yuan Shikai's instruction, and it naturally fit Yuan Shikai's taste.

Yuan Shikai's health deteriorated day by day. After the new year, counting with his fingers, Yuan Shikai was 56 years old.As long as the Yuan family served as officials in other places, none of them lived past sixty.Famous figures such as Yuan Jiasan, Yuan Baoheng, Yuan Baoling, and Yuan Baoqing, and even Yuan Shikai's father, Yuan Baozhong, also died in their prime. The 60-year-old mark has become a long-term nightmare in Yuan Shikai's heart, making him sleepless and restless.

"Maybe it's really like what the sorcerer said, the only way to change your fate against the sky?" Thinking of this, Yuan Shikai's lower back began to hurt faintly again.
