There were four people at the table.
At this moment, Old Duan, Old Yuan, and Old Li looked at the telegram in confusion.
What's going on, little brother?
They were having a good meal, so why did this happen?
"Ahem, that Division Commander Zhang. Don't be impatient! I believe that it won't be long before the Gui Zi Empire gives us an explanation.”Old Yuan waved his hand, signaling Commander Zhang to calm down.
The Guandong Army wanted to assassinate Zhang Xuefeng because of the incident of the Fengjun Company Commander shooting the Japanese.
Combined with the battle at the Tongtian Mountains, Old Yuan and the other two had a vague belief in the accuracy of this news.
However, was Tachibana Koichiro an idiot?
To make a move in that kind of situation, he was either a fool, or he purely treated others as fools.
The old marshal placed the telegram in his hand on the table and said helplessly,""The Grand President said to wait, so our Old Zhang will wait. What else could he do? Our 27th division is a child without a mother and a father. Not only did he not have enough to eat or wear, he could only swallow his anger when he was bullied.”
Old Yuan and the other two felt awkward when they heard this.
It was obvious that Old Yuan was treating her differently!
To be honest, Old Yuan had been on guard against Commander Zhang.
After all, he was born in Greenwood. What was the biggest characteristic of such a person?
He was nothing more than a robber with great ambition.
However, ever since Marshal Zhang attacked the presidential palace, everything he did made Old Yuan extremely comfortable.
"Old Zhang, since I'm in this position, I naturally won't be biased towards anyone.”Old Yuan and Old Duan looked at each other.
Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong picked up their glasses from the table.
The two of them did not seem to care about the conversation between Marshal Zhang and Old Yuan. Instead, they smiled and drank a cup of wine.
However, after drinking the wine, the two of them played with the wine glass in their hands.
Marshal Zhang was stunned and quietly looked around the room.
Damn it, I'm afraid these bastards are hiding someone!
This dog surnamed Yuan really wanted to kill him!
If he hadn't followed Zhang Xuefeng's instructions from the beginning, he would have been beheaded by now.
Her words just now had probably aroused Old Yuan's suspicion again.
But Zhang Xuefeng was his son after all! He was the hope of the three provinces of Fengtian!
Knowing that Zhang Xuefeng was almost assassinated, how could he not be angry?
In his anger, he spoke a little anxiously.
After all, he sounded like he was complaining about Old Yuan.
"Old Zhang, the situation in the three provinces of Fengtian is extremely dangerous now. It's all because of your military prestige that we have today's peace. Now that the three provinces of Fengtian have been ravaged by foreign invaders, they naturally need the position of the governor of the three provinces of Fengtian to coordinate. No one is more suitable for this position than you.”
Old Yuan said as he picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of wine for Marshal Zhang.
Zhang Xueshuai cursed in his heart.
This guy was too much of a joke!
If he agreed, Duan Qirui and Li Yuanhong's wine glasses would probably fall to the ground.
In the next second, there would probably be dozens of guns pointed at him.
"Grand President! You can't do that!"
Marshal Zhang quickly stood up and brought Old Yuan's wine glass to him.
"Who am I, Old Zhang? It's fine to lead a soldier to fight a war. If you want me to take this position, then you're thinking too highly of me.”
Marshal Zhang stood up and said seriously,""Maintaining the overall situation and protecting the public is the duty of a soldier. I hope that the Grand President will choose a new candidate. The 27th Division will definitely support him!”
Old Yuan's expression flickered when he heard that.
This was his final test for Marshal Zhang.
If Marshal Zhang really accepted the position of Commander-in-Chief, he would not hesitate to press him to death here.
But now, it seemed like Marshal Zhang really treated him as a soldier.
Everything was centered around listening to the opinions of the presidential palace.
"If that's not good, then what does that make you? With so many contributions, if I don't become the commander-in-chief in the end, others will say that I, Old Yuan, am narrow-minded.”Old Yuan frowned and pretended to be angry.
It's coming, it's coming!
Damn it, it was exactly as his son had guessed!
Old Yuan followed Marshal Zhang's gaze and looked at the gold watch on his neck. He was stunned.
From the beginning of the meal, he noticed that Marshal Zhang had noticed this watch several times.
"You like this watch of mine?" Old Yuan asked with a smile.
"I like these shiny gold things." Marshal Zhang chuckled. Men, who the hell didn't love money? President, to be honest with you, I, Zhang, was born a bandit. I led troops to war and whatnot so that I could have a life of debauchery and endless money in the future.”
Old Yuan burst into laughter.
So this was all this little guy had in mind?
Old Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at Marshal Zhang. He took off the gold watch on his neck and handed it to Marshal Zhang.
"Good, good, good! Little Zhang, you really know how to enjoy yourself! How about this, since you've come this time, you can't go back for nothing. I'll allocate 20 million yuan to your 27th Division and five Krupp M190875mm 30x field cannons! And 50 cannonballs! As for the rifles, I won't ask. You can buy them yourself.”
"I recently read in the newspaper that the people of the three provinces of Fengtian are complaining that the four divisions I sent to Shanhaiguan have bad fishing vessels. You have to explain to them when you return to the three provinces of Fengtian this time.”
Old Yuan said righteously.
Commander Zhang was overjoyed when he heard what Old Yuan had given him.
20 million dollars, 5 field cannons, and 50 cannonballs!
Damn it, it was enough for him to go back and expand a few more divisions!
"Your Majesty, oh no, President, don't worry! I will go back and manage the army well. I will guard the three provinces of Fengtian for you.”
When Old Yuan heard Marshal Zhang's casual address, the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Marshal Zhang, don't call me by the wrong name in the future! In this era, there was no such thing as a king.”
Commander Zhang shook his head." I'm stupid. This title is the same!" In our hearts, you are His Majesty.”
Wasn't it just to flatter him?
Marshal Zhang said with a smile while muttering in his heart.
A few good words in exchange for so many things.
Damn it, who would want to hear it? It didn't matter if he talked for a few days and nights.
This deal was really worth it!
This son of his was really godly.
She actually knew what Old Yuan was thinking.
"Report! Grand President, the Guizi Empire has sent an urgent message to my presidential palace: " Our empire is negotiating with Tianhai City in the three provinces of Fengtian because of the case of the commander of the Fengjun killing a foreigner. During the negotiation, a killer attacked, causing our empire's Major General Fuyuan to die and the son of Marshal Zhang to be frightened.”
"According to the analysis of our empire, this matter was definitely not done by Fengjun! It definitely wasn't done by the Imperial Guandong Army! It is most likely that the Russians learned of the negotiations and wanted to use this to trigger a conflict between our empire and your side. He hoped that the Grand President could explain the situation and tell the commander of the Feng army not to be impulsive in case he fell into the trap of the thief!”
"I heard that the commander of the Fengtian army is in the presidential palace. I hope to return to Fengtian as soon as possible to control the army! To prevent the garrison in Skysea City from clashing with our army!”
