As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Shikai's eyes suddenly became colder and colder. The reason why he stopped speaking in a hurry was because he realized that now that he was the great president of the Republic of China, he had no confidence to face Li Zhiyuan, even though he became cautious, even though he became cautious.

His eyes were cold, but Yuan Shikai continued.

"We can't lag behind Huang Xing's gang. We must also send people to Lianyungang to express condolences. Brother Zhiyuan has really worked hard this time and his achievements will last for a long time. We must not make people's hearts cold for those who are ambitious.

Used by others..."

At this time, Yuan Shikai seemed to have returned to the Yuan Shikai who "employed people only based on their talents". It seemed that this was his true appearance, but when he spoke, the coldness in his eyes revealed his state of mind.

Li Zhiyuan! We need to find a way!

After Jiang Zuobin reported on the situation on the battlefield in Qingdao, when he was in his office, Li Zicheng turned his attention to Zhang Binglin, who had been hesitant to speak. Like many people, he also came to Lianyungang and entered the Economic and Strategic Mission just after this conflict.

Office.

"What, Brother Taiyan, do you have anything to say?"

"Jing Lue, it seems that there is no suspense in this battle!"

Zhang Binglin's tone seemed very calm. In fact, yesterday, when the news of the total annihilation of the First Fleet came, even he, who was mature and steady, shouted excitedly like everyone else. His calmness at this time, on the contrary,

It is the calm after excitement.

After calming down, out of some political sensitivity, Zhang Binglin realized that the status of the young man in front of him had fundamentally changed; he was no longer the industrial businessman who owned many cities along the way, but a man with one fell swoop.

A politician whose every move attracts the attention of the whole country, and more importantly, in today's China, he is the only person who has the ability to challenge Yuan Shikai politically, militarily, and economically.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Binglin knew that for the manager in front of him, defeating Japan did not relieve him of his crisis. In fact, the exposed strength actually plunged him into a new crisis.

"There is no suspense in the war. Now..."

After pondering, Li Zicheng smiled at Zhang Binglin.

"During the Russo-Japanese War, after the Japanese victory in the Battle of Mukden, Kodama Gentaro once said something!"

After pausing for a moment, Li Zicheng added while sighing in his heart about Japan's luck in history.

"Once a war starts, the biggest issue is how to end it. Now, for us, the biggest issue is how to end this war!"

Zhang Binglin's words were within Zhang Binglin's expectation. The manager in front of him was too simple. Perhaps this was what attracted others to him. Faced with this answer, he shook his head gently and said.

"Indeed, how to end this conflict may be very important, but what I am thinking about, Jin Lue Envoy, is the positioning of the Jin Lue Envoy, the Jin Lue Envoy's Office, and Longhai Road after this war is over. This..."

Zhang Binglin raised his eyes slightly and looked at the envoy, and said seriously.

"This is the most important thing!"

"you mean……"

Zhang Binglin only made Li Zicheng frown slightly. It was something he wanted to resist and something he didn't want to touch.

"After this battle, when it comes to prestige, I am afraid that the general will be as good as the president. In terms of civilian prestige alone, if the general is considered second, I am afraid that no one in China will dare to think first!"

Zhang Binglin truthfully told what he had thought about all night yesterday. This is what happened in China. This conflict made the general manager a hero. The victory was the first national war won by China since the Opium War.

, and the victory was beautiful and easy. At that time, the people would not hesitate to use any words to praise the Jinglue Envoy, but for the Jinglue Envoy, it was no less than a kind of flattery.

The Jinglue Envoy may not have meant it, but who knows if others did? What's more, with Yuan Shikai's shrewdness, how could he not see the threat the Jinglue Envoy posed to him? How could he sit back and watch this threat and allow it to continue?

Develop and grow.

"By then, I'm afraid the President will be extremely uncomfortable! If the President is uncomfortable, even if the Economic and Strategic Envoy wants to be the Huaihai Economic and Strategic Envoy and develop the Longhai Railway with peace of mind, it may not be possible!"

Zhang Binglin, who had been "trapped" by the great president in the Northeast, had an instinctive resistance to Yuan Shikai, so he was worried about that. He looked at the manager with worry and persuaded him earnestly.

"Jinglue Envoy, the President currently controls only 300,000 troops, but the Jiangsu Army controlled by the Economic Envoy has ten divisions and 160,000 people. It is as strong as the air force and has the power of a great victory.

If the strategic plan allows us to march north after this battle..."

Before he could finish the rest of the words in a hurry, Zhang Binglin saw Li Zicheng suddenly laugh, but the laughter had other meanings, a little helpless, a little disappointed, and even a little - angry!

While laughing, thinking about Zhang Binglin's words, Li Zicheng felt as if there was a fire in his heart. What was he talking about? Was he trying to persuade himself that he should fight a civil war?

Is this history? But Li Zicheng, who was unwilling to let his emotions explode, suddenly snorted and reached out to interrupt Zhang Binglin. There was no need to listen to him anymore.

"Let's wait until this is over before we talk about all this!"

(When I was a child, I only knew that I was very happy. When I grow up, I know the meaning of this day, but I can never go back. Haha, spend a happy Children's Day with your baby! Haha! I also wish you a happy birthday.
