This reason can not only be used for the Beiyang generals, but also for the Li Zhiyuan who once again appeared in his mind and made him sleepless and sleepless after Japan. He wanted to show "selflessness" in front of the whole country, but also had to be justified.

To regain his military power and not be criticized by the outside world, I am afraid that the only way is to join the war.

Ever since he became aware of Li Zicheng's threat, Yuan Shikai had been planning how to make Li Zicheng "free himself". At this time, following Liang Shiyi's thoughts, he only felt that maybe this was a good idea.

It's a simple idea. If twenty divisions are sent, then the Central Army will send ten, and then some new divisions will be drawn from various provinces, and then a few will be mobilized from Jiangsu. In this way, the strength of all parties can be weakened, and the reason is

perfect.

For the future of the country, the military should make appropriate sacrifices!

This is a good reason!

As for the transfer of ten divisions from the Central Army, we can first select those "miscellaneous" ones, and then use the old foundation of the old Beiyang. After the troops are dispatched, they can use French loans to continue to expand the new army in the name of training the participating armies. This way

As a result, by sending at most two or three troops, the Jiangsu Army and the Sixth Beiyang Division can all be transferred to Europe. Well, there is also the First Army that Xu Shuzheng wants to capture. Naturally, the casualties among the troops should be replenished by the central government. In this way

First, by the time the European War is over and those troops have almost had their blood replaced, the Jiangsu Army of tomorrow will naturally no longer be the Jiangsu Army of today.

After the war is over, we can follow the trend and use the excuse of disarmament to withdraw the divisions that should be withdrawn, and the generals that "should" be promoted to the central government. In this way, the government will be established, and all military power will be returned to the central government.

"Yansun, this matter is indeed beneficial to the country, but you are not unaware of the difficulties involved!"

After thinking about everything, Yuan Shikai was in a good mood and said with a smile on his face and a sincere speech.

"So, if you want to send troops, I'm afraid it will be decided directly by the central government, which may frighten all parties. In this case, it may only lead to chaos. Well, now that we are a republic, all democracy is the greatest, and public opinion should come first in everything.

We should follow the will of the people!"

If Yuan Shikai learned anything after the Republic of China, it was probably how to use "Republicanism" to his own advantage. In his words, he used "Republicanism to attack the Republic of China." This was true even in this meeting!

"Well, what the president said is true. If the people know the benefits of sending troops to join the war, they will naturally support sending troops to join the war. With the support of the whole country, if some people want to oppose it, they will be weak and weak!"

The president's reminder made Liang Shiyi immediately understand the president's thoughts. He wanted to use public opinion for his own benefit, so that he could clarify himself in front of all forces and be "forced" to follow public opinion. This plan of the president

The calculation is really wonderful.

"But President, this is the word "reason", but on the French side, how should we respond!"

Although he understood what the president meant, Liang Shiyi knew that this incident should not be delayed for a long time, otherwise things would change if it was delayed.

"As for the French, it's easy to deal with. You can talk to them. First, tell them that this president agrees to send troops, but sending troops is a big deal and needs to be discussed and decided by Congress. After all, China is a republic. I want to talk to France about this.

People can understand, and the conflict between China and Japan has not yet subsided, so we can only wait until the conflict between China and Japan is over before making a decision to avoid opposition from the Chinese people. Well, in this case, the French will definitely be willing to support us in the negotiations. By then,

Yansun, please..."

When Yuan Shikai whispered, Liang Shiyi kept nodding in agreement, and his vision suddenly widened.

At this time, a light snow fell outside the window. This was the first snow since winter entered the capital.
