Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 270
The closer to such a critical moment in history, Cheng Nuo, who was alone, felt more distraught.

"No, I have to sort things out. If this goes on like a headless chicken bumping around, it won't solve any real problems."

Taking scrap paper and pencils, Cheng Nuo spread them out on the desk, followed the historical trend, and made a huge fishbone diagram, marking the upcoming events at each time point.

The more important things, the more prominent they are.

But looking at it, Cheng Nuo seemed to have discovered something extraordinary from the mess, and the discovery of this incident made him feel stuck in his throat.

"In 1914, 1915, 1916...1924, hey, hundreds of wars broke out in the country within a few years, either in war or on the way to war. Sometimes the president changed to the emperor, and sometimes the emperor was replaced by the president. , the 'No. [-] person' will be replaced every year on average for ten years,
After careful calculation, three cabinet ministers step down and come on stage every year. It is an extremely rare thing to be placed in any dynasty or generation. The small African countries of later generations will be out of reach. Well, it's really hard to develop such a turbulent public house! "

Seeing Cheng Nuo here, an urge to break the pot and smash the pot flashed through his mind. It is too difficult to develop in this environment.

What's more, these warlords are not simply reckless people. They all have more or less support from Western countries or Eastern island countries. Once Cheng Nuo develops a certain industry, it will affect their own interests in China. Whether something bad will happen, even Cheng Nuo himself has no idea.

Japan, for example, directly showed its card: "The whole country of China is in chaos, and it is clear that it will intervene and sort it out."

Counting forward, Napoleon also said: "China is a sleeping lion. When he wakes up, the whole world will tremble, so never let him wake up!" "

Just as Cheng Nuo was still thinking hard about how to dismantle the encirclement and suppression by the great powers in the future, suddenly a gust of wind blew from outside, blowing the things on the table upside down.

The map puzzle that had been put together on the wall before was also broken to the ground and became fragmented.

It just so happened that when Cheng Nuo went to pick up these parts, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across his mind, as if there was a way out for the problem he was worried about before, his thoughts rushed to all parts of his body instantly like a tide, and he couldn't help but tremble.

"It doesn't seem impossible to do this..."

Just do what you say, in order to prevent this kind of inspiration from disappearing, Cheng Nuo simply put all the work at hand aside temporarily, crossed the threshold and ran to the door of Jiang Jiangzuo's dormitory, and saw that the lights were still on inside, he felt relieved .

"Bang bang bang~"

"Who? It's so cold at night, what are you doing here without sleep?!" Jiang Jiangzuo's embarrassing voice came from inside the room.

"I, haven't you slept yet? Open the door quickly, I have something important to discuss with you." Knowing that it would be impolite to disturb the other party so late, Cheng Nuo's tone was as polite as possible.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Jiangzuo heard someone's voice and knew who was standing at the door, he would pull the light directly, indicating that he had already taken off his clothes/warmed the bed and was about to sleep. Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Although he knew that the other party was joking, it was Cheng Nuo who was at fault right now. In the end, it took a lot of effort to talk it out, and finally opened the door successfully.

"Let's talk about it first, I'm not looking at that Erjin Laobai's job, but I'm thinking about our years of friendship with classmates. If I leave outsiders, I'll drive him away from Erli long ago. It's you, Cheng Zhiyuan." Jiang Jiangzuo deliberately put on a serious face, as if he had suffered a lot.

"Yes, yes, it's really inappropriate to disturb you so late." Cheng Nuo nodded while looking around, and suddenly found that something was wrong with the bed, so he began to move there quietly.

Jiang Jiangzuo here still didn't know it, and he was holding a kettle to heat the cup: "But then again, there must be something wrong with you looking for me so late, so tell me quickly."

"I do have something to discuss with you..." Seeing that he had already moved to the side of the bed, Cheng Nuo didn't rush to cover his ears, and directly touched the inner part of the edge of the quilt.

Good guy, it's really cold, I was just blackmailing him.

Jiang Jiangzuo was not a fool either. Seeing that his friend was already groping by the bed, he didn't know that the matter had been revealed, so he quickly handed over the cup of poured water.

"Come on, come on, it's late at night and drink some hot tea to keep you warm. If you catch a cold, it's not worth it. I just thought about it, and I'm really sorry that you need two bottles of Lao Baigan just because of this matter. I think this matter will be revealed at this point." Let's go."

Cheng Nuo still didn't know what the other party was thinking. He was clearly trying to gag him with hot tea, so he said deliberately, "That's not going to happen. I will definitely do what I promised you. If you don't keep your promises, I'll kill you." It’s hard to pass the name, but we have to make an agreement on the day of drinking, we won’t go home until we’re drunk.”

Seeing that he was lifting a rock to hit himself in the foot, Jiang Jiangzuo kept complaining in his heart. If he had known, it would be better to let this old enemy go. Who can drink better than him, that guy is like drinking water. When it's over, he can still perform a backflip, which can't be measured by ordinary people.

"Okay, you are still really strange. You don't like to drink very much, but the amount of alcohol is almost the same as the amount of water. It is really unbelievable. I can't do it by myself. At that time, I will have to bring Lao Guo, Lao Cheng, Lao Wu and the others together. Well, it's almost like playing a wheel battle with you." After thinking about it, Jiang Jiangzuo agreed.

Cheng Nuo laughed and said, "That's a good deal. You won't be allowed to play tricks at that time, but before drinking, we have one more important matter to discuss with everyone. I will send you a letter tonight."

When it came to business, Jiang Jiangzuo immediately put away his smile: "Is it related to domestic affairs after the European War?"

Cheng Nuo replied, "Yes, it happened after the war."

Jiang Jiangzuo licked his lips, and suddenly realized: "Let me just say, if you can think about foreign affairs after the European War, you will naturally not ignore our base camp. I wanted to mention this at the meeting before, but I thought you might There will be other arrangements, so I didn’t say it directly.”

Picking up the teacup in his hand, Cheng Nuo sat back on the chair: "Actually, I was thinking about this matter before the end of the European War, but there were many things at that time, and I didn't figure it out at the time, but it's different now Now, the European war is over, next month is the new year, we have to do something."

Jiang Jiangzuo also followed to the tea table and asked, "So have you come up with a countermeasure tonight?"

Cheng Nuo nodded: "If there is no other better way, what I'm thinking tonight should be the best solution."

Jiang Jiangzuo asked: "Then what is your idea?"

Cheng Nuo was not in a hurry to solve the puzzle directly, but went through all the pockets on his body, took out all the map fragments inside, and put them in a pile on the coffee table.

Jiang Jiangzuo was confused by this series of operations, and asked, "What are you doing? Don't tell me the answer is in these children's toys."

Not only did Cheng Nuo not deny it, but he admitted it wholeheartedly: "Hey, you are really right. These little gadgets are the reason I came to you."

Cheng Nuo chose a part of the provincial map and put it on the table alone: ​​"Lifu, have you noticed that behind these famous warlords, big and small, there are more or less Shadows of some foreigners."

Jiang Jiangzuo frowned, staring closely at these provinces, and seemed to have found something after being dialed in this way: "It seems... that's really the case, isn't there a Japanese behind Duan Qirui right now? ?”

Picking up the fragments of the map on the table, Cheng Nuo said, "Duan Qirui is not the only one who has the shadow of Japan behind him. For example, Dongbei and Zhang Dongbei, who have gradually gained momentum, all have the support of the Japanese to some extent.

As for Britain and the United States, there are Yuan Xiangcheng in the past, and Cao Kun, Wu Pei and Fu in the future, who are also secretly supporting their own forces. The so-called "I will take the stage when you end, and the king's banner will change at the top of the city." , basically these people are behind it..."

In a few words, Cheng Nuo basically told the warlords of the Beiyang government and the forces behind them, which gave Jiang Jiangzuo a more intuitive understanding.

Assembling the fragments of the map in his hand step by step, Jiang Jiangzuo couldn't hide the surprise on his face: "It seems that there are great powers behind these people, and almost no one is spared. within control."

Embracing the teacup in both hands, Cheng Nuo took a sip of the hot tea: "When Yuan Datou proclaimed himself emperor, none of the foreign envoys at that time expressed disapproval of him, and when Zhang Xun was restored, Germany continued to provide him with arms, Willing to use the capital of Dehua Bank to assist in making great things happen, and the Japanese will fan the flames.

Every time there is a turmoil, basically these guys are behind it, in order to make our country more chaotic, so that they can grab more benefits from it. "

Although there are great powers behind each warlord, there are still great differences in starting points and interests between the great powers.

During the First World War, Japan gradually broke the balance of power among the foreign powers invading China, especially after the death of Yuan Datou, these powers lost their common spokesperson for invading us.

At this time, there is no "strong man" to succeed. Obviously, those who advocate "unification by force" in the country and hold great power can only be attributed to the pro-Japanese Anhui warlords.

This situation is what Japan wants, and other powers are unwilling to accept it.

Therefore, for their own interests and spheres of influence in China, the various powers sought their own spokespersons, and used the cultivated spokespersons to guard their spheres of influence or achieve the goals they wanted to achieve but could not achieve for a while.

In promoting the division and reorganization of the Beiyang warlords, the Japanese imperialists acted the earliest and went the farthest.When Britain, the United States, France, and Germany unanimously defended Yuan Datou as a "strong man" and supported him to proclaim himself emperor, Japan did the opposite and pursued the policy of making trouble and removing Yuan.

"These two groups are colluding with each other, and they are closer than ever. You say that we are developing national industries, are you harming the interests of the great powers? When they are dissatisfied enough, they will secretly instruct their 'agents' to make trouble. Then It's hard for us to end." Looking at the map on the table, Cheng Nuo said slowly.

Jiang Jiangzuo was thoughtful: "The tide rises and falls, rises and dies quickly, but it is a pity that it is us ordinary people who suffer in the end."

Cheng Nuo said solemnly: "For these big guys, we will definitely not be able to go head-to-head. No amount of fists can defeat hot weapons, but everything is not so absolute. We can consider breaking it up into parts."

Jiang Jiangzuo asked: "How to break it up into parts? Didn't we always use the name of the Academy of Sciences to lead various factories and research laboratories to the world?"

Cheng Nuo shook his head: "At this moment, at that moment, my previous thinking was a little simple. I thought of combining the power of the academic and business circles to make some forces flinch, but in the face of absolute power, it is really too small. Think about it, people don't take us seriously at all, and the public will not make decisions for us."

Jiang Jiangzuo sighed. He wanted to take a sip of tea, but he ignored the freshly poured water in the cup and almost scalded his tongue.

Cheng Nuo hurried over to check the details. After seeing that the other party was fine, he was relieved: "We must be more careful in the future. Only when our Academy of Sciences dives underwater as a whole and let the world forget it will not be easy to be directly targeted. You can slowly map it secretly, the previous goal is really too big."

Jiang Jiangzuo echoed: "If you think about it carefully, it's true. If the enemy doesn't care about anything and directly attacks our Academy of Sciences with precision, among other things, just having vicious and vicious people coming to attack is a loss we cannot afford. "

Thinking about what happened in Shanghai before, Cheng Nuo didn't think that he would be much safer in Beijing, and he would have to expand the size of the school guards later.

But there are more important things right now, and the school guards still have to be put aside for the time being.

"In addition to our Academy of Sciences having to keep a low profile, our factories also need to be divided. The ideal effect is that there are our factories or companies in various places, but the relationship between these institutions cannot be known to the outside world. The factory was attacked and the damage was acceptable."

After thinking about it, Cheng Nuo selected a few provinces and introduced them to the key areas.

Jiang Jiangzuo asked curiously, "Then what industries are you going to start with now?"

Cheng Nuo said slowly: "In addition to those we already have, we can also try weaving, flour and foreign cigarettes!"

Among them, the textile industry and the flour industry need not be said. Although the Academy of Sciences does not have direct contact with them, they are basically related.

In the textile industry, there is Zhang Jian’s Dasheng Spinning Mill, and in the flour industry, there is the Shanghai Flour Union. The relationship between them is very harmonious.

"But what is this foreign cigarette? Is it directly related to the previous two?"

"Of course it does. These three industries are the fastest-growing industries now and in the future."
