Chapter 168: Thousand Layers of Routines

A chuckle came from the phone, "Brother, am I calling at a bad time?"

"Ouch!" Lao Zhang apologized repeatedly, "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, I'm sorry."

Luo Jiu sighed, "Brother, don't say that. In fact, I should be the one to say sorry to you. What we talked about last time has changed."

Lao Zhang's heart skipped a beat. "What's the change?"

Luo Jiu said: "The new government cannot agree to your conditions for passing the throne to my nephew."

"Ah?" Lao Zhang panicked. "How can this be possible? This, this, this... this is what we agreed on.

I have changed into my new military uniform. Sister, you are going to be the president, so you must keep your word.

We are already brother and sister, and we are just short of kowtow and swear brotherhood. If you don't go fight the devils, we will have already held the flag-changing ceremony!"

"Yeah, who said it wasn't?" Luo Jiu comforted him, "I said so too, but someone in the army said that after all, we haven't sworn brotherhood yet. The flag-changing ceremony hasn't taken place yet, so no one knows which side you're on, brother.

What's more, the situation has changed today. Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and the Guangxi clique immediately contacted us and surrendered voluntarily.

He did not offer any conditions, but volunteered to go north to fight against Yuan Shikai.

Old Zhang cursed angrily: "Bah! His Gui army is far away in Guangdong and Guangxi. Waiting for them to go north to fight Yuan? The opportunity is gone!"

Luo Jiu said: "That's what I said, but they said that surrendering is for the purpose of making contributions. If they don't make any contributions, they won't be able to take credit for the National Salvation Army."

Lao Zhang hissed. The words sounded a bit harsh to him. Why did they seem to be directed at him?

Lao Zhang scratched his head and said, "Sister, is this true or false? Is this true?"

Luo Jiu said sincerely: "We are like siblings, how could I lie to you?"

Old Zhang was puzzled and muttered, "I have no grudges against those Guangxi clique bastards in the past or in the present, so let them surrender, why are they trying to please me?

I surrendered earlier than them. Although we did not make it public, the news had already spread. Who in the country didn't know that I, Zhang, had defected to the new government?

Besides, I am not greedy. I don’t want gold or silver, nor do I want houses or land. I just want to pass the throne to my son. Is that so difficult?”

Luo Jiu said helplessly: "Having said that, the system has been changed after all.

If it were up to me, considering the relationship between us brother and sister, I would agree to this condition.

But your sister, I am in this position and I cannot ignore the opinions of others, otherwise wouldn’t it become a dictatorship?

What's more, those who raised objections had their reasons. Today was the first day that Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and some of the Gui troops had already surrendered.

Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, who knows how many warlords will surrender.

Everyone else is unconditional, but you, Marshal Zhang, want to be special.

If everyone else asked to pass the throne to their son, wouldn't that cause chaos?

I want to speak up for you, but brother, you really haven't accomplished anything. I want to find a reason to speak up for you, but I can't find one.

You can't tell others that you are my brother and that's why I give you special treatment, right?"

Lao Zhang gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be embarrassed, sister. I won't make it difficult for you.

Aren't they just jealous that I got a good girl for nothing? Don't worry, I'll make you proud and I'll make a great contribution, and I'll make sure they shut up."

Luo Jiu suppressed his laughter and pretended to be puzzled: "Brother, how can you achieve great success right now? You should wait, I will help you think of other ways."

Lao Zhang waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it, sister. I just want to ask you, is capturing Yuan Datou alive considered a great achievement?

I, Old Zhang, was the first among these warlords to rise up against Yuan Shikai. Do I deserve special treatment?"

"You want to attack Beiping?" Luo Jiu pretended to be embarrassed. "No, the Gui army has already said they want to fight. Maybe the army has already set out. They spoke first, so you let them decide on this battle."

Lao Zhang refused outright, "No! I can't give them this credit no matter what. They have a long way to go, and I have a short way to go. I don't believe they can beat me."

Luo Jiu advised bitterly, "No, no, Beiping City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Brother, you are most afraid of the troops being wiped out. Let someone else do this job."

Old Zhang said disdainfully: "Although our Fengtian Army dare not compete with the National Salvation Army, we can still defeat Yuan Shikai with ease.

Wait for my news. I will capture Yuan Datou alive within two days."

Luo Jiu was helpless, "Well, brother, since you are so persistent, I can only wish you success.

If you need any support, just ask. Siege machinery can be borrowed from the Hebei Provincial Garrison. If you are not sure, I will dispatch 30,000 National Salvation Army to fight with you. "

"No need!" Lao Zhang refused. "With the help of others, it's not easy to get the credit. I want to let them all know that the Battle of Peking was won independently by my Fengtian Army."

"Okay, okay! Brother, you are so brave. When you win this battle, I will personally celebrate for you. I will take care of my nephew's succession."

Lao Zhang hung up the phone and immediately called a combat meeting.

Luo Jiu smiled for a while and issued the latest order to the Domestic Operations Department.

"Leave Peking to the Fengtian Army. From tomorrow on, we will issue a nationwide order that all warlords surrender within three days.

Three days later, the National Salvation Army launched a nationwide liberation war, striving to liberate the entire country within half a month.

While arrangements were being made here, Luo Jiu called again and added: "Especially Taiwan Province, it must be liberated first."

Comrade Quan Sheng: "Please rest assured, Commander. This time, we will not leave any troubles behind and will definitely unify Taiwan."

The trend of unification is unstoppable.

The people with clear eyes surrendered automatically, and the mentally retarded people were beaten passively. No matter what form was used, the country was soon unified.

At this time, Luo Jiu, who was far away in Dongjing, was watching the workers in Ying Province mining.

After the National Salvation Army occupied the entire territory of the Little Japan Kingdom, it quickly began colonial rule. The Little Japan Kingdom was renamed Sakura Province and became part of our country in the form of a federal system.

Luo Jiu has trained a group of agents like Fujino Saburo who just want to live a good life, have no radical ideas, and obey management to carry out local governance for us.

As for us, we are, of course, busy searching for all the precious resources on the island and transporting them back to the country to support our national construction.

This is also a case of learning from the barbarians in order to defeat them. Copying homework just means you can get faster results.

Although Sakura Province is a small place, it has many gold and silver mines.

The workers in Sakura Province have a lifeless feeling about their work. Although they look silent and lifeless, they will work diligently to mine gold for low wages.

Luo Jiu sat on the high supervisor's platform, watching them mining comfortably, feeling extremely happy.

It feels so good to be a great power.

After a while, Feng Qi came up to her and asked, "Did you see the system prompt?"

When they arrived here, the system prompted that the number of heads required for upgrading was 8,000, and this number was reached after taking over the Nine Islands.
