    Damn it, since you Duan Qirui did it in the previous life, I can¡¯t say what happened now. In fact, this is really a bad idea!

    According to Wang Geng's own idea, he wants to control a strong central army at the center. Any province that dares to shout for rebellion will be directly attacked and killed. This will let the local warlords know that it is okay to send out electricity at will. Anyone who dares to stir up rebellion will split the country.  It¡¯s just a dead word!

    "Of course, when provinces riot, those who know will say that the prime minister is behind it, and if the governors always support their troops and shout for rebellion, the side effects will be quite serious in the future. It will not only give the great powers an opportunity to take advantage of, but also encourage  It is never the best idea to defeat the ambitions of the governors until you have no choice but to do so!¡±

    Wang Geng thought to himself, I will never tell you about the scandalous thing about instigating Zhang Xun's restoration. If you are fooled by Xu Shuzheng and you really dare to make a fuss about restoration, I will slap your butt and kill Feng Guozhang!

    Duan Qirui sighed in his heart after listening to Wang Geng's words. He and Xu Shuzheng thought hard about what they thought was a clever move, but Wang Geng, who had returned from West Point, revealed it and said it, and approved the next move!

    Now that I think about it, it is really a bad idea. If the central government has authority, it cannot encourage the ambitions of the local governors. If we really follow what Xu Shuzheng said and incite rebellion in the provinces, I am afraid that this eternal infamy will not be eliminated in a day or two.

    "Wang Geng, I have to think carefully about the strategies you mentioned, and then listen to the opinions of Youzheng and Danchen. Let's talk about you first. I have recognized your talent, and you come to join me.  , What kind of position do you want to take? Since you don¡¯t want to go to the Army Department, where else do you want to go? "

    Duan Qirui changed the topic and whetted Wang Geng's appetite.

    "This Thanks to the Prime Minister's love, I have no reservations in front of you. I am even more headstrong than Xu Shuzheng. I would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox. To put it bluntly, Prime Minister  I can take any position around you. Diplomacy, military affairs, and finance are all my strengths! But no one else can be my boss except you!"

    Wang Geng¡¯s tone was still crazy, but with a modest smile on his face, he looked extremely sincere in front of Duan Qirui!

    "Wang Geng, you are really crazy, and Zheng Zheng was not as arrogant as you back then. If you had just arrived, if I really allowed you to be the chief minister of the cabinet, not to mention that you could not pass the Congress, even Zheng Zheng would laugh at me for being messy.  Charter!¡±

    Duan Qirui couldn't help but said with a look of helplessness, Wang Geng is a great talent, even Youzheng may not be as good as him in some aspects, but the way of human beings requires a balance, and he has been used by both the government and the public in the use of Xu Shuzheng.  He cursed like crazy.

    If Wang Geng suddenly ascends to a high position at a young age like he did when he promoted Youzheng, how will he convince the public?

    Youzheng¡¯s contribution under his command over the years has finally been seen by all. Is he really just Liu Bei sitting at home?  Being deceived by Wang Geng and Zhuge Liang when he came to study, he fell in love and followed his advice?

    Duan Qirui felt quite embarrassed for a while, but if he lost Wang Geng just like that, he would never agree to it!

    "Wang Geng, you came to vote for me, for power? For fame? For profit?" Duan Qirui asked in a different way.

    "Like you, Prime Minister, I am not here for fame, wealth, but only for the rejuvenation and construction of the country and nation, and for the Chinese people to stand upright among the nations of the world! I am here to build China into a democratic, prosperous and powerful country!  "

    Wang Geng sat upright and said solemnly.

    "Don't just talk big words, what are the details?" Duan Qirui nodded and smiled, obviously although he may not really believe in Wang Geng's ambition, he still listened to it.

    "To be specific, I want to assist the Prime Minister to unify Beiyang, and then unify the whole country, drive the old Maozi and the little devils out of China, and let the great powers and us live together as equals and cooperate for win-win results!" Wang Geng said with a smile.

    "Okay! Remember what you said today! The Ministry of War is now in charge of the Deputy Secretary of the Army, Zheng Zheng, who is also the Secretary-General of the State Council. Do you think you should go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Finance?" Duan Qirui did not know.  Conceal your admiration for Wang Geng!

    "Prime Minister, I am willing to train an elite army for you and the country! If China joins the war, I would like to take advantage of China's participation in the war to raise borrowed arms from the great powers and train an elite army! In this way, whether it is going to Europe  Whether it is directly participating in the war or in the border areas of the country, it will be of great use!"

    Wang Geng looked at Duan Qirui unblinkingly, thinking that I have said almost everything that needs to be said. At this age, without military power, he is like a money-giving boy. Whether it is diplomacy or finance, he is just making wedding clothes for others.  Lord!

    "Well Zheng Zheng has already started planning for the training of the new army. In January, he even borrowed a sum of money from the Japanese for this purpose. However, Zheng Zheng had too many things at hand and was busy with the training.  Don¡¯t come!¡±Duan Qirui was a little hesitant. Although Wang Geng was a talented person, he was just as arrogant as Xu Shuzheng. They both had no one but themselves in their eyes. Of course, it would be a dream to be his right-hand man. However, when Wang Geng first arrived, he made it clear  I would rather be a chicken head than a cow queen, but this matter is really difficult to arrange. We can't leave the dignified Army Ministry to Wang Geng to mess around, right?

    "Prime Minister, in fact, my position is not a problem for me. My ambition is to assist the Prime Minister in building a strong army to conquer all directions. For the time being, I don't need the false title of General and Deputy Minister. If you can trust people, I will only be called Prime Minister."  It¡¯s okay to serve as a national policy adviser or private diplomatic secretary, but since I graduated from West Point and have accomplished my studies, leaving the military is not what I want!¡±

    "I've thought about it. Regarding the preparation and training of the participating armies, you are indeed a better candidate. Zheng has to take care of the War Department and the State Council for me, and he also has to summon and run between the military governors and the great powers. I'm not busy at all.  But come here! But now the matter of joining the war has not been finalized, and I want you to make suggestions by my side, so what should I do? "

    Duan Qirui was obviously in a bit of a dilemma, and wanted to let Wang Geng go out for military training. After all, he was a top student who graduated from West Point Military Academy. He also thought that he would be in trouble here. When it came to Wang Geng, he seemed to say nothing, and patted his head.  Just an idea.

    The Prime Minister of the State now feels a little fresh and energetic when Liu Bei first got Zhuge Liang. He wishes he could see Wang Geng every night to discuss things, just like Xu Shuzheng felt exactly the same when he first came to his shogunate.

    "Prime Minister, I got off the train and went straight to your residence with my luggage. I don't have a home in Beijing. I only want to live and eat at your place! You can't drive me away!" Wang Geng actually drove Duan Qi.  Ray's joke.

    "Yeah, I think so too. I have a big family here, and there is plenty of room for you to live in, but you can't organize and train new troops for me in Cangnan Hutong, right?" Duan Qirui was teased by Wang Geng and smiled.  , I¡¯m still thinking about how to have both!

    "Although military training is urgent, it is not urgent for a while. We have to wait until we declare our participation in the war. Prime Minister, I am not boasting. I can speak English, France, Japan and Germany much better than those half-baked secretaries and translators in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I will serve as a national policy adviser and interpreter for you."  Not to mention the Foreign Secretary!¡±

    Wang Geng thought that he should not give up his position as a close minister of the emperor so easily. At this time of danger, if I were not watching over you, I would know which ditch you were taken to by Xu Shuzheng.

    "Don't forget that you are a soldier first! In this way, since you are a top student at West Point Military Academy, then I will appoint you as a colonel of the Army Department first~~ No, how about the Major General of the Army Department?" Duan Qirui gave the answer, and the Prime Minister thought in his heart  It was a bit shocking. With the arrogance of the boy in front of him, if he only gave him the rank of colonel, he would probably force him to go to Feng Guozhang, so he changed his mind to major general.

    Only to a colonel?  In the previous life, Wang Geng of West Point became a colonel in the Army Department after he returned to China. As soon as I came back after traveling thousands of miles away, you dismissed me as a colonel?  There are no doors!  Even if you, Lao Duan, are not that stingy, are you considered a major general?  Mao was not a major general without soldiers. Wang Geng cursed in his heart, but said, "Does this major general of the Army Department only have a false title?"

    "I am the commander-in-chief of the army myself, and all the ministry affairs are actually handled by Xu Youzheng, the deputy chief. There are eight divisions in the general affairs department. You can choose whatever you want, but aren't you unwilling to work under Youzheng?  So you, a major general, just have a vacant position as a counselor in the Army Ministry. Do you want to jump directly from a graduate to the position of commander-in-chief and deputy commander? "

    Duan Qirui narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Geng, feeling both love and hate in his heart. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in accepting this guy who was bolder and slightly more rebellious than Xu Youzheng today. Can he really control him in the future?

    "Major generals are major generals, Premier Duan, I suggest you appoint me as a war military supervisor or you can serve as supervisor yourself. I will be the co-organizer and let's set up the airs first so that we can sing!"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? There is no sign of joining the war army yet, this position can be big or small. If you are a major general, you can at least also be the brigade commander of a mixed brigade, right?  Or the commander of the Gyeonggi Garrison Command?  "

    Wang Geng finally showed his trump card unceremoniously!
