    "That's good, brother Wang. Even if it's just a financial salon, Wang Geng, you have to be the master of this salon. You can't do it without a head!" Lu Ding said with a bitter face. At this moment, he was half-moved by Wang Geng.  The half-truth and half-false words made me feel a little confused.

    "I'm just kidding, Brother Lu. I'm not happy with what you said. If I go in and out of the eight alleys of Huajie and Liuxiang all day long to clean up this financial salon, I'm afraid the first person I can't see will be Premier Duan. He seems to have a little expectation of me. Besides,  You said it, even if I agree, your Lu Mei and Lu Xiaoman may not be willing to agree!" Wang Geng said with a smile.

    "Ah?" Lu Ding took a breath when he heard this, but Song Hanzhang and Zhang Jia'ao beside him didn't know the reason and kept asking, "Old Lu, what do you mean by this? Is your daughter engaged to Wang Geng?"

    "Hey! Where are we from!" Lu Ding waved his hands hurriedly, saying that if he could marry Wang Geng, he would be willing to do so from the bottom of his heart. Marriage, especially political marriage, is often the most effective and direct way to form an alliance.  Means, but this idea only flashed in his mind.

    Firstly, the girl from home is only fifteen years old, and secondly, Wang Geng has just emerged, and whether he can withstand Xu Youzheng¡¯s future suppression and exclusion under Prime Minister Duan is a matter of two opinions. At least he can¡¯t marry until the girl is 16.  , at that time, it was almost obvious whether Wang Geng was a dazzling star in the political and military circles or a fleeting meteor, but it was still too early to talk about anything now.

    "Huh? Brother Lu, your daughter is already fifteen years old, right? Although Wang Geng is much older than Lu Mei, he is only 22 years old this year. I haven't even had a girlfriend, let alone three wives.  Concubine, if my daughter-in-law falls in love with me, you won¡¯t object to the relationship between us two young men and women, right?" Wang Geng looked at his father-in-law from his previous life and said teasingly.

    "Hey! That's what I said If my little girl is favored, I will definitely want it. But firstly, Lu Mei is still young, and secondly, since this girl went to Sacred Heart Academy, she has been shouting about freedom, equality, women's rights, and opposing arranged marriages all day long.  Yes, we haven't really thought about her marriage By the way, what are you going to do with the second lady of the Duan family?"

    Lu Ding was a little confused and confused. Could it be that in just half a day, Wang Geng had already fallen in love with his girl?  Isn't this guy's hands and feet too fast?  Isn't Duan Hongbin still present? Has something been done?

    Here, Zhang Jiayao deeply regretted that her second sister had married Xu Zhimo, a heartless man, in advance. Seeing that Wang Geng seemed to be interested in the daughter of the Lu Ding family, she felt a little sorry for the two remaining girls in her family, although she had not found out what Wang Geng actually had.  How capable he is, but the aura of studying in the United States at Tsinghua University, a BA at Princeton University, and an honors student at West Point Military Academy is enough to impress his father and two younger sisters.

    What's more, at the age of twenty-two, this guy actually became two supervisors, a major general in the army, and had nearly ten thousand people under his command. He also won the favor of the Prime Minister. Is there any investment banking industry in the United States? With this condition, if you go to the Beijing-Tianjin-Shanghai Newspaper  If you post a marriage proposal online, you will be overwhelmed by the overwhelming number of marriage proposal posts from famous and wealthy families!  Those who talk about matchmaking and propose a marriage will probably be able to break through the threshold of Wang Geng's family!

    Song Hanzhang directly patted Lu Ding on the shoulder and said, "Old Lu, I used to be a little dissatisfied with you, but now I am really convinced by you. If you are discerning, you have to get good things quickly. If you get a rich son-in-law like Wang Geng,  , Are you afraid that the position of deputy chief will not be fulfilled? I will leave the affairs of the Bank of China to you and your son-in-law!"

    "Hey! Old Song! You must be considered a senior, but why are you kidding me! It really doesn't matter. How could I hide it from you? Wang Geng, tell them, are we the first one this morning?  Let¡¯s meet again!¡± Lu Ding said anxiously.

    "Okay, Brother Lu, it's obvious that you don't look down on me. Well, let's not mention this matter. It's not because I'm being rude. Anyway, I don't have three wives or four concubines in my house now, and there's no one to warm me to. I  Is it easy for me to keep busy? Tomorrow I will ask Xia Shan to go to the newspaper to advertise for marriage. I still don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t find a woman!¡± Wang Geng stood up again seriously.

    "Wang Geng, brother Wang, don't join them in teasing me. I'm telling the truth. As long as my girl is willing, you can also like her. When she turns 16 after the Chinese New Year, we will decide to get married.  Okay?" Lu Ding gritted his teeth and grabbed Wang Geng and shouted.

    "Hey, Brother Song, Fourth Brother Zhang, you two can bear witness. When the new year comes, if the Lu family's girl and I are in love, he, Old Lu, won't be in a mood to talk and fight with each other!" Wang Geng  He smiled and pulled Song Hanzhang and Zhang Jiayao to testify. These two people looked at what kind of thing this was. The development of the situation was too unexpected, right?

    Song, Hanzhang, Zhang Jia'ao all clamored to agree, Lu Ding also nodded, and Wang Geng sat down again. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost lively, this guy's face was?One righteousness, Tao,

    "A gentleman's words are hard to follow. I'm just waiting to marry that girl Lu Mei next year. Now let's talk about the next step. You listen to my thoughts first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. Let's work it out together. In order to  The country and the nation, what else can¡¯t be done?¡±

    Lu Ding breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and stared at Wang Geng with Song Hanzhang and Zhang Jia'ao to see what he would say.

    "First, brothers, I have a clear-cut stand and support Premier Duan's unified proposition. Of course, the first step is to join the war. For this reason, I, as the supervisor of preparations for joining the war, am also the supervisor of negotiations with the United States and the brigade commander of the 16th Mixed Brigade.  "The purpose is to prepare and arm a capable team as soon as possible to defend the central government, protect the well-being and safety of the people in Gyeonggi, and strive for the early reunification of China. Do you have any doubts about this?"

    Wang Geng looked at the three people in front of him seriously. Lu Ding and Zhang Jia'ao were both nodding, obviously recognizing Wang Geng's ideals or goals. Song Hanzhang was noncommittal, obviously having something in mind.

    "Old Song, since we are all on our own now, if you have something to say, please say it without hiding it. I know that you have a huge influence in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles. There may be something I didn't expect! If you have anything to say, please tell me!"  Wang Geng saw that Song Hanzhang was about to speak, so he stopped and urged him to speak.

    "Well, Premier Duan's idea is good, but force alone may not be enough for reunification. Moreover, Premier Duan and Xu Shuzheng mainly rely on Japan's support and assistance, which will inevitably affect the vested interests of Britain and the United States in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the future.  Interests and sphere of influence, if this problem cannot be solved, Brother Wang, with all due respect, the prospect of reunification is not optimistic! Japan¡¯s strength is not as good as that of Britain and the United States!¡±

    Song Hanzhang represented the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium and the industrial and commercial circles. In the early days, private capital in Jiangsu and Zhejiang mostly started from compradors of foreign banks and banks of the great powers. They had always had good relations with Britain, the United States, France and Germany, but the supporters behind Lao Duan, his cabinet and the Anhui clique were eyeing them.  Song Hanzhang felt that this was like a fish piercing his throat and he was choking. It seemed a bit unreasonable not to mention it to remind Wang Geng.

    When Song Hanzhang said this, both Lu Ding and Zhang Jiayao were a little shocked. It was obvious that Lao Song was more attentive than the two of them, or took Wang Geng's words and ideas more seriously.

    "Old Song, you are right. Unification cannot rely solely on force. Force is only a guarantee for unification. If the government changes all day long and the cabinet continues to be dismissed, unification will be far away. Therefore, it is necessary to build a lineage armed force with a clear mind and a single-minded purpose.  It is urgent!

    Secondly, you are talking about whether the backers are Japan or Britain and the United States. Don¡¯t forget that I am the supervisor of diplomatic relations with the United States and the foreign secretary of the Prime Minister. In my plan, the full support of the United States is a necessary condition for the reunification of China!  "

    "What about Japan? Japan is now considered the most powerful country in Asia. It has a higher degree of industrialization than us and a stronger military than me. It also has the connivance and support of the United Kingdom behind it!" Lu Ding is a top student studying at Waseda University and a disciple of Ito Hirobumi  , this guy is a patriotic bureaucrat, so he has a deep understanding of Japan, so he couldn't help but ask worriedly.

    "Japan is of course a role model for us to learn from. You have never seen Chinese students studying abroad. Most of them go to Japan, and most of them go to Japan to study military affairs. However, because of geopolitics, Japan has always had territorial ambitions towards China. This  We must not turn a blind eye to one thing. The Russian old man and the Japanese kid will have a battle with us sooner or later!" Wang Geng said firmly.

    "Wang Geng, do you mean to find a balance between Japan and Britain and the United States? This is a good thing, I'm afraid it will not be easy. The ambition of the little devil is not so easy to dismiss, President Yuan  He is so strong, but he has to obediently agree to twenty-one points in the face of Japan's ultimatum!" Zhang Jia'ao obviously understood Wang Geng's intention, but the drama of sitting on the fence and opportunism is not something that just anyone can sing well!

    "Brother Zhang, you must not belittle yourself. Besides, Yuan Shikai only signed the Fourth Civil Treaty, but did not sign the most critical fifth article of the Twenty-one. The appeasement policy is indispensable in certain historical stages. We and other existing  If we are determined to serve our country, we must not forget the suffering that China has suffered and is suffering! Sooner or later, the Chinese people will be proud of themselves if we fight to the death!¡± Wang Geng¡¯s tone was full of contagion!
