Jiang Baili looked at the cannon carefully again and shook his head slightly: "Master, this kind of mountain cannon is light, but its actual energy is very poor, and its range is even less than that of 75 mm. The shells are light and their power is very limited. I am afraid it is not suitable for large-scale equipment!"

"Haha, Brother Baili, this is a work of practicing. You can't experiment with too good things. Although we know that this thing is not good, the buyer probably doesn't know it yet. Even if they know, can't they use money to shut up?" Qian Moyin was really impressed by the viewer's insight.

Indeed, this kind of artillery is for practicing. Sichuan must be equipped with more powerful artillery, but it must be familiar with the workers. This kind of inferior product is definitely not a problem now. There is a general lack of heavy weapons in China. They should be able to sell it as long as they see this caliber. In addition, Russia is not a problem now. First, they are extremely lacking in weapons, and second, they are extremely proud of it. As long as there is a kickback, they will do anything.

Speaking of which, under the conditions of war, otherwise such things that are inferior in xing really have no market space. It can be said that the battle is an important period of strategic opportunity. As long as China's weak industry is seized, it can obtain sufficient excess nutrients in the early stages of growth and expand rapidly. When the war is over, Sichuan's industry will begin to take shape, so there is no need to worry about other problems.

"Master, in addition to cannons, we have produced two more armored vehicles. In addition to the newly designed aircraft by Mr. Feng Ru, these are all valued by the Allies. I hope to introduce a group of them from us. What does the Master think?"

"Sell, of course! We will provide everything if necessary. As long as they can afford it, everything can be exchanged!"

Whether it is aircraft or armored vehicles, they are new weapons, far from perfect. Although they can play some roles on the battlefield, they are still very limited. Sichuan just started to do it early and the design concept is more appropriate. If these things are sold as soon as possible, they can exchange for more real money. If it is too late, I am afraid that the Allies will be able to develop them. After all, those are old industrial powers.

"Master, the Allies are in a bad situation now. Germany's submarine warfare is very effective. British freighters have suffered heavy losses. Our freighters have also been sunk a lot. The ships lost far exceed the speed of Britain's replenishment. After all, Britain is just an island country and has a fatal weakness. Once the lifeline at sea is cut off, Britain will be done. Once Britain withdrew from the war, France will be unable to withstand Germany's attack and will inevitably be defeated. If Germany wins, it will be bad for us!" Jiang Baili reminded him.

"Brother Baili, what we are most worried about is not us, but the United States. The United States has given a large amount of loans to the Allies. Their trade volume is ten times that of us. The United States will never give Germany a chance to win, and don't underestimate the heritage of Britain, France and Russia. They have plundered the world for many years and accumulated countless wealth. They will not be unable to stand it for the time being. In addition, I am also planning to send some troops to France for use in European warfare!"

When he heard that Qiao Yu was actually preparing to send troops to Europe, Jiang Baili's face became serious. "Master, the matter of sending troops is probably inappropriate. Our army will inevitably be regarded as cannon fodder troops when we arrive in Europe. How can we deal with the domestic public opinion pressure? Besides, Beiyang will not allow us to send troops at will!"

"Brother Baili, we are a latecomer country. Now even the country has not yet been realized. How can we achieve leapfrog development without taking extreme measures? We just need to seize the opportunity of the First World War and use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to comprehensively train our technical workers, scientific research teams, administrative systems, and military forces to achieve rapid modernization. Otherwise, China will have to bear more pain. Although sending troops to make them act as cannon fodder, they will not all die, and a large number of survivors will be left behind. This is the seed of the development of the post-ri. Sacrifice is inevitable, but this sacrifice is for the post-ri to sacrifice less, and for China to quickly catch up with the world. It is a last resort!"

Jiang Baili nodded when he heard this, "Master, of course I know that the benefits of sending troops are very good, but I am worried that people who don't know the truth will use this as an excuse to maliciously slander. If you can't continue to be in charge of Sichuan, you're afraid that Sichuan's construction results will be ruined!"

Jiang Baili's concern is also reasonable. Now the situation in China is turbulent and strange. Just half a month ago, Sichuan finally reached an agreement with Riben, who will give the private compensation of 100,000 yuan, and Sichuan handed over the captured soldiers and officers to Riben.

Both sides chose to remain silent in a tacit understanding and did not make a big fuss about this matter. However, after all, it was Ri himself who took out the compensation. This was definitely a huge shock to the Chinese people. The arrogant Japanese actually gave China compensation. This was definitely a major victory in China's diplomacy, and the people were naturally excited.

Jiang Baili knew very well that his temper was definitely unwilling to suffer losses. He lost face with Qiao Yu, but I was afraid that they would try every means to find it back. After Sichuan was a thorn in Riben's side and a thorn in flesh. Now Riben's power is expanding rapidly, especially the navy is making rapid progress, which poses the greatest threat to China.

In addition to the factors of the ribbling, Yuan Shikai actively planned to become emperor. From time to time, some articles discussing the national system and political system appeared in the newspapers. Many so-called Chinese and foreign experts made various remarks on various occasions. If Lao Yuan really wanted to become emperor, whether he could establish his prestige against Sichuan was necessary.

"Brother Baili, even if you send troops, you are not blindly dispatched. I have sent a military group to observe the war in Europe, including the navy. This time we might as well send another observation group mainly to the army. The dispatch of labor has been negotiated for several months, and it will be even more troublesome to send troops to war. How to transport it to Europe, how to train, how to equip, and how to command are all things that require negotiation. I don't think there will be any result in a year. In this year, I think China will undergo a shocking change. At that time, there will be no resistance to what we do!"

Qiao Yu's confidence comes from his familiarity with history and also his observation of reality. Yuan Shikai, the president of the Republic of China, did not fight for a long time like other founding monarchs, and basically accepted the old bureaucratic system of the Qing Dynasty, and relied on this to become the president.

Of course, some people will strongly praise this peaceful power transfer model, just like India's non-violent and uncooperated non-cooperation. As long as it is peaceful, it is sacred, just as if everything is correct. However, this idea is ultimately the view of corrupt scholars. Changing dynasties has always been bloody and cruel. In this cruel struggle, all the scum of the previous dynasty can be removed.

The establishment of a new set of rules and Sichuan's drastic reforms was largely the reason why the road protection movement destroyed the original social structure, implemented new policies for Qiao Yu, and created possibilities for industrial and commercial forces to take power. Unfortunately, Yuan Shikai did not do this. It was his compromise that made the Republic of China plagued all kinds of diseases since its establishment.

Yuan Shikai and his think tanks became increasingly powerless in the face of this situation. Instead of carefully reflecting on the problems of the Beiyang group, they instead integrated the country by giving Yuan Shikai the authority of the emperor that had lasted for thousands of years. This is the deep root of Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor, and all this is irreversible.

Just three days ago, a brand new organization was established, which was led by Yang Du, and Yan Fu, Sun Yujun, Li Xiehe, Hu Ying, Liu Shipei and others participated. The lively Jun Xianfeng started to blow. On the eve of the establishment of the Security Council, Yuan Shikai's consultant Goodno published the "Republic and the Monarch" and began to provide a basis for Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne.

Soon the branch of the Security Council was spread all over the world. At the beginning, the Security Council was still in the name of academic research, but with the development of the notification, Yang Du also lost his calmness. He thought that everyone in the world had already recognized Yuan Shikai's ascension to the throne, so he became more enthusiastic.

Writing articles, conducting speeches, and polls, all kinds of tricks emerged one after another. Officials from all over the world also knew that this was a trick played by Lao Yuan. Some people who had moral bottom lines chose to remain silent. Those speculators with poor character began to enlist in favor. Just when most people were still watching, something happened in Yunnan. Cai E sent the country to explain the investigation results of the drug case in the southwest to the whole country.

In the telegram, Cai E pointed out that 80% of the large amount of smuggled opium seized in Sichuan and Guizhou were provided by Yunnan, and the large-scale smuggling of opium was all Tang Jiyao's idea. In order to seek personal gain, he ignored the smoking ban law and wanted to expand the scope of opium planting in Yunnan. Nearly 30% of the land in Yunnan have planted opium. As long as this continues, opium will be planted on all the land in Yunnan, which will bring endless disasters.

Cai E still had a high prestige among the Yunnan Army. Although Tang Jiyao cleaned up the upper class who was inclined to Cai E, the soldiers of the Yunnan Army were still inclined to Cai E. Moreover, Tang Jiyao supervised Yunnan in recent years, except for wars, and people's livelihood did not improve. The burden on the people's shoulders was getting heavier and heavier, and the army also faced the situation of withholding military pay, and his morale was very low.

After Cai E made a false investigation in southern Sichuan, he went directly to Yunnan. On the surface, Cai E kept silent and frequently sent telegrams to Tang Jiyao, telling him that he was from the Yunnan Army and knew the difficulties in Yunnan, Cai E would never make things difficult for Tang Jiyao, and President Yuan just wanted to go through the situation.

The worried Tang Jiyao regarded Cai E's words as the only life-saving straw. However, Cai E had already started to spend a lot of money in secret. Gu Pinzhen, Dai Kan, Zhao Youxin, Luo Peijin and others all turned to Cai E in the face of a powerful silver offensive. It can be said that Cai E used the 2 million yuan provided by Qiao Yu to buy all the Yunnan province. Of course, this also stems from Cai E's own prestige. By the time he entered Kunming, Tang Jiyao had no available soldiers except some people around him.
