At this time, Wang Jun suddenly said: "Isn't the Qing court involved in this May 6 terrorist attack? Most of the people who attacked the Shanghai New Area outside were recruited by Prince Su Shanqi. Although they were actually used by Japan, they are essentially accomplices of Japan and Gansu. What we just discussed was how to deal with Japan's reaction. So we should always express our opinions to the Qing court."

You Mingqian said: "Yes, why not take this opportunity to completely break up with the Qing court. Anyway, we have the right to take this matter, so we can just stew Japan, Russia, and the Qing court."

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "That's not OK. We should not make too many enemies at this time. Japan and Russia have been enough for us to deal with it. We should not bring the Qing court in again. Therefore, I think we should still let the Qing court go this time."

Xia Bohai also nodded and said, "We should distinguish between the main contradiction and the secondary contradiction. Now our main contradiction is Japan and Russia. From a domestic perspective, this is related to the country's sovereignty and territory, and from a global perspective, it is a hegemony that determines the Far East. The contradiction between us and the Qing court has become a secondary contradiction. We can let it go first. After we defeat Japan and Russia, it is not too late to turn back and recover the Qing court. Do you think so?"

Wang Jun said: "I am not against the temporary release of the Qing court. However, there is one thing that everyone has considered, that is, the Qing court cannot use normal logical thinking to judge their next actions. After all, being able to declare war on the Eight Kingdoms at the same time is definitely not a normal logic. Therefore, in our opinion, it is not a matter of their choice to let them go. But in the view of the Qing court, maybe we think that we are afraid of them, and there may be other actions against us in the future."

Qin Zheng said: "Old Wang's concerns make sense, but our temporary release of the Qing court does not mean that we will not be skeptical with the Qing court. It is just that the Qing court has also participated in the terrorist attacks in Shanghai. Instead, we have issued a warning to the Qing court in private, demanding that the Qing court severely punish the prince and compensate us for our losses."

Li Sanjie said: "But now that Li Hongzhang has died, there is a missing mediator between us and the Qing court. And how effective can such a warning play?"

Xia Bohai said: "Of course it will be useful. Although Li Hongzhang is dead, there are Zhang Zhidong and Yuan Shikai and we have a certain friendship. I think they are probably willing to play this role. And we will not just give warnings without substantial actions. To be honest, we have many means to counter the Qing court. I suggest that the Qing court immediately cut off the canal transport until the Qing court makes a satisfactory reply."

The transportation method of transporting money, grain and materials collected by various places to the capital was collectively referred to as the transportation method. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has mostly relied on water transportation composed of the Yellow River, Huaihe River, and Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, transporting the southern Sui Fu, grain and materials to Beijing. However, due to a series of major events such as the Yellow River divert, the Opium War, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Transportation, the transportation of the canal gradually changed from river transportation to sea transportation. In 1872, the Steel Shipping Merchants Agency was established in Shanghai and officially used ships to transport grain. It also completely squeezed the space for the canal transportation of rivers.

However, after the Boxer Rebellion, since the East China government occupied the Tianjin port, the canal transport had to be transported ashore to Beijing through Tianjin New City. Therefore, the Qing court once planned to restore the river transport, but it was too expensive; secondly, there was a section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal in Shandong Province, which was not that it could not get rid of the restrictions of the East China government, but that it was not a project that the Qing court could undertake, and it was finally left alone.

If the East China government cut off the canal transportation, it would be a great threat to the Qing court, because the Qing court's palace consumption, official salaries, military pay payments from the army stationed in Beijing and the adjustment of the people's food were mostly supplied by the canal transportation. It can be said that as long as the East China government cut off the canal transportation for one month, the Qing court would collapse. Therefore, the Qing court either broke up with the East China government, met with the East China government, captured Tianjin in a short period of time, resumed the canal transportation, or compromised with the East China government.

After hearing this, others thought that this method was the best, that is, it would not be necessary to break up with the Qing court, and it could also teach the Qing court enough lessons.

This issue was determined in this way. Although the next issue was also an internal affairs of the East China government, it was also very controversial, which was how to deal with the emergence of time travelers in Japan and the possibility of other time travelers in this era.

In fact, there are other time travelers in this era, which have long attracted the attention of the Executive Yuan. More than two years ago, everyone present had read the report submitted by the Ministry of Security, so they were still mentally prepared for it. After receiving the report from the working group, the Executive Yuan immediately ordered the Ministry of Security to draw elite troops and set up professional departments to focus on investigating other time travelers. However, investigating other time travelers is not only extremely difficult, but it will not lead to results in a short period of time travelers. There are too few clues now, and it is impossible to determine how many time travelers there are.

Today's meeting mainly discusses whether the news is made public, of course it is made public to all time travelers.

Zhang Yuming of the Civil Committee said: "I think it is better not to disclose it. Once this fact is disclosed, it will definitely cause panic among the time travelers. Because we are about to join the war, it is now confirmed that there are time travelers in Japan, which may seriously affect the confidence of other time travelers in this war. Therefore, I think at most, it can only be disclosed in a small way, and to all time travelers, and at least it will be discussed after the war is over."

Li Sanjie said: "This war will not end in a short while. It is not impossible to fight for 1 or 2 years. Moreover, things have happened. I think it is impossible to hide it. Sooner or later, the wind will be revealed. As Japanese time travelers, it is very likely that they will be leaked out to cause internal conflicts or as a means to instigate our personnel. At that time, there will inevitably be random speculations. If we announce it at that time, it will be passive. Therefore, it is better to announce it as soon as possible, so we can take the initiative."

Ye Yanfu said: "It is of course good to announce it as soon as possible, but what if it causes panic within us?"

Li Sanjie shook his head and said, "The panic is also happening among us time travelers. Naturalized people know what's going on. We time travelers only have more than 6,000, so even if it has an impact, it is very limited."

Zhang Yuming said: "That's not necessarily true. Although there are not many time travelers, they are all in important positions. The naturalized people do things according to our attitude. If we panic, can they still calm down?"

You Mingqian said: "I don't think so. The East China government has been established for four years. It not only established a strong armed force, but also initially launched a basic industrial system. It has not yet achieved great results like the Soviet Union in the old time and space. At the expense of agricultural interests in our early days. Do we have not even had this confidence? Even if there are other time travelers in this era, what can we do? They can be a group of more than 6,000 people like us, and there are so many modern weapons and equipment. I have imagined that after five years, we have neither seen the rise of new forces nor any black technology emerged. If so, it would have caused a sensation now, so even if there are other time travelers, there is nothing scary."

Lu Hong, a member of the Industrial and Mining Energy, also said: "Yes, I agree with the opinion of Member You. This era of mechanized production is not an agricultural era of handicrafts and natural economy. It is not a business that can be made by making glass, soap, matches, and toothbrushes. It is impossible to build an invincible lion by being able to make a steel and make a *. The industrialized society must be on a scale and the development of the system is useful. Therefore, in this environment, the role of individuals cannot be said to be small, but it is absolutely impossible.

To drive the development of the entire society, we have more than 6,000 people and villages in all aspects. In this era, we have lived for more than five years and have only achieved the situation today. A few time travelers, even if they travel to a country with a stronger industrial foundation than China, are single and lonely after all, and what they can do is quite limited. We have no need to worry at all. Even if it is announced, there is nothing. As long as we explain this principle clearly, I believe most people will not panic."

Wang Jun said: "In addition to the reasons mentioned by Member You and Member Lu just now, I think it can be added a little more, that is, the 5.6 Shanghai terrorist attacks show that there are certain problems within us, this is the case with Shanghai and Shandong. As far as I know, there are now some time travelers. The East China government has stabilized and can rest assured and enjoy life. It's just that Shandong is not as serious as Shanghai under the supervision of the Executive Yuan. This time, it has been confirmed that there are other time travelers. I think it is an opportunity. A strong opponent can make us all nervous again and restore our enthusiasm when we first arrived in this era, so I agree to make this news public."

After Wang Jun finished speaking, several more people spoke, each expounding their own reasons, some agreeing and opposing, but the opinions expressed by the agreement still accounted for the majority. After all, after four years of experience, everyone has matured a lot. After experiencing the initial shock, a rational split followed, so they came to the conclusion they thought were correct.
