Three towns.

On the 6th, the Liberation Organization carried out an assassination campaign, targeting the then Governor of Huguang, Borzigit Ruicheng.

Even though they got help from the South Chinese who sympathized with them and obtained some weapons and bombs, the assassination was not successful.

Fortunately, the three assassins escaped into the concession with the help of Nan Hua, and then took a boat to go south.

Frightened by the assassination and unable to catch the murderer, Borzigit Reich was furious. He ordered the entire city to be cordoned off and searched house to house, but of course nothing was caught.

…

At noon on the 20th, a cargo ship slowly docked at the Shanghai pier. Several young people followed a middle-aged man and got off the ship, talking and laughing.

"There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. Let's say goodbye here and see you after the revolution is successful." Sun Zaizhi looked at the car that came to pick him up and said to the young people behind him.

"Sir, since you agree with the revolution, why don't you go to Japan with us? Many people with lofty ideals in the world are active in Japan, and the dog officials of the Qing Empire can't control it." Yang Hongsheng persuaded him to stay.

They originally thought that Sun Zaizhi was just a South Chinese who sympathized with the revolution. After a few days of communication on the ship, they discovered that Sun Zaizhi had a very profound understanding of the revolution.

At least it's much deeper than them.

They know about violent revolution, and are willing to shed their blood for it, and are willing to burn themselves to establish a republican country.

But they don't understand things like how to complete the revolution, what to do after the revolution is completed, who will manage the country after that, and so on.

This is normal and is determined by the limitations of the times. They firmly believe that the revolution will succeed, but they don’t know when that day will come, and they don’t know if they can see it.

On the ship, Sun Zaizhi used historical materialism to analyze the background, process, difficulties encountered, and setbacks when Britain and France carried out revolution, allowing them to understand the reasons for themselves.

Only then did they understand the revolution from a new perspective, see a different scenery, and understand why the revolution must succeed.

"Japan?" Sun Zaiyi was stunned and looked at the three young people behind him.

Their eyes were bright and full of pure expectation, which Sun Zaizhi couldn't bear to refuse.

“When I was young, I studied in Japan and was exposed to various clubs.

If it had been before, I would definitely go to Japan without hesitation because there are many like-minded people there.

But precisely because I have stayed in Japan for a relatively long time, I can better understand that going to Japan will not be of much help to our career.

If you really want to understand the revolution, you might as well come with me to Nanhua, take a walk and have a look, and understand the practices of Nanhua." Sun Zaizhi thought for a while and said tactfully.

In his current view, Japan's revolutionary branch has some value.

Use that kind of fanatical emotion to spread the trend of thought, so that more people can accept it and join the revolution.

But to say more, Japan has blocked information from the Chinese.

Including how to build, how to govern, how to effectively resolve conflicts between parties, and other issues.

It is also understandable that Sun Zaizhi, who has a broader vision, certainly knows what Japan is thinking.

Does it want to help these people? No, it just wants these people to come back and cause damage. For example, assassination activities basically receive "donations" from Japan.

He knows, but he can't change anything. Today, every progressive is considering how to make the country and nation stronger.

And everyone has different ideas. It’s impossible to block other people’s roads before they start just because you think they are impassable.

"Nanhua?" Yang Hongsheng whispered two words and looked at the two people around him.

"Well... I think it's okay to go take a look." Guo Luren on the left nodded. He wanted to see what Sun Zaizhi praised.

"However, we have made an appointment with them. We have at most one week to spare. We have to set off as soon as we arrive in Nanhua by boat..." Lu Rener, who was on the right, frowned and said.

"If it's just a matter of time, I can solve it." Sun Zaizhi said at the right time.

"I'm going to take a direct airship to New Chang'an in South China Borneo this afternoon. It only takes one day to arrive. If you want to go, I can buy a ticket for you." Sun Zaizhi said.

"Airship?! I've never been on an airship! I heard it can fly very high, but..." Guo Luren said, touching his purse and looking sad.

An airship is much more expensive than a third-class cabin on a ship, and Nanhua is much farther than Japan.

"I proposed this matter. Let me sponsor an airship ticket for you. Don't refuse in a hurry.

I believe that when you encounter revolutionaries who are short of money, you will also be generous to them.

And I think that a trip to Nanhua will give you a deeper understanding of the revolution.

When the time comes, you can spread this awareness and repay me with these airship tickets." Sun Zaizhi said to them seriously.

"Sir, you have already said this. If we don't go, it will appear that we are doing something wrong. Then Hong Sheng will thank you first." Yang Hongsheng clasped his fists and bowed slightly.

This is not a big deal, even in Europe, airships are very rare, let alone riding in them.

In Germany, the ticket price for flying across the Atlantic Ocean is 1,500 Reichsmarks, about 360 US dollars. To put it in intuitive terms, one pound and one tael of gold.

The fare from Shanghai to Xin Chang'an is 300 South China dollars, which is about 298 US dollars for 450 grams of gold.

At this price, you can buy several lives in the Qing Empire.

He took the three people into the car and looked at the luxurious decoration inside the car. The three of them were no better than Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden.

"Is this an airship? It's so big!"

"Just hearing what others say is far less shocking than actually seeing it."

"So big! So long!"

"Okay, it's about to take off, come in quickly." Sun Zaizhi stepped into the elevator and greeted the three of them.

The elevator didn't climb very fast, but Yang Hongsheng couldn't help but feel weak in his legs as he looked at the ground getting further and further away from him.

"Mr. Sun, I have your telegram." The correspondent on the airship was waiting at the entrance. When he saw Sun Zaizhi, he took out a sealed envelope from his arms.

But the correspondent did not call Sun Zaizhi, but looked at the three people behind him.

"Waiter, take them in first and arrange for them to rest first.

You go in first, I'll come and find you later." Sun Zaizhi understood and said to the three people behind him.

Yang Hongsheng had a lot of questions, such as where to buy tickets. But seeing that Sun Zaizhi had something to do, he nodded and walked up the stairs.

"Only you can read the telegram from the headquarters." The correspondent then gave the envelope to Sun Zaizhi.

Sun Zaizhi opened the envelope, showing a hint of excitement, and then immediately covered it up.

"I already know, this telegram..." Sun Zaizhi folded the telegram.

"Leave it to us, we know the rules." The correspondent stretched out his hand.

Sun Zaizhi handed him the telegram and then stared at him.

The correspondent took out a paper shredder from under the table, put the telegram into it, and then shook the handle as hard as he could.

Sun Zaizhi heard a buzzing sound and understood that it was the sound made by machinery operating at high speed.

"Huh~" The correspondent wiped his sweat and took out the paper scrap box. The paper had turned into tiny pieces.

People at the ground station will burn it later. The reason why they don't burn it directly or use the motor is for safety reasons.

This is the ground aviation station, a tower made of composite steel and wood. At this time, there is also an airship loaded with tens of thousands of liters of hydrogen.

All electrical equipment here is strictly controlled, and fireworks are strictly prohibited.

Otherwise, if there is a hole in one of the airbags of the airship and a spark flies onto it, who will be responsible?

"Then I'll go in first." Sun Zaizhi nodded and boarded the airship.

Half an hour later, the four people chatting in Sun Zaizhi's cabin felt a vibration, and then their feet felt light.

"We've taken off. I suggest you go to the restaurant to have a meal and then have a good sleep. The ascent is relatively smooth, but there will be some bumps at night." Sun Zaizhi gave the three people a suggestion.

The three of them obviously didn't listen, so they chatted with Sun Zaizhi for another two hours, then ran to the window to watch the sunset.

…………

At nine o'clock in the morning on the 22nd, after nearly forty hours of flight, the airship slowly docked at the New Chang'an North Airport.

Sun Zaizhi walked down in high spirits, and behind him were three young men who were a little sluggish and carrying whips.

"Hong Sheng, I still have some things to deal with and I can't accompany you anymore."

"I would like to give you a suggestion. You can go to the grassroots level, especially the towns and villages. Don't look at the surface, but look at the essence."

"When we get off the bus, we will take you to a friend of mine. I have told him your identity in the letter. Give him the letter and he will make arrangements for you."

Sun Zaizhi took out a letter and handed it to Yang Hongsheng.

"As my friend, do you also sympathize with the revolution?" Yang Hongsheng took the envelope and suppressed the discomfort in his heart.

"He? He was once a party member like you. After experiencing setbacks, he came to Nanhua for inspection and took root in Nanhua." Sun Zaizhi laughed as he spoke.

Isn't he like this too?

"Juemin? Hong Sheng understands. Sir, go and do your work. Sir, you have helped us so much. How can we, three living people, get lost?" Yang Hongsheng cupped his hand.

After watching the car start and send the three people away, Sun Zaizhi got into another car.

The car drove all the way south for more than two hours, arrived at the dock, and transferred to a destroyer.

In the early morning of the 23rd, the destroyer docked at the Bali pier. Even Sun Zaizhi felt tired from the journey.

I got in the car again and drove around until I came to a seaside villa.

"His Majesty is communicating with the Prime Minister via telegram. You will have to wait for a while." Secretary Wang took him into the lounge and gave him breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, he waited until Secretary Wang called him.

"Zai Zhi, sit down." Liu Yiming said gently.

Sun Zaizhi did not sit down, but bluntly stated his purpose.

"Your Majesty, I am here this time to request that the plan be launched in advance..."

[Author's digression]: Some people said that it was too protracted. The actual idea is to explain the foreshadowing clearly. I can also add a few more chapters so that everyone can understand it more clearly.

But since I want to see something fast, I will speed up. Of course, my thinking is there, I can only speed up, and it is impossible to meet everyone's requirements at once.

Regarding the issue of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it is impossible for the Southern and Northern Dynasties to be the Southern and Northern Dynasties. I have just been laying the groundwork.
Chapter completed!
