    Seeing this, Du Xun quickly said: "If you really want to borrow money in the UK, I can also help."

    "On behalf of the Tongmenghui, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your support and understanding!" Sun Yat-sen was overjoyed.

    Du Xun then added: "If you can get the patent authorization for mortar production from Peiping Iron Works, I will give you at least a loan of 2 million pounds. Even if there is no patent authorization or transfer, as long as you can get Dr. Johnson to come forward as a guarantee,  A loan of 500,000 to 1 million pounds is not a problem. Otherwise, I will give you a loan limit of 50,000 to 200,000 pounds based on the amount of arms purchased at the Vega Artillery Factory."

    Sun Yat-sen was a little annoyed and helpless: Although he had long known that his reputation was not as good as that of Sun Yuanqi, he never expected that in the eyes of British businessmen, the value of the two would be several times or even dozens of times different.  To put it bluntly, the reason why he was able to obtain a loan limit of 50,000 to 200,000 pounds was entirely because Du Xun gave him a gift for buying a large number of arms. If he didn't buy anything, he wouldn't even be able to borrow the minimum 50,000 pounds.  Thousands of pounds!  British and American businessmen and politicians are so realistic. They will not look at themselves with admiration at all because they may have huge influence in the Far East in the future.

    It seems like a good idea to let Sun Yuanqi come forward!  Sun Yat-sen thought.  But when he recalled the process of his interaction with Sun Yuanqi, his expression became depressed: Although he had talked nonsense before, as if he and Sun Yuanqi were brothers, in fact the two met and talked only twice: once in San Francisco, the United States, and another time.  One time was in Tokyo, Japan.  Moreover, during that time in Tokyo, Japan, Sun Yuanqi was ill and resting in bed, so he didn't speak at all.  Calculated in this way, the two of them really belong to a "fate".  Comparing oneself with others, would you guarantee a loan of millions of taels of silver for a friend you only met once?

    Seeing the change in Sun Yat-sen's expression, Du Xun understood clearly and said politely: "Anyway, I will forward your statement and memorandum to Foreign Secretary Mr. Gray as soon as possible, so you can rest assured."

    Listen to the words and listen to the sounds.  Du Xun's words are like the Chinese way of serving tea to see off guests. Sun Yat-sen and Homer Lee had to stand up and say goodbye.

    As soon as the two of them went out, the secretary sitting next to them said worriedly: "Sir, it seems that Mr. Sun is very familiar with Dr. Johnson! If he really finds Dr. Johnson to vouch for it, our company will not have 50 to 100 in its books."  Thousands of pounds in liquid cash to him.¡±

    Du Xun smiled and said: "Rhode, can't you see his character through his words? It's obvious that he is a half-hearted politician who can play with theories and like to talk too much, but he cannot engage in political speculation or political maneuvering.  Although he claims to be familiar with Dr. Johnson, maybe just like you and I know the Prime Minister, Mr. Asquith, does Mr. Asquith know us? Of course, if he can really ask Dr. Johnson to vouch for it, I will  I don¡¯t mind lending him hundreds of thousands of pounds. Even if we don¡¯t have it in our accounts, we can turn it over from other places. As long as we can establish a relationship with Dr. Johnson, our Vega Cannon Factory will be on the fast track of rapid development.¡±

    Rhodes reminded carefully: "As far as I know, except for mortars, Dr. Johnson's other research inventions don't seem to have any overlap with our Vega Cannon Factory, right?"

    Du Xun took out a Havana cigar from the silver cigarette case, cut off both ends with special scissors, then used a lighter to gently turn the cigarette body to toast it, and then lit the cigar.  After fully enjoying the unique mellow aroma of the cigar, he gently exhaled the smoke and continued: "Then what do you think is the intersection between condiments and radio broadcasts, between particle accelerators and bicycles?"

    Rhodes was stunned and didn¡¯t know how to answer for a moment.

    Du Xun did not expect him to answer his question, and said while puffing away: "It is now recognized by the intellectual community that Dr. Johnson is the greatest scientist after Galileo and Newton. His greatness is not only reflected in a certain subject field.  , but encyclopedic, such as physics, chemistry, electronics, astronomy, medicine, etc. He felt that food had no taste, so he invented MSG; he felt that life was too boring, so he invented television at will; he felt that mathematics  Calculation was too boring, so we conceived an electronic computer Now that we have a relationship with him, if one day he is interested in military industry, wouldn't we be able to get there first?

    "Dr. Johnson is not only an outstanding scientist, but also a successful businessman. His assets have exceeded four million pounds, and they are growing rapidly every day. Recently I heard that he took the lead in developing a new model for General Motors.  Cars, the prototype shown in the United States just now caused a huge sensation. It was called an "epoch-making and surreal genius design." The price of Ford's Model T, which was originally a best-seller, immediately fell in response to the news. Now General Motors has begun to build a factory.  Ready to go into production, he can make a profit of millions of pounds from this alone, so our hundreds of thousands of poundsBeing in debt doesn't affect him at all.

    "Moreover, it doesn't matter even if Dr. Johnson doesn't repay the hundreds of thousands of pounds. When someone writes his biography decades later, it will definitely be mentioned in it: Dr. Johnson once owed dozens of dollars to Mr. Duson of the Vega Cannon Factory.  The pound has never been returned, but Mr. Du Xun is also magnanimous and has never had any recourse. Isn't it a good deal for me to become famous for future generations?" At this point, Du Xun couldn't help laughing.

    When Du Xun was infatuated, Rhodes quickly read through the statements and memos left by Sun Yat-sen, and said in surprise: "Sir, are you going to hand these two ridiculous documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

    "Why not?" Du Xun blinked.

    Rhodes was in disbelief: "Oh my God, this will become the biggest joke of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this year!"

    Du Xun didn't care at all: "What does that have to do with us? The only thing we care about is whether he is willing to spend a lot of money to buy arms from the Vega Artillery Factory. Everything else is just a cloud."

    "Mr. Gray, the Foreign Secretary, will think we are crazy!" Rhodes' eyes widened.

    Du Xun shook his head: "Mr. Gray is a standard British gentleman. He will only frown slightly and throw these two documents into the trash. In this way, our mission will be completed."

    Yes, Du Xun was right. After receiving the statement and memorandum submitted by Du Xun, the British Foreign Secretary tried his best to suppress his smile and said in a gentlemanly manner: "Please tell Mr. Sun that on this issue  Britain will remain neutral." What Gray said has no practical meaning, just like the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson's "strong condemnation of this."

    After hearing Du Xun's message, Sun Yat-sen couldn't help but sigh: "If the British don't come out, what will happen to the people!"

    Although the British Foreign Secretary was not optimistic about this revolutionary from the far East at this time, he did not know that at the same time that he coldly rejected Sun Yat-sen, in China, the governors of the southern provinces held a secret meeting and jointly sent a telegram to Sun Yat-sen.  Report, hoping that he can return to China as soon as possible to organize the provisional government of the Republic of China.  The message said:

    "At present, the overall situation of the southeastern provinces is rough, and the military and civil affairs need to be unified urgently. Mr. Sun Yat-sen is the first person to create the revolution. People at home and abroad deeply believe in it. To organize the provisional government, there is no one else but the king. Therefore, the military governments have sent out official messages to sincerely request Mr. Sun Yat-sen to exert his power.  Take the overall situation into consideration and return to the country as soon as possible to organize a provisional government with one thing in mind."

    Homer Li held up the telegram and asked Sun Yat-sen: "Sun Yat-sen, when do you plan to return to China? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

    Sun Yat-sen mused: "To be honest, I am not in a hurry to return to China and become the President or Prime Minister of China. Of course, if I serve as an official for the benefit of China and the Chinese revolution, I will not hesitate to do so."

    "Then what are you going to do?" Homer Lee still has some insights on the military, but when it comes to Chinese politics, he just blows fire with a rolling pin - he knows nothing.

    Sun Yat-sen said: "Today's situation is complicated and complicated, and there are many heroes vying for the throne. I have no power or soldiers in my hands. After returning to China, I will stand among the military governors of various provinces. I am just a sign and a puppet. What will happen if I can't go back?  The difference? Relatively speaking, there are three people who are more suitable to be the president of the Republic of China than me."

    "Oh, which three people are they?" Homer Lee was very curious.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
