Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

The young man in front of me was tall and handsome, and he had a humble yet dignified demeanor, with a strangely attractive aura about him.

It has to be said, the man surnamed Sun is indeed remarkable; he has many talented people around him.

Although he has talented people like Yang Yuting and Guo Maochen around him, such talents are still too few. His current subordinates are still the same old codgers.

All he does is drink and talk nonsense.

"General Zhang, Mr. Sun is doing well. This is a letter that Mr. Sun asked me to deliver to you."

Chen Yuan also took the letter out of his food pouch.

Of course, he was not in Mr. Sun's faction.

He knew the course of history and that following Mr. Sun Yat-sen wasn't necessarily a lucky thing.

However, it's not a big deal to just hang out with them for a while.

"oh?"

Zhang Huzi took the envelope, opened it, and nodded slightly.

It seems Mr. Sun has agreed, and he is quite satisfied with the contents of the document.

This is something that really can't be discussed in detail over the phone.

After all, being overheard is a real problem.

Their plan to join forces against the Anhui clique and the Zhili clique should be without any problems.

Of course, his ambitions are far greater than just those in Northeast China.

Therefore, joining forces with Mr. Sun is essential.

"This Zhang Huzi is really unpredictable. Although he looks like an ordinary old man, he can get along with everyone and make money off the Japanese. He must be no ordinary person."

Chen Yuan also carefully observed Zhang Hu Zi.

Compared to Zhang Hanqing's youthful spirit and passion, Zhang Huzi was clearly more cunning and ambitious.

But he preferred Zhang Hanqing in other aspects.

After all, it's better to make friends with those who are less calculating.

"Young friend Chen, since you are Hanqing's friend, you two should exchange ideas more often. I heard that you also want to attend the military academy's courses with Hanqing. Why don't you stay in the Northeast for now?"

Zhang Huzi said with a smile.

He still admires Chen Yuan.

He had heard that the two men surnamed Duan and Wu had sent men to kill this kid, but the kid had managed to escape.

Moreover, according to Hanqing, this child in front of us is very knowledgeable.

If possible, he would naturally want to bring them to his side.

"Since the commander has extended such a generous invitation, then I shall respectfully accept."

Chen Yuan smiled and replied.

He really wanted to attend the military academy's courses.

It's beneficial to learn this kind of thing.

Although he was a time traveler, he was born in China, so it was still very difficult for him to come into contact with firearms.

Unless you join the army.

Or it's possible to study abroad.

"Alright, then please stay in the guest room for now, young friend. I'll have a few maids help you tidy up."

Zhang Huzi's eyes lit up.

The fact that this young man didn't refuse means that his relationship with Mr. Sun is only so-so.

It seems there's an opportunity to win them over.

What he needs most right now is ambitious young people like this.

"Thank you, Commander!"

Chen Yuan continued.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Huzi, Zhang Hanqing and Gao Xiang took Chen Yuan to a nearby restaurant to welcome him back.

"Brother Chen, you've come at the right time. Lu Ren and Lu Ci from the Lu family are here too, all about that demonic sword!"

Inside the private room, Gao Xiang spoke mysteriously.

"The demon sword Hiruma? Brother Lü Ren and Lü Ci are here too?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

As expected, history is still following its original trajectory.

If he wants to save Lü Ren, it seems he has to take action.

"The demon sword Hirumaru?"

Zhang Hanqing was completely bewildered.

After all, he didn't know much about the martial arts world of the supernatural, so he naturally didn't know that the matter of the Demon Blade was now widely known, and that many young masters from various sects had come to the Northeast to prepare to compete with Eita.

"Yes, Hanqing, it's a Japanese demon sword, you can't really explain it to me."

Gao Xiang coughed.

"More importantly, I've heard the peace conference is about to begin soon."

Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but say.

He was passionate and naturally hoped that the negotiations would go smoothly.

"Yes, the conference is about to begin. Mr. Gu and others are going this time, so it should be alright."

Gao Xiang scratched his head.

Although the man surnamed Lu is not very reliable, Mr. Gu is still very reliable.

"That's true!"

Zhang Hanqing also thought so.

"It's hard to say. Mr. Gu can't carry this alone, and our national strength is too weak right now. To the great powers, we are just a big piece of meat!"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

The saying goes, "A weak nation has no diplomacy."

Only the strong have the right to negotiate with others.

"Brother Chen, is it really that serious?"

Gao Xiang was somewhat incredulous.

"Yes, Brother Chen, you're being too pessimistic."

Zhang Hanqing couldn't help but say something as well.

He still views Western notions of freedom through a filter.

"It's not pessimism, but a realistic speculation. The law of the jungle is not only the law of animals, but also the law between nations. Think about why the Qing Dynasty perished?"

Chen Yuan coughed.

Of course, this is his understanding as a time traveler.

Feudal dynasties were completely outmatched by foreign powers.

They're not even from the same system; I simply can't beat them.

"Is it because the reforms failed?"

Gao Xiang scratched his head.

"I don't know."

Zhang Hanqing couldn't explain it for a moment.

"It's simply because we can't beat them and can't keep up with the times. Japan used to be our vassal state, but now they're riding roughshod over us."

The saying "if you don't advance, you fall behind" applies here. Therefore, what leverage does a country that hasn't undergone any transformation have to negotiate with those wolves?

"

Chen Yuan said helplessly.

Have no idea.

Caught in the torrent of history, his limited power could not change anything; he could only try to deal with it gradually.

"It really is true!"

Gao Xiang gave a wry smile.

Although I don't want to admit it, what this kid said makes a lot of sense.

"...Eh!"

Zhang Hanqing also sighed.

When will we finally be able to stand up again?

He's feeling really frustrated right now.

Hearing Chen Yuan's words, he now had no hope for the meeting.

"However, don't worry, this is only temporary. Just because we're in a bad situation now doesn't mean it will always be like this. We do have over three thousand years of history, after all."

Chen Yuan comforted him.

As a time traveler, he naturally knew that they would definitely rise to power in the future.

However, he couldn't say it directly.

"really?"

Gao Xiang couldn't help but say.
