At this time, Wu Peifu said to the gun-carried guards who had always surrounded him and Jian Yumei, "You can take it down, I'll talk more with this little brother,"

The soldiers looked at each other, and then they began to retreat, retreated to a distance, and looked at them from a distance, their guns were still aimed at Jian Yumei.

"Okay, little brother, let's talk together," said Wu Peifu.

Jian Yumei put down the knife.

"You said, Mr. Wu, what do you think you should talk to me," Jian Yumei said.

Wu Peifu looked at Jian Yumei, as if he was thinking about something. Jian Yumei could not see any treacherous in his eyes. However, Wu Peifu looked like Jian Yumei felt that Jian Yumei was on the way.

"Brother, I have a very good skill and a rare talent. Let's join me in the future and be my subordinate. I will arrange for you which position do you think you are suitable for," said Wu Peifu.

"No, I won't be an official in the warlord army," Jian Yumei said lightly.

"How do you think we are warlords? I, Wu Peifu, are deeply influenced by traditional culture. I am a scholar who joins the army and is determined to serve the country and realize the country's rejuvenation. You follow this commander, I think you will have a future,' said Wu Peifu.

"Wu Dashuai likes to read the Book of Changes and writes. I know that when students protested against the results of the Paris Peace Conference a few years ago, you called on to support the students' opinions. I saw these in the newspapers," said Jian Yumei.

"Yes, this great general's proposal is consistent and will not change. I believe that a country must have a strong government to achieve national prosperity," said Wu Peifu.

"But your Beiyang forces can only compete for power and profit. You were the representatives of the Chinese new army back then. You held heavy troops in your hands. You could get power for the revolutionary party in the 1911 period because you had the strength to force the Qing court to step down. But you could not establish the Republic of China. Starting from Yuan Shikai, you only want to get your own power. You don't know what a people have an elected government, and you will not build a country. You see, the country is in decline. Do you think you Beiyang warlords have no responsibility," said Jian Yumei.

"No, I think no, I think although Marshal Yuan was reckless in his proclaiming emperor back then, if he succeeded in proclaiming emperor, we think it could be done as modernized as the Meiji Restoration in Japan under a unified state. Later, Sun Yat-sen kept making trouble there, advocating for continued revolution, causing the country to split, and the country was so weak. I, Wu Peifu, felt deeply saddened. I was determined to eliminate the division and re-establish a unified country," said Wu Peifu.

Jian Yumei looked at Wu Peifu, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Do you think you can unify the country, you think you can defeat Zhang Zuolin, you think you can defeat the Kuomintang, you think your thoughts can make the whole country admire you? Can you get everyone's recognition like Mr. Sun's thoughts?" Jian Yumei said.

Wu Peifu looked at Jian Yumei. He originally thought that this young man was just a simple and good-skilled man. He thought that he was eloquent and could convince the young man to follow him.

But at this moment, he was speechless.

"Who did you learn these thoughts from? These are part of heretic theory. They interrupted traditional thoughts. The revolutions and democracy they advocated are unrealistic. It is unrealistic in our China. We still need power to make progress," said Wu Peifu.
