Hall dragged away, not taking a cloud with him.

After quickly stabilizing the situation with lightning speed, Zhang Hanqing took the lead in the complex situation in Northeast China. Because not only the Japanese are fighting this idea, but the United States is also using this brain. The difference is that Japan wants to occupy it exclusively, while the United States wants to occupy it jointly.

Historically, U.S. delegates have also favored condominium with the Middle East Route, citing the fact that "China's management capacity is insufficient; The Middle East Road is the world's traffic channel and cannot be left to China's disposal. And since the condominium, the Entente countries have invested heavily in this road. ”

----In fact, this road is completely a joint cause between China and Russia, and it has nothing to do with the so-called intervening forces that have just set foot on the territory of China and Russia! Anyway, a weak country has no diplomacy, and it is still the same after entering the Republic of China, and foreigners are helpless to talk to themselves. Subsequently, under the note of the Chinese government, Japan, the United States, and other countries concerned with the matter sent a note to the government of the Republic of China, and still put forward the two items decided by the Washington Council, saying that they were willing to "jointly" deal with China, which would easily be "co-managed" with China.

After the Soviet Red Army victoriously defeated all the opposing forces in the territory and the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union became more and more powerful, and the original hydrangeas to China were meaningless, and the demand for the Middle East Road became stronger, and the Soviet Union continued to control the Middle East Road after surviving the difficulties.

In the official history, it was also the whim of the original young marshal who clashed with the Soviet army shortly after the change of banners in the northeast, and returned with a disastrous defeat, which is known as the "Middle East Road Incident" in history. The consequence of this incident was that the former young marshal turned against the Soviet Union, which was the only one that could put pressure on Japan, resulting in a situation of little international support at 918 o'clock, and then there was no more. It was not until after the surrender of the Japanese invaders in the official history and the founding of New China that the Middle East Road and its ancillary resources were handed over to the Chinese government.

At this time, China's strength was still very weak, so weak that although Zhang Hanqing knew about the future development, he was unable to influence the future situation in Russia. But one thing that can be done is to make full use of the difficult stage of Soviet Russia to maximize China's interests. This opportunity is fleeting, and since we know the attitudes of various countries and the possible trends, the greatest advantage since the crossing is here.

There was also an episode in the meantime: after the three eastern provinces abolished the treatment of the old Russian envoys, the old Russian party was afraid that its Daosheng Bank would also be accepted, so they hoisted the French flag to boycott it---- but the contract between China and the Daosheng Bank stipulated that the bank's shares could only be owned by Chinese and Russians. Since the other party violated the rules, he couldn't complain about Zhang Hanqing's strange cards. He announced the revocation of his rights and interests in the Middle East Road on the grounds that Daosheng Bank had violated the contract, and claimed that he would use the proceeds to help the Belarusian people in China "to relieve their poverty."

Not to mention that the foundation has been eaten and wiped clean, even the loan of 7 million rubles originally lent to him by Daosheng Bank, Zhang Hanqing does not have to repay---- the Soviets came to power, the old ruble of Tsarist Russia was banned, and now it is not worth even a penny, Zhang Hanqing will not be stupid enough to use new currency or other currencies to repay debts.

Other countries don't dare to provoke, doesn't France dare? How could this European power, exhausted after the First World War, have not had time to lick its wounds, do such a thankless task for the sake of the Middle East, which is far from its power? The Russians thought that with the Chinese mentality since the Opium War, they were not afraid of the European and American powers, so how could they rashly cause trouble?

It's a pity that they met the young marshal, a legendary figure who has insight into the evolution of history. Zhang Hanqing forcibly adopted the "Contract for the Renewal of the Management of the Eastern Provincial Railway" during the conversation, saying: "The Chinese government temporarily acts as the Russian government to perform all functions and powers for the protection, management, and maintenance of various treaties and contracts, until China formally recognizes the Russian government and agrees on the road measures with each other." Accordingly, all the rights and interests of Daosheng Bank in the Middle East Road were de facto banned, and its assets in Kazakhstan suffered huge losses, and Zhang Hanqing completely took over the Middle East Road without any waste.

However, seeing that the government in northeastern China has de facto controlled all the interests of old Russia in North Manchuria, due to the changes in Russia's national conditions and relations in the world, it is inevitable to relax with China in order to prevent it from being attacked by the enemy in the Far East.

In fact, on July 25, 1919 and in the summer of 1920, the Russian Workers' Government twice stated that it would return the occupied Chinese territories, and that "after the Soviet Government had returned to the Chinese people everything that the Tsarist Government had plundered from the Chinese people or plundered jointly with the Japanese and the Entente Powers, it immediately recommended that the Chinese Government negotiate the abrogation of the 1896 Treaty, the 1901 Beijing Agreement, and all the agreements signed with Japan from 1907 to 1916." (The original text reads: Abandoning the land and all privileges acquired by aggressive means in China by the old Russian government.) And give up the Gengzi indemnity and return the Middle East Road to China unconditionally)

When the news reached Shanghai, the general public welcomed it, and the federations from all walks of life immediately acknowledged it. However, the government at that time, fearing that China would take the lead in recognizing the Soviet Union would be looked at by the hostile European, American, and Japanese powers, so it sent a telegram to all provinces to ban it. Due to the deterioration of the domestic economic situation, Soviet Russia was eager to trade with China. However, the incompetent warlord government was slow to begin negotiations, and China missed a good opportunity to develop its economy with the help of Soviet Russia. You must know that although the industrial level of Soviet Russia is far behind that of Europe and the United States, it is far from being on the same level as China. All the imperialist countries, except the Soviet Union, "do business" with China for the purpose of plundering China, are only asking for primary raw materials, and there is no idea of upgrading China's industrial capacity at all.

Now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, should it put forward strong opposition (due to the serious situation at home and abroad, all that Soviet Russia can do at present is to embellish diplomatic rhetoric) or go down the slope? The Russian government wisely chose the latter. Russia has always had a tradition that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and this opportunity is only waiting for the future. But whether there is a chance to turn the book in the future depends on the chance.

Zhang Hanqing would not give anyone a chance, and after a short communication with Sun Liechen, he decided to declare sovereignty to the world with the fact of arming. The three brigades of the Heilongjiang Security Command marched separately and took control of the Mudanjiang and Suifenhe in the east, and the first division also marched towards Jiamusi on the Sino-Russian border. The aim was to create a fait accompli and prevent a possible landing of the intervention forces in China.

Of course, at an extraordinary time, the weapon of the country was dispatched, so as not to give people a mouthful, Zhang Hanqing used the name of protecting the road. He set up the "Middle East Road Road Protection Army Headquarters", and the personnel and horses are still the same set of personnel of the Heilongjiang Security Command, one team, two brands, and there is not an extra redundant personnel.

All countries have opinions on China's reconquest of the Middle East.

Because Soviet Russia made peace with Germany's strike, German and Austrian forces permeated Russia, and the Czech army opposed to Soviet Russia was restrained and fell into crisis. In order to strangle the newly-born socialist countries in the cradle, Britain, the United States, France, Japan, and Italy have jointly sent troops to Siberia to aid the Czech army. When the countries jointly sent troops to Siberia, they asked each country to send a representative to organize a committee in Vladivostok to jointly manage the Trans-Siberian and Eastern railways under the pretext of military transportation. Stephen, the U.S. representative and technical secretary of the committee, demanded that the Middle East Road be jointly managed on the grounds that China's management capacity is not sufficient, and that the Middle East Road is a traffic channel in the world and cannot be left to China's disposal.

The situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, from China dealing with Japan alone to facing the joint pressure of several countries, where should Zhang Hanqing go?
