Chapter 1255: The Truth Comes Out
In the end, the Elizabeth Park shooting came to light, but this one turned out to be two!
Based on the characteristics of the three corpses and some other "evidence", the British government determined that the bandits were from China, the remnants of Yuan Shikai's first file in the previous dynasty, and came to England this time to assassinate Zhang Yi, the president of the Republic of China, in order to avenge the loss of the country.
It stands to reason that it is already very good that the British Empire can come up with such a posture in its current position, after all, there are too few countries that can simply force the English government to come forward to apologize and compensate.
However, as representatives of the Republic of China, Zhang Xiaohuai, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Zhang Yihu, commander-in-chief of the First Group Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, flatly denied that the killer came from China! It's from Japan! The reason is very simple, because in the park that day, President Zhang Yi's chief of guard heard that the killer had communicated in Japanese, and the Republic of China also got the body of the killer, which was confirmed by many parties to be Japanese!
As soon as Zhang Xiaohuai and Zhang Yihu's orders spread, an uproar was immediately set off among the dignitaries of various countries, and the German Emperor Wilhelm II immediately jumped out and demanded that the British government re-investigate the case thoroughly, and not give a satisfactory answer to the leaders of various countries, but they would not give a rest!
As for Japanese Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito, he swore and swore that the killer came from Japan, and the Japanese government has never instructed anyone to assassinate the president of the Republic of China.
However, no matter how Ito Hirobumi jumps up and down, it is difficult to change the views of the Republic of China, even if Balfour has come forward to mediate many times and list one benefit after another to the Republic of China, it is not the iron-blooded general Zhang Yihu who has changed his attitude. That guy is adamant, it is the hand of the Japanese, if the countries do not give the Republic of China a justice, then the Republic of China will send troops again to set foot on Mount Fuji!
A wave of unevenness, wave after wave, this time the matter was a big deal, and in the end, even Edward VII came forward in person. came to the legation of the Republic of China and met Zhang Yi again. I hope that this matter can be turned into a small matter, and the daughter of the family was shot three times in a row, and she almost couldn't save her life, and now it is still like this, and the dignitaries of other countries are inconvenient to say anything, except for the second stunned emperor Wilhelm II.
In the end, Zhang Yi slowed down his attitude, but things can't just be over. The British Empire's apology is sincere, and he is also guilty of Princess Alice's injury, and the Republic of China will not negotiate with the British Empire at this time, but Japan cannot just cheapen them like this, since they have wolf ambitions, then the planes of the Republic of China will definitely not be sold to Little Japan. The Republic of China will cancel the aircraft deal with Japan, and 20 aircraft will be dealt with separately!
This is already the biggest concession Zhang Yi has made, looking at the expressions of Zhang Yihu and Zhang Shengqi on the side, Edward VII also knew that the matter was irreparable, twenty planes, just like that, the boiled duck flew away!
Wait until Edward VII is gone. Zhang Yihu just gave Zhang Yi a thumbs up and said, "High, it's really high, the instructor has to admire your level of acting, but I also acted well." ”
Zhang Yi sneered and replied, "The British want to take advantage of our advantage." To stir up the relationship between us and the Germans, we also have to see if we agree or not, this is called stealing chickens and rice, they can't get twenty planes, and they will be happy, but these twenty planes, the Germans want to, and they must show sincerity. ”
Zhang Yihu nodded again and again.
Not long after Edward VII left, Wilhelm II came to the legation, and when Zhang Yi greeted Wilhelm II to the living room, Wilhelm II couldn't wait to say: "General Jianzhi, it's really powerful, just make a random excuse, and detain the Japanese twenty planes, haha, it's enjoyable, let him have a thousand tricks against the British, and he can't compare to your Chinese tiger with a private knife!" ”
Zhang Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "However, this time it is really dangerous enough, this group of Japanese is too rampant, and they are still thieves now, and let them be free for two years, our Republic of China gasped, and when it comes back, it will be the time when the small Japanese country is ruined, and when the time comes, I will let the old boy of Emperor Meiji cry and have no place to cry!" ”
Wilhelm II laughed and said: "General Kenzhi, now that those planes in Little Japan have been cancelled, can you directly transfer them to my German Empire?" ”
Zhang Yi's face was straight, and he replied: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed, now that the world situation has just been established, if I sell these twenty planes directly to you, then Britain, France and Russia will have to fight with me, and they are all staring at this matter!" ”
Wilhelm II's face froze, and he said unhappily: "General Jianzhi, you must know that the number of planes in the hands of our Allied bloc is not as good as that of the Entente bloc, even if we add the number of planes in your country, we are only on par with them, which is too unfair to the Allied Powers!" ”
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, when it comes to international strategic balance at this time, I am also in a dilemma, and I made it clear that as long as everyone buys a plane once, it must not be purchased repeatedly. ”
Wilhelm II said impatiently: "General Jianzhi, what do you think we should do?" ”
Zhang Yi replied: "First, it is advisable to be slow rather than urgent at this time, and we must wait for the cusp of the storm to pass before we can act; Second, these 20 planes must not be sold directly to your country, you can follow the example of the British, buy the planes at a high price through the hands of a third country, and then, in a transaction, so that we will not be involved in it, how about it? ”
Wilhelm II groaned for a moment and nodded: "Well, that's all there is to it!" But now that you've agreed, you can't go back on it! ”
Zhang Yi smiled: "Your Majesty, how can I say that I am also the head of a country, when did I speak without credit?" ”
Wilhelm II has now put all his scruples behind him in order to get more planes, and seeing that Zhang Yi promised to come down, a third country? Isn't that easy? Germany is followed by a group of younger brothers, and a group of them will come over with a casual hello! (To be continued.)
