The ministers of the Western powers were all gathered in one place, and together with the Japanese minister Mario, they urgently consulted together, and without him, Shanghai was lost.

It doesn't matter if other places are lost, but Shanghai is different, it is the largest port in China, and more than a quarter of the trade of Western countries depends on the port of Shanghai, Shanghai and Guangzhou are one south and one north, accounting for more than one-third of the trade of Western countries with China.

British Minister Ashley was shouting: "No, we must not let the Chinese Revolutionary Army continue to be so arrogant, now even Shanghai has been occupied by them, causing us immeasurable economic losses, we must be made to stop the Chinese Revolutionary Army, even if it is by force!" ”

French Minister Jack Fu also shouted: "Yes, the Chinese tiger must not be tolerated anymore!" Now that North China has banned all the rights and interests of all countries in China, we have suffered heavy losses, if we let the Chinese tiger unify the whole of China, then how can we dump our goods in China, we will absolutely not allow the emergence of a big country in Asia that can compete with the European and American powers, we must suppress it! ”

The Italian minister hesitated: "Mr. two ministers, you two are easy to say, now China's tiger soldiers are hundreds of thousands, no less than with our Western countries, even if you fight, you can ensure that you can win the war, and even if you transfer troops from the mainland to China now, it is completely too late in time, you must know that the fastest, our main army will also need a month to be able to come to China from the mainland."

！ Will Yuan Shikai survive a month? ”

Jack Fu said hatefully: "Yuan Shikai is also a waste, the twenty towns of the New Army under his command can't even stop the Chinese Revolutionary Army of ten divisions!" No matter what, we must hold on, and we must maintain the status quo of the separation of the north and the south of China! ”

The Austro-Hungarian minister Dagman replied: "Everyone, now the Chinese Revolutionary Army is also at the end of the crossbow, and it is not so terrible, they have a total of six group armies and eighteen integrated divisions, and now the sixth group army has completely lost its combat power due to Zhang Zuolin's defection, only fifteen divisions remain, of which two divisions remain in Xinjiang and Gansu to stabilize the situation in the northwest, there are two divisions on the Mongolian Plateau to guard against Tsarist Russia, and one division is left in the three eastern provinces, and the rest of the main forces have gone south, There are no more adjustable troops in the Republic of China, as long as we can arm a mature army at this time and quickly enter the war, we can form the greatest containment on Zhang Yi and definitely stabilize the situation. I think we can still do this! ”

British Minister Ashley's eyes lit up, yes, now is not the time for the Gengzi Incident, at that time, the Chinese Tiger did not have to defend the Great Northwest, did not have to defend Outer Mongolia, and there was no Yuan Shikai's hundreds of thousands of troops to duel against him, he focused all his energy on the big war with the coalition forces, and naturally he could compete with the coalition forces of various countries, now? His Sixth Army has perished, and the defense of various areas has attracted a large number of his troops, and his mobile strength has now been exerted to the extreme, as long as there is another coalition army, it can completely defeat the Chinese Revolutionary Army!

Ashley looked around, and his eyes fell on the Japanese minister, Marisheng.

Ashley said in a deep voice: "Mr. Marisheng, I think it is the closest to China now, and the one who can contain China's troops the most is you Japan, how about it, are you interested, let's play another game?" ”

"This ......"

Ma Lisheng was a little hesitant in his heart, don't look at Japan's moves with the Netherlands, the moves are fatal and very arrogant, but when it comes to fighting with the Chinese tigers, most of the Japanese officers now have a headache, and the Chinese Revolutionary Army is too difficult to provoke!

Marisheng pondered for a moment and said: "Mr. Ashley, we want to participate in this war, but helplessly, our domestic livelihood is withering, and we have just finished a war with the Dutch, and the finances have dried up, which you know very well, we are powerless now......"

Ashley knew very well in his heart that the war with the Dutch was a long-term loan from the British government to Japan, and now this money, even if it was not used up, was almost over, and if there was to be a war, then there would be money to buy arms and money to pay the army

Ashley smiled and said: "Mr. Marisson, the financial problem is not a problem, I can completely decide this matter, as long as you dare to start a war with the Republic of China, before the arrival of the British, French, Italian and Austrian forces, block the offensive of the Chinese Revolutionary Army, then our British Empire can forgive half of your country's long-term loan, and the remaining half can also be deferred to three years later, before the start of repayment, in order to ensure that you have enough money to wage war, I think, the British Empire and the French Empire, The Italian Empire is not going to sit idly by and reads;! ”

Jack stood up and said, "Yes, Mr. Marisam, as long as you dare to go to war and expand the war in Taiwan and the three eastern provinces, then we will provide your country with 10 million pounds of military aid to fund your war!" ”

Marisen's heart was shocked, as long as the war dragged the Chinese tiger, the British loan would be forgiven in half, and another 10 million pounds of military aid would be provided to the empire!

10 million pounds is not a small amount, which is equivalent to one-third of Japan's current annual finances! And half of the long-term loans will be forgiven, and if you remember correctly, Japan now owes Britain as much as 30 million pounds!

Half, that's fifteen million pounds, that's half a year's tax burden, the Japanese Empire issued it!

Marisheng replied in a trembling voice: "Mr. Ashley, Mr. Jackford, I will send this news back to China as soon as possible, and I think that our Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister Ito will definitely welcome this proposal of the two of you!" ”

Jackford said: "Okay, since you think they will agree, our request is that Japan must mobilize at least three divisions to the war within three days, and within half a month, five to eight divisions must be put into the war, only in this way can we be sure that the Chinese Revolutionary Army will be completely repulsed!" ”

Ashley replied: "Alright, Mr. Marisen, without further ado, you can send a telegram to Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi now, and let them make a decision!" ~”

Mario nodded, bowed to everyone, and hurriedly retreated, such good news, of course, I have to tell His Majesty the Emperor and Prime Minister Ito as soon as possible.

In less than a few minutes, an urgent telegram flew to Tokyo, Japan.
