First of all, Zhang Yi's first appointment was the German Minister to the Republic of China, Corifin.
Coryfen hurriedly came to the president's office, saw Zhang Yi sitting in the chair, and said with a smile: "General Jianzhi, what's the matter, calling me over so urgently?" ”
Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Mr. Corifen is here, please sit down, come here, serve tea." ”
Colyfen faced Zhang Yi, made a huge sofa chair, and looked at Zhang Yi quietly, at this time, someone offered Colyfen a cup of strong tea.
Zhang Yi said: "Mr. Corifen, let's open the 'door' to see the mountain, this time I invite you to come over for a while, there is only one thing, that is, your country declared war on the Qing Dynasty and sent troops to Tianjin!" ”
Corifen was stunned for a moment, and said: "General Jianzhi, this war was not provoked by us, but provoked by the Qing Dynasty, their old queen mother, is really too deceitful, and even brutally killed our minister, Mr. Klinder, as the most powerful country in the world, Germany will never tolerate other countries to despise the dignity of our empire so much!" ”
Zhang Yi replied in a deep voice: "But, Mr. Corifin, do you know that more than a hundred Chinese have died under the gun of Minister Klinder, doesn't he deserve it?" ”
Corifen shrugged his shoulders and said: "General Jianzhi, I don't understand what you mean, we Germany have an agreement with the Qing government, no matter what kind of crimes the Germans commit on the land of the Qing country, they need to be 'handed over' to the German government to try and sentence, and the Qing government has no right to interfere, not to mention that Minister Klinder died in the Qing Boxers." Chaos in the hands of the people, our Majesty Wilhelm II thundered and wried, this war is unavoidable, do not give the Qing country a bloody lesson, in the future, how can our German Empire gain a foothold among the great powers! ”
Zhang Yi said slowly: "However, Mr. Corifin, I am very worried about the deployment of troops by the coalition forces of various countries, and now the situation in the Republic of China is also in your eyes. ”
Corifin said with a smile: "Of course, I understand General Jianzhi's concerns very well, and His Majesty Wilhelm, considering the close relationship between your two countries, has also clearly instructed that the German army that will go to war will definitely not cross the Shanhai Pass, and it will not have any impact on the Republic of China,"
Zhang Yi replied: "Mr. Corifin, I am Chinese, and the people living on the land of the Qing Kingdom are all Chinese, all my compatriots, fathers and fellow villagers, this war is too harmful to the Chinese, so I want to persuade His Majesty William to withdraw through you!" ”
Corrigin jumped up and yelled, "Impossible! General Kenzhi, our friend for many years, your friendship with His Majesty William is also deep-rooted. But this cannot be a reason to prevent us from sending troops, the tragic death of a country's minister in a foreign country is a matter of national dignity, and I think His Majesty William will never agree to it! ”
Zhang Yi smiled faintly and said: "Mr. Coryfin, first of all, I want to admit that it is reasonable to be reasonable, Minister Clinder died tragically, and the Qing government is absolutely responsible, and it is indeed unreasonable to ask you to withdraw your troops for no reason, but what if you have to withdraw your troops?" ”
"Have to withdraw troops?"
Coryfen looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously.
Zhang Yi replied: "Mr. Corifen, there are 40,000 Chinese living in the Guan, their lives are at stake than Mount Tai, I absolutely cannot watch it, my fathers and fellow villagers are caught in fire and water, as long as the great powers dare to take Beijing City, I will definitely lead troops into the pass!" ”
Cory Fen looked at Zhang Yi blankly, shook his head, and said, "General Jianzhi, as an old friend, I advise you not to hit a stone with an egg!" The union of the great powers is incomparably strong, even our German Empire does not dare to compete with so many countries, and we German soldiers are not willing to meet the warriors under your command. ”
Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Mr. Corifen, sending troops is something I have already decided, and no one can change it, but I don't want to meet your country's soldiers, so I ask your country to withdraw its troops, and the most important thing for your country at present is not to invade the Qing Dynasty!" ”
Corrigin asked, "What is our most urgent task?" ”
Zhang Yi stood up, came to the map, poked his finger heavily in the territory of Heilongjiang, and replied: "Your most urgent task is to protect Heilongjiang and prevent it from falling into the hands of Tsarist Russia!" ”
Colifen looked at Zhang Yi suspiciously, and immediately came to his senses, and shouted: "General Jianzhi, are you saying that this time Tsarist Russia wants to invade Heilongjiang and occupy the Daqing oil field in which we invested?" ”
Zhang Yi sneered: "Mr. Corifen, don't you know how greedy Tsar Nicholas II was, the Daqing Oilfield and the coal mines in Hebi are indescribably tempted and confused by him, as well as the coal and steel complex in Fengtian, otherwise, what is he doing with gathering 100,000 troops on the other side of the Heilongjiang River, playing with his family?" ”
Corifen roared, "He's dreaming! If she dares to occupy Heilongjiang, she will face the boundless wrath of our German Empire! ”
Zhang Yi replied: "Mr. Corifen, in the next two days, I will mobilize my troops and personally lead 100,000 male divisions to 'advance' into the Central Plains, so that the defense of Heilongjiang will become empty, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the First Army to resist the attack of the Tsarist Russian army, and I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before the Daqing oil field changes hands!" ”
Coryfin's face was pale, and he said angrily: "General Jianzhi, I can't understand what you did, you didn't even want the foundation of your Republic of China for the sake of the Qing Dynasty?" Heilongjiang is the territory of your country, and you must ensure that the interests of our German Empire are not infringed upon by any country! ”
Zhang Yi shrugged and replied, "Mr. Corifen, keep Heilongjiang?" What about Inner Mongolia? What about Jilin? What to do with Mukden? I only have 30,000 troops, of which 100,000 troops will be transferred by me into the Guannai, only 200,000 troops, do you think I can stop the combined forces of Tsarist Russia and Japan? ”
"This ......"
Corrignin was also a little panicked now, once Heilongjiang, especially Mukden, was invaded by Japan and Russia, the losses of the German Empire would be too great. After all, Tsarist Russia borders China, and hundreds of thousands of troops in its territory may attack China at any time, but its own country is thousands of miles away from China, and without the support of a developed naval fleet, the 'elite' German army cannot be transported to China on a large scale to defend against the Russian army, and even if it can, the price is too great! Today, the German Empire's investment in the Republic of China has exceeded hundreds of millions of taels of silver, which can be said to be the most important strategic point in addition to Germany itself, which is absolutely not to be missed!
