Chapter 1299: Countermeasures

A huge problem is placed in front of Zhang Yi, this juncture, it is really a little hesitant, if it was a year earlier, Zhang Yi would definitely eat Java in one breath with the power of victory, and not even a bone will be left for Little Japan; Or a year or two later, Zhang Yi will also immediately raise troops, at that time, the army is strong, the naval warships are almost built, the entire South China Sea will have no opponent of the Chinese Navy, even if the British Asian Fleet is dispatched, it will not be the opponent of the Chinese Navy, but at this time, it is difficult to go up or down.

Zhang Yi looked at Tang Shaoyi and said: "Shaochuan, immediately send a note to the European and American powers, asking them to protect the lives and property of the Chinese in their colonies, if a large-scale social incident breaks out, the Chinese Revolutionary Army will not hesitate to send a large army to protect the safety of overseas compatriots!" In addition, he immediately met with the Japanese minister to strongly protest against the mistreatment of the Chinese by the colonial government of Java, and demanded that the old guy of Meiji must publicly apologize within ten days, revoke the heavy taxes on the Chinese in Java, and if they dare to delay for time, the Chinese Revolutionary Army will send troops to administer the Java Islands on their behalf! ”

Administering the Java Islands on behalf of Japan? It's very polite, isn't it just to grab it directly and make it a colony of the Republic of China?

Zuo Gongliu and the other three people listened to the heartbeat, good guy, the Chinese tiger deserves to be a first-class ruthless character, and he dared to directly threaten all the powerful countries that colonized the South Seas, and he didn't care about any of them! This is the style of a country's leader!

Xu Huaijin on the side said slowly: "This is not enough! ”

Zhang Yi looked at Xu Huaijin and asked, "Huaijin, what other good ways do you have?" ”

Xu Huaijin replied: "Back then, the Qing government sent diplomats to Nanyang to deal with the affairs of the Chinese in Nanyang, but the Qing Dynasty was incompetent, just a formality, and did not play much role. Now, with the founding of the Republic of China, we are busy with domestic affairs. If this matter is delayed, it is better for us to send diplomats and establish a consulate, and once the local Chinese encounter problems, they can ask the consulate for help, and the consulate will come forward to negotiate. I think it is also possible to form a certain constraint on the colonial government! ”

Tang Shaoyi on the side clapped his hands and praised. He said: "Okay, Huai Jin said it well, that's the reason, we can set up consulates in the Philippines, Malay, Java, Vietnam, Myanmar and Thailand and other places, send diplomats, and act as overseas Chinese affairs, and for a period of time in the future, the navy can also strengthen patrols in the South China Sea and hold military exercises." Deterrent nations! ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Okay, just do it, Mr. Liang!" ”

Liang Cheng hurriedly stood up and said, "President, what do you command?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Give you half a month to complete the selection of consulate personnel from all over the world." Within three months, six consulates must be established in various parts of Nanyang to handle overseas Chinese affairs, and the consulate general can be set up in the Philippines, well, send a telegram to President McKinley. Enlist his support! ”

Liang Cheng hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Zuo Gongliu and the three of them were overjoyed, they didn't expect that this time the matter was resolved so smoothly, with the current national strength of the Republic of China, they sent a note to all countries and solemnly protested, any country. It is impossible to turn a blind eye, the Republic of China is not the gloomy Qing Empire!

Zuo Gongliu hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, President, thank you, Prime Minister, Brother Huaijin, thank you!" ”

Xu Huaijin waved his hand and said, "Okay, Gongliu, our brothers don't have to be so polite." Tomorrow, the note of the government of the Republic of China will be sent to Britain, the United States, France, Japan and other countries for negotiations, not only that, but the government of the Republic of China will also directly issue a telegram, asking all countries to safeguard the interests of the local Chinese, the Republic of China is the strong backing of overseas Chinese, no matter what happens, there is the motherland behind you to support! ”

Zuo Gongliu nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, yes!" Brother Huai Jin, when the three of us came, the five big Chinese families in the Java Islands promised that as long as the government of the Republic of China was willing to help us get through this difficulty, all the Chinese in Java were willing to do anything for the Republic of China, and any conditions could be proposed! ”

Zuo Gongliu's meaning is already obvious, the government of the Republic of China has spent so much energy for overseas Chinese, and it really needs to come up with something to repay others.

Zhang Yi shook his head on the side and said: "No need, Mr. Zuo, it is not easy for overseas Chinese to survive outside, especially those Chinese at the bottom are even more difficult, your kindness, we understand it, and the hearts of the Chinese leaders in Java, we also understand it, but now that the Republic of China is thriving, we don't need your help, and when we need help, you can be generous." Also, now that the motherland is in a period of reconstruction, our government hopes that the Chinese leaders in Java will return to China to invest and set up factories, and also hope that the Chinese people from Nanyang countries can return to invest in China. ”

Zuo Gongliu nodded excitedly and replied: "Yes, yes, we must keep in mind the president's teachings, and we will definitely convey your words to all the clan elders!" Also, our clan elders want the president to send an envoy to Java to discuss these issues, this ......"

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "This is easy to do, Chief Liang, select a deputy minister from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a special envoy, and follow Mr. Zuo and others south to Java in the near future!" ”

Liang Cheng nodded and agreed: "Okay, president, after I go back, I will start preparing immediately." ”

Zhang Yi was still not at ease, and shouted: "Brother Zixiang! ”

Liu Xiaochan on the side hurriedly stood up, and Zhang Yi continued: "Brother Zixiang, I guess Huaijin has communicated with you about the key direction of the Huaxia Navy a few days ago, right?" ”

Liu Xiaochan nodded and replied, "Well, Brother Huai Jin has already communicated with me, and the order for the adjustment of the strength of the three fleets was only issued the day before yesterday!" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "There is also an order for the South China Sea Fleet to accept the dual leadership of the General Participation in the Southern Military Region, and grant Cai Ye the right to temporarily arbitrarily deal with it in case of alarm, and the South China Sea Fleet must patrol the sea at least once a month!" We must exert the necessary pressure on the countries of the South Seas, the tigers are not threatening, and they still treat us as sick cats! ”

Liu Xiaochan replied: "Jianzhi rest assured, the South China Sea Fleet itself patrols the sea once a month, but for example, it is not that far, I asked them to increase the distance of the patrol to 1,500 kilometers, which is enough to form a huge deterrent to various countries, and I also want to temporarily deploy the follow-up warships to the South China Sea Fleet first to ensure that the South China Sea Fleet has sufficient combat power!"
