Chai Dongliang analyzed a result that surprised even him from the fragmented information provided by his book friends and the information provided by Koji Yano's "Toei Shobao". The "Sixteen Articles of the Chinese Covenant" concocted by Youpeng and others in Shanxian County seemed to be coercing Yuan Shikai's political axe, but in fact it was used to deal with the opposition in China.

The old spicy of Youpeng and others in Yishan County will definitely not fail to see that a big war is about to break out in Europe, and he threw out this secret treaty that the Chinese cannot accept at any point at this juncture, is it that he is faint? Obviously, this is not possible. Even if Shan Youpeng plans to swallow China in one bite, he will wait patiently for a while, and when the sky is dark in Europe and the powers are too busy to take care of themselves, he will take advantage of China's isolation and helplessness to make another move.

Youpeng in Shan County is a well-known old fox, and he has a surname of Nai, otherwise with his arrogant and domineering surname, he would not have stood tall in the political arena for decades.

At the instigation of the "Toei Bao", Yama Prefecture Youpeng and others took advantage of the Siemens incident to bring down the Yamamoto cabinet, and Yamamoto Gonbei, who was determined to reform, collapsed. Politicians from the navy, such as Gonbei Yamamoto and Minoru Saito, have already broken the streets in Samoto. The Navy wanted to ask for money from Congress, and the first reaction of the lawmakers was that the Navy was planning to embezzle again. After the defeat of the naval faction, the next one who still has a certain threat to Yama Prefecture is Okuma Shigenobu. Yamaguchi Yutomo acquiesced in the Diet to elect Shigenobu Okuma as the new prime minister, could he be so kind?

Yama County Youpeng and Yuan Shikai have been fighting since thirty years ago, each other's methods are well known, Shan County Youpeng will never believe that Yuan Shikai will easily take refuge in Yuben, and Okuma Shigenobu is eager to establish prestige, and wants to rely on this secret treaty to completely control China, so as to establish immortal merits, even if Okuma Shigenobu doubts Yuan Shikai's sincerity, but he will definitely give it a try!

With the status of a friend in Shanxian County, of course he can refuse Yuan Shikai, even if he signs this secret agreement, it is just icing on the cake for him, and Okuma Shigenobu has to try it anyway, even if this rice ball is wrapped in arsenic, he has to take a bite, because it is related to the life and death of him and the interest groups behind him.

The different status determines the different approaches, and some friends in Shan County see it very accurately, and Okuma Shigenobu really can't refuse Yuan Shikai's proposal!

The political arena is nothing more than three forces, the army led by Yamaguchi Aritomo is full of talents, and of course it is the most powerful faction, the second faction is the navy headed by Prince Fushiminomiya and Gonbei Yamamoto, and the third group is the politicians of the Taisho era led by Saionji Konobu and Okuma Shigenobu.

Prince Fushimi Palace is an ornament, Yamamoto Gonbei is the core of the navy, and now that the navy has been hit by the Siemens incident, it is impossible to make a comeback in a short period of time, and the only one who can pose a threat to the army is Okuma Shigenobu and others.

At this time, use a bait that Okuma Shigenobu can't refuse, and induce him to make mistakes, so as to completely defeat this cripple who has always been against Yamayama??? Yamamoto Gonbei and Okuma Shigenobu have collapsed, and there is no one in the country who can balance the mountain county and the army!

What a sharp means, what a powerful mountain county has friends!

Chai Dongliang often breathed a sigh of relief, if his analysis is correct, then the powerful faction led by Yama Prefecture Youpeng is probably very happy to see the Okuma Shigenobu cabinet deflated, just like the Kwantung Army was beaten by the Jianghuai Army in Mukden, the army was disgraced, and the Senate of Xiyuan Temple invited three or five old friends to open champagne to celebrate. This can also explain why, some time ago, the political axe was lukewarm to Yuan Shikai's proposal, and now that Okuma Shigenobu has become prime minister, Minister Hayashi Quansuke and high-level political officials have frequently traveled back and forth between Tokyo and Yanjing.

However, Chai Dongliang is still a little uncertain, whether Yuan Shikai really intends to take refuge in Yueben, or deliberately throws a hollow soup ball to fool Yueben, and then relies on his own power to deter the Jianghuai army and the Beiyang generals.

However, regardless of whether he was sincere or fake, Chai Dongliang had already made up his mind, and in the last few days, he sent troops to Yanjing to destroy Yuan Shikai's regime in one fell swoop.

In the Russo-Russian War, the naval genius Akiyama Shinyuki once reminded the army to pay attention to the 203 Heights, but Admiral Nogi Noshinori ignored it at all and ordered the soldiers to storm Arthur, and as a result, tens of thousands of people were killed by the Russian machine guns and artillery on the 203 Heights, and he also took Admiral Nogi's own son. The army asked the navy to help them transport artillery, and the navy's reply was that the warships were out of fuel and coal, and that the coastal defense guns dismantled from the domestic ports should be delivered to Yingkou, and the army had to spend more than half a month to drag these heavy 380 mm caliber cannons to Lushun, and the navy was happy to see the jokes. In this delay, tens of thousands of soldiers died under the city of Lushun.

Since Emperor Meiji established a new army, the conflict between the army of the Choshu domain and the navy of the Satsuma domain has been almost irreconcilable. During World War II, the Pacific Ocean and the United States were in full swing, and at such a critical moment, the Navy and Army were almost fighting at home, and the two sides opened a posture to fight to the death, and the naval guns were dismantled and erected in the courtyard of the Navy Ministry.

This is almost the case in all the countries of the East, and the internal fighting is more varied than the foreign war, which is difficult to prevent. The Chinese and the Yue themselves are almost identical in this regard. When the bigwigs fight, they never consider the life and death of ordinary soldiers, and they can even ignore the victory or defeat of the war. It's just that the big-headed soldiers who are consumed as cannon fodder are suffering, who let them not be born in the emperor's and rich families!

Chai Dongliang finished reading the information, closed the computer, stretched his waist, and finally felt a little more relaxed. The Jianghuai army is ready for battle, more than 100,000 soldiers, more than 200,000 mules and horses, and more than 300,000 civilians have been requisitioned, and the daily supply of materials is an astronomical amount.

If the fighting does not start again, the nerves of the soldiers who have been tense for too long will be slackened, and the morale and morale of the soldiers will be seriously bruised.

"Governor, look at today's "Declaration"!" Gu Weijun hurriedly came from outside.

Chai Dongliang took it, and almost vomited blood when he saw the title, "It is said that this threatens the political axe of the Republic of China, and President Yuan calls for the whole people to resist the war".

After reading the content, Chai Dongliang felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head, and he couldn't wait to kick Yuan Shikai to death!

What a spicy method, such a ruthless heart!

???? Dividing line ????

The conference room of the Presidential Palace in Zhongnanhai's Huairentang was set up as a studio for a press conference, and Chinese and foreign reporters were crowded with people, and the spotlights were constantly flickering.

Li Jingxi, the dean of Yuan Shikai's Imperial Senate, stood on it, foaming at the mouth and roaring, although the old man was thin and dry, the door was not small, and the dust on the beams of the roaring sound was fluttering.

For two thousand years, no matter how strong China is, it has never touched a single grass and tree, but this is a wolf ambition, from the time of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, it has repeatedly invaded China! In the first year of the first Wu Dynasty, he did not declare war and seized our Liaodong, but fortunately with the help of friends France, Germany, and Russia, Liaodong was returned to China, but he extorted 30 million taels of silver as a ransom fee??? The abdication of the Qing court, the prosperity of the Republic of China, and the friendly exchanges between the countries and the Republic of China, especially the United States, recognized the political axe of the Republic of China at the first time, and upgraded the diplomatic relations at the minister level to the ambassador level! The Republic of China has also reciprocated the hospitality of its friends, opening up its markets and ports to provide business opportunities, but it is said that the main culprit who instigated China's civil strife and shielded the rebellion refused to be extradited, and now it is said that the political axe of the Republic of China has coerced the political axe of the Republic of China to sign the so-called "Sino-Chinese Covenant", and wants to deprive the military, police, economic, and diplomatic powers of the political axe of the Republic of China, and wants to turn China into a colony of the Republic of China, trying to emulate the annexation of Korea in the past??? Is it tolerable or intolerable? ”

The more Li Jingxi spoke, the more excited he became, and he slapped the table on the podium.

The Chinese reporters in the audience were also excited, but out of professional obedience, they endured their anger and recorded every word, and the white smoke of the magnesium lamps filled the room with the smell of choking.

After a long time, Yuan Shikai walked out with the support of two guards, his face was extraordinarily large because of the puffiness, and his complexion was blue and black, which made people worry when they saw it.

Yuan Shikai stood on the podium speechless for a long time, and the reporters below also stopped writing, only the magnesium lights shone silently.

"I, Yuan Shikai, the first president of the Republic of China, again, I just want to say two words, first, I will not sign this traitorous treaty.

"Second, this is not a covenant, this is a war book! This is a declaration of war against the political axe of our Republic of China! Since Ben has declared war, then I don't have anything to say, just take it! Thirty years ago, I was just a six-rank commander of the Qing Dynasty, and I had a fight with Yue himself in North Korea, and thirty years later, I am already the president of the Republic of China, am I still afraid? ”

Yuan Shikai's voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, and his feet were so swollen that he couldn't put on boots, and he was only wearing a pair of specially customized cloth shoes.

"As the president of the Republic of China, I now issue a general mobilization order, all our people, from now on, regardless of the north and the south, the old and the young, all have the responsibility to defend the land, and all our people must be ready to sacrifice from now on, including me, the president??? Said I want our Fujian, then let them come, but I have to step on the corpses of the Fujian soldiers and civilians to take it away, I said that I want to encroach on the interests of our Yangtze River, then let them come, but I want to step on the corpses of the soldiers and civilians in all the provinces along the Yangtze River to take it away, I want to take away the military and government of China, then let them come, but I want to kill all the Chinese people, I want to take away the police of China, then let them come, but I want to kill all the police in China, I want the whole of China, then let them come, Unless they have the ability to kill all 45,000,000 of my Chinese compatriots! ”

Yuan Shikai's emotions were extremely excited, and his voice became louder and louder, almost roaring with the last trace of strength, his voice had broken, and he coughed violently. The audience below was trembling, everyone's lips were almost bitten, and several reporters had inadvertently broken the pens in their hands, and the ink stained their fingers black.

Yuan Shikai coughed for a long time before calming down, and then took a long breath and said: "It's not that I haven't done this, only thirty-six people who carried corpses were killed in the whole city in Lushun back then, is this kind of beastly behavior capable of a country that advertises civilization and modernity?" China has always been friendly to its neighbors and foreign countries, and the political axe of the Republic of China hopes to become good friends with countries all over the world! We love peace, we don't want to fight, but we are not afraid of war! With a history of 5,000 years, China has gone through countless tribulations, but we have survived! If we are willing to risk the condemnation of the world, we will inevitably be spurned by peace-loving countries and peoples all over the world, and we will also be dealt a heavy blow to the 450,000,000 compatriots in China??? I order, starting today, the whole country will be mobilized, and all our people must be prepared to die with the Emperor, and at the critical juncture of the country's ruin, all those who challenge the authority of the Republic of China's political axe, and all those who sabotage the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will be punished with Han annihilation, and the people of the country will discuss it! ”

After speaking, Yuan Shikai left without looking back, there was a silence below, and then thunderous applause: "Long live President Yuan, long live the Republic of China!" ”

"Resist the war to the end, and die with Kou!"

Yuan Shikai's stumbling back, in the eyes of everyone, is unprecedentedly tall!

The newspaper immediately disclosed the contents of the so-called "Sino-Chinese Covenant," and every poor country, every street and alley, all literate people were reading the newspaper.

The people hated him for his outrageous and unreasonable demands, and at the same time expressed 120,000 admiration for President Yuan's tough attitude.

"The president of the Republic of China is more kind than the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! President Yuan Da is doing well! ”

"You don't know, do you? President Yuan Da had a trick with Xiao Yueben thirty years ago, and his old man would be afraid of these Oriental slaves! ”

"Xiao Yue only has a few people, let's drown them as soon as we soak in urine!"

Some people are also worried: "This war with foreigners, we can't be chaotic in our country, if Qin Hui and Zhang Shigui come out, this battle will be difficult to fight!" ”

"That's right, if someone took the opportunity to make trouble, Xiao Yue would have to pick up the cheap!"

"Have you heard? The Jianghuai army sharpened its knives in Anqing, and heard that the governor of Chai Du in Anhui was going to rebel and avenge Sun Yat-sen. ”

"Sun Wen is good and dignified, but he provoked the soldiers to make trouble, and he deserved to be beaten by President Yuan, Chai Dudu wouldn't do this, right? The Jianghuai army has beaten himself in Mukden, and Chai Dudu will definitely not demolish President Yuan's platform at this time! ”

"It's hard to say, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what Chai Dongliang thinks!"

For a while, there were different opinions, but no matter what, from Jiangnan to Saibei, a torrent of anti-Japanese words has been brewing, and the hatred of the whole country for Yueben has begun to ferment, and Yuan Shikai, as the president of the Republic of China, has gained the heartfelt support of the people. The popular heart and prestige that had been lost returned to him in an instant.

A voice began to roam around the country, at the critical moment when the country was ruined, whoever opposed the political axe of the Republic of China was treason, and whoever opposed Yuan Shikai was Han Annihilation!
