Section 117 Joker

"We were angry about the feeling of being betrayed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoI can't believe that the Northeast has been abandoned by the international community like this. Is there any justice in this world? ”

Yang Chao said angrily to a commercial secretary sent by the French.

"I suggest, however, that your foreign minister would do well to speak to me personally. Because Japan does not recognize the Japanese-Russian issue of the Northeast, and our troops are about to march into the Northeast, if a war with Russia is triggered, I believe that this is not what France wants to see. ”

After Yang Chao complained first, he told the French, you are not good enough, let your boss come.

When the French secretary heard what Yang Chao said, not only did he not get angry, but he also felt that his level was not enough, because the matter of the Chinese army entering the northeast was too big, and what kind of international reaction would be triggered was not something he could decide.

The reason why Yang Chao waited until the results of the negotiations between Japan and Russia came out, and confirmed that both Japan and Russia were dissatisfied at home, did not negotiate with the French because he knew that the French were most anxious at this time, and France was Russia's staunchest ally.

In order to cope with this war, Japan mobilized more than one million troops, the war lasted for two years, how many factories were on the verge of bankruptcy, how many farms had been deserted, and the most important thing was that they owed more than three billion foreign debts, and the interest alone made the Japanese feel under heavy pressure, and Britain and the United States both expressed their unwillingness to borrow again, hoping that they would sign a treaty. Only then did Japan finally sign a treaty with the Russians without achieving substantial benefits.

A resumption of war?

Gather the recovered army, do you think it's that easy? In the current situation in Russia, who knows what will happen, rather than rashly taking advantage of the fire to rob when the situation is not clear, it is better to wait until the melons are ripe and fall.

Everyone knows this truth, and Yang Chao also knows it, but the Qing Dynasty does not have the capital to follow the vine and touch the melon, and when the melon is ripe and falls, the daylily is cold, so the Qing government only has the capital to rob while the fire is burning, and even take risks when necessary.

However, Yang Chao knows better that it is impossible for the Russians to ripen and fall, the Russians did not break their muscles and bones this time, although the revolution is violent, but there is no core organization, the power gap between the BA workers and the government is too great, and in the end it will be ruthlessly suppressed, and then the Russians will usher in a wave of economic upswing.

But Russia will not be calm for a year or two, so Yang Chao must intervene when the Russians themselves have no time to take care of it, and take the opportunity to reach an agreement with the Russians.

As for the probability of victory, Yang Chao felt that he was still very sure, it was impossible for the Russians to risk a battle in the Northeast, and even they did not dare to risk continuing to keep their troops in the Northeast, their soldiers were withdrawing from the country at a faster rate than the Japanese, and they wanted to send them back, where was it so easy.

The most important thing is that Russia's problem is not that the country is not strong enough, it is not that there are not enough soldiers, they are completely a political crisis caused by an economic crisis, and the defeat of the Russo-Japanese War is just a fuse, and the Russians do not dare to risk reopening the war and lighting a fuse.

Until the domestic problems are dealt with, the Russians will not look at the Northeast.

Therefore, as long as the Qing government intervenes at this time, the Russians will not play with their lives.

On the other hand, if the British saw that the Qing army dared to use force against the Russians in the northeast, who would they support? There is probably no doubt about that. The Americans, like the others, will certainly not support Russia's domination of the Northeast.

Not to mention Germany, they wished that the Qing army would enter the northeast to start a war with the Russians, but they planned to take advantage of the Russian Revolution to "protect" the tsar, and if the tsar drove all the five or six hundred thousand troops in the northeast to the borders of Europe, it would not seem so convenient for them to "protect" the tsar.

The Germans are going to protect the Tsar, can the French not be in a hurry?

The French were still counting on the Tsar to protect them, and the Tsar was not only the little father of the Russian people, but also the little father of the French. If the Tsar was protected by the Germans, then who would protect the poor French children.

So if the Qing army enters the northeast, will the French choose to continue to support their little dad in the war, or persuade their little dad to endure it.

If the Qing government expressed its willingness to cede some power to Russia, would the Russians take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and accept it under the persuasion of the French and domestic pressure?

Moreover, the Qing army is different from the Japanese army, and so far, including the treaties between Japan and Russia, only guarantee the respective interests of both sides, and no one has mentioned the issue of Russia's withdrawal from the northeast, it is the problem of the Russians themselves, in other words, the international community has given up on letting the Russians hand over the northeast.

Then, as long as the Russians signed the cession treaty by the Qing government, then the northeast would be Russian.

Before there was a treaty, Northeast China remained Chinese territory, and the "Treaty on the Settlement of the Three Eastern Provinces" signed between China and Russia was still the only treaty on the issue of the Northeast Territory.

Well, in fact, what the Qing army has to do is to drive the army in and see if the Russians want to fight, and whether they dare to fight.

It's like when Hitler drove his army into the Rhineland to test whether the French dared to fight, but France didn't dare to fight, acquiescing to this fact, the French didn't know that as long as they sent troops, Hitler was going to flee in disgrace. As a result, the mistakes went on step by step, and in the end Paris was occupied.

Yang Chao just wants to take a gamble, win the bet and take back the Northeast, this is the best opportunity, and the only opportunity, and the plan is so far away.

Sure enough, the French were the most anxious, and the French foreign minister hurriedly came to him, hoping that China would exercise restraint.

At the same time, the French were very professional and asked Yang Chao to prove that he could represent the Qing government.

"I can't represent it. Believe it or not, I'm just revealing a piece of information to you. It is hoped that France will make plans as soon as possible so as not to harm France's interests. ”

Yang Chao can't guarantee it, let the French consider it for themselves.

The French Foreign Minister decided to believe Yang Chao, but asked Yang Chao to assure: "Our government hopes that your country will exercise restraint!" ”

Yang Chao said righteously: "Restraint, how to restrain it?" Ceding the Northeast to Russia? ”

The French said: "Of course, Northeast China is still Chinese territory, and the international community will not support China's territorial changes." ”

Yang Chao said with a smile: "I hope the support of the international community will be useful." ”

After saying that, he got up and stretched out his hand, and the Frenchman could only shake it with him.

Watching Yang Chao, who was wearing a captain's uniform, walk out of the conference room of the hotel, the French felt so funny.

"A clown! Play for the gallery! What a nouveau riche of a down-and-out empire is angry! ”

The French said in their hearts.

But he hurried to the presidential palace and reported the situation to the president.
