Lang Jing. The current situation in the Bohai Sea is like that in Northeast Asia, at least "the banner seems to be very calm, there are no waves, but who can guarantee that this calm will last."

This?

Although the "Northeast Asia Crisis" caused by Japan's brazen establishment of the "Kanto Agency" has finally eased through the mediation and mediation of Britain, the United States, and other European and American powers, China and Japan have each taken a step back, and the tense military confrontation situation has been lifted, as long as Japan is still stretching its tentacles to Northeast Asia. There can be no real lasting peace in North-East Asia.

Now Bohai Bay. The sea is sparkling, several steamers line up in a column, from north to south, the steamer is flying the rice flag, the destination is Weihaiwei. Five of them were merchant ships, two cruisers.

Now that the fleet was not far from Weihaiwei, the steamers had slowed down and sounded their whistles to signal the pilot ships in the harbor in order to enter the harbor as soon as possible.

Weihaiwei is located in the north of Shandong, at the mouth of the Bohai Bay, in the past was the Qing court's Beiyang naval division stationed in the port, and the northern part of the Bohai Bay Lushun military port into a horn of the horns, jointly defend the Beijing-Tianjin gateway, this conservative coastal defense idea was ultimately proved to be a failure, the collapse of the Beiyang naval division announced the temporary demise of a large 6 ethnic groups "marine dream", and since then, China's coastal defense is basically not talked about, there is no sea defense, this is the current situation of coastal defense in this oriental country.

There is no coastal defense. There is no talk of defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity, the defeat of the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese War made the great powers see China's weakness, so the weak meat was eaten by the strong, the fleet of Tsarist Russia quickly occupied the port of Arthur, under the pretext of "helping China to monitor the Japanese navy" But no matter how kind the wolf's eyes are, it is a wolf after all, this point, even the dim-witted Manchu court can see it, so when the British government offered to help China "monitor the Russian navy", the Qing court immediately agreed, and the price wasThe "Weihaiwei Leased Land", a military port that was once the port of berth of the Beiyang Naval Division, has become the territory of the British Navy, and the German sphere of influence in the area of the military port has made a very intuitive interpretation of the situation of this weak country.

Britain's choice of Weihaiwei as a military base in North China was fully taken into account Britain's Far East strategy, and Weihaiwei could not only monitor the Beijing-Tianjin region nearby, but could also simultaneously monitor the Japanese-occupied Liaodong Peninsula and German-occupied Qingdao; as long as Britain's Far East policy of uniting Japan to resist Germany and Japan to contain Russia remained unchanged, Weihaiwei would be of decisive strategic significance.

That's why. Weihaiwei had to serve the British government's global strategy, and now it has been put to use by the British government as a service. The "refugee transit station" was used to receive Korean anti-Japanese elements who had been transferred from northeastern China and exiles who did not want to live under the control of the Japanese Korean colonial authorities.

Now, the five British merchant ships heading to Weihaiwei are on a paramilitary mission to transport the Koreans, and the two British cruisers are escort ships. Their starting port was not the Japanese-occupied Lushun, but the Qinhuangdao Coal Port, not far south of Shanhaiguan.

In total, more than 10,000 North Koreans were carried on these five merchant ships. Most of them were former fighters and officers of anti-Japanese guerrillas, and now they have been disarmed and are refugees in exile, and the Japanese Government can no longer hold them accountable for any past "crimes" under any pretext, but the Japanese Government will never allow these people to remain at ease on the Korean Peninsula. The final destination of these Korean anti-Japanese elements was in the South Seas.

According to the written agreement reached by China, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, once China agrees, it is forbidden for its citizens to provide personnel, funds, and arms support to anti-Japanese forces in Korea. Well, the British and American governments will provide shelter for the anti-Japanese exiles in North Korea, and considering that China really cannot afford to accept so many foreign exiles, the British and American governments have reluctantly agreed to transfer some of the anti-Japanese exiles from North Korea to various parts of Nanyang "on a voluntary basis", some to work on rubber plantations in Malaya, and some to work as dock workers in Manila, Philippines. As for those who really don't want to go to the South Seas, Britain and the United States will never force it, and as for how they should be settled, that is a matter for the central government of China.

The Five-Power Agreement took a long time to achieve, and it took almost a month to contain the North Korean anti-Japanese fighters who had been evacuated from the Korean Peninsula to northeastern China. Today, the first group of exiles finally departed. They will go to Weihaiwei first so that they can be screened. There, they will choose their future path in life.

The transfer of the anti-Japanese exiles from North Korea to Nanyang for resettlement, and the huge number of them is enough to make people surprised, this is the most "newsworthy" event in the modern history of mankind, in order to follow up and report on this event, the press circles of various countries have all sent elite soldiers to interview, the whole process of tracking and reporting, after all, the international community has never dealt with the refugee problem caused by the colonization process in such a high-profile manner before. Perhaps, this is an opportunity for Ding Han to promote cooperation between various countries. In order to pave the way for the negotiation to resolve the disputes. In this era, when the destructive power of war is getting stronger and stronger, and the world is becoming more and more turbulent because of it, many people of insight are calling for the formation of a cross-county joint political organization. Resolve conflicts between nations in a just and peaceful manner as an adjudicator.

In fact, China, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States did set up a settlement for the exiles in the South Seas. The United States President Mr. Taft is the honorary chairman of the non-military organization called the "Far East Peace Commission," and Mr. Stade, the British Minister to China, is the executive chairman.

In view of the increasing tensions in Europe and the imminent outbreak of war in the Balkans, in order to avoid a war in Europe, the journalists from all over the world who covered the evacuation of exiles also focused their attention on the "Far East Peace Commission". It is hoped that the experience of this organization in mediating international conflicts will be drawn upon.

As the editor-in-chief of the Far East of The Times, Mr. Morrison personally went out to follow the cross-border transfer of exiles, and now he is sitting on the foredeck of a merchant ship outside the port of Weihaiwei, sitting on a bundle of cables, carefully sorting out his interviews

There were many people on the deck, and when they were about to arrive at the port, many North Koreans who had been staying in the cabin walked out of the cabin one after another, standing on the side of the ship and looking at Weihaiwei Harbor. After all, the Japanese government has officially announced the annexation of Korea, and the end of the "Northeast Asia Crisis" seems to be the official recognition of Japan's annexation of Korea by the great powers. Even China seems to have accepted reality.

The crying on the deck was so loud that Morrison couldn't concentrate, so he had to stop what he was doing for a while. Put the interview notes and the pen in your briefcase. Then he got up from the pile of cables, walked to the bridge with his briefcase, bribed a sailor on duty with a cigar, and found a corner, on the bridge, in order to continue his work.

It might have been quieter back in the cabin, but it's too hot and the smell is too strong. It's better to be on the bridge, there are awnings here, and there are a bunch of British and Japanese officers here to avoid the noise on the deck, and it is more convenient if Morrison wants to interview.

But now Morrison doesn't want to interview those British ** officials, although those British people have done enough to stretch their heads. But conservative and stubborn, it is true that no more useful information can be dug out from their mouths, and Morrison does not want to deal with these British ** officials anymore. As for the Japanese officers, they were more difficult to deal with than the British ** officers. In Morrison's view, those Japanese officers were simply a bunch of "dumb people"

Morrison even believed that the reason why these Japanese naval officers appeared on the ship was not to supervise the transfer of refugees, but to spy on the Weihai Weijun port, after all, the British Navy's military port was not always willing to be opened to the outside world. Even if Japan is an ally of Great Britain.

Because the deck is so noisy, many people with access regard these awnings by the bridge as a paradise. 6 He also hid by bribing the sailors, and while Morrison took out his notes from his briefcase, an officer with an oriental face also hid in this paradise, whistling as he went, and judging by the uniform, he was neither a Japanese officer nor a British officer. Rather, he is a lieutenant officer.

Morrison deliberately took a strong interest in the lieutenant officer, and there were many lieutenants on board, but there were only a few lieutenant officers, and like the Japanese officers, they had no good impression of European reporters. It's difficult for a mid-level official to hang out here, and Morrison decides to try his luck to see if the other party also plans to be a "dumb"

"Hey! Hello, Mr. Officer. Judging by the rank. You seem to be a naval lieutenant? If you were a major, you would be too young, and you would have made great achievements. ”

Morrison walked inside, and this opening was just a few words of flattery, plus his more fluent Chinese. immediately made the lieutenant ** officer have a good impression of him.

"That's right. I'm a major, but this navy uniform is borrowed, and I'm in the 6th Army. ”

The lieutenant ** officer smiled and nodded, and then took off the navy hat on his head, revealing a slick head, and a scar on his forehead was very eye-catching.

"My name is Morrison, I'm a correspondent for The Times, I'm Australian, not British. Please note that I am Australian. Morrison stretched out his hand and introduced himself

。

The officer smiled faintly again, stretched out his hand, shook Morrison's hand in a friendly manner, and introduced himself.

"Hello. Mr. Morrison, whose name is Jiang Huwu, is currently a liaison officer of the Far East Peace Commission. Although I am wearing a Navy uniform, I am indeed a 6th Army, please note that I am an officer of the 6th Army. ”
