Chapter 365: There are friends in Shanxian County

Outside the National Assembly Building in Yanjing, in front of a flash of lights, Gu Weijun and Fang Ze Qianji's hands were tightly clasped together.

Of course, while shaking together, Fang Ze Qianji also said a word to Gu Weijun.

"Thank you."

As for Gu Weijun's answer, it is also very simple.

"You're welcome"

After Kenkichi Yoshizawa arrived in China, after learning many things about China through Lin Quansuke, Kenkichi Yoshizawa already got to work.

To be honest, Kenkichi Yoshizawa's work did not go very smoothly, because as the conflict occurred, the mood of the middle that had been eased by Lin Quanzhu also re-emerged. In China, the anti-rhetoric is extremely strong, and in the two political and business terms, which are the most snobbish, because of the current triumphant relationship of the National Defense Force, these guys who were originally polite when they saw Yue himself, and who could even be called groveling in front of Yue himself four years ago, have also become arrogant.

However, as a diplomat, a very important criterion is to have a fairly thick skin.

Therefore, even in the midst of many difficulties, Kenkichi Yoshizawa is still carrying out his work.

Unfortunately, when his work was slightly unfolded, what reached Yan Jing and his ears was the annihilation of the Sixth Division, and the news of the suicide of the division commander Akashi Genjiro by seppuku learned the news, and after thinking about the attitude of the Chinese earlier, Fang Ze Kenji finally reacted, it turned out that the fundamental purpose of the Chinese was nothing else, that is, before the negotiations began, to annihilate all the Sixth Division in Sakhalin and after the annihilation of the Sixth Division, Fang Ze Kenji's situation also became worse.

Because at this time, Kenkichi Yoshizawa had lost all his hands.

It was at this time that Gu Weijun, who had always been perfunctory to him, finally walked in front of Fang Ze Qianji and "start negotiating"

In the process of talking, Gu Weijun put forward a total of 5 conditions.

The first is that after the defeat of Sakhalin, all the ownership of Sakhalin Island will be owned by China.

This did not surprise Kenji Yoshizawa, and neither did the British and American ambassadors who were pulled over by Kenji Yoshizawa to help him, after all, Sakhalin Island, as a place of war, had been completely occupied by the Wehrmacht. Therefore, it seems to them that demanding the whole of Sakhalin is also a very reasonable thing to do.

Of course, it will be so light, also because there is nothing in Sakhalin now, and if it is a land like Tampico in Mexico, it is not a simple matter to want the Anglo-American nod.

As for Kenkichi Yoshizawa and others, to be honest, they are still very reluctant to Sakhalin, because Sakhalin, which is also known as Sakhalin, is definitely not small in terms of area.

It is an exaggeration to say that the overall area of Sakhalin Island is even a little more than that of the two Hainan Islands.

Such a large island, even if there are no resources on it, is difficult for the book to be cut. After all, Sakhalin is more than 20% of the mainland, and it is by no means a small place.

As for Yan Guang?

Although in later generations, it seems that they heard that there are oil resources on Sakhalin, but think of the Great Khingan Mountains, think of the Caucasus, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan that have fallen into their hands. The most important are Iraq and Kuwait, and for Yan Guang, the little resources on Sakhalin Island are nothing.

After all, when the resources of Iraq and Kuwait are developed, even Tampico in Mexico will no longer need to be taken seriously.

In fact, for Yan Guang, Sakhalin only represents a history, a history of humiliation, and the recovery of Sakhalin Island means the end of this humiliating history.

After all, it was the territory that Tsarist Russia forced the Manchus to cede through the Sino-Russian Treaty of Yanjing in 1860, an unequal treaty signed between Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty in Yanjing on November 14, 1860 (the tenth year of Xianfeng). The treaty allowed the Qing government to confirm the legitimacy of the Treaty of Aihun and cede about 400,000 square kilometers of territory east of the Ussuri River, including Sakhalin.

Now, this treaty has been directly abolished because of Yan Guang's efforts, and up to now, all the territories that were once divided by Russia in the past have been recovered by Yan Guang. And at the same time as retrieving, Yan Guang also cut off a few pieces of meat on the Russians' bodies, a few pieces of meat that even if they are hundreds of years later, I am afraid that the Russians will feel distressed.

After the first condition was agreed, Gu Weijun began to talk to Fang Ze Qianji about the remaining conditions.

The first condition, of course, is the question of Sakhalin.

The second condition is that after the treaty is signed, the social and political axes of the reparations for the Gengzi Incident will not be paid.

The third condition is to cancel all unequal treaties signed between China and the government in the past.

The fourth condition is the revocation of all the concessions in China, such as those in Shanghai and Tianjin.

The fifth condition is to compensate the Chinese merchants and fishermen for all their losses in this conflict, and it is ten times the amount to compensate.

The sixth condition is to abolish all rights and interests in Northeast China, including the South Manchurian Railway, and the right to garrison the South Manchurian Railway, and there is no need to discuss the issue of Port Arthur. Because now, Port Arthur has been successfully taken by the expeditionary force, and at the top of the Arthur Fortress, the flag belonging to China has also been planted on it.

Therefore, the status of the Lushun fortress does not need to be discussed at all.

What's more, according to the original treaty, even if the Lushun Fortress was not recaptured by force, it would have been automatically recovered in 1922 In addition to these six conditions, Gu Weijun's final condition was a sky-high indemnity For the seven conditions offered by Gu Weijun, if the first five are acceptable, then the sixth and seventh conditions are absolutely unacceptable to Fang Ze Qianji.

Not to mention anything else, Yuben has been operating in the Northeast for many years, and there are many interests there, and there are quite a lot of domestic chaebols involved, and giving up all the Northeast is not something that Yoshizawa Qianji can decide.

As for the compensation or something, Gu Weijun's class is not a small number, and the current book is also impossible to come up with.

In order to show his disagreement with these conditions, Kenkichi Yoshizawa not only showed great disagreement in the negotiation hall, but also brought the British and American ambassadors who were in charge of helping him to come forward.

However, for the British and Americans, it was normal for the British and Americans to cede their rights and interests in the Northeast, after all, the conflict was lost by the Northeast, and in the course of the conflict, the Northeast had lost all its rights and interests.

What's more, for Britain and the United States, a powerful book is also something they don't want to see.

You must know that in the list of thorns in the eyes of Britain and the United States, the first in line is Bolshevik Russia, the second is China, the third is each other, and the fourth is the Bolshevik Russia, so for Britain and the United States, it is a matter of course that the loss of the Northeast is a matter of course.

As for why the two are hostile to each other, you must know that Britain will not be willing to cede the global hegemony that it has held for hundreds of years. In fact, after the end of the European war, Britain began to restrict the work of the United States. For this reason, after the [Washington Naval Treaty], Britain even considered overloading the original conditions to further limit the displacement of warships and the caliber of naval guns.

The reason for this is that the British know very well that the gap between themselves and the United States is in industrial strength, and if they can limit the displacement and caliber of warships, then they can minimize the advantage of the United States in industrial strength, so that even if Britain's industrial strength is lower than that of the United States, it can maintain a balance of power with the United States.

If you count the battleships Hood and Nelson, which have already been launched, Britain even has some advantage over the United States at sea.

The Americans are naturally quite clear about the British mind, and for a period of time in the ensuing period, the two countries have been arguing about this matter, although Yoshizawa Kenkichi did not want to sign such a treaty, and maintained and even brought in the British and American ambassadors, but the focus of the British and American ambassadors was not on the rights and interests of the British and American ambassadors in the northeast, but on the indemnity that he needed to pay in this conflict, so the British and the United States raised great objections to the reparations that he should have paid.

However, Gu Weijun is not in a hurry, because at this time, it is not others who should be most anxious, but Yuben.

You must know that since the beginning of the negotiations, the submarine force has never stopped [breaking the fighting] near the local waters, and at the same time, according to the inspiration given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, various local political axes have also sent people to the homes of merchants and fishermen who have suffered losses in the conflict, and have given them a little inspiration quite vaguely.

For example, didn't you sink a fishing boat in the conflict?

What the? It's just a wooden shell, and it's not very valuable?

It doesn't matter, you can say that you sink into a steel shell, and the displacement can be expanded by about ten times as needed.

There is also the one who wholeheartedly accepts concubines, travels back and forth between China and Chile, and specializes in the ore business.

How much copper have you lost, and how many thousand tons of your merchant ships are there?

You can say to me that you have lost 10,000 tons of copper ore, and your merchant ships are more than 10,000 tons.

What the?

10,000 tons of merchant ships can't pull 10,000 tons of copper ore? It doesn't matter, anyway, in the end, I will definitely compensate you!

Under the close guidance of political officials in various places, many people also drew inferences from others.

For example, how to change a fishing boat with a wooden hull into a steel hull? It was originally a steel hull, and I said it was made of all silver, so you can pay me a fishing boat with pure silver.

In the face of such a smart fisherman, the official who accepted it was also stunned, and then patted him on the shoulder.

"Boy, there's a future."

Then he reported it without saying anything.

But in the end, the above was not accepted, after all, you have to appeal for a decent reason, right?

Such a reason, not to mention the British and Americans and the Yue himself, even some idiots in the country will not believe it, and at this time, with the continuous progress of the [Breaking the Battle], the pressure on Fang Ze Qianji is also increasing, after all, the [Breaking the Battle] lasts for a day, and there will be one more factory and enterprise that has closed down.

If it goes on like this, the current political axe will be forced to death Then, after a period of time, in the face of the cruel reality, Fang Ze Qianji finally agreed to most of the conditions proposed by Gu Weijun, but he still insisted on the issue of compensation. Because of the current book, there is not enough financial resources to pay these compensations, but these are not a problem for Gu Weijun, now Gu Weijun has a lot of time, or rather, it is quite a lot, anyway, it is not him who is in a hurry now, is he?

"It's really nice to be a diplomat of a powerful country."

Sitting in his position, looking at Fang Ze Qianji, whose face had been ugly since the beginning of the negotiation, Gu Weijun said in his heart.

However, looking at Fang Ze Qianji's appearance, I don't know why, Gu Weijun felt a little sorry for him.

Perhaps, this is the tragedy of the rabbit and the fox, after all, Gu Weijun is also a diplomat.

Moreover, in the past, Gu Weijun was also a diplomat of a weak country.

There are friends in ―――――――――― County, and some exaggerated say that it is a figure who has influenced the history of this book.

There are friends in Yama County.,Young name Tatsunosuke、Crazy Suke,The owner of Tsubaki Mountain Villa.。 Born as a low-ranking samurai in the Choshu domain (present-day Yamaguchi Prefecture). He served as Prime Minister (Prime Minister), Army General, Field Marshal, and Senator in the Cabinet. He has a huge influence in the army and the political axe, and is known as the father of the army, which opened the habit of the soldiers of the Choshu domain to control the army. It is said that Yamaguchi, relying on his own power, once interfered in the marriage of Prince Hirohito (later Emperor Showa), and it was called a major event in the palace.

After Ito's death in 1909, he became the most powerful senator in the country, and had an important influence on the change of cabinet and major domestic and foreign affairs.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Youpeng in Shan County the most powerful patriarch in this book, and of course, this old man is also a very unpopular guy. Youpeng in Shanxian is a stern, gloomy, and tyrannical fellow, who has made great contributions to the military development of the country, has a prominent position, and leans towards the government and the opposition, but he is not likable (there are many people in the country who do not want to see him). He single-handedly built the modern "Imperial Army" of the Imperial Army, set a precedent for the military department to interfere in politics, and directly participated in the planning and command of the war against the Manchu Dynasty and Tsarist Russia in China and won the victory. He played an important role in the rapid rise of Yuben to become a military power in the world, and also made Yuben run all the way on the road of militarism, never looking back until he was destroyed.

At least before the outbreak of World War II, Youpeng in Shan County still made a great contribution to Yuben.

But in the same way, Shan County Youpeng is also equivalent to laying the groundwork for the failure of Yuben, after all, the most domineering army was created by him and laid the foundation.

After taking the car into the mansion of Aritomo in Yama Prefecture, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang spent almost a whole day.

It wasn't until a full day later that the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang walked out of the mansion of Youpeng in Yama County.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency"

After accompanying Xiyuan Temple Gongwang out of the mansion of Youpeng in Shanxian County, the descendants of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang said respectfully.

However, in the face of Yuan Jing's congratulations, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang seemed a little dazed.

Looking at the expression of the prince of Xiyuan Temple at this time, Yuan Jing somewhat understood, after all, what he encountered in the mansion of Youpeng in Shan County was really beyond the expectations of ordinary people.

"But anyway, it's always a good thing."

Thinking so, Yuan Jing walked up to Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, opened the door of a car in front of him, and then accompanied Xiyuan Temple Gongwang into the car.

As for the surroundings, the bodyguards hired by the Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple also hurriedly swarmed up vigilantly.

You know, since the defeat of the Sakhalin conflict, Saionji Gongwang has suffered many assassinations, of course, those are just some wild samurai, one by one holding a katana actually want to kill Saionji, and I don't want to think about how many bodyguards he has around him.

Although, in the history of this period, it seems that there are many prime ministers who have been assassinated?

For example, the person who is sitting next to Saionji Temple is called Hara Kei.

Speaking of this Yuan Jing, he is not a simple person.

Yuan Jing, known as Yishan, was a politician and the 19th prime minister of Yuben (September 29, 1918 - November 4, 1921). Born in Hongiya Village, Iwate Prefecture (now Morioka City, Iwate Prefecture). He has served as Prime Minister, Interior Minister, and Prime Minister. Breaking the politics of the Sacho domain, he became the first prime minister of the commoner and organized the first political party cabinet of the company, but he was assassinated while in office.

Born on February 9, 1856, Kenjiro Hara was the grandson of Naoji Hara, a retainer of a feudal clan in the southern part of Hongiya Village outside Morioka Castle, and his father's name was Naoji Hara. Kenjiro lost his father at the age of 10 and entered the Bun Institute of the Domain School at the age of 12 to study for three years. In 1871, at the age of sixteen, Kenjiro went to Tokyo to study English at the Kyonin Juku. After the abolition of the feudal domain, his family was poor, and while working as a scholar for his fellow townsman's predecessor Ehata Wulou, he studied hard, and then transferred to the family school of Keizuo Linxiang, learned French, and received Catholic baptism.

In 1875, when Kenjiro was 20 years old, he went to Tokyo again, first studied English and French at the Tokyo Trinomine Society, and then was admitted to the Law School of the Ministry of Justice in 1876.

In the spring of the same year, Hara Kei was recruited as a political reporter for the Post Newspaper Shimbun, and also served as an editorial writer for the Yamanashi Prefecture Gorge Shimbun, at which time he wrote 37 essays under the pseudonym of Washiyama woodcutter, including "The Theory of the Change of the Political System", "The Theory of King Qin", and "The Theory of Lucia's National Situation", which demonstrated the difference between the national system and the political system, and also serialized the "Chronicles of Travels in the Sea" for half a year. The paper published in the Post Newspaper News can be said to be a mental microcosm of his entire career.

In January 1882, he quit the "Baozhi News Agency", and in April, he joined the "Dadong Yue Bao" founded by the imperial party as the chief writer. At a time when the Freedom and Civil Rights Movement was on the rise, he feared that an incident would damage the Imperial Family, and he advocated that those who wanted to participate in the Freedom and Civil Rights Movement should uphold the authority of the Emperor. He embraced "constitutionalism," but declared that it was "not the hope of the people alone, but the place of the priesthood." ”。 Preaching the so-called "If you want to support the royal family, if you don't know that you support it with free and civil rights, you are misusing free and civil rights, what a choice!" He believed that the founding fathers of the Restoration were only good at revolution, but lacked the wisdom of construction, and that construction should appoint talented people who knew how to make laws.

In December 1884, during the "Jiashen Incident" in Seoul, Korea, Masamu Moto sent Foreign Minister Inoue Shin as a plenipotentiary envoy to Korea for negotiations. Hara Kei accompanied him as a special correspondent of the Daito Shobao newspaper, and was deeply appreciated by Inoue Shinyuki, who appointed him secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, enabling him to make a name for himself in the political circles. Since then, he has embarked on the political ladder from a commoner to a prime minister.

In 1883, the Sino-French War broke out. Yuan Jing was sent to China as consul in Tianjin. In July 1885, when Wasuka was appointed Minister to France, he was appointed First Secretary and went to Paris to act as Minister on diplomatic duty. During his stay in France, Hara Kei had a close relationship with the Minister to Austria, Saionji Gongwang, and then got acquainted with Mutsu Munemitsu, Takahashi Sekiyo and others. In 1889, when Inoue Shin was the Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, he returned to Japan and became secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. In May 1890, Mutsu Munemitsu, Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, returned to Japan to serve as Minister of Agriculture and Commerce in the Cabinet of Aritomo of Yama Prefecture, and Yuan Jing served as counselor and secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. During the second Ito Hirobumi Cabinet, Takashi Hara served as Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Commerce, and was later promoted to Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, and participated in the planning of the fundamental policy of ruling Taiwan. In 1896, after the formation of the second Matsukata Righteous Cabinet, he voluntarily requested to be transferred to the post of Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Korea, and nine months later, he returned to Japan and resigned, ending his fifteen-year life as an official.

In September 1897, he was hired by the Osaka "Ilai Shimbun" as editor, general affairs and president. He used newspapers as a weapon to attack the Constitutional Cabinet. In June 1900, he accepted the invitation of Hirobumi Ito to serve as the secretary general of the Seiyoukai, which became his later promotion as the successor of Hirobumi Ito and the public prestige of Saionji. In December of the same year, the fourth Ito Cabinet was formed, and after the dereliction of duty of a city council member in Tokyo, Hara Kei took over as Minister of Posts and Telecommunications. He resigned in June of the following year, and in November, he became the general manager of Kitahama Bank.

The establishment of the Hara Kei Cabinet in September 1918 was an epoch-making event in the political history of the country. At that time, the right to vote was limited by the amount of taxes paid, but this was the first time that a political party leader with a seat in the House of Representatives, composed of national representatives, formed a government and served as the person with the highest responsibility for political affairs. The assumption of prime minister of the Masatokai led by Takashi Hara, which was the largest party in the House of Representatives at the time, marked the realization of a political party cabinet system in which a majority of the people supported the government, and the so-called party cabinet was born. If only in terms of the political party cabinet, Shigenobu Okuma, which was established in 1898 before the Hara Kei cabinet? The Itagaki Cabinet (so-called "Kuma Cabinet") was also based on the support of the Constitutional Council, but due to internal differences of opinion, it failed to achieve results and collapsed in just four months. In addition, although Prime Minister Shigenobu Okuma is the leader of the constitutional party, he is not a member of the House of Representatives, and he has a knighthood, so the Hara Kei cabinet is the first real party cabinet in the political history of this country.

The Fourth Ito Cabinet, which was established in October 1900, can also be called a party cabinet in terms of the fact that party members serve as cabinet members. All the members of the Cabinet at that time, except for the three ministers of the Army, the Navy, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, were members of the Politics Friendship Association, and Ito was the president of the Politics Friendship Association. But Ito, like Okuma, is a lord with a knighthood, not a member of the House of Representatives like Hara. Hara was the first prime minister to have a seat in the House of Representatives. The prime minister is nominally appointed by decree of the emperor, but it is important for the prime minister, who is the head of the political axe, to appear in the parliament based on the people. For the first time in history, the political axe that has been passed down from the people has been replaced by a political axe that is built on the foundation of the people. The significance of Hara's appointment as prime minister is not simply the realization of a political party cabinet, but it should also be noted that Hara's cabinet has a systematic policy concept for domestic and foreign policy, and it is implemented accordingly. The basic characteristic of running a political power under party politics is to put forward policy proposals and win the support of the people.

From this point of view, Hara actively recruited talented people from within the official and financial circles to join the Seikakukai in order to improve its ability to formulate policies and to achieve qualitative development of the Seiyukai. In the past, under the banner of the Liberal and Civil Rights Movement, most of the political parties were bold and oratory, and they lacked the policy-making ability and excellent human resources in economic management necessary for modern political parties. For Hara, who aims to replace feudal politics with party politics, the top priority is to cultivate political parties and human resources who can take on national policies. It was against this backdrop that the "Four Major Policy Guidelines" proposed by the Hara Cabinet were formulated by the Seisai Association.

Why was Hara's political party cabinet able to replace the feudal bureaucracy, which had been in charge of the country since the Meiji Restoration? One of the backgrounds is that after the First World War, there was a general trend of the times in which the people demanded participation in political and social life by the people on the rise. Terauchi Cabinet was criticized for his maneuvering and sending troops to Siberia, and a desperate Terauchi resigned as prime minister on the grounds of ill health, entrusting all the issues of choosing a successor prime minister to Aritomo Yamaguchi, known as the "maker of prime ministers." Yama County elected one of the elders, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, as prime minister, but Saiyuan Temple said that he was stubborn and persuaded Shan County to recommend Yuan Jing as prime minister. Hara immediately began to approach Aritomo Yamagu, who in fact held the power to appoint the prime minister, to exchange views on the political situation at the time.

Although Yamaguchi supported the Terauchi Cabinet, he adopted a case-by-case attitude and took a cooperative stance toward the No. 1 Party and Political Friendship Association on many issues. Hara firmly believed that the end of the bureaucratic cabinet of the feudal lords had come to an end, and the time had come for the cabinet of political parties to replace it. On the surface, Hara Kei approached Yama Prefecture to please him, but in fact Hara Kei was making careful preparations for the transfer of power.

Of course, such a person, in the book full of beast surnames, is obviously very easy to blame.

Therefore, on November 4, 1921, when Hara Kei was still in office, he was assassinated.

Then Hara Kei, the successor of Hirobumi Ito and Saionji Koto, also died―――――――――― after getting into the car, Saionji Kobo was still pondering.

Because of this, it is because when he was just in the mansion of Yama County Youpeng, when Xiyuan Temple had already been prepared to be stoned by Yama County Youpeng, Yama County Youpeng actually proposed that he was willing to bear the pressure for Xiyuan Temple Gongwang so that Xiyuan Temple Gongwang could continue to serve as the prime minister of the cabinet.

You must know that in the past, although the power of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang could not be compared with Shan County Youpeng (the second Xiyuan Temple cabinet, it was Shan County Youpeng who collapsed), but it was also the biggest political enemy of Shan County Youpeng, and now Shan County Youpeng not only did not fall into the ground, but actually turned to support himself?

Although the public hope of Xiyuan Temple is old enough, it is obvious that he still can't accept this change of Youpeng in Shanxian County.

However, obviously, Shan County Youpeng didn't want to say more about the reason, so after saying the above words, he just talked to Xiyuan Temple Gongwang about the current situation, and sent Xiyuan Temple Gongwang away.

After the departure of Gongwang of Xiyuan Temple, there were also many intermediate figures from the Youpeng family of Shan County who came to the front of Youpeng of Shan County to express their doubts.

However, at this time, Youpeng in Shanxian County only said lightly.

"After you have friends in Shanxian County, is there anyone who has the ability to lead Yuben out of the predicament? You guys? Or me? ”

This is the reason why there are friends in Shanxian County, although in many countries, the party struggle is always greater than the national fortune, but now there are friends in Shanxian County are not far from the time of death, and many things can be seen more or less, especially in the national fortune of the book.

If there are one or two people in the hands of Youpeng in Shanxian to replace Xiyuan Temple, I am afraid that Youpeng in Shanxian will not choose to continue to support Xiyuan Temple, even if it is at a huge political risk.

It's a pity that "Katsura Taro has left me, and Da Yan has completely collapsed because of the defeat of the Shandong Campaign, and now I have no one to use"

Katsura Taro, the closest person to Yama Prefecture Aritomo, in the past, because he alternated the position of prime minister with Saionji Gongwang, that era was called the "Katsura Period", but unfortunately, in 1913, Katsura Taro died like other reformers because of his age.

After the death of Katsura Taro, Yama Prefecture Youtomo originally pinned his hopes on Oya Shigenobu, but Oya Shigenobu never turned over because of the defeat.

Then there was also Masaki Terauchi, who in fact also served as Prime Minister.

However, perhaps because of the defeat in Shandong, Terauchi Masatsuki, who was originally in good health, fell seriously ill shortly after returning to Japan, and although he was treated for a long time, he finally passed away in early 1918, that is, at the beginning of this year.

(Historically, Masaki Terauchi died in 1919.) Of the three candidates in his hand, after two died and one could not be turned over, in the face of the huge threat from China, Youpeng in Shanxian County could only pin everything on the body of Xiyuan Temple Gongwang.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no other candidates for friends in Shanxian County, at least in this period, there are still many capable people.

For example, the original Jing just now, it's a pity that Yuan Jing and Xiyuan Temple Gongwang are of the same faction, and they are similar in concept, and they are not as good as Xiyuan Temple Gongwang in terms of ability, so it is better to support Xiyuan Temple Gongwang if he comes up.

Others, such as Yuzaburo Kato, who later served as Prime Minister, were too shallow in terms of qualifications, although they had the ability at this time.

It is so shallow that it simply cannot lead the country to the Chinese threat.

And Youpeng in Shan County can already feel that his current self seems to have no more years to live well, "So everything now, I can only count on Xiyuan Temple, I just hope that this guy can die a few years earlier than me, so that I can let my country persist for a while longer, and persist until a new generation of characters grows up."

When he said this, Shan Shan Youpeng closed his eyes, and the others fell silent.

I have to say that the choice of Youpeng in Shan County is still very correct.

Because in history, Yama County Youpeng died in 1922, and what about Xiyuan Temple Gongwang? He died in 1940, in other words, the current Saionji Gongwang can fight for at least another twenty years.

However, 1940, that is, 22 years later, was also the period when militarism was at its strongest.

I only hope that the Xiyuan Temple Gongwang, who shoulders the heavy responsibility of having friends in the county county, can change this period, otherwise, it will only give Yan Guang one more period to use.

―――――――――― just when Yamaprefecture Youpeng finally rested, some Chinese were gathering on a street in Tokyo.

"Kuomintang Headquarters"

The building where these Chinese gathered is the headquarters of the Kuomintang in Yueben today.

It's just that compared with the Kuomintang in the past, the Kuomintang in this matter has become much more deserted than relatively speaking.

This is not without reason, because in the past, many Chinese have always believed that Sanming Cooking Righteousness can save China, and only people like Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing can lead China. Therefore, even after the Kuomintang withdrew from the mainland, there were still a large number of followers of Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing.

It is only after the Shandong Campaign, the Caucasus Campaign, and the Sakhalin Conflict that bloody facts have proved that there is not necessarily only one Sanming Cookyi who can save China, and there may not be only one Sun Yat-sen who can lead China.

If it weren't for the fact that there were more and more Kuomintang officials and parliamentarians on the mainland, I am afraid that the situation here would be even more deserted, but this is also a matter of no choice, after all, compared with the Kuomintang, the current Kuomintang Socialist Party has achieved more brilliant results.

In addition, in the past period of time, the Military Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have arrested so many Kuomintang Han annihilations in China, which has also made many people avoid the Kuomintang. Almost all of those who are still in the Kuomintang are the real descendants of the Kuomintang, and now they are also discussing the recent events on the mainland in the headquarters.

In the eyes of many people, although the current National Socialist Party is extremely powerful, there is a problem, that is, there are too many enemies.

And these are not good for the existing China.

Because it is quite possible that China will be under a full-scale siege by other countries" and that this situation will most likely occur after the defeat of Soviet Russia"

At the meeting, Sun Yat-sen said so

(To be continued)
