"As an organization aimed at bringing happiness and stability to the Chinese people, the National Army has always worked hard for this goal!" Chen Jingyun did not directly answer the question of Sir Fareis, the British Consul General in Shanghai, but turned to this: "However, it is well known that the reason why the war broke out in southern Jiangsu was entirely because the Beiyang [***] political axe did not hesitate to the will of the vast number of Chinese people and tried to impose their [***] rule, and this kind of thing is unacceptable to any Chinese in our national army." ”

"To end the war, the political axe of the North must cease the current [***] rule and return state power to the broad masses of the people. So from this point of view, the initiative to end the war does not lie with our national army, but with the political axe of the north! Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun seemed to chuckle and said, "If President Yuan is willing to give up the rule of Reading Cai tonight and declare his resignation, I think this war will end tomorrow!" ”

Chen Jingyun's words are equivalent to saying in vain, all the people present are old fritters, not those people who can be fooled casually outside, but how to say it, Chen Jingyun wants to say these scenes on occasions like this, they have to endure the vomiting feeling in their hearts and make a look of listening with relish, which is somewhat embarrassing for them.

Although Chen Jingyun said all nonsense, everyone did not show it, but instead showed the quality of a good career diplomat, and the American consul Dao Erqing nodded while listening.

Sir Fareis also listened to Chen Jingyun's words with a smile on his face, and then spoke: "I don't think President Yuan will agree to the general's suggestion!" Sir Fareth said this, and then his words changed: "Although the nations have expressed their neutrality in the civil war of your country, the war between the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army has already had a great adverse effect on the interests of the nations, and the merchants of our country and other countries have complained many times about this unsuitable war because of the inconvenience of the war in the circulation of goods!" ”

At this time, the French consul, Mr. Fellefour, also interjected: "Yes, this war has taken too many lives, and it should end as soon as possible!" ”

When the British and French consuls spoke, the German consul and the Russian consul next to him kept their mouths shut and did not speak, while the American consul on the side, Mr. Doll Qing, also smiled and did not speak, and they waited for Chen Jingyun to respond.

Chen Jingyun looked at these people present, he didn't have too many feelings in his heart, he had already expected what would happen before he came, and he also guessed that Britain and France and other parliaments had put forward some demands and accusations against him, and he had also made some analyses in advance.

At present, there are not many countries that are concerned about the situation in China, the first one is definitely called "Ben", then the United Kingdom, and now we have to add the United States, basically these three. The rest of Germany, France, and even Russia are all soy sauce players, and although they can say a few words, they can't influence the direction of China.

This involves the most naked interest relationship, said, "Ben and Britain have the deepest interests in China, Britain is mainly the Yangtze River and the commercial interests of the coastal provinces, for Britain, what they need most is a weak and stable China, it does not want China to be chaotic, does not want to break the balance in the Far East, the most direct consequence of this policy is that the British side chose to support Yuan Shikai under the suggestion of Zhu Erdian, trying to support Yuan Shikai to unify China, and use him to maintain a weak but unified China, So that he can continue to obtain economic benefits in China.

At present, China is an extremely important export market, especially primary industrial products such as imitations, and China is also the best target for Ben's actual expansion to the land, using North Korea as a springboard to directly take northeast China and then plot the entire Chinese mainland.

These issues of interest make it the country that is most concerned about China's affairs, and at the same time, it is also the only country capable of intervening militarily for geographical and other reasons. Previously, it was said that "this support for Chen Jingyun is the product of this policy, but Chen Jingyun's development speed is beyond his expectations", so after Chen Jingyun took control of northern Zhejiang, he has stopped aiding Chen Jingyun. The next thing is to wait and see what the outcome of the war in southern Jiangsu will be, and say, "What I thought was very simple, if Beiyang was defeated, he would help Beiyang, and if the national army was defeated, he would continue to support Chen Jingyun." Anyway, neither Chen Jingyun nor Beiyang can fall, and it is best to continue to fight until China is divided into several countries to meet their wishes.

Originally, the United States did not have much interest in China, but since it was linked up with Chen Jingyun, a large amount of American capital has entered Fujian and Zhejiang provinces in just two months, and Chen Jingyun has invested in the establishment of a large number of enterprises in the specialized economic development zones in Fuzhou and Hangzhou, trying to reduce production costs by building factories in China, and then use a large number of cheap products to compete with industrial products from other countries. However, this part of the light industry and other investments are not enough to affect the US policy towards the Far East, and what really makes the United States and Chen Jingyun cooperate is the naval cooperation plan between the two sides, and a Chinese navy that can contain the US Navy and reduce the huge pressure on the US Navy in the Pacific Ocean is the fundamental goal of the United States.

As for issues like the economy, it's just incidental. However, it is these accompanying economic prospects that have made the American conglomerates see countless dollar numbers shaking in front of their eyes, and Morgan has said in many private occasions: "If 30 million dollars is not enough to control a country with a population of 400 million, then 300 million dollars will be used." What we spend now can be exchanged for three billion dollars or more in the future! ”

No American consortium can give up the temptation to control a country with a population of 400 million, let alone a consumer market with a huge population of 400 million!

This huge market of 400 million people may not be visible for the time being, but at present, the naval cooperation plan and military assistance treaty signed between Chen Jingyun and the United States have been launched, and the Nationalist Army has used these two batches of loans to place a large number of orders in the United States, including industrial equipment, including army artillery, ammunition, and a plan to purchase ships. These purchases have already attracted the support of some of the military enterprises involved in it.

Benedict, the United Kingdom, and the United States are all countries with huge interests in China, so they are also the most concerned, but relatively speaking, France, Germany, and even Russia after the Russo-Russian War are no longer so important.

Although Russia still has huge interests in Northeast China, the contradictions with the East and the increasingly tense situation in Europe have made Russia's double-headed eagle look to the East and no longer pay so much attention to the East, and only when it really involves its own interests will it show its still sharp talons.

On the German side, in fact, Germany does not pay much attention to the situation in the Far East, or rather does not have enough energy to pay attention to it. Now Germany, known as the second most powerful country in the world, is competing with Britain for hegemony all over the world, and is engaged in a crazy arms ban with Britain, and the battleships are being built one after another. In contrast to Britain, Benedict, and the United States, Germany really had no real interests in the Far East, at best, rifles and artillery were easier to sell in China, and although it had managed to seize Qingdao as a colony in Shandong a few years ago, this Qingdao was purely a military fortress, and its greatest role was to provide a docking base for Germany's weak and poor Far East Fleet and to make their drainage system still ashamed of China a hundred years later.

And for Germany itself, in addition to satisfying the arrogant psychology of the Kaiser! The benefits are very limited!

In fact, since the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising in China last year, Germany was fine at the beginning, ready to help the Qing Dynasty suppress the revolution, and even prepared to send a large number of aid arms, but it didn't take long for the Qing Dynasty to collapse, but Yuan Shikai came out of nowhere to control the power of China in one fell swoop, Yuan Shikai took power and the British eyebrows, the Germans felt bored after a long time, and then they didn't bother to get involved in these things, anyway, no one listened to him when he shouted.

Don't look at Germany, which now claims to be the second most powerful country in the world, but it really has no influence in the Far East, if he dares to intervene militarily in the Chinese civil war now, there is no need for China to resist, and he says, 'I have to jump up first, and then shout that Asia is Asian, Asia and Germany go to war!'

Back then, for the sake of Korea and Northeast China, he said, "I dared to fight with Russia, but now I am also confident that I will fight Germany again for the sake of China!" In their eyes, China is theirs, and no one should want to get involved!

And then the rest of France, France's interests are mainly concentrated in Vietnam, at best on the Yunnan side, there is no interest in the Yangtze River and northern China, and although he is an ally with the British, he is also dissatisfied with the British monopoly of commercial interests along the Yangtze River, and he has heard Chen Jingyun advocate an open door and economic freedom. If China completely opens up the market, then it will also be beneficial to France, so France's war against the Nationalist Army and the Beiyang Army should not be seen, you fight yours, and we will talk about relevant interests after the war.

These interest disputes are complicated and chaotic, even if Chen Jingyun himself can't sort it out for a while. The purpose of his coming here today is not to persuade the great powers to support him, but to explain to them some of the propositions of the National Army, and it is necessary to let them know that the rise of the National Army will not threaten their interests, but on the contrary, the National Army will protect their interests. Although this sounds like a traitor's words, the reality is that if Chen Jingyun openly says today that the Nationalist Army wants to recover the concessions of various countries, and then refuses to recognize the various unequal treaties signed between the former Qing Dynasty and the foreign powers, or prevents merchants from various countries from entering the areas controlled by the Nationalist Army to conduct commercial activities.

Then these countries will definitely fall to Yuan Shikai's side, and at that time, Chen Jingyun will not be able to win against Yuan Shikai, who has been presided over by the major powers, even if the small universe explodes.

"The National Army spares no effort to protect the economic interests and personal safety of businessmen from all over the world, it was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future, in addition, the economic development zones of Fujian and Zhejiang, especially Fuzhou and Hangzhou, welcome businessmen from all countries to invest, and our National Army guarantees the safety of their assets, as well as the freedom of entry and exit of assets!" Chen Jingyun continued: "For all kinds of issues left over from history, these must be discussed by everyone to sit down and have a good time, and strive to satisfy both sides!" ”――
