The first half of the Republic of China seemed to be a gamble in which the great powers were responsible for setting the rules, supervising the order, and deciding the winners and losers. China's various powers must gamble under the rules set by the great powers and under their supervision, and the final win or loss is often determined by the support of the bosses behind the scenes, rather than their own strength.

The Kuomintang and Sun Yat-sen have always been among the players. According to the rules of the game, it was time for the Kuomintang to take the role of a bag of anger and be forced to make all kinds of concessions by the powers. At the same time, the great powers will also restrain the power of the Kuomintang by supporting the warlord forces under the Kuomintang banner, so that they will never be able to do without the baton of the great powers, until they feel that this kind of game is too slow to make money and go directly to robbery. However, the current situation is clearly that the Kuomintang is going to cheat.

After succumbing to Lo's blackmail, U.S. Minister Schulman immediately invited Hong Kong Governor Stubbs and French Consul Hugo to the U.S. Legation to discuss the issue of revising the rules of the Chinese gambling game.

Schulman first explained the attitude of the American political axe to his British and French friends, saying: "The American political axe believes that it is imperative to contain GCISM in China, and in order to achieve this goal, we need a truly powerful Chinese political axe, and it is obvious that the Chinese national political axe is such a political axe." As a result, the U.S. political axe decided to support some of the demands of the Chinese national axe, including the establishment of a customs territory in southern China under the full control of the national axe, the return of sovereignty over the Yangtze River to the national axe, and the transfer of U.S. rights and interests in the Shanghai public concession to the national axe. In addition, the US government hopes that the United States, Britain, and France can reach an agreement on this issue and take unified action. ”

The United States in this era is like this, neither beating people all over the world nor showing real strength to support a certain reactionary, but it is not particularly nostalgic for things that do not belong to them, and it will not exchange the lives of American young people for it. So after being intimidated by Luo Yaoguo and the Kuomintang's irresponsible remarks, the United States casually gave in.

"Well, we in France can also accept some of these conditions. However, we still need to keep the French concession in Shanghai, and we can return the other concessions to China. "France in the twenties of the twentieth century was also a very motivating imperialist power, and now in France it is the Left Alliance that is in power, and the prime minister is the president of the Radical Socialist Party, Helioux. Listening to these names, you know that France will not send a real French soldier to China now.

What about the UK? The British Empire's minister Ma Ke insisted on armed intervention in last year's Lincheng train robbery, and specially summoned thousands of red-headed Ah San from India to prepare for an armed takeover of China's railways and army. But now that the red flag has been half raised, the British Empire has wisely chosen to back down. Due to the irresponsible behavior of the Kuomintang, the revolutionaries in India are now obviously encouraged, and Gandhi and Nehru are jumping up and down all day long to make a fuss, and by the way, there is also GCD, which is also very active in India now, and is waiting for the victory of the Chinese revolution to follow up immediately.

In this context, Sir Stubbs also received instructions from Prime Minister MacDonald to make maintaining the stability of the British Empire's colonies a top priority. London's directives had already tied Stubb's hands and feet, and the governor sighed helplessly and said, "Now that these hooligans are going to succeed, how can this country be all hooligans?" Where did all their gentlemen go? The British Empire had to keep the concessions of Shanghai and Hong Kong, and the Yangtze River could serve as China's inland waterway, but the Kuomintang had to ensure that shipping along the Yangtze River was not threatened by bandits and warlords. ”

This result has long been expected by Schulman, but now there is another great power that may not be so easy to speak, so it is necessary to unify the pace of the United States, Britain, and France. Schulman proposed: "Then our conditions are: first, to support the Chinese Nationalist Axe in establishing a customs territory in the area under his rule, and to be free to determine the rate of tariff rates." 2. Conditional support for the listing of the Yangtze River as China's inland water, on the condition that the Nationalist Axe must ensure that the Yangtze River shipping is not threatened by bandits and warlords. 3. Return part of the concessions, but excluding the British and French concessions in Hong Kong and Shanghai. ”

"But will our friends accept this plan?" Sir Stubbs shook his head. "This plan has little impact on our three countries, and now China is the main market for industrial products, and if we lose half of China's market, it is difficult for me to imagine how hard the economy will suffer."

Schulman waved his hand and said: "Things cannot be seen in this way, if they do not accept this plan, the Kuomintang will fall to GC doctrine, and then the whole Chinese market will be lost, as well as their special rights and interests in Manchuria, so now this plan is to ensure the control of the North China market and the special rights and interests of North China." And now that the revolutionary is terminally ill, maybe it won't be long before the Kuomintang will fall apart, and then won't the market return to his own hands? ”

Situ Batto nodded approvingly. The British delegates had already made contact with Xia Chao, the chairman of Zhejiang, who was still in control of a small part of the militia and security groups, and the British were prepared to support him in what Sun Yat-sen appeared to control of Zhejiang Province in order to contain the power of the Nationalist Axe. This is also the reason why Britain chose to concede, as long as Sun Yat-sen dies, everything will return to square one. So what's the point of making some concessions now?

Sun Yat-sen's health has always been the top secret of the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang, and only a few people in the Presidium and the Military Commission can grasp it. Among them is Wang Jingwei, who is a pro-Japanese faction, uh, Wang is both a leftist and a pro-Japanese faction, and this Soviet Union and Yueben are mortal enemies, and I don't know how he coordinated.

Inu Yangyi is known as a ghost fox, and when he hears the name, he knows that he is a cunning and cunning worker. But I don't like this kind of person very much, they like to be brutal!

The old fox dog Yangyi did not leave Guangzhou after visiting Sun Yat-sen, and he also wanted to know the exact information about Sun Yat-sen's health. This is an important reference basis for formulating the next step of China's policy. The channels for obtaining Mr. Zhongshan's health were Wang Jingwei and a famous doctor from the Kuomintang Central Army Hospital.

Soon after visiting Sun Yat-sen, Inu Yangyi went to meet Wang Jingwei, a leftist and pro-Japanese faction in the Kuomintang, and by the way, he was concerned about Mr. Zhongshan's condition.

The old fox asked with a sincere smile: "Wang Jun, we say that the medical level of this empire is the best in the world, and we hope to provide Mr. Zhongshan with the best doctors and medical services. ”

Wang Jingwei replied gratefully: "Thank you very much for your kindness, although we have now hired the best medical team in the Soviet Union to closely monitor the prime minister's physical condition 24 hours a day. But if there is a need, we hope that our friends can lend a hand. "24-hour intensive care? Uh, it looks serious! Although Wang Jingwei felt that Sun Yat-sen's health condition looked good from the outside, cancer was growing in it, and since the Soviet experts were so nervous, it was obviously very serious.

Thinking of this, Wang Jingwei's miserable white face was even more bloodless. Now he is not as good as another time and space, because he has always pretended to be a leftist, so he is alienated by the Kuomintang rightists. At present, the guns of the Kuomintang are mainly in the hands of Xu Chongzhi, Chiang Kai-shek, Liang Hongkai, Bai Chongxi, Luo Yaoguo, and others, except for Luo Yaoguo, everyone else is a hardcore rightist, and Luo Yaoguo is very repulsive to Wang Jingwei, and he refuses to even say a word. If this continues, I am afraid that this successor will not be able to be counted on.

Seeing Wang Jingwei's dead face, the old fox dog Yangyi could guess a rough idea. Well, it seems that Sun Yat-sen is dying! This should not be wrong, yesterday Kenji Dohihara heard the news that Sun Yat-sen's cancer had spread through a famous doctor in the Guangzhou Army Hospital! And Doihara also overheard the conversation between the head nurse of Russia and the director of the army hospital, although the Russian beauty with a big wave discussed Mr. Nakayama's condition with the director of the army hospital in German, but how could this stump a highly intelligent agent like Kenji Dohihara? It seems that in the negotiations with the Kuomintang, they can first make concessions, break up their alliance with the Soviet Union, wait until Sun Yat-sen dies, and then split the Kuomintang by supporting the pro-Yue faction within the Kuomintang, and then restore all the privileges of the Kuomintang!

On December 3, 1924, representatives of the Kuomintang headed by Hu Hanmin, chairman of the National Political Axe, Chiang Kai-shek, chairman of the Military Commission, and secret envoys of Britain, the United States, France, and the Chinese held a secret meeting at the residence of the National Political Axe in Guangzhou to discuss the revision of the rules of the game of this gambling game in China.

After three days of repeated consultations and bargaining, on 6 December, the Kuomintang and the four imperialist countries finally reached the "Secret Treaty of Guangzhou," which humiliated the country and betrayed the revolution.
