Chapter 225: Guerrillas
Zhu Erdian put on a tough attitude, and the other parties still had to give face, especially Yang Du and Duan Qirui, who didn't dare not listen, at this time, the brand of the British Empire was golden, and at this time Qian Moyin spoke.
"Mr. Minister, Duan Gong, Yang Gong is supposed to say that there is no part for me to speak here, but since I represent the board of directors of Hanyang Iron Works, I will express our meaning first, I think you should not over-interpret this matter, Hanyang Iron Works is willing to provide pig iron and iron ore, we are the pursuit of efficiency, the problem is that the workers are on strike, it is difficult to maintain, I think you might as well come up with a charter to satisfy the workers, only they are willing to resume work, we have nothing to say, this is just a simple economic dispute, It's not that complicated! ”
Hearing Qian Moyin's words, he said Zhiyi, Zhu Erdian, including Yang Du and Duan Qirui, were a little dissatisfied, can this be a simple economic dispute, which involves the problem of Shandong, and the Wuhan tragedy is implicated in it, the [***] team is confronting the gunboat, if this is still an economic problem, it will be a ghost.
Yang Du's brain turned quickly, and Yang Du heard a different flavor from Qian Moyin's words, so that the workers were satisfied, and then resumed work, Yang Du said quietly: "Mr. Qian's words are very reasonable, then let's discuss how to let the workers return to work!" ”
"There is nothing to negotiate, the workers work is their basic obligation, in the Yueben workers are working overtime, they know that they carry the heavy responsibility of the prosperity of the Great Empire, and you Chinese do not understand this, I think this is the responsibility of your political axe, I strongly recommend that Duan Qirui Governor can let the workers return to work, and at the same time withdraw Xia Douyin's troops and stop threatening the actions of the Great Empire!"
Said Zhiyi's attitude was very arrogant, Lao Duan scolded in his heart when he heard it, if he agreed to this condition, it would be no different from a traitor, and now Sichuan obviously wants to get itself out of the incident, they insist that this is an ordinary economic dispute, and they just want to push the central political axe to the forefront.
Duan Qirui looked at Yang Du again, and Yang Du continued: "Mr. Minister, the reason why the workers are striking is because you wantonly slaughter our ordinary people in Shandong, and treat China's dignity as nothing, which will cause protests from the people of the whole country, and it is not surprising that the workers of the Hanyang Iron Works are on strike. ”
"Nonsense, Dayu is a civilized country, absolutely will not wantonly massacre the people, I can guarantee that this kind of thing is done by the Germans, they are the culprits, we have added to the attack on Qingdao, and we have also captured a group of Chinese, they are holding German weapons, wearing German military uniforms, fighting for Germany, I doubt that this part of the people is the army secretly sent by the Chinese political axe, you are supporting Germany, you will definitely be punished by the Entente!"
It is true that the army has captured some mercenaries, and after interrogation, he has learned that many bandits have worked as laborers in Sichuan, Hubei and other places, and now he has become a lot more sober, and these troops that suddenly appeared are not hired by Germany, or sent to Qingdao by some Chinese politicians, and then contacted the matter of the Hanyang Iron Works, and he only thinks that this is premeditated, and the purpose is to target him.
"Mr. Minister, I have served as the Minister of the Army, I resolutely oppose your slander of the Chinese [***] team, we have absolutely not sent troops to Qingdao, we are strictly neutral, in addition, I heard that the side did not say that Qingdao will be defeated and exchanged for China, we can not Qingdao for the time being, please say that the side immediately withdraw the troops, do not wantonly create crimes!"
"Mr. Duan, although your assurance makes people can't help but believe it, but we are more willing to believe the facts, and soon we will get real evidence, those soldiers were sent by you China, you obstructed the destruction of the German army, and then threatened the supply of iron ore, we think that China has actually fallen to the side of the Allies, and is challenging the dignity of the Great Prince, I ask you to immediately stop your wrong actions."
The quarrel between the two sides is getting more and more lively, and the whole problem is becoming more and more complicated, Duan Qirui and Yang Du feel extra passive, originally the matter of Hanyang Iron Works was that Sichuan was making trouble behind the scenes, but now they were going to be pushed to the forefront, and Yang Du couldn't help thinking about it, saying that he was very accurate that the [***] team joined the battlefield in Shandong, it seems that things are not fake, but who has such courage and such a big force? Yang Du peeked at Qian Moyin, who was there with the old god, and Yang Du had a guess in his heart, this person in Sichuan was really not the lord of settlement.
However, now Yang Du and Duan Qirui can't agree to Yueben's conditions, and they are even more unwilling to bear the notoriety of traitors, so the negotiations are at an impasse, at this moment, Qian Moyin said to a few people: "Minister Zhiyi, Minister Zhu Erdian, Yang Duan Ergong, now things are getting more and more complicated, it is already a dispute between your political axes, I have no ability to participate in a small company, I better leave first, as long as you discuss the results and appease the workers, Hanyang Iron Works will immediately restore the original supply, But don't delay too long, now the production of the factory has become more and more unsustainable, workers are on strike in large numbers, I am afraid that in a few days the current supply will be difficult to guarantee! ”
Qian Moyin said goodbye directly, just in the afternoon, the iron ore supplied to Yuben was reduced to the original forty percent, there is no doubt that the persecution of Yueben has intensified a lot, Qiao Yu has ordered the workers of the Hanyang Iron Works to continue to move to Sichuan, so that this factory will become an empty factory completely.
"Mr. Huizi, it is obvious that Qiao Yu is behind the scenes, but how should we deal with it, not only to maintain the majesty of the central government, but also to give an explanation to Britain and the Ben!"
After the negotiations broke up unhappily, Duan Qirui talked with Yang Du.
Yang Du also shook his head for a while: "Duan Gong, this thing is really not easy to do, the people have been completely angered by the atrocities of Yueben, and now the scale of the demonstrations is getting bigger and bigger, we must not be too partial to Yuben, but now that Yuben has sent troops in Shandong, I think Qingdao will be captured soon, if these Yueben soldiers turn their guns, I'm afraid Yanjing will not be safe!" ”
Hearing Yang Du say this, Duan Qirui felt a greater crisis, saying that the army was hoarded in Shandong, and it might be too far to deal with Sichuan, but it was not far to deal with Beiyang at all, if he turned the muzzle, it would be too bad at that time.
Just when Yang Du was anxious, the battle in Shandong also came to the most critical place, Fushan was finally captured, all the outer positions of Qingdao fell, and the German governor Meldwack was also very worried, after more than a month of fierce fighting, the German side has eliminated more than 4,000 soldiers, which is also a great encouragement to Germany, but most of these soldiers were killed by mercenaries.
By now, the mercenaries have suffered heavy losses, and there are many mercenaries who have broken through and withdrawn because the time for hire has come, the Germans have tried to persuade these mercenaries to let them stay in Qingdao to continue fighting, even if they are captured by the book, they can still get the treatment of prisoners of war, but these mercenaries do not listen to the Germans at all, there has never been such a thing as preferential treatment of prisoners of war on the eastern battlefield, both sides are enemies of life and death, where will there be any scruples, and what kind of virtue I have, How could these mercenaries not be clear.
Therefore, even if they had to bear a lot of sacrifices, everyone still tried their best to break out, saying that their encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, and the resistance of the Germans was becoming more and more fierce, and Germany had the ammunition supported by Qiao Yu, and the artillery fire was several times more fierce, which was like a storm.
And because of the eagerness to capture Qingdao, the charge was more violent, and a thousand people died in one day, and the death of the book at this time has exceeded 5,000, plus other attrition, the damage of the book is more than twice that of history, but Qingdao is still safe and sound.
Kamio Mitsutomi had received a reproach from Tokyo, asking him to end the war quickly and occupy Qingdao as soon as possible, so Kamio Mitsutomi had no choice but to mobilize his troops to the maximum extent and deal a greater blow to Germany, and he would transfer all the 24th Brigade of Yamada Yoshisui in Jinan to strengthen the offensive against Qingdao.
Yamada Yoshimui, like all the people of this era, was mostly empty-eyed, especially after winning the Russian War, his fear of the Caucasian race was also alleviated a lot, and after receiving the order, Yamada Yoshisui personally led the army to aid Qingdao.
At this time, he didn't know that an army had targeted them, this was Wu Fenglou and others who had withdrawn from Qingdao, they originally wanted to be as familiar with the army as possible and train the team, but they did not participate in the most critical part of the Qingdao War, after all, Qingdao is a Jedi, if they can't break through quickly, they are afraid that they will be caught by Yueben, once they know the identity of their Sichuan officers, they are afraid that it will be a big trouble, so they have to break out of Qingdao, and after they broke through, they contacted the team of Chaojianglong, There are more than 1,000 people on both sides, and more than 300 of them are the best special forces, as well as many Sichuan officers, even those bandits are also experienced people, and everyone is naturally unwilling to return to Sichuan like this.
After everyone discussed, they decided to teach himself a bigger lesson, so they set their sights on Yamada Yosui's team.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the army is simply a bunch of livestock, they do all kinds of evil, dozens of villages have been destroyed by these beasts, thousands of Shandong people have been displaced, I think we must let Yue himself learn a lesson, pay tribute to those compatriots who died tragically!" The mixed river dragon looked very excited, waved his arms, and said loudly.
"It's completely okay to make me pay the price, but I'm afraid it's no longer possible for us to use the name of the German [***] team, and I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble if we use other names!"
"We were originally bandits, and now we still use the name of bandits, but we are bandits who kill Yu himself, military chief, what do you think?"
"That's a good idea, but you're not bandits anymore, so I think it's better to use the guerrillas!"
