Chapter 3: Goodbye Lilia

Katsura Taro's meeting with the emperor was actually just a formality, because the current emperor was already at his mercy, and now all he had to do was to arrange the affairs of dealing with the Protectors as much as possible.

After fooling the emperor, he began to infiltrate the military headquarters, and with the help of the Minister of War Yusaku Uehara, he quickly gained the support of the army, and they were still very crazy about fighting the Russians again. As for the navy, although they are very repulsive to Katsura Taro, they have to support Katsura Taro who has the emperor's express order, otherwise they will be suppressed by him in the name of the emperor.

With the emperor's permission, the cooperation with China was quickly completed and effectively implemented, and in order to cover up the eyes of the people, Japan continued to send three divisions into the Korean Peninsula with 300,000 troops stationed in China to threaten the interests of the Japanese Empire at the Liao River.

Ijiin Hikoyoshi, who had obtained the consent of the country, immediately contacted Tang Shaoyi to sign the agreement, and he did not expect that the country would agree so quickly, which made him smell a different smell from it.

Tang Shaoyi was also stunned when she saw the Japanese ambassador Hikoyoshi Ijiin, and she couldn't believe that Japan was so efficient.

"Shaochuan-kun, the empire has agreed with your country's opinion, and we also feel that East Asia should be East Asian. We will give you some support for your actions, and the Empire will carry out the bear hunt plan as you say. "There is one sentence that Ijiin Hikoyoshi has not finished saying is that Asia is the Asia of the Yamato nation.

"This is very good, if we cooperate, we will definitely be able to drive this bear out of East Asia, East Asia is East Asian. Your country has agreed, and we should carefully discuss the content of cooperation, otherwise there will be contradictions and disputes in the future. ”

The two talked for a long time and finally signed a secret treaty in the evening, which was the "Sino-Japanese Secret Treaty with Russia", which stipulated:

1. When the Chinese Empire was fighting against Russia in the recovery of Outer Mongolia, Japan was not allowed to use military means to intervene in the Northeast for any reason, and the Chinese Empire would not enter the Northeast during this time;

2. With regard to Sakhalin Island (Huatai Island) and Vladivostok area, whoever occupies it first will have jurisdiction over the area, and those who do not occupy it cannot attack the occupied;

3. Regardless of occupying the above-mentioned areas, we must treat the people of the other side well and not discriminate;

Fourth, Japan recognized Outer Mongolia and part of the land in Xinjiang ceded to Russia by the Manchus as the territory of the Chinese Empire, and the Chinese Empire recognized Korea as an independent country and no longer a vassal state of the Chinese Empire;

Five: When Japan was fighting against Russia, Wuchang provided a batch of arms and materials to the Chinese Empire, and at the appropriate time expressed solidarity with the Chinese Empire. The Taiwan issue will be put aside and negotiations will be held after the war;

Six:......

There are as many as ten secret agreements, Japan avoids the whole of Asia and only talks about East Asia and Russia, Tang Shaoyi didn't care when he saw this, according to the task given to him by the empire is to try his best to get Japan to sign an agreement on not entering the Northeast, and now that the task has exceeded the standard, he is very satisfied.

After Dang Qinyu got this secret agreement, he was very surprised how Japan could make a decision on this matter so quickly, and he couldn't figure it out, and immediately called someone from the intelligence department to send the latest Japanese intelligence.

After reading the information about Japan, Qin Yu was very worried, his appearance really did not only affect Huaxia, but also changed on the Japanese side. He still knew a little bit about the famous Japanese "Guiyuan Period" in his previous life, although he didn't remember it very clearly, but he still remembered the historical track of Katsura Taro's third cabinet formation in December last year.

Qin Yu couldn't imagine that his appearance would lead to the delay of Katsura Taro's third cabinet formation for so long, and now he already understood why Katsura Taro was so enthusiastic about this plan, this is a superb means to divert contradictions and stabilize himself.

The signing of the secret treaty did not make Qin Yu feel at ease and wary of Japan, and the Japanese's unreasonable fighting and betrayal made him unable to let go of that thought, so he would not transfer the 300,000 national defense troops stationed in Liaohe to fight Lao Maozi. In order to prevent the sneak attack of the Japanese, he also specially asked Zhang Zuolin to send a batch of arms at this time, if Zhang Zuolin did not have tank soldiers and tanks were easy to expose, he would have asked people to send some tanks to Zhang Zuolin to deal with the Japanese army.

At present, a large amount of domestic supplies are secretly transported to the border of Outer Mongolia, and even the Liaohe garrison has also transported a lot, which makes the people in the Ministry of Agriculture very worried, because the food is running out, and a large amount of grain has been given to those farmers in need during the anti-smoking campaign and the land reform movement.

According to the food logistics of the empire, which can now support half a million troops for less than three months, they hurriedly reported it to the prime minister.

Not only the Ministry of Agriculture has problems, but even the Weapons Bureau has a shortage of weapons, and one-third of the hundreds of thousands of troops who have just been conscripted do not have sufficient weapons, and some of them are still using backward weapons that were collected from the Beiyang Army before.

The manufacture of weapons could not keep up with the speed and consumption of the army expansion, and even though the Reich bought a lot of guns and weapons from Germany, the ones that were shipped by sea did not reach the Reich so quickly.

Now the textile mills of several major trading houses in the empire are constantly rushing to make cotton clothes, which is an order placed by the imperial military department, and the orders of more than one million make several major trading houses very excited. The battle with Lao Maozi is likely to last until winter, and it is very cold in winter, so it is necessary to prepare plenty of cotton clothes.

Several reports on logistics were handed over to Qin Yu by Chen Fu, and now Chen Fu's task is to manage the affairs of the empire, and as for military affairs, Qin Yu is now in full charge.

Qin Yu was stunned when he looked at the report of the logistics department, he didn't expect that the consumption of the previous two campaigns was so large, and there was simply a surplus of domestic grain for storage, and the current grain could only be provided for five months. Without storage to cope with natural disasters and maintain the basic survival of the people, it is easy to cause famine, which can lead to instability.

He has realized the importance of this, and it is more convenient to buy grain from the United States, but if he wants Russia and Japan not to know about the situation in China, he can only operate it through the Guò Jewish Committee, otherwise the United States will not be able to provide a large amount of food support to China under the pressure of Russia, Britain, France and other countries.

As for the weapons, which could be used by Germany to meet the needs of the army, in order to ensure stability, he still wanted to buy a large number of arms from the United States as a backup.

Qin Yu sent someone to Lilia from the Jewish Council to discuss these matters, fortunately, he cooperated with Lilia and them before, otherwise he really didn't know what to do now.

Lilia was still a little reluctant when she was assigned to the Chinese Empire, but as she slowly got in touch with the people of Beijing, she began to like this colorful empire. Positive and optimistic spirit, simple people, thriving cities, and hard work, this is an empire that is rising high, and she feels that she is witnessing the rise of an empire.

She spent all these days in Beijing constantly bringing young Jewish men from all over the world to the Chinese army for the army to arrange, and then bringing their men to the people of the Chinese Empire for testing and distribution, and the rest was to manage part of the committee's property in China from time to time.

Lilia, who had just come back from playing outside, took the letter from the Huaxia Empire as soon as she entered the door, and she opened it to see that it was the Huaxia Emperor who invited her to dinner at seven o'clock in the evening, which made her very surprised, and after the surprise, she knew that the Huaxia Emperor should have something important to talk to her.

After Lilia took a bath, she immediately dressed up and went out under the elaborate grooming of several servants, because it was already late, and she had to go early, and she dared to be late in the face of the invitation of the king of a country, which was a very strict question.

Lilia's car arrived in front of Zhongnanhai, she stepped out of the car, and the guards at the door immediately divided a few people to come around to check, these guards had seen her a few times, so they didn't embarrass her.

After the inspection, a car drove out of Zhongnanhai, and Lilia quickly got into the car, and the car slowly drove back. This car was sent by Qin Yu to pick up Lilia, and there will be a car to pick up the distinguished guests of the empire, and those who can enter Zhongnanhai as foreigners have not been available since the establishment of the empire, and only envoys from countries such as virtue and friendship to the empire are qualified to enter it.

The car soon arrived at the place where the emperor was temporarily staying, and after Lilia got out of the car, someone came to take her in, and if she was not led by someone here, she would soon be surrounded by the Praetorian Guard, except for the royal family, of course.

Since Lilia came a little early, the imperial chefs were still making food for the dinner, and Qin Yu was still working in the study.

The subordinate quickly passed the news of the arrival of the guests to Qin Yu through the Praetorian Guard, and Qin Yu heard the news of Lilia's arrival and looked at the big pendulum clock hanging on the wall It was only six o'clock, since he came early, let's get to the point before dinner.

Lilia entered Qin Yu's study by herself under the leadership of her subordinates, and the Praetorian Guards outside also closed the door with interest, leaving only Qin Yu and Lilia.

"Hello Great Majesty, I'm so glad to see you again!" Lilia bowed while greeting Qin Yu in Chinese.

Qin Yu was a little surprised when he heard Lilia speak Chinese, "Hello Lilia, I'm very happy to see you, you have learned Chinese well!" ”

"I've just started learning Chinese, I can only have some simple conversations, I like Chinese culture very much, and I've been learning Chinese things lately." Lilia now said in German.

"There are other purposes for inviting you over for dinner this time, so let's get to the point while there's still some time before dinner." Qin Yu also said in German.

Lilia nodded with an expression of understanding that I understood, and Qin Yu continued when he saw this: "I figured out that the Guò Committee secretly buys food and advanced arms in the United States or around the world, and does not let Japan and Russia find out, you should be able to do it, right?" ”

"It's very difficult, but we can also secretly use the 15th Plan as a cover, after all, this plan requires a lot of supplies, and we can use this to carry those food and munitions.

We Jews own a large number of farms and ranches all over the world, especially in the United States, and if Your Majesty wants it, I can get some concessions, which is that large-scale grain will attract the attention of the U.S. government, which is not a big deal. Is there going to be a war when His Majesty stores food and munitions? ”

Lilia felt that something was wrong when she heard that she was going to buy a lot of weapons and food, the current situation in Huaxia didn't need these things, and more importantly, it didn't need to be discovered by Japan and Russia, which made her feel that there was going to be a war, and she couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, that big guy has stretched his hand too far, we are going to take back the territory that belongs to the Empire, and war will break out soon. At present, Japan has agreed to hunt bears with us, but fortunately, I am worried that the Japanese will do it behind the scenes, so I bought more weapons and food in case of emergencies. Qin Yu didn't know why he said it suddenly, and he couldn't tell what was wrong with him.

Lilia said in surprise: "War with Russia? Can our fighters go to war? Rest assured that we will do our best to help Huaxia defeat the Russians, but remember to be kind to the Jews who have fled from Russia to your country. ”

Hearing that China was going to war with Russia, Lilia was a little excited, they hated Russia for mistreating the Jews, and according to the current situation, China and Japan would definitely be able to defeat Russia if they joined forces.

"Your warriors have just started training and can't enter the battlefield yet, but I can let them go and see the real war." Qin Yu shook his head and said.
