Chapter 123: A Discussion of the Outer Mongolian Question

The complete success of the cooperation with Chile made Tang Shaoyi and others very excited, as long as they got the diplomatic embassy in Chile, they could go back, and the rest was the affairs of those big commercial houses.

After the telegram of the successful cooperation was sent back to China, Tang Shaoyi and others began to build an embassy in Santiago, and the soldiers of the Navy's submarine force also began to train Chilean naval soldiers.

With the permission of the Chilean government, the Chinese merchants began to carry out large-scale enclosure operations in Chile, and the Chilean government was very happy about the actions of the Chinese merchants, because the Chinese merchants circled some deserts or places where they saw no minerals, and they also took the opportunity to raise the price, but they did not expect the Chinese merchants to buy it happily after only bargaining a few times.

The actions of the Chinese merchants also attracted the attention of the merchants of Britain and other countries in Chile, but when they saw that what China wanted was just some deserts, they were scolding the Chinese merchants for being brainless and ruined, they thought that the Chinese people were crazy about the land, and they went so far to Chile to buy land, even if they thought of saltpeter, they should not do this. However, the entry of the Chinese also put pressure on them, and they can no longer dominate the Chilean market in a chic manner, which makes them very depressed.

The British ambassador to Chile also discovered the actions of the Chinese, and he couldn't understand why Huaxia came to Chile, if it was for saltpeter, it would be easy to explain, but he was afraid that Huaxia came to Chile for some ulterior motives. But there was nothing suspicious about the commercial activities between Huaxia and Chile in the future, and they couldn't judge Huaxia's purpose, and in the end they couldn't do it, after all, Chile only had saltpeter that they cared about the most.

Under Qin Yu's instructions, the people of several major commercial houses in China kept looking for copper ore and other minerals in central Chile, and finally under the guidance of Qin Yu's drawings, they bought a lot of places that contained a large number of minerals in later generations, and basically mined them after they were circled. Since many of them are desert areas, Chinese businessmen asked for more preferential policy support, and Chile also agreed not to charge any taxes within three years, after all, there will be no local tyrants like Huaxia after that, and those deserts can be sold very well.

Qin Yu was very excited after receiving Tang Shaoyi's telegram, the layout of South America has been completed, not only obtained the right to enter Chile to mine minerals, but also got a naval supply base, although he had predicted that it would be successful, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth.

The U.S. Panama Canal plan made Qin Yu very jealous, once it was opened, the United States could send the navy into the Pacific Ocean at any time, which was very unfavorable to Qin Yu's future plans, so he had to arrange his own layout in South America, otherwise it would cause a big disaster in the future.

Originally, Qin Yu wanted to establish his own naval base in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador, but now Huaxia is still on a honeymoon with the United States, once this is done, it will make Huaxia and the United States enter an ice age, and Britain and France will not let Huaxia occupy this archipelago, and the Chinese Empire has no reason to occupy this archipelago, and it is easy to expose if it cooperates with Ecuador, after all, the United States' sphere of influence has already covered there, so it can only retreat to cooperate with Chile.

Chile did not buy a lot of tanks and submarines, only 30 in total, but those guns and shells cost a lot, just enough to sell the replaced guns to Chile. After receiving the telegram, Qin Yu ordered people to load tanks onto ships and transport them to Chile, while submarines protected the fleet all the way. This time, there were also some Chinese soldiers who went to help Chile build special forces and train submariners, and they went to Chile as businessmen.

At this time, it was already May, and the weather in Beijing had begun to warm up, and Jiang Fangzhen, Cai Ye and others were once again summoned by Qin Yu to Qin Yu's office in Zhongnanhai.

There was a huge sand table on the table in Qin Yu's office at this time, which was full of flags, Qin Yu was pointing and pointing at something with a baton, Jiang Fangzhen was very surprised to see this after they came in, and there was another battle in this formation.

Jiang Fangzhen and the others were immediately stunned when they approached the sand table and saw it, isn't this a map of Outer Mongolia and Russia in Asia, is it going to start a war with Russia?

"陛xià this is ......"

"Ah, yes, I can't let Waimeng stumble anymore, it's time to get ready to solve it." Before Jiang Fangzhen could finish asking, Qin Yu directly interrupted him.

"Please think twice, it's not the time to start with Russia, Japan is still watching, how about waiting for a few more years for the national strength to become stronger?" Cai Yi persuaded.

Qin Yu looked at the map of Outer Mongolia on the sand table and said: "This battle must be fought, it can't be delayed any longer, Outer Mongolia must be recovered, and the territory of the empire cannot be in the hands of others." ”

In 1911, when the Xinhai Revolution broke out in China, Tsarist Russia decided that the time had come to divide Mongolia, and began to cultivate pro-Russian forces and distribute weapons in large quantities in preparation for the independence of Outer Mongolia. In December, Hangda Dorji, Chelin Qimit and other princely lamas declared independence in Kulen, supported the 8th Jebtsundamba Hutuktu of Outer Mongolia as emperor, and established the government of the "Great Mongolian". On December 28, Jebtsundamba ascended the throne in Kulen and proclaimed himself the "Emperor of Nikko".

At that time, the three parties who were busy with the civil war did not pay much attention, but the Qing government and they did not recognize the independence of Outer Mongolia, so the independence of Outer Mongolia was a kind of division and rebellion.

"But Your Majesty's current situation is really not suitable for war with Russia, Russia is a member of the Entente, Britain and other countries will not stand idly by, and there is Japan eyeing the side, in general, the current situation really can't go to war with Japan and Russia casually." Cai Yi looked at Qin Yu very puzzled, he didn't think Qin Yu didn't know these things, but why did Qin Yu still say this? This puzzled him.

Jiang Fangzhen thought for a moment and said: "If we can concentrate more than half of our strength to attack Russia, we have an eighty percent chance of victory, but we must be prepared for a long-term battle, and we must also guard against the Japanese army, if we enter into a confrontation with Russia and Japan attacks, we will lose the northeast and even the navy."

What's more, the war meant attrition at the beginning, and now we are still cooperating economically with Britain and other countries, and their loans have not arrived, so I don't agree with recovering Outer Mongolia at this time, so why not wait a few years. ”

"I also don't agree with the recovery of Outer Mongolia now, the current First Five-Year Plan has just begun, we need a stable external environment, without foreign aid we will suffer heavy losses, and even be attacked by Japan and Russia at the same time.

As soon as the founding of the country was about to enter the war, how people around the world view the empire will have a bad impact, if Britain and other countries are also involved, the empire will not be able to defeat a few world powers even if all the yellow cards are used. Chen Fu also disagreed with Qin Yu's opinion.

Qin Yu asked very firmly: "International reaction?" Joke, Outer Mongolia was originally an empire, this is an internal matter of the empire, and it is not the turn of Britain and France and other countries to take care of it.

Is the current Northeast under our actual control? Japan was not ready for war with the empire at present, and they did not dare to rashly engage in an all-out struggle with the empire in the next few years.

Britain and France do not have time to manage the war between the empire and Russia, the situation in Europe is already very tense, and a huge war will break out just one fuse, and Russia did not have much support during the Russo-Japanese War. War Russia's Japan is now alive and kicking.

At present, Britain, France and other countries are estimated to wish that we would go to a big war with Russia, which can not only curb the rise of the empire, but also consume Russia's arrogance. It is not surprising that they will intervene in the war to make an armistice between the Empire and Russia at the climax of our climax, and then draw an armistice line in Outer Mongolia in a pretended way, so that the seeds of war can be planted, so why not?

You don't have to worry about this, I have already arranged it, the war will take place between July and August, and try to drive the Russian soldiers out of Outer Mongolia before winter. ”

Qin Yu didn't think about these things, according to the perspective of the previous life, World War I would break out next year, and when World War I broke out, if China attacked Russia, it would be against the Entente, and if the Russian Red Party came to power, it would be even more impossible to take back Outer Mongolia, the crazy Red Party was very terrifying, and Qin Yu had other plans after that.

Qin Yu's plan was to have a showdown with Japan at the beginning of World War I, and then kill Japan to make a big war fortune again, use the war to repay the loan, seize this opportunity to strengthen China's strength, and not let the United States swallow the big fortune alone.

"Our naval plan has not yet been completed, how can we stop Japan from attacking on a large scale during the war, the current navy is not as strong as Japan, and without the navy, we will be slowly swallowed up by Japan. There is also the fact that our soldiers can not fight in Outer Mongolia for a long time, where the weather is of little use in winter, and Russia can rely on the Far Eastern Railway to continuously send troops to Outer Mongolia in the country, and if you are not careful, it will be a huge war. Cai still does not agree to send troops to Outer Mongolia now.

Jiang Fangzhen suddenly remembered something and said: "If we want to fight, we have to defeat all the Russian troops in the Far East in a few months, and then send special forces to go deep into Russia to blow up the Far Eastern Railway, as long as it drags on through the winter, we can win." As for Japan, they are not ready for it right now, and if they are to participate, they will most likely invade at the peak or end of the fierce war between the Empire and Japan.

There were only two ways for the Japanese to attack, one was to attack by land from the northeast, and then go south after conquering the northeast, and the other was by sea, as long as their navy was victorious, they could send a large number of troops to attack from the sea.

If it is the Northeast, as long as Zhang Zuolin can hold Japan back for a few months, we will be able to control the overall situation, and the biggest problem now is that our navy is still in peace, according to the current strength, it is impossible to start a war with the two countries at the same time, and it must be more than 1.5 million to ensure that the empire does not fall behind. ”

"Yes, what Baili said is exactly what I thought, the navy is impossible to defeat the Japanese navy in the early stage, and when the aircraft carrier comes out in the later stage, it will be the time when the empire wins.

This time, not only Outer Mongolia will be recovered, but Sakhalin Island, which had been ceded before, will also be recovered, and if necessary, war will be declared on Russia. Don't worry, this war will also have the support of Germany and other countries and the Jews, so we can win even without the support of Britain and other countries.

As for the loans from Britain and France, don't worry, according to the agreed date, in June we will get their first half of the loan, and with this they will still lend us.

Japan is certainly not ready for an all-out war with the Empire, so what we want is to take Outer Mongolia as much as possible and deal with Russia as soon as Japan reacts. Russia will certainly not engage in a protracted war with the Empire because of European affairs, not to mention that I still have a trump card in my hand, and the intelligence services will join this war with all their might. Qin Yu said confidently.

They also know a little bit about the ace Jiang Fangzhen and others, and if they think about it carefully, it is really possible to solve the Russian problem in a short time. As for Japan, they always feel a little uneasy, Japan can invest more than one million troops in the Russo-Japanese War, so if it enters China, it may soon form an army of one million people.
