Since the middle of the last century, the Qing government has signed a lot of unequal treaties, all of which are treaties that humiliate the country, and the signing of this treaty is a kind of victory, a kind of hope.

On the same day, Huaxia Ribao published the "Sino-British Treaty of Nanjing." Because of the horrific sales of newspapers in the past few days and the exciting news, Huaxia Ribao worked overtime to print newspapers, and the number of newspapers printed was about five times that of before.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, the newsboys or newspaper sellers of the major cities were all dispatched, and they rushed to the various places where the population of the city was concentrated.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The negotiations between our country and the United Kingdom are over, and the results are out, come on! ”

"Amazing news! Same scene, different Nanjing Treaty! ”

"The negotiations were very successful, and my country has changed its previous weak posture and risen strongly, and even the world's largest power cannot stop it!"

"Hong Kong has finally returned to the embrace of the motherland, and Hong Kong has returned!"

"The government has taken back the customs and the British Concession, and we have won!"

As soon as the newspaper seller shouted to the people around him, he immediately rushed to buy the newspapers one by one, and in less than ten minutes, more than 200 newspapers were sold out, and the newspaper seller smiled.

When people pick up the newspaper and look at it, the headline is: Victory in China! The negotiation was a complete success, and all rights and interests were recovered! After seeing it, people were happy, and then read the content inside, and after reading it, they were stunned, Britain really compromised, Huaxia recovered all kinds of British rights and interests in China, and bought Bangladesh and other regions cheaply, this is a rare victory in decades, many old people are crying with joy, and young people are excited to shout over and over again, "Long live China!" The people who read the newspaper that night had insomnia, and the land of China was cheering and lively again.

The people who were marching did not disperse, they gathered together again, their movement succeeded, men, women and children were all rolled together, Huaxia won, they witnessed this event and participated in it, it was a great event of glory to the ancestors.

Restaurants, wineries, tea houses and other restaurants in major cities in China are all open for free, and almost every hotel and restaurant is full, and those waiters and chefs are busy. Many of the people who came to eat and drink in excitement secretly left their money after the madness, knowing that although it was good for the restaurants to do this, they should not let the restaurants lose too much.

Although Zhang Zuolin wanted to stop the news of the Sino-British negotiations from reaching the Northeast, he did not dare, because he was afraid that the people in the Northeast would be in turmoil, and Japan was also eyeing the Yalu River, so he did not restrict Huaxia Daily's access to the Northeast.

The people in the Northeast were very shocked when they saw the newspapers of the Chinese government, and they could not imagine that Huaxia would take back the various rights and interests of Britain in China, which shows that the strength of the Chinese government is really strong, and the Northeast has not yet decided to join the Chinese government, so the people in the Northeast are both happy and worried, and they have developed anti-war feelings after the Russo-Japanese War and the exploitation of various bandits.

On the second day of the Sino-British negotiations, a large number of people in Northeast China marched to demand that Northeast China join the Chinese government and protest against the civil war. Zhang Zuolin and a cadre of the core personnel of the Feng Department did not suppress these demonstrations, they knew that the suppression was useless, now the Chinese government is strong, the strength far exceeds the Northeast, no one knows when the Chinese government will attack the Northeast, and the Feng Department is now divided into two factions, one is pro-Huaxia, the other is pro-Japanese, these two factions temporarily have the advantage of being pro-Huaxia, but even Zhang Zuolin does not know how many people have taken refuge in the Japanese, this is what he is most afraid of.

As soon as the Japanese ambassador received the telegram from the ambassador to China, they convened a meeting to analyze the signing of the Sino-British treaty, which had already affected Japan's original plans, so they had to carefully consider the affairs of China.

Prime Minister Xiyuan Temple looked at a large group of ministers and said: "China has signed a new Nanjing Treaty with Britain, and China has recovered all kinds of rights and interests, that is to say, Britain has withdrawn from the stage of China, and now it is both an opportunity and a danger for the empire, in general, the opportunity is greater than the danger, and the next step for the people of China will be to speed up the pace of reunification, and Manchuria is the most important step in the future plan of the empire, so we must strengthen the monitoring of Manchuria." ”

"Is the empire ready for war with China? I don't think it's the best time to start now, China has just won the victory over the British, their morale is strong, and the government of China has the support of the vast majority of the people, and our great Meiji Emperor has just passed away for half a year, and the people are still grieving, so I don't agree with the war with China now. War Minister Yusaku Uehara thought for a moment and said.

The Minister of the Navy, Sato Mi, said disdainfully: "I will let the navy attack first, and take advantage of the fact that the Huaxia Navy has just suffered heavy casualties in the battle with the British Far East Fleet, so we can destroy the Huaxia Navy, and then let the army attack Manchuria, and we are not a full-scale attack now, as long as we occupy the entire Manchuria, and then we can attack the entire China in Manchuria, and then the entire China will be our empire." ”

Yusaku Uehara retorted: "Occupying the three eastern provinces of China, do you think that Russia, which has troops in Outer Mongolia, will let us occupy it?" Do you think that China will not dare to devote all its strength to fight the empire to the end, now is not the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the government of China is now very strong, and even Britain will be afraid of the empire if they dare to fight? Once we have a big war with China, it will be Russia that will benefit, so now is not the time to attack the three eastern provinces of China, what we have to do is to ask Zhang Zuolin not to throw himself into the arms of China. ”

"Uehara is right, now is not the best time to attack China, and the empire is not ready for a full-scale war with China, and now the empire's finances are very tight, the empire's raw silk business in China has been suppressed by the Qin family and Huaxing business in China, which has shrunk by two-thirds, and the original coal and iron resources imported from China have also been compressed by more than half of the government of China, and now we are facing a shortage of resources, and can only buy from Britain and the United States at a high price. In addition, Emperor Meiji increased the military spending of the navy, so the finances are very tight, and I am afraid that it will not be able to support the empire for a long time. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said with a frown.

After hearing this, Xiyuan Temple Gongwang was helpless: "Not only is the empire not prepared, but China now has new weapons such as airships and tanks, but the empire does not have weapons to deal with tanks, and considering the interests of various countries in China, according to our intelligence officers in various countries, Germany, the United States, Italy and other countries want to enter the market before China occupies LinkedIn, especially the United States and Germany are the most enthusiastic." And Britain now obviously wants to win over China, so they will not let the empire attack China, otherwise Britain would have asked us for help before, but Britain did not, not to mention that Russia is still watching China there. Once the war with China starts, the empire will face a resource crisis, and the Western countries basically want to support China so that China can compete with us for hegemony in the Far East, and then if a war breaks out, they can enter the Far East again, and they really underestimate our endurance. ”

After thinking for a while, Sato said: "The navy of the empire can definitely defeat the navy of China, and the army can also defeat them, but I am afraid that raising tigers will be troublesome, with so many countries-supported China plus their terrifying population, it will not take a few years to become strong, and if we want to conquer China, we will have to pay a huge price, so we must be optimistic about the three eastern provinces, and we can't fall into the hands of the government of China now." ”

Gangmen, the person in charge of the intelligence department, said suspiciously: "Since we can't attack China, why don't we use Russia to weaken China's strength, as long as we use the intelligence personnel in China to incite the people of China to let China send troops to attack Russia, this will not only weaken the strength of these two sides, but once the war starts, we will have enough time to prepare, and finally send troops to Manchuria when they are both defeated, China will definitely have the strength to deal with the two powers, and Manchuria will inevitably fall into the hands of the empire." ”

"This is good, so that the empire will become the hegemon of the Far East, and it will definitely occupy the whole of China, but now is not the best time for China to go to war with Russia, and then instigate it after China thinks that it is unified and begins to develop itself, and the countries have nothing to say, the most important thing now is to let the intelligence personnel of China quickly get the drawings of those tanks and new warships, and the hateful Britain actually let China not sell the drawings for three years, otherwise with the strength of the empire, China will definitely be sold to the empire." Xiyuan Temple Gongwang's eyes lit up after listening to Gangmen's words, and he also agreed with this idea very much.

"According to the current practice of the people of China, we estimate that the concessions of various countries in China will soon be taken back by the government of China, and what will happen to the concessions of the empire in China? Will the government of China incite those stupid people of China to oppose the citizens and merchants of the Empire, this time Britain has been severely attacked, and the Empire wants to prevent this. "This question was raised.

"China still doesn't dare to start a war with the empire, if they dare to do this, we will drive the navy to China to threaten them, and there is no concession in the Russian concession or anything, so we will just pull Russia up when the time comes, and he will not dare to start a war with two powers at the same time, hum!" The public hope of Xiyuan Temple said fiercely that the Japanese concession in China not only gave their countrymen a place to live, but also a hiding place for those who gathered intelligence in China, and that Japan also used the concession to sell opium to lure the local landlords and merchants.

There are some proposals from others, but the Xiyuan Temple has basically determined that there will be a major war with China in the next six months, and then use the Outer Mongolian dispute to weaken the strength of China and Russia, and then take the opportunity to occupy the whole of Manchuria.
