Chapter XXVI: The Japanese Conspiracy

Boom, the signing contract has been sent, and I've been waiting for a long time to finally sign it, Satan is very happy and very grateful for everyone's support for this book, please continue to pay attention to this book, Satan weakly asks for everyone's recommendation and collection, thank you, there is a change in the evening.

A few days after the outbreak of the Wuchang Revolution, Britain, France, the United States, Japan and other countries issued statements to maintain neutrality, and the ambassadors of various countries to China watched the drama while drinking tea, they felt that the more chaotic China was, the more benefits their country would gain, which could further weaken China's strength, and China would be easier to control in the future, so the outbreak of large-scale civil strife in China was what they wanted to see the most.

Soon after, there was civil strife in China, and a three-legged situation was formed, and the ambassadors of various countries were very happy, and they felt that the opportunity to make a fortune had come. War represents all kinds of attrition, but China has nothing now, so many foreign merchants have begun to ship a large number of cheap goods from the West to be sold at a high price, especially arms are the most popular among those merchants.

A month later, in Beijing's Dongjiaomin Alley, diplomatic ambassadors from various countries to China gathered together, chatting and drinking red wine.

Just when everyone was about to finish drinking, the British diplomatic ambassador to China, Zhu Erdian, stood up and raised his hands high and then slowly put them down, the scene suddenly quieted down, Zhu Erdian said to the people present very gentlemanly: "Gentlemen, we are gathered here today to talk about China's civil strife, the current China is a three-legged stand in their own idiom, but it seems to be a little difficult to control, this is no longer in line with the original intention of the British Empire, the Manchu government has lost its role, We're going to find someone else who can keep our interests in the works. ”

French Ambassador PegtiyΓ¬ said: "Why don't we wait for them to decide the winner?" ”

U.S. Ambassador Methody shook his head and said: "I think it's better to solve this problem as soon as possible, after all, it's too chaotic for anyone to dare to guarantee the safety of their own citizens in China." In fact, in his opinion, it is the same whether it is solved or not, anyway, the interests of the United States in China are not very large, but it is better to mess up now, so that he can cultivate the power of the United States in China, and he will definitely get more benefits in the near future.

German Ambassador Hanmi looked at the ambassadors and said: "I think Qin Yu of the East China government is good, he does not reject us foreigners, and he is also very happy for us to invest in him." ”

The Japanese ambassador Ijiin Hikoyoshi said with a very stern face: "The more chaotic the better, so that we can drop a big drop." ”

Zhu Erdian: "There is no way to go on in this kind of chaos, we have to find a new person or force that can strongly represent our interests, my British Empire thinks that Yuan Shikai is good, and he is also old, so we have to give him support." ”

Hanmi: "I, the German Empire, believe that the East China government can protect our interests. ”

Peige: "Although Yuan Shikai is good, my country still thinks that the Wuhan government is good and can support the Wuhan government." "The Nationalist government in Wuhan was in charge of Liangguang and Yunnan, and the French sphere of influence was there, so France wanted to support the Nationalist government to continue to control their interests in Liangguang and Yunnan.

Ijiin Hikoyoshi: "My Imperial Japanese Empire thinks that the Qing government is still capable of maintaining our interests, and Yuan Shikai can also do it." ”

Wes: "We in the United States think that the East China government is good, and that it has enough strength to protect our interests. Wei Li believed that Qin Yu's proximity to the ocean and the fact that he was one of the wealthiest provinces in China made it very convenient for the United States to dump its own goods.

At this time, the Russian ambassador Kosovetz said: "I think it is better to meet our interests with the Manchus, after all, only the Manchus would be so obedient." ”

Everyone debated word by word, and in the end, no one could convince anyone, and Japan's Ijiin Hikoyoshi suddenly said: "Since everyone can't form an effective opinion, let's let the Japanese Empire send troops to help the Manchus put down the rebellion." ”

Kosovetz looked at the Japanese ambassador and said loudly: "This is impossible, since everyone has said to remain neutral, you cannot send troops to help either side." "He didn't think that Japan would have such good intentions, and when the time came, wouldn't it have strengthened Japan's interests in China, and the troops sent would definitely pass through the northeast, which would be even more inconsistent with Russia's interests, and if the tsar knew that he was in favor, who knew that the moody majesty would be angry and would have swept him to the end or even cut him down.

At this time, Zhu Erdian also saw Japan's thoughts and said: "It is impossible to let Japan send troops, you might as well die of this heart." ”

Hanmi, Were, and Peige all said that Japan would not be allowed to send troops, but Ijiin Hikoyoshi said: "Since this is not possible, it is better for us to support the forces we want to support, and continue to let them maintain a three-legged position, so that our interests will not be lost." ”

Although everyone didn't like the Japanese, he had a point, and then Peg said: "It's okay, it's good to keep it like this for a short time, and if anyone gets out of control, he will support his hostile elements to threaten them to hand over more benefits." ”

Zhu Erdian felt that although this was very good, it was not conducive to the interests of Britain in the long run, after all, this would divide a lot of interests, which was very unpleasant.

At this time, Ijiin Hikoyoshi added fuel to the fire and said: "It is better for us to move the Manchu Qing to the northeast and continue to maintain the Manchu name, so that the treaties signed by the Manchus before the Manchu Qing will not become invalid, and if the new government does not recognize these treaties in the future, it will be very troublesome." Therefore, we should move the Manchus to the northeast, and no matter what those forces do, they will not damage our great interests. ”

At this time, the ambassadors of various countries to China were thinking about the words of little Japan, thinking about it, they also thought it was very good, the Xinchou Treaty was all shared, especially Tsarist Russia, Britain, France, these countries have signed a lot of unequal treaties with the Manchu Qing, although they are not afraid of the current China, but there are more ants can bite the elephant to death, and now the contradictions in Europe are becoming more and more tense, and there is not much energy to manage the Far East, so they are also afraid that the new government will abolish these treaties after coming to power.

Seeing that the ministers of various countries were in deep thought, Hikoyoshi of Ijiin was very proud, and it seemed that the task given by the base camp this time was about to be overfulfilled. The task given to him by the Japanese base camp is to let China continue to mess with them and let them suffer internal friction, only in this way can Japan gain enough time to prepare for the so-called mainland policy, if the Manchu Qing is moved to the northeast, Japan can control the Manchu Qing very well, and then the plan to conquer Manchu and Mongolia will be successful, and the northeast will become Japan's in Japan, which is a huge piece of fat.

Just when Ijiin Yanji was still thinking about it, the ministers of all countries thought about it, except for Germany, they basically felt that this was very good, because Germany was bent on supporting Qin Yu to grow, hoping to have a strong ally in the Far East, looking at the current shape, I don't know if Qin Yu can resist internal friction and grow stronger, it seems that he can only persuade the country to give Qin Yu more support.

Kosovetz thought that the Manchus would be better able to threaten the Manchus when they reached the northeast, and that it would be impossible to hand over the annexed land.

Zhu Erdian believes that although this is not very good, it is also in line with Britain's interests, after all, Britain's strength is still the first in the world, as long as the Far East Fleet is still alive, it can maintain its own interests, and if the Manchu Qing Dynasty can not be destroyed, it will not be destroyed.

Saying that everyone agrees with this idea very much, but how to implement it is controversial, Ijiin Yanjiti yì immediately implements it so as not to have many dreams at night, while Kosovetz thinks that it will be done after Russia is ready for a while, Zhu Erdian also thinks that it will be ready after a while, Weili and Peige think it doesn't matter, Hanmi also thinks that it will be ready for a while, Hanmi wants to buy Qin Yu some time to prepare, because Qin Yu is very important to the empire now, and he doesn't want this matter to become a crack between Qin Yu and the empire.

In the end, after arguing for a while, they decided to lure the Manchu royal family to the northeast in a month, and this month they had to do the work of connecting the Manchu royal family and Yuan Shikai, after all, who knows if the Manchus would be willing to move to the barren and bleak northeast. After the meeting ended, Han Mi hurried back to his residence to send today's events back to China, and also sorted out today's events and sent a telegram to Qin Yu.
