Chapter 278: Fight in front of you!
Chapter 278 When You Face Hit ()!
@@@@@@
On the third day after the Xihuamen incident, the Emden, which had returned to China to recuperate, slowly sailed into the golden waterway of the Yangtze River after emitting a loud whistle, and when the old Prince Reinhardt, who had a white beard, walked down the gangway with the expectations of His Majesty the Emperor of Prussia, he was immediately completely surrounded by the Chinese and foreign media who heard the news, and this veteran diplomat who had crossed Prussia also expressed his intention in the simplest and most straightforward way, that is, Germany hoped to establish closer friendly relations with China.
In addition to this sentence, he also showed the goodwill of His Majesty Emperor Wilhelm II, including the one-time assistance to the Republic of China government for all the equipment of 5 army divisions, the technical upgrading of the three heavy industry groups in Hanyang, Chongqing and Luoyang led by Krupp and Rheinmetall, the help to build a large shipyard, and the joint venture construction of 9 other factories, including the million-ton Shuicheng steel mill plan on the Guizhou-Yunnan border that Yang Qiu never forgot, and the construction of two railways from Yumen to Xinjiang and Baotou to Kulun, A rehabilitation loan with a total value of DM 500 million will also be provided.
Generous! If he didn't know the historical process, he would definitely not hesitate to throw himself into the arms of Germany, but it is a pity that the gunshots will sound in more than a month, and these things will be destined to be a mirror ().
But such a big deal obviously shook Britain and France a lot, and no one expected that the neurotic Wilhelm II would have such a bad brain to carry out such a large industrial and commercial assistance to a semi-colonial country.
Journalists, especially domestic journalists, who had been shouting that Yang Qiu was not wise enough to join the call for the alliance. There is no other reason for such a rapid change, it is completely driven by profits, and the newspaper does not say that it can be opened, and there are some bosses or forces behind it, who are too interested in the business opportunities behind this German list.
If nothing else, take the Hubei Industrial Group as an example, after integrating and adopting the new industrial model of subcontracting and procurement, it has fed a large number of private enterprises in China, from wooden gun butts to grenade handles, from cannon wheels to rivets, many of which have been contracted to capable private factories. The latest big deal was last month, after Shanghai tycoon Zhu Zhiyao visited the Minister of Industry Shen Shukai, Qiuxin Machinery Factory immediately got a contract with a total value of 3 million cannon tripods, and Jiangnan Shipyard also ordered 8 sets of 66-ton large steam engines designed by him. Who doesn't blush?
Through these examples, the domestic industrial and commercial circles finally thoroughly understand what is called industry, industry does not mean that you build a factory from rivets, wires, steel plates to do it yourself, but can do a single item, and then transport these single items to such large factories as Hubei and Chongqing, and then assemble them into finished products to form a complete industrial chain, as long as you hang on the chain then you will not have to worry about food.
Germany has jointly built 9 large factories at once, which means 9 industrial chains, at this time, if you don't advocate trapping yourself in the chain, will you wait for the chain to be crowded and then sharpen your head and drill into it? Therefore, these big bosses and forces immediately asked the reporters below to turn their guns, and even Singapore's "Nanyang Daily", the last stronghold of the People's Party, suddenly changed its tone, and only a few independently operated newspapers and foreign newspapers were relatively objective.
When the wind in the country changed sharply, the decision-maker's every move began to be subtle, and the entire Far East knew that the person who could decide whether to take this step was not the president, nor the prime minister, although both of them were also members of the executive committee of the State Society, but they could not cover the young and upright posture that came out of the rain of bullets in the Xinhai year, swept the southwest, laid the foundation of the Republic of China, and unified the whole country in the Northern Expedition.
As the most powerful diplomat here, he once established the principle of reunification of various countries with his personal prestige, but he had never felt so uneasy, and the crisp voice seemed to be unable to stop it, and a sound drilled into his ears.
After the two U.S. Marines pushed the door open, the dazzling sunlight immediately poured in from the door, and the slender figure that had made everyone wait for five days finally appeared in the sunlight, Yang Qiu walked into the conference room with a smile and nodded politely to each minister and representative: "I'm very sorry, the sea breeze in Qingdao Fortress seems to be too violent, and it is really Yang's fault to make you wait for a long time." ”
"Your Excellency the Vice President is too polite, presumably your body has recovered, right?" After learning from Hangel's secret telegram that Yang Qiu was still hesitant to form an alliance, Dou Maile stood up to welcome everyone on his behalf. He was undoubtedly the most relaxed one in the room, because even if China and Germany did form an alliance, Yang Qiu and the Republic of China government had promised that they would never give up good cooperation with the United States, but would instead be ready to open up more areas and establish Sino-US trade zones similar to Hankou and Chongqing.
"Thank you for your concern, my body is already well." Under the guidance of Han Gele, who accompanied him, Yang Qiu sat in the middle, Wu Tingfang and his assistant were on his left, and Cai Gongshi and Cai Ye and others were left on the right.
"Your Excellency, Vice President, we hope to get it out of your mouth today." At this time, no one was willing to delay time, but Zhu Erdian was just about to go straight to the point when he was interrupted: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I have something I want to talk to the Japanese representative about before this. After finishing speaking, his eyes slowly turned to Matsudaira Tsuneo, the temporary representative of the Japanese minister, because the Japanese minister Enjiro Yamaza was seriously ill and could not perform the duties of the minister, so he was temporarily replaced.
This first-class counselor, who has the samurai blood of the Aizu Domain, looked at him without fear, and was not even willing to admit Yang Qiu's official position, and said coldly and arrogantly: "What does Your Excellency have to say to me?" ”
Yang Qiu looked at him coldly, and leaned forward slowly: "He, has he arrived in Lushun?" ”
Matsudaira Tsuneo thought that he would make some strange moves, but he didn't expect it to be this question that he had already set in his mind, and shook his head directly: "I don't understand what Your Excellency means ()." "In fact, everyone knows who he is, for Japan to take away the little emperor without authorization, Zhu Erdian and the French and Russian ministers are also very angry, although they have never thought of forming an alliance with China, but they also do not want to intensify the contradictions, they just want to maintain the current policy to take a delaying way not to be profited by Germany, for this reason Britain and France and other countries are even prepared to give up some interests a little, but Japan's hand has undoubtedly pushed Yang Qiu to the hostile side, if it is not for being trapped in Europe and unable to get out, it is necessary to continue to maintain the Anglo-Japanese alliance, Using this watchdog to safeguard the interests of the Far East in the past few years, perhaps Whitehall has the idea of canceling the alliance.
"Good." Yang Qiu was not angry, and turned his head to look at Zhu Erdian and the French Minister Kang Yi.
In fact, he knew best the minds of Britain and France, and they always thought that they had only encountered a little trouble when they were fully superior in strength, national strength, and posture before the war, and they also thought that even if it broke out, it would be glorious and short-lived, so as long as Japan could contain China, the Far East would still be a colonial paradise when it turned around. Historically, the Beiyang government planned to join the Entente at the beginning, but due to Japan's obstruction, and no one in Britain and France thought that a colony was needed to help, until France was beaten by Germany after the human resources were in question, it began to seriously consider, at that time Japan also occupied Qingdao and radiated the entire Shandong, and the United States had no intention of continuing to contain Japan in the Far East but was fully preparing to enter the war, so there were 500,000 laborers and almost sent a European expeditionary force.
So he is not in a hurry now, not to mention that even if he wants to go in now, he can't get in, Japan alone will definitely block his accession, for Britain at this moment, Japan's words are far more effective than what he said, so he immediately pressed Wu Tingfang, who was opening the notepad and preparing to record the details of the talks: "Foreign Minister Wu, I'm a little tired, so I won't attend this meeting." ”
Wu Tingfang was stunned by him, what does this mean? Although I took the train all night and came immediately after getting off the train, I didn't get tired after just saying a few words! Seeing that he had been preparing for a few days, and the plan to rely on this negotiation to get back some benefits was all in vain, he was anxious again, but fortunately he didn't get angry directly after being scolded a few days ago, and asked: "Vice President, what are you?" ”
Yang Qiu didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Zhu Erdian: "Please convey my respect to Prime Minister Asquith, and tell him on my behalf that the biggest mistake of the British Empire is to appoint Your Excellency as a minister ()!" ”
Syllable!
Even if it was a good cultivation, Zhu Erdian was really angry, he didn't expect Yang Qiu to face his humiliation in front of so many envoys from so many countries, and slapped the table fiercely: "Your Excellency Vice President, please pay attention to your words!" Don't hurt your country! ”
"Yes! I'm clear, but I'm even more clear, you should know why that person was taken to South Manchuria? I don't have to respect anyone who tries to divide my country! Yang Qiu said proudly to himself: "I will fail, no one can prosper forever, and no country will always remain victorious!" I don't think I have the need or obligation to tell you about the alliance that you want to know, because you have not yet recognized my Government! In your eyes we are just grasshoppers, just saboteurs of the Far East!
As for why it has not been recognized so far? I think Your Excellency knows better than I do that your role in this does not need me to tell! You ignore the birth of the world's largest democracy, ignore the cries of 40,000,000 Chinese people, and do everything you can to curb the democratization process of this country! For this, you even sit back and watch a person who is trying to divide our country sit here! ”
"If I support the division of Ireland by Germany, will Your Excellency be willing to sit down with me and negotiate?" Yang Qiu's finger pointed fiercely at Matsudaira Tsuneo, who was pale, he knew better than anyone that Britain and France would not consider letting themselves join before they had no strength, so only after winning Japan and letting them see their strength could they really sit down, so they simply scolded all the words they wanted to scold, and they also saved themselves from feeling aggrieved.
This earth-shattering rebuke made the ministers of various countries stunned, and even Dou Maile doubted whether it was perfunctory for him to say that he had not considered the alliance before, until he saw him wink and smile at Hangel, and he was slightly relieved. But before stepping out of the gate, Yang Qiu's footsteps suddenly retracted: "General Cai!" Pass on my order to appoint Lieutenant General Yue Peng as commander-in-chief of the Northeast Theater, and from this moment on, he can take any means to ensure the unity and integrity of the country! ”
When people declare war on the Manchurian army?! Cai Yi, who had not yet woken up from the shocking rebuke just now, was stunned, looked at Wu Tingfang and glanced at the ministers of various countries with ugly faces around him, and after lingering for a moment on the face of Matsudaira Hengxiong, who was already about to explode, he slowly raised his right arm and saluted: "Yes!" ”
