"Patrol envoy Qin, you are not a diplomat, besides, can you really make a country's decision alone, you are nonsense!" The French consul Fu Leyou didn't expect to meet someone like Qin Yu on a diplomatic occasion, so he directly threatened to sever diplomatic relations, and stood up angrily at the moment, "In terms of force, your country is just a third-rate country, and it is not worthy of a war with the great powers!" ”

Zhu Erdian also said with some displeasure, "Your Excellency, please restrain your anger, this is a negotiation, not a quarrel!" ”

"Phew!" Qin Yu slapped a telegram on the table again, "It's not up to you to decide whether you are worthy of a war or not, if you have the ability to transfer the army to the Far East, let's fight." Isn't the intervention of several powers in the Soviets now being beaten backwards? I don't believe what the Soviets can do, the Republic of China can't do it, and if you don't give the Republic a way out today, tomorrow I will formally meet with the representatives of the Soviets and find another way out. You can't let you drive tens of millions of people in our country to death! ”

"Your Excellency, there must be a way to solve the matter of your country's customs, please don't be impulsive." Hearing this, the American consul Rui Enshi could no longer sit still, and Zhu Erdian's face changed greatly. For the Soviet power, hundreds of thousands of intervention troops such as Britain, the United States, Japan and Italy, as well as hundreds of thousands of White Guards such as Kolchak, Denikin, and Seminov, were still defeated and retreated. The Soviet power has already gained momentum, and once the Republic of China joins forces with it, the red ideology will spread throughout the Eurasian continent and will no longer be able to stop it. This was unacceptable to Britain and the United States, which at this time regarded the Soviets as a beast of prey.

What's more, the United States was not firm in its attitude on the issue of tariffs, and it was the first time in history that the United States signed a new tariff treaty with the Republic of China. It was also the first initiative of the United States to initiate the rebate of Geng funds to fund education in the Republic of China. At this time, the United States was relatively open-minded in its policy toward China, and naturally it would not push the Republic of China to the Soviet side because of the tariffs. Even if Qin Yu can't represent the entire Republic of China, Qin Yu has already controlled most of the northern part of the Republic of China, and his power is even better than that of Yuan Shikai at the beginning.

"Mr. Reinsch, I have great respect for my friendship with the United States. However, the predicament of the Republic of China is not something that can be affected by private individuals, and what China wants is a road to get on the right track and enter a virtuous circle. Instead of years of chaos in various places, the people are not happy, you have not been to the mainland, and you don't know that those in my country can't even eat. The pain of losing one's life and losing one's loved one at any time. The people of our country are very grateful for the return of the Geng indemnity payment, but not all countries are as generous and benevolent as your country. If it is really as France said, we will have to spend more than 100 million yuan on the remaining Geng reparations alone, and some robbers are even more willing to see this bad situation in our country. If I continue to do the same, I, the military and the people who support me, will embark on a different path of radical change. Qin Yu said cautiously.

"Your Excellency. You are bringing about your own destruction, do you think your Northeast Army can withstand a few of our countries? Kohata Youji said gloomily, if you can provoke a few countries to send troops to the Republic of China, it is undoubtedly the best thing to defeat Qin Yu's Northeast Army. The situation of the Republic of China is different from that of Soviet Russia, the United States is unwilling to send a large army to invade Soviet Russia, while Britain and France are far from being injured in the European war, and Japan sends troops to Siberia, but the main part of Soviet Russia is located in Europe. In Siberia it was like a punch to cotton, without force. On the contrary, it was Japan itself that was made miserable by the Soviet Russian guerrillas. And the Republic of China is densely populated. Japan was not as troubled as the Soviet Union and Russia when it was in the vanguard.

"Don't pull all the countries on your chariot, I have also learned the combat power of your army in the first battle of Boli, and I have also defeated the army that your country has helped my country to supervise and train in the war, and I will definitely take it back from the customs, if your country thinks that you can have another Sino-Japanese War, just send troops. I haven't settled accounts with you yet. If there is another move to increase troops, or if the combined fleet appears in the waters near the northeast, Lao Tzu will regard you as a declaration of war and immediately disarm your Kwantung Army division, and if you obey and take prisoner, it will be easy to do so. If you don't obey, just wait to collect the corpses of the Kwantung Army divisions. ”

Qin Yu said hesitantly, without taking the threat of Kohata Youji in his eyes at all, now the Northeast Army directly under it has exceeded 300,000, after entering the customs, controlling Henan, Shandong, and the three central divisions directly adapted from the participating army, Qin Yu can directly mobilize more than 400,000 troops, and then control Gongxian and Dezhou Arsenal, it is really damned, the Japanese army is not so terrible, if the Japanese army invades on a large scale and uses the name of the central government to mobilize the troops of other provinces, it can always be transferred.

"You...."Kohata Yukichi was furious, he didn't expect that the threat of force would not work at all, and the news from Aoki Xuanchun said that the elite of the Northeast Army was already comparable to the Japanese army, and Boli was an obvious fact, and it was extremely difficult to fight from Shandong to Beijing, not to mention making a breakthrough in Qin Yu's lair in the northeast.

"The patrol makes your Excellency not have to be angry, we can discuss the matter of customs again, and we don't need to be angry." Zhu Erdian finally spoke up, "We also understand the fact of your country's financial embarrassment, and as long as your country can guarantee the repayment of existing debts, the transfer of customs rights and interests to your country is also negotiable." ”

"Thank you Consul Zhu for your understanding, if I wasn't forced to do anything, I wouldn't want to go to extremes. I have to go back and make preparations, since Japan and France have used military threats, I have to make arrangements as soon as possible to prevent the invasion of the two countries. Qin Yu took the white towel handed by adjutant Wang Yuhai, wiped the blood off his hand, and strode away with a cold face. If you don't give these legations of the great powers some color, you really think that the Republic of China at this time is weak and can be bullied.

Grasp the psychology of Britain and the United States at this time, even if the law does not agree, then it is impossible for them. If the customs tax can be increased by a few percentage points, it will not only increase the income of tens of millions of yuan, but also protect the development of domestic industry, increase the price of foreign goods, and reduce the competitiveness of foreign goods against domestic goods, which is particularly important for the fragile industrial base of the Republic of China at this time. How many factories in the Republic of China have closed down and gone bankrupt because they can't compete with foreign goods. And offsetting the income from the reduction of the money has immeasurable benefits for the development of industry and commerce in the Republic of China. One plus one subtracted. It will be much more than hundreds of millions of revenues on the books.

Qin Yuyang the entire Northeast Army is only less than 70 million expenses, if he gets this income, not only can he greatly strengthen the authority of the central government, but also can directly help the Republic of China build a new national defense force, there are so many benefits, even if he risks war with Japan. Qin Yu also has to stick to it. If the time for development at this time is missed, when Japanese militarism rises, the price paid in the intermediary period will be dozens of times that of now.

"You too, you can have blood everywhere in a meeting." After entering the customs, the probability of returning to Fengtian in the future is low, Zhou Yingxue and Chen Xinyi packed up the things in Fengtian and moved to Beijing. Zhou Yingxue, who added a son to Qin Yu last year, was slightly plump, and watched the doctor bandage Qin Yu's wounds. I couldn't help but blame.

"You don't know what's going on, who's angry and who's angry." Qin Yu shook his head with a smile, "Okay, don't talk about official business at home, won't my mother come?" ”

"My mother said that Fengtian is very good, and I am used to staying there, and I am afraid that I will not come over for a while, and besides, the house here is not as good as that of Fengtian. I think you should have arranged for a new house to be built here earlier, and then moved your mother and relatives to Beijing. Zhou Yingxue glared at Qin Yu complainingly and said.

"That's right. It's good. Qin Yu nodded, the old man is always inseparable from his homeland, he is used to the life of Fengtian, and he is indeed a little reluctant to move to Beijing suddenly. It should be said that although Beijing is the administrative center of the Republic of China, it has developed over the years. The living environment in Mukden has surpassed that of Beijing.

"Second Young Master." Before he could say a word here, Zhang asked Yu'e to pass over and say that there was something important.

Just said that he would not talk about official business at home, but he didn't expect Zhang Shun to come over, and was ridiculed by Zhou Yingxue, Qin Yu still walked out of the house with a dry smile.

"You guy. If you don't have anything important today, you can practice boxing with me. Qin Yu looked at Zhang Shundao angrily.

"Don't, Second Young Master, isn't that going for my life." Zhang Shun's face turned pale, and he whispered, "There is indeed something, second young master, before I came back, I heard that the United States may implement a ban on alcohol, and I paid special attention to it, and now there is news that this matter is true." Second young master, that place in the United States is too rich, think about it, can this greedy person really quit drinking? ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Yu asked.

"Second young master, the profits in this wine are tens of millions, I don't think the central government is too poor, come here and give you a way." Zhang Shun explained.

"Is it really that profitable to drink?" Qin Yu asked with some emotion, even if the customs side makes progress, the initial income will be used to reduce the centigold, and the central government will be more generous, but there will not be much improvement in a short period of time, for Qin Yu, no matter how much money can be used up, one or two million is obviously not enough to spend.

"Second young master, I see that you are used to staying in China, I don't know how rich the United States is, compared with the United States, our Republic of China is like comparing the countryside with Fengtian and Beijing. The price of alcohol over there is also high, and after the prohibition is enacted, is it still rising? There are tens of millions of dollars a year, and with the network I have built up in the United States, it is not too difficult to do this. ”

"Well, you asked the people over there to be secretive about this matter, and don't contact the people over there in the future to avoid showing your feet." After thinking for a while, Qin Yu nodded and agreed, it is good not to provoke the attention of the United States, and for a period of time in the future, it will be very beneficial for the Republic of China to strive for good diplomacy with the United States.

…………….

Whoa, whoa, whoa....

The soldiers of the brigade maintained order in Jinan City, and Sun Liechen was already sitting in the original Zhang Huaizhi's Overseer Mansion at this time.

"Dashuai, it has been found that Zhang Huaizhi has embezzled more than 1.034 million yuan of land and shops during his tenure, and he will have time to move away in the future."

The original director of the Provincial Department of Finance was Zhang Huaizhi's cronies, and he ran away with the defeated army, and the remaining deputy director Zhao Qingyuan stayed, and said in front of Sun Liechen with some trepidation at this time. The battle outside Jinan was too great a deterrent to the city. More than 5,000 people were killed and wounded in Zhang Shuyuan's department, which has been a rare tragic war since the founding of the Republic of China. The sound of the earth-shaking explosion was remembered by all. Even in the previous Fengwan War, the casualties on both sides combined were less than a quarter of those outside Jinan.

Sun Liechen sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this battle has scared many people in Shandong, and it seems that it has already been made, and he hopes that the negotiations between the marshal and the foreigners in Beijing will be smooth. This Zhang Huaizhi is also, obviously without fighting, once defeated outside the city, he immediately abandoned the city at night and fled. It's just that I had to be so tough before. Early obedience to the central government is more trouble-free.

Putting these thoughts behind him, Sun Liechen said with a smile, "Now that Shandong is in ruins, money can make ghosts grind, and Director Zhao will take more responsibility afterwards and redo the work of the Department of Finance." As for Zhang Huaizhi's property, all of them were sold and charged to the Shandong Provincial Treasury as military expenses for Shandong's disarmament and reconstruction. ”

"Big handsome, Zhang Shuyuan asks to see."

"I'll see you now, why did you go earlier?" Sun Liechen snorted, "Bring him in." ”

"Zhang Shuyuan, the commander of the Fifth Division, has seen the big handsome." Zhang Shuyuan saluted Sun Liechen with some grievances in his heart. Before, he and Zhang Huaizhi were both Anhui generals, and he was about to replace Zhang Huaizhi and become the overseer of Shandong, but he didn't expect Feng to kill him in the air. Directly into Jinan. In the past, he could not dump Zhang Huaizhi, but now that he has become a miscellaneous card, he is not qualified to play in front of Sun Liechen.

"Well, the central government has a new appointment for you, you should prepare for a while, and go to the central government to take up a new post next month." Sun Liechen said that Sun Liechen had nothing to say about this division commander who was about to leave his post.

"What?" Zhang Shuyuan was stunned.

"What, do you want me to say it a second time?" Sun Liechen's face sank.

"The surname is Sun, you bastard, unloading the mill and killing the donkey...."Zhang Shuyuan led the commander of the Fifth Division of the Central Committee for many years, but he was withdrawn at this time, and he couldn't accept it for a while, so he immediately scolded.

Without cursing, he was pressed to the ground by the influx of soldiers.

"This is the account of your embezzlement of the army in the past few years, do you really think that others don't know what you have done, let you go to the central government to perform your duties because you did not resist the central army this time, save some face for you, don't know what to do." Sun Liechen threw a pamphlet directly in front of Zhang Shuyuan, "Take it down and send it directly to Beijing, so you don't have to let him stay in Shandong anymore." ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" (To be continued......)
