Chapter 87 The Council of Ministers

At the time of the Volunteers' occupation of Guanwai, many people in China did not believe that the bandit-turned-Yang Dagui was capable of governing the local area, or that they did not believe that Yang Dagui was a suitable ruler.

Mr. Sa Daoyi, including in Beijing, believed that the first thing Yang Xiaolin would do after killing Zaitao and defeating the Japanese was to expand his troops! According to Sa Daoyi's understanding of Yang Xiaolin, Yang Dagui should immediately expand the volunteer army to 300,000, or even 500,000, to prepare for him to leap into the customs.

As for the people's livelihood, he will definitely once again implement the policy of the initial stage of wartime socialism, and Yang will definitely be inseparable from war.

But after a few months, the number of volunteers remained at around 100,000. Except for the reorganization of the ranks of the new army, Yang Xiaolin basically showed no sign of expanding his troops. On the contrary, in terms of people's livelihood, the situation in the northeast is really improving day by day, the army has not increased, and with the defeat of the Manchus, the military confrontation has ended at least partially.

Far from increasing, the peasants' taxes were reduced considerably, and the lives of the common people gradually improved compared to those under the Manchu rule.

That guy Yang Du has repeatedly issued statements that not only welcome Chinese from the mainland to build factories and workshops with him, but also send messages to overseas Chinese through various channels to welcome them back. At the same time, he was also quite polite to those foreigners who dared to go to the Northeast, which somewhat surprised Mr. Sa Daoyi.

Politically democratic, economically open, that beast still knows how to take care of the local export industry in the Northeast! Mr. Sadaoyi was speechless for a long time when he saw the telegram Robert had sent him from the Northeast. He couldn't put Yang Dagui, who now rules most of the Northeast, on top of the beast that put a pistol to his head and covered his body with grenades when he was in Beijing.

He was sure he didn't fully understand the beast, but Kelsa did. If Yang Xiaolin is allowed to develop like this, God will help to give the Northeast a year and a half of smooth weather. That beast's policy will make people see the effect, and he will soon have the support and recognition of all Chinese in the northeast. At the same time, he will also let some people in China see his ability to govern a country well!

At that time, he will enter Beijing with unstoppable momentum! Yuan Shikai can't stop him, absolutely can't stop him.

That is not in the interests of the British Empire, not in the interests of civilized shijie. Once that beast dominates China, he may be able to open up the whole Chinese market, as he has done in the Northeast, but he is definitely not suitable for the British.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty is coming to an end, and Sa Daoyi knows this in his heart. The British Empire had abandoned the Manchus, but Yuan Shikai could have succeeded them. It can be other Chinese, but it definitely can't be Yang Fighting Ghost!

His attitude towards the British Empire was not friendly. A strong China is also not in Britain's Asian interests. There is another thing, which is also the reason why Minister Sa Daoyi can't accept Yang Xiaolin as a beast.

"Minister MΓΌmmer, what are you Germans thinking? Weishenme wants to work with that beast? I suppose as a gentleman you should give us an explanation, don't you? ”

At the regular meeting of the ministers of various countries, Sa Daoyi asked Mu Mo in front of all the countries. The British can't accept Yang Xiaolin for the above reasons, first of all, Yang Dagui is a beast, and secondly. He was a beast that could threaten the interests of the British Empire in China, and importantly, he cooperated with the Germans.

And the effect of the cooperation was very obvious, Yang Dagui transferred the jishu of his mines to the Germans. This directly threatens the interests of the British in Europe! directly harmed their allies on the European continent.

The Germans had already placed mines in the German-French border area, not only in front of the French army, but also on some important highways. This led to the fact that the war had not yet been fought. France began to suffer casualties and was in a passive position.

The British, of course, kept the promises of the League. Negotiations in Europe are out of control, but here. He had to show the British side of the gesture. There's nothing to negotiate with Yang Fighting Ghosts, that's a pointless thing. Therefore, Sa Daoyi aimed the contradiction at Mu Mo.

Minister Mummer laughed and snuffed out the cigar he was smoking in the ashtray: "I think you are mistaken, Mr. Sadaoyi, we in Germany have never cooperated with that beast in any way. The German government has been fulfilling our promise not and will not have any form of dealings with that beast. ”

Mr. Mummer said righteously, and then straightened out his clothes: "But you British, I think there is a question that I should ask for my Japanese friends, you weishenme provided the machine for that beast some time ago?" ”

Sa Daoyi found that the eyes of the Japanese were really looking at him. He didn't explain, and slammed the table with his hand: "Mu Mo! We're all diplomats, but for now I ask you to put that away! Some things don't need answers, but some things must be explained! What exactly do you Germans want to do? Don't you know that if that beast grows, it will be a disaster for us? ”

Now that relations between Germany and Britain and France in Europe are becoming more and more rigid, the line-up of the Entente and the Central Powers has basically been determined, and the situation can be described as sabre-rattling. If it were in the past, Sa Daoyi would definitely not speak to Mu Mo in such a tone.

And Mr. Mummer did not leave him the slightest leeway: "I have already explained it to you!" I said that it was Hoffmann's personal behavior, and it had nothing to do with our German government! Isn't your English Robert doing business with that beast too? And the French, the Italians! weishenme they don't need to explain? I ask Mr. Sadaoyi to give me an explanation! ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little unpleasant, Minister Yue Leisar hurriedly came out to play a round: "Okay, two, a few of us are sitting here for the current situation in China!" Now the situation in China is very complicated, that beast controls most of the northeast, we must not let him enter the Guannai, this is related to the interests of all countries in China! Can you put the rest of the stuff on hold for a while? ”

Although the Russians are now following behind Britain and France in Europe, there are irreconcilable contradictions between the Russians and Britain in the question of Asia. The British were always trying to limit Russian expansion in Asia. The alliance between Britain and Japan was directed against Russia, much to the displeasure of the Tsar.

To be honest, the tsar was not interested in the war in Europe. Although the revolution at home had just been extinguished, the situation in Russia was not encouraging. The first thing the tsar thought about was himself. He would be happy to get some benefits from China if he could. After all, it's much easier to get a profit from the guys in Europe.

Sa Daoyi and Mu Mo didn't say anything anymore, diplomacy, you have to know how to go up and down the ladder.

Yue Ressar continued: "That guy killed a Qing Dynasty army in the northeast, China will inevitably change in the near future, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is over, there is no doubt about it. How do we ensure that our interests are not compromised when a new regime is born, and that is the main purpose of our sitting here today, isn't it? ”

Sa Daoyi nodded: "I ask you to be honest, and I will make one thing clear first." We, the British, will never allow that beast to have any voice in China! When China completes the change of dynasty, he must disappear! ”

Mu Mo sneered: "It's not up to us to decide. I remind Mr. Sadaoyi that you British have been saying this for several years to make that beast disappear. ”

Sa Daoyi's body leaned back: "This time it's definitely not just talking!" If there is still Yang fighting ghosts in the new China, it will mean defeat for every country of us! For this reason, I hope that you will stop doing those unpleasant actions, and we must act in unison, when necessary. Any means can be used. ”

He paused here and looked at the ministers around him: "We, the British, will definitely give Yuan Shikai the greatest support to ensure that he can achieve a military victory." ”

The French minister, Bower, went on to say: "We in France say that we will act in unison with the British on the question of China. ”

France. The Germans were defeated. In order to be able to defeat the Germans, France was closely behind the British. Mu Mo sneered: "What do you want to do?" Mr. Sa Daoyi, Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army is not the opponent of that beast. We all know this very well! Even if we put a lot of money, we may not be able to change this outcome. ”

Sa Daoyi's head raised: "I know! So when necessary. We reserve the right to send troops. ”

Mu Mo was shocked when he heard this! Direct troops? Another Eight-Nation Alliance? That is not in the interests of Germany now!

Just as he was about to say something, the Austro-Hungarian minister stood up: "Our king Bixia has given instructions. Although we have no interest in China, we will act in concert with you on the issue of dealing with that beast, and we will not hesitate to send troops directly if we need to. ”

Mu Mo swallowed the words that came to his lips. Just as the British had to support the French, Germany had to support Austria-Hungary, and Germany could not give Austria-Hungary the illusion of opposites. Even their attitude is the same as that of the British on this issue, which shows that Yang Da Ghost guy is really very unpopular.

No way, who let him kill the Austro-Crarian minister with one shot a few years ago? Now he just doesn't want to embarrass him, he can't do it.

Sa Daoyi's eyes looked at Mu Mo: "I hope everyone here can make a commitment to ensure that China can smoothly integrate into civilization, which is the obligation of every one of our countries!" ”

At this point in his words, it is very clear what the so-called obligation is. To put it simply, it is to kill Yang Xiaolin! After hearing this, the Japanese minister stood up with a hula: "We, the Japanese Empire, promise that once the international community needs it, we will spare no effort to do our part!" ”

If Sa Daoyi is only afraid and hateful to Yang Xiaolin, then the Japanese can no longer use the word hatred to describe him, and they can't get rid of their hatred even if they are shot to death! The reason why the Japanese are now honest in Liaoxi is because they do not have the ability to continue fighting.

Moreover, Little Japan has a thorough view of the situation in the Northeast, and they have a profound understanding of Yang Xiaolin's set of policies! If some measures are not taken, then it will not be long before the Northeast is impossible for the Japanese to peep into. This is not in the interests of the Great Japanese Empire, and if anyone is willing to pay for it, if it is really needed by the international community, they will not let go of this opportunity.

U.S. Minister Conger smiled: "Since everyone believes that the right to use force should be reserved, I don't think our U.S. government will give it up." ”

Then, the Italians, the Portuguese, all made representations. Sadaoyi's eyes were fixed on Mumer, waiting for an answer from the Germans. After pondering for a moment, Murmo finally did not stand on the opposite side of civilization: "Okay, we in Germany are in agreement with you on the issue of China. ”

Sa Daoyi smiled: "This is in the interests of all of us!" Okay, gentlemen, sending troops directly is just Zuihou's choice, now we must act as soon as possible, give Yuan Shikai some support, within half a year, we will provide Yuan Shikai with enough guns and funds, so that he can take over China smoothly, and then, let that beast disappear! ”

He was very happy in his heart, and this game could be said to be a complete victory for the British. The first is to safeguard the interests of the British Empire in China. The second was to disrupt the military cooperation between the Volunteers and the Germans. Mu Mo couldn't say anything, he had to follow him, which made Sa Daoyi feel very happy.
