Gu Weijun's words immediately blocked Uchida Yasuya's mouth. The U.S. Congress did not approve the Versailles Peace Treaty at all. The United States drafted a separate contract with Germany. It was obvious that the United States was not satisfied with the handling of the Paris Peace Conference. Without the participation of the United States, this country
Consensus has no value at all!
The muscles on Uchida Yasuya's face twitched slightly and he continued: "The empire is sending tens of thousands of troops to defeat the German army that originally occupied Qingdao. Every inch of Qingdao has the blood of Japanese soldiers. The Japanese empire is absolutely
We will not give up the territory that the soldiers bought with their blood!”
"Shandong is Chinese territory. The Chinese government has never invited the Japanese government to attack the German army. Your behavior is nothing but banditry and the logic behind it is colonial logic. Millions of Chinese soldiers are ready to attack the Japanese soldiers at any time.
Qingdao is blood-stained, it is up to Japan to decide what to do!"
After Gu Weijun finished speaking, he left directly, leaving behind Hughes and Uchida Yasuya. Both the United States and Japan were a little surprised by China's tough attitude. However, as a veteran diplomat, Hughes quickly adjusted his mentality.
This time the Chinese won the victory. This is the power of the winner. There is really no need to be humble..com
"Your Excellency, Foreign Minister, I suggest that your country can make substantial concessions on the China issue. China already has strong strength. It is very important for China to become a great national team and the government of the United States. The president has made a decision.
, at the next international conference, the United States will completely give up all its privileges in China, withdraw from the public concession, and give up the power to station troops. I hope Japan can also make the right decision!"
When Uchida Yasuya heard Hughes's words, his heart twitched. The United States did not have much interest in China to begin with, and it would not hurt if it gave up now. Moreover, it could gain China's favor. And with the strong industrial power of the United States, American products would definitely
It can quickly occupy the Chinese market. The benefits far outweigh the costs. How can Japanese products become popular in China without the protection of privileges?
However, this stance of the United States has already taken a moral advantage. Now the world is extremely disgusted with colonialism. The United States has given up its privileges and has gained an advantage in the international arena. Although this is a jungle era and it is about fists, the fists of both sides are almost the same size.
At that time, public opinion and morality became an important bargaining chip. Can Japan insist on its own way?
"Your Excellency, Secretary of State, Japan will show its sincerity!" Although Uchida Yasuya did not explicitly promise to make any concessions, this attitude still made Hughes very pleased.
"The government of the United States greatly appreciates Japan's intervention in Soviet Russia. It is very necessary to establish a Belarus-led country in the Far East. Japan's having a strong navy is very beneficial to world peace!"
Hughes immediately came up with the terms of exchange. The Russian Far East has formed a three-country game between China, Japan and Russia. The establishment of a Belarusian country under the leadership of the United States is just a bait to let the three countries fall into competition around this land. It can be said that
The abacus is ringing loudly..com
In fact, the United States is preparing to make concessions in the navy to alienate the British. At the same time, it is restrained by China. Even if the Japanese capital expands, it will not threaten the security of the United States. It can be said that the international struggle of World War I has cultivated the United States. The United States has learned
How to create conflicts and take advantage of them is a method that a new overlord must learn.
Uchida Yasuya can also guess the plan of the United States, but the conditions offered by the Americans are too tempting. The Far East represents resources, and the navy is what Japan has been pursuing, especially this time the navy has been hit hard. In order to recover or even
Improving combat effectiveness is impossible without the support of the United States!
After careful discussions in Japan, during the second negotiation, Japan took the initiative to return the power of Shandong to China, and left other rights such as garrisoning troops in the concession to be resolved at the Washington meeting. US Secretary of State Hughes also stated that he would
At the Washington Conference, efforts were made to push all countries to give up their privileges in China.
Gu Weijun also asked the country for instructions, and Qiao Yu said that he could agree, but the troops stationed in various countries must be monitored by the Chinese side, the number of weapons and personnel must be registered by the Chinese side, and any military operations must be registered with the Chinese side!
The request made by Qiao Yu is quite cruel. If all this information is released to China, then what is the point of garrisoning troops? China has already figured out the details! Where is the threat?
However, Gu Weijun did not give in at all. Those garrisoned troops have long been a thorn in the side of the Chinese government and a thorn in the flesh. If they are not driven out now, it will give the United States a face, but China must be allowed to control the situation of the garrison. This is an absolutely irreversible will!
After a fierce debate between the three parties, Japan finally agreed to China's request, and the next issue became extremely troublesome, that is, the three eastern provinces! China demanded that Japan hand over the illegally stolen South Manchuria Railway to China, and at the same time withdraw all
Garrison troops, give up support for the Zongshe Party and other separatist forces, and return Dalian to Port Arthur!
If Japan agrees to these conditions, it will be equivalent to giving up all the hard work of these years. Japan is unwilling to give up no matter what. Closely connected with the problems of the three eastern provinces is the Russian Far East problem, because if you want to intervene in Russia, you must
Using the three eastern provinces as bases, if China and Japan could not coordinate their conflicts well, the two countries would start fighting first and would not have the energy to deal with Soviet Russia.
The United States also had a headache for a while. China insisted that there would be no negotiation on the issue of sovereignty, while Japan was determined not to give up its colonial interests. The peace talks immediately fell into a stalemate!
Qiao Yu is not very worried about this stalemate. Negotiations are inherently bullshit. It would be good for Japan to make concessions honestly. If it is not honest, then it will only go to war. The longer it takes, the better it will be for China.
Qiao Yu is currently more concerned about the movements of the Russian Red Army.
At the end of 1919, with the death of Kolchak, the White Russian forces basically collapsed, and the intervention forces also became fragmented. Since the Red Army in the Far East received strong support from Europe, its power quickly grew, and the strength of the weak
Changes have taken place. The epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases among the Japanese army has not been curbed, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly affected.
In particular, the Far East is extremely cold, and industry and agriculture are underdeveloped. Since Russia is in the middle of a war, the materials it needs mainly need to be obtained from China. Even Japan relies on China for more than half of its military supplies. Now between China and Japan
The conflict broke out, leaving no trust between the two armies who were already suspicious of each other.
The Soviet Union also keenly discovered this situation and tried to take advantage of the contradiction between China and Japan to regain the Far East in one fell swoop. Now that winter has gradually passed. A large-scale war is not far away. China must strengthen its control over the Far East.
!
As Qiao Yu's status rose sharply, it was time to clean up some of the moths. Wang Yongjiang, who was supervising military supplies, was keenly aware of this atmosphere. At this time, he had collected enough evidence, and it was time to take action.
Already.
"Commander Zhang, we have won a beautiful victory at home. We defeated the Japanese combined fleet. This is something worthy of celebration. We are in the Far East and we need to boost our morale. I suggest the whole army celebrate. The soldiers have enough wine and meat.
, let everyone know that China is gradually becoming stronger!"
"Director Wang's approach is good. It's really time to celebrate. Since the Prime Minister came to power, the country has been doing good things one after another. It's really exciting!" Zhang Zuolin agreed repeatedly, but this little man was not an easy man. He won the naval battle of Qingdao.
When the news came, a large-scale propaganda operation was launched in the army. Zhang Zuolin also clearly knew the shock of those soldiers seeing those giant ships being sunk one by one. I am afraid that at that moment, the authority of Zhong Yang
It's deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now this enthusiasm has passed, but why does Wang Yongjiang want to celebrate the whole army? There is obviously something going on, but how smart is little Zhang: If anything happens, it is not directed at me!
Ordinary soldiers naturally don't know what the upper-level plans are. But having wine and meat is definitely a good thing. The Far East is extremely cold. Human consumption is also high, and only carnivores can resist it. Therefore, they can eat meat freely, and naturally everyone applauds.
It turned out that Fengjun's senior officials were all mobilized together to exchange cups and cups together.
However, some people were happy, while others were holding their breath. After drinking a few glasses of wine, Tang Yulin's face turned a little red. He swayed his tall body and ran towards Zhang Zuolin before walking past. He raised his glass and said, "Old pimple."
Son, now you are rich and you are the commander-in-chief. I, Tang Dahu, have not even been able to become the commander of an A-grade division. It is no better than before. Tell me about the time when we kowtowed and worshiped. Didn't you share the blessings and the difficulties?
Dangdang, I have saved your life, now how about you give me the commander-in-chief?"
When Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuoxiang, and others heard that Tang Yulin was speaking no human words, they all came over to persuade him.
"Commander Tang! This is the army, a place where the king's law is enforced. Chief of Staff Wu, Director Wang, Commander Lu, and Commander Liu are all watching here. This is not a church hall for our brothers. Don't be embarrassed here!"
"Fuck you, you surnamed Sun, get out of my way. Tell me why you can become the commander of the Class A division. What is the point where I am worse than you? Stop pretending to be in front of me. Now you have become the commander of the Class A division."
Qiao's Gao Zhi'er, how noble do you think you are? We are all bandits, and what we value is loyalty. He, Zhang Zuolin, is unjust, and you are working for the tiger. Your good military foundation has been ruined by you. Are you worthy of those brothers who work hard for their lives?
?”
Zhang Zuolin's face was also very unhappy, and he shouted sternly: "Fourth brother, this is a military camp, you are a soldier, and you must pay attention to discipline. If you are drunk, you should go and rest quickly!"
"I'm not drunk, I feel clear-headed!"
"Tang Yulin, you are not drunk, but you are guilty of betraying the country, colluding with the Japanese, and attempting to subvert the regime!"
Wang Yongjiang suddenly spoke, and he spoke harshly. Everyone at the scene suddenly fell into a daze. This was not a celebration reception at all, but a Hongmen banquet. However, everyone chose to remain silent. Standing behind Wang Yongjiang was Qiao Qiao.
Yu, now they are not stupid enough to confront Qiao Yu. It depends on how today's matter is handled!
"Director Wang, Mr. Tang just drank too much and talked nonsense. Please don't arbitrarily accuse him!"
"Commander-in-Chief, don't worry, we won't frame people casually without evidence. Since Fengjun captured Hailan, Tang Yulin has resold military supplies to Japan more than 30 times, pocketing 37 million yuan. In the prime minister's case,
Before taking office, the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army had difficulty in supplies and could only eat moldy rice, but Tang Yulin sold the white new rice at a low price to the Japanese. This is a complete moth!"...)
