() In fact, when Wilson submitted the troop withdrawal proposal to the House of Representatives and the Senate, Liu Fu knew the news in Taiwan. The person who conveyed the news was of course the British Baron David Warburg who had lived in the United States for a long time.
After George V ascended the throne, David was awarded a knighthood by his king as a person who had made great contributions to the country and the world.
After Liu Fu received the news, he was very excited. Seeing that several years of hard work had finally come to fruition, Liu Fu held a secret meeting in the conference room of the Presidential Palace. On that day, Liu Fu held a secret meeting in the conference room of the Presidential Palace.
Only a few persons in charge of Taiwan’s military and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were involved in this plan.
At the beginning of the meeting, Liu Fu first told everyone about the U.S. government's proposal. After a brief moment of joy, Liu Fu asked everyone present to immediately start formulating a plan. The ultimate goal was to occupy the U.S. without overly irritating the Americans.
Philippine Islands.
According to Liu Fu's own opinion, when the "Filipino" organization negotiates with the Americans, the most basic requirement is that all U.S. troops must withdraw from the Philippine Islands, and the "Filipino" organization will establish a new du Lizheng Fu on the islands.
As for this government, after its establishment, it can maintain normal national relations and economic exchanges with the United States, but it will not take orders from the U.S. government. As for if the Americans propose to lease ports or station navy, etc., they will not be allowed and will not be discussed.
Regarding Liu Fu's proposal, some people in the military and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were also worried about what would happen if the Americans were forced too hard and they did not withdraw their troops. Liu Fu was also worried about this situation, but considering the current situation of the U.S. government and the
Regarding the current situation on the Philippine Islands, Liu Fu decided to take a gamble. Not only would he force the Americans to withdraw their troops, but he would also take over the Philippine Islands completely and no longer give the Americans a reason to return.
After setting this big framework, the task of negotiating with the Americans was handed over to the Ministry of the Interior. However, in order to give the Americans more strength, the Ministry of the Interior will control the "Filipino" organization and wait for opportunities on Luzon Island.
Surround a city where US troops are stationed, launch a limited attack on the city, and use more corpses of US soldiers to urge the US delegation to start negotiations as soon as possible.
Just when Liu Fu turned his attention to the United States and the Philippines, several major events occurred within the Republic of China. First, Song Jiaoren was assassinated in Shanghai in March. Then, during the investigation by all parties, first the Progressive Party formed by Yuan Shikai
The president of the association, Ying Guixin, was identified by the murderer, and then the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Hong Shuzu and the Prime Minister of the Cabinet were implicated in looking for Chengcheng.
After Song Jiaoren was assassinated, the Beiyang Group headed by Yuan Shikai and the Southern Group headed by Sun Yat-sen completely fell out. After Sun Yat-sen returned to Shanghai, he openly advocated using force to defeat Yuan at the Kuomintang Congress. However, Yuan Shikai ignored the opposition of the Kuomintang.
Privately borrowed money from Britain, France and other countries to strengthen the Beiyang Army.
In June, Yuan Shikai removed Li Liejun, the governor of Jiangxi, Hu Hanmin, the governor of Guangdong, and Bai Wenwei, the governor of Anhui, from their posts in bei jing, and asked Li Chun to lead the Beiyang Sixth Division to station in Jiangxi.
In July, under the instructions of Sun Yat-sen, Li Liejun returned to Jiangxi from Shanghai, summoned his old troops in Hukou, established the general headquarters of the army to fight against Yuan, and sent out power to the outside world to announce the fight against Yuan. Subsequently, Huang Xing announced in Jiangsu that Jiangsu du li, Anhui Bai
Wen Wei, Shanghai Chen Qimei, Hunan Tan Yankai, Fujian Xu Chongzhi and Sun Daoren, Sichuan Xiong Kewu, Guangdong Chen Jiongming all announced du
li, while Zhejiang Zhu Rui and Yunnan Cai E declared neutrality.
At this time, the situation in the Republic of China seemed to have returned to the stage when the revolution had just begun. All the southern provinces declared du li and fought against the central government. However, the central government at this time was no longer the weak Qing court, but Yuan Shikai, the leader of the Beiyang Army.
Man. It is not easy for the Yuan Army, which is composed of a group of semi-professionals and amateurs, to win in a head-on confrontation with the Beiyang Army, which is composed of professional soldiers as its backbone.
In the subsequent military confrontation between the two sides, first the Yuan army in Jiangsu and Shanghai was defeated by Feng Guozhang's Beiyang Second Army and Zhang Xun's Wuwei Forward Army, forcing Huang Xing to flee. Then the Gui Army's Long Jiguang Division, which supported Yuan Shikai, captured
In Guangzhou City, Li Chun's troops conquered Wuchang, and Zhang Xun's troops conquered Nanjing. Seeing that the Beiyang army was overwhelming, and Yuan's army was retreating steadily, various places announced the cancellation
Fu jurisdiction, while Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, Chen Qimei and others were wanted by the government of the Republic of China and were forced to flee to Japan.
In October 1913, Yuan Shikai, who possessed absolute force, was elected by Congress as the first formal president of the Republic of China. The next day, the ministers of 13 countries including Britain and France recognized Yuan Shikai's government in the Republic of China, but the government of Taiwan was not
Then it became silent.
One month after Lao Yuan ascended to the presidency, he announced the dissolution of the Kuomintang on the charge of "rebellion" and expelled the Kuomintang members from the Congress. The Congress was unable to function due to insufficient numbers, and Yuan soon announced its dissolution.
Just as the negotiations on the Philippines were being held in Manila, and the Republic of China government and the southern provinces began to use force again, Liu Fu was attracted by another incident. Intelligence sent back by the European unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated that the Balkan Peninsula
The fight started again.
In early 1912, Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and other countries formed an alliance to defeat the Ottoman Turks. If Germany, Austria-Hungary and the Russians had not intervened for their own interests, there would probably have been no Turkey in the future.
This country, this war, caused Turkey to lose all of its European territory.
At the beginning of the development of these countries, Liu Fu paid close attention to them for a long time. Finally, he was sure that this was not the beginning of World War I, and he felt relieved again. Who knew that just a year later, these countries started fighting again, but
This time it was no longer a joint attack by several countries on Turkey, but Serbia, Greece, Romania, and Turkey working together to attack Bulgaria. In the end, Bulgaria was humiliated and lost its territory, and the Treaty of Bucharest was signed as a last resort.
Liu Fu has little interest in the several small countries on the Balkan Peninsula. The ethnic issues in this place can be traced back thousands of years. In addition, there are no good neighbors around. Sometimes the Germans are sowing discord, and sometimes the Russians are sowing discord.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire came to stir up trouble again. As a result, there were territorial disputes among the countries here, and ethnic issues became increasingly serious. Therefore, later generations gave this place a vivid name, called - the Balkan Powder Keg.
.
Liu Fu was not interested in this powder keg, but he was very concerned about what happened after the explosion. Through this war, Liu Fu clearly felt that the war was getting closer, and by calculating the age of Archduke Ferdinand
,Liu Fu also knew that this
It was almost time for the unlucky crown prince to be assassinated. Since various signs indicate that this war will break out within a few years, Liu Fu has to make some preparations in order to protect himself, Taiwan, and even Taiwan in this war.
