    Although the ice and snow on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will only melt in May and June, and spring flowers will bloom, the army can set off a month in advance if it enters Tibet. After all, it takes half a month to set off from Chengdu to Ya'an and Dajianlu (now Kangding) at the foot of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.  More than a month.  At this time, the motion, coupled with the preparations before the army set off, the time was stuck very well.

    As for the 48th Mixed Association that enters Tibet from the north, it has already assisted Zhang Shiying and Cheng Ziyin¡¯s 45th Mixed Association in conquering Gansu. It will soon attack Qinghai from Lanzhou and Xining, and then go south to Tibet from Tanggula Pass.  .  It's just that the connection between Qinghai, Gansu and Beijing is cut off by Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, so the news will not reach Yuan Shikai's ears for a while, so Sun Yuanqi is too lazy to bring it up, which can save countless troubles.

    Sun Yuanqi did not mention the issue of loans for disarmament and aftermath, which surprised Yuan Shikai.  After pondering for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid there's something wrong?"

    "What's wrong?" Sun Yuanqi asked.

    Yuan Shikai said: "When the British Minister to China, Juldian, came to visit a month ago, he proposed that the basic condition for the British government to recognize the Republic of China is that the central government is not allowed to interfere in Tibet's internal affairs and the central government is not allowed to maintain unrestricted troops in Lhasa or Tibet. If you dare to march into Tibet  , it is very likely to cause strong protests from the United Kingdom and cause countless troubles. Perhaps Baixi, you will think that I am cowardly and traitorous to my country for glory. In fact, I have no choice but to have difficulties. As the saying goes, "a weak country has no diplomacy", our country's military strength is not as good as that of the United Kingdom.  , France, the United States, Germany, Japan, Russia and other great powers, the government also has to rely on borrowing to survive financially. As a result, it is inevitable that it will have to rely on others and look at others' faces in diplomacy.

    "Furthermore, although Tibet is important, it is located in a remote and border area, so it is still prone to scabies. Moreover, Tibet's mountains are cold, the soil is infertile, and the people are poor, so it relies on the support of the central government. In the current situation where the central government still relies on debt to survive,  What you gain is not enough to be happy, and what you lose is not enough to worry about. Since they want to cause chaos now, let them cause chaos. They can't make any big waves anyway. When the country becomes strong and powerful in thirty to fifty years, it will be able to look down on the European and American powers. Tibet  Naturally, he will take the initiative to surrender!"

    Sun Yuanqi had to admit that what Yuan Shikai said was very reasonable, and in real history, Taizu would indeed tidy up the Tibetan monks thirty to fifty years later.  But with my butterfly, everything is uncertain.  At least because of his own appearance, Wang Handsome has been killed. Chiang Kai-shek and Yan Xishan changed their minds and converted to the New China Party. Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places also changed their hands.  Who knows if history will change if you flap your wings like this?

    In addition, Sun Yuanqi knew that the boundaries of modern countries were mainly established in the fifty years before and after World War I and World War II. As the victors of world wars, they have the power to redraw the boundaries of defeated countries and their occupied areas.  Although the British Empire suffered disastrous victories in both wars, it still has a great say in European and American countries because a tiger cannot defeat it and a donkey cannot defeat it.  In contrast, although China was also the victor in two world wars, its end was much worse.

    When China entered World War I, it was just soy sauce.

    The First World War broke out on July 28, 1914, and China did not declare war on Germany until August 14, 1917. By this time, the war had been going on for more than three years.  One of the reasons why the Beiyang government participated in the war was to obtain Japanese loans and expand its strength to deal with the revolutionary forces led by Sun Yat-sen in the south.  In order to declare war, a series of events such as the dispute between the government and the court and Zhang Xun's restoration were triggered.

    When the First World War ended on November 11, 1918, China, as the victorious country, not only failed to take back all the privileges and interests that Germany had occupied in China before the war, but was instead required by the Treaty of Versailles to seize railways, mines, and telecommunications in Shandong, China.  Equipment, leased land in Jiaozhou area and other privileges and benefits were transferred to Japan

    As for China¡¯s experience in participating in World War II, it is well known that it was the earliest, lasted the longest, had the broadest battlefield, the largest scale of army operations, and suffered the heaviest sacrifices. The last penny of benefits was not reaped!  If Britain now takes the opportunity to meddle in Tibet, China has no hope of regaining its sovereignty through two world wars, and the consequences will be disastrous.

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Since the President is worried that marching into Tibet will trigger strong protests from the United Kingdom, then we in Sichuan will handle this matter secretly. If Mr. Zhu Erdian has any objections, you can ask him to come to me directly. Anyway, we in Sichuan have no use for them and the British.  Even if you split the money, you won¡¯t be afraid of them making things difficult for you!¡±

    Yuan Shikai smiled bitterly and said: "Baixi, you are not only the governor of Sichuan, but also the director-general of education in the cabinet. Every move you make not only represents Sichuan, but also represents the cabinet. Do you think Minister Zhu Erdian will believe that the invasion of Tibet was a private move by Sichuan?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Why don't Mr. Zhu Erdian believe it? He has been in China for thirty or forty years, so he naturally knows what it means to say that "the general is out, and the military order is different."To put it bluntly, it is just a pile of waste paper. Using it to buy something is equivalent to robbery by open fire.  In comparison, Huaxi Bank's silver coins are considered the most fair, so they have won widespread recognition from society and quickly circulated in the Yangtze River Basin and even across the country.

    In other words, the success of Huaxi Bank now lies in its fairness, not in whether the central government grants currency issuance rights.  Huaxi Bank does not have the right to issue currency, but I want to issue currency. What can the central government do to me?

    Now Sichuan and Shaanxi are about to send troops to Tibet, what can your central government do to me?

    Sun Yuanqi suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder who the president wants to recommend?"

    Yuan Shikai said: "Chen Chen and Chen Yangzhuo! When Chen Yangzhuang studied in the Capital University in the 25th year of Guangxu's reign, he studied literature with Baixi, so he can be regarded as your student. His uncle was Chen Wenqi, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry.  Duke (Chen Xuefen) once participated in the revolution and also served in the Xiliang shogunate. Before Dingge, he served as the commander of the 20th town and the general office of the military affairs department. Now he is idle at home. I think he has rare talents, so I asked him to  Baixi solemnly recommends it.¡±

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from Chen Huan  Letting Chen Chen enter Sichuan was nothing more than Yuan Shikai's attempt to use the three major political strategies of Taizu to add sand and poaching, in an attempt to turn Sichuan into the Yuan clique's sphere of influence.

    Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "The post of governor cannot be determined. Since the president recommends it, let him be appointed as the Western Sichuan Observer!"

    The so-called observation envoys are the renamed "fenxundao" and "fenshoudao" in the Qing Dynasty. They are similar to the local officials who are one level higher than the city officials in later generations.  At this time, there were five observation envoys in Sichuan: Eastern Sichuan, Western Sichuan, Northern Sichuan, Upper Sichuan South, and Lower Sichuan South, which were considered to be quite large officials.  It's just that Western Sichuan is adjacent to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains. It has a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and many ethnic groups. When Chen He took up a post there, he didn't have to worry about him causing any trouble.

    Yuan Shikai said: "Chen Yangzhao is such a talented person, he must at least be the Secretary of Internal Affairs!"

    Sun Yuanqi thought for a long time before replying: "Okay, then I'll be the Secretary of Internal Affairs."

    Hearing this, Yuan Shikai picked up his pen and wrote in large characters on the disarmament and aftermath loan bill:
