Things develop like what Murphy¡¯s theorem says: If you are worried about something happening, then it is more likely to happen.
Just when Sun Yuanqi was worried, Yuan Shikai approved Zhao Bingjun's resignation with lightning speed, and then quickly nominated Sun Yuanqi as the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Congress also changed from its previous procrastination and passed the proposal with a high vote in just three or two days. In this way, Sun Yuanqi became the third prime minister of the Republic of China after Tang Shaoyi and Zhao Bingjun, and also the first prime minister officially elected by the parliament.
Sun Yuanqi originally thought that he would be nervous and frightened after learning the news of becoming prime minister, but he did not expect that when the moment actually arrived, he would feel calm. A man meditated alone in his study for a long time, and then issued his first order after taking office as prime minister: Jiang Zhiqing was ordered to quickly relinquish his post as governor of Sichuan and go to Beijing as soon as possible to take up the post of chief of the navy; the vacated governor of Sichuan was taken over by Yan Xishan, governor of Shanxi; Governor Zhao Xingzhi was transferred to Shanxi, Governor Zhang Yuhe of Gansu was transferred to Shaanxi, and the post of Governor of Gansu was taken over by Cheng Ziyin, commander of the First Division of the Gansu Army. All transferred officials are only allowed to bring five attendants and are required to arrive within ten days for handover. Violators will be severely punished.
After sending the telegram, someone was sent to invite Yang Du.
As soon as they met, Yang Du saluted with joy and said: "Bai Xi was elected as the Prime Minister today, and Yang, an old Huainan chicken and dog, is honored! I should have prepared a few small gifts to express my congratulations, but Bai Xi suddenly ordered someone to I summoned you in such a hurry that I couldn¡¯t make preparations. Please forgive me." Yang Du was so happy. In addition to the reason that "one person achieved the Tao, a chicken and a dog ascended to heaven", it was also because he was the first person summoned by Sun Yuanqi after he became prime minister. It can be seen from this Sun Yuanqi trusted and valued him.
Sun Yuanqi quickly helped Yang Du up: "When did Xizi become so clich¨¦?"
After the two of them walked into the study arm-in-arm, Sun Yuanqi said with a wry smile, "Sun has not been separated from the assassination of Song Dunchu, and now he has promoted Sun to the throne of prime minister. Yuan Xiangcheng is not trying to promote Sun. He clearly wants to put Sun on the stove to roast him! At this time, at home, Bai Lang is causing trouble and Sun Yat-sen is promoting chaos. Abroad, the United Kingdom is occupying the territory, and Russia is supporting Outer Mongolia. In addition, the finance is unable to make ends meet. It is so easy to be the prime minister. Is that so? In my opinion, this Prime Minister is just a piece of shit. He looks glamorous on the outside, but is actually a ball of rotten grass on the inside!"
Yang Du shook his folding fan and said: "Whether the position of Prime Minister is a donkey shit egg or a gold ingot, Baixi, since you are the Prime Minister now, you can no longer complain, because complaining can't solve any problems. There is time to complain, It¡¯s better to think about how to solve these problems. I heard that Baek Hee was elected prime minister with a high vote. Since the members of Congress trust you so much, you should do something to repay it, right?¡±
Sun Yuanqi sighed: "Why doesn't Mr. Sun know this truth? It's just that the situation is so corrupt now. Even if Mr. Sun is determined to serve his country, he may not be able to save himself!"
Yang Du closed the paper fan with a bang: "Bai Xi came to Yang, could it be to listen to your complaints?"
Sun Yuanqi then cheered up and said, "Make Xizi laugh! Sun invited Xizi here mainly to prepare for a rainy day. He wanted to sort out the recent major domestic and international events with Xizi. He first came up with a rough procedure to avoid being in a hurry. . Before that, I need to inform Xizi about the conclusion that the China Policy Research Institute of Jingshi University and relevant American think tanks have just reached."
Seeing Sun Yuanqi's serious attitude, Yang Du was not only curious: "Oh? The conclusion reached by the China Policy Research Institute? Was it researched by Liang Zhuoru?"
Sun Yuanqi shook his head: "It's not Liang Zhuoru, it's someone else. This conclusion is top secret. Apart from Sun, you are the third Chinese to learn the news." The second person is naturally Lilith who is far away in Shanghai. . Then he added: "According to research, in July and August next year, a highly destructive large-scale war will break out in Europe. Great powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Austria will be involved in it, and will gradually spread to To the whole world. This world war will last four to five years and completely change the world structure!"
Yang Du was startled, and then asked: "Is it a war between the three alliance countries and the three allied countries?"
Although the names of the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers are well known because of World War I, their origins are very early. Like the "Allied Powers", the German Empire concluded a secret German-Austrian Alliance with the Austro-Hungarian Empire as early as 1879, and then formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Italy in 1881 to form the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria, and Italy; while the "Entertainment Powers" can It dates back to the "Franco-Russian Alliance" between France and Russia in 1892 and the "Sincere Agreement" signed between Britain and France in 1904. In 1907, due to the threat from Germany, France, Britain and Russia formally formed the "Triple Entente". Europe has since been divided into two camps.
Contradictions among the European powers have existed for a long time. With the establishment of the two major camps of the Allies and the Entente, the conflicts haveThe shield intensified and gradually escalated. In 1913, the smell of gunpowder could be smelled across the Atlantic, and any disturbance could turn into a world war. There were also numerous reports on radio and newspapers in various countries. It was not surprising that Yang Du knew about it. What really surprised him was that Sun Yuanqi had another top adviser. That person could even predict the specific time when the war broke out!
Sun Yuanqi said: "Exactly! Research results show that the Allies will gain a certain advantage in the early days of the war, but then a stalemate will occur. This situation will probably last one to two years, and then the United States will join the Allied Powers and completely defeat the Allies. Here There are two points that deserve our attention most during the process. First, Russia will be violently attacked by Russia. Although the situation may improve later, the probability of a domestic revolution is very high; second, Japan will join the Allies and declare war on Germany, but the combat objectives It is very likely to capture the German-controlled Qingdao and then threaten the entire territory of Shandong."
In order to enable Yang Du to make correct decisions in future domestic and international events, rather than simply discussing matters and being content with intrigues and intrigues, Sun Yuanqi did not hesitate to reveal more violent news.
Yang Du immediately asked: "It was because you expected Japan to attack Qingdao that you dispatched Chiang Kai-shek to be the chief of the navy?"
Sun Yuanqi said: "There must be some considerations in this regard!"
Yang Du asked again: "Besides the reason why the United States joined the Allied Powers, Baixi, what do you think is the main reason why the Allies won first and then lost?"
"There are many reasons! For example, the Allies' own industrial base is relatively weak, their overseas colonies are relatively small, and the navy is difficult to compete with the Allies, which leads to resource shortages in the later stages of the war and weakens war potential. The strength of the Allied countries is also uneven, and the strongest Germany has less room to move. It is small and faces the crisis of fighting on two fronts; Italy, the weakest, is two-faced and can easily hold back. Of course, the most important external factor is probably the United States' participation in the war." Sun Yuanqi didn't know much about this and could only find the reasons based on the results.
Yang Du thought for a moment and said: "According to the research conclusion just now, since the Allies had the advantage in the early stages of the war, and then the stalemate lasted for one or two years, it is enough to show that the Allies have hope of victory. As Bai Xi said, the most important thing is The external factor is probably the United States' participation in the war. However, the United States did not support the Allied Powers from the beginning. It first wanted to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and take advantage of it. Only at the last critical moment did it intervene and make the final decision.
"But it can be seen that our Chinese factors were not taken into account in the entire speculation process. If we had foreseen it, intervened at the beginning of the war and actively supported the Allies, would the situation of the war have been reversed? You said that the reason for the Allies' defeat was the war There will be a shortage of resources in the later period, but we in China are rich in resources! You said that Germany is facing the crisis of fighting on two fronts. We can attack Russia from the east to respond. Anyway, Russia has been China's life-or-death enemy since Kangxi! If we join hands with Germany to defeat Japan in Qingdao , you can also forgive the debts from the Treaty of Xinchou and claim back the indemnities from the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which will greatly ease the government¡¯s financial pressure!¡±
Sun Yuanqi was shocked: "Do we support the Allies? What if the Allies are defeated in the end? Xizi, you have to know that the United States' total industrial output ranked first in the world twenty years ago. It has advanced technology and complete categories. , rich in resources, strong production strength, and high labor productivity, its war potential is far beyond the reach of poor and backward China! With our current strength, it is simply insignificant in a world-scale war; only the strength of the United States is the decisive factor in war The weight of victory or defeat!
"In Sun's view, our best strategy is to follow the example of the United States, remain neutral in the early stages of the war, sell war materials to the two major camps of the Entente and the Central Powers, and make war profits; and by the way, take advantage of the time when the Western powers have no time to look east, and level the country. Separate regimes and complete the reunification of the country. When the war is about to end, declare to join the Allied Powers and become one of the victorious countries to see what benefits can be gained. In this way, there will be no rebellion internally and no fear of powerful enemies externally. After 20 years of development, the country will definitely become prosperous and strong. prosperity."
Yang Du asked back: "What if Japan attacks Qingdao and threatens the entire territory of Shandong? What if Russia supports the independence of Outer Mongolia? What if the British army seizes Yunnan?"
Sun Yuanqi was immediately speechless.
Yang Du was not complacent, and then said: "Of course, there is no rush to answer this question. After all, it is still a year before the expected war breaks out. We can think about it carefully. However, Baixi mentioned the outbreak of the European War and will Lasting for four or five years, it has provided us with a brand-new method to solve many current problems. For example, when Yuan Xiangcheng signed the "Big Loan for the Aftermath", people used to think that the amount was too huge and would be very difficult to repay in the future, so they tended to reduce the borrowing; now You can confidently and boldly borrow large amounts of money, and at worst, you can repay it in kind when the war breaks out, or you can deliberately default on it, or even directly use it as war reparations as a victorious country after the war.
"Another example is the issue of Russia's support for the independence of Outer Mongolia and the British army's occupation of Yunnan. We can not rush to solve it now, but use the word 'drag' to delay the discussion until Britain and Russia are trapped in the quagmire of war. By then, we will ensure that we will get twice the result with half the effort. . We can use one or two years to expand the army as much as possible and concentrate on solving domestic problems, waiting for the outbreak of war in Europe. As the saying goes, 'In order to fight against foreign aggression, we must first settle down at home'!"
