    After seeing Harhausen off, Yang Du asked curiously: "Baixi, what did you and that foreigner say just now?"

    It turns out that for the sake of confidentiality, Hahausen came to Taiyuan alone, without even a translator.  The conversation with Sun Yuanqi was in English, from my mouth to your ears, and it was indeed kept extremely confidential. Even Tang Shouqian and Yang Du who were listening on the side felt that it was obscured by the clouds and they could not understand what was being said.  Sun Yuanqi immediately recounted roughly the content of the conversation between the two.

    After listening to Sun Yuanqi's translation, Tang Shouqian asked with some confusion: "Now Qingdao is indeed quite large under the management of the Germans. It is not too much for them to ask for 4.2 million yuan. After all, those buildings were built with real money invested by them.  This amount of money may be a lot or a lot less, but we can still squeeze it out as long as we are a little frugal, why doesn¡¯t Baixi agree to him?¡±

    Sun Yuanqi said: "What Zhe Weng said is right. They did spend energy and money to build those buildings, but the mineral resources and people's wealth they grabbed from the Jiao'ao area definitely far exceed this amount! This is equivalent to the bullies taking our land.  He used our property to renovate the house, and when he finally left, he asked us to take money to redeem the house. How could it be unreasonable in the world? And they are giving up Qingdao now, not out of kindness, but out of kindness.  Japan was sharpening its sword against him. He thought to himself that the major general was unable to cope with the shortage of troops. Instead of letting Japan go in vain, it would be better to sell it to China. Not only could he take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, but he could also escape safely. In this case, why should we be anxious?  "

    Tang Shouqian said: "It is true that as Bai Xi said, Qingdao is now like a hot potato to Germany. Not only are they afraid of being snatched away by Japan for nothing, but they also want to sell it at a good price. The longer it takes, the lower their offer will inevitably be, and it will not be good for us.  More advantageous. But we also have to think about another question: If Qingdao is returned to our country before the European War, wouldn¡¯t Japan have no excuse to interfere in Shandong and invade our country? If we really go to war with Japan in Shandong, our military expenditures and property  The loss is more than just 4.2 million yuan!"

    Sun Yuanqi was suddenly stunned: Isn¡¯t it true what Tang Shouqian said?  I have always felt that Japan would take action against China, especially Shandong, which they have coveted for a long time, but there must be a reason to take action, so Japan will direct and act on its own to blow up the South Manchuria Railway near Liutiao Lake and provoke "  "September 18th Incident"; then they fabricated the disappearance of Japanese soldiers during the exercise.  Provoked the "July 7th Incident"; only then would the Nichiren Sect monks be encouraged to provoke the Sanyou Industrial Society volunteer team and provoke the "January 28th Incident" If Qingdao was annexed to China now, would Japan still have a reason to send troops?

    Yang Du shook his head from the side: "What Zhiweng said is too naive. Do you think Japan will not send troops without an excuse to intervene? From the "Three Civil Treaties" signed by Japanese Minister Yamaza Enjiro and Zhao Zhian  It can be seen that Japan has been planning for a full-scale invasion of China for a long time. Once the European War breaks out, the European and American powers will have no time to look back. Japan can do whatever they want, and they will definitely not miss such a God-given opportunity. Isn¡¯t it easy to find a reason to send troops? Want to accuse them?  , why bother!

    "If we keep Qingdao now, we can at least know the direction of Japan's attack in advance, and then actively prepare and concentrate our elite forces in Shandong in advance. Occupy the right location and people, and fight a well-prepared battle. If we can take Qingdao in advance,  , who knows where Japan will stir up trouble, Northeast? Tianjin? Shanghai? Fujian? By then we will be unprepared and defenseless, and the quality of our soldiers is not as good as Japan's. If we continue to run around exhausted, what are our chances of winning in the end?"

    Tang Shouqian suddenly realized: "That's it! If I keep Qingdao, I have the initiative to choose the battlefield. If I don't keep Qingdao, the initiative to choose the battlefield lies with them. After weighing the pros and cons, it is best to leave the Qingdao issue undecided. Baixi  As expected, the thought is far-reaching, beyond the reach of Tang Mou!¡±

    Sun Yuanqi wanted to say something in his heart: I am innocent, I am just a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse!

    Yang Du waved his fan again and said: "Although Shandong will become Japan's first choice battlefield if the Qingdao issue remains unresolved, the Japanese are stubborn and will not give up until they achieve their goals. Once they lose in Shandong, they will inevitably  Thoroughly arouse their bloody spirit, and use all the strength of the country to fight to the death! If Yang is a Japanese, he will definitely leave a small number of troops in Shandong to contain them, and then the main force will be divided into two groups, all the way from North Korea, Jilin, and Fengtian.  Pushing the capital and shaking the country's foundation; heading all the way from the sea to Shanghai, and then going up the river to capture Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other wealthy places, cutting off the country's lifeline.

    "Furthermore, Sun Yat-sen has a close relationship with the Japanese government. After Japan occupies the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, it can completely use the revolutionary party's huge influence in Jiangnan to push Sun Yat-sen out to form a government. Only then will we be in the most critical moment! If we can't survive this  Festival, it will be difficult for us to recover for at least three to five years; but as long as we get through it, the glory of little Japan in the past twenty or thirty years will be completely over, and we will be like a flying dragon in the sky that cannot be copied, that is, in the future, Britain, France, Russia,  ?The great powers have withdrawn from the European war, and they are helpless against us in East Asia!  "

    Sun Yuanqi couldn't help but be alarmed: In real history, wasn't it exactly what Yang Du said when Japan invaded China, using the tactics of outflanking the north and the south and attacking from both sides?  Fighting all the way from the three eastern provinces and Hebei to the south, all the way from Shanghai to capture Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China at the time, and then crossing the river to the north. If Li Zongren hadn't commanded the army to fight in Xuzhou in a bloody battle, defeating the Japanese army that moved south from Hebei and Shandong, the two Japanese armies would have been defeated.  The armies almost successfully joined forces in the Huanghuai area and swallowed up nearly 30 divisions and more than 300,000 officers and soldiers in the fifth theater!

    Sun Yuanqi thought for a while and then replied: "Shanghai should be better, because Qingdao is only 700 kilometers away from Shanghai, and planes can take off at any time for support; ground troops can also use the Jinpu Line and the Shanghai-Nanjing Line for transportation, which is the fastest  It can be deployed on the Songhu battlefield within four or five days; although the navy is not worth mentioning now, it is better than nothing, and it can also play a certain role in covering the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. The most worrying thing is the Northeast!"

    Tang Shouqian also greatly agreed: "In the Ming Dynasty, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas were heavily invaded by Japanese pirates. The people are still gnashing their teeth against Japan. Moreover, it was within the flight range, so the Japanese army did not dare to act rashly! But the situation in the Northeast is very different, with high mountains and dense forests and sparsely populated areas.  ; Tigers and leopards are everywhere, and bandits are everywhere; the people are disobedient to the king, and the officials are arrogant and indulgent. In addition, Japan has been operating there for ten years. It is difficult for us to get involved, not to mention that it is only a short distance from the capital! There is a little bit in the northeast  Whenever there is a disturbance, the officials and people in the capital will be shaken.

    ¡°In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the capital was established as a capital, with the idea that ¡®the emperor guards the gates of the country, and the king dies in the country¡¯ to warn future emperors not to forget danger and survival, but in the past five or six hundred years, they also suffered from all the Tatars and Tatars from the north.  The Oaras in the northwest, the Jurchens in the northeast, the rogue bandits in the west, and the sea in the west have all made us barely live a peaceful life for a few days. Now it¡¯s our turn to have restless nights and unsatisfactory meals!"

    Sun Yuanqi asked Yang Du humbly: "What is Xizi's wisdom?"

    Yang Du closed the folding fan with a "clatter" and then replied calmly: "Although there are bandits and policemen in the capital from time to time, they are 'born in trouble and die in peace and happiness', so both the Ming and Qing dynasties enjoyed Zuo for nearly three hundred years.  This is enough to show that the royal spirit here is strong. At present, the government of the Republic of China has established its capital in Beijing. The Presidential Palace, the State Council, the National Assembly, and even Li Huangpi, Duan Zhiquan and others are all in the capital. For the sake of legitimacy, we may stay in Taiyuan for too long. But now  The armies of Beiyang are swarming the capital, and for the sake of our lives and property, we cannot rush into the capital. So what should we do?

    "As the situation in Northeast China is tense at the moment, Bai Xi might as well send a telegram to Li Huangpi, Duan Qirui and other generals of the Army's 2nd Division (stationed in Baoding), 4th Division (stationed in Tianjin), 10th Division (stationed in Beiyuan), and 3rd Division near Gyeonggi.  The mixed brigade (stationed in Nanyuan) and other troops will be transferred to the Northeast in batches. In the future, ammunition, food and wages will be distributed in the Northeast. I think they will understand what you mean, Baixi!"

    Tang Shouqian couldn't help but raise his thumb: "Killing two birds with one stone, killing two eagles with one stone, it is indeed a wise idea!"

    Yang Du continued: "Although the expected battle between China and Japan was initially just for Shandong, as the situation evolves, it will definitely eventually become a battle for the national destiny of China and Japan. From the current point of view, our advantage mainly lies in our ability to  The battlefield is preset in advance, and there are many killer weapons such as aircraft and tanks. However, the factors for victory are not only the right location and good weapons, but also the timing, people and people! We must fully understand our own weaknesses so that we can remedy them in time, use our strengths and avoid weaknesses, and  Avoid the real and attack the weak.

    "Then what are our weaknesses? Of course we can list many, such as the quality of Japanese soldiers is better, the level of Japanese industry is higher, the navy is stronger, etc. But Yang wants to say it is not these, but  Another aspect, and the most important aspect, is that although Bai Xi¡¯s status among the people, especially among young students, is unmatched, your influence is far less than that of Emperor Taisho among the Japanese.  Power! Why do you say that?

    "First of all, Baixi, you have a deeper influence on scholars, especially young scholars. Your influence on ordinary people is limited to the western provinces where land tax is exempted, but it is particularly mediocre in North China provinces such as Zhili, Henan, Shandong, and Jiangnan and Southwest provinces; for ordinary people,  The influence of the backbone of society, that is, the gentry class in their forties and fifties, became even weaker. The influence of Emperor Taisho on the Japanese people was from top to bottom, penetrating into every corner of society.

    "Secondly, Baixi's influence on ordinary citizens is limited to promoting education, enlightening people's intelligence, exempting them from taxes, and benefiting people's livelihood. For young students, perhaps kindness, righteousness, and personality charm can be used to attract them to join the army and serve in the army.  Die, but their loyalty and trust in you has limits, and they may be suspicious or even betrayed at any time because of something. As for the Japanese people, as long as the emperor gives an order, they can live and die for it, without any need for anything.  There is no reason, and there is no doubt or concern!¡±
