Chapter 115 Declaration of War on Japan
On August 12, 1915, the Beiyang government in Beijing built fortifications in Langfang, and at the same time the First Army marched towards Beijing. At this time, the entire city of Beijing was already boiling, with swastika flags and five-clawed golden dragons everywhere. At the same time, Duan Qirui announced a major decision to the entire city of Beijing and even the entire Beiyang Army, that is, the Beiyang Government would cancel the title of Government Fu, the Beiyang Army would be reorganized into the 11th Group Army of the National Defense Forces, and Feng Guozhang would become the commander-in-chief. Although this decision made many Beiyang The soldiers of the Beiyang Army felt that they had no future, but more soldiers of the Beiyang Army were eager to try to see if they could squeeze into the quota of 100,000 people.
"In view of the damage caused by the domestic melee to the people and production, the Beiyang Government sent a nationwide telegram on August 12, 1915, abolishing the government and merging it with the Jiangsu and Anhui Government to jointly address the outside world and condemn all betrayals of national interests in exchange for peace. Rich traitor."
At the same time, the Jiangsu and Anhui Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a press conference, and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Chiang Kai-shek delivered a speech.
In the diplomatic building, hundreds of reporters and consulates from various countries arrived. Chiang Kai-shek stood on the podium and loudly said: "We are in a civil war. This is our country's internal affairs. Japan and Russia have no reason to interfere in our country." The internal affairs are really a great shame and humiliation for our country. Today, our Jiangsu and Anhui government, China's current supreme leader, commander-in-chief of the armed services, and head of state Deng Sen issued the highest political order, that is, from now on, we will be at war with Japan and Russia. At the same time, we will be at war with Japan. Russia is an eternal enemy. For anyone who dares to trample on the dignity of our Han people, our Chinese government, national defense force, and SS will punish them thoroughly. From the same day, Japanese merchant ships and warships are prohibited from passing through our domestic and South China Sea waters. To be sunk on the spot. At the same time, in the war between China and Japan and Russia, I hope that any country will intervene. Anyone who interferes or participates in the war is my sworn enemy. At the same time, our Chinese government has issued diplomatic rules, that is, The principle of diplomacy of the same level was announced at the same time, and the French ambassador Ayler was expelled, France was asked to replace its plenipotentiary ambassador, and it was requested to send an ambassador with gentlemanly qualities.
On August 12, our Jiangsu and Anhui governments merged with the Beiyang government to establish the Chinese Provisional Government. Our government represents the interests of China. Our government has the independent right to declare war. We submit persuasion, dispatch ambassadors and I urge you to break off diplomatic relations, and at the same time not recognize any unequal treaties imposed on the Tungus Manchus, Qing Dynasties and the Beiyang government by any country in the past, and take back any territory lost since the Ming Dynasty!
At the same time, all foreigners in China are exempted from criminal immunity. Anyone who dares to engage in criminal activities in our country will be punished by our laws.
In addition, in response to the request from Britain and France to cease cooperation with Thailand, China is an independent country and Thailand is an ally of China. Our country rejects this request, but in order to quell the war in Myitkyina, we propose that At present, only territorial boundaries have been drawn on the battlefield, and conflicts must be stopped immediately. As a new, powerful, and prosperous country, China will lead East Asia to prosperity while maintaining peace in the region! "
Chiang Kai-shek¡¯s words surprised all the foreigners present. If China¡¯s declaration of war on Japan and Russia was reasonable, his handling of Thailand was unbelievable. Does China want to challenge Britain, France, Russia, and Japan at the same time? An alliance with Germany?
Yes, China has become the strongest country in East Asia, but it is far behind the huge Britain. It is not a wise move to conflict with Britain and France on this matter.
"Mr. Jiang, I am a reporter from the American Times. Josephine, I would like to ask, after the reunification of China, has the policy towards foreign investors changed?" There is only one American newspaper stationed in China, and their main function is to provide services for foreign investors in China. American businessmen with interests pass on the message.
Chiang Kai-shek, after hearing the question, thought for a moment and smiled and said: "Miss Josephine, as an honest and democratic country, China maintains its original foreign trade policy without any change, but recently several British and American banks have The emergence of serious financial cases has made our citizens suspicious of American and British banks. This part of the issue has been handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Our Ministry of Justice will contact the US government, but other aspects have not changed, which means that the interests of American businessmen are in China will be guaranteed."
"Thank you!" Josephine said thank you after recording the speech, and then sat down.
"Mr. Jiang, what punishments have been given to Japanese businessmen in China?" A British reporter stood up. There are still many British reporters in China.
After Chiang Kai-shek heard the question, he immediately replied: "We will freeze the funds of Japanese businessmen in China and investigate their cases. If they are not spies, they will be released and 10% of the funds will be returned. We will certainly We are currently at war with Japan and it is impossible to allow supplies to be exported.stream, so other amounts could only be returned to them after the war was over. "
"Mr. Jiang, I am French journalist Nazarene. I would like to ask, which side does China stand on the Thai issue?" A Frenchman also stood up and asked.
"As for the Thailand issue, first of all, Thailand is our country's only ally and one of the main countries maintaining the stability of Myitkyina in Southeast Asia. Our country signed an alliance treaty with Thailand as early as two years ago, so it will not betray its allies, but our colleagues will not We hope that countries will fall into the battlefield in Southeast Asia and the situation in the European battlefield is urgent. Our country hopes that the British and French colonizers in Burma and Myitkyina will not treat this issue rationally. At the same time, as a business partner, we will make greater efforts to transport combat supplies to Britain, France and other countries. We, China With a large amount of iron ore, tin ore and aluminum ore, as long as our country is calmed down, it will be able to afford 50% of the raw material supply for the war, so we do not want more conflicts between countries on this issue."
"Thanks¡¡"
"Mr. Jiang, I am a Russian reporter. As a Russian, I would like to ask whether China is ready to declare war on our country? Our Russian Empire has millions of troops. I suggest that the Chinese government seriously consider it!" The Russian reporter spoke The tone is relatively cold, and it is threatening China.
Chiang Kai-shek sneered, and then said in a standard diplomatic tone: "Our country has carefully thought about the declaration of war on Russia. We do not deny the power of Russia, but Russia's military strength in the Far East is limited, and this incident was the first of its kind." Provocation, especially on the issues of Mongolia, the Caspian Sea and Heilongjiang, Russia's actions have completely hurt our friendship. China is a peace-loving country, but now we are eager for war. China will set up a standing army of three million by the end of the year. , if war requires, our country will form an army of five million or more. At this time, my country has the strength to cultivate, organize, and train and arm these armies. Our country's industrial capacity has developed to one-half that of the United States, and that of the United Kingdom. Two out of five, I think you, Russia, should think carefully about it. According to our great head of state, Russia is a polar bear, tall and big, but it has fallen ill at this time. If the aging beast dares to challenge the young giant, Lord of the Dragon, he will be scarred and unable to resist the disease!"
"Okay! Today's regular press conference ends here. At the same time, I would like to advise everyone not to take risks yourself. China's territory is so large that you can easily get lost. We found many journalists who died accidentally in northern Jiangsu and Anhui. We have a compassionate attitude. , we hope that reporters must contact the responsible departments of our embassy before going out, so that we can help you." At the end of the press conference, Chiang Kai-shek smiled, but every word he said made reporters from all sides sweat. All the while, Foreign countries have been vigorously investigating the Huaibei region, China's industrial center, but every time they send people there, there is no trace. At this time, isn't Chiang Kai-shek just warning these reporters not to pry into secrets?
"War! We need war. We need war to rise. The Japanese are meddling in our internal affairs and sending troops to the northeast of our country with the intention of dividing our country. This is a shame for our country and our Han people. If we want to rise, we must defeat them. We have For this strength, we propagate that each person supports the war with one dollar. Each of us can make two bullets and kill two enemies by paying one dollar. The dignity of the country depends on the efforts of all our people. The Han nation does not need peace, we need war. !" On the streets of Hongkou, Shanghai, groups of young people wearing swastika armbands shouted loudly. They were members of the Nazi Association. The Nazi Association was not a party political system, but a patriotic alliance. He Members are not required to be members of the Iron-Blooded Party, but are only required to swear an oath to the country and the nation. They do not have to join the army, but they will also defend the glory of the country in life.
Since the declaration of war against Japan, all walks of life have formed patriotic groups and actively participated in donations. This war will be a war between China and Japan for hegemony in East Asia. If China wins, then China will become the well-deserved king on the mainland.
"Head of State, the love group formed by the private sector has raised a total of more than 16 million yuan. What should we do with this money? They are not willing to accept it when it is returned." You Jiabiao said to Deng Sen while holding the document.
"Well! We can't let their enthusiasm go 100% to establish the Imperial Disabled Sanatorium. This amount of money will also be used for the support of disabled soldiers. At the same time, the government must make an annual payment of ten yuan a month based on the number of disabled soldiers. Dayang's subsidy budget must not be mistreated by those who are fighting for the country and nation." Deng Sen was very happy to report the results. In this era, the people's sense of patriotism is much higher than in later generations, and donations are quite enthusiastic. However, the current Jiangsu and Anhui governments There is no need for these funds at all, because the Jiangsu and Anhui government's finances have been in good shape, and the income is two or three times higher than the expenditure. China's mining industry must be exchanged for the blood and sweat of the indigenous people, and the investment is minimal. This is also the reason why the Jiangsu and Anhui government Financially very good reasons.
"Yes!" You Jiabiao took back the approved documents and walked out, while Deng Sen had an additional combat plan in his hand, and the war against Japan was about to begin.
