"Brother Shaochuan, do you mean to start from Yuan Jing?" Wang Zhenyu thought of Yuan Jing's cabinet in history and his eyes lit up. "Yes, I believe that no matter how reluctant the Japanese side is, they have to face the fact that our army is no longer something they can easily deal with. Although they are good at gambling, they are based on the premise of having the hope of victory. Yes, what we have to do now is to kill this hope." Gu Weijun looked very strategic. "What if the beating in Jinan is too painful and the Japanese use all their strength to risk their lives and beat them to pieces?" Wang Zhenyu asked again. Gu Weijun nodded and said: "Actually, Britain and France will not allow Japan to use all its strength to settle accounts with us. I also checked a report intercepted from the British Minister Juldian. If my analysis is correct, the British want to safeguard Their interests in the Far East will never allow us to fight the Japanese in a lose-lose situation. Only by keeping the Japanese and us in check can the British interests in Asia be maintained and protected. At the same time, Britain, France and the United States need our two countries to work together to resist the new wave. "Compared with the Japanese ambitions for the mainland, this regime that has been determined to liberate the world from the beginning is the most terrifying." "Then your idea is to let the Japanese use their power." They are all concentrated in Siberia. The situation in the Northeast must be resolved as soon as possible. My opinion in Kanto Prefecture is to give the Japanese face and limit the lease period to return it. The Manchuria Railway Company should be reorganized. It would be better for China and Japan to jointly operate it, while Shandong should be taken back immediately. I believe so. The Japanese backlash will not be too strong. "Wang Zhenyu thought for a while: "In this way, I will explain to Kato that you will go to the British Concession in Shanghai and let the British do it and have a good talk about this peace issue. I also know that we won't be able to reach an agreement for a while, but it doesn't matter. I will make Japan anxious. Shaochuan, it is not easy to negotiate with the big powers. Try to win more benefits for our suffering country and nation. In addition, for you I think this idea of ??leading the Japanese to Siberia and Russia is feasible. We can discuss it with the Japanese. I don¡¯t believe that these people who are threatened by volcanoes and earthquakes every day will not be tempted. Also, I need to talk to the three of you. In this Shandong battle, I think the threat from the Japanese to us will only become smaller and smaller in the future. We must be wary of the Red Russians around us. They are likely to become our new enemies, especially because their ideas are very agitating. "Sex." Xiong Xiling and the three of them looked at each other. Although they didn't know why the always confident commander was suddenly so afraid of Chi Er, but since the commander mentioned it, it would be better to pay careful attention. Xiong Xiling suddenly thought of a question: "Commander, how should we solve the matter in Northeast China." Wang Zhenyu shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, but Zhang Zuolin's funeral affairs have to be taken care of, and I plan to go to Fengtian to express my condolences in person." Xiong Xiling was shocked when he heard this: "Commander, this is absolutely impossible. You are putting yourself in danger. You are not clear about the current situation. Once something unexpected happens to you personally, the entire National Government and the Youth Army will have a hard time." The foundation we built will collapse immediately, faster than the death of Lao Yuan. Those people in Nanjing must be the first batch to come out to cause trouble, and then the little blood our country has accumulated in the past few years is over. " Wang Zhenyu nodded, he understood all these things, but Yang Du and Yang Yongtai's two-inch words alone may not be able to deceive those Northeastern men in the Feng Dynasty. Moreover, in recent years, although the Youth Army has outstanding military achievements, they are basically all Relying on the people below to beat him, he, a commander, has no merit in terms of size. After thinking about it, Wang Zhenyu, who knew that he had leaked, still comforted Xiong Xiling and said: "Mr. Xiong's opinion is very good, but I was negligent. This matter is easy to understand." Let's discuss it later. You go back early to draw up a charter and leave for Shanghai. Wang Chonghui has already contacted her there. " Hearing Wang Zhenyu's words, Xiong Xiling seemed to still be unwilling to give up. He wanted to persuade her again, but was pulled away by Tang Shaoyi. He tugged at the corner of his clothes, knowing that it was difficult to control the handsome man, so he sighed and said goodbye and went out. Three days later, in Japan, the fierce debate was still going on. Due to Hara Kei's attitude and Tanaka's resignation, the Imperial Shandong Expeditionary Army was actually trapped in Jinan for ten days. The soldiers were struggling to survive in cold and hunger every day. , as the commander, General Yu Heng, Issei also received three distress telegrams almost every day. At first, he paid attention to the wording, but later on, he became a bit unseemly. He almost burst into tears and broke down in tears. Tanaka couldn't help but curse: "It's a total embarrassment to the imperial soldiers." Hara Kei and Yamaxian still couldn't reach an agreement, but strangely, this time the Army did not carry forward Japan's glorious tradition of defeating superiors. Hara Kei almost continued to fight for the past ten days. I visited friends in Shanxian thirty times, every morning, noon and evening. Such an attitude made Shanxian no longer stubborn. "Yuan Jingjun, the empire needs space to survive. If we peacefully end the war in Shandong now, it is tantamount to giving up the future survival of the empire."?Space. " Yuan Jing shook his head and spread out the world map on the tatami between Shanxian Youto and himself. He pointed at the Russian Far East and said: "Although I do not agree with the empire sending troops to Siberia, if the empire wants to seek survival space, the Far East It is more suitable for us. Unlike Manchuria, our occupation and development of the Far East will not only cause dissatisfaction and suspicion from the great powers such as Britain, the United States, and France, but will also recognize our achievements because we are on the front line of the battle with Red Russia, Mr. Yamagata. , if the empire¡¯s continental policy must be implemented, then now is the time for us to consider accepting China¡¯s opinion, end this war decently, and then concentrate all resources to acquire a huge piece of land for the empire in the Far East. Only by completely owning this Only with a piece of land can the empire truly gain a foothold on the Asian continent. "In fact, this is also what the British think. The report of Zhu Erdian's transfer has not been released yet, so Zhu Erdian is still working hard to stand up for the British Empire. Therefore, although he is very disgusted with Wang Zhenyu, Zhu Erdian still instructed the Shanghai General Manager The consulate tried its best to facilitate Sino-Japanese peace talks. After all, it was not in the interests of the British Empire in the Far East for China and Japan to lose both sides. Zhu Erdian even proposed a grand strategic idea that was recognized by Whitehall, which was to use China and Japan to fight against each other. The specific method for Red Russia to suppress and blockade is to allow China and Japan to expand territorially towards the territory of Red Russia. This is very easy, especially for China. As long as the Chinese borders are restored to those before 1860, it will be enough for Russia. The group of crazy revolutionaries jumped. Zhu Erdian also received accurate information that the army of Wu Peifu, the northwest king of the Southern National Government, had entered Central Asia a month ago and began to integrate the local military, politics, and economy. Resources, this is undoubtedly good news for the British Empire, which is determined to prevent Red Russia from becoming bigger. Therefore, the British Minister in Japan also visited Prime Minister Hara Kei frequently in the past few days, hoping to promote peace between China and Japan on December 26. On this day, he finally chose to compromise: "Yuan Jingjun, I can support your plan, but I hope you can fight for the best interests of the empire and don't let us down. In addition, I also want to remind you to give up the empire's mission in China." In the eyes of many people, profit is a traitor to the country. You must also be careful about your own safety. " "Your Excellency, Marshal Youlao, is worried about you. For the sake of the Emperor and all the people, this life I have given you is nothing. " Yuan Jing bowed. Then the Sino-Japanese negotiations started in Shanghai on the 27th. The Japanese representative was none other than Makino, who attended the Peace Conference at the beginning of the year, and the Chinese representative was Gu Weijun. Makino's attitude was very tough, and at the beginning of the negotiations Then he came up with a plan that was astonishing: "First, China must withdraw its troops from Shandong and punish the murderers who provoked this war; second, recognize the empire's inherent interests in Shandong and Manchuria; third, target this War compensation amounting to US$100 million. " It's a bit like asking for a high price and paying back the money after landing. Gu Weijun was angry and funny when he saw this condition: "Mr. Makino, if it is such a condition, I suggest that everyone adjourn the meeting now. There is a Shanghai-Hong Kong Cup football match in Shanghai this afternoon. In the competition, a very powerful player came out recently, named Li Huitang. Let's go and see him. He is very skilled. As for Jinan, we can only trouble the trapped warriors of your country to continue to starve for another day. As far as I know, the weather in Shandong is very cool, and the white snow flying in the sky is beautiful. " Makino suddenly felt embarrassed. He immediately coughed and said: "This, this, don't worry, we also want to know what your conditions are. " Gu Weijun smiled lightly, and the initiative was in his hands. " On December 28, the fifth day after Zhang Zuolin was assassinated, representatives of China and Japan reached a four-point agreement on a peaceful truce in Shanghai. " First, from now on, the Japanese troops will leave Shandong in batches Evacuate and transfer Qingdao to the National Government of China, and the two parties reached a memorandum of understanding; (Additional terms, the Japanese troops are not allowed to carry any weapons when withdrawing, and Qingdao¡¯s transfer compensation is a symbolic 1 million US dollars) Second, both parties promised that once the National Government Upon completion of national reunification, Japan will transfer 51% of the equity and operating rights of the Manchuria Railway Company to the China Development Corporation for US$25 million. Third, from now on, in order to demonstrate the friendship between China and Japan, all countries will jointly discuss the issue of Boxer Indemnity. The second round of negotiations was carried out in Shanghai. Before the conclusion of the negotiations, all compensation payments were stopped (this was guaranteed by Britain, the United States and France). Fourth, from now on, the Japanese army will completely withdraw from Manchuria (Northeast China). The lease was extended to July 1923, when it was returned to the Chinese National Government. In addition to these four-point agreements, it also included a series of agreements on the Russian issue. With the strength shown by the Chinese army in the Shandong War, the great powers agreed. The rise of China has been affected, so Gu Weijun has to stay in Shanghai to assist??Chonghui and the great powers began negotiations on the abolition of many unequal treaties in the former Qing Dynasty.
