Beiyang reactionaries

Of course, we need to make good use of Japan in this process.

Now China needs to carry out the most basic industrialization.Such as mining, power plants, steel mills and so on.But relying on Duan Xun's own financial strength and technical strength alone is definitely not easy.

At present, the easiest and fastest way is to use the hands of the Japanese.

Borrow from Japan, buy Japanese machines, and introduce Japanese technology.Especially with more than two years left until 1923.You can get a lot of good things in two years.

As for the borrowed money?

Do you want to pay it back?How to return it?That depends on the relationship between China and Japan in the future.If the relationship deteriorates sharply, it's time to pay the fart.Moreover, after China and Japan turned their backs in 1923, Duan Xun had to get involved with the United States, the Soviet Union, and Germany to confront Japan.

So Duan Xun is willing to borrow money.

I am willing to borrow more money, use Japanese money to buy more machinery and equipment I need from Japan, and develop myself first.

"Ambassador Pan, we have always been good friends. I hope our friendship will last forever."

"General Duan, I hope so too."

"Actually, I need your country's support very much. Including the police university I want to establish, I also hope that your country can send instructors and so on."

"There is no problem in this aspect. General Duan, please believe that we have always maintained the most sincere friendship with General Duan."

"I believe."

Duan Xun said that he had to "believe".

The two hypocritical people talk about "friendship" and "friend", and they are thinking about how to calculate their opponents and how to get more benefits.After the two had a good talk, little Pan Youji left Duan Xun's place.

Duan Xun sighed.

Every time he talked with these people, Duan Xun felt that his smile was so disgusting.However, as a political figure, this kind of disgusting laughter is estimated to accompany him for a lifetime.

This is the price.

"Prime Minister, this is not appropriate."

After talking with little Pan Youji, Duan Xun immediately asked Dai Kan, Yang Yongtai, and Yan Huiqing to come over.It has always been Duan Xun's idea to discuss the Shandong issue with Japan.

It's just that the diplomatic issue is very sensitive.

In particular, Duan Xun is also known as a pro-Japanese faction, and he needs to be more cautious on the Japanese issue.It is not easy for Duan Xun to bring up some issues at the cabinet meeting. He cannot seize all rights as soon as he comes to Beijing.Fortunately, Duan Xun is currently replacing the role of the current cabinet with a nondescript temporary organization like the Disaster Relief Committee.So you have more power in your hands.

Started to meddle in the affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Tell me."

"Prime Minister, aren't you acknowledging Japan's special rights in Shandong in disguise? If the current situation persists, at least we can continue to negotiate and fight for it. But if such an agreement is signed with Japan, then these rights will become real. If it is lost, Japan can legally maintain their interests in Shandong, so our loss will be too great. Prime Minister, this kind of contract must not be signed. Such a contract seems to be beneficial to us, but it is actually very unfavorable to us. "

Yan Huiqing was very surprised.

What about Duan Xun?

Anyway, the reputation has always been very good.Except for being criticized because of its close relationship with Japan, there are no stains in other aspects.Especially in the face of Britain and France, Duan Xun was very tough and gained a lot of fame.

Coupled with the incidents in Mongolia and Hulunbeier, Duan Xun's reputation has greatly increased.

For more than half a year, in the Beijing government, Yan Huiqing also believed that Duan Xun was a very qualified leader.At present, Wang Chonghui is more and more like a decoration, and Duan Xun is in charge of the cabinet work.Even when discussing some specific issues, Wang Chonghui often couldn't intervene at all.Because Wang Chonghui has no experience in governance at all, he has no understanding of many specific issues and has never dealt with them at all.Although Duan Xun was born in "Qiu Ba", he started from the west of Henan and made his fortune in Sichuan. He notified the southwest and served as the supervisor of border defense.He has actually handled many local affairs, has rich experience, and understands the current situation in China.Many problems can be easily dealt with.

It was Yan Huiqing, who had nothing to do with Duan Xun before, but slowly began to recognize Duan Xun.

In particular, Duan Xun is very supportive of Yan Huiqing's diplomatic ideas.Including the nascent Soviet Union and the maimed Germany, Yan Huiqing is one of the few people who hopes that China will quickly start diplomatic negotiations with them.There were very few people who supported him before, because China's current high-level officials are either pro-British, pro-Japanese, and a few pro-American.Because of their own positions and interests, they support China's diplomatic relations with Britain, Japan, and the United States more than the diplomacy of the Soviet Union and Germany.But after Duan Xun came to Beijing, he strongly supported Yan Huiqing's idea and asked Yan Huiqing to be fully responsible for the negotiations with the Soviet Union and Germany.At present, Yan Huiqing has sent people to contact the Soviet Union and Germany.Yan Huiqing is of course happy to have a leader like Duan Xun who supports his ideas.Therefore, Yan Huiqing is very willing to work with Duan Xun.

But Duan Xun didn't want to accept this proposal today.

This is tantamount to legally recognizing the various rights and interests of Japan in Shandong.

"You guys also talk about it."

Chen Yuhao did not comment on Yan Huiqing's words, but asked Dai Kan and Yang Yongtai.Dai Kan thought for a while and said: "I am also a little worried. Once such a contract is spread, it will definitely be very detrimental to us. But it is not without results. If the Japanese army can leave Shandong and return some of the Shandong they occupied to us , It’s a good thing for us. After all, having Japanese troops stationed in a sensitive area like Shandong is really not good for us. It’s just that the specific terms need to be discussed carefully.”

"Changqing, what do you think?"

"I think it is still possible, or there is room for manipulation."

"Brother Changqing, how can you say that?"

Yan Huiqing was a little dissatisfied.

Duan Xun is trying to save face, or Duan Xun is a true pro-Japanese faction.For Japan's loan, for Japan's aid, so it was made like this, and the rights and interests of Shandong were handed over to Japan.

As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yan Huiqing would never agree.

If Duan Xun insisted, Yan Huiqing could only threaten to resign.Seeing Yang Yongtai's statement now, Yang Yongtai is even more angry.Yang Yongtai and Yan Huiqing are relatively familiar.

Both of them are technical bureaucrats.

They were all officials in Beijing before, and they still know each other.After all, Yang Yongtai was a relatively active figure in the Beijing "Political Science Research Association" back then.A highly educated talent like Yan Huiqing has a lot of contact with Yang Yongtai and the others.

Yan Huiqing was angry.

It is because in Yan Huiqing's view, Duan Xun can have such an idea because people like Yang Yongtai are instigating Duan Xun.Yang Yongtai smiled slightly, and didn't care about Yan Huiqing's attitude.

Yan Huiqing is excellent.

Even better in the field of diplomacy.But when it comes to playing politics, Yan Huiqing is no match for Yang Yongtai.Therefore, Yang Yongtai ignored Yan Huiqing and continued: "What is Japan's greatest power in Shandong at present? There are four powers that we must take back. One is that Japan has troops stationed in Shandong, and the other is that Japan has administrative power in some areas of Shandong. Power, one is that Japan has its own police force in the area under its control, and the other is that Japan controls the Jiaoji Railway and Shandong’s mining rights. Of course, Japan also has a lot of privileges in Shandong, including the privileges of their businessmen. The privileges that the Japanese have should not be. But the most important powers are these four, and other powers are attached to these four powers. Of course, many ordinary people do not understand, and many literati like to exaggerate, So in their view, it seems that driving all the Japanese out of Shandong is considered a complete success. But this kind of thing is completely impossible, at least not in a short period of time, and we can't do it now. Unless we and Japan has completely turned its face and fought with each other, otherwise we have no way to drive all the Japanese out of Shandong. Mr. Yan, do you think I am right?"

"kindness."

What Yang Yongtai said is very simple.

Yan Huiqing could only nod slowly.Because Yang Yongtai is right, in fact, Japan's power in the Shandong area mainly consists of a few items.Because other powers are derived from these four items.

As long as these four powers of Japan are ended, the other powers will slowly disappear.

Many things exaggerated by literati are actually far less serious and complicated than imagined.Yang Yongtai summed it up very easily.Seeing Yan Huiqing nodding, Yang Yongtai continued with a smile: "Our priority now is to end the situation where the Japanese army is stationed in Shandong. Because among the four rights of Japan, the most fundamental reason is that the Japanese army is stationed in Shandong. It is precisely because the Japanese army is stationed in Shandong that it will be derived So much power. So no matter how we negotiate, the withdrawal of the Japanese army from Shandong is the most important thing and the core of our negotiations. And as long as the Japanese army withdraws from Shandong, the administrative power under their control will naturally be taken back by us. The Japanese army Withdrawal, it is impossible for Japan to continue to exercise their administrative power in the area controlled by Shandong. Although Japan will leave a large number of officials there to obey their words, as long as the administrative power is withdrawn, there are still many ways to deal with them. Now Our main tasks should be these two, let the Japanese army leave Shandong, and take back the administrative power in the Japanese-controlled areas of Shandong.”

"Then what about the Jiaoji Railway and several important mines in Shandong?"

Yan Huiqing's question is very sharp.

Even if the Japanese army withdraws from Shandong, even if Japan returns administrative power to China.But as long as Japan still controls the Jiaoji Railway and some mines in Shandong, Japan can still call the wind and rain in Shandong.

Not to mention, Duan Xun also wants to admit that Japan has police agencies in several areas.

This is even more excessive.
