Beiyang reactionaries

Anyway, it is to prevent the "Luda ​​Land Lease Treaty" from becoming a mainstream topic.

Therefore, many people believe that Duan Xun is constantly retreating because of serious entanglements with Japanese interests, and he is unwilling to conflict with Japan.But why is it suddenly necessary to discuss the "Luda ​​Land Lease Treaty" today?

Many people are baffled.

"Everyone here is aware of the history of the 'Lvda Land Lease Treaty', and the emergence of the 'National Fourth Treaty' is the same. This year is the day when the 'Lvda Land Lease Treaty' will expire, and even in terms of months, the time has come. However, in this year's cabinet meeting, we have never formally discussed the issue of the "Lvda Land Lease Treaty". Therefore, today I hope that everyone can speak freely and see how to solve the historical issue of the "Lvda Land Lease Treaty". "

Indeed.

Under Duan Xun's intentional neglect, the cabinet really did not discuss this issue formally.

Today is the first time.

Many people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Because many people think that the "Luda ​​Land Lease Treaty" is a thing of the past.The negotiators formed by Wang Chonghui and Japan have been negotiating for three months, basically without any results.

Everyone thinks that Duan Xun is just trying to delay time.

Just look at how Duan Xun handled the North Jiangsu incident, he lifted it high and put it down gently.Many people think that Duan Xun wants to get through this year and blur this matter.But what does it mean to bring up the "Treaty of Lvda Land Lease" again at this meeting?

Duan Xun looked at Dai Kan.

Dai Kan couldn't figure out what Duan Xun was thinking, but Dai Kan was not Yang Yongtai.He is not a person who expresses his attitude by speculating on Duan Xun's thoughts.Although Dai Kan is usually trying to figure out Duan Xun's thoughts, but Dai Kan has his own set of ideas.In other words, Dai Kan is a person with his own political ideals.

Usually I also thought about the "Luda ​​Land Lease Treaty".

So he immediately said: "Prime Minister, I think there are actually three solutions to the issue of the 'Luda Land Lease Treaty'. First, we take back the rights and interests of the Kanto Prefecture, the South Manchuria Railway, and Japan in the Northeast. Second, We forgot about the "Land Lease Treaty" and used time to slowly let this matter fade away. Third, we reached a certain agreement with Japan to take back a little bit of power and at least appease domestic public opinion. At present That’s all three ways.”

"So what is Premier Dai thinking?"

Dai Kan didn't hesitate, and said directly: "Prime Minister, I think we should not forget the 'Luda Land Lease Treaty', and should not just let this matter go quietly. Of course, the best way is that we can get better results during the negotiation." many benefits."

"What if the negotiations don't go well?"

Duan Xun asked Dai Kan directly.

Dai Kan looked up at Duan Xun, then looked at the others, and said very seriously: "We should be tough when we should be tough. Even if we can't get back all the power in the Northeast, we should still get back the power that should be back." Come back. Let the Japanese know, let the world powers know, and let the domestic people know that we are no longer the weak government that we used to be. The current power of Japan in the Northeast is not only within the scope of the contract. On the contrary, the Japanese wanton in the Northeast To expand their power, these must be limited."

Hearing Dai Kan's words, someone below frowned.

tough?

How tough?What is tough?

It's easy to say, the opponent is Japan, a world power.

"kindness."

Duan Xun responded briefly, then turned his head back, and said to the others: "What's everyone's opinion?"

Many people were silent.

Because among the current cabinet members, there are really many people who are trying to figure out Duan Xun's thoughts, so they don't want to express their views for a while.For example, Yang Yongtai, the deputy prime minister of the cabinet, and Liang Hongzhi, the secretary-general of the cabinet, are all like this.

"The Prime Minister always wants to obtain enough benefits through negotiations, which is impossible."

You Min spoke immediately.

Because You Min already understood that Duan Xun was going to fight Japan.That's why a cabinet meeting is held.After all, to go to war with Japan, you must get the support of the cabinet.

Although Duan Xun is the prime minister of the cabinet, it is impossible for Duan Xun to make such a big decision by himself.If the cabinet disagrees or does not support it, no matter how hard Duan Xun pushes it, it will be unsuccessful.

So Youmin wants to express his support for Duan Xun.

"We haven't shown enough strength. How can the other party make concessions, and why should the other party make concessions. Therefore, if we want to get what we want on the negotiating table, we must put enough pressure on them, and we must show our strength. Therefore I agree with what Premier Dai said, we should be tough when we should be tough."

"Correct."

Yu Youren immediately agreed.

Then said: "Too weak, others will look down on you. They look down on you, how can they make concessions at the negotiating table, sometimes only if we are tough, the other party will back down."

"Tough, so how tough is it?"

Liang Hongzhi finally spoke.

Against Japan?

Liang Hongzhi was unwilling.Because Liang Hongzhi himself has a very good relationship with Japan, and has relations with Japanese political and business circles.In recent years, because of the good relationship between Duan Xun and Japan, there are also many "pro-Japanese factions" in the cabinet.Duan Xun needs to strengthen ties with Japan and needs support from Japan, so he also promoted many "pro-Japanese factions" who have connections in Japan.

Liang Hongzhi is a typical pro-Japanese faction.

Liang Hongzhi was worried.

Worried about whether China and Japan will affect themselves once they confront each other.Speaking of Liang Hongzhi, it's not really because he likes Japan.Not many of those so-called "pro-Japanese factions" really like Japan from the bottom of their hearts.The reason why they are "pro-Japanese faction" is more because of their relationship with Japan, which will benefit their status in the domestic political arena.

Of course, if it affects his position in the Chinese political arena, people like Liang Hongzhi will abandon their relationship with Japan anytime and anywhere.Anytime, anywhere, they will change from "pro-Japanese faction" to "anti-Japanese faction".Therefore, he needs to know Duan Xun's thoughts and everyone's thoughts.

The few people who had expressed their toughness just now were also silent when they heard Liang Hongzhi's question.

Yes.

Tough, how tough is it going to be?

Is it an army confrontation?

fight?

No one can tell.

"Toughness is not just talking about it. If necessary, I think our army should actively prepare for war and let Japan see that we are not afraid of war. In this way, we can put pressure on Japan so that we can get what belongs to us Benefit."

In the silence, Dai Kan was very decisive.

Very direct statement.

Duan Xun also looked at Dai Kan, he was very satisfied with Dai Kan, and at the same time disappointed with Yang Yongtai.In fact, Yang Yongtai is not inferior to Dai Kan in many respects.

He is even better than Dai Kan in many aspects.

When encountering some crisis situations, or unexpected situations, Yang Yongtai's ability to deal with problems is even better.It's a pity that what Yang Yongtai lacks the most is Dai Kan's courage and determination.

Have a look.

Even Liang Hongzhi asked, if it was tough, to what extent.But Yang Yongtai kept silent, because he had been trying to figure out Duan Xun's idea of ​​holding this meeting.

Not based on his own thoughts, but completely trying to figure out Duan Xun's thoughts.
