1o84719o8 Far East Madman Chapter 366 The Wisdom of Diplomacy
To make it seem that the best diplomatic choice for China now is who is the people's heart. Whether it is Britain or Germany, how they fight, it is their business, Europe or foreign affairs, it has nothing to do with China, even if China really needs to form an alliance, it should form an alliance with Britain. The reason is very simple because China is almost all over the Allied Group of spheres of influence. They are always embarrassed to attack "our own people"?
Perhaps this is the diplomatic wisdom of a weak country.
But the problem is that this is just a willingness of some members of the parliament. Britain will never take the initiative to seek alliance with China. British politicians also know that China is just the UK feeding food from Japan and Russia. Britain needs these two pounds of countries to restrict Germany from competing with the Allies without sufficient benefits. These two countries will never serve Britain. The benefit they value is China. For example, Britain will never offend two watchdogs for a bone, so Britain will not form an alliance with China in the form of a treaty. At least now, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 basically determines that Britain's Far East foreign policy and international politics have always been based on strength. Japan is stronger than China, so Japan is the British dog and China is the bone used by Britain to feed this dog.
This is China's current diplomatic dilemma. Moreover, this dilemma is almost impossible to break through unless there are major changes in the international political landscape. With China's own strength, it is impossible to compete with the entire "international order".
This "international order" also binds Germany, but Germany's powerful German politicians and soldiers are ready to use war to rewrite the rules of the international order. However, compared with the Allies, Germany's strength is not enough to defeat Germany in order to win one battle, and they decided to pull China on their own chariot. For this reason, they took the United Front and Commander-in-Chief Zhao. After the Battle of Southern Henan, German politicians finally decided to completely abandon Beiyang and fully support the United Front to control the central power of this country. Only in this way can they exert a stronger influence on China. If sweet words are added, this country with a population of 400 million may be pulled on the German emperor's chariot.
So Colonel Hannagan and Major Dinkman organized this battlefield tour group to appear in Zhao Bei's inspection of the front line in a rare high posture. They were using their actions to show that Germany was optimistic about the United Front and was more optimistic about the "Far East Madman"
At the same time, the German government also made a mistake on the Beiyang Group. The German ambassador to China not only refused to sign the joint statement of the United Kingdom, Japan, Russia and France to China condemn the United Front for "undermining peace negotiations". It also continued to maintain the "economic restrictions" on the Beiyang Group. The Germans saw clearly that the Beiyang was strong from outside and was now shaky. Just like the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the beautiful clothes of the Qing court were stripped away. The defeat on the southern battlefield of Henan also stripped away Beiyang and let it stand naked in front of the world. People now now wrapped in the beautiful military uniforms was actually a skinny tuberculosis who was as thin as skinny as there was no need to waste time and energy on this body. It is better to find a new agent who can at least protect itself as soon as possible.
This new agent is United Front. Although he looks relatively thin at the moment, he is very energetic. As long as he adds some nutrition, he will soon become stronger and even if he can't stand on a German chariot and block bullets for Germany. At least he can stand in the Far East and wave flags and shout for Germany to distract the attention of the watchdogs raised by Britain.
In order to make the United Front stronger as soon as possible, the German emperor was very generous with a telegram of 20,000 German rifles stored in the German fortress in Qingdao were loaded on ships and transported to Wuhan. This is the largest batch of arms received by the United Front, and these rifles were transported to Wuhan. There are dozens of the latest field guns and a large number of shells. At the same time, the ocean ships filled with German desires are still spraying black smoke on the Indian Ocean. If they arrive in China smoothly, the United Front will be refreshed in the quality and quantity of weapons. It may not take long for the government troops of this country to use weapons made in Germany. This will not only bring new financial resources to the German industrial oligarchs but also further strengthen the "friendship" of China and Germany.
Commander-in-chief Zhao Bei was very "happy" about the help of German "friends", but he was not satisfied with this arms deal. He hoped that German "friends" could help him establish a complete industrial system, at least to enable China to manufacture heavy weapons and light warships by itself. Of course, the manufacturing of aircraft and cars is also indispensable. In fact, the use of aircraft by the United Front in this war has attracted the attention of military powers around the world. The German General Staff has even sent a military observation group to come east by the Siberian Railway. It will take not long before they can arrive at the Beijing Railway Station.
Machine guns, aircraft, warships, automobiles, boilers, internal combustion engines, machine tools. Almost all enterprises related to heavy industry and military industry, the factory commander-in-chief wanted to establish them. He hoped to establish these industries in just a few years with the help of German "friends". This was a grand plan not only shocking but also aroused great interest from the German emperor.
No industrial power has ever helped a backward agricultural country to develop such a complete and detailed industrial exhibition plan if German industrialists can accomplish this feat this time, then this will be recorded in history.
For the German industry, the industrial exhibition plan of this Eastern country is not only grand, but also profitable because the commander-in-chief promised all these industrial enterprises
"The way of combining industrial and Chinese-German shares is to say that "German companies can at least share half of the profits brought by the Yan Erye products produced in the factory! Considering the cost of labor and transportation, these industrial products produced in China will be extremely competitive in China and the entire Far East!
Although the blueprint of the Commander-in-Chief's industrial exhibition has just been passed back to Germany. For the members of the battlefield tour group, they are a little impatient for the small plan for this industrial exhibition. For most of them, as long as Commander-in-Chief Zhao has the central power of the country, the remaining problems will be only financial and technical issues, and these problems are not a problem for German companies. The German industry is now in a period of expansion, and due to the restrictions and competition from Britain, all German factories are hungry for feeding them and they are eager to invest their excess capital in areas beyond the control of the UK.
Damn British! They control this Eastern country through the Beiyang Group. Now it is time for them to taste the power of Germany. When the United Front enters the center, it is time for Germany's disadvantages in the Far East to completely change!
Song Jiaoren is very clear about the German thoughts, but he also knows that the decision of Germany's Far East strategy is not the German side, and that as long as Zhao Bei does not form an alliance with Germany, it is impossible for China to use China to deal with the United Kingdom and the entire Allies Group.
After perfunctory with the members of the battlefield tour group, Song Jiaoren found a way to get along with the commander-in-chief and had a conversation in the dispatch room of the train station.
"Please tell me the truth about whether you have any plans to form an alliance with Germany?"
Song Jiaoren asked sincerely and stared at Zhao Bei's face, but his heart was frightened and afraid that the other party would give a positive answer.
Zhao Bei also stared at Song Jiaoren's face and asked with a smile.
"Ruo Lunchu is the president of the Republic of China, will you form an alliance with the United Kingdom?"
Song Jiaoren hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "In accordance with Song's views, in terms of the current international situation, it is actually the best choice for our country's diplomacy."
Zhao Bei nodded and said with a smile: "Heroes have similar views! Dunchu is indeed the number one politician in China today."
This is too modest. In the eyes of the Germans, the commander-in-chief is the number one politician in China and even the Far East.
Song Jiaoren didn't pay attention to Zhao Bei's modesty and just asked: "Chairman means that if you master the center, you won't be aligned with Germany?"
"It doesn't matter whom Dunchu actually forms an alliance with. Now the important problem is how to solve it.
"Eight Banners outside the Pass"
"So the Chairman is also worried about the situation in the three eastern provinces?"
Zhao Bei smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that you are worried, but that's very worried! You are not an outsider and I believe you keep your mouth shut. I'll show you the truth. According to the intelligence obtained by the Republican military intelligence department a few days ago, "The Eight Banners outside the Pass will instigate armed rebellion soon, and they even have the national name called "Manzhou Country". This is the Japanese's idea. The purpose is to divide this country into two legally. We can't let the Japanese succeed! Now the Japanese are not convenient to come forward directly, so they will push the "Eight Banners outside the Pass to the front desk. As long as the "Eight Banners outside the Pass to the front desk, the Eight Banners outside the Pass to solve the problem of the three eastern provinces, there will be no chaos."
"But if there is no stop to fight, how can you take your hands to clean up the "Eight Banners outside the Pass?" Song Jiaoren asked.
"Armation? There is no truce at this moment. My plan to advance is to fight Baoding in one breath. Now there is still a long way to go before Baoding. We cannot truce in the next few days."
"So the Chairman does not object to peace talks between the north and the south?"
Hearing something in Zhao Bei's dialect, Song Jiaoren felt relieved and then he felt nervous. What was the idea of the chairman.
"I have always advocated peace because Beiyang does not want peace. Since you are a lobbyist in Beiyang, you must have a way to directly contact the Beiyang senior management. You can tell Xu Shichang that as long as our army occupy Baoding, the Northern Expedition Army immediately stops advancing north and south to reopen peace talks.
"I have a password to send a telegram to the Presidential Palace."
Zhao Bei promised that Song Jiaoren couldn't sit still as soon as he made his promise. He hurriedly took out his password book and followed an adjutant to the telegraph room.
As soon as Song Jiaoren left the dispatch room, Zhao Bei immediately called Tian Jinfu.
"Yiren, please ask someone to shoot a telegram for Xu Baoshan immediately and tell him to take action within two days and I will recommend him to be the governor of Jiangsu! Do not take the telegram directly from here and use your intelligence station to transfer it to the video."
Tian Jinfu turned around and wanted to leave but was stopped by Zhao Bei.
"Yiren, are you willing to be a brigade commander or division commander? Or are you willing to continue to be your intelligence leader?"
Tian Jinfu thought about the pianxuan and said hesitantly: "Why do I still continue to be the intelligence leader for a while? No one in the Military Intelligence Bureau can take my position at the moment. Can't I call the commander-in-chief part-time job? In the future, when you fight in Beijing, you can't still be in charge of a group of detailed works, spies, right?"
"President? Hehe, let's talk about it later. But why can't the president serve as the intelligence leader? The Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty had a bunch of "blood droplets" under his command? After all, whether it is the president or the emperor, he always needs such a group of special subordinates who can ensure that the subordinates can achieve their feelings and ensure that the will of superiors are implemented."
Zhao Bei smiled mysteriously and the expression on his face was quite dramatic.
Chapter completed!
