Chapter 941, situation

The atmosphere of China and Japan, which had been calm for a month, suddenly heated up in the last two days. All of this seemed to be without warning, and the storm caught people off guard like a flat ground. Only those important people who are truly sitting at the core of the country know that all this is not groundless, and what should come will come sooner or later.

Starting from the second day, important newspapers from Nanjing, Beijing, Fengtian and Guangzhou also published the latest negotiation progress of the Sino-Japanese diplomatic delegation in Tianjin on the front page. Lu Zongyu, chairman of the Chinese diplomatic delegation, personally exposed the breach of trust and refused to fulfill the "Double Five Agreement" to return the Lushun Concession and the South Manchuria Railway. Not only did they not withdraw the troops stationed in the Lushun Concession, but they were even continuing to send more troops to North Korea. The purpose was to use diplomacy to deliberately delay time, not to sincerely apologize for the "assassination of the Head of State".

"It has been a month since the Sino-Japanese Friendship Statement and the non-aggression treaty signed. In accordance with the contents of this agreement, Japan has cancelled all privileges in China, which clearly states that matters related to the right to garrison should be implemented quickly after the terms are signed. Not only that, Japan will also return the Lushun Concession unconditionally within January. To this day, not only does the Lushun garrison have no intention of retreating, but the Lushun Concession is hopeless to take it back. At the same time, the Japanese government has also continued to increase troops to North Korea and the large army pressed to the Sino-North Korea border. What is its intention clear!"

"In this way, since the *** government did not sincerely improve Sino-Japanese relations, made substantial explanations for the assassination of our head of state, and continued to increase troops to North Korea during this period, it can be seen that the assassination that occurred a month ago was not the investigation result announced by the Japanese diplomatic delegation, but was carefully planned by the *** government, intending to provoke a deliberate conspiracy in the Sino-Japanese War!"

"The Chinese diplomatic delegation has decided to end the continued talks with Japan and expose the truth about the conspirators as soon as possible, and can no longer give them the chance to delay time!"

Lu Zongyu made different remarks under interview with reporters from different newspapers, but the central idea of ​​all remarks was very obvious, that is, he was scolding the government for breach of trust and re-recommending the assumption of Wu Shaoting's assassination case.

Not only did newspapers start to make a big splash, news and electricity, teahouses, streets and alleys, so-called "insiders" suddenly appeared, and began to talk about the conspiracy of the *** people as if they were decent. In some states and public schools, anonymous big-character posters also appeared, denying the *** people's back on their word and fabricating the investigation results of the assassination case, blinding the attention of the central government of Nanjing and the people of the world. Now they still openly refuse to implement the "Double Five Agreement", which simply does not take the Chinese seriously.

The entire report only took a few hours, and in the afternoon of that day, crowds of people marching and demonstrators appeared on the streets of Nanjing again.

The initial crowd of marchers was not spontaneously organized, but under the instigation of the intelligence unit, the military police and police put on their usual clothes, held high the banner and shouted on the bustling streets, and even posed very sharp flags and slogans: "Total expel the *** people", "Severe diplomatic relations with the ***, and regain Lushun by force"!

However, not long after, more and more people joined the demonstration team. In less than twenty minutes, hundreds of people grew from the previous thirty or forty people.

In some universities in Nanjing urban areas, many professors and lecturers publicly encourage students to launch movements or organize charity performances, and must expose the ambitions of the people more thoroughly and arouse more national people to defend the country. After receiving the guidance of professors and lecturers, many university literary clubs and drama clubs began to act, and led the students of the club to directly come to build a stage near the embassy area. During the construction process, many passers-by came over to ask curiously. After learning that it was to protest to the ***, passers-by even helped to build the stage.

After seeing this scene, foreigners entering and leaving the embassy area immediately felt that their lives would fall into chaos again. Fortunately, it was not the first time that foreigners had experienced this situation. They had already had some experience in dealing with it. They quickly ordered their servants to buy some daily necessities to store them, and they would not plan to go out in the next few days.

At the Tianjin Diplomatic Negotiation Conference, when the attitude of the Chinese diplomatic delegation suddenly changed, the *** side immediately realized something was wrong. Facing Lu Zongyu, who was originally gentle and spoke slowly, suddenly became hysterical, and even no matter how he explained, he could not get an understanding of how to back down, which was enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem. Although the *** diplomatic delegation did not place hopes to delay too much time on the "Double Five Agreement", after all, the fact that Taiwan and the local *** local troops were added to North Korea cannot be denied. The Chinese Ministry of Defense could not have no feeling, but what they unexpectedly expected was that the 80 million yen rent was only exchanged for thirty days, which was really worthless.

But no matter what, since things have happened, China's attitude has become tough again and the war is about to break out, and the *** side must make sufficient response. The *** diplomatic delegation immediately sent the news to the Embassy in China and the Governor General of North Korea, warning the *** military to respond to military operations from China at any time.

Other countries in the Allies camp were nervous about what happened today. It was obvious that this incident would not be as private as a month ago. China would launch this war no matter what. At this time, Britain, France and Russia had no time to let go of the relationship. What they were most worried about is whether their interests in the Far East would be affected once China and Japan start a war?

***After all, it is an Allied country. During the assassination a month ago, Britain, France and Russia had already contacted the country and received clear instructions from the heads of various countries. Since the war in Europe is currently in a very tense stage, it is necessary to win more allies to maintain the momentum of the Allied country camp. Therefore, once the war with China begins, the Allied country camp must abide by the content of the agreement and declare war on China at the same time. Although Britain, France and Russia currently do not have any extra resources to deal with China, verbal names must not be lost. Otherwise, if the ally of *** is lost, it will inevitably cause panic in the entire alliance and morale will plummet, which will make it worse for the already unfavorable frontline situation.

However, if Britain, France and Russia really declare war on China, they will not be able to take actual military actions. With China's current strength and Wu Shaoting's idea of ​​strong power, they may still deal with them like they would against ***, such as regaining the concession by force, abolishing all privileges of Britain, France and Russia in China, etc. Once this happens, the interests of the forces that Britain, France and Russia have worked hard in the Far East will be gone, and even if *** loses again on the battlefield, the entire Allied Power will be in a crisis.

Britain and France do have some troops that can be called in India, but on the one hand, India's troops are not the main combat troops and their combat effectiveness is very limited. On the other hand, the main battlefield in Europe that occurred in France was already exhausted, and it was powerless to open a second battlefield in Asia. Even if you grit your teeth and forcefully start a war with China, you will not only have to bear extremely serious battlefield risks, but also increase military expenditure twice. If you don't do it well, it will also affect the situation of the main battlefield in Europe.

That night, Jurden hurriedly summoned France and Russian ministers to discuss the response measures after the Sino-Japanese War.

The Russian minister was still smoking his big brow, but frowned, and listened silently to Jurden and Kant's suggestion, and then said: "I hope that Britain and France will immediately draw the necessary forces from India and Vietnam. Of course, we do not expect these forces to deal with China, but at least we must ensure a deterrent, a deterrent that comes from the unity of the Allies."

Juerdian glanced at Kubenschi coldly and said angrily: "Deterrence? I have repeatedly emphasized that the problem we are facing now is to anger China and cause unnecessary war behavior. Do you think the current central government of Nanjing is still the former Beiyang government? Do you think the current international situation is still the time when we share the Far East cake together?"

Kant also echoed: "You asked us to mobilize troops to China and create a threat to China, but what about you Russia? Is this what you call unity?"

Cubanschi knocked his pipe hard in the ashtray on the coffee table in front of him, and said calmly: "Gentlemen, are you just using this idea to speculate on our Tsarist Russian Empire? Your defeats on the European battlefield, including His Excellency Herbert Henry Asquis, and your French President Raymond Poongale, have urged reinforcements to our Great Emperor for less than seven times in just one month. Do you really think our Tsarist Russian Empire did nothing? The damn Battle of the Marne River, you have not defended it for six months, and have to make us urgently mobilize the Abella Legion and the Novosibirsk Legion to reinforce the front line. Our country had just issued a national mobilization order a week ago, and almost all the young men over twenty-two years old have received notice of mobilization."

When Jurden heard this, he lost his confidence in losing his temper for a moment. He sighed and said, "Mr. Kubenschi, I know your current efforts in Russia, but as ambassadors to China, we must first guarantee the interests in China, right? Even if we transfer several battalions of troops from India and even temporarily recruit retired soldiers to serve again, we can go to the Nordic countries to find mercenaries. But in the final analysis, these forces are far from enough to ensure that we can put pressure on China and protect our interests in China. Therefore, at this time, we must be careful and must not cause more unnecessary conflicts."

Kubenschi sneered: "Then according to your opinion, we shouldn't stand on the side of *** and declare war on China?"

Kant immediately realized the crisis. If he refused to declare war on China from the standpoint of the emperor at this time, it would indeed guarantee their relevant interests in the Far East, which would inevitably lead to the wavering of the European front-line battlefield. The Allies could not fulfill the content of the agreement, and the allies would definitely seize this and make a big fuss. More importantly, today, Britain can give up its support for the emperor in order to protect its own interests, and maybe it will re-used the same trick on France tomorrow!

"No, I think this is impossible!" He immediately emphasized loudly without waiting for Juerdian to answer, "We must declare war on China. This is not only to fulfill the relationship between the agreed military alliance, but also to ensure the morale of the main battlefield of Europe. We must not lose sight of one thing, do you understand?"

"Of course I know this, so I came to you to see if I could think of a way to the best of both worlds!" Juerdian emphasized. He knew what Kant was worried about now. The entire European battlefield is currently the main force of the British and French coalition forces in land warfare, or France is now completely dependent on British support. If Britain abandons the ***, it is likely to cause concern within France.

"The best of both worlds? Where are there so many best of both worlds in this world?" Kubenschi said sarcastically.

"I also think this is impossible. After all, China is not a fool. Even if we talk to the Chinese people, we just follow the covenant and declare war on China, but we will not launch any military operations against China. However, the aid we have behind our backs will make China's defeat on the battlefield eventually make the crazy Yuansheng make even more crazy actions! In their Chinese language, this is called throwing apart!" Kant said fiercely, and after saying that, he sighed melancholy.
