    When the ugly face of the Japanese was written down on paper by the Kuomintang Propaganda Department, public opinion was in an uproar.  Comparing the United States and the Soviet Union, they are both great powers, so why is the gap so big?  Now China's family is no longer servile for this money!

    In order to regain their influence, the Japanese stated that they could give up their right to control the Boxer Indemnity after China signed a document agreeing to "open a railway from Jilin to Huining, North Korea".

    Zhang Zuolin decided after thinking for a moment: "Okay."

    ¡°In this way, with the Soviet Union and Russia taking the lead, the United States demonstrating, and Japan explicitly or covertly giving up, the consensus on this matter among the major powers with strong geopolitical influence on China quickly turned into the unanimous following of all signatory countries.  Under pressure from major countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, and Germany, or major countries with an advantage in reparation ratios, to give up reparations, the complete cancellation of Boxer reparations in various countries was a matter of course and unanimously agreed by the great powers.

    After signing the agreement, Yamamoto came over from Dalian in a hurry. He wanted Zhang Zuolin to sign the documents previously agreed between China and Japan.  Zhang Zuolin did not break his promise, and with a stroke of his pen, the word "read" came alive before his eyes.

    Yamamoto was very happy. He went to the Northeast and found Zhang Guochen, the governor of Liaoning who succeeded Wang Yongjiang, and asked him to fulfill it.  Unexpectedly, Zhang Guochen only took one look and said loudly: "What is this? Which clause made me agree to do this?"

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? No, but it¡¯s signed by Lao Zhang, isn¡¯t that enough?

    Zhang Guochen said confidently: "The current leader is Duan Qirui, I'm sorry to have to obey him!"

    If Zhang Guochen didn't know about Zhang Shuai's hostile attitude towards the Japanese, he would not be qualified to be the governor of Liaoning.  Is it a joke? Liaoning is Zhang Zuolin¡¯s hometown and the mainstay of the three northeastern provinces. The position of this provincial governor is equivalent to half of the northeast.

    When Wang Yongjiang was promoted to governor, he went through a lot of tests. Even after serving as the "Vice Chairman of the National Unification Committee" in the Northeast, he did not lose his position as governor.

    And the stronghold of the National Unification Council is located in Shenyang.  If we look at Northeast China as an independent country, Liaoning is equivalent to the status of the national capital.  When Wang Yongjiang left and Zhang Guochen took over, Yamamoto would not believe him even if he said that he was not Lao Zhang's.

    But Zhang Guochen rejected Yamamoto on the grounds that Zhang Zuolin was not the head of state and was not qualified to sign foreign contracts. He had no choice. What they said was right, he could gain a foothold wherever he went.

    At this time, the policy of "not taking the lead" that Zhang Hanqing originally requested came into effect.  Just some time ago, a group of young men and veterans who were dazzled by the victory proposed to let Zhang Zuolin serve as the president of the Republic of China, so that they could be promoted to officials and enjoy the joy of victory, but Zhang Hanqing stopped them directly.

    He believes that anyone can be king, but not Zhang Zuolin.

    After a good explanation, everyone realized that in politics, it is not just who has the biggest fist that will win.  When you still have to beware of bigger fists, keeping a low profile and biding your time is the right answer.

    So, Duan Qirui, who had a certain reputation, but whose reputation had weakened, was singled out.  Even Zhang Zuolin, who has made the most contribution to the anti-independence and unification of the country, has not come out to take charge of the center. Why should Sun Yat-sen grab this position?  Therefore, Zhang Hanqing's move directly left the Kuomintang politically helpless.

    As we all know, the KMT¡¯s advantage lies in its political influence.

    With no territory to implement its political program, its influence is slowly declining.  If Sun Yat-sen had not immediately agreed to serve on the Transportation Committee and allowed a limited number of Kuomintang members to serve as ministers of several ministries, the Kuomintang's voice would suddenly disappear from the mainstream voices in China. This would be more terrifying than losing the war.

    ¡°Allowing Duan Qirui to continue to be a puppet on the stage can give the Fengxi Department some room for buffering in foreign affairs, especially diplomacy with Japan:

    Major treaties that are unfavorable to China, bypassing the People's Party that is actually in power, can be completely abolished in the future, and the responsibility lies with Duan; all major events that Duan nods to, if the People's Party does not agree, will actually not take effect - since Duan is in power.  , all central government administrative personnel are controlled by the People's Party.  Zhang Zuolin hid behind Duan Qirui, enjoying himself.

    In order to contain Japan¡¯s actions in Northeast China, Zhang Hanqing tried to use Britain and the United States to contain Japan.  He spared no expense to introduce American capital into the Northeast, and asked the United States to build Datong (Dahushan to Tongliao), Shenhai (Shenyang to Hailong) and other railways and the Huludao port. Japan proposed to increase the Jihui Railway and open mines, set up factories,  Immigration, etc., as well as the request to prevent China from building a port on Huludao, were not complied with, causing dissatisfaction in Japan.

    So Yamamoto returned to Beijing, hoping that Zhang Zuolin could turn the "Beijing-Harbin Line" plan from a secret agreement into an open and formal agreement, and sign another word on the details of the agreement (that is, specific terms).  With this word, Yamamoto is confident that Duan Qirui dare not disagree.??, the jade-mouthed pipe broke into two halves!

    Zhang Zuolin stood up angrily and rolled his eyes: "Aren't I just such a stinky person? Can't you do it anymore? No matter what, you can't do anything that will make future generations unable to hold their heads up!" After saying this, he angrily said  He left Fangze and walked away alone.

    Zhang Zuolin was born in the military, and when he was ruthless, he was also very evil.  Fengjun has nearly a million elite soldiers in his hands, and he is a force that must be taken seriously wherever he goes. If there is really going to be trouble, the Japanese government will really have to weigh it.  So as long as he doesn't become so stiff that he falls out, the Japanese government really has nothing to do with him.

    This is the conclusion reached by Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Baili and other military experts before, and it is also Zhang Zuolin's confidence.

    Fangze, who was a civil servant, had never seen such a battle before. He did not frighten Lao Zhang. Instead, he was frightened by the opponent's momentum, so he had to go home in despair.  On the second day of the two men's night talk, in view of Zhang Zuolin's "indifference", the "unbearable" Japanese government sent a letter of apology through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing Government immediately responded to Japan's letter: "The three northeastern provinces and Beijing and Tianjin are all Chinese territory. Don't take our sovereignty as our sovereignty."  (The original words are "Sovereignty lies and cannot be ignored").

    Although he said harsh words, Zhang Zuolin still cordially received the Japanese press group the next day.  Facing the Japanese reporter, Lao Zhang spoke loudly: "I now have 'great awareness and determination', and I bear 'full responsibility' for China's public security. This cannot be questioned," I dare to assert again and again for you.  Of'!"

    "Of course, Lao Zhang's Tai Chi has always been a civil and military way. He will not do anything to completely block the door by relaxing one by one.  When Fangze paid another secret visit and asked Zhang Zuolin about his true intention, Lao Zhang looked pitiful: "I made that statement and said those words, but there was nothing I could do. Public opinion is paying close attention."

    Fangze was not shaken by him this time, and immediately took out a new document, which contained several written requirements just made on the order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "All talk and no practice, look at these few  Conditions, if you are sincere, please sign."

    ¡°Sign, sign, sign, I will definitely sign this time.¡± Lao Zhang looked sincere and accepted the document solemnly.  Seeing that the other party's attitude had softened, Fangze finally breathed a sigh of relief: everything is settled.

    After returning, he impatiently sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff Headquarters, asking these two departments to check and collect the documents sent by Zhang Zuolin.  As soon as there is news, inform him immediately.

    On the diplomatic front, we are dealing with a troublesome character like Zhang Zuolin. It is really not easy to achieve something.  But for several days, no department notified him.  I chased after him and asked, and the other person was also surprised. Where can I find the thing you mentioned?

    Who are you, playing tricks on me again?  Fangze usually seemed a bit "honest and humble", but this time he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and came to settle the score with Lao Zhang.

    As soon as they met, before Bage Yalu could curse, Lao Zhang slapped himself on the head and said, "Look at my memory, I have signed the documents for you a long time ago, but I forgot to ask you to come and get them, and you didn't come here yourself.  , look at how good it is."

    Lao Zhang obediently handed the document to Fangze respectfully.  It's only a few days later. Anyway, it's signed and you can go back and pay the account.  Fangze's anger in his stomach was mostly relieved by this. After saying a few words such as "Don't be so naughty next time", he turned from anger to joy and walked away happily. He didn't know that his tragic comedy was not over yet.

    When I returned to the embassy, ??I opened it and saw that the document was signed "Read" again!  There is not even the legendary "so-and-so has a dirty hand".  Oh my God, you are not my leader. I want you to just "read" or "read".  Fangze's eyesight went dark and he fell down on the chair.  What a defeat!

    This incident was witnessed by a counselor who was with Fangze at the time. Many years later, he still remembered Zhang Zuolin's "very cunning".  Zhang Zuolin used the word "drag" with great proficiency.

    The Japanese call him "cunning", but if you think about the dangerous situation Zhang Zuolin is in given China's national conditions, you really can't help but sweat it.  Looking at the excellent situation, the Japanese cannot destroy the overall situation under any circumstances.  However, if we do not deal with the Japanese in a roundabout way, we will not be able to face the Japanese's encroaching appetite.

    Although they look a little embarrassed, compared to the traitorous warriors who benefit from the enemy and enrich themselves, they deserve a thumbs up, not a middle finger.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
