    Western governments led by the United States speak highly of this. They see that China's future leaders (most likely) will "recognize" the United States' "open door" policy.

    ¡°In fact, the so-called open door is just a reform and opening up that has weakened sovereignty. At this stage, China has no chance of rejecting it unless it is baptized and won by a large-scale war, such as the liberation war in history.

    Accepting the "open door" is just to use this policy to minimize the monopoly ambitions of an enemy, especially Japan, against China, such as the September 18th Incident and the Marco Polo Bridge Incident.  When China is strong enough to close the door easily, then it can sneak over and then open the door to rob the thief. This is Zhang Hanqing's humble opinion.

    The United States welcomed this and believed that this was a sign that the Fengcian clique was moving closer to it. However, the interests of British forces in China, especially those in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, were not touched, and therefore they acquiesced in the People's Army's encroachment on the Zhili clique's territory.

    Japan has opinions, but Zhang Hanqing has no intention of depriving its important lifeline "Kandong Prefecture" at present, so they have little rebound.

    Because Zhang Hanqing knew very well that after the First World War, Japan acquired the lease rights of the "Kwantung State", the right to operate the Manchurian Railway, the administrative rights to the Manchurian Railway-affiliated areas, the right to station the army, the right to prohibit the parallel lines of the Manchurian Railway, and the railway loan  Rights, mining rights, land commercial lease rights, etc. have always been regarded as forbidden and should not be tampered with.

    This is Japan's bottom line. If it goes beyond this step, it will greatly stimulate the "feelings" of the Japanese people and lead to war - the "kind" Japanese people have already regarded this place as their home.

    China cannot currently break the treaty, even if it is an unequal treaty, because this will shake the trust foundation of the great powers, especially Britain and the United States, in the Fengxian guarantee of their interests in China - you can eat away at it without hurting the principle, but you cannot deny it.  .  Especially under realistic conditions, it is not advisable to make too many enemies.

    But for other parts beyond the treaty, such as various privileges outside the territory, Fengxian implemented flexible restraints, which not only firmly restricted Japanese influence to Guandong Prefecture, Jiaodong and several Japanese concessions, but also made the Japanese speechless.  .  The national policy set by Zhang Hanqing at this stage is to target Japan and ease relations with other powers.

    International games follow the iron rule of geometry that "the sum of two sides is greater than the third side"; in professional terms of international politics, a country cannot conflict with two big countries at the same time. No big country in the world has the power to compete with more than two big countries.  Confrontation between great powers.

    At first, the ancient Romans only fought for self-defense, first with the Gauls in the north, and then with the Carthaginians in the south. After winning the victory, they continued to attack the entire Mediterranean countries. The result was enmity on all sides and "barbarian" opponents from all directions.  came and caused the instant collapse of the Roman Empire;

    At the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon fought against the British and achieved great victory. Then in 1912, he led a bold invasion into Russia and suffered defeat in the following three years;

    In the 1940s, Germany's Hitler began to oppose Britain and won Western Europe. In 1941, when he was proud, he marched straight to Russia, and was defeated in three years. At the same time, Japan began to go to war with China, winning initially, and at the end of 1941, it  The United States went to war and failed three years later;

    In the 1950s, the United States faced China and the Soviet Union on the Korean battlefield, and the United States was defeated in three years; in the Vietnam battlefield in the 1960s, the United States still faced off against China and the Soviet Union. The time was longer, but the result was a loss of face.

    During the Brezhnev period, the Soviet Union was in full confrontation with China and the United States. As a result, the Soviet Union was quickly defeated and disintegrated during the Gorbachev period.

    After George W. Bush came to power in the early 21st century, he even named seven so-called "axis of evil" countries to challenge him. The result is what we see now: the United States is a tiger that eats the sky, and it collapsed after the tiger's power was exhausted

    On the contrary, those who win in these strategic games are the politicians who minimize their opponents and minimize their attack surface.  These politicians will never choose two opponents to fight at the same time. The most classic example is China's self-defense counterattack against India in 1962.

    In 1962, China was facing severe natural disasters. Chiang Kai-shek was preparing to counterattack the mainland in the southeast. The Soviet Union caused the "exodus" of Xinjiang residents in the north. India took the opportunity to encroach on Chinese territory on the Sino-Indian border.  Among these three dangers, Chairman Mao attacked from the southwest, which had the least damage, and cleverly took advantage of the Cuban missile crisis to control the war within a limited scope.

    On October 20, the United States blocked Cuban waters, and the Soviet Union and the United States were at war with each other.  China counterattacked across the board that day.  On November 20, Kennedy announced the final end to the blockade, and on November 21, the Soviet Union also lifted its mobilization order for the army.  On that day, China instituted a comprehensive ceasefire against India.

    The choice of fighter aircraft has never given a third country the opportunity to intervene and enable India to gain allies.  a battleAfter that, the surrounding opponents basically died down.  In 1964, Khrushchev was ousted, Nehru died, and China successfully tested an atomic bomb.  This opens up China¡¯s security landscape.  This military experience of great Mao is really worth summarizing for future generations.

    Zhang Hanqing also wants to overthrow imperialist aggression in China, whether it is Japan, Britain and the United States, or the Soviet Union, which currently has a similar concept of one-party dictatorship.  But according to China's national conditions, it is impossible at this stage anyway.

    Not to mention the United States, which already ranks first in the world in industrial economy, or the United Kingdom, which is "declining" as an empire. Its maritime power is no longer what China can rely on. There is also China's thousand-year sting, and its strong neighbor Japan, which has plunged China into fear of national subjugation.  Each one seems like an insurmountable high wall, weighing heavily on China.

    Britain and the United States are thousands of miles away. They have no territorial covetousness towards China, only disputes over interests.  A war with Britain and the United States will drag China into a bottomless abyss, and there will be no winner in the end.

    Japan is different. Japan, which has been striving for development in Northeast Asia, cannot afford to fight a large-scale war of attrition due to its national strength and geographical limitations. Its military strength, except for China at sea, cannot be compared for the time being.  , China on land has no need to worry about it.

    According to the development trend of the People's Army, it won't be long before China's advantages over Japan will be revealed.  At that time, one thing rose and another disappeared, and the situation was completely different.

    So in terms of time, China needs to delay.  In terms of policy, China needs to support itself.  In terms of current strategy, China needs peace and Fengtian needs peace.

    It is fair to assume that Japan does not dare to take action - even if it takes action, it will be quickly stopped - there are already British and American capital industries in the Northeast and Bohai Sea area, and it will not be good for everyone if it is destroyed.  And if the Feng faction is really determined to fight Japan to the death, Japan will not have much confidence in winning.  Even if we win, if we win miserably, and if we can no longer get compensation from China, it will not be worth the loss.

    At this time, Japanese Prime Minister Tomosaburo Kato was Japan's chief representative and person in charge of disarmament affairs at the Washington Conference. Although he had been the chief of staff of the Combined Fleet during the Russo-Japanese War, he was the second-ranking figure in the fleet, and he was also the trumpeter who advocated the establishment of the "Eight-Eight Fleet"  , but in order to cope with the fact that the economic downturn after World War I required fiscal consolidation and disarmament, he reluctantly announced that he had given up the plan to establish the "Eighty-Eight Fleet":

    Abandoned the construction plan of fourteen battleships, suspended the manufacture of six battleships, laid off 7,500 sailors below corporals, and laid off 14,000 workers; the Army also began to reduce the number of troops by 60,000, and withdrew from Siberia

    He is a prime minister with a military background and has a high degree of policy implementation.

    In this environment, it is impossible for Japan to become an enemy of China. This is also a big gamble made by Zhang Hanqing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
