"Similarly. We will not use any excuses to deprive the sacred human rights. The sacred right to life! The premise is. You don't violate the most basic morals and norms as a human being! Politics. The country. The nation, etc. can be condemned Your reason. But it cannot be an excuse to deprive you of your life!"

Those Radical Democratic Party members who united with foreigners and attempted to subvert the self-government were severely punished, not only imprisoned for many years, but also deprived of political rights.Others who advocated infiltrating the military and controlling the Democratic Party's own armed forces were mostly dismissed from public office or fined.As for some civil servants who have colluded with local gentry, they will be dealt with in accordance with the Integrity Law.
Different offenses carry different penalties.The most shocking thing is those members of the Democratic Party who unite with foreigners.If there is no amnesty, the lives of these people are basically ruined.Hua Fei also used this form to tell everyone that I can tolerate any mistakes you make, but you must never collude with foreigners and betray national interests.
After this reform, the Democratic Party's seats in the parliament dropped sharply.However, in the subsequent parliamentary assembly, everyone voted with an absolute majority to pass the resolution that no more members will be added during the term of the current government.In this way, the Baath Party, which originally only accounted for more than 50.00% of the parliamentary seats, instantly occupied nearly 70.00% of the parliamentary seats, becoming an absolute majority party.
Sun Wen, Song Jiaoren, Huang Xing and other bigwigs of the Democratic Party basically kept silent in this incident.Because Hua Fei acted within the framework of the law from the beginning to the end.Dealing with those Democrats is also full of evidence.Their only dissatisfaction is that, as high-level officials of the autonomous government, they don't even know when the special police force was formed, and they don't know where there is a secret investigation bureau.
Some centrist members of the Democratic Party and members of other parties also acquiesced to this fact after Hua Fei's declaration was released.No matter what kind of thoughts they have, they are all thankful that Hua Fei calmly restrained and did not go on a killing spree.After all, Hua Feihua's reputation for killing gods is not so loud!
After the public security campaign, Du Yuesheng and Xiang Xian visited secretly one after another.Hua Fei didn't explain much, but just told them that the management of public security was under the control of the autonomous government.I hope they can control themselves and understand what to do and what not to do!
As for Xiang Xian, Hua Fei severely reprimanded him.Warn him not to try to expand the strength of the gang, but to shrink, essence, and complete control!And strive to develop into a secret investigation bureau, the third source of intelligence besides the military intelligence bureau.
As for the source of income, tell Xiang Xian to abandon those businesses without technical content, and focus on casinos, loan sharks, brothels and other industries as sources of funds.Let them take the high-end route, and prohibit extending business to civilians. It is best to target foreigners in the concession.
Some industries, you can never ban.Blocking is worse than sparseness, which is an important reason why Hua Fei asked Xiang Xian to establish his own gang.But seeing that everything was going beyond his imagination, Hua Fei had no choice but to give some pointers to Xiang Xian.Except for these relatively low-harm industries, Hua Fei warned Xiang Xian that other industries, such as kidnapping, drug trafficking, and extortion, were strictly enforced by law and order.Moreover, the self-government will not provide an umbrella for the Poison Hand Society.Even if Xiang Xian was arrested, Hua Fei could only guarantee that he would not be sentenced alone.
Since the assassination of the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the relationship between Austria-Hungary and Serbia has become increasingly tense, and the sky over Europe has been clouded, causing the energy of Britain, France and other countries to turn to the mainland.The arrest of suspects in the concession, which was supposed to be a huge diplomatic event, ended up being nothing.
Soon, the Austro-Hungarian Empire issued an ultimatum to Serbia. Five days later, on July 7, the Austro-Hungarian Empire officially declared war on Serbia with the unconditional support of Germany.Two days later, Russia fully mobilized and sent troops to aid Serbia.On the third day, Germany declared war on Tsarist Russia, and then sent troops to Luxembourg the next day.
subsequently.Germany and France declare war.Germany invades neutral Belgium.Britain's pathetic policy of 'conservative neutrality' quickly collapsed.Officially declares war on Germany.soon.Austria-Hungary declares war on Russia.Serbia declares war on Germany.Britain declares war on Austria-Hungary.during this process.U.S.Italy has declared neutrality.
In just over ten days.The major powers in Europe have declared war one after another.World War I broke out in full swing.However at this time.countries including Germany.Most believed the war would be over within a few months.No one thought of it.This war begins.It will be a long war of more than four years.
It is different from the dullness of the Beiyang central government.at 810.It was also the day when Lu Youyun sent the birthday dinner invitation post.Hua Fei arrived in Nanjing by train.The main members of the coalition cabinet.Hold a secret meeting.A press release was issued at [-]:[-] p.m. that day.Formal telegram statement to countries all over the world.The government of Jiangsu and Shanghai Autonomous Region, China.Remain neutral in this war.Nationals of any belligerent country.All enjoy sacred human rights and property protection in the autonomous region.
A regional local self-government of the Far East.Issue such a neutral energization statement.It really didn't arouse the interest of many countries.But there is a clause in the electrification.But it made Britain, France, the United States and other countries feel indignant.
In neutral powerup.self-government regulations.French Concession and Public Concession in Shanghai area.Strictly observe the terms of neutrality.Do not get involved in war.Spread the war to the east.
All factories in the mainland of the concession.War materiel shall not be sent to their respective countries.Nationalities in the Concession Mainland.Fighting of any kind is not allowed.If there are any signs of instability.The Shanghai Police Department has the right to take over the public security in the concession.stabilize the situation.
In addition, in view of the fact that countries are in a state of war, the Boxer indemnity that should have been paid to each country will be suspended.At the same time, customs staff will be stationed to temporarily accept all customs defenses in Shanghai, so as to prevent the customs intercepted by various countries from being used for war.
At the same time, Shanghai was declared a passport-free open city.Citizens of all belligerent countries are free to enter the Shanghai Public Concession and the French Concession.
These last few annotated statements elicited violent reactions from various countries.In particular, the police took over the power of public security in the concession, suspended the Boxer indemnity, and took over the customs defense, which caused an uproar.
The Concession Industry Bureau immediately issued a solemn statement, warning the autonomous government to strictly abide by the relevant agreements of the concession and not to break the law without authorization and cause diplomatic tension.At the same time, I warned the police force of the autonomous government not to enter the concession area without permission, otherwise the concession will not be responsible for the consequences.
Countries, especially Japan, reacted most violently to the self-government's statement to suspend the payment of Boxer indemnity.Historically, after the First World War, due to China's "status" as the victorious country, all countries successively gave up or returned part of the boxer indemnity, but Japan did not refund a penny, and made every effort to develop armaments and education.
Coupled with the loss of investment in oil exploration in the province not long ago, the anger of the Japanese government has obviously been pushed to the brink of outbreak.The wording is the strongest, and it also declares that it will not hesitate to use force to solve the problem.
Seeing that the gaffe is getting more and more serious, Britain, France and other countries are not willing to lose Hua Fei, the support force of the Far East, after all, he has
War veterans.If the Far East loses control, the impact on their interests will be damaged.It's just that most of their energies are concentrated in Europe at the moment, so apart from sending ministers to mediate, they seem to have forgotten their original opposition position.
As for Huafei's announcement of Shanghai as a passport-free open city, it has received unanimous praise from all countries.Many Western newspapers and media have also spared no expense in their praise.It's just that no one thought that this war would be a nightmare for Europe.So that in the middle and late period of the war, countless Europeans moved to Shanghai one after another. This is a later story.
The Beiyang central government and the southern provinces generally have an attitude towards Hua Fei, who is in the early stage.Boxer's indemnity was originally scheduled to be paid in various banks in Shanghai. If Hua Fei really refused to pay the indemnity, he really has the ability.That means that the provinces will be able to avoid sending Shanghai to the apportionment of indemnities. Why don't you do it?
For the Beiyang government, the more rigid the relationship between foreigners and the self-government, the better it is for them!Therefore, the Beiyang Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not issued a statement of neutrality in addition to issuing a notice that countries are not allowed to fight in the territorial waters of China's territory and leased areas such as Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and Japan.
At the same time that Germany declared war on Russia, Colonel Melvadeck, the German governor of Qingdao, declared martial law.The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs also announced that it is ready to fulfill the obligations of the Anglo-Japanese alliance when necessary.
While Europe was in full swing, the situation in East Asia became extremely complicated because of a neutral announcement from the Huafei Autonomous Government. On 813, Japan issued an ultimatum to Germany, requiring the German warships to withdraw from the waters of Japan and China, and to hand over Qingdao to Japan before September 9, and to reply before noon on the 10nd.
At the same time, Japan notified China that if Germany refused to accept its conditions, it would go to war. Please trust the Japanese government, and if there is a civil strife in China, it is willing to help China to calm down.In addition, it also stated to the United States that Germany must surrender Qingdao unconditionally so that it can be returned to China in the end, and expressed that it has no land ambitions for China and is willing to cooperate with the United States.
Germany's charge d'affaires Marzan expressed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing that he was willing to return Qingdao and the Jiaoji Railway.At the same time, Edsi, the minister assistant who has a close relationship with Hua Fei, also secretly visited Hua Fei.
"My dearest friend, thank you for meeting me at this time!" Edsy understood very well that Hua Fei, who had just returned to Shanghai, had obviously met representatives from several countries.As the most important treaty port and industrial and commercial city in the autonomous region, Shanghai's fiscal and taxation accounts for more than half of the entire autonomous region's share, so it is conceivable that Huafei attaches great importance to Shanghai.
Since the establishment of the autonomous government, the cabinet team has generally presided over government affairs in Nanjing.And Hua Fei and some members of the staff of the army headquarters stayed in Shanghai most of the time.
"Edsey, my friend. You know that when you arrived in Shanghai, there were too many gentlemen who came to visit. I'm really sorry that I didn't see you at the first time! In addition, I hope you can understand the neutrality statement of the autonomous government. After all, this is the decision of the self-government government. Although I am the vice chairman, I have no right to prevent the passage of this statement!"
What Edsey didn't know was that in fact, most of the cabinet members were extremely conservative and even objected to this telegram statement.They really don't understand that the autonomous region has just entered the regular track of development, why Hua Fei should offend foreigners at this time, this is really an irrational decision!
In the end, Hua Fei could not, say, if the cabinet government did not pass this decision.Then he will issue this neutral notice in the name of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the autonomous region.Or submit this statement to Parliament for a vote!
Announcements issued in the name of the army and votes in parliament?Why not tell the world in a disguised form that the autonomous region has become ruled by a military government again?Isn't it telling everyone directly that there are huge divisions and disagreements in the cabinet government?As for the parliament, with the Baath Party occupying the vast majority, is it possible that Hua Fei's bill will not pass?The biggest key is that Hua Fei has great prestige and support among the people!They don't even enjoy widespread support from public opinion.
Of course, these secrets cannot be told to outsiders.
"Oh, my friend, I personally fully understand this! I have come here today to convey the will of His Majesty the Kaiser of our country. My Majesty the Kaiser of the German Empire promises that if the commander's self-government joins the German war If the country declares war, we will not only hand over Qingdao and the Jiaoji line to the autonomous government, but also refund all Boxer indemnities, and hand over some national cultural relics kept for China to the autonomous region government.”
"In addition, we also promised to assist the government of the autonomous region in building a torpedo production line, and to help the government of the autonomous region build a chemical industry factory, a pharmaceutical factory, an aluminum chemical factory, and a new large-scale synthesis factory for free. In addition, we loaned the previous one billion gold mark , all given to your self-government in exchange for your gift for participating in the war!"
After Edsey finished speaking, he looked at Hua Fei nervously.He even omitted all the politeness, and directly stated his purpose clearly.
Hua Fei didn't seem to be moved by it, he knew that the Germans would definitely come to win him over.Because Britain, France, Russia and other countries have sent representatives one after another, saying that if Hua Fei is willing to stand on their side, they all expressed some support for the neutrality announcement not long ago, and promised many benefits.
This is not surprising to Hua Fei. Although he is only an autonomous government, his military power in the Far East cannot be underestimated.Moreover, it is also one of the few powerful armed forces in the Far East that has the power of the three armed forces, especially the Air Force and Army. In the Far East, they are definitely strong.
"My training, Edsey, our government's neutrality notice was carefully considered! I won't hide it from you. Britain, France, Russia and other countries have come to talk to me one after another, but I have rejected their requests!"
Hua Fei smiled and said slowly, "Of course, as my closest friend, I will not let you fail to explain to Your Majesty! Well, as a neutral country, as long as Germany recognizes our neutral status, we will We will assist your country with various supplies, including food, coal, steel, and even guns, artillery, and ammunition! As long as you need what we have, we will give you preferential treatment!"
"And as my closest friend, I will definitely protect the lives and interests of German nationals in the Far East. We express great dissatisfaction with the Japanese government's request that your country hand over Qingdao and the Jiaoji line. Sovereignty belongs to China, and Japan has no right to take over! My friend, please tell Your Majesty that if Japan dares to invade the German nationals in Qingdao, we will definitely send troops to maintain the status and peace of our neutral country.
"
The conditions put forward by the Germans are very tempting, but that sentence is good, as long as the problem can be solved by money, it is not a problem.Knowing the trend of war, he certainly would not choose a camp prematurely.edsey
There is the most perfect promise, but the promise of Hua Fei's material support, especially the promise of support, is quite satisfactory.
Now that there is a promise of arms support, the transfer of torpedo technology is of course not a problem.Moreover, in order to reach a related transaction, Aidexi even promised to license the synthetic patented production rights to Huafei's joint venture chemical factory for free.In addition, it not only transferred the production technology of G7 torpedo, but also assisted two torpedo production experts to provide technical guidance for torpedo production.
Hua Fei's torpedo research has achieved certain technical achievements.Therefore, Huafei did not fully introduce the production line of G7 torpedoes, but only asked for technical and production guidance.Combining the technology I researched with the G7 torpedo technology, although it cannot be said to be a breakthrough, at least it will have its own characteristics.
These agreements were all signed in secret. Global Trading Company has now received one 1-ton, one 3-ton, and one 1-ton freighter, plus the other several thousand-ton small cargo ships it purchased. up to 6 tons.As soon as the relevant agreement was signed, the Global Trading Company began full-scale operations. Some of the goods that had been stored in the warehouse for a long time, such as flour, matches, cigarettes, salt sugar, biscuit bread and other products, were exported to Europe on board.
Most of these materials have not increased much in price at present, but these light industrial products that were basically unable to be exported before, and because of the outbreak of war, several countries understand the importance of stockpiling materials, so they also reached an agreement with Huafei to allow all industrial products in the autonomous region , Export to various countries, and enjoy preferential tariffs and even tariff-free policies.
Of course, there are some guns, weapons and ammunition that go to sea with the ship.On the surface, these military materials are still covered by civilian materials, and Hua Fei doesn't want to make a big fuss, so as not to cause complications.
In 820, Germany did not give any reply to Japan, and Japan started comprehensive military preparations long before issuing the ultimatum. On August 826, the German Governor’s Office in Qingdao announced that under special circumstances, Germany was willing to hand over the Qingdao and Jiaoji Lines to the Jiangsu-Shanghai Autonomous Government to temporarily take over, hoping that other countries would not intervene in China’s internal affairs.
Germany's statement once again aroused strong protests from Japan. The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement stating that it will completely take over all rights and interests of Germany in the Far East when necessary. Interference by any party will be regarded as a hostile act of declaring war on Japan.
The Beiyang government also subsequently issued a statement, officially declaring the status of a neutral country to all countries.And reiterated that it will not interfere with all actions of the self-government, and will not be responsible for all actions of the self-government.Subsequently, the Beiyang government issued a circular to the self-government requesting the self-government not to violate the neutrality statement of the central government, otherwise the central government will not provide any assistance to any disputes arising.
