New Warlords 1909

However, these are not the most important.For Hua Fei at this moment, a problem that should have been resolved long ago, and now is imminent, needs to be considered for full-scale deployment.That is, to complete the de facto unification of the country as soon as possible.

235 Interim Central President

The war is over, and under the great instigation of a butterfly, the whole world is changing.Not to mention the huge damage caused by World War I to Britain, France and other countries, because of the avoidance of military power and influenza, Germany also retained stronger war potential and human resources after the war ended.

Although the military compensation is not much lower than in history, France's tough stance has been loosened, and the restrictions on Germany's military power and land cession are also much looser than in history.But even so, there is still a wave of aggrieved public opinion in Germany, thinking that this is an unequal negotiation between Britain, France and other countries to suppress Germany and oppress Germany.There was a lot of voices from the people against the Provisional Government, and a historical trend remained unchanged. After the establishment of the Nazi Party, it began to grow rapidly in Germany.

In East Asia, due to a small-scale Sino-Japanese war, the relationship between the autonomous region and Japan has been very stiff.Due to various reasons, Britain, as an ally, did not fully stand on Japan's position in the end, but chose to mediate, which made Japanese political circles reflect on the nature of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.Although Japan eventually participated in World War I because of its national interests, its participation was not as extensive and deep as imagined.

Moreover, Japan's shipbuilding industry was severely damaged after being hit hard, and it did not recover until a year later.The shipbuilding industry was hit by this, which not only directly slowed down the expansion of the Japanese navy, but also severely hindered the development of Japan's shipbuilding industry.The development of the shipbuilding industry was hindered, and it also directly and indirectly affected the development of a series of heavy industries such as iron and steel, machinery, electric power, and shipping.Although after the end of World War I, Japan's total exports also had a considerable increase, and foreign trade also began to have a surplus.Both gold reserves and industrial production indexes have grown considerably, and they have also changed from a debtor country to a creditor country. However, there is still a certain distance between this development and the great development that Japan took advantage of during World War I in history.

More importantly, China's autonomous regions seized the opportunity of World War I. Under the multiple stimulus of policies and capital markets, the speed of development was astonishing, which greatly shortened the distance gap with the industrial indexes of various industrial powers.What is rare is that a basic heavy industry system and a relatively complete defense industry system have been gradually established in the autonomous region.

The raw material industry in other provinces, especially the provinces near the autonomous region, has achieved remarkable development and progress.

Although the whole of China is still in a state of civil war confrontation that may break out at any time, but with Hua Fei's great intervention efforts, at least so far, all parties have maintained a relatively peaceful and static state.

And as the call for an elected Congress is getting louder, political factions and forces can no longer ignore the voices of the people.This is directly related to the immediate rights and interests that many of them can have in a future congressional government.Against this background, people's livelihood has improved to a certain extent, both willingly and unwillingly.All provinces consciously or unconsciously imitate some policies and regulations of the autonomous region to carry out internal industrial economic construction.

Some members of the Chinese delegation returned to China after the meeting, while others stayed in the embassies of Britain, France and other countries to contact and follow up relevant cooperation matters.Of course, a few military personnel from the autonomous region, including Li Yue, entered Germany quietly in plain clothes and began to communicate secretly with the German government.

As we all know, although US President Wilson has been advocating the abolition of secret diplomacy and advocating peaceful diplomacy.But secret diplomacy has never disappeared in history.After Li Yue and others entered Germany, they began to use the contacts they had made with some Germans earlier and began to move around.

However, Hua Fei did not choose to stand with the Germans before the war.But regardless of its position in Shandong.It was still some secret agreement with the German government before declaring war on Germany.In addition, its assistance to Germany during the flu period and its friendliness towards Germans in China.All in the eyes of the Germans.Looks more aggressive than the French.I don't know how many times more friendly.Moreover, Li Yue and others came to discuss cooperation.To do business.You said that the Germans are extremely short of money and supplies.How can you refuse?

Make people.Especially the German admiral was taken aback.Li Yue and others first proposed the object.It turned out to be several of the latest strategic cruisers Mackensen-class and Bavarian-class battleships parked on the berth of the dock unfinished.Signed in the Treaty of Versailles.The number of naval personnel is limited to less than 5 members.In terms of ships, there can only be 6 to 6 battleship, [-] cruisers and [-] destroyer.Not allowed to own submarines.

so.under contractual constraints.The fate of all these unfinished warships.All will end in disintegration.And now.Someone actually came to the door.I want to buy back these big guys who are already tasteless to the Germans without alarming anyone.How can you say that the Germans are not surprised?

In addition to military cooperation.Li Yue and others also studied German geochemistry.medicine.field of industrial technology.Interested in many aspects such as the field of military technology.Want to carry out in-depth and extensive cooperation with Germany.And convey the meaning of Hua Feidi.The Germans are in economically difficult circumstances.You can use technology to exchange loans.Repay the war compensation to China.

These.It's just a preliminary cooperation intention.For specific terms and details.It will also be followed by professionals to conduct comprehensive negotiations.But at the moment, the Weimar Provisional Government, which is internally and externally troubled.Obviously it is very tempting to cooperate with these.Full of appeal.Regarding the purchase of Mackensen-class battlecruisers and Bavarian-class battleships.All will be sold to the Autonomous Region in the form of ordinary trade.To offset the war reparations to China.Because most of these warships have not been completed.Many were unarmed.Therefore, the Mackensen and the Earl Spey, which have already been launched, can leave China after installing the power facilities.As for the remaining two unfinished ships, the Prince Frederick and the Frederick Karl.Speed ​​up construction.Get in the water as early as possible.So that it can be driven back to China.

Because these warships are naked ships.The whole warship looks huge.But unarmed.So it's not really an arms export.But before the Mackensen and the Earl of Spey left port.After sailing to China.After the construction of the Prince Frederick and the Frederick Karl on the berth began.The representatives of Britain, France and other countries responsible for supervising Germany's armed forces discovered this situation and saw how secret this deal was.

The United Kingdom is very sensitive to other countries challenging their naval supremacy, which is an important reason why they are very sensitive to the number of other countries' battleships.Historically, the strength of the British navy was greatly weakened after World War I. Seeing other countries, especially

The strength of the country's navy has skyrocketed, so Britain tried every means to come up with an arms treaty, the main purpose of which is to limit the battleships of various countries.

Therefore, the Chinese responded very quickly when they found out about the transaction between China and Germany, and tried their best to prevent the sale of the two unfinished battleships of the Bavarian class to East Asia.For this reason, the British even united with France, not only exerting strong pressure on Germany to win over the United States and Japan, but also exerting huge diplomatic pressure on China.As for the four Mackensen-class battlecruisers, they are not armed at all, and they are completely empty hulls. Even if they are bought back by China, with Chinese technology, they may not be able to manufacture naval guns and many supporting facilities.In addition, the relationship between various countries is still quite close, and it is China's debtor country to stop the unfinished Mackensen-class battlecruiser, which is a bit unreasonable.

It was obviously extremely disappointing for the Bavarian battleship to be blocked by the Navy of the Autonomous Region.However, what everyone including Hua Fei did not expect was that the Chinese came up with the blueprint of the latest main battleship, the York-class battlecruiser, and proposed to help Hua Fei build it to compensate for the compensation for the Bavarian-class battleship project.

The York-class battlecruisers can be regarded as the last three of the seven Mackenson-class battlecruisers in the construction plan, but their design and technical performance indicators have undergone great changes.

The York class installed the same twin 380 mm turret as the Bavarian class.The size of the hull has not changed much, but the armor has been thickened again.Since the power equipment is the same as the Mackensen class, the speed is slightly slower.

Because of these factors, class ships can also be considered battleships.Due to the impact of the war, the construction of this class of ships was slow, and all construction was stopped in 918, and all of them only laid the keel.

York-class battlecruisers have a designed water volume of 33500~: and a maximum displacement of 38300~:.The size is 2278 meters long, 304 meters wide and 93 meters deep.The power plant uses 32 Walther boilers and 3 sets of Brown-Boveri steam turbines with a maximum power of 85000 horsepower.Using propellers, the twin rudders are propelled side by side, the design speed reaches knots, and the design endurance is 4 nautical miles at 5500 knots.Main gun, eight 8mm/380 caliber guns, four twin turrets.Secondary guns, 45 2mm/50 caliber guns, mounted on single mounts.Anti-torpedo boat/anti-aircraft gun, 45 8mm/88 caliber guns, single gun profile.Torpedo tubes, three 45mm torpedo tubes, installed underwater, one at the head and one under the turrets on both sides.The crew is expected to be 3 people, including officers.

Although it bears the name of a battle cruiser, this ship is not inferior to a battleship in terms of firepower or armor.What's even more rare is that his speed of up to knots is unmatched by all the current battleships in the world.The most important thing is that if this type of warship is built, not only will the Germans provide technical support, but it will also receive great reactions from countries such as Britain and France. It will also give you experience in building large-scale warships. It is really better than buying back the Bavarian-class battleships. s Choice. The speed of 27 knots can also catch up with the aircraft carrier formation planned by Huafei in the later stage, which plays an important role in the speed of the entire formation.

Just as the 2 Mackensen-class warships sailed unarmed to East Asia, the provincial peace conference, or the post-war spoils conference held by the provincial representatives was held in Nanjing.At the meeting, the most concerned issue for everyone, including the representatives of the Beiyang Military Department, was how much money they could get.However, Hua Fei still doesn't seem to understand everyone's most urgent question, and he just keeps mentioning the national peace initiative.Some of the political ideas that Hua Fei mentioned before, such as increasing the supervision of local finances, taking back the local military power of the provinces, all the military forces under the ownership of the central government, implementing the management of large military regions, prohibiting the establishment of local military factories and other related military industries, etc. They were all resubmitted and submitted to the representatives of the provinces for deliberation.Looking at Hua Fei's posture, if you don't discuss the results and want to get money from me, don't even think about it.

When everyone heard that it seemed that it was not that easy to get money, they began to fight haha.After all, with these terms, the interests of damage are not limited to 01:30.However, the representatives of the provinces are very happy that they do not want the figures of their Beiyang military department.Although they didn't understand how Hua Fei felt, there was no reason to reject the cakes that fell from the sky.

The representatives sent by the Beijing side praised Hua Fei, the vice president, and began to actively lobby everywhere.Said, look, if you don't agree to mention you, we can't get money from Hua Lianzi.Without money, everything is not empty.As long as you agree, the central government will naturally not make things difficult for you, and will take the autonomous region's finances first.

Many people have concerns, after all, Hua Fei doesn't think that he will be so stupid as to make this obvious mistake.A discerning person can see that Hua Fei's real intention of aggravating the centralization of power in this way is to aspire to the throne of the President.After all, as the first vice president, he is the legal heir under special circumstances stipulated by the national law.

In this special situation, if the president dies of illness and is unable to handle government affairs, or takes the blame and resigns and is assassinated and other emergencies, the vice president has the right to take over the duties of the president of the country.Hua Fei is urging the central government to concentrate power in this way. Could it be that his real intention is to grasp some of Li Yuanhong's shortcomings and be able to force Li Yuanhong to step down or risk assassinating Li Yuanhong?Will he really do that?

No one knew what Hua Fei would do, but after recuperating from the First World War and paying reparations, the strength of Hua Fei and the autonomous region increased greatly, and the military strength also increased several times.With his great strength, his ambition has grown accordingly, and it is obvious that he wants to win the central government.

Although many people have seen the mystery here, the temptation to share the spoils is too great.The so-called profit makes the mind stunned, people always like to take chances.They always think that as long as they get the money, they will go back and expand their military strength.No matter how powerful your national defense force is, if our provinces unite, your national defense force will have to worry about actual losses.

In addition, Hua Fei didn't seem to be in a hurry, because the money and the weapons allotted were all in his hands.If you have money, you can speed up the production of weapons, buy equipment, and expand your military power.The longer the delay, the better for the Wehrmacht.

The representatives of the provinces couldn't wait any longer, and everyone unanimously signed the Nanjing Peace Proposal in Nanjing.

, it formally has legal effect and can weaken local rights and

But after the signing of the proposal, Hua Fei didn't seem to loosen his intention to divide the money.Everyone was in a hurry, looking for Hua Fei everywhere to find out what happened, but Hua Fei was either in a shipyard or a steel factory, or an arsenal, or an aircraft factory, anyway, he could never come across it.Later, I managed to catch a staff officer from the First Office, and I found out after asking.It turned out that Hua Fei believed that since the North-South peace talks, the long-standing parliamentary re-election has been shelved for a long time, and now it is time to resolve it.Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to gather together, they negotiated a new election method for the Congress. After the new Congress was formed, Hua Fei transferred the war indemnity to the treasury, and then the Congress approved the distribution to the provinces.

Although the representatives of the various provinces were extremely depressed, they felt that they had been tricked by Hua Fei.However, Hua Fei's way of doing this is also reasonable for the Congress to review and distribute the budget.But these representatives no longer have the right to make such an important decision, and they have sent commissioners back to ask their highest authority for instructions on what to do.

In 9199, September 9th, this very ordinary early autumn season, the days were also ordinary.But the whole of China was shocked by Hua Fei's electrification, and China was in turmoil.

This report directly attacks the current Beiyang government in Beijing, and its focus is on the current Prime Minister Duan~.During the power-on, Hua Fei listed a lot of paragraphs~ The extremely affiliated army colluded with the Japanese, sold national sovereignty, mining rights, tax rights, etc., borrowed high-interest loans from Japan, purchased weapons, expanded military strength, and planned to start a civil war.

During the power-up, Hua Fei cited a series of evidence, accusing Duan Rui of acting for private interests, embezzling national wealth, arresting students who were demonstrating and protesting, and conspiring to organize a series of illegal means to eliminate dissidents.In short, the purpose of the electrification is to let Duan~ step down and accept the investigation and trial of the Supreme Court.

In addition, Hua Fei also accused the current president of dereliction of duty during the call, not only did not stop Duan Rui's traitorous behavior, but also condoned its development.As the great president, the issue of the National Assembly election after the reconciliation between the North and the South has been dragging on and on, and he cannot shirk his responsibility.During the call, Hua Fei, as an ordinary citizen, reprimanded Li Yuanhong for taking the blame and resigning to apologize to the people.

The reason why the electrification moved Shenzhou was not only that Hua Fei suddenly publicly declared war on the Beiyang central government, but also revealed many details of the secret agreement between Duan Rui and the Japanese.During this period, cooperation with foreigners, in the eyes of many people, as long as the land was not cut off for compensation, it was generally not regarded as traitorous.But with the awakening of national consciousness, especially after the first World War with Japan, many young people regard Japan as the biggest threat and enemy to China's revival and rise.So after these news came to light, the uproar and shock caused can be imagined.

Huge demonstrations were held in Beijing and other places. In Beijing alone, [-] students and workers took to the streets, went on strike, and chanted slogans that Duan Rui stepped down and Li Yuanhong resigned.Its momentum is huge, definitely since the establishment of Beijing, and it can be regarded as the most powerful in China's history.

I don't know if it was Duan~Rui who gave the order himself, or if the fingers of the soldiers below were trembling.The soldiers on guard opened fire on the marching crowd, killing more than 30 people on the spot and wounding more than 100 people, and more than 500 people were arrested by patrol police and put in prison.

On the [-]st, the Beiyang government armed to suppress peaceful demonstrations, Duan Rui openly ordered to shoot at unarmed civilians, blood flowed into rivers in the city of Beijing, and the north was clouded yesterday.Where is the law?Where is the axiom?Where is the justice?Where can the souls of dozens of heroic men rest in peace?

The news text and photo report of the Beiyang government's armed suppression of the peaceful parade deeply shocked everyone's eyes and hearts.So when Hua Fei easy-goingly sent out the second national telegram, people's acceptance was obviously much higher than expected.

Jiangdian, the Beiyang central government has violated the constitution and harmed the citizens of the country. It has been divorced from the foundation of the founding of the country and has become a new type of emperor who only knows dictatorship and centralized rule.In accordance with the Constitution and the will of the people, in the name of the vice president of the country, I formally announce the formation of the central government of the country, and I will serve as the interim president. When will the new parliament be convened by universal suffrage.

In the name of the Interim President of the Central Committee, I issued an ultimatum to Duan Rui, ordering him to surrender to the national public police within 24 hours and accept the investigation and trial of the Supreme Court.Li Yuanhong was ordered to issue a telegram announcement within 24 hours, and at the same time persuade all military factions in Beiyang to surrender to the central government, and not to be obsessed with obsession, so as to commit unforgivable crimes.

At the same time, Hua Fei, in the name of the interim president, called on the southern provinces to jointly form a law-protecting army to protect the authority of the country's constitution and the basic rights of the people, and fight for the country and the people.

So the powerful warlord factions in various places almost all cursed at the same time after reading this power-up, shit.Not shit what is it?Is that also called a peaceful demonstration?He almost rushed into the prime minister's office and took Duan ~ out and beat him up.The provisional president also maintains the authority of the constitution. I don’t know which article of the constitution stipulates that the vice president can threaten the president to resign and issue an ultimatum to the prime minister.

The bullshit peace initiative conference was originally to ease everyone's emotions, mobilize the army in private, and prepare for war.You see, not long after the power was released, the Second Army and the Sixth Army of the Autonomous Region had already begun to station in Hubei. The governor of Hubei, Wang Zhanyuan, barely resisted, and directly expressed his side with the provisional central government.The trend of the times, if you don’t read the newspapers in the whole south, they are all about the crusade against Duan~Rui, supporting the provisional central government’s reports.Moreover, as a province closest to the autonomous region, not to mention that Hubei Province itself has a garrison of the National Defense Forces. The National Defense Forces stationed ten armies and sent two armies with more than 6 people at once. How do you think Wang Zhanyuan can handle it? live?

In Hubei, the warlords in Sichuan, no matter whether it was because of Hua Fei’s favor and repayment, or under the threat of Hua Fei’s powerful force, they had to make a compromise, or it was money for fun.

In short, several warlord forces in Sichuan Province have connected power stations to the temporary central government.Wouldn't it be okay not to say so soon?It took less than a week for the National Defense Forces to occupy Hubei.If you have to slow down, maybe you will go straight to Sichuan.Although it is still difficult to occupy the entire province of Sichuan, they have fought from Chongqing to Chengdu. For the Sichuan army who have seen the combat effectiveness of the National Defense Forces, they still do not believe in this.

236 Peaceful Amnesty Act

919 years.For Hua Fei.It's a tough choice.The Russian Civil War 1919 was the most ferocious year of the Civil War.It was also a year when the Red Army changed from passive defense to difficult counter-offensive.Although Hua Fei has not sent troops.However, the condition for providing weapon support to the Russian warring parties is the need for cash transactions.No one knows which side will win.So the loan provides the risk of the arms.Still Hua Fei couldn't bear it.

Hua Fei's worries are only clear to him.If nothing unexpected happens.The Red Army would eventually win the Russian Civil War.The nascent Soviet Union rose in the north.Although many Chinese in later generations have a different feeling for the red Soviet Union.But no one can deny it.Another close ally.There are also differences of interest.And eventually parted ways.Even soldiers.Regardless of standing in China's position.Still standing on the standpoint of the Soviet Union.There is a presence of a powerful neighbor.Not always a safe choice.

Nicholas II in Shanghai.Nanjing.Sanhe and other places circled around.In order to persuade Hua Fei to send troops.He can be said to have tried his best.In order to persuade countries to step up intervention in the Russian Civil War.After Nicholas II saw no results in persuading Hua Fei.Fast forward to America.France.Britain and other countries.engage in diplomatic lobbying.Although the queen walked with him.But his three daughters are still in the sea.I don't know if it's to express closeness to Hua Fei.Or his daughters are really reluctant to wander around in a boat.

Unlike the European War.Although sent troops to war in Europe.There used to be great opposition within the Wehrmacht.But there are also many supporting opinions.And the most important thing is that Hua Feibai understands that he only needs to stand on the side of the winner.The end result is definitely not bad.
