New Warlords 1909

"Worried? What am I worried about? I have no conspiracy, although I will not participate

Party, but everyone will know that I was one of the founders of the party. ) 7 Why do we attract those passionate young people to join?The mission and belief of the rise of our nation and the rejuvenation of the country, do you still worry about others knowing? "

"If I don't agree, I refuse your request, what will you do to me?"

"Let you go, but we will not admit that we saved you, nor will we admit that we have met before!" Hua Fei put on a fake beard, glasses and hat, and finally said, "I hope Mr. Song will think about it, I Waiting for the good news from sir!"

Until Hua Fei left for a long time.Song Jiaoren was still considering Hua Fei's words.He believed that even without his help, with Hua Fei's current reputation and the temptation of the power of the local self-government, many young people would apply to join the Baath Party.In particular, the endorsement class of the Baath Party includes workers, peasants, and handicraft merchants. These are all group classes that the Revolutionary Party ignores. Needless to say, once the Baath Party is established, the number of party members will surely reach a considerable number in a short period of time .Moreover, Hua Fei's prestige in Jiangsu and Shanghai is very high, and his support and support are definitely not in the minority.So why did he spend so much effort to value himself so much?

Not to mention Song Jiaoren's struggle, but after Hua Fei left the concession, he was also uncertain.It is not that the Baath Party cannot do without Song Jiaoren, but without the support of a charismatic and influential figure, especially one who is proficient in political party work, it will be difficult to develop smoothly.Song Jiaoren is not only familiar with the law, but also the responsible cabinet he advocates is in line with Hua Fei's philosophy. More importantly, Song Jiaoren is not a politician who is keen on fame and fortune.

The Chinese Renaissance Party, I believe it will definitely cause a sensation in the land of China.But these are not the focus of Hua Fei's worries. He almost returned from Song Jiaoren's visit, and he plunged into the head office of the Jiangnan Factory again, looking at the machine introduction and construction plan for the torpedo factory recently completed by the technicians of the Jiangnan Factory, as well as grenades, mines, mines, etc. Weapon upgrade plan.

Most of the torpedoes used in the aircraft were imported or trial-produced by the Jiangnan factory. Due to the complex structure of the torpedo, precision is required, and the technical foundation and level of our country are too poor to be well mastered and have not been developed and produced.Therefore, in the plan, along with the introduction of the machine, there is also technical support from technicians.

"Commander, we have submitted our proposals to the consulates of several countries, but they have all declined! Since our factory has production machines for grenades and mines, there are not many obstacles to upgrading and expanding the plan. However, regarding the technical support for torpedoes, countries have responded. It’s relatively plain!” Bai Shiyuan, who made this plan, was a mid-level technician at the Jiangnan Factory, but Hua Fei heard from Guan Dahammer that he had been actively developing and improving torpedo production, but he couldn’t get the support of the general office. failed, so I gradually gave up.

Hua Fei immediately found him, and when he finished his torpedo factory construction plan to this forty-something mechanic, Baishi immediately put all his energy and enthusiasm into making a torpedo factory in just one night. A comprehensive and detailed plan.

"Refused? Americans and Germans also refused?" Hua Fei raised his chin and frowned slightly.

"Although Mr. Smith of the American Consulate did not refuse, he made it clear that the introduction of naval weapons would be difficult, saying that he would encounter strong opposition from various countries! As for the Germans, they only said that they would consider it, but they have not yet given an answer!"

Encountered strong opposition from various countries?Hua Fei suddenly remembered the battle with the Beiyang Navy. Could it be that the victory in the naval battle aroused the vigilance and attention of all countries?A strong army only increases the intensity of the civil war. In some senses, this is even what they want to see.

But now Hua Fei not only has an air force that attracts the attention of all countries in the world, but also gradually develops a navy.This makes Britain, France, Russia, Japan and other countries more and more worried. If this continues, Huafei is likely to pose a serious threat to their existence.

Hua Fei snorted softly, and the pencil in his hand was snapped off, and immediately said to the chief of guard Wang Meng, "Wang Meng, send someone to contact Edsy. I want to see him and hope to make a big deal with him!"

"Tell Qin Man, let him come to see me!"

At the end of 1913, World War I was about to begin, but Hua Fei found that many countries, including Germany, suddenly kept their distance from him and seemed to be wary.This surprised him greatly. You must know that even when Shanghai was first attacked, the foreigners still adopted a default attitude!Is it because of that naval battle?

What Hua Fei didn't know was that after he completed the actual control of the three places of Jiangsu and Shanghai, representatives of various countries submitted many cooperation plans to the military staff!But those programs are clearly in an unequal condition, some even go too far.

So Hua Fei didn't even think about it, and rejected most of the cooperation plans!

At the same time, Yuan Shikai in the north sent representatives, had extensive contacts with ministers of various countries, and even reached a series of secret agreements, in order to isolate Hua Fei and win the support of foreigners so that he could take the initiative in self-government negotiations right!

In addition, in the sea battle on Snake Mountain Island, Hua Fei used the air force and torpedoes to show his prowess in the sea battle, which even stirred the nerves of the navies and air forces of various countries!It seems that this weak Eastern Empire has become the world's air force power overnight.Not only took the lead in using the air force to enter the army battle, but also used torpedoes to sink naval ships!This news set off a wave of heat in the media of various countries. Many military officers even wrote to the newspaper office, sternly reprimanding the false report of the newspaper office, and asserted that this is absolutely impossible!

But this is indeed not a false report. The military circles of many countries have begun to pay attention to Hua Fei's power!Although his current strength is still not worth mentioning in the eyes of other countries, his development speed and aggressive momentum are not to be ignored!Some countries have even begun to evaluate Hua Fei, estimating the impact of his rise on China and the interests of other countries in China.

After almost receiving the news from Hua Fei, Edsy packed up his luggage and drove straight to the Jiangnan factory.Recently, Germany received diplomatic notes from Britain, France and other countries, expressing concern about countries supporting the construction of China's sensitive weapons and equipment, and hoping that countries will take practical actions to safeguard their economic interests in China.

The note made it very clear that they had already expressed their dissatisfaction with the construction of the Huafei military factory aided by the United States and Germany. As for the torpedo factory proposed by Huafei recently, they expressed great concern.Although Edsey also hopes to expand cooperation with Huafei, Prime Minister Holwig does not want to offend the British, so he telegraphs the German Minister in China to suspend sensitive military cooperation with Huafei.

"Dear Commander, I am sorry for my previous negligence,

When I received your letter, I made a special trip to come here immediately. I hope to provide a reasonable explanation for me and my country's T[! "As soon as Edsey saw Hua Fei's face, he said very sincerely.

Hua Fei had just read the few pieces of information collected by Qin Man, and had a preliminary understanding of the matter.Immediately, he went up to hold Edsy's hand, and said with a smile, "Edsy, my dear friend, you don't need to give any explanation! This time I called you here to talk about the delivery time of the plane you ordered! "

"Airplane? Delivery?" Edsey was taken aback. After his order for [-] aircraft was placed, Hua Fei transferred all the aircraft for his own use due to the civil war, so so far, they have not even one aircraft Didn't even touch it.

"Yes, if I remember correctly, your country has placed orders for a total of 20 aircraft. The Wing Loong aircraft factory can now produce more than [-] aircraft per month. When the latest batch of machines and workers are installed and trained, one It will be able to produce forty or fifty aircraft a month. It only takes more than two months to complete your order!"

"Great!" Edsi excitedly stood up from his seat, stepped forward to hold Hua Fei's hand.If Germany can obtain a batch of such aircraft, then their air force will soon surpass Britain and France. "Your Excellency, you are really a friend of our Germans!"

"In addition, I have a proposal that I hope Mr. Edsey can pass on to your government. I hope that a strategic partnership agreement can be reached with your country."

"Strategic partner?" Edsey was taken aback, apparently he had never heard of this new term.

"That is to say, we have carried out all-round and multi-field cooperation with your country, established a long-term and stable cooperation mechanism, strengthened communication, and strengthened economic cooperation and construction! As a partner country, we will provide your country with the commodities you need with priority and good prices and products, including coal and minerals, and even military products such as weapons and ammunition!" Hua Fei simply explained.

Edsy's eyes lit up quickly, he understood the meaning of this agreement very well.As a new country, Germany was isolated and excluded in the world.Many years ago, Kaiser Wilhelm II attempted to form the Triple Alliance of China, the United States and Germany in order to counter the British-Japanese alliance, but finally gave up for various reasons.Although this partnership agreement is not an alliance agreement, it can allow Germany to benefit from it, and at least it can restrict Britain's ally in Asia, Japan.

Although Edsey was not interested in the weapons, ammunition and military products that Hua Fei mentioned, Germany was still very eager for the resources such as coal and minerals that Hua Fei mentioned!

"Your Excellency, Commander, please rest assured! I will definitely convey your wishes to the Prime Minister and His Majesty the Emperor, and I will give you an answer soon!"

"Looking forward to hearing from you!"

Edsey comes in a hurry and goes in a hurry!Although Hua Fei was not low on whether he could sign a cooperation agreement with Germany, he knew that the conditions he offered would definitely be a huge temptation for Germany.Feng Ru and others are developing Pioneer [-], so the existing Pioneer [-] is not very attractive to Hua Fei. In order to make money and train a large number of skilled workers, it is necessary to maintain the high-speed operation of the factory!

The time, November 1913, was less than ten months before the outbreak of World War I.For Huafei, these ten months are an opportunity to develop rapidly, improve a certain industrial foundation, and increase the number of major industrial products!

The output of grain, cotton, coal, iron, steel, and even petroleum and rubber are all important manifestations of a country's industrial development value.

But now in the whole of China, even the output of coal is only a few million tons, which is less than a fraction of that in foreign countries.

Although the torpedo production plan has been affected, weapons such as grenades and landmines can still be produced, although there may be some technical gaps.Moreover, although countries began to be wary of Huafei, they did not openly hostile to him, nor did they impose an embargo on him, which allowed the production of many industrial products such as engines and aircraft to continue.

A myriad of things were all on Hua Fei's desk, which made Hua Fei so tired that he barely got 4 hours of sleep every day.It also strengthened his desire to form an autonomous government as soon as possible.

After half a month of negotiation and negotiation, Yuan Shikai's representative and the representative sent by Hua Fei finally signed a provisional covenant of self-government after lengthy negotiations.

The Covenant stipulates that the self-government rate belongs to an agency of the central government and has complete autonomy.After the governor of the autonomous government is elected by the parliament, he needs to be appointed by the central government.

The self-government can have an army, but the establishment cannot exceed three armies, the number cannot exceed 10, and the military expenses are completely borne by themselves.Those who are officers above the division level need to report to the Beijing Ministry of Army for approval.

The self-government has all rights including finance, education, police, etc., but does not have independent diplomatic power.Moreover, the self-government finances need to turn over the total fiscal revenue to the central finance three times a year.The customs duties and other revenues of Shanghai and other places do not belong to the local finance, but they can be temporarily kept by the local finance, and [-]% of the relevant expenses will be withheld before deportation to the central finance.

In areas under the jurisdiction of the autonomous government that are in urgent need of reconstruction due to war trauma, the central treasury collected on behalf of them can be converted into development and construction funds, which will be handed over to the central government to earn money after three years, and customs duties and customs clearance will resume deportation to the central government after one year.

Regarding the prisoners in the war, the central government and the self-government will negotiate separately.As for the seizure of properties of relevant officials and dignitaries in Suzhou, Shanghai and other places, it will be resolved through separate negotiations.As for the seized Bank of Communications and Bank of China, they will resume operations soon!

……

All agreements are basically in line with Hua Fei's intentions, even if some concessions are made, they are still acceptable!Hua Fei's top priority is to form a local government as soon as possible and accelerate the pace of local construction.As for those formal rules and regulations, Hua Fei didn't think Yuan Shikai would care much about them!

Regarding the issue of releasing some captive officers and negotiating the seizure of many bureaucratic properties, Hua Fei can also make a retreat!The occupation and plunder of economy and resources by bureaucratic capital is terrifying and catastrophic!Hua Fei's original intention was to confiscate these properties, but the resistance he encountered was greater than all the problems. Even many business people in Shanghai who were not involved in the business also came to persuade him.

"Commander Hua, may I ask if you will take up the post of governor of the autonomous government?" At the press conference after the signing of the agreement, countless reporters rushed to ask questions.

"I can't answer this question for you for the time being, because the self-government needs to be elected. Similarly, the post of governor also needs to be elected by the self-government's parliament!"

144 Program Summary

Commander Hua, since the prisoners of the army will be negotiated and released, will the Navy TF and other warships also be returned to the central government? "

Hua Fei was slightly taken aback, and immediately replied seriously, "If our silent destroyer can be intact, if the thousands of soldiers who died in the Huaibei battlefield can return to their hometowns. I want to reiterate that this war is not up to us. Provoked!"

All the reporters were recording quickly. It was an extremely rare opportunity to interview the legendary Hua Commander publicly and collectively.

As soon as Hua Fei's voice fell, a reporter immediately asked, "Commander Hua, the autonomous region can have [-] troops. Can this guarantee the security of the autonomous region? Can the autonomous region afford such a huge military expenditure?"

"You shouldn't ask me this question! How many troops we have is not up to us to decide!" Hua Fei's ingenious answer made many reporters chuckle.Some people were stunned for a long time before they realized that it turned out that Hua Fei was saying that the number of troops in the autonomous region was determined by the central government.If the military pressure of the central government increases, it is obvious that their self-defense forces will also expand accordingly.As for the establishment quota of the three armies in the agreement, I'm afraid even children can't be fooled.
