"However, if the British want the original privileges and want to retain the Ministry of Industry, that is absolutely unacceptable. The concession, the reason why it is a concession, is because the administrative power is in the hands of foreigners, and we cannot interfere. We take back the concession. What is the purpose? The purpose is to take back the administrative power of the concession and let the concession accept our management. Now that the administrative power has been taken back to the hands of the Chinese government, how can we allow foreigners to continue to enjoy the original privileges, and how can we continue to retain institutions like the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. Regardless of whether it is the people of our country or foreigners, as long as they are on Chinese soil, they must abide by Chinese laws. If they do not abide by Chinese laws and still enjoy their original privileges, then what is the point of us taking back the concessions. "

What Dai Kan said was categorical.

Some will give way, some will not.

This is the bottom line.

The concessions have been withdrawn, and you British still want to continue to enjoy the privileges, where is such a cheap thing.If you British people are allowed to continue to have privileges, then why take back the concession.

"Prime Minister, what Premier Dai said is true."

Zhang Lan spoke.

"Government negotiations should have a bottom line. If we break the bottom line, we will not sign. And we can set off a new wave of 'anti-British', put pressure on the British concession, and put pressure on the British government."

Concession, a brand of an era, is also a great shame in modern China.

Zhang Lan and the others don't want to take back the concession all the time.Especially after taking back one concession after another in the past few years, Zhang Lan and the others hope that there will be no more concessions in China.

The performance is also getting tougher.

"I also hold the same point of view. Some money can be given up, but when it comes to administrative power, there must be no concessions. The British cannot continue to retain their original privileges. Organizations like the Ministry of Industry must be abolished."

Yu Youren also came out to support Dai Kan.

Some things can be compromised, and some things cannot be compromised.

"Prime Minister, this is a standard for negotiating with the UK. In future negotiations with other powers, they must also look at the results of the negotiations between the UK and China. If we make too many concessions when negotiating with the UK, especially in terms of administrative power, other The big powers will also ask for these things. Only when the big powers’ ideas are completely cut off this time can future problems be solved.”

Dai Kan spoke again.

This negotiation is a template, and future concession negotiations with foreign powers must be based on the results of this time.

Duan Xun was silent.

In fact, it is not a big problem to take back these concessions.

If China wants to take it back forcefully, what can Britain do?Can he still send troops to attack China?Can you still support a domestic opposition, can't you fight against Duan Xun?

It's impossible.

After the end of World War I, Britain no longer had the strength to confront China in the Far East.Duan Xun was really anxious, so Duan Xun really sent troops to attack the British colonies in Southeast Asia.

It's just that Duan Xun has to consider Britain's diplomatic changes.

Falling out with Britain, will Britain support Japan and reproduce the "British-Japanese alliance" of the year.But Duan Xun nodded quickly and made up his mind. So what if the "British-Japanese alliance" reappears in the Far East?

Can China back down?

As long as China itself is not chaotic, there is nothing to be afraid of the "British-Japanese alliance".

Some problems cannot be looked forward and backward.

Be tough when you should be tough.

"Everyone is right. Some issues can be compromised, and some issues must not be compromised. British public property can be retained, and our government also guarantees the personal safety and property safety of British citizens. However, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce must be abolished, and British citizens in China must abide by the law. Our country’s laws. Send a telegram to London and tell our delegation to be tougher. Tell the British government that if the concession issue is not resolved, China and Britain will not be able to resume normal diplomatic relations.”

"Yes."

Yan Shichao nodded.

"Also, some pressure should be put on the UK. In this way, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce issued invitations to all countries. They stated that as long as they abide by our laws, then my country welcomes goods from all countries to enter our country, and also welcomes countries to build factories in our country. my country is willing to work with All friendly nations sign a new 'Treaty of Commerce'."

Duan Xun has always been very cautious in introducing foreign capital.

why?

Because the current industrial base and economic base in China are too poor.Duan Xun is worried that the influx of foreign capital into the country is likely to destroy the fragile national capital and fragile national industry.

But now that China is short of funds, Duan Xun can only relax the conditions a little bit.

Allow some foreign capital to enter China and activate the Chinese market.Only when the market is active and some industrial and commercial taxes are raised, can the government's fiscal revenue increase.

Mainly to put some pressure on the UK.

At present, there are only two countries that have signed the "Treaty of Commerce and Industry" with China, and the Chinese government has given preferential treatment.One is the "Sino-German Commercial Treaty" signed with Germany last year, and the other is the "Sino-British Commercial Treaty" signed with the United Kingdom not long ago.

Although the German industry is currently recovering, it is still too early to export materials to China.Japan, which originally occupied a large share in China, basically withdrew from the Chinese market because of the Sino-Japanese War.

For the UK, now is the best opportunity to seize the Chinese market.Although China is still poor, it has a large population and a stable political situation in recent years.

Such markets are a favorite of the British.

"Yes."

"There is also a 'trade treaty' with the United States that needs to be completed as soon as possible."

441

"Prime Minister, news from the United States."

Negotiations with the United Kingdom were not going well, which caused Duan Xun quite a headache.

Damn British.

Still aloof, looking down on China, the former defeat.

But this time Duan Xun was going to forcefully push it down.The matter of the concession really cannot be delayed.It is already 1924, what will be the face of Duan Xun if it drags on.

Where is the majesty of the government.

In order to attack Japan and the development of national industry, Duan Xun launched a mighty "anti-imperialist" wave.Of course, it is also to allow the People's Party in its own hands to gain more ruling foundations and more public opinion foundations.

And what is the best way to gain a public opinion base?

It is to promote nationalism and patriotism.For China, which was previously semi-feudal and semi-colonial, there is nothing more supportive than patriotism and nationalism.

That's why Duan Xun vigorously promoted "anti-imperialism", and directly attributed the backwardness of modern China to two aspects.One is the feudal backward forces, and the other is the oppression of imperialism.

So two were born.

One is to develop science, develop industry, and establish a republic.One is to oppose imperialism and unequal treaties, that is, a vigorous wave of "anti-imperialism".

The benefits are obvious.

Among the students, the influence of the People's Party has expanded rapidly, and a large number of student party members have rapidly expanded.It has become the undisputed largest party in China.
