"General Duan, can we really do what you said and completely get rid of foreign control? I have heard this sentence many times, but I want to know how we can get rid of these powerful countries."

Ever since Wang Chengbin's Zhili No. [-] Mixed Brigade passed Changsha, then Yuezhou, and entered Wuhan, Duan Xun is currently also highly nervous.Because Duan Xun understands a little bit.

This time the Zhili No. [-] Mixed Brigade retreated to the north, not only for Cao Kun to strengthen his power in the north, but also for the purpose of testing.

If Duan Qirui is willing to give in this matter and not pursue Wu Peifu, then Cao Kun and the others will not be aggressive.After all, everyone said that they all come from the same source, and Duan Qirui's strength in Anhui is not a joke.The Anhui Clan currently controls Gyeonggi, Shandong, Zhejiang, Hunan, Shaanxi, and the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, plus Chahar and Rehe are all Anhui Clan territories.Even if Duan Xun is excluded, the army controlled by Duan Qirui is more than 30.At present, Cao Kun and the others are not absolutely sure that they can defeat Duan Qirui when the Zhili and Fengli are combined.

Cao Kun and the others certainly don't want to fight if possible.

But what kind of temper is Duan Qirui? It's a fantasy to make Duan Qirui give in.Duan Qirui is a typical person who if you are hard, I will be harder, and if you are soft, I will give in.Therefore, after Duan Qirui learned that Wang Chengbin had withdrawn with the Zhili First Mixed Brigade, he immediately forced Xu Shichang to dismiss Wu Peifu as the commander of the Third Division.

The Beijing government is currently controlled by Duan Qirui.

Whether it's Xu Shichang, Qian Nengxun, or Jin Yunpeng, although they all want to develop their own power, no one can resist Duan Qirui's intentions.Because the real power is still in the hands of Duan Qirui.

Duan Qirui dismissed Wu Peifu as the commander of the Third Division, and there was no room for change in the matter.

Wu Peifu was removed from the position of commander of the third division, but it was of little use.Because Cao Kun still trusted Wu Peifu, Wu Peifu was still able to command the troops.Therefore, Duan Qirui strictly ordered the troops not to retreat, but Wu Peifu ignored Duan Qirui's order at all, and let Yan Xiangwen's Zhili Third Mixed Brigade also set off to withdraw northward, and the troops passed through Changsha again.Cao Kun and Wu Peifu are now actively preparing for the battle, why would they take Duan Qirui seriously, and the troops still have to retreat.

The situation is clear.

When Wu Peifu's nearly [-] elite troops have all retreated, Cao Kun's strength in Zhili and Henan will increase greatly.Then the situation in the north will continue to be tense, and the confrontation between the Zhi and Anhui will become more serious.It's easy to miss the gun by then.

Duan Xun never thought that the confrontation between the Zhiwan factions would be so serious.

Historically, the Zhiwan War was fought in July 1920, and it should be more than a year away.But judging by the current situation, the two factions are expected to fight this year.Therefore, Duan Xun must also be prepared.

So during this period of time, Duan Xun mainly asked Yang Yongtai to be responsible for planning the affairs of Guangdong.

Duan Xun adopted Yang Yongtai's suggestion.

beat.

Since we are going to fight, let's have a lively fight, and the fight will be chaotic.The more chaotic the fight, the more opportunities Duan Xun has to fish in troubled waters.Although the provinces under Duan Xun's rule are remote, including Shaanxi.

But remoteness has its benefits.

That is, there are no enemies around Duan Xun, so Duan Xun can concentrate his strength to attack.Places like Henan and Hubei are surrounded by other forces, and there are too many places to guard against, so it is impossible to concentrate their forces.

So during this period of time, Duan Xun sent people to deliberately disturb the water in Guangdong.

At this time Hu Jingyi found Duan Xun again.Duan Xun looked at Hu Jingyi and said, "Mr. Hu, I also said last time that unity is the only way. As long as our country is united, we don't need to be afraid of any foreign power."

"General Duan, you should know what I'm talking about?"

"kindness."

Duan Xun nodded.

People like Hu Jingyi are no longer hot-blooded young people.Although I was very excited after listening to Duan Xun talking about it for a while.But after going back and thinking about it, Hu Jingyi still calmed down.

Hu Jingyi wanted to know what Duan Xun could do.Especially now that China is so far behind those powerful countries.Hu Jingyi doesn't know too many other things, but just seeing the information about the European War is enough to make Hu Jingyi tremble with fear.Because Hu Jingyi is a soldier, all he read is military intelligence.

Look at the military strength of these European and American powers.

Hu Jingyi couldn't see any hope that China could get rid of them anyway.That's why Hu Jingyi asked Duan Xun, hoping that Duan Xun could give a clear answer.Why can China get rid of these powerful European and American countries.

What Hu Jingyi wanted to listen to was not that kind of slogan.

Duan Xun sighed, "Then I'll talk about it."

Duan Xun likes Hu Jingyi, who is not yet 27 years old, and is already out of the category of general army generals.He has considered not only the issue of war, but also many other issues.Moreover, Hu Jingyi has a large number of famous generals under his command, all of which Duan Xun likes very much.

Therefore, Duan Xun is also the most attentive to Hu Jingyi.

"We are one-on-one, and we are definitely not the opponents of these powerful countries in Europe, America and Japan. Confronting any of them is not good for us. It is a pity that the world's powerful countries are not monolithic. On the contrary, they each have their own interests, and no one wants the other to control China. .So they fight with each other, they stumble with each other, and as long as we grasp the contradictions between them accurately, we can find a way."

"Mr. Hu, in fact, our country was indeed in a very dangerous situation at the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, when faced with the sudden appearance of a Western power, our country did not know how to deal with it. We were completely at a loss. If they insisted on destroying our country at that time, we really did not How much strength can resist, our country becomes their colony, that is entirely possible."

"However, after that dangerous incident, it is completely different now. Although the European powers such as Britain, France, Germany and Italy are still very strong, but in this European war, these countries have suffered heavy losses. Not only the heavy casualties on the battlefield , the economy has been hit hard, and it will not be able to recover in a year or two. Therefore, their influence on the Far East and China has declined rapidly. The two newly emerging countries in the Far East are Japan and the Republic of America As the saying goes, one mountain cannot contain two tigers. As newly rising powers, the United States and Japan will compete more and more fiercely in the Pacific Ocean. As for Britain and France, although their strength has been greatly reduced because of the European war, they control Most of the colonies in the world are still in control of the world order. How can they allow the United States and Japan to control the Far East. At that time, in the Far East, these countries will have some struggles."

"However, this is not the end. The British and French countries have suffered heavy losses in the European war. How can they be reconciled, and they will definitely suppress Germany severely. However, the attitudes of Britain and France will also be different. As a country in the European continent, France must hope that it is The hegemony of the European continent, so he must want to slap Germany to death. As a European island country, the United Kingdom certainly does not want to see France dominate the European continent. At that time, it may secretly support Germany and prevent Germany from completely lying Next. But no matter what, Germany will definitely be severely suppressed this time.”

"Think about it, that's Germany, a powerful country. After being bullied this time, how can you swallow your anger. In ancient times, Goujian tried his best and took revenge. Germany will do the same. How can a powerful country like Germany be willing to fail. Therefore, ten In 20 or [-] years, there will inevitably be a new war in Europe."

"Besides them, there is another country, the newly established Soviet Union. By the way, do you know who is Marx and what is a Bolshevik?"

Duan Xun suddenly stopped and asked Hu Jingyi.

Hu Jingyi shook his head.

Although Hu Jingyi studied in Japan, Marx's theory did not have much influence in the Far East.After the October Revolution in the Soviet Union, not many people in China actually knew about this theory, so there was no dissemination of it.Although some people have introduced it in the newspaper, it is only a few words.

Hu Jingyi really didn't know.

"It's good to have time to look at it. There are many ideas that are worth learning. I will say the simplest one. This theory severely criticizes the system of the current capitalist countries in the world, that is, the world's major powers, and puts forward A new system, almost subversive. The Soviet Union overthrew the Russian Tsar based on this theory and established the Soviet Union. For European powers, the Soviet Union is a scourge, and their theory is heresy. Therefore, as long as Paris and After the meeting is over, these countries will definitely concentrate their forces against the Soviet Union."

"This is the current major world power. They have their own contradictions, and the contradictions are not small. Their contradictions are even so large that they need to be resolved by war. The more contradictions they have, the more conflicts they have. The better. And what we have to do is to fight against each other. Step by step. I will talk about my plan."

"It is impossible for these powerful countries to cancel the concession, give up the compensation, and cancel their privileges. Therefore, I think that the first step is to introduce other forces to balance the current powerful Britain and China in China. Japan. I plan to contact the United States and the Soviet Union, and after a few years, I will also contact the defeated Germany, and introduce these powerful countries to limit the power of Britain and Japan, divide them, and prevent them from acting in unison."

"Mr. Hu, many problems now are not our domestic problems. Because many powerful factions in our country are backed by Western powers. Therefore, when dealing with domestic affairs, we must also consider changes in the international situation. As long as we can accurately analyze Western powers There is still a great opportunity to overcome the contradictions between the great powers and then increase our strength."

Duan Xun's tirade made Hu Jingyi completely unexpected.

Hu Jingyi thought that Duan Xun would analyze domestic issues, but he didn't expect Duan Xun to say nothing about domestic affairs, all he said was about the affairs of world powers.It's all about the state of the world.

But Hu Jingyi still listened.

It really is.

China's strength is indeed very poor, far inferior to those European, American and Japanese powers.Therefore, as long as China talks about foreigners, it is always very afraid.But with Duan Xun's analysis, there are also contradictions among foreigners.

You can take advantage of the contradictions between them.

Just as they can use China's major warlords to stir up troubles in China, China can also have its own way among them.

"Of course, these are all external things. If a country really wants to develop, it still needs to cultivate its internal strength. Mr. Hu, this is something I wrote. You can go and have a look. Some of the answers you want are in it, I believe. .”

Duan Xun stood up and took out a book from his drawer, and handed it to Hu Jingyi.

This is a book compiled by Yang Wei after reorganizing the People's Party Program written by Duan Xun, as well as the nation-building strategy and industrial development plan.It is suitable for dissemination within the People's Party, and it is also suitable for people to watch.

Duan Xun handed him over to Hu Jingyi.
