Beiyang reactionaries

"General, I have thought about this too."

"Is there any way?"

"Han Yeping Company."

"What do you mean?"

"General, if we can take back the management rights of Han Yeping Company, I think the general's pro-Japanese hat will be taken off more than half."

"How to operate."

Duan Xun asked Yang Yongtai as he entered the room.Hanyeping Company is the largest steel factory in China, even Asia when it was built.His position in China is very important, but the current management right is controlled by Japanese businessmen, which has become a pity for many Chinese.

Being able to get back the management rights of Han Yeping Company is definitely a big event that caused a sensation in China.

But it's not that easy.

Japanese businessmen control Han Yeping Company because Han Yeping Company owes Japanese businessmen a huge amount of debt.Moreover, Japanese businessmen want to use Hanyeping Company to develop their own domestic steel companies, mainly using Hanyeping Company to plunder iron ore and coal mines at low prices.

Where is it so easy to get it back.

"General, the anti-Japanese sentiment in the country is currently on the rise, and Japanese businessmen have suffered a lot in China. The Japanese government is also actively trying to find a way to ease the anti-Japanese sentiment in our country. It's just that they haven't found any good way. Han Yeping In the late Qing Dynasty and the first and third years of the Republic of China, the company was attacked by public opinion because of its relationship with Japan. If Japan gives up the management rights of Han Yeping Company, it will be of great benefit to the current public opinion in Japan. "

"That alone is useless."

Japan is indeed very anxious at the moment.

Because Japan's power in China rose sharply during the First World War, Japanese products were also spread all over China.Taking advantage of the opportunity that European and American countries did not have the energy to manage China, Japanese businessmen made a fortune in China, and the influence of the Japanese government in China increased greatly.

But now the anti-Japanese wave in China has seriously affected the interests of Japanese businessmen, and also affected the arrangements of the Japanese government in China.European and American countries are fueling the flames, which makes Japan very angry.

But be anxious, be anxious, Japan is not a person who takes public opinion seriously.In order to ease public opinion, it is possible for Japan to make some concessions.But let Japan give up Hanyeping Company?What a joke.How much benefit Han Yeping Company has brought to Japan, how could Japan let him out because of some public opinion.That's Japan, that's thick-skinned Japan.

"So General, we can only ask for the right to operate, but some interests of Japanese businessmen cannot be taken away."

"Isn't that just fooling people?"

Duan Xun instantly understood what Yang Yongtai meant.

Han Yeping Company, you Japanese can do whatever you like, as long as you return the management rights of Han Yeping Company to Duan Xun in name.In this way, Duan Xun can gain a good reputation, and Japan can not only benefit, but also divert public opinion.

But this is not what Duan Xun wants.

Therefore, Duan Xun frowned and said: "If I really negotiate with Japan and get back the management rights of Han Yeping Company, then I must truly control the management rights in my hands. Japanese businessmen must not be allowed to intervene."

"It's not impossible."

Yang Yongtai thought for a while, and said with a smile: "General, this is also possible, but the price will be very high. As long as we bear the money that Hanyeping Company owes the Japanese company, as well as interest, and admit that it is sold to Japan at a low price The share of iron ore and coal mines, then Japan is probably able to consider it. Especially with the end of the European war, steel prices plummeted, and Hanyeping Company began to lose money again."

"Is it possible?"

"Yes."

"That's fine."

"General, but do you really want to pay this debt? Hanyeping Company has owed Japanese businessmen more than 3000 million in debt over the years, plus interest, it is not worth the money if Hanyeping Company is sold. And every year Selling it to Japanese iron ore and coal mines at a low price will cost the general a lot of money.”

Yang Yongtai still asked Duan Xun to be cautious.

More than 3000 million in debt, plus interest, plus some other money, and the share of low-priced iron ore and coal mines every year, it is estimated that Duan Xun will need to bear nearly 5000 million in a short time.So much money can completely rebuild a steel plant.Moreover, building another steel factory will be bigger and better than Hanyang Iron Factory.

Han Yeping Company is heavily in debt now, and it is impossible to sell it for so much money.

Duan Xun shook his head.

He said simply: "This is Hanyeping Company, the largest steel plant in China, the earliest steel plant, which has great political significance for our country. Moreover, the problem of Hanyeping Company is poor management, not Hanyeping Company Insufficient strength. This kind of company cannot be described as whether it makes money or not. If it can be recovered, it is not a matter of money or not. We have to think about how much impact it will bring. But can all Japanese businessmen really withdraw? ?”

"General, if you want Japanese businessmen to withdraw completely, the general will probably make some concessions."

"concession?"

Duan Xun thought for a while and said, "Let me think about it."

"Everyone, we are very disappointed with the outcome of the war. Zhi Lao (Duan Qirui) chose to go to the field, which is a great loss for us."

Duan Xun had just assumed the post of border defense supervisor. After meeting with representatives of various warlords, he finally met with politicians from the Anhui faction.Duan Qirui's politicians went south in large numbers and came to Duan Xun's place.

But looking at the people below, Duan Xun can only say that Duan Qirui was criticized for being pro-Japanese and called a "traitor".Because look at these loyal subordinates of Duan Qirui who came today.

More than half of them are famous traitors in history.

Not an ordinary small traitor, but a big traitor who was able to rank among the best during the Anti-Japanese War.

Sitting in the first position on Duan Xun's left is Wang Yitang, the main leader of Duan Qirui's "Anfu Department".Wang Yitang, 42 years old this year, is a well-known traitor in history and one of the leaders of the puppet government in North China.

This one is great.

He was the last Jinshi in the imperial examination in the late Qing Dynasty and was awarded the head of the Ministry of War.However, he was recommended by the Minister of Military Aircraft and now President Xu Shichang to study in Japan to study military affairs.After studying abroad and returning to China, he followed Xu Shichang in the Northeast all the time. In the late Qing Dynasty, he was once mixed into the position of the Beiyang Military Association.After the establishment of the Republic of China, he was not satisfied with his development in the army, but began to show his face in the political circle.

In the second year of the Republic of China, Wang Yitang was the general of the Beiyang Army.Later, he developed in the political arena, serving as a director of Liang Qichao's Progressive Party, a senator, and the secretary of the presidential palace. In the fourth year of the Republic of China (1915), he served as a patrol envoy in Jilin.In the sixth year of the Republic of China (1916), as Duan Qirui took control of Beijing, Wang Yitang's status became higher and higher. He served as the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the director and president of the Anfu Club's staff department, the speaker of the House of Representatives, and a special member of the Foreign Affairs Committee.Relying on the Anfu Department to call the wind and rain in the Congress and become a real power faction boss.

Sitting below Wang Yitang is Wang Yinchuan, Wang Yitang's right-hand man in the Anfu Department.Wang Yinchuan was not from the Beiyang Army, but from the Revolutionary Party, and was wanted by the court during the Revolution of [-].However, after the founding of the Republic of China, this man quickly approached the Beiyang Army, and Yuan Keding, the son of Yuan Shikai, was a friend of Jinlan.Later, he was the main cadre of Duan Qi Rui'an Fu Department.

Unlike the traitor Wang Yitang who was finally shot by the government of the Republic of China, Wang Yinchuan refused to take up the post of the puppet government and died of a hunger strike in Tianjin.

Zhu Chen and Liang Hongzhi, who were seated further down, were all big traitors who became famous later on, and both were high-ranking officials of the puppet government.

Sitting opposite Wang Yitang, Chen Jintao and Dong Kang were also the top officials of the puppet government during the Anti-Japanese War.After Li Sihao was captured by the Japanese army in Hong Kong, he reluctantly held some economic positions, but because he had no actual positions and had a good relationship with Chiang Kai-shek and Dai Li, he was not judged as a traitor, and even received preferential treatment in New China.Wang Zhilong, who was sitting below, was also a hard-core pro-Japanese fan, but he was wanted by the Beijing government and fled to Japan in history.Died in Yokohama during the Great Kanto Earthquake.

These people are all politicians directly related to Duan Qirui who were wanted by the Beijing government.

Very high education.

All of these people are international students, either studying in Japan, or studying in Europe and the United States, and even many of them have doctoral degrees, which are very rare in China.They study constitutional, political, and economic aspects.

Previously under Duan Qirui, most of these people were in charge of constitutional government and economy.

Look at these people, saying that Duan Qirui's kissing Japan did not wrong him at all.More than half of them are famous big traitors in history, they are all leaders of the puppet government in North China, and some are even big bosses of the puppet government in Shanghai.

But that's history.

Since it hasn't happened yet, it's not good for Duan Xun to have other opinions on them.Because these people are all famous traitors in history, but all of them have outstanding abilities.

Otherwise the Japanese would not use them.

"General Duan, as long as the general is still there, our Anhui faction has a chance to rise again."
