Beiyang reactionaries

All are cunning and cunning.

To be honest, little Pan Youji doesn't like Zhang Zuolin.This bandit-born warlord is too cunning.Compared with Duan Xun, Zhang Zuolin's ability to dominate the Northeast is inseparable from Japan's support.

Duan Xun is indeed at his current height because of Japan's support.But Duan Xun is Duan Qirui's favorite general after all, even without the support of Japan, he is still a big boss who dominates one side.

But Zhang Zuolin is different.

It is not the core force of the Beiyang Army at all, nor is it considered by the Zhiwan and Anhui departments to be the direct line of the Beiyang Army.It is impossible to rise rapidly without Japan's arms support and Japan's loans.

But what about the results?

When Duan Qirui was defeated in the Zhiwan War, Zhang Zuolin also stabbed him in the back.Japan does not want Duan Qirui to unify the country by force, so it quietly supports those who oppose Duan Qirui.But it doesn't mean that Japan is willing to see Duan Qirui lose in the Zhiwan War.Because Duan Qirui is a pro-Japanese faction after all, Japan prefers Duan Qirui to be in power compared to Cao Kun.

China remains divided.And the strongest is the forces close to Japan, which is in the best interests of Japan.Zhang Zuolin and Cao Kun cooperated to drive Duan Qirui out, which made Japan very angry.

But between countries, interests are the most important.

Now that Duan Xun is dominant, Japan does not want Duan Xun to be too strong.So even though I don't like Zhang Zuolin, I still have to stand up for him.So little Pan Youji still said: "No, no, no, once Fengtian goes to war, it will definitely affect the interests of the empire and the safety of the citizens of the empire. It is absolutely impossible for the empire to sit idly by. At that time, we can only send troops ourselves To protect the interests of the empire and the safety of the citizens of the empire. I still hope that General Duan can think about it. We have always been very friendly friends, and I don’t want to have disputes over such things.”

Duan Xun was furious.

Damn little Japan.

Japan must keep Zhang Zuolin.This group of damned little Japanese really think too well.It is not enough to have Duan Xun, they also need to support Zhang Zuolin, maybe even Lu Yongxiang's Japan will not let it go.

But Duan Xun was not angry.

Because Duan Xun knows that now is not the time to turn against Japan.Because Japan is still very strong now, Duan Xun has not even completely sorted out the Beijing government, and those direct troops have not been fully reorganized, and they are still unable to conflict with Japan.

So Duan Xun didn't speak, he lowered his head and quietly played with the teacup in his hand.

Little Pan Youji was not in a hurry either, and drank tea very calmly.Although little Pan Youji was very polite to Duan Xun, he looked down on the Chinese in his heart.Compared with Japan, this group of selfish people with no strategic vision in China are no opponents.

Compared with the Japanese army, the Chinese army is even more shit.

Humph.

Including Duan Xun, who is about to enter Beijing, little Pan Youji doesn't like him at all.A small local warlord, with the support of the Great Japanese Empire, wants to rule Beijing, how dare he not listen to Japan?

If you are really disobedient, beat Duan Xun down.

cut.

So little Pan Youji wasn't worried at all.

He was not worried that Duan Xun would refuse at all, because little Pan Youji believed that Duan Xun, a warlord, should understand the power of Japan.

"Hey——Minister Pan, you've already said that, and I can't say anything else. You don't want Fengtian to fight, and it's not impossible. But what do you think about Zhang Zuolin's declaration of independence?"

Duan Xun could only take a step back.

Although this is a very good opportunity, Duan Xun still chooses to take a step back.Because Duan Xun has too many problems to solve with Japan, especially the Shandong problem must be solved.If there is a stalemate with Japan now, it will not be good for solving the Shandong issue.

Duan Qirui was accused by thousands of people because of the Shandong issue.Duan Xun, as a general of the Anhui Department, was born as a general of Duan Qirui. Even in order to deal with public opinion, he must resolve the Shandong issue as soon as possible.

As for fighting?

Duan Xun didn't even think about it.

With Duan Xun's current strength, it is already barely enough to solve the domestic warlord power, so how can he have the ability to fight against Japan.The best way is still to take over Beijing and fight Japan with the power of the whole country.

"General Zhang (Zhang Zuolin) can cancel independence at any time."

"That won't work."

Duan Xun shook his head.

Where is such a cheap thing.Duan Xun immediately said: "It's too cheap for Zhang Zuolin to give me a step just to cancel independence, and I can't explain it to others. Zhang Zuolin's tour envoy to the Northeast must be dismissed."

"According to General Duan, what should we do?"

"Remove Zhang Zuolin from the position of Northeast Tour Envoy, and appoint Zhang Zuolin as Fengtian Governor. If Zhang Zuolin accepts this condition, then I can persuade the Beijing government to end the war with Zhang Zuolin."

Little Pan Youji didn't answer immediately.

Instead, think about the current situation.The current Zhang Zuolin only controls Fengtian and half of Jilin, and he may not be able to keep Fengtian.Zhang Zuolin should be able to accept Fengtian's territory.

Moreover, among the three northeastern provinces, Fengtian has the best economy and the most people, and it is also the place where Japan's interests are concentrated the most.As long as Zhang Zuolin controls Fengtian, he will still be the strongest in the Northeast.

So little Pan Youji said slowly: "General Duan, I will pass on your opinion to General Zhang."

"Minister Pan, if Zhang Zuolin does not accept my proposal, then I can only use war to solve the problem. I hope that Minister Pan will not blame me."

"How could that be?"

Little Pan Youji shook his head.

After talking about Zhang Zuolin's question, little Pan Youji and Duan Xun talked off topic, and suddenly said: "General Duan, I don't know what position the Beijing government will appoint General Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang."

302 Japanese Attitude 2

"General Lu Yongxiang?"

"Yes. I'm just curious. I don't know if General Lu Yongxiang will also come to Beijing to take up a position."

curious?

Are you a Japanese envoy curious about this?Even if Duan Xun was killed, he would not believe it.Duan Xun has become more and more afraid of Japan. Before he took over Beijing, Japan has already begun to guard against him.In other words, what Japan is guarding against is not itself, but all forces that have the strength to unify China, and Japan will guard against it.Even if that person was once a "friend" of Japan, or a collaborator of the Japanese, Japan will still be on guard.

Damn.

Japan just doesn't want a unified government in China.

With the decline of the direct lineage, it can be said that most of the forces in China are inextricably linked with Japan.Not to mention Duan Xun and Lu Yongxiang, the Anhui generals, Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast, Li Houji in Fujian, and the Guangdong Army in Guangdong. These forces are all related to Japan.It can even be said that these are relatively "pro-Japanese" forces.The rise of many people has a deep relationship with Japan.But Japan is still worried, and still has to do something.

Now the only two local forces that can stand against Duan Xun are Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast and Lu Yongxiang in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.Japan is trying to support the two of them and fight against themselves.

Of course, although Japan does not want China to be unified, it has never thought about tearing up its face with Duan Xun.

Because that's not worth it.

After all, Duan Xun has always been very happy to cooperate with Japan.Moreover, Duan Xun will soon control the Beijing government, and it is not in Japan's interest to turn against Duan Xun at this time.Therefore, Japan wants to benefit from Duan Xun, but also does not want Duan Xun to be too strong.These bastards.

But Duan Xun didn't show any displeasure.

Over the years, this ability to hide emotions and anger has long been practiced.

So he smiled slightly and said, "I have to discuss this point with General Lu Yongxiang's representative, as well as with President Xu Shichang and Prime Minister Wang Chonghui. If General Lu Yongxiang is willing to go north to Beijing, I think it should at least be the position of vice president. If General Lu Yongxiang is unwilling to enter Beijing, and according to the current situation, General Lu Yongxiang should be appointed as the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River."
