Beiyang reactionaries

These issues are still being discussed now, and even European and American countries have a lot of dissatisfaction with Japan's control of certain areas in Shandong. They can use their power to slowly put pressure on Japan.Then take those powers back.

But according to Duan Xun's thinking, that is not to admit Japan's control over the Jiaoji Railway and Shandong mines, and to allow Japanese police agencies to be stationed there.How can this be.

"President Yan, you can listen to me."

Yang Yongtai did not blame Yan Huiqing for interrupting him, but said in a very calm voice: "Prime Minister, Premier Dai, President Yan, in fact, only the Jiaoji Railway and several important mines in Shandong are left. I think the Prime Minister's The idea is good. We have made a cash repurchase plan. This will not only appease domestic public opinion, but also appease Japan. After all, there is still a lot of cooperation between us and Japan, regardless of funding, Technically, we still need to rely on Japan. In this case, we still need to compromise with each other and end the confrontation in Shandong as soon as possible. The problems of the Jiaoji Railway and the Shandong mine seem to be difficult to solve, but they are not. There is no wiggle room."

"Say."

"Our government has no money, and our government has to consider Japan's position. It is not good to really pay for the Jiaoji Railway. But it does not mean that other domestic businessmen have no money. As long as domestic public opinion knows, the Jiaoji Railway and the Shandong mine We can repurchase with money, so there must be merchants willing to pay. We can even quietly cooperate with some merchants, we help them pay, and at least take back the Jiaoji Railway. As long as the Jiaoji Railway is in our hands, Then one arm of Japan in Shandong can be completely cut off. Most of Japan’s so-called police agencies are located on both sides of the Jiaoji Railway. Then how to deal with it in the future will be much easier. At that time, our government can completely stay out of the matter and tell the Japanese that this is a civil behavior in China and has nothing to do with us. In this way, Japan cannot blame our government.”

Duan Xun was very happy when he heard Yang Yongtai's words.

Yang Yongtai is not bad.

He completely guessed what Duan Xun was thinking.First let the Japanese army go, and then take back administrative power.And what Yang Yongtai said is even better, the government will not take action, but take back the Jiaoji Railway through the hands of private businessmen.

In this way, Japan cannot blame Duan Xun.

After all, it was not the work of Duan Xun's government.

"There is indeed room for maneuver in this."

Dai Kan nodded.

But Dai Kan still hesitated: "But will Japan agree? Can the Japanese army withdraw?"

Shandong.

This is very difficult for Japan to get in its hands. With so many people in China opposing it, it has always been an occupied place.How could they give up these powers so easily.

"It's still possible."

Yan Huiqing spoke.

Yan Huiqing is a diplomatic talent. He studies these things every day and has a deep view on the world situation.So he immediately said: "Japan's influence in China has been too inflated in recent years. Moreover, the relationship between various forces in China and Japan is too good. This has already aroused the dissatisfaction of countries such as Britain, the United States and France. They do not want Japan to dominate our China." So as long as we negotiate the Shandong issue with Japan, countries such as Britain, the United States and France will definitely support us and put pressure on Japan. The situation is completely different now from the time of the Paris Peace Conference. At that time, Britain, the United States and France still needed Japan’s support and needed to Blocking the Soviet Union, so they need to win over Japan. Therefore, they can completely disregard China's attitude and transfer the rights and interests of Shandong to Japan. But in the current situation, the containment of the Soviet Union has failed. The British-Japanese alliance has almost collapsed, and Japan and the United States are in the Far East The competition is even more fierce. At present, Japan regards the United States as its biggest opponent, and the United States is also most worried about Japan's growing strength in the Far East, so there are currently many conflicts between Japan and the United States. So now they are opposing Many of Japan’s actions will definitely not allow Japan to continue to expand its power in China. Under such pressure, there is basically no problem for the Japanese army to withdraw from Shandong.”

Duan Xun nodded above.

Duan Xun was more sure of their abilities after seeing how many people spoke.Dai Kan has strong administrative skills and is a management talent.As the second-in-command under Duan Xun these years, he has done things in an orderly manner and will never be chaotic.And Yang Yongtai is a resourceful staff-type talent, dare not say scheming, at least he is very smart.In terms of real administrative ability, Dai Kan is definitely better than Yang Yongtai.But Yang Yongtai, as a resourceful person, can definitely help Dai Kan.

Needless to say, Yan Huiqing.

This person has a high degree of education, strong professional ability, broad vision, and excellent judgment of the international situation.However, because I have never been a person in charge at the front line and have no practical experience, I lack administrative ability.

It seems that Yan Huiqing needs to exercise and be responsible for some specific tasks.

If one were to choose the leader among the three of them, Duan Xun would definitely choose Yan Huiqing.Because Yan Huiqing has the opportunity to go to the next level.

"President Yan, do you think it's possible now?"

"You can give it a try."

"Okay, Mr. Yan. Then you will be responsible for this matter. Your foreign ministry has the most legal talents. Let's discuss it now and see how to get the most power in the negotiation. The Japanese will definitely not be obedient. Spit out their power, so be prepared to negotiate for a long time."

"Yes."

"Go ahead. After making the negotiation plan, you can come to me directly if you need any help. In order for the negotiation to go smoothly, I will give you unlimited support. I only want Shandong."

"Yes."

After Yan Huiqing was sent away, Duan Xun, Dai Kan, and Yang Yongtai were left in the room.With Duan Xun coming to Beijing, the issues discussed by the cabinet became more and more important, and the content of the discussions was all substantive work. On the contrary, Wang Chonghui, the prime minister, was getting more and more out of hand.

When he was prime minister a year ago, it was just a temporary transition, and he wasn't really meant to be prime minister.Moreover, the Beijing government at that time was in great financial difficulties.The Beijing government at that time, the cabinet at that time was basically a decoration, basically unable to deal with anything.Even the few chief ministers appointed by the cabinet did not take office, and half of the chief minister positions in the cabinet were even vacant.

Because the Beijing government at that time was controlling Beijing.Even Beijing may not necessarily control it, because there is also Cao Kun.So after Wang Chonghui became prime minister, he didn't deal with any specific matters.His tenure as prime minister was more of a display, and he had not dealt with a real national event.At that time there were not many problems.

But not now.

Since Duan Xun entered Beijing, he has dealt with the most specific matters, which are national affairs.Starting from financial rectification, such as railway construction, road construction, army construction, diplomatic choices, education direction, including this disaster relief and so on.Wang Chonghui is an outstanding legal talent with a very high degree of education.However, Wang Chonghui has been in charge of legal issues since returning home after graduation.When have you dealt with so many practical issues.

Therefore, he does not know how to deal with many problems.

As the situation progressed, everyone in the cabinet could see it.Wang Chonghui doesn't understand many problems in China at present, and he is not very clear about many issues in the cabinet, and he can't come up with any constructive solutions.Therefore, to deal with specific issues slowly, Wang Chonghui has been unable to intervene. As a result, the power of the cabinet is slowly transferred to Duan Xun's hands.

It's not just that he doesn't know how to deal with specific issues, even if it's political skills, Wang Chonghui is not Duan Xun's opponent.Duan Xun has a lot of ways to deliberately give Wang Chonghui problems.In terms of winning people's hearts, scholars like Wang Chonghui are no match for Duan Xun.

Even more so now.

In the Disaster Relief Committee, Duan Xun almost covered the sky with one hand, completely excluding Wang Chonghui.Duan Xun, Dai Kan, and Yang Yongtai have become the power core of the Disaster Relief Committee.

Discussion of important issues is completely three people discussing implementation.

"I want to create a general customs office."

"Prime Minister, in the current situation, if we set up a General Administration of Customs, it will easily irritate the big powers."

Yang Yongtai frowned.

Yang Yongtai, as a technocrat, as a resourceful person, is a very good supporting talent.But one of the biggest shortcomings of such a person is that they look forward and backward, lack decisiveness, and have a lot of worries.

General Administration of Customs?

The current Chinese customs are controlled by foreign powers.The officials at the top and bottom of the Chinese customs are basically British, and it is the Chinese who do things.Moreover, the customs are firmly controlled by the great powers, because the customs are China's largest revenue agency.

Controlling customs is equivalent to controlling half of China's economy.

With customs, the big powers are not afraid that the Beijing government will not pay back the money.Because even if the Beijing government doesn't want to pay back the money, they won't be able to pay it back if there is no money for a while, but they are not afraid of anything if there is customs.

Under such circumstances, the big powers have a great control over China's customs, and they will never return the power of the customs to China.

What if China establishes the General Administration of Customs?

Then the problem is too big.

Very likely to irritate the powers that control customs.The current situation in China is really inappropriate to offend those great powers.Duan Xun said with a smile: "I'm not trying to take back the customs from the big powers. Why are they nervous? If they are worried, then we can change the name too, instead of calling it the General Administration of Customs. It's called the Customs Commission, and the announcement is mainly for management. off the remainder of the income."

"What about the purpose?"

Dai Kan asked Duan Xun.

Dai Kan and Duan Xun have worked together for many years and are very familiar with Duan Xun.I know that Duan Xun is a person who takes one step and sees three steps, and every movement is not done casually.

Especially in this sensitive area.

It is impossible to create such a department without a reason.
