Beiyang reactionaries

When Duan Xun is in position, his greatest wish must be to get rid of everyone's manipulation.

In Yan Huiqing's view, getting rid of the control of the United Kingdom is far easier than getting rid of the control of Japan.Japan is on the side of the couch, they have been eyeing China for so many years, how can Duan Xun get rid of it so easily.

"President Yan, do you know how the most brilliant generals fight?"

"Prime Minister, I'm all ears."

Yan Huiqing answered very seriously.

Since Duan Xun made his fortune in the west of Henan, the army has never really lost any major defeats over the years.Even if Duan Xun didn't personally command the battle, Yan Huiqing had heard of it.When Duan Xun built his own army, the strategy and tactics of the army, the training of army officers, and the establishment of army discipline were all created by Duan Xun.At present, the senior generals in Duan Xun's army are basically taught by Duan Xun himself.

Therefore, many middle and senior generals in Duan Xun's army called Duan Xun their teacher.

Yan Huiqing also wanted to hear what Duan Xun had to say.Why after so many years, Duan Xun was able to rise from the southwest, sweep all the warlords in the country, and finally sit in his current position.

"Concentrate superior forces and defeat them one by one. This is the most basic principle of fighting."

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"Whether it is war or politics, there is one principle that must never be violated. That is, not too many enemies can be established at the same time, and the number of enemies should be reduced. The most important thing is to It is to find our target, instead of being aimless. We must concentrate our superior forces, increase our friends, and then aim at a target and fight fiercely. When fighting, we must not widen the front line. Don't make too many enemies."

Yan Huiqing nodded slowly.

Yan Huiqing is a very skilled diplomat, and he has long known how to maneuver in diplomatic situations.So he understood what Duan Xun meant.

Duan Xun's goal at this stage is the United Kingdom.

Duan Xun wants to unite with Japan and concentrate superior forces to attack Britain.Originally, Britain was the strongest in China, including the strongest in the Yangtze River Basin.However, due to World War I, Britain shrank its troops in the Far East, and its influence plummeted.In addition, the direct line of Feng Guozhang supported by the United Kingdom has completely disintegrated, and the United Kingdom has lost a lot of its original power in China.But Japan's investment in Duan Xun has achieved the greatest return.In the strength of the Yangtze River Basin, Japan has completely matched the United Kingdom, and even began to surpass the United Kingdom.

But Duan Xun didn't seem satisfied.

It is to use the power of Japan to continue to suppress Britain.According to Duan Xun's current situation, if the suppression of Britain continues, Britain's power in China will shrink more and more, and it may even withdraw from China.

Once Duan Xun completely knocks down the British forces in China, Duan Xun will definitely turn his guns to fight Japan.But Yan Huiqing was very worried, so he still said: "Prime Minister, although he said so. But if we continue with the current situation, our country's politics, economy, and even our industry and technology will be controlled by Japan in a few years. Or rely heavily on Japan. And because of the current attitude of the Prime Minister, there will be a large number of pro-Japanese factions in politics, and many business forces that rely on Japanese capital in the economy, and even China’s industrial development will rely on Japan. Prime Minister, when the time comes It’s not like we can do whatever we want.”

Hearing Yan Huiqing's words, Duan Xun was not angry, but very relieved.

Yan Huiqing is good.

Yan Huiqing has an international vision and is very good at diplomacy.And it's not like some other talents in the diplomatic field, because many people have returned from studying in Europe and the United States, and they always feel that they are superior to others.I feel that I have seen the world and know more than others, and I am not pragmatic or down-to-earth at all.It can only develop in the field of diplomacy forever.

But Yan Huiqing is completely different.There is no such superior attitude, but everything is very pragmatic.Yan Huiqing understands the domestic situation and also understands the international environment.

44 years old, the age is also the best time.

Duan Xun likes it very much.

Yes.

If Duan Xun does not know history, then relying on Japan in this way, many of China's lifelines will be controlled by Japan.Why does Japan continue to support Duan Xun in this way? It is not at all afraid that Duan Xun will turn his face in the future.

It is because they are very confident.

It is believed that it is difficult for China to get rid of Japan's control, so it will continue to support Duan Xun.Because if the current situation continues, there will be a large number of pro-Japanese factions in all aspects of China's politics and economy.

This is impossible.

"I have also considered your concerns, but I have the determination of a strong man to cut his wrists. Sometimes if you want to get something, you have to pay the same thing. For what I want, I often do not hesitate to hurt both sides. "

Although they were talking with a smile, both Yan Huiqing and Kang Xinru immediately became very serious.

Because it sounds very tragic.

But Duan Xun also expressed his attitude.When he turns against Japan in the future, Duan Xun is prepared for a huge impact on China's politics and economy.

Yan Huiqing said very seriously: "Prime Minister, I understand. I will definitely solve the customs issue within one month."

"it is good."

332 Customs 2

"Ambassador Pan, happy cooperation."

On October 1921, 10, after continuous pressure from Japan and China, Britain, France, the United States, Japan, Italy and six countries in China held several rounds of talks and finally reached an agreement.But this process is not easy at all.

I don't know how many consultations and confrontations took place.

Britain has been gritting its teeth and insisting that it does not want to give up the power of Chinese customs.In order to get back the rights and interests of customs, in the end Sichuan Governor Li Zhanyang went north to Beijing, and the news that Duan Xun was going to establish the General Administration of Customs of China was abuzz.In particular, Li Zhanyang's resignation as governor of Sichuan has increased the "authenticity" of this news.

put a lot of pressure on the UK.

The representatives of the United States and France did not stand up in the end.Because the wind is getting tighter and tighter, they really can't stand it.Especially the United States is very worried.In fact, negotiations between China and the United States have continued.

However, China is so tough on the issue of customs and firmly disagrees with Britain continuing to manage customs.

America is really worried.

In the past two years, the United States and Japan have competed in the Far East, and they both regard each other as their greatest enemy.If the U.S. fell out with Japan and China because of the customs issue, the U.S. would definitely suffer in the Far East.

China?

In the eyes of the great powers, China is really not a powerful country.It is a country they knead at will.Otherwise, they would not have ignored China's opinions at will during the Paris peace conference, and trampled on China's public opinion at will.Because in their minds, China has no right to be equal to them.

China is weak, and they almost take it as a joke when it comes to the Chinese military, especially China's domestic wars.Are warlord wars in China also wars?

But although China is underestimated, China is a big country after all.

In the world resource market, China is still a very important country.And since the situation in the Far East is mentioned, it is absolutely impossible for China to throw it away at will.Therefore, after weighing it, the United States decided not to continue to oppose it.

France doesn't even matter.

Britain and France are the funniest.The relationship between the two countries is delicate.The two countries were collaborators in World War I, or once a country that challenged the current world order emerged, the two countries would cooperate.But after the end of World War I, relations between the two countries became tense again.

Because the interests of the two countries are different.

The United Kingdom does not want France to dominate the European continent and affect its own interests in the European continent, so it does not support Germany's death.But France wants to be the boss of the European continent, and Germany is the biggest enemy, so it has always wanted to strangle Germany directly.Great Britain and France were far apart in their treatment of Germany.

Therefore, there have been constant conflicts between Britain and France in recent years.

Moreover, Yan Huiqing told France on behalf of Duan Xun that if France supports China in this matter, then Duan Xun is willing to continue to open Yunnan and Guangxi and strengthen cooperation with French Indochina.

Willing to sell the Yunnan Gejiu tin mine to France at a favorable price.

So France finally backed down.

With the changes in the attitudes of the United States and France, Britain really couldn't stand it, so it could only make concessions.Anglian, who served as the General Taxation Department of the Chinese Customs, offered to resign, and Duan Xun approved his resignation in his capacity as Deputy Prime Minister of the ROC Cabinet.

Although the Chinese Customs is controlled by the British, it is the Chinese Customs after all.
