Beiyang reactionaries

And to reach a consensus, then solve a problem first.

On March 1923, 3, the cabinet took the lead in making a statement.I hope to be able to make a clear explanation of "all people of the Republic of China are equal" in the "provisional contract".

Don't get ambiguous.

All the points that everyone is concerned about so far are explained in detail.In particular, the "provisional contract", which is the constitution of the Republic of China, should not be vague, but should be the most definite interpretation without ambiguity.

Afterwards, Tang Qunying and the female representatives directly expressed their stance, hoping that the provisional Senate could change the content of the "provisional agreement".I hope to add the word "men and women" after "people of the Republic of China" to clarify the concept of "equality between men and women".

So on March 1923, 3, the Cabinet and the Provisional Senate decided to temporarily suspend the symposium.

Because the provisional Senate is going to discuss matters concerning the "provisional agreement".The Provisional Senate is the highest legislative body. If you want to change the content of the "Provisional Agreement", only the Provisional Senate can change it.

After all, this is equivalent to the Constitution of the Republic of China.

Only Congress has the right.

"Temporary agreement", Duan Xun felt uncomfortable very early on.Duan Xun was dissatisfied with many contents in it, but such things are not so easy to change.

Changes to the "Temporary Agreement" will attract national attention every time.

Therefore, Duan Xun is going to start with women's rights and slowly change the "temporary agreement".Of course, what Duan Xun most wants to change is the political system setting in the "Temporary Agreement".

If Duan Xun wants to create a presidential system, he must change the content of the "provisional agreement".

However, the provisional Senate is not in a hurry.

早在1923年3月13日，内阁和临时参议院就决定先停止座谈会。但一直到1923年3月17日，临时参议院才通过了这份提案。

On March 1923, 3, Yang Wei, as the chairman of the Provisional Senate, announced the results of the Provisional Senate.The provisional Senate interpreted the "people of the Republic of China" in the "Provisional Constitution", and believed that "people of the Republic of China" included all people of the Republic of China, regardless of gender, race, class, or religion. , as long as they have the nationality of the Republic of China, they are all equal.

Therefore, the Provisional Senate decided to make some changes to the "Provisional Agreement".In the original sentence, the word "male and female" was added to emphasize that "the people of the Republic of China" are equal regardless of gender.

This is the first outcome of this symposium.

The Cabinet and the Provisional Senate decided to hold a second symposium on March 1923, 3.The symposium will be reconvened this time to discuss the issue of women's education.

Including the coeducational school proposed by the Ministry of Education, the women's representative proposed that women and men have the same right to receive education, and no school is allowed to reject female teachers on the grounds of gender, etc.

There was another argument.

"Prime Minister Duan, do you want us to have results, or do you not want us to have results?"

The issue of women's rights.

Duan Xun attaches great importance to it, but he will not delay other things because of this matter.The reason why the topic of women's rights is so hot is to dilute the discussion among the people on the "land lease treaty of Luda".

But just diluting the discussion of the "Luda ​​Land Lease Treaty" does not mean that this matter does not exist.Even if the discussion among the people on this matter is diluted a little due to the issue of women's rights, it cannot completely disappear.Especially as the expiration date of the "Luda ​​Land Lease Agreement" is getting closer, everyone still needs to pay attention to this matter after all.Because this is an issue related to national sovereignty, no one can really forget this.Therefore, this matter must be resolved, and Duan Xun must also have an attitude.

Negotiations with Japan are a must.

To form a team to negotiate with Japan.

Cabinet members, as well as Vice President Hu Weide, former Prime Minister Wang Chonghui who is now the President of the Supreme Court, and the new Minister of Foreign Affairs Yan Shichao all attended the meeting.

Duan Xun's meaning is very simple.

Let the veteran diplomat, the current Vice President Hu Weide lead the delegation to negotiate with Japan.However, Hu Weide did not understand the negotiation steps proposed by Duan Xun.

What does Duan Xun want to do.

Do you really want to negotiate, or do you just want to give an explanation to the public opinion outside.Anyway, Hu Weide couldn't see Duan Xun's attitude of sincerely wanting to negotiate, it was more like a perfunctory attitude.

"Since it is a negotiation, of course I hope there will be a result."

"Prime Minister Duan, if you hope for results, then this is not the kind of negotiation. Negotiations have steps, procedures, and expertise."

Hu Weide has nothing to do with Duan Xun.

Hu Weide was very surprised when the Provisional Senate elected himself as Vice President.After all, I should not be the vice president no matter what. In terms of qualifications, status, and influence, it is impossible.But Hu Weide did not intend to thank Duan Xun just because he became the vice president, or what.

He sticks to his ideas.

Negotiation is a science that requires professional knowledge.

It can't be that Duan Xun has stipulated how to negotiate, and even the steps of the negotiation have been stipulated.If everything is done, what do you want these negotiators to do.

"President Hu, I don't know how to negotiate. I just set the bottom line for negotiations on behalf of the cabinet. There is no such thing as a saying that ask for prices and pay them back. Of course, our conditions must start with the highest. Let the Japanese side know that we also have conditions." of."

Hu Weide frowned.

He really didn't understand Duan Xun's thoughts.

Duan Xun's meaning is very simple.In negotiating with Japan, the conditions need to be lowered step by step.The current contact with Japan is to ask Japan to unconditionally return the rights and interests of the Kanto Prefecture and the South Manchuria Railway, as well as the Northeast to China.

Isn't this a joke?

How could such a condition be raised, and how could Japan agree.

Even if the negotiation is really asking for a price, it can't be like this, it's not the attitude of negotiation at all.When this fails, change the content of the negotiation.Discuss with Japan whether it is possible to follow the original Jiaodong model.

Then the Jiaodong model is not working anymore, so we will go to other models.

When will this talk continue.

It is completely impossible for Japan to agree to the conditions.If Duan Xun thinks like this, why invite people like himself.

"Prime Minister Duan, if this is the case, I cannot participate in this negotiation."

Hu Weide has a temper.

Duan Xun, as the prime minister of the cabinet, set a bottom line for the negotiations, which is no problem.Because the negotiation still needs the signature of the cabinet in the end, that is, Duan Xun's confirmation is required.

If Duan Xun doesn't confirm or sign, then the final result of the negotiation will be useless.

But Duan Xun even planned every step of the negotiation process.If this is what they want these negotiators to do, it is better for Duan Xun to negotiate by himself.

This is what Hu Weide cannot bear.

Negotiation is not, I draw the line, others will follow you.There are many aspects that need to be discussed in the negotiation, and every detail is the result of many times of verbal confrontation.Moreover, the negotiation is a professional negotiation, which will involve many international legal issues, which is not as simple as imagined.

You can do whatever you want.

Therefore, Hu Weide directly refused to participate in this negotiation.

Duan Xun smiled bitterly in his heart.

I really took it for granted.Duan Xun just wanted to delay the negotiation time and drag the time past June.When July starts, Duan Xun will naturally start to pay attention to the "Land Lease Treaty" again.
