Beiyang reactionaries

This is the problem.

Dai Kan would not regard himself as Duan Xun's subordinate, nor would he be submissive to Duan Xun, only listening to Duan Xun's opinion.Dai Kan has his own bottom line.That is to say, to have one's own political ideals.

Although Yang Yongtai is more obedient, Duan Xun admires Dai Kan more.Because Duan Xun will become the president in the future, the prime minister is currently one of them.

But the cabinet minister Duan Xun needs is not someone who is submissive, but someone who is trying to figure out what Duan Xun is thinking.Instead, it should be Duan Xun's right-hand man and help Duan Xun handle the cabinet affairs.If you are only thinking about Duan Xun's meaning, then why does Duan Xun want such a cabinet prime minister?Such a person is more suitable to be Duan Xun's secretary.

Therefore, Duan Xun is more optimistic about Dai Kan in this regard.

Originally, Duan Xun had high hopes for Yang Yongtai, so he asked him to share a lot of work.I want to make him enhance his ability in this area, but it doesn't seem to be very effective.

Once encountering a big event, Yang Yongtai has no idea of ​​his own, and always considers Duan Xun's ideas first.

"What if there is a conflict?"

Liang Hongzhi asked again.

Dai Kan paused, looked at Duan Xun again, and finally said: "We should try our best to avoid conflicts, especially military conflicts. But we should not be afraid of conflicts. The more we are afraid of conflicts, the more we will be at the negotiating table. The more we have no confidence. The Japanese are not stupid. If we have no confidence, they can tell at a glance. Therefore, we must be mentally prepared for a military conflict and use such courage to negotiate with the Japanese. Even if a conflict occurs, We should respond positively. The more we are afraid, the worse the result will be. Because our timidity will affect the morale of the army and the people."

Duan Xun nodded slightly.

Dai Kan expressed Duan Xun's thoughts.

Yang Yongtai has been observing Duan Xun and considering Duan Xun's thoughts.Recalling Duan Xun's actions in the past few months, he slowly got an answer that surprised him.

fight?

Duan Xun has been preparing for war?

As soon as this idea came out, Yang Yongtai considered Duan Xun's arrangements for the past year more carefully.The deployment of the army, the deployment of the police system, and this time the customs incident.

customs?

Yes, it is customs.

Without Duan Xun's support, even if Weng Jingtang really wanted to raid these four customs, it would not be possible to have such a big momentum.Customs, customs, Duan Xun is going to make a fuss about customs.

Yang Yongtai is very smart.

He was able to fully understand many things when others could not understand them.He can fully remember and summarize details that others cannot see.

In the past year, Duan Xun has increased the number of police officers in the northeast region in the name of suppressing bandits, and the number has increased a lot.Considering now, the increase in the number of disaster relief mobile units is not all along the Yangtze River, directly facing the Japanese docks in China.

The complete composition comes out slowly.

The more I think about Yang Yongtai, the more surprised I am. Duan Xun has arranged so many things in one year.At present, China has three armies in Shandong, plus some scattered troops, there are about 13 troops.And there is another army stationed in Xuzhou, which is four armies, [-] to [-] troops.

There are few troops in the Northeast, only one army.But Tang Shengzhi's army is an overstaffed army, with three infantry divisions and two cavalry divisions, and an army has more than 6 people.

In addition, there is a newly formed bandit suppression division, which has increased the number of policemen by so many, and there are several armies in the Rehe area.Of course, in the past year, Duan Xun has increased the number of troops in the Gyeonggi area in the name of defending the capital.These troops can quickly enter the Northeast and Shandong.

Unknowingly, Duan Xun gathered 45 troops in the Northeast, Rehe, Gyeonggi area, and Shandong area.

This means that they are fully prepared for war, and now they are just looking for some excuses.

be surprised.

Very surprised.

Yang Yongtai has been following Duan Xun for many years. Although he knows that Duan Xun is bold, Duan Xun is more stable.It is rare to take risks in what you do, on the contrary, you are very cautious.

Unexpectedly, Duan Xun was preparing to fight Japan.

Do you support it?

Yang Yongtai said in his heart that he does not support such a thing.Because in Yang Yongtai's view, Japan is still very powerful.And the current situation, why directly conflict with Japan.But Yang Yongtai considered the current situation.

At present, Duan Xun's rule is still very stable.

It's better to go along with Duan Xun.

Therefore, Yang Yongtai suddenly said: "Premier Dai is correct. Only negotiations based on strength can achieve good results. In the past few years, the world tariff rate war has severely hit Japan's exports. Therefore, these few days In [-], Japan also had a big financial problem, and it has been abolishing troops. In the past few years alone, Japan has abolished tens of thousands of army troops. As long as we show toughness, we should be able to get back enough rights and interests from the negotiating table."

Although tough, but unknowingly still missed the bottom.

Yang Yongtai finally thought about negotiating with Japan.

fight?

is not good.

dangerous.

After Yang Yongtai said that, the meeting immediately went to the other side.Because of Yang Yongtai's statement, cabinet members from the "pro-Japanese faction" such as Liang Hongzhi and Dong Kang had nothing to say.

Others who did not express their views, such as the vice premier of the cabinet Wang Yongjiang, and the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Jiang Hongyu, are relatively cautious people.But the two of them must follow Duan Xun's attitude.

Especially Jiang Hongyu, who came out of the army.

When I was in Chongqing, I was not merciless in rectifying those merchants from the great powers.Cooperating with Tang Shizun's "smiling tiger", I don't know how many people were shot and arrested.

The relationship with Duan Xun is very close.

Therefore, after Yang Yongtai made his statement, everyone believed that the attitude should be tough and continue to negotiate with Japan.Duan Xun looked at everyone's statements and asked, "Then what kind of rights do we want to get back in this confrontation with Japan?"

377 Unified Understanding 2

"What kind of rights do you think you want to get back this time?"

As soon as Duan Xun finished speaking, many people looked at Dai Kan.Because judging from the situation just now, Dai Kan is the one among these people who has really considered this issue.

Because Duan Xun deliberately ignored this issue, many people thought that Duan Xun wanted to let this matter pass quietly.So, consciously or unconsciously, I let myself forget about this matter, and I was busy with my own affairs, without any specific consideration of these things.So they didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, so they could only look at Dai Kan.

"Prime Minister, I think it is mainly the rights and interests of the Northeast."

Dai Kan also did his part.

He immediately opened his mouth and said: "It is basically impossible for Japan to spit out the 'Luda Land Lease Treaty' unconditionally. The Japanese side has always believed that these rights are because they suffered countless casualties in the 'Russian-Japanese War' back then, and it was very difficult. They think that the rights and interests of the Northeast are their core rights and interests, so it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese side to agree to hand over these rights and interests to us unconditionally. But we cannot do nothing. I think we should set a bottom line and negotiate We must not break through this bottom line. We can adopt the strongest attitude for this."

"Prime Minister Dai, what is your bottom line?"

"Qingdao model. Prime Minister, although our Qingdao model has been criticized a lot by domestic public opinion, I think it was the best and most effective method we had at the time, and it was also the most successful one in foreign negotiations over the years. We should at least take it back. The Jiaoji Railway was established, the minerals of the Jiaodong Peninsula were recovered, and the administrative power over the Jiaodong area was recovered. Finally, the Japanese army was allowed to leave Shandong. Although it was not complete, that was the best result we could get at that time. I I believe that the "Luda ​​Land Lease Treaty" should also refer to this model. We can make concessions in many aspects, but the administrative power in the Kanto region, the ownership of the Nanman Railway, and the ownership of Japan's major mines in the northeast must be taken back. .”

Duan Xun nodded.

Sure enough, Dai Kan is still very tough.

They have their own clear ideas about the "Luda ​​Land Lease Treaty".It's just that he saw Duan Xun's attitude, so he didn't express his opinion.Now that Duan Xun asked him to speak, he expressed all his thoughts.
