Beiyang reactionaries

"China just took advantage of an advantage and an opportunity. Speaking of the current Chinese Prime Minister Duan Xun, he was born in a soldier and is very smart. He used his methods of fighting on the battlefield to deal with diplomacy. Former In the past few years, China and Japan have been fighting fiercely. I really thought that he and Japan wore the same pair of pants. He was a puppet supported by the Japanese. Unexpectedly, I really did not expect that the Chinese government played a trick, and Duan Xun was fooled. Everyone. Even Japan was confused by Duan Xun, thinking that he was a friend of Japan. This person is really a hypocrite, he is joking with the Japanese on the surface, but secretly he is preparing to go to war with Japan."

Nathan shook his head, not supporting his nephew's words.

Continued: "It is precisely because Japan is not prepared, while China is fully prepared. So for a while, the Chinese army caught the Japanese government by surprise. The number of Japanese troops in the Northeast and the Korean Peninsula is too small, and their weapons and equipment are not as good as Japan's elite. Troops, so now they have not reacted for a while, and are at a disadvantage on the battlefield. But haven’t you heard? Japan has mobilized a large force to enter the Northeast and the Korean Peninsula. A division of troops has already entered Lushun, and a division The troops of the regiment landed in Busan Port. As long as the Japanese army comes over, the Chinese army will not be an opponent. Impossible."

Nathan has great confidence in the Japanese army.

Because Nathan has been in China for more than 30 years.

What is the Chinese army?

Japan is one of the great powers that can sit on an equal footing with European and American countries.Although it is said that Japan was a country supported by the United Kingdom in the early years, as Japan's wings became stronger and stronger, it has already regarded the Far East as its own territory.Even the United Kingdom, which is still the world's hegemon, is no longer Japan's opponent in the Far East and is rejected by Japan.

In the past few years, Japan has joined forces with the Chinese government to continuously suppress British and French forces.He also rejected American forces from getting involved in the Far East and became the hegemon of the Far East.Who can ignore Japan.

A few years ago, Japan even wanted to play a naval arms race with Britain and the United States.

If Japan did not have enough strength, how could those great powers make Japan so arrogant.

Compared with Japan, China has been a failure since the Opium War.The Chinese army has suffered disastrous defeats against the great powers one after another.And every fiasco is to escape, so who will be optimistic about China.

So is Nathan.

Not optimistic about the Chinese army at all.

"Uncle, if Japan loses, then I don't know how many banks and rich people will go bankrupt."

Little Nathan was a little worried.

Japan's own financial situation is not very good.In addition, because the war happened too suddenly, Japan could not raise the military expenses needed for the war in a short period of time.Therefore, in order to raise military expenses, Japan issued a large number of war bonds in Europe as it did in previous wars.

And many banks and rich people in Europe bought bonds.

why?

They all believed that Japan could win.The war bonds issued by Japan, or all war bonds, have very high interest rates, comparable to usury.They are not afraid that Japan will not pay back the money.Because as long as Japan wins, the investment will be secure.

Japan raised about [-] million pounds for the war.This time Japan is going to completely defeat China, and then blackmail China severely.Compared with the previous Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, more indemnities were paid and more land was occupied.

But once Japan loses, these bonds will become waste paper.

How many banks will fail.

"It's a good idea."

Nathan sneered.

Then he said: "Everyone believes that Japan can win, so they will buy Japanese bonds. It is easy to say what Japan wins, hello, me, hello, everyone, everyone makes money. But once Japan loses, Japan wants to lose This debt is unlucky to think about. What is the amount of [-] million pounds in bonds? Even for the empire, this is a very large amount. Do you think it is possible for the Japanese government to let it go? Don’t say it then It is the principal, and the interest cannot be less. If Japan can’t even defeat China and is defeated by China, then Japan deserves to decline. A country that can’t even defeat China has the right to renege on its debts.”

Which one of the bankers in Europe is easy to mess with.

All of them are vampires.

You borrowed so much money from them and want to renege on the debt, what a joke.Japan won, everyone is very good.Japan continues to be his overlord in the Far East, and those bankers get high interest rates.But once Japan fails, those bankers will definitely come up and continue to take a bite.

Adding insult to injury is their forte.

If Japan cannot even defeat China, or even be defeated by China, then Japan is a loser.At that time, Japan will be the same as China before. If they don't mortgage customs or certain taxes to those European banks, how can they let it go.

"You don't have to worry. Nothing will happen."

Not only banks in Europe bought bonds issued by Japan, but even Nathan and the others bought some war bonds.In addition to issuing bonds in Europe, Japan also issued many war bonds in the concessions in China.

why?

fast.

Issuing bonds in the concession on the Chinese side can quickly raise a batch of funds.The foreigners here also believe that Japan can win.So very enthusiastically bought Japanese war bonds.

"Uncle, I'm always worried. We've bought tens of millions of pounds, and that's a lot of money."

"nothing."

Nathan likes China.

It really is.When Nathan was in the UK, although he was considered an upper class, it was just that, nothing special.But after he came to China and took control of the Kailuan Coal Mine, he became a world-class rich man.

It is estimated that in the UK, there are so many bankers, few of them are their opponents in terms of assets.

How good.

Those bankers spent the bank's money, but they spent their own money. With 1000 million pounds, he is already a world-class rich man.

"bang bang bang-"

"whats the matter."

Nathan was leisurely talking to his nephew, but someone knocked on his door outside.

"My lord, there are a few people outside. They say they are from the Tianjin Police Department."

"Tianjin Police Station? Chinese police?"

"Yes."

"What did the Chinese police want me for?"

Nathan was puzzled.

This is the British Concession.

What is a concession? A concession is a country within a country.It can even be said that the concession is the British land in China and has nothing to do with the Chinese government.

The British Concession has its own administrative organs and its own police.

Tianjin police?

That is the Chinese police, they have nothing to do with the concession.

"Let them in."

Nathan didn't care.

Let them in with a wave.Soon three people walked in, all wearing ordinary clothes.The person who walked in the front was about 40 years old.

"What are you looking for from me?"

Nathan has spent too much time in China, and he also knows Chinese etiquette very well.
