Beiyang reactionaries

The guard took Xiao Pan Youji's ID and looked at it, and then said: "The car cannot go in. Minister Xiao Pan can go to the reception room and wait."

"Thank you."

Little Pan Youji immediately got out of the car.

Then he walked in with the guards and came to the reception room.I was thinking about how I would negotiate with Duan Xun.About seven or eight minutes later, or about ten minutes later, anyway, when little Pan Youji was feeling agitated, there was the sound of leather shoe footsteps at the door.

Very loud.

Little Pan Youji stood up, just in time to see Duan Xun enter the room.

"General Duan."

"Minister Pan, sit down."

392

"Minister Pan, please sit down."

Duan Xun didn't exchange any pleasantries, it was completely different from before.

There is no prologue.

He just said a few words, then sat directly on the upper seat, and said to Little Pan Youji: "Minister Pan, I don't know what you mean by looking for me today? If you have anything to say, you can speak directly."

Seeing Duan Xun's attitude, little Pan Youji also understood what Duan Xun meant.China and Japan have completely fallen out. Now is the time for war, and the relationship between China and Japan does not need so many hypocritical politeness.

With the outbreak of war, Duan Xun and Japan are no longer allies, and there is no such close relationship as before.The original hypocritical relationship between the two parties was directly separated and became the enemy.

The two countries are fighting now, so why bother to make some hypocritical greetings.

So little Pan Youji also said very directly: "General Duan, I am here today to represent the imperial government, and I want to talk to General Duan about how to end this war that has caused great harm to the people of the two countries. Our two countries have always been very friendly My friends, the empire is also very sorry for the war. Therefore, the empire hopes that the two countries can restore friendship and end the current war. And the imperial government hopes that General Duan will show mercy to our people who have suffered from the earthquake, lift the current ban, and let these people The disaster victims can get more daily necessities.”

Yes.

The two parties no longer need to maintain that hypocritical relationship.But little Pan Youji is an excellent diplomat, and even in a state of rage, he still maintains his demeanor.

In comparison, Duan Xun is not as good as these professional diplomats in terms of self-cultivation and professional quality in this area.If they were replaced by professional diplomats today, such as Yan Huiqing who is currently in Shanghai, and Gu Weijun, the ambassador to the United States, they would definitely not be as casual as Duan Xun.

Because they are all professional diplomats.

Even if they are fighting each other, they will maintain their diplomat demeanor.

But Duan Xun didn't care.Anyway, Duan Xun was born in "Qiu Ba" in the eyes of others, and if he did some outrageous things, no one would blame Duan Xun for his lack of manners.

After listening to little Pan Youji's words, Duan Xun put his hands on the table, his fingers kept shaking.

However, every time his fingers trembled on the table and made a sound like "da-da-da-", little Pan Youji's heart would beat accordingly.This feeling made little Pan Youji very angry.

Once upon a time, Duan Xun flattered little Pan Youji in every possible way.

Every time I see myself, it's like seeing an old friend I haven't seen for a long time.At that time, Duan Xun's attitude was so good, and his tone was very restrained.Because at that time, it was Duan Xun who asked Japan and little Pan Youji.But look now.Duan Xun came over wearing a military uniform and expressed to Xiao Pan Youji that he was not only the prime minister of the cabinet, but also the chief of the military department.

This is an attitude.

tough attitude.

Tell Xiao Pan Youji that he is a soldier and is not afraid of war.

Not only that, the attitude is also very cold.After he finished his request, Duan Xun didn't answer immediately, but thought quietly there.

This made little Pan Youji very angry.

Damn.

Why didn't I realize that Duan Xun was a poisonous snake before.The farmer and the snake, he himself is the blind farmer, and Duan Xun in front of him is the poisonous snake.

How could you sit here without your own support, without the support of the empire.But now it turned out to be turning face and denying people.If possible, he really wanted to go up and shoot Duan Xun.

An "ungrateful" bastard.

"It's not impossible to lift the ban."

After a long time, Duan Xun finally spoke slowly.

"General Duan, innocent people should not be involved in the war. I hope you will show mercy to the Japanese people who suffered from the disaster and lift the ban as soon as possible. So that our government can have enough relief supplies."

Xiao Pan Youji was overjoyed when Duan Xun said that the ban could be lifted.

Japan needs to import more resources and daily necessities from China, because Japan is an island country, and many things it has always needed have been plundered and imported from China.

"Minister Pan, I should have told you. Although I am a soldier, I am not a person who likes to fight. But I am also not a person who is afraid of war. Once I fight with people, I will do whatever I can. Go all out. I will never show any mercy to my enemies."

Little Pan Youji was taken aback.

His face changed, because he already understood what Duan Xun was talking about.But little Pan Youji is a professional, and immediately said: "General Duan, the imperial government has always regretted the conflict between our two countries. The imperial government is unwilling to become an enemy with General Duan, so the imperial government very much hopes to end this wrong war."

"Minister Pan, it's better not to fight if you can. I also agree."

"General Duan, the imperial government hopes to reach a temporary truce agreement with General Duan."

"Ha ha."

Duan Xun smiled.

Looking at Little Pan Youji, he said: "Minister Pan, I think your country will always forget that I am a soldier. The most taboo thing in war is to give the enemy a chance to breathe. What is needed in war is to take advantage of the victory and pursue it without giving the enemy any chance to counterattack. Temporary Armistice agreement, I will never sign this kind of agreement. If you want to sign it, sign the armistice agreement, not some temporary armistice agreement."

"General Duan, if you have any conditions, you can tell them directly."

Little Pan Youji understood what Duan Xun meant.

He doesn't have time to grind now.He must know Duan Xun's bottom line so that Japan can respond.So little Pan Youji asked Duan Xun's conditions very directly.

"First, abolish the Fourth Treaty of the People's Republic of China."

After all, this was signed by Yuan Shikai in the early years. Although compared with the "21 Articles", it has been greatly reduced, but in fact, there are no conditions that were not agreed to as later generations said.

On the contrary, the power lost by the Four Ministries Treaties is still a lot.

According to the "Fourth People's Treaty", most of the power in Northeast China and Shandong is in the hands of the Japanese. The "Fourth People's Treaty" sold most of the interests of Northeast China and Shandong.

But since Yuan Shikai signed it, there is also a legal basis for the Japanese to rely on this treaty to argue with the Chinese government.Because when Yuan Shikai signed the "Four People's Treaties", Yuan Shikai was the official president of the Republic of China.The contract he signed is legally binding.So wars belong to wars, and if you want to truly abolish some unequal treaties, it is absolutely impossible to solve them in one sentence.

On the contrary, they need to be resolved one by one at the legal level.

Therefore, the first thing Duan Xun has to solve is to abolish the Fourth Civil Treaty.Only by abolishing this treaty can Duan Xun put forward other conditions.

"General Duan, please continue."
