Chapter 166 on the terms of the rì negotiations

Kita stopped his speech and silently watched the reporters' movements, and only resumed his speech when the last circle was placed on the stone mill.

"You are all kind people, two old people are not good at words, I thank you for your generosity on behalf of these two old people. However, you can help one family, but you can't help everyone, and if you can help for a while, you can't help for a lifetime. In fact, even without your donations, these two elderly people would not have starved to death, and now the Republican Army is setting up an orphanage and an orphanage to help the orphans and families of martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country.

We are standing here today, in fact, not to take a look at the tragic situation of the victims of the Qizhou tragedy, but to reflect on why such a tragedy happened? and how to avoid a repeat of such a tragedy.

Please remember the following facts: In 1895, that is, the 21st year of the puppet Qing Dynasty, the Chinese government plundered 230 million taels of silver from China through the Sino-Japanese War, which was converted into 40 million British silver, which was the people's fat and ointment of the Chinese people, and the puppet Qing court at that time had to borrow foreign debts in order to raise these indemnities, and these foreign debts were all usurious.

What is this concept? Let me tell you that in order to repay these foreign debts, the puppet Qing court needs to pay 20 million taels of silver to foreign consortia every year! And what is the state income of the puppet Qing court in a year? 80,000,000 taels of flat silver.

By the way, when the Sino-Japanese War was in full swing, Britain provided facilities for the purchase of arms for the Rìben, and a few years after the end of the war, the British formally concluded a treaty of alliance with the Rìben.

So why is the UK doing this? Please remember the fact that the British took advantage of the post-war Qing court's borrowing to seize the customs power in China in one fell swoop! Although Britain had usurped the customs power long ago, it was the First Sino-Japanese War that 'legalized' this kind of arrogant and rude hegemonic behavior, and the British tried to continue to occupy the customs power in China for 45 years with the written guarantee of the puppet Qing court! Forty-five years, I'm about to catch up with the age of these two old people! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Bei looked at the two old men and whispered a few words to Tian Jinfu, and Tian Jinfu invited the two old men back to the thatched house, and the silver yuan was also moved back to the house.

Raising his head and looking at the reporter, Zhao Bei waved his fist and said hatefully: "The customs power is sidelined, the tariff power is in the hands of the British, the tax rate is set by the British, and the British can import British goods into China cheaply, including opium!" With tariff control, the British could unscrupulously suppress Chinese industry, commerce, handicrafts and agriculture! Without the dominance of tariffs, it is impossible for China's real estate industry to develop! And all this must be traced back to the Sino-Japanese War! Today, we can say that that shameless war to plunder China was planned by the British in conjunction with Rì himself! China's backwardness and the poverty of the Chinese people are all caused by Britain and China! And the remote cause can be traced back to the Sino-British Opium War!

Now, we revolutionary soldiers are using our blood and lives to rewrite the destiny of this country, the republican revolution has achieved partial success, as long as we are given time, we have the confidence to make this country rich and strong, and become civilized!

But. Some people don't want to see China's rise. I don't want to see China wake up. So. They shot. Nineteen Chinese citizens were killed with this single move! Hands-on is a rì ben pirate. And stand behind the pirates. And a smirking English robber!

So. The '~state tragedy' was not a simple incident. It's a long-planned, sinister international political conspiracy! The mastermind is the British zhèngfǔ. The specific implementer is the British land-raising lackey rì Ben! The ground they want to achieve is very dangerous. That is to monopolize China's rights and interests. Squeeze out countries that are trying to do normal trade with China!

Yesterday came the news. The United States of America and the German Empire have successively recognized our republican zhèngfǔ. The treaty on the establishment of diplomatic relations was formally concluded today. The two countries established diplomatic relations with the Republic of China. Please note. The establishment of diplomatic relations this time is timely. Moreover, there are no special conditions attached to the treaty of establishment of diplomatic relations. The only requirement is to maintain the existing Sino-American and Sino-German treaties.

But look at England and Rì Ben. What are they doing? After the establishment of the Republic Provisional zhèngfǔ. They were reluctant to recognize the legitimacy of this revolution. What are they thinking? According to the inside information I got from the north. The conditions for the establishment of diplomatic relations in the land opened by Rì himself were extremely harsh. These Oriental bandits not only wanted to monopolize the coal and iron mining rights of the three eastern provinces. Moreover, they want to monopolize the right to build and operate railways there. Once they acquire these privileges. Not only will commodities from other countries be completely excluded from the markets of the three eastern provinces. Even we Chinese cannot build our own national railways and mines on our own land! As for the British. Although I don't know what they're up to right now. But without asking. On the issue of establishing diplomatic relations, the British and Rì himself were embarrassed. They all want to blackmail the Chinese through negotiations on the establishment of diplomatic relations!

Right now. The Qizhou tragedy happened. Rì himself has further raised the conditions for the negotiation of the establishment of diplomatic relations. The British were also slow to take a stand. Let's think about it carefully. Now can we still say that ~ the state tragedy was just an accident?

No! This is not an accident. This is an international conspiracy! Orchestrated by the British. rì himself implemented. Ridiculously yes. Until now, there is still such a group of people who have been confused by Rì himself and the British. Still talking for these two bandit states.

Wake up, let's unite, let's use me

Sincerity, courage and wisdom to take on the robbers! While the British stand
