Chapter 173: A Glorious Journey

1908 Far East Madman Chapter 173 Glorious Journey

'Yuan 1909 Chūn day. ==First. Hair == is a season that makes people dazzled.

In Europe. The Balkan crisis, triggered by the revolution of the Ottoman Empire, lasted for more than half a year. Finally temporary relief. Under the mediation of Germany. The weakened Ottoman Empire relinquished sovereignty over Bosnia and Herzegovina at a cost of two and a half million pounds. These two small Balkan states were formally annexed by Austria-Hungary. Thanks to the "goodwill" of the state reminds. Add to this the weak position of the United Kingdom. Tsarist Russia, which had always regarded itself as the "protector of the Slavs," remained silent. While licking the wounds left by the war. While looking around. Continue the adventurous business of the Manoff family

in Asia. The ripple effects of China's "Shen Revolution" continued. The courage and fighting spirit of the Chinese people in the revolution inspired the nationalists of Southeast Asian countries. They shifted their gaze from Rìmoto's "Meiji Restoration" to China's "Wushen Revolution".

How can the colonial yoke imposed by Western colonialism on the necks of Asian countries be broken? This has become a popular topic. From the snowy island of Korea. to the scorching heat of Malaya and the Philippines. Those who were ahead of their time began to think. It is unrealistic to expect kindness from the colonizers. The only option seems to be the only one left is the revolution. But the violence of the revolution brought more than a moment of turmoil. The chaos caused by the revolution may also create opportunities for other countries to meddle in their internal affairs. The "state affair" between China and Rìben has already been demonstrated. Any threat to the colonial interests of the Great Powers would provoke the armed intervention of the Great Powers. And. As a country that almost became a colony of the West. After getting rid of the unfavorable situation, Rìben immediately embarked on the road of foreign expansion and colonization. This shows that rìben is not a savior for Asian countries. Students from all over the world have begun to adjust their position in the middle of the project.

A backward country in this era. The sad part of it lies in. It is impossible for it to stand alone against the colonial economic system of the great powers. Can the revolutionaries find a new path? All of them opened their eyes wide and turned their gaze to China with bated breath. Thrown into Hubei. The commander-in-chief who threw himself into the Republican Army.

rì本zhèngfǔ之所seized the "Qizhou Incident" to make a fuss. The purpose is clear. In addition to further expansion in the direction of Manchuria. The seizure of the Hanyeping Coal and Iron Complex was also the goal of Rìben. In this way, all attempts by China to develop heavy industry are stifled. Expand the iron and steel enterprises of Rìben. In the service of the continental policy developed by the rìben strategists. If they achieve their goal, the entire Far East's iron and steel industry will be in the position of absolute and unshakable hegemon. Even the Far East steel sales industry of the United Kingdom and the United States will be threatened for a point. No politician with a modicum of common sense and sanity will turn a blind eye.

Not to mention. If rì takes advantage of this, he takes the lead over the district of Chinese mainland. would seriously threaten the interests of the Great Powers in the Far East. In international relations, there are only eternal interests and eternal friends". This is the motto of all diplomats. Otherwise. Nor would the treaty between the two countries be concluded only a few years after the end of the Russo-Russian War.

Place. It is not only the patriots of China who do not want to be carried away by Rì himself. Germany, France. Even Britain, an ally of Rìben, did not want to see Rìben dominate China. China is not alone, and although the aims of the great powers are fiercely selfish, it is undeniable. If the revolutionaries in China were able to take advantage of this, it would not have been a distant dream.

This is called "razing". It was a common diplomatic trick of the Manchu court. For weak countries. Able to survive in the cracks of the great powers. It's not easy. Now the Manchu court has ceded the country. Founded in the Republic. How will those who started with revolution continue the diplomacy of "razing against razing"? Or. They don't bother to use this means? At least for now. No one can answer with certainty. Because history is shrouded in fog. Can't see where you're heading. Unless the person is able to anticipate future historical trends.

The world needs change. Far from the need for change. Because only in the midst of change can backward countries have the opportunity for development. 325rì。 China ordered Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, to once again turn against the telegram. Subsequently, the Jǐng Jie troops were dispatched to closely monitor the movements of the Yangtze River dispatch fleet stationed in Jiujiang in the area of Xiaochikou on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The artillery of the Republican Army stepped up the construction of strong fortifications outside the city of Qizhou. If the rì ship goes west again. What awaits them is not a city that can only be beaten.

The thunderous rì press immediately issued a threat. clamoring for a large increase in troops in South China. Unless China immediately transfers Han Yeping to the merchant business. Otherwise. It is not impossible to have another "Sino-Japanese War". And times. The military is not just seeking a "decisive battle under the direct subordination". The "Central Plains War" they want.

Although this is just the clamor of this press. But no one knew that this was not a sounding balloon released by the rì本zhèngfǔ and the military department.

The Great Powers reacted quickly. The United States and Germany have said this. It will never allow any country to take unilateral military action against China. The fleets of the two countries immediately conducted joint military exercises in the Yellow Sea. And Rì Ben Yuying|, surprisingly remained silent. Later. The diplomatic departments of the United States, Germany, Great Britain, and France have held several telegraph consultations. No news has yet been transmitted to the press.

In this strange environment of international governance. Although the newspaper jumped up and down. Although Yuan Shikai zhèngfǔ urgent telegram after telegram was photographed in Wuhan. But the Vanguard newspaper, which is the vane of the Republican Army's operations, still has a tough tone. refuse

Ben makes any concessions. And constantly create public opinion. Moving the Revolutionary Army|Back to Hankou rìben concession. and expelled the person in Erì himself. Abolish all unequal treaties and commercial treaties signed with rìben in the former Qing Dynasty. Stop supplying iron ore to Daye. Cease to pay all indemnities to Rìben.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows it. Look at the sub-stance. Zhao Bei, commander-in-chief of the Republican Army, seems to be determined to fight to the end. Two days after the newspaper preached it. Commander-in-Chief Zhao immediately sent troops to expel the overseers and guards stationed at the Great Iron Mine. It also encircled the Hankou Rì Concession. Set up a cannon on the side of the foreign merchant's racecourse. Threatened to take over the Hankou rì concession. And that's not all. The Republican Army even sent troops to guard the entrance and exit of the British Concession in Hankow. Not foreigners. In conjunction with the fact that all people entering and leaving the country were subject to the surveillance of soldiers, tens of thousands of revolutionaries staged mass protests and demonstrations outside the British Concession. Continue to provoke this European bull.

The treaty of alliance with Great Britain had just been renewed the year before. The IRA did so. It's a big surprise. This is called "picking up strong neighbors". It's not fun to talk to yourself. Even former IRA supporters have warned the commander-in-chief not to provoke the British.

But the IRA insisted on going its own way. In the face of the protest of the British minister, Yuan Shikai questioned the suspicion of the revolutionary forces, and I did not take the empire in the slightest. It was as if Britain had declined, which made the British government and opposition thunderous. British newspapers reported on the "Les Misérables" of the British Concession in Hankow. It aroused strong indignation among the British people. clamoring to send troops to "teach that Chinese scoundrel a lesson." Under the pressure of public opinion, the British Prime Minister did not fail to make a public statement. If the Republican Army continues to take a hostile position to Great Britain. The British will refuse to participate in the mediation of the conflict. He even threatened to send the main fleet to China. Deterrence by force.

"Enough! That's enough! Commander-in-Chief Zhao. Lift up your noble hand. Let the Chinese take a breather. "There was a cry of sorrow from certain newspapers controlled by revolutionaries. A few days ago, the hard stance began to seek unilateral negotiations with rìben.

"Who is Zhao Bei? The leader of the party is just that! Shen Bing Chaos. Mu monkey and crown jumping beam to sell well. Pick the rì book first. Mess with Britain again. Do you really think that no one cares about the great powers? Qing Father is not dead. The recklessness is not over. I hope that President Yuan Da will make up his mind quickly. Solve the crisis of China. Solve my Li Min's upside down. This is the wail of the constitutionalist newspapers.

Of course. These voices against the Commander-in-Chief were quickly drowned out by more voices in favor of the Commander-in-Chief. The state "chūn branch electrification" is a war of words. But China's hardline posture has not been seen in recent years. For the Chinese people who have been suppressed for a long time. It's like a long drought and a rainstorm. jīng God's exhilaration. It's not a clown in a newspaper that can be covered up.

"rì一rì does not withdraw. The IRA must not slack off! The backbone of China. It's just the Republican Army! Only Zhao Zhenhua! ”

"A hundred years of national shame. Snow in the air! The great powers are especially bullied. Chinese people should be self-reliant! ”

……

The ode is inevitably mixed with some flattery. on this. Zhao Bei just laughed it off. A big stroke of the pen. Write an unsigned article in the newspaper Vanguard. As a correspondent with the army. Reveal to the public the hardships of the Republican Army's westward expedition to Sichuan. Deliberately pointed. Against the IRA at this time. Except for a few old-fashioned people who don't know the situation. Most of the others were lackeys literati who received rì本zhèngfǔ black. For these people. It should be resolutely defeated.

Chapter 1 out. It's lively. Under the guidance of some "people with a heart". Some enthusiastic youths poured into the streets. Destroy the newspaper offices that advocated the disbandment of the Republican Army and went to the north to apologize. The main writer was either beaten or hung up with the sign of "Han Jiān" and paraded through the streets. Although the various armies quickly suppressed this chaotic phase bomb. But society as a whole is like a powder keg that is about to explode. There will be another revolution at any time.

The Second Revolution?

People who have calmed down will go to Hubei. To the Director-General.

The commander-in-chief also lived up to expectations. Strike while the iron is hot and write a few more articles. The advantages and disadvantages of rìben are carefully analyzed. It clearly puts forward the anti-rì combat strategy of "space for time". Pointed. Once in rì now go to war. It's a protracted war. China can only adopt the "drag" formula. Drag Rì Ben to death! With this kind of determination to end together. forced Rì to retreat.

To boost morale. He repeatedly touted the history of Germany's rise. Calling on citizens to learn from Germany. Save this ancient nation with nationalism and statism. These articles were published by him under his real name. At the end, without exception, a very sensational sentence was written:

"Men should join the army. Be a soldier and be a republican! ”

A slogan was shouted. The crowd is emotional.

"Be a soldier! Vote for it! ”

"Iron-blooded China. Iron Men are needed! The backbone of China. It's the Republican Army! ”

Inspired by slogans. Young people from all over the world have packed up. Embark on the journey. They sang military songs. Waving red flags. There is only one purpose: Wuhan. These. Many of them are intellectuals who have learned a lot of money. There are overseas Chinese from distant and foreign countries. their joining. In a very short period of time, the Republican Army was injected with the most combat-ready fresh blood. Although they could not all go to war, no one could deny it. Their knowledge will not be useless.

"Long dream for a thousand years, how to wake up. Who made the jǐng bell? ……”

In the loud military songs. The jīng god of the Republican Army has spread throughout China. This jīng god will guide this nation on a new journey!

This journey is bound to be spilled with blood. It must also be glorious!
