The contradiction between Wang Maoru and Sun Liwen is in the game with the government, not in any friendship, what Wang Maoru has to do is to interfere with Sun Liwen's mind, this person is very easy to trust others, which is a taboo for the political family. It is precisely this kind of taboo that he has committed that makes Wang Maoru more able to take advantage of it. Sun Liwen considered that Wen Dìng in the government and the Kuomintang did attack Wang Maoru, and first suffered a moral loss, so he withdrew all bills that were unfavorable to the northern officialdom, including the cigarette tax.

The tobacco tax is also the tax on the industries around the big tobacco and the big tobacco, and the Kuomintang people hope that the national ban on smoking (banning opium) originally had a good starting point, but the Chinese have been smoking big cigarettes for nearly 60 years, and they have long developed this habit, and some people who do not smoke big cigarettes are like killing him. At the same time, the Republic of China is a country with an open door, China bans smoking, and Western countries have taken all the money of hundreds of millions of oceans every year into their own hands. Therefore, the KMT's smoking ban is an idealistic theory that will eventually lead to the danger of one's own country. As a result, the Kuomintang proposed a cigarette tax bill, requiring the tobacco tax to be under the jurisdiction of the government, and not to be re-managed by the Wehrmacht.

Of course, every bullet was fired at the Wehrmacht, but it was Wang Maoru's prestige that was injured. Sun Liwen also realized that the Kuomintang was a little anxious for quick success, and at the same time, he gradually realized that certain government decrees and bills had to be communicated with the northern parties in advance and fully considered the interests of the military before they could be proposed. In the steel industry, Wang Maoru's firm attitude made Sun Liwen realize that it was not possible to be tough with Wang Maoru, and now he had to buy him and deal with him with a soft knife. Although some extremist forces in the Kuomintang are still clamoring for toughness, Sun Liwen's determination has already been made. Zhu Zhixin and other hardliners were dismissed by him one by one.

That night, when Wang Maoru was sleeping in a daze, someone knocked on the door and said eagerly: "Teacher." There is important news coming back from the United States. ”

Zhiya and Wang Maoru woke up at the same time, Wang Maoru patted her and said with a smile: "It's okay." He walked out in his pajamas, and when he saw that it was Feng Yinbin holding a telegram in his hand, he reported: "I just got the news that the prime minister signed the "Nine-Power Pact" on behalf of our country. ”

Wang Maoru said with his forehead: "Very good." In fact, he breathed a sigh of relief that the signing of the Nine-Power Pact meant that Japan's power in China had been weakened.

The Nine-Nation Pact has one more article than the historical Nine-Nation Pact. There are about 10 articles in total, of which the fourth article is equal opportunities for all countries, and the fifth article is about railway rights. Article 7 on communication and additions between countries, and Article 10 on China's Outer Northeast and Outer Northwest are not the same.

Article 4 The commercial agreements signed between countries and China are commercial secrets and conform to commercial laws, and governments must not interfere in the policies of commercial groups.

Fifth, all railway trunk lines of China's railway network, including construction, transfer, mortgage, and equal opportunities for all countries. After the construction, the managers are the people of all countries. Transfers between countries also require equal opportunities. The manager shall be the transferee. Article 7 If the High Contracting Parties are involved in the provisions of the Agreement under certain circumstances, they shall form communication missions with other countries and China to reach a memorandum of understanding with each other.

Article 10 The question of China's territorial recovery shall be negotiated with all countries and shall not be contrary to the peaceful wishes of all countries, the outer northeast and the outer northwest shall be used as buffer areas, the concessions shall abide by the Qing State Agreement, and the outer northeast shall be temporarily administered jointly by China, Japan, and Russia. Among them, China is the military police, and Japan is the police. Russia as a government official.

The "Nine-Power Pact" also stipulated that Japan must return all railways in China's Shandong Province, that the Japanese Army must withdraw its troops from China, and that Qingdao should retain only a marine corps of no more than 2,000 men, which will be jointly administered by China and Japan. The Chinese government spent money to buy back three Japanese-built railways in China's Heilongjiang Province.

Wang Maoru originally allowed Japan to build several railways in the interior of Northeast China, with the purpose of digging a hole for Japan in the Nine-Power Convention. This time, Japan suffered a big loss, especially the three railways in the northeast, namely Hulun City to Erguna Left Front Banner, Hulun City to Xinbarhu Left Banner, Qiqihar to Aihui County, of which the third railway has just been built to Bei'ancheng. Japan spent a lot of time, energy and money on these three railways in Heilongjiang Province, and Japan believed that Northeast China would be their colony sooner or later, so they were very serious about investing in and building these three railways. How can it not cause a backlash from Japan if it is taken away from us. Behind the "Nine-Power Pact", it also revealed the suppression of Japan by white European countries such as Britain, the United States and France, especially the Anglo-Japanese conflict, which allowed the British Empire to see the ambition in the heart of his student.

The return of the three major railway lines in Heilongjiang and the three railway lines in Shandong to China not only caused heavy financial losses to Japan, but also caused Japan to lose its prestige in the international community. In particular, tens of thousands of Koreans who supported Japan knelt on the ground and cried, saying that this move had caused the Japanese Empire to lose face, which made Jin Jiu and others so angry that they could not do it, and they were now in Japan, but they saw their compatriots crying bitterly because of Japan's international defeat, how could they not be angry enough and scolded these people for all deserving of death. Kim Koo then plotted with others that he must give the Japanese government some color to see, so that the Koreans will wake up that we are not servants of Japan, we are an independent race, and the Korean traitors deeply stabbed everyone in the provisional government-in-exile of the Republic of Korea.

Crown Prince Hirohito in Japan was even more indignant and said that the "Nine-Power Pact" was an insult to the Japanese nation, just as the "Compiègne Forest Agreement" was to Germany, and sooner or later Japan would have a clause that would completely recover the humiliation it had suffered.

The "Nine-Power Pact" is not an insult to China, because the door is open to the interests of all countries, and the agreement that all countries have forcibly demanded from China to sign is to further open up the Chinese market, and the issue of receiving customs that the Chinese Government has repeatedly raised at this parliament has not been responded to by all countries at all.

The Nine-Power Pact was beneficial to China in four ways: the first was the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Shandong, Japan's retention of less than 2,000 marines in Shandong, and even the need to hire Chinese as Japanese policemen for the police, Qingdao became a semi-colonial territory, rather than being ceded to Japan like Lushun Dalian and becoming Japanese territory, and was humiliatingly renamed Kwantung Prefecture.

The second point: The sale of the three railways in Heilongjiang to China indicates that Japan's plan to annex the northeast from the north and south will be broken and hundreds of millions of yen will be lost. Later, the Japanese government opened the price of the three railways in Northeast China to 300 million silver dollars, and when the Sun Liwen government heard about it, it immediately said that it could not afford this price, and after bargaining many times, the price was 210 million silver dollars, but this also exceeded the financial resources of the Republic of China. However, Wang Maoru strongly supported it, it was a big deal to pay in installments, we would give him 4 million a year for a hundred years, and finally cut off Japan's tentacles and let Japan leave China in disgrace. The Japanese gritted their teeth at Wang Maoru even more for this move, and if it weren't for Wang Maoru's insistence, Sun Liwen's government would definitely not dare to spend so much money to buy back the railway.

The third point: the Outer Northeast and the Outer Northwest finally have an argument that China can take it back, but it will have to be discussed separately after it is recovered. The West means that the Outer Northeast and the Outer Northwest are to become independent condominiums, including China, of course. It would be enough to recognize China's right to administer both places at the same time. As long as he is managed by China, what about the rest? This shows that in the future, after China announces the recovery of the Outer Northeast and the Outer Northwest, there will finally be a theoretical charter in the international arena that can stand up. Of course, the premise is not to go against the peaceful will of all countries, what does it mean not to go against the will of Ho Ping? What is revealed between the lines is that it should be taken back from the Bolsheviks in Soviet Russia, because the Bolsheviks represent world turmoil and evil. In short, the Nine-Power Pact provides a theoretical framework for the Chinese government to recover the Outer Northeast and the Outer Northwest. This is also what Wang Maoru is most excited about.

Fourth, let China become a community of interests of all nations, so that China should ensure at least four years of peaceful development, and if Japan or Soviet Russia do not insist on going their own way, China can be said to have time to recuperate.

Of course, the drawback of the "Nine-Power Pact" is that this convention also nailed China to the ranks of the world's third-rate countries, although China is unified, but China is still China after all, in everyone's hearts, China just minus the big braid on the back of the head, that's all. Tang Shaoyi, who signed the "Nine-Power Pact" on behalf of the Chinese government, also had mixed feelings: There are no complete advantages in this world, and naturally there are no complete disadvantages, so how can it be your turn to do good things? After the signing of the Nine-Power Pact, the next step will be to discuss world disarmament, the Washington Treaty.

The Nine-Power Pact was just an appetizer before the Washington Treaty, and what countries were really concerned about was the Washington Treaty on global disarmament, not the issue of equalizing China's interests. Although China has actually gained benefits from the Nine-Power Pact, the sensitive nerves of the Chinese people will invariably think of the word "convention" when they hear the word "convention," and they will invariably think of shame and humiliation, and they will stare wide-eyed at how traitorous this "convention" is.

The persecution mentality of the Chinese people naturally emerged. In order to avoid the excitement of the Chinese people, Wang Mao ordered Li Ziwen and some legal professionals to publish the "Nine-Power Convention" word by word, article by article, and explain them one by one, in which the beneficial to China should be publicized as much as possible, and the harmful to China should be attributed to the weakening of the national strength and foreign bullying as much as possible, hoping that the Chinese people would be able to cheer up and devote all their anger to the construction of the motherland. This is the first time that the government has come forward in public relations to shape the government's image positively.

Under the intervention of the Ministry of National Defense, many newspapers have commented positively on the "Nine-Power Pact", especially for Japan, which made Japan deflated and got three big railways almost for nothing, which made some people very excited.
