At first, the June 16 Movement had little impact on the government, and the students put forward the slogan "Return our sovereignty and boycott Japanese goods", but under the drive of well-intentioned people, the slogan became "Fight for sovereignty abroad, punish national thieves internally", but this slogan did not ring for a few days, and it became "Fight for sovereignty abroad, eliminate national thieves internally." Obviously, the first slogan is only a continuation of the boycott of Japanese products, while the second slogan has become an attack on some of the main political parties, and the third slogan is not only aimed at the main party, but also the main party in the Beiyang government. This is not Wang Maoru's instructions, the Anhui system controls the central government, and in addition to Wang Maoru, there are many people and forces who want to get involved in the central government.

The slogan "Chinese Dream, Dream of a Strong Country" from the five northeastern provinces eventually replaced the first three slogans and became the new June 16 propaganda slogan. Wang Maoru and Duan Qirui briefly telegraphed, saying that the newspaper propaganda must be in place, and the new slogan must be replaced by the original radical slogan, otherwise the Sino-Japanese dispute will be triggered and the Beiyang government will be in trouble, which can be regarded as another kind of support for the Beiyang government.

But Duan Qirui didn't appreciate Wang Maoru's kindness, and thought that he wanted to borrow public opinion to win the hearts of the people for himself, so he reprimanded: "The mouth of the people is as leisurely as Mount Tai, dare to suppress public opinion? It is important to know that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and China's democracy begins with public opinion. ”

Wang Maoru was very depressed about Duan Qirui's elm head, and said in his heart, let's wait and see.

Sure enough, Duan Qirui didn't dare to stop the people's grievances, but he attacked Wang Maoru instead. And because of the need to support the great cause of the entire Anhui system, the Anhui system had to send Cao Rulin to continue to borrow money from Japan and sign a loan agreement with Japan. At this time, the Japanese prime minister had changed from Masashi Terauchi to Prime Minister Hara Kei, who was born as a diplomat and did not want Japan to fall into the quagmire of war. Also because of Japan's dispatch of troops to Siberia, he deeply felt that his government was too influenced by the Japanese military department.

At the same time that Yuan Jing asked Duan Qirui to quell the anti-Japanese sentiment at home, in order to show the United States, Britain, and France that Japan only focused on interests and would compete with Europe and the United States, and did not want to compete for hegemony in the world, and to seize the hegemony of Britain, the United States and France, the Japanese government decided to make concessions and retreat its troops from the entire territory of Shandong to Qingdao.

This was also one of the conditions in exchange for borrowing money from Duan Qirui's Beiyang government, and the withdrawal of Japanese troops but the increase in commercial interests were feasible, although President Xu Shichang was not satisfied. But no one listened to his words, which had been stripped of his powers, -- the parliament had approved the prime minister's proposal, and the president had no right to dissolve parliament. The two sides exchanged an exchange of notes on the Shandong issue, the main contents of which were as follows: 1. The Japanese ** team along the Jiaoji Railway, with the exception of one unit left in Jinan, was mobilized in Qingdao. 2. Regarding the garrison along the Jiaoji Railway: The Japanese troops were withdrawn and replaced by a patrol team commanded by the Japanese. 3. The Jiaoji Railway will be jointly operated by China and Japan.

As soon as the replacement clause appeared, it was exposed by sensitive reporters, and the Chinese people regarded the clause as a shame, and it was an insult to China as the victorious country to hand over the railway to the foreign ** team. Thereupon. On June 22, students in Beijing went on strike and demonstrated. Under the guidance of the newspaper, the impulsive students recklessly burned down the home of Cao Rulin, the chief of transportation.

After the incident, Duan Qirui ordered the arrest of the troublesome students, which triggered a larger wave of protests, which has evolved from simply returning sovereignty to internal contradictions, especially the warlords for the central government to reach an agreement with the Japanese at this time of negotiation with the Japanese, and even Lu Zhengxiang, the foreign minister in Paris, France, also criticized the government, criticizing Duan Qirui as a person who did not do good things.

At this time, Wang Maoru, who was far away in Russia, immediately called the Northeast Military and Political Preparatory Department after learning the news, and ordered the local government of Northeast China to support the patriotic students. It is hoped that the Beijing government will face up to the problem and release the patriotic students. In the face of the indignation of the people across the country, it perfectly staged a good show that added fuel to the fire. This is a good show Wang Maoru did, and Zhang Zuolin in the northwest also did it, and Zhang Zuolin also immediately issued a statement, condemning the background Anhui government for being "weak externally and brutal internally". Duan Qirui was anxious. had no choice but to invite Xu Shuzheng back from Vladivostok. In the ensuing student protests, more than 800 students were arrested across the country, triggering even larger strikes. School strikes.

Of course, it was not only Wang Maoru who supported the students, but also the direct warlord Wu Peifu and the marshal of the Northwest Army, Zhang Zuolin, who intervened and stirred up, and suddenly made the Anhui government unable to come to power, and even Xu Shichang said that he could not get sick, and the prime minister of the Anhui system, Gong Xinzhan, was difficult to support alone, and the political situation gradually became unfavorable to the Anhui system.

In order to cope with this volatile situation, Duan Qirui immediately dropped Xu Shuzheng back from Vladivostok, and ordered the army chief Jin Yunpeng to pacify the domestic warlords.

Under the covert planning of the Propaganda Department of the General Military Affairs Department of the Northeast Frontier Army, more and more demonstrators held up large signs with portraits of Wang Maoru and marched, calling on Wang Maoru to stay in the central government, calling on General Shangwu to resist foreign humiliation, calling on the current government to step down, and demanding the dissolution of the National Assembly and the resignation of the prime minister.

At this time, Wang Maoru declared that if he did not release patriotic students, he would lead the Northeast Army of the intervention army to return to China, which would be the most fatal situation in Anhui -- this is the most deadly, Duan Qirui has achieved this international status at this stage, and it is largely because Wang Maoru's Northeast Frontier Army has won continuously after the Russian Civil War. Now that Duan Qirui is the commander-in-chief of the Intervention Army, he is worried that Wang Maoru's army will return to China to seize power, and that the support for the Chinese government will disappear once he withdraws. At this time, he regretted even more that he did not have a strong army, and the three he painstakingly cultivated were swallowed by Wang Maoru, and the other two were not good for suppressing bandits in Russia.

There are many reasons why Wang Maoru threatened to return to China, firstly, because his position in the Volga Army was gradually replaced at this time, especially when the Japanese intervention army increased from one division to four divisions (in addition to the seventh division, in order to consolidate Japan's international status, the Japanese intervention army sent the eighth division, the eleventh division, and the twelfth division into the Russian belly to participate in the battle of Berkrovsk, and the Japanese intervention army suffered greatly after several bloody battles). The pride of the Japanese made them very dissatisfied with the role of Chinese in command of the intervention army.

Wang Maoru's comrades-in-arms, the Russian ** officers of the Volga Army, led by the Far Eastern Department, also began to rebel, and they actually began to seize power against Wang Maoru and other Chinese intervention troops under the agitation of the Far Eastern dignitaries and Minister of Communications Kusek. And Kusek actually reached a secret agreement with Tubanev of the Moscow department, put aside Berevelje, and achieved the position of absolute leadership in the Far East.

After Tubanev sent his Third Army to Berkrovsk, the officers headed by Mishiyev began an internal struggle for power. And after the Czech Legion was stationed in Berkrovsk for ten days to defend nearly 10,000 dead and wounded, the Czech Legion Gaida said angrily: "This is the stupid behavior of the Chinese, they have killed and wounded us Czechs, he is not a qualified commander." ”

Wang Maoru originally had the ambition to be able to compete with Frunze, the greatest military strategist of Soviet Russia, but unexpectedly, he was first squeezed out of the center of the decision-making level.

After the total strength of the Volga Army, which was dominated by the Far East, reached 370,000, the Tsar appointed Deputy Prime Minister Tubanev as the front-line superintendent to unify and coordinate the troops. Tubanev pointed fingers at the deployment of the army, the Third Army of Tsarist Russia did not listen to the assignment, and the Japanese intervention army turned a deaf ear to Wang Maoru's orders.

And the second reason why Wang Maoru wants to return to China is that the Chinese intervention army also suffered heavy casualties, 170,000 troops, 50,000 casualties, although more than 10,000 people are replenished, but now it only has 138,000 troops, and there is a lack of ammunition and other supplies, especially the railway controlled by Kusek does not care about the supply of the squadron, but helps the Japanese intervention army to transport supplies, Tubanev also fully supports the Japanese intervention army, in a vain attempt to let China and Japan fight dog-eat-dog. Wang Maoru visited the soldiers all over the place and found that the morale of the soldiers was low, and the two months of high-intensity fighting made many soldiers reverse the battlefield syndrome. And if this battlefield syndrome breaks out, there is a special term in Chinese history, bombing camps.

Therefore, although Wang Maoru had an abnormal atmosphere on the surface, he ordered the Berkrovsk front to be handed over to the Third Army of Tsarist Russia, the Japanese Intervention Army, and the Russian Imperial Allied Army - now they have been renamed the Fifth Army of Tsarist Russia and the Czech Corps, and the command has been handed over to Tubanev and Mishiyev, but in fact, he sighed in his heart and finally left this meat grinder. At the same time, Wang Maoru stepped down from the post of commander of the Volga Army. Led all the Chinese intervention armies and Turkic cavalry divisions south to Tsaritsyn, Berkrovsk, and had nothing to do with the Chinese intervention army.

Although there are internal contradictions and disputes in the original Volga Army, after all, they are all their own people, and the relationship between the Far East and the Chinese is very close, and the good ones can wear a pair of pants, so the whole army is easy to manage.

But now? The Far Eastern faction betrayed the Chinese intervention army, and the Japanese, Muscovite, and Russians made the Chinese intervention army a marginal role. Fortunately, Wang Maoru stepped down as commander of the Volga Army, otherwise sitting in the position of that crater, there might be some moth.

It is said that it is going south to Tsaritsyn, but the Chinese intervention force only took away all its own supplies and trophies, prisoners of war, etc., and arrived downstream of Tsaritsyn, within the protection of the British fleet, to attack Tsaritsyn and contain the Soviet Russian Southern Army in Tsaritsyn.
