Later, Wang Maoru met with Zhou Daotai and Jian Zanlu respectively, and Zhou Daotai was extremely calm about handing over the Ministry of Justice to them, but Jian Zanlu was very excited, Zhou Daotai has always been the lawmaker of Wang Maoru's territory, because he had served as the chairman of the Ba'ath Party, and his qualifications were very deep, so there was no problem for him to be the Minister of Justice. Jian Zanlu was promoted by leapfrogging, so he naturally looked a little excited. The two said that they would formulate more perfect laws, and said that the work of clean government will be the top priority, and that the fight against corruption and the use of power by officials for personal gain will be the main work of the new Ministry of Justice. It's just that it is not yet known where Sun Liwen's government will focus its administration in the future, and the anti-corruption work is very likely to hit the country's unification into the city. Wang Maoru instructed to be cautious, even anti-corruption can not be done in one go, China is a serious disease, if the medicine is too strong, it will kill people.
And Li Ziwen is extremely excited about being the new Minister of Culture, he is a small pen official six years ago, and he became a minister of state six years later, what is this in ancient times? Yipin Minister, how could he not be excited, this Li Ziwen was in charge of the Ministry of Culture, in fact, he didn't think about the scope of the Ministry of Culture's management at all, Wang Maoru asked him to set up a think tank, and criticized him strictly. Li Ziwen immediately said that he would accept criticism and must reflect on it and think about how to serve Xiushuai.
After drawing up a list of officials under his command, Wang Maoru communicated with the KMT in a timely manner, hoping that the two sides would have the same administrative direction in some administrations in the government, but suddenly found that the KMT was fighting because of the struggle for power.
It turned out that after Sun Liwen won over these four chief ministers and four deputy ministers, a total of eight important positions made the people of the Kuomintang so jealous for the first time. How important is the position of the chief of industry and commerce and the chief of agriculture and forestry, as well as the chief of internal affairs, the real power figure in charge of the national police. It must also be extremely important, and they have completely abandoned the Ministry of People's Livelihood in their eyes.
The people of the Kuomintang were originally as hard and united as a stone, but because of these positions, they quarreled with each other, and their jiliè Cheng dù was even worse than when they were arguing with the military. After Wang Maoru learned about the whole process of the internal quarrel of the Kuomintang from the agents of the Central Intelligence Department, he was so happy to bend down, what is this called? Nest in the nest? Or boiled beans? It seems that the people of the Kuomintang also have personalities, and Sun Liwen may not be able to suppress these ambitious people.
At this time, the countries finally reacted to the fact that the squadron had recovered 170,000 square kilometers of land in the northern part of the Tangnu Ulianghai. Notes were issued to China. Among them, Britain, France, and Japan demanded that China stop invading Russia, while other small countries such as Italy supported China, and the Americans were after thinking about it. They have also chosen to support China, whose influence in China has long surpassed that of Japan and Britain, especially the Chinese government, because of their cooperation with Wang Maoru's defense forces. It is even more than Britain and Japan.
Stone of the Great Powers. also because of Wang Maoru's hammer, it cracked.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were 43 concessions scattered in 16 commercial ports along the coast and along the river, which belonged to Britain, the United States, France, Japan, Germany, Italy, Tsarist Russia, Belgium and Austria-Hungary. Among them, 5 are public concessions and 38 are exclusive concessions, with the British concession being the most. 11 in total. There are several concessions in a commercial port. For example, the Eight-Nation Concession in Tianjin, the Five-Nation Concession in Hankou, etc. Investments by imperialist countries, with the exception of road mines and government borrowings. Factories, commercial banks, banks, dockyards, wharves and municipal hydropower projects are mostly concentrated in the concession area.
Among the many concessions, the British concession in China has the most concessions and the largest area, followed by Japan, and then France, and due to the Russian civil war, the Russian concession has existed in name only, and in the eighth year of the Republic of China, the concessions of Germany and Austria have either been recovered or divided.
Therefore, Britain and Japan, two partners and rivals, were particularly sensitive to China's announcement of the reconquest of territory, and the British side was still unclear when Wang Maoru sent Yun Lishan to inform the British ambassador to China. And now, for the sake of its own territory and interests, Britain has begun to join forces with Japan to oppress China.
Japan also invested huge financial, material, manpower and energy in the competition for Australia, ignoring China's development, they just took a nap, and when they opened their eyes again, China had been reunified, which surprised the Japanese government.
The rapid reunification of China and the sluggishness of the Japanese government have made the Japanese military dissatisfied with the strict government, because they have repeatedly reminded the Hara cabinet that China is about to complete reunification, which is extremely detrimental to Japan's hegemony in the future. However, the Hara cabinet always believed that after the end of the European war, the world tended to develop peacefully, and at this time, Japan should concentrate on recuperation and support the struggle of pro-Japanese forces in China in order to restrain China's development. Within the Japanese government, the contradictions between the War Ministry and the Admiralty, and between the War Ministry and the civilian cabinet, caused chaos in Japan. The residual effects of the continuous armed struggle of the workers and the rice riots led to internal and external troubles in Japan. Of course, in Japan, between Emperor Taisho, who had been replaced by a psychopath, and the ambitious Crown Prince Hirohito, he was also involved in the struggle between the cabinet elders and the imperial power. Japan was immersed in the joy of defeating China and Russia for more than 10 years. When they opened their eyes, they found that China, which they had ignored, had been reunified.
This is because Japan has ignored an important factor, that is, Wang Maoru, a traveler, who used a few resources in his hands and tried his best to sow discord, as if Japan was stuck in a quagmire and missed the best opportunity to contain China. On the contrary, when Wang Maoru was in the trend of reunification, he singled out Lu Yongxiang, a clown who jumped off the beam, and jumped a few times, but he was still swept away.
From the end of the eighth year of the Republic of China to the beginning of the tenth year of the Republic of China, Wang Maoru fought the guò war, coerced, coerced and lured, eliminated dissidents, won over most of the people, organized the whole team, and used propaganda methods to promote the cult of personality. Wang Maoru believes that the cult of personality is easier to propagate than national awakening, and national awakening is too general, so what is national awakening? Can a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people and a national awakening in the eyes of 440 million Chinese be the same? Those who are hungry think that awakening means that they can eat enough, and those who are thirsty think that national awakening is no longer thirsty. The cult of personality, on the other hand, is very specific and easy to operate. When the national worship reaches a state of madness, the person's words and decisions are more effective than calling for a ten-year national awakening. At that time, Wang Maoru's statement of "fighting Japan" was more effective than any propaganda and louder than any slogan, which was also the reason why Wang Maoru supported the cult of personality.
Wang Maoru and think tanks Tang Shaoyi, Jiang Fangzhen, Lu Zhengxiang, Yang Du, Liang Shiyi and others carefully analyzed and believed that among the three countries, Britain was the easiest to solve, Japan was the most difficult to solve, and France was the most difficult to figure out.
First of all, it is necessary to guarantee the British concession, the interests of Britain, the right of the British government to speak in the Chinese government, and the commitment of the Qing government to British interests. But the Chinese side has already made a commitment, but the British side is still opposed to the Chinese government, what kind of commitment do they need? Lack of greed has always been a characteristic of the British, they are wolves who cannot be fed, but they still have to continue to sell their national interests to the British.
Yes, betraying the interests of the state. Wang Maoru never thought that one day, he would make this decision, and even he himself could not accept it, let alone understand that he had become a "traitor". At this time, he really understood Yuan Shikai's pain in the face of "Twenty-one Articles".
Wang Maoru handed over the task of negotiation to Lu Zhengxiang, a diplomat, who felt that he could not stand the oppression, and Jiang Fangzhen subsequently withdrew from the negotiations with Britain. After several rounds of negotiations, the British expected the Chinese government to declare war on Soviet Russia, and the British government expected China to commit a million troops into the Russian battlefield to assist Tsarist Russia in victory. This took all the Chinese negotiators by surprise, when did the British be so kind? Actually worried about Russia, let the Chinese invest at least a million troops into Russia? Although Wang Maoru announced the September 9 China Dream Declaration, which claimed that China had 2.7 million soldiers and reservists, Wang Maoru himself knew that he was bragging.
At present, there are only 1.2 million regular army in China, and the Chinese army is 900,000 in two years. Is it true that 1 million troops were sent to Russia, leaving only 200,000 troops to protect the Republic of China, which is 13 million square kilometers? At this time, Wang Maoru only felt that the number of the squadron was small, if it really had 2.7 million troops, the British were blackmailing!
Wang Maoru was furious, the British were blackmailing, and he was also driving the wolf and chasing the tiger, and after the squadron fell into the Russian quagmire, it weakened the strength of the Chinese army.
Now is different from the period of intervention in Russia a few years ago, when Wang Maoru took advantage of the war in Russia to expand his army and seize the opportunity to seize the right to compete in China. But Wang Maoru also regretted it after going to Russia to participate in the war, and this time he would not send troops to Russia. At this point, negotiations with Britain have reached an impasse, but the UK has not talked about further sanctions and actions, and the UK seems to be waiting, waiting for other countries' dialogue policies.
As for Japan, Wang Maoru sent Lu Zongyu, a pro-Japanese official and former Chinese ambassador to Japan, to the Japanese embassy to negotiate with Japan. Before Lu Zongyu went to the Japanese Embassy, Wang Maoru talked with him in detail: "At the beginning, because the Anhui family wanted to unify the whole country by force, they had to borrow money from Japan, and you were the person in charge of this loan. I know that you tried to minimize the losses for China during the negotiation process, but even then you were misunderstood as a traitor and were dismissed from your post. ”
Even though Lu Zongyu is a pro-Japanese official, how can he not care when he is scolded as a traitor, he said excitedly: "Xiushuai can understand, although Runsheng has no regrets. ”
