ww.x.om Chapter 202
"Mr. Zhu Erdian, why do I hear your tone of voice as if it was the Republic of China that lost the war? Are you here to grant peace to the Republic of China government on behalf of the Japanese government? If I remember correctly, before this war broke out, the Republic of China government
We have already taken back Qingdao, and have repeatedly warned the Japanese government not to launch a war against Qingdao. The Germans are no longer in Qingdao. Our government has repeatedly stated to the outside world, and newspapers have repeatedly reported the news of Qingdao's takeover. Is the Japanese government blind? Or is it all Japan?
Are they all blind? Obviously, they are not blind. So after retreating 10,000 steps, the German army is still in Qingdao. The Japanese army is attacking Qingdao and can land from Yangkou. Why do they need to land from Longkou? Excuse me, are there Japanese troops in Longkou? Or Huang County
Are there Japanese troops in Yexian, and in Pingdu?" Fang Jianxiong made such rude remarks that the ministers of the Three Kingdoms were speechless.
Seeing that the three people were silent, Fang Jianxiong continued: "Let me tell you, even before the outbreak in Europe, Germany did not have a single garrison in Longkou and other places. Then let me ask again, what is the intention of the Japanese troops landing in Longkou? If the three of them want to
I don’t understand. Let me tell you that the Japanese government has two purposes for doing this. First, it is Germany’s interests in Qingdao. Second, it takes the opportunity of fighting Germany to further trample on the dignity of the Republic of China. Unfortunately, they made a big mistake.
, Today's Republic of China has got rid of the decadent and cowardly Qing Dynasty. The National Defense Forces will not be afraid of war because of the strength of their opponents. Not to mention, the Japanese army is not as strong as they think. Let me tell you again, the National Defense Forces are
If we can wipe out more than 40,000 Japanese troops around Pingdu, we can wipe out the Japanese troops elsewhere. We have a long coastline, but we do not have a strong navy. The Japanese troops can land at any point at will, but before launching a war, they
We should think clearly about one issue: How to end the war is not the decision of the Japanese government. Ask me whether the 40 million Chinese people will agree to it."
Fang Jianxiong spoke righteously and politely, and Yin Weijun beside him was so excited that he almost applauded. I didn't expect that he spoke so well. Looking at Marshal Fang's eyes, little stars twinkled.
Unfortunately, the three ministers had completely opposite views. This warlord leader was fierce in appearance but soft in heart, strong in appearance but hard in heart. If it weren't for the damn Germans, it would be too easy to trample him to death.
Let him be arrogant for a while, then we can bear it!
"Your Excellency, please allow me to remind you that once the war expands, it will not be a good thing for both China and Japan." Russian Minister Kudashev coughed and stood up to interrupt in fluent Chinese.
Spicy Russian guy next door, do you think I don’t know what happened in East Prussia? I was beaten like a dog by the Germans, and now I dare to point fingers at China’s affairs? Marshal Fang thought about what words to use to make him choke.
Going back, the moment of silence seemed to the three of them that they agreed with this statement.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, in the war between China and Japan, the British Empire, as Japan's ally, hopes to make efforts for peace between the two countries." This sentence is a threat, the naked kind. Let's continue the fight. The British said
We can't just sit back and watch. In fact, Zhu Erdian is just talking hard. This will cause Shi Pei to wander around the sea. The British Far East Fleet is exhausted and needs the help of its Japanese allies. From the results, Japan is doing a disservice and grabbing territory. The problem is that now the British do not
I know.
None of these three countries is good. Marshal Fang clearly sees the nature of the great powers.
"Your Excellency, Marshal, it is found that the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China are equipped with a large number of new German-made weapons, and these new weapons can also be manufactured in Wuhan and Wuhu. Compared with you, who has a full set of technologies, I wonder if it can be transferred to our country?" The French Minister does not have that much free time.
Gritting my teeth, I hurriedly rushed to the main target. The German 75 mountain guns, light and heavy mortars, light machine guns, and submachine guns beat the shit out of the French army. The country urgently needs these technologies, very much.
"We'll talk about the transfer of technology later. Let's first talk about how the three of them plan to mediate the war between China and Japan." The French Minister failed. In fact, it was not because he was crooked, but because he subjectively believed that Marshal Fang should be crying and begging.
Mediation among the three countries is a normal phenomenon. In their view, the comparison of strength between China and Japan is really incomparable. Especially Japan’s navy is simply invincible in East Asia. Is there any comparison between these two countries?
These three people seem to have forgotten that Japan in this era was just like that. In terms of steel production, it was only 250,000 tons. At this time and space, Marshal Fang was born out of nowhere. After painstaking efforts, the production of steel in Wuhan and Ma'anshan was
Steel output is no longer inferior to Japan. With the help of the Sino-Japanese Battle of Qingdao, Marshal Fang blocked the Yangtze River waterway and continued to fight, cutting off China's pig iron and Japan's Yawata Iron from Daye iron ore, producing enough iron for production.
Ore is a problem.
As long as we fight on the ground, Fang Jianxiong will have enough confidence based on the expanded military output in Wuhan, Wuhu, and Shanghai. I won't play with you at sea. According to the existing military output, the monthly output is 10,000 rifles.
, with more than 100 artillery pieces of various kinds, it can equip an infantry division in one month. Do you want to fight for population? China is the most populous country in the world, and this is not just for fun.
Therefore, these three people have mistaken the fact that although Japan is strong, its strength is very limited. If China and Japan continue to fight, the victory on land will only be China's. The reason why they are unwilling to fight is that they are unwilling to fight.
The opportunity to make a fortune in World War I was lost. If the war really continues, who is afraid of whom? Before, it might have been necessary to sell iron, but now that the Americans are willing to lend money, they can just fight.
The three envoys were stunned at the same time. What did this mean? They didn't understand. After hesitating for a while, they looked at each other. Finally, the boss Zhu Erdian came out and asked: "What do you mean?"
Fang Jianxiong said calmly: "I hope to see the sincerity of the Japanese government, otherwise the Republic of China government will not compromise." With this sentence, the nature of a naked warlord dictator was fully exposed.
When Kudashev saw this situation, he thought that Japan would just fight China. He was originally worried that Japan would take advantage of the European war to expand in the Far East. The Russians actually didn't care whether to mediate or not, and they were eager to continue fighting.
"Your Excellency, this mediation matter will take time. Let's talk about the purchase of rifles first. Our government is willing to purchase the 500,000 rifles you have reserved, and the price will be as mentioned last time. It will be paid with the Boxer Indemnity!"
The Russians don't care about so many. The soldiers in the country are empty-handed right now, just waiting for rifles to be armed. Otherwise, how can they fight against the Germans who are armed to the teeth?
Risking one's life. The battle in East Prussia damaged the Russians internally. They had a thousand artillery pieces and 270,000 elite troops. Although Russia is an industrial country with an annual output of 4.5 million tons of steel, if the war continues like this, the consumption will not keep up. But that's it.
Only this time, there are 500,000 79 rifles. For logistical issues, we can purchase some bullets first and deal with them for a while.
As for the loss of artillery, part of it is produced domestically and part is ordered by the United States. The hateful warlord Fang blames him for purchasing 7mm rifles from the United States. The American industrial companies that he engaged in have all installed such production lines. The U.S. military is preparing to replace 7mm rifles.
rifle. From this, it can be seen that there is a high possibility that China and the United States can wear the same pair of pants. No wonder this guy was not there when we went to find Ryans and arrived in Weifang first.
After Kudashev's change of direction, the French Minister also began to say: "Well, mediation takes time, so let's talk about technology transfer first. Our government is willing to give up part of the Boxer Indemnity in exchange for your technology transfer."
When Zhu Erdian saw how thoroughly these two men were crooked, he was helpless for a moment. In the European battlefield, these two companies invested the most, and they could not afford to lose. The British did not invest many troops on land, and the main force was the navy, as well as supplies. In reality,
Britain cannot afford to lose, but Britain's need for new weapons is not that urgent.
"Yes, our country also hopes to transfer technology and pay with the Boxer Indemnity," Kudashev remembered this and immediately took it.
Fang Jianxiong almost wanted to say: "You're dreaming!" Next door to Mala, I plan to forcefully take it back to the customs in a few years. If you pay Gengzi compensation, I don't want to talk nonsense to you now.
"It seems that the three of you are not sincere in terms of technology transfer or mediating the war between China and Japan. I think we will talk about this today. The three of you will go back first and wait until there is a result between China and Japan." Marshal Fang said in a tone.
It's so tough that it's unbelievable. These are the three major powers in Europe. How dare they speak like this?
"What, are you trying to challenge the dignity of the Three Kingdoms?" Zhu Erdian's jaw dropped, and his eyes suddenly became extremely vicious.
Fang Jianxiong's face did not change, he gave a sharp look and said calmly: "Why, Mr. Zhu Erdian thinks that China will not consider forming an alliance with Germany?" With just such a sentence, the entire atmosphere suddenly changed. The three ministers thought
I woke up, and the man in front of me was an extremely pro-German, and also a famous lunatic.
"You..." Zhu Erdian was completely speechless. Yes, what can't this guy do? If China and Germany form an alliance, then the entire world's strategy will undergo huge changes. China has a population of 40 million. Fang Jian
It took Xiong three years to raise an army of one million people. From scratch, it is impossible to know how much help the Germans received during this period. The problem is, where is the combat effectiveness displayed by the Chinese ** team. I can't beat you at sea, and on land.
What are the consequences? Not too much. If a 500,000-strong Chinese army attacks Southeast Asia, Burma, India, and Indochina, what will be the consequences? As for Japan, the reality is very clear. The Japanese army was defeated in Qingdao. The problem is that Japan
They don’t want to fight a full-scale war, even if Britain and France are willing to financially support Japan. Otherwise, with the Japanese character, Qingdao has suffered such a big loss, and there will definitely be a full-scale war. The problem is that Japan does not have it.
