At the beginning of the negotiation meeting, the Japanese diplomats and commissioners had been emphasizing in an aggressive tone that Qingdao was part of the European War. As a member of the Allied Powers, and at the request of Britain, France and Russia, Qingdao was sent to Qingdao. All military operations were
It is reasonable and reasonable. The request of the Japanese side is very simple. The Chinese side must immediately stop its stupid military deployment actions and give up the idea of sending troops to Qingdao.
When China retorted on the grounds of canceling all German privileges in Qingdao and formally regaining Qingdao's sovereignty, Japan insisted that China was secretly establishing a secret alliance with Germany. This was a violation of all the member states of the Allied Powers.
Provocation. Once the German troops stationed in Qingdao are able to retreat safely with the assistance provided by China, the Japanese side will regard it as China siding with the Allies and will immediately report the matter to other Allied countries.
Soon the two sides fell into a heated argument. No matter how the Chinese side reiterated and explained the issue of Qingdao's sovereignty, the Japanese side still used clever words and even distorted the facts to criticize. The long table suddenly became
Went to another battlefield, both sides were arguing with each other, but neither of them had any intention of giving in.
After arguing for a full hour, there was still no clarity in this negotiation. It seemed that it had deviated from the subject from the beginning. It was not a negotiation on the issue of Qingdao's sovereignty, but a judgment on each other's faults.
At this moment, Yuan Su, who had not been very obvious before, suddenly raised his hand to signal that the two sides should stop arguing.
The Chinese side was the first to stop, but Japanese on the opposite side of the long table grabbed the last free time and jabbered with words that could be used to threaten everyone.
"Your Excellency Commissioner, Your Excellency Zhaotian, it is obvious that today's negotiations will not yield any results. In this case, let's just clearly explain our final attitude towards this matter." Wait until the audience regains its calmness.
Afterwards, Yuan Su said quietly to the two officials on the Japanese side.
Several translators on the side quickly translated Yuan Su's words into Japanese. However, the diplomatic attaché himself could speak Chinese, and Shoda Heiichi also knew some Chinese. The two of them had already understood Yuan Su's words.
"Your Excellency, General Yuan, what do you mean by these words?" the Japanese diplomatic attaché asked coldly in unfamiliar Chinese, pretending to be a teacher reprimanding a student.
"What do you mean? Since there is no result from this meeting, why waste any more time?" Yuan Su sneered for a while and said in a very contemptuous tone.
"We, the Japanese Empire, have repeatedly given in to your country's stupid and ignorant behavior. Even now, we have a rational attitude and hope that your country will not be obsessed with it. If we can rein in the precipice, I believe that the friendship between Japan and China will definitely be able to
Go further." Japan's diplomatic attaché said rhetorically.
"Do you Chinese people really think that you can withstand the mighty armies of our Japanese Empire with just a few weak army units? It's simply a joke. I can tell you without exaggeration that our Japanese Empire alone
The navy of this empire is enough to wipe out your army troops on the beach!" Akita Heiichi said with great momentum.
Hearing such deceptive words from the Japanese side, several Chinese officials did not have any good looks on their faces. They all stared at the Japanese people opposite them angrily. If they did not consider the occasion and the overall situation, they would just
I was afraid that I would yell out loud immediately.
At this time, Yuan Su stood up without warning and stared at Akita Heiichi with squinted eyes. There was no expression on his face, nor any intense emotions. On the contrary, he said in an understatement: "Your
If the navy dares to go ashore, I will send police to arrest them. It's that simple. If you want to fight, fight, no need to say any other nonsense."
After saying these words, Yuan Su suddenly took off his white gloves and threw them directly in the face of the Japanese diplomatic attaché in front of everyone. This move was beyond everyone's expectations.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Su, who seemed calm, would do such an uncool thing.
No matter how aggressive and bullying the Japanese side is, this negotiation is a diplomatic occasion after all, not to mention that everyone in the Beiyang government knows clearly that the purpose of regaining Qingdao's sovereignty this time is to do everything possible to avoid a direct armed conflict with the Japanese.
.Everyone can attack each other at the negotiating table, even if it involves swearing. But throwing something at the diplomatic attaché, and the thing is a white glove. You must know that the diplomatic attaché represents the Prime Minister of Japan. This is a small move.
To directly insult the Prime Minister of Japan is to openly challenge Japan.
The fundamental principle of b fu. After all, in terms of national and military strength, China is by no means a rival to Japan. The reason why Yuan Shikai was determined to regain Qingdao was largely due to the assumption that Japan did not dare to provoke a Sino-Japanese war.
Good thing now, it is China who has taken the initiative to provoke a war with Japan!
For a time, the local officials in the three eastern provinces were dumbfounded. Even Xu Shuzheng, who was at the same level as Yuan Su, showed a look of astonishment. Almost everyone couldn't help complaining about Yuan Su. Young people will be young people after all.
, to be so reckless! Just now, everyone was just talking and talking, but now that this scene has happened, it is necessary to fight with real swords and guns.
Several Japanese officials and representatives were stunned for a moment, and it took a while before they realized what was happening.
The Japanese diplomatic attaché was so angry that he immediately stood up and yelled "Wow, wow, quack, quack" at Yuan Su in Japanese.
Akita Heiichi also had an angry look on his face. He raised his fist and slammed the table, and roared angrily. Veins even protruded from his forehead when he roared, which showed that he was truly irritated.
However, in the face of the extremely excited emotions of everyone on the Japanese side, Yuan Su, who was involved, was as calm as Zhishui. He gave a cold "hum", said nothing more, and just turned around and left in a grand manner.
They left the venue. Everyone on the other side stared at Yuan Su's back and kept yelling, almost rushing up to fight with Yuan Su. When Yuan Su walked out of the venue, they even heard some teacups breaking and falling to the ground.
The sound of breaking.
When Yuan Su got on the carriage, the calm and arrogant attitude he had previously shown on his face was gone, replaced with an incomparable solemnity. He admitted that what he did just now was partly due to emotion, but even though
In this way, I don't regret what I just did.
In fact, the current situation between China and Japan is a deadlock. If Japan is really sure of provoking a war against China, it will not take the initiative to ask for today's negotiation meeting.
Even when the July 7th Incident occurred more than thirty years later, Japan at that time was not ready for a full-scale war of aggression against China. It was entirely because of the active response of the Chinese Communist Party, which forced Japan to launch a large-scale offensive in advance.
.
At this stage, not to mention that Japan still had to deal with the European war, even if it did not participate in the First World War, the existing eighteen domestic divisions alone would not be able to expand the conflicts between China and Japan.
It is precisely because Yuan Su is well aware of this series of situations that he dares to be confident. In addition, he is deliberately trying to break the deadlock between China and Japan and simply conduct a regional military battle. Perhaps
This military confrontation will cause great pressure and damage, but China will respond to this confrontation with the strength of the whole country. Japan will only fight with a division and a naval fleet.
What the result is is self-evident!
The worst thing is that China's losses are slightly more serious, but as long as the layout is carefully planned, there is still a chance to take advantage. Japan's two foreign wars in the past two decades were all gambling, and the first Sino-Japanese War was a battle with national strength.
The Qing Dynasty's gambling far exceeded its own. The Second Russo-Russian War was the first time Asians challenged Western whites.
Japan dares to gamble on the fate of the country twice, so why doesn't Yuan Su dare to gamble on his own destiny? As long as he can win hundreds of Japanese troops with limited losses in this regional conflict, he can not only gain great personal benefits from it
honor, and can also take the opportunity to acquire more political capital. All of these are the latest decisions made after careful consideration in the past few days!
Anyway, his people and troops have arrived in Liaoshen. Instead of worrying about being seriously injured and being constrained everywhere, it is better to consider how to exchange your losses for the greatest reward!
