After Qiao Yu took it over, he saw a total of six conditions listed above as conditions for Germany to help Sichuan upgrade the Sichuan factory. The first was to protect all German interests in Sichuan and expand them appropriately; the second was for Germany to send an advisory group to train the Sichuan military police;
The third is to establish a Sino-German trading company, which is responsible for purchasing local products from Sichuan for Germany; the fourth is that Sichuan University offers German courses, and Germany is the first choice for studying abroad; the fifth is to ensure the security of areas near Sichuan; the sixth is that all Sichuan military ordnance must be purchased from Germany.
Qiao Yu looked at these six items, and his heart couldn't help churning. No matter the Germans or the British, as long as they are Western powers, there is no good thing. They are greedy. This is to fully control themselves economically and militarily. If they can be fully implemented
, I am afraid that Sichuan will completely become a German colony, but there will be a war soon. I will take the benefits first, and then kick the Germans away.
"Mr. Consul General, there are some conditions that I, a local force, cannot agree to, and I do not have the power. Therefore, I think some conditions should be discussed. I am willing to introduce Germany's advanced military experience, but can the advisory group be changed to an observation group? Another example is
Article 3 Trading companies can be opened, but a minimum price protection policy must be implemented for local products to protect the interests of the people. On the issue of arms procurement, I prefer Germany, but I have to consider the attitudes of other powers. I should also have the right to purchase weapons from other countries.
."
Wei Si came up with these six items just to ask for a high price and pay back the money on the spot. When he saw that Qiao Yu was on the right track, he was very satisfied. In fact, Germany also had plans to take Sichuan into its hands steadily. It started with Sichuan University in the long run.
Cultivate pro-German forces, and then this land will naturally mature and become a de facto German colony.
"Qiao, these conditions are already very favorable. I think many other local leaders will rush to agree!"
Qiao Yu glanced at Wei Si playfully: "Mr. Consul General, I don't know if you have got any information about Hanyang Iron Works. The Japanese are already preparing to take Han Yeping into their pocket. Now Japan and Britain are in alliance. According to this
If the momentum continues, I am afraid that Germany's interests in China will soon be squeezed by the alliance between Britain and Japan. Germany's army is very powerful, but it cannot reach the Far East. This is still the territory of the British. People who can boldly cooperate with Germany in an all-round way will not
too much!"
Qiao Yu said that he deliberately stopped here. Wei Si's face was already a little ugly. He lost his diplomat's calmness. Japan actually wanted to get involved in the Hanyang Iron Works, adding fuel to the already complicated situation.
, it seems that Germany must speed up, otherwise the Far East will really miss Germany.
"Captain Qiao, I promise you can modify the conditions, but you must stop Japan's actions. Germany will support you if necessary!"
"Mr. Consul General, I look forward to our further cooperation!"
Cooperation with Germany is one of Qiao Yu's established policies, but reaching such a cooperation agreement, which is almost an alliance under the city, makes Qiao Yu feel extremely uncomfortable. This is the helplessness of a weak country, but it is useless to feel sorry for oneself. We still have to endure hardships and work hard.
Chase.
Qiao Yu felt deeply humiliated, while Tao Chengzhang from Shanghai was elated. After he discovered that there was a problem with Wang Zhuqing, he stepped up the investigation and soon discovered that a young man was looking around for him. Tao Chengzhang simply took advantage of his plan.
He pretended to go to Guangci Hospital for treatment, secretly sent his subordinates to disguise themselves as patients, doctors and nurses, and opened a wide net, waiting for prey.
On this day, two people wearing big felt hats sneaked into the hospital. One of them was guarding the corridor, and the other quietly came to the door of Tao Chengzhang's ward and deliberately imitated the nurse's voice and shouted:
"Mr. Tao, it's time to take medicine!"
Immediately, someone in the room agreed and opened the door. As soon as the person standing at the door saw someone coming out, they guessed that it might be Tao Chengzhang. He took out a pistol from his arms and shouted loudly: "Tao Chengzhang, your date of death is here."
We're here!" He raised his gun and was about to shoot, but he didn't know that a cold muzzle had already been poked out from the door, and it was pressed against the assassin's head first...
At this moment, a ward door opened on the side, and several people rushed out and captured Wang Zhuqing, who was guarding the corridor. At this time, the assassin was also covered in cold sweat. It turned out that his actions had long been exposed.
After seeing through it, if he was captured by someone, he would not only be in danger of losing his life, but he would also be sorry for his elder brother. This man is also a tough-minded person. While Wang Zhuqing was struggling, he suddenly lowered his body, and what followed was
With one collision, he knocked away the people blocking him, rushed into the ward that originally belonged to Tao Chengzhang, and went straight to the window. This ward was on the second floor and was not very high.
The man gritted his teeth and jumped down suddenly. Just when he was about to jump down, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. It turned out that the person chasing behind him had already fired, and this man also took out the desperado's weapon.
He was so ruthless that he jumped down from the second floor and escaped from Guangci Hospital like crazy.
"Report to the president, we caught Wang Zhuqing who wanted to assassinate you, and another assassin escaped. According to Wang Zhuqing, that person's name is Jiang Zhiqing, and he is Chen Qimei's younger brother!"
"Trash, how could you let that person named Jiang escape?" Although Tao Chengzhang was angry, it was of no use at this point. However, catching Wang Zhuqing was a big gain, so Tao Chengzhang decided to hold a press conference the next day.
Invite Chinese and foreign journalists and distinguished figures to gather at the headquarters of the Liberation Association.
Tao Chengzhang was the leader of the Liberation Association and a great hero of the Revolutionary Party. The news that he had been assassinated suddenly spread like wings and spread all over the country. Both Chinese and foreign reporters wanted to know who wanted to kill Tao Chengzhang.
, whether it was the Manchus or Yuan Shikai, reporters from all walks of life gathered at the headquarters of the Liberation Society.
Around nine o'clock in the morning, Tao Chengzhang arrived at the press conference accompanied by everyone. Before many reporters had time to ask about the assassination, they were attracted by several people who came with Tao Chengzhang, including the famous leader of the Constitutional Party.
Zhang Jian, Jiangsu Governor Cheng Dequan, former Sichuan Governor Cen Chunxuan, Sichuan Finance Minister Wang Dongcheng, Li Yuanhong's plenipotentiary representative Ma Boyuan, Song Jiaoren, the main figure of the Tongmenghui, in addition to these figures, there are Tang Shouqian, Huang Yunpeng, Lin Changmin and other well-known figures.
The meaning of these big figures gathering together is very thought-provoking. Tao Chengzhang took the seat of honor and took the lead in speaking: "Dear journalists, everyone must know that I was assassinated just yesterday, but today I
The first thing we want to talk about is not this matter, but our decision to establish a new political party, the United Party, with the support of many people who are enthusiastic about constitutionalism.
The main goal of the United Party is to overthrow the Manchu government as soon as possible, realize the peaceful reunification of the country, eliminate the differences between the north and the south, and effectively promote the development of constitutionalism. The founding of the Republic of China was not easy. Today's achievements were made possible by countless heroes who sacrificed their lives and blood.
Come, but the road to constitutional government is bound to be more difficult. Since ancient times, China has been a society ruled by people, not a society governed by the rule of law. It is precisely because of people’s rule that China has fallen into a vicious cycle of rise and fall, chaos and chaos, and it is for this reason that we are gathered together today.
It came from breaking this vicious circle.
Just yesterday I was despicably assassinated by two assassins. If these two assassins were sent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I would have nothing to say regardless of life or death. We are enemies of life and death, but that is not the case. This kind of assassination comes from
Within the Revolutionary Party, they were instructed by certain people in power. They kept talking about democracy and talking about republic. They first used force to intimidate the members of the Senate, and then used assassination to achieve their dictatorial goals. I can only say four things
