There is not much time and opportunity left for Japan!
The [Chinese] government has put on a full-scale war posture. On December 3, Wang Hengyue, the President of the Republic of China, issued a "National Mobilization Order"!
This is the first "National Mobilization Order" in China's history!
In this general mobilization order, Wang Hengyue asked the country to arm themselves and take action. All manpower and material resources would be used to serve the upcoming war.
The United States, Britain and France also stood firmly on the side of the [Chinese] government. On the 3rd, on the day when [China] issued a general mobilization order, the ministers of the United States, Britain and France made an emergency appointment with the [Japanese] minister in China. In view of all the current evidence,
The Japanese side is at a disadvantage, especially after the crucial witness Yoshikai Eguchi appears. Therefore, it is recommended that Japan accept the conditions proposed by China, avoid war as much as possible, maintain peace in the Far East, and maintain order in the Far East.
Japan is already in a state of distress.
The only good thing is that China finally saved face for itself and placed all the blame on Hiroshi Morita and Yoshimi Eguchi.
The [Japanese] government can let itself off the hook while throwing out scapegoats to preserve face in front of the [Japanese] people and avoid domestic protests.
On December 16, [Japan], our government was forced to announce in Tokyo, Nanjing, and Fuzhou at the same time the withdrawal of warships that invaded Fujian.
The diplomatic balance has been broken!
On the same day, the Chinese government responded and the troops from Guangdong and Jiangxi who entered Fujian were withdrawn to their original defense positions.
The situation has eased, and exchanges between negotiators from both sides have become more frequent.
On the 17th, Wang Qinglu, the Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of China, arrived in Fuzhou. On the same day, Zhuang Qingci, the Negotiating General Agent of the Republic of China, also arrived in Fuzhou.
This means that the "Taijiang Incident" has reached the final stage of resolution.
Wang Qinglu arrived in Fuzhou without stopping and immediately started negotiations with Zhuang Qingci.
For three days on 19 and 20, both sides were arguing about the "Taijiang Incident".
Wang Qinglu's back is very thick at this time. Behind him is the President of the Republic of China and the full support of the three major powers of the United States, Britain and France!
And Zhuang Qingci is obviously very passive!
〖Japanese〗This government has ordered that it must successfully resolve the "Taizhou Incident" before the end of the month to avoid 〖Japanese〗this government from falling into further embarrassment.
This negotiation is called "Double Celebration Negotiation"!
On the 21st, the day finally arrived when the whole world breathed a long sigh of relief.
The plenipotentiary negotiator of China, Wang Qinglu, and the plenipotentiary negotiator of Japan, Zhuang Qingci, announced the end of negotiations between the two parties.
The [Japanese] government replaced the [Japanese] Consul General in Fujian Hiroshi Morita who caused the trouble; the [Japanese] government not only apologized to the [Chinese] government, compensated the Chinese victims 2,000 yuan in pensions, but also punished the murderer.
The [Chinese] side released the detainees headed by the [Japanese] police station in Fujian, Chang Eguchi Zenkai, and handed them over to the [Japanese] side for review. He was injured in the fight and assisted the [Chinese] police in the investigation.
The Japanese sailors were also released at the same time.
This is a major diplomatic victory for China!
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, the Japanese government apologized to the Chinese government for the first time! It compensated the Chinese government for the first time!
〖Japanese〗Japanese forces in China have once again suffered a heavy blow!
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was excited!
The people of [China] and [China] are proud and proud, having achieved a major diplomatic victory!
〖日〗I bow my head!
In front of the tough President of the Republic of China and the tough government of the Republic of China, Japan himself bowed his head!
After the declaration was released, grand parades were held in major cities across the country to celebrate this hard-won victory!
However, President Wang Hengyue did not feel relaxed when the whole country welcomed him!
Yes, this diplomatic struggle was indeed won, but it was not easy. A series of military, diplomatic, and political actions, as well as the full support of the United States, Britain, and France, were able to achieve such a victory.
Victory is only temporary. Wang Hengyue knows very well that a more serious incident will break out in the future: the Temple Street problem!
The struggle against the Japanese will last for a long time. In the years to come, while focusing on domestic construction, we must allocate a lot of energy to deal with the Japanese.
It’s difficult. It’s difficult for me as a great president to do this!
But no matter how difficult it is, since you have chosen this path, you have to go on, even if you are broken into pieces!
After achieving a major diplomatic victory with Japan, this also directly gave the greatest support to the striking workers on the China Eastern Railway!
In December, with the covert support of the Chinese government, a massive workers' strike began with great vigor.
Before the strike, the organizers of the strike issued an ultimatum to Horvath: "He has 24 hours to give up his power-stealing position, otherwise a general strike will be held."
However, Horvath arrogantly claimed: "He represents a true Russia" and firmly refused to resign.
On the morning of December 23, 1919, in Sichuan Time, the train drivers in Harbin Dibao sounded the whistle together, and the fourth general strike on the Middle East Road began.
The land contractors made more than 5,000 small red flags with the words "Expel the Japanese" and "Expel the Huo family"!
Chinese and Russian workers in the Harbin Locomotive Depot and the Sanliupeng Factory, as well as the railway station, printing factory, telegraph office and other departments all participated in the strike struggle. Even many units in the city joined the strike.
This strike received enthusiastic response and support from people from all walks of life in Harbin.
The [Chinese] *** team expressed sympathy and support for the strike, and rejected Horvath's request for them to help [suppress] the strike. They held a meeting in Fujiadian and made a decision "in order to prevent the railway from being occupied by [Japanese]"
, the resolution that Horvat’s rights should be deprived of and handed over to [China].”
On the basis of the general strike across the railway, the Chinese government notified Horvat to resign in the name of the Supervisor of the China Eastern Railway on December 24.
Horvath is out!
On December 26, 1919, the Chinese government sent troops to the China Eastern Railway to disarm the Russian police, and Horvath fled to Beijing. On December 30, the Chinese government officially dismissed him from the China Eastern Railway Committee.
and the position of director.
On the issue of the Middle East Railway, China once again achieved a major victory against Japan and Russia!
〖日〗My interests have suffered another major setback!
In less than two months, the Chinese government has won two battles in succession.
In addition to the Chinese government, the winner of these two battles is another person: the President of the Republic of China, Wang Hengyue!
His personal reputation reached an unprecedented level during these two incidents!
"Long live the President! Long live the Chinese nation!" Cheers continued to ring out among the people.
Wang Hengyue has become the most dazzling figure in China!
Various stories about Wang Hengyue are being spread among the people, and how many more surprises will this powerful president bring to [China], and how many more surprises will he bring to [Chinese] people!
However, at this time, Wang Hengyue also clearly saw that although he had achieved a beautiful victory, he had also put himself in a very dangerous situation: he had become a thorn in the side of the Japanese people and a thorn in their flesh!
As long as there is any chance, [Japanese] I will definitely find ways to get rid of myself, no matter what means or methods are used!
But I will also be more careful and never let the [Japanese] people succeed. I also have almost the same purpose: get rid of the [Japanese] people! Get rid of the [Japanese] people at all costs!
This road is very long and arduous, but Wang Hengyue believes that he will be able to see that day coming!
"Wang Hengyue has become Japan's biggest and most terrifying enemy." In Japan's Consulate General in Fujian, the outgoing Hiroshi Morita sighed: "The scary thing about him is not
How tough his attitude is is that he can always choose the most appropriate time to hit our weakest part and achieve everything he wants."
"Your Excellency, Consul General, I'm sorry for you." Eguchi Zenkai, who had just been released, was full of shame: "It was me who failed to withstand the interrogation of the Chinese people, which caused today's situation. If it weren't for me, we wouldn't be so passive, Consul General
You will not be treated like this because of this."
Hiroshi Morita smiled bitterly: "This is not entirely your fault. It would be the same for another person. I believe Wang Hengyue has more vicious methods. But, Mr. Eguchi, although you have been released, you have become
You are a sinner in the eyes of the Japanese people. When you return to Japan this time, there will be a lot of unfair treatment waiting for you."
"I'm not afraid!" Eguchi Zenkai leaned forward and said, "Since I did something wrong, I should face such a punishment."
"No, I have to think about the future." Hiroshi Morita walked around in circles a few times, and then whispered a few words to Eguchi Zenkai. The expression on Eguchi Zenkai's face kept changing, and he nodded frequently.
After finishing speaking, Hiroshi Morita solemnly said: "Eguchi-kun, living is more meaningful than dying, and living is more important than dying. You are your responsibility and the responsibility to the empire! I believe that Wang Hengyue is not only
If he is only satisfied with the victory he has achieved in front of him, he will definitely make more significant moves to target our empire!"
"Hai!" Eguchi Zenkai said loudly: "For you, for the empire, for His Majesty the Emperor, I will definitely live well. No matter how hard it is, no matter how painful, the interests of the empire are above all else!"
"Very good!" Hiroshi Morita straightened his body: "I will leave here tomorrow and go back to China to accept boring inquiries from those bureaucrats and abuse from ignorant citizens. But I don't care, I will do my best.
Protect you. No one can shake our plan!"
Hiroshi Morita is not willing to leave, nor does he give up. He has spent too much energy here, and he will never give up easily.
He believed that the contest between him and Wang Hengyue was just the beginning. Although the other party won the first round, the one who would have the last laugh must be the Japanese Empire!!
