Dongjiaomin Lane in Beijing has been a special area of ​​Beijing since decades ago. Many decisions that have affected the entire China, and the unequal treaty was opened here and became a history of humiliation.[][]..[]

At this time, on a sunny day, the British Embassy, ​​the British Embassy, ​​the British, French, American, Japanese and Russian ambassadors gathered together, which was equivalent to the fact that most of the powerful powers with privileges in China were concentrated, except for the German ambassador.

The reason is very simple. Although Germany strongly argues, it is an indisputable fact that the Northwest has a large number of German experts and machines. No one can believe that without Germany's support, China's Northwest can develop to this extent. In addition, the last cotton crisis, China and Germany escaped this crisis, while also making China a cotton power.

Since 1909, cotton has become an indispensable thing for China. The Northwest has not been blinded by the victory in front of us. It has temporarily established itself in domestic demand in the cotton market, but it has had a huge impact on the international market. Without China's million-ton imports and more than 100 million horses, the total amount of cotton in the world has exceeded that, from the violent fluctuations more than a year ago, it has gradually begun to decline, showing no sign of reaching the bottom.

The gathering of several important countries did not invite Germany, which made the Japanese minister very happy. If everyone hated the Northwest, Japan could definitely be said to be on the list. The looms in the northwest, the cloths in the northwest, and the cotton layout of the Northwest in the entire China made Japan lose the largest market. In addition, the cotton crisis a year ago, Japan lost a huge amount of funds, tens of millions of pounds at once. Even for the British finance, it was an unbearable loss. What's more, Japan, which has just begun to be industrialized, let alone China, which has caught up with light industry. It has caused Japan to suffer a series of setbacks, and inflation has begun to occur in China. The Japanese industry, which could have earned a lot of foreign exchange, went bankrupt one by one, which has affected Japan's stability.

Of course, Japan knew that the cotton crisis was also treated as a US meal and was slashed by the great powers led by Britain and France, but Britain was too powerful. The British and Japanese alliance said that it was a combination of the two countries, so it was Britain that placed Japan on the surface to resist Russia. Japan not only made enemies of Russia, lost a lot of funds and personnel, and finally barely stood among the world's powerful countries, but Japan was very clear about its specific status. It was facing an untreated opponent. It was almost natural to place anger on the target of being able to deal with. Japan never gave up on the idea of ​​seizing mainland land. Taiwan and the Northeast were just the first step.

Juerdian looked at the people in the conference room. Unlike previous ambassador-level meetings, there were more people. They were very familiar with them, namely bankers from Britain, France, Japan, Russia and the United States. Compared with ambassadors, they paid more attention to the influence of Northwest Bank. It was also because of the emergence of Northwest Bank that these financiers were angry and almost put forward various conditions to support them, assuming that the Northwest Bank must be defeated.

When Zhu Erdian saw that the people had arrived almost, he attracted everyone's attention, and then said, "I believe everyone, I am very clear about the purpose of my gathering everyone. The issue we are discussing today is the Northwest."

All the ministers were focused and listened to Zhu Erdian's slow narration of the changes in the northwest. In fact, these great powers saw it. Most of the great powers only felt a bit incredible about the development of the northwest, or a direct threat, and they could kill them quickly.

However, among the great powers, the United States had a different feeling about the Northwest. The United States was able to transform from an ordinary industrial country into a powerful country with increasingly speaking power in the world. The journey it has been very difficult. Not to mention the War of Independence, that was too far away. The Civil War almost made the United States lose the possibility of fighting for the world. It took decades. With the industrialization and industrial revolution, the United States has become a real industrial power with its unique natural and industrial conditions.

We began to abandon the policy of unilateral isolation and began to move outward frequently. The Spanish-American War was a test, aiming at the declining Spain. After the Cuba and the Philippines seized from Spain, the United States also began to develop outward.

Unfortunately, like Germany, as an emerging industrial country, the United States missed the best era of colonization. The entire world's colonies have been divided up by the great powers. Germany and Africa have African colonies, but the United States can only take action in Southeast Asia and Asia.

The United Kingdom has always been extremely vigilant about the United States, especially India and China. They absolutely do not allow the United States to intervene. In no way, the United States can only barely enter the Chinese market through the method of most-favored-nation treatment and equal interests.

Because of this, the United States is very clear about how difficult it is to develop in the Northwest. Compared with the United States, it is relatively convenient to obtain most of the machinery from Europe and the most industrially developed places in the world. In this way, it took more than a hundred years of time and ups and downs to obtain the current industrial results. However, the Northwest, starting from the cat head, is only how long it takes, even if it is hidden, it will not exceed 10 years. What has created the miracle of the Northwest.

Countries, including Britain, gathered together again, and they were definitely ulterior motives. Japan, Britain and Russia stood together, especially Japan and Russia, very close to China. Baotou, a new force, is to a certain extent, at the edge of the northeast, and even for Russia, the northwest from Xinjiang to Qinghai, and under the influence of Baotou, it has a very great impact on the Yellow Russia's strategy. If the northwest proposes to reclaim its territory or even threaten Siberia, it will definitely not be acceptable to Russia.

On the contrary, Germany and the United States, Germany hoped to break Britain's defense and turn China into another South Africa. As for the United States, it was a rising star and the world's largest industrial star, but it started late. Therefore, it has always been open to the door. With this policy, it has got a share of the pie here. The emergence of Baotou has allowed them to see the possibility of market and cooperation.

However, this time, Germany did not receive an invitation, and the United States was unable to speak alone. He could only go with the flow, without support or opposition. He just listened quietly beside him. The four great powers discussed and discussed, but there was no good idea. Baotou was located in the northwest and was too far away from the strength of many countries. The only thing he could contact was probably Russia. However, there was a Mongolian in the middle. Russia built the Central and Eastern Railway Railway without considering Mongolia because the natural conditions of Mongolia were too poor and were not suitable for the development of the large corps.

This meeting was more purposeful compared to the previous meetings. The emergence of bank groups made it easier to resolve many differences. In order to resolve the Northwest in one fell swoop, bank groups can provide part of the funds, or even direct assistance.

French ambassador Peige listened to Dunsowitz's constant words, and across Mongolia, his eyes lit up. He remembered that Russia had always been full of ambitions for China's territory. In the past few decades, Russia has also obtained the most territory from China, with a total of more than one million square kilometers. This number is almost three times the area of ​​France and five times the area of ​​Germany. Mongolia has a vast territory, which is almost one million. He doesn't believe that France is not moved.

After falling into a stalemate, Pei Ge thought for a moment and said directly: "Or what if we support and let Russia send troops to Mongolia. We will admit that Mongolia is Russia's territory!"

French Minister Pei Ge immediately made such an opinion illuminated Juerdian. Territory issues are Russia's fatal holes, and the huge territory can make Russia stronger, but Mongolia is a land composed of Gobi and grasslands, and there is not much improvement.

Jurden and other ambassadors all looked at the Russian minister. The Russian minister hesitated for a moment. For Russia, what France said cannot be easily evaded. After all, Russia has always been a loan from users of France. If France turns against each other, it will be a huge blow to Russia.

In addition, for Mongolia, Russia's strategy is indeed annexation. From the north to attack Mongolia is Russia's strategy. To a certain extent, this road is difficult to walk. In the Far East, Russia is stationed in heavy troops, but most of these forces are placed in the east, such as Vladivostok and the outside northeast, where it is a prosperous place. This area is simply a barren land. If it weren't for some contact between Mongolia and Russia, he would have refused directly.

Without direct opposition, it does not mean that Russia has just lost the Russo-Japanese War. The cost of the war, plus compensation for Japan's military expenditure, is a huge burden for the entire Russia. In this case, if it faces the northwest with industry and a considerable military power and population, it is indeed not what he wants to see. There is no reason for everyone's enemies to let them stand alone, and the Boers can drag Britain into the abyss of war. Russia is not as powerful as Britain, and there is no such capital invested in it.

The solution proposed by the French minister was that the Russian minister did not respond positively and seemed to be in a certain stalemate. French minister Pei Ge glanced at the Russian minister Dunsowitz and calmly spread out the conditions: "If Russia is really willing to send troops to the northwest, we can not only admit that Russia legally occupies Mongolia, but also willing to provide another 2 million francs of military expenditure support!"

Dunsowitz's eyes lit up. Military expenditure, Russia is not short of people, what is lacking is money. By the way, there are weapons. If you support money, it seems to be a great temptation. Unfortunately, 2 million francs are too small.

As if seeing his thoughts and thoughts, Pei Ge continued to suppress the bombshell: "There is still an interest-free loan of 70 million francs!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
