In the room, Juerdian and Feige were just chatting casually. As ministers, China is such a big country, and there are many things to consider every day. The beautiful night here is intoxicating. Each of them took a glass of red wine. It was purely chatting and relaxing. ~,

There is no such leisure time. If you relax a little, you will naturally talk about the current situation. Now that the world is divided, they are also worried about the outbreak of war, because they were depressed to find that as long as the war broke out, the northwest might soon be eliminated and the Beiyang, unifying China.

A unified China is a long-standing expectation for Britain. A huge population can only play its greatest role in a peaceful country. However, this unified person is in the northwest, and it is worth considering that it is not Yuan Shikai. The strong Northwest rejects the investment and requirements of any great powers. Although it has not clearly announced that it will recover the concessions and spheres of influence, it is undoubtedly clear for Mongolia and Russia. As long as his power enters the coastal areas, those concessions will not exist. When thinking about this, both envoys have a headache, especially Feige. The French have almost lost all their shorts in this European war. If the Shanghai Concession and other concessions in China do not have it, it will be even worse.

There was a knock on the door outside the door. Juerdian apologized to Feige and opened the door. Juerdian's secretary stood at the door with a serious face. Juerdian was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, the secretary quietly said a few words in his ear. Juerdian, who had a relaxed face, turned serious after hearing it.

Everyone who can be an ambassador to the outside world is a human being. It is obvious that the secretary came to Zhu Erdian to find Zhu Erdian. Seeing the other party whispering, he was not convenient to continue listening and was ready to say goodbye. However, he was left by Zhu Erdian. When he was confused, Zhu Erdian said slightly: "It has something to do with you. I asked someone to call Han Cimin, wait!"

When he heard that the American minister was coming, Feige understood a little. It seemed that it was still related to the Northwest. Then Jurden's secretary called the American minister and the three of them discussed the matters mentioned by the secretary.

This matter is very simple. The plenary meeting of the Northwest this time was quite powerful, and by the way, it also made Japan deeply wary. Japan itself did not take the Northwest into consideration, but the battle situation in Qingdao gave them a blow, which took them many years. The accumulated joint fleet was wiped out with the East China Sea. The two divisions were surrounded, and the remaining divisions had already set out. Basically, Japan wanted to fight with all its strength, but the information obtained from Britain, France and the United States, as well as other channels, the strength revealed by the Northwest was just the tip of the iceberg.

Even if you know that the other side is strong, Japan is already in a difficult situation to ride a tiger. Before the battle started in Shandong, more than 15 divisions have entered China and gathered near Tianjin. Even if you know that there is a tiger in the mountain, you cannot retreat without fighting. This will have a huge blow to Japan's morale and national destiny. This is also the fundamental reason why the Japanese have arrived for so long and have not started the war. Japan is looking for ways to increase combat effectiveness. Before the war begins, no one dares to be sure whether this battle is a victory or a failure. This is not the first time Japan has challenged a strong country. As long as the method is right, it may be possible to fight again with a snake swallowing elephant. This requires necessary means.

The Northwest refused the Japanese media and diplomats to enter Baotou. Japan protested on the surface and looked extremely angry, but in fact, it had been connected through private channels. Now it had a certain intention. Only then did it notify the UK, hoping to get help from the UK, and just passed the news to Juerdian. Feige was there, and he also called the American minister over.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Japanese proposed an idea, that is, to unite Russia, Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party to jointly deal with the northwest, which is equivalent to connecting with all the forces bordering the northwest and jointly attacking the northwest.

This is also a good idea. Just like the Balkan Alliance and Turkey, putting aside the alliance, no country is necessarily a match for Turkey. However, if they join forces, they will fight Turkey and run away in a hurry, and almost destroyed their country.

The progress reported by the Japanese was almost in touch with the Revolutionary Party. Most of the top leaders of the Revolutionary Party tended to attack the Northwest with the help of Japan's power in order to obtain the huge industrial foundation and wealth of the Northwest. Of course, they have not been arrogant enough to independently attack the Northwest Fudi. The cities and nodes in the northwest in the south are what they are willing to see. The huge industries and unguarded cities inside are at most one or two regiments of defenders. In their opinion, there is nothing, as long as they are defeated, it will be huge wealth.

Now, if Japan can pull one into the water, it will pull one into the water. Anyway, it is a blank check, and it will be randomly issued. Anyway, the south is the territory of the revolutionary party, and the Japanese cannot get it in. The revolutionary party has millions of troops, and may not be the opponent of the same number of Northwest Army, but if it is one third, one quarter, or even one tenth, it will always be able to deal with it. This is equivalent to reducing Japan's burden to a certain extent.

Under this premise, the rest should be deceived as much as possible. What is more attractive than interests? What's more, the wealth in the northwest is well known. Perhaps the revolutionary party cannot do it when entering the northwest Fudi, but it can be captured by the node cities, railways, and even some factories, warehouses, and ports in the northwest in the south. These are OK. These are on the Japanese list. Anyway, as long as the revolutionary party can think of or cannot think of, they will take them out and use real funds to express them. This makes the revolutionary party very happy. It turns out that it is just a fancy to those node cities.

The wealth of Japan, however, is completely different from their calculation method, and is of greater value. In addition to this, there are more, railways, warehousing ports, and even a large number of successful goods. These Japan promise to be recycled at a reasonable price. In just a dozen ports, it may be as high as 1 billion Northwest yuan. This money is enough to allow the Kuomintang to bear more than 5 years of military expenditure. This is an unavoidable temptation. The revolutionary party is not short of money, but after solving the northwest, isn’t there still Beiyang? The top leaders of the revolutionary party have basically begun to dream of unifying China.

After the Revolutionary Party, it was Beiyang. Japan thought that relying on its previous influence to convince Beiyang would not be a problem, but after a little contact, it was found that this was not the case. This tentative contact did not develop well in Beiyang. Among the senior officers, except Xu Shichang was more recognized, no one else was spit. It was just that some commanders and cooperatives expressed some kindness under their large amount of money, but the number was less than 30% of Beiyang. Some veteran and influential senior officers were still quite cautious.

These did not make the Japanese alert. They were used to being arrogant and felt that these were enough. In Japan's view, the contradiction between the northwest and the Beiyang was irreconcilable. With such a big Buddha standing on top of their heads, who would feel comfortable? Only by knocking down such a big Buddha, will they be free and free, so they do not spit out for more benefits. After having the Revolutionary Party, some Beiyang's support has made him stand up straight and dared to speak to Britain.

In Japan's view, the Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party are at best just local tyrants, allowing him to integrate into China and find opportunities to defeat the Northwest. The real help should be in Russia. The title of European road roller is still useful. The whole world can mobilize tens of millions of troops, namely four or five countries. The simplest of them should be Russia, which has won over Russia, but tens of millions of troops and powerful military forces. This force, coupled with Japan, the Beiyang and the Revolutionary Party, even if the northwest is strong, it will be overwhelming and everyone will push it...

The Japanese did not arrive in Baotou, and with the help of the gathering of diplomatic envoys, they passed this matter to Juerdian through some means. This was also the reason why the secretary just said secretly. When the situation in Europe was complicated, Russia drew troops to participate in the Eastern war and jointly siege the northwest. This requires the British to agree. Russia, no matter how much Russia says, is also a member of the Allies, and Britain has a huge influence on him.

Jurden was a little moved. The first feeling when he heard this proposal was that he wanted to be determined. Intuition told him that this was not appropriate. Russia was also an important force in eastern Europe, responsible for the important role of restraining Germany, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and even suppressing Turkey. If the army was mobilized to the Far East, would it affect the situation in Europe?

However, if you think about it carefully, you can't refuse. Not to mention the European war situation, Russia's role was almost tiny and could not effectively restrain Germany. It allowed Germany to mobilize its army openly and easily suppress Britain and France on the Western Front. Facing Germany, the Russian army was like paper, and its role was very weak. Instead of doing this, it would be better to let it go to the east and weaken the northwest.

The northwest is getting stronger and stronger, and more or less, they are still very vigilant. If they are not suppressed in time, what should they do if China really has the strength of the United States? The conflicts between the United States and the United Kingdom can be reconciled, but how should the United Kingdom and China be reconciled?

The relationship between the Northwest and Germany is too close. It can be said that the strength of the entire Germany can only have such great influence and power with the support of the Northwest. If the United States joins the Allies in the future, the power of the Allies can overwhelm the Allies. If the Northwest joins, it will be a different look. If it weakens it, it will be equivalent to reducing instability factors and ensuring the dominance of the Allies system after defeating the Allies.

It’s nothing to rise to an United States, that’s an accident. If China rises another, it will be painful, and even the center of gravity of the world will shift, which is unacceptable to the UK. (To be continued.)
