Then Wang Maoru invited Yasuya Uchida and his party to visit the Guard Armor Division at the Guard Headquarters. When the agitated Minjiu tanks passed by in front of the Japanese Prime Minister, Yasuya Uchida felt deeply insulted, showing off his martial power naked. Yasuya Uchida asked to the accompanying military officer, Mataro Fukuda, the deputy chief of staff in charge of intelligence at the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters, "What is the result of the battle between Chinese and Japanese tanks under the same number?"

Mataro Fukuda reminded him with a wry smile: "Japan has no armored troops."

"No armored troops?" Yoshizawa Kenki said depressedly, "How could the great Japanese Empire have no armored troops?"

Mataro Fukuda shook his head and said, "The officers of the General Staff said that armored combat vehicles will make soldiers cowardly think of hiding behind steel, and will also scare war horses, especially logistics and maintenance will greatly increase. The annual expense of a tank is the expense of an ordinary soldier. Due to the government's disarmament, how can the Japanese Army have the money to equip the armored troops?" He also secretly counterattacked Yoshizawa Kenki. It was your politicians who would have lost money in order to attack the military, right? The Japanese Army has become weak, and you still suppress us. Look, it's embarrassing to compare with China now, right?

Kenji Yoshizawa naturally knew what he meant. Wang Maoru invited him to ride a tank. Since the tonnage of the tank was not large, it seemed that the Minjiu tank was just a light tank. However, his shape was quite special and was not the same as the mainstream tanks today. Kenji Yoshizawa asked how this tank tank performed compared to the American m1918?

Wang Maoru laughed and said, "Absolutely."

Kenyoshi Yoshizawa thought Wang Mao was bragging, but after returning, Mataro Fukuda secretly said to him: "When Chinese tanks were in the New York military exhibition in the United States, they compared them with m1918, and they really beat it."

"What?" Yoshizawa Kenji was shocked.

"But you don't have to be nervous." Fukuda Mataro smiled, "M1918 doesn't even like Americans. It has long been eliminated. The opponent of this Chinese tank is the French Renault ft17 tank."

“How is the performance comparison?”

"It is not as fast as Renault, but in terms of firepower and armor, the Minjiu tank still wins completely." Fukuda Mataro sighed, "In tank research and development, the R&D speed of the Great Japanese Imperial Army has been defeated by China."

Yoshizawa Kenji then sighed.

At this time, the Japanese cabinet was impatient. Japanese Regent Hirohito bypassed the cabinet and directly used the excuse of Japanese ambassador Isaru Yoshida as a poor person, suggesting that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Cabinet revoke Yoshida's ambassador's qualification as an ambassador. Without the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was under pressure. He had to make a private decision to revoke Yoshida's ambassador's identity as ambassador to China. After discussions by the Political Association, the son-in-law of the Minister of Letter (i.e., Postal Minister) Inuyasu Shin-san, who had served as the Consul of Hankou and the Consul of Shanghai, was appointed as the ambassador to China and immediately took office.

The candidate for ambassador to China was replaced without the knowledge of the acting prime minister. From this we can see that both the Japanese royal family, the military or the Japanese cabinet have reached the limit of their tolerance for Yasuya Uchida and they can no longer wait.

So under the dual pressure of internal and external pressure, Yasuya Uchida finally signed a territorial redemption treaty with China. The treaty is called the "Sino-Japanese Concession Redemption Treaty". The full-payment treaty has roughly twelve articles, but there are four main contents. The second article is the scope of redemption, including the Chongqing Concession, Suzhou Concession, Hangzhou Concession, Tianjin Concession, Qingdao, Lushun Dalian, Taiwan. The redemption time is the Chinese government redeemed Chongqing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Tianjin Concession on May 1, 1924. The Chinese government redeemed Qingdao on May 1, 1927, Lushun Dalian on May 1, 1938, and Taiwan on May 1, 1943. Article 5 is about the issue of payment of amounts. The Chinese government will pay Japan in all concessions.

30 million silver dollars of medicines, medical equipment, food or daily necessities, and 10 million yuan in Japan's storage fees and construction fees. Article 6 is that the storage fees and construction fees of Qingdao, Lushun Dalian and Taiwan will be discussed again the year before the redemption. Article 7 is that Japan urgently needs medical equipment and equipment. Based on the basic principles of business, the four concessions are temporarily transferred to the German government for custody. The Chinese government will deliver the payment funds from the four concessions to the German government, and the German government will be the intermediary between China and Japan. Article 10 is that the customs of both parties will be open to the other party, and the customs duties will be discussed separately in China and Japan. Article 11 This redemption method is permanent redemption. It is mainly to resolve the grievances between China and Japan.

Since the signing of the Sino-Japanese Concession Redemption Treaty was in the Summer Palace in Beijing, the treaty was also called the Summer Palace Treaty. Of course, the German Ambassador Laurenson acted as an intermediary between China and Japan, adding supreme glory to his political career and a glorious image to the image of the German country that suffered a heavy blow internationally after World War I.

But this made several other countries feel very unhappy. Why was it Germany? It handed it over to the Germans for Mao?

The Japanese government's explanation for this is that this is the requirement of the Chinese government, and the Chinese government's explanation is that there are more than 100,000 Germans working in China, and Germany dare not embezzle the materials handed over to them by the Chinese government. Moreover, because the German weapons are of good quality, I believe that the Germans' character and way of dealing with things as intermediaries must be very serious.

Damn – What is the reason?

The quality of German weapons can extend to the way they deal with people and to the country? Don’t you know how much money Germany needs now?

Regarding the signing of this treaty, Wang Maoruru adhered to the principle that war would have to wait for several years. He did not want China and Japan to take action in the near future. Japan is a madman and a mad dog, but China still needs to develop and must not commit suicide with them. So he is still very satisfied with the content of this negotiation, so he signed the treaty. The "Sino-Japan Concession Redemption Treaty" is too much pressure for anyone in the government, and no one dares to sign it.

Buy it in batches, what if you can’t?

What if Japan is playing tricks? It is conceivable that Japan must make many difficulties, who will bear the consequences? No one dares, except Wang Maoru, who has long wanted to compete with Japan but has been waiting for an opportunity. As long as people who understand politics can see that this treaty reveals signs that China and Japan will surely fight, and this treaty has become the source of the future Sino-Japanese war.

Only Wang Maoru can bear the responsibility for national war.

If a national war is victorious, Wang Maoru will become a famous person for all ages. If a national war is defeated, Wang Maoru will be infamous for thousands of years.

Then Tang Shaoyi dragged his old body to Wang Maoru and said, "Xiusheng, you are still young, why not sign it from here."

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "My father-in-law, this treaty is different from the reclaim treaty with other countries. This is a letter of war. It's better to sign the son-in-law. After all, the trouble caused by the son-in-law will be borne by the son-in-law in the future. You have put a lot of pressure on me, so I will carry it this time."

Tang Shaoyi sighed and said, "After working as the Prime Minister, Xiusheng, I will not continue."

“Why?”

"If I continue to do it, I will become a dictator as others call me." Tang Shaoyi smiled, "And, I am old, and I can't do it anymore, so I should give way to the young man."

The content of the "Sino-Japan Concession Redemption Treaty" was accepted by the Japanese cabinet, the royal family and the military. Their purpose was nothing more than to open up the Chinese market and extort Chinese finance, especially medicines. What Yasuya Uchida obtained in the negotiations was Article 6. The storage fees and construction fees for Qingdao, Lushun Dalian and Taiwan will be discussed again a year before the redemption. In this way, after having to pay the four concessions, relying on the content of Article 6, the Japanese government can ask for a sky-high price. For example, Qingdao, the Japanese government can make the Chinese government unable to afford the price and cannot afford it. After Japan occupied Liaoning and half of Jilin in the Sino-Japanese War, the three countries interfered in the redemption fee was 50 million yen (that is, 30 million taels of silver), which is equivalent to the current 40 million silver dollars in purchasing power. Therefore, as long as the price is high enough, the Chinese government will put itself in an embarrassing situation in this negotiation.

If it can arouse the Chinese government's anger, Japan has reason to send troops to China!

In a sense, Yasaka Uchida took into account the interests of the Japanese government, laid the foundation for the Japanese military, and took the blame himself.

Yes, on the day after Uchida Yasuya signed the Sino-Japanese Concession Redemption Treaty, the cabinet announced the removal of Uchida Yasuya's post as interim Prime Minister, and Count Yamamoto Honbuki, who was born in the Satsuma clan, served as Prime Minister of the Cabinet. Because Yamamoto Honbuki stood on the side of Nishimoto Honbuki in the power struggle between Nishimoto Honbuki and Akito Yama Prefecture, and because he had commanded the Japanese navy in the Russo-Japanese War, he could communicate more conveniently with the military, Yamamoto Honbuki became the new Prime Minister for the second time.

Subsequently, Yamamoto Kobe immediately formed a new Japanese cabinet, with Hikoki Ishien as Minister of Foreign Affairs, Goto Shinhei as Minister of Internal Affairs, Inoue Junnosuke as Minister of Otagita, Tanaka Yoshiichi as Minister of Army, Tobiraki as Minister of Navy, Hirami Kiichiro as Minister of Justice, Okano Keijiro as Minister of Culture, Kenjiro Tian as Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Inui Yuki as Minister of Delivery, Yamanochi as Minister of Railways once served as Minister of Railways.
