Unstable Times Chapter 172 Iron Hat

Please remember the domain name of this site., or search on Baidu:

The Zongshe Party was established in January 1912. At that time, it was a temporary organization composed of members of the Qing Dynasty royal family members on the basis of the "Constitutional Monarchy Maintenance Association" in order to fight against the Xinhai Revolution. The purpose of forming the Zongshe Party was to maintain the rule of the Qing Dynasty and oppose the republic. But who would have thought that just over a month after its establishment, the young emperor declared abdication in the Forbidden City, and the newly established Zongshe Party announced its dissolution and uploaded by the book friends.

Two years later, in 1914, during the second time of Okuma Shigeshinori, with the secret support of the Japanese, the Sectarian Party rekindled again. Its headquarters is located in Tokyo and a branch in Kanto Prefecture. The remaining old and young members continue to plan the "restoring the country" plan and have a long-term dream of "our Qing Dynasty".

With the gradual stability of the domestic political situation and the implementation of constitutional government, the Zongshe Party, which only daydreaming, is powerless to do anything about the overall situation. In the eyes of those who are aware of it, this party organization is just a joke. Even some members of the original Zongshe Party gradually saw the situation clearly, gave up the idea of ​​restoring the country, and then retreated.

But people who hold old ideas still exist, including the former Prince Su of Manchu, Prince Gong Fu Wei, Prince Gong Babuzabu, Fu Shenga and others. These people are all core members of the Zongshe Party. The loyalty of the Qing Dynasty has been plotting and planning with the support of Japanese Langren Kawashima and the boss of the Black Dragon Association, Tooyama Man, but there is no progress at all.

Thinking of this old guy, Fang Zida couldn't help but think of Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary party, the revolutionary party. There are Japanese shadows behind these two completely different organizations. This shows that the Japanese's intentions are at the moment. At the moment, the people of the sen-sen-sen suddenly appeared in the capital, and even Kawashima-ra, the mastermind behind the scenes, ran over here. Their intentions are obvious.

I don't know it's okay. Since I already knew that Fang Zida would certainly not miss the opportunity after Jin Jiu left, he discussed with Wu Peifu and then went to see Song Jiaoren. After a secret conversation at the Prime Minister's Office, Song Jiaoren and Fang Zida visited Yuan Shikai together. It was difficult to reach an agreement.

Three days later, Cao Rulin, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, secretly met with Britain at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ambassadors of France and informed them that the Chinese government would end the war neutrality and the decision to join the Allied. Regarding this decision, French ambassador Kang Ti immediately expressed a warm welcome. Although he had talked with British ambassador Jurden about the role of the Chinese in the war and expressed a disdainful attitude, Kang Ti was not a person without political wisdom. China's joining the Allied Power is a good thing for the countries of the Allied Powers and Europe in full swing. The war has been in full swing. Until now, the losses of both sides have been extremely serious. Especially France, as the front line, is almost unable to support it. Almost all young and middle-aged people in China have enlisted in the army and went to the front line. There was an extremely shortage of labor force across the country. If it weren't for the help of the British and the supplies of Americans, the French would have been defeated by the Allied Powers long ago.

In Kangti's view, China's joining the Allied Power means another step in the growth of the Allied Power. Although the arrogant French look down on the role of the Chinese in the military, with the support of China, a big power with almost endless human power, this is of great benefit to ease the severe battle situation. Moreover, China's joining is a great victory for the Allied Power in terms of international political influence. The loss of China's source of commodity materials as a neutral country will inevitably cause great losses. With one increase and another, the possibility of the Allied Power's final victory will increase a lot.

Compared with French ambassador Kang Ti, although British ambassador Jurdin also expressed his verbal welcome and immediately expressed his gratitude to the Chinese government for choosing the Allies, Jurdin had another idea in his heart. He was not surprised that the Chinese government joined the Allies camp. As a veteran diplomat, Jurdin, who had a keen sense of smell, had noticed the abnormality of the Chinese government not long ago and boldly speculated that today's results were only a little surprised that Jurdin felt that

According to his speculation, the Chinese government should only join the Allies next year, because there is still no victory or defeat in the war in Europe. As a neutral country, China is doing business in this war. In just a few years, China's national strength, which relies on making a fortune in the war, suddenly increased significantly, and its financial situation has also changed from being ineffective in the original state of income to a slight surplus. This is still the premise that the Chinese government vigorously reorganized the National Defense Forces. If it were not for the huge amount of funds in national defense, it would have been so great.

If Jurdian was Yuan Shikai, he would not give up such a good opportunity. Even if he wanted to join the war, he would have to wait for the most appropriate opportunity. Just like the current American cowboys, don't look at them and the British Empire as if they were wearing a pair of pants, but for the sake of business, he refused to join the war. No matter how the British requested, the Americans who watched the fire from the other side of the river always refused lightly on the grounds that neutral countries were inconvenient to interfere in the European war. Although the British government, from the king to the ordinary MP, knew what the Americans were doing, but for the sake of the supply of American supplies, Britain could only pretend to be deaf and dumb. He was very clear about this statement to the United States. Once the time was ripe, the Americans would definitely join the war immediately without hesitation, so as to gain the most abundant benefits in the later stage of the war.

As a Chinese government like the current United States, it can do it in the same way, but why did the Chinese government make such a choice at such an inappropriate time? This question puzzled Juerdian. Although he didn't understand the true intention of the Chinese people for a while, this did not mean that he opposed the actions of the Chinese government. On the contrary, as a British diplomat, Juerdian was still very happy that the Chinese people could stand on their side.

Logically speaking, the Chinese government is preparing to join the Allied Powers, and should inform the four members of the Allied Powers, which are the most powerful in Asia. However, in fact, the Chinese government only met with the ambassadors of Britain and France, but did not meet with Russia at the same time. After the Japanese ambassadors obtained the attitudes of Britain and France, the Chinese government officially announced to the world on the fourth day that they joined the Allied Powers to start a war with the allied Powers, and notified the ambassadors of allied Powers in China.

"What Chinese government declares war on allies? How is this possible?"

In the small courtyard at the innermost small courtyard of a secluded alley in the capital, several people from the Sect and Party Party were gathered together to talk about the matter. A short man in a robe sitting in the middle was Kawashima. When he heard the news that a young man from the Qing Dynasty had just inquired from outside, he suddenly widened his eyes and was shocked.

"Where did this news come from?" Kawashima asked anxiously, grabbing the other party's clothes and holding onto his face.

"It's been circulating all over the streets, it's said that it was just announced." Kawashima Rak was so tight that he couldn't breathe. The second answered quickly.

"Nonsense" Kawashima pushed hard, slapped the table and cursed: "How could China join the Allies, my great Japanese Empire not know in advance? Rumors must be rumors."

The two of them staggered and almost fell to the ground. They finally stood firm on the edge of the table and said with a sad face: "Mr. Kawashima, this is really the news from the Presidential Office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I heard that your Japanese ambassador is now in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you don't believe it, do you want to inquire?"

Looking at the two, it doesn't seem to be fake, and such a big thing cannot be fake, and the fake cannot be fake for a while. Kawashima's face is gloomy and clear, and the muscles in the corners of his mouth are jumping till the corners of his mouth are staring at the bull's eyes.

"Baga"

He slapped hard on the table. Kawashima was so angry that he was smoking from the news. He never expected that the Chinese people suddenly joined the Allies.

In addition to Kawashima Nao, several bannermen present also looked at each other, and the Chinese government suddenly announced that it had joined the Allies and officially started a war with the Allies. This news also made them very slight and sneaked back to the capital one by one. These people were ordered by Prince Su to cooperate with Kawashima Nao inquire about the news, in order to prepare for the "King Army" to carry out a "restoring plan" in the Northeast. Who would have thought that before the news was found, there were rumors that China and the Allies went to war. If this was true, what country would they talk about restoring? The Japanese are members of the Allies, and China is now a member of the Allies. According to the agreements of the Allies, can Japan still rob and help them "restoring the country"? This... what should we do? For a moment, these people felt that the future of restoration was dim. Could it be that the Qing Dynasty really couldn't go back?

Unlike these bannermen who are chess pieces, Kawashima is one of the few spies who know the plans of Japan's top leaders. This time he came here on the surface to help the Sectarian Party "restore the country", but in fact he was commissioned by the Ministry of Army and the upper level of the Black Dragon Association to do military intelligence. Who thought that he had just arrived in Beijing for a few days, and the work he had just started and there was no progress yet, the Chinese government suddenly declared war on the allies under his nose? This caused a big problem to the Japanese government. Kawashima knew very well what consequences would lead to China's actions. Once the upper level of the Japanese suspended the plan to prevent offending members of the Allies, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Kawashima Rakan gritted his sore teeth and cursed a few times, sat back angrily. After being furious, he quickly calmed down. Faced with the current situation, he had to make a choice for a while. The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn. The people of these banners stared at each other, and no one dared to speak, just waiting for Kawashima Rakan to make a decision.

"That two"

"exist"

"What's the news about Jin Jiu?"

Na Er hurriedly said: "Jin Jiu had already agreed to help the day before yesterday, but he said it would take some time."

"Yaoxi" Kawashima Nao smiled and ordered: "Contact Jin Jiu immediately and ask him about his progress."

"Wa"

"Come back" Seeing that the second turn around and was about to leave, Kawashima Rak quickly called him, thought about it and then specifically reminded him: "Tell Jin Jiu that if this matter is done well, it will definitely not be a loss to him in the future. Don't talk about a cabinet minister at that time, even if you are a king with an iron hat, it is possible." To be continued)
