Chapter 616 The Second Far East Crisis
In the author group, my friend wrote an entertainment novel Rebirth Entertainment Tycoon. According to the response in the group, he is a very thoughtful new author. Please help me collect it! It’s just from ‘Original Reading--’, I can’t push it!
On June 21, Xi'an officially announced the "Russia-Mongolian Agreement" that it spyed. As soon as the agreement was launched, large-scale student strikes occurred in Shanghai, Tianjin, Qingdao, Nanjing, Wuhan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an and other places, and anti-Russia marchs were held. In the media and major newspapers, even the printing of matters related to the Outer Mongolia crisis.
The Outer Mongolia crisis began in 1911. At that time, the feudal upper class of Outer Mongolia, led by Zhebuzundanba, took advantage of the time when the revolution was breaking out in southern China, and announced the "**" under the instigation of Tsarist Russia, establishing the "Great Mongolian Government", expelled the Qing government's ministers in Kulun, and signed an illegal "Kulun Treaty" with Tsarist Russia, and openly split Chinese territory. Later, after the outbreak of Outer Mongolia invasion of Inner Mongolia and the Northeast, the Yuan Shikai government sent troops to defeat the Outer Mongolia army, which not only weakened Inner Mongolia and Northeast, but also pushed the troops into Outer Mongolia for a time.
The victory of the Republic of China greatly alarmed the top leaders of Outer Mongolia and also shocked Russia. Yuan Shikai took the opportunity to send troops to take back Outer Mongolia, so he threatened with force. In the end, Outer Mongolia surrendered to recognize China's status as the sovereign state in exchange for the withdrawal of the Yuan Shikai government and acquiesced to Outer Mongolia. In the following years, both the transitional government under the leadership of Li Han and the subsequent new elected government chose to temporarily ignore the issue of Outer Mongolia. Because the new Chinese regime was indeed unable to challenge Russia, the old-fashioned power country with the greatest potential in Europe.
Most citizens can accept the government's previous practice of ignoring the Outer Mongolia issue. Even some radical students can understand the helplessness of the government's choice to give in and temporarily ignore the Outer Mongolia issue when the country's strength is worse than others.
However, China did choose to temporarily ignore it because of its lack of national strength, but it does not mean that the new government can sit idly by Russia's provocation and Outer Mongolia's provocation. It is the second largest territory in the world and one of the oldest countries in the world. Since ancient times, the Chinese people have regarded themselves as descendants of gods and emperors. How can they accept such provocation?
This is also related to the growth of national strength in recent years and the Sino-Japanese conflict in 2014, and China won a great victory. In the eyes of the people, they can defeat Japan in 1944. It is unreasonable that after the country becomes stronger, they must be afraid of a powerful country that has been involved in too much energy by the European war.
Of course, these are just the thoughts of the citizens. Whether it is the merchant class or the politicians, many people are opposed to the war between China and Russia.
However, their will will not affect the determination of the current top government leaders in China. The current government led by the young president is affectionately called by the people the most powerful top government leaders in modern times, and they have not let down the people's patriotism and the responsibility of defending sovereignty.
Under the instruction of Li Han, the Inner Mongolia Federation of Princes and Dukes issued a telegram to deny the "Russia-Mongolian Agreement" at home and abroad. It also stated: "Since the founding of the Republic of China, all the six alliances in Inner Mongolia and the all alliances in Kobudo, Wulianghai, Qinghai, and Xinjiang have all agreed to the republic and cooperated with the people of the five ethnic groups to build a new country. However, the living Buddha of Kulun, Outer Mongolia, colluded with the Tushye tribe, and the three princes and princes in the Chechen Khan tribe, claiming to be ** and the pseudo-government has been recognized by the entire Mongolian government. The Kulun pseudo-government has recently made a good agreement with Russia and is very surprised to call it Mongolian. This association was organized by the princes and princes of the inner and outer Mongolian alliances. The members of this association each represent each alliance, and the people of the banner and land are the resources, and the Kulun government has not recognized the qualification to represent Mongolia. If the pseudo-government negotiates with foreign countries, no matter what event or treaty is, it shall be invalid."
This association was originally an organization that opposed the abdication of the Qing emperor and opposed the realization of republic in the late Qing Dynasty. However, after Yuan Shikai took over the Beijing regime, he used the Outer Mongolian invasion to settle accounts after the autumn, and bloody suppressed a large number of princes and flag owners who attempted to restore or resist. On the other hand, he tried every means to appease the upper Mongolian people who were willing to cooperate with the Beiyang government. It has to be admitted that Yuan Shikai left a good fortune for Li Han. After Li Han took over the national regime, he pushed the policy of carrots and sticks to the limit, and on the one hand, he divided the borders of Inner Mongolia and hoarded heavy troops in Rehe and Chahar provinces. Once the princes and princes in Inner Mongolia, what are the trends of the banner owners?
Tens of thousands of troops rushed to quell the rebellion. While continuing the Yuan Shikai era, these people finally obeyed the orders. Some even opened large ranches and farms and turned into capitalists... According to Li Han's theory, as long as you support the new government politically and give up the old feudal influence, I can make you economically affordable. A few disobedient elements, such as Gong Wang, Wutai, etc., would use thunder to clean them. By 15 years, he had completely controlled the situation in Inner Mongolia and completely brought this huge agricultural and herdsmanship that could produce millions of heads each year into the control of the Republic of China government.
After the agreement was made public, with the addition of the "Voice of the People" and other media, the public opinion condemned the acts of the pseudo-government in the collusion between Tsarist Russia. Some radical newspapers asked the government to immediately raise the most serious protests and declared that if the agreement was not abolished, they would meet with each other by force.
On June 25, the Presidential Office and the Ministry of Commerce held a press conference in Xi'an, announcing that from now on, a 1,000-fold punishment tariff will be imposed on all goods imported by Russia, prohibiting any Chinese company and factory from exporting goods to Russia, and effectively cooperate with the government to achieve zero exports to Russia. Any factory and enterprise head who exports to Russia in violation of the ban will be sentenced to the highest standard "treason".
As soon as this order was issued, the atmosphere of war between China and Russia suddenly became strong. The Russian ambassador was flatly rejected. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered the Chinese ambassador to Russia to represent China. The government protested Russia's interference in China's internal affairs on the matter of the Kulun authorities' private conclusion of the "Agreement" with Russia. The Chinese government warned the Russian ambassador to China and filed a final protest to the Russian government: "Mongolia is Chinese territory. Although the local area is not stable, there is no formal declaration of the qualification to sign a contract with foreign countries. No matter what clauses your country and Mongolia have set, the Chinese government will not recognize it."
On June 28, after the State Council failed to negotiate with Russia, the Presidential Office issued a stricter ban, strictly prohibiting rubles and any Russian capital or banks with Russian capital to engage in commercial activities in China. This caused 17 Russian banks, including China-Russia Dosheng Bank, to be run in China, and were forced to announce temporary suspension of business. In just one week, Russia's bank network that had been hard-working in China for half a century was immediately damaged, and at least more than 200 million rubles of European capital and more than 40 million bank notes issued by Russia in China were forced to be invalidated.
The ban affected all Russian enterprises, banks, mines and all Russian industries in China a week later. France, Belgium and other national forces protested against China. The government of Russia and the Chinese side blocked Russian capital in a comprehensive manner and advised them to ask for compensation from Russia. China will not accept any claims or unreasonable demands.
On June 30, the Russian government submitted a protest to China, and the Tsar threatened China to immediately restore all Russian industries in China and pay a huge compensation of up to 50 million yuan, otherwise Russia would give China a good look. After the Russian Duke made his country's attitude, he left a bold statement in the Chinese Foreign Ministry, 'The great Russia is not Japan, nor is it the elephant that China can provoke!'
After his speech was exposed in the media, China was more like a basin of oil poured into a basin of oil, burning even more violently. The public opinion was even stronger, and many groups and celebrities called the central government to protest. Under this pressure, General Secretary Lu of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ordered Liu Jingren, Minister to represent China. The government once again issued a serious warning to the Russian government, saying: "This time the Russian government has made a secret treaty with Outer Mongolia and informed our government in advance that this treaty is not only inconsistent with the Treaty of Ili signed by China and Russia in 1881, but also inconsistent with the strict adherence of neutrality agreements among all countries. If this treaty is established, what is the difference between Mongolia and the separation from the Republic of China and Russia? The Chinese government will never recognize this agreement. ‰ Prime Minister told Your Majesty to cancel this agreement quickly, otherwise the Sino-Russian diplomatic relations may break, and East Asia peace will also be destroyed."
Russian Prime Minister Yulievich met him and acted very arrogant during the talks. He looked at Liu Jingren contemptuously and said unreasonably: "The treaty between our country and Mongolia has been established, and there is no reason to cancel it! However, your country provoked the majesty of our Russian Empire. If the ban is not lifted immediately and compensated, he will definitely be punished by our country!"
Liu Jingren argued with the Russian Prime Minister for a long time, but had no result. He returned home in disappointment. He felt that he had never completed the tasks assigned by the country on the Outer Mongolia issue. He felt sorry for the trust of the motherland and the people. In his ashamed, he submitted his resignation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In his letter, he said: "Shi Xi was incompetent, and failed to complete the responsibilities entrusted by the government in negotiations with Russia. The superiors could not protect the country's territory, and the subordinates could not protect the country's integrity without any humiliation. He felt ashamed of the trust of the 40 million people, and could only give way to the virtuous."
On July 2, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs approved the decision to resign from the Minister to Russia, Liu Jingren, and reappointed him as a special envoy of China to visit Viana and Berlin.
For a time, news that Russia forced the resignation of the Chinese ambassador to Russia and that China would join the allies spread throughout the streets and alleys. Anyone with patriotism was angry, and anyone who cared about the situation in the Far East was worried about it.
Britain and France have already sensed that the situation in the Far East is moving in a direction they cannot imagine, and the subsequent development is just as they imagined.
On July 4, a group of Russian Far East troops crossed the Sino-Russian border and entered Heilongjiang. After the violence of robbing a border village and massacred more than 20 households in the village was reported, the conflict between China and Russia due to Outer Mongolia had already developed in an uncontrollable direction.
On the second day, the Presidential Office approved the Army's Ministry of Defense to issue the 9th National Defense Order of 2016, ordering the Northeast Military Region to enter a state of war. China then reported to the ministers of the six countries in China, asking the six countries to prohibit their citizens from going to Outer Mongolia and the Northeast for business and tourism, otherwise all casualties and injuries will be lost. The government is not responsible.
After the notes, everyone understood that China and Russia had already reached the brink of war and war was about to break out.
On July 6, China seemed to have an agreement between China and Japan at the end of 2014 to increase the Northeast garrison to nearly 280,000 troops from 15 divisions. The Army Department issued a clear telegram, saying that once China and Russia go to war, the National Defense Forces will allow crossing the current China-Russia border and entering Russia for combat.
On July 7, after decades after abolishing the "Governor of East and West Siberia", Russia restored the title of "Governor of East and West Siberia" and announced the appointment of "Lieutenant General of the Russian Army Petviev" as the new "Governor of East and West Siberia". Lieutenant General Peterviev was once the position of Governor of the Russian Grassland Region and was a tough expansionist who supremely Belarus. While restoring the "Governor of East and West Siberia", Russia openly slogans to teach the Chinese a lesson, announcing that it would mobilize ten infantry divisions from the Eastern Front and the Grassland Governor of the Governor of the Grassland Region to Asia through the Siberian Railway.
After the news reached China, even Premier Tang Shaoyi gave up persuading the Russians to make concessions.
After Li Han immediately received that Russia would transport troops to the Far East, he held an emergency cabinet meeting that night, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or forgot about it. He did not invite Premier Tang Shaoyi of the State Council for this meeting.
"Mongolia has changed drastically. The Russians would rather abandon the friendship between China and Russia in recent years, and their intention is to create a fait accompli. It is unbearable to openly divide our country's territory. What do you think should be done at the moment?"
"The President, the current plan is to make military preparations, and to continue negotiating with Russia, demanding the cancellation of this agreement." Tang Hualong spoke first.
"Using political means to solve the Mongolian issue has always been a proposal from Prime Minister Tang, but you can see what the situation is now. The Russians most despise our Republic of China. All signs show that this country cannot tolerate any loss in our country!" The second response was the Navy Chief Tang Xingming. Although the strength of the Navy has been enhanced after accepting several warships ordered from the United States in the past two years, compared with the development of the army, his plan to purchase ships several times to the president in the past two years has been rejected. He was a little irritated and sensitively noticed that the new president was a little dissatisfied with his selfishness. So at such meetings, he was usually the first to stand on President Li's side.
"The President, according to the Russian character, is not willing to spit out what he swallows. This negotiation is difficult..." said Zhou Xuexi, the Chief Financial Officer. "Without international support, this matter may be..."
Progressive Party leader Liang Qichao, Education Chief Cai Yuanpei, and Agriculture Minister Lin Sen were the three most silent at the meeting. In recent times, everyone has seen the intensification of the conflict between the president and the prime minister. Li Han has revealed the intention of replacing the prime minister more than once from his actions. Many people in the Progressive Party and the Kuomintang support the "Prime Minister's Cabinet System". They can be said to be sharing honor and disgrace with Tang Shaoyi. Now Tang Shaoyi has not even received invitations and notices for such meetings, which shows that he, the Premier of the State Council, has been abandoned by President Li.
Horror is not that I can’t find a suitable candidate for now. In addition, the matter in Outer Mongolia is so busy that the surname in front of the Prime Minister is probably supposed to have changed long ago.
Under such circumstances, the three had to remain silent. At this time, China and Russia had already reached the brink of war due to the conflict between Outer Mongolia. A literati prime minister could still control the situation during peacetime, but a slight negligence in going to war with Russia may hurt the foundation of the country. However, an iron-fisted president like the new president can control it.
Neither Liang Qichao nor Cai Yuanpei nor Lin Sen are the kind of people who sit idly by and watch the country be occupied and don't care about it. Although they have political differences with the president, they have no differences on patriotism. If the president can really manage the country properly and take back the country, China will not create a better international environment, so they don't mind more time of silence.
"Everyone, this time we have gathered everyone here is two purposes, not to let everyone express their dissatisfaction with Russia. First, the cabinet departments will prepare to cooperate with the National Defense Forces to enter a wartime state in the next six months or longer. my country has reached an agreement with the United States and Germany and Austria in China. my country will not proactively declare war on Russia and will not join the allies. The war will only remain between my country and Russia. The United States will purchase 60 million US dollars of water conservancy construction government bonds from my country within four months. The German and Austria in China are willing to combine 2.7 million pounds of silver dollars and gold reserved in the bank to provide our country with a free loan of ♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂♂�
In the years since his reign, Li Han's temperament has gradually taken shape. Many times, he personally held the meetings. He said that one thing is one, and no one can tolerate others' refutation. To put it bluntly, it is an independent dictator. But now he has to do this, because at the beginning of the new construction of the Republic of China, a slight fluctuation may sink China's rapid development ship, and he has to do it.
"The second is to discuss Mongolia matters. The Mongolian pseudo-government dares to sign a treaty with the Tsarist Russian government, which will lose power and humiliate the country and not punish it." He glanced at everyone, "Mongolia's territory has been the territory of China since ancient times. Modern weakness has given those magistrates an opportunity to take advantage of. Later, after the situation in the Republic of China gradually stabilized, one should consider that the situation in our country was stable, and the other should be considered that the Russians took the opportunity to intervene. The government has always emphasized the use of political means to resolve the problem. Unexpectedly, some people have become more and more dissatisfied."
Li Han said it was a discussion, but in fact it was not the case at all. He had already decided on the policy. When discussing such a thing with various cabinet departments, the only answer was "fight!". The difference lies in how to fight?
Cai E said passionately: "When I was studying in Japan in my early years, the Russians occupied the three northeastern provinces of our country. At that time, some of them were not talented and they also organized a volunteer team among patriotic youth to fight against Russia. In my opinion, Russia has always been salivating against our Chinese territory, and everyone knows the ambitions of wolves. If you lose Outer Mongolia today, you will come to Xinjiang, **, Inner Mongolia, and the three northeastern provinces... Such an endless situation, our China will be eaten up. In the past, the Qing Dynasty was in a weak military and its national power was dark and weak, so we had no choice but to deal with it. Today, our army is powerful,
The whole country works hard to govern, and its strength is far stronger than the Qing Dynasty. If it doesn’t fight, it will probably lose its reputation. The president always calls for patriotism and love for the people, Songpo admires the most. At present, this Mongolian-large place is more than 3 million square kilometers of fertile land. If it falls into the mouth of a jackal, he will not say anything about his life and death. In the future, he will go to the underworld and may win. He will poke my backbone in the history books and scold me for the 400,000 and 60 million contemporary Chinese citizens. There is no man of blood! Songpo is unwilling to bear such a shame, so he asks to send troops to recover Outer Mongolia!"
"Since ancient times, we have gained the power, but we have lost the power, but few support. Russia has occupied our territory and supported the puppet regime. There is nothing that conforms to international morality. The reason is with me, and we should not show weakness to them and fight." Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang is the most aggrieved one in the past month. "We send troops to Mongolia and recover our hometown, which is legitimate. We will definitely get the support of international justice. Although morality cannot replace military strength, we can unite the vast army and civilians with this call. At the beginning of the revolution, we also rely on this spirit and morality to call the people and achieve success. I suggest that the general. I might as well imitate the revolutionary period again and issue a manifesto to the whole country, demanding that money be paid and strong, and all patriotic young people should join the army actively... The hearts of the people across the country will be greatly encouraged!"
Everyone talked and none of them expressed their weakness. They all said they were fighting. At most, they would require the central government to negotiate, and they would fight again if they failed to negotiate.
"It is of great importance. Please express your opinion and agree to raise your hand on the battlefield."
This is pure nonsense. You, President Li, have clearly shown that the war is about to begin. This meeting is just a formality.
Sure enough, no one was willing to refute his face now, and everyone raised their hands together, and none of them expressed their objections.
Li Han nodded with relief, "Everyone has a patriotic heart. What's even more rare is that none of us panic about the Russian blackmail. Okay, well, with such a tough cabinet, why worry about not standing tall in the world's power again? For our backbone and dignity, and for our country's fertile land of millions of square kilometers, please let Chief of Staff Jiang explain the specific strategic arrangements."
