Chapter 104: Is Principal Chang pro-Japanese sect?

On March 15, 1917, the Romanov dynasty, which had ruled Russia for more than 300 years, was finally completely destroyed!

Chang Ruiqing's "prophecy" became a reality. At this time, he was kneeling on a tatami, squinting his eyes and wondering what he was thinking about? This is the Japanese-style living room of a villa next to the Japanese Embassy of Dongjiaomin Lane. The owner of this villa is named Sakashiri Hachiro! Anyone who knows the history of the Republic of China must know this notorious Japanese spy leader! Today, Chang Ruiqing went to Sakashiri Hachiro to visit Sakashiri Hachiro.

This meeting was a line between Chang Ruiqing's "uncle god" Okamura Yasuji. Chang Ruiqing dared not be negligent about this future leader of the Showa warlord of Japan. Not only did he not neglect, but he also expressed his willingness to be pro-Japanese in front of him intentionally or unintentionally... His previous life had a very in-depth understanding of the history of the Republic of China, so he naturally would not be so naive that he wanted to embrace the thighs of the United States and Britain.

Of course, it is not that there is anything wrong with the United Nations League. On the contrary, it is the way of getting along with each other from a distance, and it is the basic principle of international diplomacy. But the problem is that China and Chang Ruiqing are not qualified to join the United Nations League now! Moreover, it is more difficult to get real money and support from these two countries than to reach the sky! On the contrary, Japan and the later Soviet Union, although they were ambitious about China, were willing to bet! As for whether the game of playing the tiger's skin will be eaten by the tiger in the end, it depends on their respective abilities.

Against normalcy Ruiqing was very confident in his tricks of teasing the tiger, so after persuaded Xu Shuzheng to agree to "consider" the use of troops in Outer Mongolia, he volunteered to take on the task of testing Japan and seeking support.

In Chang Ruiqing's plan, seeking Japan to support the Beiyang government in recapturing Outer Mongolia was just the beginning, allowing Japan to obtain a large tract of Russian Far Eastern territory and turn its expansion goal to Russian Siberia was the goal he really wanted to achieve.

In his opinion, it was a bit unreasonable for the Soviet Union to lose its territory in the Far East after three years of Russian civil war! You should know that the Bolsheviks at that time had already hypocritically claimed that they would abolish the unequal treaty between China and Russia and return part of the land that Tsarist Russia plundered from China! Of course, the premise for making such a statement was that Russia's Siberia and the Far East were under the control of the White Army, and China followed the Allies to send troops to interfere in the Russian civil war, and China did not have the strength to take over and defend the territory that the Soviet Union "abandoned" was.

But can Japan be brought in? Is it possible for China to transfer the Far East territory that the Soviet Union "abandoned" to Japan in exchange for Japan's colonies on Chinese territory, such as Kanto, Qingdao, etc.? Of course, by the way, Japan also has to give up its position of interfering in the Russian civil war and supporting Belarus, and instead recognize Lenin's Soviet Russia... Looking at the demeanor of the great mentor in the "Brest Contract" to cede land and pay compensation, I guess he is willing to use more than 100,000 square kilometers of Far East territory to win a breathing opportunity for the new Soviet regime?

If this plan really succeeds, China's international environment will be greatly improved. If Japan wants to launch an incident and seize Manchuria, it may not be realistic, right?

The waiting time passed quickly, and the paper door of the reception room was gently opened. Okamura Yanji and a short Japanese man in loose kimono walked in one after another. Both of them knelt down in front of Chang Ruiqing. Okamura smiled and introduced to Chang Ruiqing: "This is Major General Sakashiri Hachiro, the military officer of the Embassy of the Great Japanese Empire in China. Lord Sakashi, this is Major General Chang Ruiqing, the 31st Mixed Brigade Commander of the 31st Mixed Brigade who has the reputation of rising from the Beiyang. He is the first hero in pacifying Zhang Xun's restoration. He is young and promising, and is amazing."

Sakashiri Hachiro smiled and nodded at Chang Ruiqing: "I have heard of the daimyo of the brigade leader Chang for a long time. When I saw him today, I didn't expect that he was so young. He is really a hero and a young man. Fortunately, he will be lucky."

Chang Ruiqing quickly humbled a few words, and without a few greetings, he directly entered the topic: "Hissan Sakanishi, Mr. Okamura, you must have heard of the Russian Revolution, right? Nicholas II has announced his abdication, Russia is now a republic, and there are two governments!"

After hearing this, the two Japanese devils were stunned. Of course, they already knew the news of the Tsar's abdication. The domestic senior officials were probably holding a meeting overnight to discuss countermeasures? There was no instruction at the moment. Unexpectedly, China, which has always been insensitive to the international situation, has sent people to discuss this matter with the Japanese side! Could it be that the Chinese senior officials have been paying attention to changes in Russia? What do they want to do? Are they going to take the opportunity to regain some rights and territories?

Sakashiri Hachiro looked at Okamura Yanji, and Okamura smiled and said to Chang Ruiqing: "The changes in Russia are coming very suddenly, and the situation is not clear. I believe that all countries are waiting and watching..."

This answer was also expected by Chang Ruiqing. In history, Japanese imperialism's reaction in the Soviet-Russian civil war can only be described as slow and stupid. Of course, they did not have no ambitions for Russia's eastern territory. In fact, Japan's military intervention in the Russian civil war was quite large. However, they only acted as cannon fodder for Britain and the United States. After working for several years, they finally got nothing and retreated their troops to return to China in shame. As a result, they were all focused on the aggression. In this time and space, Chang Ruiqing certainly did not want Japanese imperialism to repeat the same mistakes!

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly at Sakanishi and Okamura: "Since the Russo-Japanese War, Russia has been the common enemy of China and Japan, and it is also the world's leading power. This Russian internal chaos is an opportunity for Japan to open up its territory and weaken the biggest threat of Russia... Once the two Russian governments fight, their eastern territory will not be taken into account, and it will become a 'borderless land', which is a good opportunity for Japan to seize! They are both quite fertile and fertile territory, not at all under our Manchuria." Speaking of this, he emphasized his tone: "Old Duan Zhi and Xu Zhenggong both hope that Japan will occupy that 'borderless land', so as to become a favorable ally of China's future confrontation with Russia! This is extremely beneficial to both of us!"

Sakasai Hachiro and Okamura Yiji understood a little. The Chinese wanted to play the old trick of "using barbarians to control barbarians" and wanted the Japanese forces to enter the current territory of the Russian Far East, so that Japan and Russia would be hostile to each other so that China could reap profits! The plan was good, but it was a little earlier...... The Russian domestic chaos just started, and it was still a bit difficult to say whether it could become a civil war in the end! Thinking of this, Sakasai Hachiro smiled faintly: "We already know what you mean, but this matter is very important, and it is not something that diplomats of this level can decide."

Chang Ruiqing nodded with a smile: "I understand that the current internal chaos in Russia has just begun, and it is not certain whether it will turn into chaos in the future! Today, I am visiting me, just want to convey to you the position of Mr. Duan Zhi and Mr. Xu Zheng on the Russian Far East territory. In addition, I also want to seek support and understanding from your country on the issue of the withdrawal of Outer Mongolia... Of course, the development of Outer Mongolia in the future will also rely on the power of your country."

"Outer Mongolia is withdrawn?" Sakasai Hachiro was stunned and then realized that this was probably the condition for China to support Japan invading Russia's Far East? But isn't this a good opportunity for Japanese forces to infiltrate Outer Mongolia? He leaned forward and showed an interesting smile on his face: "When will your country take action? What measures will it take to recover Outer Mongolia?"

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly: "Outer Mongolia is nominally Chinese territory after all, and it is legitimate to drive in our army. As long as your country is willing to support us, we can enter at any time. As for the means, of course we have to use force!"
