265 flame on

October 27th, the year of 1911.

After the magnificent anti-imperialist movement in Hankou, the negotiations between Li Xiangjun and the British negotiators began today.

This magnificent anti-imperialist movement, which took place in Hankou and spread all over the country, really awakened the people of Hankou and the people of the whole country.

From hot-blooded young students to people of all walks of life, its scale and momentum make people who are numb and enjoy the bullying and oppression of foreign devils. People who are drunk and sleepy woke up so shocked on that day. Seeing the power of unity, I know that the fate of the country must be "standing up and directly solved" by myself.

For half a century, there has been no bold person in power who dares to stand up with the foreign devils, dares to send troops into the concession to protect them, and refuse to take back the concession and do such a thing that has greatly increased the prestige of the Chinese people.

In these days, the people of Hankou have been like crazy. The anger that has been accumulated in the hearts of the Chinese people for a long time has erupted like a volcano. The popularity of foreigners has greatly decreased, and they dare not interfere too much. Li Xiang's tough style made the British consul, who had always been the emperor, helplessly disarm the concession.

"Britain is patient, but if the masses are raging and the military government contributes to the flames, the British's patience will come to an end... This is also a great insult to civilized countries. The whole Europe is furious about it... In fact, I think it's an insult to talk to your Excellency, the murderer!"

The speaker is the envoy of the Beijing diplomatic mission of the great powers to deal with the concession issue, that is, Tillett, the deputy of Juerdian, the British consul-general in the Qing Dynasty. He is a guy in his thirties, tall and thin, with the words arrogance and prejudice written on his face. The hard collar in the dress stood high, sitting on the leather sofa dedicated to the British Consulate in Hankou, with his raised legs constantly changing his left foot to his right foot and his right foot changing his right foot to his left foot. He really felt that he couldn't stand it to the extreme when he talked to such a legendary madman like Li Xiang.

It's snowing all over the streets, and it's very cold. Li Xianggu is wearing a military uniform that looks a little thin. Li wanted to think about Tilit's words. He seemed to laugh at him for not being qualified to negotiate with him. He smiled and said, "I can't help it. At that time, the masses were furious. If I don't immediately send the revolutionary army into the Hankou Concession, I will be angry with the civilians. Otherwise, I won't be able to bear the responsibility for the safety of the British. I'm afraid it will lead to a greater disaster."

I suddenly felt humiliated. I didn't expect that the crazy Li, a barbaric country in Tartan, would make such a move in negotiating! It's so inexplicable. The first time is anger. I think this is an insult to the whole civilized world.

Tirito couldn't bear it but couldn't help it. He sneered, "What China needs most today is to maintain order, have a responsible decision, etc. The military government should come out and show it to the world to prove that you have power and have a decision. It's not like now, creating many international problems... Can such a government be recognized by the civilized world? Impossible!"

Li Xiang smiled contemptuously. He was very clear about the thoughts of the outside mission in the people's alley in the eastern suburbs. In Europe, Britain, France and other leading countries are coping with the rise of Germany. What they are eager to do is to destroy the secret alliance status of the two German and Russian monarchies. Britain, France and other countries hope to bring Russia's attention back to Europe, so in Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The natural contradictions between Germany and Russia will naturally explode. These areas have always been regarded as pan-Germanic regions, and Russia also has too many interests in these areas.

Germany is now fully supporting Russia's expansion into Asia. For Britain and France, they hope that Asia can contain Russian forces. It prompted the two-headed eagle to turn to the west. Besides, it also protects the huge interests of Britain, France and other countries in Asia. Russia has a bear appetite. It's really greedy and huge. So over the years, they have been supporting Xiao Dongyang and Lao Maozi to work against each other.

However, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan and Russia formed a secret alliance to share the interests of the Far East. Originally, Britain hoped that Japan would be a reliable force against Russia's expansion in Asia, but its role became smaller and smaller.

At this time, they united and intervened in the Chinese revolution again as they dealt with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The foreseeable consequence is that Russia took the opportunity to go south from Xinjiang and northeast China, and frantically carried out its Yellow Russia plan to destroy China, while threatening through Xinjiang and Afghanistan. To the foundation of the British Empire, the security of the Indian mainland! Japan's aggressive forces further expanded in the northeast.

These are the last things the British and American powers want to see. Japan and Russia have benefited the most from the intervention of the Hankou Concession, and the British and American powers with interests in the Yangtze River Basin may have to face a concession in the ruins and the Chinese who can't calm their anger.

Although Japan and Russia are in high spirits, it is a pity that the diplomatic missions jointly oppose it and can only wait for negotiations.

The more Li Xiang thought, the more he felt the weakness behind the toughness of the foreign devils. He couldn't stop against the minister, so he said coldly, "In St. Petersburg, Ichiro Honno, the representative of Japan, signed the second Japan-Russia secret treaty with Isivorsky, the representative of Russia. This secret agreement is also divided into two parts: open and secret. Unlike the first treaty, the New Testament deletes the provisions in the old covenant on the recognition of China's independence and territorial integrity and respect for equal opportunity, and adds the contents of "freedom to take all necessary measures" and "further development of special interests" within their respective spheres of influence. There is no doubt that this is to annex and divide the northeast of China. Secondly, the New Testament adds the clause of "mutual consultation" between the two countries and removes the restrictions on "using peaceful methods" in the Old Testament. This means that the two sides have established a military alliance, both against China, the United States and the United Kingdom. In particular, Article 5 of the secret treaty stipulates more blatantly: "When special interests are infringed, States parties shall take measures for the purpose of joint action or mutual assistance in order to safeguard and defend the interests", which shows that the signing of the second secret agreement further strengthens the compromise between Japan and Russia and strengthens the alliance. Exhibition. The conclusion of the two Japan-Russia secret treaty agreements enabled the two Japanese and Russian empires to reach a compromise on the basis of common aggressive interests and form a military alliance.

Li wants to compare this great topic, which is the most taboo of the British and American powers, and the endless talkative event of the Allies. Tiriot was speechless for a moment. The conclusion of the two secret agreements between Japan and Russia also made the world face a new crisis, and finally formed a Russian-Japanese military alliance and became the two major Axis of World War I, which brought great harm to the Allies.

For these reasons, the angry minister Tirite could only negotiate with the madman who dared to ride on the head of the powers on the fastest steam liner without any domestic substantive support from the major powers.

In those years, the world empire was really degenerate... The proud flag of England was torn down by this slanted guy!

The murderer who had already used the most vicious curse in his mind, hoping that he would go to hell. Zheng also crossed his legs, sat opposite him with pride and enthusiasm, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Tillett's face had changed for a long time. Because he couldn't find words to refute Li Xiang's argument, he said, "The British government has ordered the navy commander to protect British interests. If there is any important development in China that endangers the lives and property of the British people, we have to use force. According to Paris news, the French government has ordered the French consuls in China to try their best to maintain the French concession, and no sacrifice will be spared. The Japanese government is still closely observing the development of the current situation, and only decides that when the interests of Japanese people are infringed, it is ready to deal with the cloud..."

Li wanted to wait until the guy finished spitting before he put down the teacup in his hand with a smile.

Li Xiang asked with a smile, "Don't scare me with words. If I dare to drive the army into the concession, I won't be afraid to fight with you. If you are willing to go to war, you will not be sent to negotiate with me... But it's all floating clouds to scold and scold. Solve the problem, or are the specific terms not?

The translator translated his words there, but Tirett's face was getting worse and worse.

Li wants to continue, "The terms of the agreement on the recovery of the British Concession in Hankou are just a few. First, the British authorities will convene the annual taxpayer meeting on January 1, 1992 in accordance with the land charter... British businessmen do not need to panic. The revolutionary army is not a robber. Second, at that time, the British municipal authorities will be dissolved, and administrative matters in the concession area will be handled by the new Chinese municipal authorities. Third, before the Chinese new municipal aircraft is received on January 15, the police work and health matters in the concession shall be handled by the competent Chinese authorities. Third, once the British Ministry of Industry is dissolved, the National Government shall organize a special Chinese municipal organ to manage the concession area in accordance with the existing "special zone" municipal measures. This charter is notified to the British Minister by the Foreign Minister of the Hankou Military Government. Until the method of merging the five concessions of Hankou into a region is decided without consultation, this charter will continue to be valid... Lord Di, look, where can I find the results of the negotiation in this way? Let's just do it like this? Although the concession has returned to China, foreign adults can still continue to make a fortune here..."

Tirett's face turned pale and said word by word, "Sir, we are negotiating, not a place for you to play rogues. My country will never tolerate your frivolous behavior. Your words and deeds have been recorded. I hope that after the British Expeditionary Force arrives in the Far East, you can still be as tough as ever..."

With a touch, it was Li Xiang's heavy teacup, and the tea splashed around and sprinkled on the snow-white middle clothes exposed in his sleeves. Looking at his face again, his face was also as heavy as water, like frost.
