Seeing Yuan Datou wavering, Shen Hao said again:"Germany will definitely lose in this European war. This is an important opportunity for us to strive for international status. We must not miss it."

Yuan Datou thought for a while and said:"Okay, then let's fight , took the opportunity to take back Qingdao, but Shen Hao made an appointment with Zhu Erdian, the minister of the Eagle Kingdom."

Originally, Shen Hao's idea was to negotiate directly with the Germans, and fight if they refused. Anyway, he was afraid of a hair.

But Yuan Datou didn't dare and still wanted to unite with the people of Eagle Country.

Shen Hao nodded in agreement and went directly to Zhu Erdian, the minister of Eagle Kingdom, without any nonsense.

"Minister Zhu Erdian and President Yuan proposed joining the Allied Powers.

Together they formed a Sino-British coalition to jointly attack the German Far East Expeditionary Force stationed in Qingdao. Zhu Erdian , the minister of the Eagle Kingdom, smiled, smoked a cigar and said calmly:"General Shen, we in the Eagle Kingdom can handle the fight against the Germans. We don't need your help."

With you, I feel like I'm holding back."

Hearing this, Shen Hao felt angry, but he suppressed it. He sneered in his heart, I'm afraid you won't be able to laugh after the first battle.

The first battle is also the source of the decline of Let the Sun Never Set.

Walking Look.

When Shen Hao told Yuan Datou about the rejection by Zhu Erdian, the Eagle Minister, Yuan Datou did not give up. He bypassed Zhu Erdian and directly proposed to the British government in the form of a government proclamation.

Beiyang joined the Allied Powers, mainly Britain and France. Troops can be sent to fight against Germany and Austria.

When the news reached the Eagle Country Congress, everyone burst into laughter

"807 Yuan Datou really overestimates his capabilities. A small agricultural civilization wants to help the empire on which the sun never sets."

"Hahaha, they don’t even have a decent navy, they actually want to form an alliance with us, they don’t deserve it"

"Like a clown, I think this war will be over in a few months"

"Seconded.

It can be said that all the British Parliament voted to reject it.

All British MPs believed that this battle would not last long and did not require the support of an agricultural country. It would be a joke.

The First World War broke out and the cloud of global war shrouded On the heads of all human beings; at the same time, the consuls of various countries began to be busy.

But the news had not yet spread back to the country, so Yuan Datou convened a meeting in the general's mansion.

Jiluo of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Shen Hao, the patrol envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Guizhou Long Jiguang, Hubei Duan Zhigui, Hunan Tang Xiangming, Shanxi Yan Xishan.

Vice President Li Yuanhong, General Secretary Duan Qirui, Secretary of State Xu Shichang and the heads of various ministries.

This meeting was chaired by Liang Shiyi, the then Secretary-General of the President and known as the"Second President".

After Liang Shiyi looked around, he said directly:"This time we mainly discuss three issues."

"Will the Beiyang government participate in this world war or continue to remain neutral?"

"If we in Beiyang join the war, will we join the Entente or the Central Powers?"

"After entering the war, should we declare war on Germany?"

"Everyone talks about their opinions."

Everyone was silent.

At this time, Tang Ji detoured:"I think we should remain neutral and not join the war. After all, it is not good for us."

"I second the proposal," Tang Xiangming said;

"I think we should fight"

"It's best to let them bite dogs, let's watch the fire from the other side."

Seeing everyone talking, Duan Zhigui said to Shen Hao:"Brother Shen, do you think it's war or neutrality?"

"Without a war, Germany is willing to give us Qingdao, but I'm afraid it may not be possible," Shen Hao said;

"Why?"Duan Zhigui said doubtfully;

"They are ambitious and have long coveted our territory. They will definitely stop it."

Hearing this, Duan Zhigui did not believe it.

When all parties had different opinions and expressed their opinions, Yuan Datou stretched out his hand, and the busy hall became quiet.

Yuan Datou looked at Xiang Shen Hao said:"Then let the Chief of the Navy Shen Hao give his opinion."

Everyone looked at Shen Hao. They were jealous, disdainful, envious, and worshipful. It was complicated and difficult to understand.

Shen Hao said:"First of all, what does the war in Europe have to do with us in Asia?.

However, we can regain our local territory. German Minister Mader has agreed and expressed his willingness to directly return the Jiaozhou Bay leased land to us.

Why not take Qingdao peacefully if we can remain neutral?"

Everyone was in an uproar!

Obviously, this news was something they had not expected.

After being rejected by the British Minister Zhu Erdian, Shen Hao directly approached the German Minister Mardel, who expressed his willingness to let Out of Qingdao.

Yuan Datou was also a little surprised, and he was overjoyed. Of course he was happy to be able to take back Qingdao without spending a single force. So he said:"Okay, in that case, we will continue to remain neutral. Cao Rulin, deputy minister of foreign affairs, you are responsible for contacting the German Minister Ma Dyer prepares for handover"

""It's the President."

As soon as the meeting ended, the Japanese minister became angry when he learned the news.

After the start of World War I, the Japanese regarded themselves as the legal heirs of all German interests in China.

Therefore, the Japanese minister to China warned diplomacy Deputy Minister Cao Rulin was not allowed to accept Germany's suggestions.

At the same time, the Japanese pirates were also prohibited from forming an alliance with the Eagle Country.

The reason given was that"East Asians' physique is not suitable for fighting in European mountains and forests." (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

At this time, news also came from Yingguo that it refused to form an alliance.

These two pieces of news also completely dispelled Yuan Datou's idea of ​​taking over Qingdao.

But reason told him that it was not possible now.

The Beiyang government was not very active in taking back Qingdao. Nothing was done, which disappointed Shen Hao.

A country's diplomacy is a major policy, but it actually backed down after being frightened by Japanese pirates?

A country's diplomacy was actually controlled by others.

The backbone and soul of the country were also lost.

A waste of opportunity, It was such a waste, which made Shen Hao very unhappy.

He wished he could personally send troops to take over Qingdao.

The diplomatic failure of the Beiyang government came not only from its cowardice in the face of foreign powers, but also from its shallow understanding of independent power or national sovereignty..

The warlord government during the Republic of China was good at internal fighting, but not good at handling diplomacy; it was good at encroaching on the wall, but not good at defending external rights. It really was hard to stand up after being on its knees for a long time.

The angry Shen Hao just didn't bother to care about it and went to the Jin Dynasty. Quan's birthday party.

When we arrived at the Jin family, the entire Jin family was deserted, and not a single person was congratulating us.

Ever since Jin Quan lost his throne in Zongli, the Jin family had only turned downwards.

Seeing Shen Hao coming, Jin Quan was still a little happy in his heart and said hurriedly:"Ah Hao, you are here."

Shen Hao gave him his gift and smiled:"Today is your birthday. Here, I wish you happiness as long as the east sea and longevity as the south mountain."

Jin Quan forced his face and said with a smile:"Haha, let me borrow your good words, please sit inside quickly."

Shen Hao nodded, gave his gift and walked into the hall.

Jin Ruizhi held Shen Hao's arm with a smile on his face and said:"How tired are you?"Not tired,"

Shen Hao said,"I'm definitely not tired. It's mainly because I'm upset.""

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, some diplomatic matters," Shen Hao said.

Hearing this, several sisters from the Jin family became interested instantly.

Jin Daozhi, Jin Minzhi, the oldest member of the Jin family, and the youngest concubine Jin Meili, all sat beside Shen Hao, curious. Incessantly.

There has been a lot of talk about the war recently, and this news is in the newspapers every day.

"Brother-in-law, just tell me, we want to hear it." Jin Meili looked at Shen Haodao expectantly; looking at the identical faces of Jin Meili and the actress Shu Chang, Shen Hao smiled and said,"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you.".
