Foreign Minister Ishii Kikujiro nodded and said:"Hai"

"Increase the attack on Wanwan and let Chai Goro capture Wanwan within three days."

"Hi!"

However, Japan's idea was good, but it was quickly slapped in the face.

Because Japan proposed 21 treaties to Beiyang, 21 of them" stipulated many contents that were beneficial to Japan.

These include transferring Germany's interests in Qingdao to Japan, ceding Fujian, etc., allowing Japan to lease land in various places, and handing over important resources such as railways and mineral resources to Japanese control.

There is no doubt that these contents violate Beiyang's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and have caused great harm to Beiyang's economy and national interests.

At the same time, these railways and mineral resources are also wanted by Britain, the United States, and France.

It can be said that it has indirectly damaged the interests of the United Kingdom, the United States, and France.

At that time, Japan requested that the negotiations and their contents be kept confidential, fearing the involvement of other powers.

The Beijing government did the opposite and sent Gu Weidiao to quickly leak the relevant content to the American minister.

""Twenty-One" and the Japanese ambition to dominate Beiyang were soon known to the great powers. Western countries represented by the United States began to protest and use military actions to put pressure on the Japanese.

Therefore, this time, when Japanese diplomacy Minister Kikujiro Ishii met with the ministers of the three countries, hoping to put pressure on Beiyang against Shen Hao.

As a result, the three countries ignored him at all, and the United States was even more gloating about his misfortune.

The United Kingdom and France were sinking deeper and deeper on the European battlefield and had no energy to care about anything..

Besides, Wanwan is a colony of Japan, and they hope that Japan can't handle Wanwan, so they end up taking advantage.

The United States is too lazy to deal with Japan, which is not in their interests.

What's more, Shen Hao has a large number of arms transactions with the United States, and they also I don't want to deal with Japan.

I wish Japan would get involved with Shen Hao and reap the benefits. The attitude of the ministers of the three countries is the same.

Wanwan is your colony, you can solve it yourself.

After being frustrated by the ministers of the United Kingdom, the United States, and France, Ishii Kikujiro We can only let the Japanese minister put pressure on Yuan Shikai.

Zhong Nanhai and Yuan Datou met with the Japanese minister Hichiji Yi.

Hichiyi went straight to the point without any greetings:"President Yuan, Shen Hao, the patrol envoy of Guangdong and Guangxi, is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. The wanton destruction has seriously affected the peace between our two countries.

On behalf of the Prime Minister of the Empire of Japan, Masaki Terauchi, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kikujiro Ishii, I express serious protest.

We hope that President Yuan will immediately send troops to conquer Shen Hao.

If not, we will join forces with the Allied Powers Britain, France, and the United States to carry out military intervention.

President Yuan, you should know that what happened in Qingdao is very likely to happen again.

We in Japan are likely to join forces with Britain again to form a coalition."

The threat in these words was unexpectedly obvious, which made Yuan Datou feel a little unhappy, but he still wanted to rely on Japan's support when he proclaimed himself emperor and endured it.

Damn it, how can I deal with Shen Hao?

Hit that side?

I have lost control a long time ago. If you really have this strength, you still have to say it.

Yuan Datou complained in his heart, naturally he couldn't break up with Shen Hao now.

At least Shen Hao didn't openly rebel against him, which saved him a lot of worry.

If Shen Hao is completely angered, Yuan Datou himself will not be able to bear the consequences.

Yuan Datou pretended to be stupid. Slightly mocking:"I'm sorry for what happened in Wanwan.

After the Treaty of Shimonoseki, it is no longer under our control.

This should be your Japanese matter, and we have no right to intervene. In addition, I have no actual evidence to prove it." , the tour of Guangdong and Guangxi made Shen Hao suspected of being an enemy.

If you really want us to control it, it's not impossible, just tear up the Shimonoseki Treaty and put Wanwan under our Beiyang management."

Although Yuan Datou needs Japan's support, it does not mean that he is easy to fool.

As soon as these words came out, Hichiji's face turned extremely ugly:"How can the Treaty of Shimonoseki be torn up?

Did President Yuan acquiesce to Shen Hao's behavior?"

Yuan Datou said:"This is wrong. I am really over-intentioned and powerless. The actual situation between Guangdong and Guangxi The government is out of my control.

Besides, there is no actual evidence, so I can’t explain it to the whole country."

Hikiichi said with an ugly face:"President Yuan, you need to know that our Empire of Japan supports you in proclaiming the emperor. I hope you will become emperor as soon as possible." Remove Shen Hao from his official position and transfer him to the capital.

His power has seriously threatened your throne. You should know that you will not feel at ease unless you get rid of him." (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Yuan Datou said:"This is our internal affairs in Beiyang, so I won't bother Minister Rizhiyi."

The negotiation was fruitless, and Yuan Datou's attitude made the Japanese Minister Rizhiyi very dissatisfied.

Immediately, Hichi Yi walked out of Zhong Nanhai and reported to the cabinet.

Looking at Rizhiyi's back, Yuan Datou sneered in his heart. When he was worried that Shen Hao was getting stronger, Japan and Shen Hao started having sex on the bay. This was great for Yuan Datou.

Japan is like a mother-in-law who keeps suppressing Yuan Datou, and Shen Hao is like a strong sister-in-law, making Yuan Datou's new wife's position unstable.

It is best for the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law to fight. It is best for both parties to lose, and Yuan Datou will be more satisfied.

But Hiki further understood that Yuan Datou would compromise.

As we all know, Yuan Datou's biggest dream was to become the emperor, but he was opposed by domestic and foreign public opinion and other forces. He could only achieve his goal by seeking support from Japan.

The Japanese side used the bait of helping Yuan Shikai realize his wish to become emperor and threw out the"Twenty-One" demands to Yuan Shikai's government.

After reading"Twenty Articles", Yuan Shikai became furious and cursed the Japanese.

Although any of these twenty-one items can nail him to the pillar of shame in history.

However, Yuan Datou endured it in order to become emperor. Hizuki and the Japanese cabinet were confident that they could control Yuan Datou.

When the Japanese cabinet received the news, they also looked anxious and discussed it all night.

The negotiations on the Twenty-One Articles have been unable to be signed. Western powers such as the United Kingdom and the United States have put pressure on Japan, and now they have been miserably lost. This series of bad news has made the Japanese cabinet extremely angry.

Therefore, the Prime Minister and other ministers met again overnight to study the Twenty-One Contract.

While the Japanese Minister Hijiri was negotiating with Yuan Datou, the American Minister Rui En in Longguo quietly met with Shen Hao.

When American Minister Rui En came to Shen Hao's inspection house, he was shocked.

He repeatedly praised:"Wow, General Shen, you really know how to enjoy it.

Even the White House where our president lives is not so luxurious."

Shen Hao smiled and said:"Minister Rui En is joking, how can this remote country compare to the United States?" The White House, that's the center of power in the world." (Well done) Upon hearing this, Rui En's face suddenly showed an excited smile.

Obviously, Shen Hao's flattery was on point.

The United States has been unable to escape the shadow of Europe and has no chance of becoming stronger and bigger.

But this European war gave them hope.

Becoming the most powerful country in the world is also the outcome that all senior leaders in the United States want to see most.

I have to say that Shen Hao's tickling was just right.

Ruien said:"General Shen, it's really nice to chat with you."

Shen Hao laughed and took Ruien to the study.

Shen Hao seemed to be able to guess a thing or two about Rui En's purpose.

Looking at everything from a profit perspective, this guy's purpose becomes clear.

Japan's slow rise is certainly not conducive to European and American interests in the Asia-Pacific and even in the North.

So how to weaken it? The twists and turns of events seem to have given the United States hope.

Sure enough, Shen Hao guessed almost exactly.

After a moment of greetings, Rui En smiled and said,"General Shen, what do you think of the Wanwan incident?".
