(third update)

Just as undercurrents were surging in all parties, in mid-December, the finances of the East China Provisional Government had greatly improved because the factories began to start production.

East China Petroleum Company drilled its first barrel of crude oil in the Jiangsu oil field, East China Chemical Company produced the first bag of well salt in Huai'an, and at the same time produced soda ash, caustic soda, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid.

The East China Group's steel company reached its annual output of 200,000 tons of steel this month, and the East China Marine Transportation Company's 10,000-ton cargo ship has also grown to 50.

At the same time, the internal combustion engine manufacturer manufactured the first high-horsepower diesel engine, which is 450 horsepower.

On overseas commercial loans, Xia Jun's patent and shares were mortgaged, unexpectedly obtained a loan of US$60 million.

The arrival of this loan allowed Xia Jun to solve the financial shortcomings. The Ministry of Trade received US$10 million to open KFC stores in the United States, Europe and Australia. This was the first business undertaken by the Ministry of Trade.

East China Mining Company received US$20 million to build mining infrastructure. East China Mining Company has bought a chrome mine in Africa, a copper mine and iron mine in Australia, and a nickel mine in the Philippines. In addition to buying the land, it also obtained a prospecting right and in a very short time, it obtained a mining license.

At the same time, Xia Jun also allocated US$10 million to East China Power Company to cooperate with the Ministry of Water Resources to repair power stations and erect circuits and other facilities.

East China Hardware Manufacturing Company also received $10 million in funding to expand the production of goods needed for infrastructure such as rails, steel pipes, and wires.

Of the last $10 million, $5 million was allocated to East China Steel Company for expanding the production capacity of stainless steel and $5 million was used to expand the production capacity of building materials such as cement.

With these funds, the industries in Xia Jun's hands began to expand explosively. If what is missing is the lack of tariffs.

During the negotiations with Tao Chengzhang, Tang Shaoyi agreed to the conditions proposed by the previous Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office, and his condition was that the Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office of the East China Provisional Affairs Office of the Year. As a result,

However, this move was rejected by Tao Chengzhang. According to Xia Jun's wishes, Tao Chengzhang only promised Tang Shaoyi that the temporary policy in East China could remain neutral.

It has evolved to a new level to this extent.

In the past, the two sides discussed the conditions for the interim politics in East China, and the interim politics in East China would support the party that agreed to the conditions. Now both parties have agreed to the conditions, and neither of them has supported the conditions.

Whether it is Yuan Shikai or Nanjing Interim Government, whoever dares to repent, the East China Interim Government will turn to the other side, which makes both sides dare not repent, while the East China Interim Government will be out of the way.

However, after the East China Provisional Political Department withdrew from the negotiations on this triangle, it immediately asked Yuan Shikai to negotiate with foreigners and take back Fujian and Zhejiang Customs.

This recovery is taken back in the name of the new "Republic of China". In fact, it is managed by the East China Autonomous Government. The temporary government can change the tariff on import and export of goods, and the tariff income is taken out by the East China Autonomous Government to repair China's water conservancy and develop Chinese education.

Xia Jun also wanted to win the benefits from the customs, but the problem was that no one would agree to such conditions, so he had to take out the money from the tariff.

However, Xia Jun himself can't get it, and no one else can get the money. Therefore, Xia Jun's condition is to spend the money on the people and use it to repair water conservancy and carry out education.

His real purpose is to control the level of customs tariffs, thinking that the three provinces and even the whole of China has a good export environment.

Only by breaking the obstacles in tariffs can the goods be sold at an advantageous competitive price.

Xia Jun wrote to Modoma to seek US support for this. If the US wants to support the temporary policy of East China to recover tariffs, there must be enough bait.

Xia Jun has released this bait before, which is to implement a zero-tariff policy with the United States, that is, American goods can enter China from Fujian and Zhejiang, and goods from the three eastern Chinese provinces can also enter the United States from zero tariffs.

It seems that Americans take advantage of the situation because China's export volume is very high. If the United States obtains such privileges, it can enter goods from Zhejiang and Fujian, and then transport them to other provinces in China, thereby radiating to the whole of China.

Of course, this condition is the secret of both parties. If the British knew about it, they would definitely not agree.

As for the UK, Xia Jun has another way. Britain has the most interests in China, so what the British need most at this time is to stabilize China. Xia Jun can become a factor that makes China unstable and even have the ability to lose all their money.

As long as Xia Jun supports Nanjing's temporary politics, Nanjing's temporary politics can defeat Beiyang politics. If all the terms of the British are not recognized at that time, the British will lose money.

However, this is just a scare. If Xia Jun does this, it will obviously be more than worth the cost, because the UK is not without a means of counterattack. For example, if the British are forced to do something urgent, they can let Japan intervene and other means.

Once such a situation develops, not only will the interests of the British be damaged, but Xia Jun's interests will also be seriously damaged, and both sides will not be worth the loss.

Xia Jun must make Britain realize that Japan's intervention cannot win, so that the British can retreat. Therefore, Xia Jun and Xia Jun invited British Ambassador Juerdian to come to Jian'an to visit the arsenal.

British Ambassador Juerdian agreed to the invitation to visit at the joint invitation of Yuan Shikai, and British Ambassador Juerdian also wanted to learn more about the interim affairs of East China.

As the British ambassador in China, we must make accurate judgments and evaluations of all Chinese forces in order to bring the greatest benefits to the British Empire.

Soon on December 29, British Ambassador Jurden decided to visit Jian'an on January 2.

Because Modoma was bribed by Xia Jun, he was also very active in Xia Jun's letter and began to report to the US government.

British ambassador Juerdian was bought by Yuan Shikai. Yuan Shikai did not understand why the East China Autonomous Government had to control tariffs, but the proceeds of the tariffs of the two provinces would be used for education, water conservancy, and East China temporary governments. Therefore, Yuan Shikai also tried his best to let Juerdian make this happen.

Of course, bribery does not allow them to sell out national interests, but they will at least be more active in doing things.

At the same time, Xia Jun invited German affairs observers to visit Yingtan for training. Xia Jun was not afraid of Germany, a defeated country in the war.

At the same time, he is willing to sell some weapons and technology to obtain their current support, and at the same time, he can also make the Germans fight harder in the first battle. At that time, Xia Jun can do more business with the British to extract more profits from the British.

Through these military observers, Xia Jun can establish contact with Germany, trade technology for technology, and obtain German diplomatic support.

Xia Jun's series of diplomatic activities began like this.

Sun Yat-sen also held the inauguration ceremony of the interim president in Nanjing on January 1.

At the inauguration ceremony, Sun Yat-sen read the oath of office in Mandarin not in Mandarin, but in Cantonese. Because there are no words like democratic republic in the oath, he does not use Mandarin.

Sun Dapao shouted at the Democratic Republic. Under this gorgeous coat, he was actually a dictator. He could come out of the Kuomintang and later some crotch. Sun Dapao's so-called Democratic Republic was just a sold dog meat with the title of sheep.

Xia Jun watched the development of the current situation in Yingtan coldly. According to history, Sun Dapao gave way to Yuan Shikai to conduct tutoring. When his tutoring failed, he put on the gorgeous coat of the democratic republic and launched the Second Revolution, thus causing China to fall into the beginning of a civil war.

In fact, there was no real democratic republic in this era, and there was no democratic republic in later generations. If Sun Dapao, a guy known as the founding father, had the achievements of those in power to keep wearing that democratic republic coat to cover up their ugliness, that's all.

Moreover, Sun Dapao also acted as a pawn in Japan, disrupting China's stability. From 1911 to the end of the 20th century, nearly 90 years.

Looking back, what has China experienced in the precious time of 90 years? What would it be if China could develop with a stable and normal trajectory for 90 years?

Modern China has not kept up with the trajectory of world development, and it is obviously these people who make trouble.

Nanjing's temporary government was established, and Sun Dapao got his wish and became president. However, Sun Dapao was soon hit and Wang Jingwei began to spread the news that the Beiyang Army general was attacking.

At first glance, Sun Dapao didn't feel anything. The Beiyang Army was fighting, so the temporary government in East China could be blocked!

However, Wang Jingwei quickly told the situation that Yuan Shikai had reached the same conditions with the East China Provisional Government, and told the revolutionaries that the East China Provisional Government was neutral.

Sun Dapao quickly sent someone to verify with Tao Chengzhang, and Tao Chengzhang just nodded coldly. This was undoubtedly a sudden blow to Nanjing's temporary government.

Without the support of the East China Provisional Government, their Nanjing Provisional Government could not stop the Beiyang Army.

A group of revolutionaries quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures. Wang Jingwei proposed that at this point, only Sun Yat-sen wrote a letter to Yuan Shikai, saying that he was just a temporary position as president.

Wang Jingwei's proposal was quickly approved by other revolutionaries. Although these people shouted about revolution, they were very afraid of Yuan Shikai's attack. They knew how much they were.

When Sun Dapao became president, he was naturally very reluctant to let him go. After a long time of failure, Wang Jingwei saw that his strength was not fierce enough and said, "You don't agree with the collegial proposal. Do you want to let the president go?"

This sentence made Sun Yat-sen ask so he had no way out, so he had to send a telegram to Yuan Shikai.

The content of the telegram is: "Although the text is temporarily exhausted, and the position is empty, it can be revealed in the future. I hope to make a big plan early to comfort the desire of 400 million people. Sun Yat-sen steams the seal!"

This means that I will give up this president in front of you, and wait for Yuan Shikai to force the Qing court to abdicate, and this president can give up.

Among all kinds of intrigues, the Provisional Political Department of East China was considered a matter of being aside and watched the show. The two sides also recognized the political status of the Provisional Political Department of East China because of the intrigue.

The German Observer arrived in Yingtan on January 3 and began to visit the East China Army under training.
