111 years ago today, on September 2, 1914 (July 13, 1914 lunar calendar), the Japanese army landed in Shandong. Japanese warships carried the army that attacked Qingdao and landed in Laoshan Bay, Shandong. On August 23, 1914, Japan declared war on Germany. On September 2, more than 2,000 members of the 18th Japanese Division landed in Longkou, Huangxian County, Shandong Province, forcing the Chamber of Commerce to supply 1,000 mules and carriages and hundreds of men, issuing military banknotes and forcing the Chinese to use them. The next day, another 3,000 Japanese troops landed. On the 10th, the Japanese army invaded Pingdu and forced the county governor to supply thousands of catties of meat, rice and wheat, and millions of catties of fuel, which were handed over within 5 days. The expiration date was punished by military law. And posted a notice declaring five laws of beheading to the Chinese: 1. All actors who hinder the Japanese army will be beheaded; 2. Those who cut off the power supply or dump it will be beheaded; 3. Detain or indicate that the informant will be rewarded; 4. If you don't know your crime and harbor the gangsters, the neighbors will be punished severely; 5. If one person in the village obstructs the Japanese actors, the people of the village will be executed. Blatantly regard the Chinese as conquered. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang government protested to Japan for this, but the Japanese ignored it. On the 17th, the Japanese army occupied Jiaozhou Railway Station and expelled the Chinese police. On the 26th, it occupied Weixian Station. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang government protested and demanded that the Japanese troops be withdrawn immediately, "with great faith." Japanese Minister Riji Yizhi argued forcefully that Jiaoji Road was a German industry, and Japan had the right to occupy it, which had nothing to do with China. He also asked the Chinese army to withdraw, otherwise a conflict would occur, and Japan would consider China to assist Germany.
