摘要
说到第一次世界大战,青岛在亚洲的地位,无疑是举足轻重的。不用说,当时日本与德国这两个列强在青岛争夺殖民地;也不用说英国还帮助日本出兵青岛,组成了'日英联军';更不用说这场战役仅仅打了两个多月,就以德军的弹尽粮绝而草草收场……单单要说的一件事,即在这场规模并不大的'青岛之战'当中,虽说袁世凯政府一再声称保持'中立',绝不'参战',可事实上,数千名中国的'胶东劳工',纷纷奔赴战场第一线,帮助'日英联军'挖战壕、运弹药、修轻轨,提供后勤补给等等。一时间,中国'胶东劳工'的这一'支前盛况'.
In Qingdao,it is still said that one hundred thousand Chinese workers once moved to Europe.Did the'one hundred thousand Chinese workers'leave from the Qingdao Port?Or was it the total number of the workers collected by Britain and France in Shandong Province?It cannot be found out now.Anyway,'one hundred thousand Chinese workers'was a hearsay at that time and has been widely spread.According to statistics from France,during WWI,—that is between 1916 and 1918,among the 140,000 Chinese workers sent to the Port of Marseilles,there were over 70,000 from Shandong Province,followed by those from Hebei Province.Meanwhile,China has also sent more workers to Russia,as many as 200,000 or so.Now,it is unknown how many people among them came from Shandong.There may be grounds for the statement of'one hundred thousand Chinese workers'.
