Chapter 884, a friend in the mountain county
Chapter 884: There are friends in Shanxian County
Yutoto of Shan County shook his head and said, "I can tell you clearly that this news is definitely fake. Perhaps it is a rumor deliberately spread by some people, with the purpose of creating a more serious Sino-Japanese conflict."
Qingpu Kuiwu said in confusion: "Even Goto Jun believes in this news, why can you conclude that this is a rumor? Furthermore, the Sino-Japanese conflict is increasing day by day. As long as Wu Shaoting is in power, his style will never be well-built with our Great *** Empire. I really don't know what this barbarian is thinking!"
Shanxian Youpeng said with certainty: "This is precisely because of Wu Shaoting's style that the news is more certain that it is purely fabricated. With Wu Shaoting's current diplomatic attitude, he seems to be very confident in a tough diplomatic game, and he is not afraid of offending anyone in this game. This can be seen from the Qingdao war response and the attitude of claiming after the war."
Qingpu Kuiwu nodded quickly to express his agreement, and then waited for the words of Youpeng from Shanxian to say.
Yamashiro Akito continued slowly, "So, according to his character, why do you have to mobilize troops to build another new railway next to the South Manchuria Railway? If it were him, I simply announced the cancellation of the privilege of our Great *** Empire to host railways in the three eastern provinces and forcibly nationalize the South Manchuria Railway. Wouldn't it be more convenient?"
When Qingpu Kuiwu heard this, his face suddenly became serious. He snorted coldly: "Even if Wu Shaoting has a hundred courages, he would never dare to do this. This is blatant declaration of war on our Great *** Empire."
Yama County Youpeng said with a smile: "When he is really ready, he will definitely declare war on us. It's a matter of time sooner or later."
Qingpu Kuiwu clenched his fists, and there was more anger on his old face. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency, although I don't really want to believe that the Chinese have the courage, I have long been very dissatisfied with Wu Shaoting's personal diplomatic attitude. If he finally went crazy and declared war on our Great *** Empire, then we can teach him a lesson."
Youpeng of Shanxian sighed and took the teapot leisurely to fill the teacup with water. He said, "I hope Wu Shaoting is a lunatic. The battle of Qingdao has increased a lot of morale to the Chinese people. This is like the Japanese-Chinese War and Russo-Japanese War launched by our Great Empire back then, which completely boosted the morale of our Great Empire. It has to be said that Wu Shaoting is a determined and capable person. China has such a young and talented leader, which is definitely a big threat."
Qingpu Kuiwu said solemnly: "But... do you have any plans for the military expenditure plan?" After hearing that Shanxian Youpeng highly praised Wu Shaoting, he felt a sense of pressure in his heart. He is nearly 60 years old and still has his own opinions on the international situation. It is obvious that China and *** will have a decisive battle, but he did not expect China to make such plans.
In fact, *** should have been awakened and should have started to help the Beiyang government to severely attack the southern forces during the Civil War. At the end of the Beiyang government, the Japanese Minister of Yoshihide was forced to resign due to the "Twenty-Official" incident. After that, Yuyuki Hamaguchi, who later took over as the Minister of Ambassador to China, took office with a "moderate Sino-Japanese foreign policy", but it was also impossible for the Chinese official to change his attitude towards Japan. Wu Shaoting still had the same cold face, and even said very serious words many times in front of Yuyuki Hamaguchi.
Shanxian Youpeng said calmly: "Anyway, judging from the domestic situation of our great empire, military expenditures must be achieved. No matter what the situation is, whether it is delayed or financial difficulties, as long as the people feel that China's threat is getting stronger and stronger, they will eventually implement the plan of military expansion. What I am worried about now is that China is, if China provokes the war first before we are ready to go to war, that is the worst thing."
Qingpu Kuiwu frowned and said, "How could you have such an idea?"
Yupeng, Shanxian, looked a little gloomy. He put down the teacup he had just raised again, sighed slowly and said: "When he was talking to Dashanjun just now, he told me that the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs collected some new information. Although the reliability still needs to be confirmed, in my opinion, there should be no mistake."
Qingpu Kuiwu asked seriously: "Is it information about the China Team?"
Youpeng in Shanxian nodded slowly, and the gloomy face became stronger. He said: "That's right, the First Northern Army of China in Beijing, Zhili and Rehe provinces completed all organization half a month ago, including combat materials. According to information collected by the Intelligence Department, Wu Shaoting will hold the Spring Army of the First Northern Army one day next month, and the location is in Fengtian."
Qingpu Kuiwu took a breath and said with a tense nerve: "So, are the Chinese planning to start a war in this spring?"
Shanxian Youpeng shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, but... if I were Wu Shaoting, it would be too hasty to start a war at this time. With his careful thinking, he would definitely not start a war too hasty. After all, the three eastern provinces are not the south, and the warlords in the north may not be willing to obey his orders with conscience. So I speculate that this so-called spring army warlords were either to shock the warlords of the three eastern provinces, or to unify the three eastern provinces by force."
Qingpu Kuiwu pondered for a moment, then hurriedly said, "Is this reliable for your speculation?"
Shanxian Youpeng smiled and said, "Since it's speculation, of course there is no real confidence. But I think no matter what Wu Shaoting's intention is, he will definitely launch a war before we prepare for it in North Korea. Perhaps this spring army in Fengtian is just to lay the foundation for the rule of the three eastern provinces, but once he succeeds, the attack of our Great *** Empire will inevitably be more difficult."
Qingpu Kuiwu sighed and said, "Your Excellency, then we should be fully prepared. The Chinese have already understood our intentions. According to Wu Shaoting's style of governing, he will never fight a war that is unsure. It is just a worrying thing. Compared to China, our great empire is now worried everywhere, with financial difficulties, economic sluggish economy, insufficient army strength, and the aid from Britain and Russia has been delayed. I really don't know..."
Before Qingpu Kuiwu finished speaking, Yutoto Yama County interrupted seriously: "This war is related to whether our great empire can establish the status of the great powers and whether it can dominate the entire Asia. So we must not be shaken before the war. Do you understand? This battle is only allowed to go smoothly and not fail."
Qingpu Kuiwu hurriedly said, "I understand."
