Four hundred and thirtieth chapters garrison commander
"Mr. Duan, Feng Zhang is mobilizing troops and generals. Tens of thousands of elite Feng troops will soon enter the pass. I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to maintain your position as prime minister!"
The Japanese Minister to China, Kohata Yukichi, had a smile that could not be concealed on his face. He succeeded Hiki Masuo as the Minister to China. He had two main missions, one was the 21 issues, and the other was the Shandong issue.
After Lao Yuan's struggle, the Twenty-one Treaties became the Fourth Civil Treaty. However, the contents of these treaties were unable to be implemented, especially the parts related to the three northeastern provinces. Fengjun had not taken it seriously for a long time. In addition, the Japanese from Germany
They also tried to force the Republic of China government to sign a contract to hand over German power in Shandong to the Japanese.
With two major missions, Xiaobata Youji feels a heavy responsibility and has been putting pressure on the Beiyang government. Now he finally found a good opportunity. The old section was in turmoil and it was when foreign aid was urgently needed. Xiaobata Youji saw the opportunity and came directly.
Looking for Duan Qirui.
"Minister Kohata is arrogant and has no respect for the interests of the Japanese Empire. If he is allowed to rule Beijing, Japan's rights in China will be affected."
"Duan Gong, this is the basis of our cooperation. As long as you agree to hand over Shandong to Japan, we will provide a large amount of arms loans to help you arm your troops to deal with Fengjun's offensive!"
When Duan Qirui heard about loans and arms, he couldn't help but be moved. This was what he urgently needed. Now Fengjun's weapons are basically self-sufficient and can be sold in large quantities. Duan Qirui does not have the capital and can only rely on purchasing from foreign countries.
, the most important of which is Japan. It is bluntly said that without the strong support of the Japanese, Lao Duan really has no confidence to fight against Zhang Zuolin.
"Minister Xiaobata, I agree that the Shandong issue should be handed over to Japan, but the problem is that the public opposition is too high, and Zhang Zuolin entered the country under this banner. If I agree now, I will have confirmed Zhang Zuolin's accusations.
You mean, I can’t sit in this position either.”
"Mr. Duan, don't worry. We can sign a secret agreement. Only you know and I know. The imperial government will provide a lot of assistance. With the comprehensive help of the imperial government, defeating Fengjun will not be a problem at all. Once Zhang Zuolin is solved, you
Do you still worry about these little troubles?"
Xiaobata Youji had a sly smile on his face, while Lao Duan frowned and fell into deep thought...
At the same time, a guest was also welcomed in Fengtian's handsome manor. That was Masasuke Akajiri, the Consul General of Japan in Fengtian. This guy had fought with Fengtian many times. However, he lost more than he won.
He was so disgraced that some people in the country even wanted to remove him. However, this time Masasuke Akashiri was triumphant and couldn't help smiling on his face. There were two people accompanying him, one was Yu Chonghan and the other was Wu Junsheng. These two
I personally invited Masasuke Akajiri to Zhang Zuolin's study.
Lao Zhang was waiting for them at the door of the study. When he saw Akajiri Shosuke coming, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to say hello. He said with a smile: "Mr. Consul General, we are already old friends. I really feel a little sorry for this big labor trip."
"Zhang Sang, the imperial government and I both appreciate your abilities and are willing to maintain a cooperative relationship with you. We should put aside the interference of some people and have a frank and honest talk. Maybe the misunderstandings in the past can be resolved.
"
"This is the best, this is the best!"
They entered the study and sat down with each other. Akajiri Shosuke was the first to speak: "Zhang Sang, the imperial government doesn't care who controls the Beijing government. As long as the empire's interests in China can be safeguarded, we can cooperate. And the imperial government also thinks that you
He is a relatively promising political leader, completely different from others. If China and Japan truly join hands with each other, they will surely be able to achieve a new situation in Greater East Asia."
"Commander, what Mr. Consul General said is very good. Our past misunderstandings were all instigated by Zhang Tinglan. How can a group of adults be influenced by a child..." Wu Datongue wanted to continue, but Lao Zhang waved his hand with a gloomy face.
Stopped him.
"I have asked me for advice on everything I do, and I also agree that Zhang, who grew up in this black land, should think more about the love between his parents and live up to his own conscience. This time, Mr. Consul General is invited to come over.
I just want to talk about Japan’s views on Duan Qirui’s government.”
Lao Zhang stopped Wu Junsheng's words, which made Big Tongue look a little embarrassed. He thought that Lao Zhang's adoption of his suggestion would mean abandoning Zhang Tinglan's ideas, and by the way, it would also damage Zhang Tinglan's status. Now it seems that it is not that simple.
, Zhang Tinglan's status is still very special, Lao Zhang has his bottom line of principles, at this moment Wu Junsheng finally realized that he had not guessed Zhang Zuolin's inner thoughts.
Akajiri Shosuke was no longer so proud. He paused and then said: "Mr. Zhang Sang, Duan Qirui and the imperial government are friendly friends. He has basically agreed on the Shandong issue. If the Chinese side can ensure the continuity of the policy,
Sex is our greatest hope."
Akajiri Masuke also made it clear that if Lao Zhang wants to take over the Central Plains, he can, but he must hand over Shandong to the Japanese. In fact, it is not without reason that the Japanese value Shandong so much. They control Luda in the northeast and Luda in the southeast.
After controlling Taiwan, if they take Shandong again, the entire eastern half of China will be under their control, and China will really become a delicacy for the Japanese.
Lao Zhang frowned. He did not rush to answer, but asked again: "Does Japan have any other requirements?"
Akajiri Masuke said with a smile: "There are indeed some initiatives to strengthen cooperation. For example, we hope to cooperate with Fengtian in the military industry and steel industry. We also hope that Fengtian can send 200,000 civilians to assist the empire in its operations in the Far East. In addition, financial and economic
Cooperation can also be carried out in various fields. In short, both parties should coexist and prosper, support each other and develop together."
After hearing what Akajiri Shosuke said, Zhang Zuolin's face suddenly turned gloomy. The Japanese have such a huge appetite. If they agree to his conditions, it will be equivalent to destroying the results of Zhang Tinglan's efforts and Fengjun will fall into Japan again.
Within human control, this was completely beyond Zhang Zuolin's bottom line, and his breathing was unavoidably heavy.
"Commander, a man's ambition is to conquer the world. A small gain or loss in the Northeast can be exchanged for taking control of the Central Plains and owning the entire country. This deal is very cost-effective. Don't hesitate to go against the Japanese government. There is no benefit. We can work closely together.
valid reason!"
"Shut up!"
Lao Zhang shouted loudly, with angry flames in his eyes, and said loudly: "Zhang has said long ago that I want to be worthy of my own conscience and worthy of the young and old men of the black land. I will not mention those excessive conditions again.
Zhang is willing to cooperate with Japan, and we can sit down and talk about the Shandong issue, and the deadline for return can be extended. As for the other Zhang, if he agrees, he will follow Duan Qirui's old path, and maybe there will be others
People kicked me off the stage!”
Zhang Zuolin's sudden change of attitude made the other three people show panic on their faces, especially Wu Junsheng. He originally thought that he could promote cooperation between Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese. In fact, in his opinion, it was not a bad idea to give away the interests of the three northeastern provinces. Especially
Being able to return to the colorful world of the Central Plains is a huge profit. I really can’t understand why Zhang Zuolin refused.
The same is true for Akajiri Shosuke. In fact, nothing is groundless. During this period of time, Wu Junsheng and others have encouraged Zhang Zuolin to enter the border, and the Japanese are instigating it behind the scenes.
As Fengjun becomes more and more powerful, the Japanese government has been discussing how to deal with Fengjun, especially after the Japanese government learned that Fengjun had acquired a large number of factories from Russia. Everyone in Japan was very worried. Why did they bully them?
China, they themselves know very well that if Fengjun also has its own industrial system, it will be able to challenge the Japanese.
Therefore, the Japanese are repeatedly making plans. Some people advocate the direct use of force. But now about half of Japan's army is deployed in Siberia to fight Russia. If they attack Fengjun again, they simply do not have the strength. Maybe they will be a double force.
In a losing situation, not only will we not be able to win the three eastern provinces, we may also suffer a disastrous defeat in the Far East.
After some discussions, the Japanese chose a relatively safe plan, which was to encourage China to launch a civil war, use Beiyang to weaken the Fengjun army, and at the same time use the Fengjun army to blackmail Beiyang and force them to give up more interests. In this way, the Japanese
As long as the two sides continue to fight, their dependence on Japan will increase, and both sides will become Japanese puppets.
It can be said that the Japanese were very shrewd in their wishful thinking and their intentions were extremely sinister. However, Lao Zhang did not cooperate with the Japanese, which made Masasuke Akajiri very embarrassed.
He sneered and said: "Zhang Sang, if you are a friend of the empire, the empire will fully help you. If you become an enemy of the empire, you must bear the consequences yourself!"
Akajiri turned around and left with a groan, while Lao Zhang sat sullenly on the master's chair without saying a word. At this time, Wu Junsheng looked at Zhu Bajie in the mirror. He was not human inside and out, and was very embarrassed.
"Commander, this negotiation is just a business deal. If you don't want to give up your bargaining chips, how can we get the Japanese to help us? You can't be like that kid Zhang Tinglan, acting on impulse!"
Lao Zhang didn't listen to Wu Junsheng's words at all. He just waved his hand in disgust and told him to go out. Wu Junsheng had no choice but to stamp his feet and turn around to leave.
After sitting in silence for a long time, Lao Zhang asked someone to call Zhang Xueliang in. Zhang Xueliang also saw that Lao Zhang was a little angry and felt a little hairy in his heart. He didn't know what to say. Instead, Lao Zhang sneered and said: "They treat me as a human being.
Marionette, I simply underestimated Zhang, but this time I also saw clearly that people like Wu Junsheng are indeed unable to keep up with the trend. Their minds are too outdated. After entering the customs, let them go to the northwest to serve as provincial governors.
, tossing around as much as you want, it can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous thing."
"Dad, you keep falling out with the Japanese, so we don't have to enter the customs?"
"Nonsense. Since I have taken this step, I am sure of victory. I just want to see the bottom line of the Japanese. Han Qing, please pass on my order and appoint Zhuo Yan as the commander of the Fengtian garrison. After the troops are dispatched, the Japanese
There must be some action to hold us back, and the only one who can withstand the pressure of the Japanese is Yu Yan!"
When Zhang Xueliang heard this arrangement, his face also showed joy. During this period, the young marshal always felt that there was a gap between his father and Zhang Tinglan, and it was difficult for him to be a good person when he was caught in the middle. But at this time, Zhang Xueliang finally understood that his father
He still trusted and relied on Zhang Tinglan, so he didn't have to be embarrassed.
Therefore, Zhang Xueliang went to Zhang Tinglan in a hurry to tell him the good news. After the two brothers met, Zhang Xueliang said excitedly: "I would like to say that my father appointed you as the commander of the Fengtian security, and you will be fully responsible for the security of Fengtian. Moreover, my father also said
After he enters the customs, the Japanese will definitely take action to allow you to withstand the pressure from the Japanese."
Zhang Tinglan was also very surprised by this appointment. At first, he thought that Lao Zhang wanted to compromise with the Japanese in exchange for their permission. But now he saw that Zhang Zuolin had other plans, and Zhang Tinglan also had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
If you don't let the Japanese lead you by the nose, you might have a chance of winning if you enter the customs.
"Han Qing, tell the commander-in-chief that as long as I am here, the Japanese will not even think about causing any trouble!" Zhang Tinglan said with a sneer: "Don't think that they will have a chance if most of the Fengjun army enters the customs. They are really going to be embarrassed.
, I will turn their 100,000 intervention troops into powder!"
Zhang Tinglan has been thinking about how to deal with the Japanese threat in the past two days. He also knows that he cannot passively be beaten, so Zhang Tinglan is ready to target the Japanese intervention forces. This is a good card at the critical moment!
"What I say is heroic, and I will not lag behind. This time I will be the vanguard for our Fengjun army, fight out of the pass, and let everyone in the world see the majesty of Fengjun!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature,
