"I'd like to say that this behavior of the Japanese is a bit abnormal. I think there is a lot in it!" Jiang Fangzhen couldn't help but remind him.
Yang Yuting's mind was also spinning rapidly, and then he said with a smile: "I think they just want to hold us back. After all, once Sun Wen's party is eliminated, the Japanese will have one less card in their hands. And with the help of this operation,
The northern provinces have united, and China may be unified, so they will inevitably intervene."
Jiang Fangzhen also nodded and agreed with Yang Yuting's judgment. He smiled bitterly and said: "This matter is really difficult to deal with. If we soften, our reputation will definitely be hit, and the newly rising military morale will be affected. But once there is a big fanfare
If we don't fight the Japanese, even if we don't actually fight, it will involve energy, and Sun Wen and his party may take the opportunity to escape, and it will also delay our plan to integrate the Far East."
Zhang Tinglan also frowned and couldn't help but say: "It's definitely not good to be soft, but it's not good to be too tough. It's really difficult to handle!"
Just when Zhang Tinglan sighed, there was a rush of footsteps outside. Zhang Tingshu and Zhang Henian walked in one after another, with angry expressions on their faces. They had just learned about the situation, but the matter was serious, so they suppressed the crowd's emotions.
The excited soldiers prevented them from attacking the annex, and then rushed to find Zhang Tinglan.
Zhang Tingshu walked over in a few steps and said loudly: "Brother, our soldiers were killed, do you care about it?"
"Second brother, what do you want me to do?" Zhang Tinglan asked back.
Zhang Tingshu was choked immediately. He was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to go to the Japanese to settle the accounts immediately, but he had not yet figured out how to settle the accounts.
When Zhang Henian saw that Zhang Tingshu had nothing to say, he became anxious. He hurriedly said: "Commander, you can't ignore it. Brothers have been through life and death, but they died in such an unclear manner. If there is no expression, it will be bad for morale!"
"Mr. Zhang, it can't be said that he didn't express anything. Our diplomatic department has already gone to negotiate and lodged a solemn protest against Japan and asked them to hand over the murderer." Jiang Baili explained at the side.
"That's nonsense!" Zhang Henian's eyes suddenly widened: "When it comes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it's all a war of words. If someone slaps you in the mouth, you have to fight back immediately. If you can't fight back right away, no matter how you negotiate, it's all nonsense.
If we lose, even if they apologize and compensate us, so what?"
Zhang Tingshu also hurriedly interjected and said: "Yes, brother. What He Nian said is right. The Japanese are using their knives, and we must also use our knives. As long as you give the order, I will immediately lead the armored troops to flatten the Manchurian Railway Annex.
Arrest all the Japanese."
"Wei Jiu. You are forcing the commander-in-chief to go to war with the Japanese!" Yang Yuting couldn't help but said: "We just finished the fight with Russia, the military strength has not been restored, and the equipment is being updated. How can we start a war at this time?"
Yang Yuting said a word. Zhang Tingshu didn't know what to say. Zhang Henian suddenly felt angry and had no place to release it. He squatted on the ground with frustration on his face. He had just celebrated his victory, but something like this happened.
, he also knows that now that the Fengjun family has a great cause, it must consider the gains and losses in all aspects, and cannot be like the past, where it can be all-or-nothing.
But the more this happens, the more frustrated he feels. Although he has become stronger, he still cannot maintain his dignity, which makes people feel crazy.
"Stand up!" Zhang Tinglan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "Did I say bow to the Japanese? I just want to find a suitable way that will not affect the overall situation in the country or let the conflict get out of control."
Zhang Henian suddenly stood up, with a smile on his face: "Commander, I know you have a way, tell me quickly, I will do it now!"
Zhang Tinglan also shook his head: "If I have a way, I don't have to worry, but a way has to be figured out. Let's go see the sacrificed soldiers first and understand the situation clearly. Maybe we can find a suitable way."
After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, several people followed him. They came to the military camp together. Far away, the military camp was already boiling. Countless soldiers had put on neat military uniforms and were ready for battle.
As soon as they saw Zhang Tinglan and others coming, someone shouted loudly: "Commander, give the order to start a war with little Japan and drive them all out of the three eastern provinces!"
The shouts were deafening and the crowd was excited. When Zhang Tinglan saw this situation, he immediately felt a thorn in the side. The morale of the military could not be discouraged. Especially since China had been poor and weak for a long time, the morale of the people had declined to the extreme. The victory in the Far East made the soldiers regain their strength.
Confidence has been built up, but this confidence is still fragile and cannot withstand blows.
If this matter is not handled well, it may have terrible consequences. I have to say that the Japanese seized the opportunity very well. It was just when Fengjun was rebuilding his military morale and the phoenix was reborn that they suddenly poured a basin of cold water on it.
Fengjun had also fought against the Japanese in the past, but at that time the Japanese were bent on preserving their interests in the Northeast, so they were wary and restrained their hands. Now that Fengjun has risen, Japan's interests in southern Manchuria have been shaky, so they simply abandoned it
concerns.
It would be better if Fengjun retreated. If he did not retreat, the worst he could do would be to abandon the interests of South Manchuria and then induce Fengjun to confront Japan, dragging down Fengjun's energy and restricting Fengjun's rise.
Seeing through the danger of the Japanese move, Zhang Tinglan frowned and walked to the middle of the school ground without saying a word. There was a stretcher on the ground, with a young soldier lying on it, and several others wrapped in bandages around him.
The soldier is crying bitterly.
When the commander came, they all stood up. Zhang Henian hurriedly introduced the situation to Zhang Tinglan: "Commander, the soldier who died was named Anshun. He was my subordinate. His marksmanship was very good. More Russians died in his hands than
He has ten children, and he is smart, studious, lively and clever..." At this point, Zhang Henian was a little unable to continue.
The other soldiers also clenched their fists tightly, and their eyes seemed to have flames coming out.
Zhang Tinglan looked at the sacrificed soldier and walked to his side silently. He was a handsome young man who seemed to be less than twenty years old and in his best years. His eyes were not closed and he seemed to be recovering from it.
It can emit angry light, making people extremely heartbroken to see it.
Zhang Tinglan deliberately closed his eyes, but he raised his hand halfway and took it back again. He slowly stood up from the ground, looked at the other soldiers, and said in a deep voice: "You are all soldiers, not reckless men.
Stay calm and tell me first what is going on and what are the characteristics of the Japanese you are fighting with?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Guiwu hurriedly stood up: "Commander, four brothers and I went out to relax today. We had dinner in a restaurant at noon. Suddenly more than 20 Japanese ronin came and asked us to give up the table.
We went out and said something about Chinese people. We had a quarrel and then started fighting. They all had samurai swords. We could only use tables, chairs and benches to fight back. As a result, Anshun was injured and tried to save us.
, he blocked two knives with his body and lost too much blood, so he died!"
While they were talking, the joints of Liu Guiwu, He Yuanfang and others had turned white, and their nails were dug deeply into their flesh.
Zhang Tinglan listened carefully and then asked: "What do you think of the skills of those Japanese?"
He Yuanfang hurriedly said: "Commander, they cooperated very well. When fighting us, they formed battle formations, and their moves were ruthless and deadly."
Liu Guiwu also said: "I observed that the Japanese leader had a sneer on his face, which seemed to be a deliberate provocation. I feel that they are not ordinary ronin, otherwise they would never have such good cooperation."
Zhang Tinglan heard this, looked at Yang Yuting and Jiang Fangzhen again, and said with a sneer: "It seems that the situation is obvious. The Japanese played a trick with us, using regular troops to pretend to be ronin, and then attacked us. It can be said that
What a sinister intention!”
Having said this, Zhang Tinglan's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled happily. He had never thought of a solution, but now that he learned about the Japanese tricks, Zhang Tinglan suddenly had an idea.
"The Japanese can play like this, so let's fight fire with fire and let them kill themselves." After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Yang Yuting and others reacted fastest, and they all looked happy. Sure enough, this method is the best.
"Ling Ge, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll be waiting for the good news in the commander's mansion." Zhang Tinglan laughed loudly and returned to the commander's mansion.
In the afternoon of the same day, Fengjun announced a temporary extension of the half-day holiday. Some soldiers responsible for investigation had already gone to the streets to find out the situation, and others followed suit.
Zhang Tinglan ignored all of this and went directly back to the back house. After coaxing her daughter, she hugged her daughter-in-law and had a good sleep. The next day, when Zhang Tinglan was washing up, Shen Hua hurried over.
"Commander, the Japanese Consul General Yoshida Shigeru is here. He has made a solemn protest to us and is about to see you!"
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "I'm waiting for him too, let's go over and have a look."
Zhang Tinglan strode to the living room, where a Japanese man wearing a kimono had already been sitting. His face was full of anger. When he saw Zhang Tinglan getting up, he stood up suddenly.
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, last night, Fengjun soldiers launched a large-scale attack on three hotels. More than 20 Japanese soldiers and foreigners were injured, and ten of them died. You must bear all the consequences!"
"Mr. Yoshida Shigeru, Fengjun has always had strict military discipline. How could something like this happen? Are the soldiers you mentioned wearing military uniforms? How can you prove that they are Fengjun?"
"Hmph, don't use clever words to defend yourself. Although they are not wearing military uniforms, their actions are completely unique to soldiers. You used such despicable means to assassinate the warriors of Japan. You must make compensation, otherwise you will have to bear the consequences.
Japan’s anger.”
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "No matter what, if the Japanese died in Fengtian, we are responsible. You say there are ten people in total, and I will definitely compensate!"
As he spoke, Zhang Tinglan took out a check for two thousand yuan from his pocket, then took out his checkbook and wrote out one for eighteen thousand yuan.
"This is your standard, please accept it!" (To be continued...)
