Chapter 638: The Allies Who Made the Japanese Collapse
Chapter 638: The "ally" that caused the Japanese to collapse
Vladivostok, November 9 of the Republic of China.
After the Qingdao incident entered the climax, Yang Sen decided to take action!
Like all Chinese generals in the field, Yang Sen was granted arbitrary power to do whatever he felt necessary at any time.
Yang Sen only has one goal in mind:
How to regain as much of China’s lost territory as possible!
The situation in Vladivostok is very responsible. There are not only Russians, but also Japanese, British, and even Japanese troops here!
However, there has always been a saying that the most daring person under Wang Hengyue is Yang Sen!
"I would rather offend Wang Shuzhi than Yang Zihui."
This sentence refers to Yang Sen!
As soon as the general strike in Qingdao began, Yang Sen took advantage of the fact that all the Japanese attention was attracted to Qingdao and made a prompt decision to issue an ultimatum to the Russian army in Vladivostok:
In the 9th year of the Republic of China, that is, before November 12, 1920 AD, all "enemy troops" stationed in Vladivostok must evacuate Vladivostok, otherwise the Chinese Fourth Army will launch an attack!
In this ultimatum, the words "enemy army" are very important.
After various countries began to interfere in Russia, the "Far Eastern Republic" controlled by Soviet Russia was established in Chita Oblast, Amur Oblast, Khabarovsk Krai and Primorye Krai, with Vladivostok as the buffer point.
In April 1918, the Japanese-British coalition forces stationed in the Golden Horn and Vladivostok on the pretext that local Japanese-owned facilities were attacked, but no war broke out.
The Japanese-British Allied Forces were stationed in Vladivostok, while the troops of the "Far Eastern Republic" were stationed in the Vladivostok Fortress, known in Russia as "Vladivostok Fortress".
This fortress is extremely important. It can not only prevent the enemy from directly attacking from the sea, but also has strong defense. It consists of No. 1, 2, and 3 forts, No. 4 and 5 multi-faceted forts, and three spectacle forts. The forts are protected by parapets.
The trenches are connected.
During the Russo-Japanese War, the initially completed Vladivostok Fortress played an important role in preventing the Japanese army from occupying Vladivostok and was forced to shift their attack targets to the Liaodong Peninsula and Dalian.
After the Japanese and British forces entered Vladivostok, they reached a subtle tacit understanding with the "Far Eastern Republic". The city of Vladivostok was controlled by the Japanese and British forces, and the fortress was controlled by the Russians. They were not hostile to each other and lived in peace.
The British troops withdrew in October 1919, and now only the Japanese troops remained in Vladivostok.
In addition, in order to intervene in the Russian Revolution, the Japanese army had transferred a large portion of its troops from Vladivostok, so at this time there were only two squadrons of the Japanese army left in Vladivostok.
And by the "enemy army" mentioned by Jan Sen, do he mean the Russians or the Japanese? Or both?
As one of the intervening countries, China's attack on Soviet Russia and all the armies it controlled was completely "reasonable and legal", not to mention military operations to regain its own territory!
Although China and Japan had serious frictions in Qingdao, they existed as "allies" when it came to dealing with the Soviet-Russian revolution.
A relationship that makes people laugh and cry!
The Japanese couldn't protest even if they wanted to. Yang Sen could plausibly say that the "enemy army" refers to the enemy of Soviet Russia and is definitely not the "ally" of the "intervening country".
Of course, Yang Sen has already issued a warning. Before the ultimatum reaches the deadline, the Chinese will make every effort to regain Vladivostok. As an "ally", Japan, of course, can only assist the Chinese team to fight together...
When Wang Hengyue heard this situation, he almost burst into tears. How did Yang Sen come up with this?
China and Japan are confronting each other in Qingdao, and there is even the possibility of war. However, in Vladivostok, Yang Sen forced the Japanese to join the ranks of "allies"...
I really did the right thing when I used Janssen!
The Japanese government will not be able to come up with a response in the short term.
In Qingdao, the Chinese held a general strike to make Japan tired of answering the question. They also relied on the fact that they did not sign the Qingdao issue in the "Versailles Peace Treaty" to refuse to recognize Japan's status in Qingdao. They entered Qingdao openly and then used the help of European and American powers.
The "Nanjing Negotiations" were held, and now they are actually in Vladivostok, forcing Japan to become an "ally".
What's even more shocking is that after the ultimatum was issued, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Fourth Army, Yang Sen, met with the Japanese commander in Vladivostok, Ryumoto, and "sincerely" told his "allies":
"Attack, attack the Bolsheviks, and eliminate all our common enemies. I hope we can get help from Japan when we launch the attack. The Red Revolution must be eliminated together by us!"
Long Ben was stunned.
What is going on?
How could this short, seemingly unreasonable Chinese commander say such things to himself? Is there any reason in the world to forcibly win over "allies"?
China has brought over a whole legion and is determined to win Vladivostok, but Japan only has two squadrons in Vladivostok!
Except for the fortress, the Chinese can easily enter here, and the Japanese army has no ability to resist. However, Japan hopes that the Chinese can launch an attack on the Japanese army in Vladivostok. In this way, no matter from which aspect, Japan has the opportunity to directly send troops to intervene.
reason.
But that's not the case now...
Allies? China and Japan are now "allies"?
God knows!
Long Bentai urgently asked his superiors for instructions, but his superiors responded with silence to his subordinates...Obviously, his superiors did not have a good solution either...
The Americans are watching the joke, the British are watching the joke, and the French are watching the joke too!
Cunning, these Chinese are so cunning! Originally, the European and American powers were still worried that a war in Vladivostok would further worsen the situation in the Far East, but now it seems there is no need to worry at all.
The Chinese used their own wisdom to force Japan into an extremely embarrassing position...
At this time, Wang Hengyue also began to "add to the chaos". The day after his subordinates' ultimatum was issued, he published an article on "Fighting for Freedom, Peace, and Democracy":
"...The source of the riots comes from the Soviet Russian authorities. For freedom, peace, and democracy in the Far East, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and all other countries are fighting for this land....
..Although we have conflicts and frictions with some countries, this does not affect our determination...
Vladivostok is only China's inherent territory. In order to eliminate the red elements and regain our land, our army will make every effort... The Nanjing negotiations are imminent. The Chinese and Japanese armies in Vladivostok should join hands to eliminate all our common
Enemies, restore a completely free, peaceful, democratic Russia..."
A "just" Wang Hengyue, a Wang Hengyue who always puts himself at the "moral commanding heights". Of course, he is also a Wang Hengyue who makes Japan "dumbfounded".
Perhaps only such a head of state can bring out subordinates like Yang Sen...
On November 11, the day before Yang Sen’s ultimatum arrived, Long Bentai finally received the order:
"As the Chinese army has no intention of attacking the Japanese army, all Japanese troops stationed in Vladivostok should remain calm and must not have any friction with the Chinese troops..."
This decision of the Japanese is wise.
There were only two Japanese squadrons in Vladivostok, which were completely unable to withstand the Chinese attack, and now the Chinese were completely on the side of "moral justice".
Only the devil knows what is going on...
On November 12, 9th year of the Republic of China, the Chinese ** troops entered Vladivostok!
Long Bentai once again met Yang Sen, who gave him a headache. The difference was that this time they really became "allies"...
"What a beautiful place?" Yang Sen pointed in front of him and said: "This is our territory. It has been occupied by the Russians for a long time. Now it is finally back in our hands. Thanks to your help, Mr. Long Ben...
...Of course, the Russians are still entrenched in the fortress, Mr. Longben, I think we should continue to strengthen cooperation."
Long Ben was too embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"I remember the Russo-Japanese War." Yang Sen raised his finger: "The Japanese navy dispatched a squadron to raid. But with the fortress and the Russian cruiser fleet holding on, you did not capture this place, but it is different now. The fortress is completely
Isolated, I think they are trapped inside and won’t be able to hold on for long, right?”
Long Bentai opened his mouth...
Damn it!
After the Japanese army entered Vladivostok, there was no fighting with the Russians in the fortress, and the Russians could even openly come out to purchase food and water.
Therefore, the Russian supplies in the fortresses will be exhausted in no more than three days... Then, the Chinese can swagger and occupy those fortresses without firing a single shot.
Damn it! Damn it! Long Bentai kept cursing in his heart.
It has really become an "ally". In order to ensure the role of a "buffer point" and to maintain balance, Japan has invisibly done a big favor to the Chinese.
Who the hell came up with this? To ensure the role of "buffer point" and to maintain balance, those domestic decision-makers with their heads on their butts! Haven't you seen the Chinese snickering over there?
Are you calling the Japanese the number one idiots in the world?
Long Bentai sighed...
"Mr. Long Ben, there is no need to feel sad." Yang Sen said seriously: "Although you did not capture Vladivostok, but now, we will avenge you. Who made us allies?"
Long Bentai glanced at his opponent with a complicated expression.
"What a beautiful place, what a beautiful land." Yang Sen sighed with emotion, and then suddenly thought of something:
"Mr. Long Ben, I still have two bottles of good wine. I think we should celebrate properly. Don't refuse. Please allow me to express my gratitude no matter what!"
