Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 301: Persuading Zhang Xueliang! The Japanese have wolfish ambitions!
"According to my understanding, after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan spent about 2 billion on military expenditures and even owed England about 800 million in foreign debts, paying off all its assets since the Meiji Restoration. In particular, Tsarist Russia was extremely stubborn. Even after being defeated, it did not pay compensation like the Qing Dynasty did. Instead, it demanded land and insisted on continuing the war.

The country has reached the point of collapse.”

Zhang Xueliang also brought up a historical fact to support his argument.

"The Japanese are already scared. The crisis caused by the Great Depression has forced their leaders to cut military spending and disband their troops."

He narrowed his eyes and revealed a secret to Bao Guowei.

"Do you know how many people the Kwantung Army has in the Northeast now? There are only less than 30,000 people!"

Bao Guowei was so angry at Zhang Xueliang that he laughed and couldn't help but ask back.

"Then how many troops does Brother Hanqing have in the Northeast?"

"It is naturally inconvenient to disclose the specific data, but I can give a rough figure so that Brother Bingwen can rest assured." Zhang Xueliang patted his chest, appearing extremely confident.

“I’m not bragging, but the Fengtian Army currently has about 300,000 troops under its command. Even if I enter the country to deal with the Central Plains War, there will be at least hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the Northeast.

With dozens of tanks and hundreds of aircraft, the Fengtian Arsenal is one of the best equipment manufacturing factories in Asia."

Zhang Xueliang chuckled.

"Even if I am asked to fight Chiang Kai-shek, I have the confidence to defeat this bald Chang."

The more Bao Guowei listened, the more ironic he found it.

Don’t I know that your Fengtian Army is the most powerful army in China today?
Everyone knows this.

But who could have expected that in the crisis a year later, the Fengtian clique would be so useless as to hand over the entire Northeast to others?

For a moment, Bao Guowei was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Zhang Xueliang felt very strange, and smiled and patted Bao Guowei on the shoulder and said: "Does Bingwen think that I will betray my country and then surrender to the Japanese? You are worrying too much. Since the change of flag..."

"All right."

Bao Guowei interrupted the other party, then narrowed his eyes and asked back.

"Don't you understand the true face of the Japanese?"

After hearing this, Zhang Xueliang's face changed and a picture appeared in his mind.

After the Huanggutun Incident, Zhang Zuolin was lying on the hospital bed with a huge bloody hole in his throat. When Zhang Xueliang arrived, only a cold corpse was left.

He couldn't help but feel sad, as this was a scene he would never forget.

Zhang Xueliang let out a breath and said angrily.

"I will make the Japanese pay for their blood debt with blood in this lifetime."

Bao Guowei thought that the other party had come to his senses and couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Did I really change history?
But then I heard Zhang Xueliang say that.

"But we still need to wait for the right time. What I am involved in now is not just my own grudges, but the hope of the nation. I cannot act rashly."

He smiled, patted Bao Guowei on the shoulder and said.

"Bingwen may be worrying too much. Is the Japanese crazy enough to go to war with us? The Japanese have long been in turmoil due to the economic depression and domestic crisis. You will see that when the Japanese change their cabinet next year, the new cabinet will definitely be conservative. They will not have the courage and energy to fight another 'snake swallowing an elephant' drama!"

Bao Guowei was speechless.

He could see that this person was already a little timid.

It is not known whether it was due to Zhang Zuolin’s death or the betrayal of his previous subordinates.

Deep down, Zhang Xueliang was avoiding and fearing war, so he would rather use these data to blind his eyes than to truly prepare for a war.

In short, Zhang Xueliang has now lost his blood.

After pondering for a while, Bao Guowei asked back.

"I don't know Hanqing, do you know the Japanese?"

"Ok?"

Zhang Xueliang said he was tired and was about to put the tea to his mouth when he looked at Bao Guowei with some surprise.

"The Japanese have a tradition of subordinates overthrowing their superiors since ancient times. Unlike us, in their history, it has never been uncommon for subordinates to replace their superiors, retainers to eliminate their masters, and samurai to usurp their lords.

The Shogun ruled the Japanese for more than 600 years, making the emperor a puppet and holding the real power.

The samurai class controlled the state power.

Speculation, gambling, and evil have always been in the blood of the Japanese, as can be seen from the Japanese pirates in the Ming and Qing dynasties."

Bao Guowei simply popularized the history of the Japanese to Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Xueliang was fascinated by it. He learned a lot about ancient history.

This was his first time coming into contact with the character and history of the Japanese.

“The success of the Meiji Restoration is another example, with lower- and middle-class samurai as the main force overthrowing the Tokugawa shogunate.

Hanqing, you may know more about the intelligence of various countries today than I do, but I can say that no one in this world knows the Japanese better than I do!
This is a group of evil people who cannot be predicted by common sense!"

Combining all the knowledge in his mind and the various behaviors of the Japanese in later generations, Bao Guowei can fully portray the image of the Japanese. Zhang Xueliang was stunned, obviously shocked by this argument.

Completely different from those scholars who only know how to talk big!

He deeply felt that the man in front of him was a man of great talent!
But then I heard Bao Guowei say that.

"The Japanese are different from us, they are more like a group of barbarians, and they can't learn to follow orders.

Judging from past experience, it is not impossible for the Japanese to get involved in Northeast China."

Letting out a breath, Bao Guowei felt a little emotional.

"Because Northeast China is too tempting, if the Japanese take it, it will be a good way to solve their domestic crisis. This kind of absurd behavior has happened before."

He looked at Zhang Xueliang again and said.

"Besides, Han Qing, don't you understand the backbone of the Chinese people today? Over the past few hundred years, the backbones of many people have been broken, and the dignity of the Chinese people has been trampled upon for decades. Even if they have ten times the strength of the Japanese, without backbone, they will still hand over the territory!"

backbone!

These words were like a steel needle, piercing Zhang Xueliang's heart and making him breathless for a moment.

He did not answer, nor did he dare to answer, because what Bao Guowei said was the truth.

When the country was in crisis, all the powerful people he saw were trying to protect themselves and were afraid of war and became turtles.

Chiang Kai-shek is like this, he only thinks about bullying his compatriots at home.

Even himself.
Bao Guowei looked at the other party intently. Zhang Xueliang's reaction had exceeded his expectations.

Having said so much, I have done my best.

Whether Zhang Xueliang listens or not depends on himself.

In fact, in Bao Guowei's view, the Fengtian warlords during this period faced the crisis next year.

It's like the "cowardly lizard" in later moba games.

Even though he had all six pieces of equipment, he didn't have the courage to go forward and start a fight, and in the end he was beaten to death.

There is a saying that courage is the seventh piece of equipment for a hero.

During this period, people like Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang certainly did not know about it.

It took Zhang Xueliang a long time to come back to his senses from this feeling.

He couldn't help clapping his hands to hide his embarrassment.

"It's so refreshing! It's so refreshing! Bingwen is really admirable!"

Zhang Xueliang's words were not sarcasm, but came from the heart.

"If I wasn't in this position, I would have been convinced by you. What a pity."

Bao Guowei shook his head, no longer expecting the other party to listen to him.

If he had listened, there wouldn't be so many regrets in history.

Zhang Xueliang seemed a little tired, he waved his hand and said.

"Turn around, Bingwen's words regarding diplomacy are indeed controversial, but his insights into the domestic situation are truly insightful and truly impressed me!
Looking at the world today, only Bingwen is my Zhuge! Today's conversation is also like the Longzhong Discussion!

Hahahahaha!
"

Zhang Xueliang gave a dry laugh, but Bao Guowei did not appreciate it and just drank his tea.

It's not that I'm angry, but I just feel powerless.

"Sixth son! Sixth son!"

Dadada! A figure suddenly rushed down from upstairs.

Bao Guowei turned around and saw that it was a young and beautiful woman.

But then Zhang Xueliang shook his head and laughed.

"You, you still can't help it!"

He quickly stood up and introduced himself.

"Bingwen, this is my wife, Zhao Yidi, Miss Zhao."

Miss Zhao Si walked up and looked at Zhang Xueliang with an unhappy face.

"Sixth son, I heard your conversation just now. I didn't want to come out, but I really couldn't help it."

“?” Zhang Xueliang was confused.

Miss Zhao Si took a deep breath, looked at Bao Guowei and said.

"I think what Mr. Bingwen said makes sense. We must be on guard against the Japanese!"
