Fengxian Jiangshan

"Zhi Weng, the Japanese are ready to take action against the Fengjun. If this evil can really be eliminated, the central government can have authority and the military and government can be unified." Jin Yunpeng reported the situation to Lao Duan with a smile on his face.

Duan Qirui's face seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost, he waved his hand abruptly, interrupted Jin Yunpeng's words, and growled, "You idiot, you are helping the Japanese, you can act secretly, why are you so blatant? Don't you feel ashamed enough?"

Jin Yunpeng helped the Japanese a lot, and he thought he would be praised and rewarded by Lao Duan, but he didn't know that Lao Duan was so stern, which really puzzled him.

"Zhi Weng, I follow your instructions, what did I do wrong, please explain clearly?"

"Explain?" Old Duan stared his eyes round, and said with a sneer, "Are you completely confused? Aren't you afraid of all these rumors?"

After Lao Duan finished speaking, he casually threw a newspaper in front of Jin Yunpeng, and he hurriedly picked it up tremblingly. Just after taking a look, Jin Yunpeng's face also changed color.

The Beiyang government assisted the Japanese and seized a large number of Fengjun's machinery and equipment. Jin Yunpeng thought this was a blow to Fengjun and weakened the strength of Fengjun, which deserves great praise.But in the eyes of Chinese people, it is completely different. Both Beiyang and Fengjun are Chinese.

The two sides can fight, but helping outsiders, acting as lackeys of the Japanese, and entrapping one's own people, this is a typical traitorous behavior!

There was the Qingdao issue before, and now there is the Lianyungang incident. No matter from which point of view, the Duan Qirui government has completely become a slave of the Japanese.How can such a government be convincing? The tide of downturn has blown up again, and it is more serious than before, not just in the academic circles.Others who were dissatisfied with Duan Qirui's administration also came forward.Especially the direct line members are also eager to try to replace Duan Qirui.

Even within the Anhui Clan, there were different voices. Those local princes who still had a hint of patriotism felt ashamed of what Lao Duan had done.

Duan Qirui held the newspaper in his hand, and the words on it seemed to have turned into daggers, which directly stabbed Duan Qirui's heart, cutting him into 1 yuan.

"Hey, when Yuan Gongbao proclaimed himself emperor, everyone betrayed their relatives. Duan has come to this point in just over three years. Who else in the world is willing to support Duan? I'm ashamed To Beiyang. Shame on the people!"

Jin Yunpeng saw that Duan Qirui's tone was full of desolation, and he also felt something was wrong.He hurriedly said: "Zhi Weng, don't pay attention to the nonsense of these newspapers. I will go and lead people now and arrest them all. If anyone dares to chew their tongues again, I will kill him."

"Hmph. Shut up, don't you think you've caused enough trouble?"

Just when Duan Qirui was angry, someone came to report suddenly that the Japanese Minister Yukichi Kobata came to pay a visit.In the face of these Japanese, the old duan also had mixed feelings. He needed the support of the Japanese and felt a great threat to the Japanese wolf ambitions. The old duan knew in his heart that Zhang Zuolin was killed by the Japanese. , if anyone doesn't follow the Japanese mind, maybe he will be treated in the same way.

Thinking of this, Lao Duan actually felt a sense of sadness for the death of a rabbit. He even had a little envy for Zhang Zuolin. At least when Lao Zhang died, his reputation was not bad. Everyone in the whole country knew that he was a man and did not seek refuge with the Japanese.If it's his turn, I'm afraid that he won't even have this posthumous name, and his reputation will be completely ruined, and he will never recover.

Old Duan's heart became more and more desolate, but Xiao Banyouji was beaming. After seeing Duan Qirui, Xiao Ban said with a smile: "Mr. Duan, the imperial government is very grateful for your help. The imperial government has approved to provide you with 500 million yen." loans, and there will be loans and arms assistance in the future.”

When Jin Yunpeng heard that the Japanese gave another 500 million, he also showed joy on his face, and hurriedly said: "Ziong, Japan is indeed a good friend, and the benefits of cooperating with Japan are still great."

The old Duan didn't respond to Jin Yunpeng's words, but asked indifferently: "Mr. Minister, you don't have conditions. If you want me to do something, just say it."

"Mr. Duan is wise, and the matter is very simple. The Fengjun smuggled prohibited equipment. The empire believes that it is necessary to carefully investigate all the factories in Fengtian to find out the prohibited equipment."

"Fengjun is not a piece of paper, will they allow you to search?"

Kohata Yoshikichi sneered, "Some things they can't just refuse if they want to. The imperial government's will is very firm. The Japanese navy and army are ready to take tough measures at any time!"

The old Duan was not stupid. Hearing this, he didn't understand what the Japanese meant. He asked in surprise, "Are you planning to use force against the three eastern provinces?"

Xiao Banyouji frowned, and said with a smile: "It's not about using force against Manchuria, but about dismantling Fengjun's industrial power and maintaining the balance in the Far East."

"It's nothing more than an excuse. If you don't occupy the three eastern provinces, how can you release Fengjun's industry!"

"Mr. Duan, of course you can understand that the empire now needs your cooperation. As long as you are willing to provide convenience for the empire, the empire can hand over the control of the three eastern provinces to you after the empire ends its military operations against the Feng army. In this way, your Only when the central government is justified, can it command the world, and the empire will provide more help, and China and Japan will coexist and prosper."

After hearing that the Japanese were going to use force against the Feng army, Jin Yunpeng's eyes suddenly lit up. He had long wanted to become a tour envoy to the three eastern provinces and dominate one side.If the Japanese can really fulfill their promise, maybe his chance will come.

"Zhi Weng, Fengjun disobeyed orders and disobeyed the central government. It should have been dealt with a long time ago. If the Japanese side is willing to take action, it is also a good thing, and you will agree."

"Feng Jun refuses to obey orders, that is an internal matter, no outsiders need to intervene!"

"Hmph, Duan Gong, don't forget that the forces in this place are not something you can deal with. Without the empire's intervention, Beiyang would have been replaced by Fengjun long ago!"

"Victory or defeat is determined by God. Duan's talent is not as good as others. Whether he loses or dies is God's will. But there is one thing, Duan must not learn from Wu Sangui and use his teacher to help him. That is to leave behind forever Notorious!"

Among the commanders-in-chief of Beiyang, there are too many who betrayed the country's rights and interests, but when it came to the last moment, they exceeded the bottom line, and few were willing to be traitors willingly.Old Duan also knew in his heart that once the Japanese attacked the three northeastern provinces, Beiyang, as the central government, would stand by and watch Japan invade and occupy Chinese territory.That would be surrendering to the enemy and betraying the country, and he would only bear the eternal infamy. He was absolutely unwilling to do it.

Xiao Banyouji sneered: "Mr. Duan, whether you like it or not, the imperial government will take action against the Fengjun. They will never be allowed to provoke the dignity of the empire."

After throwing down a harsh word, Xiao Banyouji turned and left.The old Duan looked more and more lonely.As if he had aged ten years in an instant, he sat slumped on the chair, repeating in his mouth: "It's better to go back, it's better to go back..."

"Humble words, the Japanese are actively mobilizing troops and generals. They have transferred a cavalry brigade from China to Dalian. In addition, they have increased the garrison in North Korea, and the North China garrison in Tianjin has also doubled. Judging from the current posture, they are very promising. The posture of using force against Fengjun."

Zhang Tinglan listened to Yang Yuting's acceptance.My mind was spinning rapidly, and I said with a sneer for a long time: "Since the Japanese have opened their posture, we can't fall behind, and we can't just put on a posture of being beaten. Let the border guards prepare for battle, as long as the Japanese If you dare to use force, you will knock down Shuangchengzi, cut off the Siberian Railway, and trap [-] Japanese to death in the Far East."

"Humble words, such an arrangement may cause dissatisfaction among the great powers."

"I can't control that much anymore. At the moment of life and death, we should fight hard. We must not lose our momentum in front of the Japanese."

Hearing Zhang Tinglan's words, Yang Yuting said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, do you really have this plan, or do you want to bluff? I don't think you really want to die?"

Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "Linge knows my heart well. You can't just think about success in everything, but also success. This attacking posture is both hypocritical and real. If everything is irreversible, then If you fight hard, there is still a slight chance of winning. But after all, I still hope to beat the big powers with this gesture and let them come forward to prevent the Japanese from using force."

Yang Yuting nodded: "If you prepare for Fengjun for another five years, the effect will be much better. It is indeed not suitable to start a war with Japan, but you deliberately revealed the batch of machines in Lianyungang, although doing so can damage Lao Duan's prestige. , but it also created an excuse for the Japanese to send troops, isn’t it a bit unwise?”

"Neighborhood, the factory is there. We want to hide it. How long can we hide it? If the Japanese really find those key equipment, I'm afraid they will do it right away. Now let them see some sub-level The advanced equipment can just confuse them and make them misjudge the strength of the Feng army. It can even dispel the suspicion of the great powers about us, counting birds with one stone!"

When Yang Yuting heard this, he suddenly realized that Zhang Tinglan's calculation was indeed correct. Lianyungang's equipment mainly produces artillery and shells, as well as supporting power generation equipment.From these things, it can be concluded that Fengjun has not completely solved the problem of artillery production. This is a wrong signal, which can reduce the Japanese's fear of Fengjun.

"Zhuoyan, this is a great trick!" Yang Yuting stretched out his thumb, and he asked with a smile: "Zhuoyan, the bombs should be almost ready now, when will we bring those precious machines back?"

"Lingge, it's already on the way, and it will be transported back to the northeast soon."

What Zhang Tinglan said was right. In the Northwest Pacific Ocean, three freighters were overcoming obstacles and sailing towards Temple Street.Temple Street is located at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River and is Russia's largest port city in the Far East.Originally owned by China, it was forcibly occupied by the Russians.

Compared with the busy southeast Pacific route, there are few ships in the Northwest Pacific Ocean, and there are not many business transactions. The most ships on this route are from the United States to the Russian Far East, mainly to transport war supplies and support the White Army.

Since Russia occupied the outer northeast, the sea outlets of the northern line of the three northeastern provinces disappeared, which caused a thinking inertia, thinking that if the Fengjun wants to transport equipment by sea, it must go to the Bohai Sea, or to the southeast coastal ports. , and then transferred to the northeast.

Both the Luna Goddess and the Lianyungang incident confirmed this idea. At this time, the Japanese and Western spies were staring at it, and they did not want any more key equipment to be shipped to Fengtian.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan took advantage of this inertia of thinking and did the opposite, using the Heilongjiang roadway to transport the equipment back to the three eastern provinces. This is the safest and safest choice.

But if you want to transport the equipment back smoothly, you still have to face a big trouble, that is, there are still a large number of Japanese troops stationed in the Russian Far East. These people are like dogs, guarding the place firmly and not solving them Yes, there are still great difficulties in transporting weapons in.

Just as the three freighters were rushing back, it was time to use another pawn.Ivanov convened a meeting of all the top leaders of the majority party in the Far East. At the meeting, Ivanov said excitedly: "Comrades, the Red Army has defeated Kolchak's troops in succession and will soon reach the Far East. At this time, we must also take action to smash the Japanese ruling order with an iron fist, liberate the Far East, and drive out the invaders!"

"Ulla, Ulla!"

Ivanov's speech won the approval of everyone, and the applause was louder and louder. The Red Army in the Far East finally took action. (To be continued..)
