After years of tempering, Zhang Tinglan has long realized the realm of "false is true and false is true", and will never admit that there is such a thing as gold.

"I believe that all of this should be due to wrong information. In our era, if someone still dreams of getting the legendary treasure, it can only be said to be too naive. Feng Jun entered Russia to destroy a The Russian army, which is potentially hostile to us, is a very normal military action."

"No, the tsar's gold is not a legend, but a real thing!" This time it was Bowers who spoke. He is a special representative sent by the United Kingdom. With the halo of the British Empire, this person is still full of arrogance. .But Zhang Tinglan didn't take him seriously for a long time. The First World War has passed, and the down-and-out phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken. The British are also in extreme embarrassment. , no wonder they are so obsessed with gold.

Bowles said: "The empire already has definite information. Kolchak has carried a batch of gold, which has been transported to the Far East, and now it has fallen into the hands of Feng Jun. Zhang patrol envoy, I want to remind you , Kolchak owed the British a huge amount of arms money and must be repaid, so this gold does not belong to the Fengjun, and you must hand it over!"

Compared with the shame, the Japanese are not as good as the British enlightenment teacher. He sold Kolchak arms, but they were all cash, and they extorted at two or three times the price.Later, Kolchak accepted Fengjun's proposal in a fit of anger, and instead purchased arms from Fengjun.

As a result, the British are now brazenly saying that Kolchak is in arrears with their arms payments. The size of the British Empire is just on the face.

"Since you say that Kolchak is carrying gold, you might as well call Mr. Kolchak and see what evidence he has."

"You?" Ballston was immediately blocked by this sentence. Everyone wanted to get gold, and Kolchak became the biggest stumbling block. After the Czech Army captured him.It was given to the majority party, and most of them have been executed now, where can I find it.

Bowles rolled his eyes, and said again: "Inspector Zhang, you are making unreasonable words. I think it is necessary to set up an investigation team, and the big powers must jointly investigate. Find out the whereabouts of the gold." [

"Any enemy who invades China's territory will be hit by emotion. Fengjun will never let mermaid go. It's wishful thinking to just find excuses to violate China's sovereignty!"

Feng Jun had just defeated the Japanese.With the prestige of victory, Zhang Tinglan would not be intimidated by big words, and directly rejected Bowers' proposal without mercy.

"Zhang, the United States does not have the slightest idea of ​​infringing on China's sovereignty!" In one sentence, Bakel indirectly denied Powers' proposal. He said with a smile: "The gold issue should be investigated, but I don't think it is The most important issue at hand. As a common ally against the majority party. We should coordinate relations and prevent military conflicts, especially between China and Japan, maintaining peaceful cooperation is the most important.”

The United States became the number one rich man in the world during the First World War. Although they coveted that bit of gold, they have not yet reached the point where they can't see Mount Tai. They hope to maintain the balance in the Far East.In the name of dealing with the majority party, China and Japan are brought under the banner of the United States.

Baker mentioned the Japanese.The Japanese Consul General Shigeru Yoshida on the side had a gloomy face. His predecessor was Masasuke Akajiri, who had dealt with Feng Jun several times. Masasuke Akajiri did not take advantage of it, and was made ashamed. In the end, the Japanese government ended his term early. Replaced by Shigeru Yoshida.

Yoshida Shigeru is also famous in later generations.The important prime minister who laid the foundation of Japan after the war laid the foundation for economic take-off, but this guy actually slipped through the net in the first half of his life.It is a historical irony that he actively interfered in the Chinese civil war, searched for agents everywhere, and did countless crimes. In the end, he escaped trial and climbed to the high position of prime minister.

At this time, Yoshida Shigeru had not long been a diplomat, and it was the most rampant time. He stared at Zhang Tinglan arrogantly, and then said loudly: "If the Empire and Fengjun want to cooperate, they must agree to two prerequisites. Hand it over to the empire, and the second is to admit that the attack on the imperial soldiers was wrong and compensate the empire for its losses. Besides, the empire will never agree to any peaceful proposal."

Zhang Tinglan glanced at the representatives of the United States, Britain and France, and then said with a smile: "I repeat, Fengjun has no gold at all, and naturally there is no question of handing it over to Japan. But we might as well make an assumption. If there is gold, what will happen?" Who should I give it to?"

"Of course, the first thing to do is to compensate for the ammunition supplies. The British Empire government must not suffer losses." Bowles also said loudly.

Locke, the representative of France, also said: "Yes, Kolchak also owes France a huge loan, which must be dealt with first."

When Shigeru Yoshida heard the opinions of Britain and France, his nose suddenly became distorted. The two countries are too shameful, even for the sake of gold, they don't even want their face.

"The gold was obtained by the Fengjun, who snatched the empire first. It has nothing to do with Britain and France. As for the issue of arms funds, it can be discussed later."

Bowers shook his head and said, "Mr. Shigeru Yoshida, do you have any proof that the gold is from Japan? The original owner of the gold was the Russian government. Did you get it from the Russians?"

"The Russian tsarist government has been overthrown. Gold is the Lord's property. Whoever gets it will keep it. The imperial army..." Shigeru Yoshida wanted to go on, but suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly shut up.

Zhang Tinglan laughed and said: "Mr. Yoshida's meaning is really interesting. Those who are virtuous live in it, and those who are virtuous lose it. According to you, before you get the gold, Feng Jun has already got it. You even touch it." How can you say it’s yours if you haven’t come across it yet?” [

Dogs of Britain, France, and Japan bit dogs, but put aside the responsibility of Fengjun. Yoshida Shigeru's face flushed red, and the veins on his forehead collapsed. He said loudly: "The imperial government has [-] troops stationed in the Far East. This is the imperial government." With confidence, the gold must be handed over to the imperial government, otherwise the empire will have to take tough measures to get back the gold that belongs to the empire!"

Baker frowned, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Yoshida, the United States insists on solving the problem peacefully. There should be no military conflict between China and Japan. Solving the problem with military power alone will help."

Bowles is also quite dissatisfied with Japan's attitude. These little people are so greedy that they want to eat alone, and they don't even keep the British Empire. How can he agree, so he also said: "The British Empire is also unwilling. Seeing the use of violence to solve problems, both parties must carefully consider their own attitudes."

The representatives of these countries sat together like dogs, but when it came to actual interests, they bit each other like dogs.It is also a good thing for Feng Jun that they are in chaos.

Zhang Tinglan said: "We don't know the so-called gold issue at all. If someone wants to use such an unfounded thing as an excuse to invade Fengjun, we will take decisive military actions to defend China's sacred territory. Give in!"

At this point in the negotiation, there is really no need to continue. Everyone has their own confidantes, and there is no common language at all, so they can only leave in a hurry.

After these guys left, Zhang Tinglan immediately called together his civil and military officials, informed everyone about the situation, and asked for everyone's opinions. Yang Yuting took the lead and said: "The Japanese are brutal, and we can only deal with them with a strong confrontation. We must not back down." , I suggest adjusting the deployment of the army and targeting the Siberian Railway. The current force situation is in our favor. Most of the Japanese army is in the Far East, and the domestic forces still need to be mobilized. Once the war starts, the Fengjun must use the fastest speed to eat the Far East. The Japanese forces were then concentrating on countering threats emerging from Korea and from the sea."

Japan's current standing army is less than 30, and Siberia's army accounts for one-third, and they are all the most elite forces. Once they are all wiped out, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Japan, and it will win the Fengjun an opportunity.

"Whether you like it or not, the Japanese have already threatened war, and we cannot compromise." Zhang Tinglan said solemnly: "We must use strong actions to fight for peace instead of begging on our knees. The entire army must be ready to fight. The Second Division and the Fourth Division of the Frontier Defense Army were transferred to the direction of Khabarovsk, and made an offensive posture to cut off the connection with the Japanese army in the Far East at any time."

Japan's national strength is far stronger than that of the Feng army, but they are too greedy, and they are spread all over thousands of kilometers in Siberia, which overturns the taboo of military strategists who disperse their forces.Moreover, they are in a foreign land, full of guerrillas of the Russian majority party, and forces opposing them everywhere, and it is wishful thinking to want to withdraw quickly.

What Zhang Tinglan is most afraid of is that the Japanese, regardless of the losses of these soldiers, will carry out a general mobilization and fight an all-out war with the Feng army.Once it reaches that point, when it is time to really compete for national strength, Fengjun is still far behind Japan, and the chances of winning are really slim.Fortunately, the Japanese are ambitious, and they are still competing with the United States and Britain for hegemony in the Asia-Pacific, and they did not concentrate on dealing with China, which gave Fengjun an opportunity.

"In addition to the regular troops, the special forces and the air force will be dispatched to enter Russia, destroy the Siberian railway, and delay the actions of the Japanese army. Three mixed brigades will be added along the Yalu River to prepare for defense, and an air force will be stationed in Fengcheng Brigade, threatening the Yalu River Bridge. In short, we must put on a tough enough stance to let the Japanese understand that once war breaks out, their forces in the Far East will collapse.”

Jiang Dengxuan also said: "The commander-in-chief's arrangements are wise. We must let the Japanese retreat. If they don't retreat, we will beat them until they retreat!"

Immediately after the meeting, the Fengtian Times published a comment titled "If you want to fight, then fight!", which immediately ignited the fire in the Far East! (to be continued...)
