Blood-quenched mountains and rivers

Yang Wei defended his prestige based on Hangzhou City, and the news that the Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated immediately spread across the country. Qi Xieyuan even sent a special telegram, showing great praise to Yang Wei. Yang Wei couldn't help but sneered in his heart. You just say a few words later and it's over?No matter how I fight the Northern Expeditionary Army today, the shells will fall on you Qi Xieyuan in the future.

It has to be said that the city of Hangzhou in the past few days is indeed very lively. Apart from Qi Xieyuan, there are also many "noble guests" that Yang Wei did not expect.

After learning that Yang Wei had defeated the Northern Expeditionary Army, Ikeda Michio personally rushed from Shanghai to Hangzhou. As soon as they met, he praised Yang Wei and said repeatedly: "Commander Yang's strength is very satisfactory. The Empire of Japan will thank you very much for this." talents."

Another one came to thank him, Yang Wei sipped his coffee in silence with his legs crossed, completely ignoring Michio Ikeda's words.

Yang Wei kept silent and turned a deaf ear to his own words. This made Michio Ikeda feel a little embarrassed. He forced a smile on his face and said: "The victory over the Northern Expeditionary Army this time is for the Great Japanese Empire and for Commander Yang. Great crisis, when the time comes, the Empire of Japan will definitely reward Commander Yang heavily."

Hearing this, Yang Wei cursed in his heart, but there was no anger on his face, but a long sigh of regret.

This sigh immediately made Michio Ikeda a little nervous. He looked at Yang Wei suspiciously and said, "Commander Yang, did you encounter any difficulties? Is there anything we can do to help you? For the alliance of the Great Japanese Empire Army, we are very generous."

Yang Wei pursed his lips, and said with a gloomy face: "Mr. Ikeda has high hopes for this battle. Yang Wei is very clear about this, but this time I am afraid that Mr. Ikeda will be disappointed."

Michio Ikeda immediately became nervous when he heard this, leaned closer to Yang Wei, and said in surprise, "Why did Commander Yang say that? Isn't it true that Commander Yang has an absolute advantage in the current situation?"

Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders, shook his head pretentiously, exaggerated the strength of the Northern Expedition Army with all his heart, and said anxiously: "Mr. Ikeda doesn't know, the artillery attacks of the past few days have exhausted the ammunition. The arsenal is already in shambles, and this battle may not be able to continue."

Michio Ikeda looked at Yang Wei. At first, the Japanese were like the powers of other countries. After the Northern Expedition Army swept Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, the powers of the countries had given up the idea of ​​completely defeating the Northern Expedition Army. That's the best result.

But the appearance of Yang Wei made them see hope. After learning the news of the heavy casualties of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the most excited thing was the Japanese side that had provided Yang Wei with weapons as an alliance and aid friend. After this battle, Yang Wei's The strength makes the Japanese very excited. If they can control Yang Wei's army, they can control China without a single soldier.

Ever since, Michio Ikeda didn't have time to think about whether Yang Wei's words were true or not, he just wanted to win Yang Wei over with all his heart, so after hearing that he was short of ammunition, Michio Ikeda immediately agreed: "Commander Yang, don't worry, this Leave this kind of thing to us, as long as you can defeat the Northern Expedition, it doesn't matter how many weapons you want."

Michio Ikeda said this confidently, but Yang Wei only sneered in his heart. The Japanese thought they sold weapons to the Northern Expedition Army at a high price, and then used the military expenses of the Northern Expedition Army to purchase weapons to support Yang Wei. In fact, they did not move a penny. It was just watching the Northern Expeditionary Army spend their money and efforts and was beaten up by Yang Wei.However, only Yang Wei knew exactly where the weapons provided by the Japanese would be used in the future.

When Michio Ikeda was eloquently expressing his sincerity in cooperating with Yang Wei, Fang Shaohua knocked on the door, stood by the door and said, "Commander Yang, we have a visitor."

guest?Michio Ikeda is also a guest himself, so after hearing Fang Shaohua say these two words, Michio Ikeda immediately said in a strange way: "It seems that Commander Yang is really full of people here."

Both Yang Wei and Fang Shaohua tacitly turned a deaf ear to Michio Ikeda's words. Fang Shaohua continued: "It's Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke who came to visit."

Regarding Lieutenant Colonel Hans Remke's sudden visit, Yang Wei felt a little confused, but going to see Hans Remke was much better than dealing with Michio Ikeda here.Yang Wei immediately turned his head and said to Michio Ikeda, "Sorry, I have other guests."

After Yang Wei finished speaking, he was about to leave. Michio Ikeda immediately ran up to him and said, "Commander Yang, are you going to meet a German? How did Commander Yang get in touch with the Germans?"

Without turning his head, Yang Wei said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you, so I have nothing to say."

Michio Ikeda was so angry that he ran up to block Yang Wei, jumped up and pointed at Yang Wei's nose and said, "Commander Yang, you have accepted the weapons of our Great Japanese Empire, shouldn't your actions be reported to our Great Japanese Empire? ?"

"report"?As soon as these two words fell into his ears, Yang Wei immediately felt uncomfortable all over. He sneered and said as it should: "Should I? I don't think it's necessary."

Michio Ikeda immediately put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "Then our weapons..."

Yang Wei didn't lack weapons at all, but he just felt that the Japanese were watching the show with arms folded, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't tap them for weapons. In Yang Wei's opinion, it was ridiculous and nonsense. He looked at Michio Ikeda coldly, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if Mr. Ikeda doesn't want to provide weapons. At worst, if Mr. Yang can't win, just admit defeat."

Yang Wei's words made Michio Ikeda froze in place, not even going on the road.Yang Wei's judgment was correct. At this time, the person who cares most about winning or losing is not himself. The Japanese and multinational powers pay more attention to winning or losing than Yang Wei. Once the threat of defeat is threatened, even Michio Ikeda will only Can be at the mercy of Yang Wei.

Michio Ikeda gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Wei's back. If Yang Wei colluded with the Germans, the Japanese would probably be thrown aside.But if they fall out with Yang Wei right now and Hangzhou City falls, Japan will be the biggest victim.

At the Washington Conference in [-], the United States proposed an open-door policy, and Japan was forced to surrender all its privileges in the Jiaodong Peninsula, so it had to focus on the land of Manchuria.If Hangzhou falls and Qi Xieyuan loses the battle, the Northern Expeditionary Army will point directly at Zhang Zuolin of the Feng family. Once the Feng family is defeated, China will be reunified.

"If you want to conquer China, you must first conquer Manchuria and Mongolia; if you want to conquer the world, you must first conquer China." This is the ambition of the Japanese to conquer the world, and if a series of chain reactions are considered, the Japanese must think about it. Do everything possible to help Yang Wei defend Hangzhou, even Michio Ikeda can only swallow his anger.

Michio Ikeda looked in the direction of the battlefield through the window, and Yang Wei was the only hope for the Japanese right now.
