The Republic of Heroes

Xu Shuzheng attaches great importance to the safety and progress of Wu Xiaoliang and the Suidong Army, so he hopes that the State Council will approve material support for Suidong and send an additional brigade to solve their embarrassing situation in the north.

However, Jin Yunpeng, who has just entered the State Council, does not think so. Siberia is a bitterly cold place with a sparse population, and it is also a foreign country. If you send precious troops to grab a piece of territory that is not shit, let alone whether you can gain a firm foothold. Repeatedly provoking international disputes would not be worth the loss, so he thought that it was better to be quiet than to move, and there was no need to waste public money and seize a piece of worthless land.

Of course, it is not known how much publicity and resignation there are in it.The note that the Japanese wanted to land in Vladivostok was strongly opposed by Xu Shuzheng, and Jin Yunpeng secretly supported it. However, he and the senior officials of the Beiyang government never expected that Wu Weizhong would be so staunch. After the launch, it still fought against the landing Japanese army, and wiped out the No.20 Fourth Regiment of the Japanese army, and captured a battleship Hanoi.

What kind of record is this?Xu Shuzheng couldn't help being overjoyed when he got the news that the Suidong Army had won a big victory, and he was secretly glad that he didn't miss it. This Wu Weizhong is a good material.But then he became worried again, the Japanese will inevitably retaliate wildly, can this kid withstand it?

Can this group of Beiyang bigwigs withstand the pressure of the Japanese?What if Japan goes to war with China?One question after another.Sure enough, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs quickly sent a strongly worded letter of credence stating that the Japanese army was attacked by the squadron in Vladivostok and suffered heavy losses. While demanding compensation, the murderer must be severely punished.

When Duan Qirui was discussing with Xu Shuzheng and Jin Yunpeng, the two right-hand men, how to deal with this matter, the two of them were arguing red-faced.

Jin Yunpeng advocated cutting Wu Xiaoliang's rank as a major general and ordering him to return to Beijing to be punished. His troops were withdrawn to Jilin and temporarily placed under the jurisdiction of Fengtian Governor Zhang Zuolin, so as to eliminate the Japanese's excuse for declaring war on China.

"The Suidong Army threw their heads and blood for the country and the nation in the north, and I, Xu Shuzheng, didn't even have a thing to do behind the scenes!"

Xu Shuzheng categorically rejected Jin Yunpeng's proposal, and claimed that as long as he was the chief of the army, he would never issue such an order that relatives hurt their enemies and those who hate them quickly.And scolded Jin Yunpeng as a shameless traitor.

Under President Xu's curse, Jin Yunpeng finally lost his old face. He threw his chair in front of Duan Qirui, pointed at Xu Shuzheng's nose and cursed:

"Xu Youzheng, you don't take everyone seriously just because you have Zhishuai's backing. Who in Beijing doesn't know that you little Xu Feiyang is domineering. Let's wait and see who can have the last laugh!" Duan Qiruixu slammed the door and left.

Jin Yunpeng's unintentional words were originally filled with energy and blood, but unexpectedly they became a prophecy. A few years later, the high-spirited army chief was killed by a bullet.

Under heavy pressure from the cabinet, Duan Qirui had to choose a compromise route, which was to announce that he would renounce responsibility for the Suidong Army.At the state affairs meeting, someone also proposed to recall Chen Shiying's fleet, which was already on the way to Vladivostok, and Duan Qirui also agreed.

He also sent an urgent telegram to Chen Shiying to return to Tianjin immediately, but after receiving the report, Chen Shiying ignored the inexplicable withdrawal order, but ordered the fleet not to stay in Dalian, but to go directly to Vladivostok, bypassing the Korean peninsula.Because he had a premonition that something must have happened in Beijing, if he went back here, then the expedition of the Chinese fleet might not be able to set sail again, so he chose to disobey and move on.

The arrival of Chen Shiying solved Wu Xiaoliang's embarrassing situation of lacking Chinese sailors. After a meeting, the Suidong Army Command made relevant adjustments to the appointment and dismissal of the Suidong. Petrov was still the captain, and Zhang Liangzuo was appointed The deputy captain was transferred to the newly established director of the political department, and the post of deputy captain was taken over by Chen Shiying.At the same time, in view of the fact that Vladivostok already has more than ten large and small ships, the time is ripe to form a naval fleet.

Therefore, Chen Shiying was appointed as the commander of the Suidong Fleet, Zhang Liangzuo was the director of the Fleet Political Department, and the Suidong, which was being repaired, was the flagship of the fleet.Those who are interested will definitely be curious about the strangeness of this appointment and dismissal.Chen Shiying served as the commander of the fleet and the deputy captain of the Suidong ship, which is quite intriguing.Wu Xiaoliang has always attached great importance to the ideological construction of the army. There was a precedent when he established the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Political Department, so everyone is not surprised.

To everyone's surprise, apart from a few strongly worded statements from Japan, there was no movement.

Wu Xiaoliang from Suidong was also surprised, but soon he got the truth.

"Weizhong, good news!" Fang Qidao rushed into Wu Xiaoliang's office excitedly with the document in his hand.

"Where does joy come from?"

Wu Xiaoliang was dizzy and dizzy from the copywriting work every day. When Fang Qidao came in to report his work, he put down his pen and leaned back on the back of the chair.

"Civil strife broke out in Japan! It is said that a rebel army suddenly rose up in the central part of Honshu Island. It came very fiercely and once captured Kobe, but was later defeated by the army and withdrew to the mountains in the northern part of Honshu Island."

Wu Xiaoliang beamed with joy, this is indeed good news, Japan's internal problems will undoubtedly give Suidong Army a chance to breathe, and this opportunity is too rare!

"There is such a thing? Has Japan contacted us about the prisoners of war?"

Wu Xiaoliang soon thought of Miyake Miyake and other senior Japanese officers who were still in custody.

"They've already become a mess internally, so there's no time to pay attention to these shrimp soldiers and crab generals..."

Just at this moment, the secretary opened the door and came in as soon as the words were finished.

"The Prime Minister of Japan sent a special envoy to see him. When is it appropriate for the Commander to arrange to meet with them?"

Fang Qidao stopped talking halfway. He didn't expect that Japan would not forget the captured Japanese officials during the civil strife. Looking back at the Beiyang government, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Wu Xiaoliang had long been waiting for the Japanese cabinet to send someone to negotiate the issue. Based on his understanding of Japan's naval and military forces, the only way to resolve this matter was to go to war, but after waiting for more than a month, Japan did not see any action, so he guessed There must be some accident, so at this time, the Japanese cabinet must at least secretly send someone to contact him in order to understand his true intentions.

After Wu Xiaoliang received the report, he immediately summoned the Japanese secret envoy. Upon seeing it, he was slightly taken aback. This secret envoy was still an old acquaintance of his. .
