Tachibana Koichiro was a Japanese military councilor who went to Russia to fight. After the majority party captured Khabarovsk, he was ordered to recover Khabarovsk.As a result, Tachibana Koichiro was suddenly informed that the railway was blown up, and he had to get off the train early. At this time, he didn't know that there were still a pair of eyes staring at him by the side of the road.

This man is Yars. He participated in the war against Germany. After several years of honing, his marksmanship was amazing. More than 15 Germans died in his hands.After the civil war broke out, he returned to his hometown in the Far East. Not long ago, a group of Japanese soldiers broke into his home.

The young man's wife was humiliated, his five-year-old son was picked on a bayonet, his parents were all beheaded, and a family was instantly destroyed.Yars was completely insane. He picked up his old rifle again and joined the guerrillas. Using his precise marksmanship, he killed six Japanese soldiers within a few days.

At this moment, he had already seen that there was a big shot in this group of Japanese. Yars' palms were soaked with a fine layer of sweat, and his eyes were fixed on him, not letting go of any chance.At this moment Tachibana Koichiro suddenly turned around, as if he wanted to give a lecture, Yars finally seized the rare opportunity, a bullet was fired, and immediately hit Tachibana Koichiro in the head, this majestic lieutenant general made a plop fell to the ground.

The assassination of a lieutenant general was absolutely no small matter, and the top Japanese leaders were also shocked. After receiving the report, Prime Minister Hara Kyosuke had a gloomy expression on his face, as did other cabinet members.The situation in Russia has deteriorated to such an extent that Russia must be resolved first, the majority party must be eliminated, and Japan's dignity and interests must be resolutely safeguarded.

But if you want to concentrate on dealing with the Russians, you need to ease the relationship with the Fengjun in time, and let the big powers stop economic sanctions, which also means that Japan must temporarily bow its head.Let's do our best to solve a problem first.

Yuan Jing thought about it carefully for a while, and then said with difficulty: "Russia is stronger than China, and is the primary threat to the empire. We need to solve Russia first, and then deal with Fengjun. What do you think?"

Yuan Jing's eyes fell on Tanaka Yoshiichi, this guy was the most opposed to compromise with Feng Jun, now it depends on his opinion.Tanaka Yoshiichi lowered his head slightly, his heart was overwhelmed, and he weighed repeatedly.In the end, he had no choice but to say: "I agree with this suggestion, but you must not compromise too much with the Fengjun. The interests of the empire in South Manchuria must be maintained."

Tokyo's decision has been made, Uchida Yasuya can't continue to pretend to be glamorous and noble, and can only negotiate with Fengjun honestly.After sitting on the negotiating table.Gu Weijun appeared to be very active. He first said: "Your Excellency Uchida, the majority party is very rampant now. It has seriously threatened the security of the Asia-Pacific. I strongly suggest that all countries should abandon their differences and unite together to eliminate this disaster."

The situation waited for no one, Uchida could only agree to this proposal, and he automatically ignored the preset conditions.

"The imperial government is willing to cooperate with Fengtian. Especially the lease of the Middle East Railway and the purchase of military supplies. At present, the empire is the main force to eliminate the majority party. Fengtian should actively cooperate with the empire and act together. Show enough sincerity to provide everything for the empire possible convenience."

Uchida's words were full of arrogance, just like the arrogance of the Japanese, they didn't seem to know who was begging whom.

Gu Weijun put away the smile on his face, and then said: "The two sides should and must cooperate, but the cooperation must be based on equality and respect. The Japanese side must do the following: First, transfer the South Manchuria Railway to Fengjun At the same time, take back all the garrisons and give up all the dependent areas; secondly, give up all the special interests in South Manchuria, and conduct investment and development in a fair and just manner; Articles, and the powers set forth in similar treaties . . . "

All kinds of things, Gu Weijun read a total of seven items, and Uchida Koya heard it, and he was almost mad. These conditions are equivalent to completely driving out the Japanese forces in South Manchuria. Years of painstaking efforts have come to naught. How could he promise.

Immediately, the two sides started a war of words, frantic bargaining, and the intensity of the negotiation table was not weaker than that of the battlefield.

After seven consecutive days of quarreling, they finally got some clues. Gu Weijun hurriedly found Zhang Tinglan to report the situation.

"The Japanese side promised to reduce the garrison along the South-Manchuria Railway, with a total force ratio of more than 5000 people. At the same time, they agreed to give up half of the Manchurian Railway's dependencies. In addition, they agreed to invalidate the treaty on the Northeast that they signed with Beiyang alone. All future treaties must be participated by Fengtian. The rest of the Japanese promised not to engage in espionage operations, and promised to give up some privileges, but they asked for more detailed negotiations before finalizing it. Basically, we have achieved our previously preset negotiation goals, and it is also a victory for Fengjun diplomacy .”

Zhang Tinglan thought about it carefully, and then said: "This is an expedient measure for the Japanese. They just want to concentrate their strength first to solve Russia's troubles, and then find a suitable opportunity to deal with us."

"Commander-in-Chief, you mean that you do not agree to this condition."

"No, I agree!" Zhang Tinglan said: "We can no longer entangle with the Japanese. They want to concentrate their strength. We also need to hurry up. The Fengjun must strive for a larger strategic space and can no longer be trapped in the northeast!"

The reason why Zhang Tinglan made this decision is also very simple. He just got a report that the part of Wan Fulin who was stationed in Rehe was defeated by Xu Shuzheng, and Xiao Zhuge led his troops to break through Gubeikou and Xifengkou. More than ten thousand people entered the territory of Rehe.

Wan Fulin retreated steadily, and Sun Liechen had only two regiments of soldiers, who were currently defending Chengde. The Beiyang Army could reach Chengde at any time, and the situation was very critical.And Rehe is not only a barrier on the side of the three eastern provinces, but also a bridgehead for the Feng army to attack the northwest and Outer Mongolia, so there can be no mistakes at all.

Now that Beiyang is taking advantage of the chaos and wants to take Rehe, how can Zhang Tinglan agree.Besides, the feud between Feng Jun and Lao Duan has been forged, and Lao Duan must not be allowed to continue to control the central government. If you want to really win Lao Duan, you must first kill Xu Shuzheng.

Zhang Tinglan had already decided to send troops to Rehe, and broke up with Xiao Xu.At this time, it becomes very necessary to reach an agreement with the Japanese and maintain a temporary peace.

After Gu Weijun learned about this, he also knew that it was necessary to ease the conflict with Japan. The Japanese wanted to concentrate their forces on dealing with Russia, and Feng Jun also wanted to deal with Beiyang first, so he and Uchida quickly reached an agreement.

The Japanese originally had less than 2 garrisons along the South Manchuria Railway, but they were suddenly reduced to 5000, two-thirds of which were lost, and the threat to the Feng army was greatly reduced.Moreover, the Japanese returned half of the Manchukuo Railway subsidiary land. These lands are not only a huge sum of money, but also have important value for the security situation of the three northeastern provinces.

Take Huanggutun Station as an example, the south is the Manchukuo Railway subsidiary of Japan, the Japanese can intervene at any time, and use artillery in the Manchuria Railway subsidiary to block the Jingfeng Railway.In history, Zhang Zuolin was killed here for a reason. The Japanese reached the Jingfeng Railway as soon as they raised their legs, which is equivalent to holding their lives in the hands of the Japanese.

After negotiations this time, the area south of Huanggutun returned to the Fengjun. Zhang Tinglan decisively established the Fengtian West Camp here, standing side by side with the North and South Camps, and jointly defending Fengtian.After the Japanese vassal territory shrunk by half, not only could it not threaten the safety of the Feng army, but it was always held hostage by the strong force of the Feng army, and the trend of strength and weakness was reversed in an instant.

In addition, the Japanese handed back more than 1000 million mu of land on the more than 200-kilometer Manchuria Railway and its branch lines. Calculated on the basis of ten yuan per mu of land, it is also worth 2000 million yuan.

Of course, in exchange for benefits, the Fengjun will also open the Middle East Road, assist the Japanese in transporting arms and materials, and suppress Ivanov as soon as possible. In addition, the Fengjun will resume selling agricultural products to Japan to ensure the supply of the Japanese army.

The three-month confrontation between the Feng army and the Japanese finally eased temporarily. Zhang Tinglan took advantage of this time and hurriedly called together all the generals under him. Zhang Zuoxiang also attended the meeting in person.

"Everyone, Xu Shuzheng invaded Rehe, and the situation in Chengde is in dire straits. What do you all think should be done?"

"Of course, send troops, and teach Xu Shuzheng a lesson!" Sun Anhu took the lead to speak: "The old Duan betrayed Fengjun to the Japanese, and he has long been our life-and-death enemy. Are they so arrogant? I don’t think they can just save Rehe, send troops again, take down Beijing and Tianjin, and even drive that bastard Duan Qirui out of Beijing!”

"Don't be reckless." Zhang Zuoxiang waved his hand and said, "Isn't Yuting's lesson painful enough? Although the assassination was accidental, it also shows that Fengjun's strength is insufficient, and he didn't take over Beijing at all. We should focus on Rehe."

"The assistant commander is wise!" Yang Yuting said from the side: "It is indeed not suitable to enter the customs at this time, but we must also determine the strategic goal, at least to grasp the front line of the Great Wall in our hands. Starting from Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou, Gubeikou Zhangjiakou, Zhangjiakou, etc. must be taken back into their hands, forming an oppressive posture on Beijing and Tianjin, so that they dare not act rashly. Then they will go west with all their strength. This is also a proposition that Zhuoyan has long put forward. Chahar and Suiyuan must take in hand."

Zhang Tinglan also smiled and said: "Not only these two places, but also Outer Mongolia. Judging from the situation in Russia, sooner or later the majority party will reach the Far East, and there will be a battle between us. Win With Outer Mongolia, we have strategic depth, we can threaten the Siberian Railway at any time, and the whole game of chess will come to life.”

As he said that, Zhang Tinglan took out another letter, shook it in front of everyone, and said, "This is what Cao Kun just sent me. He said that the old Duan is traitorous and should step down. Zhijun is willing to join us. Together, I agree with this proposal, and the two armies will use the Great Wall as the boundary to divide their forces."

When Zhang Zuoxiang heard that Zhijun was willing to help, he also smiled and said: "Then we will send troops to Rehe to compete with Xu Shuzheng!" (To be continued...)
