Years of the Republic of China 1913

Although Fang Zida's words were true, Yang Yongtai and others didn't take them seriously. Even though Chen Wei felt that new weapons such as planes and tanks were useful, they were not that exaggerated. .. welcome to read to know that the king of the army is the cannon from the age of firearms and known as the god of war.As for aircraft, there is still a long way to go to achieve the situation Fang Zida described based on current technological conditions.

However, due to the successful development of mortars, grenade launchers, and more importantly, the powerful rocket launcher, Chen Wei still took Fang Zida's request very seriously, and recorded the main points of the other party's words one by one. Then start researching afterwards.

Considering that Chen Wei was tired from the journey, the two parties only discussed for an afternoon, and then said goodbye to them after an early dinner.Chen Wei will not stay in the capital for too long, and Fang Zida will arrange for him to leave the customs through Shanhaiguan in Chengde two days later. As for Fengtian, Yang Yongtai has already telegraphed Yang Du, and everything will be properly arranged if Yang Du wants to come to Fengtian.

Two days passed quickly, and it was still the Liuguo Hotel.After sending Chen Yu away, Fang Zida went to see Ichiro Fujita.

"Fang Sang, the Imperial Navy asks me to express my gratitude to Fang Sang."

Seeing Fang Zida, Fujita Ichiro hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and said these words with a smile.

"That's unnecessary." He waved his hand, sat down on the sofa, took a look at the cigar handed over by Ichiro Fujita, "Mr. Fujita, I didn't expect you to still maintain this habit."

"It's hard to get such an authentic cigar in China, it's better here!" Ichiro Fujita sighed with a cigar in his hand and sniffed it under his nose.

"Of course. If Fujita-kun likes it, I'll give you some after this incident is over."

"Thank you so much!"

Seeing Ichiro Fujita's happy face, Fang Zida smiled and turned the topic back: "What is the attitude of your country's army now?"

"This...hasn't reached an agreement yet, I'm really sorry Fang Sang, but please rest assured, I will continue to work hard." Ichiro Fujita's face flashed with guilt, he got up and bowed to Fang Zida.

"Oh, what exactly is going on?"

"The army guys refused to admit defeat, and decided to win Fengtian before peace talks. Although Your Excellency is the prime minister, the army has its own system. You can't force it too much, just in case..."

"In case he gets angry with Lu Jun, he is worried that he will be overwhelmed?" Fang Zida smiled slightly.

Fujita Ichiro's expression froze, and then he became normal again, bowing his head and admitting that it was indeed the case.

Although the Japanese pay attention to hierarchy and emphasize class, they often have the custom of lowering the upper limit.This situation seems contradictory to people who don't know the history of Japan, but this is the complex character of Japan itself.Since the Warring States Period in Japan to the present, such situations abound.Due to impulsiveness or fanaticism, the superiors were beheaded countless times by their subordinates.After the Meiji Restoration, this kind of thing often happened. Of course, the old guy Masaaki Terauchi also knew the personalities of the young and strong faction of the army, so he never became tough on this point.

"So, what is the attitude of your cabinet or Masaichi and the navy?"

"Of course it is to withdraw from the war with dignity. The domestic situation is not very good now. This war will not bring any benefits to the Great Japanese Empire." Fujita Ichiro is now on the same boat as Fang Zida, and some things are fine. If you need to hide it, say it directly.

"Then the key lies in the Army?"

"Hi!"

Fang Zida smiled knowingly.He had already considered this situation, otherwise he would not have asked Chen Wei to make arrangements in advance.

"Please help me send a message to Prime Minister Masahide Masahiro of your country, and tell him that there is no need for him to worry too much about the Fengtian war. If the government of your country cannot make a decision, we will help you make a decision."

Fang Zida's words were understated, but it was like thunder in the ears of Fujita Ichiro, and he was immediately shocked on the spot.

"Fang Sang. You mean..."

"It's nothing, that's what it means." Fang Zida didn't say anything, and smiled slightly: "I think you should understand whether it's Prime Minister Masaichi or Fujita-kun."

For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Fujita Ichiro's mind.What is Fang Zida's confidence in saying this?It made Fujita Ichiro both puzzled and vigilant.On the Jiaodong battlefield, the Japanese side is indeed in trouble, but it is still the Japanese army that has the advantage on the Fengtian battlefield.Could it be that the Chinese government is making a big move to increase its troops to Fengtian?However, according to various intelligences, the most troops mobilized by the Chinese General Staff will form a stalemate with the Japanese army on the front line. What's more, there is Japan's colony North Korea in the northeast. When dispatched, does Fang Zida have any other unique tricks that can defeat the Japanese army in an instant?How can this be?If the squadron had such a strong military force, this war would not have reached the present level.

"Intimidation!" Fujita Ichiro's final analysis came to a conclusion. He knows China very well, and he knows the personality of the Chinese people very well, just like some Chinese politicians studying in Japan know the Japanese themselves.The Chinese are like this. Sometimes they will say big words to intimidate their opponents when they are not capable enough. This is not only the Chinese, but even the Japanese themselves often use it. Just like now, Fang Zida asked him to This is most likely the purpose of the conversation, bluffing to gain some benefits at the negotiating table.

Feeling that he had guessed Fang Zida's thoughts, Fujita Ichiro immediately relaxed, nodded with a smile, "No problem Fang Sang, I will send your request back to Tokyo as soon as possible, and hope this boring end as soon as possible."

After a few more conversations, Fang Zida left.After Fang Zida left, Fujita Ichiro recruited guards to let the other party notify the staff of the Japanese embassy, ​​and sent Fang Zida's words back to Beijing through diplomatic channels.Of course, although Fujita Ichiro did this, he didn't take it seriously in his heart, and the Japanese government who connected to the news just glanced at the message and threw it into the trash.Because in the eyes of the Japanese, this kind of verbal warning is nothing at all. The outcome of a war is determined by cannons and rifles, not by the skills of the mouth. This naive behavior of the Chinese is really ridiculous up.

Ridiculous?of course not!

In the stalemate at Fengtian's front line, Fang Zida is very sure to break the deadlock, and his confidence is the big killing rocket in his hand.

For the sake of secrecy and safety, after Chen Yu and his party and the rockets arrived in the capital in secret, Fang Zida arranged for the original Zhongyang Bank Guard Army, that is, another new army and an action team from the intelligence department after reorganization, to take over the security and secrecy work.The main person in charge is He Yingqin. Since the Yuan Keding incident that year, He Yingqin has gradually been reused by Fang Zida with his ability and attitude. Although he proposed to Fang Zida to go to the front several times at the beginning of this war, he failed to do so.And this action just gave him a chance. After learning the specific situation, he took the initiative to ask to lead the team himself, and Fang Zida agreed after thinking about it.

A camouflaged train looks similar to an ordinary train on the outside, but there is no ordinary person on board. Except for Chen Yu and some technicians from military industrial enterprises, the rest of the passengers are action members of the intelligence department or He Yingqin His subordinates, even the train driver and the staff who burn the fire are all selected and reliable personnel, all of which are to keep the secret as much as possible.

Of course, except for a very small number of people, even He Yingqin didn't know what was on the train. He guessed a lot along the way, and even guessed things like gas bombs that just appeared on the European battlefield. , but no matter how hard he thought about it, he never thought that what they escorted was a brand new weapon, which would go on the battlefield for the first time and shock the world.

Apart from adding water and coal, there was no delay along the way for the special train. Although there was a lot of traffic at Fengtian, the railway line was still very safe.A few days later, the train quickly left Shanhaiguan and arrived at Fengtian Station the next day.

Due to advance arrangements, the bustling Fengtian Station in the past was under temporary martial law today, and Yang Du accompanied Zhang Zuolin to pick him up at the station.Knowing the inside story, Yang Du's excitement and excitement don't need to be mentioned, but Zhang Zuolin doesn't take it seriously. Although Chen Wei, Lieutenant General, and He Yingqin were also promoted to major generals a while ago, these two people are not in contact with his interests. Many, Zhang Zuolin, as an army general, didn't need to come to meet them when the front line was tense, but because of Yang Du's insistence, Zhang Zuolin, who had suffered a huge loss, desperately needed Fang Zida's support, so he sold his face and made such a trip.

"Xizi, you are in a good mood today. What's so happy about it?" More than a month of fierce fighting has made Zhang Zuolin, who was already skinny, much thinner. He is not as energetic as before in a coat, but reveals A trace of indelible fatigue.After waiting on the platform for a while, seeing Yang Du's eyebrows dancing beside him, he couldn't help asking.

"Haha, the war is coming to an end soon, why am I in a bad mood?" Yang Du, who was happy in his heart, said casually.

"What do you mean by Xizi's words...?" His eyebrows twitched, Zhang Zuolin keenly sensed something, and hurriedly asked.

"Yu Shuai, don't inquire about the specifics, I'll just ask you a question." Yang Du looked around at the distance from them, and said in a low voice.

"Please advise!"

"Chen Leshu is in charge of the military industry, and He Jingzhi is just the commander of Zhang Ming's guards. Is it necessary for the two of them to come to Fengtian in person? With Yushuai's intelligence, can't he see something strange?"

"You mean..." Zhang Zuolin's eyes widened immediately.

"Buddha said: Don't say it...don't say it...you will know when the time comes, Yushuai." Who would have thought that Yang Du would shut his mouth when he said this, smiled inscrutablely and would never continue , Just when Zhang Zuolin felt as uncomfortable as hundreds of ants crawling, and was about to ask questions, a whistle sounded, and the train pulled into the station.
