Back to the Republic of China as a commander

"Hey, who did I say? It turned out to be Brother Linge. Why do you, a member of the Central Committee, have time to come to this small temple of our Nanjing National Government today? Come on, that Secretary Li, go to the Ministry Wei Peisheng, who had just been recruited from the School of Foreign Languages ​​of Nanjing University, was called here, this is Senior Yang Linge and Yang Yuting, who is going to eliminate our national government and unify the country by force!" Wang Zhengting is very friendly in his daily life, but if he is really mean, he will be so bitter The degree is not too much.

When Yang Yuting heard Wang Zhengting pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, he couldn't get angry, so he could only lament with a wry smile on his face: "Brother Rutang, don't make fun of me, brother, I blush now thinking about what happened last time. Naturally, it's doing things for others. If you still remember your brother's hatred, then I have no choice but to kneel down for you."

Speaking of which, Yang Yuting took advantage of the situation and wanted to kneel down, bluffing Wang Zhengting to hold his arms and said: "Brother Lin Ge, you really killed me, you killed me, my brother was just joking, you How can you take it seriously as a brother? The past is over, let’s sit down and talk about the past, Secretary Li, serve tea! Serve good tea! Make the Biluochun that Mr. Cao Rulin Cao gave me.”

After a while of pleasantries, Yang Yuting took the initiative to pick up the topic: "Brother Rutang, my brother went south this time for one thing, that is, to hope that we will have peace between the north and the south and stop fighting. But look, when I first arrived in Shanghai, I I received the news that your national government has extended its hand into Tibet and the Northwest, and it is said that it is still pursuing Outer Mongolia, which has aroused protests from the foreign powers. If this continues, when will our old China be truly peaceful?"

Wang Zhengting smiled and said: "Come on, Brother Lin Ge, stop pretending, I'm about to throw up, when did you Fengjun become a pacifist? If meat-eating animals eat grass, then why are we still fighting?" To be together. To be honest, you are afraid that the youth army will continue to go north, right?"

As soon as Yang Yuting opened the store, someone found out about it, and he couldn't help being surprised. He tried his best to restrain himself, neither agreeing nor denying Wang Zhengting's words, in short, he pretended to be stupid.

And Wang Zhengting seemed to have expected this a long time ago, he was not in a hurry, raised his teacup and said, "Come on, drink tea, it is very fragrant. Do you know Mr. Cao Rulin, the God of Wealth of Duan Zhiquan? Among the rich people in Beijing, this guy can be ranked in the top three, so the things he gave must be good things. Brother Neighbor, we have to do revolutionary work, but we still have to enjoy what we should enjoy. Drink tea first."

Yang Yuting reluctantly picked up the cup and took a sip of the tea, it was indeed very fragrant.

After being speechless for a while, Wang Zhengting seemed to have whetted his appetite, and said with a slight smile, "Brother Lin Ge, you people from the Northeast are the most honest, you tell me the truth about how the central government wants to deal with the current situation. ah?"

"Naturally, I hope that the North and the South will maintain peace and maintain the current situation, and I hope that the national government will take the overall situation into account and take the initiative to maintain it." Yang Yuting thought for a while, and said with a hint of luck.

Wang Zhengting is a person who has suffered a lot. He chuckled and said, "Take care of the overall situation? That's right, Brother Linge. After drinking tea, I will ask Secretary Li to arrange a special train for you to take you back to Beijing. Xuzhou has already It is open to traffic, and your General Zhang Zongchang is very friendly to our national government."

Yang Yuting is not a fool, as soon as he heard this, he knew that his request was farting, and the gap between him and the other party's bottom line was not 01:30.He quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Brother Rutang, negotiating, it's like bargaining in a business. I think the price is too high. Can you pay me back?"

Wang Zhengting smiled and said nothing, Yang Yuting hurriedly said: "This Beijing coalition government, everyone will get half of it? How about giving you the throne of the President?...Cousin Confucianism, if you insist on the central government, you can do it." , Is it okay to move the capital, but you have to allocate the military expenses of Fengjun. This is the minimum requirement, and I can't talk about it any lower. Then I will trouble Cousin Confucian to arrange a special train. I will go back and ask Marshal Zhang to resign. "

Wang Zhengting was almost done playing, and saw that Yang Yuting's play was almost done, so he coughed and said, "Okay, Brother Lin Ge, brother, it's just that my chest was tight and it was inconvenient to talk just now, but you did so much all at once. Concession. In fact, our Marshal Wang here is not as greedy as your Marshal Zhang, and he has limited interest in your territory."

Yang Yuting vomited blood angrily, and cursed inwardly: "What a big-tailed wolf, your family Wang Wenzheng is not greedy, almost two-thirds of China will go into his stomach, if he is not greedy, there are still greedy people in this world ?"

But you can't say that on your lips, Yang Yuting still smiled and said: "Cousin Confucianism, just tell me, what is this Marshal Wang Wenzheng wants, no matter whether he succeeds or not, brother, I at least have something to go back and make business with."

Wang Zhengting nodded, pressed the bell, and the secretary opened the door and came in and said, "Secretary Li, call the Confidential Office of the Communications Department to bring over the minutes sorted out according to the Military Commission's Confidential Document No. 61 and show it to Mr. Yang... "

While the north-south negotiations on China's side were secretly going on in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, in the private residence of Prime Minister Terauchi, a negotiation that was also related to China's fate was really going on.In addition to Prime Minister Billiken himself, who we all know, the meeting still included the President of the Constitutional Seiyukai Hara Takaaki, the President of the Constitutional Council Takaaki Kato, the leader of the Kuomintang Party Inukai Takeshi, the new Minister of Foreign Affairs Ichiro Moto, and the Minister of Internal Affairs Goto Shinpei , the Minister of Finance Katsuta is in charge, the Minister of War is Lieutenant General Kenichi Oshima, and the Minister of the Navy is Admiral Kato Yusaburo.In addition to these current domestic giants in Japan, there are also a few small people who are also allowed to participate.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I request you to immediately change the current policy of the imperial government, stop supporting Zhang Zuolin in China, and immediately find a reason to use the imperial army to occupy Manchuria, otherwise the empire's mainland policy will be ruined." Just returned from the Shandong battlefield, was broken Itagaki Seishiro, who was allowed to enter the prime minister's residence to attend the meeting, boldly spoke at the beginning of the meeting, and he put his head on the ground after he was in a kneeling position.

"Baga, Mr. Itagaki, you have completely embarrassed the emperor. In front of the prime minister, it is not your turn to be rude and presumptuous. Please apologize to the prime minister and other ministers immediately. "The former director of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Army and the current Yoshiichi Tanaka did not expect Seishiro Itagaki, whom he had brought, to be so out of control. Before anyone else had an attack, he yelled and reprimanded him first.Itagaki Seishiro, as if he didn't know Tanaka Yoshihide's thoughts, raised his head unmoved and insisted: "The humble job came back from the Xuzhou battlefield, and I want to tell the decision makers of the empire what I saw and heard, otherwise the humble job would have already died." The moment you lose the battle, you should kill yourself by harakiri."

In fact, in order to help Zhang Zongchang win the battle of Xuzhou, Japan secretly mobilized more than 1000 veterans in Shandong to participate in the battle. In addition, there were nearly 2000 veteran artillery soldiers, and a total of more than 3000 people served in Zhang Zongchang's troops.Originally thinking that there were so many elite Japanese and Russian troops, Zhang Zongchang would not lose even if he could not win, but he did not expect that in the three-hour battle, more than [-] Russian elite cavalry in Fengjun uniforms and [-] Japanese elite After the infantry rushed into the elastic defensive position, they were unceremoniously wiped out by the youth army.

The three heavy artillery brigades supported by the Japanese side were also accurately hit by the artillery of the Youth Army. 144 heavy artillery were destroyed in one go, and 82 were destroyed, and the artillery casualties exceeded [-].Such tragic casualties made Seishiro Itagaki unable to believe that what he saw was true, he couldn't accept it.

Terauchi Masaki, who had been sitting upright and silent all this time, waved his hand at Tanaka Yoshiichi, the head of the Village Soldiers Association and the Great Japan United Youth League, and asked, "Itagaki-kun, what do you want to tell us old men?"

Itagaki Seishiro tried to wipe away the tears that had already flowed down his nose, looked up and said: "The combat effectiveness of the Southern China Army is not far behind that of the Imperial Army, and even their performance in defensive operations is better than that of the Imperial Army, so we It is no longer possible to continue playing the game of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. After seeing the combat effectiveness of the Southern China army, Zhang Zuolin in the north will soon lose control of the situation, and once the Southern China launches the Northern Expedition, the Feng army will surely be defeated. At this time, we must raise our troops to control Manchuria, and then rely on the powerful navy of the empire to control Bohai Bay. As long as we control the Liaoxi Corridor, Manchuria will belong to the empire, and no matter how powerful the Southern China army is, there is nothing we can do about it.”

Terauchi Masaki touched the beard on his chin, looked at Seishiro Itagaki with a sad face expressionlessly, and said, "Itagaki-kun, how strong is the fighting power of the Southern China army? Why are you so panicked?"

Itagaki Seishiro knew that his words had aroused the interest of the high-level empire. He tried to calm down his excitement, and then replied loudly: "They seem to be very good at the construction of civil engineering works. Their soldiers are very disciplined in combat. They are very sturdy and reasonable; in actual combat, they do not have the bad habit of shooting at long distances in other squadrons, nor do they have the habit of emphasizing personal bravery. The effective kills even surpassed the imperial army. Like us, they attach great importance to the use of grenades, and what's more terrible, they seem to have the help of Britain and France, and their artillery combat level is likely to have surpassed the imperial army. . .”

The guests in the official residence frowned more and more, and their hearts changed from initial suspicion to worry. . .
