Heavy Industry Empire

Liu Tianling was very angry after reading the official document. The commander of the Kwantung Army put forward a lot of demands with a domineering face. First, he demanded that the commander who undertook the attack on the Japanese gold mine be dismissed immediately and handed over to the Kwantung Army. This battle was directed by Liu Tianling himself, so it is impossible for him to hand over his dismissal to the Japanese.

Second, they demanded compensation for the economic losses of the Japanese, which totaled 300 million yuan. Not to mention the astronomical figure, the Japanese occupation of the Zhaoyuan gold mine had no basis, and Liu Tianling naturally would not recognize any treasonous treaty.

There are a few more below, but Liu Tianling didn't read them at all, because there was no need to read them.

Noda was stunned. He didn't expect Liu Tianling to speak so casually, and asked in surprise, "This is the commander-in-chief's thoughtful answer."

"Haha, I would rather perish in defeat than grovel. The conditions you raised are completely nonsense, and leave before I change my mind," Liu Tianling said angrily.

Noda was like a dehydrated goldfish, his mouth twitched twice, but he still didn't say a word. The tough man who couldn't stand it for a long time came over and twisted his neck and threw Noda out.

When the Japanese left, everyone laughed loudly: "These Japanese devils really slapped their noses on their noses, and a country the size of a bullet really takes itself seriously."

This is also the opinion of most people in the country. In [-], few people in China foresaw that Japan would make a big advance. Although Liu Tianling had instilled this kind of knowledge, most people still think that Japan is a small country, China is a big country, and a small country. How to beat a big country.

Everyone laughed, Zhu Yupu looked at everyone, and said: "My words may make everyone uncomfortable, but the actual situation is like this. If Japan starts a war with us at this time, we have no hope of victory at all. Whether it is the army, Neither the navy nor the air force has any way for Japan to compete,"

Liu Erniang became angry on the spot, and questioned Zhu Yupu: "I dare not speak of other teachers, none of our three teachers are arguing, it's like beating a little Japanese to chop melons and vegetables."

"The chiefs of staff are as ambitious as others, and our armored brigade is not paper. Japanese thin-skinned armored vehicles are as easy to crack as walnuts," Tiehan said.

"Okay, shut up, where did the chiefs of staff say something wrong? I have warned you countless times, don't think that we are so powerful. So far we are just playing small fights. The battle between domestic warlords and the external battle It's not the same, Liu Erniang and Tiehan will go to Huaxia Military Academy to attend lectures tomorrow," Liu Tianling said.

"Yes," the two reluctantly agreed.

Liu Tianling calmed down his mood: "Our Huaxia technology lags behind Japan by a lot, especially in heavy industry. If it weren't for the fact that we have dozens of enterprises, the current situation in Shandong is to rely on imports, let alone tractors. Your eyes are on A little bit farther away, let alone Hebei, which is still a large backward province, which does not even produce iron nails. Compared with the Japanese industry, our factory of the National Defense Army is only a small one now. For a small part, everyone who is an officer must always remember this point, and use stricter requirements during training, so that they can despise the enemy even more in battle."

The next day, all the senior officers of the National Defense Army near Jinan arrived at the Huaxia Military Academy. Together with the first batch of cadets of the National Defense Army, they listened to Liu Tianling and Zhu Yupu's comparison of the military strength of China and Japan, and let everyone realize that Japan, a tiny country, has always been With wolfish ambitions.

Noda ran into a wall in Jinan, did not stop at all, and immediately returned to the Northeast Kwantung Army garrison to report the situation to Commander Muto.

Noda stood opposite Muto's desk, and reported the situation of the National Defense Army on this trip with a stern expression.

Mu Teng couldn't believe it and asked: "Liu Tianling really said that, if you want to fight, fight."

"Yes, this Liu Tianling is arrogant and doesn't take us seriously at all. This person who despises the empire must teach them a lesson," Noda said bitterly.

"Okay, very good, I always thought that Liu Tianling was a knowledgeable and intelligent person, but after what you said, I understand that Liu Tianling is just a simple-minded, arrogant and ignorant local tyrant who treats war as a joke," Muto happy to say.

Noda was taken aback, and asked, "Your Excellency, I don't know why you said that,"

"Soldiers, it's a matter of great importance to the country. Those who speak lightly of war will have no foresight. Leave him alone, Noda, you've worked hard, go down and rest."

"Yes," Noda bowed and said goodbye.

Muto immediately called a few high-level Kwantung Army military meetings to discuss matters.

Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, saying that the Japanese Empire had gained too little benefit from the Northeast. If there are too few, the commander will give benefits if there are more troops.

At this time, the commander-in-chief has received the report of the defeat of the young commander in Handan and the loss of Shijiazhuang, and is rushing from Fengtian to Shanhaiguan by train.

In the wide compartment of the special train, the handsome man was drinking tea silently with an expressionless expression on his face. The adjutant brought the newspaper, and the handsome man was immediately attracted by the headline on the front page.

"I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, Shandong warlord Liu Tianling provoked the Kwantung Army,"

The marshal looked it over carefully, and it turned out that Liu Tianling bombarded the Japanese mine guard team and drove away the Japanese Kwantung Army special envoy in order to recover the Japanese gold mine in Zhaoyuan.

"This Liu Tianling, if it wasn't my opponent, I would really admire this kid," the marshal praised.

Yang Yuting said: "Even Mr. Jiang is so praised by the general. It seems that this Liu Tianling will become our strong enemy. The more Liu Tianling treats the Japanese, the more the Japanese think that Liu Tianling is just a warrior and cannot pose a real threat. "

"Oh, tell me what the Japanese think," the commander asked.

Yang Yuting lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head again to look at the commander-in-chief and said, "The Northeast is in danger, and the Kwantung Army may increase its troops soon."

"No way, I haven't got any news yet, the people in the intelligence department are not just for nothing," the Marshal asked back.

Yang Yuting shook his head: "I didn't get any information, I got it through analysis,"

"Then hurry up and talk about it, why didn't you say something about such an important situation earlier," said the commander-in-chief.

Yang Yuting knew that the commander-in-chief was not a young commander-in-chief, so he could listen to the truth, and said unhurriedly: "Over the years, the development of Northeast China has been slow. People don’t work hard, of course this is only a small part, most of our Fengjun are still very good,”

The commander-in-chief waved his hand: "Haha, I know very well what my subordinates are like. There must be a lot of officers who are secretly collaborating with bandits. This has to be done slowly. I will focus on the work when the expansion of Fengtian's industrial park is completed and the capacity of the arsenal doubles. It’s not the time to move on to rectifying military discipline.”

Yang Yuting is inconvenient to say more, after all, strictly speaking, their commander-in-chief is also a bandit.

"We are developing slowly. The sales of cloth and various daily necessities exported from Japan to the Northeast are not very obvious. At the same time, the commander-in-chief rejected the Japanese's demands for mines and railway rights, etc. Recently, the commander-in-chief has vigorously developed education. Develop industry, introduce French and German forces to fight against the Japanese, the Japanese have already felt the threat, and with their character, they will definitely not sit still, "

"Then when do you think the Japanese will increase their troops," the Marshal asked.

Yang Yuting shook his head: "It's hard to say the exact time, within a year at the longest, the Kwantung Army will definitely increase its troops, and they can't stand it anymore."

"Hey, Liangzi didn't live up to his expectations, and made a mess of the situation in Hebei, and I have to clean it up again," the marshal sighed.

Yang Yuting said: "How does the commander plan to deal with it?"

"Negotiate, give up Dezhou and Liaocheng, and the National Defense Army will return Shijiazhuang to us,"

Just as the messenger came over, he took a telegram: "Report to the commander-in-chief, Fengtian urgent call,"

The handsome man took a look, his expression changed.

"What's the situation," Yang Yuting asked.

"Look at it," the commander-in-chief said, handing the telegram to Yang Yuting.

The telegram was sent by Zhang Zuoxiang, and the intelligence department got the latest news that the Kwantung Army had written to the domestic military department, requesting an additional [-] troops.

"If the troop increase plan is approved, the Kwantung Army will have [-] tiger and wolf divisions, and our Fengtian will be the meat of other people's mouths," Yang Yuting said

"It's still Yuting's foresight. The Kwantung Army actually beat up all the reports. The Japanese military has always acted very quickly. It may be three to five months. I will send troops here. I can't let them succeed. Let Zhang Zuoxiang immediately Put pressure on them, as long as they dare to increase their troops, they will go to war immediately," said the commander-in-chief.

As soon as the general arrived in Peiping, the chaotic situation immediately changed. Those officers who did not listen to orders all became good students like obedient children. Rehe soldiers went south by [-] soldiers, increasing their troops to Baoding, approaching Shijiazhuang, Handan garrison The army cheered up and began to repair the fortifications. The Fengjun was united and united, and they fought against the National Defense Army. Even those Fengjun who had surrendered in Shijiazhuang started to make trouble. It can be seen that the commander-in-chief has a great influence in the Fengjun.

Of course, the Second Division is not a soft persimmon, and immediately made adjustments. More than 2000 soldiers who surrendered to the Fengjun were willing to join the National Defense Army and sent them back to the headquarters. The food is not bad, but the fortifications have to be maintained under full armed guard every day.

At the headquarters of the National Defense Army, Jia Cai sighed and said: "It's late, the commander-in-chief returned to Beiping, and the young commander-in-chief was given a holiday to let him go to further studies. Once he takes over, Liaocheng, Texas will be difficult to fight."

"Who said I'm going to fight Liaocheng, Texas," Liu Tianling said with a smile, "I'm going to fight Shijiazhuang to force the commander back."

"Why, why?" Jia Cai asked puzzled.

Liu Tianling said, "Isn't this all a ghost idea learned from you?"

"Haha, I understand," Jia Cai thought of something, but didn't continue,
