Akajiri Masasuke also made it clear that Lao Zhang can take control of the Central Plains, but Shandong must be handed over to the Japanese.In fact, it is not without reason that the Japanese value Shandong so much. They control Luda in the northeast and Taiwan in the southeast. If they take Shandong again, the entire eastern half of China will be under their control. It has become a delicacy in the mouth of the Japanese.

Lao Zhang frowned, and he didn't answer in a hurry, but asked again: "Does the Japanese side have any other requests?"

Akajiri Masasuke said with a smile: "There are indeed some initiatives to strengthen cooperation. For example, we hope to cooperate with Fengtian in the military industry and the steel industry. We also hope that Fengtian can send 20 civilians to assist the empire in fighting in the Far East. In addition, the financial and economic fields It is also possible to cooperate, in short, the two sides must coexist and co-prosper, support each other, and develop together."

Hearing Akajiri Masasuke finished speaking, Zhang Zuolin's face immediately became gloomy. The Japanese have a big appetite. If he agreed to these conditions, it would be tantamount to destroying the achievements of Zhang Tinglan's hard work, and Feng Jun fell into Japan again. Under human control, this has completely exceeded Zhang Zuolin's bottom line, and his breathing is unavoidably heavy.

"Marshal, the big man's ambition is in the world. A little gain or loss in the Northeast can be exchanged for taking control of the Central Plains and owning the entire country. This deal is very cost-effective. Don't hesitate anymore. It is always against the Japanese government. There is no benefit. We should cooperate closely. valid reason!"

"To shut up!"

Lao Zhang yelled loudly, with angry flames in his eyes, he said loudly: "Zhang has said a long time ago that I want to be worthy of my conscience and the young and old in the black land, so I don't want to mention those excessive conditions. Yes. Zhang is willing to cooperate with Japan. We can also sit down and discuss the Shandong issue, and the deadline for return can be postponed. As for the other Zhang, if he agrees. If he follows Duan Qirui's old path, maybe there will be other People kicked me out!"

The sudden change in Zhang Zuolin's attitude made the other three people look terrified, especially Wu Junsheng, who thought he would be able to promote the cooperation between Zhang Zuolin and the Japanese.In fact, in his opinion, it is not a bad idea to give up the interests of the three eastern provinces.Especially to be able to return to Huahua World in the Central Plains, this is simply a big profit.I really don't understand why Zhang Zuolin flatly refused.

The same is true for Akajiri Masasuke.In fact, nothing is groundless. During this period of time, Wu Junsheng and others encouraged Zhang Zuolin to enter the customs, and the Japanese were behind it.

As the Fengjun became stronger and stronger, the Japanese government has been discussing how to deal with the Fengjun, especially when the Japanese government knew that the Fengjun had acquired a large number of factories from Russia.Everyone in Japan is very worried. Why do they bully China? They know in their hearts that if Fengjun also has its own industrial system.It can completely challenge the Japanese.

Therefore, the Japanese are repeatedly making plans. Some people advocate direct use of force, but now about half of Japan's army is in Siberia, and they want to fight Russia. If they attack Fengjun again, they don't have the strength at all. In a losing situation, not only will it fail to win the three eastern provinces, but it may also fail miserably in the Far East.

After some discussions, the Japanese chose a relatively safe plan, which was to encourage China to launch a civil war, use Beiyang to weaken the strength of Fengjun, and at the same time use Fengjun to blackmail Beiyang, forcing them to give up more benefits, so that the Japanese would It can benefit the fisherman. As long as the two sides continue to fight, their dependence on Japan will increase, and both sides will become Japanese marionettes.

It can be said that the Japanese's wishful thinking was very shrewd, and their intentions were extremely sinister, but Lao Zhang did not cooperate with the Japanese, which made Akajiri Masasuke very embarrassed.

He sneered and said, "Zhang Sang, if you are a friend of the empire, the empire will help you with all your strength. If you become an enemy of the empire, you have to bear the consequences yourself!"

Chijiri was turning around and leaving with help and humming, while Lao Zhang was sitting on the grand teacher's chair without saying a word. At this time, Zhu Bajie looked in the mirror, and he was very embarrassed.

"Marshal, this negotiation is about doing business. If you don't want to take out bargaining chips, how can you let the Japanese help us? You can't be like that kid Zhang Tinglan, who is arrogant!"

Lao Zhang didn't listen to Wu Junsheng's words at all, he just waved his hand in disgust and asked him to go out, Wu Junsheng had no choice but to stamp his feet, turn around and leave.

After sitting there for a while, Lao Zhang asked Zhang Xueliang to be called in. Zhang Xueliang also saw that Lao Zhang was a little angry, and his heart was a little hairy, and he didn't know what to say.On the contrary, Lao Zhang sneered and said: "They seem to treat me like a marionette, they underestimate Zhang, but this time I can see clearly that people like Wu Junsheng really can't keep up with the trend, their brains are too old, After entering the customs, let them go to the northwest to serve as a provincial governor, and toss about it casually, which is considered as the most benevolent."

"Father, you have always had a falling out with the Japanese, so we don't have to enter the customs?"

"Nonsense, since I have taken this step, I am sure of victory, but I just want to see the bottom line of the Japanese. Han Qing, please pass on my order and appoint Zhuo Yan as the commander of Fengtian security. After the troops are dispatched, the Japanese We must do something to hold us back, and the only thing that can resist the pressure of the Japanese is clumsy words!"

When Zhang Xueliang heard this arrangement, his face also showed joy. During this period of time, the young commander always felt that there was a gap between the old man and Zhang Tinglan, and it was not easy for him to be in the middle. But at this time Zhang Xueliang finally understood that the old man He still trusts and relies heavily on Zhang Tinglan, so he doesn't have to be embarrassed.

So Zhang Xueliang went to Zhang Tinglan in a hurry and told him the good news. After the two brothers met, Zhang Xueliang said excitedly: "Zhuoyan, my father appointed you as the commander of Fengtian security, and my father also said After he enters the customs, the Japanese will definitely take action to let you withstand the pressure of the Japanese."

Zhang Tinglan was also very surprised by this appointment. At first, he also thought that Lao Zhang wanted to compromise with the Japanese in exchange for their permission.But looking at it now, Zhang Zuolin had other plans, and a glimmer of hope rose in Zhang Tinglan's heart. As long as he was not led by the nose by the Japanese, he might have the hope of winning when he entered the customs.

"Hanqing, go and tell the commander-in-chief that as long as I'm here, the Japanese won't cause any trouble!" Zhang Tinglan said with a sneer, "Don't think that they will have a chance when most of the Feng army enters the customs. , I will turn their [-] intervention troops into ashes!"

Zhang Tinglan has been thinking about how to deal with the threat of the Japanese for the past two days. He also knows that he can't be beaten passively, so Zhang Tinglan is going to put his mind on the Japanese intervention army. This is a good card at the critical moment!

"Humble words are arrogance, and I will not lag behind. This time, I will be the vanguard for our Fengjun, and go out of the gate, so that everyone in the world can see the majesty of Fengjun!". )

Chapter 433 Intimidate the Enemy

Since the May [-]th turmoil, China's political situation has changed three times a day, and so has Fengjun, who is also at the center of the storm. In the first few days, everyone was still guessing whether Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan had a falling out. At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang is still in charge of Beiman, which means that the two of them control the three eastern provinces, and they seem to be important ministers who stay behind to watch the house, which surprises everyone.

No matter what others think, after Zhang Tinglan received the appointment, he immediately started to make preparations. Wang Yongjiang, Yang Yuting and others were invited to his study to come up with a plan.

"Mr. Min Yuan, Lin Ge, this time the commander mobilized the army to enter the customs, and Fengtian's remaining forces are very limited. How to defend Fengtian and deter the Japanese Kwantung Army is indeed a bit difficult!"

Fengjun's original team consisted of four divisions. After several expansions, the total strength of Fengjun has exceeded 13, but there are more than 3 frontier defense troops. Heilongjiang and Jilin each have a garrison division. The heavy artillery regiment, cavalry regiment and other troops number more than 5 people.

These troops are jointly guarding the safety of North Manchuria, and they also have to defend Hailan and Jiangdong 64 villages, which are already stretched. Lao Zhang has to lead three divisions and four brigades to enter the customs, and there are more than 6 people. The remaining troops are only in the early [-]s, which is indeed a little small.

Yang Yuting calculated silently in his heart, and then said: "Zhuoyan, although there are not many troops, they are all the elite of Fengjun, including the 27th Brigade of the old 54th Division, and two regiments of the 28th Division. The cavalry brigade, as well as a mountain artillery regiment and a field artillery regiment, are all top-notch in Fengtian in terms of the quality of their soldiers and weapons and equipment. If they are used well, it will not be difficult to defend Fengtian!"

Wang Yongjiang also said from the side: "Zhuoyan, don't just count the regular army. There are still many recruits and policemen in Fengtian. In addition, all college students must receive two months of military training when they enter school. If it is a last resort At that time, these students can also be mobilized, and Fengtian's left-behind strength can exceed 3 people."

"Just for the guards, these troops are enough. But I want to use offense instead of defense to create pressure on the Japanese so that they don't dare to act rashly. In this way, there will be not enough troops."

When the two sides compete, the weaker they are.The more you have to put on a tough stance, once you are the weaker side.I'm scared myself.Then there is no hope at all.

Zhang Tinglan didn't want to conflict with the Japanese at this time, but it was definitely useless to just beg. He had to show strength that made the Japanese fearful, so that they could stop.At the same time, not only for deterrence, Zhang Tinglan also wanted to attract the attention of the Japanese and make them relax their attention to Lao Zhang.This can also increase the odds of winning for Zhang Zuolin.

Yang Yuting and Wang Yongjiang also saw Zhang Tinglan's thoughts. Wang Yongjiang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Zhuoyan, you have always told me to follow the example of the great powers. Build a strong national defense deployment capability, and achieve less troops in peacetime. Is it the effect of sending more troops during wartime? I think now is an opportunity. Let us take advantage of the opportunity of the general to send troops to implement a national defense mobilization in Fengtian to show our war potential, which can also serve the purpose of deterrence."

"Governor Minyuan's method is good." Yang Yuting also said with a smile: "Zhuoyan, I don't think we can carry out a full-scale mobilization. It is best that we take out all the sea, land and air forces for a drill, especially to display some new weapons, like what? Bring out heavy artillery, planes and the like, and show them off in front of the world, firstly, it can boost the military's prestige, and secondly, it can deter Xiaoxiao!"

After hearing this suggestion, Zhang Tinglan's eyes brightened. It is true that sometimes it is not possible to just focus on construction, but to show the results, so as to gain the affirmation of all parties.

"Then simply take this exit as a platform for Fengjun to demonstrate its strength. Let's draw up a plan as soon as possible and send it to the commander-in-chief for approval."

After Lao Zhang got the report, he was also very happy. Showing his strength at this time can not only deter the Japanese, but also win over other factions on the fence, so that those small warlords can cut off Duan Qirui as soon as possible, or at least make them dare not fight with all their strength. Fengjun against.In addition, it is also to show the achievements of Fengtian construction to the people of the whole country, and pave the way for Fengjun to take over the central government.

This is a good thing that serves multiple purposes, Lao Zhang readily accepted the suggestion, and he decided to hold a military parade in Fengtian to display all the new weapons.But Lao Zhang still played tricks, he called Zhang Xueliang to his side.

"Little Six, Zhuo Yan suggested that I show my strength. I am also planning to hold a military oath parade, but this is just a cover to attract the attention of all parties. You and Guo Songling led the vanguard to attack Shanhaiguan at the fastest speed. Go straight to Beijing along the Beijing-Fengfeng Railway."

Hearing Zhang Xueliang's arrangement, Zhang Xueliang also showed joy on his face, and gave Lao Zhang a thumbs up: "Father, you are always going to build plank roads to cover Chencang secretly, use military parades to attract the attention of all parties, and at the same time wave troops into Guan, it must be unexpected and catch Duan Qirui by surprise."

Lao Zhang nodded with a smile: "Xiao Liuzi, Zhuoyan has one idea that is very correct, that is, the war should be resolved quickly, and the opponent should be dealt with as quickly as possible, without leaving time for the big powers to interfere. Wait until the raw rice is cooked." They want to protest and interfere, but they have no chance."

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he pulled Zhang Xueliang closer, and said in a low voice: "Hanqing, whether Dad can successfully enter the customs this time depends on whether the speed is fast enough. If you can grab the support of the Japanese to get to Lao Duan Before they take Beijing, they will have no chance to intervene. If they delay for a long time, there will be no hope at all. The key to victory or defeat is speed. The burden on your shoulders is not light. Discuss everything with Guo Songling. You are narrow-minded, but your talent is not bad, and you are also good at fighting!"

"Father, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

After intense preparations, preparations for the military parade of Fengjun are almost ready. Lao Zhang electrified the whole country again to force Lao Duan to step down. At the end of the power-on, Lao Zhang expressed that he would hold a large-scale military parade to show Fengjun's military appearance, and invited reporters from all over the world. Come to see the military parade of Fengjun.

When Lao Zhang held a military parade at this time, the big guys secretly screamed that it was not good. This was a signal for battle. After the military parade, maybe the soldiers didn't need to go back to the barracks, and they rushed directly to the pass with their guns on their shoulders.Everyone regards Lao Zhang's military parade as a signal of war.

The fierce tiger outside the pass finally showed its sharp claws. It is going to seize the central power by force. All major forces in China are paying close attention to the situation. Whether the contest between the Anhui factions will affect the pattern of the Far East, and which side to support, everyone can't help but weigh.

"A message from the commander-in-chief. It can be said that one stone caused a thousand waves. Now everyone in the world is staring at this military parade!"

"Keep an eye on it, let them stare at it, Zhuo Yan, do you have any good things to come up with. But don't let the big powers look down on us!"

"Don't worry, Marshal. Recently, the arsenal has broken through many technical problems. It has just successfully imitated a 150mm howitzer. Just one shell weighs more than 80 kilograms. There is no artillery of this level in the army of the whole country. In addition, a batch of [-]mm field guns were produced. We have a complete range of artillery from light to heavy, and in terms of firepower, we are not inferior to the Japanese army at all, and even surpass it!"

Zhang Tinglan has confidence in saying this.Japan has limited resources, and has invested a lot of money in the navy. It takes too much power to maintain a combined fleet that is the third largest in the world.The amount that can be invested in the army is correspondingly reduced.Especially now that the tactics of the Japanese army are still stuck during the Russo-Japanese War, there is not much progress, and the outdated equipment has not been updated in time. Facing the Feng army, they no longer have an overwhelming advantage.

"Just be sure, we just want to surprise the world!"

Entry into the customs is imminent, and the military parade ceremony should be as soon as possible. After the preparations, Lao Zhang opened a square in front of the Fengtian North Camp. The troops came out from the North Camp, and after the review, they went directly to the customs. This military parade has completely turned into an oath. General Assembly.

Before Fengtian civil and military officials gathered at the Peking University Camp, Lao Zhang, dressed in military uniform, came to the viewing platform surrounded by many generals.At this time, a large number of foreign military attaches and reporters had gathered around the viewing platform, and they were all paying close attention to the military parade.

When the time for the military parade came, Lao Zhang first rode on the war horse, while Zhang Tinglan rode a bloody BMW and followed closely behind. They walked past the majestic Fengjun team, and every time they reached the front of a phalanx, the soldiers tried their best to Shout the slogan of victory, shaking the world and making everyone's blood boil.

Lao Zhang was also full of ambition. He returned to the viewing stand, and the formation formally began. The first to pass was the infantry phalanx, all of which were veterans of the 27th Division. They had followed Zhang Zuolin for many years and were full of veteran troops.
