Beiyang reactionaries

"of course."

Duan Xun nodded.

Then he said seriously: "Tsuruta-kun, you and I have known each other for more than three years, and our cooperation has always been very tacit. Of course we are friends, and we are still good friends."

"However, General Duan, your army does not behave properly, but it does not regard me as a friend at all."

"Tsuruta-kun, what did you say?"

"General Duan, we only have a small army of about a hundred people in Kulun. The main purpose is to protect our diplomats. General Duan, you also know that since the beginning of the Russian Civil War, many Russian troops have been defeated and entered Mongolia. , became bandits, harmed Mongolia, and threatened the lives of our diplomats. In order to protect our diplomats and our citizens, we will send a small army of about [-] people. Is there any What's wrong?"

Tsuruta Tatsuya was also very angry.

Duan Xun immediately smiled and said: "How could it be? Protecting its own diplomats is something that any country should do, and there is nothing wrong with it."

But in my heart I cursed secretly.

damn it.

Although Outer Mongolia has been in a state of autonomy for these years, it is still part of China's territory.You don't care whether you send 1000 people or 100 people, without the consent of the Chinese government, you stationed troops in Kulun without authorization, is it reasonable for you?

But on the surface, Duan Xun did a very good job.

It's the little things.

Why should the two sides tear their skins apart for such a small matter.So Duan Xun's attitude is still very good.

"General Duan, but your troops disarmed them and gave them no leeway. General Duan, we are friends, and I am very sad that this happened. With the relationship between you and me, the relationship between us Such unpleasant things should not happen, he will affect the friendship between us."

"Tsuruta-kun, I just heard about this too."

Duan Xun continued to smile.

"It doesn't have to be so extreme. If you and I have a good discussion, it would be easy to solve. Don't worry, I have already told them about this matter. After solving Cullen's problem, I will take Wang Yinchuan He was transferred to take on important tasks. But this time he handled the matter too recklessly, without considering the friendship between you and me at all. Therefore, I am going to let him reflect on it in Cullen."

Tsuruta Tatsuya's face changed slightly.

It's different from what I thought before.Duan Xun is not such a person who likes to compromise.And I don't know if it's because I grew up in the military academy, and I have a strong temper in some things.If you press him harder, the rebound will be stronger.

Originally, Tatsuya Tsuruta thought that Duan Xun would find various excuses.

Unexpectedly, Duan Xun said very seriously that he would definitely punish Wang Yinchuan who made the decision without authorization, and his attitude was very good.This made Tsuruta Tatsuya feel that his punch had hit the cotton.Originally, Tsuruta Tatsuya wanted to use this matter to make Duan Xun make a lot of concessions.But Duan Xun's attitude is so good now, all the previous preparations of Tsuruta Tatsuya are useless.

Of course Wang Yinchuan, Tsuruta Tatsuya, knew that he was a general of the Beijing government when Duan Qirui was there.

It is also pro-Japanese.

When Duan Qirui controlled the Beijing government, his status in Beijing was very high.Even if he defected to Duan Xun, his status should not be too low.But seeing that Duan Xun was going to send Wang Yinchuan to Mongolia, Tsuruta was really confused?

Could it be that this matter is really not what Duan Xun meant?Originally, Tatsuya Tsuruta had been thinking, is Duan Xun going to turn against Japan?Or is Duan Xun testing the bottom of Japan?

But it doesn't look like that today.

"Mr. Hetian, I hope you understand Wang Yinchuan. He has been called a 'traitor' by public opinion these days, so this time he has gone too far. Maybe he wants to get rid of this infamy quickly, so it is too extreme. But I He will definitely be punished this time, and he will be sent to Mongolia for at least two years, and he will not be allowed to come back. I am very disappointed that this happened, and at the same time, I do not hope that this matter will affect our cooperation."

"of course."

Tsuruta Tatsuya can't tell what Duan Xun is thinking now.Therefore, he immediately probed: "General Duan, since we have already discussed it, can we return our weapons and equipment to them?"

"Tsuruta-kun, we are friends, we should be considerate of each other, and you should also consider my position. My people have already collected their weapons, maybe everyone already knows. Now you ask me to hand over the weapons, not only can I not I can’t explain to my people, and I can’t explain to people outside. Don’t worry, the diplomats and citizens of your country in Kulun are our most important guests. The lives and properties of your country’s diplomats and citizens are safe, and I The troops will be fully responsible. And I will give them a privilege, they can go directly to the military if they have anything to do."

joke.

The weapons are all collected, and I want to take out the weapons by myself, how will I lead the army in the future.

Some can and some can't.

Seeing Duan Xun's resolute attitude, Tsuruta Tatsuya smiled slightly and said, "Yes. We are friends and should be considerate of each other. Then this matter will end like this."

"Thank you Tsuruta-kun for your understanding."

"It's nothing."

Tsuruta Tatsuya waved his hand.

Then he said: "General Duan, the Ministry of the Navy of our country hopes to cooperate with the general to establish a joint headquarters in the Yangtze River."

"Joint Command?"

Duan Xun was taken aback.

Totally don't understand what it means.

"Our Ministry of the Navy means that our country's warships in the Yangtze River and the general's marine police force will establish a joint command to be jointly responsible for the safety of the Yangtze River and the stability of the Yangtze River."

Duan Xun moved his fingers under the table several times in a row.

Suddenly angry.

But his face was very calm.Years of superiors have also exercised Duan Xun's ability to control emotions.Not expressing emotions or anger is the most basic ability of a person like Duan Xun.

Damn little Japan.

Combined Command?

Thankfully they figured it out.Duan Xun can clearly feel Japan's ambitions.Although due to Duan Xun's reasons in recent years, Japan's power in the Yangtze River Basin has greatly increased.However, compared with Britain, the overlord here for many years, Japan's strength is still much weaker.

After all, the Yangtze River Basin is where Britain has been operating for 70 to [-] years.

How many forces here are related to the United Kingdom, and how many forces are cultivated by the United Kingdom.Japan obviously wants to push Britain out and become the overlord of the Yangtze River Basin.So the last time Japan and Duan Xun wanted an independent wharf to develop Japan's power in the Yangtze River.

But even so, Japan is not sure enough to defeat Britain.Especially with the end of the European War, Britain will always return to the Far East.It may be a year later, or it may be two years later, anyway, Britain will definitely come back within a few years.

At that time, British warships will appear in the Yangtze River again.

Japan has developed rapidly in recent years, but facing a hegemon like the United Kingdom, Japan still feels a little guilty.In the Yangtze River Basin, Japan is not sure that it can suppress Britain.So I want to kidnap Duan Xun.

Cooperate with Duan Xun to suppress Britain.

That's why the so-called Joint Command was created.

"How to form it?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Usually, we are in charge of our own affairs, and we don't belong to each other. But we set up a joint command to exchange information and share intelligence. When something happens, we can act together."

Tsuruta Tatsuya said it very simply.

It is indeed very simple, but Duan Xun knows that this kind of thing cannot be so simple.As long as this joint command starts, it won't be that simple.The Japanese navy will take advantage of this opportunity and will firmly tie Duan Xun's troops to Japan.
