After all, it was a military conflict.

Zhang Zizhong must accept orders from Beijing at any time.

379 Military Conflict 2

"Nomura-kun, do you think this works?"

Military adventure?

The Japanese military does not think this is a military adventure.

During the process of Japan's rise, there were many risky situations, and even many of them were gambling behaviors.Whether it was the Sino-Japanese War or the later Russo-Japanese War, Japan put all its eggs in one basket, and if it failed, it might fall into a land of eternal doom.Because judging from the situation at the time, no matter whether it was the Qing Dynasty or Russia, they were all giants compared to Japan.

Japan is indeed a national bet.

How is the result?

It turned out to be a big success in Japan.

In the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], Japan won a huge victory, obtained huge compensation from China, controlled the Korean peninsula, and stretched its hand into the northeast of China.Moreover, World War I destroyed the achievements of China's so-called Westernization Movement, and World War I destroyed the confidence of many Chinese people, and World War I became the leader in Asia.

And what about the Russo-Japanese War?

Although later, because Russia did not lose money, Japan had great financial problems and fell into a financial crisis.However, relying on the victory of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan aggressively expanded in the Northeast and controlled many rights and interests in the Northeast.

More importantly, with the victory over Russia, Japan has truly entered the ranks of the great powers.Can be qualified to talk with European and American powers on an equal footing.

This is all the result of the Japanese adventure.

It was a big success.

Therefore, the Japanese military became more and more superstitious about themselves.

But this time they didn't think it was an adventure.In their eyes, Duan Xun's government is the government they supported, and Duan Xun is their puppet.Duan Xun's government, supported by the Japanese government, should have completely obeyed Japan's words and safeguarded Japan's interests.

But after the wings hardened, he wanted to resist.

This is absolutely not allowed.In their view, it is very necessary to give the Chinese people some warnings and the Duan Xun government a warning.

"Hmph, of course."

Commander of the Anqing Wharf Garrison.

The commander of the garrison stationed at Anqing Wharf is called Nomura Masao, and his rank is not low, with the rank of Colonel.Because he was not only in charge of commanding the troops at the Anqing Wharf, but also the police around the wharf, as well as the mine police owned by Japan in Anhui and Jiangsu.He is not even here usually, because he is still a Japanese military attache in Shanghai.

It can also be regarded as a rising star in the Japanese military circle.

"The Chinese government is really too daring. It even let the police force shoot and hurt the citizens of our empire. This kind of thing must not be tolerated. We must let them know how powerful we are."

"But……"

"Tanaka-kun, you are a soldier of the Imperial Japanese Empire. You should not be so hesitant. Our predecessors have come to our current position through the blood of the Qing Dynasty and the Russian Empire."

Masao Nomura snorted coldly.

My own chief of staff is actually a senior in school who is a year above him.The grades are good and the level is good.It's a pity that his personality is too soft, and the generals above don't like his soft personality, so his promotion speed in the army is a bit slow.

On the contrary, the military rank is behind that of Nomura Masao.

"Nomura-kun, I still think it's too risky. China's current cabinet minister, Duan Xun, is the one who bombarded British warships in the early years. If his troops fight back, how can we explain it?"

"Humph."

Masao Nomura was very dissatisfied with Tanaka.

So he said directly: "How dare those Chinese people bombard British warships. At that time, Britain was fighting in the European War and had no time to take care of the Far East. With the support of the empire, Duan Xun dared to bombard British warships. Without the support of our empire, How dare he go against the British. It is precisely because of the support of the empire that he can rely on these things to win countless praises and support in China and become the current cabinet prime minister. It is a pity that the people of China are ungrateful and have forgotten the empire Support him. This kind of person must teach him a lesson. How much time is left from the last time we gave?"

Masao Nomura didn't want to talk nonsense with him either.

So just ask how much time is left.Tanaka was very helpless in his heart.Because he always feels that something is wrong recently, or something is wrong with the Chinese army.

Tanaka has been studying Duan Xun these days.

It's hard to see through this guy.

But these people in the military have always had their eyes above the top.It is always believed that Japan defeated the Qing Empire, defeated the Russian Empire, and later defeated the Germans.Slowly and completely defiantly, not putting anyone in the eyes at all.

They don't even bother to study the Chinese army at all.

Very contemptuous of them.

Not to mention anything else, what is currently stationed in Anqing is a unit of the Chinese army, with at least 4 to 500 troops.As for Masao Nomura, there are only two infantry squadrons in his hands, plus the logistics force and some surrounding Japanese police, the total number is only more than [-] people.

But Nomura Masao is full of confidence.

I think the Chinese army in front of me is vulnerable, or that the Chinese army dare not fight back at all.

too risky.

For Tanakano, who has a cautious personality, the Japanese warship on the Yangtze River and Masao Nomura are completely in the middle of the fire.Once the Chinese army fights back, what will happen then?

It's a pity that it seems that Masao Nomura is not prepared for this at all, and it is natural to think that the Chinese army will not dare to fight back.

But Masao Nomura asked, and Tanaka said immediately: "There are still about twenty minutes left."

"These Chinese people haven't given any news yet. They are slow to do things. You send someone to tell Zhong Zuo Tsuruta that as soon as the time comes, you can ignore anything. Just bomb Anqing."

Masao Nomura never thought about the answer from the Chinese government.

After all, it can be decided within an hour to hand over to the policeman.This kind of thing is not something that Anqing can decide, nor can Anhui Province decide.

Definitely a cabinet decision.

But this kind of thing is reported to Beijing, and then Beijing makes a decision, and the final order is passed to Anqing, and I don't know how many hours.An hour is simply not enough.

Masao Nomura just doesn't want the Chinese government to answer, and then use this as an excuse to teach China a lesson.

"This……"

Tanaka frowned again.

It was one thing to bombard warnings before.Although there may be casualties, but there will not be too many casualties, and the Chinese government can bear it.But if Anqing was directly bombarded, then it would not be a little casualties.

There will be countless casualties.

Can the Chinese government tolerate it?

"Tanaka-kun, do you know? It is precisely because the politicians in the cabinet who sit in the office every day only know how to maintain the relationship with Duan Xun, what happened now, made Duan Xun more and more courageous, dared to resist the empire, Offending the interests of the empire. If we had put military pressure on Duan Xun long ago, how would Duan Xun dare to resist. Now is the time to correct this mistake. We have to tell Duan Xun that the consequences of offending the Great Japanese Empire will be very serious. Great Japan The empire does not allow insults. Go and pass the order."
