"Zhang Dashuai, I don't know if you have found the murderer of our soldiers?" The special envoy of the Japanese governor of Kwantung Prefecture, Ogawa Shigenao, was very unceremonious and directly questioned Zhang Zuolin without greetings.

"Unfortunately, our police are already working hard to hunt down the murderer, but so far, we have no clues about the murderer." Zhang Dashuai's new adjutant Guo Songling informed the situation very objectively.

"Obviously, such an outcome will not satisfy our government and military." Ogawa stood up and was about to leave, and then asked the secretary to deliver an ultimatum and it was done.

"Your Excellency, please stay." Guo Songling said unhurriedly: "I still have a document that I would like to ask your envoy to forward to His Excellency the Governor. ”

"Okay." Xiao Chuan, who thought that something had changed, took the document, looked at it, and immediately stared at it, "Yours, this, what do you mean?" ”

"Work in the written sense." Guo Songling smiled: "As we said in the document, we will send a telegram to the whole country in 15 minutes to announce the change of flag in Northeast China and accept the leadership of the central government of the Republic of China, and at the same time, the national defense forces will be stationed in the three northeastern provinces to shoulder the heavy responsibility of national defense." From now on, the Feng Army was reorganized into the Northeast Group Army of the National Defense Forces, and Zhang Dashuai served as the commander of the group army. ”

After speaking, Guo Songling raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Now the 9th Division and the 17th Division of the Seventh Group Army of the National Defense Army have entered the Luda area, and in five minutes they will be handed over to the 26th Division of our department." Your unit will have to deal with the Wehrmacht of these two divisions in the future, and if your unit needs to negotiate with them, I can introduce you to the two sides on your behalf. ”

"Zhang Dashuai, have you forgotten the strong support that the empire has given you?" Out of the angry Xiao Chuan sneered, "I didn't expect Zhang Dashuai to be scared by the Northwest Bandits of the National Defense Army like those soft bones in his direct line, are you worried that the National Defense Army will also exterminate you who used to be a beard in the Northeast?" ”

"I've never worried about the Wehrmacht." In fact, Zhang Zuolin, who had a somewhat guilty conscience when he said this, did not fail to be wary of the National Defense Army, but judging from the reactions of the subordinates of the 27th Division, Xiao Liuzi, and Guo Songling, the combat effectiveness of the four divisions he had worked so hard to accumulate may not even be able to defeat the National Defense Army of one division. "I've heard that the Wehrmacht can forgive anyone who has been a bandit but has washed his hands, just like a sin."

Speaking of this, Lao Zhang stared at him and bit it word by word, "It's a traitor who will never forgive." That's right, my Lao Zhang has been a beard, and I have also had the experience of being a Qing military manager, I Lao Zhang dare to do anything in his life, but this traitor I Lao Zhang dare not do it. ”

"Since the handsome man is obsessed, then this is the end of the next word, farewell."

"No." Ogawa walked out of the mansion in a huff, he didn't realize that this would be the last time he came here, he thought that he would return to this mansion as the master with the army of the Japanese Empire in the future, but unfortunately he never had this opportunity again.

Fifteen minutes later, the people of the whole country heard the shocking news on the radio: Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the Fengjun Army, who had been subservient to the Japanese threat, actually announced that he would change his flag and lead the three eastern provinces to join the republic. At this time, except for the minister stationed in Tibet, the whole country has nominally achieved reunification (Yang Zengxin of Xinjiang has always been subordinate to the central government, regardless of whether this central government is a pigtail or a revolutionary party). For this purpose, Jov held a grand march of 10,000 people of the revolutionary party to celebrate the unity of the whole country under the banner of the revolutionary party, and seemed to not mind that the national flag did not adopt the blue sky and white sun that he had always insisted on, but used the red and yellow stripes and a white deformed revolutionary party flag with a large white sun as suggested by Song Dunchu and a revolutionary party congressman who worshiped the American-French republican system.

However, in the middle of the ceremony of celebrating the great reunification of Qiaofu, Lao Zhang's second telegram was sent out after 12 hours, announcing that because the people in the three northeastern provinces were different from those in Guannai, in order to safeguard the rights and interests of 17 million compatriots in the northeast, he had decided to follow the example of the northern provinces to exercise autonomy and join the autonomous alliance of the 11 northern provinces, and at the same time announced the news that Fengjun had joined the national defense force. The Ministry of National Defense, a unit that is separated from all government departments, also announced at the first time that it would accept the change of flag and banner of the Feng Army, and gave it a treatment that was much higher than that of the direct army, which was broken up and reorganized, and was reorganized into four divisions of the Northeast Group Army, and Zhang Dashuai became the commander of the group army of the National Defense Army, with the rank of lieutenant general of the National Defense Army, and Wu Junsheng, deputy commander of the group army, and Zhang Zuoxiang, commander of the 27th Division, concurrently served as chief of staff. Now Jof was dumbfounded, and he slapped his face and slapped him on the parade he organized, which is called self-inflicted humiliation.

Another depressed brother Zhang Zuoxiang, when he saw his rank of lieutenant general and the appointment of chief of staff, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why don't you believe that Zhang Zuolin doesn't believe that he has any agreement with the National Defense Force, and he obviously hasn't even sent a supervisor of the army, and he, the chief of staff, is appointed by Chief Wu to personally appoint the generals, isn't it on behalf of him General Wu to supervise the various departments of the Fengjun? Saying that he did not hook up with the Wehrmacht in advance, who would believe it? Even he felt a little trance, and after a circle of reasoning, he felt that he should be the internal response of the Wehrmacht. You said that I recruited someone to provoke whom, now I don't even have to do brothers, so I don't have to fight with the Wehrmacht, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, compared to fratricidal brotherhood and Yu Shuai's death, this ending is not bad.

But compared to them, it was the governor of Kanto who almost vomited blood. Good and dignified, you said that you are cheap, what kind of ultimatum, this old pimple looks at the five big and three thick and very strong, how can a guy be so intimidated, do you want to really do you, you said that you are in a hurry to vote for what boss, can't we Japanese cover you Zhang Yuting? This is a good thing, and the situation in South Manchuria, which originally had an advantage, has been turned into a chicken and egg beating, and a cup full of coffee tables. There is no way to make things settle by yourself, so that all the departments in the Kwantung region are mobilized and ready to intervene in the northeast to change the flag and banner, but this time you can't do anything alone, in case the Wehrmacht is provoked again, the Kwantung garrison of the five infantry brigades and one infantry artillery brigade of your own family can hit a few nails even if they are all iron, and then the other party will have one

The Japanese army in Kwantung Prefecture, who got up in the morning, found that the Fengjun position opposite was already in full swing? The officers hurriedly set up the artillery team to observe, and I don't know when the Feng troops on the opposite side have been replaced by a group of soldiers wearing black, white, gray and thick jackets, who are busy driving bulldozers and excavators. The original shack has been bulldozed into a large pit, and the barrels protruding from the ground have become temporary artillery positions. This is not the kind of more than 100 kilograms of Taisho infantry artillery on his own side can be compared, from the length of the barrel is probably a cannon, the caliber is not less than 90 mm, there are six cannons on the front of less than two kilometers of his own, not to mention the machine gun forts that are obviously reinforced with reinforced concrete, and the pit viper-shaped barbed wire fence is blocked three or four layers in front of the position. Look at the open space in front of the barbed wire fence that was trampled on the unsightly snow, probably not less laid mines, the Japanese squadron leader who watched couldn't help but feel bitter in his mouth, if the superior suddenly showed off and asked him to lead people to attack such a position, then he might as well give himself a happy one, at least he could end up with a whole corpse, the impression of the seniors and colleagues who were stumps and broken bodies all over the hillside in front of Erling Mountain made him deeply afraid of this vicious defensive position, looking at the worried looks of the squad leaders and team deputies around him, it seems that he is probably not the only one who thinks so.

"The little devil really didn't move?" Zhang Dashuai, who was worried, and when he met Xiaochuan the day before yesterday, it seemed that Zhang Dashuai was also stiff and did not collapse.

"No, but it can be said that there is." Guo Songling looked at the hesitant handsome and had a bad taste coming out again, and the anxious boss almost pumped him, Guo Songling hurriedly said, "The Japanese army in Kwantung Prefecture has retreated to the boundary site outside Pulandian, and has also set up defensive positions on the hills, and it seems that they were frightened by the Wehrmacht. ”

"Hey, yes, yes." Although it is the rhythm of a long breath, Zhang Zuolin's face is very complicated, Xiao Liuzi can see at least four emotions from his father's face: relaxation, relief, chagrin, and shame, and he never thought that his omnipotent father actually had this kind of heroic shortness of breath.

"Little Sixth Son, you and Guo Songling clean up, and tomorrow we will take the train to Jinan to report to your Uncle Wu."

"Huh? Dad" "Yes, Dashuai" Xiao Liuzi and Guo Songling's different answers made Zhang Dashuai have a kind of sigh that he should have a son like Sun Zhongmou, Guo Songling's understanding did not say, compared to Xiao Liuzi is a benchmark for a gentleman, maybe the foundation of the three northeastern provinces ended in his own hands is not the favor of this only son, otherwise if he is defeated in the hands of domestic forces, he may be able to keep a peace, if the three eastern provinces are defeated by the Japanese, then let the ancestors of the old Zhang family enjoy the infamy of traitors.

"Song Ling, I won't say more, Xiao Liuzi will be handed over to you, when you get to the attendant's room, you should mention him more, if you make a small mistake, you have to be impartial, what should you do, don't be soft, and suffer a little for his good."

Zhang Dashuai didn't say what to do if he made a big mistake, but Guo Guizi is also a clever person, of course, he understands that saving the young master's life is the first thing. But then again, it's not a matter of molesting the chief's wife, probably Chief Wu won't want the life of the little sixth son. Zhang Dashuai instructed Xiao Liuzi to listen to his brother Guo Songling's words, Xiao Liuzi was worried that Lao Guo would take this as a sword to restrain him from picking up girls, but Daddy's disobedient promise to slap you to death made him follow Lao Guo out to prepare for the packing.

"Dashuai, are you really going to surrender your gun?" Although he became the governor of Rehe, Tang Erhu's tiger temper did not improve, which is why Zhang Zuolin has always believed in him.

"Brother Erhu, our Fengjun is not successful." When Zhang Zuolin said this, he showed a trace of fatigue, the original king of the Northeast who stared and killed people was like an old general, his anger was no longer there, and what remained was the vicissitudes of the veteran. "We can't beat the little devils, even if there is less than one division, we can single-handedly take on our entire Feng army, but as soon as the national defense army comes up, the two divisions will scare them back, do you think that if it weren't for Boss Wu to save face for the brothers, would our more than 50,000 masters be able to hold them for a week? Forget it, Brother Erhu, people have to accept their fate, we are not the destiny of the Son of Heaven who sits on the dragon chair, and being able to be a foreigner who eats and drinks spicy food is considered a blessing in this life. ”

"Ahh Tang Erhu touched his gray head, looked at the old brother who was more than ten years old, and he also put down the shelf, "Brother, you are the top of our brothers, if you are convinced, what the old brother didn't say, just surrender the gun with you." Speaking of which, when Wu Fantai was able to bring a few thousand people, he dared to start a battle with Lao Maozi, and he won the war. is also regarded as the emperor of the founding of the country, and I am old enough to serve him. ”

"That, the founding emperor of our republic is Qiao," Zhang Zuolin reminded weakly.

"Fart, he's so poor and sour, he's a two-knife with a scalpel, and he's still the emperor, and he will pull out his cheek sooner or later to give up his seat." Tang Erhu looked down on Qiao Cannon, and they didn't like it.

"Hmm..."Zhang Zuolin also fell into deep thought, Erhu's words gave him a little new understanding, maybe...
