Wang Yongan believes that Japan is in the midst of painful post-war reconstruction in history, and has no time to take care of China, so they will ask for some compensation at most, and even the Japanese will build the Jiangbei Railway as a condition, after all, small Japan has coveted the business of building railways in China for a long time, and Wang Yongan hopes to repair relations with Japan by handing over the construction of railways to Japan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In Wang Yongan's memory, at least for 20 years, the Japanese will not drive their army into Jiangbei.

Therefore, Wang Yongan's reaction was somewhat slow, causing Jiangbei to lose control of the political development of the Japanese poisoning, and only handled it as a relatively serious foreign-related case. In fact, Jiangbei has not given up the investigation of the case of the Japanese instructor being poisoned, and Wang Yongan personally told Hou Gan to find evidence to restore the truth of the matter, after all, the Japanese instructor died in Yangzhou. Hou Gan showed through various indications that the Japanese instructor was poisoned a month and a half ago, and that he had a very great deal to do with his chief instructor Okamura Ningji, and he once proposed to Wang Yongan a possibility that Okamura Ningji was the murderer who poisoned his instructor.

Of course, Wang Yongan would rather believe that Okamura Ningji was the murderer, but he has never been able to figure out why he wanted to attack his own people, you must know that if the poisoning of Japanese colleagues is exposed, Okamura Ningji will not only be tolerated in Japan, but also in the world. Of course, Hou Gan's assumptions were all based on his own reasoning, because all the witnesses and exhibits involved had been destroyed, and the Japanese instructors had asked to return to China, and even had no corroborating evidence, so they could only honestly wait for the blackmail of the Japanese.

I didn't expect the Japanese to have such a big appetite, they are challenging their own bottom line, they are trying to regress themselves.

Nineteen years later, the Northeast Army was frightened by the Japanese temptation in Shenyang and retreated, Zhang Xueliang's non-resistance made China lose the Northeast, so he Wang Yongan must not retreat, even if he is broken, even if he cannot fight for hegemony in China in the future, he must not retreat.

On the evening of the day the Yokohama telegram was issued, Wang Yongan immediately summoned Jiang Dengxuan, Zhang Jian, Feng Heng, Xiao Xiangshan, Wei Wenkang, Li Yao, Luo Yinxian, Han Linchun, Wei Daofeng, Xu Dinglin, Shen Yunpei, Qi Gu, Hou Gan, Gu Yanqing, An Yinlin, Houlin, Luo Sen, Shan Qipeng, Gu He, Wang Ancheng, Shao Yongqin, Gan Yulong, Gao Zhaokui, and other backbone cadres in Jiangbei to hold a meeting to respond to the Japanese side's demand for the cession of Nantong as collateral.

Everyone in the venue was silent, the heavy pressure made everyone don't know how to speak, some people smoked dry tobacco pouches, although the tobacco pouch pot is not long, but the golden rod jade bag pot, put it in the hand is quite imposing; Some people smoke Western cigarettes, but because they have not yet invented the filter, they often smoke a puff of smoke foam; Some people close their eyes and observe others, after all, this time the request for Nantong, the most affected is of course Zhang Jian, the king of Nantong, all of Zhang Jian's family business is in Nantong; Others gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, ready to wait a moment to say something impassionedly; Some people were nervous and did not want to provoke the Japanese, but also did not want to suffer in this matter.

Gradually, everyone turned their attention to Wang Yongan, as the actual leader of Jiangbei, what is Wang Yongan's attitude, and the Japanese proposed to let Wang Yongan go to Japan to kneel down and apologize, how will Wang Yongan react? But everyone knew in their hearts that the Japanese had no intention of negotiating at all, so they asked Wang Yongan, commander-in-chief of the Jiangbei Army, to kneel down and apologize, and ask for the hometown of Zhang Jian, the governor of Jiangbei.

Wang Yongan stood up, and everyone focused their eyes on this young man who was only twenty-four years old, his eyes were sharp and his voice was firm, and he said: "Everyone, I believe that the Japanese this time the telegram statement is not a real full-scale declaration of war against China, but they will continue to challenge our bottom line, once we make any concessions, we will retreat to the city of Yangzhou, Nantong is just their excuse, Yangzhou is their real purpose." ”

Everyone suddenly "buzzed" and exploded, the real purpose of the Japanese is Yangzhou, why Yangzhou, what is Yangzhou, if Yangzhou is occupied, then China is finished.

Wang Yongan analyzed: "The reason why I am so sure is because the Japanese will not set a bottom line when any conflict occurs, taking the First Sino-Japanese War as an example, the Japanese idea at the beginning was only to annex Korea and set Korea as their colony. However, after the Japanese defeated the Qing army, they found that they could still attack the northeast region of our country, so the Japanese attacked Lushun, attacked Shenyang, and occupied the Liaodong Peninsula. The Japanese are like a gluttonous snake that never knows what to do when they are hungry, let them eat a little, they will eat a little and then eat a little, and if the other person gives in, they will gradually swallow the other person completely. Don't expect the Japanese to abide by any conventions, Japan is the country that is most particular about sneak attacks and breaking treaties. That's why I decided not to give in to the sun. If Jiangbei does not let it, China will not let it, and if Jiangbei does not let it, the Chinese nation will not let it. ”

"Yun Shuai is right, Jiangbei can't let it." Jiang Dengxuan said loudly, "With my understanding of the Japanese, in the end, they will definitely bite us hard and make us national sinners." ”

"I also don't support peace talks with the Japanese," Zhang Jian said angrily, "The Japanese have no desire to negotiate at all, and even they just say that they will talk about peace talks out of excuses, but can you see Japanese negotiators coming?" ”

"Japanese negotiators, only after our fiasco." Gu Yanqing said with a sneer, as a former Qing official who was born during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and experienced the First Sino-Japanese War, Gu Yanqing understood Japan's negotiation practices too well, "I guess the Japanese have no money, so they will come up with such an excuse to ask us for money." ”

Wang Yongan sneered and said: "Chief of Staff, immediately notify the left side of the Jiangbei Army, notify the right side of the Jiangbei Army, give up the battle with the Qing army, retreat and repair the whole line, and prepare to return to Yangzhou at any time." ”

"But if the Qing army takes the opportunity to occupy Bengbu and Xuzhou at this time, we, we will face annihilation." Someone said suddenly.

"That's right, it's a great time, it's wasted."

"After nearly two months, from the end of February to the beginning of April, they were all cheaper."

"Hey--if it weren't for the troubles made by Little Japan, we would be able to defeat the Qing army in three months, and then we would be able to reach Beijing at that time." Xiao Xiangshan couldn't help but say regretfully.
