At Chang'an International Airport, a military transport plane painted with a blue sky and white sun flag landed slowly.

A delegation from the Nationalist Government arrived in the capital of the Tang Empire, and they will negotiate with the Tang Empire on behalf of the Nationalist Government, and will conduct a second round of negotiations on the issuance of fiat currency and currency reform by the Nationalist Government. However, as a price, the Nationalist government deposited 150 million ounces of silver in the Datang Bank as collateral, and at the same time, fiat currency would also be included in the Tang Yuan system, and the Tang Yuan would naturally enter China duty-free and become a legal foreign currency.

There are huge interests in this, and the three countries of Britain, the United States and Japan have fiercely competed fiercely, all wanting to monopolize the big cake of China's fiat currency, but in the end they all returned home and spent elsewhere, allowing the Tang Empire to pick up the cheap.

Of course, there is no real cheapness to take advantage of this shijie, all thanks to Zhang Meng's secret operation, the strength can get everything.

Until Zuihou, the three countries of Britain, the United States, and Japan will not be reconciled. The agents of the three countries also followed suit and secretly infiltrated Datang, preparing to sabotage the cooperation agreement signed between Tang and China.

All this can't be concealed from the Homeland Security Bureau of the Tang Empire, since the moment the agents of the Tang, the United States and Britain infiltrated the territory of the Tang Dynasty, their every move has already been monitored. It's just that Datang seems to have other arrangements and has no intention of stopping their sabotage operations.

Yoshiko Kawashima is one of them, she is from Japan's special high school, she thought that she had infiltrated the Tang Dynasty seamlessly, but she was even more self-righteous and came to Chang'an as a princess of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. thought that she could be close to the Tang people, but she didn't know that her identity as a special high school had already been known to the Tang intelligence agency, and even because Zhang Meng paid special attention to her. The Datang Homeland Security Bureau focuses on "taking care of her".

After Yoshiko Kawashima entered the Tang Dynasty, she immediately made full arrangements to prevent officials of the Nationalist Government from meeting with officials of the Tang Dynasty. Because the Tang Empire was extremely strict on the entry of personnel, it was difficult to bring in weapons, so Kawashima Yoshiko and his party had to contact the local Shili of the Tang Dynasty, intending to buy some weapons.

Surprisingly, Yoshiko Kawashima easily came to a deal with an indigenous Tongan person. A shipment of guns and ammunition, and even grenades and explosives, were purchased from him.

Yoshiko Kawashima came to Datang for the first time and didn't know much about this nascent country. There was no suspicion either, and the operation was immediately deployed.

At the same time, British and American agents were doing the same, and they were also buying the weapons and explosives they needed.

None of the three parties wants to see cooperation between Tang and China. Therefore, almost all of them were ambushed in the middle of the road. Waiting for the ambush of the convoy of the National Government.

However, what they never expected was that when the convoy with the blue sky and white sun flag passed by, some of them suddenly felt a whirlwind of the sky, and at some point, several grenade-like things slowly rolled to their side, and the thing quickly and silently released white gas, which immediately stunned them. Others were cautious after all, and they covered their mouths and noses as soon as possible. However, flashbangs flew in soon, and in an instant their eyes were white. By the time they recovered, the Datang agents had already rushed to them.

In less than ten seconds, these well-trained agents of Britain, the United States and Japan were all captured, and they were finally defeated without knowing the power of the Datang agents in advance, but it was too late to regret it.

However, what is puzzling is that the group of Datang agents responsible for attacking Kawashima Yoshiko deliberately slowed down by half a beat, and it was not until several Japanese threw grenades to blow up several cars of the Nationalist Government and shoot each other that the Datang agents took action to arrest Kawashima Yoshiko and his party.

The sudden explosion and gunfight on a peaceful and prosperous street really frightened the nearby Tang people and foreign tourists, but fortunately, except for five or six dead and wounded in the convoy of the Nationalist Government, the civilians were not injured.

This incident immediately alarmed the high-level of the Tang Empire and the National Government, and soon all shijie knew, because the Tang Empire seemed to be able to exaggerate the incident, and Zhang Meng, the supreme commander of the Tang Empire, issued a wanted warrant for the emperor to arrest the murderer and severely punish the main messenger behind the scenes.

In fact, the agents of Britain, the United States and Japan were arrested when the incident broke out, but the Tang Empire deliberately conducted a high-profile investigation, ostensibly to give an explanation to the Nationalist Government, after all, such a thing happened in the capital of the Tang Empire, and the Tang Empire itself lost face. In fact, this was just Zhang Meng and Tan Jincheng discussing haodejihua, with the purpose of finding an excuse for war against Japan and knocking on Britain and the United States.

Sure enough, Britain, the United States, and Japan were all very nervous, and they knew that the assassination of the negotiators of the Nationalist Government was probably the work of their agents, but they did not dare to speak out. Especially after losing contact with their respective agents, the three countries are worried about the incident being exposed.

A few days later, the Tang Empire publicly announced that the results of the investigation showed that it was the work of the Japanese special high school, issued a solemn protest against Japan, and demanded that Japan reply within 24 hours, otherwise it would bear the consequences.

The Japanese government obviously did not recognize it, and France, as an ally of Japan, immediately stood up and spoke, demanding that the Tang Empire not spew blood, and at the same time contact the two traditional allies of Britain and the United States to protest against the Tang Dynasty.

Britain and the United States originally wanted to say something, after all, they were not happy with the "shameless behavior" of the Tang Empire in some areas, which caused them heavy losses, but soon both of them received secret notes from the Tang Dynasty, and photos of all British and American agents being captured appeared on the desks of Hoover and Stanley.

Zhang Meng didn't intend to tear his face with them, indicating that this time he was only targeting Japan, but he needed Britain and the United States to pay some price, that is, the Tang Dynasty would teach Japan a lesson, Britain and the United States had to stand on the side of the Tang Empire on this issue, and they would prevent France from interfering.

Zhang Meng's goal was already aimed at Taiwan, and he knew very well that it was unrealistic for him to completely destroy Japan at this time, and that would definitely force France to enter the war recklessly. Therefore, Zhang Meng only wanted to cut off the flesh from the Japanese with a knife, and the first thing was to get Taiwan back first.

And Taiwan is China's territory, and this time it is the people of the Nationalist Government who were killed, Zhang Meng wants this result, once Datang sends troops to Taiwan, it will stand on the moral high ground. If Britain and the United States help to set this off, France will carefully consider whether it will enter the war because of the Taiwan issue.

Stanley and Hoover sent representatives to contact Zhang Meng, and after learning that Zhang Meng would only seize Taiwan and would not invade the Japanese mainland, the two of them were willing to jointly suppress France and prevent it from entering the war, and in exchange, Zhang Meng had to release the British and American "tourists" in Tang.

Zhang Meng reached a consensus with Stanley and Hoover, from Britain and the United States, they also wanted to see how the military strength of the Tang Empire was, and they were very eager to know what the Chiyou-class super battleship built by the Tang Empire had turned into a super aircraft carrier, and what was hidden in it.

Tang and Japan went to war again, in fact, it was an opportunity for Britain and the United States, on the one hand, they could make a big deal in arms and strategic material business, on the other hand, the Tang and Japanese war must greatly weaken the liliang of both sides, although the Tang Empire had won a game before, but it was while Japan was unprepared, now Japan is prepared, the outcome of the war is still unknown, if the Tang Empire suffers a heavy blow, then Britain and the United States do not mind sharpening their knives Huo Huo cut down the Tang Dynasty, and snatch back the huge gold and banknotes that were robbed by Zhang Meng before, every time I think of this, Britain and the United States gritted their teeth, which shows how much they hate Zhang Meng, and they wish that Datang would fall into the abyss of war, so they are naturally happy to arrange Datang to go to war with Japan again.

Of course, there is no credibility between countries, although Britain and the United States said that they would suppress France to enter the war, but when it really came to a critical time, it could not be ruled out that Britain and the United States would encourage France to also enter the war, after all, weakening the Tang Dynasty was their real goal.

Zhang Meng didn't know the real purpose of Britain and the United States agreeing to his request so easily, he really didn't want France to enter the war early, because that meant that Germany needed to fulfill the Tang-German alliance treaty and enter the war, so the second Shijie War would inevitably break out, but the problem was that Germany and Italy were not ready, so Zhang Meng had to make an expedient measure, hit Taiwan first, it was not a pain to Japan, and France could not easily start a war with the Tang Dynasty because of a Japanese colony, After all, France's focus is not on the Pacific, but on Germany and Italy in Europe. Germany and Italy are also allies, and for France, the local threat is very great, so Zhang Meng will choose to fight Taiwan, which can only be regarded as a local war, after making a comprehensive consideration, and take the situation into his own hands, and everything is under control.

In the end, the Tang Empire fought against Japan together with the Nationalist Government, and the Tang Empire was responsible for attacking Taiwan under the banner of helping the Nationalist Government regain lost territory, while the Nationalist Government sent troops to recover the Northeast.

However, in fact, the Nationalist Government had to make such a decision in the face of domestic anti-Japanese public opinion, and it did not want to offend the creditors of the Tang Empire, while the main force of Jiang Zhongzheng was suppressing the Communists, and the pro-Japanese faction of the Nationalist Government secretly reached an agreement with Japan, but in fact, the Nationalist Army did not really go to the northeast to participate in the war.

Obviously, the Japanese side knew Jiang Zhongzheng's mind too well, so the Japanese cabinet was not afraid of the alliance between the Tang Empire and the Nationalist Government. It's just that to Minoru Saito's disappointment, France did not even say whether it would enter the war, apparently estimating the huge pressure from Britain, the United States, Germany and Italy. However, Germany and Italy did not declare war on Japan, and it is clear that Germany and Italy did not dare to take risks easily because of their own lack of preparation. The allies of the Tang Empire and the Japanese Empire had no intention of participating in the war, so the question returned to the level of the Tang-Japanese war.

It's just that the goal of the Tang Empire this time is to go to Taiwan, and the Japanese military immediately mobilized to strengthen Taiwan's defense and prepare for another war with the Tang Empire. (To be continued......)
