Chapter 203: Can't afford to gamble?
History does have a very great inertia, and it is very difficult to change. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, that doesn't mean history won't change.
Not to mention anything else, since he came to this world, the history of Liaodong has begun to change because of himself.
Even Huang Xing may give up the establishment of the Huaxing Society and stay in the Liaodong Army.
Not to mention Lao Maozi, who already knew that two months later, Japan was about to launch a large-scale attack.
More importantly, Lao Maozi is now dispatching heavy troops to encircle and suppress himself, which is the most correct choice for both reason and reason.
In the case that he was bought by the Liaodong Army, if Lao Maozi did not send troops to encircle and suppress him, let himself continue to occupy Liaozhong. Not only can he drag down a large number of Lao Maozi troops before the outbreak of war, but he can even give Lao Maozi a fatal blow from the back of Lao Maozi at a critical moment.
Therefore, whether it is for the imminent outbreak of war, or to take revenge on himself, Lao Maozi will dispatch heavy troops in a short period of time to encircle and suppress himself.
As for the overstretched strength of Lao Maozi's Liaodong garrison, this is not a problem at all.
Lao Maozi did not have the Liaodong garrison, which did not mean that he did not have the Far East garrison.
In order to defeat the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War that was about to break out, it would be possible for Lao Maozi to transfer troops from China now.
Thinking of this, Yang Xingguo's brows furrowed directly.
Facing Murakami Shaoza, he asked directly: "Murakami Shaoza, I want to know the strength and equipment of the Russian army...... It would be great if the offensive lines of the Russian army could be found. ”
A smile of successful trickery quickly flashed on Murakami's face.
Although this smile disappeared quickly, Yang Xingguo, who had a vicious eye, was still very keenly aware of it.
"It's not good, what kind of scheming is the little devil going to play......"
Yang Xingguo just had a bad premonition in his heart, and Murakami Shaozo shook his head and said.
"Commander Yang, I don't know the specific situation. However, I have contacted the Imperial Japanese War Department and, I believe, the latest intelligence about the Russian army. I'm sure I'll get to it soon......"
"The Liaodong Army is a friend of my Imperial Japan, and we are now cooperating in the fight against the Russian army. As long as Commander Yang continues to fulfill the agreement we made when we cooperated, our Great Japanese Empire will never watch the Liaodong Army defeated by the Russian army......"
"In addition, our Imperial Japan is in order to support the Liaodong Army. It was decided to transfer another 30 low-level officers from the garrisons in various places to join the Liaodong Army and assist the Liaodong Army in defeating the heavy encirclement and suppression of the Russian army......"
After speaking, Murakami Shaozo didn't care about Yang Xingguo's reaction, with a face full of arrogance and confidence. Hurriedly left the headquarters.
And Yang Xingguo, on the spot, stared at Murakami Shaozuo's back farther and farther away with an iron face, and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Yang Xingguo is not a fool, and he immediately heard the hidden meaning of Murakami's words.
Compromise with them themselves, accept these Japanese officers, and no longer restrict the activities of these Japanese in the Liaodong Army.
Murakami will tell himself all the information about the Russian army.
If you don't compromise with him, then don't expect to get too much meaningful information from him.
Of course, Yang Xingguo is confident that he can do without much intelligence. Rely on the right time, the right place, the right people and the defeat of the Russian army.
However, the losses of the troops will certainly be very large.
However, if Murakami can provide him with a steady stream of accurate information, he will definitely be able to defeat the Russian army and win the battle at the lowest cost.
Not long after Murakami Shaoza left, Zhou Zhongju came over.
Yang Xingguo did not hide it. directly told Zhou Zhongju about the news and purpose brought by Murakami Shaoza.
"Commander, these little devils are obviously not giving up, and they still want to force us to comply. Got the command of our Liaodong Army. The Liaodong Army was built up by us step by step, and we must not just be so cheap to the Japanese, and we must not promise them ......"
The midweek statement was categorical.
However, after saying that, a thick expression of worry appeared on his face.
looked at Yang Xingguo and said apologetically: "There are still ...... Commander. Second uncle, I'm sorry for you. It has been so long before our intelligence has spread to several surrounding counties......"
"If we had our own information, we wouldn't have to look at the faces of the Japanese......"
"It's not your ......," Yang Xingguo replied by shaking his head.
"Intelligence is our shortcoming. No matter who it is, it is impossible to find the intelligence personnel to the Lao Maozi headquarters in just two months......"
Although the second uncle Zhou Zhongju's face looked a lot better, he still asked worriedly, "Commander, what are you going to do?" ”
"Whatever? Let's get the information first......" Yang Xingguo replied without thinking.
"Isn't that to want the Japanese to compromise and allow them to form a gang in our Liaodong Army and control our Liaodong Army?" Zhou Zhongju was stunned suddenly, looked at Yang Xingguo, and asked with an incredulous expression.
Yang Xingguo didn't explain, but replied coldly: "Our Liaodong Army can't afford to gamble......"
"Without accurate information, even if we defeat Lao Maozi's attack, we will suffer heavy losses. You know, although the troops in our hands have expanded a lot, and the heavy weapons have also increased a lot. But many of them were new recruits and simply could not withstand the attrition of large-scale and tragic battles. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhongju fell silent.
Yang Xingguo is not wrong at all, the Liaodong Army, which is now in the development period, cannot afford to gamble, and it does not have the strength to gamble.
Without any intelligence and preparation, let these recruits rush to the battlefield, and still face an unknown battle, which is not a battle, it is to die.
However, because of this, he compromised with the Japanese, and Zhou Zhongju was unwilling.
At this time, Yang Xingguo had to explain: "When it's time to compromise, you must compromise...... However, I am afraid that we will compromise, and the Japanese do not have the strength to take the command of our Liaodong Army. “
Speaking of which, Yang Xingguo still has a word to say.
That is, two months later, the Japanese will launch an attack on Lao Maozi.
And this means that Lao Maozi can encircle and suppress himself for just over a month.
For more than a month, Yang Xingguo was confident that no matter how many Japanese came to the Liaodong Army, it would be impossible to get the command of the Liaodong Army.
When the time comes, as soon as Lao Maozi retreats, he will have enough strength and experience to deal with them.
As many things these Japanese take from themselves, they will vomit back as much as they want, and they will vomit back double.
Another is that Yang Xingguo needs information from the Japanese.
With Japanese intelligence, the Liaodong Army can defeat the Russian encirclement and suppression at the minimum cost and include the strength of the Liaodong Army.
And only if the strength of the Liaodong Army is preserved, Yang Xingguo can have enough capital to obtain his own benefits from the war in the upcoming Russo-Japanese War.
Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, Yang Xingguo needs the information provided by the Japanese.
Seeing the firm and complicated expression on Yang Xingguo's face, Zhou Zhongju's solemn face quickly flashed a trace of helplessness.
Facing Yang Xingguo, he said in a low tone: "It seems that the Japanese have caught our weakness this time......
Then, the wind blew and continued: "However, even if we compromise, we can't let Lao Maozi do whatever he wants in my Liaodong Army......"
"Commander, I still have dozens of intelligence officers under my command who have not been divided, do you want to leave these Japanese ......?"
"When these Japanese came, one of them arranged for an intelligence officer. Even if you can't do anything? You can also monitor their every move and be prepared in advance. (To be continued.) )
