Chapter 88: Coercion and Temptation
"Ishihara Waner, I have heard the name of the brigade for a long time, and when I see it today, my demeanor is really extraordinary." Ishihara Waner and Okamura Qiu saluted Yu Zhishan and said with a smile, "A figure like the brigade commander resids in more than 20 small counties in the Northeast Province, which is really too compromised by the brigade commander's talent. ”
"Mr. Ishihara has won the award, and he is only famous, so he can't take it seriously." Yu Zhishan felt comfortable when he heard this, and his face was still forced to smile modestly. "The relationship between you and me is extremely tense right now, I wonder why Mr. Ishihara came here this time?"
"It is precisely for this reason that Brigade Commander Yu has had close contacts with our empire in the past few years, and the empire has always regarded the brigade commander as its closest partner. At present, Jiang Quan, the commander of the first regiment of your brigade, has announced that he will serve our great Japanese empire, and my 39th mixed brigade has arrived in Dandong and Fengcheng one after another. Later, the 38 mixed brigades will also arrive one after another, and the imperial order in the homeland has also been issued, and the entire Fengtian will tremble at the feet of our imperial army, and the brigade commander Yu has been under Zhang Xueliang for a long time, and Zhang Xueliang has also entered the customs at this time, why didn't the brigade commander find his own way out earlier? ”
Before the outbreak of the 918 Incident, Okamura Qiu had a close relationship with Yu Zhishan, and he knew Yu Zhishan's resentment against Zhang Xueliang.
"This, I am a soldier of Fengtian, although I have a close personal relationship with your country, how can I make a move to join your army at this time? Besides, the situation is still unclear, so I have to think about it. Yu Zhishan's eyes rolled, Ni Mei's, even if you want to take him in, you have to get some substantial benefits, right?
"The reason why the Kwantung Army did not progress well in the Fengtian War was because of the lack of anticipation of the counterattack of the Fengtian defenders, and it was inevitable that there would be imperfections in the haste of attacking, but your country Nanjing and Zhang Shaoshuai had no intention of fighting with the empire, relying on the defenders of Fengtian City alone, did Brigade Commander Yu think they would be the opponents of the imperial army?"
Ishihara asked rhetorically with a pleasant face, he and Itagaki Seishiro were the core planners of the whole incident, and now the main force of the Kwantung Army was taken out by Jiang Li for seven inches, and it was not possible to advance or retreat in the Sujiatun area, and it was extremely difficult to defend. Ishihara Waner did not expect that the current situation would develop now, in order to prevent the whole plan from failing, Ishihara Waner specially rushed to Yuzhishan with light equipment, wanting to win over this armed force, open the way for the Korean reinforcements, and at the same time ease the pressure on the rear, help transportation, and fight against the anti-Japanese armed forces that began to surge among the people in Fengtian, which is very good.
Since the news came from Anshan that the steel plant, power plant, coking plant and other machinery had been dismantled, and all those that could not be dismantled were destroyed, Ishihara had an ominous premonition in his heart. Jiang Li is not a person who plays cards according to common sense like other Chinese officers, Jiang Li will not follow the rules. The foundation of the Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd., which has been rooted in the Northeast for many years, is likely to be greatly damaged or devastated by this accident.
Coupled with the losses of the Kwantung Army, Ishihara could only try to make the process of occupying the Northeast look smoother at this time and reduce the losses of the Empire. Therefore, it is necessary to spare no effort to win over Zhishan Ishihara.
"If Brigade Commander Yu is willing to join the Empire, the future Governor of Fengtian will be in Brigade Commander Yu's pocket."
"I still need to think about this for a little more time." Yu Zhishan was quite moved, the governor of Fengtian Province, compared to him, the power of the Eastern Provincial Envoy is much greater, for Zhang Xueliang to work or to work for Japan, Yu Zhishan does not have any intuitive concept in his heart, who can get more benefits from whom, it is naturally to whom, not to mention that at this time, the Japanese army is pressing, Zhang Xueliang fled to the Guannei, and he can't take care of him at this time.
"Brigade Commander Yu should make a decision quickly, the empire has already suffered a loss in Mukden, and he will never make the same mistake again, if when the imperial army arrives, Brigade Commander Yu still decides, the empire will never expose its back road to an opponent who does not know whether he is or foe, and then it will be a burning jade, Brigade Commander Yu must understand."
Good words said Since Yu Zhishan is still planning to play Tai Chi, Ishihara Wan'er threatened a little, looking at Yu Zhishan's white face, Ishihara Wan'er sighed in his heart, it seems that this Yu Zhishan is most likely the kind that has no backbone, carrots and sticks, sooner or later will give in, if Fengtian's Huang Xiansheng and Jiang Li are also this kind of goods, there will not be so much trouble in entering Fengtian this time.
"I understand and will definitely reply to your country as soon as possible." Yu Zhishan said.
"Then don't bother the brigade commander." Ishihara nodded and left with Akira Okamura.
Yu Zhishan's face was uncertain, and frankly speaking, he did not want to defect to Japan too early, after all, the situation in the Northeast has not yet been completely settled. For a wall-riding faction like him, if the wind direction is not right, the consequences will be devastating, but the threat of Ishihara Wan'er is still in his ears, damn it, if he doesn't belong to it, he will be destroyed, he doesn't have Jiang Li's courage to fight with the Japanese army, and besides, his subordinates are now three or four thousand people, pulled to the pass, a dog who has lost his nest and lost his home, I'm afraid the army won't last long.
Yu Zhishan touched his brain, his face was ruthless, just fight, the Japanese army is strong, his eastern road is under the nose of the Japanese army, Zhang Xueliang's rabbit cub doesn't look like a male master, he can keep the family business under the invasion of the Japanese army, and the old ghost of the Zhang family may not be able to laugh under Jiuquan. As for Nanjing, Yu Zhishan wrote coldly, just saying that it is useless to practice the top fart. The turf is played out. Thinking of the temptation of the Governor of Fengtian and the army to expand to two brigades, Yu Zhishan smiled, if he worked with Zhang Xueliang, it is estimated that he can only wait until the next life if he wants to survive to this extent.
In the operational command room, Jiang Li looked at the combat map in front of him, and the main force of the Kwantung Army had the fiercest resistance in Sujiatun. His eyes flashed uncertainly, it was simple to deal with these Japanese soldiers, there was a batch of poison gas bombs lying in the Mukden Arsenal, several rounds of artillery were fired, and all the Japanese troops on the position had to lie down.
However, after thinking about it, Jiang Lisi still gave up this tempting idea. Poison gas bombs are internationally prohibited bombs. The Japanese used it because no one in the Far East could do anything to him. But Jiang Li can't do it, and then he still wants to get a lot of money and machinery in the United States, once he spoils his reputation, and his strength is not enough, he is likely to be banned by the United States, the League of Nations This thing is useless for the powers, but for the weak, there is still some lethality, especially under the protest of Japan, this top-down sanction is likely to bring many difficulties to Jiang Li's future actions in northern Shaanxi.
After a while, after the Japanese army uses poison gas bombs on the battlefield, they will understand that this kind of thing is a double-edged sword for both the enemy and us.
