One day in early May 1931, Li Tie had already received the reaction of Zhang Xueliang and Commander Chiang about the Kwantung Army's attack on the Northeast.

Their indifferent expressions made Li Tie very angry, and even the thousand-tailed scorpion around him was puzzled, not understanding why the two most powerful people in China would be indifferent to their own country and their own people.

Li Tie's explanation to the thousand-tailed scorpion was that these people were all poisoned by the old feudal warlords, and in their eyes, the lives of the people were worthless.

As the saying goes, in order to achieve their personal glory, even if the people of all China die, they will not care.

Although what Li Tie said was exaggerated, the thousand-tailed scorpion really believed it. So the thousand-tailed scorpion shouted loudly to send a telegram to his brother Wang Yaqiao, asking his brother to teach Commander Jiang and Zhang Xueliang a lesson.

And Li Tie thought about it, isn't Wang Yaqiao in the future just fighting with Commander Jiang and Zhang Xueliang for a lifetime, is it because of himself and the thousand-tailed scorpion that he will die for a lifetime in this life? However, with the support of the thousand-tailed scorpion, Li Tie is more confident in the future battle. I saw Li Tie pulling the thousand-tailed scorpion to a basement of the Tianfang Grain Store.

There, Li Tie asked Tie Dan to take out a large rectangular box. The box was full of maps of major cities in the Northeast.

It's just that none of these maps are owned by the Chinese government. These maps were military maps that Li Tie bought from the Japanese at a high price with the help of Nanzao Yunzi.

And these maps have also been supplemented by Li Tie's special personnel, the content is more detailed, and the area is also larger.

Li Tie pulled out a full map of the surrounding areas of Liaoning and said to the thousand-tailed scorpion. As soon as the war began. These strategic points must be in the hands of our own people, and all our follow-up actions must be carried out around these places.

Then Li Tie issued an order to Tiedan, ordering the Lingshui base in Hainan and all the scientists to cancel their holidays and start pre-war preparations. All German officers and all staff members entered the first level of combat readiness.

Eight submarines were ordered to immediately enter the pre-war exercise stage, and four British ** ships at the base were ordered to enter the pre-war exercise stage.

The Golden Tiger Rangers, the 1st Brigade, the 2nd Brigade, and the 3rd Brigade were ordered to enter the stage of actual combat drills, and all the students of the Lingshui Aviation School were ordered to start learning to fly various types of aircraft at an accelerated pace.

The Shanghai Huaxing Escort Force was ordered to dispatch 500 guards to the Lingshui base and begin to take over the security work of the Einsatzgruppen.

In short, this time involved the military training of the whole Huaxing company, the supply management was enough, the ammunition management was enough, and all Huaxing employees and Huaxing militia also began to take turns to train for three months. At the same time, Li Tie secretly told Huaxing Shipping that he secretly dispatched two 10,000-ton giant ships to carry out some necessary modifications, which would be of great use to him in a few months.

Huaxing Company's huge military actions naturally failed to hide from the well-intentioned people of various forces, just because Huaxing Company has been established since its establishment.

All Huaxing employees have the habit of military training for one month every year, so although the scale of this military training is larger, and the training time is more than half a month earlier than before, no one really reports this change to their respective forces as important information, just a simple brushstroke.

But the people around Li Tie who are familiar with him, including the Axe Gang, and several bigwigs in Hongmen all know in their hearts that Li Tie seems to be sharpening his knife and waiting to kill the enemy.

At this time, at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army in Lushun, there was one post at three steps and one post at five steps, and the entire Kwantung Army headquarters was heavily guarded, especially near the conference hall of the headquarters, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

At this time, the conference hall was star-studded, and almost all the high-ranking generals of the Kwantung Army above the wing commander were present. Also present at the same time were Major General Dohihara, Ishihara Er Nakasa, Kawamoto Daisa, and other important staff generals.

Seeing that everyone was almost here, Lieutenant General Duomen Eryan, commander of the Commander-in-Chief Division of the Northeast Kwantung Army, signaled that the meeting could begin, and saw that everyone remained silent, waiting for themselves to speak. Duomen Jiro was also not polite, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am sure that everyone is aware of the importance and confidentiality of this meeting, so there will be no records of this meeting.

Unless we convene another meeting with the same content, we will not admit the existence of this meeting from now on. After speaking, Lieutenant General Duomen Jiro also stood up and bowed deeply to the generals present.

And more than a dozen generals sitting at the conference table also stood up and saluted one after another. Duomen Jiro took the lead in sitting down, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.

"I think everyone knows that the domestic economy is now facing a serious crisis, and internationally, in order to suppress the rise of our Japanese, the Western powers are encircling and suppressing our living space everywhere.

Now the only way out for Japan is to occupy China in an all-round way in order to gain enough living space, and in order to occupy China, we must first occupy the northeast.

Therefore, the Kwantung Army in the northeast of us should become the protagonist of this operation. As soon as Duomen Eryan's words fell, different voices sounded around him.

"However, Your Excellency, as far as I know, the Prime Ministers of the Headquarters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Cabinet have not yet agreed on how to proceed.

If we act rashly, we may not get domestic support, and we may well find ourselves in a dilemma. The 3rd Infantry Brigade, Brigade Commander Major General Teru Hasebe said.

"What Major General Hasebe said is also true, but time is running out, and now that the domestic economic crisis is intensifying, we urgently need to pass on the domestic contradictions.

And attacking the Northeast is the best way. We can't wait for domestic politicians to discuss a plan before we do it, because there is an old Chinese saying that "Xiuchang rebels for three years." ”

If all of you here are counting on the consensus of the politicians in the country to act on the same page, then I can tell you with certainty that even after you retire, you still have not fought. Tamonjiro's words drew a burst of laughter from the generals present.

"But even if we act on our own and defeat the hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army in Northeast China, how can we defend against the counterattack from the Chinese government?

At that time, if the Chinese government asked for international mediation again, and the domestic politicians were half-hearted and did not give us reinforcements, then we would have to die in a foreign land. Major General Teru Hasebe asked again.

"That's why I've called you here today, and now I'm going to give you a briefing on our current situation and what we're going to do in the coming months." After speaking, Jiro Duomen pointed his finger to a white and chubby middle-aged man beside him.

Ishihara first bowed to everyone in the room, and then began his speech:

"Our plan is that during these months, all units of the Kwantung Army will strengthen training, especially in the vicinity of the Northeast Army to conduct various military exercises such as reconnaissance, ambushes, blasting, including possible street fighting.

The Northeast Army should be notified before the exercise, and occasionally a few minutes later during the exercise. Let the Northeast Army have careless thoughts.

Second, although our Kwantung Army in Northeast China has only more than 10,000 troops in one brigade of the regular army, there are still more than 10,000 armed expatriates in the vicinity of Shenyang.

In addition, we can temporarily mobilize some Japanese expatriates to participate in the fighting, and our total strength will not be less than 30,000. As long as we are united in our hearts and minds to fight this rabble in the northeast, we have absolute control, defeat the enemy in Shenyang first, and then defeat the other enemies in the northeast after occupying Shenyang. ”

"But what if the Northeast Army is reinforced. Do we have reinforcements? In case we don't get domestic supplies, even if we are given to occupy Shenyang, we won't be able to hold it. A co-captain asked.

"Rest assured, the Northeast Army will not resist with all its might. Our agents lurking around Zhang Xueliang reported that Zhang Xueliang has now been completely controlled by our new drugs and has completely lost his fighting spirit.

He has privately revealed to his generals on more than a dozen occasions that once there is a large-scale conflict with our Japanese army, no matter how we provoke rebellion, the Northeast Army should not fight back, so as not to make the military conflict bigger.

It doesn't matter if he hands over the territory to us for the time being, because then he will first obtain international support, and then take the Nationalist Government's millions of troops to attack the northeast together. Cast us out into the sea. ”

"Haha, why is there such a naïve commander in this world?" The generals laughed.

"So it's rare that Amaterasu has arranged a pig-like opponent for us, and we must not waste this God-given opportunity." Ishihara raised his arms and shouted.

But what he said also has some truth, if the international community really supports China, then our domestic politicians will definitely be forced to give in, and then we will become the sinners of the empire. They will not receive supplies from within the country. Another wing commander asked.

"First of all, the international community will not support China. Because the current European countries are also hit hard by the economic crisis, they have nothing to do with China.

And we have already had several friendly contacts with Germany. We are also actively helping Germany to get rid of the control of Britain and France, and I believe that with Germany making trouble for Britain and France and other countries in Europe, Britain and France and other countries will not be able to spare energy to help the Chinese speak.

As for the Chinese National Government, there is no need to worry. This is the second time that the Nationalist Government has encircled and suppressed the Red Bandits, and it is said that the situation is very unfavorable, and I am not optimistic about the Nationalist Government's encirclement and suppression.

As for the fact that when we attack the Northeast in a few months, we can completely claim that the purpose of occupying the Northeast is to help the restoration of Manchuria, and at the same time to put forward the banner of eliminating the Red Bandits.

In this way, for the sake of the safety of its own borders, the Soviet Union will definitely take the initiative to negotiate peace with us and ask us not to touch their interests when we occupy the northeast.

In addition, we will also incite the Red Bandits to take the initiative to attack the territory of the Nationalist Government. In this way, as soon as the Red Bandits went to war with the Nationalist Government, they would naturally draw out a lot of the strength of the Nationalist Army. Naturally, there is no time to manage the Northeast.

As long as Zhang Xueliang goes out of the Northeast, he will lose the Northeast without firing a shot, and he will lose people's hearts. Without the support of the National Army, he will become a lost dog, and then our occupation of the Northeast will become a fact. ”

"But we only have more than 20,000 people, even if we defeat the Northeast Army of more than 100,000. Where do we get reinforcements? We will continue to carry out the plan to occupy the whole of the Northeast. ”

"Yes, the Shenyang Military Factory now has dozens of tanks, hundreds of planes, and more than 100,000 machine guns and rifles, and with these guns and ammunition, even if we don't send supplies to China in the short term, we can still gain a firm foothold in the Northeast as long as we mobilize 200,000 Japanese expatriates.

Moreover, we still have strong reinforcements in the country, that is, Seishiro Itagaki and Hideki Tojo, as long as we fire the first shot in the northeast, the Tokyo base camp will first send at least one or two divisions to reinforce us.

With the addition of these tens of thousands of troops, our strength in the northeast can reach 60,000 in a short period of time, and with our 60,000 elite soldiers, it will not be a problem to sweep the entire northeast.

As long as we, the 60,000 people, are invincible in the northeast, those politicians in China will naturally change the direction of the wind and begin to vigorously support us. We will become the heroes of the nation.

The only thing we have to worry about is that in order to avoid obstruction by international public opinion, we must find a way to support a Chinese as the master of this new land, and as long as we occupy the northeast for more than ten years with facts, the northeast will be completely ours Japanese. Since then, it has been included in the territory of our Japanese people.

And most fortunately, we already have this candidate. He was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi. ”
