Pedal Pedal Ped The sound of leather boots on the floor was rapid.

"Your Excellency Commander, Staff Officer of the Operational Staff of the Kwantung Army, Ishihara Waner. Seishiro Itagaki and Mitsuji, chief of staff, request to meet the commander! In addition, there was a telegram sent by the head of the Tufeiyuan organ, saying that the Northeast Army of China had blown up the wicker lake section of the South Manchurian Railway and attacked the base of our army in Mukden, and was currently engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with our army. However, the Northeast Army of all walks of life is dispatching troops and sending generals, and his Excellency the commander is requested to send troops as soon as possible to support the fighting troops and horses of all departments. ”

The soldier said aloud, with a look of fanaticism on his face, and looking at his expression, he was eager to put on his wings and immediately fly to the place of battle to participate in this great war.

"It seems that the Wicker Lake Incident has been launched as originally planned, and the base camp has not agreed to this plan recently, and specially sent Jianchuan Miji over to end this plan and prevent the officers below from acting privately, but I didn't expect them to launch the incident in advance and bring them over!"

As early as the Sino-Japanese War, Japan had the heart of swallowing the Northeast, and the Treaty of Shimonoseki also mentioned the cession of the Liaodong Peninsula, if it were not for the intervention of Britain, the United States, Russia and other countries, and made a hindrance from it, even if it could not be fulfilled, half of the Liaodong Peninsula was also called stable. Later, in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army lost tens of thousands of casualties, paid the price of more than 100,000 wounds, and won the initiative in the Far East. In the past few decades, seeing that the northeast has become more and more fat, the Japanese top brass has long had the ambition to get involved in the northeast territory, but they are afraid of the interference of Britain and the United States and other countries, and there are still hundreds of thousands of northeast troops. If it were the previous Zhang Zuolin, Ben Fanzhuang would never agree to this reckless action.

As the guy from Ishihara Waner said, Zhang Xueliang, this kid smokes a lot and is lustful. Compared to his Lao Tzu, he is a few ranks worse. It is far from being able to crumple the Northeast into a ball, and Zhang Xueliang's arrogance was broken in the First World War on the Middle Road, and a gentleman now has no arrogance left, what is the use of such a person, how to resist the Japanese Empire just like the rising sun?

"I've seen Your Excellency the Commander!" Seishiro Itagaki, Kenji Tohihara, and Miyake Koji entered one after another and saluted to Honfanso.

"Well, I already understand your intentions, how sure are you about taking the Northeast?" Now is not the time to be polite, Ben Fanzhuang is also a resolute person, and with every second of delay, events may change.

"Seventy percent sure, Your Excellency Commander, Zhang Xueliang is a spineless warlord, and he has no guts to fight against the Empire. There was also the chairman of the Nanjing Committee, according to the reliable information obtained by the empire, both the Nanjing side and Zhang Xueliang had issued an order to the troops stationed in Fengtian not to resist at this time. Shiguan Guanger smiled slightly.

"Up to now, the 29th Wing has attacked Fengtian City, and when our army attacked the Beida Battalion, it did not encounter any resistance. The Northeast Army did not have the courage to resist the Empire, Your Excellency Commander, the base camp was too far away from Shina and was not familiar with the situation here, so he sent General Kenkawa Miji to end the operation. But there is no shortage of people in the base camp to expand the territory of the empire, our army has captured the provincial capital of Fengtian, as long as you add a little more force, the northeast of China is at your fingertips! ”

When the Second Independent Garrison Brigade began to attack Beidaying, it was cautious and found that the Northeast Army did not resist, so it believed that the orders issued by the Nanjing government and Zhang Xueliang were true, and these Northeast Army also carried out it seriously, and the Japanese army immediately sent people back to report the good news.

And Ishihara Waner and Itagaki Seishiro were on their way to Lushun, carrying out the most crucial part of the whole plan, dragging Ben Fanzhuang, the commander of the Kwantung Army, into this plan. Ben Fanzhuang held the power to mobilize the entire empire's garrisons in the northeast. No matter how much Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro agitated, they would never be able to mobilize the entire Kwantung Army.

Only by obtaining the support of Ben Fanzhuang can we mobilize all the forces of the empire in the northeast, and then influence the base camp, and promote the high-level leaders of the base camp to follow the path they designed. At least the current prime minister and the army minister will all have to be replaced, so as to counteract the strong pressure of domestic public opinion and military circles.

Ishihara-kun was right when he said that the entire energy of the Nanjing government at this time was focused on suppressing the Communist Party and the newly established Nationalist Government of Guangzhou. He did not have the energy to take into account what was happening in the Northeast, and Zhang Xueliang was a cowardly warlord, the Nanjing government and he both issued orders not to resist, and the inaction of the upper echelons made the Northeast Army now the first to disobey the military order, even if a small part dared to disobey the military order, as long as His Excellency the Commander agreed, he quickly sent troops to give troops, and formed a substantial occupation of Mukden, Jilin, Heilongjiang and other large cities. By the time the Nanjing government and the League of Nations, on which Zhang Xueliang had high hopes, completed the investigation, the northeast of China was already in the pockets of the empire. Seishiro Itagaki added an analysis.

"Your Excellency Commander, there is an old saying in the people of China, it is called if you don't take it, but you will be blamed for it, so the best time to make contributions and expand the territory of the empire, if you miss it, it will be too late to regret it later." Ishihara said in an extremely demagogic voice.

"Your Excellency Commander, report in advance!" Soldiers knocked on the doorway outside.

"Come in, what's new in the situation over there in Mukden?" Sanguang Zhaiji couldn't wait to stand up at this time, picked up the telegram and glanced at it, his face was both surprised and happy.

"Your Excellency Commander, Ishihara-kun, Itagaki-kun, there is good news and bad news. The independent 2nd Garrison Brigade attacking Beidaying had lost contact, while the 29th Wing had broken through the city of Fengtian and had now occupied the Fengtian Bank of China, the head office of the Northeast Bank, and was now attacking Zhang Xueliang's Marshal's Mansion. Bank of China alone, and Northeast Bank, there are more than 40 million taels of cash in it. A steward at Zhang Xueliang's mansion, where Gu escaped, said that there were at least dozens of tons of gold bars in Zhang Xueliang's marshal's mansion. ”

Hearing such a huge amount of gold and silver, everyone present changed their faces greatly, such a large sum of money is enough for the empire to expand several divisions, and the current situation in the northeast, Ishihara Waner and others can completely control the situation in the northeast with two divisions at most.

"The 2nd Independent Garrison Brigade has lost contact? It seems that most of the time something happened to you, Ishihara-kun, Itagaki-kun, it seems that things are not going as smoothly as you described. Honfanzhuang glanced at Ishihara and Itagaki Seishiro meaningfully.
