Chapter 144: Fanning the Flames

It's late...... I'm sorry to everyone~

At 8 o'clock in the evening of 29 April, Hikosuke Fukuda, commander of the Japanese Dispatch Army stationed in Jinan and commander of the Japanese Sixth Division, and brigade commander Saito Liu visited Jiang Zhongzheng, commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, who was in the former Shandong Governor's Office! What CSI has is capable of is just the support of the people with their lives. Please! Jiang Zhongzheng smiled and was modest, at this time he was puzzled what this Fukuda Hikosuke was doing when he came to his headquarters.

Fukuda Yansuke sat on the sofa with a smile, and the two chatted casually for a few more words before Fukuda Yansuke said to Jiang Zhong: "Since Your Excellency the Commander's Guo Min Revolutionary Army has settled on Jinan, the problem of the safety of our imperial expatriates is naturally safe. So he planned to resign to the commander-in-chief. After all, we are the army of the empire, and it is not good to stay in your country for a long time. ”

Jiang Zhongzheng was stunned for a moment when he heard Fukuda Yansuke's words, and then showed a joy that he couldn't hide! He had been hoping that the Japanese would get out of here for a long time, and secretly scolded Niang Xipi to the Japanese soldiers stranded in Jinan. But the helpless thing is that the Japanese army does not leave, and he really has no way, so he can only watch and protest a few words at most.

Even he understands the thoughts of the Japanese very clearly, isn't he forcing himself to end the Northern Expedition?! They may even want to take this opportunity to make Jinan their concession!

But today he actually heard Fukuda Hikosuke, the top commander of the Japanese army in Jinan, say to him that he was ready to withdraw his troops?! Jiang Zhongzheng wondered for a moment if he had misheard, so he immediately asked, "Oh?!" I didn't expect Commander Fukuda to have such a plan, did the commander's actions have been approved by your country?! ”

Hikosuke Fukuda smiled, this Jiang Zhongzheng is really on guard against the empire! He's testing himself! So Fukuda Hikosuke replied with a smile: "The order of the empire is to let the Sixth Division and the emperors in your concession come to Jinan in the war-torn area to maintain law and order and protect the imperial expatriate. Because he remembered that the commander-in-chief had studied at the Imperial Tokyo Zhenwu School, and had served in the 19th Wing of the Field Artillery of the 13th Division of the Imperial Takata Army. If it weren't for the commander-in-chief's return to the country to struggle, he might also be the elite of the imperial Lu Shi or even Lu Da. Therefore, in order to pay respect, I specially came to resign. ”

Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but smile when he heard Fukuda Yansuke's words. In the spring of 1908, Jiang Zhongzheng was funded by the Qing government, and once again went east to Japan, successfully entered the Tokyo Zhenwu School, and was assigned to the artillery class.

What many people don't know is that Jiang Zhongzheng is actually very good at Japanese! Because during the period of studying in Japan, Zhenwu's school system was three years. The curriculum is divided into two parts: general studies and military science, the former has Japanese, history, geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry, naturalism, drawing and other subjects, and the latter has hand-to-hand instructors, firearms instructors, troop instructors, surveying and tactics, etc.! It was really because the lower officials were worried about the safety of the imperial subjects in Jinan, so they were anxious for a while...... I hope the general will forgive! ”

Seeing that Hikosuke Fukuda's face softened slightly, Koichi Nishida immediately said, "But, General! You and your troops must not leave Jinan City! Maybe you don't know that this morning, a division of the Northern Expeditionary Army, nearly 10,000 people, was defeated by the Lu army's chaotic soldiers in Zhonggong Town! Heavy losses! How can such an army protect my imperial subjects?! Once the Emperor's ** team leaves, and those rebellious troops hurt the subjects of our empire, then we will be ashamed of our trust in the empire! General Wanwang thinks twice!! ”

Jiang Zhongzheng couldn't help but be dizzy when he heard Nishida Koichi's words! What's going on?! One of his own divisions was defeated, why did the Japanese know about it, but he, the commander-in-chief, didn't know about it?! Immediately, he was angered by Nishida Koichi's words, but before he could speak, Hikosuke Fukuda had already taken the lead.

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I didn't expect things to come to this point!" Fukuda Hikosuke looked solemn, looked at Jiang Zhongzheng and said solemnly: "In such a situation, the imperial army really can't leave Jinan. For the sake of the safety of the Empire's expatriate, I will apply to the Empire for additional troops to maintain law and order. Commander-in-Chief Haihan for this! ”

Jiang Zhongzheng heard Fukuda Yansuke say this, and his face changed several times! But at present, he had no way to excuse his army, so he had to nod his head without saying a word.

"After the calm in Jinan, the emperor ** team will withdraw. But before the situation becomes clear, the Empire will send additional troops to protect the safety of the diaspora! Fukuda Yansuke sighed heavily, stood up and bowed to Jiang Zhongzheng and said, "I also hope that the commander-in-chief will calm down the situation as soon as possible and prepare a good practice wine for Fukuda." Fukuda retired. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Zhongzheng to reply, he left the reception room with Saito Liu and Nishida Koichi, and directly boarded the Japanese army's car and drove to the Japanese army headquarters in Jinan. After Fukuda Hikosuke left, Jiang Zhongzheng grabbed the sofa where Fukuda Hikosuke had sit, and his face turned blue and white. After half a ring, he roared violently outside the door: "Get me all the officers above the army level under the First Army!" Niang Xipi!! What kind of bullshit are they doing!! ”

So at the same time, bursts of laughter came from the Japanese army car that left Guo Min's revolutionary army!
