"Waha" roared like a ghost crying wolf, and the wild laughter sounded in the Provisional Presidential Palace in Nanjing.

Li Bufan and Wu Enemy's army division hugged each other in ecstasy and celebrated, if the two naval battles crippled the Yueben Navy, then the planned plan to use the great earthquake to destroy the war potential of the Yueben was tantamount to completely destroying the fighting spirit of the Yueben and breaking the backbone of the Yueben.

Chief of Staff Li Huashan said with a smile: "President, under such a heavy blow, everyone will lose the courage and determination to fight. I think that we should now take the opportunity to send troops and form a First Front Army to attack the Korean Peninsula from the northeast; The Second Front, with the cooperation of the navy, quickly attacked the Ryukyu Islands, regained lost territory, and compressed the strategic space of the Ryukyu Islands. ”

Wu's enemy army immediately jumped up and said, "Yes, take advantage of his illness to kill him." ”

Li Bufan frowned and said: "But the Northeast Feng side is still neutral, unless we force it through or a civil war, we can only cross the sea and land in Korea." ”

Wu Di said with a smile: "We crossed the sea and attacked Taiwan, Xiao Yue must have taken precautions, and it is not easy to play this trick again, and the landing battle is not safe." As for Zhang Zuolin in the northeast, it is time to force him to express his position, if they are obsessed, then resolutely defeat them and completely complete the reunification of the country. ”

Li Bufan smiled and said, "That's right." Now is not the time for a woman's kindness, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must not be missed. After a pause, he said to Yang Yongtai, "Changqing, you go and arrange it, and ask Xu Shichang's seniors to go to the Northeast." Tell Zhang Zuolin that he only has three days to think about it, and if he doesn't agree, he will call me, and all the generals of the Northeast Army will be regarded as Han Annihilation, and all of them will be destroyed by their homes, and they will die if they don't obey! ”

Yang Yongtai's heart trembled, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, president." ”

Wu Di nodded and said: "Xu Shichang is Zhang Zuolin's old boss, if Zhang Zuolin can't repent in time, then don't blame us for being ruthless." After the Republic of China, the reason why there was repeated turmoil was because the punishment for those warlords was too light, and one went into the wilderness to do things, and a random soldier swept a lot of wealth, not even a punishment, and the world was safe and quiet. We just want to let those warlords know that if they dare to make trouble, they must be mentally prepared to pay the price, so that they have their lives to rob money and not to spend their lives. In troubled times, there are heavy classics, and there are clear precepts in ancient times, which is just like this. ”

Li Bufan sighed and said: "No way, it's not that I don't give Zhang Zuolin time, it's that the powers don't give me time, if something like this happens, in order to keep the capital, the powers will inevitably come forward to mediate and try their best to protect the capital, so as to avoid a situation in the Far East where our country is dominant." We have no way to influence such an outcome at present, but we can weaken the country as much as possible, and as long as the Korean Peninsula is in hand, then our planes can bomb the entire territory of the country at any time and suppress the city. ”

Yang Yongtai's heart was shaken, and he also understood why the central government attached so much importance to the northeast and must quickly obtain the northeast. This has a bearing on China's hegemony in East Asia and the strategic security of Northeast Asia. So he said: "President, the stakes are very high, so let me go to Yanjing?" ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send an H-1 bomber to send you, this matter can't be delayed." ”

Yang Yongtai flew to Yanjing on an H-1 Thunderbird bomber on the same day, landed at Nanyuan Airport in the evening, and went directly to meet Xu Shichang, who had already made an appointment.

"For such a big thing, the president will give three days? That's too little, right? Xu Shichang was almost choked, this cutting method is not this kind of cutting method.

Yang Yongtai smiled bitterly: "Ju Gong." It's a plan that can't keep up with the change. Originally, the great president's intention was to defeat Yuben, recapture Taiwan, and completely drive the forces of the younger Yueben out of the country, but after destroying the Yueben navy according to the development of the war situation, Yuben was helpless, and in the end he was able to completely achieve this strategic goal. However, now it is different, the earthquake in the area of Tokyo has caused heavy losses to the strategic reserves and assembled troops in Tokyo, and the industrial center of Tokyo has been basically destroyed. The president wants to take advantage of the situation to recover Korea and the Ryukyus, regain China's fortune in East Asia in one fell swoop, and completely suppress the Japanese and dominate East Asia. ”

Xu Shichang sighed: "I think the great powers have now arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Central Committee in Nanjing, right?" It is impossible for them to get the president to complete the strategic plan, otherwise the president will definitely take the opportunity to propose the abolition of the unequal treaty with such momentum. I heard that Tang Shaoyi is now playing Tai Chi with representatives of the great powers. ”

Yang Yongtai said lightly: "Ju Gong is discerning, which is admirable. However, this meal has to be eaten bite by bite, and anyone who prevents or hinders the implementation of the president's strategy will become a sinner for the ages. The president said that in troubled times, the code is re-enacted. This Zhang Zuolin is a cadre promoted by Ju Gong, and the so-called dog beating also depends on the owner, so it is natural to inform Ju Gong. The opportunity for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is right in front of us, and everything depends on Ju Gong. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－

Xu Shichang once served as the governor of Northeast China, and Zhang Zuolin can be said to be highly promoted by him, otherwise it is still a question whether he can stand out.

Xu Shichang came to the Northeast, Zhang Zuolin did not dare to slack off, greeted him with the highest standard, and in front of everyone, he said all the words.

Zhang Zuolin knew that Xu Shichang could not come to the Northeast for no reason, and besides, he was almost seventy years old, and after receiving him into the Marshal's Mansion, he said earnestly: "Is the boss here because of the situation?" In fact, he also guessed a little bit of its purpose, and it was estimated that he was a lobbyist for Nanjing.

Xu Shichang sighed and said: "Yuting, the old man is already half of the people who have been cut into the ground, and his fame and fortune have long been downplayed. To tell you the truth, the old man came to Nanjing as a lobbyist this time, Yang Yongtai flew to Yanjing to meet the old man, the old man was afraid that you would be smart and confused for a while, so he personally came to lobby and finally save you. ”

The smile on Zhang Zuolin's face stiffened, and he reluctantly showed a smile and said, "The old man is serious, right?" ”

Xu Shichang smiled bitterly: "I knew you had this attitude. Li Bufan is not a trivial person, as soon as he debuted, he attached great importance to military and political power, and in order to prevent the emergence of warlords, all troops were completely dispersed and reorganized; In order to control the local financial power and administration, gradually and comprehensively retrain officials to take over the local government; Any rebellion has only two words, suppression. is completely and completely centralized, and if you want to be a warlord and an emperor, there is only a dead end. The old man knows that you are a talent, and he doesn't want you to go down this dead end. ”

Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly: "Boss, Yuting definitely doesn't have this mind. Li Bufan's style can be seen by everyone, and I want to be a warlord with this strength in the Northeast, but I am just a mantis arm as a car, and I can't measure myself. How could I, Zhang Yuting, do such a stupid thing? ”

Xu Shichang groaned and said, "Then you say, what do you mean now?" What's the plan? ”

Zhang Zuolin smiled bitterly: "I don't want the Northeast to become a battlefield. Back then, it was said that the Russian War, the northeast was thousands of miles away. I remain neutral, saying that I will not attack me at this time, and it is estimated that the Nanjing side will not force me too much, which is equivalent to maintaining the peace of the northeast. After the war, I immediately changed my flag. Boss, you have been the governor of the Northeast, don't you know the situation in the Northeast? It's too complicated. ”

Xu Shichang nodded and said: "I understand what you say, but Li Bufan doesn't understand, and the Nanjing Central Committee can't understand it." After a pause, he said, "Do you know what Nanjing thinks?" Any idea what they're going to do? ”

Zhang Zuolin's heart was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly said: "Please let the old man know." ”

Xu Shichang said solemnly: "Originally, according to the normal plan of Nanjing, they acquiesced in your doing. But now the situation has changed, and the battle has been completely lost due to a major earthquake in Tokyo, which has been devastated. For this reason, the central government in Nanjing was determined to drive himself into the sea in one fell swoop, recover the Korean Peninsula, and how to ensure the supply of hundreds of thousands of troops entering the DPRK to fight without the northeast. Li Bufan personally asked Yang Yongtai to tell him that a decision must be made in the Northeast within three days, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion against the collusion of the Kou. ”

Zhang Zuolin's heart was angry, his whole face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "He deceives people too much." ”

Xu Shichang looked at the angry Zhang Zuolin and sighed: "Li Bufan's number one general, Li Songshan, has led the elite to advance towards Shanhaiguan, Nanjing means that of course it is best for you to let it, and you have to let it if you don't let it." This is China's only chance to defeat and suppress it, and it must not be lost. If someone sabotages the plan, not only will they not give up, but they will kill them all. Yang Yongtai personally told me that their Wu enemy's army division said that in troubled times, heavy canons are used. ”

Zhang Zuolin's heart was shocked, but he said unwillingly: "Boss, once the war unfolds in the Northeast, the Northeast will become a ruin." ”

Xu Shichang sneered: "As long as you cooperate, how can it become a ruin?" How many people are there in the Northeast? But you have more than 200,000 Feng troops and Li Bufan still has an army of one million, can't you go to Korea in one go and set the battlefield in North Korea? If the plan is implemented and cannot be completed, then someone will naturally bear the consequences; But if you block it and the plan fails, you are a sinner in this country for the ages, and everyone in the family will have to bury you. ”

Zhang Zuolin's heart was shocked, like being struck by lightning, and the blood on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye. After a long time, he began to pace back and forth to think, and after more than ten minutes, he said fiercely: "There is no problem with Northeast Yiqi, but I have one condition. ”

Xu Shichang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I think, as long as the request is not too strong, Nanjing will not refuse." ”

Zhang Zuolin said: "I believe that Nanjing will not oppose this request. ”

Two days later, Zhang Zuolin concentrated tens of thousands of elite troops to suddenly raid the border of the Yalu River between China and North Korea, and captured the Yalu River railway bridge and the stronghold on the opposite bank of Yizhou in one fell swoop, defeated a wing of the Yue army, and at the same time electrified the Northeast to change banners.

Immediately, the main force of the Northeast Army went south to attack the Liaodong Peninsula, and the other attacked Korea on a large scale, advancing all the way and launching a fierce collision with the counteroffensive of the troops stationed in Korea
