The statement made by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire made the Japanese government very angry, what kind of person is this to put pressure on Zhang Zuolin, it is simply saying that their businessmen are not high, and they often use this method, can they not be angry?

However, the statement of the Chinese Empire had ostensibly put pressure on the Jilin side, and they did not dare to do anything, but they did not give up, and Katsura Taro had no choice but to transfer the Korean army to the Jilin border at the strong request of the constitutionalists.

Regarding Japan's actions, Zhang Zuolin did not say anything, he sent more than half of his troops to the border between Jilin and North Korea, and he was not afraid of 10,000 just in case.

The Japanese move to transfer troops to the Jilin border made the Russians secretly happy, and if Japan also declared war on the Chinese Empire, their pressure would be much less, and it was exactly what they wanted. Originally, Tsarist Russia was not very willing for Japan to send troops to the Northeast, after all, there were also their interests, but now that Tsarist Russia and China are losing in the war, they are already facing very great pressure, and they don't mind giving up some of the interests of the Northeast if they can defeat the Chinese Empire.

The people of the Chinese Empire are also very concerned about the affairs of the Northeast, because the Northeast is too special, the various forces are complicated, and the conflicts of interests are even more chaotic, and the Empire does not actually fully control it.

Britain and France and other Entente countries did not express their own opinions on the actions of the Japanese, in their opinion, if Japan went to war with China, it would have advantages and disadvantages for them, according to the current situation, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, and the successive defeats of Tsarist Russia had made them not optimistic that Tsarist Russia would win the war.

Once Japan and the Chinese Empire go to war, China will be attacked by the two great powers, I don't know if China can hold on, Japan takes the opportunity to expand its interests in China is indispensable, but it has nothing to do with them, their interests in China have basically been cleaned up, and now there are only commercial interests such as the First Five-Year Plan of China.

However, the Japanese family dominance in the Far East is not something they want to see, they are not opposed to weakening the strength of China, but they prefer the balance between China and Japan, so that they do not have to worry much about the colonies in Asia.

The United States is a little worried about the current situation in the Far East, and they are afraid that the Chinese Empire will really be attacked by the two countries, and their desire to use China to balance Japan's development will come to naught.

The tensions in the Northeast, while not as appealing as the Russo-Chinese War, have also attracted a large group of brick-laying beasts, who have expressed their opinions and so-called prophecies, and claimed to be authorities.

Under pressure, Qin Yu gave Zhang Zuolin an order, asking him to release those Japanese businessmen and symbolically collect some compensation such as medical expenses, as for those competing industries to give up some of them, now is not the time to start a war with Japan.

In fact, Qin Yu didn't mean to snatch those industries at all, just to confuse the Japanese and divert the focus of Outer Mongolia, because the next step is to break out of the border, and it is okay to occasionally take advantage of the situation in the Northeast to make a fuss.

"Dashuai, why do you want to let go of those hateful Japanese businessmen, our people have been beaten by them, and the Japanese still dare not go to war, what are we afraid of?"

"Yes, none of these good people are good people, they are all fighting for it through all kinds of unsightly means, and the Northeast is from the Northeast, not from the Japanese."

After learning that Zhang Dashuai had released these Japanese, a cadre of officers and government personnel was dissatisfied and ran to complain to Zhang Zuolin, in fact, this is also a blow to their interests, after all, if they buy a little more industry, they will have more oil and water.

"Okay, I'm in my own hands, are you going to go to war with the Japanese? Use more heads, are the Japanese so easy to deal with? It's not good to really make trouble, the Northeast is no longer ours, and if you want to become a big thing, you have to endure it. Zhang Zuolin also knows their feelings, but they can't be impulsive, what they are most afraid of is brute force, and what is even more terrifying is that brute force may not be able to win.

When everyone saw that Zhang Zuolin had made up his mind, they didn't even complain, they didn't even think about starting a war with the Japanese, and it was simply a fool's dream to rely on them to fight with Japan and win.

Although the Japanese are very reluctant to ask for compensation for medical expenses or something, they don't want to stay in prison, so they can only pay honestly.

The Japanese government has nothing to say when it sees this, after all, this matter is not very glorious, and it is very unfavorable for them to really make a fuss and the world knows about it, and who will dare to let the Japanese go to their own country to carry out business activities in the future.

"Bastard, what are they doing, Xiaoizumi, they can't do such a little thing in the Northeast, and they have to come forward to settle it, it's really hateful!" Katsura Taro's assistant was very dissatisfied with Koizumi and them, and almost went off the rails.

Katsura Taro quietly took a sip of tea and shook his head and said: "The three eastern provinces of China are already very complicated, and now it's good that we are competing with China, and now China has to admit that it has grown to a point that worries me." The war between China and Tsarist Russia can basically be decided, Outer Mongolia is still China after all, Tsarist Russia will lose a lot this time, and the empire must also seize this opportunity to strengthen itself, and soon it will be the era when the empire dominates the Far East, and China will not be able to stop it. ”

"China is not simple, I think that we paid huge sacrifices to win the war with Tsarist Russia, and now China has been fighting to occupy the advantage, forcing Tsarist Russia to lose so much. The Imperial Intelligence Department still has to work hard, and the tanks and warships in China have not made any progress at all, and those people are not willing to sell them to us. ”

"Don't worry, the intelligence personnel on the British and French sides have made good progress, I believe that it won't be long before we will also obtain these technologies, the navy is an important guarantee for the empire's outward expansion after all, but unfortunately I can't control all the navy." Katsura Taro sighed, although he attaches great importance to the army, but he is not unaware of the role of the navy, but it is too difficult for the navy to get involved, and those people in the navy do not deal with him.

I have to say that Katsura Taro is in a very dangerous situation now, because he has lost a lot of public opinion due to his previous series of actions, coupled with the opposition of the constitutionalists and the navy to him, he may be overthrown at any time.

"Is the imperial army ready to be in place, and after the second batch of reinforcements from Tsarist Russia also comes into contact with the Chinese army, it is time for us to attack the Huatai region, we need this war very much!" Now Katsura Taro wanted more and more to divert the contradictions in the country, but he did not dare to start a war too soon, so as not to be attacked by the constitutionalists.

"According to the news from the front, it is basically in place, and there should be no problem with the army's Uehara-kun personally deploying, as long as the prime minister gives an order, he can send troops to occupy these places." The assistant said.

Just as Katsura Taro and the others were discussing, Nicholas II roared and stunned the two handmaidens with a whip, and the bloodied handmaidens were carried down by the guards, and Nicholas II was a little relieved.

When a minister walked in, he happened to see the scene of the guards carrying the maids down, and the cold sweat instantly soared, it seems that he must be cautious when he waits, they thought.

Tsar Nicholas II, who saw a group of ministers coming in, threw several telegrams to the ground and said angrily: "The warriors of the empire have surrendered again and again, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, do they think I will go to redeem them, delusional!" And what happened to the imperial merchants in the three eastern provinces of China? Has the empire failed, they can't wait to sell off the empire's industry, the empire's interests in the three eastern provinces have been greatly damaged, and the war has not yet spread there, what are they anxious about? ”

The group of ministers below did not dare to speak out, because some of the merchants in it were their people or their own industry, and who dared to speak out was not looking for death?

"Uncle Huang's telegram disappointed me very much, the imperial army is about to retreat to the territory of the empire, why have our reinforcements just left? Didn't I order the Empire's airship fleet to be sent to support, why is it not yet on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia? Nikolai continued.

This is the Minister of War Sukhomlinov tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, this ...... Most of the Imperial reinforcements this time were newly recruited soldiers, and there were no large troops in the Balkans and the German border, and it took a lot of time to recruit new soldiers. The airship troops are almost there, but if the logistics department can't keep up, the role of the airship troops is very limited, so I asked the logistics and the airship troops to rush to support first, and the rest of the army will arrive soon. ”

It's not Sukhomlinov's fault, this increase in troops is too close to the last time, military expenses and logistics are very tight, and the soldiers of the empire can't be allowed to deal with it empty-handed or send them to death with backward weapons, in which case he will be torn apart by the families of the soldiers.

After hearing this, Nicholas II instantly roared: "What's the use of the empire raising you, you can't do these things well, and if you can't keep up with the logistics, you won't give priority to it?" If those untouchables who dare to refuse to conscript or something, they will arrest me and send them to the army or exile, and if the empire's military budget is not enough, they will increase the taxes on me, and we must defeat the hateful yellow monkeys. ”

The cold sweat of the ministers below, the back was wet, especially the roaring Sukhomlinov, his legs were a little weak, the Son of Heaven was angry and ambushed millions of corpses is not a joke, at least exile, or at worst go directly to God.

Preske of the Ministry of Finance said softly: "Your Majesty must not increase the tax revenue, it has been increased twice before the war, and if it is increased again, it will cause strong discontent among the people, and this will give the rebels the opportunity to expand." We could borrow money from Britain and France, presumably because they didn't want the empire to fail, so that they could support the empire's military operations in the Far East. ”

"Hmph, the increase in the taxes of these untouchables is only for the victory of the empire, and it will be sold after this time, since it has already been increased, don't increase it again. It's okay to borrow from Britain and France and other countries, there is already an agreement, and they don't dare not borrow, and the interest is as small as possible, and they will get it back from the yellow monkey after the war. Nicholas II said, "Continue to expand the army, strengthen the training of new soldiers, the empire has lost a lot of troops in the Far East, it is time to make up for it, otherwise the empire will fall into passivity if there is a war on this side of Europe." ”

The ministers' hearts finally relaxed when they saw that Nicholas II's anger had subsided, and they watched as Preske secretly gave a thumbs up.
