"If Your Excellency the Young Marshal must do this, then the consequences will be borne by Your Excellency the Young Marshal. However, I advise you to think carefully that the Japanese Empire is not something to be bullied casually! Kodama Gentaro's face was gloomy.
As a high-ranking member of the Japanese Army, he didn't believe that he couldn't even hold down a hairy boy. Especially after the Russo-Japanese War, Japan was an emerging power. If we compromise on this issue, I am afraid that Japan's reputation will be greatly damaged. Gentaro Kodama definitely didn't want that to happen.
It's a pity that Wu Haoxuan has always been a person who eats soft and not hard. The more Gentaro Kodama persecuted him, the more tough he will be.
At this time, the sound of neat footsteps came. Later, I saw the instructor's soldiers rushing into the train station in full armor and surrounding the Japanese soldiers from the outside. A strong heavy machine gun, light machine gun and even mortar, all aimed at these Japanese soldiers. The muzzles of the black holes in the hands of the soldiers were even aimed at the target.
Wu Haoxuan only asked Shi Tianchuan to bring in two companies, but as a result, Shi Tianchuan took it upon himself to bring in four companies. This made the balance of strength between the two sides in the railway station immediately changed dramatically. However, this situation is exactly what Wu Haoxuan wants to see.
Kodama Gentaro's face was already gloomy at the moment, as if he could drip water, and Wu Haoxuan's toughness completely exceeded his expectations. In the entire Far East, did anyone dare to challenge the prestige of the Great Japanese Empire? It was something he had never thought of. Moreover, the weapons used by these Chinese* armies are obviously more advanced than those of the Japanese army! This made him even more incredible.
The Japanese Army's current standard weapon is only the Golden Hook Rifle, and the heavy machine gun is only equipped with four French-made Haqikis machine guns at the squadron level. However, these Chinese* armies are equipped with more machine guns, or new mortars. During the Russo-Japanese War, he had seen this kind of artillery. However, this kind of artillery equipped by the Chinese seems to be more advanced and powerful than the mortars of the Russians.
"Young Marshal, I brought in all four companies of the reconnaissance battalion. The defense outside the railway station was taken over by the battalion of the defense arsenal. In addition, the three regiments under the instructor are also ready for battle, as long as these little devils dare to mess around, we can destroy them at any time! Shi Tianchuan was obviously frightened by the arrogant remarks of Little Japan before.
Wu Haoxuan nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Naturally, if you are prepared, then you don't have to be afraid of these little Japan.
"Your Excellency Gentaro Kodama, I don't want to conflict with you. But no one can take away what belongs to us. Someone came and ordered the workers to take all the steel away. Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed! Wu Haoxuan ordered loudly.
"Yes, young marshal!" Huzi immediately beckoned the workers to come in and transport the steel. As early as the time Jason, the manager of the arsenal, arrived, the workers were already in place. Thousands of tons of steel had to be transported, and the arsenal sent dozens of wagons. Even so, it took more than a dozen trips.
"Yaga!" Onodera Jiro was furious, at this time, Wu Haoxuan actually showed such toughness, which was beyond his expectations.
A trace of anger flashed in Kodama Gentaro's eyes, Wu Haoxuan didn't take him in his eyes at all!
The workers of the arsenal came in and began to carry the steel. They carried the steel to the wagons and then transported it away. The Japanese soldiers, at this time, wanted to stop the movement of the workers. However, it was stopped by the officers and soldiers who taught the instructor, and the shape shì was once intensified to the point of imminent eruption.
Gentaro Kodama was so angry that he almost wanted to order the soldiers to open fire and shoot this daring fellow. However, he did not dare to do so. If he had given the order to open fire, then it is estimated that all of these Japanese, including him, would have been killed. At the same time, it will also provoke a new round of war.
Although, Japan has never taken Jilin as a local warlord in its eyes. However, the just-concluded Russo-Japanese War had already exhausted all the wealth that Japan had accumulated over the past decade. During the war, Japan spent as much as 200 million yen on military expenditure alone. At present, Japan's fiscal revenue for the whole year is only 500 million yen. Nearly half of the fiscal revenue was invested in the war, making the Japanese government's fiscal deficit very frightening.
If you want to start a war again, I'm afraid it will be impossible. Relying only on a few railway garrison brigades, if you want to defeat the Jilin Army, it is also delusional. In order to win, it is necessary to devote the troops deployed in Kwantung Prefecture and the troops deployed in Korea to the war.
"Sir, what are we going to do?" When Onodera Jiro saw that the Chinese were carrying steel, his heart was about to burst into flames.
"Your Excellency, you will definitely pay the price for today's actions!" After Gentaro Kodama dropped a cruel word, he left without looking back.
Onodera Jiro was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly followed. His face was very ugly. He knew that Gentaro Kodama chose to back down. Such a result made him unbelievable. At the same time, he began to worry about his future. Originally, he also wanted to use this incident to add points to himself. I didn't expect it, but in the end, it turned out to be like this.
"Humph! Cunning old fox! Wu Haoxuan snorted coldly. These little Japan, as expected, are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard. Of course, he didn't think this was the end of the matter. Those Japanese people obviously won't give up like this. Next, he had to deal with the Japanese attack.
The Japanese do not necessarily threaten to use force, but that does not mean that they will not resort to other means. For example, oppression in the field of diplomacy, or directly asking Yuan Shikai's central government to reprimand the Jilin Governor's Office, etc. However, Wu Haoxuan is not afraid of these challenges. Strengthening your own strength is the most important thing.
"Young Marshal, Little Japan is gone!" Shi Tianchuan's face was excited. After Gentaro Kodama left, the Japanese soldiers who were originally fierce also withdrew, as if they had never come.
"The Japanese don't just leave it at that. Chief of Staff, you stay and wait until the workers have transported all the steel before you withdraw. I'll go back first and think about what to do with those Japanese! Wu Haoxuan said. He had to plan ahead to avoid getting scrambling.
"Okay, young marshal!" Shi Tianchuan nodded. Wu Haoxuan was not even afraid of the Japanese, and even made the Japanese have to give in, which made Wu Haoxuan's image in his eyes undoubtedly even taller.
When Wu Haoxuan returned to the tutor's headquarters, he saw a tall back in the office. He is very familiar with this back, because this is his father, Wu Xingquan, the overseer of Jilin.
"Dad, why are you here?" Wu Haoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then figured out the reason.
"Is everything settled?" Wu Xingquan turned around and asked.
"It's solved for the time being, but the Japanese obviously won't give up, and I'm afraid that they will attack with new means next!" Wu Haoxuan said.
"What the hell is going on? Haoxuan, you dislike the Japanese, I've always known this. Otherwise, you would not have refused to go to the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School in the first place. However, you have to remember that our strength is still too weak, and we simply do not have the capital to compete with the Japanese. If you anger the Japanese, the consequences will be unimaginable! Wu Xingquan said. Having experienced the Russo-Japanese War, he was well aware of the strength of the Japanese. Lao Maozi has been powerful in the Northeast for so many years, but he was defeated by the Japanese.
"Dad, it's not me who provokes the Japanese. But this time the Japanese bullied us. This time, they want to rob us of thousands of tons of high-quality steel, and next time, they will rob us of more things, and even directly occupy our arsenal. Little Japan is simply an unfed wolfdog, and if we don't take tough measures, they will have to take an inch and eventually swallow us all in one gulp. Only this time let the Japanese know how good we are, they will not act rashly, and we will get more time to develop! Wu Haoxuan said solemnly.
"So, are you sure how to deal with the Japanese next?" Wu Xingquan nodded, he knew Wu Haoxuan's character, as long as he decided something, it would be difficult to change it.
"Dad, don't worry! Don't forget that our arsenal has American-funded shares, which can be regarded as an American-funded enterprise. In addition, I have some friends in the United States who can influence the decision-making of the U.S. government. If the Japanese want to use their brains, it is impossible. Wu Haoxuan smiled.
The Xihua Group is also a large group in the United States, and more importantly, Wu Haoxuan's partners, whether they are the Rockefeller family or the DuPont family, are all well-known big families in the United States, and they have great influence in the United States, and can even influence the country's policies in a certain way. As long as they are willing to help, the threat of little Japan is nothing.
As for the attitude of the United States, although in the Russo-Japanese War, the United States supported the Japanese. However, this does not mean that they will continue to support the Japanese after the end of the Russo-Japanese War. The emergence of a powerful Japan in the western Pacific is also very detrimental to the interests of the United States in the Pacific region. I'm afraid that next, it will be the Americans who will suppress the Japanese. Otherwise, there would not have been the world-famous Great White Fleet.
Of course, when Wu Xingquan heard that Wu Haoxuan actually had the ability to influence the policies of the US government, he was also secretly shocked. This son of his own has grown to a height that even he can't see through.
