Ask for a ticket! How did the veterans and Japanese ronins appear after I overturned them?! Really think Lao Tzu is a fool?!

But on the surface, Zhang Zuolin still softened his tone and said slowly to Fang Ze Qianji: "Consul Fang Ze, you must know our current situation. We really need the help of your empire, so how could I send troops to attack Jinan City?! Wouldn't I be happier that you helped us stop the Northern Expeditionary Army?! Therefore, it is very likely that these people are the troops left behind by the Northern Expeditionary Army in Jinan City, and they are not my people. My people all withdrew to Texas with Zhang Zongchang, where did they stay in Jinan City?! ”

Zhang Zuolin's words made Fang Ze Qianji suspicious, could it be that those troops who stayed in Jinan City were really not Zhang Zuolin's subordinates? ! Zhang Zongchang was defeated and retreated to Texas, and it was known to Qianji, and it was not surprising that the troops sent by Zhang Zuolin were defeated and retreated together. But at present, the only ones who can force a war with the Japanese army in China are Zhang Zuolin and Jiang Zhongzheng's troops, and now the latest news is that the commander of the Saito Liu Brigade led the army to attack the Jinan City for nearly a day, which shows that the military quality of the defenders is not low! It couldn't have been done by the bandits, and the bandits didn't dare to directly attack Takabe Sakai, who had heavy artillery and machine guns.

But Fang Ze Qianji immediately put aside his doubts and said directly to Zhang Zuolin: "Dashuai, then we will skip this matter, but should you fulfill the secret agreement you promised and signed?!" You know, we've been signing this secret agreement for a long time! Now the cabinet of our empire is very impatient with your reasons and excuses! You must now give me an answer: when will you be able to fulfill those secret covenants?! ”

The secret treaty referred to by Fang Ze Qianji refers to the fact that when Guo Songling defected in 1925, Japan took advantage of the dying rule of Zhang Zuolin and proposed to Zhang Zuolin a secret treaty with basically the same content as the "21 Articles" on the Northeast issue:

Japanese subjects in the three eastern provinces and Inner Mongolia in the east all enjoy the right of commercial rent, that is, they have the same right to live and operate industry and commerce as the local residents; transfer of administrative power in the Majima area; the extension of the Gitun Railway, which is connected to the North Korean Railway east of the Tumen River; All lines of Taochang Road are allowed to open consulates in Japan; The detailed implementation measures for the above four items will be decided by the Japanese and Chinese diplomatic organs through joint consultations. ”

This also shows Zhang Zuolin's attitude towards the Japanese, because the Japanese are extremely ambitious, which also led Zhang Zuolin to guard against them. Not only began to contact Britain and the United States and other countries, but also began the process of self-development from arms and technicians. In the fields of transportation, resources, and economy, they secretly supported the enterprises of the three eastern provinces to confront the Japanese. Zhang Zuolin heard Fang Ze Qianji's words, sneered, and said slowly.

"I, Zhang Zuolin, have received the benefits of the Japanese, and I have taken out my own things to repay you for not asking! Give what you want! As a sign of my dedication, even if I ask for my deposit at the Bank of Japan, I can give it away! If you ask otherwise, as long as it is owned by Zhang Zuolin personally, I will never be stingy! Speaking of which, Zhang Zuolin "Whew!" Standing up, the height of only one meter and six meters was so frightened that Fang Zeqianji, who was taller than him, took a few steps back!

"However, if you want the land of the Northeast and the wealth of the Northeast, I can't be the master! I, Zhang Zuolin, am just a watchdog in the Northeast, looking at these things that have been left to future generations! Neither qualified to sell nor giving! Don't dare to be generous to others, since I have taken on the skin of this Northeast watchdog, I always have to guard something for my children and grandchildren. I can't let the fathers and elders of the three eastern provinces scold me for being a traitor after a hundred years! ”

Hearing Zhang Zuolin's words, Fang Ze Qianji's face became gloomy! Squeezed out a cold sentence from between his teeth and said to Zhang Zuolin: "Although you don't know about those soldiers in Jinan City now, forget it, but it is indeed a fact that Zhang Zongchang's soldiers killed dozens of Japanese expatriates in Jinan!" And you, as the commander of the security **, should be responsible for everything! If you really don't accept it, the Empire will naturally have another way! ”

Hearing Fang Ze Qianji's words, Zhang Zuolin sneered. After a while, he stared at Fang Ze Qianji and said coldly: "What do you say?!" What else can you do, just take it out! At most, it's just another army! My surname is Zhang and waiting for you!! Mahler: it! Lao Tzu wants to see if the bones of your Kwantung Army are hard or the bones of our An ** are hard!! Slow down and don't send!! ”

After speaking, Zhang Zuolin left the living room directly with a blue face. And Fang Ze Qianji also left the Grand Marshal's Mansion with a gloomy face, and this nearly three-hour meeting ended unhappily! After returning to the consulate, Kenkichi Yoshizawa sent a telegram to the Tanaka cabinet in Tokyo with a gloomy face.

The telegram said: The bandit Zhang Zuolin has clearly stated that he will not fulfill the secret agreement with the empire! And the Imperial "Manmeng Trustees" located in Beijing City were even more aware that the fourth battalion of the elite guard regiment of the Third Army of An** Central Army had recently disappeared for no reason. We have reason to suspect that this team is the army that is now fighting against the emperor ** team in Jinan! Zhang Zhi's attitude is very bad, and I hope that the policy of the empire should be cautious about it! This telegram: Kenkichi Yoshizawa, Consul of the Imperial Japanese Empire in Beijing.

At this time, Zhang Zuolin, who was in the Great Marshal's Mansion, also received the news from Tu Qianjun that he had annihilated the Saito Liu Brigade, and suddenly Zhang Zuolin, who was extremely aggrieved, burst into tears of laughter! Yan Zhengqing, who translated the message for him, said: "Call back to Junzi!" Let this kid give his seventh uncle a good breath for me! Mahler: it! These gang of dead Japanese sons have bullied Lao Tzu! It deserves to be cleaned up by the army! Let the army fight me well! came back, Lao Tzu gave him a promotion! By the way, let him be careful! Evacuate when things don't go well! Stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood! Saving your "sex" life is the first priority! ”

Yan Zhengqing agreed with a smile, then turned around and went down to call back. And Zhang Zuolin leaned back in the chair tiredly and didn't say a word for a long time. He knew that the Japanese were really anxious this time! I don't know what this group of people will do! The Northern Expeditionary Army is heavily pressed again, and the current situation of his own ** is really stormy......
