Thanks to Meng Ling's monthly ticket and Qiu Shaoyun's reward, Satan will work hard, thank you for your support!!

Zhang Zuolin couldn't sleep when he returned home after sending Tang Shaoyi back, he was thinking about how he should choose, this choice is not only related to himself but also related to the way out of a group of brothers who follow him, now there are only two choices, one is to take refuge in the Chinese government, the other is to take refuge in the Japanese, as for Russia, he will not consider it, far from the water can not solve the near fire.

According to the current situation, it is true that Japan is the most powerful in Northeast China, and the Huaxia government does not dare to go to war with the Japanese for the time being, but from the long-term trend, the Huaxia government will definitely unify the Northeast and drive the Japanese away, because the Huaxia government will sooner or later surpass Japan with the support of Germany and other countries, and he feels that it is safer to join Huaxia. However, after deciding to choose the Huaxia government, he was embarrassed again, he didn't know what kind of storage he would be if he joined the Huaxia government, whether he would be pulled down by the central government to retire like the governors of the provinces in Guannai, and he didn't know how the Huaxia government would deal with his subordinates, after all, they had been officers for so long and they were used to these powers, and if they were deprived of their powers, they would inevitably cause chaos, so this was what he was most worried about.

In fact, Zhang Zuolin wants to retain his power more in his heart, who doesn't like power, being able to transform from a green forest hero to today's Metropolitan Governor all shows his ambition, but the opportunity given to him in this era is not very great, and being able to do the Metropolitan Governor is basically his limit.

Just when Zhang Zuolin and Tang Shaoyi were chatting and drinking together, Zhao Erxun was also talking with the people of the Yigan Sect Socialist Party, and they also attached great importance to this negotiation, but Zhao Erxun's views were different from those of Kawashima Naniwa and others.

"Hmph, the Huaxia government is too strong, not only does it want us to hand over the power in our hands but also station the army on the bank of the Liao River, how is this possible, it's just too much. Your Excellency has contacted Mongolia or not, when will we be able to take the entire Mukden Province into our hands, only by holding it in our hands can we have more say in the matter. Zhao Erxun said to Prince Su and Kawashima Naniwa.

Prince Su said helplessly: "Alas, since we were attacked by Yan Zhòng a few months ago, the weapons cannot be transported to the Karaqin King, and the weapons that Japan supports us have also expanded our troops for you, so now is not the time, we have to try to delay the time for negotiations." ”

"The weapons of the Great Japanese Empire will arrive soon, now what we have to do is to delay time, you can rest assured, the Huaxia government does not dare to attack the northeast, the empire already has three regular divisions in Korea, and there are three Koreans composed of troops. I think we should sabotage this peace talks, because once Zhang Zuolin and Xu Lanzhou make any bad decisions with the Huaxia government, we will be finished, so we should sabotage this negotiation. Kawashima Naniwa said fiercely.

The Japanese military department and Kawashima Naniwa and other "mainland theorists" cannot wait, they believe that the above-mentioned policy adopted by the Japanese government is passive, and they can no longer wait, and advocate the partition of China now, while the policy of the Saionji cabinet is to maintain the status quo in Manchuria as much as possible, and to turn Manchuria into a Japanese colony, it is necessary to wait for an extremely favorable opportunity for Japan, so the two sides have different opinions, and Kawashima Naniwa's activities in the northeast have not received the support of the cabinet, he has only won the support of the military department.

Kawashima Naniwa thinks that this peace talks are a good opportunity, if they succeed, they can colonize the Northeast earlier, after all, now the Japanese forces can control the Northeast very well, once the Chinese government attacks here, he believes that the cabinet will also fight back, and then the weak Chinese government will definitely not be their opponent, so the day of colonizing the Northeast is just around the corner.

"Destroy? If the Chinese government attacks, the prime minister will be hit by us, how can the country be restored if the army is gone? This is absolutely impossible, otherwise everything we have done before will be in vain, so let's buy time, and it doesn't matter if we release something. Zhao Erxun heard Kawashima Naniwa say that he wanted to sabotage the negotiation, so he quickly retorted. He didn't think that the Japanese would feel Mukden when they were killed, and if they destroyed it, they would be completely on the same page as Kannai, and how could they bring the imperial family back in the future.

Kawashima Naniwa didn't speak this time, he didn't care about Zhao Erxun's life and death, as long as he completed the colonization of Manchuria ahead of schedule, he would have enough political capital to return to China to run for prime minister, as long as he became prime minister, he would not hesitate to launch a war against China with the military department. He had to plan how to sabotage the negotiations, and only by arousing the anger of the Huaxia government could he lead them to attack the northeast, and he also had to notify the people in the military department in advance to make preparations in private.

Prince Su looked at Kawashima Naniwa from the side and didn't speak, Kawashima Naniwa and he were sworn brothers, although he also felt that it was not good to sabotage the negotiation, but he had nothing to do, now he needed Kawashima's help, and if Japan occupied the Northeast, maybe they would be able to restore the country openly, as for the little emperor in the Guannai, he wouldn't care, and it was best to be the emperor himself.

Not only Zhao Erxun was discussing the negotiation, but Xu Lanzhou was also discussing with his subordinates in his mansion at this time, which can see the importance of this negotiation.

"How's the Governor negotiating?" Li Jinglin saw that Xu Lanzhou was back, so he asked directly, after Xu Lanzhou became the governor, he directly appointed him as the chief of staff of the First Division of Heilongjiang, and he was among the people brought this time.

Xu Lanzhou shook his head and sighed: "The Huaxia government is too strong, their demands are a bit excessive, but even if people are strong, you can't do anything, dissolving the Northeast government, garrisoning near the Liaohe River, taking back our power, etc., are all excessively oppressing us." ”

"I'll just say that negotiations are useless, but we have to talk about it, as long as the Russian army seems to have a tendency to gather in large numbers to the Far East recently, we are under a lot of pressure, the Japanese have just come to win us over, I really don't know if Japan has too much money to spend, and even said that as long as they join them, they will have tens of millions of silver dollars." Li Jinglin is a martial artist, and he said bluntly.

"The Japanese are probably also anxious, after all, now that the Chinese government has begun to enter the Northeast, their interests in the Northeast are too great, and we may not have a good time between Japan and Russia in the future. It's absolutely not okay to take refuge in the Japanese, there is absolutely no part for us to speak under the Japanese, and we will even be turned around and disown people, and Huaxia will at least give up a false position, but I don't want to give up just like that, I am unwilling to take away this little family business that I have worked so hard to build. ”

"Governor, what should we do, join the Huaxia government? It seems that some governors of the Huaxia government still get important tasks, don't you see that Yan Xishan leads the positions of governor of Shanxi and deputy commander of the Northwest Military Region, and there are also Chen Jiongming in Guangdong, Duan Qirui, an old minister in Beiyang, and other cadres who have positions of real power, so if they enter the Huaxia government with the ability of the governor, they will also be reused. I'm afraid that there may be a lot of people in the air when the brothers are in the air, and I don't know if they can bear it. Li Jinglin said a little worriedly.

Xu Lanzhou also knew that many people in the army did not have much knowledge, and it was estimated that the Huaxia government would be laid off, and I was afraid that there would be turmoil, and no one would give up power. The more worrying thing is that if they take refuge in China, they will not be able to engage in over-secret behavior with Japan and Russia in the future, otherwise the Huaxia government will be finished if it has any scruples, and without the support of Japan and Russia, Heilongjiang's army will not even be satisfied with its own arms and weapons, and Heilongjiang's economy is not very prosperous, and there is nothing in industry, and some of them are also in the hands of Japan and Russia.

Xu Lanzhou thought for a while and said: "Alas, now is the most unfavorable for me, Zhao Erxun's old horseman is estimated to have defected to Japan, and Zhang Zuolin still has his own old book to consume, whether it is the army or the economy is better than us, I see that Zhang Zuolin and the representatives of Huaxia are very familiar with each other, I don't know if they will carry out any secret transactions, we also have to take this opportunity to fool Japan and Russia to strengthen ourselves." ”

Xu Lanzhou suddenly thought of why not use this opportunity to expand his strength again, as long as he handles it properly, it will still work, this is a rare opportunity, maybe it will not work to fool around on both sides in the future.

"Fonzen, you confess that anyone who has a Japanese or a Russian to win them over will accept any money or weapons, and then hand them all in, and this must be done in secret, and do not accept them all, and do not let the Japanese and Russian people find out. By the way, there are also people to get in touch with the representatives of Huaxia, test them, and if they can, they will tie up with the Huaxia government, and maybe they will be used in the future. ”

"Knowing the governor, I will let them pay attention, I am afraid that someone will take the writing to do things, and then really turn to the Japanese and Russians, and now there may be some people who have taken refuge in Japan, it will not be good if they tell the truth, I will let someone trustworthy do this kind of thing." Li Jinglin said cautiously.

Xu Lanzhou frowned and said, "It's okay, this can also get some guys with ulterior motives out, I want to see who has the courage to betray me." You go back first, expand the army, and then you will go when I negotiate and play, you give me a good look at those calves, don't take advantage of my absence to do whatever you want, see if I go back and don't clean them up. ”

"Okay, Governor, I'll rush back tomorrow morning to expand the army, by the way, how many people are we going to expand?"

"Hmph, Zhang Zuolin, this old horseman, only allows us to expand two divisions, but you go back to expand two divisions, according to the number of Japanese divisions, the original four divisions will also be added to me to 15,000 divisions, if there are no weapons, let them take turns to change training first, and then talk about it when there are enough arms in the future, and go to me to suppress bandits, the military expenses for the expansion of the army have to be scraped from them, and those who don't give money will be destroyed by me."

Li Jinglin nodded and didn't speak, he was thinking about how to expand the army and collect protection money when he went back, the governor would no longer have anyone to embarrass him, so he said: "Give me a letter from the governor, I can speed up when I go back, otherwise it will delay time." ”

"Okay, I'll write an order later, you don't have to worry, they don't dare to disobey my order, wait a minute, I'll ask someone to bring it to you, you go down first."

"Thank you for the Governor's kindness, Fang Cen will definitely complete the Governor's task, then I'll go down first, and the Governor will see you again."

After Li Jinglin left, Xu Lanzhou wrote an order to hand it to his personal guards, and told them to go to sleep after handing over the order to Li Jinglin tomorrow morning.
