Chapter 178: The Cold Wind Rises

While Lieutenant General Muraoka Chotaro and Daisaku Kawamoto were conspiring, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiichi Tanaka, who was in Tokyo, looked gloomily in his office. But I can't find a good opportunity. Perhaps, this is his last chance to promote him, right? Yoshiichi Tanaka thought a little coldly in his heart.

In all fairness, Yoshiichi Tanaka is not incompetent, he was born in the army, and he was the Japanese army minister before he even became the prime minister, he has considerable strength and influence, and even he is the fifth president of the Political Friendship Association, and when he was serving in the army, he compiled military regulations including the "Army Internal Affairs Book", "Infantry Drill Code", "Baggage Soldier Drill Code", "Army Education Order", "Army Supplementary Order" and so on, which made his deeds in office prove his strength. Even when he was a staff officer of the 1st Division in 1895, he formulated a mobilization system for the 1st Division, which was considered to be very detailed and highly complete, and almost the original plan was adopted during the war, and even other divisions and regiments borrowed this mobilization system

Use.

This also allowed Tanaka Yoshiichi to establish his prestige in the Japanese army, but this time the matter was too significant, directly more than 10,000 elite Japanese troops lost in Jinan City, died under the guns of the squadron that they considered to be the scum army, such a thing even made Tanaka, who had always maintained a strong prestige in the Japanese Army, was knocked down into the abyss, and the Japanese soldiers who lost their comrades even angrily rushed into his office and shouted to shoot him.

At this moment, Minister of War Yoshinori Shirakawa, Minister of Internal Affairs Kizaburo Suzuki, Minister of the Navy Keisuke Okada, and Minister of Finance Mito Tadazo suddenly walked into Tanaka's office and looked at Tanaka without saying a word. After a long while, Shirakawa Yoshinori looked at Tanaka and whispered, "Your Excellency, we have jointly asked His Majesty the Emperor that you can remain in office. After all, this 'Jinan incident; It was a complete accident beyond our control. According to the latest information we have received, the governments of the north and south of China are trying to negotiate peace, and Britain and the United States are very wary of the empire because of the information leaked by Takashi Sakai......

Tanaka couldn't help but be silent when he heard Shirakawa's words, and he began to think that he couldn't contact Shirakawa because Shirakawa was going to abandon him. But what he didn't expect was that Shirakawa actually went to unite the Minister of Internal Affairs Kizaburo Suzuki, the Minister of the Navy Keisuke Okada, and the Minister of the Treasury Mito Tadazo to write a letter to the emperor to intercede. For a while, Tanaka was full of emotion, and bowed deeply to several people and said in a deep voice: "Tanaka will live up to your trust and do his best for the interests of my great Japanese empire."

Just when this "will be peaceful" was staged in Tokyo, Tu Qianjun, who was in Jinan City, was also in trouble. The reason is that Huang Xiaoling actually came again, this time she came to persuade Tu Qianjun to join them on the order of her organization, for this reason, she harassed Tu Qianjun a lot, Tu Qianjun was annoyed, and those student buddies who were originally taking care of the wounded soldiers also began to make trouble, who called those soldiers ruffians all right, they boasted about how good their army commander was, and he chopped over more than ten Japanese ghosts when he went into battle with a big blade.

Either Tu Qianjun saw many people in the hospital, he didn't come in to heal his wounds, but took a needle and thread to sew his wounds directly at the entrance of the hospital. Or another soldier pouted and said, the army commander's marksmanship is so powerful that he ate the noodle fish of the old table in Shanxi that day, and killed a Japanese ghost after eating the army commander for a thousand meters, can you? So a group of student buddies who listened to Tu Qianjun's prestige history all day long unconsciously suddenly felt that this Tu Army Commander was really powerful, it was like a cow

So, the student buddies began to shift their goals, and their favorite thing after finishing their daily work in the hospital was to go to the headquarters, constantly looking at Tu Qianjun with admiration, hoping to hear him say in person how powerful he was. But it's a pity that Tu Qianjun is arranging the retreat of the New First Army every day, and he also has to pay attention to Zhang Zuolin's movements and the movements of the Northern Expeditionary Army, where do you sometimes tell stories to children? In addition, Huang Xiaoling took the trouble to instill all kinds of red theories in him, and Tu Qianjun was about to go crazy, and even several times Tu Qianjun was vicious, thinking about resisting the eleventh year in his arsenal and giving Huang Xiaoling a sudden attack, but unfortunately this kind of thing is just thinking about it, but what can it be? Tu Qianjun could only bear it hard, but the students were so easy to get rid of, after Qi Mudeng, an old guy who likes to show off, threw out, those students were really quiet and didn't bother Tu Qianjun again.

At this time, the Northern Expeditionary Army also reached a consensus on the matter of negotiation, in fact, it was also because Jiang Zhong proved that they had no money to fight. If there is a stalemate, then in a few months the economy in their rear will collapse. Even now, the Northern Expeditionary Army is almost out of cooking, so the panting North and the South finally sat down together and negotiated.

When negotiations between the north and the south began, Hinata Shirahiro, who was alias Shang Xudong, and Date Shunnosuke, who claimed to be Zhang Zongchangyi's brother and pseudonym Zhang Zongyuan, met secretly in Dezhou, where Zhang Zongchang lived......
