Chapter 301: Extra-High Class
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the golden sunlight shines on the wide streets of Vladivo, the magenta brick walls and pavilions rise one after another, and the soft light makes people feel warm in normal times, but at this time, the reflection of a large number of Japanese troops landing in the harbor makes this Far Eastern fortress add a bit of solemnity.
With the sound of loud footsteps, groups of Japanese soldiers landed in a neat line, arrogantly looking at Yiqiē in their sight. More than ten years ago, the Japanese army defeated hundreds of thousands of Tsarist Russian troops in the Far East in one fell swoop, and almost wiped out the Tsarist fleet in the Far East. However, the last time the two sides fought on the territory of the weak Qing government, this time the Japanese army landed on the territory of Tsarist Russia, and the fertile soil of the Far East with almost no trace of obscenity will be open to the Japanese Empire.
Pedal...
In the headquarters of the 3rd Division of the Japanese Army, a rush of footsteps sounded. Two shiny black leather whips pressed compactly on the thick stone floor. It seems that the owner's mood fluctuates unusually.
"I have long heard that Tian Huangjun is the future star of the special high class, but you have recently been in the area of Siberia, and you rushed to Vladivostok with stars and moons, and I don't know what to advise." Otani Shouo looked at the visitor with an indifferent face, and Otani Shouo has always had no good impression of the people who have always regarded themselves as orthodox soldiers and defeated the enemy head-on with the noble artillery doctrine. The words were very cold.
"Your Excellency Otani, I know that you have great confidence in the army under your command, and I also believe that you can lead them to defeat the red Russian Russia that is standing in front of you. But this time the potential enemy was far from expected. Regarding Otani Shoufu's attitude, Tian Huangzhen said indifferently.
"What potential enemy? Even the British and American ghosts, although they have a lot of suspicions about the Empire's large-scale military deployment, they simply do not have the strength to contain the Empire in the Far East. Otani Toshio smiled at first, and said with some soberness. Are you referring to the northeast of China? ”
Tian Huangzhen nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it is the northeast of China, according to reliable information, the Northeast Army has begun to persuade Tsarist Russia to surrender the Amur River Fleet in Boli, and at the same time, in addition to the imperial intelligence agencies, they are doing ideological work in the old army of Boli Tsarist Russia. And Red Russia. At the same time, the Russians, who had already surrendered to the empire, had provided definite information that at least one division of the Northeast Army in China had crossed the Amur River and appeared thirty miles west of the city of Boli in the winter. ”
"At least one division!" Toshio Otani stood up abruptly while slapping the table, and couldn't help but say angrily, "What does that guy Kawashima Jun eat?" Doesn't it mean that the northeastern part of China has secretly reached an agreement with the Reich to fully support this operation of the Reich in the Far East? If the important railway town of Boli falls under the control of the Northeast Army of China, doesn't it mean that the future actions of the empire west of Boli will need to look at the face of the Northeast Army? ”
"Exactly. I have been away from the base camp for a long time, and I want to know how strong the determination of the empire is this time, and if it is possible, when a group of people in the city of Boli who are countering against the Red Russians will jointly resist the Northeast Army, and the Imperial army will speed up to the city of Boli, and seize Boli before the Northeast Army of China, I believe that under the established fact that the imperial army has occupied Boli. No matter how bold that Qin Yu was, he didn't dare to act rashly. Unless he wants an all-out war with the Empire! ”
Tian Huang's face was grim, and he also hated the Northeast, with the help of the brothels opened by Japan in the Northeast in the past, there were Japanese businessmen, expatriates, and ronins everywhere. The extra-high school course can be said to be pervasive for the Northeast. If there is a slight disturbance in the Northeast, you can know about the special high school classes at the first time. But in recent years, as Qin Yu's control of the Northeast has deepened, the behavior of Japanese businessmen to bully and dominate the market has been restricted, and ronin. The movement of the diaspora has also been greatly affected, and it can no longer be as unscrupulous as it used to be. The brothels opened in Japan were also heavily taxed, so that there were fewer and fewer Japanese brothels that could continue to operate, and those Qing Dynasty officials who had been very close to Japan since the former Qing Dynasty, the gentry have also come to draw more and more lines with the special high school in recent years. Although the legacy of the previous strength, the special high school in the Northeast is still unimaginable to ordinary people, but the roots have been removed, and under the blow of the Northeast intelligence agency, it is impossible to change the fact that it is shrinking day by day.
"Our forward has just crossed Miaoxi now, but the Northeast Army is now thirty miles away from Boli, and from the distance, it is impossible to catch up with the front of the Northeast Army." Otani thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Of course, this is a conventional method, if you can participate in this matter with the military department, it will be very promising." ”
"Please also ask Lord Otani to show me." Tian Huangzhen said.
"Our department is advancing lightly, and at the same time, the special high school department and I are at the same time to report to the general staff headquarters about Boli's predicament, forcing the cabinet to increase the budget for sending troops, sending more troops to the Russian Far East, and cleaning up the remnants of Red Russia, while deterring the Northeast Army, which is in full swing during this time, so that they can settle down a little under the nose of the empire. If you don't have enough strength, with the character of the patrol envoy in the northeast, I'm afraid I won't let Boli go so lightly. In addition, it would be better to resolve the matter diplomatically through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”
Otani Toshio's voice was cold, in his opinion, even if the Northeast Army was a big threat, it was relative. Even if the Northeast Army can fight again, but the Northeast Army, which has been developed for several years, will not be able to compete with the strength of Japan alone, and as long as the base camp sends additional troops, it will be difficult for the Northeast to withstand the strong pressure of Japan in the Russian Far East. The reason why Otani Toshio enlisted Tian Arazaki to act together this time was that the ultimate goal was to completely swallow the vast land of the Russian Far East.
If there is not enough army support, he will not be able to even make a wave in this vast and desecrated land, and when the cold winter comes, in the face of the guerrilla tactics of Red Russia, even a division can only be confined to a very small number of towns, and cannot really take this territory as his own, and this result is better than not sending troops. Toshio Otani and several fanatical imperialist soldiers felt that this battle must be fought quickly and wipe out the Red Russian guerrilla squads in the Far East in one fell swoop, otherwise it would be protracted and demoralizing, and the interference of the great powers would also be a very troublesome matter for Japan.
"Okay, the special high class will fully cooperate with His Excellency Otani this time." Tian Huangzhen, who had suffered a big loss in the Northeast, nodded, and the cooperation is beneficial to both sides, as early as before the Russo-Japanese War, the special high school sent a large number of Japanese spies into Siberia to collect a useful intelligence, and now the intelligence has collected a basket, if the Northeast Army takes the lottery, it is to take the Russian Far East, and the Japanese, who have always paid great attention to face, will also feel that this operation is smeared.
