Chapter 360: Aid

The border between China and North Korea stretches for more than 1,300 kilometers, of which only a few dozen kilometers are by land and mountain roads, and the rest is separated by the Yalu River and the Tumen River. Although there is still some land in Jiangbei that nominally belongs to the Republic of China, but since the end of the Qing Dynasty, at that time, under the promotion of Tsarist Russia, some land in Jiangbei has actually been controlled by the Koreans, and later under the strong strength of the Japanese army, the border line has been continuously encroached and eroded.

With such a long border, it is obviously impossible for Japan to do everything with its manpower and material resources at this time. Under the impetus of Jiang Shaobo and his entourage, the Korean independence movement turned into riots in some areas, cutting down telephone poles and cutting telephone lines. North Korea is already in turmoil. As a result, the temporary garrison posts on the border have been affected a lot.

"Shaobo-kun, will there really be a large number of guns coming from the north?" Li Shuo is also a member of the Korean royal family, is Li Xi's nephew, experienced the incident of Li Xi being poisoned, and now the Korean royal family is like a doll in the hands of the Japanese, Li Shuo and a few other bold people have been in contact with the northeast, and contacted the rebels in North Korea to prepare for armed anti-Japanese, so the weapons from the north are very important.

"Of course, you think I'm talking about it." Jiang Shaobo rolled his eyes, he didn't look down on these rebels in Korea at all, the weapons he had were nothing more than a few kitchen knives, spears and the like, and there were only two or three guns in the team of hundreds of people, which were still snatched from the Japanese. With this kind of equipment, the Republic of China will be thousands of times stronger than them if they pull out a bandit at will. If you want to make a big fuss in North Korea, it's all for nothing if you don't have a guy on hand.

Jiang Shaobo secretly scolded the Japanese for being too strict in their control over North Korean weapons, and it was no wonder that North Korea could not make trouble, and even kitchen knives had to be chained to the cutting board. In some places, two or three households need to share a kitchen knife. The guns and swords of Japanese civil and military officials in Korea are also strictly controlled. If it weren't for the fact that members of the special operations brigade had smuggled some weapons into the DPRK before, I am afraid that there would not have been such a big disturbance in this independence movement.

The reason why there is no record of the civil uprising in Korea, and even a nationwide movement such as Saniyi did not turn into an uprising, is that the weapons are too tightly controlled, and the Japanese Combined Fleet has obscured the nearby seas. In the Far East, there was no rival, and the customs were completely controlled by Japan, so the weapons of the great powers could not be imported into Korea, and the Republic of Korea, the only country bordering Korea, could not protect itself, so naturally it did not dare to anger Japan on this issue.

However, at this time, the Northeast had begun to take strength, and hundreds of thousands of army forces, even the Japanese army, did not dare to provoke a war lightly, and the relations between the Republic of China and Japan were extremely poor, and they had recently fought over the issue of tariff autonomy, so it did not matter if they were offended. In the spirit of pushing the other party into the pit as long as there is a chance. The spirit of being able to step on two feet is not just one foot. It is not surprising that the Northeast will provide large-scale assistance to the Korean rebels.

Thousands of people were hidden in the waist-deep weeds, squatting in it and not a single ghost could be seen, Li Shuo stared nervously at the opposite side of the river, and could faintly hear the sound of the oars on the river plucking the river. I saw dozens of wooden boats on the other side breaking through the fog, and in order to avoid alarming the attention of the Japanese side as much as possible, I did not use the kind of small steamer that made a loud noise. It's a little slower, but it's safe.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Li Shuo and several other volunteer army leaders looked excited. I almost rushed out of the weeds.

"Don't make a fuss. Respond to the goods in order. The person who got the gun was in charge of guarding the outside. Jiang Shaobo reprimanded, seeing the appearance of the ship, Jiang Shaobo's hanging heart also fell into his stomach, this time there were more than 2,000 volunteers who came to receive the goods, and the nearest Japanese army only had two infantry squadrons and one cavalry squadron. As long as you can get your hands on a weapon. With more than 2,000 people, the Japanese army was also grinding to death, and four or five miles behind him was the mountainous area, and most of the Japanese army arrived and drilled into the mountain. The Japanese army only had the share of catching the blind.

In an uproar, hundreds of volunteers waded into the water under the command and unloaded boxes of goods on the ship, a box of rifles is ten shots, plus the weight of the wooden box reached more than 100 catties, but the labor force of this era is dry and dry, and the weight of 100 catties can still be carried.

As the wooden boxes were opened one by one, revealing the Japanese-made 38 rifles inside, eighty percent new, Li Shuo and other leaders of the rebel army couldn't help but have their eyes shining, damn it, even the guys equipped by the Japanese regular army are nothing more than that. The rebels present are used to being poor, where have they ever seen this kind of family background.

Cargo on the other side of the river was transported several times.

The first man wearing black clothes and black pants, but with a lean face, was negotiating with Jiang Shaobo, "Five thousand rifles and two million bullets." 20,000 grenades, five heavy machine guns, 200 box guns, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition. Three radio stations, you can use these things leisurely, if the Japanese side reacts later, it will be difficult to have such a large amount of assistance. ”

"Hey, deputy team, I didn't expect to transport your things over, why don't you take us to make trouble in North Korea?" Jiang Shaobo said with a smile, the person who came was his deputy captain in the special operations team, and he used to be his instructor, and Jiang Shaobo was convinced of the instructor's ability.

"I have another task on my body, so I won't make do with you, be careful yourself, this is not a dead task, save yourself properly." The sturdy man shook his head and said.

"That's right, deputy team, this North Korean rebel army is really poor, I didn't expect the above to be so generous, transport so many things over, I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish moving it for a while, and besides, fighting guerrilla warfare in North Korea, you also need some mobility ability, or the deputy team, you can help me get some horses, otherwise just pulling these things into the mountains will be nerve-wracking." Jiang Shaobo said hesitantly.

The sturdy man frowned, "If only a few horses, I can still call the shots." But there are too many, and I have to ask for instructions from above. ”

"Naturally, I won't embarrass Your Excellency, and in order to thank you for your assistance, we have also brought some Japanese yen this time, and please take care of your Majesty." Li Shuo walked over at the right time and said.

"That's fine. There are hundreds of mules and horses that have transported this batch of goods from the other side, and there are more than a dozen good horses, which can go to the battlefield, as long as you can get the money, the cost price will be given to you. The sturdy man nodded, he still had this permission.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Li Shuo was overjoyed when he heard this. "The royal family is deeply grateful for your assistance, and if we can restore the country one day, we will repay this kindness tenfold."

The sturdy man nodded, but there was a little coldness in his heart, under Japan's high-pressure policy, it should be no problem for these rebels to stay in the mountains and fight guerrillas, and wanting to restore the country is tantamount to a fool's dream, it is the Northeast Army. It's not easy to win against the Japanese army, let alone these miscellaneous cards. However, on the surface, of course, it is not suitable to undermine the confidence of the other party.

"Your Royal Highness, don't take it to heart, that person used to be my instructor, and his personality is like this, even if it is, I don't have anything to say." In order to avoid embarrassment, Jiang Shaobo explained to Li Shuo and the others.

"Major Jiang is assured that your country has provided us with so much selfless support. It's too late for us to be grateful. Li Shuo hurriedly said, he also knew that there were several rebel armies in Korea. They're the biggest, but the others must have benefited a lot. Looking at the excited expressions of the rebel soldiers who came to pick up the goods, Li Shuo and several other leaders couldn't help but look excited. In the past, they had always fought alone in Korea, and in the face of Japanese soldiers armed to the teeth, they could only hide and walk, not so much that they were rebels. However, it is almost the same as a group of people who were forced to rush to the wilderness and wait to fend for themselves. However, now with the support of the Northeast, they have obtained so many weapons for the first time, and it is not without their strength to encounter the Japanese army in the future, and more importantly, they have strong backup, and they are no longer a lonely desperate battle.

"Hey. There are so many weapons, enough to equip a mixed brigade, but unfortunately there is no artillery, otherwise it is impossible to fight the Japanese army head-on. Jiang Shaobo clenched his fists.

"Fighting the Japanese head-on? I'm going to dismiss you for the time being. For the time being, they are still mainly guerrillas, and they have just obtained weapons, and the disparity between the untrained and the Japanese army is too great, and if it is possible, it is more reliable for you to send some people to the northeast to learn artillery techniques, and then transport the artillery over. The sturdy man shook his head.

"That's right."

After unloading, the dozen or so ships sailed back to the opposite shore and disappeared from sight.

Here, Li Shuo, Cui Zhengyu and other leaders of the rebel army couldn't put it down, and one of them got a 38-type rifle, pinned a box gun to his waist, and happily pressed the bullet into the magazine.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County, I think we should quickly transport things to the mountains, and then plan well, and then plan the next action plan, take down a few county seats, grab some food, and then expand the team. If we encounter a small Japanese army, we are fully capable of encircling and annihilating it. Jiang Shaobo urged Li Shuo.

"Okay, okay, what Advisor Jiang said is, let's speed up, but Advisor Jiang, when will our assistance arrive?" It was Cui Zhengyu who spoke, and it was the first time he got such a big sweetness, and Cui Zhengyu looked forward to the benefits more and more.

Jiang Shaobo rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but scold this Goryeo stick for being insatiable, these guys can also equip an elite brigade in China. This guy just got it in his hand and thought about the back, "This naturally depends on whether we can achieve results, this time we have taken so many weapons, if we fail to make results, it can only mean that we are incompetent, and the supplies behind will naturally be reduced." There are several other rebel armies in your country, and whoever does a good job will increase the assistance to the Northeast. ”

Li Shuo, although Cui Zhengyu was a little disappointed in his heart, but he quickly left it behind, it was already an unexpected joy to get so many benefits, if he couldn't make some achievements, he really didn't have the face to ask for a guy from the Northeast again.

……………

Britain, the United States, Italy, and France have conditionally agreed to the Republic of China Tariff Autonomy Agreement, and Japan has also conditionally agreed to the Republic of China's tariff autonomy agreement."

"Outside, outside, the drought in Henan, millions of victims, the central disarmament with provincial military expenditure, relief to the victims. Now another disaster relief group has been set up to raise funds for disaster relief, with the president donating 20,000 yuan and the three eastern provinces donating 50,000 yuan......."

"Extra, extra, the prince of Outer Mongolia requests to revoke autonomy and reattach himself to the central government, and now the petition group has passed Zhangjiakou and will rush to Beijing in the near future!"

It is said that the ministers of the five countries are all opposed to the tariff autonomy of the Republic of China, especially France and Japan. When Yu Shuai heard this, he was furious, and slapped his palm on the table on the spot, and the conference table was torn apart, the teacup was broken, and sweat was splashed. angrily reprimanded the French minister, said that he was damned, and wanted to blackmail tens of thousands of compatriots in our Republic of China, how far and how far to Lao Tzu, and you Japan, to Lao Tzu to withdraw all the people and horses in the Republic of China, it is a big deal to break off diplomatic relations, one shot and two scattered, and the fish will die and the net will be broken! ”

In the teahouse, the storyteller spat all over the place, took a sip of tea and continued to talk about the situation of the day, although some aspects were exaggerated, there were six or seven points similar.

Since the Fourth Treaty of the Republic of China, the Republic of China has gone downhill, and then it has been humiliated, and it has reached its peak after the Paris Peace Conference. Internal and external troubles, disasters and famines are continuous, and wars are fought again and again. However, since the entry of the Feng army, Beijing has changed its master, and not only the situation has been cleared, but what is even more exciting is that the Republic of China has made breakthroughs in diplomacy one after another. Not only did Outer Mongolia request for the revocation of autonomy, but it was also related to the revocation of the gold of hundreds of millions of people, and the more important news was that the customs sovereignty that had been lost for decades would return to the embrace of the Republic of China. The Republic of China, which has been weak for a long time, needs such a person who dares to fight hard for the interests of the country, and even more needs such an army.

Through the car window, Chen Youren heard the cheers of students and citizens on the street from time to time, and his heart was full of excitement at the same time, just like the mood of those people, Chen Youren also felt that the blood in his body was burning at this time.

When he walked to Qin Yu's office, Qin Yu was holding a newspaper run by the British, which read about the tough hooligan diplomacy of the Republic of China.

"The legations of the great powers have been in China for decades, and they have never met anyone who can make them back down, and this time they have relented, and there will inevitably be resentment in their hearts. Chen Youren strode in and said.

"Haha, if you can take back the sovereignty of the country with just a few words of infamy from foreigners, even if tens of millions of people point at my Qin's nose and accuse, what is it, and there will be no less piece of meat." Qin Yu crumpled the newspaper and laughed.

"The handsome's broad-mindedness makes people's hearts break." Chen Youren said sincerely.

"Judging by your appearance, the affairs of the customs should have a result, right?" Qin Yu asked.

"There are results, but the Japanese do not agree with the Republic of China to raise tariffs to too high a proportion all at once, Kohata said that the Republic of China can raise taxes, but the increase in taxes cannot exceed 2%, and it will take a five-year transition period, and other powers also tend to the opinions of the Japanese side." Chen Youren said.

"Who do the Japanese think they are? If you hold out for a few days, it really won't work, and the tax increase will be increased by at least five percentage points, and the transition period will only last for two years at most. If it doesn't work, I'll notify the Japanese to withdraw all the envoys in the Republic of China within three days, damn it, I really thought I was joking. Qin Yu snorted, and secretly said that he must increase his support for the Korean rebels in order to repay Japan's hatred of obstruction.

Chen Youren nodded excitedly, in fact, even if it is two percentage points, it will cost hundreds of millions more income a year, and in addition to the gap in the first year, there are still tens of millions more. In the second and third years, the development of industry and commerce brought about by the abolition of the penny will soon be felt. In any case, this was an unprecedented victory in the diplomatic history of the Republic of China. (To be continued......)
