Yang Yuting said with a smile: "Humble words, just letting the Japanese daoqian, isn't it a little too magnanimous, not quite like your style!" ”

Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "Our biggest style is to be pragmatic, the Japanese don't have much meat on them, they can't squeeze anything, it's enough to make them bow their heads." ”

Since the Opium War, China's national fortunes have been in decline, being bullied, ceded land and paying reparations, and has been transformed from a former heavenly kingdom into a backward country that everyone can bully. In less than 100 years, such a tragic upheaval has dealt an unprecedented blow to the morale of the Chinese people, and it is very difficult to reverse the declining trend.

Being able to force the Japanese to bow their heads now is an unprecedented victory, and it is also an oath to the world that China is no longer a country that can be conquered by sending a few troops at will. If you dare to set foot on China's territory and infringe on China's sovereignty, you will face the end of annihilation!

This change can be regarded as the beginning of China's reversal of national fortunes, boosting the morale of the people, and establishing the image of the Fengjun, with many incidental effects that are very amazing. From now on, we will also set the rules for all shili in China, and if you surrender to the knees in the face of the great powers, it will inevitably attract strong dissatisfaction among the people.

If everyone can't do it, there can be an excuse to prevaricate, but now that someone has done it, the people will naturally have comparisons, and those who can't do it will only be ruthlessly abandoned.

Yang Yuting may not be able to see so far, but he still agrees with Zhang Tinglan's judgment, and China and Japan quickly resumed contact. It was still quite difficult to make little Japan daoqian, but both sides took a step back, and Feng Jun agreed that the Japanese would use the Trans-Siberian Railway to transport supplies, and the Japanese also tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of gold.

Just when the two sides were arguing about whether or not to do it, Chita's offensive and defensive battles had reached its most intense. The Russian majority concentrated a large number of troops, and the soldiers were constantly attacking the Japanese lines like a tidal wave.

Kinoshita Uzaburo also led the army to rush back to help, the Japanese and Russian sides launched a fierce battle around Chita, the Russian side occupied the advantage of numbers, and there was a large number of guerrillas to support, although the Japanese military quality surpassed the Russians a lot, but the morale was low, the supply was insufficient, and they fought in a foreign country for a long time. It has already consumed a lot of energy from the soldiers, but it is difficult to resist the Russian attack.

The battle lasted about five days, the Japanese had lost most of the city, and the shouts of the Russians Ula Ula had almost become a nightmare for them. The soldiers huddled in the cold wind, shivering. Panic. There's no way they can stand this hellish place anymore. The Russians are their enemies, and the Feng army has no ill intentions, and no one can stand it.

Tokyo is also quarreling again, and the core issue is how to solve the problems of the Far East, and how to continue to hold on. Or choose to retreat, leaving the Far East in a gloomy way.

Prime Minister Hara Kei has been pondering this question for a long time, he is the first civilian prime minister in Japanese history, and his political philosophy is different from that of the feudal lords of Satsuma Choshu. The Russian majority is exactly what their name suggests. With the support of the majority of the population, the victory has been difficult to turn around.

And with the rise of the Feng army, China's landscape has also undergone unprecedented changes, and Japan must readjust its liliang and change its strategy. If they continue to be entangled with China and Russia on land, and compete with Britain and the United States at sea, the small island nation simply cannot afford this price.

However, there were constant quarrels in the Japanese cabinet, and the faction headed by Yoshiichi Tanaka was resolutely opposed to the withdrawal of troops, believing that the Far East and the three eastern provinces were two pieces of fat, and even if they could not swallow both, they would have to eat one piece, and they were not willing to withdraw from the Far East at all.

After a long quarrel, Zuihou Hara Jing also had a headache, he could only say: "The Far East will withdraw troops later, but the situation in Chita is critical, and the supply line is too long, it is very vulnerable to threats, so let's withdraw to Boli." ”

For this proposal, everyone here finally has nothing to say, but if you want to return it safely, there is still a difficulty, that is, to get the permission of the Feng army, Zhang Tinglan only promised that Japan's supplies could pass through the Trans-Siberian Railway, but without the promise, personnel can also be transferred.

Hara Kei was forced to have no choice but to ask Uchida to issue a statement, in which the Japanese played a small trick, they did not apologize for the invasion of Chinese territory, but claimed that the information was wrong, which caused a misunderstanding between China and Japan, and they apologized for this misunderstanding.

But in any case, the Japanese finally relented, and this news is simply unprecedented for the Chinese. The great powers actually bowed their heads to China, and the fate of being oppressed for many years finally changed, and in an instant, the north and south of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall, were boiling.

Many businesses in Beijing and Tianjin and other places lit firecrackers, as if it was the New Year, and students on the streets waved colorful flags and cheered for the Feng army, and even the Beiyang government had to come forward to reward the Feng army for its responsibility to defend the territory.

President Xu Shichang, who had just succeeded Feng Guozhang, awarded Zhang Tinglan the Order of the Golden Harvest of the First Class with a large ribbon of Baoguang, which is definitely the highest honor, and the Beiyang side also personally sent people to Mukden to convey the president's encouragement.

But their action was too late, just after the Japanese apologized, Zhang Tinglan had already rushed to Hailan Pao overnight, the Japanese had already begun to withdraw their troops from the Far East, the pattern of the Far East changed again, and the Feng army had to face the pressure of the Russians alone, and whether they could recover the lost territory was all in one fell swoop.

After arriving at Hailan Pao, Zhang Tinglan immediately led his men to the northernmost part of Sixty-four Tun, where you can clearly see the scene of the Japanese retreat.

At this time, more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers were retreating eastward one after another, Zhang Tinglan stared at this long flow of people, only to see that the uniforms of these Japanese soldiers were all in tatters, and the heavy weapons were almost discarded.

If you get closer, you can see patches of frostbite on the faces of the soldiers, many of whom are frozen hands and feet, limping when they walk, and sometimes falling.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's come and see the embarrassment of the Japanese, isn't there something tasteless?" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile.

Li Jinglin scratched his head and said: "Dashuai, although it is quite relieving to see them unlucky, but it is indeed a bit of an identity, you go back, we people have seen enough here!" ”

Li Jinglin said this, everyone laughed, Jiang Fangzhen on the side shook his head, and said with a smile: "Seeing the slight knowledge, looking at the situation of these Japanese soldiers, you can get at least two key information." The first is the fighting capability of the Russian majority, and the second is the military potential of the Japanese. ”

Jiang Fangzhen suddenly explained Zhang Tinglan's thoughts thoroughly, with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, Zhang Tinglan has a deep meaning in doing things, and he definitely won't just come to see Haha laugh.

"Mr. Baili, what do you think of these two questions?"

Jiang Fangzhen said: "The majority party in Russia is a difficult opponent, they are not only fanatical, but also well-organized, extremely combative, and a fierce opponent. As for Japan, I think it is difficult for them to continue to sustain themselves, because the island countries have limited resources, and without such a logistics base as China, it is very difficult to fight a big war just by depriving North Korea and Taiwan. As far as these Japanese soldiers in front of them are concerned, it will take at least a year and a half to restore their morale and combat effectiveness. ”

Jiang Fangzhen's judgment was in line with Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, and he said with a smile: "When the Japanese withdraw, we will have to fight against Russia alone, everyone will muster up their strength and get back the lost land first!" ”

The target was locked on the Russians, Zhang Tinglan also increased the intensity of the deployment of troops, and issued three orders in a row, Ding Chao's department in Shanhaiguan, Wan Fulin's department in Rehe, plus Jiang Dengxuan in Suifenhe, a total of more than 50,000 people, all transferred north, and the Feng army on the entire border line has concentrated more than 150,000 people.

Just when the Feng army was mobilizing troops, two major events happened in the Far East again, the first was the assassination of Japanese Prime Minister Hara Kei, just three days before Hara Kei's assassination, he passed the decision to withdraw troops in the cabinet with great difficulty, and the result completely angered the conservative Shili in Japan, and the prime minister died tragically at the train station.

In the original history, Yuan Jing was also assassinated, but now it is just a little earlier, Zhang Tinglan is not surprised, it stands to reason that Yuan Jing is still a relatively sensible Japanese prime minister. If you change the other prime ministers, they are all lackeys of the faction, reckless men bent on expansion, and it may be easier to deal with such people.

On the same day that Yuan Kei was assassinated, important news also came out from the Russian side, and the Russian majority party decided to establish the Far Eastern Republic with Chita as the capital as a buffer zone between China and Japan. The Russians are not unscrupulous, and the excuse for countries to interfere in Russia is that they export radical ideas to the outside world and affect the interests of all countries. Now that a buffer zone has been established, countries can no longer stay in the Far East.

This news is more interesting to Zhang Tinglan than the assassination of Yuan Jing, the so-called Far Eastern Republic, although it claims to be a bourgeois republic, but in essence it is just a puppet regime.

"This is just a small trick of the Russians, who, with their enthusiasm for the land, absolutely do not want to lose the land of the Far East. They are doing this just so that the countries can withdraw their troops as soon as possible, and then they will annex the Far Eastern Republics, and we will expose their tricks! ”

Zhang Tinglan said to everyone: "With the buffer zone, the great powers have no excuse to stay, but we are different, Russia is still occupying China's territory, and we demand that the Beiyang government immediately announce that it will abolish all unequal treaties related to the Outer Northeast Territory such as the Treaty of Aihui and the Treaty of Beijing, and return them to their homeland!"
