After years of training, Zhang Tinglan has long understood the realm of "truth is false when fake is true", and he will never admit that there is such a thing as gold.

"I believe that all this is due to false information, and it would be naïve to say that anyone in our time dreams of obtaining the legendary treasure. The entry of the Feng army into Russian territory is a very normal military operation in order to eliminate a Russian army that is potentially hostile to us. ”

"No, the Tsar's gold is not a legend, but something real!" This time it was Powers who spoke, he was a special representative sent by the British, and with the halo of the British Empire, he was still full of arrogance. But Zhang Tinglan has not taken him seriously for a long time, the First World War has passed, the down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and the British are now embarrassed to the extreme, owing the Americans a huge amount of money, and dragging their tired bodies to carry out an arms race, no wonder they are so obsessed with gold.

Powers said: "The Empire already has definite information, and Kolchak has carried a shipment of gold, which has been shipped to the Far East, and now it is in the hands of the Feng army. Inspector Zhang, I would like to remind you that Kolchak owes Britain a huge amount of arms money, which must be repaid, so this gold does not belong to the Feng army, and you must hand it over unconditionally! ”

Compared with shamelessness, the Japanese were inferior to the British Enlightenment teacher, who sold Kolchak good arms, but they were all in cash, and they were extorted at two or three times the price. Later, in a fit of rage, Kolchak accepted Fengjun's proposal and bought arms from Fengjun instead.

As a result, the British are unashamed to say that Kolchak owes them arms money, and the British Empire is so big that it is on the skin.

"Since you say that Kolchak has gold, then you might as well bring Mr. Kolchak over and see what evidence he has."

"You?" Bowers was immediately choked by this sentence. Everyone wanted to get gold, and Kolchak became the biggest stumbling block, and after the Czech legions caught him, they gave it to the majority, and now most of them have been executed, where can they be found.

Bowers rolled his eyes, and then said: "Inspector Zhang, you are using strong words, I think it is necessary to set up an investigation team, and the powers must join forces to investigate." Find out what happened to the gold. ”

"Any enemy who invades China's territory will be dealt a merciless blow, and the Feng army will definitely not let anyone else prey on the pretext of violating China's sovereignty. That's wishful thinking! ”

The Bong army had just defeated the Japanese, carrying the majesty of victory. Zhang Tinglan will not be frightened by loud words. directly and mercilessly vetoed Powers' proposal.

"Zhang, the United States does not have the slightest idea of violating China's sovereignty!" Becker's words are also equivalent to indirectly denying Powers's proposal, and he said with a smile: "The gold problem should be investigated, but I don't think it's the main problem at hand." As a common ally against the majority, we should harmonize. To prevent military conflicts, especially between China and Japan, maintaining peace and cooperation is of paramount importance. ”

The United States became the richest man in World War I, and coveted that bit of gold. But it has not yet reached the point where they cannot see Mount Tai, and they prefer to maintain the balance of the Far East. In the name of dealing with the majority party, China and Japan were brought under the command of the United States.

Becker mentioned the Japanese, the Japanese consul general on the side, Shigeru Yoshida, had a gloomy face, his predecessor was Akajiri Masaosuke, and dealt with Fengjun several times, Akajiri Massuke did not take advantage, and was made disgraced, Zuihou The Japanese government ended his term of office early and replaced him with Yoshida Shigeru.

Yoshida Shigeru is also famous in later generations, an important prime minister of post-war Japan, laid the foundation for economic take-off, but this guy is actually a fish that slipped through the net, in the first half of his life, actively intervened in the Chinese civil war, looking for agents everywhere, and the evil deeds are too numerous to mention, Zuihou actually escaped the trial, and climbed to the high position of prime minister, which is really a historical irony.

At this time, Yoshida Shigeru became a diplomat not long ago, it was the most rampant time, he stared at Zhang Tinglan arrogantly, and then said loudly: "If you want to cooperate between the empire and the Feng army, you must agree to two prerequisites, the first is to hand over the gold to the empire, and the second is to admit the mistake of attacking the imperial soldiers and compensate the empire for its losses." Other than that, the Empire will never agree to any peaceful offer. ”

Zhang Tinglan glanced at the representatives of the United States, Britain and France, and then said with a smile: "Let me repeat, Fengjun does not have gold at all, and naturally there is no question of handing it over to Japan. But we might as well make a hypothesis, if there is gold, to whom? ”

"Of course, the first thing is to compensate for the arms and materials, and the British Empire government must not suffer losses." Powers also said loudly.

Locke, the representative of France, also said: "Yes, Kolchak also defaulted on a huge loan to France, which must be dealt with first. ”

As soon as Yoshida Shigeru heard the opinions of Britain and France, he immediately tilted his nose, these two countries are too shameless, and they don't even want to be cheeky for gold.

"The gold was taken by the Feng army and robbed the empire, and it has nothing to do with Britain and France, and as for the issue of arms funds, it can be postponed."

Powers shook his head and said, "Mr. Yoshida Shigeru, you said that the gold belongs to Japan, do you have any evidence, the original owner of this gold is the Russian government, did you get it from the Russians?" ”

"The Russian tsarist government has been overthrown, gold is ownerless, whoever gets it is whoever, and the imperial army is ......" Yoshida Shigeru was about to continue, suddenly feeling bad and hurriedly shut up.

Zhang Tinglan hahadaxiao said: "Mr. Yoshida's meaning is really interesting, those who are virtuous live in it, and those who are not virtuous are lost. According to what you said, before you could get the gold, Fengjun had already got it, and you didn't even touch it, so how can you say that it's yours? ”

Britain, France, and Japan dog-eat-dog, but they brushed off the responsibility of the Feng army, Yoshida Shigeru's face turned red, and the green tendons on his head collapsed, and he said loudly: "The imperial government has 100,000 troops stationed in the Far East, this is the confidence of the empire, and the gold must be handed over to the imperial government, otherwise the empire can only take tough measures to get back the gold that belongs to the empire!" ”

Becker frowned, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Yoshida, the United States side insists on resolving the problem peacefully, and there should be no military conflict between China and Japan. ”

Powers was also quite dissatisfied with Japan's attitude, these little men were too greedy, they wanted to eat alone, and they didn't even give the British Empire's share, how could he agree, so he also said: "The British Empire is also unwilling to see the use of violence to solve the problem, and both sides must consider their own attitudes." ”

The representatives of these countries sat together like dogs, but when it came to practical interests, they were like dogs, biting each other. They are in chaos, which is also a good thing for the Feng army.

Zhang Tinglan said: "Our side is not clear about the so-called gold issue at all, if anyone wants to use such a trumped-up thing as a pretext for invading the Feng army, we will definitely take decisive military action to defend China's sacred territory and never back down!" ”

At this point, there was really no need to continue, everyone had their own agendas, and there was no common language at all, so they could only leave in a hurry.

After these guys left, Zhang Tinglan immediately gathered his civil and military officers together, informed everyone of the situation, and solicited everyone's opinions, Yang Yuting took the lead and said: "The Japanese are arrogant and unreasonable, and they can only be dealt with with by force, and they must not retreat, I suggest adjusting the deployment of the army and aiming the spearhead at the Siberian Railway." The current troop situation is favorable to our side, most of the Japanese troops are in the Far East, and domestic forces still need to be mobilized, and once the war starts, the Feng army must use the fastest speed to eat the Japanese troops in the Far East, and then concentrate all their efforts to resist the threat that appears from Korea and the sea. ”

Japan's current standing army is less than 300,000, and the Siberian army accounts for one-third, and they are all the most elite Liliang, once all of them are wiped out, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Japan, and it can win the first opportunity for the Feng army.

"Whether we like it or not, the Japanese have thrown out the threat of war, and we cannot compromise." Zhang Tinglan said solemnly: "We must fight for peace with strong actions, instead of bending the knee and begging, the whole army must be ready for battle, and the second and fourth divisions of the border guards will be transferred to the direction of Boli, make an offensive posture, and cut off the contact with the Japanese army in the Far East at any time." ”

Japan's national strength was far stronger than that of the Feng army, but they were too greedy, and they spread thousands of kilometers in Siberia, spreading armies, which turned over the taboo of scattered Liliang. And they are in a foreign land, full of partisans of the Russian majority, everywhere there are liliang who oppose them, and it is simply wishful thinking to want to quickly withdraw.

What Zhang Tinglan feared most was that the Japanese would ignore the losses of these soldiers and carry out a general mobilization and fight a full-scale war with the Feng army. Once it reaches that point, it is the time to really compete for national strength, and the Feng army is still too inferior to Japan, and the odds of victory are really not great. However, fortunately, the Japanese are ambitious, and they are still competing for hegemony in the Asia-Pacific region with the United States and Britain, and they are not concentrating on dealing with China, which gives the Feng army an opportunity to take advantage of.

"In addition to the regular forces, special operations teams and air forces are to be dispatched to enter Russian territory, sabotage the Trans-Siberian Railway, and delay the movement of the Japanese army. Three additional mixed brigades were deployed along the Yalu River to prepare for defense, and an air force brigade was stationed in Fengcheng to threaten the Yalu River Bridge. In short, we need to be tough enough to make the Japanese understand that if war breaks out, their forces in the Far East will fall apart. ”

Jiang Dengxuan also said: "The arrangement of the marshal is wise, to make the Japanese retreat in the face of difficulties, if they don't retreat, we will fight until they retreat!" ”

Immediately after the meeting, the Mukden Times published an article entitled "If you want to fight, then you will fight!" The comment ignited this fire in the Far East at once! (To be continued......)
