Chapter 450: Japanese Interference
The purpose of the treaty that Akajiri Shosuke took out was very simple, as long as this thing was signed, the entire three eastern provinces would become the pockets of the Japanese, and the construction results of the past few years had been swallowed by the Japanese.
Guo Songling watched it several times, and he really knew too well the powerful relationship between them, he really wanted to cooperate with the Japanese, rely on the Japanese shili, and help him fight against Zhang Tinglan, but Guo Songling was not willing to really be a slave to the Japanese.
It's okay to take some economic benefits, and it's no problem to occupy some markets, but once you give everything to the Japanese, you can't even be the emperor, and you will directly become a slave of the Japanese, the most shameful traitor and traitor!
For the name of traitor, Guo Songling doesn't want to bear it, in fact, Guo Songling's heart is a very proud person, he can't look down on Zhang Zuolin, who was born recklessly, and he also doesn't care much about Zhang Tinglan, they are just lucky, if they give themselves a chance, they will definitely be able to surpass them, govern the three eastern provinces better, and even change the fate of the whole country.
Guo Songling also has great ambitions, otherwise Zhang Xueliang would not respect him so much, but in the face of these conditions, Guo Songling's heart was completely cold, he had just occupied Fengtian, and he was going to sign this kind of traitorous treaty, what ambition was there.
"Mr. Consul General, this treaty is too harsh, let's change it, otherwise Guo really won't dare to sign it."
Akajiri Massuke sneered: "Guo San, you are a smart person, you should know what it means that the situation is stronger than people." With your liliang, even Fengtian can't control it, and Zhang Tinglan left a group of students and workers to make you scramble. Without the support of the Empire, how would you fight him? ”
Akajiri Massuke stood up from his chair as if a master was looking at a slave. Walking past Guo Songling's side, he patted him on the shoulder very arrogantly, and said contemptuously: "Guo Sang, after signing the treaty, the empire can immediately send troops to help you fight." You remember that if you cooperate with the Empire, you will get everything, and if you do not cooperate with the Empire, you will only have a dead end, life or death. The choice is yours! ”
After Akajiri Massuke finished speaking, he looked at Guo Songling with confidence, and at this time, Yu Wendian, who was on the side, jumped out and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Consul General is wise, what he said is too reasonable." Commander-in-Chief Guo, who knows the times is Junjie. The old saying says that improvisation is a sage. We're at this point. Who else can you rely on but the Great Japanese Empire? Those who have become great things since ancient times are not informal. You can't learn from those confused scholars, and at the critical moment, you have to be ruthless. ”
"That's right, what Mr. Yu said is so right." Xu Youfang said with a smile: "Don't care if you sell the country or not." As long as we can be in power and live well, we don't care if everyone else dies. Actually, I thought about it too. It is not necessarily bad to let the Japanese rule China directly, at that time we are all people from the Great Japanese Empire, we are all Orientals, and we no longer have to be looked down upon. ”
These two guys kept persuading Guo Songling, and Guo Songling heard it in his ears, and his head was completely messed up, is this what he wants, in order to fight for power and profit, he has completely become a traitor who bends his knees and betrays the country?
He thought of the three words in the vault again: regret late! That is definitely something that Zhang Tinglan deliberately left for himself, it is true, at this time, it is really too late to regret it, can he only be a traitor!
Guo Songling looked at the fateful treaty, his face showed a look of painful struggle, he barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Akajiri, isn't there any room for negotiation?" ”
"Guo Sang, negotiation is about bargaining chips, what bargaining chips do you have to negotiate with me?"
Guo Songling suddenly had nothing to say, indeed he really didn't have anything in his hands! He looked at Yu Wendian and Xu Youfang, the two servants who were full of slaves, his facial features began to distort, if he signed this treaty, he would one day become such a hardcore traitor and become his most despicable group of people.
Guo Songling grabbed the text of the treaty in his hand suddenly, and with the force of his hands, he tore it apart in an instant, and pieces of white paper fell to the ground.
"Guo Songling, what do you want to do?"
Yu Wendian shouted loudly, Guo Songling glanced at him contemptuously, and sneered: "Even if Guo is inevitably defeated and will inevitably throw his head here, but I will not sign this kind of traitorous treaty, I am a dignified seven-foot man, I can't grovel and be a slave to the Japanese!" ”
Speaking of this, Guo Songling glanced at Akajiri Massuke, and said with a sneer: "Guo Mou only knew the bloody nature of the first handsome at this time, let me tell you, in this fertile land of the three eastern provinces, there has never been a shortage of strong men who died generously, even if the first handsome is killed by you, there will be more people who will stand up, don't want to occupy this land!" ”
After Guo Songling finished speaking, he didn't look back, turned around and left the conference room, Akajiri Massuke's face had become iron-blue, he never thought that Guo Songling would play such a hand, at this time, he was unwilling to sign this treaty, did he want to die?
"Mr. Akajiri, Guo Songling doesn't know whether he lives or dies, he is unwilling to cooperate with the Japanese, the villain is willing to sign, and I am willing to serve the Japanese Empire!" Yu Wendian knelt down in front of Akajiri Massuke as he spoke.
"The villain is loyal, towards the Japanese Empire, there is no second heart!"
Xu Youfang originally had the intention to express his position, but he hadn't done it like Yu Wendian yet, so he was half a step late, so he had to kneel behind Yu Wendian, and said: "I am also willing to be loyal to the Great Japanese Empire, you give me a chance." ”
Akajiri Massuke glanced at these two guys, and snorted coldly in his nose: "You two waste, what's the use, fuck me off!" ”
Akajiri Massuke kicked Yu Wendian in the face, kicking him directly to spurt blood from his mouth and nose, embarrassed, these two guys were really angry when they saw it, and they all ran out with rolling and crawling.
Just when Akajiri Massuke was angry, suddenly a subordinate ran over in a hurry and sent a telegram to him.
The telegram clearly stated that Zhang Tinglan had eliminated Kan Chaoxi's rebels, and the large army was preparing to drive back to Mukden. Just after reading the news, information came from North Manchurian that the border guards had defeated the rebels. Zhang Zuoxiang sent Sun Anhu to lead the army south, and the target was also Mukden.
Although the Japanese did not allow the Feng army to use the South Manchurian Railway, it could only block it for a while, and the Feng army would definitely make a detour to the south, and it can be said that the two armies would soon appear in Mukden, and at that time, Guo Songling would no longer be able to hold on.
The Japanese didn't expect these rebellions to replace Zhang Tinglan, but they thought that the rebels would hold on, preferably for a month or two, and the debate in Japan would be over. And then under the guise of protecting overseas Chinese. In the name of maintaining local stability, the Japanese will be able to send troops, who knows that the speed of the Feng army's counterinsurgency is far beyond imagination, within three to five days. The two rebels were defeated one after another, and Guo Songling was in danger.
Akajiri is weighing it up. Hurriedly sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army. Let them decide what to do with the matter in front of them! In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let the Kwantung Army go it alone.
The Japanese have always had a tradition of going down to the kne, and in their opinion, this is not a big rebellion, but a positive performance, which deserves to be commended. Many of the events in history were caused by the bottom of Japan. And then kidnapping the entire country of Japan, and throwing it in.
A country does not have an overall strategy, and it is left to the people below. This is the sorrow of Japan. But at this time, Akajiri Massuke obviously doesn't see it that way, and he will not be affected by the foreign monarch's life! If the bureaucracy in Tokyo had waited for a clue, the Feng army would have stabilized long ago.
And Akajiri Massuke also knows that Zhang Tinglan is younger, more courageous, and more powerful than Zhang Zuolin, and the danger is ten times greater than Zhang Zuolin's to let him take charge of the three eastern provinces.
Now is the only chance, the Japanese can only go into battle shirtless and directly send troops to deal with Zhang Tinglan. His telegram reached the Kwantung Army, whose current commander was Lieutenant General Kawai Cao, a cadet of the eighth class of the Japanese Army University, and Yoshiichi Tanaka was his classmate.
He Hecao is also an active invading faction, after receiving the telegram, he attaches great importance to it, since the Feng army was in chaos, he has been preparing for war, and now after getting the news, he can no longer sit still, and he must not let the Feng army stabilize.
He immediately mobilized a brigade of the Kwantung Army, got on the train, and went straight to Mukden, the Japanese were most accustomed to carrying out surprise attacks, and the headquarters did not announce the news until the Kwantung Army had already been dispatched.
They claimed that in order to deal with the turmoil in Mukden and to ensure Japan's interests in China and the safety of its overseas Chinese, the Japanese Kwantung Army had decided to send troops to maintain public order.
It was all high-sounding words, but behind these has revealed a very terrible news, that is, the Japanese have officially intervened in the civil war of the Feng army, this rebellion has gone too far, and the Japanese have also taken the opportunity to send troops!
Adding fuel to the fire was Japan's actions, which made the already chaotic and confusing situation even more out of control and in a completely unpredictable direction.
The whole of China was shaken again, and people of insight stood up and called on the Duan government to take effective measures to avoid the fall of the three eastern provinces and resolutely oppose the Japanese sending troops. However, it is a pity that the Beiyang government is all silent, as if it does not know about this matter.
Everyone sweated for the Feng army, I don't know if I can survive this difficulty, many people have no confidence in the Feng army, they have just experienced a rebellion, the internal friction is serious, where can they resist the Japanese, the Feng army is really at the time of life and death, it depends on how many national interests zuihou has sold!
At this time, Liaoyang suddenly entered a state of martial law, and a large number of Feng troops poured into Liaoyang City, not only controlling the city defense, but also moving heavy artillery in, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the railway station. The Japanese garrison in charge of the South Manchurian Railway was all stupid, they could never have imagined that there would be a huge Fengtian army hiding in Liaoyang, you must know that Liaoyang and Fengtian are not far away, why didn't these troops go to Fengtian to deal with the rebels, but concentrate on waiting here?
It was Jiang Dengxuan who was in charge of commanding this army, and he brought with him the most important elite soldiers in Fengtian, a total of more than 13,000 people.
When facing the crisis situation on all sides, Jiang Dengxuan also actively asked for battle, who knew that Zhang Tinglan did not give him this opportunity at all, but instead handed over the main force to him, and let him just garrison Liaoyang and not move.
Zhang Tinglan has repeatedly explained, no matter what happens, even if Fengtian is lost, don't leave Liaoyang, Jiang Dengxuan didn't quite understand Zhang Tinglan's plan at first, but now, Japan dispatched the Kwantung Army, Jiang Dengxuan was finally completely impressed, if it weren't for Zhang Tinglan's advance preparations, I was afraid that he would really be caught off guard!
"Commander-in-Chief Zhang only brought a few thousand men and horses to quell the rebellion, but left everyone in Liaoyang, the purpose is very simple, that is, let us block the Japanese, as long as there are three inches of qi, we can't let the Japanese enter Fengtian."
The officers present had long since lost their resentment and incomprehension in their hearts, and they straightened their chests one by one.
"We will never let down the trust of the commander-in-chief, obey the arrangement of the commander-in-chief, and resolutely fight Japan to the end!"
"Okay, everyone follow jihua, prepare for battle, aim all the guns at the railway, as long as the Japanese military trains dare to drive through Liaoyang, they will be bombed into scum for me!" (To be continued......)
