Chapter 72 Target Taiwan

At Chang'an International Airport, a military transport plane painted with a blue sky and white sun flag slowly landed.

The delegation from the National Government arrived at the capital of the Tang Empire. They will negotiate with the Tang Empire on behalf of the National Government and conduct a second round of negotiations on the issuance of fiat currencies and monetary reform of the National Government. Once an agreement is reached, the Tang Empire will provide the National Government with a reserve of 200 million yuan for the National Government to support the National Government in carrying out currency reform and ensure the smooth issuance and circulation of fiat currencies. However, the cost is also not small. The National Government deposited 150 million ounces of silver into the Datang Bank as collateral, and the fiat currency will also be included in the Tangyuan system. Tangyuan naturally entered China with duty-free entry into China and became a legal foreign currency.

This contains huge benefits. Previously, Britain, the United States and Japan fought fiercely, and they all wanted to take over the big cake of Chinese legal currency. In the end, they all returned in a desperate situation and fell into other families, making the Tang Empire pick up the cheaper.

Of course, there is no real advantage in this world. All of this is due to Zhang Meng's secret operation, and his strength can get everything.

Until the last moment, neither the British, American and Japanese forces would be willing to accept it. The agents of the Three Kingdoms also followed closely and secretly sneaked into the Tang Dynasty, preparing to undermine the signing of a cooperation agreement between Tang and China.

All this cannot be hidden from the Tang Empire's Homeland Security Bureau. Since the moment the agents of the Tang and the United States and Britain sneaked into the Tang Dynasty, their every move has been monitored. However, the Tang Dynasty seems to have other arrangements and does not intend to stop their destructive actions.

Yoshiko Kawashima is one of them. She is from the Japanese special high school class. She thought she could sneak into the Tang Dynasty seamlessly, but she even came to Chang'an as a royal princess of the Qing Dynasty. She thought that she could get close to Tang people in this way, but she didn't know that her special high school class identity had long been known by the Tang intelligence agencies, and even because Zhang Meng was particularly concerned about her. The Tang Dynasty's Land Security Bureau focused on "taking care of her".

After entering the Tang Dynasty, Yoshiko Kawashima made comprehensive arrangements immediately and prepared to prevent officials from meeting with officials of the Tang Dynasty. Since the Tang Empire was extremely strict in the investigation of incoming personnel and it was difficult to bring in weapons, Yoshiko Kawashima and his group had to contact the local forces of the Tang Dynasty and planned to buy some weapons.

Unexpectedly, Yoshiko Kawashima easily reached an agreement with a Tonga native. She bought a batch of guns and ammunition from him, even grenades and explosives.

Yoshiko Kawashima came to the Tang Dynasty for the first time and knew little about this new country. She had no doubts and immediately deployed an action.

At the same time, the agents from Britain and the United States were also doing the same thing, and they also bought the weapons and explosives they needed one after another.

The three forces did not want to see the cooperation between Tang and China. Therefore, they almost all lie on the way, waiting to ambush the convoy of the National Government.

However, what they never expected was that when the convoy with the blue sky and white sun flag passed by, some of them suddenly felt a dizzy turn. At some point, a few things that looked like grenades slowly rolled to their side. The thing was silently releasing white gas, which made them all faint. Some others were cautious after all, so they covered their mouths and noses as soon as possible. However, flash bombs flew in soon, and in an instant, their eyes were covered in white. By the time they recovered, the Datang agents had already rushed to them.

In less than ten seconds, all these well-trained agents from Britain, the United States, Japan and the United States were captured. They were finally defeated because they did not understand the power of the Datang agents in advance, but it was too late to regret it.

However, what is puzzling is that the group of Datang agents responsible for attacking Yoshiko Kawashima deliberately slowed down half a beat until several Japanese threw grenades to blow up several cars from the National Government and shot each other, the Datang agents took action to arrest Yoshiko Kawashima and his group.

A sudden explosion and gunfight occurred on a peaceful and prosperous street, which really scared the nearby Tang people and foreign tourists. Fortunately, except for five or six people killed or injured in the National Government's convoy, the civilians were not injured.

This incident immediately alarmed the senior officials of the Tang Empire and the National Government, and soon the whole world knew about it. Because the Tang Empire seemed to be able to exaggerate the incident, Zhang Meng, the Supreme Commander of the Tang Empire, issued a wanted order for the imperial list to arrest the murderer and severely punish the main envoy behind the scenes.

In fact, the agents of the British, American and Japanese countries were arrested when the incident broke out, but the Tang Empire deliberately conducted a high-profile investigation, ostensibly giving an explanation to the National Government. After all, such a thing happened in the capital of the Tang Empire, and the Tang Empire itself lost its face. In fact, this was just a plan discussed by Zhang Meng and Tan Jincheng, the purpose of which was to find an excuse to start a war with Japan and to shock the United Kingdom and the United States.

Sure enough, Britain, the United States and Japan were all very nervous. They understood that the assassination of the negotiator of the National Government was probably done by their agents, but they didn't dare to make a statement. Especially after losing contact with their respective agents, the three countries were worried that the incident would be exposed.

A few days later, the Tang Empire publicly announced that the investigation results showed that it was done by the Japanese special high school course, and issued a solemn protest against Japan and asked Japan to respond within 24 hours, otherwise the consequences would be borne by themselves.

The Japanese government obviously did not recognize it. France, as a ally of Japan, immediately stood up and spoke, demanding that the Tang Empire not slander people, and at the same time contacted the two traditional allies of Britain and the United States to protest the Tang Dynasty together.

Britain and the United States originally wanted to say something, but they were not happy about the "shameless behavior" of the Tang Empire in some fields caused them to suffer heavy losses. However, soon both countries received secret notes from the Tang Dynasty. Photos of all the secret agents from Britain and the United States being captured appeared on the desks of Hoover and Stanley.

Zhang Meng did not intend to break up with them, indicating that this time it was only targeted at Japan, but Britain and the United States needed to pay a price, that is, the Tang Dynasty would teach Japan a lesson. On this issue, Britain and the United States must stand on the side of the Tang Empire and prevent France from interfering.

Zhang Meng's target had already targeted Taiwan. He knew very well that his power at this time would be unrealistic to completely destroy Japan, and that would force France to join the war without any consequences. Therefore, Zhang Meng just wanted to cut off the Japanese with one knife, and the first thing was to get Taiwan back.

Taiwan is originally Chinese territory, and this time, the National Government was killed. This is the result. Once the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Taiwan, it would stand on the moral high ground. If Britain and the United States helped to reflect on it, France would carefully consider whether it would join the war because of the Taiwan issue.

Stanley and Hoover respectively sent representatives to contact Zhang Meng. After learning that Zhang Meng only seized the guarantee that Taiwan would not invade Japan, the two of them were willing to jointly suppress France and prevent them from participating in the war. In exchange, Zhang Meng had to release the "tourists" of Britain and the United States in the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Meng reached a consensus with Stanley and Hoover. The origins of Britain and the United States also hope that Tang Ri would go to war again. They wanted to see how powerful the military strength of the Tang Empire was. They were very eager to know that the Chiyou-class super battleship built by the Tang Empire turned into a super aircraft carrier. What was hidden in it?

Tang and Ri went to war again, which was actually an opportunity for Britain and the United States. On the one hand, they could do arms and strategic materials business. On the other hand, the war between the Tang and Japan would definitely greatly weaken the strength of both sides. Although the Tang Empire had won a battle before, it was to take advantage of Japan's unpreparedness. Now Japan is prepared, and the outcome of the war is still unknown. If the Tang Empire suffered a heavy blow, then Britain and the United States would not mind sharpening their swords and cutting down the Tang Dynasty and snatching back the huge amount of gold and banknotes that Zhang Meng had previously stolen. Every time they thought of this, Britain and the United States gritted their teeth. It can be seen how much they hated Zhang Meng and wanted the Tang Dynasty to fall into the abyss of war, so they were naturally happy to match the Tang Dynasty to go to war with Japan again.

Of course, there is no trust between countries. Although Britain and the United States expressed their suppression of France's participation in the war, it was really important to rule out that Britain and the United States encouraged France to participate in the war. After all, weakening the Tang Dynasty was their real purpose.

It’s not that Zhang Meng didn’t know that Britain and the United States agreed to the real purpose of his request so easily. He really didn’t want France to join the war early because it meant that Germany needed to implement the Tang-German Alliance Treaty to participate in the war. In that case, World War II would inevitably break out. But the problem is that Germany and Italy were not prepared, so Zhang Meng had to make a stopgap solution to fight Taiwan first, which was not a pain for Japan. France could not easily go to war with the Tang Dynasty because of a Japanese colony. After all, France’s focus was not on the Pacific Ocean but on Germany and Italy in Europe. Germany and Italy are also alliances. For France, the local threat was great, so Zhang Meng chose to fight Taiwan, a plan that could only be considered a local war, and put the situation in his own hands and everything was in a controllable state.

In the end, the Tang Empire fought against Japan with the National Government. The Tang Empire was responsible for attacking Taiwan under the banner of helping the National Government recover lost territory, while the National Government sent troops to recover the Northeast.

However, in fact, in the face of domestic anti-Japanese public opinion, the National Government had to make such a decision, and did not want to offend the creditor of the Tang Empire, while Chiang Kai-shek's main force was suppressing the Communist Party. The National Government's pro-Japanese faction secretly reached an agreement with Japan, but in fact, ** did not really go to the Northeast to participate in the war.

Obviously, the Japanese side knew Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts too much, so the Japanese cabinet was not afraid of the alliance between the Tang Empire and the National Government. But what disappointed Saito Mi was that France did not express whether to participate in the war, which was obviously a huge pressure from Britain, the United States, Germany and Italy. However, Germany and Italy did not declare war on Japan. Obviously, Germany and Italy did not dare to take risks easily because of their lack of preparation. Neither the Tang Empire nor the Japanese Empire wanted to participate in the war, so the problem returned to the level of the Tang and Japan war.
