Chapter 265 Combination of fi

Just as Sun Yat-sen and his friends were busy going to the media to announce the "truth", a group of "Japanese officers" wearing *** uniforms also came to the Japanese consulate in Nanjing.

These officers were naturally the "retired" officers supported by the Japanese when **** returned to the mainland. After coming to China, these "retired" Japanese officers have been using weapons supported by Japan to train Sun Yat-sen's army, and now it has been a first-hand effect.

only…

"Mr. Consul, what does it mean in China now?"

Sitting in front of Yoshiyama, the Japanese Consul in Nanjing, the representative of the Nanjing Japanese Officer Corps, Chaeyama Meng asked without hesitation.

The news of the declaration of war has reached their ears through the media. Now that Shiroyama and others are coming here, they just want to ask what measures will Japanese political affairs take?

You should know that although the ********** troops have achieved considerable results after more than three months of training. However, after understanding the KMT army through the Black Dragon Association, Takayama Meng and other Japanese officers had to admit that the current *** troops are not opponents of the KMT army at all, and even the domestic standing divisions have come, and they may not be able to win in front of the KMT army. In order to cultivate a good atmosphere of cooperation, the Japanese political team sent more rationally. In addition, at this time, the Japanese army's power was not as strong as later generations, nor as "crazy" as later generations. Therefore, after studying the strength of the KMT army, these Japanese officers sent to China did not think that domestic troops could gain advantage in front of this group of Chinese.

Of course, if the young and strong madmen sent this time, I'm afraid the conclusions drawn would be completely different. In fact, Japanese political fu was also very troubled when selecting officers. It was not that Japan lacked officers, but that it could be expanded to 600,000 in Japan during the war. What Japan lacked today is officers who could analyze things rationally and not have fanatical national sentiments. Such officers are now quite rare in Japan. On the contrary, the kind of soldiers who can do anything with a hot head are not only caught a lot, but also have more and more attitudes...

Cheng Shanmeng and his companions belong to this kind of officer, so they are very clear that if they use *******'s existing strength to fight against the Guoshe Army, if they rely solely on themselves, they will not even have a glimmer of hope.

so…

Chengshan is coming...

But after hearing Chengshan Meng’s question, Xiaoshan Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"It only took a few hours for the National People's Army to declare war on the *******. It's hard to say whether the country knows this news. What do you think?"

In fact, Xiao Shanyong still admires people like Chengshanmeng, because Chengshanmeng is not like the young and strong people in China, only passionate and mindless, and also hostile to politics...

It is precisely because of this that Yoshiyama would speak to Shiroyama in this gentle tone. If it were those young and strong people, I'm afraid that Koshiyama would have only one sentence.

“Nothing to be told.”

Of course, Cheng Shanmeng knew that it was only 3 or 4 hours before the declaration of war was declared. Even if the news was received in China, it was probably just now that the news was received. It was impossible for him to come up with any unified opinions so quickly. However, Cheng Shanmeng's mission was to help ******* train troops to resist the Guoshe Army. Now that the training has just achieved results, the Guoshe Army's people have come over...

What should they do with their mission?

Yoshi Koyama also knew why Monkey King was worried. After all, rationalists do not mean pro-China. In Japan, Japanese people like Miyazaki Taotian are still rare. Among the tens of millions of Japanese, the number of such people is even rarer than that of giant pandas.

So in the end, Xiao Shanyong just walked to Cheng Shanmeng's side and patted his shoulder.

"As the consul in Nanjing, I have many tasks, one of which is to pay attention to the execution of your tasks." Xiao Shanyong glanced at Cheng Shanmeng and his companions. "Don't worry, personally, your achievements are all excellent..."

After sending Chengshanmeng and others out of the consulate, a member of the consulate walked to Xiaoshanyong.

"Sir, this is an invitation from the British Consulate."

"Invitation?"

Xiaoshanyong was stunned, but he still quickly reflected on it.

"It's to solve the problem of declaring war."

As he said that, Xiaoshanyong opened the invitation letter, which only stated that he would invite consulates from various countries to attend the banquet.

But if you don’t invite it early or late, you don’t invite it later? You just want to invite it after the Kuomintang and the Social Army declared war to *******. This itself represents a lot of meaning.

Yokoyama knew this very well, but he would still reach it soon.

"Since it was the invitation of Consul White, I'll go there..."

Anyway, in Xiaoshanyong's opinion, such a banquet cannot reach any meaningful agreement, because only the adults of the Consulate General and the Embassy can reach a meaningful agreement. He? Like others, he is just a small Nanjing consul...

However, just as Yoo Yama was about to set off for the British Consulate to attend the banquet, the consulate counselor said softly.

"Xiaoshanjun, do you think that this Chinese named Yan Guang... is developing a little too fast?"

When Xiaoyama frowned when he heard the consulate counselor say this.

Because just like what he said, the development of the national and social military forces is too fast, which is already a consensus reached by various countries. Of course, some people are happy and some are worried about this. For example, Germany is the happiest one, because they have the least interests in China and have the best relationship with Yan Guang. The same is true for Americans, because Americans hope that the situation in China can stabilize, which will make it easier for them to do business.

As for the British and other great powers, they were mixed, but the most troublesome one was the Japanese.

Generally speaking, officials who manage foreign officials are not considered core figures in various countries, and ordinary consuls like Xiaoshanyong are not even more powerful people. However, generally speaking, foreign officials are well-informed people, and Xiaoshanyong is also a slightly qualified foreign official, so he knows some things.

For example, according to the agreement reached by the Allies, the Jiaozhou Bay colony currently owned by the Germans had been deducted in advance by Britain, France and other countries before the war, and was prepared to be rewarded for the Japanese————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

During the Yuan Shikai period, he was still confident in eating the Japanese in Jiaozhou Bay, but it was not sufficient. Because although the strength of Beiyang at that time was weaker than that of Japan, the army was not at a complete disadvantage except for the navy...

And the current national and social army...

"Are Qinghai-class destroyer?"

Thinking of the information provided by the Black Dragon Association, Xiaoshan Yong shook his head.

Although China has been developing for ten years and cannot surpass Japan in the navy, it is not a good thing for Japan to have such a leader who attaches importance to the navy...

Soon, Xiaoshanyong took a car to the British consulate, but when he first arrived at the consulate, he found that Sun Yat-sen and his party seemed to have just come out of the consulate.

Seeing Sun Yat-sen and others coming out of the consulate, Xiao Shanyong hurriedly asked the driver to park the car aside so that Sun Yat-sen and the others would not find him.

After the disappointed Sun Yat-sen and others left, Xiao Shanyong asked the driver to drive the car to the big mn in the British Consulate.

Yoshi Koyama was quite clear about the purpose of Sun Yat-sen and others. He just wanted to use the influence of the great powers to end the war or seek some aid. Of course, the British could refuse without any scruples. After all, the relationship between the British and **** was not very good. But Yoshi Koyama was not good, because the Japanese had always had a good relationship with the Tongmenghui. The president of the Black Dragon Association, Ryohei Uchida and his backbone Toyama Man, were friends of Sun Yat-sen and others. In addition, the Japanese had also provided a lot of assistance to *******, but it was difficult to speak out if they refused at this critical moment.

So Xiaoshanyong could only hide aside and waited until Sun Yat-sen left and came out.

"Fortunately, it was a little earlier than MN, otherwise it would be troublesome if they were blocked in the consulate by them..."

Thinking of this, Xiaoshanyong opened the car and walked off the carriage.

At this time, the British Consul White had not left the consulate. After all, he also wanted to welcome consulates from various countries, so he hurriedly greeted him after seeing Xiao Shanyong coming.

"Long time no see, Mr. Koyama."

"Same is you, Mr. White."

As they said that, the two of them exchanged greetings for a while, and waited until the Russian consulate also arrived, White introduced Yokoyama and the Russian consulate into the consulate together.

Soon, several other consulates who had not arrived had also arrived. Soon the banquet in the consulate officially began. And just like what Koyama thought, the theme of the banquet was about the current situation in China. However, due to the authority of everyone present, this banquet that explored the situation in China could only be a banquet in the end...

When heading towards the Japanese consulate, Sun Yat-sen and others in the car were also breathing a sigh of relief.

"Sir, what should you do now?"

Next to Sun Yat-sen's seat, Jiang Zhiqing, who served as Sun Yat-sen's adjutant, asked softly.

Just now, Sun Yat-sen and his party went to the British consulate to ask for assistance, but the British consulate refused. When Sun Yat-sen saw people coming and going in the consulate and asked what had happened, White told Sun Yat-sen that a banquet was being held in the consulate, but———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Although they had been mentally prepared for a long time, when they encountered a wall at the British consul, Sun Yat-sen and others were still frustrated.

Because Jiang Zhiqing did a lot of things for Sun Yat-sen, he was also a confidant who was quite successful in using it. So even though he was frustrated at this moment, Sun Yat-sen replied.

"Let's go to the Japanese consulate first, I hope Consul Xiaoshan can find some ways to come out..."

At this point, Sun Yat-sen can only pin his hopes on the Japanese who have always had good relationships.

However, when Sun Yat-sen and his party rushed to the Japanese consulate, the counselor of the Japanese consulate walked out politely. However, when he heard that Sun Yat-sen wanted to visit Xiaoshan Yong, the counselor of the consulate had to regretfully tell Sun Yat-sen that just not long ago, Xiaoshan Yong had already taken a car to the British consulate to attend the banquet.

As for when will Xiaoshanyong come back? It’s hard to say, maybe it’s evening or late at night. If the British were well entertained, it wouldn’t be impossible even tomorrow.

After hearing the counselor's words, Sun Yat-sen and the others naturally had no choice but to leave the Japanese consulate in disappointment.

After returning to the Governor's Office, everyone was depressed.

At this time, after cooking the remaining troops of Susong County, several infantry divisions that followed continued to move forward in the direction of Anqing and Hefei.

——————————

After more than 15,000 cavalry divided into two groups, it is natural that the Anqing route is unstoppable, and the small counties along the way are not qualified to block 8,000 cavalry. Even the small security regiments inside, when they saw the cavalry under the county town, shook the flag at the fastest speed, for fear that the cavalry below would push the county town.

So at the fastest speed, the eight thousand cavalry soon pushed to the Fi.

As for Anqing all the way?

Because Anqing and other counties along the way are all larger cities, there are some soldiers in hand, so the cavalry along the way have encountered some resistance.

But it was just some resistance. After all, there were only some security groups inside, some Hanyang or Lao Moser, and even even Martini. As for Maxim or mountain cannons, there was no need to count on wild cannons.

So even a big city like Anqing was taken down in less than half a day under the offensive of 8,000 cavalry.

After taking Anqing, the cavalry of this half division did not continue to march towards Wuhu, but stayed in Anqing and waited for the follow-up troops.

It was one and a half divisions that arrived at Hefi. After arriving at Hefi, they launched a fierce attack on Hefi after taking a break.

Don’t underestimate the cavalry. Let’s not mention the 40mm rotary grenade-type sh-arm in the cavalry for the time being. For this offensive, Wang Yaowu even equipped the cavalry regiment with 80mm and 120mm mortars. These were all prepared for siege. You should know that in the New Second Division, the largest caliber is only 75mm mountain cannons and field cannons, and those cannons were completely lost in Susong County, while in Hefi there was only one brigade of infantry, and there was nothing else.

Therefore, when a half-division cavalry under Hefi City attacked the city, it was much more ferocious than the infantry.

Under the cover of mortars and 40mm grenade launchers, they launched an offensive against the defenders of Hefi again and again, but the defenders of Hefi have no intention of fighting. However, even so, Hefi cannot be taken down in a short time. After all, more than 4,000 infantry and more than 1,000 security regiments stationed in Hefi are not made of mud...

"When will the follow-up troops arrive?"

Standing at the city of Hefi, while watching the people from the cavalry regiment launch an offensive against Hefi, Yin Changheng asked Nian Ji and others beside him.
