Chapter 174(2/2)
In the name of the army, Zhang Zuolin was still somewhat on guard. The internal affairs troops originally stationed in Mengdi, Fengtian Province on the banks of the Yalu River were a thorn in Zhang Zuolin's side. Compared with the Fengtian Army, the internal affairs troops were much stronger.
Unlike the armies of various provinces, the pay of the internal affairs troops is much higher than that of the provincial armies, and their equipment is very sophisticated. The number of submachine guns and machine guns in a corps is more than ten times that of the provincial army, and the number of large and small artillery is several times that of the provincial army. Not to mention it is well-equipped.
And well-trained. In Zhang Zuolin's opinion, let alone two corps, if they really fought on the battlefield, his 27th Division might not even be able to stop a corps of internal affairs troops, but those two corps were his own
Promised.
Zhang Zuolin, who had always been determined to drive the Internal Affairs Troops out of Fengtian, not only failed to drive out the Internal Affairs Troops, but the State Council even wanted to mobilize two more corps in the name of the danger to the east. This is too...thinking of the State Council.
Did he put his hand in after all? Did he have an ulterior motive? Or...
Reason! Excuse... it must be it! Even though Zhang Zuolin is rude, he is actually very clever. At critical moments, he can be rough but subtle. Putting away the letter, he sighed softly, smiled slightly, looked at Zhang Yilin and said with a solemn expression.
:
'Please also ask Chairman Zhang to tell the Prime Minister that it is the bounden duty of soldiers to protect their homes and the country. Please rest assured, Prime Minister, Zuolin will never let the Prime Minister down or let the people down! If our eastern neighbor wants to invade Fengtian, Zuolin will never retreat even half a step if he is still alive.
, go through fire and water, no matter what!'
Zhang Zuolin changed his subject slightly and did not mention the transfer of internal affairs troops from the two corps mentioned in the letter. Instead, he showed his determination to "defend the homeland and defend the country".
"At that time, Zuolin should call the central government to send reinforcements!"
This sentence made his intentions very clear. If the power of the East comes, he will resist, but before the threat from the East, the central government had better not interfere with his defense in Fengtian!
'Okay! We in China must have soldiers like General Zhang.'
Regarding Zhang Zuolin's confession, Zhang Yilin, while praising him, took out another document, and that document clearly bore the plum blossom emblem of the State Council.
"General Zhang, here is a piece of intelligence intercepted by the State Council!"
What was it like to be on the pirate ship? After the servant invited Zhang Yilin into the guest room, Zhang Zuolin felt that he had been fooled by Zhang Yilin. To be precise, he had been fooled by the man in Beijing. The previous private message,
It was only mentioned that the conflict between Japan and China deepened due to the "Jiao'ao Incident". The South Manchuria Railway and Guandong Prefecture held by the Japanese in Fengtian Province made Fengtian Province a "frontier of resistance to Japan." In view of this, in order to prevent the Japanese, it is necessary to strengthen Fengtian Province.
For provincial defense, rashly mobilizing the Central Army will inevitably alert the Japanese and cause the situation to collapse, so we hope to mobilize internal affairs troops to strengthen it.
What is this letter?
It was basically a matter of digging a hole for him to jump into, but he patted his chest and said it all. It was not necessary to say it all. When Zhang Zuolin jumped into the hole, the boss took out the secret documents of the State Council.
The several confidential telegrams of the Japanese Army contained in the secret document, whether they were related to the increase of troops or the strengthening of defense in the railway affiliated areas, all told him one fact... The little Japanese nose was afraid that this time it was really targeting Fengtian!
"How?"
For a moment, Zhang Zuolin felt worried. The Japanese people here were staring at Fengtian with eager eyes. If there were more descendants, it would be two divisions. Not to mention two divisions, even one division would be enough to swallow them up.
Fengtian, but on the other side, the prime minister's special envoy was still living in his guest room.
There was a tiger in front of him and a wolf behind him. Zhang Zuolin suddenly had no idea. He didn't understand the Japanese ambitions, but how could the State Council really be selfless?
In the past few years, Zhang Zuolin has already developed some new habits after serving as an official. When he encounters difficulties, he turns to his think tanks. Now when he encounters this unsolvable problem, after thinking for a moment, he immediately sends a car to solve the problem.
Yuan Jinkai came to pick him up.
After Yuan Jinkai arrived at the General's Mansion, Zhang Zuolin first let Yuan Jinkai read the Prime Minister's private message clearly, and then asked him to read the secret documents of the State Council, and even left Yuan Jinkai for almost half an hour.
Let him think about it before speaking:
‘Jeshan. It’s just a matter like this. You have to figure out what to do.’
‘Looking at the situation, what the Prime Minister mentioned in the letter is true?’
Yuan Jinkai stroked his sparse yellow beard and said absently, in fact, he was also frightened by the contents of those secret documents. Compared with the capital, he was more worried about the Japanese people and their ambitions for the Northeast.
As a Northeastern person, how could he not know this?
‘No!’
Zhang Zuolin nodded and said:
'The ambition of the Japanese people can be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, but...the Japanese people are watching with eagerness, so isn't the State Council hiding its evil intentions? Just look at the movements of the National Socialist Party in our area. If this continues,
I'm just afraid that we serve others..."
He spoke calmly, but Zhang Zuolin couldn't help but let out a long sigh, looking like he was a pity for serving someone.
"Now, in matters related to Fengtian, it can be said that there is a tiger in front and a wolf behind. If you are not careful, things will get into trouble. You and I may both become sinners.'
Yuan Jinkai picked up the tea cup and thought for a moment, then looked at the telegram and said:
‘It’s okay, it’s okay, this matter is easy to handle.’
'what to do?'
Hearing what Yuan Jinkai said, Zhang Zuolin's face suddenly showed a look of anxiety. Originally, this was an unsolvable situation in his eyes. How to get to Yuan Jinkai's place was not that important. How could this happen?
With just a little effort, he can find a way? A scholar is indeed a scholar!
‘Actually, this matter is simple.’
'Simple?'
Zhang Zuolin looked anxiously at Yuan Jinkai, who was hesitant to speak.
"At least, it's not that difficult!"
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Yuan Jinkai looked at Zhang Zuolin's eager look and suddenly felt a little proud. As an aide, what he valued most was the proprietor's demanding expression.
"Jeshan, please tell me your idea quickly."
"This matter actually only requires four words!"
After the words fell silent, Yuan Jinkai uttered four words.
“Drive the tiger away and devour the wolf!”
"Driving the tiger to devour the wolf?"
Yuan Jinkai's suggestion only made Zhang Zuolin stunned. What kind of plan could he use to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf?
"Tell me about it."
Then Yuan Jinkai stood up and leaned in Zhang Zuolin's ear, whispering his plan. Zhang Zuolin was stunned after listening to Yuan Jinkai's suggestion.
"This... I have to think about it. Maybe I will become a fucking traitor." (To be continued...)
