The Kwantung Army headquarters.
"Commander Muraoka, it seems that Zhang Zuolin is really lucky. The country will soon dismiss me and send me back…What a pity.”
Daisaku Kawamoto looked out of the window unwillingly. This vast land was exactly what the empire needed, but it could not be completely occupied.
Muraoka Choutarou consoled him." Kawamoto, you've worked hard. This is just a formality. I believe Shirakawa Yoshinori will definitely protect you."”
Was that so?
However, he was still not satisfied that he could not kill Zhang Zuolin. He rolled his eyes and decided to plan another assassination before leaving office.
"General Muraoka, I recommend Assistant Doctor Itagaki to take over my position. I believe he will definitely share your worries.”
This…
Muraoka Choutarou frowned. He already had a suitable candidate in mind, but when he thought about how Daisaku Kawamoto had taken responsibility for the entire Huanggutun incident, there was no way he could refuse.
Moreover, he had received news that the backbone officers of the young and strong faction in the central department of the Army, such as Nagata Tieshan, Okamura Yasuji, Kobata Toshiro, Yamaoka Shigehou, Isotani Rensuke, Itagaki Seishiro, Tojo Hideki, Doihara Kenji, Yamashita Fengwen, and others, all adopted a firm policy of protecting Kawamoto and opposed the use of military law or judicial procedures to deal with Kawamoto.
At the same time, they also received the support of the Army Minister Shirakawa Yoshinori, the higher-ups of the Army, Araki Sadao, Koji Kuniaki, and other heads of staff, forming a formation for the entire Army to defend Kawamoto.
I'll just treat it as a favor. Besides, Itagaki Seishiro's ability is very strong.
"Sure! I will report to the military."
Northern Expedition Alliance Command.
A discussion about the assassination of the Northeastern King, Zhang Zuolin, was also going on.
"This Zhang Yuting is really unlucky. It seems that the Japanese have already broken off relations with him. Otherwise, why would they want to get rid of him so quickly?”
Feng Yuxiang exhaled a mouthful of smoke. Although his words were teasing, his eyes were filled with worry.
The Japanese couldn't hold back anymore?
" I wonder how Zhang Zuolin will respond." Li Zongren was also a little frustrated." What should we do if the Feng army starts a war with the Japanese?"”
That's right!
What should he do?
If they were to sit back and watch the tigers fight, the 400 million citizens would probably not agree. If their 700,000-strong army were to sit back and do nothing across Shanhaiguan, they would probably be cursed for the rest of their lives.
However, it was not in their interest to come out of seclusion and fight the Japanese…
silence
Everyone had their own plans, and no one wanted to speak first.
"I'll call Zhang Yuting to express my condolences and try my best to dissuade him!”
In the end, Old Jiang pursed his lips and made the final decision.
Bei Du.
"How can I be at ease when my father was assassinated? It was better to evacuate the troops outside the pass as soon as possible.”
Zhang Xiaoliu, who was dressed in military uniform, was anxious and restless. He kept pacing back and forth to relax his inner frustration.
However, he suddenly realized that he wasn't worried about his father being assassinated. Instead, he had a vague sense of crisis towards Zhang Tian, his adopted brother who had suddenly risen up after the Huanggutun incident.
In the past, although his father had doted on his eighth brother, who had a complicated background, Zhang Tian's personality alone was enough to make people avoid him. It was impossible for him to pose a threat to him, the legitimate first-in-line heir.
The situation was different now. This guy usually didn't show his strength, but his moves were earth-shattering.
This was not a good sign!
Yang Yuting ignored him and looked down at the contents of the secret report. He frowned and said,""What kind of bewitching potion did Zhang Hanxing give the marshal?”
"You actually managed to convince the marshal to compromise and change sides with Jinling. Hanqing, you have to be careful. You're not afraid of open competition, but you're afraid of this old fox like Sima Yi who's too good at pretending!”
"I know, but changing sides is the general trend now. I have to deal with this matter first, so I can't suppress this eighth brother for the time being. Otherwise, father will definitely be disgusted with me.”
ta ta ta
An adjutant walked in."Sir, the allied forces on the front line have retreated 10 kilometers to make way. Should we organize a retreat?"”
Hundreds of thousands of allied troops retreated?
Zhang Xiaoliu and Yang Yuting looked at each other and immediately understood what Old Jiang and the others meant. Obviously, they did not want to get involved in the war between the Feng army and Japan.
Since he wasn't participating, he wouldn't be a burden.
They had done their best to let the Feng army out of seclusion as soon as possible. Otherwise, the 400 million Chinese people would definitely kill them.
"Order all troops to pack up their equipment and set off immediately!”
"Yes."
Fengtian Marshal's Residence.
Zhang Tian didn't know that the situation in East Asia had become tense because of the Huanggutun incident. He was now arguing with Zhang Jialing.
"Jialing, I'm your boyfriend. Your money is my money, understand? We're only 16 now, not old enough to talk about marriage yet…Don't be anxious.”
She even threatened him to sign a marriage agreement to borrow money. Zhang Tian was impressed by this little beauty.
Was she that afraid that she wouldn't be able to get married?
"Brother Hanxing, as long as you sign the agreement, I'll lend you my mother's private savings.”
"How much?"
" Fifty thousand dollars…"
艹
"I love you, hurry up and sign it…Hurry up!”
