(Time: Morning of February 11, 1922, Location: Xianghe Village, Anshan City, Liaoning Province)
Yang Dahan, Old Village Chief Wu, Wu Xiuzhen, and Dalang were happily discussing state affairs and family matters. At this time, a series of hurried footsteps came from the distance outside the door...
"Good news! Great news! " At this moment, Liu Er ran in excitedly with a brand-new newspaper…
"Liu Er, you're back from the provincial capital? "What good news?"”
"Liu Er, look at how excited you are. What good news do you have?”Wu Xiuzhen was very excited.
" Liu Er, don't be anxious. Sit down and talk slowly…" Old Village Chief Wu was the most reasonable one…
"Yang…Yang Bro, Wu Sister-in-law, Village Chief Wu, Dalang, let me tell you a piece of great news…F * ck, the Japanese have agreed to withdraw their troops from Shandong! " Liu Er said breathlessly. After saying that, he collapsed to the ground…
"Really? The Japanese have retreated from Shandong! Great, I knew that our new government (worthy of being the Republic of China government) was capable! He could actually make the ferocious Japanese surrender!”Wu Xiuzhen said excitedly.
"That's right! Back then, the Japanese devils were so fierce that they defeated the Qing Dynasty in just a few months. They even signed some bullshit treaty and occupied our Liaodong Peninsula for the Japanese. Sigh…there was no other way. Who asked that old Emperor Guangxu to be useless! Later on, the Japanese beat the 'big bearded man'(referring to the Russians) away and took over Lushun and Dalian…Sigh, that little Japanese devil is really not human. He killed tens of thousands of our Chinese people in Lushun. My only brother was also in that disaster…"
Old Village Chief Wu choked up…
" Dad…Uncle, he…" Hearing this, Wu Xiuzhen couldn't help but tear up…
" Sigh... Don't say anymore. I can only blame my brother's bad luck. He was captured by the Qing soldiers when he was young. Otherwise..." At this time, Old Wu choked and continued,"" Sigh... I thought that with the fall of the Qing government, our lives would be better. I didn't expect that Yuan Shikai to be so tough. The foreign powers still invaded our country. The Japanese weren't chased away. Instead, they became more and more powerful..."
" Yes, the Japanese built the South Manchurian Railroad and established the South Manchurian colony. Now the entire Liaodong region is almost under the control of the Japanese. They can kill and rob as they please. I really hope that Marshal Zhang can recover this place as soon as possible..." Da Lang also instructed.
"Don't worry, there will be such a day. Look, the newspaper that Liu Er brought back from the provincial capital today proves that there is still hope for our new government. It's already a miracle that the Japanese have retreated!”Old Village Chief Wu sighed.
Just as everyone was talking about the contents of today's newspaper with great interest, Wu Xiuzhen noticed that Yang Dahan was holding the newspaper without saying a word and frowned from time to time…
"Brother Yang, what's wrong with you? Our new government is doing well. Even the Japanese have agreed to withdraw from Shandong. Why don't you look happy?”Wu Xiuzhen pouted.
" I'm afraid the Japanese won't retreat so easily..." Yang Dahan thought deeply...
"Xiao Yang, how do you say this?”Old Village Chief Wu was puzzled…
"Village chief, Xiuzhen, first of all, I want to tell you that the Japanese withdrawal is definitely a cover. It's impossible to achieve!”Yang Dahan analyzed," The Japanese's ambition to invade China has not been a day or two. Since the beginning of the 1894 - 1895 War, they have been sending spies to China to investigate. After experiencing the capitalist transformation, Japan's national strength has greatly surpassed ours. In addition, Japan's invasion results and war preparations in the past ten years, as well as imperialist ideas; The current Japan was like a hungry wolf, a wolf that would never be satisfied. What about China? It was like a sheep, a sheep that was waiting to be slaughtered. Do you think a hungry wolf would let go of a sheep that was waiting to be slaughtered?
" But..." The others wanted to say something but stopped...
"Secondly, do you know why the Japanese wanted to withdraw at this time?”Yang Dahan asked.
" Not new…" Wu Xiuzhen was about to say the words 'new government...
"That's right, the current Southern government is indeed much better than the incompetent Qing government and the corrupt Northern government. However, China is still in the period of warlords. A newly established government is not enough to fight against Japan. Even if the National Government can unify China in the next few years, it will have to pay a considerable price. At that time, the difference between Japan and China would be even greater…so Japan had no reason to be afraid of the National Government! The ones who really forced them to retreat were not the Chinese but the British and American powers.”After saying that, Yang Dahan took out a brand new newspaper from his pocket."I dragged a friend back from the US Embassy in the provincial capital.
When the few of them heard that it was an American newspaper, they immediately went over to take a look. However, it was all in foreign font, and no one could understand it."Big brother, what is written on it?”
"This is the Nine Nations Convention. Do you know why Japan has been so arrogant in recent years?”Yang Dahan asked.
Everyone shook their heads…
Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Yang Dahan continued,"That was because the First World War broke out between 1914 and 1916. The Western powers were fighting fiercely in Europe and had no time to care about the affairs of Asia. This allowed the Japanese to take advantage of the loophole and occupy Shandong. When the First World War ended, Europe, America, and other countries realized that the Japanese's power in China was getting stronger and stronger. Think about it, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. The strength of Japan in China also threatened the interests of those old capitalist countries. Last year, Vietnam held a "Nine-Nation Conference" in Washington to readjust the interests of the imperialists. At the same time, it stipulated that the naval ratio of the United States, Britain, Japan, Germany, and other countries was 5:5:3:1.75: 1.75. At the same time, it also forced Japan to make concessions and return the relevant interests of China in Shandong. In February of this year, the Nine-Nation Convention officially came into effect, which gave rise to the illusion that the Japanese army wanted to withdraw from Shandong!”Yang Dahan looked very excited." Think about it, the Japanese will not let this matter rest after suffering a loss in the Nine-Nation Convention. No! They definitely wouldn't let it go!”
" Oh my god... Then our country will definitely welcome Japan's crazy revenge..." Old Village Chief Wu sighed.
" Yeah... Brother Yang, what if the Japanese really take revenge? With the current strength of Japan, China will be subjugated in less than a year..." Dalang shook his head and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" At this moment, Wu Xiuzhen couldn't bear to listen anymore."Isn't it just a small Japanese? I don't believe that our government can't beat them. Even if the government can't, we have so many people in China.”
"En, Xiuzhen said it well. We Chinese people should be united as one. Sooner or later, we will chase the Japanese back to our homeland in Japan! Yang Dahan praised.
" Brother Yang, I..." Hearing Yang Dahan's praise, Wu Xiuzhen's face turned as red as a ripe apple, making her, who was already somewhat beautiful, look exceptionally attractive...
"Oh, by the way, Brother Yang, I haven't seen the wolf child in several months when I went to the provincial capital this time. I miss him so much.”
" Uncle Liu…" At this moment, a fresh child's voice came from behind him…
