Just Scaring Them!
Zhang Xuemin had evidence of the Huanggutun incident?
Kenjiro, the Consul General of the Kingdom of Dongyang in China, was instantly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Although everyone knew that the assassination of Zhang Zuolin was done by the Kwantung Army of the Kingdom of Dongyang, if the evidence was really obtained by the Northeast, the nature of the matter would completely change!
The United Kingdom and the United States were also eyeing the northeast region covetously. After the Huanggutun incident, it was because of the dissatisfaction of the United Kingdom and the United States that the Prime Minister of Dongyang Country, Tanaka Heiichi, had no choice but to dismiss the former commander of the Kwantung Army, Muraoka Nakuro, and the senior staff officer of the Kwantung Army, Kawamoto Ichisaku. The other Japanese soldiers who participated in the Huanggutun incident were secretly executed, thinking that they had handled it flawlessly!
If Zhang Xuemin really had evidence of the Japanese assassinating Zhang Zuolin, then the United Kingdom and the United States would definitely take advantage of this to invade the northeast. At that time, it would be even more difficult for Dongyang to take over the three northeastern provinces!
"What…what evidence? Commander Zhang, you can't talk nonsense…The Huanggutun incident has nothing to do with our Dongyang Kingdom…" Kenjiro was so scared that his voice changed!
"Whether it has anything to do with it or not, you know best in your hearts!”
Zhang Xuemin narrowed his eyes and shouted," Xishun, send the guest out!”
"Yes, sir! Mr. Consul General, please!"
Under the lead of Zhao Xishun, the Consul General of Dongyang walked out in a daze. He could no longer care about the fact that Zhang Xuemin had killed seven Japanese soldiers. He had to immediately verify Zhang Xuemin's words with the commander of the Kwantung Army, Tian Yingtaro!
After Kenjiro left, Zhang Zuoxiang immediately rushed over and shouted in panic,"Xi Qing, how could you shoot someone from Dongyang? They have been plotting against us for a long time. Aren't you giving them an excuse to send troops?”
"Will they let the northeast off just because we bow and greet them with a smile?”
Zhang Xuemin asked in a deep voice, leaving Zhang Zuoxiang speechless. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything!
The Kingdom of Dongyang had been plotting against the Northeast for a long time. How could they give up their plot to occupy the entire Northeast just because of a smile? In history, it was because of Zhang Xueliang's repeated forbearance that the Japanese army gradually encroached on Hui City in the Northeast, until the September 18th Incident, when they directly attacked the North Camp and occupied the entire Northeast!
Moreover, Dongyang was not confident in making a move. They were restricted by the Bear Country, the United Kingdom, and the United States. That was why Zhang Xuemin was particularly tough, raising the customs duties of Japanese and Russian products, and shooting the guards of the Dongyang Consul General in China. All of this was to scare the Kwantung Army!
As long as he could buy time to develop the northeast industry, reorganize the army, and produce new weapons, he would take the initiative to start a war even if the Japanese did not start a war!
"Sigh!"
Zhang Zuoxiang sighed helplessly. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly asked,""Do you really have evidence that they killed the old marshal and Hanqing in Huanggutun?”
"It doesn't matter if we have evidence or not. The key is whether the people of Dongyang believe it or not. As long as they believe that we have evidence of Huanggu Tun, they won't dare to act rashly in the short term!”Zhang Xuemin squinted his eyes and said. At the same time, he was thinking about the reactions of the Jin Ling City government and Dongyang Country.
What he had to do now was to take the opportunity to develop the northeast and strengthen the strength of the Feng army!
As long as the time was right, he would do it!
"Then…what if they weren't fooled and used this as an excuse to find trouble?”Zhang Zuoxiang asked worriedly. In terms of military strength, the northeast and Dongyang were on completely different levels. The difference was too great!
If they really fought, they would be at a disadvantage!
"Even if the people of Dongyang really want to cause us trouble, there will be someone who will take care of it for us. Don't worry, uncle!”
"Who's going to hold it for us?"
Zhang Xuemin's lips curled into a smile as he harrumphed," The principal of Jin Ling City!"
"Principal?"
Zhang Zuoxiang was stunned and asked doubtfully,""What does this have to do with the principal? Did you secretly contact him? But he can't help us resist the Japanese army, right?”
"Uncle, the principal and Dongyang both want the Northeast. This is our chance to shift the pressure on each other. As long as we balance the powerful relationships in the Northeast, we can buy enough time for development!”Zhang Xuemin patted Zhang Zuoxiang's shoulder and smiled.
Zhang Zuoxiang took a deep breath. He suddenly realized that he couldn't understand his 20-year-old nephew. He was balancing the pressure from the principal and the people of Dongyang and seeking development in the crevice. This kind of scheming and courage might not even be found in a few decades old guy. He sighed helplessly and ordered Xi Shun to drag the corpses of the Japanese soldiers on the ground out and clean them up!
"Wait a minute!"
Xuemin suddenly called out to Xishun,"Cut off the heads of these Japanese and hang them on the roof of Fengtian City. They will be exposed to the sun for three days as a memorial to the old marshal!”
"Commander-in-chief, this isn't good, is it?"
"There's nothing bad about it. Just do as I say. If we don't do something ruthless, how can we scare the Dongyang people!”Zhang Xuemin narrowed his eyes and shouted.
"Yes, sir!"
