The small territory, the island territory, and the servility and oppression in its historical heritage allowed modern Japan to start its own Meiji Restoration after coming into contact with the industrial revolution in the West. However, perhaps because of the oppression of the Central Plains Dynasty over the years, Japan had formed a top-down gambler mentality in modern times. It had been arrogant and constantly waging war against neighboring countries, whether it was North Korea, the Qing Dynasty, or Russia, until the September 18th incident not long ago. In the Songhu battlefield, the Japanese military government had placed the fate of tens of millions of people on the battlefield!!
He had succeeded. He had soared into the sky and become a world-class empire!
If they were defeated, they would be unable to recover from the setback. The glory of the Yamato people would forever be buried in the trench of the Sea of Japan…
However, it would be foolish to naively believe that the Japanese military would only blindly start a war without considering the consequences. The two factions of war and non-war in Japan fought each other every day. The September 18th Incident was a radical military action that offended the superiors!
Although it was a huge success, it didn't mean that the entire Japanese military had been kidnapped into this charging chariot!
The 12th Division of the Japanese Army was led by General Mizumiao Guqing, a lieutenant general of the Japanese Army. The 12th Division was a newly formed first-class division after the September 18th Incident. It had two infantry regiments and more than 20,000 soldiers. They had also graduated from the Japanese Army Military University and witnessed the rise of the Empire and the decline of China. The Japanese generation had a natural disdain for China. They had a great country, but they were constantly weak and had failed many times in foreign wars!
"General! General Ban Yuan's telegram!"
As the main planner of the September 18th Incident, Itagaki Seishiro was also praised as a new star in the military. His limelight could not be mentioned in the same breath. However, it was a great benefit for the Empire to obtain such a huge resource gathering place in the three northeastern provinces!
"Iron Blood Army?"
"Gu Weiming of the Independent Brigade?？”
Shuimiao Gu Qing was still unfamiliar with the name Gu Weiming. If General Banyuan had not mentioned it, he really would not have remembered it. Why would he remember the name of a brigade commander for no reason?
"Yo, so it's the national hero of the Chinese people. However, the Tangde railway station has been occupied. It's not a good thing for the Jiaoji railway!”
" Call General Ban Yuan back immediately. Tell the government to negotiate with Huaxia…"
Even though they were both Lieutenant Generals, there was a high possibility that Itagaki Seishiro would return to the country within half a year and enter the headquarters of the Empire's Army Department. Shuimiao Guqing's lips curled up. General Itagaki was indeed a pillar of the Empire, allowing the Iron Blood Army to continue staying in Shandong. This time, the Empire's government only needed to maintain a strong diplomatic stance regarding the Tangde railway station incident. However, there was no need to force Gu Weiming's troops. Instead, they would let the Iron Blood Army go to war with the national army stationed in Shandong. At that time, the Empire's army would settle this war as a third party…
However, another idea also formed in his mind. Never anger Itagaki Seishiro. He and Okamura Yasuji of the Imperium's General Staff Headquarters were both demon stars that were rarely seen in a hundred years. He could not make enemies with them…
On June 19th, the Nanjing National Government and the Japanese government officially issued a joint statement. Both sides said that the incident at Tangde Train Station was a traffic conflict of a manageable scale. Both China and Japan had misunderstandings, which caused an unnecessary war. After mediation by both sides, the matter was finally resolved!!
Meanwhile, in Zaozhuang, Gu Weiming was in a good mood after hearing the so-called joint statement. It was exactly as he had expected. As for the Nanjing National Government, because Chairman Jiang was worried that Gu Weiming would expose some things, they had been chasing Han Fuqu and asking the 14th Army to destroy Gu Weiming's troops as soon as possible. If necessary, they would shoot Gu Weiming to death as an excuse to destroy the peaceful unification of the party and the country. However, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. Han Fuqu was also a border official. The order from Nanjing had reached Shandong. Besides, if Gu Weiming died in Shandong, Han Fuqu would not be able to do anything to him. He would definitely suffer a loss in terms of righteousness. Therefore, Han Fuqu would not care about Gu Weiming at all. He would even let Gu Weiming lead the remnants of his army from the Songhu battlefield to fight against the Japanese. This was also a disguised form of resistance against Japan!
"Traveler, the Japanese and Han Fuqu don't want to touch us. This is a huge opportunity. Our strategic goal of attacking Tang De Train Station has been achieved!”
Indeed, if not for the special geographical location of Tang De Train Station, the Iron Blood Army would not have had enough room for development, and this battle would not have been fought. However, after capturing Tang De Train Station, the bottleneck of the Iron Blood Army's development would be completely opened. They would directly expand north and form a vertical power region. The Jiaozhou Peninsula and even the entire Shandong Province would be in a period of peace. The Iron Blood Army would have room for development, population, market, and mineral resources. Everything had changed completely because of this war. North of Tangde Train Station, there was a large empty military area. As there were no major cities, neither Han Fuqu nor Japan had the mood to station troops there. The right time, the right place, and the right people had given Gu Weiming a chance!!
At this moment, the cold voice of the Red Alert base rang out in Gu Weiming's head again. He wondered what the Red Alert's reward for completing the mission of capturing Tang De Train Station was!
" Respected Commander, congratulations on completing the mission to attack Tangde Train Station. The Red Alert Base has officially been upgraded to a township level. Mission completion rating is 99 points. The commander did not use the 105mm caliber howitzer to destroy the Japanese army. Instead, he allowed the Iron Blood Army to face a real tragic war, especially the Second Battalion of the First Regiment. They suffered heavy losses, but the result of doing so made the entire Iron Blood Army realize the huge gap between them and the Japanese army!!”
Gu Weiming nodded and did not comment. He could not be complacent just because of the rapid development of the Iron Blood Army. He had to give the enemy the respect they deserved!
This way, they could suppress the impetuous atmosphere in the Iron Blood Army. This group of brats could also be trained well!!
"Commander Gu Weiming, please accept the mission gift pack!!”
"Big gift bag teleporting. Countdown to 10 seconds!!”
