On June 5th, in Fengtian, the northeast, several newspapers controlled by the Japanese reported the same conclusion in unison. The Huanggutun explosion had nothing to do with Japan. In order to control the fishing vessels, the Japanese Army Department even blocked the news of the Huanggutun railway garrison being captured by the Feng army!
There was nothing he could do. Under the great pressure of the Emperor, Daisaku Kawamoto and Shigeru Honjo did not move at all. The news that came from the marshal's mansion was even more tragic for Daisaku Kawamoto. It was very likely that Zhang Lin was not dead at all and was even presiding over the highest military and political meeting in the northeast!!
The worst thing was that the 200,000 soldiers in the northeast were all gathered outside the pass. It was obviously unwise for the Japanese to attack Fengtian at this time!
Of course, the Japanese government's first step was to get the media to tackle the problem and try their best to calm the anger of the Northeast. The second step was to get the Northeast to have solid evidence to prove that Japan had exploded the railway. The Japanese would abandon Honshaka and Kawamoto Daisaku to reduce the anger of Zhang Lin and even Feng!!
On the night of the 5th of June, in the study room of the marshal's residence!
Zhang Ze and Zhang Lin sat across from each other. The military meeting during the day had finally decided to temporarily suspend Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zongchang, Wu Junsheng, Tang Yulin, Zhang Zuoxiang, and the others from their military duties. The main punishment was to punish the old-school officials…
"Father, this is my latest plan for the northeast military system. You see, the establishment of the regiments and brigades cannot fully utilize the advantages of our heavy weapons, especially when it comes to management. It is very inconvenient. There are even a few regiments that are commanders at the same time. It is as if there is enmity between the regiments. We need to disrupt this establishment. According to the establishment of the country's land army, it is divided into two types: the Guards Division and the Garrison Division. The Garrison Division is basically stationed in the northeast border area. The Imperial Guards were stationed in the core cities, and they were organized into divisions, brigades, regiments, battalions, and platoons. At the same time, they set up the Northeast's highest military council, with their father as the highest military leader!!”
Zhang Lin spread out the new military construction plan. Obviously, Zhang Ze's plan had already moved him. The Supreme Military Council was the highest authority in the entire Feng Army!
"Liu Zi, do you mean that Sun Chuanfang and the others can't be used in the future?？”
After all, they were old friends, and Zhang Lin did not want to offend them too much. However, under the joint attack of Lu Da and the officers, the old-fashioned officials might really not be able to climb up. If anything happened, the northeast would be in turmoil!
" Father, this is the purpose of establishing the Supreme Military Administration. All the old-fashioned people will be able to join the Military Administration Council and become members. They will also enjoy a generous salary and have a good reputation. At the same time, the military administration council members have no real power and can only express their opinions. They will not have any binding effect on the army under their command. After the new middle-level and high-level officers are trained, it will be impossible for the old-fashioned people to get involved in the army!”
To put it simply, Zhang Ze's method was to draw a big pie for you. The Northeast's Supreme Military Council looked high and mighty, but it was actually a sinecure. There were only a few regimental commanders who could enter the military. Therefore, it was true that they were promoted openly and demoted secretly!!
Zhang Lin laughed. This kid was really terrifying. He could even think of such a terrifying idea. In the future, the northeast would not be the same as Zhang Lin's generation. They could not keep up with the times. Whether it was the rapid development of weapons and equipment or the various combat tactics between the large armies, everything had changed. Perhaps it was really as Zhang Ze said. The reason why the Feng army kept losing was because of the old style!!
"Father, tomorrow morning at 6 am, with the 3rd and 4th Corps as the main force, attack the Japanese Kwantung Army headquarters in Mukden. Attack all the Japanese strongholds along the South Manchurian and Anfeng railroads, as well as the mines, forests, and even illegal residential buildings built by the Japanese!”
"Alright, I agree. We will use the 3rd and 4th Corps as the main force and attack with all our might. I, Zhang Lin, have 200,000 soldiers. I'm afraid of those little devils. Tomorrow, at 6 o'clock, we will attack the Kwantung Army headquarters.!! Let the Japanese think about what kind of price they have to pay to attack our northeast!!”
After all, he was a bandit. Zhang Lin definitely had to take revenge. If he wanted to kill Zhang Lin, he had to pay the price…How could he do that!
At this moment, Zhang Ze handed a new negotiation treaty to Zhang Lin. This time, the Japanese had to pay a price for their military adventure. Just like the 1894 - 1895 treaty, the Japanese had obtained many benefits from the Manchu government. Zhang Ze wanted to sign a new Northeast treaty from the Japanese!!
"First, Japan will evacuate all its citizens from Fengtian City within a month and close all shops involved in the industry!!”
"Second, Japan will transfer the rights and interests of the South Manchurian railway to the northeast, and at the same time, withdraw from Andong City and give the right to station the Fengjun!!”
"Third, the economic loans and military loans that Japan has provided to the northeast in the past are all abolished. It is forbidden to continue asking for them!!”
"Fourth, Japan will compensate the Northeast with 100 million yuan. At the same time, the weapons and equipment owned by the Kwantung Army will be transferred to the Northeast unconditionally!!”
…………
There were a total of twenty-one clauses, big and small. Zhang Lin was shocked when he saw the drafted treaty. Indeed, in Zhang Lin's eyes, this treaty was impossible. The Japanese would never agree to it. If they agreed, all the years of planning by Japan in Northeast China, including the Russo-Japanese war, would be in vain!!
"Han Qing, the Japanese will never agree!!”
"Father, signing a treaty is like doing business. Naturally, we have to raise the price at the beginning. The Japanese are in the wrong this time. Moreover, our military strength is on our side. If father and the higher-ups can work together and harden their hearts to fight the Japanese to the death, I believe that Japan will never fight against the Feng army.!”
Compared to the 918 incident, the elites of the northeast were all inside the pass. Now, the elites of the Feng army were all gathered in Fengtian…What were the Japanese going to use to fight?？
" Even if we can reach five of these terms in the end, it'll be a huge profit for the northeast. Why not…"
Zhang Ze smiled. He felt that he was a little cunning. Zhang Lin suddenly realized that this kid had already known everything. He was so calm and now he wanted to extort so many things from the Japanese!!
