The negotiations between Japan and the Northeast clearly did not reach an agreement in the early stages. Both sides felt that the other party's conditions were too harsh. The Japanese completely rejected Zhang Xueze's "New Twenty-one Demands." As for the Northeast, they also fully rejected the "New Northeast Convention" proposed by the Japanese. There was no other way. Japan and the Northeast would not give in during the negotiations. Therefore, the negotiations continued to drag on until June 25th. The two sides negotiated for a total of four rounds, but there was still no progress. Of course, Zhang Xueze was not in a hurry at all. This was because there were more than 12,000 soldiers in the Kwantung Army, and many of them were injured. Before the development of penicillin, there were too many soldiers who had their wounds infected!!
Therefore, Zhang Xueze had reason to believe that the Japanese side would not sit still!!
Beiping, Dongjiao Minxiang, Country Ying's ambassador to China, Zhu Erdian, finally stopped delaying. He decided to personally go to Andong to preside over this so-called negotiation meeting so that the relationship between Northeast China and Japan could be normal. On the way from Beiping to Fengtian, Fang Ze's mouth had not stopped. The alliance between Japan and Country Ying made the Americans dislike Japan and Country Ying. Since when did the people of Country Ying support the development of the Japanese Empire in the Pacific Ocean? The United Navy had become the third largest navy in the world, so the Americans hated the Ying people even more!!
"Ambassador Fang Ze, after all, your country has suffered a huge defeat in the northeast. Moreover, the economic situation of the Japanese Empire is not enough to support the war to invade the northeast. At the same time, it is impossible to obtain a loan from the Ying Country. The Prime Minister has already rejected the loan.!”
Zhu Erdian obviously knew that in recent years, although the capitalist world had maintained a high level of economic prosperity after World War I, the power behind the prosperity had already begun to show signs. Take the British Empire as an example. There were more and more riots and repression in the colonies under its jurisdiction. Even though the stocks of several steel giants in the London stock exchange had risen to crazy heights, the government still did not have enough money!
All the money was in the stock market. Even the market value of the stocks that Zhu Erdian bought exceeded two million pounds. The huge profits made the entire England immersed in this beautiful dream!
Fang Ze's gaze was a little unfocused. The great Empire of Japan actually did not have the money to start a war. Two days ago, the General Staff of the Empire had started a discussion on the cost of the war in the northeast. The final conclusion was that to attack the northeast, they had to at least guarantee 120 million yen in military expenses. If the first round of attack could not take down the northeast, Japan would be stuck in the quagmire of war. The cost of continuing the war would increase exponentially as time passed!!
Therefore, the Japanese government finally decided to negotiate with the Northeast. As for the "New Twenty-one Demands" proposed by the Northeast, some could be agreed to, while others would not. Of course, this was the charm of diplomatic negotiations!
At the same time, in Fengtian City, Zhang Xueze had already built the military framework of the future Northeast Army in the past ten days. The Northeast Army would use infantry divisions as the largest combat unit. During the war, it would be organized into a front army, which would be divided into two types: the Guard Infantry Division and the Garrison Infantry Division. The Northeast Army would be formally reassembled into a Northeast Army with three Guard Infantry Divisions and eight Garrison Divisions, totaling nearly 250,000 people, within three months after the negotiations ended. At the same time, each infantry division had three infantry brigades, nine infantry regiments, and twenty-seven infantry battalions. One infantry division had to fight against the Japanese A-class divisions on the battlefield!!
Of course, this was all for the future. The implementation of the new system of the Northeast Army would inevitably be opposed by the old-fashioned people. At that time, Zhang Xueze would still massacre some stubborn people and kill them to warn the monkeys. He would let those who had disloyalty see who was in charge of the Northeast!
"Jiang Dengxuan, order all the troops stationed at the Yalu River defense line to enter a state of war alert from today onwards.!”
Zhang Xueze made a phone call to Andong City. Obviously, there were times when he needed to force the Japanese. Otherwise, how could he intimidate them into signing the treaty as soon as possible?
"Zou Zuohua, order the two independent artillery regiments stationed near Andong to start a military artillery exercise. Use all the blank shells on the Yalu River to scare the Japanese!!”
"Yang Yuting, you must stabilize the people of Andong City. Don't let the people nearby feel fear. Japan definitely won't dare to attack!!”
Iron Ambition's first national policy was to " revitalize the Northeast ". After completing this national policy, according to the Iron Ambition system, the people's hearts, scientific research, resources, and even diplomacy in the Northeast would undergo a qualitative change. Perhaps it was a bug in the system, but under the subtle influence, the recognition of the Northeast in the hearts of the people would rapidly increase.
However, the final reason for Zhang Xueze to speed up the negotiations was the beginner's gift pack from the Iron Ambition system. The beginner's gift pack contained technological information about the German military during World War II. Whether it was the German rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, general machine guns, or paratroopers, there was a complete set of technological information. At the same time, it also included technological information about the German armored tanks, the German air force's fighter jets... and even various black technologies. For example, the V-series missile technology, airship technology, and large-caliber artillery. These were all impressively listed!!
Therefore, Zhang Xueze wanted to end the negotiations even more these few days, even though he had secretly ordered people to set up the No.1 Northeast Research Center, the Northeast Armored Research Center, the Northeast Flight Research Center, the Northeast Nautical Research Center, the Northeast Biomedicine Research Center...
Everything needed time to prepare. Facing the huge polar bear in the north, Zhang Xueze knew that in the face of the steel flood of the Soviet Union, even Japan would be flattened. What could these industries in the northeast count for?
At 8:00 a.m. on June 26th, the highly anticipated diplomatic conference officially began. The location of the diplomatic negotiations between Northeast China and Japan was moved to Fengtian. At the same time, it was not only Northeast China and Japan who attended the negotiation conference, but also the Ying country, France, Japan, the Soviet Union, the Dé country, Italy, and other major powers!!
Obviously, the Great Powers had already noticed that the Northeast would remain a powerful warlord force in China for a long time to come. Although they had lost in the Northern Expedition, after studying the battle against the Japanese Kwantung Army, the Great Powers had finally come to the conclusion that if Zhang Zuolin did not come out of seclusion, the warlords inside the pass would definitely not be able to conquer the Northeast. Moreover, the Northeast was located in Northeast Asia, which was a sensitive area!!
That was why so many countries had come to negotiate with the Japanese!
And the person in charge of the meeting in the northeast was Zhang Zuolin instead of Zhang Xueze!!
