On June 4th, 1928, at six o'clock in the morning, a nationwide telegram was sent out from the capital. It was extremely eye-catching and entered everyone's line of sight. The name of the telegram was the young marshal Zhang Ze. Everyone knew that Zhang Ze was the eldest son of Zhang Lin. Who knew what the contents of this national telegram were!!
" At 5:30 AM, the Japanese Kwantung Army blew up the railway at the intersection of the Jingfeng and Nanman railroads in Huanggutun. The special car that the Republic of China's Grand Marshal Zhang Lin was in also suffered great damage. The gunpowder residue at the scene and the bodies of the Japanese Kwantung Army's railway guards can prove that the explosion at Huanggutun in the early morning was a long-planned assassination. Japan took the initiative to provoke war and assassinate the head of the Republic of China. I, Zhang Hanqing, will never allow the Japanese to continue staying in the three northeastern provinces. From now on, the entire country will be electrified, and the northeast will fight the Japanese to the death. My father, Zhang Lin, is lucky. He has only suffered a small injury and has safely returned to the Fengtian Marshal's Office. When my father arrived in Fengtian, he gave me full authority to declare war on Japan and the Japanese Kwantung Army!!”
"In the three northeastern provinces, the Middle East railway is controlled by the Soviet Union, and the South Manchurian railway is controlled by Japan. Japan occupied the Korean Peninsula before, and now they are trying to get their hands on the three northeastern provinces. I, Zhang Hanqing, will not allow it. The 30 million people of Northeast China will not allow it, and the 40 million Chinese people will not allow it. The three northeastern provinces will become Japan's colonies, and we will start a war with the Japanese Kwantung Army, the Japanese Empire, and any other powers that want to get their hands on China!!”
"Now, Japan is coveting our rich rivers and mountains. My fellow countrymen, rise up and resist. The humiliation of the 1894 - 1895 is still fresh in my mind. If the dignified China is defeated by the Japanese again, the 5,000-year-old China will be completely conquered and defeated!!”
"Fengtian is in danger, the northeast is in danger, and China is in danger. I hope that the warlords in the north and south will put down their factional disputes and that the people in the country will unite to resist the Japanese and resolutely resist the foreign invaders!!”
"June 4th, 1928, the Republic of China's Anguo Army government Zhang Hanqing announced!!”
Beijing, Juren Hall. Zhang Ze smiled. Just as he was done with the electricity, the Steel Ambition system's voice sounded again…
"Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission,'Saving Zhang Lin, the entire country is electrified.' The novice gift bag has been unlocked, and your prestige has increased by 100 points. The novice gift bag has been successfully sent. Please unlock it within a week. I hope the host will continue to work hard and drive the Japanese out of the northeast!!”
It wasn't a waste of his saliva. Although it looked good to have the entire country electrified, the Japanese would probably target him from now on. What if they tried to assassinate him…
However, when he thought about the Iron Ambition system, he was not afraid of any demons or monsters…
Nanjing, the office of the National Government of the Republic of China. Obviously, Jiang Zhongzheng, who had succeeded in the Northern Expedition, was in high spirits. He had defeated Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, and Zhang Lin of the Northern Expedition. The next step was to unify the country. The current military strength and combat strength of the National Revolutionary Army were already considered the largest military force in the country!
"Your excellency, Beijing has been notified that Zhang Lin's eldest son, Zhang Ze3, has just declared war on Japan!!”
Jiang Zhongzheng, who was preparing to send electricity to Yan Xishan, was stunned when he heard the news. Was Zhang Lin crazy to declare war on Japan? Japan was a true superpower, and it was not something that an agricultural country like China could defeat…Even though Japan was at the bottom of the hierarchy, once war broke out, their combined naval fleet would definitely have the power to seal off the entire coastline of China…
"When did this happen?"
Jiang Zhongzheng said coldly. The relationship between the Northeast and Japan was complicated. The Japanese's intention to get their hands on the Northeast was exposed early on. For example, if it weren't for the Japanese's interference in the Northern Expedition, Zhang Lin's hometown, Northeast, would have been occupied by the Northern Expedition Army!!
"Two minutes ago, it was sent from Beijing. It was sent to the whole country. The telegram said that Zhang Lin was slightly injured, but it was very likely that he had been successfully assassinated by the Japanese!!”
Zhang Zhizhong, the teaching director of the National Revolutionary Army Party School, said that with the success of the northern expedition, Nanjing would become the political center of the Republic of China. Zhang Lin's Feng faction was stationed outside the pass. Although they had a large number of troops and a strong industry, the combat strength of the army was not enough to withstand a single blow. In the past few wars, if there was no external intervention, the Feng faction would end up in failure!!
After receiving the telegram, Jiang Zhongzheng's eyes darkened. He was curious. Zhang Ze, who generated electricity, would not have been so powerful according to his usual personality. Nanjing had collected a lot of information about Zhang Ze. This Young Marshal of Northeast China, the future heir, had received new ideas and education. He was able to accept the unification of the country. However, Jiang Zhongzheng eventually blamed all these reasons on Zhang Lin!!
When a person was extremely angry, they could do anything!!
"F * ck, this Japanese is really bold to assassinate Zhang Lin. If the Feng army in the northeast really rebelled, the decades of Japanese planning in the northeast would be ruined!!”
Jiang Zhongzheng didn't seem to agree with Japan's risky military action. Killing Zhang Lin would only make the northeast Fengjun even crazier. If they were desperate, they would even jump over a wall, let alone 200,000 Fengjun…
However, his anger was real. After all, the Japanese were outsiders, and Zhang Lin was a citizen. It was natural for the Japanese to be audacious to assassinate the head of state…
"Commissioner, is Nanjing going to send a reply?”
Jiang Zhongzheng said slowly.
" Call for an emergency military meeting immediately. Gather all the higher-ups of the national army in Nanjing…"
If the 200,000 soldiers of the Feng army really attacked the Japanese Kwantung Army in Northeast China because of Zhang Lin's assassination, perhaps everything would change…
At the same time, Yan Xishan in Shanxi, Li Zongren in the southwest, and Feng Yuxiang in the northwest all received Zhang Ze's nationwide call. Whether the Japanese had succeeded in assassinating Zhang Lin or not, now that the matter was exposed, the outcome was obvious!
First, with Zhang Lin dead, the northeast would be leaderless and chaotic. The Japanese's ambition to invade the northeast would also succeed. Their eldest son, Zhang, would quickly rise to power. However, because his foundation was unstable, the northeast's political situation would also fall into chaos. The Japanese would also have the opportunity to attack the northeast…
Secondly, if Zhang Lin didn't die, the northeast would launch a crazy attack on the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast under the murderous intent of this bandit warlord, and the war with Japan would break out in advance!!
No matter what the outcome was, the country would not be peaceful in the coming days. Perhaps with Zhang Lin's death, the Generalissimo in Nanjing could truly bring the northeast into the national army system…
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhongzheng's eyes suddenly lit up. If Yan Xishan, Li Zongren, and Feng Yuxiang really went to war, they would definitely not be a match for the National Revolutionary Army. Before this, Jiang Zhongzheng was most worried about the northeast. With Zhang Lin around, the northeast would borrow the power of Japan and the Soviet Union. Outside Dingding Pass, who could touch the northeast outside the pass...
But if Zhang Lin was no longer around, everything might change…
The victory of the Northern Expedition had completely wiped out the rule of Beiyang. With Zhang Lin's withdrawal from the capital, the Beiyang era had come to an end. Just when everyone thought that Jiang Zhongzheng of Nanjing would have a high chance of ruling the country in the coming era, the assassination attempt by the Japanese in the northeast was like the fuse of World War I. It pushed the already unstable Far East region into a giant molotov cocktail, and war was about to break out…
