"China and Japan entered into this treaty in order to maintain the eternal welfare of East Asia and to support each other.
Article 1: Since China and Japan support each other and other countries have important diplomatic events in East Asia, the two countries should first notify each other of the agreement.
Article 2 In order to facilitate the coordinated operations between China and Japan, the naval and army weapons, ammunition, and equipment used by China should be of the same type as those used by Japan.
Article 3 If the Chinese Navy employs foreigners for the same purpose as the previous paragraph, it should mainly use Japanese soldiers.
Article 4: To ensure the political cooperation between China and Japan, the Chinese government and local offices should mainly employ Japanese when hiring foreigners.
…”
In the tavern, the storyteller stopped talking about the Three Kingdoms, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, and Water Margin and Journey to the West, and changed his career to become a political commentator. After reading the above, he said to all the audience: "Everyone, everyone understands, right?
This is how many benefits the "Sino-Japanese Covenant" signed by Sun Wen and the Japanese promised to the Japanese. Everyone has heard it. This thing is much more powerful than President Yuan Da's 21. In a word, the signing
If we lose this thing, the country will be finished, and we will all be slaves of the Japanese!"
The storyteller shook his head and sighed, and said: "As the saying goes, it is difficult to paint the bones of a dragon or a tiger. You know the person, the face, but not the heart. There is a saying that the Duke of Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, and when Wang Mang was humble and respectful, everyone in this world had countless masks, and they tore them apart.
One after another, until the end, it is really difficult to tell the truth from the false. Take Sun Wen for example, in all these years, when has he ever opened his mouth, it has not been for the country and the people, and when has it not been benevolence, justice and morality, but what he said is so nice.
, it’s better to see what he did.”
"Sir, do you think this Sun Wen can be so crazy? According to this covenant, wouldn't he become the son-emperor of the Japanese?"
The storyteller smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip leisurely. Then he said: "The emperor is also an emperor, which is better than having nothing now. Isn't it just to fight for power and gain? Besides, people in Japan are
If you have a family and have a Japanese daughter-in-law, even if you are a Japanese son-in-law, there is nothing wrong with treating your father-in-law!"
"Sir, what you said is too damaging. A son-in-law with half a son-in-law is still talking about him as an emperor in a roundabout way?"
The audience below all burst into laughter. These things are being talked about everywhere in China's wine, rice and tea shops. After all, some things are so exciting that people can't help but pay attention.
After breaking through the city of Guangzhou, a large amount of Japanese arms, rifles and artillery were found. They were all transported in front of the people of Guangzhou, and everyone could see them clearly. No one could deny them.
In addition to arms, a large number of documents were discovered one after another. In addition, Feng Yong and the others arrested a large number of party members and took out a large number of useful things from their mouths. How did Sun Wen make friends with Japanese dignitaries?
, how did he get a family in Japan, and how much aid did he receive from Japan in total.
In addition to collusion with foreign countries, a large number of domestic issues have been exposed. For example, who killed Tao Chengzhang, the leader of the Liberation Association, who killed the famous journalist Huang Yuanyong, and even some of Song Jiaoren and Chen Qimei
Suspicious points have been found in the case.
Originally, these assassinations and these struggles were the focus of controversy among the people at that time. At first, Lao Yuan was focused on expanding his power and even ascended the throne as emperor. As a result, his character became bad. Therefore, all problems were pushed to him, and Lao Yuan became unable to argue.
But now that these fatal things have been revealed, everyone is thinking that Sun Wen may be less of a thing than Yuan Shikai. If Lao Yuan has some villainous behavior, then Sun Wen is a complete hypocrite and a true lackey!
With the disclosure of correspondence and documents, as well as the confessions of members of the Democratic Party, more and more evidence points to Sun Wen, the former leader of the Revolutionary Party.
Trust is getting lower and lower, and even the Democratic Party has a tendency to become a street rat.
All the members who originally joined the Democratic Party voluntarily quit, otherwise just the contemptuous looks from around would make people want to crawl into the cracks of the ground. This is not only the case at home, but also a large amount of propaganda that is not conducive to Sun Wen has appeared overseas, especially
It set off a huge wave among overseas Chinese.
In order to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, overseas Chinese provided Sun Wen with a large amount of financial assistance, but as a result, a lot of the money was not clear. Tao Chengzhang accused Sun Wen of embezzling donations. In the end, Sun Wen became angry and sent someone to assassinate Tao Chengzhang.
.
There are also many overseas Chinese who question Sun Wen, but they have no evidence, so not many people are convinced. But it is different now, the evidence is right in front of you, and you can't help but not believe it.
In the future, it will be very difficult for the Democratic Party to use overseas as its base, raise funds on a large scale, and trick young people into joining them. This propaganda war is tantamount to cutting off the roots of the Democratic Party at home and abroad. It cannot be said to be ruthless.
Spicy and decisive.
Feng Yong and others have completed their tasks. The key criminals of the Kuomintang and the captured evidence have been temporarily handed over to Wu Peifu. How to interrogate depends on Beiyang's wishes. After all, Beiyang has carried out the crime for the Kuomintang for so many years.
After a lot of infamy, now that he has a chance to get it back, Wu Peifu will not be soft-hearted!
Of course, Zhang Tinglan still had to fulfill his promise to provide arms and weapons to the warlords in the south, but Feng Yong and the others no longer needed to take care of this matter, so all the Feng troops left Guangzhou and rushed back to Fengtian as quickly as possible.
Although the troop dispatch this time was limited, it also greatly trained the team, especially the engineering troops, and enriched combat experience in different terrains, which will be of great help to Fengjun's future operations.
Zhang Tinglan personally led a team to welcome Feng Yong and others back. After the meeting, Feng Yong delivered a check to Zhang Tinglan.
"Commander, this is 5 million military expenditures given to Sun Wen by the Japanese. As a result, Sun Wen was captured by us before he could squander it. How to deal with it is up to the commander-in-chief to decide."
Feng Yong said, and delivered the check to Zhang Tinglan. Of course, they seized not only the check, but also a large number of weapons. These weapons were different from Fengjun's standard, and Fengjun didn't look down on the Japanese rags.
Simply leave it all to Beiyang.
Zhang Tinglan took the check and nodded slightly: "This money can't be wasted. Let's invest it in Yanchang Mine. We can't just import oil from the United States. We should also learn to refine oil ourselves and develop the petrochemical industry."
When Feng Yong heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Commander, I have been looking forward to producing our own oil for a long time. Now there are more and more aircraft in the Air Force. The daily training consumption alone is a considerable amount. Just by purchasing
, definitely not."
"Yes, Feng Yuxiang has entered the northwest, and our personnel have followed suit. I believe that the oil problem will be solved soon."
Although Sun Wen was not caught or killed, at least he was made famous, which has achieved the goal. It will be difficult for the Democratic Party to occupy a place in the future power map.
A huge hidden danger has been eliminated. Zhang Tinglan is of course extremely happy.
"Everyone, the power of the Democratic Party has been basically eliminated. Even if there is a chance to come back, it will take a long time. We must seize the rare opportunities at home and abroad to develop well and lay a solid foundation. We urgently need strength."
Zhang Tinglan is already arranging the next task. In terms of the army, Fengjun needs a large-scale refit and training to completely build a modern army. In terms of the economy, the main task is to consolidate the industrial foundation and increase production capacity. Zhang Tinglan
A goal has been set, that is, within three years, the number of Japanese people in the fields of major industrial products such as steel must reach 60%.
Counting from the Meiji Restoration, Japan has experienced decades of accumulation. It is still very difficult to easily surpass it. However, Japan is an island country with fatal resource shortcomings and must rely on the sea lifeline. In wartime, it will
It could be by disturbing the sea route, blocking the necks of the Japanese, and hanging the little Japan.
Of course, there is a premise for this, which is that Fengjun's industrial production capacity must reach 60% of the Japanese. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Fengjun to gain the upper hand in a war of attrition at sea.
From nothing in the past to the present, although the Japanese are still far ahead, Fengjun can already see their backs. This change makes Fengjun particularly excited.
The celebration banquet also became extremely lively. Almost everyone was drunk. Even Jiang Baili, who rarely drank much, was drunk. The entire handsome manor was full of laughter.
After a while, Zhang Tinglan finally regained some energy, and Yang Yuting came to see him: "I'm sorry, does a hangover feel bad?"
"Indeed, I have a severe headache. I hope Lin Ge can send me some good news, otherwise my head will hurt even more!"
"Good thing, guaranteed to be a good thing!" Yang Yuting laughed and said: "There is news from Feng Yuxiang that his troops have entered Gansu. Just a few days ago, they just wiped out a group of local armed forces. There were two
More than a thousand people have won a good start."
"Yes, I didn't expect Feng Yuxiang's knife to be quite sharp. Does he have any requests?"
Yang Yuting laughed and said: "He didn't say what he wanted in the telegram, but in my opinion, he still wanted arms. He mentioned the threat of the Ma's cavalry in the northwest more than once, so give him some machine guns, this thing
It is easiest to massacre the cavalry."
Zhang Tinglan has always been very concerned about the northwest. Since the late Qing Dynasty, the central government has basically lost control of the northwest. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Local ethnic and religious forces are entangled together, and it has become a mess.
However, the northwest has a decisive value in the entire strategic chessboard of China. Of course, Zhang Tinglan hopes to solve this problem quickly.
After Feng Yuxiang led his troops into the northwest, he certainly aroused the vigilance of Ma Jiajun, but they did not dare to take any drastic action. After all, on the surface they still had to respect the appointment of the central government, but secretly they also kept in touch and discussed together.
Ways to deal with Feng Yuxiang.
Naturally, Ma Jiajun's actions could not be hidden from Feng Yuxiang. He had the support of Feng Jun, so he would not be afraid of locals like Ma Jiajun. After arriving in Lanzhou, the first order Feng Yuxiang announced was a gun ban. Public security in the northwest must be strengthened and all illegal
Firearms and weapons were confiscated.
When Tongzhi revolted, the Han people suffered so much loss because they did not have the tradition of hiding weapons privately, so they were massacred. Feng Yuxiang's first order when he came was to ban guns, in order to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again.
Obviously, this policy immediately hit the Ma Jiajun's sore spot. More than two-thirds of their troops are not regular troops, but local militia groups. These militia groups usually do not receive military pay. Only when fighting and grabbing spoils will they be distributed.
Therefore, these militia groups are often more militant and crazy than the regular army. Feng Yuxiang's gun ban was a blow to these militia groups. Once accepted, the force of the militia groups was directly abolished. This is what the Ma Jiajun does no matter what.
Unacceptable.
It's just that they didn't know the details of Feng Yuxiang, so they didn't jump out to oppose Feng Yuxiang. Instead, they encouraged a relatively small force to take the lead in the opposition. Who knew that Feng Yuxiang was also a ruthless person, and directly sent troops to kill this group.
All the people were wiped out, more than two thousand people, and not a single person was left alive.
When Ma Jiajun sent people over to take a look, there were only corpses left on the ground, and there were many vicious wolves tearing them apart. There were stumps and broken legs everywhere, and it was like hell. Even Ma Jiajun, who was used to seeing life and death, was shocked.
I felt my scalp was tingling for a while.
Since this conflict, the conflict between Ma Jiajun and Feng Yuxiang has become more and more serious. Both sides are actively deploying their troops and generals, and they are in a desperate situation.
"It's better to fight early than to fight late. It's better to fight hard than to fight small. Let Feng Yuxiang free his hands and feet. No matter how much he consumes, I will make up for it all for him!"
When Yang Yuting heard this, he smiled and said: "I'm sorry, being so generous to Feng Yuxiang is not your style, isn't it?"
"I have to do this. The pace of our replacement is getting faster and faster. In the next step, the army will use a large number of vehicles. In addition, the navy and air force will also consume a lot of fuel. If we cannot produce it ourselves and just rely on imports, it will not only be expensive, but also
Once it's war time, it's easy to be cut off, and once your neck is strangled, it's not a pleasant feeling."
"Well, I'm really thoughtful, but I can't just give Feng Yuxiang something. This guy has also surrendered many people and is a complete rebel. We should send a group of officers there to teach them how to use new weapons in name, but secretly control them.
This troop."
Zhang Tinglan also immediately nodded in agreement. The northwest issue finally had some clues. He only hoped that the Ma Jiajun could be eradicated quickly and the hidden danger of separatism was eliminated.
Just as Zhang Tinglan finished the layout, Tao Jiping came to the commander's house with a cheerful face. As soon as they met, he said with a smile: "Commander, we have recently developed a tank that uses a 45mm caliber main gun and weighs
It has exceeded 13 tons, and its overall performance has been greatly improved compared to previous tanks. After my observation, compared with neighboring countries, this tank has an overwhelming advantage and can definitely become a new generation of Iron Fist."
The tank is known as the king of land warfare, and it is also the weapon that Zhang Tinglan pays most attention to. Now that there is a new breakthrough, he is also overjoyed!
"Minister Tao, go check out the actual situation first. Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a run. If it's really good, prepare for a large-scale change of clothes." (To be continued...)
