Although he already knew that the Japanese garrison chief of staff, Hisashi Saito, was waiting at the door, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang did not look anxious at all. He picked up the tea cup on the table and drank more leisurely than before.
As the chief of staff, Yang Yuting was also sitting by the side at this time, but he seemed not to be so calm. Seeing Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Dashuai looking calm and relaxed, he looked at the watch in his arms, and he saw that Japanese Chief of Staff Tsune Saito was outside.
After waiting for half an hour, Yang Yuting finally couldn't help it and said to Zhang Zuolin and Dashuai Zhang: "Commander, look at this time...does Saito..."
Zhang Dashuai drank tea, glanced at Yang Yuting and said, "Yu Ting, how long did you wait when you went to see Saito yesterday?"
Yang Yuting didn't know how Dashuai Zhang would know about this matter, so he said embarrassedly: "Forty minutes."
Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang smiled and said: "Then why are you in a hurry? He asked you to wait for forty minutes, and I asked him to wait for an hour. It's a courtesy! When have you ever seen me, Lao Zhang, doing business at a loss? It was absolutely impossible at that time
Yes! Yu Ting, we need to let the Japanese see our sincerity. After all, we are still cooperating with them, but we still have an attitude that we should have. Sometimes, we cannot let people look down upon us!"
After Zhang Dashuai said these words, he didn't look at the unnatural expression on Yang Yuting's face. He shouted to the guard outside the door: "Come here, go and see if Saito, the old boy, is gone!" The guard didn't.
Dare to be lazy and run away in a hurry.
Saito came with a mission this time, which was to seek justice for the four Japanese who died. Not to mention his nephew Yamamoto among them. This time he came to fight for the "hatred of the country and the family".
He was trying to figure it out with Zhang Dashuai, but he didn't expect Zhang Zuolin, the bandit leader, to dare not let him in. Saito was so angry that he jumped up and down.
He originally wanted to force his way in, but when he ignored the warning of the guards next to him and took two steps forward, the guards loaded their bullets without hesitation and looked like they were going to shoot if he didn't step back.
Gun. Saito did not expect that Zhang Zuolin's soldiers were such "bandits". He also knew that without Zhang Zuolin's instruction, how could they have such courage.
He couldn't get in, so he could only wait outside. After waiting for half an hour, he really couldn't stand the humiliation anymore. He wanted to turn around and go back, but then he thought, even if he went back, the military department would do it for this.
Is it necessary to start a war with Zhang Zuolin over this matter? It is obviously impossible. At present, the only way is to negotiate with Zhang Zuolin. If he cannot see Zhang Zuolin, he will return without success, which will make those guys in the military look down on him even more.
Can't leave.
Saito Hengyan endured the bad breath in his mouth and waited humiliatingly for an hour in front of Marshal Zhang's door. Then a guard slowly walked out and said: "Mr. Saito, you have been waiting for a long time. Our Marshal has invited you."
, follow me!" He said and walked away. Seeing such an arrogant guard, Saito was about to get angry, but thinking that this was Zhang Zuolin's territory, he had to swallow his anger and followed him two steps closer.
Go up.
Following the guards to the hall, I saw Zhang Zuolin sitting on the chair above and drinking tea leisurely. He didn't think about what the guards said, "He is busy with military affairs and can't spare time." Seeing Saito Heng come in, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang
He didn't say anything, and still leaned on the chair and pretended to be asleep. However, Yang Yuting next to him stood up and stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Saito and said: "Mr. Saito, why are you free to come here today? Come on, please
Please have a seat!”
Saito had no time to argue with a hypocritical person like Yang Yuting, but when he turned around and wanted to sit down, he discovered that there was no spare chair in the hall. Where could he sit? Wasn't this deliberately embarrassing himself?
Teng Heng snorted coldly and turned his head to the other side.
Yang Yuting seemed to be reacting at this time, and suddenly realized: "Oh, Mr. Saito, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been busy with the military affairs for the past two days, and I made mistakes while busy. I didn't take good care of you, and I lost my etiquette. I hope you won't blame me."
As he said that, the guard next to Chao scolded: "What are you waiting for? Didn't you see Mr. Saito is still standing? Move the chair. You are so used to it. You don't know the rules anymore. Go quickly!" Guard
He agreed, lowered his head and ran away.
At this time, Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang, who were resting on the chair, seemed to be awakened. They sat up all of a sudden. Seeing Saito Heng in front of them, they quickly asked: "Hey, Mr. Saito is here. You are a rare visitor. Why don't you
Show me your seat to Mr. Saito, where’s the tea? Why don’t you serve tea!”
Saito Tsune watched the "performances" of Zhang Zuolin and Hu Yangyuting. He knew that these two people were deliberately embarrassing him, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to endure it. His patience had almost reached its limit, and he went straight to the point.
Said: "Dashuai Zhang, Director Yang, I'm not here to drink tea today. I don't know what happened last night. Do you all know?"
Zhang Zuolin, Marshal Zhang and Yang Yuting looked at each other, and the question finally came up. Yang Yuting said: "What happened last night? Several things happened last night. The bank in Fengtian said that in addition to corruption, which was reported this morning, there are also
A drunken soldier broke a street lamp on the street. Oh, by the way, a cow was stolen from a house outside the city. I wonder which one you are talking about?"
Saito Tsune knew that this was a deliberate attempt to evade the topic, so he said directly: "Dashuai Zhang, we all know it well, so let's stop talking about these nonsense. Four Japanese died on the streets of Fengtian last night. They were killed with knives."
Damn it, I still hope that Marshal Zhang and Director Yang will give an explanation to the Empire of Japan, otherwise..." Saito Tsune snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Zhang Zuolin and Marshal Zhang's eyes flashed with a cold light. He hated others threatening him the most. This Saito actually dared to scare him with the Japanese Empire in the Marshal's mansion. If a tiger doesn't show its power, don't you think I, Zhang Zuolin, am afraid of you as a Japanese devil?
He said gloomily: "Mr. Saito, if there is no explanation, otherwise... what will happen?"
Saito originally wanted to solve the problem quickly, but he didn't expect that Zhang Zuolin would not accept this trick at all. Now it was over, and he was completely stiff. He was silent for a while, and then said helplessly: "This matter...
The Empire of Japan must be given an explanation!"
Zhang Zuolin smiled and said: "Mr. Saito, if you Japanese people died on my territory, we will naturally be responsible, but this has our laws. Don't worry, we will investigate in accordance with the law.
One day, this case will come to light and the murderer will be brought to justice. Mr. Saito, are you satisfied with my answer?"
