Chapter 384: Sun Wen's Intention
The wars of the Tohoku and Rì Ben sparked more and more waves with the propaganda of various countries.
rì Ben Tokyo.
The Emperor's Palace. The entire hall was filled with the roar of the emperor's rage, the four treasures of the study were thrown everywhere, and some of the confidential documents in the rì本zhèng fǔ were scattered everywhere. Emperor Taisho Moto, dressed in a bright yellow robe, was dressed in a gruff garment and roaring, holding a dozen crumpled newspapers in his hand. The news of the rì war in the above reports is endless, and it is all news that is unfavorable to rì Ben.
"Terauchi-kun, what the hell is going on? You're not saying that this matter has been suppressed, why are major countries in the world reporting it? Those American reporters also gave a detailed report on the incident, how did you do it? Emperor Taisho roared at Prime Minister Masatsuki Terauchi.
Terauchi Masashi said with a frightened face: "Your Majesty the Emperor, our people have monitored those American reporters throughout the whole process, it is impossible for them to know such details, these news must have leaked from the Northeast Army of China." The damned Shina people have no bushido gods, and they shamelessly trumpet the results of the night attack. It's shameless! ”
Standing not far from him, Marshal Aritomo Yamachi, who had a white beard, was closing his eyes and recuperating, as if His Majesty's anger had not been heard in his heart at all. There are still many veterans since the Meiji Restoration, but they respect these two people, and only these two people will be invited by Emperor Taisho to counsel the military at important court meetings. This time, the Imperial Army made such a big mistake, and the huge prestige accumulated since the Meiji Restoration was seriously provoked. As one of the founders of the Imperial Army, Yamaguchi Aritomo was naturally the focus of the Emperor's inquiry. It's a pity that Yamaguchi Youpeng is not stupid, knowing that talking at this time will only become a bird, and it will be used to withstand the emperor's wrath.
"Humph! No matter what happens, you must respond and try to minimize the harm to the Great Rì Empire. The Emperor gasped.
"Hay!" The temple did not dare to slack off, and quickly replied.
Seeing the boss deflated, the officials of the Terauchi Masatsuki's cabinet lowered their heads one by one, doing this, one is to avoid attracting the attention of the emperor and become His Majesty's punching bag like their own boss, and the other is not to embarrass their own boss too much, otherwise, they will not have a good time in the next rì.
"Marshal of Shanxi, the prestige created by the countless martyrs of the Great Rì Imperial Army must not be ruined in the hands of the small Zhina place. We want to take revenge and completely wipe out the Northeast Army of China. Emperor Taisho said to Marshal Aritomo Yamagu, who was sleeping with his eyes closed.
Seeing the emperor call his name, Shan Shan Youpeng couldn't pretend anymore, so he could only raise his head and respond: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the Great Imperial Army will definitely not give up." It's just that the form of the Northeast is a little bad now. However, His Majesty the Emperor is assured that the Imperial Army will definitely get out of the predicament as soon as possible and launch a powerful attack on the Northeast Army of China. ”
"Stuck in a dilemma? What kind of predicament would hinder the heroic and invincible Imperial Army? Taisho Emperor God Sèyīn asked Shen.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, after the Korean army entered the territory northeast of China, the small units of the China Army began to constantly attack the logistics and baggage units of the Great Imperial Army. Now it has caused great losses to the Imperial Army, and it has also had a serious impact on the supply of materials to the front. Shan County Youpeng said helplessly.
"Yaga! The Chinese army is shameless. Marshal of Shanxi, the Great Rì Imperial Army could not go on in such incompetence. I suggest that we can open up new battlefields. The northeast of China had just captured Shandong, and it was when the internal forces were weak, and our large imperial army could use the Qingdao garrison as the vanguard and penetrate directly into the capital of Shandong. With the assistance of the navy, it is sure that Shandong can be taken with a devastating momentum and one of the arms of the northeast of China can be severed. Emperor Taisho said with some excitement. Although Shandong's resources are not as abundant as those in Northeast China. However, Shandong has a large population, and the North China Plain is the largest granary in China. If Shandong is occupied, it is an island country, the domestic arable land area is limited, and a large part of the grain needs to be imported, if Shandong can be occupied and used as the granary of the Great Rì Empire, it can definitely greatly reduce the pressure on the Great Rì Empire. And in the era of war, food is the hard currency.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, before we started the war, we had an agreement with Britain and France that the Imperial Army would not move on the land in the Shina Pass. Will the sending of troops to Shandong now cause protests from the British? Masaki Terauchi interjected.
"This time, that time. The Northeast is not the force that can be easily annexed by the Great Rì Imperial Army. Nor did the British necessarily want another powerful state in the Far East. What's more, war is all about doing anything. We learned this from China, and it is better to use it on them. Emperor Taisho said without hesitation.
Yama Prefecture Youpeng pondered for a moment and felt that what the emperor said had some truth. The combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army exceeded the expectations of all parties. This change in the balance of power, the British may not still maintain their original ideas. In addition, Britain now has a request for the Great Rìben Empire, not the Great Rìben Empire for the British. This change in the master-slave relationship has also changed the mentality of rìben. After all, rì is originally a country in Asia, and it has been the leader of Asia for a long time. In this world, a person, like a country, is used to being the boss. Naturally, I don't want someone to shout at me on top of my head.
"Your Excellency, I hope you can come up with a plan for sending troops as soon as possible. The inaction of the Imperial Army had seriously affected the reputation of the Empire. I hope that you will always put the honor of the Empire first. Emperor Taisho reprimanded loudly.
"Hay!"
Northeast Marshal's Mansion.
A middle-aged man with a young man came to the door of the heavily guarded young marshal's mansion. The young man behind the middle-aged man looked around with a wary expression. As if worried that someone would be bad for middle-aged people.
"Trouble to report, the old man is visiting!" The middle-aged man hugged his fists and said to the guard in front of the young marshal's mansion.
"Sir, please! The young marshal has an order, if the gentleman comes, he can go directly to the side hall and wait without notifying! At this time, a porter came over and said respectfully. As the gatehouse of the first province in Northeast China, it is natural to have a pair of outstanding eyesight. The appearance of middle-aged people is very memorable, after all, he is a national celebrity, and he has been on the front page of the newspaper many times. Although the newspapers of this era were limited to printing problems and had poor clarity, large bust photographs were still able to make out the general appearance.
"Trouble!" The middle-aged man nodded. Then he walked into the young marshal's mansion proudly.
In Feng Yong's war room, after receiving the news of the middle-aged man's visit, Feng Yong was instinctively stunned. Although he had known for a long time that Sun Wen had come to the Northeast, he stayed in an inn in Changchūn. For his safety, Feng Yong also sent a team of plainclothes to protect his safety. is afraid that something will happen to him in the Northeast. After all, for such a sensitive political figure, an accident in the Northeast can cause a monstrous wave. At present, Feng Yong doesn't want to cause this trouble.
Feng Yong walked into the living room, and Sun Wen was drinking tea. I saw Feng Yong come in. The middle-aged man stood up and stretched out his hand with a smile on his face. The moment the young man behind Sun Wen saw Feng Yong, his body tensed involuntarily.
Looking at that familiar face, Feng Yong was still a little excited, after all, although the middle-aged man in front of him was depressed, his reputation among the people was still very heavy. And the new běi jīngzhèng fǔ, which has just risen, really needs that kind of reputation. Therefore, before he was unclear about his purpose, Feng Yong could only treat it with a good face.
"Mr. Sun, I have admired the name for a long time! When I saw it today, I really had a brilliant demeanor. Feng Yong said with a smile.
"Young Marshal Feng is polite! Sun is already old. is not as good as Feng Shaoshuai's heroic youth. Sun Wen also said with a smile on his face.
"You may be seated!" Feng Yong smiled. Although Feng Yong can't be said to be a politician now, he won't be fluttering because of a few words of praise from others. Since the person who praised him was a national celebrity, he was a famous 'father of the nation' in later generations.
"I don't know what Mr. Sun came to the Northeast all the way to the Northeast?" Feng Yong said straight to the point. Now that the military situation in the northeast is urgent, Feng Yong has no time to fight Sun Wen. In addition, compared with people like Sun Wen who have been up and down for a long time, Feng Yong is still a little younger.
"Sun originally came to the Northeast to be able to meet with Feng Shaoshuai, and by the way, to see the customs of the Northeast. This goal has now been achieved, and Feng Shaoshuai is worthy of being a world-moving figure, and the three eastern provinces have undergone earth-shaking changes in just two years. Although the background is a little shallow, if the time comes, the Northeast will inevitably become the most prosperous and prosperous place in China. Sun Wen sincerely admired.
"Mr. Sun has won the prize! This young marshal is just doing his job! Feng Yong smiled, although the three eastern provinces were developing rapidly, they were far from meeting Feng Yong's expectations. Now that it has experienced a series of wars, the Northeast lacks opportunities for development.
"Young Marshal Feng, I don't know what you think about the war between Rì?" Sun Wen's words changed and asked in a deep voice.
"Mr. Sun, the enemy has already attacked. There is no reason why this young marshal should not fight. The war with Xiao Rì Ben must be fought if it has been fought, and it must be fought if it cannot be fought! The firmness in Feng Yong's words made Sun Wen frown a little.
"Young Marshal Feng, I believe you can see that although the Northeast is developing rapidly, it has a complete industrial system, a powerful navy and army, and the level of science and technology is not comparable to that of the Northeast, in this case, the Northeast can occupy the upper hand for a while. If the confrontation continues for a long time, it will be a disaster for the Northeast. I hope that Feng Shaoshuai can consider this. ”
Feng Yong's face couldn't help but be a little gloomy, looking at Sun Wen's impassioned face, he said in a deep voice, "What advice does Mr. Sun have?" ”
"Sun Mou is not talented, has been in exile for many years, and has some connection with this country. As long as Feng Shaoshuai is willing, Sun Mo is willing to run from it to facilitate peace talks between the two countries. Sun Wen said confidently.
"Peace talks?" Feng Yong's brows furrowed even deeper!
