Chapter 1068: The Japanese Army Retreats

Since the relations between the two sides have been involved in the realm of diplomacy, they have been bargaining with each other, asking for a sky-high price, and paying back the money on the ground; under the efforts of diplomatic mediation and the persuasion of Britain, France, and the United States, the two sides have finally reached a basic intention.

The Northwest agreed to the departure of the Japanese, but there was a premise, the Japanese must release 600,000 people in advance, and the Japanese side still had some concerns about this, but under the pressure of Britain, France, and the United States, especially looking at the degree of attention paid to the Northwest, there is not much difference between 700,000 and 100,000, and it is nothing more than a question of how many personnel are lost.

Under the premise that the army of one million people controls 700,000 civilians, especially supplies or something, it is not a good thing to grab the food from these people's homes in the long run, especially those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, women and children, they have prepared rooms for them as much as possible, but unfortunately the capacity of the small county town is limited, and some of them have fallen ill, and after a long period of detention, maybe a few will die.

It's okay to die a few less, this is normal at any time, even if it is a city, every day, or every few days, someone will die, these can't all be put on the heads of the Japanese, but the Northwest unceremoniously said, a dead man wants 100 Japanese soldiers to exchange, really a few more deaths, can there be any left, God knows if the Northwest will be executed as scheduled.

600,000 people were handed over, and Japan was quite decisive, because in the past few days, thousands of people have fallen ill, and some of them are quite serious. The Northwest had already made preparations, and a number of tents were arranged in the rear of the Northwest Army. In addition, medical personnel and various medicines were urgently transferred from the northwest to ensure the safety of the people.

Afterwards. After a little recovery, the personnel will be sent back in batches and sorted. Those who want to go home can go home, and those who don't want to go home, whether it is Qingdao or the northwest, can find a place to properly resettle, which is guaranteed to be done in the northwest.

When 600,000 people completed the handover smoothly, the critically ill ones were taken over by Northwest doctors. Cai Ye is relieved, the threat of the northwest is outside, and Japan has not abused the people too much, which is probably a great luck in misfortune, but he did not deliberately take care of it, at most he paid attention to some of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and did not let too many people die unnaturally. Fortunately, they are all some respiratory diseases, penicillin newly produced in the northwest. It was quite useful, and most of the critical illness numbers were turned around.

Journalists from the Northwest, in the concentration camps, took some pictures. Whether it is kept in the file or published in the Northwest, the Northwest Army carefully monitors the Japanese. And according to the agreement, the encirclement of one side was released.

Outside the port of Tianjin. A large number of merchant ships of the great powers have arrived. Since the Japanese were allowed to leave, they would generously let go of Tianjin Port, give them better boarding conditions, and part of the Northwest Army plus the stationing of special forces would not be a problem in Tianjin's protection.

Rao is so, Duan Qirui is also like a great enemy, in the process of fighting for Tianjin, Duan Qirui personally saw the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, in the team battle, even when it was on the verge of despair, the courage and broken faith of the Japanese broke out, sounded the alarm for him, weapons do not represent everything, soldiers are the most important, more than 1 million Japanese troops, if it is the premise of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, Tianjin may not be safe, and it will be captured if it is not careful.

It is a foregone conclusion that they will join the Northwest Military Academy, and they will be arranged for six months to 10 months to study in the Northwest Military Academy, and they will be psychologically prepared for this, and the military system in the Northwest is completely different from that of Beiyang, even if they become senior officers, they also need to be familiar with it, but then, they will enter the staff post rotation, depending on the distribution of the situation, so that they can not be sure.

They know that the staff officer is the most important post in the northwest, and if they want to go further, it is almost impossible to do so without the performance of the staff officer.

It's a pity that Duan Qirui and others are not familiar with the military system in the northwest, and they just think that the northwest is shirking, so they try to perform as well as possible, otherwise, Tianjin City will be captured by the Japanese, and they will not have the face to lead the troops.

From top to bottom, they are vigilant, the troops are divided into double shifts, such as the enemy on the head of Tianjin, to prevent the Japanese army from sneak attack, but everything is Duan Qirui is blindly worried, at this moment Japan, also has no intention of continuing to fight, has long been afraid of the northwest, if there is no way to escape, the Japanese may muster up the courage to fight with the northwest, but now, the road has been opened, from top to bottom, no one wants to go to war, when the northwest army retreated from the port, began to continue to board the ship in Tianjin port.

Tianjin Port, formed a magnificent scene, all the berths, all opened, a neatly arranged long line, lined up in front of every merchant ship, most of them are soldiers and some small amount of supplies, as for the munitions, the impossible in Tianjin City, either destroyed, or captured, as for the materials carried with them, some bulky ones, directly transferred to the American warehouses in the concession, at this point, safety is still guaranteed, as far as the current experience is concerned, the northwest is unlikely to tear the face with the great powers to do it.

Batches of ships, when the Japanese were halfway gone, according to the agreement, Japan once again released the civilian prisoners, and returned 50,000 people, the old and weak have been put back, and the rest are young and strong, so the speed of handover is faster. Next, when the last group of Japanese troops boarded the ship, the remaining Japanese commander, Prince Zairen accompanied by Zhu Erdian, finally handed over 3,000 civilians, these are the strongest young adults, so far, most of the people have been handed over, and in the end there is not much loss, there are a few old and weak because of the Japanese army and died, the northwest side did not care too much, the previous 1:100 also just asked the Japanese not to attack the civilians, the total number of 700,000, including a large number of children and more than 60 years old, There is also a normal mortality rate every day.

Zairen was also worried about this, so he pulled Zhu Erdian together, and saw that Cai Yi and the others didn't care, so he breathed a sigh of relief, a million troops were floating on the sea, and it was impossible for him to stay too much, fortunately, there were British destroyers, even if they set off at night and a day, they could catch up, in his opinion, they were already on the merchant ships, and they were merchant ships belonging to Britain, France and the United States, so they should be safe.

In the Bohai Bay, under the surface of the sea, a large number of submarines are concentrated in the waterway, in the periscope, the traces of all kinds of merchant ships, are under the monitoring of submarines, and there is actually a plan in the northwest, which is to send all the Japanese troops, including the merchant ships of Britain, France and the United States, to the bottom of the sea.

This is a solution to the problem once and for all, and in a sense, this is a double-edged sword, first, the northwest will no longer have any buffer room, and there will be no other way than to immediately announce its accession to the Central Powers and declare war on Britain, France, and the United States.

It's not that it can't be chosen, but the current state of the sea, around the merchant ships transporting the Japanese army, there are actually more than 100 destroyers, of which 53 belong to the United States, obviously, after the submarine in the northwest has made great achievements, all countries have paid attention to submarines, and if the submarine in the northwest attacks, it is very likely that the Japanese army will be sent to the bottom of the sea, but the loss of the submarine will also be quite large.

In the end, the submarine command of the Navy vetoed the plan of forcible action, and one by one, the submarines, under the surface of the sea, slowly turned around and went to sea in another direction, and their destination was the Jiangyin base in the far south.

Millions of Japanese troops have been let go, and in the next half a year, there will be no war with Japan, Japan needs time to lick its wounds, and by the way, strengthen its navy, according to the intelligence bureau from abroad, after this war, the exchange between Japan and Britain, France, and the United States accelerated, and in the British overseas fleet, it was obvious that some cutting-edge fleets were removed from the sequence of the Royal Navy.

The Royal Navy of this era has not yet had the habit of hiding it, and it has been crisscrossing the seven seas for many years, and the domineering two-strong tactics, he has no reason to hide his strength, and he does not need to hide it. The intelligence department made a simple calculation, it was about 180,000 tons, although there were no strong capital ships, but they were all medium-strength cutting-edge warships.

Britain is so generous, the United States, which has the strongest support for Japan, there is no reason not to say it, the intelligence department followed this channel, dug a little deeper, and sure enough, news came from the United States that the three super dreadnoughts that have been listed in the US Navy list have been canceled from the Navy list.

Obviously, these super-dreadnoughts are compensated to Japan, to help the Japanese Navy recover its strength, and to replace it with the previous China, China, which did not produce capital ships, but these warships drawn from Britain and the United States, plus these three super-dreadnoughts, are enough to blockade China and cause huge losses to China, but now, in the Qingdao shipyard, after a maximum of 3 months, a new batch of warships can be launched, and most of the sailors have followed Germany for a year-long sea trial, which can be docked almost seamlessly, During the sea trials, the Qingdao shipyard gradually adjusted the German warships, and at the same time, it also adjusted the domestic warships, and after launching, it only needed to run in the power and weapon systems.

Japan can be put aside first, for the northwest, the most important thing is to take over the territory of Beiyang, and to unify the whole of China from the south, as long as China is unified, strong, concentrated all the strength of China, it is not a country like Japan can deal with.

Although on this side, there was no much embarrassment for the Japanese and let Japan leave, but on the other hand, it intensified its offensive in Taiwan, and for the time being, the northwest did not have the ability to attack the Japanese mainland far away and give Japan a little color, but Taiwan, which is across the sea from China and belongs to Chinese territory, must be taken and liberated.
