Japanese Prime Minister Hara Kei knew very well that at this time, the Anhui and China's Northeast Frontier Army had already sharpened their fists and were preparing for war, and the Northeast Army remaining in China was armed with 340,000, while in the Russian state of Kazakhstan, Wang Maoru was leading 150,000 troops to return to China day and night, and the defeat of the Anhui system was certain. Now the situation in Japan is very bad, to the point where it has to resort to the Northeast Army. Although Shirakawa Yoshinori is also a member of the radical faction of the Japanese Army, it is clear that even if he is radical, En, will not joke with the hundreds of thousands of troops at this time.

Due to the constant outbreak of uprisings in Korea, Japan had to station two or more divisions in Korea, one division in Kwantung Prefecture (Dalian, China), one division in Qingdao, Shandong, one division in Taiwan, four divisions in Japan, and four divisions in the Russian Far East -- so that Japan did not have any troops to send to the Russian interior.

The four divisions stationed in the Japanese mainland, one in Sakhalin, one in Hokkaido, one in Hiroshima, and one in Kyoto, at this time Japan was actually the weakest defense, who could have imagined that the defense force of the Japanese Empire was so weak. Japan had only 17 standing divisions in total, and all four of the four divisions that could be mobilized were mired in the Russian Civil War.

What if the Japanese made a desperate gamble and sent four divisions from the Far East to the Russian Far East?

When the generals and marshals think about it, the weather in Russia is more than 60 degrees below zero, and the size of Japan's colonies exceeds the size of the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese army is already insufficient.

"It was a mistake to send an army into Russian territory!" Yuan Jing said angrily.

Yama Youpeng said calmly: "But now we have to study how to make up for this mistake, instead of complaining." ”

"You're right, teacher." Hara said respectfully.

The think tanks of the Japanese Cabinet and the Army General Staff Headquarters analyzed and deduced calculations many times, and finally came to a very strict conclusion from the information and intelligence they had already learned: If Japan continued to send troops into Russia, it would suffer an extremely severe defeat, and would even lead to the destruction of the Japanese Army and the collapse of the Great Japanese Empire. The 110,000 Japanese Army, far away in Russia, faced nearly a million Russians, and even an additional 100,000 would be of no avail. And these 100,000 reinforcements are the last strength of Japan, and we must not go on recklessly knowing that it is a dead end. The Japanese nation is a radical nation. But not a people of fools, their hatred for Marshal Tubanev in Russia is simply unforgettable. It was this stupid guy who made the situation in which the Tsarist Russian Army was about to win collapse in an instant, is he a pig?

"So can you only ask the Chinese for help?" Yuan Jing asked his predecessor Yama Aritomo in disappointment.

Youpeng in Shan County sighed and said, "110,000 elite troops. Now it takes a Shina man to save it. It's a joke - but it happened. ”

Yusaku Uehara, then chief of staff of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters, said angrily: "No, this is absolutely impossible, there must be some way to save 110,000 troops." "The new chief of staff, Yusaku Uehara, is very keen to make a difference during his tenure, but unfortunately he inherits a mess as well. The troops were insufficient, the Japanese spread the stalls too big, the army fell into the Russian hinterland, and at this time the Chinese fought on their own, the central and local battles. He wanted to make a difference. But it seems that there is nothing that can be done.

For Shirakawa Yoshinori to take the initiative to save the Japanese intervention army, the Japanese military department admired it very much, and Yusaku Uehara also actively cooperated.

"If you want to rescue the intervening army, you must give up supporting the Anhui system and support the Northeast Army instead." Yoshiichi Tanaka said.

Yusaku Uehara suddenly said: "I will build yì, from now on, Japan will immediately increase the army by ten to twenty divisions, so as to ensure the strong combat effectiveness of our Imperial Japanese Army." ”

Prime Minister Takahashi is Kiyoshi retorted: "Your ministry is not well considered. Twenty army divisions, how much does it cost in a year? How can little Japan afford such a big expense? Is it possible to increase taxes through guò? Now that the rice riots have just stopped, do you want to arouse public anger again? Soldiers can't just pat their butts and think about things, they have to think with their heads. ”

"You Ashigaru adopted son!" Uehara said angrily.

"That's enough!" A friend in Shanxian slapped the table, and everyone was silent. They all lowered their heads, "The emperor ** is fighting alone in Russia, and you are arguing here now, are you worthy of His Majesty the Emperor?" We are now talking about how to save the Interventionist Army. And not quarrels! Lu Xiang, you should take an idea. ”

Tanaka Yoshiichi thought about it for a while and said, "It's better for you to say it." ”

Youpeng in Shan County puffed up his stomach and said, "Now it seems." If you want to save more than 100,000 troops, you must turn to the Chinese, especially the Chinese warlord Wang Maoru. And Wang Maoru and Duan Qirui's Beiyang government is preparing for a war, and we can trade guò in exchange for Wang Maoru saving the Japanese Imperial Army. That is to prevent Duan Qirui from attacking the Northeast, and use this method in exchange for the lives of hundreds of thousands of Japanese imperial troops. ”

Tanaka added: "We can also threaten him, and if he does not agree, we will unite with Duan Qirui's government forces and march northeast from three directions: Vladivostok, North Korea, and Jinju in the name of protecting the diaspora." ”

"Are we going to occupy the Northeast?" Yusaku Uehara excitedly said, "I think this is the best time." ”

Yuan Jing shook his head and said, "Although I am not a military expert, I know that because we have sent too many soldiers into Russia, it has caused dissatisfaction among the Americans. ”

"What's the grievance of those Yankees?" Yusaku Uehara said angrily.

"The Americans have too many interests in East Asia, they are afraid of our rise, and they want to suppress our rise," Hara said. Therefore, the Americans will never allow us to have sufficiently thick ambitions and motivation. ”

"Damn it! When will we get rid of these whites! Uehara slammed the table angrily.

Shirakawa Yoshinori said: "For Wang Maoru, who broke with Nicholas II in Russia, he also needs the cooperation of our Great Japanese Empire - don't forget that we hold their government bonds." And I think we should also buy a lot of bonds from Huaxia National Bank. ”

Yusaku Uehara immediately jumped up and refused: "No, it's naïve and ridiculous for us to give them money, lending them money has already caused dissatisfaction in the War Department and the Admiralty, and if we continue to lend them money, I'm afraid that something unpredictable will happen." ”

Yuan Jing looked at Youpeng in Shan County and said, "Lord Ge, what do you see? ”

Yama County Youpeng wanted to say something, but finally nodded and said: "Then let's leave this matter to Goto Shinpei-kun, who has lived in China for more than twenty years and is very familiar with China's political plates, and is also very familiar with the hearts of the Chinese." As for the purchase of Chinese government bonds, we will discuss it next time. "Goto Shinpei, a former foreign minister and one of the founders of the Manchurian Railway, once served as the governor of Taiwan, can be said to be an out-and-out China expert, and even his poetry is better than that written by many Chinese.

When everyone left, Yuan Jingtou said to Youpeng in Xiangshan County: "Master Ge, Wang Maoru is one of the few people in China who is familiar with the international situation, he almost became a professor of international relations at the age of twenty-six, I think he will definitely seize this opportunity to blackmail us." ”

Youpeng of Shan County said helplessly: "But only he has the ability to save us now." But we need to prepare with both hands, a knife and a candy cube, Goto Shinpei is the one who delivers the sugar cubes, as for the knife...... We need the help of the Kwantung Army. ”

Yuan Jing shook his head and said, "I don't think things are as easy as we imagined, this Wang Maoru is an unpredictable person." ”

The road to the east of the Chinese was not bumpy, especially the Kalmyks who returned east, who carried cattle and sheep tents along the railway to the east, which aroused the covetousness of the Kazakhs of Kazakhstan, who followed from afar, like wolves, hoping that the Kalmyks would be left behind.

In order to warn these people, Wang Mao ordered the 11th Cavalry Division to attack and destroy these attempted Kazakhs, so that he did not care who sent them. The elimination of the following Kazakhs caused dissatisfaction among the local Kazakh locals, and at the instigation of well-intentioned people, tens of thousands of Kazakhs who did not know the truth rushed to the Chinese to prepare to plunder. These men discussed using the superiority of their cavalry to cut off Chinese and plunder what Chinese was regarded as the most precious thing when they were marching in Chinese.

Wang Maoru handed over the task of exterminating these Kazakhs to Ren Yuanxing, who now found that Ren Yuanxing was more suitable to be a marshal than himself, and in the Battle of Berkrovsk, which he commanded, the Russians had to kill and wound tens of thousands of people on their positions. And Zhiduoxing's reputation Ren Yuanxing has gradually revealed, he is the most favorite person in the army to use strategy to think with his brain, and because of this, Ren Yuanxing's department has been entrusted with important tasks many times.

This time, Ren Yuanxing skillfully used the terrain to besiege these Kazakhs in the valley, and then disarmed and captured them. He did not go on a killing spree, but took these people prisoner and used them as porters, and at once he had more than 20,000 slaves. More than 20,000 Kazakh slaves replaced the Kalmyk porters, and in turn the Kalmyks played the role of slave owners and thugs, the Kalmyks are yellow, the Kazakhs are Central Asian, and the Chinese are related to the Kalmyks by blood, so it is more suitable for them to be slave owners and thugs.

The Kazakhs finally got what the Chinese regarded as the most precious thing, the oil extractor, and they had to carry it away, and they became the last slaves with grief and regret.
