Although Terauchi Masatsuki's strategic goal is only Vladivostok in the outer northeast, the Japanese intervention army led by Otani Kikuzo is not satisfied, and the Chinese can destroy 80,000 Russian troops, why can't the great Imperial Japanese Army? They desperately hope to emulate the Chinese and fight on the battlefields of Europe. Especially since they simply look down on the combat capabilities of the Chinese, since the Chinese can destroy many Soviet and Russian troops, why can't the Japanese?

Marshal Otani therefore ordered the 9th, 12th, and 14th Divisions to be transferred back to China to remain and send staff officers back to persuade them, and at the same time he sent all the divisions of the Japanese intervention forces in Russia at this time, including the 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th Divisions, and the division commanders called Vladivostok to discuss how to obtain greater and more benefits than the Chinese.

At the Vladivostok meeting of the Japanese intervention army, many Japanese soldiers present were extremely jealous and disdainful of the achievements of the Chinese in Russia, believing that their army would definitely be better than the Chinese, so Marshal Otani decided to send a Japanese army to the Kazan front, at this time everyone did not speak, because no one was willing to go to Russia, after all, the road is so far away, if there is any problem, it is simply dead and alive.

Seeing that the division commanders who were still shouting just now wilted at this time, Otani Kikuzo was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "The emperor's face has been lost to you cowardly army. ”

At this time, the Japanese army officers quit and immediately jumped up and said that we were not afraid. It's a plan that is too hasty, and if the emperor sends us now, we will definitely go.

Then Japanese Prime Minister Masashi Terauchi went down, and the result of the deliberations between the new Prime Minister Hara Kei and the War Department was...... The Chinese could not be left alone, but they did not know much about the Russian hinterland and could not take too many risks, so they sent a force to test the front, and this advance army shouted at the head of the 7th Division of the Japanese Army.

The commander of the 7th Division, Fujii Xinmao, was both excited and apprehensive, and the 7th Division reached as far as Lake Baikal, and was ambushed by the Soviet Russian partisans. This time I want to go to the hinterland of Russia, and I really don't know what the situation will be in the future.

Before leaving, Otani Kikuzo found the commander of the Fujii Division and said to him: "In this battle, we must fight the prestige of the Japanese Imperial Army in Russia, and we must not lose to the Chinese." ”

"Hey!" Fujii said.

The number of Japanese divisions is also 24,000 men, and like China's Northeast Frontier Army, it can be used as an independent combat unit or as a strategic combat unit. The soldiers of the 7th Division were born in Hokkaido, Japan, and were mostly fishermen and farmers, and belonged to the Japanese Army's relatively cold-resistant soldiers. But unlike the first six elite divisions. The predecessor of the Japanese Seventh Division was the Japanese Tuntian Soldiers, who served the people in peacetime. He was a soldier in wartime, so he was inferior to the first six elite divisions in terms of equipment and training level. Of course, they were much stronger than the divisions behind, at least they had experience in cold combat and snow marching, which is why the General Staff Headquarters sent the 7th Division into the Russian hinterland.

After thinking about it, the 7th Division believed that since the Army Headquarters and the Intervention Army Headquarters did not ask them how to fight, but only obeyed the command of the Russian Royal Army Command, they should choose a better place, especially if they could not cooperate with the Chinese. Of course, heaven does not fulfill people's wishes. The chief of the general staff of Tsarist Russia, Beravierje, transferred this army to Wang Mao, who was under the command of Wang Mao.

"The Japanese are under my command? Hahahaha, I'll let them enjoy the battlefield! Wang Maoru was overjoyed when he learned about it, and Xiong Bingtao also said excitedly: "If you don't kill these little devils, you will not give up." Wang Maoru waved his hand and said: "This group of little devils is boring, if you want to make it bigger, if you want to pull it down, you can pull down the entire Japanese nation." Xiong Bingtao is also a smart person, and he laughed after hearing it. said: "Xiu Shuai is so calculating, so calculating." ”

Wang Maoru will definitely not think about the opportunity to bad the Seventh Division now, what is the meaning of bad the Seventh Division? If it is bad, it will damage the entire Japanese intervention army. So now it is necessary to give the 7th Division a sweetener. It is better to let them win all battles first, and then pull Japan into the water, send troops to the Far East, and take the opportunity to withdraw to the northeast themselves. As far as Japan's vindictiveness is concerned, if they fight a war, they will either win or perish in the end, and there will never be any such a situation, and Japan is such an extreme nation.

At the same time, the sound of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference came, and the history that Wang Maoru had been looking forward to was finally slightly adapted, and unlike history, through the efforts of the Chinese negotiating team and Wang Maoru's efforts on the Russian battlefield, it finally brought a little dignity to the weak China.

First of all, the abolition of the privileges of Germany and Austria in China, the resumption of the concessions of Germany and Austria in China (to be discussed separately in Shandong), the abolition of all Gengzi indemnities paid by China to Germany and Austria, and the fact that Germany and Austria are under the jurisdiction of a government department in China and under the jurisdiction of the government will be placed under the name of the Chinese Government. Second, the Chinese government's recognition of Austria in the Austrian rapprochement led to China's membership in the League of Nations and its membership in the Executive Council. Finally, with regard to the question of Shandong, China, since Japan had to pay a huge price for defeating Germany in Shandong, China, the Chinese Government and the Japanese Government should jointly negotiate and settle the Shandong question, provided that China's power and Japan's interests were guaranteed.

Britain, France, and the United States very insidiously kicked the ball to Japan, causing dissatisfaction on the part of Japan, which naturally demanded that the territory already in its arms belong to itself, and at the same time, China was also dissatisfied, how could China, as the victorious country, delay the negotiation of the territorial issue.

As a result, the two countries were in a commotion, and at this time, Britain, France, and the United States proposed that the dispute be shelved and we would continue to negotiate. When the news reached China, the Chinese people were dissatisfied, and it was already May 29, 1919, although the May Fourth in history did not appear, but the new "May Fourth" did not know when it was about to break out. The expectations of the Chinese people are getting higher and higher, and if they do not reach the satisfactory Cheng dù, the eruption Cheng dù is even stricter than the volcanic eruption. The enthusiasm of the Chinese people has long been aroused by the news of successive victories, from the beginning of the departure of the Chinese delegation for peace talks to the strong national pride aroused by the destruction of 80,000 Soviet and Russian troops by the intervention army, and the confidence of the Chinese people has exploded.

In the major cities of Beijing and Shanghai, a boycott of Japanese goods groups was formed, calling on everyone to boycott Japanese goods, in order to show the attitude of the Chinese people, and even the flower circles in Shanghai have been organized, with Lin Daiyu, Jianbing, Xiaoyi, Hua Juanjuan, Hongdi, Jin Di and dozens of famous prostitutes in Shanghai issued an antique literary declaration, and composed patriotic songs "Promoting National Products Song", prostitutes hired cars, full of patriotic leaflets and distributed along the streets. After the last grand victory march, the citizens and the common people became more and more fond of the demonstration, so many students and citizens marched to promote the slogan "boycott Japanese goods, return me to Qingdao".

Especially in the countryside, because they had suffered from Japanese aggression, the villagers didn't even know where Japan was, they all knew that the Japanese were bad, in order to prevent the Japanese from poisoning, many people who met saw the Japanese would beat them, and when they saw a small man who looked like a Japanese or even wore a suit, they would come forward to interrogate. If the Japanese resisted, the people in the countryside would simply shout: "We have a martial generalissimo, destroy your plaster country." "However, because of the police protection in the city, the Japanese were not harassed much, but many Chinese merchants who insisted on buying Japanese goods were tied up and put on cylindrical hats and dragged to the streets, and pedestrians or ordinary people occasionally smashed sundries on these merchants who sold Japanese goods.

After the intervention forces submitted a plan to attract the main forces of the Soviet army and give Kolchak a chance, the head of the Chinese delegation, Lu Zhengxiang, immediately called the Shangwu general Wang Maoru and told him that the post-war contract was less than a month away. Britain, France, and the United States had great differences over whether Shandong, China, would immediately belong to China, with Britain hoping to hand over Shandong to Japan first, Japan negotiating with the Chinese, and the United States hoping to return Shandong directly to China, while France wavered. This time, General Wang Maoru won a great victory in Russia, and the victory of the peace talks delegation over Yu Wei appeared full of confidence when winning over allies. Lu Zhengxiang implored Wang Maoru's army to make persistent efforts and achieve better results in Russia, because after all, a country with a strong military has an opportunity in the negotiation process. The so-called weak country has no diplomacy, and only with a strong military as the backing can there be a strong diplomacy.

In fact, Lu Zhengxiang abandoned the Beiyang government at this time and directly asked Wang Maoru for help, which has already shown a big problem, that is, the Beiyang government is too weak to the outside world, and some government officials are dissatisfied. The other four members of the delegation also deeply agreed on this point, and whether it was the government of the North or the South, at this time they could only stare dryly, and only a few diplomats rushed to tell each other to work hard, but the country did nothing. Here, the people cannot just blame the Beiyang government, after all, there are two governments in China at this time, and if the blame is imposed, both governments will be responsible.

Wang Maoru received Lu Zhengxiang's telegram and felt a little regretful, because Lu Zhengxiang's request conflicted with his strategic intentions. What Lu Zhengxiang meant was that it would be best for the Chinese intervention forces to win another big victory, so as to strengthen the country's prestige and impress Britain, France, and the United States at the Paris Peace Conference. However, Wang Maoru's strategic intention was to use Saratov to mobilize the Eastern Front of Soviet Russia to provide flank support for Kolchak's general offensive, and at the same time to use the sneak attack on Tsaritsyn to mobilize the Southern Front of Soviet Russia. It can be said that no matter which of these two battle clusters is, there is no need to get into a bitter battle, but it is only preparing for the major counteroffensive of the Kolchak Tsarist Russian First Army.

When Wang Maoru handed over the battle plan of the Volga Army to Berevelde, Berevierge communicated with Kolchak in time. Kolchak was originally dismissive of the Chinese intervention army, but after seeing this plan, he immediately expressed his deep gratitude to the squadron and hoped that they could hold on until their counterattack was victorious and the evil Soviet Russia was eliminated.
