Sun Wen died in Japan, and only a few Japanese friends came, and not even a single news media was willing to report on him, so it ended in disgrace. China's strength is rapidly expanding, the country is becoming more and more stable, and the Japanese have clearly seen that the era of wanting to disrupt China by supporting a few oppositionists, sending some money, and giving some arms has passed.

In the last battle, the Japanese were deeply impressed by the air force and army of the Feng army, and whether they admit it or not, it may be difficult to completely defeat China even if they use all their strength.

And now with the launch of the Mukden, no matter what everyone thinks about aircraft carriers and battleships, one thing is certain, a 40,000-ton giant ship is definitely not for fun, and the horn of the Chinese going to the sea has been sounded.

In the past, in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan's combined fleet was in a position second to none, and all of China's warships combined were not as large as the Japanese capital ships, but these have become history.

Japan was under extremely serious pressure, but at this time Emperor Taisho was in very poor health, and those cabinet members could only gather around Crown Prince Hirohito to urgently discuss the strategy of dealing with China.

"His Royal Highness, the minister thinks that the China Navy is not to worry, according to the judgment of relevant experts, it is impossible for the China people to have the ability to rebuild large warships, it is likely that the Fengtian is just a beautiful box, and they do not have the ability to develop carrier-based aircraft, as for the cowardly China people, do they dare to land on the aircraft carrier in the sea?" The Minister of the Navy and the Ministry of Finance said with a swear.

The Minister of Finance, Yuyuki Hamaguchi, also hurriedly said: "According to the current information, the warlord Zhang Tinglan has embarked on a path similar to that of the Soviet Union, and they have eliminated the landlords internally and seriously disrupted the social order. By robbing the rich, by squeezing the people, by concentrating funds. Moreover, the gap between the rich and the poor in their areas is too large, corruption is serious, and public resentment is boiling. It is conceivable that such a regime will certainly be difficult to maintain. ”

……

These important members of the cabinet have successively sung about China, which has calmed Hirohito's heart a little, and perhaps it is not so terrible. After the meeting, Hirohito was also full of irritability and wanted to go for a walk in the garden. It turned out that one of the guards was flipping through a book.

As soon as he saw the crown prince coming, the guard was immediately startled, and hurriedly hid the book behind his back in a panic, his face full of panic.

"Read more and understand more reason. It is a very haode thing, so don't worry. Hirohito smiled slightly, "Can you tell me what book you're reading?" ”

How dare this guard not agree. I could only tremble and hand over the book to Hirohito. Hirohito took it and looked at it. I saw a line of big letters written on the cover: China is about to collapse.

Hirohito frowned, is there still such a book in this world, he flipped through the table of contents, and saw that the whole book was divided into five volumes, discussing the reasons for the collapse of China. First of all, China's national character, which is cowardly and selfish. Cowardly and incompetent, there will be great chaos every three hundred years, and from the end of the Qing Dynasty, it is just the period of great chaos. Zhang Tinglan is just temporarily stabilizing the situation, and the big melee is still to come.

The second volume deals with policy and corruption, and in particular points out that Zhang Tinglan's example of the Soviet Union has greatly damaged the interests of the social elites, and they will certainly rise up to resist. The third volume lists a large number of economic indicators, pointing out that China's investment is blind and ineffective, the quality of products is poor, and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large. The fourth volume is an analysis of the international situation, pointing out that the great powers will not allow a strong China.

As for the fifth volume, it boldly predicts the time of China's collapse, five years at the latest, three years at most, China will collapse and disintegrate, and re-enter the situation of warlord melee, just like Yuan Shikai's Beiyang, and the time that the Feng warlords can maintain is quite limited.

Hirohito hastily flipped through the two pages, then felt the problem, frowned and asked, "Do you believe the content above?" ”

"Believe." The guard said without hesitation: "There are many books of this kind on the market, and they are all very reasonable, and China is destined to be annexed by the empire and become a part of the empire!" ”

Hirohito looked at the confident guards, but he didn't know what to say, just flipped through it, he found a large number of data errors, and what is the situation in Japan, Hirohito also knows in his heart, if it is according to the above, I am afraid that Japan will also collapse. Of course, Hirohito also hoped for the collapse of China in his heart, but how could he believe such a problematic thing!

He had the intention to directly scold the demons to confuse the public, but when he saw the guards' sworn appearance, he couldn't say it. Hirohito, who dreams of ruling all the nations and peoples, will not forget his creed and shatter the soul pillar of militaristic Japan, saying that it is false, that China will not collapse, and that Japan will not be able to annex China......

This is a very ridiculous and aggrieved feeling, obviously telling himself rationally that this thing is nonsense, but Hirohito does not dare to expose it, and even works hard to maintain this beautiful lie, and continues to tell the Japanese that China is weak and will never be able to compare to the Great Japanese Empire!

Can make this thing,Naturally, it is a great war situation,From the beginning of the first five jihua,China has entered a period of rapid development,In the industrialization sprint,Zhang Tinglan is unwilling to be interrupted,But at this time, China has a variety of achievements,Easy to be targeted。

Therefore, in order to strive for a relatively peaceful environment, the only way to sacrifice the magic weapon of war and sudden situation is to sacrifice again, and Zhong Zhao has long been handy with this kind of thing, and he secretly instigated Chinese and foreign scholars to work together, preaching the collapse of China everywhere, criticizing new weapons, criticizing economic policies, and constantly singing about China.

Don't think that the public will be very smart, for most people, except for the industry they specialize in, other knowledge is basically equivalent to the level of primary and secondary schools, and after being bombarded with some opinions, even if they have doubts, they will slowly believe it.

In particular, Japan, which is both arrogant and inferior, and also hosts China, is willing to believe it from the bottom of its heart when it sees the argument that China is about to collapse. As a result, China, which was concocted by the war, was about to collapse, and suddenly became the best-selling book in Japan.

As a result, some scholars in Japan were also inspired to join in, and they also published a large number of books, each more terrifying than the other, and many Japanese people were immersed in this self-hypnotic dream. Of course, there are some people who are sober, but at this time, they jump out and say how powerful China is, and how many people are willing to believe it!

In 1925, with the completion of the expansion of Anshan Iron and Steel and other enterprises. Crude steel production in the Tohoku region exceeded 1.35 million tons, compared to 1.3 million tons in Japan during the same period. While some are basking in the dream of China's collapse, the balance of power between China and Japan has quietly reversed, and the balance has begun to tilt in China's favor.

"Humble words, this thing is your handiwork, right?"

Jiang Baili put a copy of China's imminent collapse in front of Zhang Tinglan, and said angrily. Zhang Tinglan also smiled slightly: "Brother Baili, the art of war is cloudy, but the truth is false, and the virtual is real." True and false, false and real. There's nothing wrong with making the Japanese stupid, right? ”

"It's nothing to make Japan stupid, but I heard that this thing has also begun to circulate in China, and some people have called me and asked me directly how I became the chief of staff and why there is such a serious problem in the army. Don't you know how to manage it? ”

Yang Yuting also said: "Not only that, my daughter has heard someone give a special lecture at school these days. Come back and ask me. Saying that the people are not living and the economy is collapsing, is the country going to be finished! ”

When Zhang Tinglan heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh, this battle is really a big killer, not only hurting people. It can also hurt itself. But as long as their own losses, which are much smaller than those of the enemy, are worth using.

"You don't have to worry about it, neighbor. If you don't believe it, forget it. In this world, there is more money to engage in ideology than academics, and there are always some people who are willing to grandstand and steal tricks. However, it is more valuable for us to let more Japanese people fall for and miscalculate. ”

Yang Yuting also nodded: "It's a medicine that is poisonous, and I understand this truth, but obviously the country is thriving, but there are always people pointing at your nose and saying, whether it's going to be over, it's always a little awkward." ”

"If it's awkward, it's awkward, as long as it goes smoothly through these five years, we have enough strength, and then we will drive the Japanese out of the Korean Peninsula and see who collapses first."

Yang Yuting also smiled: "Humble words, since you have the intention to take the Korean Peninsula, then before this, you must unify the whole country, otherwise there will be no fun!" ”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded: "I also have this intention, but if you don't have to fight and can solve these grass kings, you really have to think about it." ”

"To put it mildly, in my opinion, there are still three problems in China, one is two Guangzhou, one is southwest, and one is northwest." Jiang Baili smiled and analyzed to Zhang Tinglan.

Among these warlords, the warlords of Liangguang had the least trouble, first of all, such as Chen Jiongming and Li Zongren, who had long cooperated with Fengjun. Moreover, Guangzhou is also a key investment area, with two railways to pass through and the port to be expanded.

If the real money is thrown, even if these military leaders want to fight against Zhang Tinglan, the people will not agree, so the division and collapse can be easily settled.

As for the problem in the northwest, it is not complicated, in order to deal with Ma Jiajun, Zhang Tinglan adopted measures to drive the tiger and devour the wolf and sent Feng Yuxiang out. After several years, Feng Yuxiang has become a little bigger in the northwest, but the northwest region is relatively barren, and without the support of the mainland, the northwest is unable to maintain it at all, and Feng Yuxiang's lifeline is in Zhang Tinglan's hands.

The real trouble is the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, the three southwestern provinces have a vast area and a closed area, since the Republic of China, there have been constant wars, and they are extremely xenophobic.

"In my opinion, the most haode method is still the old way, drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and solve the northwest and southwest together." Jiang Baili said his idea.

"Senior Baili, haven't you always opposed these conspiracies, why have you changed your mind now?" Yang Yuting said with a smile.

"It's not that you've been spoiled, and you've begun to fool the Japanese, if I don't learn a little, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the trend!"

In a word, the three people who said it were all hahadaxiao, Jiang Baili got up and walked to the front of the map.

"I have just analyzed that the internal problems in the northwest are not big, but the Xinjiang region happens to border Russia, and we have a blood feud with Russia, so it is inevitable to strengthen control over Xinjiang and increase the number of troops and immigrants, because I suggest that the southwest and northwest be considered together. First of all, Feng Yuxiang was promised to expand his subordinates and give him the number of five divisions, but these five divisions were to be divided into two, two of which entered Xinjiang, and three divisions followed Feng Yuxiang south to Sichuan. ”

According to the current situation, Feng Yuxiang mainly controlled Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and part of Xinjiang. These areas are all extremely poor places with limited development potential, and they are pressed by Zhang Tinglan, Feng Yuxiang is actually quite uncomfortable.

However, if there is an opportunity to go south to Sichuan, the situation will be different, Sichuan is known as the country of abundance, and the wealth of a province far exceeds the sum of the northwest regions. As long as this place is taken, the population and food problems in the northwest will be solved, and Feng Yuxiang will not let go of this opportunity.

"As long as Feng Yuxiang goes down from southwest Shaanxi to Sichuan, the warlords in Sichuan will definitely be alarmed, and once there is a conflict between the two sides, or even a big fight, we will be able to come out and clean up the mess."

"Senior's idea is good!" Yang Yuting took the lead and said: "In this way, Feng Yuxiang and these people in the southwest are all stewed with a spoonful, and there will be a lot of trouble left." During the operation, it is also necessary to prepare an army to march into the northwest at any time and take over Xinjiang and other places. If, as soon as it comes, from Xinjiang all the way to the Far East, a barrier against the Soviet Union will be formed, and it will also be of great value to our national defense and security. ”

The three of them discussed, and the action plan was finally determined, and Yang Yuting immediately called Feng Yuxiang in the name of the Ministry of National Defense and sent him the coveted gift package, and his subordinates were reorganized into five divisions.

This is a great courtesy, you must know that after the reorganization of the Jin army, there is only one division, and he has five divisions at once, which is simply pie in the sky.

However, the number is not given in vain, and he must be asked to do two things, one is to march into Xinjiang and consolidate the border, and the other is to maintain the tranquility of the Sichuan border and eliminate the independence of the plateau.

After receiving this order, Lao Feng also fell into deep thought, could this be Zhang Tinglan's conspiracy to distract himself. Feng Yuxiang gathered all his subordinates and wanted to hear the opinions of these henchmen.

"Dashuai, I think this is a godsend, needless to say Xinjiang, but the opportunity to enter Sichuan is in front of you, Wang Tu Baye, you can't miss it!"

……

"Chang Supervisor, this is a telegram sent to me by Liu Xiang, asking me to go to Chengdu to attend a meeting." Deng Xihou respectfully sent a telegram to Chang Yinhuai.

"Jin Kang, this is an internal matter of your Sichuan army, just deal with it as appropriate."

When Deng Xihou heard this, he suddenly bowed down at the feet of Chang Yinhuai: "Superintendent, the princes of Sichuan, blindly belligerent, good haode the country of abundance, has been mourning all over the wilderness, if you want to provoke a war, I really can't stand it, I just hope that the central government can make a decisive move, and return the people of Sichuan to a balance day, Deng is grateful!"
