In Dandong, the Wehrmacht stationed in the city is organizing the evacuation of citizens. The Japanese attack was so sudden that the Ministry of Defense did not receive any reliable information at all.

Fortunately, Dandong is too close to North Korea, and there is a group of jackals on the opposite side, and it is impossible for the Ministry of Defense to be careless. Therefore, although it is a port city, Dandong still has a certain defensive force, so although the Japanese attack caught the Wehrmacht by surprise, under the fierce attack of the Japanese army, the Wehrmacht still stood firm.

It's just that...

Sitting on the plane and looking at the boats full of soldiers on the river, Wu Zhiyi showed an incomprehensible expression.

He had received information from the government that the Japanese attack was completely an unauthorized action of lower-ranking officers and soldiers, and even the upper echelons of the Japanese mainland and the Korean Front did not know about it. This is really incomprehensible in Wu Zhiyi's opinion, after all, in their thinking, soldiers should obey the orders of their superiors, no matter how unreasonable the order is.

Of course, none of this is important, what really matters is that in the absence of local or upper support, even if they can take Dandong, how to solve the follow-up ammunition supply and other problems?

"Is it so simple to fight?" At least Wu Zhiyi himself is difficult to understand, after all, if there is no logistical support, although the current Japanese offensive is very huge, it is inevitable that the rear strength will be insufficient.

That's right, the strength of the northeast is indeed a little empty now, and the entire northeast is only more than 100,000 people, but there is still a division in the outer northeast, especially in Vladivostok, and the Beijing-Tianjin wing area has always been the focus of defense, where there are no less than 200,000 troops. The troops were transported to Dalian by sea.

Now that the ports of Lushun and Weihaiwei have been recovered, there will definitely be no danger for the Navy to transport the 6th Army to Dalian. What's more, this incident was purely an unauthorized action of the lower echelons of the Korean Front, and the Japanese government itself was completely unaware of it, and the navy may not cooperate with them...

So...

"It's incomprehensible..."

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to understand, now that the Japanese have hit the doorstep, let's fight them back first..." Looking at the Japanese troops who were still on the river below, still in small boats, trying to find a way to cross the river, Wu Zhiyi frowned.

After learning that Dandong had been attacked, the garrisons stationed in Shenyang and Fushun immediately moved in the direction of Dandong under the orders of the Shenyang Military Region. It doesn't matter how the above is going to be solved. At least let's beat the Japanese back first, this is almost a unanimous opinion from above.

However, the other garrisons on the Sino-Korean border did not move, after all, no one knew whether the unauthorized action was only the Japanese troops stationed on the opposite side of Korea, or whether other Japanese troops were involved, or whether the information they received from the Japanese government that did not know about this matter was just a false information, which was used to confuse them, and in fact the Japanese planned to take advantage of the fact that their main force was still in Siberia, Central Asia, Europe, and other places. Take advantage of the situation to give them a hard time?

No one knows about this...

――――――――――――――――――――

"These Japanese are really idle and have nothing to do..."Looking at the content on the telegram, Yan Shao frowned. At the same time, Caterina's expression, which was by Yan Shao's side, also looked a little ugly. "I didn't get the information in advance this time, it's a dereliction of duty on the part of the Special Affairs Bureau, and after I go back..."

"You can't say that..."Seeing that Caterina seemed to be about to take responsibility, Liu Guangyuan on the side hurriedly said. Who would have thought that a Japanese junior officer would be so bold and reckless as to launch a sneak attack without notice from the upper echelons of the Korean Front and the Japanese mainland, and the task of the Special Affairs Bureau has been accomplished very well. Not long after the Japanese sneak attack, a lot of information was obtained, and even some opinions on this matter from the upper echelons of the Japanese mainland and the Korean front, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the special bureau in this matter, but it is meritorious, and you don't have to blame yourself, madam..."

After speaking, Liu Guangyuan glanced at Yan Shao's face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Let's not mention whether the Special Affairs Bureau is at fault in this matter. Caterina's identity alone has already made it impossible for her to be disposed of lightly. Now that he said this, he just took advantage of Yan Shao's intentions.

At the same time, I heard Liu Guangyuan's words on the side. Jiang Baili frowned slightly. However, he didn't say much, because in the past, the cooperation between the Wehrmacht and the Special Affairs Bureau has always been very good, such as the westward expansion strategy this time, if it were not for the many information provided by the Special Affairs Bureau, even if the westward expansion strategy could have succeeded, it would not have been so smooth.

Moreover, even in the European theater, the Secret Service also gave the expeditionary force a lot of information, some of which the Entente knew but were unwilling to tell the expeditionary force, and some of which even the Entente themselves did not know, and this information also effectively reduced the casualties and losses of the expeditionary force.

Seriously, Jiang Baili is still very satisfied with the Special Affairs Bureau itself, and he doesn't feel that all the responsibility lies with the Special Affairs Bureau.

It's just that...

He had some opinions about Katerina.

It's not because of her ability, it's not because of anything else, at least as far as Jiang Baili knows, Yan Shao's family is still very clean, and no one has ever used their power for their own personal gain, so the reputation of this family is very good in the country―――――― of course, with Yan Shao's family property, it seems that there is no need to do this.

And both in terms of ability and this aspect, Caterina is very competent. It's just her nationality......... Although she has become a Chinese citizen, her Spanish status has always made many people, including Jiang Baili, a little suspicious, and it is not clear what choice Caterina will make if she conflicts with Spain in the future.

If her identity is just Yan Shao's wife, maybe it's nothing, but she is still the director of the Special Affairs Bureau. Of the many departments in the Cabinet, there are probably few that are more important than the Special Bureau.

And this has made many people deeply worried...

For this reason, I don't know how many people have persuaded Yan Shao that he should change to a candidate, a candidate acceptable to everyone, but Yan Shao has never responded. Of course, Jiang Baili knows what Yan Shao's concerns are, of course it is easy to change the candidate, and there are many people who have the ability to do a good job in this position, not to mention. Luo Wenying is now in Russia, even if he is one, but...

It's reassuring enough, but there is no one...

After all, the responsibilities of the Special Affairs Bureau are so special that the top level of the National Social Affairs Government does not know how many secrets are in the hands of this department, and if it is controlled by someone who is not at ease......... Well, the consequences are unimaginable.

In turn, as a Spaniard. Even if you have become a Chinese citizen, you will still be rejected by people to a certain extent, and on the other hand, the danger is not so great. What's more, she is still Yan Shao's wife, Yan Shao will definitely believe her...

――――――――――――――――――――

Although he frowned a little about the situation of the Special Affairs Bureau, Jiang Baili also knew that now was not the time to talk about this matter, so he quickly changed his words. "Now the most important thing is. Hurry up and react to this matter..."After speaking, Jiang Baili looked at Yan Shao. "President, what are we supposed to do in this matter?"

"Withdraw to the country, you have to speed up..."Pacing back and forth in place, Yan Shao groaned for a while and then spoke. As for the Japanese, let's negotiate with them first..."

"That......... Dandong side..."

"Sue Feng Guozhang, give me a hard beating, and it's not a good thing to beat the Japanese back. I've crossed the river! ”

"Really fighting?" Hearing Yan Shao's words, Gu Weijun said with some hesitation.

"Of course it's a real fight!" Yan Shao said in a deep voice. "It's a good opportunity to teach those Japanese people a lesson, let them understand who is the boss in East Asia, and at the same time let them be more stable..."

"However, the current strength of the Shenyang Military Region is only more than 100,000, which is almost 100,000 compared with the North Korean Front Army, such a big disparity..." Following behind Yan Shao, after hesitating for a moment, Liu Guangyuan expressed his opinion. Is it from the outer northeast or the Beijing Military Region to transfer a part of the troops to the north? In this way, General Feng's troops will be more abundant..."

"There's no need for this..."Yan Shao shook his head. I don't want him to defeat Korea, I just want him to teach the Japanese a lesson, and if it is just a lesson, the current strength in Northeast China alone is enough. Let him fight well and don't have to worry about ammunition! ”

Hearing this, everyone present already understood what Yan Shao meant.

He did not intend to break out any full-scale conflict with Japan, but only planned to teach Japan a good lesson on the Sino-North Korean border. In this way, China consolidated its rule in Siberia and Central Asia. It can also reduce some follow-up troubles―――――― at least let Japan be more honest, instead of thinking that it has hooked up with Britain and the United States and other countries, and wantonly carry out provocations on the border between China and North Korea, in that case. It's better to beat the other party hard now, and then beat the other party scared...

――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing that Yan Shao and the others had finished talking, Gu Weijun on the side took two steps forward. "The President, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs..."

"As I said just now, talk to the Japanese first, and then talk to Britain and the United States, so that they can understand that this conflict was provoked by the Japanese first, and it was they who attacked our city first, and we are only carrying out the necessary counterattack now, that's all..."

"Got it..."

After receiving Yan Shao's telegram, Feng Guozhang soon began to deploy. The troops located in the northeast were all marched towards the Sino-North Korean border under the orders of Feng Guozhang, but they did not drive to Dandong, but advanced towards several other cities on the Sino-Korean border...

The troops originally stationed along the Sino-DPRK border used heavy artillery and other weapons to shell targets in the DPRK.

After the Dandong side fought, the Japanese troops on the other side of the Yalu River were also very excited, after all, the Korean Front had always felt very unconvinced by the defeat of the last Shandong Campaign, believing that it was not their defeat, but the defeat of the expeditionary force at the beginning. It was only because of the defeat of the expeditionary force that they had to withdraw to Korea from the northeast.

Because of this, those troops who were once stationed in the Northeast were even scolded by domestic public opinion, thinking that they had thrown away the rich Northeast without firing a single shot...

However, the Dandong side was naturally fighting lively, but with the precedent of Dandong, the Japanese troops in other directions were strictly guarded by their superiors. At this time, the headquarters of the Japanese mainland and the Korean Front were already in disarray, and almost everyone did not know what was going on, and although the Korean Front had also sent officers and generals to stop the unauthorized actions of the junior officers, those officers did not listen to them at all, and the troops had already crossed the river, and it was impossible for them to pull the troops back from the other side of the river now. So until now, the war in Dandong has not stopped―――――― in fact, those upper-level officers, how can they be willing to withdraw from the northeast.

It's just that...

Although the Japanese troops stationed on the shore were extremely excited, and they were eager to enter the war as soon as possible, and then occupy the northeast again, at least to destroy the heavy industry base in the northeast that was still under construction, they never expected that the Wehrmacht would dare to act before them...

If Dandong's troops were caught off guard. fell into passivity, then the Japanese army in several other places ended up with the same fate as the Dandong troops.

A mere Yalu River could not stop the artillery fire of heavy artillery above 15omm caliber, and even a howitzer with a caliber of 1o5mm could lightly hit the Japanese positions on the other side of the river.

And by the time they react. Several troops, however, had already tried to cross the Yalu River and attacked the Japanese on the other side of the river. With the assistance of heavy artillery, the intensity of its offensive was even higher than that of the Japanese army in Dandong.

All of a sudden, the smoke of gunfire on the banks of the Yalu River made up for it, but the 'conflict' on the border between China and North Korea was greatly unexpected by the international community.

The Sino-Japanese border conflict naturally shocked the world greatly. Especially on the days when the Paris Peace Conference was taking place. The sudden and violent fight between two important members of the Entente camp was really embarrassing to the other members of the Entente.

In particular, Britain and the United States and other countries have just faced this sudden conflict, but their positions are a little awkward. They already know the cause of this war, and there is no doubt that it was the sneak attack of the low-level Japanese officers that set off this conflict on the border between China and North Korea.

Therefore, the responsibility for this conflict should be placed on the Japanese side without any doubt. It is only after the birth of China's dispatch of troops to Russia that the attitude of Britain and the United States towards China has undergone some changes. There are more and more voices in the two countries to support Japan in order to balance China's voices, and for the sake of the interests of both countries, it is obviously very necessary to do so.

So after the Japanese sneak attack on Dandong. Britain and the United States and other countries have not expressed any other opinions except for mediating and hoping that the two countries can cease fire as soon as possible. This attitude has aroused dissatisfaction not only in China, but also in Japan.

and the upper echelons of the Japanese government. Unlike the officers and soldiers who carried out the attack as 'trouble', the Japanese people were already dissatisfied with the withdrawal from Northeast China, and at the same time felt the threat posed by China after it became stronger, and for many other reasons, the Japanese side completely felt that they were helping the Western powers contain China by doing so.

And now, the great powers have only made some vague wording, demanding a ceasefire between the two sides, without choosing to support either side, this kind of amicable approach can almost be said to make all the warring sides hold a grudge...

It's just that...

I'm afraid that Britain and the United States and other countries never thought that in the end, this border conflict would actually come to this extent. After Yan Shao's order was issued, the entire Sino-Korean border, except for the part bordering the northeast in the north, was almost all in flames of war, thousands of heavy artillery pieces carried out intensive fire strikes on targets in North Korea, and tens of thousands of national defense officers and soldiers stepped on pontoon bridges to cross the Yalu River and fiercely attacked North Korea...

And this time, it was the Japanese who were caught off guard.

After all, this time it was mainly the Japanese troops in the Dandong direction who acted without authorization, and the Japanese troops in other directions did not get the news in advance and were not adequately prepared at all. Although the Japanese troops in Korea are more than 200,000 high, it is impossible for them all to be concentrated on the Sino-Korean border, and all ports need to be heavily defended, and the Japanese troops on the front line are only 70,000 or 80,000 people.

At the same time, the main fleets of the Ocean Fleet in Arthur and Qingdao also began to sail northward, cruising in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, and confronting the Japanese Combined First Fleet at sea.

Faced with this situation, the Germans gloated, and the German delegation, which was still in a hurry to find a way, suddenly quieted down, intending to see what the result was. Naturally, because of Yan Shao's statement some time ago, and because Yan Shao did make many gestures in favor of Germany at the peace conference, Germany is very grateful to Yan Shao, and sincerely wishes that China can gain the upper hand in this conflict.

On the other hand, the British and American sides are very complicated, they have almost jumped up and down these days, and the only purpose is to hope that the two sides can cease fire as soon as possible and return to the road of peace―――――― even if they want to fight, they will wait until the Paris Peace Conference is over...

In fact, Britain and the United States are still very happy about the conflict between China and Japan, after all, in this world war, the countries with the least losses are probably these two. And the countries that have reaped the most benefits, China and Japan can at least rank in the top three, for their own interests, Britain and the United States naturally want them to fight to the death...

It's just that, in their opinion, this conflict is too inopportune...

Therefore, in order not to expose the contradictions within the Entente, they can only mediate as much as possible, so as not to cause accidents
