    Those present here are all officers above the battalion level. They have participated in some battles and seen some bloodshed and sacrifices. They are not young children.  However, most of the people they faced were domestic armies. Their weapons, equipment, and army morale were not comparable to those of the northwest armies. The so-called advantage was that they had more people at most.  Under the crushing force of the advanced weapons of the Northwest Army, they will soon lose their armor and be defeated.  However, if they faced tens of thousands of Japanese troops who dared to nakedly launch a bloody charge against the enemy's positions, would they still be able to win so easily?  Everyone couldn't help but think about this problem secretly in their hearts.

    Yes, advanced weapons and equipment are not the only factor that determines the outcome of a war.  If weapons and equipment really determine everything, then why are countries around the world still training and fighting?  Might as well all change their careers to research and manufacture weapons!  When countries encounter irreconcilable conflicts and disputes, they only need to use their best weapons to compete, and then decide the winner. Isn't it much easier than training troops to fight?

    Zhang Huizhan said: "Chief of Staff, don't destroy your own ambition and gain the prestige of others! Zhang also studied in Japan for a period of time and has seen the madness of the Japanese. They are indeed a strong force in East Asia, but that's all!  No matter how powerful and bloody the Japanese are, they are still humans, not gods. Bullets will still leave holes in their bodies, and tanks will still turn them into blood and mud if they are run over. Is it possible that their bloody nature makes them invulnerable?

    "As the Chief of Staff said, blood is not innate, but is tempered by beliefs, ideals, victories, wars, sacrifices and other factors. Our northwest divisions and brigades do not lack beliefs and ideals from top to bottom.  There is no shortage of victory and war. As for bloodshed and sacrifice, we are not afraid. We just do not pursue it. I believe that as long as we win one victory after another under the leadership of Mr. Sun, given time, bloodshed will come unexpectedly. And the Japanese are just  It¡¯s just a whetstone for our progress!¡±

    Yang Jie shook his head: "Yang really disagrees with Brigadier Shihou's opinion! In my opinion, blood without bloodshed and sacrifice is just talk without practice. It's like shooting without live ammunition.  No matter how bright a new gun is, it can make people full of murderous intent. After all, it is not enough to rely on. It is better to carry a gun made in Hanyang that has experienced hundreds of battles. The reason why Brigadier Shihou is as confident as he is today is because of his subordinates.  The 47th Mixed Brigade has experienced major and minor battles such as the Taiyuan Uprising, the Zhengding Mutiny, the Battle of the School of Protection, and the Battle of Guanyin, and has been invincible. But do our other divisions and brigades have such experiences? Not to mention previous victories, not  It means that we can win in the future; having defeated the Imperial Guards and the Beiyang Army does not mean that we can also defeat the Japanese Army!"

    Zhang Huizhan suddenly stared angrily: "Then please wait and see, Chief of Staff, to see if our 47th Mixed Brigade can defeat the Japanese army in the Battle of Qingdao. Continue our undefeated record!"

    Yang Jie was not moved at all: "Commander Liu just informed that Japan has mobilized nearly 100,000 troops including the 18th Independent Division, the 6th Independent Division, the 29th Infantry Brigade and the Navy's Second Fleet.  Therefore, the battle of Qingdao requires the cooperation of all our divisions and brigades to win. Otherwise, even if the 47th Mixed Brigade under Brigadier Shihou is covered in iron, how many nails can it drive? Is it possible that we can conquer the world?"

    Zhang Huizhan responded: "Although our 47th Mixed Brigade cannot conquer the world, we are confident that it is more than enough to deal with one brigade of the Japanese army. Yang volunteered here, hoping to fight against the 11th Brigade or the 3rd Brigade of the 6th Division.  The 16th Brigade. I hope the headquarters will be successful!"

    Yang Jie then clapped his hands and praised: "If all the divisions and brigades of our Northwest Army have the confidence and courage of Brigadier Shi Hou, how can a mere 100,000 Japanese troops be enough?" Then his voice changed: "In order to cope with the sudden increase of Japanese troops,  According to the situation, the headquarters has studied and decided and reported it to Premier Sun for approval. From now on, the difficulty of the exercise will be doubled, and the casualty indicators of each battalion will also be increased accordingly. In addition, in order to arouse the bloody enthusiasm of all departments and familiarize themselves with the actual combat terrain, our exercise area will be set in micro  The hilly area beside the mountains and lakes. The 47th Mixed Brigade, Hubei 1st Mixed Brigade, and Shanxi 1st Mixed Brigade acted as the landing Japanese troops, and the other units acted as Chinese defenders. No matter which side was defeated, the chief officers of each unit had to report to the headquarters.  Deep review!¡±

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    In Beijing, due to Sun Yuanqi¡¯s special instructions beforehand, the secret negotiations between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Germany were relaxed and the overall progress was within China¡¯s control.  The German side was eager to obtain information on the Kirin 13 tank and the Biluo 12 long-range bomber, so it repeatedly made huge concessions during the negotiation process. Even Chen Xiangyun, who participated in the negotiation, felt that Germany was sincere and spent a lot of money, which was simply unacceptable.  reject.  Even so, the negotiations dragged on until the afternoon of June 27, the third year of the Republic of China, before the two sides finally signed a trade agreement.

    According to the agreement, Germany exchanged submarine technical data and 1.28 tons of gold for design drawings and related experimental data of China¡¯s Kirin 13 tanks and Biluo 12 long-range bombers. All transactions were completed at the end of July.  After the deal was concluded, Germany returned the leased Jiaoao area to China for free., the handover procedures will be completed before the end of August.

    Mr. Harhausen, the German minister who participated in the negotiations, was very confused about the sudden end of the negotiations and the period of returning the Jiao'ao area. When signing the agreement, he couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Johnson, why did you choose to end the negotiations and sign the agreement suddenly at this time?"  ?Did your country encounter any difficulties? If possible, our German Empire is willing to come forward to help mediate! "

    Although Sun Yuanqi was very grateful to Harhausen for his kindness, he would never tell him that Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, the heirs to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, would be shot to death in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia, tomorrow, which would lead to the fuse of the First World War.  .  He smiled and said: "The reason why we ended the negotiations and signed the agreement today is that, on the one hand, after nearly two months of arduous negotiations, all the provisions have fully reflected the willingness of both parties to cooperate, and now the signing is a matter of course; on the other hand, because of Plan  Mr. Planck and his family are about to arrive in China for an academic visit, and I would like to use this as a congratulatory gift to express the Chinese people¡¯s warm welcome to the German people, especially Mr. Planck¡¯s family!¡±

    Harhausen naturally didn¡¯t believe it: ¡°Then why does our government want to return the Jiao¡¯ao area to your country early, but you insist on delaying the handover until all transactions are completed?¡±

    Sun Yuanqi sighed: "Your Excellency, Minister, you don't know the extent of penetration of Japanese spies in China! According to relevant intelligence, as early as the 1970s and 1980s, when China was still in the early years of Guangxu of the Qing Empire, the Japanese government used various  Intelligence personnel are continuously dispatched to China in various ways, including school teachers, military instructors, government consultants, tourists, businessmen, traveling students, monks, etc., to spy on Chinese intelligence from multiple levels such as education, military, politics, culture, commerce, religion, etc.  , and constantly bribed officials, developed offline, and established multiple intelligence networks.

    "To this day, we can no longer imagine how powerful this intelligence network is, but what is conceivable is that from the central ministries to local prefectures and counties, they have their intelligence personnel. China has no secrets for Japan at all.  Even our cabinet and your embassy cannot guarantee that there are any Japanese spies! How could such a big thing as the handover of the Jiao'ao area be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Japanese? Your Excellency, Minister, you can imagine that if they followed this matter,  What will happen if it is discovered that our two countries are secretly trading weapons information?"

    Harhausen blinked his blue eyes: "Will they protest?"

    Sun Yuanqi said: "Japan covets Shandong and has always wanted to open a gap in the Jiao'ao area. If it hears that your country suddenly returns it to China, it will almost certainly lodge a protest. But Japan's actions go beyond that. They will also ask their ally Britain  Tip the news. Your Excellency, the Minister, should know that Europe is barely maintaining a fragile balance at the moment, and any disturbance may trigger violent conflicts. And your country suddenly possesses tanks and new bombers, two weapons that undermine the strategic balance, which are undoubtedly the most likely to break the balance.  This balance! Because one of them can threaten France and Russia from land, and the other can threaten France, Russia and even the UK alone overseas from the air.

    "If Britain wants to prevent Germany from possessing these two weapons that undermine the strategic balance, the most direct and effective way is to use the powerful British navy to sink ships carrying information back to Germany. If not, then start a war as soon as possible to avoid these two  Weapons are put into production and equipped with troops, leaving the Allied Powers militarily passive. - Of course, it is also possible to force our country to hand over the same weapons design drawings through coercion, thereby achieving another balance in Europe. But no matter which way the United Kingdom adopts  Any method will cause endless trouble to China and Germany. In this case, why can't we put the return of the Jiao'ao area after all trade is completed?"

    Harhausen thought for a moment and then asked: "But if Japan really has the ability to spy on the inside story of the transaction between the two countries from the return of Jiao'ao area, then even if we hand over the trade after the completion, it is still possible for Japan to discover the truth, thus giving China and Germany a  It will bring endless trouble to the country! It¡¯s just a matter of time.¡±

    Sun Yuanqi scratched his head and said: "Don't bother telling the truth to the Minister. Our government has privately informed the US government through the Minister to the United States, Mr. Xia Kiefu, that China will maintain absolute neutrality from August this year and will not participate in any national alliance. I hope that the United States will  Come forward to request the European countries to agree that no acts of war shall occur on Chinese territory or leased areas at any time and for any reason in the future. At present, the US government is negotiating with Britain, France, Russia and other countries on this issue, and it is expected that an agreement should be reached in August  . Until then, we naturally don¡¯t have to worry about Japan and the UK coming to trouble us!¡±

    "That's it!" Harhausen nodded with sudden realization, but he was still unwilling to give up: "Your Excellency, are you really unwilling to join the Allies to jointly resist the suppression and restraint of emerging countries by the great powers?"
