    Fang Zida has considered this matter thoroughly. Not only will he not reveal the assassination case again, but he also does not intend to pursue the Japanese behind the riot.  Although today's Republic of China is very different from the Republic of China in the original history, both national strength and international status have been greatly improved, but compared with Japan, the Chinese government still lacks a lot, especially in the navy. According to the report of the Navy Ministry,  It will take two to three years to truly form a combat capability with those ships that will take over Germany and the new aircraft carriers and other new ships under construction.

    In his early years, Fang Zida was once an angry youth. In online forums or with friends over a few glasses of beer, he would rant about the "rickets" of the country's foreign policy, boasting about what he would do if he were in power.  In this position, the perspective of considering issues is completely different. Formulating national policies is not just treating guests to dinner. It is so casual and simple. The overall consideration of the country must not only look at the domestic situation, but also the international situation. If one step is not careful, the entire country will be brought to extremes.  The edge of danger.

    "Brother Runtian is in a bad mood today." Yang Du said meaningfully after taking a sip of tea.

    "It's not easy for Runtian. Xizi, you can go visit him for me later and tell him that sometimes it's more difficult to endure humiliation than to talk big words. This time, Cao Runtian will be blamed by the people for someone on our side, or will he?"  In that sentence, it¡¯s a helpless move before the time comes!¡±

    Fang Zida said with a wry smile, Yang Du understood what he was thinking and nodded slightly in agreement.  However, Yang Du still complained a little in his heart and couldn't help but ask: "I, Yang, can still understand Zhang Ming's layout, but why do you stop at Japan? In my opinion, it's better to force someone to do it."  It¡¯s better to force it.¡±

    "Forcing? Of course you can do it if you really want to, but Xizi, have you ever thought about it. Once you push too hard, it will be counterproductive. Don't Xizi know what kind of character this Japanese is? What's more, the emperor of Japan is no longer in charge, and the crown prince  Regent. Once the young faction of the Japanese army overwhelms the conservatives and responds with a tough attitude, can we still take the initiative to go to war? You know, I am not worried about the army, but the problem is the navy time! What we still lack is time! "

    After hearing this, Yang Du sighed and nodded slightly.

    Fang Zida thought for a while and then said: "But, although you can't force, you can still make some trouble. You tell Cao Runtian, just say it was me who told you. The evidence about Yin Ruizhi mainly focuses on the East Asia Trading Company, so that  Japan needs to give our country an explanation. As for the special higher education courses and so on, just a few words will be enough, so as to give the other side a reminder."

    "Zhang Ming wants to knock on the mountain to stern the tiger?" Yang Du asked, and then smiled and said: "That's good. It can give the Chinese people a reluctant explanation, and it can also make the Japanese restrain themselves. Wait until everything is ready. Then we can take care of the old man.  Turn over the account and settle it together?"

    "Hahaha! Xizi still understands me!" Fang Zida also laughed immediately, and when their eyes met, they were speechless.

    The trial is still going on, but after the first day of court, the newspapers that night published the sensational news. By the second day, newspapers and radios from various countries also reported on it, especially Yin Ruizhi¡¯s appearance in the court.  The insider information about the Soviets and Japan disclosed in the Internet caused an uproar at home and abroad.

    The Soviets are dead pigs and are not afraid of boiling water.  Anyway, they are already blocked by various countries, and international public opinion condemnation and sanctions will have no effect at all.  As for the Japanese government, it is a little depressed.  Media from various countries are rushing to report that some old imperialists, such as the United Kingdom and France, are even more dissatisfied with the Japanese government. In their view, Japan, as an ally during the European War, not only did not contribute much, but instead took the opportunity to engage in quarrels in Asia, waiting for the war.  After it was over, he considered himself the victor.  They came running and clamoring for a share of the pie.  Now they are taking advantage of the post-war weakness of European countries to carry out small actions in the Far East. They are even flirting with the Soviet government, their sworn enemy in the Western world, and cooperating with the Bolsheviks in exporting revolution and revolutionary insurrection.

    This incident has made the Western world very angry. If Japan can do this to the Chinese government today, it may do the same to the colonies of other countries in the East tomorrow.  This is almost a manifestation of cheating. Doing so not only harms the interests of Western countries in the East, but also destroys the mutual commitment to reach private sanctions against the Soviets.

    At the same time, the Chinese government also protested to the Japanese government and asked Japan to explain this incident. In particular, East Asia Trading Company, as a Japanese private business organization, actually engaged in espionage to subvert the government on the territory of other countries. This is unprecedented for any country.  not allowed.  If the Japanese government cannot provide a satisfactory answer, the Chinese government will consider temporarily suspending commercial cooperation with Japan and retain the possibility of taking more stringent measures.

    After the incident spread, the Japanese side was silent. It was not until the third day that a little old man from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came out and said a few words calmly.  The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also stated on behalf of the Japanese government that Japan has no knowledge of the subversion taking place in China.??This is not an act of the Japanese government at all, it is entirely a private act of some businessmen who are unscrupulous for profit.  In order to express Japan's attitude, the Japanese government has investigated the matter and hopes that this small trouble will not affect Japan's relations with other countries.

    This attitude of the Japanese government immediately aroused strong reactions from all walks of life, and various media outlets pursued Japan fiercely. Countries, especially the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have repeatedly asked Japan to provide reasonable conclusions, instead of covering up the past with a few words like this.  And Japan is not idle either. They push back on big things and put all small responsibilities on someone's head. As soon as they turn around, they dress themselves up to be more pure and innocent than a virgin.

    Fang Zida had already anticipated this outcome and had made arrangements from the beginning.  As for some domestic mass activities against Japan and the Soviet Union, Fang Zida did not interfere as long as they were in compliance with the law. He knew that sometimes letting the people vent a little was also a political method, and blind pressure was just a fool's policy.  means.

    The quarrel between the government and Japan is expected to continue for some time. Fang Zida predicts that the final result will be that the Japanese government hands over a few scapegoats. It is absolutely impossible to do anything to the Japanese in this matter.  The most serious problem now is still in the north. If we use this to contain Japan in advance and make it temporarily unable to provide private support to the Soviet government in terms of military and intelligence, then the time to solve the problem in the north will come.

    Wu Peifu's military plan was finally completed after several revisions. It has now been placed on Fang Zida's desk. After reading the entire plan carefully, Fang Zida didn't say anything for a long time. He frowned slightly and seemed to be considering whether to implement this plan.

    "Ziyu, what do you think is the success rate of this plan?"

    "Half, if I were to command all the troops, it might rise to 70%."

    Fang Zida was speechless. Although he knew that he was certain, the success rate in Wu Peifu's mind was already very high, but if it failed, the National Defense Forces would bear heavy losses.  This time the plan put forward by the General Staff will mobilize 5 reorganized divisions, plus the two divisions currently on the Siberian defense line, a total of nearly 170,000 people, although this number only accounts for 1/20 of the entire Wehrmacht.  , but war is not a simple addition or subtraction of numbers. You must know that in order to ensure the success of the plan, these troops are the elite of the National Defense Forces.

    In addition, Russia has a vast territory, and the logistics of an army of nearly 200,000 people is also a huge problem. If you add in the manpower and material resources used for logistics supply and material allocation, this is almost an astronomical figure.

    "Let's let it go for now, let's wait and see what happens." Fang Zida has never been able to make up his mind. It is not easy for the country to get to this point. Once it falls into the quagmire of war, the efforts of the past ten years will be in vain.  The Soviet government and the orthodox government of the Russian Empire are still in a stalemate. Fang Zida still wants to wait. After all, autumn is coming soon. Russia¡¯s autumn is short, and the long and cold winter is not conducive to fighting north. In any case, we must get through this year first.  Even if war does start, it would be better to wait until tomorrow spring.

    There was a slight flash of disappointment in Wu Peifu's expression, and it was obvious that he had his own thoughts on this war.  It¡¯s no wonder that in recent years, except for the ¡°Second Revolution¡± Shandong War and the subsequent Sino-Japanese local war, Wu Peifu, as the Chief of General Staff, has never fought a good war at all. Even when he went to Europe, he was on a military observation mission.  It is not as enjoyable as Feng Guozhang commanding the army to gallop across Europe.  Wu Peifu had a high self-esteem. He simply looked down on Feng Guozhang's military skills. He wanted to use this trip to the north to show off his talents in the national war. Who would have thought that the military plan he had worked so hard on was finally put aside by Fang Zida. For a moment, his chest felt empty.

    Fang Zida keenly caught Wu Peifu's reaction and immediately comforted him with a smile: "Sun Tzu's Art of War begins with this: Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival! Ziyu is familiar with military books and thinks he knows it better than me.  The reasoning behind this is that the Soviet Union is a big country, and if it cannot be decided in one battle with lightning speed, the consequences will be endless! But don¡¯t worry, Ziyu, wait until next spring, once the country decides to send troops north, you will be the inevitable choice to be the commander-in-chief.  "

    "Is this true?!" Wu Peifu's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly.

    "Of course! Could it be that Ziyu still can't trust me?"

    "Haha, you can trust it, you can trust it" Wu Peifu chuckled while rubbing his hands, and stood up with a cheerful face: "In this case, I won't delay your official duties. I will carefully plan this plan when I get back to make sure it is foolproof."

    After sending Wu Peifu away with a smile, Fang Zida walked a few steps in the room, then came to the desk and made a phone call.

    "Notify Chen Fu immediately and ask him to return to Beijing immediately!" (To be continued)
