Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Japanese have sent out troops! Definitely not!  If the Japanese army lands in the Republic of China, the consequences will be all-round.  Zhang Zuolin's original reputation was not very good, and the reputation of the Zhang family and his son as a soldier was also very bad.  If Zhang Zuolin's head is hot and he dares to lead the Japanese into Guan this is the Republic of China version of Wu Sangui.  But the Republic of China was not the last years of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty at that time was also a first-class dynasty in the world.  There is no force around that could interfere with the final fate of this dynasty.  But the Republic of China was different. The situation in Asia was originally very simple. The Japanese were kings and hegemons, the British turned a blind eye, the French pretended to be innocent, and the only Americans with conflicts of interest were wealthy and powerful. Anyway, Japan wanted to send troops to the Republic of China.  It's hard without a reason.  Especially in recent years, it has been even more difficult.  The Japanese government has been preaching to the people all day long, save a meal and support the construction of the navy They are so poor that they have tightened their belts, but they still dare to go out to fight, just dream!  But this is far from enough. This little money given to the Navy is basically still in the water, and it won¡¯t even be able to soak up the water.  The navy is a bottomless pit. This is no longer the navy of the Beiyang Fleet period.  With a military expenditure of three million taels a year, one or two fleets, supporting seaports and talent training bases can be built for 20 to 30 years.  In the 1920s, when a battleship often cost tens of millions, the cost of building a battleship has changed from real money to numbers.  For just one battleship, the Nagato, the Japanese Navy spent US$12 million from the battleship project to its launch.  After being launched, the warship cannot fight. During the one-year sea trial, the artillery test and the warship stability test require that the barrels of all the main guns must be broken at least twice. How much does this cost, and what happens in bad sea conditions?  Battleship survivability, etc. If this money is spent, it will be endless, as despairing as the vast ocean.  At least, the current situation of the Republic of China is absolutely unaffordable.  Of course, the Japanese government is gritting its teeth and persisting.  So Japan doesn¡¯t dare to fight with the Americans at this juncture. What¡¯s the reason?  If the Japanese navy wants to develop, the only way is to issue national debt on Wall Street in the United States.  It is tantamount to leaving life in the hands of Americans.  Why does Japan not issue bonds domestically?  Do you have to go to the United States?  The level of poverty in Japan is almost the same as that in the Republic of China Don¡¯t think that the Republic of China era was dark. Japan¡¯s Taisho era was as dark as the Showa era before the end of World War II.  Even in comparison, it is darker than the Republic of China.  One of the most common phenomena in Japan at that time was that there were no villages without girls.  Is it scary?  Okay, I can¡¯t explain it clearly, but the meaning of this village without girls is that many rural areas in Japan had to sell girls in order to survive.  The ugly ones, the crooked ones, went to work as female workers in the factory, and the good-looking ones were sent together to the Sakura Hall to pick up guests, making money for the country, and losing a generation of girls to pay for the rise of Japan.  This is why there are no villages with girls.  At that time, romantic places like Japan Sakura Kaikan could be found almost all over the world.  This shows how crazy this nation is.  And not just as a tool for making money, the Japanese government has also turned these agencies into intelligence collection agencies.  Don¡¯t think this is alarmist, you can find a big problem by studying Japan¡¯s economic structure.  Japan's economic structure simply cannot support its huge military construction and expenditure.  In Japan in the 1920s, the textile industry was a pillar industry. This is easy to understand. The British also became like this.  But what is the pickle industry that accounts for nearly 10% of the gross national product?  If you look at Japan¡¯s economic data in the 1920s, you can find that the proportion of pickle industry output has been fluctuating around 10%.  Of course soy sauce is important, and MSG is also important, but the proportion it takes up in the national economy is totally wrong.  With so much pickles produced, can the Japanese use them all?  It will definitely not be used up, it will have to be sold all over the world.  ??The gap between the wage level in Japan¡¯s textile industry and Western countries is even more serious than that in the Republic of China.  The female textile factory worker's diet included only one dish every day, soup.  The most nutritious tofu soup can only be eaten once a week. The others are kelp soup, seaweed soup and the like.  The country has been squeezed by the government to the brink of collapse.  Fortunately, the Japanese have strong endurance. If they dared to do this in Europe and the United States, they would have gone on strike long ago.  But even if the Japanese are very patient, the domestic strikes are becoming more and more serious every time.  The Japanese consortium has money, and the government can obtain considerable tax revenue, but Japanese civilians simply do not continue to purchase debt issued by the state.  If you don¡¯t look for the United States, who should you look for?  There is no automobile industry!  There is no communications industry!  There is no record industry!  There is no aviation industry??! ?¡­ ?This is Japan¡¯s economic structure in the early 1920s. It¡¯s very bad, isn¡¯t it?  In the 1920s, Japan's largest civilian industrial product sold in the world was a foreign car. In the Republic of China, it had a more down-to-earth name: rickshaw.  If Yuan Shikai worked hard, it would not be impossible to crush Japan to death.  There is not even a decent machinery manufacturing industry. Everyone starts at the same level. The Republic of China has an absolute advantage in terms of resources. There is no reason why it cannot catch up.  However, Japan's economic foundation has been laid. After 40 to 50 years of construction, domestic transportation is very developed.  Shipbuilding also flourished.  But it is undeniable that Japan is a country without much domestic demand.  It is not unusually difficult for such a country to rise.  Therefore, in the 1920s, the Japanese military's military expenditures were very stuck.  The cabinet does not allow war to be launched. Of course, if launching a war can gain huge benefits, there is no reason to say so.  The military department has no money, and the army's military expenditures are also insufficient. Perhaps the only ones who can live a happy life are the Kwantung Army.  Own the huge profits of the South Manchuria Railway.  Although most of it has to be turned over, it is not impossible to intercept some secretly.  But if you really want to say that the Kwantung Army sent troops to intervene in the domestic situation of the Republic of China, it really didn't have the guts.  The Kwantung Army has only a few people in total, and if it is full, it will be more than 10,000 people.  When Zhang Zuolin was so arrogant, he thought in his heart: My Fengjun army can destroy the Kwantung Army. If Fengjun's navy is not powerful, it is not impossible to capture North Korea as well.  Under such external conditions, the "Declaration" kept saying that Japanese soldiers appeared on the battlefield of the Republic of China-Fenghuang War. Even Zhang Zuolin felt aggrieved.  ¡°Pa¡­¡± ¡°What a slander! This is Wang Xueqian¡¯s deliberate move, just to ruin Fengjun¡¯s reputation.¡± Zhang Zuolin¡¯s old face turned red and he cursed with unforgivable anger.  It is not a secret that the super warlords of the Republic of China have foreign backers.  Everyone knows that the people behind Zhang Zuolin¡¯s army are the Japanese. However, the Japanese have sent troops to intervene in the military operations of the Republic of China, but they will not do so openly.  During the Zhili-Anhui War, Japanese military camps along the railway blocked Wu Peifu's army from the Zhili Clan.  But neither side took action at that time.  And the Japanese government¡¯s excuse for intervening in the civil war of the Republic of China at that time was also justified, which was to protect the railways.  But what if there are Japanese soldiers among the Fengjun?  Military advisors do not count. The army¡¯s hiring of foreign military advisors was a very common thing in the Republic of China and was not worth holding on to.  For example, Okamura Neiji, who once played an important role in Sun Chuanfang's Second Division of the Beiyang Army, with power equivalent to the chief of staff, and others such as Matsui Iwane, all served in the local army of the Republic of China or the Beiyang Army.  The role of consultants.  Military advisers and combat staff are not combatants, so the problem is not big.  But what about combatants?  This is a big problem. In theory, no one is allowed to appear.  Zhang Zuolin does not feel that he has touched the bottom line, and if the "Declaration" reveals it, there will be a big problem.     Have it?     should not.  Then it is the most shameless slanderous slander.  And the vicious thing is that if this is confirmed, Zhang Zuolin will immediately be labeled Ergouzi on his forehead.  This is much more serious than signing a traitorous treaty.  ¡°In the final analysis, Zhang Zuolin really doesn¡¯t have the courage.  Not only haven¡¯t I, I haven¡¯t even thought about it.  This was the reason for his anger. The other big figures in the Fengjun Palace showed anger at being slandered, but there was only one person with a smile on his face. This person was Yang Yuting, a strategic talent that Zhang Zuolin relied heavily on.  .  The furious Zhang Zuolin was still roaring: "If Fengtian Daily is to refute the inaccurate report of Shenbao and expose its sinister intentions, we, Fengjun, cannot bear this blame for no reason. Since Wang Xueqian has lost his face, we might as well serve him  Don't be idle, just say that Zhejiang is a puppet government supported by the Americans. Let's see how Wang Xueqian has the nerve to stay in the political arena of the Republic of China!" "Commander, "Fengtian Daily" can only be published in the three eastern provinces" said  The person is Zhang Jinglin, who can also be regarded as Zhang Zuolin¡¯s old brother.  However, this man's military achievements were almost minimal, and he mainly made achievements in local government affairs.  This is almost a god-like last hit.  "Fengtian Daily's status really had no market in the public opinion circles of the Republic of China.  It is distributed in the three northeastern provinces, mainly around Fengtian.  Compared with nationally distributed newspapers such as "Shen Bao" and "The News", how can "Fengtian Bao", which can only sell 10,000 to 20,000 copies of the newspaper a day, compare with "Shen Bao", which can be bought all over the country?  This is the same as scolding.  One side stood on the street with his arms akimbo and his chest out, spitting.The tone of voice was ups and downs, and the momentum was rolling in like thunder; but what about the other party?  He's a mute, that's right, he's a mute. He's just bullying the disabled. How can he be recruited?  If you are not convinced, scold me back!  When Zhang Zuolin realized that he was the miserable mute, his face suddenly turned gloomy. Damn, how can I get away with this?  Many of the newspapers in the Republic of China were official mouthpieces. There must be newspapers with conscience, but newspapers are also run by people. They are a capitalist industry. They not only need to make money and attract attention, but also make conditional choices to compromise under the pressure of the government.  .  In terms of strength, "Shen Shen" can stand on the national level and angrily accuse Zhang Zuolin of being a traitor.  But "Fengtian News"?  Forget it, except for the three northeastern provinces, no one is willing to spend this unjust money.  In this war of public opinion, Zhang Zuolin has no choice but to fight back or scold him.  But how could he bear this tone!  For Zhang Zuolin, this situation was as uncomfortable as blocking the door.  Black and white, he could only endure it without even a chance to refute.  As for the newspapers run by the Japanese, if they were published in the Republic of China, Wang Xueqian had a way to make the Japanese investment go away in minutes.  As for newspapers published in Japan?  Who wants to meddle in this business?  Zhang Zuolin accepted this fact with great frustration. His eyes were filled with grievances and tears as he looked in the direction of Yanjing. If he could take over Yanjing, at least the "Beijing News" would still have some status in the Republic of China.  .  At least the distribution in North China is good, and it is not like "Fengtian Daily", which may not even be sold to Tianjin.  At this moment, more than at any other time in his life, he was looking forward to being able to enter the Pass, where hundreds of thousands of troops would march south and defeat him.  The scene of common hatred and hatred could not last long. Yang Yuting coughed and spoke: "The newspaper did not say that the Japanese sent troops, it just said that Japanese soldiers participated in the civil war of the Republic of China and interfered with the sovereignty of the Republic of China." "What's the point of this?  It's easy to say, that's what Wang Xueqian means." Zhang Zuolin cursed fiercely: "If this piece of shit falls into my hands, I will kill him." "Everyone who can enter the commander-in-chief's house to discuss matters is in Fengjun.  Among them, there are lords with status and status, who are either the overlords of one party or the leading generals who hold military power.  But there is one exception, he is Zhang Zuolin's eldest son, Zhang Xueliang.  This guy seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't dare to say it.  He didn't dare to say it, so naturally someone would say it for him.  Of course, in Zhang Xueliang¡¯s view, this is definitely not a good intention.  "The problem here is huge. First of all, there are no Japanese troops joining the battlefield. We can all guarantee this." Yang Yuting said: "Commander, everyone, have you ever thought about it?  According to common sense, the troops in Fengjun's battle on the Great Wall were all our soldiers, and there were no Japanese participation in the staff. But why did the "Declaration" suddenly report that Fengjun accepted Japanese soldiers and participated in the battle? " Yang Yuting's mind?  , is definitely one of the best among the Fengjun. He is actually like the Japanese military think tank Nagata Tetsuyama who played a decisive role in the modernization of the Japanese army and the establishment of a super army.  Japan has completed the transformation of the weapon ratio of the active military to meet the needs of modern warfare; its logistics support has been greatly improved; especially the construction of reserve forces, Japan's war potential has been tapped as never before.  Yang Yuting¡¯s role for Fengjun is no less important than Nagata Tieshan¡¯s role for the Japanese army.  With his persistence, Fengjun acquired the capability of military production and was able to meet Fengjun's needs.  Weapons and ammunition have become self-sufficient, increasing the ability to continue war.  Moreover, despite financial difficulties, a complete set of combat readiness and defense systems for the three northeastern provinces were built using road networks.  If the young commander hadn't resisted later, he would have been able to delay the Japanese attack for several months just by relying on this system.  And his influence on Zhang Zuolin is unmatched by anyone in the army.  Even Sun Liechen cannot compare with him.  However, Yang Yuting is, after all, a top military aide, and he is not good at commanding operations on the battlefield.  He also doesn¡¯t have much battlefield experience.  But he was the most important military adviser around Zhang Zuolin, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe Zhang Zuolin's strategic dependence on him in terms of words and tricks.  Zhang Zuolin carefully weighs the meaning of every word he says in his heart, which shows how much he values ??Yang Yuting.  However, it is also a common problem for this kind of people to be arrogant about their talents, and Yang Yuting's popularity is not very good.  "Lin Ge, what are you talking about?" "There are definitely no Japanese participating in the regular troops. Besides, the Japanese look similar to us, except that their legs are shorter. If we don't have close contact, we can't tell the difference at all  "You mean in the special army?" Zhang Zuolin suddenly realized at Yang Yuting's prompt that there really was someone in the army.?Officers and NCOs.  There are some in military academies and some in the navy.  This is not a secret at all, but when his heart was beating wildly, he suddenly remembered: "The navy did not participate in the battle! I simply don't dare to send the navy to attack Tianjin." Based on the tonnage and artillery caliber of the Fengjun Navy's main ships,  Attacking the Dagukou Fort and launching a landing operation would be a suicide attempt.  Zhang Zuolin would never issue such an unreliable order.  "Where is the tank unit?" Zhang Xueliang's face looked ugly at this time. He suddenly thought of a possibility and really let the "Declaration" speak. At this time, he could only pray that Yang Yuting would not hold on to it: "The tank unit must be  No. "In fact, the Fengjun armored vehicle force at this time was only one battalion in size.  Moreover, the French tanks purchased are not easy to use, and the risk of failure is high.  In addition, it was a mountainous battle, and there were more battles from above, so the tanks did not play their role at all.  When Zhang Xueliang saw Yang Yuting asking about the tank troops, the tension in his heart relaxed a little. He could guarantee this.  But when he saw Yang Yuting¡¯s weird smile that made him sick, Zhang Xueliang completely understood that this bastard definitely did it on purpose.  Then Yang Yuting said, "What about the Air Force?" "Air Force!" Zhang Xueliang lost his voice and suddenly felt as if his neck was stuck. His face turned red, and then he sank as blue as stone
