    In the end, it was Tanaka Giichi himself who became famous. On the grounds that Akiyama Yoshiko was already in his sixties and was sick from overwork in the Russo-Japanese War and had hidden dangers, he rejected the public opinion and put his close confidant, Ugaki, who had never commanded a battle.  Lieutenant General Issei was appointed as the commander of the Empire's Shandong Expeditionary Force. It is said that Akiyama Yoshiko was so angry when he heard the news that he drew his samurai sword and wanted to kill Tanaka Giichi, and claimed that he would use Tanaka's despicable blood to wash away the shame of his samurai.  I don¡¯t know whether Akiyama Haogu wants to wash away shame or lice.  With the selection of the head coach determined, the next step is the players who will participate in the game.  Although Ugaki Kazunari has never led an army to fight, he also knows that the Chinese army cannot be defeated by Araki Sadao with 30 million bamboo spears, so with the support of Tanaka Giichi, he of course selects the best to fight.  .  At this time, Japan's dispatch of troops to Shandong did have certain risks. Due to the dispatch of troops to Siberia, Japan's 3rd Division, 7th Division, and 12th Division were the first to arrive in Siberia. At first, because the war went smoothly, Japan soon  Recruitment of reserve forces was cancelled, but in February 1919, the Russian Red Army guerrillas successfully ambushed the Tanaka Brigade with a team of 2,000 people in the cold winter, killing 310 Japanese soldiers. Japan, which originally thought the war was over, subsequently deployed people from the country  The Fifth Division, the Fourteenth Division, and the Sixteenth Division went to Siberia. As a result, six of the seventeen standing divisions were transferred to Siberia, and the remaining eleven divisions,  The First Division is an existence that cannot be mobilized. In other words, Ugaki Kazunari can only choose people from the ten divisions now.  The Second Division is naturally the first choice. In the words of Ugaki Kazunari, the Imperial Army can defeat the Chinese even without the Second Division, but if the Second Division can participate, then Shandong's victory will be more guaranteed.  The commander of the Second Division at the time was Kawachi Reiz¨­. Logically speaking, he should not have replaced the commander on the spot. However, considering that Ugaki Kazunari had no actual combat merits to suppress these veteran soldiers in Kawachi, Tanaka Yoshiichi did not hesitate to replace the division commander.  , appointed Major General Masatake Nakajima as the division commander, and the subordinate combat units of the second division: 3rd Infantry Brigade: including the 4th Infantry Regiment, 29th Infantry Regiment; 15th Infantry Brigade: including the 16th Infantry Regiment  , 30th Infantry Regiment; 2nd Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Mountain Artillery Regiment, 2nd Engineer Regiment, 2nd Transport Regiment.  Next is the 9th Division. The division commander is Lieutenant General Matsuura Kanwei, who is also the division commander temporarily transferred by Tanaka. The subordinate combat units are: 6th Infantry Brigade: including the 7th Infantry Regiment and the 35th Infantry Regiment;  18th Infantry Brigade: including the 18th Infantry Regiment, the 36th Infantry Regiment; the 9th Cavalry Regiment, the 9th Mountain Artillery Regiment, the 9th Engineer Regiment, and the 9th Transport Regiment.  Finally, there is the 11th Division. The division commander, Lieutenant General Honjo Shige, has subordinate combat units: The 10th Infantry Brigade: including the 12th Infantry Regiment, the 22nd Infantry Regiment; The 22nd Infantry Brigade: including the 43rd Infantry Regiment.  The 44th Infantry Regiment; the 11th Cavalry Regiment, the 11th Mountain Artillery Regiment, the 11th Engineer Regiment, and the 11th Transport Regiment.  Tanaka Giichi seemed to be a little worried about Ugaki Kazunari, and he was cautious. He also mobilized the 13th Division of Saikawa Torajiro and the 18th Division of Lieutenant General Takayama Komichi to Kyushu to be on standby and attack at any time according to the battle situation. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? won't start a war for a while, because a very funny situation has arisen now.  Zhang Zuolin thought he had a plan and wanted to trick both Wang Zhenyu and the Japanese into the Shandong scheme. However, both the Japanese and Wang Zhenyu actually knew about the existence of this scheme, and they were also using this scheme to scheme against each other, so they both  Pretending not to know.  But war is actually about the right time, place and people. The hot summer is obviously not a good opportunity for a decisive battle in Shandong. So first of all, Wang Zhenyu did not lead here. The youth army did not move, and Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu Allied Forces naturally did not  There is no way to move, but you can't just stupidly shout that you want to rebel when your nominal allies don't take any action. That doesn't mean you are exposing yourself.  Wang Zhenyu is naturally not in a hurry. It will take time to implement new secret weapons such as tanks, aircraft, and submarines if they are to be most effective on the battlefield.  So the situation in Shandong began to escalate when Chinese representative Gu Weijun refused to sign on June 28, but it has not detonated yet.  At the same time, Japan did not give up its efforts to settle Southern China through peaceful means. Toushan Man, an old friend of Sun Wen, came to Nanjing at this time.  "Sun Wenjun, when can we go to watch the cherry blossoms together again?" Toushan Man and Sun Wen are old friends, and there is no need to get straight to the point of many things.  "Well, we are busy with national affairs. Recently, our National Government has launched new rural pilot projects in several provinces. No, I just returned from inspecting the pilot areas in Guangdong.""If you come a few days later, I will have to go to Henan again." Sun Wen was honest with Tou Shanman, a Japanese friend who used to support his anti-Manchu. "Such a small thing still requires you to do this."  Did the big shot personally ask?  Tou Shanman asked very curiously. This is Soong Qingling personally bringing the tea. Tou Shanman quickly stood up to receive the tea. Soong Qingling and Sun Wen smiled at each other and left. Sun Wenqian took a sip of tea and smiled:  "This is completely normal. We are further ahead on the path of democratic politics than you are. Strictly speaking, your Prime Minister Hara Kyung is the first democratically elected Prime Minister, while I, the National Government, became the first democratically elected Prime Minister two years ago.  It is already supervised and restricted by the National Assembly, so it is impossible not to work diligently. You may not know that my term as chairman of the National Government will expire in October next year, and I will probably have to re-elect by then, right?  Brother Touyamaman, you came all the way from Japan and you didn¡¯t just look at me, right?  " Tou Shanman picked up the tea cup and tasted it slowly. This was his usual habit and kept a sense of mystery. Sun Wen seemed to know this habit of his. He waited for Tou Shanman with Wang Jingwei who was sitting next to him. He was not in a hurry.  After a long time, Toushan Mancai said: "Good tea, Sun Wenjun, I am here for peace between China and Japan. Maybe you don't know that in Japan, ten divisions have been ordered to be mobilized.  got up.  " Sun Wen and Wang Jingwei looked at each other, with unbearable horror in their eyes. Sun Wen tried to stay calm and asked: "Mr. Toushan, what happened? Why didn't we receive any news? And why did we  I haven¡¯t received any representations from your country¡¯s diplomatic agency. What¡¯s going on?  " Tou Shanman pretended to be surprised: "Sun Wenjun, don't you know that Wang Zhenyu, chairman of the National Government's Military Commission, is secretly negotiating with Zhang Zongchang, the Shandong governor appointed by the central government in Beijing.  Sun Wen was horrified, shook his head and said: "This Wang Wenzheng is said to be a person in charge of the Military Commission under the leadership of the Nationalist Government, but in fact he is no longer a revolutionary. He has transformed into a new warlord.  The year before last, a military coup was launched, which forced me to go to Shanghai for some medical rest.  " "There is also this matter. I heard a little bit about it at the time. I was just busy with the Black Dragon Club and ignored it. Sin, sin." Tou Shanman started acting again. Sun Wen waved his hands and said: "The military man is in power and the country is in chaos. This is what our country is currently experiencing.  The root cause of the chaos is Zhang Zuolin in the north and Wang Wenzheng in the south. Alas, fortunately, our National Government is now on the right track. In terms of civil affairs alone, this person does not have much involvement, and in terms of military supplies, it takes money from the government.  It¡¯s also limited, so to speak, it¡¯s pretty passable.  " Tou Shanman looked at Sun Wen blankly, and suddenly burst into tears and said: "Sun Sang, you are still such a simple person. Have you forgotten the lessons learned by Yuan Shikai? In terms of contribution to China, who can compare with you Sun Sang?  Compared with Sun Sang, Wang Zhenyu obviously lacks reputation, so he has the name of National Government. How can Sun Sang wait for him to become stronger? There has never been any peaceful coexistence in politics. The leader is the leader, and there can only be one.  Sun Sang.  " At this point, Toushanman paused and wiped his tears and said: "I know that Sun Sang may not listen to my words, but many things can be done at once. Sun Sang, if there is another military coup, just leave from Hongkou, Shanghai. I will  Someone will be arranged to pick you up there and take you to Japan to escape.  " Sun Wen was completely confused now: "Toushan Jun, I am so confused when I ask you to say this now. What is going on?  " Tou Shanman lowered his head and said: "Sun Sang, are you really trapped in your bones? Your nominal subordinate Wang Zhenyu has gone crazy. In order to realize his dream of unification by force and the vanity of a national hero, he actually wants to directly fight with Japan.  The Empire is at war in Shandong. Didn't you know that a full 250,000 National Government troops are stationed along the Yellow River? Nearly 300,000 Imperial troops will be sent to Shandong to punish this provocative approach.  " Sun Wen and Wang Jingwei were immediately shocked. After a long time, Wang Jingwei suddenly slammed the table and said: "Sir, I knew that this Wang Wen was just a wolf with ambition. We finally created a situation of local peaceful development through the war to protect the country.  It's all going to be ruined in his hands, sir.  " At this time, Sun Wen was also in a state of confusion. He was not a political idiot, and naturally he would not let Toushan Manman fool him with just a few words. However, Japan's strength was there, and the British were there to protect it. With such  It is obviously extremely dangerous for an opponent to start a war, and Wang Zhenyu is obviously going to do such a dangerous thing now. Sun Wen is very conflicted. On the one hand, he hopes that Wang Zhenyu will fail. After all, the Youth Army is strictly speaking during the Revolution of 1911.  A branch of the civilian army system, once the young Wang ZhenyuOn the platform, his group of subordinates are not enough to control the entire situation. At this time, he can naturally come out as a revolutionary leader to clean up the situation; but on the other hand, Sun Wen does not want Wang Zhenyu to fail, because the Youth Army is currently in a good development situation.  Once this army is defeated by the Japanese, it is very likely that the Northern Army will go south. Then all these years of hard work will be in vain, and they may even be used to make wedding dresses for others.  Thinking of this, Sun Wen picked up the bell on the table and shook it. The secretary opened the door and came in: "Chairman, what are your orders?" Sun Wen nodded and said kindly: "Go and invite Mr. Hu Hanmin and Mr. Liao Zhongkai.  "We have something important to discuss."
