Volume 1 Turbulent Times Chapter 169 Pig Raising
Zhang Zuolin is a hero. Although he is far from being the King of Northeast China, he is also a famous figure. From a beard who couldn't even eat enough to eat, he climbed all the way to the Lieutenant General of the National Defense Army. No, he is now the commander of the army and a high position as a general. How could such a person be simple?
When Xu Shichang and he agreed to express his plan to expand the army and prepare for war, Zhang Zuolin, who had been briefly shocked, immediately patted his chest and promised Xu Shichang that everything was obeying the central government's arrangements. Such a cheerful and resolute statement made Xu Shichang extremely happy, and he felt that his point of pushing Zhang Zuolin to take on this important task was correct. As long as Fengtian had the cooperation of Zhang Zuolin, the implementation of the entire plan would be much smoother, and the difficulties and pressures faced by the central government would also be reduced a lot...
But Xu Shichang did not expect that Zhang Zuolin was still having a different kind of abacus in his heart while swearing. When the Central Committee proposed the adaptation of the National Defense Forces, Zhang Zuolin was the first local powerful force in Northeast China to support it, and he gained a lot of benefits. Not only was it not compressed, but it expanded its strength and firmly occupied the Fengtian territory. Now that it has expanded its military and prepared for war, Zhang Zuolin immediately realized that this was both a risk and a rare opportunity. No matter what the future holds,
Zhang Zuolin had to agree to this matter first. With the cooperation of Xu Shichang and the Central Committee, his 27th Division would not take long to stay outside the pass and become the largest force in the Northeast. As for war with the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin thought this would be a matter for the future. He felt that no matter how good the General Staff Headquarters analyzed it, God knew if he could fight in the end. The plan was always a plan, and we should take it into consideration first. If Xu Shichang and Beijing were unhappy in this matter, everything would be ruined.
Besides, in Zhang Zuolin's mind, he had another idea. With his sleek means, the Japanese would be able to delay for a while even if they started a war. At that time, they would be able to fight. On the one hand, they would preserve their strength, and on the other hand, they would let the central government cooperate and fight with each other.
Zhang Zuolin's abacus was not very good. Of course, he also considered the worst case, that is, the two countries fought in the Northeast, fighting corpses and blood flowing into rivers. In the Northeast for so many years, Zhang Zuolin has never dealt with many Russian Russians or Japanese little noses. Since Fengtian is close to Kanto Prefecture, there are not many Japanese people in and outside the city. In addition, the Manchuria and Japanese troops are stationed, expanding and preparing for war under the eyes of the Japanese, it is easy to say. The Japanese have many eyes in the Northeast, and once his 27th Division makes a move, it will soon be transmitted to the Japanese. Similarly, this is also the main reason why he only discussed with Zhang Zuo and did not tell others the facts. It will be concealed as long as he can. Everything is based on preserving strength. This is Zhang Zuolin's idea, and he did the same.
The next day, Zhang Zuolin accompanied Xu Shichang to inspect the 27th Division and announced in public the order to officially expand the 27th Division. With Xu Shichang's cooperation, the expansion of the 27th Division was just the second step in the reorganization of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China government. As for anything else, no one mentioned it. Compared with the excited officers from the 27th Division who were above and below the 27th Division were thinking about how many levels of promotion they could be promoted, the Japanese in Kanto were very wary of this. The Japanese who had already had a ghost were watching the Chinese government make such a struggle under their noses, so how could they not react? The garrisons of Kanto immediately gathered their troops to the north one after another. At the same time, they inquire about the situation of the 27th Division and began to protest to the Chinese government.
Before the Japanese formally protested, Zhang Zuolin took the lead and sent someone to Kantong Prefecture to send a handwritten letter to Kantong Prefecture Governor Nakamura Yasuo. In the letter, Zhang Zuolin was very low-key. He not only talked about the friendship between China and Japan and him and Nakamura Yasuo, but also explained the expansion of the 27th Division's military force, and expressed his attitude to ask Nakamura Yasuo to rest assured. No matter whether the 27th Division expands its military force, it will not target the Japanese side. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin also said that he would take the troops back ten miles from Fengtian and Kantong Prefecture's defense line to show goodwill.
After receiving the letter, Nakamura looked carefully for a long time, and was a little skeptical about it. Before he could take another action, Zhang Zuolin quickly asked his soldiers to retreat voluntarily to avoid direct contact between the two teams of China and Japan. At the same time, Zhang Zuolin sent people to visit Nakamura one after another, not only gave money and goods, but also actively proposed to strengthen Sino-Japanese cooperation. Nakamura Hiroshi asked Nakamura to help him in the friendship between the two sides, and sent some military advisers to the 27th Division to ensure the expansion process, etc.
Zhang Zuolin's actions made the suspicious Nakamura feel much more relieved. Due to the voluntary concession of the 27th Division, the tension between China and Japan in the Northeast was greatly eased. Nakamura was one of the few people in the top Japanese military leaders who rarely knew the plan to start the war. Although he was less wary of Zhang Zuolin, his heart was still hung up. However, after Zhang Zuolin's subsequent request to increase Japanese military advisers came, Nakamura was overjoyed and felt much more relieved about Zhang Zuolin.
In Nakamura's view, sending a large number of military advisers to the 27th Division can first grasp the trends of the 27th Division, and secondly, it can use the advantages of Japanese advisers to disintegrate and divide the 27th Division from within after the official war. Even when the time is right, he will pull the entire 27th Division into the Japanese camp for his own use. Immediately, Nakamura immediately dispatched several people from the 17th Division stationed in Kanto Prefecture as military advisers to send them, and also sent a message to Tokyo, proposing to send more military advisers to Kanto Prefecture to the Northeast.
"This Nakamura Jue is really a fool." Just when Nakamura Jue thought he was proud, Zhang Zuolin from Fengtian was so happy that he laughed, and Zhang Zuoxiang was sitting next to him.
Of course, Zhang Zuoxiang knew why Zhang Zuoxiang was so happy. The specific thing he dealt with the Japanese was Zhang Zuoxiang. In fact, these postures were all just the ** formation released by Zhang Zuolin, which was just used to confuse the Japanese in the south and buy time for the 27th Division.
In Zhang Zuolin's opinion, no matter what means you use, it's okay to pretend to be stupid or be a gray grandson. As long as you can achieve your goal, it is a good method. This theory is a coincidence in the future. Of course, Zhang Zuolin now will not think of what might happen in decades. He just acts based on his own judgment. It is impossible to hide it from the Japanese in the Northeast. Zhang Zuolin will do the opposite, spread the matter out of the surface, secretly breaking the joints, using methods, and letting the other party dispel the concerns. Hooligans can't stop them. To put it bluntly, Zhang Zuolin is a hooligan who knows how to do culture. In his eyes, there are only two concepts of success and failure, and he didn't think much about the others.
Zhang Zuolin also prepared several steps to make these arrangements, and even considered whether he would go to Kantong Prefecture to fool him if he didn't work. But who would have thought that after using three tricks, Nakamura Hirou relaxed his vigilance, which made Zhang Zuolin laugh.
"I didn't expect Nakamura to find it so easy to deal with. It's no exaggeration for Brother Qi to say he's a fool." Zhang Zuoxiang smiled and said by the way.
He nodded deeply and Zhang Zuolin was extremely proud: "Although Nakamura is known as a tiger, his head is really not very good. If it were the old guy Anmasato Fukushima, this matter would probably not be easy to fool."
When talking about Fukushima Anmatsu, Zhang Zuo nodded repeatedly. Although this ex-boy of Nakamura Hiroshima was not a formal soldier, his strategy and judgment were much stronger than Nakamura Hiroshima. Fukushima was the only person in the Japanese army who had no practical experience and was promoted to a general based on intelligence work alone. As the governor of Kanto Prefecture, Fukushima Anmatsu's ability is much stronger than Nakamura Hiroshima. If Fukushima is still the governor, Zhang Zuolin and others would probably be a bit bigger. But when they meet Nakamura Hiroshi, who is a simple-minded guy who only knows how to lead the "pig tu" with his shirtless hands, this is really their luck.
"Brother Seven, how do you arrange the Japanese who just arrived?" She sighed with Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuoling turned the topic back to her eyes. Nakamura Akira sent the first batch of six-member military advisers. She had just arrived in Fengtian today. Zhang Zuoling, as a liaison officer, temporarily placed these Japanese advisers in the hotel, and then came to ask about Zhang Zuolin's arrangements.
"Mom, do you want to ask me?" Zhang Zuolin waved his hand: "Just find a troops that don't poop and stuff them in."
"Yes..." Zhang Zuoxiang frowned slightly and suggested: "But it may be inappropriate to put it all in remote troops? If the news reaches Nakamura Satoshi, although this guy is easy to cheat, he is not really a fool. If he finds something, it will be troublesome."
Zhang Zuolin was slightly stunned and twisted Hu Jiao and asked, "It's reasonable to say that, how do you arrange it?"
"It's better to just pick these Japanese people up and raise them, right in the division headquarters, look..." Zhang Zuoxiang asked tentatively.
Rounding his eyes and thinking, Zhang Zuolin slammed the table and cursed, "Mom, this is a good idea! Just do this. Aren't we just going to expand the army? We set up a consulting office in the division headquarters and put all these little Japanese children into the consulting office. We usually find more people to watch, drink and find girls, and we will raise them well. If there is any change in the future, hehe..."
"Hehe..." Zhang Zuoxiang was immediately happy when he heard Zhang Zuolin's meaning. In their eyes, these Japanese consultants were equivalent to growing fat pigs, pinching them in the palm of their hands, and they could do whatever they wanted.
As for what Nakamura Hiroshi would send consultants in the future, neither Zhang Zuolin nor Zhang Zuoxiangxin cared about it. In their opinion, it was already unknown when Nakamura Hiroshi sent people from Japan. By then, the 27th Division would have completed the expansion of its army, and God knew whether the war between China and Japan would start. Even if it was sent, what would happen? The ship was naturally straight when it reached the bridge. With Nakamura Hiroshi's stupid pig head, he still wanted to fight with their brothers? Haha! It was simply delusion.
