    Regarding Zhang Zuolin¡¯s attitude of playing tricks on the Japanese, people within the Fengtian clique and the top leaders of the People¡¯s Party cannot help but be worried.  However, their worries are unnecessary. The current Japanese government has not yet made war against China a top priority. The sluggish domestic economy alone is enough for them.

    In order to gain a direct understanding of Zhang Zuolin¡¯s thoughts and behaviors, the Japanese government decided to send a high-level visiting delegation to China, led by the royal family member Prince Asaka, and mainly composed of government officials, military instructors, scholars, etc.

    The autumn wind is rustling and the water is sluggish.  In Yingtai in Zhongnanhai, the Zhang family and his son and the senior officials of the People's Army received them here.  This was originally a royal forbidden area. Because it is surrounded by water and is beautiful and pleasant, successive governments of the Republic of China used it to work, live, hold banquets and entertain foreign guests.

    From the beginning of the introduction, Zhang Hanqing was so surprised by the identities of this group of people: the most famous theorist of Japanese fascism, Kita Ikki, and later the leader of the "control faction", Nagata Tetsuzan, known as the best brain in the Japanese army,  Ishihara Kanji, the leader of the "Imperial Road Sect" and known as Japan's number one military strategist, are all prominently on the list.

    No one knows the ultimate power of these people, although their current highest military rank is only Colonel.  At this time, both the Imperial Way Faction and the Control Faction were still in their infancy, and their views had not yet been so widely divided.  For example, the "Futaba Society" represents the ruling faction. Its core figures, Okamura Neiji, Tojo Hideki, Itagaki Seishiro, and Doihara Kenji, were all the same as Ishihara Kanji of the Emperor Dao faction during the September 18th Incident in official history.  Breathing out of one nostril.

    But Zhang Hanqing knew.  If we catch them all now, it is difficult to say whether Japan's subsequent situation will change significantly. After all, it is idealistic to bet on a certain person for the changes in history.  However, the energy exerted by these junior officers, who are quite influential in Japan's military circles, on Japan's move toward militarism cannot be taken lightly.

    ¡°These people came here with important purposes.  The government behind Zhang Zuolin fired heavy guns at the Japanese, showing a relentless situation in economic, political, and cultural aspects, making the Japanese government feel that it was at risk of losing control of China.  The central idea of ??this delegation's visit to China is to find out the details of Zhang Zuolin and his son, so as to explore the way forward for the Japanese government's next response.

    King Hatohiko of Asaka Palace is the uncle of Emperor Hirohito of Showa. He is one of the few professional soldiers in the Japanese royal family. He later became known as a radical and supportive soldier of the Imperial Road faction.  The Japanese government sent him as the head of the visiting delegation, which has a strong warning meaning.

    But Zhang Hanqing was very calm.

    To this day, his confidence is not ordinary.  In any case, China is much better now than at the same time in history. Under his rule, the strength of the People's Army is enough for the Japanese to consider the issue of stopping after a fire breaks out.  Zhang Hanqing is confident that he can defeat Japan politically, economically, and culturally, and will not fall behind militarily.

    Therefore, no matter whether you ask soft or hard questions or warn the Japanese, you can always correct your mentality.

    The Japanese first wanted to conquer the economic field. They used the "Nishihara loan" borrowed by Duan Qirui when the Anhui clique was in power to ask the Zhang Zuolin government to fulfill its promise.  At the beginning, the Japanese approached Jin Yunpeng's government and Zhang Zuolin, but they were all rejected ruthlessly.

    When Feng and Anhui were at odds, Lao Zhang could use the excuse that the loan was handled by Duan Qirui, and he ignored it completely even after Duan stepped down.  But now Lao Duan is promoted as the "ruling" of the Republic of China. Although he has little power, he is still the head of the country in name. Now people come to ask for debts. It is difficult for Lao Zhang to practice Tai Chi, but it is not impossible.

    "Everyone, when Nishihara borrowed the money, I did not recognize the Anhui government at all. My own attitude has been known to Japanese friends for a long time, and I have also told it to the foreign minister, consul, and minister at the time. You funded it at that time  The Anhui clique formed a "joining army" to attack our Fengjun army. It was not the work of friends. All the borrowers have resigned, and the account is also a mess. I absolutely do not accept this. Who is responsible for who you think?  Who to look for!"

    "But the then Prime Minister Duan Qirui is now in power of the Republic of China. He is still in power, so of course it counts. We have registered all the amounts and can check them at any time." This is an official from Japan's Ministry of Finance interjecting  .

    Hey, Duan Qirui should have been pulled down a long time ago, otherwise this incident would not have happened today.

    When Zhang Zuolin first entered Beijing, Zhang Hanqing's strategy was to let the People's Party fully seize power politically, focus on development militarily, and dominate the country economically, hiding its power and biding its time. However, in terms of political influence, it pushed Duan Qirui to suppress  The popularity of the Kuomintang and Sun Yat-sen.  Whatever the People's Party cannot say or do that is not convenient for them to do, Duan Qirui will do it.

    So Duan Qirui canThere is a very sinister intention behind the policy, which is to borrow large amounts of Japanese yen and inject it into China's national banks such as the Bank of Communications to help China rectify its financial system and reform its currency system, and gradually achieve "Japan-China currency mixing."

    In the end, "in the name of protecting funds," the Japanese military stationed military police at the State Bank of China.  That is, not only in terms of funds, but also through military control, they fundamentally control China's finance, and then control the lifeblood of the entire Chinese country.

    From a purely economic perspective, Japan¡¯s borrowings are at a loss.  But regardless of the outcome, even if the Japanese organizers of the Nishihara loan betray the country, absolutely no one wants to sell Japan. There is still a plan behind their generous borrowing.  In fact, they were calculating political accounts with greater profits. However, due to subsequent changes in the entire international situation, Terauchi, Katsuda and Nishihara's wishful thinking failed to come true.

    Zhang Hanqing, who had caused major changes in China's political situation, was sitting at the table and sternly denied the loan.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
