    "It takes a thousand days to raise troops, but only a moment to deploy them. The high efficiency of the Guard Brigade is reflected at this moment."

    After receiving Gao Jiyi¡¯s warning, the combat readiness duty room began to operate at high speed.  The first person to be notified was the young marshal's right-hand assistant Guo Songling. He immediately ordered to strengthen the security of the Governor's Mansion. An infantry company strengthened the security of the marshal's mansion and added four machine guns.

    Next, the cavalry company directly under the Guards Brigade divided into three groups in platoon units to attack Zhang Zuolin on his way back.  Considering that the enemy is hidden and we have a limited bodyguard around Marshal Zhang - according to Date Konosuke's confession, there are no less than five groups of people waiting for an opportunity to attack Zhang Zuolin. On the road between the 27th Division and the General's Mansion, the Kanto Governor's Mansion also  Guandong Special High-Tech's manpower was dispatched - he didn't know how many there were. Guo Songling made a prompt decision and arranged for Wang Yizhe to guard the general's palace. He and Han Linchun each led an infantry and cavalry team to guard along the way.  At the same time, they also called the 27th Division's combat readiness duty room and requested it to send cavalry units to assist in the operation.  Compared with the Guards Brigade, the 27th Division has an integrated cavalry regiment with more than a thousand people.

    However, there was only one regiment commander on duty at the top of the 27th Division that day. Although Yu Zhen was an old man in the army, he had been confined to the Guards for a long time. His ability to command the 27th Division was limited and he could not respond better. He just put the troops'  The combat readiness level has been improved to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of chaos and attacking the camp.

    This was less than ten minutes before the assassination.

    Guo Songling and his party can be said to have provided help in times of need. After obtaining this new force, Zhang Zuolin's cordon range quickly expanded a lot.  On the way back to the General's Mansion, no more accidents happened.

    After seeing the machine guns and heavily armed soldiers set up at the door of the General's Mansion, Marshal Zhang, who was still in shock, breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Zhang Hanqing: "Xiao Liuzi leads good soldiers!" - It seems that it was still Xiao Liuzi.  He has a good eye for people. Guo Songling and Gao Jiyi are both loyal and capable. Jiang Huanan's loyalty has been tested. Even Han Linchun won the jackpot. After he heard that Zhang Zuolin had returned home safely, he took the opportunity to clear the streets.  Captured two blind armed Japanese ronin.

    From then on, he had a very good impression of Guo Songling, and Gao Jiyi also took great credit for it.  At Zhang Hanqing's suggestion, Gao Jiyi finally had the opportunity to lead the army alone. He was promoted to the director of the "Fengqi Bureau" and was directly responsible to Zhang Hanqing. It had been less than a month since he last served as the assistant director. It can be said that this incident was the biggest.  winner.  Yu Zhen, on the other hand, was downgraded in Zhang Zuolin's mind due to improper handling.

    Furious, Zhang Zuolin decided to retaliate against the Japanese. He opened his team and directly requested negotiations with the Japanese Consulate in Fengtian.  Everyone gained the stolen goods, and Japanese Consul Yoshida Shigeru had nothing to say. After all, fifteen assassins were captured alive, half of them Japanese, and there were seventeen corpses at the scene. The bomb that Zhang Zuolin was in danger was also intercepted by Gao Jiyi on the spot.  heap.  Now the witnesses are being deliberately forced to kneel on the street in front of the consulate, with bombs lined up in front of them. This is embarrassing for the Japanese!

    Zhang Zuolin took advantage of the mentality of mourning soldiers and directly raged at Shigeru Yoshida: "Mr. Yoshida, I, Zhang Zuolin, have always behaved worthy of my Japanese friends, but what did they do to me? Who wants my life, Lao Zhang? If there is no explanation for this matter today,  , will never be good!"

    At this time, the influence of the Japanese government in Northeast China was far less profound than it would be ten years later. Zhang Zuolin was its agent in Fengtian, which was recognized by the Japanese cabinet and many "people of insight".  The Japanese government believes that so far, no one can replace Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian, so the country generally supports Zhang Zuolin as their agent.  This assassination incident was purely the work of a small group of Japanese soldiers in the Kwantung Governor's Mansion.

    At this time, the Japanese military is far from emptying the cabinet as it did later. The Japanese political party still has a strong control over the country. If this matter becomes fermented, Yoshida Shigeru believes that the government will definitely use this to attack the military.  strength.  Although he is a member of the civilian government, he does not want to see this situation - he is also a believer in militarism.

    And more importantly, China's rising momentum makes many Japanese politicians not optimistic about confronting China head-on now. After all, China's national strength has not yet declined to the bottom, while Japan has not yet risen.  to its pre-World War II peak.  Historically, it was only after another twenty years of development and China's twenty years of chaos that the gap between the two countries reached a level that the Japanese believed they could compete with.  Despite this, the Japanese still conducted partial tests first, and after digesting the three northeastern provinces, which were not inferior to their own industrial strength, they then developed the ambition to fully invade China. This is true.

    Yoshida Shigeru decisively chose to sacrifice his chariot to protect the commander, which would cost the opponent's life. He fully understood Zhang Zuolin's rage, and was also worried that the opponent would take risks under the rage, which would put Japan in danger.Many years of hard work by North Korea have come to nothing, even if Japan has full confidence and ability to suppress military conflicts with the other side.  He said to the furious Zhang Zuolin: "What happened in Fengtian, I dare to swear to God, it was never supported by our government or even the Kwantung Army. I myself absolutely agree with getting along well with Zhang Zuolin."

    Zhang Zuolin just took the opportunity to cause trouble, but he had no determination to break off relations with the Japanese - so what if he broke up with each other?  At that time, the entire Beiyang army combined was no match for Japan, let alone a small military governor?  However, if he makes a fuss like this, there is no problem in calming down, and the Japanese are basically hopeless if they want to survive.

    In order to alleviate Zhang Zuolin's anger, Yoshida Shigeru contacted the Kwantung Governor's Office urgently and decided to sacrifice his soldiers to protect the commander and promised him a huge profit to comfort Lao Zhang. They arranged for the Manchurian Army's military affairs section chief Tanaka Yiichi, who had a sworn relationship with Zhang Zuolin, to come and make peace.  .  There is a legend that during the Russo-Japanese War, Zhang Zuolin was arrested by the Japanese as a Russian spy. When he was about to be shot for espionage, he was fortunately saved by Tanaka, who was then the staff officer of the First Division.  Lao Zhang neither admitted nor denied this matter, but it was a fact that his relationship with Tanaka had always been very good.

    Under Tanaka's mediation, Zhang Zuolin's anger subsided a lot, but he insisted that the Japanese side severely punish those who undermined "Sino-Japanese friendship."  At his request, the unlucky Major General Doi was arranged to return to the country in advance and ended up being demoted and transferred to reserve service; Kanto Special High-Tech was sacrificed at the expense of the Ming Zhuang in the provincial capital of Fengtian; and Shigeru Yoshida asked the country for instructions from Zhang Zuolin.  The five-million arms loan was to be repaid in one year; as for the unlucky Mimura reserve colonel, he also had a caesarean section to apologize.

    This incident made the Kanto Governor's Office disgraced, and also caused the Japanese in Fengtian to dare not take any new actions against Zhang Zuolin for a long time.  However, the relationship between Zhang Zuolin and them was also forged.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
