    Chen Shiying also regretted his reckless actions. He did not regret what he had done, but regretted that he had caused such a big mistake by being so careless - if he had known better, he would have shot them on the spot!  It's nice to freeze someone to death, but someone has to wipe your butt!

    Whether the country will apologize or not is the decision of the central officials. He has no control over it, but if he wants to hand himself over to the Japanese for interrogation, he cannot afford to lose this person.  Death was a small matter, but losing the country was a big deal. He didn't want to be heavily recorded in history, even though he was only recorded as a humiliated party.

    Therefore, he summoned several captains of the fleet and said: "If the country wants to hand me over, I would rather commit suicide than agree! One person does things and one person is responsible. I decided this matter before. From now on, everyone will die in their stomachs."  Here, if you are punished when you go back, in order to protect the seeds of the navy, you can all deny that I gave the order!"

    Several captains have been comrades in the trenches for many years, so they naturally share the same spirit.  Captain Mao Zhongcai of the "Lisui" patted his chest and said: "I am also involved in this matter, and I participated voluntarily. Our navy has been in a state of decline in the eyes of the Chinese people since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. If the commander is allowed to be handed over to the Japanese for interrogation again,  , that is a great shame and humiliation. If a soldier dies, his ears will die, and this navy uniform must be white and clean. I have decided that this ship and the commander will live or die together!"

    "Lijie" captain Lin Peixi and "Lichuan" captain Lin Tianshou rushed to express their opinions. For a while, the captain's room was filled with an atmosphere of sadness and indignation.

    Zhang Hanqing, who didn't want to stand out, couldn't help but speak out again. On the one hand, the "May 4th Movement" that had been launched had successfully aroused the Chinese people's hatred of Japan. If the Feng clique wants to reap the benefits of public opinion, it must make a strong statement to the outside world.  The experiences of weak generals who brought glory to their country are excellent material.

    On the other hand, with the future expansion of Fengjun, the urgency of building a navy has been put on the table. Being able to take advantage of the situation to obtain a naval general with rich experience in water warfare will be a great help to Fengjun, who is a "landlubber", and can obtain the previous  The favor and support of the naval department headed by Sa Zhenbing.  In addition, a more important reason is that Zhang Hanqing respects Bing Xin.

    This author, whom Zhang Hanqing has read in American literature since he was a child, is Sa Zhenbing¡¯s favorite little daughter.  This future incarnation of love and beauty once immersed Zhang Hanqing in the beautiful artistic conception of Chinese characters.  Bing Xin should be living with Sa Zhenbing now, right?  I wonder if the pain of the Navy Chief will affect Grandma Bing Xin¡¯s mood?

    Furthermore, General Chen Jiliang led the Battle of Jiangyin in history, sinking merchant ships and warships at the Yangtze River Estuary, successfully blocking the Japanese fleet from going up the river, and preserving the national title of the "Republic of China".  Such patriotic generals, no matter what their purpose, are the vitality of the Chinese nation and are worth working hard to operate.

    Therefore, despite the opposition of some people, Zhang Hanqing still spoke out.  He shouted to the central government from a distance: "Soldiers who violate discipline must still be dealt with according to military discipline. How to deal with him is China's internal affairs."  He also made suggestions that Chen Shiying should be dismissed from the Navy and transferred to the Fengjun Army's "Three Eastern Provinces Water Security Brigade" preparatory team as a senior adviser to make meritorious deeds.

    In order to make the Japanese side less vocal, Zhang Hanqing also expressed through his Consul General in Fengtian Yoshida Shigeru: "Currently due to the backlash from the 'Paris Peace Conference' and the 'May 4th Movement', national anti-Japanese sentiment is rising. Please do not add fuel to the fire at this time.  ".  As the mediator, Zhang Hanqing can ask Chen Shiying to change his name and withdraw from the current navy service, so that both governments can step down.

    At this time, on the battlefield in the Far East, the Soviet Red Army reversed its initial decline. After defeating the White Russian Army in Europe, they defeated Kolchak, the leader of the White Army entrenched in Siberia, in Irkutsk before the end of the year.  Subsequently, he sent his troops eastward and defeated the foreign intervention force (i.e. the expeditionary force) at Lake Baikal.

    Because the United States, Britain, and France had been in a state of hostility with Soviet Russia for a long time, and had no success for a long time, they all wanted to retreat.

    But the Soviet Red Army was reluctant to leave and followed Kolchak's footsteps into Siberia. The forward was composed of guerrillas led by Tripitsyn.  The Temple Street incident occurred because the main force of the Japanese army was completely destroyed.

    They were defeated by themselves.

    The military discipline of the Japanese army has indeed inherited the fine traditions of the pioneers and is as poor as ever. Their burning, killing and looting when they invaded China was actually their habit.  As early as when they interfered in the Soviet revolution, Japanese officers and soldiers stationed in Russia regularly harassed civilians and snatched Russian "flower girls" everywhere.

    Of course, this also brought serious consequences. A senior Japanese military officer who returned from an inspection on the Russian front said that the spread of the disease caused by Gongshennuqian at least caused the Japanese soldiers of an entire division to lose their combat effectiveness. The actual situation may not be the same.  Less than 10,000 people.

    ¡° Moreover, the evil deeds of the Japanese army also aroused the disgust of local residents.The reason why the strike force grew stronger as it fought was inseparable from the hatred of the local Russians against Japan.  Not only did the local Russians hate the Japanese, but about 800 long-term Chinese residents in Russia voluntarily signed up to join the Soviet Red Guards.

    The Japanese Expeditionary Force, which is caught in the People's War, is asking for additional troops. At this time, the Japanese government is not willing to make another disturbance in China.  In view of the situation in China, I have to agree with Zhang Hanqing's suggestion.

    Zhang Zuolin then called the Beiyang government to explain this idea in detail.  The Beiyang government was afraid of this hot potato, and what Zhang Zuolin said was exactly what he meant.

    Therefore, among the four conditions proposed by the Japanese government, "the Chinese minister in Japan apologized to the Japanese government and compensated a certain amount of pension to the families of the Japanese officers and soldiers who died." The central government did this.

    However, the matter of "an apology from the Chinese Navy stationed in Temple Street to the Japanese Commander-in-Chief" was revealed, and the Chinese responsible for the matter were "severely punished." Fleet Commander Chen Shiying voluntarily resigned and was removed from the list of active naval officers.  The delisting was compromised.

    Chen Shiying was grateful for the life-saving grace of Fengxi, so he resolutely joined Fengxi, changed his name to Chen Jiliang, and made suggestions for the establishment of Fengxi's navy.

    After the crisis was resolved, the Beiyang Government's Navy ordered Mao Zhongcai to act as commander of the Northbound Fleet. The Japanese army stationed in Khabarovsk allowed the Northbound Fleet to enter Heilongjiang. The Northbound Fleet, which had been drifting at sea for 445 days, finally anchored at Harbin Port and rested.

    So it is not that you will be beaten if you fall behind, but you will be beaten if you are lagging behind and have no spine.  A weak country has no diplomacy. When Empress Dowager Cixi comes to power, Chen Shiying's life will be over.

    Adversity reveals the heart, and Sa Zhenbing, who racked his brains to save his men, was moved by Zhang Hanqing's fearless spirit in adhering to the national and military standards. Although he has emphasized the establishment of a centralized central government throughout his life, he has never shown disdain towards local warlords.  .  But through this incident, I still had a good impression of Zhang Hanqing, the son of a warlord.

    He also reciprocated the favor and gave Feng Xi a lot of benefits in several subsequent interactions. This is discussed later.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
