The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

"Damn it! The current war situation is clearly moving in a direction that is favorable to the development of our military, but something like this could happen!"

Yoshiichi Tanaka looked at the military map angrily and started cursing.

"Yeah, Tanaka-kun... this is really weird! But I also sent my trusted aides to investigate on the spot--"

Seeing the other party turn his suspicious eyes to him, Fukushima Yasushige continued to speak, "I don't think this surprise attack force looks like the Russian army."

In response to the question of "how do you know that?", he continued: "First of all, the weapons used by these soldiers who attacked the US military were not all Russian-made... The equipment was complex, and most importantly, the firepower was not weak either."

"Also, a specialist from the Special Higher Police visited the scene. Whether it was the footprints or the traces... they were all very different from the Russian army that the Empire's soldiers encountered!"

"The footprints are smaller and weaker, and look more Asian."

After hearing these words, Tanaka couldn't help but gasp: "You mean-Jijun?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but add, "Could it be Jiang Dengxuan who is stationed on the border?"

His suspicion is also what Fukushima Yasumasa has always had.

With all the facts and evidence laid out before him, Fukushima Yasumasa had long felt that something was amiss... These damn Americans are so stupid that they can't even see such an obvious provocation to war.

"So, that's why you want to negotiate with the US in this way, and want them to figure it out themselves?"

Tanaka Yoshiichi was a little mad: You said Americans were stupid, but how smart are you?!

You didn't bring all the evidence to the Americans, but instead had a conflict with them for some stupid reasons!
"Please use your big head to think about it. What good will it do us to have a conflict with the Americans at this time?"

Tanaka Yoshiichi almost wanted to slap him a few times. "Let's not talk about the Americans withdrawing their troops once they are angered by us. Now that the conflict at the Northern Expeditionary Army Command has been reported back to the country, how should we... deal with it!"

Fukushima Yasumasa said loudly, "Tanaka-kun, someone is plotting against us. What are you planning? You can just explain it to the top leaders, the cabinet, and His Majesty the Emperor, right?"

Explain clearly?

Do you think His Majesty the Emperor or someone else can give you this opportunity?
Although the Northern Expeditionary Army has received support from Jilin, do you know how much damage it will cause to North Korea and its homeland?

But so far, have we gained any real benefits from Vladivostok or the Caucasus?

Apart from consumption, we have not brought any benefits to the empire, and we can't even meet our own supply needs.

Even if he could really meet His Majesty the Emperor, how would he and the Empress Dowager respond?

Just when their heads were getting bigger and bigger, under the guidance of the "Jinan Incident", various parts of Shandong launched a campaign to "expel foreign invaders".

Workers, students, and even some aspiring citizens and farmers from nearby suburbs began to take to the streets and rushed into the shops opened by the Japanese...

More and more Japanese expatriates were beaten, and the casualties were increasing day by day.

The worst thing was that in Qingdao, a movement called "Hurricane" broke out.

Many unknown militants sneaked into the enemy's camp from the old city, fired cold guns and threw bombs, and even some enemy soldiers who were eating and drinking in the commercial street were unlucky. The "initiator" of all this was Jiang Cheng, the governor of Jilin Prefecture.

In addition to having Jiang Dengxuan contact the guerrillas to attack the US military and bring the conflict between Japan and the US;

He also ordered Bai Haochen, the garrison commander in Luanzhou, to contact local bandits in Shandong, give them money, weapons, food, etc., and ask them to break up their troops and rebel in various places in the name of "expelling foreign invaders."

The Japanese were naturally furious, and telegrams kept being sent back to their country like snowflakes, with calls for declaring all-out war on China growing louder and louder.

Especially those war-loving fanatics in the military, such as Nagata Tetsuzan of the "Three Crows" and Okamura Yasuji, who actually seemed to be trying to remonstrate with the Emperor.

However, just as Japan was rushing towards bloody foreign aggression at an almost terrifying speed, their Emperor of Japan... actually backed down.

You know, the Paris Peace Conference is coming to an end, and the Treaty of Versailles is about to be finalized.

As a victorious country, China will certainly oppose it, and the Western powers will turn Shandong into their sphere of influence, allowing them to further station troops, colonize, and even fully control the port, etc.

But it is unlikely that they will continue to put their hands deeper.

Moreover, the force of all-out resistance is so strong now. Once the Beiyang people are pushed into a corner and launch an all-out resistance against them, it will be quite troublesome.

Therefore, "cooling down"... seems to be their best and of course the only option.

"Actually, all they need is this compensation and an apology from UMC?"

After receiving the "conditions" for the Japanese garrison, Marshal Zhang laughed at Yang Yuting and said, "So many devils died, and all we have to do is pay compensation and apologize?"

Yang Yuting also chuckled, slightly bent his upper body towards his master on the recliner, and continued slowly: "In fact, you know it in your heart. It's just some overseas Chinese who died doing business, not some high-level figures... This matter can be big or small."

Marshal Zhang half-raised himself and said, "Damn it, you made me worry about Xiao Liuzi for nothing!"

"I've only heard that they're in Shandong. There's a lot of revolution going on everywhere, and old guy Duan Zhigui doesn't care about it. I'm really worried that the kid will get into trouble and get into trouble with someone."

"It's fine now. I just need to pay some money and apologize, and that's it - hehe, apologize, hehe, I'm the best at apologizing, I apologize humbly, and I'm determined not to change, haha!"

Yang Yuting first agreed, and then said: "Sir, in my humble opinion, you'd better transfer Han Qing back from Shandong!"

"Jinan is a dangerous place with many obstacles. If something goes wrong, it will be a disaster if they can't escape back to Luanzhou or Shanhaiguan. You..."

Marshal Zhang waved his hands helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "My heart is as clear as a mirror!"

"After all this commotion, I know from the bottom of my heart that he is not even a little bit inferior to that brat from the Jiang family! Our Han Qing can only look good now because of Guo Guizi, but when he really goes into battle, Guo Guizi will be the winner."

"But today's incident is clearly not something that can be solved by fighting and killing."

Yang Yuting straightened up slightly and repeated the words: "You are talking about the Jianghu, not about fighting and killing." (End of this chapter)
