The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 270 Harsh Conditions
The young Fengtian Army Chief of Staff's expression relaxed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief with the smallest movement.

Then he winked at him, and the latter quickly trotted to the Marshal's side and lowered his voice to a level that only the two of them could hear clearly:
"Master, Commander Wu... Maochen, along with the cadets of the officer corps, and all the officers and soldiers of Siping, report to you two,"

"Two hours ago, we repelled the enemy's general attack—"

"The enemy has all begun to retreat...towards Zhengjiatun and Liaoyuan."

Upon hearing the news, Marshal Zhang, who had been sitting upright facing the Japanese, turned his face around immediately.

Not only him, Wu Junsheng was also secretly under the negotiating table, clenching his fists in excitement!

Well done boys!
I know you will succeed...

In fact, on the second day after the Jilin Army set out, the Marshal ordered Wu Junsheng's troops to go to Siping and Liaoyuan for reinforcement.

But before the troops set out, the Marshal received warnings from both the military and the consulate:
The telegram was full of nonsense, but the content was so cruel that it burst through the paper - if you dare to mobilize troops, it will be an act of war!

Our Kwantung Army will fight back at all costs and kill your Fengtian Army.

Before there was any big news about this matter, Zhang Jinghui's Jinzhou was already in turmoil.

Goubangzi, Panjin, Yingkou... and even the entire Liaodong Peninsula, the Kwantung Army stood up together;

Marshal Zhang, who was in Fengtian, was furious at the time. He asked his Japanese adviser Takeo Kikuchi to inquire about the reasons and specific matters under the banner of the General Staff Headquarters.

The arrogant military ignored him, and the only one who was willing to speak was Consul Masao Okawa.

The two rounds of negotiations boil down to one sentence: You Fengtian Army are not allowed to interfere in the conflict on the Zhengjiatun front line. If you dare to interfere, it will be an act of war, and our Great Japanese Empire will respond!
If he had not always been patient and had not done such a big thing, the angry Marshal Zhang would probably have really mobilized the entire Fengtian Army to fight him with real swords and guns.

But after calming down and thinking about it again, coupled with Yang Yuting and Xu Shuzheng's advice, the Marshal himself knew very well:

The situation in the interior of the country was still a mess, with the Russians in the north and the Mongols in the west, plus a bunch of Koreans, Americans, British and other foreigners eyeing the Northeast. If he declared war on the devils at this time, wouldn't he just get beaten up? ?

If the imperial court gets carried away by then, and demotes himself to the bottom and promotes Meng Enyuan, wouldn't that be taking advantage of him for nothing?

Can you still do business at a loss?
So Marshal Zhang simply asked Wu Dashe to pretend to be mute, and then asked Kikuchi Takeo and Machino Takema to negotiate with the military together.

In addition, this shrewd old man also brought in the Americans in Fengtian, determined to rely on them to put pressure on him: Don't go too far, Ben! You can't take over the entire Northeast!

Of course, facing a powerful enemy, Fengtian even thought about losing the three cities of Zhengjiatun, Siping and Liaoyuan... at most they could gather strength for a year or two before fighting again.

But the news brought back Marshal Zhang's spirits.

Good boys, you actually managed to defend Siping for me under such circumstances!
"Xiao Liuzi and Fei Lan...are they all right?"

At this time, the Japanese spokesman was still chattering, how could Marshal Zhang listen to him?
But as a provincial governor, he naturally did not show his joy on his face. However, when he asked this question, his voice trembled slightly.

Wu Junsheng also turned his burning gaze over there. Not only Xiao Liuzi and Jiang Feilan, but his only child was also there.

"To reply to your question, everything is fine - Commander Wu, don't worry."

After saying this, Jiang Dengxuan turned around and followed Yang Yuting's instructions and trotted out the door. Marshal Zhang, who had let out a long sigh, sat back down and calmly waved to the Japanese soldier who had been talking nonstop:

"Okay, Lao Zhang, I'm not an educated person. I don't really understand what you've said..." "Now people have been killed, the war has been fought - our Zhengjiatun has also been occupied by you Japanese, what else do you plan to do?"

After all this nonsense, aren't you just planning to occupy the territory and ask me for some money?
Your butt is already sticking up, so you might as well just let that stinky fart out quickly and easily.

Seeing that the Marshal had turned the topic to a serious one, Okawa Masao immediately said in a stern voice: "Since Commander Zhang has made it clear, then we, the Great Empire of Japan, will classify this serious incident as a quasi-war act!"

"In this case, the bandit leader who instigated the war must be brought to justice, the officers and soldiers responsible must be severely punished, and they must be handed over to our Great Japanese Empire for disposal."

"Second, withdraw Feng Delin's troops who are unable to maintain public order in Zhengjiatun, and allow our imperial army to move in and set up a police station;"

"Third, since they are your subordinates, you should be fully responsible... You must personally lead your men to the Kwantung Military Governor's Office and the consulate to apologize."

"Fourth, provide pensions and war compensation to the dead and injured officers and soldiers of our empire and their families!"

As soon as these four demands were made, the Fengtian Army leaders, who had just calmed down a little, became jealous again.

Damn it, is there any immortality in war?

Not only do you want to pay compensation, you also need to severely punish my men and make me apologize to you! ?

Marshal Zhang was very angry. If Zhang Zuoxiang on the other side had not quickly grabbed him at Yang Yuting's signal, the table would have been overturned.

"Mr. Okawa, are your conditions too harsh?"

As the chief of staff of the Fengtian Army, Yang Yuting was the first to express his opinion, "Since this is what you call an act of war..."

"So did your country do the above to the United States after the Black Ship Incident?"

The so-called "Black Ship Incident" was the first time the adoptive father beat his son. It was a humiliation for the Japanese too.

Hearing this, Okawa Masao was immediately furious: "Chief of Staff Yang, this analogy is not appropriate!"

"The several requests we put forward are all based on reasonable and legal circumstances,"

"Let's not talk about compensation... If the officers and soldiers who caused the accident are not severely punished and apologize to us, there will inevitably be more conflicts between China and Japan in the future. We..."

Snapped!
Without the patience to listen to his fart, Marshal Zhang was the first to slam the table and stand up, glaring at the Japanese fiercely: "Yu Ting still has some mundane matters to deal with, so please ask my chief of staff and a few of my men to discuss this matter for me first!"

After saying this, without even looking at their faces which had suddenly turned purple, he picked up the military cap beside him and put it on his head, then quickly left the scene accompanied by Zhao Xishun.

There are so many harsh conditions, and those who take the lead will be severely punished, and it will be handed over to you!

Who do you want?

Do you want my little Liuzi or Feilan?

Hand it over to you, let you parade through the streets as a warning to others, and then secretly take you back to torture and kill you?

What good can a bunch of beasts do!
