It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zuolin, who was originally the commander of the 27th Beiyang Division, had become the governor of Fengtian for at least two years ahead of schedule with the support of the Japanese. Now he has five Japanese armed divisions, including Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, Tang Linyu, Zhang Zuoxiang, and Zhang Jinghui, and five mixed brigades. It can be said that with the support of the Japanese, the power of this small man, who was the northerner and the southerner, has expanded like a balloon.

In fact, the Japanese love and hate Zhang Zuolin because this person looks stupid, but in fact he is not sloppy. Takeo Kikuchi, who is responsible for negotiations between the Great Japanese Empire and Zhang Zuolin, feels the deepest: "This Chinese who looks whispering seems easy to talk to. When you make a request, he is OK, and that's fine, but when you ask him to implement it, he starts to swear his beard and stare, pushing and stopping until he is completely denied the debt. If you have not dealt with him directly, you can't imagine that there are guys like Zhang Zuolin who speaks very savagely and has no reason to speak in the world. I have planned to kill this hateful guy with the Kanto Army's group of people."

In fact, on the issue of Manchuria and Mongolia, the Japanese have never been able to form a unified opinion on supporting the remnants of the Qing Dynasty and supporting Zhang Zuolin. However, after Wang Zhenyu's rapid rise, all Japanese personnel in Manchuria and Mongolia finally reached an agreement on this point and made every effort to support Zhang Zuolin's group in order to have the power to confront other Chinese forces and maintain the state of continued division in China.

Although he hated Zhang Zuolin very much, the consultant of Juchi had to bite the bullet and find this rogue warlord, because the military department gave the latest instructions, requiring Juchi, the consultants working in the Fengtian Army, to instigate Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian army to enter the pass and participate in the war. As for the result, it is not what the military department needs to care about. The military think tanks are now only one goal. Since Cao Kun and Wu Peifu and their direct troops have muddyed the water, Japan does not mind making this muddy water even more muddy, because only in this way can Nanchina dare not easily enter the North China area to wade into muddy water. Once Nanchina chooses to wade into muddy water, its industrial construction will naturally slow down.

"Master, the time has come for you to establish a foundation for a lifetime." The first sentence of Juchi walked into Zhang Zuolin's study made Zhang Zuolin's forehead congested and his body was hot. Not only Zhang Zuolin, but also Yang Yuting, the chief of staff beside him, also looked surprised.

Even so, Zhang Zuolin continued calmly: "Advisor Kikuchi, you made fun of me, Lao Zhang again. Now it is the Double Heroes Club. Premier Duan from Beijing and Chairman Sun from Nanjing are both qualified to win the world. However, Lao Zhang does not have this qualification. At best, he is just guarding Fengtian's family business. Apart from that, he dare not think about him anymore."

Takeo Kikuchi knew Zhang Zuolin's little thoughts naturally and would not believe his nonsense. He bowed and said, "Master, your country can be said to be a situation of Zhuolu now. It is a great opportunity for heroes to be born. As long as the commander of the commander enters the pass, this great river is within your fingertips."

After hearing this, Zhang Zuolin waved his hand and said, "Advisor Kikuchi, don't lie to me. Just the power of our Feng army, let alone the youth army in the south, the participating troops in Premier Duan can settle me. At this time, you asked me to bring the army into the pass, wouldn't you ask me to find a cut? I won't do this."

Takeo Kikuchi smiled and said, "Master, you misunderstood. Of course, we are not foolish at snatching territory. Can we take advantage of the situation? Looking back more than a year ago, we have mastered the youth army in more than a dozen southern provinces. At that time, the territory and army were not as good as the commander. You just took advantage of the opportunity of President Yuan transferring his main force to Sichuan to attack Cai E, and took advantage of the situation to occupy the nine southern provinces."

Yang Yuting interrupted: "Yes, now they are not only nine provinces, but also twelve provinces in the southwest. We are afraid that we will really not feel happy when we go in now."

Takeo Kikuchi smiled and said, "But you only see the expansion of others, not the crisis of others. Let's take a look at the performance of Wang Zhenyu, the young army after winning such a large area of ​​territory. Because of his poor foundation, he had to hand over the power of Nanjing to Sun Yat-sen and Zhang Taiyan. What's more important is that he has no money to develop such a large territory. In order to maintain the southern National Government, he even sent hundreds of thousands of young people to Europe to Britain and France as cannon fodder in exchange for economic support from the British and French powers. Such a government must complete the entire southern region. It is estimated that the effective integration of resources will take several years. Not to mention going north, even self-protection is insufficient. According to the Empire's information in Shanghai, South China is at its weakest moment at this time, and all the twenty-one main field divisions are in a serious shortage of staff. Most of the divisions have a full rate of less than 40%, and some are even less than 30%. Even when the war in Beijing is basically about to start, the Southern National Government has no plan to carry out any military mobilization or supplements. It is obvious that they have no plans to take the opportunity to go north at all."

Takeo Kikuchi paused for a moment and continued, "Mr. Zhang, although I am a Japanese, I am your consultant after all. To be honest, I hope my employer, you can become the supreme ruler of China. So we have had preliminary contact and communication with the Kwantung Army. Their opinions are a bit new to us, but this does not prevent me from telling you and Yang Gaosan that the Kwantung Army's plan is to lead troops into the Beijing-Tianjin area, cooperate with General Cao Kun and Wu Peifu and others to defeat Duan Qirui's government together,."

Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin gasped: "Damn little Japanese, it's so damn bad. Isn't you the government that you support this nose? It's both loans and arms. Damn, if you say it's done, it's just a matter of killing it. It seems that you have to be more careful in the future and don't be cheated by these grandchildren."

Zhang Zuolin had a scheming in his heart, and Kikuchi Wu continued to talk: "Our idea is that Marshal Zhang, you are waiting for a great battle between Duan Qirui and Cao Wu. When both sides are exhausted, you will then rush into the pass, just like the Eight Banners of Manchuria, to complete the unification of China, and the National Government in the South is at best a small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty."

Zhang Zuolin glanced at Kuchi and cursed in his heart: "Your grandson is just a big fool, just the National Government or the Nanming small court. Do you think I am a bandit in the mountains and valleys and don't know the world outside. Have you ever seen the Nanming small court that can defeat the army of the great powers?"

Kikuchi seemed to see the thoughts of Zhang Zuolin, the old fox, and he added: "Master, to the words of our Japanese Warring States Period, the road of the world is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will have to retreat. If you miss this opportunity, then in a few years, when the National Government in the South becomes stronger, all the Master can do is to surrender and become an Ale Hou who lives under someone else's roof. Master, you must not lose the opportunity and never come again."

Zhang Zuolin felt that his thoughts were a little confused, so he habitually glanced at Yang Yuting, who was known as the little Zhuge, sitting beside him.

Yang Yuting naturally knew what his commander thought. He coughed and said, "Mr. Kikuchi, if I heard it correctly, you mean we will send troops to the pass and then help Premier Duan defeat Governor Cao and the others."

Takefu Kikuchi said in agreement with this statement.

Yang Yuting said here: "But our Feng army cannot support such a large military operation. Mr. Kikuchi, this really makes us feel embarrassed."

Takeo Kikuchi seemed to have expected this a long time ago. He smiled very politely: "Then, how much support does your army need if it sends troops to the pass."

OK, this is the rhythm that can be used to get benefits. This is Zhang Zuolin's favorite rhythm. He deliberately said with a face that he looked like: "Lin Ge, how can you do this? How can you ask our Japanese friends for something? What we Northeastern people talk about is loyalty. How can we help friends with benefits? You kid are still a pure man from our Northeastern people? Isn't this sincerely let Mr. Kikuchi laugh at us Northeastern people? Mr. Kikuchi, don't listen to him, this kid has no brains."

The last sentence was said to Kikuchi. Just as Kikuchi was about to be polite, Yang Yuting stopped doing it: "Master, this is not a trivial matter in the army. Before the army moved, food and grass should be taken first, food and food, food and food, the brothers' settlement expenses, the ammunition consumed, and the pensions and subsidies for the victims and injured brothers, that is not allowed to spend money. We Northeast people are loyal and loyal, but the brothers below are not from the family. If you want this method, you can do it yourself, and I can't play with it."

Zhang Zuolin was furious when he heard this: "Yang Linge, are you so strong now? Do you dare to challenge me? I will have to send this army today. Mr. Kikuchi, go back and tell your Japanese friends that I, Zhang Zuolin, are loyal. Even if the entire army starves to death, my team will climb to Shanhaiguan. Don't worry."

Having said that, Kikuchi also saw that Zhang Zuolin and Yang Yuting had a double act here. After cursing shamelessly in his heart, he had to smile with a smile on his face: "Master, don't be angry. We all understand your difficulties. I also brought a plan here. This time, the dispatch of troops within the pass is related to the Master's Wanshi's foundation. You are a friend of our Great Japanese Empire, and our Great Japanese Empire is also loyal."

After saying that, Takeo Kikuchi took out a document he carried with him and handed it to Yang Yuting, and Yang Yuting forwarded it to Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Zuolin waved his hand and said, "You guys see it yourself, I can't read it,."

A few days later, the Fengtian Governor Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to condemn the rebellious behavior of Cao Kun, Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang and others, and announced that he would absolutely support the Beijing Central Committee and demand that Cao Wu withdraw his troops immediately. Otherwise, the Fengtian Army's 200,000 Tiger Ben will make the livelihood of the people of the world and enter the pass to fight against the rebellion for the central government.
