The Japanese were also shocked when they received warnings from the United States and Britain. The method that Prince Zairen chose was to treat dead horses as living horses, and there was no way. They did similar things almost 10 years ago during the Russo-Japanese War, and even caused some massacres. They were not going to be fine. What's the difference this time?

Foreign Ministry staff, through the warnings of Britain, France and the United States, have found out the matter clearly. The same thing is, there is not much difference. The only difference is that in the Russo-Japanese War that year, there was no news at that time. After the passage of time, the influence and explosiveness were not strong, and they did not even form a hot spot in the world, and disappeared. Now, with the gradual publicity of the northwest and purposeful promotion, almost the whole world knows that the Japanese forced hundreds of thousands of innocent poor people. Thinking of the evil deeds of the past, once the massacre occurs, the Allies and the United States will abandon Japan as soon as possible.

After understanding the seriousness of the problem, the Japanese were also shocked. They thought that ordinary things would become like this after a series of operations. Fortunately, they received the news before, Zai Ren was concerned about the attitude of the Northwest Army and did not choose an extreme method. At present, the civilians are relatively safe.

However, in order to prevent it, Japan also used telegrams to inform Zai Ren of the current international calls and attitudes of various countries, and told Zai Ren to be careful and must not go beyond the line.

The Northwest General Staff has been studying how to solve this problem for a long time. Some people have foreseen that even Cai E maintained restraint and did not approach the Japanese army too much. However, they did not expect that in order to be able to go back, the Japanese army frantically captured nearly 700,000 people, surrounded by all, forced to the desperate situation, and captured more than 600,000 ordinary people. What should we do? What will happen? It will be like a huge question mark in front of everyone.

What else can I do? When the matter was reported to Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao almost didn't think much. He said directly that the Japanese's purpose was to leave, so he arrested so many civilians. In this case, in order to ensure the safety of the people, let the Japanese leave.

The final result was to let the Japanese go, which surprised the General Staff. It was very easy to use a trap to trap the Japanese, but it was released easily. This is not a joke. After being prepared, the Japanese who come back will be even more terrifying. Besides, there are one and two. In the future, the Japanese who make a comeback will naturally stand in an invincible place.

If you win, you will go straight to capture the key cities in the northwest and earn huge economic benefits. If you lose, you might as well use local materials and capture a large number of civilians. No matter how strong the northwest is, you can withstand such several times?

Yang Yuanzhao's reasons are very simple. Since he has agreed to Germany and joined the Allies' camp, his future enemies will be more than Japan. What is Japan? His industrial share accounts for 1% of the world. He cannot produce basic weapons by himself, and he is even worse than Russia. If such a country still needs to pay attention to it, he will not fight in the northwest in the future.

For a country that is not at all on the same level and can only be called the jumping clown, it still attaches so much importance to annihilation of 1 million troops and does not annihilate it? If you really use this as a seed and struggle with a large number of military forces, the northwest will not be afraid at all.

As for whether Japan would threaten the people, Yang Yuanzhao even disdained. The reason why the Japanese were allowed to enter the hinterland and had the opportunity to capture the people was that the Beiyang was not the territory of the revolutionary party at that time. Although the northwest had penetrated and had a slight control, its strength was far inferior to that of the territory of the northwest and even Shandong accepted by Germany. Otherwise, even if the Japanese used such means, the number of people who forced them to be beaten might be only one tenth, or even one percent.

Now, the south is already in the strategy, and the attack will be fully captured within about half a year. The north, with the cooperation of the Beiyang, will be quite smooth. As long as the northwest is given three or four months, the control of the northwest will extend to these two places. Even if the Japanese make a comeback, what awaits them will be a battlefield where the walls and clear the wilderness, or the power to defend the enemy from the country's gates, and there will be no dilemma now.

Yang Yuanzhao's words left the staff speechless and even inspiring. Yes, after the northwest unifies China in the future, the target is Russia, the Allies, the United States, Siberia and Southeast Asia, and the huge territory waiting for the northwest to occupy. In this case, Japan is just an insignificant obstacle. If this is also important, what should be done in the future? Could it be that if the US and British troops are going to surrender? Is that an industrial country far above Japan?

The staff members were all inspired, especially Jiang Baili. He sighed that the rise of the northwest was unstoppable, but the mentality of the people and soldiers still needs to be improved. China is no longer a small, weak country that was 10 years ago, poor and backward, and bullied by countries around the world. After several years of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, several years of continuous development, China has truly transformed from an industry into a strong country, with an industrial heritage and production capacity far exceeding any country in the world.

However, strong industrial and output value cannot be equal to a strong country. This is the mentality of the staff members before. China is already strong enough, and the Chinese people should have strong backing and foundation just like China itself.

With this understanding, Yang Yuanzhao's decision was implemented quickly, and the entire northwest immediately reached a unified opinion, that is, the Japanese could be left under the premise of rescuing the people.

It is OK to let go, but there must be steps and cannot be allowed to let the Japanese move freely. The opinions of the Northwest must be conveyed without hurting the innocent. Otherwise, even if the Northwest goes to the world and goes to the sea, these Japanese soldiers will be killed. This attitude must be achieved.

There was no direct contact with the Japanese. This was when a war was declared. Both sides had withdrawn their diplomatic envoys, so they could only turn around through Britain and France. When Juerdian was in a state of anxiety, he heard about the intentions of the Northwest and took the initiative to contact him.

The conditions given by the Northwest are very simple. If you want to ensure the lives of all people, a 100 Japanese person can fill it. The port can be opened and the Japanese will retreat. However, before opening, at least 500,000 people must be released first. The Northwest promises not to attack, and even if the people have finished releasing, they will not attack.

Zhu Erdian felt more happy when he received an invitation from the Northwest, especially when he saw that the Northwest could take a step back. In their opinion, the key was to withdraw these Japanese people. As long as this goal was achieved, the strength of the Japanese still existed. If he was slightly rectified, he would be able to pose a threat to China. At that time, those who cooperated with Japan would not be the unreliable revolutionary party and the Beiyang, but the Russian and European road rollers.

Because he thought this was good news, Zhu Erdian immediately passed the news to Japan after receiving the news. However, when he received the news from the British, Japan had other ideas. Since the Northwest attached so much importance to these civilians, can they use these civilians to get better treatment, and even occupy Tianjin and refuse to leave.

The Japanese who were greedy and furious made Northwest furious and called the British and French ministers over to clarify their views. Under the premise that the people were forced to be beaten, the Northwest could retreat and let the Japanese leave, but this was the final limit. If you have any other ideas, the Northwest would fight at will.

But the Japanese actually didn't believe it. After finally understanding the Japanese's ideas through the second setter of Britain and France, the Northwest even wanted to take out the fleet that had not been completely completed and had only installed weapons, and to expose their strength, they also wanted to wipe out the Japanese army. They proposed the idea of ​​attacking Japan's mainland and let Japan pay for the possible losses to the people.

The tough reaction of the Northwest, especially the threat of nakedness, scared the Japanese. Although there were not enough warships in the Northwest, the Japanese fleet had been beaten to pieces. Under such circumstances, if the Northwest forcibly attacked the Japanese mainland, Japan would be in trouble.

The reason why Japan has such an attitude is because of its local security. Now, under the threat of a total war in the northwest, they understand their own weaknesses. They immediately did not dare to say anything more, and even began to seek help from Britain, France and the United States.

Britain, France and the United States also realized that as island countries, Japan, lost a large number of joint fleets and new warships, was almost in a state of unfavorable defense. China is currently one of the countries with the highest tonnage of merchant ships in the world, and the shipbuilding industry is also extremely developed. As long as it goes further and solves some key problems, China can produce large warships. With the industrial strength of the northwest, violent warships may overwhelm Japan in a short time. Then, Japan will not only attack China, but even self-protection will become a problem.

Children who can cry have milk. Besides, Japan still needs it. Finally, after adjustments and disputes, the United States and Britain will jointly produce and hand over various 470,000-ton warships for Japan, including some new warships, such as the three Super Fearless Class battleships that the United States is building, and a batch of heavy cruisers. As long as they get these, the Japanese navy will restore its strength within six months.

After Japan got what it wanted, it returned to the negotiating table. After all, Japan's millions of troops were still in danger of being annihilated. The merchant ships of the great powers in advance had already gathered near Tianjin. Go back one day earlier, and all subsequent agreements could be realized one day earlier. (To be continued.)
