Yan Xishan didn't walk far away at this time. He heard Zhou Yuanliang's soft cry behind him and couldn't help but stop. However, he didn't look back, but just paused slightly and continued to walk out as if he didn't know anything. Fang Zida could see clearly at the door, and couldn't help but glar at Zhou Yuanliang. Zhou Yuanliang immediately realized that he was too anxious.

"Come in with me." After saying this, Fang Zida turned around and entered the office. Zhou Yuanliang hurriedly followed behind, while Zhang Huchen knew how to guard the door in person to prevent outsiders from disturbing him.

"What's the panic like? Don't you know the concept of confidentiality?" Fang Zida scolded with an unhappy expression. After sitting down, he asked, "What's the big deal in the Northeast? Tell me."

"Sorry, sir, the news from the Northeast is very urgent. Please read this telegram first." Zhou Yuanliang blushed in shame and quickly handed the telegram in his hand to Fang Zida first. After Fang Zida read the telegram for a few minutes, he made an oral report.

As Zhou Yuanliang said earlier, something big happened in the Northeast. Just after the incident of the smashing of the porcelain shop in Fengtian, the conflict between the Chinese and Japanese expatriates in Fengtian City suddenly intensified. In two days, the incident of Japanese people pouring sulfuric acid on people, which led to the massacre of thousands of people in Fengtian City and the major incident of smashing several Japanese shops. Among these two events, the incident of the smashing of the porcelain shop was the fuse, and the incident of the spreading of the sulfuric acid on people was a key step in causing the situation to deteriorate sharply. On the day the incident of the sulfuric acid on people was the incident, the residents and vendors of China and Japan from quarrels to the final fight due to various reasons, and the angry Chinese residents in Fengtian City were hit by the angry Chinese residents.

There were seven Japanese shops destroyed. There were more than 40 Chinese people in the group beaten up. There were more than 70 Japanese businessmen, ronin and other injured people, of which 17 were seriously injured. There was even an unlucky Japanese vendor who was almost beaten to death on the spot because they ran slowly. When the police arrived, the streets were covered with wailing wounded people, and hundreds of angry Chinese people were chasing about ten Japanese businessmen who ran with shoulder poles and kitchen knives, and they were chasing about ten Japanese businessmen who fled in a panic. If the police hadn't stopped them, perhaps these Japanese people might have been beaten to death by the Chinese, and the Japanese shops in Fengtian City would have been smashed.

Following the police was the Manchurian Railway Guard that came upon hearing the news. When these Japanese soldiers arrived at the scene, they immediately saw the Japanese wounded on the ground, their eyes turned red and furious. They immediately used their weapons to arrest all the Chinese people present. This time, the Chinese police, who had almost calmed down the situation, stopped them and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the Japanese soldiers, and said that this was a public security issue. Now that the police have arrived, the situation has basically subsided, the police will handle the next matter properly.

Who would have thought that the Japanese soldier who was so anxious that he was red-eyed and moved without saying a word. The team leader even stepped forward and knocked the police officer who came to negotiate to the ground with a gun, and wanted to disarm the Chinese police present as a punishment.

Originally, the Chinese were filled with anger in their hearts these two days, especially today, when a bad thing happened in which the Japanese used sulfuric acid to throw people, and the victims were children who didn't know anything. Although this group of people beat and smashed Japanese stores a bit too much, most of the Japanese vendors who were injured and smashed the shops were also affected by the fish, but no matter what, the key point of the incident was still you Japanese. If there were no Japanese ronin who had been hiding the porcelain shop and shooting and driving the Chinese, how could this happen now?

To be honest, to be fair, both parties have the responsibility for the entire incident of the group fight. The police have arrived at the scene and controlled the situation. What to do next is of course judged based on facts. But you Japanese are better. You Japanese don’t ask, not only will you arrest people on the spot, but also blatantly beat the police who maintain order. It’s simply too arrogant.

The Manchurian Railway Guard fought against the police officer and wanted to disarm the Chinese police. This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of all the Chinese people present, especially the Chinese police who were already full of anger. This time, the police were also angry. You Japanese people dared to use force and disarm the Chinese police on China's territory? It was so amazing! They immediately took out their weapons and confronted these Manchurian Railway Guard soldiers.

This time, the Japanese soldier of the Manchu Railway was even more angry. A soldier who was blinded by anger actually pulled the gun and fired at the sky despite the tension between the two sides. He took it for granted that the Chinese police would surrender as if they were at the door of the Manchu Railway Office that day. Who would have thought that the gun would arouse the anger of the Chinese police. A policeman also fired a fire with his own color. As soon as the two shots were fired, the scene suddenly became chaotic. The residents of both Chinese and Japanese who participated in the fight were panicked and dodged everywhere. The soldiers of both Chinese and Japanese soldiers mistakenly thought that the other party was officially shooting at them because of the chaos. They were so scared that they pulled the trigger and started shooting at the other party.

The ordinary group fight suddenly turned into a battle. A gunshot fired, and dozens of people fell down on both sides. At this moment, the commanders of both sides were panicked and hurriedly looked for cover for cover, shots, and rescued their own people. At the same time, they asked someone to immediately inform their superiors that the other party was attacking him...

"What's going on now?" Fang Zida asked with a frown.

"According to the report of Fengtian intelligence officers, two squads were dispatched on the same day. Our police had more than 300 people. 8 people were injured and 3 people died in the conflict. 27 people were injured and 6 people died in our police." Zhou Yuanliang whispered and said, "In the end, Zhang Zuolin transferred the Fengtian garrison outside the city to come forward and rushed to a battalion to force the situation down. Now the Japanese of Manchu Iron have protested to Zhang Zuolin and asked Zhang Zuolin to hand over the murderer and severely punished. At the same time, after receiving the request for help from Manchu Iron, the Japanese in Kanto Prefecture also protested to Fengtian and mobilized a squadron to rush to Fengtian, because the public security in Fengtian City had deteriorated, the protection of Manchu Iron and the protection of Japanese expatriates needed to be strengthened."

"Just!" Fang Zida said with a cold expression, not knowing whether he was referring to a Japanese or Zhang Zuolin.

"What is Zhang Zuolin's reaction now?"

"This... the news came that he was negotiating with the top management of the Manchurian Railway and the Governor of Kanto Prefecture. The specific results of the negotiation are not known yet."

"Just negotiation..." Fang Zida lit a cigar and frowned and asked, "Where is his troops? Have you notified the troops to enter the state of preparation?"

"This is not the case for the time being, it just makes the troops below be vigilant and try to avoid conflicts with the Japanese."

Shaking his head, Fang Zida was particularly dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's reaction. In his opinion, the temporary entrusting of the Japanese with Qushe was a strategy, and striving to turn big things into small things is also a countermeasure, the purpose is to gain time. But no matter what the preparations should be made, they must be done. No matter what aspects, these things were caused by the Japanese themselves. Although China is at fault, most of the responsibility lies with Japan. Moreover, the General Staff had already told Zhang Zuolin the entire plan to prepare for war, but until now, Zhang Zuolin only expanded the army and did not care much about preparing for war. What exactly did Zhang Zuolin want to do? Do he still have selfish intentions at this time?

At this time, Fang Zida couldn't help but remember Wu Peifu's words. Wu Peifu was not very optimistic about Zhang Zuolin at that time, and felt that Zhang Zuolin's military acumen was far from competent for heavy responsibilities. Moreover, in Wu Peifu's opinion, Zhang Zuolin still had a stingy spirit in his bones and took his army and strength too seriously. He was worried that once the war began, Zhang Zuolin would not do his best. At first, Fang Zida didn't quite agree with this view, thinking that Zhang Zuolin was much more backbone than his son Zhang Xiaoliuzi, and at least he could use it. Who would have thought that Zhang Zuolin would shrink when things came to an end. It would have been better to listen to Wu Peifu's words and replace him with Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian.

Moreover, another idea also emerged in Fang Zida's mind. If the incident of suppressing sulfuric acid was a sudden accident, and the incident of being smashed by the porcelain shop was a bit strange. According to Fang Zida's understanding of the Japanese, the Japanese could do anything bad, and they were shameless and weak. If the incident of the porcelain shop was not as simple as the surface, and someone was instigating the group fight after the incident of suppressing sulfuric acid...

After pondering for a while, Fang Zida immediately asked this question to Zhou Yuanliang. Zhou Yuanliang was stunned when he heard this and could not answer for a while.

"Tell your people to check immediately, hurry up!" Fang Zida said firmly.

"Yes, I will arrange.........." Zhou Yuanliang replied hurriedly, turning around and going to make arrangements.

Dingling... The phone rang suddenly. Fang Zida turned around and saw that a red telephone on the table was ringing. He quickly got up and answered.

"Well... I just found out... um... oh... um... good... good... right now..."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Zida said to Zhou Yuanliang: "You can arrange someone to verify it immediately in Fengtian, and go to the Prime Minister's Office with me in five minutes."

"Go to the Prime Minister's Office?" Zhou Yuanliang said in surprise.

Nodded, Fang Zida had already put on his coat at this time, raised his legs and walked towards the door: "Just received the news, the Japanese ambassador officially protested to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Premier Song notified the convening of an emergency cabinet meeting and asked the General Staff to attend together. You are an intelligence officer and can provide some information for decision-making."

"Yes!" As soon as his legs touched his heels, Zhou Yuanliang quickly helped Fang Zida open the door and jogged to make arrangements first.

Five minutes later, Fang Zida took Zhou Yuanliang and Zhang Huchen on time and quickly headed towards the Prime Minister's Office. At this time, Song Jiaoren and Foreign Minister Cao Rulin were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the chiefs and deputy chiefs of the cabinet. [(m) Read without windows]
