Chapter 438: 437 [Admonishment]
On the outskirts of Shenyang, Fengyong University.
On the playground, a class was having a physical education class. The students held wooden guns and practiced bayonet fighting with the instructor.
"drink!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Raising the gun, rushing forward, assassinating, retracting the gun, blocking, assassinating... simple and effective actions were repeated countless times.
Feng Yong, who had already quit smoking, was standing behind the window of the principal's office, smoking a cigarette and silently watching the students, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Are you really sure that the Kwantung Army will attack in the near future?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "Fifth brother, you have been in the Northeast for a long time, so you should know the movements of the Japanese. This year, the Kwantung Army has repeatedly provoked troubles. Not long ago, they even held military exercises on the streets of Shenyang. Are they just kidding?"
"What does Little Six say?" Feng Yong asked.
Zhou Hexuan said: "Zhang Hanqing has received definite information that the Japanese will send troops at the end of the month. But both he and Chang Kaishen tend not to resist, thinking that the Japanese cabinet will order the Kwantung Army to withdraw."
"What's the attitude of the Japanese cabinet?" Feng Yong asked.
"This term of the Japanese cabinet was formed just a few months ago," Zhou Hexuan explained. "Because of the serious economic crisis in Japan, the Japanese cabinet has focused its energy on internal affairs and resolutely opposes the expansion of force."
Feng Yong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's okay. As long as the Japanese government doesn't want to fight, there is still room for relaxation."
Zhou Hexuan said: "Fifth brother, you have read my book "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", and you should know that the Japanese have a tradition of subjugation and superiority. How can the Japanese cabinet control those soldiers?"
Feng Yong murmured: "Isn't it? Even the cabinet can't restrain the army, so isn't the Japanese Ministry of War planning to rebel?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "Since the Washington Conference in 1921, Japan has been disarming on a large scale. In 1921, Japan's military expenditure was 730 million yen. By the end of last year, it had been reduced to less than 500 million yen. But since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, The principle of military priority has always been pursued, and a large number of professional soldiers have been trained. These professional soldiers have no other specialties and can only fight. Disarmament is tantamount to smashing their jobs. The dissatisfaction of Japanese soldiers with the government has reached the extreme. I guess, as long as the Japanese cabinet opposes it this time expansion, Japan's young military officers are likely to launch a coup."
"So radical?" Feng Yong asked in surprise.
"I can't convince Zhang Hanqing, you know his temper, and it's hard to change his mind, that's why I came to you." Zhou Hexuan said.
Zhou Hexuan's name for Zhang Xueliang has changed, and he is obviously very angry about it. Feng Yong sighed, "What can I do?"
"Once the Japanese make a move, we will blow up the Shenyang Arsenal as quickly as possible," Zhou Hexuan gritted his teeth, "Even if it is completely destroyed, it cannot be left to the Japanese!"
Feng Yong hesitated: "What if we blow up the arsenal and the Kwantung Army retreats?"
Zhou Hexuan asked back: "Do you think it's possible?"
"I'll persuade Little Six again to let him move the arsenal first." Feng Yong didn't dare to agree, because this matter was too big and he couldn't bear the responsibility.
The relocation of the Shenyang Arsenal is very difficult, which is currently the largest armory in China. It has four factories for casting guns, casting cannons, shells and light machine guns, with more than 8,000 machines. It also has a scientific research association to focus on research and development of military science and technology.
Just two months ago, Shenyang Arsenal even developed an automatic rifle with 10 bullets. Historically, the blueprint of this automatic rifle disappeared, and it is likely that someone deliberately destroyed or took it away after the outbreak of the September 18th Incident.
It is impossible to quietly destroy such a large-scale arsenal, not to mention that there are still troops stationed there.
Feng Yong took Zhou Hexuan and rushed to Beiping again, waking Zhang Xueliang out of bed in the middle of the night.
Zhang Xueliang rubbed his sleepy eyes, smiled wryly and said, "Mingcheng, you really won't let me go."
Zhou Hexuan said in a cold tone: "I know you are timid and dare not provoke the Japanese. But Shenyang Armory is your decision, don't you want to join the enemy and leave all those things to the Kwantung Army, and use them to invade China in the future?"
Zhang Xueliang said soothingly: "Mingcheng, I have sent a telegram to negotiate with Japanese Foreign Minister Mr. Heihara. He assured me that there is absolutely no possibility of major incidents in Northeast China. He has already severely reprimanded the Japanese Army Department. As long as the Kwantung Army dares to mess around , the Japanese Prime Minister Lu will be impeached, or even dismissed, and the Kwantung Army will inevitably withdraw. Also, the Nanjing government has notified the ministers of Britain, the United States and France, and they have also issued a condemnation to the Japanese government. The League of Nations will definitely not Just sit idly by."
"The condemnation from the League of Nations is useful, so why use the army? The Japanese cabinet is even more unreliable, they are going to die!" Zhou Hexuan said angrily, "If you don't relocate the military factory, I will take the bomb myself and go there Blow them all up!"
Feng Yong also persuaded: "Six sons, take precautions before they happen. It may be right for you to take the approach of not angering the Japanese Kwantung Army, but you also need to leave yourself a way out. First transport the machines from the arsenal, and wait for the situation. It won’t be too late to bring it back after it subsides.”
Zhang Xueliang remained silent, his expression extremely tangled.
Feng Yong said again: "If it is true what Mingcheng said, it will be too late to regret. Have you forgotten the incident on the Middle East Road last time?"
Zhang Xueliang hesitated and said: "But the Shenyang Armory is so big, it can't be moved in less than ten days and half a month, and it is difficult to arrange so many workers."
"As much as you can move, blow up the ones that can't be moved!" Zhou Hexuan said firmly.
Zhang Xueliang said: "I'll think about it again."
"Think about it," Zhou Hexuan roared sharply, "Zhang Xueliang, if you become a mother-in-law again, I will break up with you!"
Zhang Xueliang and Feng Yong looked at Zhou Hexuan in surprise, they had never seen Zhou Hexuan get so angry before, those bright eyes were bloodshot, like a monster that would choose someone to devour.
Zhang Xueliang and Zhou Hexuan looked at each other for a few seconds, then suddenly lowered their heads and said, "Then move."
Zhou Hexuan said to Feng Yong again: "Fifth brother, your school should also be prepared, the Japanese will not let it go."
Feng Yong smiled arrogantly: "As long as the little Japan dares to come, I will personally fly a plane to fight with them, and the only thing I can do is die."
"Fengyong University has many science and engineering students. They are the seeds of the nation and cannot be easily destroyed." Zhou Hexuan said.
Feng Yong nodded and said: "I will make arrangements. Those who are willing to stay and fight against Little Japan will stay. Those who want to continue studying, I will send them to Peking."
Zhou Hexuan advised again: "Han Qing, I still hope that you can resist the Japanese head-on."
"Mingcheng, there is no need to persuade you anymore," Zhang Xueliang said. "It's not that you haven't seen the domestic situation. How can we fight again? I believe in the Japanese cabinet. They can restrain the behavior of the Kwantung Army. The situation this time can be used completely." diplomatic means."
Zhou Hexuan was so angry that he didn't want to talk anymore, he left without looking back and said, "Then I'll take my leave first, I won't disturb you and continue to dream!"
