Chapter 425: Powered by the whole country!

On May 26, 1932, this was an unforgettable day in history. The East Column officially became a huge new force behind the enemy in the Northeast and was involved in the rolling wave of anti-Japanese war. Lu Shan also officially walked from behind the scenes to the front.

On this day, the Dongzong held its first meeting in the auditorium of Tonghua County High School. In addition to military representatives, some gentry and some reporters were also invited to attend!

Of course, for the need for confidentiality, journalists are not allowed to take photos, and must undergo strict review before attending.

Basically eliminate the possibility of spies getting in!

Although less than a thousand people attended the conference, the influence of this conference was far more than the one-month-month-month self-defense army oath-taking the establishment meeting!

Lu Shan attended the conference but did not make a speech. The main purpose of today's conference was to announce the establishment of the East Column. The East Column was not known to outsiders before, but now it is officially announced to the public.

Qin Shiyu announced the merger on behalf of Lu Shan!

The military aspect is not the main thing, because the military is confidential and cannot be announced to the public. Today's conference is mainly political.

The first major event was to establish the East Liaodong and Yanbian Anti-Japanese Democratic Government (it was the people before, but now it is corrected).

This is a major event. The establishment of a government shows that the Dongzong has the ability to protect the safety of the lives and property of the people in the jurisdiction, and has cleared the remnants of the Japanese and puppet forces in the jurisdiction. Any areas established by the Anti-Japanese Democratic Government have absolute control.

The second major event is to issue a declaration of anti-Japanese and national salvation, expose the ugly face of the Japanese invaders invading China, and send a telegram to the whole country to call on the people of the Northeast and the whole country to join in the cause of anti-Japanese war.

The conference selected Tang Juwu as the chairman of the Anti-Japanese Democratic Government of Liaodong and Yanbian, and Lu Shan as the chairman of the Military Committee of the Anti-Japanese Democratic Government of Liaodong and Yanbian and commander-in-chief of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Column!

On the surface, the Anti-Japanese Government was headed by Tang Juwu, but in fact Lu Shan was the real person in power.

When the news came out, the entire Northeast was in full swing. The power was on. As long as there was a radio station, it could be received. The Japanese army could not control all radio stations in the Northeast, so this news could not be stopped at all and spread at the first time!

The news spread rapidly from outside the pass to inside the pass and then radiated to the whole world. In less than a day, any place where radio waves could be received received received this news!

The news reached the Japanese Kanto Army Command. The newly appointed Kanto Army Commander Nobuyoshi Muto's butt had a cold before the stool was heated up!

"Call me this bastard Seishiro Itagaki!" Muto Nobuyoshi roared. Why did the Kanto Army not know any information about such an important matter in advance? Is this the Kanto Army's intelligence department supposed to be efficient?

Seishiro Itagaki was also very depressed. He had received the news that the East Zong wanted to merge with the Self-Defense Forces long ago, but he felt that it was not that easy for the two armies to merge, and the two armies had conflicts in their concepts and disputes in their power. It can be said that there were very big contradictions!

According to his understanding of the Chinese, unless one army defeats another army, or when the strength is huge, one army can annex another!

The Dongzong has strong combat power, but the number of people is relatively small. After just experiencing a big war, it should have suffered considerable losses. The expansion of the Self-Defense Forces is a group of mobs, but the number of people is very advantageous!

If the two do not match and fight together, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the Japanese Empire.

He is also tempting them to start a conflict by sending spies around them!

As long as they fight, even if they know that it is their work, as long as this crack exists, it will not be so easy to heal!

As long as the crack is constantly enlarged, the merger between the two can be completely destroyed.

Once the merger of these two teams is definitely not good news for the Great Japanese Empire, but what he didn't expect was that the opponent was too fast and the merger was completed before he could react.

Although it is only on the surface, as long as they are given time and wait until they complete the integration of the troops, it will be really a big trouble.

Seishiro Itagaki was also anxious. At this time, he had to dispatch a large army to disrupt the opponent's steps to integrate the army, so that the opponent could not reorganize the army before the local army arrived.

However, now they have insufficient troops at hand. If they want to gather troops, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction. There is more than one anti-Japanese armed force in the northeast, and which one of them will grow and grow is a threat to the Japanese Empire.

The country has just experienced a military coup, and the situation is still unclear. The plan to transfer troops from Shanghai that Commander Honjo Hashi had previously finalized was also in trouble. The big figures in China are busy taking the position of prime minister, and I am afraid that the issue of sending troops will be delayed.

At this time, news of the merger of the Eastern League Self-Defense Forces was suddenly heard, which was quite bad for the Kwantung Army and would even set off a new round of resistance. The Kwantung Army, which originally had few troops, would capture the shoulders and show elbows again.

With an uneasy mood, Seishiro Itagaki walked into Muto Nobuyoshi's office!

"Hiss Commander!"

"Ichigaki, do you know why I came to you?" Muto Nobuyoshi's face was as dark as charcoal at the bottom of a pot.

"Yes I know!"

"Can you give me an explanation?" Muto Nobuyoshi asked.

"Hisser Commander, my intelligence team has almost all fallen into it. We cannot grasp too much about their movements. This time, their movements are too fast!"

"The movement is too fast, then there will be no clue in advance?" Muto Nobuyoshi said angrily, "The merger of tens of thousands of troops has no signs in advance?"

"No, they did a very good job of keeping confidentiality!" Seishiro Itagaki said awkwardly.

"I am very dissatisfied with the work of Itagaki. You claim to have the best intelligence officer in the world, so why can't you even get the intelligence of a mob?"

"Your Excellency Commander, they are not a mob, but an elite team!"

"Okay, I don't want to hear what you said. In the current situation, what are you doing? Once these rebels complete the reorganization they have done, they will inevitably launch an attack on us. This is untolerable. For example, destroy them before they launch an attack. Do you understand?" Muto Nobuyoshi roared.

"Yes, Commander!" said Seishiro Itagaki, "I have an idea, please consider it!"

"Tell me!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.

"Although the East Column and the so-called Self-Defense Forces have announced a merger, their troops are still scattered everywhere, and it will take some time to integrate them. If we can provoke conflicts between them, as long as they destroy their merger plan, the so-called merger will be nothing but name-named!" said Seishiro Itagaki.

"How to provoke?" Muto Nobuyi said a little more interested.

"Our people pretend to be theirs, rob their supplies, kill theirs, cause their misunderstandings, and then sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight!" said Seishiro Itagaki.

"This is probably not easy. Since those people can discover the intelligence team you sent out, they will definitely not be foolish."

"Commander, we can send people to infiltrate first, and then spread false information and let them beat themselves!" said Seishiro Itagaki.

"Are you sure you can provoke their conflict?" Muto Nobuyoshi said.

"It's hard to say, but if this method succeeds, it will save us a lot of effort!" said Seishiro Itagaki.

"We can try this. We are now surprised. We really can't draw too many troops. If we can achieve great results at a very small cost, I'm very happy to see it." Muto Nobuyoshi said.

"His Commander, have you approved my plan?"

"You can try it, but be careful!" Muto Nobuyoshi said.

As for the current military strength of the Kwantung Army, it is still possible to draw four or five thousand people, but Muto Nobuyoshi dared not take risks. After all, tens of thousands of Japanese troops had suffered a crushing defeat before. Isn’t it a reward for the opponent with just four or five thousand troops?

After the Dongzong and the Self-Defense Forces joined forces, most of the information they received about the Dongzong was destroyed. Now they have to investigate and collect it again, but this takes time and is very difficult!

Seishiro Itagaki came out of Muto Nobuyi's office and felt a headache. He wanted to provoke the relationship between the East Gate and the Self-Defense Forces. If this time fails, it will be even more difficult next time.

I have to plan carefully. Although more than half of the intelligence teams were destroyed, some survived.

The Dongzong issued a telegram across the country, and the news of calling on compatriots to rise up to fight against Japan at the regiment level came. The country once again launched an anti-Japanese war. The branch of the anti-Japanese and national salvation branch in Peking received donations of tens of thousands of yuan within one day. When overseas Chinese heard the news, they were willing to pay for weapons and ammunition to fund the Dongzong, and even were willing to purchase large weapons such as heavy artillery and tanks.

Anti-Japanese marches broke out in Peking, Tianjin, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places. The students who went to Nanjing to petition even wrote a bloody letter to request the Nanjing people to declare war on Japan!

**The side later published a signed article proposing to the Eastern Union to unite the people of the whole country and unanimously fight against Japan!

The article uses a sharp pen to illustrate the importance and urgency of saving the country in the War of Resistance and War, and condemns the Kuomintang’s policy of “to calm the country before fighting foreign countries”.

Nanjing had just signed a stolen country agreement with Japan, and was scolded by the Chinese people and agreed to ban the domestic anti-Japanese organization. The Dongzong's anti-Japanese power supply unexpectedly put Nanjing on fire.

I don’t know how many times did Lao Jiang scold “Myung Xipi” in his official residence, and scolded Zhang Hanqing for ruining the country!

Tang Juwu is Zhang Hanqing's man, so Jiang of course thought this was done by him.

In Peking, Zhang Hanqing was still concerned. Considering that the League of Nations investigation team was still in Manchuria, he did not openly send a public telegram to support him. However, he still sent a commission to Tang Juwu and others, appointing Tang Juwu as the chairman of the Liaoning Provincial Government and promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. The rest of the people were awarded certain military ranks according to their positions. The brigade commander was a major general, the deputy brigade and regiment commander were colonels, the deputy regiment was a lieutenant colonel, and the battalion level was a major, etc.

Zhang Hanqing thought that after the merger, the new Eastern Zong was still led by Tang Juwu. Although Lu Shan was also mentioned in the telegram, he only quickly wrote it over, hoping that Lu Shan could obey Tang Juwu's command.

This is also the effect Lu Shan wants. He doesn't want to be too much attention from Zhang Hanqing and Nanjing. The purpose of Tang Juwu being elected by him as the president of the government is to attract people's attention, while he quietly hid behind and planned all this!

This is also the strategy he discussed with Tang Juwu!
