The young marshal was really getting a little restless. He knew that many people present were dissatisfied with his previous use and protection of Guo Tianyun, but no one dared to say anything due to the old marshal's favor. In addition, the Third Army Corps was indeed led by Guo Tianyun, and its combat effectiveness was unrivaled among the others, so no one dared to say much.

Things are different now. The person he trusts most has rebelled. This is tantamount to a loud slap in the face of the young marshal!

"Marshal, I will take the main responsibility for the rebellion of Guo and Tang this time. I am willing to lead the troops to Tajin to resist the enemy!" The young marshal stood up and said in a deep voice with his head down.

"This is none of your business! You don't have to take the responsibility on yourself! It's not your turn to stand up for me!" Marshal Lin said unhappily.

Lei Zhenting looked at everyone, then looked at Marshal Yu Lin and said slowly:

"What the Marshal said is true. This matter has no direct relationship with the Young Marshal. Tang Yangjing's troops are currently blocked in Tajin and will not have a direct impact on Fengtian. The most important thing is Guo Tianyun's Third Army, whose whereabouts are currently unknown. This is the key!"

The commander of the First Corps, Cheng Jun, received the message: "I have long seen that Guo Guizi is not a good guy. It is only because our commander-in-chief cherishes his talent that he kept him. But how can we hand over all the elite troops to one person? In the early days of the war against Zhili, all the weapons and equipment seized were assigned to the Third Corps. I expressed my different opinions, but no one listened at that time. Now, in the end, they have to rely on us, the so-called old-school!"

When everyone heard Cheng Jun's words, they nodded in agreement.

The young commander's face turned red and white, and he could crawl into any crack in the ground! What he said was so infuriating!

"Cheng Jun! Now is not the time to talk about this! You don't need to be my family! It's not your turn to teach my son a lesson! Sit down!" Marshal Yu Lin was really angry. He scolded Cheng Jun!

Cheng Jun sat down with an unhappy look on his face, mumbling to himself.

Fengtian Governor Li Jiangjiu stood up and said, "Marshal, Junior Marshal, there is an urgent matter at the moment, which is Wu Junsheng in Heilongjiang Province. In the final analysis, Wu Junsheng did not really rebel. Although there was an exchange of fire, it was the bandits who exchanged fire with our vanguard. This shows that Wu Junsheng did not have the intention to rebel, but was just used by people with ulterior motives. I think we should send someone to Heilongjiang Province to appease Wu Junsheng and stabilize Wu Junsheng, and then talk about it after the Guo and Tang issues are resolved."

"Who told you they were bandits? You saw with your eyes that they were bandits. Bandits are equipped with artillery?"

The Marshal wanted to continue to scold Li Jiangjiu, but Lei Zhenting beside him couldn't stand it anymore. Right now, he was in need of people. He was firing without distinguishing between the matter and the person. This was forcing people to the other side! He stood up and took over the Marshal's words and said:

"Marshal, please don't act on impulse! Wu Junsheng can't cause any big trouble right now, so we can ignore him for now. What Governor Li said makes sense! But we don't need to send anyone to appease him. We can just keep an eye on him at the Laola River. With the military strength of Heilongjiang Province, he still won't dare to act recklessly!"

Minister of Railway Transportation Yu Guangdi stood up and continued, "I think the most difficult thing right now is to find the Japanese and the Kwantung Army as soon as possible and ask them to immediately block the railway line! Don't give the rebels the possibility to advance along the railway!"

Marshal Yu Lin's eyes lit up when he heard Yu Guangdi's words. After all he had said, only this one sentence was useful!

Everyone started talking at once again, and Marshal Yu Lin didn't want to listen anymore, so he ended the meeting in a hurry.

Arriving at the war room, he asked Lei Zhenting, "Is there still no news about the Third Legion?"

"Marshal, I have searched all possible places around Fengtian, but there is no sign of the Third Army, unless..."

"Don't waste time. Unless what? Hurry up and tell me," Marshal Yu Lin said impatiently.

"Unless Guo Tianyun hides in Beimozhou!" Lei Zhenting said as he tapped Beimozhou on the map with his baton.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this! That's right! Beimozhou is currently the sphere of influence of the neighboring Su Empire in the north. China has no troops stationed here, but there are troops from the Su Empire!

"Are those damn Guo Guizi colluding with the Soviet Union?" Cheng Jun cursed angrily!

Lei Zhenting looked at Cheng Jun and said confidently: "It is very possible! Otherwise, it would be impossible to find such a large team!"

"Notify the Soviet Consulate in Fengtian immediately! Our troops will enter Beimo Province for reconnaissance!" Marshal Yu Lin said and walked out the door.

At this point he had to go to the Kwantung Army Headquarters in person. He was bound to be blackmailed severely, but what else could he do? If he didn't humble himself, he would lose his life.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, Yoshinori Shirakawa, personally met with Marshal Yu Lin.

"Marshal, how come you have time to come to my place today?" Baichuan said enthusiastically while standing in front of the headquarters and shaking Marshal Yu Lin's hand.

Marshal Yu Lin cursed in his heart, "How can you not know why I am like this?" He said with a smile on his face, "Brother Baichuan, I am in trouble today and I came here to ask you for help!"

Shirakawa said with a look of hypocritical concern: "Oh? I wonder what I can do for Marshal Yu Lin?" Shirakawa Yoshinori was very clear about the current situation in Fengtian. It could even be said that the Kwantung Army had already grasped some of the intelligence. The Kwantung Army's intelligence personnel had long known that Guo and Tang were plotting a rebellion but had deliberately concealed it from Marshal Yu Lin.

The Yu Lin Marshal whom they personally supported has become increasingly dishonest in the past two years. He has been playing Tai Chi with them in many things and telling lies. The Kwantung Army just took this opportunity to give him a good lesson.

As expected, the Kwantung Army proposed a bunch of additional conditions, more than ten in total, including building railways, increasing the number of reclamation groups, currency exchange, opening up the field of mineral development to Japan, etc., which were all traitorous clauses. What Shirakawa Yoshinori didn't expect was that Marshal Yu Lin didn't even look at them, and signed them without waiting for them to finish speaking! Surprisingly smooth.

Marshal Yu Lin cursed in his heart, signed the document and left. Looking at the smiling Japanese, Marshal Yu Lin cursed inwardly after the car drove out of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, "Fuck you! You are ripping me off! I will starve you to death!"

As for why he signed the treaty? Marshal Yu Lin thought very clearly that if the treaty was signed, and the Kwantung Army could help him through the crisis, he would still be in power. As for how to implement the treaty, he had the final say. If he dragged his feet, what could he do? If he failed to survive the crisis, he would step down, and the treaty would not count!

Marshal Yu Lin is such a person who doesn't care about details, and he doesn't play by the rules. He never takes the so-called selling out of the country seriously, and he doesn't care about his reputation! Everything is based on strength!"

Everyone in the Kwantung Army was very happy that Marshal Yu Lin signed this agreement.

"General, this time the rain forest is finally obedient! It no longer plays tricks on us!" Chief of Staff Honjo said with a smile.

In their opinion, this time Yu Lin Shuai was completely defeated.

"For a long time, I believe that Yu Lin is still the best spokesperson for our Great Japanese Empire in Kanto! At present, there is no more suitable candidate than him! A stable Kanto is in line with the fundamental interests of our Great Japanese Empire!" said Shirakawa Yoshinori.

"Mr. Honjo, you must immediately arrange to blockade all railway lines in Kanto! Prohibit Chinese troops from appearing within the three-gong range along the railway! And assist the Dongning Army in transferring troops to Tajin and Beimozhou!" Shirakawa said seriously.

“Hi!” Honjo stood at attention and shouted back.

The two walked back to Shirakawa's office, and Honjo asked tentatively, "General, do you believe that Marshal Yu Lin's army can withstand the rebels' attack?"

Baichuan stopped when he heard this, and turned to look at Honjo. His sharp eyes made Honjo feel uncomfortable: "He must win! Because only his victory is in the best interests of our Great Wa Empire! You must know that the Soviet Empire is behind the rebels! The Empire will never allow other countries to get involved in the land of Guandong! As a last resort, it is not impossible for the Guandong Army to send troops personally! Honjo, please put away your cleverness! Especially Wu Junsheng from Heilongjiang Province, he is not enough to guarantee the interests of the empire!"

After hearing what Shirakawa said, Honjo lowered his head even lower. He knew that his little thoughts were seen through by the commander.

That's right, Honjo was Wu Xiushan's senior at the Japanese Army Academy, and it was Wu Xiushan who taught him Chinese. The two were very good friends, and at this moment Wu Xiushan was waiting for news from Honjo in his mansion!

Wu Xiushan had secretly gone to Fengtian the day before, and when he arrived in Fengtian, he went straight to Honjo's mansion and explained his purpose to him. Honjo was now the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army. If it was normal, it would be very simple to arrange for the Kwantung Army troops to slightly support Wu Junsheng's troops or give him some convenience.

But now the whole of Kanto is in chaos, and Honjo dare not act rashly. If that causes irreversible consequences, he will no longer be needed as the chief of staff!

He secretly felt fortunate for his decision. Now looking at General Shirakawa's attitude, he could not support Wu Junsheng no matter what.

When he returned home and saw Wu Xiushan, Benzhuang couldn't wait to speak.

"Honjo-senpai, any news? Will the Kwantung Army support my father?"

Honjo said apologetically, "I'm sorry that I can't help you this time, Hideyama-kun. General Shirakawa has reached an agreement with your Marshal Yulin today! The Kwantung Army will continue to support him!"

After hearing Honjo's words, Wu Xiushan felt confused. He never expected that the Kwantung Army would still support Marshal Yu Lin in this situation.

Wu Xiushan asked unwillingly: "Senior, don't you have any other way? My father can serve the Great Japanese Empire better!" Because he was studying in Japan, Wu Xiushan looked like a complete slave.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiushan. This concerns the empire's national policy and it's not something I can decide. I'm sorry! I hope you can go back and persuade your father to take care of himself," Honjo said apologetically.

That night, all the Dongning Army troops stationed around Fengtian were mobilized and gathered outside the city to build defensive fortifications.

The First Legion was urgently transferred to the direction of Beimozhou to deploy a defensive posture.

It seemed that everything was developing in Yu Lin Shuai's favor once again.

However, after the First Army was deployed, they did not wait for the Third Army they thought of, but waited for the troops of the Su Empire! The Su Empire was very dissatisfied with the hostile and provocative behavior of the Dongning Army! Facing the Su Empire army coming out of Beimozhou, Cheng Jun was at a loss for a moment. Where was the promised Third Army?

Just when everyone was guessing wildly, Guo Tianyun and his three legions appeared!

No one expected that Sanjuntian, who had been searched for for many days, had actually moved from Beimozhou to Jijiang Province and from Jijiang Province to the city of Fengtian!

Xu Yan, who was far away on the Lao La River, couldn't sit still when he heard the news! How could Fengtian resist the Third Army? He was more worried about Hu Ruoxue's family in the city. What should we do in this chaotic situation?

At this moment, a very subtle atmosphere was surging in the 122nd Group.

Technically they belonged to the Third Corps, but Corps Commander Guo threw them into the Laola River like garbage!

Xu Yan knew very well that the current situation was critical, and he never supported Guo Tianyun's approach! Although the team he led was not worth mentioning in the face of the Third Legion, it was not the time to consider personal gains and losses in this critical moment.

"Captain, what should we do?" Deputy Commander Wang Zhuguo said with a look of disappointment. They have been trapped by the river for a week and their supplies have been cut off. If things continue like this, the only way out for them is surrender. They have also thought about attacking, but knowing that there is no hope for reinforcement, what's the point of rushing through the defense line in front of them? What effect can a regiment of troops have?

"Deputy Captain Wang is in a bad mood?" Xu Yan raised his eyebrows.

Suddenly Xu Yan said in a deep voice: "You are not disappointed because Guo Tianyun rebelled without you!"

Wang Zhuguo was suddenly shocked when he heard Xu Yan's words! He reacted immediately in his heart. This was not the time to be disappointed. They belonged to the Third Army and were suspected of rebellion! The most important thing to do at this time was to draw a clear line with the Third Army! How could brothers of the Dongning Army turn their swords against each other! Or rebel against the old commander! The Dongning Army all depended on the Yunlin commander for their livelihood! Thinking of this, Wang Zhuguo quickly stood up and said:

"Captain, I deserve to die! I was blinded by greed for a moment. Fortunately, you reminded me and I know I was wrong!"

"It's good that you admit your mistake! Since Guo Tianyun rebelled, he is no longer a member of the Dongning Army! His actions will only make his relatives sad and his enemies happy! It will only cause the Dongning Army to fall apart and the people to fall into war again! Everyone, I hope that each of you can recognize your own identity and know where you stand! I, Xu Yan, don't have any ambitions. I just hope that my family and your families can be spared from the war! I can bring my brothers back to Fengtian to reunite with my family!" Xu Yan shouted to everyone present.

At this moment Fang Tianlong ran in and said excitedly: "Report to the commander, the enemy troops on the opposite side have retreated!"
