Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

"What."

Hearing Zhang Hanqing's words, Ye Yunfei looked at him in surprise and said, "You said the Japanese wanted to occupy the Northeast."

"Han Qing, is this true? Where did you get this information?"

Zhang Hanqing said: "This news was sent back by my spies in the island country. You know, our Northeast is not far from the island country, and the island country has always had ideas about the Northeast. They have planted many spies in the Northeast, so I also planted some insiders in their island country to pass on information so that I can keep track of the situation in the island country at any time."

"This news was sent back by my insider in the island country. In addition, my radio station has also received intensive radio signals from the island country recently. After decoding, we found that they are all related to the Northeast."

"So, it should come as no surprise that the island nation may take action against the Northeast."

"I feel that the situation is urgent, so I came to discuss with you what to do."

Zhang Hanqing told everything he knew.

Moreover, Zhang Hanqing is obviously nervous now.

His army was invincible in the Republic of China.

There was no warlord in the Republic of China that could scare him.

It is precisely because of this that he has been able to dominate the Northeast for so many years without anyone posing a threat to him.

However, those who now have ideas about the Northeast are not the warlords of the Republic of China, but the Japanese devils.

The Japanese are different from the warlords. They are a country, and a very powerful country with top-notch equipment and combat capabilities.

Even though the Northeast Army is very powerful, it will certainly be unable to withstand the attack from the island country.

Now in the Republic of China, he has few people he can trust.

Ye Yunfei is his friend, and he and Ye Yunfei are also partners.

So, after receiving this news, I came to find Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei frowned.

In fact, after Zhang Hanqing finished speaking, he roughly understood the whole thing.

During the Republic of China period, the island countries' attack on the Republic of China did indeed start from the Northeast.

They first occupied the Northeast, then occupied North China, and then launched a fierce attack on Shanghai.

Step by step, it annexed most of the Republic of China.

After he took control of Shanghai, he drove all the Japanese devils out of Shanghai.

Moreover, he blocked the entire Shanghai and did not allow any islanders to enter Shanghai.

In today's Shanghai, not even a hair of the Japanese can fly into it.

Unless the island countries launch a fierce attack on Shanghai, they will not be able to get close to Shanghai.

Perhaps feeling that they had no chance in Shanghai, the Japanese turned their attention to the Northeast.

Want to occupy the Northeast first.

This is also normal.

Ye Yunfei looked at Zhang Hanqing and said, "Hanqing, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Hanqing lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he said, "Brother Ye, we are brothers and allies. I will tell you the truth."

"With the strength of our Northeast Army, we are absolutely unable to compete with the island nation. If the Japanese really attack the Northeast, we may not be able to hold out for even a week and will be completely wiped out."

"So, if a war really breaks out, I won't be able to defend the Northeast."

Ye Yunfei said: "So, you plan to withdraw from the Northeast and give it directly to the Japanese?"

Historically, the Northeast was indeed given directly to the Japanese invaders.

The Japanese occupied the Northeast without bloodshed, and then began to invade the entire Republic of China.

This is a heartbreaking tragedy.

What he wanted to know now was what Zhang Hanqing was thinking, whether he should retreat without fighting and give the Northeast to the Japanese.

Hearing Ye Yunfei's question, Zhang Hanqing lowered his head and said, "I don't know what to do. My mind is in a mess right now. Since I took charge of the Northeast, nothing this serious has ever happened."

"So, I don't know how to deal with this matter, so I came to you."

"Brother Ye, what do you think I should do?"

Ye Yunfei said: "The Northeast is your territory, I still want to hear your opinion."

"After all, I'm just an outsider, and your opinion is what matters most."

Zhang Hanqing said: "To be honest, I feel that the Northeast cannot be defended. Even if I risk all the resources of the Northeast Army and wipe out the entire Northeast Army, it will be useless."

"The gap between the Northeast Army and the Japanese is too big. Once a war breaks out, the whole army will be annihilated in the end."

"Therefore, if you defend it by force, you will only end up dead."

"So, I want to lead the Northeast Army and withdraw from the Northeast."

really.

Hearing Zhang Hanqing's answer, Ye Yunfei said in his heart.

Almost exactly the same as the historical one.

Zhang Hanqing wanted to withdraw from the Northeast and give it to the Japanese invaders.

Ye Yunfei said: "Han Qing, have you ever thought about this? Northeast China is your home. There are tens of millions of people there. If you retreat without fighting and give Northeast China to the Japanese, what will happen to those people?"

"Also, the Northeast is a vast territory, and it is also very important to the entire Republic of China. If we directly give such a large piece of land to the Japanese, the Republic of China will lose a large area of ​​territory."

“Have you thought about all this?”

Zhang Hanqing raised his head, stared at Ye Yunfei and said, "I have thought about it. Of course I have thought about it. I have thought about everything several times."

"But what can I do in this situation now?"

"Fight. Our Northeast Army cannot defeat the Japanese at all. As long as the war starts, our Northeast Army will definitely lose, and there is a high probability that the whole army will be wiped out."

"By then, even if we destroy our Northeast Army, the Japanese will still be able to occupy the Northeast."

"If we don't fight and we withdraw from Northeast China, the Japanese can still occupy Northeast China."

"So, whether we fight or not, the result will be the same. In the end, the Japanese will occupy the Northeast."

"With today's situation, why should I lose my troops in vain?"

"It would be better to withdraw the troops first, and then fight the Japanese later. Who knows, we might be able to take back Northeast China later."

Ye Yunfei shook his head and said, "Han Qing, you are too naive."

"I admit that what you said makes some sense. Your Northeast Army is no match for the Japanese devils. If you fight, there is a high probability that you will be defeated."

"But if we don't fight because we are afraid of failure, death, or total annihilation, Northeast China will become the territory of the Japanese."

"If we fight, there may be a glimmer of hope to keep the Northeast."

"If we don't fight, we won't have any chance. We can only watch helplessly as the Japanese invaders occupy the Northeast, exploit the people of the Northeast, and invade the territory of the Republic of China."

"Also, Han Qing, have you ever considered public opinion? Have you ever considered how people in the future would judge you if you directly withdrew from Northeast China and gave it to the Japanese invaders..."
