Kenji Yoshizawa took a few minutes to sort out the instrument, and then did not go directly to meet Lu Zhengxiang. He intuition told him that the Chinese Foreign Minister’s Minister is said to be the confidant of the iron-fisted president. Today he came solemnly, I am afraid that the visitor would be unkind!

When he came to his office, Sasa Oemon Nakasa, the military officer in charge of the Kyoaka region's intelligence collection in the Japanese consulate, had already arrived there.

"Mr. I'm afraid there's a big problem!"

Sasaki Oemon Nakasa expressed his serious expression, "The Minister of Foreign Affairs came in person, but we did not receive any news. We just tried to contact the inside line of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but found that we could not contact at all. Not only the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could not contact, but the Ministry of Army... All the spies we installed in the State Council lost contact. Just now, the Central Guard had heard from the Central Guard that before dawn, someone took the orders of the Ministry of Army and the General Staff and transferred the soldiers of two regiments. News also came from the train station. Just half an hour ago, the army suddenly took over the train station. At present, all trains were strictly prohibited from stopping within the four stations in Xi'an, except for the trains that had been sent... "

Yoshizawa Kenji walked around with a frown, "Sasaki Jun, what do you mean?"

"The people who came here are not good. Judging from the information we intercepted in the past month, the war is likely to come!" Sasao Yuemon's face was gloomy. The Republic of China is no longer as before. He has been trained by Japanese intelligence giant Sakashirakiro in Beijing Sakashiraki Mansion in 12 years. Over the years, he has witnessed how the intelligence network that Japan has worked hard for many years has been destroyed in China bit by bit. In the past few years, his mentor Sakashirakiro died, and his classmates Too, Fetus, and Kenji Hara, who was trained with him, died, and more Japanese intelligence personnel died in China. According to the intelligence they have, in the past five years, 372 Japanese people have died unexpectedly in China, of which 341 have been confirmed to be employed by the Army, Kanto Prefecture, or the Governor of the North or the General Staff.

Although Japan has repeatedly retaliated against and executed a large number of Chinese agents, it cannot make up for the severe blow that Japan has suffered from its construction of intelligence networks in China for many years. There is also a fact of equity participation in the Republic of China. The Republic of China has established a complete anti-intervention intelligence team, and Japan's intelligence work in China is becoming increasingly difficult.

Sasaki Iemon's words were consistent with the uneasiness in Toyoshi Yoshizawa's heart, but he was not willing to make such a judgment easily, because he could not know the meaning it represented.

"I hope I won't get to this point!" He felt unconfident, "Sasaki Jun, you should contact Shanghai and Tianjin immediately, and send a telegram to the country to ask about the follow-up treatment of Man and Meng... Let me meet the president's confidant!"

"Hayi!"

"Have a telegraph ready at any time, if... I hope the country can get our warning as soon as possible!"

"Hayi!"

When Kenji Yoshizawa led his secretary and translator to the living room, Chinese Foreign Minister Lu Zhengxiang sat there expressionlessly. Seeing that the Japanese envoy was coming, Lu Zhengxiang stood up and forced a smile out of his face, but it was very ugly.

Kenji Yoshizawa felt a deep heart. He and Lu Zhengxiang were of the same kind. They were both pure civil servants. Usually when they negotiated on behalf of one force, they still admired each other. If it weren't for the increasing hostility between the people and the top leaders in recent years, they might have thought that they could have established friendship.

"Mr. Lu, you came to my consulate early in the morning. I'm afraid there are important matters to communicate with me!" Although Kiyoshi Fangze still maintained a kind of demeanor despite his concern.

"Mr. Minister!" Lu Zhengxiang replied expressionlessly, "I'm really sorry for coming to disturb you in the early morning. However, this visit involves important matters between our countries. The President repeatedly reminded me, but I had to come and disturb you!"

Kenji Yoshizawa politely shook hands with Lu Zhengxiang and his entourage and greeted him, and then quickly turned to the topic. In order to maintain a calm image, his question was raised in Japanese, and he translated it into Chinese through translation, and Wu Tingfang also formally answered his question in Chinese, and translated it into Japanese through translation.

"Oh, then I don't know what the hell is?"

"Mr. Minister, I am here to submit a letter of nationality to the Minister under the order of the Supreme Commander of His Excellency of the President of our country. After investigation by our government, the Japanese Taiwan colonial authorities involved disregarding life and death of our Chinese compatriots on the island during the flu epidemic last year, causing tens of thousands of Chinese to die and suffer from illness. In the chaos on the Korean Peninsula in March this year, the Japanese Korean colonial authorities were involved in massacre and looting 17 citizens of the Republic of China, causing their property to be lost to more than 7,000 yuan. In the past three years, the navy of the Japanese Empire has sunk many times, sinking or illegally seizing our fishing boats and merchant ships, causing our country to lose more than one million. At the same time, the Japanese Empire also openly sent troops to infiltrate our country a month ago and blow up important military transportation facilities in our country."

"My country has repeatedly filed solemn protests to the Japanese Empire. After many unsuccessful negotiations with the Japanese Empire, according to Article 3, Article 17, Article 51, Article 174, Article 5 of the National Defense Law, Article 12 of the National Defense Law, Article 39 of the National Defense Law. President Li Han, the Supreme Commander of my country, made a decision to convene an emergency cabinet meeting and make it. From 6 a.m. on April 20, 1919, the Republic of China officially suspended diplomatic relations with the Japanese Empire.

Entering a state of war. An expulsion order was issued to all Japanese diplomats in China, which was restricted from leaving our country within 72 hours. All Japanese immigrants in my country must also leave our country within 72 hours. Once the time limit is exceeded, it will be difficult for our government to ensure the safety of the lives and property of these immigrants. This is the letter of state, please accept it. Mr. Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the State Council have sent representatives to inform all ambassadors in China for the decision of our government!”

Lu Zhengxiang's words fell heavily on Fangze Qianji's heart like a heavy hammer, making his breathing suddenly become heavy, and his eyes suddenly turned black and almost fainted.

He knew that everything was over, his future and peace in the Far East. The two most powerful countries in Asia were heading for war and teams. Not only would the situation in the Far East be completely chaotic, but this place that briefly won the title of the safest region in the world will also follow in Europe and move towards the war.

The country under his feet is different from what he knew in the past. Yes, since the Revolution of 1911, this country has developed too fast and has risen too fast. Now, it has the strength to fight Japan. After this battle begins, even if Japan wins, it may have won a terrible victory. It is impossible to say that Japan will end up after the Japanese-Deer War. The entire empire was burdened with a heavy package. It took more than ten years to use the ride-sharing of the European War to be freed.

And from now on, there will probably be no such good opportunity.

etc……

His head was filled with a slight slight sensation, and suddenly he recalled a sentence he had neglected.

"From 6:00 a.m. on April 20, 1919, the Republic of China and the Japanese Empire officially terminated diplomatic relations and entered a state of war..."

He finally remembered what he was neglecting. He tried hard to look at the mechanical clock in a corner of the living room. This time of war had suddenly become a past tense.

"So, the war has broken out?" Yoshizawa Kenji had a gloomy face, his voice was very cold, and he no longer deliberately pretended to be a politician's smile.

Lu Zhengxiang did not reply, but still maintained that posture, holding the letter of the country in his hand without moving, as if he was a wooden man!

"Very good. Please tell the President of the Republic of China that as a diplomat of the Great Japanese Empire in China, on behalf of my Great Japanese Empire, I will accept your letter of state. From today on the basis of today, you and our countries are officially in a state of war. If President Lu is fine, please leave. You and our countries are in a war. Please forgive me for offending you and will not be welcome!"

Kenji Yoshizawa looked at him coldly, snorted and made a gesture of seeing off guests, then walked out of the reception room first and went to the telegraph office, hoping to send the news back to the country as soon as possible.

He had an ominous premonition. Although he did not believe it, judging from the time when the Chinese submitted their national certificates, they were likely to have fought undeclared before and caught Japan off guard. Although he was very confident in the empire, he also knew that now was not the time to have confidence. What should be prepared for it must be done!

Lu Zhengxiang looked at Kiyoshi Yoshizawa and sighed deeply in his heart. After a few Japanese people in the Japanese consulate had left the Japanese consulate with cold expressions and even hostile eyes, they started the car and rushed to the parliament.

He did not want a war between China and Japan, especially between these two countries. China is a little weaker, and its comprehensive national strength and military strength are not as good as Japan. However, the president said one thing very well. The Far East is too small. In this small area, there are three powerful countries that are determined to become regional overlords, and there are also powerful countries such as Britain, France, and the United States that are also crowded in and stared in.

This unique situation determines that the chaos in the Far East will never be worse than that of the Balkans, which are known as the European powder keg.

The Sino-Japanese War in 1895, the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, the Sino-Japanese conflict in 1914, and the Sino-Japanese War in 1916 were all the best names. In the past, the Republic of China had already lost much to Japan and Russia under the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty. To rise and return to the forest of powerful countries, we must step on the bodies of Japan and Russia.

After the Sino-Russian War in 1916, the revolutionary order that broke out in Russia did not need to worry about this great enemy in a short period of time. Then the only enemy left was Japan.

This is a war that determines the destiny of the country. Once the Republic of China defeats Japan, the Republic of China will be able to return to the world's powerful countries. Even if it becomes the overlord of the Far East, it is not impossible!

So this battle must be fought!
Chapter completed!
