Consulate General of Japan in Qingdao.

Consul General Ken Ikawahara and Lieutenant General Military Attache Takashi Sakai led the military council to hold a military meeting.

"Generals, do you think that this group of people really has the courage to invade the Shandong border? Do we need to mobilize troops to fortify Linyi?" asked Ikawahara Ken.

"Your Excellency Consul, I don't think it's necessary at all! Based on what I know about the Chinese people, what they are best at is killing each other for turf, and this time they are nominally trying to attack Shandong, but in fact they are a tool for their internal struggle! Presumably, they absolutely do not dare to be the enemy of our Great Japanese Empire! Moreover, it is impossible for them to defeat us with just a small army! We can fight three infantry divisions with one infantry division!" Sakai Takashi said proudly.

"Your Excellency, since the situation is so clear, I propose to send an envoy to Jiangsu to help them defeat the Protector Army, so as to obtain the privileges of our Empire of Japan in Jiangsu Province, and if possible, to connect the Jiaodong Railway with the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, so that we can make a great economic contribution to the Empire of Japan!" suggested Vice-Consul Jiro Ohara.

"I think this method is feasible, and if we can further expand our influence to Jiangsu Province, it will be more convenient for us to carry out our invasion plan!

Ikawahara Ken clapped the decision, and everyone raised their hands to vote.

And sent Kazuo Yama Nobu as a special envoy to visit Jiangsu.

...

Nanjing Public Office, Jiangsu Province.

It just so happened that Qi Xieyuan and Li Chun were there, and Kazuo Yama came to visit.

"The two overseers, the Protector Army, in the name of attacking Shandong, forcibly borrowed Jiangsu, if they suddenly attack, can you still hold Jiangsu? Our Imperial Japanese Empire can provide military and economic help to your army!" said Yamanobu Kazuo bluntly.

"The affairs of the countrymen, I won't bother you to interfere with the minister, please go back. Li Chun refused coldly.

Although he is also an old-style warlord, he does not want to cooperate with the Japanese and become a traitor.

"Brother Li, don't be impatient, I think let's listen to the conditions first, Your Excellency the minister, tell me what kind of help you Japan can provide to our army, and what kind of price do we need to pay?"

Qi Xieyuan's attitude is completely different, as long as he is driven by interests, no matter who he is, he can conspire with him.

"You can set up an ambush for the Protector Army, wait for you to fight, if you can't win the battle, we can transfer troops from Shandong to help you defeat the Protector Army! Go all the way south and swallow the damage of the Protector Army! Even I know that you are the leader of the direct faction, but you are subservient, if you can cooperate deeply with our Great Japanese Empire, we can help you become the leader of the direct line!

Duan Qirui of the Anhui family has received our financial support to achieve today's development! After the completion of this deed, I would like to ask you to guarantee the special rights and interests of our Great Japanese Empire in Jiangsu!"

Kazuo Yama made a bid, which was not painful, but in essence, it was still to let the direct army fight with the Protector Army first, and the Japanese army could take advantage of the fisherman.

But if the Protector Army really wants to capture Jiangsu Province, it will be very defensive to let them enter the territory!

"Your Excellency, let us think about it again, we will set up an ambush and prepare for a defensive battle, if there is a war crisis, please send troops to help you in time!"

Qi Xieyuan's words are equivalent to buying an insurance, if the Protector Army does not attack Jiangsu, or attacks Jiangsu but can hold it, there is no need for the Japanese to intervene, but if it can't be defeated, it will be lost to Jiangsu, it is better to promise benefits to Japan, in exchange for being able to continue to be the emperor of Jiangsu soil.

"I'll go back and convey the meaning of the Overseer, farewell!" Yamashin Kazuo left, still unhappy in his heart, and scolded the Chinese man for being too cunning!

"Brother Qi, if you let the Japanese

help us drive away the Protector Army, I'm afraid you are seeking skin with the tiger!" Li Chun's face was obviously displeased, he was now regarded as a grasshopper on the same rope as Qi Xieyuan, if he really relied on the Japanese to hold Jiangsu, then he would also be treated as a traitor!

"Then you can only hope that the Protector Army really has no plans against me in Jiangsu! When they enter the border of Jiangsu, you can take your headquarters to meet them, and I will personally set up an ambush in the rear!"

“....."

Nobu Yamago drove away, and on the inconspicuous street, a young man selling newspapers immediately turned around and disappeared after witnessing all this.

Qingpu Headquarters.

Zhou Chaowu received an urgent fax from Wang Yaqiao.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received news that Japan has sent a special envoy to hold talks with high-level officials of Jiangsu Province at the Nanjing Public Office, and it seems that the Japanese are also convinced that we only want to swallow Jiangsu! Moreover, they are even more arrogant and greedy than I thought, and not only do they not deploy defenses in Shandong, but they also want to steal their own interests in Jiangsu Province by taking advantage of this!"

Zhou Chaowu told everyone the news he had just received!

"This group of dogs is really not a good thing, they want to be traitors! I have to arrest them and parade them in the streets!" Ye Ting said angrily.

"Wu Shuai, see if you can telegraph the Yanjing government and warn Japan not to meddle in China's internal affairs through them!" Fu Zuoyi asked.

Zhou Chaowu shook his head, counting on Duan Qirui? That's wearing the same pants as the Japanese! I still have to rely on myself!

A fierce plot flashed in his eyes, "If they want to betray the country, then we will sell more ruthlessly than them!".
