Shi Zhaoji, the first Chinese student to obtain a master's degree in the United States, was born in 1877.

He once followed Lu Zhengxiang to attend the Paris Peace Conference, and as a representative of China, he refused to sign the Paris Peace Conference.

After returning to China, I had a brief experience as acting as the head of the diplomatic chief.

He then served as the ambassador to abroad.

In 1929, he served as the Minister to England.

In 1931, Han Ling extended an olive branch to him in the name of the Beiping government.

He then agreed to Han Ling's solicitation and was recalled to China.

After being recalled to the country, Han Ling appointed him as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Until now.

Shi Zhaoji was a diplomat and a famous diplomat during the Republic of China period.

He has always been loyal to the Beiyang government.

Later he was loyal to Marshal Zhang.

After Zhang Dashuai died, he was loyal to Zhang Hanqing.

Later, after Zhang Hanqing changed his course, he was forced to be loyal to the Nanjing government.

When the Peking government and the Nanjing government both threw olive branches to him.

He chose the Peking government.

For him, the Peking Government had a special feeling in these four words, so he chose the Peking Government.

Today, he was summoned by the commander and it is said that there is something important.

Standing in Han Ling's office, he was waiting for Han Ling's arrival.

Han Ling came after a while.

This time, Han Ling walked in again wearing a military uniform of the commander of the three armies.

Usually, Han Ling only wears military uniforms unless he is on certain occasions.

Generally speaking, wearing military uniforms means that you have a serious business.

"Master!"

Seeing Han Ling walk in, Shi Zhaoji shouted.

"Well! Zhizhi, you can read this document first, and I will tell you after reading it!"

Han Ling didn't say anything at first, but handed a document to Shi Zhaoji.

Shi Zhaoji finished reading it later.

"Master! What do you want me to do?"

"Zhizhi, it's 1:30 noon now, and it's about three o'clock in the future. I want you to send a telegram to the Soviet government immediately, asking their troops to withdraw from the Chinese territory immediately, otherwise the Peking government would not mind using force!"

"I understand! I'll leave it to me!"

"kindness!"

At 3:00 p.m. on August 27, 1931, the Peking Government submitted a letter of protest to Ivanov, the Minister of the Soviet Government in Peking, demanding that their Soviet troops immediately withdraw from Chinese territory, otherwise the Pingyuan Army would take coercive measures!

Faced with the protest letter submitted by the Peking government, Ivanov was blinded.

Because he didn't know about this at all. The Central Asia Military Region sent three infantry divisions and 50,000 troops. This was completely what the Central Asia Military Region did on its own initiative, and later notified Moscow.

However, Moscow has not notified Ivanov now because they look down on China from the bottom of their hearts.

Do you think it's just sending troops into your territory? What's the big deal?

However, although Ivanov was unaware of the situation, he still said very tough on the spot: It is not the turn of the Peking government to accuse the Soviet Union and Russian troops.

And claim that if you want to threaten the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union will not be afraid of any threats.

After Ivanov finished speaking, he went back to send a telegram to the country and asked what was going on.

After a while, Ivanov understood what was going on.

It turned out that the Central Asia Military Region made its own decision and actually sent three infantry divisions back to Xinjiang.

Ivanov didn't say anything after he knew it.

In his opinion, isn’t it just entering the Xinjiang region?

If he entered India, he would definitely pay attention to it, but Ivanov didn't care if he entered China and returned to Xinjiang.

Unfortunately, he didn't know, because of their inattention, Han Ling felt deeply humiliated.

"Have Ivanov not replied yet?"

At this time, in Han Ling's office, he had a gloomy face.

Opposite him is Foreign Minister Shi Zhaoji and Secretary Fang Tu.

"not yet!"

"Well! Don't worry about this. Zijin, after you go down, you must transfer all kinds of military supplies to the front line as soon as possible!

We will fight this battle no matter what.

Now the newspaper is sent just to confuse the Soviets!"

Regarding whether to fight this battle, we must fight anyway.

Not fighting is not enough to calm public anger, and not fighting is not enough to boost national prestige.

So Han Ling decided on this battle.

Command Hall of the Military Headquarters of Xiyuan, Forbidden City, Peking

"Everyone, our troops have now begun to be fully mobilized.

Various military supplies have also begun to be transferred to Xining area.

But now the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line still lack a commander. After my research and decision, I decided to transfer Liu Klong, the Minister of the Operations Department, to the front line as the commander of the front line and be promoted to the rank of general.

In addition, Li Longke, the commander of the First Army, and Wang Qian, the commander of the Fourth Army, serve as deputy commander, assisting Liu Klong in command of the troops!"

"yes!"

Of course, the Peking government's large-scale military mobilization cannot be concealed by those who are interested.

For a time, many people were speculating on what to do with such a large-scale military mobilization in Peking.

Later, a news spread like wildfire.

That is, the Soviet Union interferes in the unification of China, and openly sends troops into the Huijiang area at the invitation of the traitor Sheng Shicai.

This incident caused an uproar when it was rumored in China.

Countless newspapers began to scold the Soviet government, and a certain force in Jiangxi immediately became a street rat, and everyone was scolded.

Under such circumstances, a newspaper under the control of the Peking government disclosed the news.

The Soviet government did not answer any response to the protests submitted by the Peking government, and seemed to have agreed to the actions of the Soviet Central Asian Military Region.

Under such circumstances, Han Ling decided to use the army to solve all problems.

Hundreds of thousands of troops of the Peking government began to gather in Qinghai, and it seemed that they were going to attack the Soviet Union from Xinjiang.

Moscow responded quickly about this matter.

It claimed that the Peking government was provoking first and that if a war was to be launched, they would be with them to the end.

So Moscow also began to increase its troops for the Central Asian Military Region.

The Central Asian Military Region of the Soviet Union is an inland military region. The soldiers here are originally poor in combat quality, and the soldiers inside are mainly soldiers such as reserves.

This military region is mainly the Soviet Union's reserve force military region.

Moreover, there are not many troops, only about 300,000 people.

As the war is about to begin, Moscow began to draw a total of 600,000 troops from the Ukrainian Military Region and the Belarusian Military Region to the Central Asia Military Region.

Since you want to fight, then you will get the result.

Han Ling's Office in West Garden, Forbidden City, Peking

"Report! The seventh telegram!"

"Pick it in!"

"yes!"

A major walked in and handed a telegram to Han Ling.

Han Ling looked at the telegram for a while before a smile appeared on his face.

"Come, call the Chief of Staff, the two deputy commanders and the Minister of Operations!"

"yes!"
