So what interests led these three companies to start military operations against the Northwest Army at the same time?
The first is Lao Maozi. Japan promised that the three parties will launch an attack on the Northwest Army together. When Zhang Yunhan is eliminated, the area occupied by Lao Maozi will be owned by Lao Maozi, and Japan will recognize its legitimacy. And Lao Maozi happened to value the Western Regions and Mongolia. With such a big piece of cake in front of him, and it was a joint attack by three companies, the benefits far outweighed the risks.
It just so happens that the T26 developed by Lao Maozi is equipping the troops, so its performance can be verified in this war.
As for Chang Kaishen, Japan made a statement that by eliminating Zhang Yunhan, they only wanted Rehe Chahar, gave up the concession, and provided loan technical support to the Jinling government.
Chang Kaishen had always dreamed of annihilating Zhang Yunhan. Now, for such a big plan, wouldn’t it be wonderful if the three parties joined forces? Moreover, during the war, Chang Kaishen could use his own means to integrate the opposition voices within the National Congress Party and consolidate power. concentrated.
When all the forces are unified and Japan is defeated, he will be famous in history!
Looking at Japan, the world economy is currently in a sluggish stage, and if we want to shift the contradiction away, we must launch a war. Strategically, Japan is unwilling to see the Northwest Army continue to grow, because the current Northwest Army is already so difficult to deal with, so in the future, when Zhang Yunhan develops more and more, Japan will never be its opponent.
What's more, judging from the news in China, the Northwest Autonomous Government is extremely rich and has tanks and artillery. The Japanese are very envious of it.
Of course, with the three companies carving up the Northwest Army, it was impossible for the Japanese to just do it so blatantly and place a certain amount of military orders each with Bald Eagle and John Bull. During the Great Depression, someone placed an order. This was very important to these two countries. It is definitely a great gift for a Western power.
At this time, Western countries were actively coping with the Great Depression and had no regard for the East, let alone the prevalence of the idea of bald eagle neutrality.
In this way, Araki Sadao's plan was successfully implemented under the temptation of compromise and interests of all parties.
Lao Maozi sent troops from the Western Regions and Mongolia, Japan attacked from Rehe, and Chang Kaishen launched a military attack on the Northwest Army from the Central Plains and the Two Lakes area.
The scale is large and the lineup is strong, reaching max after the end of World War I.

Sarina is a beautiful grassland girl. She has lived with her grandfather on the boundless grassland since she was sensible.
The young men in the nearby prairie all call Sarina the most beautiful flower on the grassland. Recently, the young men are gearing up to show off their talents in the horse racing competition in half a month to capture the heart of this flower of the prairie.
This morning, Sarina rode her beloved pony as usual and drove the sheep to the edge of the pasture with several sisters to graze them. When they drove the sheep to a place with abundant pasture, they got off the horse and grazed them together. Take a walk around.
Wild flowers bloomed all over the mountains and plains, and the grassland seemed to be garlanded with flowers. Sarina believed that there was no place more beautiful than the grassland in the world. The sky here is so blue, the grass is so green, and the people here are so simple...
While Sarina and her sisters were having fun picking wild flowers, a sharp-eyed little sister suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Huh? What is that?"
"I know!! That's a car, a Russian car!! I saw it outside the prince's palace, and I heard that it was a gift from the Russians to the prince."
"Why do the Russians keep driving cars to our grasslands? Do they want to trade cattle and sheep with us? This is not possible. I heard that those kind of cars need a kind of black kerosene to run, but we don't have it here." Another girl said in confusion.
While several sisters were talking, one of the leading trucks came in front of them.
The truck stopped not far from them, the door opened, and a handsome Russian young man jumped out of the car with fair skin, big eyes, a deep look, thick and long eyebrows, and a pronounced chin.
He was wearing a green military uniform that the little sisters had seen outside the palace, and a steel helmet on his head.
After the young man got out of the car, he walked towards the girls and showed his white teeth at the girls.
"Oh, hello, beautiful ladies, is Prince Dreger's palace in front?"
When the handsome young man asked for directions in his stumbling Chinese, all the girls present secretly laughed at the vanguard of the furry bears.
"Hello, guest from afar." Sarina answered generously in Chinese, which although she was not very proficient in it, was obviously much better than this Russian guy who was proficient in Chinese.
Sarina didn't know yet that this "guest" was not a good person. They came here first to put King Dreger under house arrest. Because, although it was confirmed with Japan to send troops, the agreement stated that the Russian army would occupy as many troops as possible. How could Big Beard let go of this opportunity?
Isn’t this how Mongolia came to be?
"Hello, I didn't expect you Russians to actually speak Chinese." Sarina's Chinese proficiency, coupled with her clear smile and beautiful appearance, made the soldier unable to recover.
"Hello?"
"Oh, hello, miss."
"My name is Sarina, not a young lady. What's your name?" Sarina asked curiously.
"Um, my name is Gwov (brother, I will take my name and name him Little Genius)."
"Are you going to Prince Dreger's Mansion?"
"Oh yes, miss."
Sarina covered her mouth and chuckled. It was really funny that this old man was tiptoeing, but it would be great to be a young lady, without having to worry about food and clothing.
"The palace is right in front. It's about thirty miles away from here over this mountain ridge."
"Why are you going to the palace?" Sarina asked curiously.
"Oh, we are here to lead the Mongolian people out of poverty. Our political commissar has said that we will lead you to independence."
"What independence? We live a good life, what are you talking about?"
Sarina was a little angry. Maybe when the Japanese invaded Chahar last year, the life of the grassland people was indeed very poor.
But since the Northwest Autonomous Government invaded Chahar, many industrial products from the northwest have been transported to Inner Mongolia. People can exchange cattle and sheep for practical items from the northwest government, and their lives have become much better. Coupled with the fact that the Japanese were driven out, life has returned to its previous calm.
And there are usually convoys going to Duolun and Zhangjiakou. Do they need to be independent? What to do independently?
The Russian soldier was said to be at a loss, looked at such a beautiful Sarina, and finally ran back to continue leading the way.
Gwolf sat in the car, holding the steel gun in his hand tightly. He swore that when their great fur bear brought benefits to these grassland herders, they would thank him, and he could confess his love to this beautiful lady.
