Beiyang 1917

"Take back Outer Mongolia?!" The Prime Minister and the Undersecretary of the Army both shouted!During the Revolution of [-], Outer Mongolia declared independence at the instigation of Tsarist Russia. Although the independence and self-government was later abolished, it was actually completely reduced to a puppet of Tsarist Russia. It is the responsibility of every democratic person to regain Outer Mongolia. However, Tsarist Russia’s military forces in Outer Mongolia Existence makes it impossible for China to throw rats.

In Wang Geng’s previous life, Outer Mongolia had to wait two years before Xu Shuzheng sent troops to take it back. Now it’s only October 2, and Wang Geng has already planned to take back Outer Mongolia?Of course, the Mongolian army is vulnerable, but what if it conflicts with Lao Maozi?Lao Duan and Xu Shuzheng looked at each other, speechless for a while!

"Prime Minister, Brother Youzheng, the best time to recover Outer Mongolia may not be now, but the situation in Russia is so turbulent, it is better to take the initiative than to wait passively. When the Kerensky government falls, the small party and the Red Guards will be in danger. If you want to start a revolution, Outer Mongolia will move closer to our central government for self-protection. If you just take Outer Mongolia, you don’t need to be so anxious. Outer Mongolia will cancel its autonomy and return to the motherland sooner or later. I just want to buy time. Build the railway to Lake Baikal!"

Wang Geng squinted his eyes to look at Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng, then drew an arrow from Kulun to the north-east direction and inserted it into the direction of Baikalhu in Siberia, and continued,

"The railway line from Kulun to the north only needs to be 300 kilometers away to reach the Trans-Siberian Railway. If we recover Kulun this year, we will be able to build the thousand-mile road in Outer Mongolia by the end of next year at the latest!"

"Wang Geng, what exactly do you want to do?" Xu Shuzheng was stunned by Wang Geng's bold idea, while the Prime Minister frowned and lay down on the map with a magnifying glass to carefully look at the routes drawn by Wang Geng.

"I have to fulfill my promise to the Allied Powers! Repair the railway to Siberia and connect it to the Trans-Siberian Railway. Our Chinese expeditionary force will be transported directly from the Trans-Siberian Railway to the Russian battlefield on the Eastern Front to defeat the German-Austrian ambition wolf!" Wang Geng said with a smile. .

"Nonsense, I don't believe it! Hurry up and tell me the truth, have you set your sights on the old man's Siberia and the Far East? How dare you think!" Xu Shuzheng cried out!Even his own heart beat faster now.

Wang Geng's huge appetite made Xu Shuzheng gasp, hey, I just thought about taking back Outer Mongolia sooner or later, this guy who came back from West Point is good, our country has not yet been unified, he dares to think about Lao Maozi Parts of Siberia and the Far East!

"Wang Geng, it's okay to have too much appetite. China itself has not yet been unified, and industrialization will also be in its infancy. I'm afraid I can't compete with Lao Maozi at this moment. No, Lao Maozi is fighting on the Eastern Front. The loss of 100 million people is not a blink of an eye. As you said just now, the number of people demonstrating on the streets of Petrograd exceeds 100 million every day. Our population in Beijing is less than 150 million. The gap in strength is too great It's over! This battle can't be fought indiscriminately!"

Although Duan Qirui appreciates his future son-in-law's daring to think and act, Russia is feudal and backward, he is a European power that has completed initial industrialization, and is an important member of the Allied Powers. The war potential is much stronger than ours at the moment!I dare not fight recklessly in this battle!

"Prime Minister, brother Youzheng, don't worry, don't we plan ahead now? The situation in Russia is very delicate. If the minority of the little mentor comes to power, they may make peace with Germany and Austria, and then engage in such doctrines and struggles. At that time, there might be a conflict between China and Russia, and the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Japan of the Allied Powers will have to stand behind us and support us in fighting against Lao Maozi!" Wang Geng became the master of the prophet.

"Really?" Duan Qirui was a little skeptical, but Xu Shuzheng nodded slowly when he heard the words. At this moment, he had to admire Wang Geng's sensitivity to changes in international strategic trends, which originated in Germany. Doctrine and that little bald-headed Russian mentor may really mess up Russia. At that time, Britain, France and the United States will be beyond their reach, and China and Japan will really have to intervene in Russia's domestic situation.

"Prime Minister, brother Youzheng, the strategy of the participating army on the western front, I think that once the situation in Russia changes, Wu Peifu's third division will rush in to occupy Kulun and regain Outer Mongolia. Of course, we will let the patriotic Mongolian king and princess I wrote to the central government to request the abolition of self-government! Is this good?"

Although the presidential palace has a staff headquarters, that Wang Shizhen is also the chief of staff.But Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng let go of the responsibility of formulating the strategic plan to Wang Geng, the supervisor of the war. The strategic plan of the model army participating in the war is the strategic plan of the Ministry of the Army. He has gradually gotten used to letting Wang Geng and the staff headquarters of the participating army make plans and make decisions on their own for everything related to the participating army.

For Duan Qirui, the Prime Minister and Chief of the Army, it is not suspicious to employ people, but not to be suspicious. For Xu Shuzheng, Deputy Army Chief, he gradually accepted what he had agreed with Wang Geng at the beginning. Focusing on the military, he is committed to the division of labor between the administration and the Congress. The situation is stronger than anything else. At the moment when the participating army has 7 reorganized staff of nearly 25.

There is absolutely no need within the Anhui Clique to challenge Wang Geng’s control and authority over the participating troops, and no one can challenge this authority. Xu Shuzheng knows that each brigade commander of the participating army has a different radio call sign from the staff headquarters and Wang Geng himself. The password book, Wang Geng's headquarters can leapfrog the command of the participating troops at least to the regiment level!

The Anhui Department is no longer the era of the Four King Kongs, nor is it the era of the Warlords. The Anhui Department is now the era of the two kings, Wang Geng and Xu Shuzheng!In China, however, it was the era when Zhiwan and Anhui were one family. The southern party members themselves split into two factions in the parliament, participating in the war and opposing the war. Under the economic and financial aggression, in the past six months, it has not been stronger but weaker!

Xu Shuzheng's Anfu club, under the banner of supporting the cabinet and the prime minister, has become one of the most important forces in the parliamentary party group in the past six months. Liang Qichao and Tang Hualong's research departments have also become allies of the Anfu department after reorganization. The influence and number of people in the department are also increasing day by day, plus the faction in the parliament that supports the Southern Party that participated in the war, plus the compromise between the direct Anhui alliance reached by the acting president and the prime minister.

The political situation at home and abroad, like the domestic finances, is in an unprecedented relaxed and harmonious state. Except that the ministers of the great powers are always urging China to take actual actions to participate in the war, and except that little Japan is gradually getting a little restless, everything else looks beautiful.

"Wang Geng, since you are so confident, it would be best if Outer Mongolia can be taken back! How can the Ministry of Foreign Affairs cooperate? Anyway, you are also in charge of negotiating and supervising the five countries, so you can do it yourself!" the Prime Minister said to Wang. Geng's Western Front strategy was finalized.

"You just said the strategy on the western front, Wang Geng, do you have a new strategy on the eastern front?" Xu Shuzheng looked at the circles Wang Geng drew on the north bank of Heilongjiang, and said thoughtfully.

"The eastern route is really nerve-wracking!" Wang Geng frowned, and marked with a pencil on the Middle East Road and the South Manchuria Railway, and continued,

"If there is civil strife in Russia, if the little man comes to power, I boldly imagined that we have a chance to take back the Middle East Road without bloodshed, but if we are not ready, the old man may repent at that time, so we must be ready at any time. Mature, immediately accept the Middle East Road across the board!"

"Wang Geng, what do you mean when the time is ripe? Could it be that when the little man's mentor's political party comes to power, the old Maozi will take the initiative to return the Middle East Road to us if he loses his mind?" The Prime Minister couldn't help asking.

"It's not just the Middle East Road. If a new regime in Russia, I mean a new regime that completely subverts the current ruling system, comes to power, it may announce the abolition of all unequal treaties with foreign countries in the era of imperial Russia and Tsarist Russia!" Wang Geng's tone did not seem to be joking at all. .

Both Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng couldn't believe it. Naturally, Wang Geng knew that the little man in his previous life had twice announced the abolition of all unequal treaties signed between Tsarist Russia and China after he came to power. It's just that the Chinese didn't seize the opportunity. The little man passed away, and after the Georgian came to power, he completely overturned the original decision of the little man's mentor.

This time, as long as that little man announces the abolition of all unequal treaties between Tsarist Russia and China, damn, I won’t be finished if I don’t push the border to the line of the Nerchinsk Treaty!Wang Geng secretly thought.
