Ever since the recovery of the Middle East Road, Marshal Fengtian's Mansion has been beaming with joy. People who come out and in have smiles on their faces, even the servants at the bottom. The Marshal is in a surprisingly good mood these days, and he has appreciated a lot. Things are even more generous than the New Year's Eve, obviously to make everyone feel happy.

But today the joyous atmosphere disappeared. All the officials of Fengjun gathered in the Tiger Hall. Lao Zhang's face was also very ugly, and he kept smoking his pipe. The hall was filled with smoke, and there was a pungent smell. .

"The little devil made a witness and accused us of taking the initiative to provoke. What do you think we should do?"

The faces of the others were also very gloomy, and they couldn't find a good way. The Japanese suddenly held a press conference and introduced a Russian officer, Vasily. On the way, he suddenly jumped out and pointed out that the war was initiated by Fengjun, and the so-called majority party's rebellion was also an excuse, a lie woven by Fengjun in order to conspire to seize the Middle East Road.

If it was just this news, Fengtian would not be shocked. Now that the Middle East Road has fallen into the hands of Fengjun, it is nothing more than a lawsuit of saliva.But the Japanese's next statement was really shocking. Akajiri Masasuke declared that Fengjun conspired to attack the Russian army. As an ally of Russia, Japan was obliged to take military action to protect Russia's rights.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the friendship between the allies is fake, and it is true that they want to take the opportunity to seize the Middle East Road. The Japanese have already expanded their ambitions for the Northeast and want to expand their sphere of influence. Now the Japanese are using the banner of the alliance to reach out to The entire Northeast.

Faced with this situation, how should the Feng army respond? If the Japanese army really took military action, should the Feng army go to war with the Japanese?Whether the war can be won or not, a series of questions are placed in front of the top leaders of the Fengjun, and the big guys have to weigh it carefully.

"Damn it, what happened to Vasily? Didn't all the Russian officers have been killed? Didn't he just pop out from a crack in the ground?"

Zhang Jinghui complained repeatedly at the side, and Zhu Qinglan, chief of staff, said with a wry smile: "I have already investigated, and the problem lies with Yingshun. After Siri. Didn't kill, but hid."

"Why did he do this? Could it be that he wanted to kill Fengjun?"

"He is Manchurian, and we are not of the same mind at all. I think Yingshun wants to leave a way out for himself. He has a Russian military officer in his hand. Once the Russian army kills him, he can save his life."

Feng Jun has an inner ghost.Yingshun secretly hid Vasily, and when the Japanese contacted him, Yingshun secretly handed him over to the Japanese side, which was also the news that Wu Junsheng had just sent.

Zhang Zuolin's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and he spat out a few words between his teeth: "Full clean up the remnants, not a single one will be left behind!"

Old Zhang has completely moved to kill.Not only Yingshun, but also Ba Yinger and Bi Guifang, they are all Manchus, no matter how much trust is given to them.These people have their own little calculations, and it is impossible to be single-minded with Feng Jun. Such people must not be tolerated.

In addition to being dissatisfied with them, Lao Zhang also had thoughts about Wu Junsheng. Although Zhang Tinglan was in command of the Middle East Road, the incident happened in the Heilongjiang area. Live, it is more than failure.

"Marshal, Yingshun, Ba Ying'er and others must not stay, but we can't wait to see what's ahead. We still need to think about how to deal with the possible military actions of the Japanese. If the Japanese really send troops, should we confront them head-on? Huh?" Sun Liechen is still very clear-headed, it is necessary to pursue responsibility, but it is not the most urgent task, and it is still necessary to discuss how to overcome the current hurdle.

"Marshal, if we were a big power, we could still fight together, but now there is Russia in the north and Japan in the south. If the two countries attack together, we will be in a dire situation!" Zhang Jinghui said worriedly.

At this time, not only Zhang Jinghui, but also everyone else had the same idea. After all, Zhang Tinglan commanded the road guard army to defeat the Russians, which was far beyond everyone's estimation, but everyone present knew that Fengjun did not have two Zhang Tinglans. Moreover, the thriving Japanese are not comparable to Russia, whose country is in a mess.

Once the Japanese decide to use force, the situation of Fengjun is absolutely worrisome. Everyone looks at each other, but they can’t come up with any good ideas. Lao Zhang’s brain is also spinning rapidly. The threat of human force is real, right in front of our eyes.

Lao Zhang is also in an unprecedented predicament now, and Zhang Tinglan, who has always had the most ghost ideas, is not around. The others are not clear about international affairs, and they have a deep-rooted fear of foreign powers.

When old Zhang was thinking about it and had no idea, Yang Yuting rushed over from Jilin. He was also busy all the way. He was going to report to Zhang Zuolin about the situation on the Middle East Road, but when he got off the train, he got the news that the Japanese had already threatened him. Fengtian, ready to use force.

Yang Yuting immediately came to the Marshal's Mansion. After he arrived, Lao Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Yuting himself is resourceful, and to some extent, he also represents Zhang Tinglan. Now that Yang Yuting has rushed over, maybe he has an idea .

"Niger, the Japanese aimed their guns at our heads, what can you do?"

"Marshal, I came here just for this matter. I think we should make three-handed preparations now. First, firmly deny Vasily's accusation. Don't look at the Japanese who caught a witness, but when the war started, he was not there. In Harbin, his testimony can only show that there is no major party in the area under his control, and he cannot control other places, so we must refute it to the media!"

Yang Yuting said the first point, and the people present nodded frequently. This is indeed reasonable. The Japanese can't just say whatever they want, and Fengjun must also strive for the initiative of public opinion.

"The second point is that there can be peace only when there is a war. The future of the Fengjun is placed on the Middle East Road. If you don't control the railway in your own hands, it will be a dead end sooner or later. Therefore, the Fengjun must be ready to fight. We can defeat the Russians. , just like we can deal with the Japanese. Fengtian’s army is ready to transfer the road guards to Harbin. Don’t worry, as long as the war starts, we will snatch the railway between Fengtian and Changchun, so that the communication between Fengtian and the army will be smooth, and we will attack and retreat. It will be so much easier!"

In fact, Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting discussed ways to deal with various situations as early as the beginning of the attack on the Middle East Road.This included the situation where the Japanese sent troops. Zhang Tinglan proposed to take the lead in seizing the railway. Don't look at the Japanese's teeth and claws. They only have more than 1 troops stationed along the Middle East Road.

What's more, these people are scattered and deployed, and the Fengjun can destroy the Russians.It can also solve the Japanese, at least this attitude must be shown.What is important in war is to win first.You can't scare yourself before you start the action. The Japanese are very strong, but they are not without weaknesses. As long as you hit the snake seven inches, there is hope of defeating the enemy.

Yang Yuting said these two points.Just as Zhang Zuolin wanted, Zhang Zuolin nodded frequently, and then asked, "Lin Ge, what do you mean by the third hand?"

"Master. The first two moves are common strategies." Yang Yuting said with a smile: "The key lies in the third move. The Japanese came to Xingshi to ask their sins under the banner of helping the Russian allies. If the Russians refused to admit it, the Japanese would also There is no excuse, this is the mystery that it is better to draw fire from the bottom of the pot than to stop the boiling water!"

After Yang Yuting finished speaking, everyone present suddenly realized that this is indeed the best way, but after thinking about it, everyone was a little confused. The Russians were beaten up by Feng Jun. Can they still speak for Feng Jun? Is there such a cheap bone in the world?

Everyone shook their heads in disbelief, and so did Zhang Zuolin, who couldn't help but said, "Lingge, this idea is good, but the Russians won't agree!"

"Marshal, if you want to do this kind of thing, it depends on Zhuoyan's ability."

As soon as Zhang Tinglan was mentioned, everyone present couldn't help feeling a glimmer of hope. Zhang Tinglan had brought too many miracles to everyone, and it was his idea to take back the Middle East Road. Zhang Tinglan should have a complete set of coping strategies, and maybe he could really accomplish this. Incredible task.

"Marshal, Zhuoyan sent me a telegram and analyzed the ghosts of several powers. The Russians are not willing to lose the Middle East Road. The Japanese want to replace Russia and bring the railways under their control, and the British can't bear it. Seeing the expansion of Japan's power, they proposed joint management by the Allied Powers. It seems that the great powers have joined forces to exert pressure, but they have their own ulterior motives, and they are even more wary of each other than we are."

"Does Linge mean to control barbarians with barbarians?" Sun Liechen asked with a smile.

"Yes, as long as the Russians understand that it is better for us to control the Middle East Road than the Japanese control, they will not help the Japanese."

Using barbarians to control barbarians was a well-known slogan in the late Qing Dynasty. Li Hongzhang and other famous officials in the late Qing Dynasty followed this concept in conducting diplomacy, but they still lost more than they won. The reason for this is not that the policy was wrong, but that there was a problem with the operation. On the one hand, they did not understand the demands of the great powers and missed the key points, so this policy became invalid.

On the other hand, the strength is too weak and cannot be respected at all. No one is willing to make a profit for a piece of fat that can be given. Now Zhang Tinglan has found out the pulse of the great powers, and has proved the strength of the Fengjun through the war. This is the capital to leverage the current situation.

Lao Zhang accepted Yang Yuting's suggestion, and the entire three northeastern provinces immediately mobilized. On the one hand, he issued a statement, resolutely denying the Japanese accusation, and on the other hand, Lao Zhang mobilized all the troops.

The 27th Division led by Sun Liechen, as the most powerful unit of Fengjun, went out directly and hoarded it on the railway line between Fengtian and Luda, guarding against the Japanese army in the direction of Lushun.The newly reorganized 28th Division pointed directly at Fengtian's Manchurian subsidiary. At the first moment of the war, they eliminated the daggers that the Japanese put on Fengtian's neck, and then sent troops northward to defeat Fengtian and Changchun. Between the railway lines get in hand.

In addition, the garrison division on the Dongbian Road, the garrison along the Beijing-Fengfeng Railway, and the cavalry unit in Taonan were all mobilized, posing for a decisive battle with the Japanese.

In addition to the mobilization of the army, the people of the three eastern provinces have also been mobilized. The people of Fengtian are very clear that the big guy can have a good life now, it is all the result of Fengjun resisting the pressure of the Japanese and constantly implementing the New Deal. , if Fengjun falls, everyone will be finished too. Faced with this critical moment of life and death, the people of Fengtian stood by Fengjun without hesitation.

A horse convoy, a medical team, and a transportation team were formed in the city to provide logistical support for the Feng army, and the militiamen on the farms all over the country also took action, stepped up their drills, and were ready to join the battle at any time. Last year, the farm had a good harvest and had a lot of food. It's all concentrated now.

In addition to Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces also took action. In fact, on the vast black land, there was a general war mobilization, and the spearhead was the Japanese aggression and intimidation.

The three eastern provinces are full of people enthusiastically joining the army, and there are scenes of donating money and materials everywhere. The arsenal is also non-stop around the clock, constantly producing arms and supplies. When Akajiri Masasuke saw this scene, he was also shocked. The army's organizational ability is so strong, and it can make all the people unite as one, and the Japanese can't expect it. (To be continued..)
