As the saying goes, when the direct line takes control of the Beijing government, Cao Kun has also become ambitious, and he is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the current patrol position. If he can be promoted one step further and become the coveted president, then he will It's the work of a great hero!

For this reason, Cao Kun sent a special telegram, inviting Wu Peifu, the first cadre general, to Beijing to ask his opinion. As soon as he met Cao Kun, he smiled and said: "Ziyu, although there have been wars between the north and the south in the past two years, the country is still peaceful. , Our military force is getting stronger and stronger, much stronger than the old Duan back then, and the time is ripe for taking power, Xu Shichang is just an old bastard, what are we going to do with him!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Peifu frowned: "Marshal, do you intend to replace Xu Shichang as the President?"

Cao Kun smiled noncommittally: "Ziyu, what do you think?"

"Absolutely not!" Wu Peifu quickly waved his hand: "Marshal, although the position of the president is not enough, you must not sit on it, otherwise you will only cause big trouble."

When Cao Kun heard this, his expression became a little unsettled, and he said with a bluffing face: "Ziyu, I know what you mean, it's nothing more than worrying about the Fengjun. They are indeed powerful, but now the main force of the Fengjun is fighting the Russians. Mussels fighting each other is definitely a situation where both losers. Moreover, Russia is so big that Fengjun has no ability to swallow it all at once. In the future, the two sides will become enemies, and they will inevitably confront each other. , we have nothing to fear!"

Wu Peifu smiled wryly and shook his head. If he hadn't been to Borja, maybe he would have thought the same thing, but after going there, Wu Peifu's understanding of Fengjun had undergone earth-shaking changes, and the two were not of the same order of magnitude at all.Even if Fengjun couldn't send the main force to enter the pass, just a partial division would be enough to cause Beiyang a headache.

"Marshal, it's not that I intend to hurt the morale of our army, but the most important thing right now is to organize the army, and my subordinates have compiled a summary of Fengtian's administration over the years. I want to learn from it and implement social reforms and military affairs. Reform, catch up with Fengjun as soon as possible."

reform?Upon hearing these two words, Cao Kun’s mind was filled with question marks: “Ziyu. What are you doing? Isn’t it the Republic of China now? what?"

"Marshal. These are all superficial articles. Fengjun has been engaged in immigration in recent years. The farm system has been implemented, and the tiller has basically achieved the land. The common people join the army to fight for their livelihood, but to keep their land. With this idea, with a little training and guidance, they can fight to the death for the country, and the willpower of the army is far from what our army can match. I think this method is very good."

The more Cao Kun listened, the more surprised he became, with angry expressions on his face, the two teams stared at Wu Peifu, shaking their heads: "Ziyu, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible, the tiller has his land, it's easy to say , but that is a matter of stealing meat from others. No one has ever done it before. When Zhang Juzheng practiced a whip method, he lost his reputation. We must not repeat the same mistakes."

Wu Peifu immediately became displeased: "Commander, if Fengjun can do it, why can't we do it? This is the only way to strengthen the army and enrich the people. No matter how difficult it is, we should continue to do it."

Cao Kun was also enraged by Wu Peifu's attitude. He stood up abruptly, stomped his feet fiercely, and said, "Ziyu, let's say this from the bottom of our hearts, do you want everyone under your command to oppose you and become a poor commander?" ?”

Wu Peifu also became silent immediately. There are vast vacant land in the three eastern provinces, but he does not have it in his hands. However, in the Beiyang government, whether it is a military leader or a bureaucrat, they are basically fat-headed, rich in family wealth, and active. The land is their lifeblood, and the difficulty can be imagined, and Wu Peifu was also a little frustrated.

Cao Kun did not speak, but took a document and sent it to Wu Peifu.

"Ziyu, stop thinking about those useless things. Just two days ago, Russia sent a special representative named Yuefei. He promised to give up support for Outer Mongolia in exchange for reconciliation between the two countries and an end to the war!"

"Dreaming!" Wu Peifu immediately raised his brows: "Marshal, how can you agree to such a request? Outer Mongolia has long been under the control of China, so you can't take our things as gifts?"

"Ziyu, I think it's a bit absurd, but if you think about it from another angle, there's nothing wrong with resuming relations with Russia. It's Fengjun's business to start a war with them..."

Before Cao Kun finished speaking, Wu Peifu suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Recovering the homeland is a matter for all Chinese people. Even if they can't help directly, they can't be a hindrance, and they can't be the scum of the nation. That Russian shit The representatives drove away immediately. If they wanted to talk, they would send special representatives for peace talks to discuss the return of the outer northeast.”

After Wu Peifu finished speaking, regardless of Cao Kun's attitude, he turned and left. He didn't stay in Beijing at all, and returned directly to Luoyang.

Cao Kun didn't expect that his plan would be opposed by Wu Peifu, so he could only sulk.As for the Russian representative, Joffe was expelled from Beijing, but this guy did not give up completely.The Russians are well aware of China's situation. This is a divided country. As long as they can win over some forces that support Russia, they can contain the Feng army and disrupt the morale of the Chinese army.

After thinking about it, Yue Fei went south to Guangzhou to meet Sun Wen after leaving Beijing.After he arrived in Guangzhou, he received a warm welcome. All the important members of Sun Wen and his subordinates met with him, and the two sides talked very speculatively.

"Dr. Sun Yat-sen, both Russia and China are facing the oppression of international imperialism and suffering. The two countries should understand and help each other. However, some forces in China are openly fighting Russia with the support of imperialism. It caused huge losses to both parties, which should not be done."

Sun Wen also smiled: "I also agree with Mr. Yue Fei's opinion. Russia is the only country in the world that treats me equally. However, the territorial disputes between the two sides cannot be ignored, especially issues such as Outer Mongolia. Russia must also respect China's Opinion!"

Sun Wen and Yue Fei talked continuously for several days, and finally reached a series of consensus, and then the two published the "Sun Wen and Yue Fei Joint Declaration" in Shanghai's "Continent News" in English. Waves, public opinion uproar.

"Dapao Sun, you bastard!" The generals of the Feng army, who were actively planning the battle at the front line, immediately exploded with rage after seeing this declaration.

Sun Anhu took the lead and said: "Commander, we are fighting bloody battles with the Russians ahead, but Sun Dapao actually signed some kind of declaration with the Russians. Does he want to recognize another foreign father?"

Yang Yuting sneered and said, "Sun Wen's subordinates are just a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Even if they collude with the Russians, how much trouble can they cause. It's just that he comes out to disgust us at this time. He can't be killed!"

Jiang Fangzhen frowned: "Lin Ge, you can't underestimate Sun Wen. After all, he still has a lot of influence in the south. What declaration he made at this time will also be a blow to the morale of the people."

Everyone was talking about it, but Zhang Tinglan remained silent. As the saying goes, what should come will always come. I thought that the Feng army sent troops to Russia, and the people of the country could clearly see the true nature of this red empire.But obviously Zhang Tinglan underestimated the thirst of Sun Wen's family for external power. In the year of [-], he was able to sell the three eastern provinces to the Japanese and the south of the Yangtze River to the British, and it is no exception now.

It's just that after this alliance is formed, it's hard to predict whether it will expand rapidly as in history, but one thing is certain, the world will be troubled from now on!

"Don't fight anymore!" Zhang Tinglan waved her hand: "No matter what Sun Wen does, the top priority is to win the war. As long as we can defeat Russia, people in the world will naturally know who is strong and who is weak. Follow the example of Russia!"

Yang Yuting also hurriedly said: "The commander hits the nail on the head, and you have to be tough when you strike the iron. As long as you capture Chita, it is tantamount to giving Sun Dapao a slap in the face. Let me see how he has the face to make a declaration that the Russians are equal to China." , is simply shameless."

Feng Jun temporarily let go of Sun Wen's affairs, and made all-out combat preparations. It took nearly half a month to transfer a large amount of supplies from the three eastern provinces, and the northern and southern armies were also adjusted to the best condition. It already has the ability to launch a campaign of unprecedented scale.

Zhang Tinglan deliberately chose June 6 to launch the campaign, which was the day when Germany attacked the Soviet Union in World War II.Just when the sky was just getting dark, on the tarmac, all the fighters, bombers, and reconnaissance planes of the Feng army were all displayed.

Yang Yuting and Feng Yong appeared on the airport together, and as combat planes took off one by one, a huge fleet appeared in the sky one by one.

In order to achieve the best bombing effect, the Feng army dispatched another batch of bombers from the rear, bringing the total number of bombers to [-], and more than [-] fighter jets escorted them. They were divided into two attack waves.

The targets of the first attack wave were the Russian army's airports, air defense facilities, and important command and communication systems.The large-scale attack of the Air Force far exceeded the expectations of the Russians.

After the first wave of attacks, the two front-line airports of the Russians were all blown up, and the planes were still in the hangar, and they were blown to pieces. was shot down.

The battle lasted for more than an hour, and the Russians basically lost their air supremacy, and the second wave of attacks had already begun. Their targets were the roads, railways, bridges and other facilities between Chita and Aginskoye , the goal is to clear the way for ground attacks.

Just as the bombing operation was in full swing, the armored troops led by Zhang Tingshu had been dispatched at full speed, and quickly cut to the rear of the Russians according to the predetermined plan. (To be continued..)
