Ouyang Longxing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It's not too difficult to arrive, it's not so easy for the Mongolian nobles to organize an alliance, it can't be done without more than half a year, and even if it is done, it's not a big deal, the Mongolian nobles alliance can't be our opponent at all, and the Mongolian nobles can't compare to us in terms of people's hearts." As for Russia, it should be a diplomatic matter, but after Russia's new defeat in the Far East war, there are many contradictions in the country, and it is a period of decline, so I believe that as long as we exert enough pressure on Russia diplomatically, Russia will not be able to support the Mongol aristocracy, at least not blatantly. ”

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "According to what you say, the Mongolian region is impregnable!"

Ouyang Longxing shook his head and said: "That can't be said, if we just want to hold the Mongolian region that we currently control, of course it will not be a problem, but the Mongolian nobles will definitely not stop, although they can't shake our control, but they will continue to cause us small damage, and if we just see the way we deal with the moves, we will be a little passive, and we will be completely led away by the Mongolian nobles, which is very unfavorable to us." Inner Mongolia has a total area of more than 1 million square kilometers and a population of about 2.3 million, while Outer Mongolia has a population of 1.7 million square kilometers. The population is about 800,000, and the area we now control is only 4 or 50,000 square kilometers, with a population of less than 100,000, and we cannot rely on the resources of the Mongolian region to deal with the sabotage actions of the Mongolian nobles. ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Then according to your opinion, how to solve this problem?"

Ouyang Longxing said: "My solution is to expand our occupation area in Mongolia, on the one hand, to warn the Mongolian nobles, we will never only be beaten and not fight back, whoever dares to provoke us must bear our retaliation; on the other hand, we have expanded our occupation area in Mongolia and increased the population, so that we can mainly rely on the resources of the Mongolian region to confront the Mongolian nobles and implement the Mongolian control of Mongolia, and in the future, we will have full control of Mongolia, and there are enough personnel available." ”

Qin Zheng said: "So to what extent should we expand our occupation area in Mongolia?"

Ouyang Longxing immediately took out a map, attached it to the table, pointed to the map, and said: "Now we have controlled the Manchuria region in the north and Chifeng in the south, and the straight-line distance from Chifeng to Manchuria is about 800 kilometers. As he spoke, he picked up a pencil and drew a straight line between Manchuria and Chifeng, and continued: "The part east of this straight line includes the Zhuo Suo Tu League, the Zhao Wu Da League, and the Zhao Wu Da League in the northeastern part of Inner Mongolia. The whole area of the Jelimu League, most of the Xilin Gol League, and part of the Chechen Khan of Outer Mongolia are encircled in the arc of our northeast region, which is the area of occupation that we should expand, once we bring this area under our control, then we will control the area of about 25-300,000 square kilometers in the Mongolian region, and the population will be between 700,000 and 800,000, so that there will be enough human resources, as long as it is properly organized, it is completely possible to rely only on the resources of the Mongolian region under our control to fight against the Mongolian nobles in other regions。 And to train enough personnel for full control of the Mongolian region in the future. ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Your suggestion is good, but we have just ended the Far East War, and now we are relieving the disaster in the Yangtze River Valley, and in a short period of time, we will not start a new war." ”

Ouyang Longxing said: "To control this area, there is no need to carry out large-scale military operations, one army regiment and one cavalry regiment are enough, even if there are only 2 cavalry battalions, it is enough to only draw troops from my 19th division, as long as I am equipped with cavalry troops, and a military operation of this scale will not consume too many of our resources." ”

Qin Zheng said: "If you just dispatch this force, it is feasible, but with only such a small number of troops, can you achieve the goal you said, an army regiment and two cavalry battalions, at most 4, 5,000 troops, in Mongolia, maybe there is no force that can compete with such a force, but to control an area of 25-300,000 square kilometers, it is far from enough to rely on this force." ”

Ouyang Longxing said: "Political commissar, what you said is right, I don't expect to rely on an army to occupy this area, the army is only auxiliary, and the main tactics are to adopt our model in Henan, infiltrating layer by layer, three points military, seven points politics." To fully mobilize the vast number of herdsmen and organize them to fight against the Mongol aristocracy, we only do the work of leading, mobilizing, and organizing, and the army is only used as our backing when the Mongol nobility counterattacks. According to the current situation we have, the herdsmen in this area hope that we can rescue them, Bi Jing who does not want to be able to get rid of the control of the nobles, have their own cattle and sheep livestock, so as long as we send an army, raise our arms, we will definitely get the support of many herdsmen, of course, such tactics, need a large number of grassroots administrative staff, which requires the strong support of the local **. According to my estimates, within this year, and at most by the beginning of next year, we will be able to complete control of this area. ”

Qin Zheng was very satisfied with Ouyang Longxing's answer, in fact, this coincided with his thoughts, although in the past two years, the main goal of East China is to develop the economy and industry, and will not launch a large-scale war, but it does not mean that East China should be obscure and do nothing, on the one hand, if there is a suitable opportunity, it will still take decisive action, such as this disaster relief operation, which is actually to infiltrate the power of East China into the Yangtze River Basin; on the other hand, small-scale military operations, whether offensive or defensive, East China They will not blindly stop it, and the battle that should be fought will still be fought, but the scale must not exceed one division.

In Mongolia, although East China occupies the stronghold of Chifeng, it is difficult to speak alone after all, and if it can be expanded under the premise of controlling the military scale, it can certainly be implemented. However, Qin Zheng Bijing is not on the front line, so he does not fully understand the situation in Mongolia, and he has no bottom on whether he can expand the Mongolian region controlled by East China on the premise of controlling the military scale. Qin Zheng came to Jinzhou this time to inspect and investigate, and specially arranged a meeting with Ouyang Longxing in Chaoyang County, just to discuss the situation in Mongolia with him and see what the chances of specific implementation were.

However, judging from Ouyang Longxing's response, his thoughts were not only the same as Qin Zheng's, but also obviously after careful consideration, and according to the actual situation in Mongolia, he made a detailed plan, and in Qin Zheng's opinion, the probability of success of this plan is indeed very high, so Qin Zheng said: "Ouyang, it seems that you have been thinking about this plan for a while. ”

Ouyang Longxing said: "Yes, after capturing Chifeng, I was thinking about it, because although we controlled Chifeng at that time, the defense line was too thin, and in order to protect the transportation line, we had to adopt the strategy of building fortresses along the way. And then we were able to govern the occupied areas very well, so I think we could adopt them. Henan model', and Ao Han Banner tried once, achieved good results, at that time after our mobilization, there were more than 2,000 herdsmen were mobilized by us, I only sent 1 company of troops to fight with them, and successfully overthrew the two local aristocratic forces, to achieve the transformation of turning over and being the master, and at that time there were herdsmen who asked us, but also to other banner leagues to encourage the herdsmen there, overthrow the nobles, and be the masters of the house, and they also promised to help us persuade the local herdsmen, so I began to seriously investigate, analyzed, and finally determined this plan. ”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, then you write this plan into a report......

Ouyang Longxing immediately said: "Report to the political commissar, I have already written the report." As he spoke, he took out a bound book from the folder he carried, respectfully handed it to Qin Zheng, and said, "Please take a look at the political commissar." ”

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "It seems that you are ready to be full." But didn't pick it up.

Ouyang Longxing said: "After I received the notice that you were going to come to Jinzhou for inspection, I began to write this report, and the words I said just now are all in the report, and there are very detailed data descriptions in the report. ”

Qin Zheng said: "Very good, I won't read it now, you should submit this report to the military region to which you belong, this process cannot be broken, and it will come to me in the end, but I can't do it for such a big thing, and I will eventually take it to Qingdao and be reviewed by the Executive Yuan, but I support it." Implementation can only begin when the Executive Yuan is passed. I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few days. ”

In fact, the Northeast Management Committee has the power to approve Ouyang Longxing's report, although the goal of this operation is to control an area of 25-30 square kilometers in Mongolia, but after all, it is only a partial military operation, and the scale of the troops dispatched is not large, so the Northeast Management Committee can decide on its own, and only need to report to Qingdao.

However, now the revocation of the Northeast Management Committee has entered the countdown, just wait for Qin Zheng to complete this inspection, return to Shenyang to start the handover, and then announce the abolition of this body, so at this time the Northeast Management Committee has basically taken care of things, Qin Zheng of course does not want to finalize anything major at this time, not to mention that Ouyang Longxing's plan is not imminent, wait for 1, 20 days has no big impact, and it can be completely after the Northeast Management Committee is abolished, Qin Zheng returns to Qingdao and submits it to the Executive Yuan for discussion.

Ouyang Longxing didn't understand the subtle relationship here, since Qin Zheng said so, he didn't want to ask again, so he said, "Yes." ”

Qin Zheng patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Well, during this time, you can do more preparations in Chifeng." Once it is approved by the Executive Yuan, it will be implemented immediately. ”
