The two of them were in the war room, quietly waiting for the others, and the others also arrived one by one, after seeing the telegram separately, the reactions were different, some were surprised, some were angry, of course, they also thought quietly, their own attitudes were all in favor of counterinsurgency, whether it was national reunification, what geopolitical affairs, or even the security of Baotou itself, Mongolia is an excellent region, if this region is in the hands of Russia, for the northwest, it will be a long sword that will always hang over the head, The potential danger is simply insane.

The last to arrive is Jiang Baili, as the principal of the military academy, he needs to deal with a lot of work every day, this is still the Northwest Military Academy is not short of funds, teachers and personnel have a complete relationship, but the second batch of student recruitment, has already begun, and last year is different, the range of choice, at least more than 10 times before, the crazy expansion of territory and population, gave him a reassurance, last year the Northwest Military Academy personnel only about 12,000 people, according to more than 4,000 and 5,000 recruits, two to one a little moreBut this year, the Northwest Military Academy recruited students from the three provinces, plus the head-on confrontation with the Beiyang Army, and won the battle, countless people who have a special hobby for the military and the profession of officers have applied for the examination, and the personnel of the three provinces alone have reached 43,000 people, plus 12,000 people in Baotou, more than 4,000 people in the army, and 18,000 people nationwide, and the total number has reached an astonishing 77,000 people, close to 80,000.

Inevitably, 4,000 people had to be selected from such a large number of applicants, and the ratio reached 20:1, looking at the hope of becoming officers. And the seedlings with quite good conditions may be turned away, Jiang Baili's mentality is complicated.

On the one hand, it is impossible for him to expand the scale of the military academy at will, which requires an astronomical amount of investment. The lack of teachers is also the key, since he single-handedly established a military academy, and even for the sake of the students of the military academy, he withstood the requirements of Feng Yuxiang and other military, he is not greedy for speed, he needs to train qualified students.

Measured in multiple ways. Even under the expansion, the Northwest Military Academy reluctantly relaxed the enrollment of personnel to 7,000 people, an increase of more than 50% over last year, which is already the limit of what the Northwest Military Academy can do, as for the rest. He had no choice but to seek support from various quarters, so he set up a number of army middle schools based on the current situation in Baotou and China's reality, so that more than 20,000 relatively outstanding personnel could transfer to these officer middle schools to study for one year, get in touch with military education initially, and lay a solid foundation for them as much as possible.

Relative to military schools. The Northwest Army Primary School and the Army Middle School were established on the basis of the original foundation and with the support of the Tongguò Army. Most of the studies are similar to ordinary middle schools, but they go to school in the morning and train in the afternoon, part of the training is related to the enlistment of new recruits, and some teachers are drawn from the army and military schools to give some special lectures.

This was originally set up by Yuan Shikai. It was to provide follow-up officers for Beiyang, but it was carried forward by the Northwest. It became a school system that was based on the Army from the very beginning, from the officers' primary school to the officers' secondary school. All the way to the last North-Western Military Academy.

The sudden cramming of more than 20,000 people will put a certain amount of pressure on the officers' middle school, but the officers' middle school is different from the Northwest Military Academy, and in a certain sense, it is just an ordinary middle school that has received a certain amount of military training, and it can still bear the northwest education with a certain foundation.

These two methods can be regarded as solving the majority of qualified applicants, and the rest can only be given up, so that they can work their own, strive to meet the conditions, and become the next round of winners, or simply change careers and do something else, whether it is a factory, a company, or even a government department, a large number of people need to have a certain degree of education to support the youth in the northwest.

At this moment, Jiang Baili was dealing with these things, at this time, after receiving Yang Yuanzhao's notice, he was still a little reluctant in his heart, he still attended the meeting, he also wanted to see, Yang Yuanzhao was so anxious, what to do with him, and when he arrived at the war room, he saw that the war room was full of people, and his heart chuckled, what happened, the top of the entire Northwest military, as well as the military staff directly under Yang Yuanzhao, were all present.

Slightly with Cai Ye and Zhang Xiaohuai glanced at each other, nodded, he was the last to arrive, the last to see the full text of the telegram, saw the telegram, understood the reason, he was almost furious, a key point of military and national education, is the national character, this is also what he has always called for, a unified country, all under the banner of the country, can give full play to the full strength of China, a big country.

When he came to the northwest, his first impression was that the northwest had a perfect modern military, and Yang Yuanzhao also supported him to run a military academy, so he stayed, but what really made him completely put his heart on the northwest was that the northwest was in education, and the national character that has always been preached.

Jiang Baili was the last, when he arrived, Yang Yuanzhao ordered the guards to close the door of the war room, 1500 meters around the first level of alert, then said: "Everyone is already clear, why I will call everyone over, and everyone's opinion is relatively unified, that is, to send troops to quell the rebellion, but how to fight the battle, how to improve, we need to discuss carefully, there is also a news, if we send troops, there is almost no surprise, Russia will definitely send troops." ”

Russia, although it lost the Russo-Japanese War, its reputation among the great powers is not as good as that of Japan, but the huge land area, the most important thing is that it borders China on the border of thousands of kilometers, it can be said that it is China's number one enemy, and since 1840, China has been threatened by Russia almost all the time.

Especially now, Yang Yuanzhao's entire net worth and industry are in the northwest under the premise that once Mongolia falls into the hands of Russia, then the entire hinterland of the northwest, the most elite and the most economically developed region, is all under the Russian army, as long as he wants, he can enter the northwest casually.

Not to mention, located more than two hundred kilometers north of Baiyun Obo, that big discovery shocked everyone. All of you here are high-level people in the northwest, so to speak, the decision-making level, the big discovery that all of them know, under the leadership of Yang Yuanzhao, the survey there was carried out, and after it was discovered, it was immediately kept secret, and the secrecy level in the northwest almost reached the highest, which was in Mongolia.

This huge gold and copper mine can be called one of the largest gold and copper mines in the world, 1200 tons of gold and more than 33 million tons of copper, such resources are enough to make everyone crazy, not to mention, it is still a rich mineral, easy to mine and refine, but the location is a little off, located on the Great Gobi Desert.

This secret, was covered to death by the Northwest, now the powers do not know this, if they know, the pressure on the Northwest is even greater, why Britain spent 400 million pounds, but also to fight the Boer War, the reason is not because of South Africa's gold, this gold and copper mine in terms of gold, and South Africa can not be compared, South Africa can be said to occupy nearly half of the world's reserves of gold, but a single mine of 1200 tons of gold, absolutely called a very large recent situation, not to mention 33 million tons of copper, this is China, Even the world's relatively scarce resources are directly related to war.

If it is exposed, Britain will probably not hesitate to support Russia, not to mention hundreds of thousands of pounds, millions, tens of millions of dollars, and even under a certain distance, directly send troops to turn this war into another Boer War.

The angry people gradually calmed down, and Jiang Baili, who had the most strategic vision, asked: "Do we have any further news, where is the Russian army?" ”

"Yes, they have already been asked to go and compile it, and now the intelligence is that the Russian army, I'm afraid it has just crossed the Urals!"

Mongolia is close to the northwest, and the intelligence department in the northwest takes Mongolia very seriously, some are Yang Yuanzhao's previous layout, some are sent later, and some are even just businessmen, but this time the matter is too sudden, Mongolia does not seem to be very prepared, and it suddenly broke out, and it was not until after the declaration of independence that the northwest received the news, which was somewhat lagging behind.

But after knowing the result, if you look for the reason for this result, it will be much easier, not only the intelligence from Mongolia, but also from abroad, Britain, France, Japan and the United States, as well as Russia's internal intelligence, and the internal and external departments are combined, and it is quickly summarized to Yang Yuanzhao, although the news from Mongolia has not come directly, but Russia has not sent troops into Mongolia, that is for sure.

"What about the Far Eastern Military District?"

Yang Yuanzhao continued: "In the same way, troops are being transported, and compared to the armies in the European part, they used to be slower! ”

The Far Eastern Military District is definitely not the focus of Russia now, since the Russo-Japanese War was hit hard, the Far Eastern Military District has not recovered for so many years, coupled with the backwardness of transportation, the speed of the Far Eastern Military District's assembly is slower than that of the European part, but it occupies the advantage of being close, but it is still far from Mongolia.

After understanding the situation in Mongolia, Russia, and the northwest in detail, and after making an obvious comparison of the situation in all aspects, they reached a resolution, to send troops, to send troops immediately, with the first division as the lead and the first army as the backing, to enter Mongolia to quell the rebellion, and strive to take the control of Mongolia in their hands before the Russian army reaches Mongolia.
