"No, no, no. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhu Erdian shook his head again and again and said: "In my opinion, the Chinese government wants to completely control the localities, and Xinjiang and Mongolia are the targets. And the behavior of your country gives them a logical reason. Yang Zengxin in Xinjiang and the princes and nobles in Inner Mongolia had no reason to refuse the advance of the government army. Think about it, after the government troops enter, will they easily withdraw? ”

"Of course not." Kupenschi replied without thinking about it: "So, the independence of Outer Mongolia has helped the Chinese government?" ”

"Exactly." Zhu Erdian turned his glass, looked at the red wine in the glass with great interest, and said: "Not only the Chinese government has taken control of Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia, but also Outer Mongolia. Moreover, it has united the hearts of the people and the army, so that the army, which is still somewhat complicated, has united and united with the outside world. What is even more beautiful is that the Chinese government has received strong support from Germany by taking a hard line against Russia. And a quasi-alliance between China and Germany is something we do not want to see, and we try to avoid. As for the United States, they are of course happy to see Russian goods withdrawn from the Chinese market as a result, and there are such broad investment areas as Xinjiang and Mongolia. The door is open, hehe, just in time. ”

Kupenschi nodded admiringly, the old guy is the old guy, the analysis is so straightforward, he asked tentatively: "Mr. Zhu Erdian's analysis is really exquisite, in your opinion, is the Chinese government really determined to go to war with our country?" ”

"If your army meets the Chinese army in Outer Mongolia, I don't think the Chinese army will back down." "It's about whether China can continue to receive huge amounts of aid from the United States and Germany, and the Chinese government can create a lot of public opinion," Zhu said. Accuse your country of interfering in China's internal affairs and invading China's territory with armed force, thereby depriving your country of its right to speak on the Mongolian issue. ”

"It's already being deprived." Kupenschi said with a wry smile.

Zhu Erdian laughed. Then he said quietly: "If the enemy wants us to do it, we must not do it, and your envoy should understand this truth." ”

Kupenschi pondered for a while, looked up and said: "Germany is the biggest enemy, and naturally hopes that the conflict between China and Russia will intensify. They will give out weapons, and China will send people. Weaken Russia's power, or draw Russian energy into the Far East, so that their plight on the east and west fronts can be alleviated. ”

Zhu Erdian's words benefited Kupenschi a lot. But it doesn't help to get out of the current situation. Russia backed down, so what's the bottom line? China has taken a hard line on Russia, although it is largely motivated by the desire to receive American and German aid. Full control over the place. But a military conflict is already imminent, and Russia has not yet made a final decision.

The French minister was a little depressed, and his wish to dance with Miss Beautiful could not be realized for the time being. This beautiful young lady was dancing with Mr. Secretary of State in her arms, and looked at him with a gentle and watery look.

……………

Kupensiqi and Chen Wenqiang met, Chen Wenqiang was expressionless, gently turned the wine glass in his hand, and waited for the other party to speak.

"The Mongols declared independence in Kulen and asked Russia for support. The Russian government did not want Mongolia to secede from China. Rather, they hope that the Mongols will compromise with the Chinese government and conclude a treaty—"

Chen Wenqiang raised his hand and interrupted Kupenzi's unnutritious words. He said coldly: "Mr. Minister, this kind of diplomatic rhetoric is useless now. Although the Russian government does not admit it, it is a well-known fact that in Heilongjiang Province, the Russian army participated in the ******** rebels to capture Yubin Province, forcibly occupy the Jilalin Gold Factory, and expel the manufacturers; in Outer Mongolia, arms and funds were provided to encourage separatists to declare independence; In addition, when the Chinese government transferred troops from Heilongjiang to Mongolia, Russia warned the Chinese representative in Russia that if China invaded Outer Mongolia and Russia intervened, the two countries would probably provoke. When the Chinese army was stationed in Chahan Tonggu and other places, preparing to recover Kobdo, which was occupied by the Outer Mongolian rebels, Mr. Minister again demanded that China not enter the army. On the Outer Mongolia issue, Russia's repeated and gross interference in China's exercise of sovereignty has aroused great indignation among the Chinese Government and the Chinese people. ”

"Some misunderstandings have not been explained in detail or clarified in a timely manner, so that the current tension has formed, which I think neither China nor Russia wants to see," Kupenschi quibbled. ”

"Since it was a misunderstanding, now is the time for Russia to clarify." Chen Wenqiang sneered: "Please Russia immediately issue a proclamation, declaring that it opposes the independence of Outer Mongolia, has no intention of interfering in the Chinese government's handling of internal affairs, and withdraws all troops that have entered China's territory without permission, including China's inherent territory - Tangnu Ulianghai." I think that if these legitimate demands are rejected, it will only show that the Russian government is not sincere. ”

"The disturbance of Mongolia on the border with our country cannot but cause concern to the imperial government and compels us to take corresponding measures." "The actions of your government's troops do not seem to be of much use to the situation in Outer Mongolia. The Imperial Government was willing to act as a mediator so that disputes could be resolved through negotiations. ”

Chen Wenqiang said impatiently: "Whether the military action is useful or not, let's see the results!" In addition, I would like to reiterate a few points: first, as a local government, Outer Mongolia does not have the right to negotiate with the central government on a reciprocal basis; Second, Outer Mongolia is China's inalienable territory, and any attempt to split the country will be regarded as an act of treason. Third, Outer Mongolia is China's internal affair and does not require any mediation; Fourth, any action that interferes with China's exercise of sovereignty will be regarded as aggression and will be ruthlessly attacked by government forces. ”

"The expansion of the conflict does not have much substantive benefit to the Chinese government." Kupenschi, apparently also enraged, raised his voice and said: "Russia's military power is not something that China can confront it. ”

"See you on the battlefield!" Chen Wenqiang threw down a sentence lightly, got up to leave, suddenly stopped again, and said with a hint of mockery: "The government army has also started a military operation in Heilongjiang Province, first to crack down on the bandits who forcibly occupied the Jilalin Gold Factory, and then to the Hulun rebels who declared independence. Now, the telegram about the situation of the war is probably coming soon. ”

Mr. Kupenschi looked at Mr. Chen's back, a little unconvinced that the Chinese government would be so fierce. It was the Russian road guards and Hulun Mengbing who forcibly occupied the gold factory in Jilarin, and Chen Wenqiang directly declared them bandits, which meant that they would not be notified to the Russian consul. And directly start the attack.

Just as Kupensiqi thought, the Heilongjiang garrison suddenly moved, and Zhang Zuoxiang led his troops to directly surround the Jiralin Gold Factory, and the cannons and machine guns were pointed directly at the factory.

"Boom!" The shells fell, destroying a small wooden house and sending sawdust and clods flying.

"Near-missed, left-sided." Artillery spotters hold binoculars. Reported data.

A moment later, another shell burst out of the chamber and exploded in the factory area.

The Russian road convoy and the Mongolian bandits, who had seized the gold factory in Kilarin, were suddenly attacked. Completely dizzy, not understanding what the hell was going on. Surrounded by heavily armed Chinese troops, Sen Leng's muzzle was pointed directly at this place, and he counted it. There are at least ten gates.

Romanov, the captain of the Russian convoy, could not believe that this was true. There were no representations, no warnings, and the Chinese troops opened fire like that.

"Boom!" , another shell, the explosion shook Romanov's ears and made him sober up all at once.

"Stop shelling!" Zhang Zuoxiang raised his hand to order, and several Russian soldiers on the opposite side were waving their hands and shouting over here.

Romanov and the others just ran to him. A dozen shiny bayonets were raised and pointed at their chests.

"Nope. No. Romanov hurriedly waved his hand and said in stiff Chinese: "We are the Russian Protectorate, may I ask, why are you attacking here?" ”

"This place has been taken over by bandits, and we have been ordered to exterminate it." Zhang Zuoxiang sneered: "Russian road guard? Why did you come here, you must be pretending to kill me all. ”

False intimidation, this is not the patent of the Russians. The delegation from Beijing received a face-to-face lecture, and Zhang Zuolin and others have already understood this truth. Just as Chen Wenqiang said: The great powers are all lowly people who bully the weak and fear the hard, and the Manchu retreat has given them the habit of being arrogant and unreasonable, and only by being more unreasonable than them can they suppress their arrogance. On the land of East Asia, the contest between countries is not only wisdom, but also courage.

Romanov opened his mouth wide, how could he just say a word, and he was going to kill. Russians, I'm Russians! When did the lives of Russians turn out to be treated like chickens and dogs by the Chinese.

Several Chinese soldiers pushed like wolves, and several Russian soldiers tried to resist, but they were immediately beaten with fists, feet, and gun butts, screaming in pain.

The world has changed, and it has become too fast. Romanov was also hit a few times in a row, dragged to the ground like a dead dog by several sturdy Chinese soldiers, he ignored the pain, and screamed: "Not impersonation, not bandits, we are really Russian road guards." ”

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded, and a few of the soldiers who were playing stopped beating and dragged a few Russian soldiers back again.

"Whether it's the Russian convoy or not, we can't say for sure." Zhang Zuoxiang said solemnly: "I have to take care of you first, and when the battle is over, it will be confirmed by the Russian side." ”

Shamanov let out a little breath, and suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, there are still our people in the factory, and when I call everyone out, you will attack again." ”

Zhang Zuoxiang pretended to be angry, walked back and forth on the ground twice, his riding boots clicking, and finally stopped in front of Shamanov.

"Give you five minutes to walk out of the gold factory with your guns aloft." Zhang Zuoxiang said categorically: "If there is any abnormal movement, our army's machine guns will be merciful, and the time will pass, and the artillery will not be polite." ! ”

Shamanov immediately got up from the ground and quickly ran towards the gold mill......

"It turns out that Lao Maozi is also a bear egg." Zhang Zuoxiang looked at Shamanov's back, laughed and said to his subordinates: "I still want to kill a few old hairy people to have fun?" ”

"Brigade commander, do you want to cut the 'soldier's soul'?" An officer looked enviously at the short sword on Zhang Zuoxiang's waist, the gilded scabbard shining brightly.

"Hey, it's not as good as the teacher's. However, this one of us is also the first batch in the country, and it is estimated that the south side has not even seen what it looks like! Zhang Zuoxiang touched the short sword cherishedly and sighed.

The issuance of "soldiers' souls" short swords to officers is another measure taken by the Chinese government to motivate and improve morale and unite the morale of the military. The "soldier's soul" short sword is divided into three kinds, the captain-level is inlaid with silver, the school-level is gilded, and the general-level carved dragon, each of which is made of good steel and has exquisite workmanship, which is not only a killing weapon, but also a symbol of status. Each sword is engraved with eight characters of "loyalty and bravery, the pillar of the country".

"Hey, the old hairy man is out, and he can run faster than the rabbit." A soldier pointed to the gold mill and said loudly.

"Be on guard, if there is any change, there will be no mercy." Zhang Zuoxiang gave the order loudly, "Artillery, start bombarding the factory." ”

Boom, boom, boom...... Successive explosions rang out in the direction of the Russians, and the gang fled more and more desperately, facing the muzzles of the Chinese army's guns. As for the bandits, who can take care of them now?

………………

Kobdo is also known as Hebdo. It is bordered by the Khalkha Mongolian Zasaktu Khan Department in the east, there is a post road to Uriya Sutai, in the west through Tarbagatai (now Tacheng), Ili, in the south to Dihua and Balikun, in the north to Tangnu Wulianghai, and in the northwest to border Russia.

The head of Montenegro, more than ten miles away from Kobdo, is already the last barrier, but the airship in front sent a message that there is no enemy guarding the head of Montenegro.

Yan Baoqing, the commander of the Xinjiang infantry battalion, led his troops to follow a cavalry regiment of the government army as the vanguard, and marched down the head of Montenegro.

Yan Baoqing looked around with a somewhat sad expression, as if he was looking for something.

"Is there anything wrong with strict management?" The commander of the cavalry regiment, Jing Quan, asked in surprise.

Yan Baoqing sighed lightly and said: "When Kobdo was besieged, the Altai Guangzhao Cavalry Battalion was ordered to reinforce, and it was here that more than 3,000 rebels were encountered, outnumbered, and the whole army was annihilated. ”

Jingquan nodded, patted Yan Baoqing's shoulder, and said, "Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why bother with the horse leather shroud." Soldiers, that's how it should be. Report these loyal and brave soldiers, and the government will reward them. A monument is erected here, so that people will always remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country. ”

Government? Yan Baoqing was silent for a moment, and the government in Jingquan's mouth naturally refers to Beijing, not Xinjiang. After the Outer Mongolian independence incident, tens of thousands of government troops quickly entered Xinjiang from Gansu, and follow-up troops are still pouring in. Xinjiang, a nearly independent kingdom, is finally coming under the control of the central government. A change in the power structure, a change in the political elite at the top, is already imminent.

Yang Zengxin has repeatedly disobeyed the instructions of the central government, and this time the government army marched into Xinjiang, which is justified and irresistible. As a result, Yang Zengxin's loss of power has become inevitable, and a group of people in Xinjiang who depend on him are disappointed, while another group of people are mixed and worried, desperately hoping to maintain their current position or win a position in the change of power.

The Altai chief of the office, the prince of Turghut, Paleta, and the Ili town guard Guangfu, have changed their ways and vigorously supported the government army's campaign to conquer Outer Mongolia. Guangfu personally led two battalions of soldiers and horses to reinforce him, while Paleta raised grain and grass for the army and collected camels, so that the army would not run out of food when marching in the desert Gobi region.
