Second, the weeping hooligan East Army only passed through the group of rabbles that were no longer Yan! The total strength of Zhongzhou Canyi has reached more than 70,000 people, and the weapons and equipment are very advanced, the arms are complete, and the combat quality is quite good.

Since the troops directly under the tsarist government were ordered to disband by the Chinese side, many professional officers can only choose to join the mercenaries in order to make a living, so the Far East Army quickly has a high-quality officer team, and use the generous treatment and the belief of "allegiance to His Majesty the Tsar" in exchange for their loyalty, the addition of these Russian officers has greatly improved the current situation of the low combat quality of the legion, and compared with those who do not understand the language of the ** officer, these Russian officers command Russian soldiers more handy, This also has direct benefits for strengthening combat effectiveness.

All the expenses of this Far Eastern Army were covered by the tsarist government of the Russian Empire, which was in exile in Kyakhta. The gold reserves in the state coffers of the Russian Empire were the surest guarantee of the mercenaries' military expenses, and the yellow gold was sent away in exchange for sophisticated weapons and equipment made in the Chinese arsenals. It's a business, but it's also an investment. In addition to the regent minister in the tsarist government, another important investor is China's president, Zhao Bei.

If a few days ago the existence of the Far Eastern Army was only a psychological comfort to those exiled nobles of the Russian Empire, now these exiled nobles suddenly realize that this Far Eastern Army, which is actually in the hands of the Chinese, is probably the best and most powerful weapon for them to restore the Russian Empire.

It is precisely for this reason that almost all the Russian aristocracy in exile are convincing Zhang Zongchang, because he is the supreme commander of the Far Eastern Army. Although the regent of the Russian Empire appointed Chechakov as Minister of Defense of the Tsarist government, as Zhang Zongchang's immediate boss to control the Far Eastern Army. But in fact, with a little brain, you can see it. As long as Zhang Zongchang is still tightly hugging the thigh of Xu Shuzheng, the "King of Outer Mongolia", then Zhang Zongchang is the soul of the Far East Army, and only he can command this Far East Army with strong combat effectiveness.

In order to curry favor with Zhang Zongchang, many nobles deliberately befriended this arrogant commander of the East. Not only did he send money to women, but he was even willing to call his son a brother and sister with Commander Zhang according to Oriental etiquette, and now, Zhang Zongchang not only has more than a dozen Russian mistresses, but also dozens of Russian noble brothers. If you want to ask who is the most beautiful in Kyakhta now, I am afraid it will belong to him Commander Zhang. As for Xu Shuzheng, his status as an active soldier limits the scope of his friendships, so he is indeed inferior to Zhang Zongchang in the limelight.

I heard that Xu Shuzheng was going to have a banquet for the central commissioner, and Xiao Zhang Zongchang hurriedly came to befriend Yang Wangpeng with a generous gift, Zhang Zongchang was a rough man. I don't know much about the big characters, but the truth of the rivers and lakes is very clear, since Commissioner Yang Wang is a person sent by the center and the president. So this is the ancient minister, how can he not stammer? Therefore, at the reception banquet, Zhang Zongchang toasted Yang Wangpeng again and again, shouting "Brother Yang" affectionately, but he didn't know what others were laughing at. Recalling that President Zhao Da had also made a mistake on this issue of resuming his surname, Yang Wangpeng was also happy, but he didn't deliberately correct it, so Zhang Zongchang shouted "Brother Yang", and it wasn't until Xu Shuzheng corrected this mistake that Xiao Zhang Zongchang changed his words.

"It turns out" King Yang is actually a compound surname. It's really offensive and offensive. I'll punish myself with a glass! ”

Zhang Zongchang was also interested, hurriedly picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and relieved the embarrassment in front of him, put down the wine glass, and when he looked at Yang Wangpeng again, he saw that he was muttering to Xu Shuzheng.

Zhang Zongchang was about to speak, but his foot was stepped on by the chief of staff sitting next to him, so he hurriedly closed his mouth. No more interrupting.

What Yang Wangpeng and Xu Shuzheng were talking about was about the Far East Army, now the Russian Republican Provisional Government has been overthrown by the Soviets, the situation in Russia is quite chaotic, revolutions have been born in various places, the Soviets control some cities, and people loyal to the Provisional Government also control some cities, this juncture is the time when all forces are fighting for each other, at this time, no one can guarantee that the regent of the Russian Empire will not make any moves, considering that the only armed force he can control at present is the Far East Army, So. Yang Wangpeng believes that at this time, it seems that Xu Shuzheng should tighten his control over the Far East Army and not allow them to act at will, especially across the border, after all, the central government has not yet issued an order, and the policy is not clear. It's better to wait and see what happens.

The so-called "heroes see the same thing" Xu Shuzheng also sees it this way, so after reaching an agreement with Yang Wangpeng, Xu Shuzheng will knock on Zhang Zongchang's side.

"Commander Zhang, the day before yesterday, the revolution broke out in Russia, and seeing that Russia is about to be in chaos again, what do you think about it?"

"Your side" refers to the small court in exile of the Russian Empire, specifically, the regent of the Russian Empire, Rasputin, which Zhang Zongchang knows very well.

"I don't seem to have any opinions, but this morning, Chechakov went to my headquarters and told me to hurry up and train my troops, and see what he meant, I'm afraid that there is also a mess in Russia."

Zhang Zongchang picked up a leg of mutton and said while nibbling on it, but he also picked it up and talked about it. His identity is an intelligence officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau, although he is, but he does not dare to violate the discipline of the Military Intelligence Bureau, since Si Yanpeng does not know his true identity, then, he can only continue to conceal it, if the center thinks it is necessary to let Yang Wangpeng know Zhang Zongchang's identity. The Military Intelligence Bureau will issue relevant orders, but before that, Zhang Zongchang's identity was an outlaw who went to Russia.

。 In my opinion, it is better for you Far Eastern Corps not to act rashly, the current situation is unclear, and no one can see clearly what the political situation in Russia is like a boat. However, it is right to seize the time to train the troops, and it is not possible to train the soldiers without training. Wait for it

Xu Shuzheng nodded, told Zhang Zongchang a few words, looked at Yang Wangpeng again, then picked up chopsticks, and picked up some dishes for Yang Wangpeng, while pondering in his heart. The central government did not send it sooner or later, but after the Russian revolution, Yang Wangpeng was parachuted into Outer Mongolia, what kind of calculation was the central government doing?

At the beginning, the central center quickly disbanded the troops directly under the tsar, but did not disband the Far Eastern Army, but further strengthened the strength of this mercenary miscellaneous force, Xu Shuzheng also couldn't understand it at the time, but now, he has seen that the center has long expected that the chaos in Russia will not stop at the "February Revolution." But why was the president so sure of his judgment? For Xu Shuzheng, this is also a question.

These questions can't be answered now, so Xu Shuzheng quickly restrained his mind and drank with the heroes present, fortunately, he drank low-alcohol wine, but he didn't have to worry about getting drunk.

This dinner party for Yang Wangpeng lasted until late at night, and Yang Wangpeng stayed in the dormitory of the Northwest Frontier Office, while Zhang Zongchang and his men still returned to the Far East Army Headquarters.

The headquarters of the Far Eastern Army is located in the northwest of Kyakhta, just on the border, for security reasons, Zhang Zongchang specially let the soldiers dig some tunnels under a hill, he usually lives in the tunnels, even if the Russian army shoots * artillery from the other side of the border, Zhang Zongchang can avoid the first round of shelling, and then he can quickly escape to the safe rear with his money and mistress.

Zhang Zongchang, of course, prefers to live in the city of Kyakhta. But Xu Shuzheng disagreed, so he could only arrange the headquarters in the tunnel, and also place those Russian mistresses here. Usually there is nothing to do, so I have fun with those mistresses in the headquarters, as for the training of the troops. It was completely left to his subordinates, and he, the commander of the Far Eastern Army, did quite leisurely.

After returning drunk, Zhang Zongchang was about to sleep with several mistresses in his arms, but before he could take off his military boots, he suddenly heard the phone ring, a mistress picked up the microphone, and the voice of a staff officer came from inside.

。 Commander, Commander! The Secretary of State for Defence told us to get ready. Tomorrow after dawn, immediately cross the border. along the railway line in the direction of Baikal".

"What? Crossing borders? ”

As soon as he heard the staff officer's words, Zhang Zongchang almost jumped up before coming back. Xu Shuzheng once specially told him that without the consent of the Northwest Frontier Office, the Far East Army must not cross the border, and the instructions of the Military Intelligence Bureau are also the same, and without an order, no crossings are allowed.

Accustomed to a leisurely life, to tell you the truth, Zhang Zongchang doesn't want to fight at all now, and the orders of the Military Intelligence Bureau are also very clear, so he did not immediately give the order to prepare for war, but quickly left the headquarters and rushed to Kyakhta on horseback. Xu Shuzheng shouted out of bed and asked the director of the Northwest Frontier Affairs Department.

The stakes were so high that Xu Shuzheng did not dare to call the shots, so he had to send a telegram to the commander's hall overnight, and soon the president called back and instructed them to "ask about the situation" After Xu Shuzheng received the telegram, "Ding instructed Zhang Zongchang to say a few words, and personally rushed to the tsarist government with the commander of the Far Eastern Army to meet the regent.

It was also from the Minister Regent that Xu Shuzheng learned about the new changes in the situation in Baikal. Just this afternoon, the Soviet-led revolution broke out in Baikal, and the local republican government sent people to ask for help from the tsarist government in exile in Kyakhta, and the tsarist government decided to return to Baikal. Assist the republican government in suppressing the revolution and, after bringing the situation under control, use Port Baikal as the eastern base for the restoration of the Russian Empire.

Xu Shuzheng reported the situation to the Commander-in-Chief's Hall and the General Staff, and in the early morning of the next day, the Commander-in-Chief's Hall called back and the President approved the actions of the Far East Army Corps, "agreeing to cross the border." As a result, Zhang Zongchang could only bite the bullet and set foot on Russian soil again. And this time, the Far East Army under his command is no longer the Wuxia Amun of the past, it is equipped with 50 tanks alone, and the air force also has enough fighters and bombers, and the pilots have also undergone strict training.

Any resistance was futile in the face of the tsarist army, armed to the teeth, and two days later the Soviet revolution in Baikal was suppressed by the tsarist government, and immediately. An explosive news spread to every corner of the world through newspapers and telegrams The Romanov dynasty of the Russian Empire announced the restoration of the port of Baikal and called on all Russians to quickly unite with His Majesty the Tsar and fight the Soviets to the end.

The situation in Russia was even more chaotic, but the investors of the Far Eastern Army laughed. If you want to know what happened next, please log in, more chapters. Hold the author and support genuine reading!
