The telegram taken by the guards about the establishment of the ** is very simple, and the reason is even simpler and simpler, what Mongolia recognizes is only the Qing government, which is the alliance that Mongolia once concluded with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, and now, the Qing emperor has abdicated, so it is natural that Mongolia wants to seek its own **, rather than recognize the so-called democratic government.

** The news of the establishment may not have much impact in the mainland, on the side of the high-level in the northwest, it is like an explosion, because of Yang Yuanzhao's existence in the northwest, even if it is primary school education and ordinary literacy night school education, the concept of the state has always been the focus of propaganda, and even in the previous unequal treaties of the Qing court, the treaty on the cession of land is the top priority, and the mentality of the people has been adjusted to the point of recovering the occupied territory.

Even from the end of 1909, a special National Geographic course was opened, the map of the whole of China was basically familiar, especially in each map, the lost land was marked, looking at a large piece of land, one after another, almost everyone who has been educated, knows the meaning of the country, of course, does not want to lose any inch of land.

This is also the fundamental reason why the northwest clearly has an advantage, but it did not attack to occupy more land, and all the people remain calm.

This time, it's different, Mongolia, which is leaning next to Baotou, actually announced, once this news is announced, it will inevitably cause a series of ideological fluctuations, even Yang Yuanzhao himself can't come out. He had done some preparation before, and that's what he did. The unequal treaties that had been signed before, Yang Yuanzhao had no way to overthrow him for the time being. But Mongolia, which is so close at hand, will never let him leave the arms of China again.

The Inland Revolutionary Party and Beiyang, after receiving the news of the first establishment, protested a few words without pain, for them, they have never had a concept of what Mongolia is, and Yuan Shikai of Beiyang is the same, the concept of territory is also after successfully ascending to the throne. Only then did he begin to think about it, in Zhili, Hebei, Northeast and other places, after obtaining benefits, he considered getting more and bigger chassis, but excluding Mongolia, it was too barren, and Mongolia had no wealth besides cattle, horses and sheep. Second, it's too close to the northwest.

As for Sun Yat-sen, don't say that he doesn't care about Mongolia, even if he cares. Separated by a North Ocean and the Northwest, he is also beyond his reach, not to mention the things that have happened one after another by the alliance at this time. Pressing the gourd to float the scoop is a mess. I don't have the heart to care about this side of things.

The Baotou war room must be up and running quickly. It is clear that the goal of the great powers is Mongolia, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is Russia's attack, Yang Yuanzhao knows that this time, I am afraid that he will not be spared, he must be ready to pacify Mongolia, and at the same time prepare to confront the Russian regular army and even the entire Russian Far East Military District.

Russia is a great power, although it has fallen among the great powers, and the Russo-Japanese War ended in his defeat, but Russia is a European country after all, and it is the largest and most populous country in Europe.

The Chinese population is large, and the northwest occupies the essence of the Chinese population, with a total population of 100 million, it stands to reason that the population will not be less than that of Russia, but after all, the other party is a country, the northwest is a region, the people are here to earn money, the northwest can give them a good life, but because the days of establishment and concentration are relatively short, once too many people are sacrificed, exceeding the limit that the people can bear, the stability of the northwest will fall apart.

That is to say, confrontation with Russia, or even confrontation with the Far Eastern Military District, you can, once you fight a full-scale war with Russia, then you really have to think about it, Yang Yuanzhao has only been in Baotou for 3 years, and the rapid development of Baotou has proved the correctness of his steps.

You can't help but fight, and you can't fight hard, this is a contradiction, how to deal with this contradiction, is a problem that Yang Yuanzhao must consider, before he thought about it for a long time, a large number of staff officers, after receiving the notice, gathered in the war room, they didn't dare to say more, just sat down according to the order.

Next, Feng Yuxiang, Jiang Baili, Cai Yi, Zhang Xiaohuai and others arrived at the war room one after another, and these high-ranking officers and high-level officials who had relatively clear ideas about the international situation and geopolitical affairs gathered together to jointly study this emergency.

Among all of them, Feng Yuxiang was the first to arrive, he has been in Baotou recently, dealing with the demobilization of some soldiers and the replenishment of the sick, he is busy with his feet not touching the ground, Baotou lacks officers, especially low-level officers, the previous expansion has used up all his potential, which is also the fundamental reason why he reached out to the Northwest Military Academy.

Yang Yuanzhao's appearance, coupled with Jiang Baili's protest, he had no choice but to reach an agreement with the Northwest Military Academy, he could no longer recruit soldiers endlessly, and he couldn't stop, he thought of the idea of the reserve that Yang Yuanzhao had casually mentioned to him before, and the troops who were not very suitable for the army, or the soldiers with poor strength, were temporarily transferred, which was equivalent to changing from the regular army to the reserve, focusing on work, by the way, participating in military training held by the internal security forces and garrisons 2-3 times a week, and maintaining a certain state. In this way, the things that were rigorously trained before will not be forgotten because of the passage of time, and as long as the officers are in place and the establishment is in place, this personnel will be recruited into the army at any time.

This is also the concept of reserve that Yang Yuanzhao specifically mentioned, which is different from the previous militia and paramilitary organizations, which is really laid off from the regular army, and some of the weaknesses are transferred, and the rest are turned into non-commissioned officers or low-level officers, and then a large number of recruits are recruited, forming a cycle and survival of the fittest. The Northwest will inevitably be an ever-expanding military power.

This is a pioneering act, I have never heard of it, so appropriate to the current situation in the northwest, Feng Yuxiang almost did not hesitate to do it, a lot of work, under a thousand things, he, the commander-in-chief of the army, had to put down the work of army command, sitting here, fortunately, the deal is almost done, only the last step is left, you can hand it over to your subordinates to do, at this time Feng Yuxiang received an invitation from Yang Yuanzhao, because it was in the nearby military camp, he rushed at the fastest speed.

As soon as Feng Yuxiang entered the door, he saw a room full of staff officers, and knew in his heart that something was a big deal, so he shouted loudly: "Yuan Zhao, call me in such a hurry, is there something wrong!" ”

Yang Yuanzhao handed him the telegram in his hand, and after Feng Yuxiang read it, he was slightly startled, and asked as if he had thought of something: "Is it related to the previous five-nation talks!" ”

"That's it!"

"These bastard imperialists, they are really thieves!"

"What does Brother Huanzhang think we should do?"

"Do you need to say anything? Counterinsurgency, must be counterinsurgent! Feng Yuxiang said categorically, whether it is the revolutionary enthusiasm before, or now, after entering the northwest and Yang Yuanzhao's persuasion, the formation of an idea similar to the army of the people, Feng Yuxiang does not allow the division of the country, Mongolia is part of China, this is a hundred-year, or even hundreds of years of tradition, for the so-called ** in Mongolia, his first thought is rebellion, for the rebellion, must be suppressed with a tough attitude.

Yang Yuanzhao simply exchanged some ideas with Feng Yuxiang, especially asking about the troops, since they want to suppress the rebellion, and even confront Russia in the future, the troops must be prepared.

Baotou now has expanded its territory, which is beneficial, and there are more territory and personnel to control it, and its own strength is also strong, but it is not without bad things, the territory is large, and there are more places that need to be defended, so it will inevitably occupy a large part of the troops, and these troops will be stationed in various places in the three provinces, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land, hundreds of thousands of people, which is really nothing.

"It's okay, now the three divisions of the First Army are near Baotou! Especially the first division, which is in Baotou! Feng Yuxiang patted his chest and said, he was also very happy, it stands to reason that the three divisions of the First Army should be stationed in Zhangjiakou and Datong, but they have been doing the work of demobilizing soldiers recently, so they happened to be concentrated, re-recruited, and the new army, which has been trained for more than half a year, has also been added to the troops, and is doing the whole training, which has been almost a month.

Feng Yuxiang's words made Yang Yuanzhao feel slightly relieved, no matter what, with the First Army in hand, the Mongolian chaos will not go there, even if it is head-on with Russia, there will not be too many problems.

"By the way, Yuan Zhao, we have just been demobilized, do you want to call these people back!"

Yang Yuanzhao felt a pang in his heart, this is not a good time, took a deep breath, and asked, "How is the combat effectiveness of the First Army now!" ”

"The defensive war is stronger than before, the sports war is a little worse, and about 30% of the soldiers have never seen blood!"

The last one is fatal, but Yang Yuanzhao also knows that at this time, it will take at least a week or so to disrupt the establishment and reintegrate the first army, and the counterinsurgency will not wait for anyone, at least when the Russian army has not entered Mongolia, they will assess the rebellion before they can take the initiative.

"It's too late, trust our instructors!"

Yang Yuanzhao made a decision, Feng Yuxiang didn't say anything more, as a soldier, he knows very well the truth that every second counts, it's a big deal, let the follow-up support go up faster. (To be continued......)
