In September, when the diplomats of the Council of the Four-Nation Alliance had not yet left this ancient land, the two factions had already begun to fight, and the fundamental point was that the bribed president was not influential enough, and was even inferior to Li Yuanhong, at least Li Yuanhong knew that he would not do anything to other warlords, and this ......

The unwilling warlords naturally took advantage of the situation, and the Feng Department only made the first move because it was too close to here, plus the other warlords wanted to be a yellow sparrow, otherwise the direct opponent was not only Zhang Zuolin of the Feng Department.

After the defeat of the first Zhifeng War in 1922, the Feng Department has been trying to make a comeback, and this time it can be regarded as an opportunity for the Feng Department, because to a certain extent, the Direct Department has become the target of public criticism, and Zhang Zuolin can be regarded as having the opportunity to ascend to a high position by winning the bribe election president.

Combined with the warlords of Zhejiang, the Feng Department began to increase troops in the Shanhaiguan area, and the Feng Department had 6 group armies, and Zhang Zifeng was the commander-in-chief. At the same time, the bribed president also arranged Wu Peifu as the commander-in-chief of the rebellion, and the total number of troops engaged by the two sides reached 420,000, of which 25 were directly related to 17, and almost all of the two sides participated in the war at the same time.

But looking at the number, the direct line naturally has an advantage, but don't forget where the roots of the Feng line come from, that is, the students trained by the Czech Duchy, not to mention the overall quality of the army, the ability of the generals alone is more than a step higher than that of the direct line, and if the first direct war was not taken into account by the Japanese side, the Feng family would not have lost so miserably.

As most people expected, at the beginning of the war, the Feng Department used a fierce offensive to successively take Longhua, Chifeng and other places, and the direct line was defeated and suffered heavy losses. Of course, the Bong system is not without losses. It's just that the number is a little smaller in comparison. The overall began to prevail.

When occupying Shanhaiguan, the total number of troops killed on both sides had reached more than 30,000, which was the number of three army divisions. On the 17th, the Feng Department of Shanhai Pass was broken and drove straight in, and after Luanzhou, the Feng Department began to encircle and suppress the direct army in the area of Yuguan and approached Jincheng, and on November 3, the rebel commander Wu Peifu led the remnants of the army to the south, and the Zhifeng War ended. The direct line was defeated on all fronts.

Shandong and Shanxi overseers attacked the defeated direct line territory, most of the direct senior generals in Jincheng chose to flee, and the rebellious direct soldiers were captured by Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin's strength increased greatly for a while, and the diplomats of the Council of the Four Nations Alliance couldn't help but look at him, and at the same time passed the news here to Ernst's ears.

Compared with other warlords in this ancient land, the Feng family is the most familiar warlord with Ernst, because most of the Feng warlords were supported by the Russian Empire at the beginning, and the current army still has the style of the Czech Army, which is a more trustworthy student. However, such a student betrayed the Russian Empire once during the Russo-Japanese War. Therefore, when it came time to talk about cooperation again, Ernst had to hesitate a little.

Ernst has not yet made a decision. In the Yanjing area again, Feng Yuxiang, a highly regarded direct general, actually chose a coup d'état, put the president under house arrest and bribed the president, and at the same time began to actively respond to various warlords, hoping to reach a peaceful and reasonable situation on this matter.

To be honest, at this time, other warlords don't want to push the direct line too much, after all, the direct line still has a lot of strength, no matter which side of the fish is broken, it is the result they don't want to see, especially the other party is still so face-saving and hopes to sit down and negotiate, there is no reason to refuse this result.

The process of the coup d'état was actually very easy, the bribed president no longer had military power in his hands, and the direct general who was about to be sentenced had almost already grasped the overall power after Wu Peifu left, and even the people of Yanjing did not notice it in the process of the coup, until the next day they found out that Yanjing had changed owners.

The negotiations were boring, but this time the negotiations were also very fast, but in a few days it was agreed that Mr. Sun and Duan Qirui from the south would come to Beijing to preside over the situation, and before their arrival, the direct family would temporarily take charge of state affairs, and the direct generals would be directly incorporated into the National Army, Feng Yuxiang was the commander-in-chief and commander of the First Army, and the other direct generals were the commanders of the Second Army and the Third Army.

The diplomat of the Council was ordered by Ernst to hurriedly follow Mr. Sun to prepare to go north, and at the same time Ernst also arranged for Mr. Freud, the first diplomat of the Quad Alliance, to go to the Far East to prepare for an envoy to China.

During this period of time, Japan did not make much moves, but they have always been suppressed by the Russian Empire, and they have been unwilling, and in close contact, they have prepared to carry out a major counteroffensive, and the Japanese army gathered in the Korean and Kwantung regions has quietly reached 600,000.

It was naturally impossible for Ernst's intelligence bureau to be unaware of such a big move, and the news was quickly transmitted to Ernst's hands, and then the new order came to the hands of the commander of the fifth theater of operations, Admiral Konstantin, even Admiral Konstantin, who had always despised the Japanese Army, couldn't help frowning at this time, 600,000 troops were not a joke.

The Quadruple Alliance has only 3 army groups and 300,000 troops in the entire Far East, and it seems that it is not difficult to fight one to two, but in fact, if the 600,000 Japanese Army attacks with all its might, it is really not easy to block it, and it is easy to fight 20 out of 10, 200 for 100, and 60 for 300,000...... Hard!

The real main thing is that at this time it is not as good as in the past, at that time the Russian army can only attack, they need to defend very few places, but the Japanese side is not, their military strength is too scattered, if they are concentrated, who will win and who will lose the war that year is really uncertain.

Admiral Konstantin was very embarrassed, and his three corps commanders seemed very excited in comparison, after all, war meant merit, merit meant knighthood and rank, knighthood and rank meant their future, how could they ignore their future?

The most exciting thing in this may be Yu Zhanshan, because compared with his current status, he thinks that he is not worthy of everything in front of him, he is just a general, how can He De have everything now? He was grateful to Ernst and wanted to be rewarded with merit in line with his current status and status, so he longed for war, and Japan's actions at this time were undoubtedly an opportunity for him.

Admiral Konstantin didn't want to take the risk, so he contacted the Feng Department as soon as possible, but the head of the Feng Department seemed to have other ideas, and he said that without Yanjing's instructions, the only help he could give was 50,000 troops, and 50,000 were second-rate troops in the Feng Department.

This incident made the soldiers and generals of the Fifth War Zone very angry, but all they could do was this, after all, it was not a few years ago, they were defending their own territory instead of helping China, and the large land of Kwantung Prefecture and Korea was actually managed by the Russian Empire now.

Admiral Konstantin was worried here, but the diplomat of the council, who had already arrived in Yanjing, was in the eye, because he saw an opportunity for the diplomat to write to Admiral Ernst and Admiral Konstantin at the first time, and he needed the help of both of them.

Admiral Constantine received a letter and a telegram to Ernst, so Ernst received it earlier than Admiral Constantine, and Ernst hesitated to agree to the diplomat's proposal, but in his reply he hoped that the diplomat would be careful not to do the wrong thing.

Ernst only talked about many things, and when it came to foreign affairs, he was much more familiar with foreign affairs, and it was clear what to do and what could be done, and the diplomat who received Ernst's reply was completely relieved, and he began to prepare his own plan, which was very beneficial to the Russian Empire.

Before Mr. Sun entered Yanjing, Admiral Konstantin's reply had also arrived in Yanjing, and like Ernst, he expressed great interest, and Ernst had agreed that he naturally did not have any opinion here, but this matter was not so easy to do, and a carelessness might be a big crisis.

The diplomat's plan is actually very simple, that is, he is ready to borrow the matter of Japan's 600,000 army to directly force the Yanjing government to publicly admit that the territory now occupied by the Russian Empire belongs to the Russian Empire, belongs to the Four-Power Alliance, and belongs to Ernst, which is a public admission!

Of course, there are concessions in this matter, and the bottom line for diplomats is a 300-year concession, until 300 years when these lands are returned, and for these 300 years it will belong entirely to the Russian Empire. The diplomat thinks that his bottom line, the Yanjing government is very likely to agree, after all, as long as it does not provoke public anger, the Yanjing government will not care so much. Whatever cedes or does not cede land, as long as the interests are in their own hands, everything else does not matter, this is the attitude of the warlords.

If ceding a piece of land can completely prevent the disaster of Japan, then the Bong family will do everything in their power to facilitate it, because only then can he be assured of the world. The mutual containment of the Russian Empire and Japan was undoubtedly in the best interests of the Bong Department.

Mr. Sun is still on the way, Mr. Diplomat's plan has not yet been implemented, and at this time the Mr. Mussolini in the Kingdom of Italy has begun his new moves, Mussolini won a landslide victory in the previous elections, and now Mussolini has firmly controlled the state power, Mussolini can't help but start his new moves.

Mussolini was a politician with a great sense of crisis, so he had to strengthen his rule, and it was necessary to change the cabinet to all the people of his own party, in fact, Mussolini did the same, attacking opponents and supporting his own people, and in just over a month, the cabinet of the Kingdom of Italy was all fascists.
