Only halfway through his words, Chen Moran took out a few pages from the suitcase on the side.

"Twelve years!"

Holding the pages in his hand, Chen Moran slowly spit out a few words.

"Since Russia decided to build the Trans-Siberian Railway twelve years ago, the contradictions between Russia and Russia have begun to intensify, and I have been anxious about the start of the Trans-Siberian Railway, which can not only communicate the desolate hinterland of the Russian Empire with the more desolate frontiers, but will also be greatly conducive to the future mobilization of the Russian [***] team, change the balance of power in the Far East, and make the northeast and Korea have no military superiority at all. So what Ben saw from the other end of the cold steel tracks of the Trans-Siberian Railway was the shaggy shadow of a Russian bear. ”

A book often tells people a lot of things, those old magazines in the car have brought Chen Moran an unimaginable wealth, and there are also some magazines that tell him a lot of history that he doesn't know very well, and even tell him what to do like a guiding light.

One of the old magazines had a Russian War album in one of those old magazines, and it was only after An Kaidi participated in the rally that day that Chen Moran recalled what he had seen in the magazine, and in the first few days after returning home, he almost kept himself locked in his room, reading the Russian War album word by word.

"Nicholas II was stabbed by the police when he passed through Vladivostok when he was crown prince, and this knife constantly reminded Nicholas II of his police, hatred and hostility towards Russia, and directly affected Russia's policy when he became Tsar!"

Holding the map map on the table with both hands, Chen Moran picked up the pencil and drew a line on the map.

"Europe has been the main battlefield of Russian expansion for a hundred years, and because of the defeat in the Crimean War and the rise of Germany, Russia's expansion in Europe and West Asia has been frustrated, and the Tsarist Axe has set its sights on the East. After successfully seizing Central Asia and the Heilongjiang and Ussuri River valleys, Russia further wanted to occupy Northeast China and Korea and the entire northern part of China. Russia's power in the Far East reached its peak through the intervention of the three powers to return Liao, the construction of the Eastern Railway and the Trans-Siberian Railway, the establishment of the Russian-Chinese Dosheng Bank, and the control of Korea. Russia's policy in the Far East clashed sharply with its continental policy, and the expansion of Russian power caused great unease in Britain. In the face of Russia's rapid expansion in the Far East, he vigorously expanded his armaments and vowed to avenge the intervention of the three countries and return the revenge to Liao. At the same time, in the midst of a long period of balance-of-power diplomacy, the British political axe was also very disturbed by Russia's excessive slump in the Far East. In February last year, after many trade-offs, in order to curb Russia's expansion, Britain said that the two countries concluded the "Treaty of Alliance" last year! ”

Picking up the pieces of paper again, there was a copy of several analytical clauses of the "Anglo-Chinese Alliance Agreement" that Chen Moran copied from the book.

"The last clause of the treaty stipulates that it is valid for five years, that is, before the end of January 1907 at the latest, it is said that the war between Russia and Russia must be fought as soon as possible! I expect this war to start next year! ”

Niu Yongjian and Lan Tianwei have just returned from Yueben, and they naturally know that Chen Moran is not alarmist, in fact, in Yueben, you can often see people making speeches or articles, advocating that Russia will fight, and those Yueben also believe that Asian countries have been invaded by European and American powers and have become colonies one after another. Russia, which has a strong national strength, began to extend its claws to China and the Korean Peninsula, and even to the country itself, with the expansion of Russia, it was already in a precarious situation, so it was necessary to cut off Russia's bear paw in a hurry.

"Sir, do you mean that after the outbreak of the Russo-Russian War, when Russia was unable to look east, it launched an uprising?"

A few hours ago, Mr. Niu Yongjian asked rhetorically, first mentioning that the Russians occupied the northeast, and then that the Liberation Army must be expanded as soon as possible to launch an uprising next year. Now it seems that the reason is the possible outbreak of the Russo-Russian War.

"That's right!"

Chen Moran nodded, his eyes showing a little triumph.

"Russia is very ambitious for China, and they have always dreamed of realizing the dream of yellow Russia, and as for their mainland dream, they have been dreaming of the mainland for thousands of years."

Just when Lan Tianwei opened her mouth and was about to say something, Chen Moran waved his hand.

"Don't say anything about the same language, the same species, and mutual support, say that my ambitions for China are greater than Russia, Russia wants North China, but what I want is the whole of China, Russia is the enemy, and I say that the book is also the enemy! The real goal of the so-called "same language, the same species" is just a disguise, and the real goal of the book is not to build China into a modern country with the same kind as the book, but to realize the dream of the Great Asian Empire with China as the main and China as the servant! ”

Whether it is Lan Tianwei or Niu Yongjian, they all have a certain good impression of Yueben, thinking of the "praise" and expectations of those international students published in the newspaper, Chen Moran stared at Lan Tianwei.

"And don't forget the Lushun Massacre!"

A few words, only made Lan Tianwei, who originally wanted to say something, dumbfounded, and Chen Moran continued.

"Never pin your hopes on the so-called friendly countries, how many of those friendly countries are not harboring evil intentions! Just like the Russo-Russian war that will break out next year, it will be almost a great shame for us. This is a dog-eat-dog war on Chinese soil, and the war has not only brought great disasters to the Chinese people, no matter who wins this war, it will be the prelude to their all-out war of aggression against China. ”

Looking at the map on the table, Chen Moran seemed to see that Russia and Russia were wantonly ravaging the Chinese people, destroying towns and villages, and massacring innocent people in this war, but what could he do?

"For us, this is an opportunity, because the Boer War has shown Britain its weakness, and Britain is likely to intervene in five or five percent, and the United States is unlikely to intervene. Only Russia and Russia will definitely send troops to intervene! However, the war between Russia and Russia can change everything, and the direct participants are Russia, but Britain, Germany, and even the United States and France are all involved, and Russia is trapped in the northeast battlefield and is unable to look south, and the same countries are also unable to intervene, this is a great opportunity! ”

"However, if war breaks out between Russia, it is the best time to revolt......

Xiao Xinren, who had been silent, stood up at this time.

"But you mentioned the Northeast earlier!"

Pointing to the map on the desktop, Xiao Xinren's eyes showed a little worry.

"We launched an uprising, the real enemy is the new army in various places, especially the self-strengthening army and the new army of the six towns of Beiyang, as for the new army in the provinces, it is still in the process of training, the Xinchou treaty arms ban, so that although the new army is trained but the armament is insufficient, but even so, how big is China?"

When he asked this question, his eyes looked at Chen Moran.

"Once the uprising, we not only have to send troops to the Northern Expedition, but also need to go west, Hubei, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, Zhili all the way through, it will take at least a year! Anything can happen during the year! Suppose we hit Zhili, the Manchus suddenly moved to Guanwai! With the support of Yueben or Russia, they issued a "declaration on leaving the customs" to establish a new Qing state outside the customs, and at that time, what should we do? If it continues, it may face the interference of Ben or Russia, and if it does not fight, it will lose the Northeast! ”

Xiao Xinren's concerns are also Chen Moran's concerns, the reason why he mentioned the Northeast is precisely because of this concern, saying that the Russian War is the best time, but this opportunity carries risks, and the risks are exactly what Xiao Xinren is worried about, if he is not careful, he may fight a Manchukuo.

"No matter who supports this Great Qing State at that time, in the end, it will cause a result, either we continue the Northern Expedition, or we will lose the Northeast, I said before, the lands outside the Guanxi must not be lost, otherwise you and I are national sinners!"

He frowned and looked at the three people in front of him.

"So, now the problem comes back to the question we had at the beginning, how can we recover the inside of the customs and ensure that there is no loss outside the customs!"

Slightly owed, Chen Moran sat back in his seat, looking at the three people in front of him, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, he had enough of this cautious rebellion. Rebellion is a technical task, agitating a group of people, driving a group of people, and coercing most of them, seemingly simple three steps, but it can be implemented but there are many problems, at least until now I have not had a suitable staff team that can be trusted. Except for these few people in front of you, can outsiders be trusted? Rebellion is at the risk of killing the head, not to mention that Chen Moran still wears shoes to rebel, so he naturally needs to be extra careful.

"So, I need to go to the Northeast alone!"

As for the confusion of the three people, Chen Moran went on to explain.

"Take a group of troops to the northeast to resist Russia!"

"Anti-Russian?"

"That's right, only a small group of troops will be brought to go, maybe only one regiment, to carry out guerrilla warfare in the northeast and establish a base area!"

Staring at the three people in front of him, Chen Moran said in an unquestionable tone.

Guerrilla warfare is not new, all three of them have studied military backgrounds, and naturally know that in the Napoleonic era, the Spanish partisans fought bravely and hopelessly to defend Spain, but they are very unfamiliar with the base areas.

"This is a northward detachment, in the name of rejecting Russia into the Northeast, Russia only has 100,000 troops in the Far East, and scattered in China and Russia millions of square kilometers of area, the strength seems to be strong, but it is only stationed in large and medium-sized cities, for many areas in the Northeast, in fact, it is beyond the reach of the whip, the northward detachment of the Liberation Army is in the area where the Russian army is weak and the terrain is complex, to establish an armed base area, as long as we take root there! There is power! ”

Pointing to a blank space in the middle of the Northeast topographic map, Chen Moran continued.

"This is the Xing'an Mountains, and the complex mountains and forests can provide good cover for the troops, and the troops can rely on the forests to fight like the beards in the northeast."

Then he pointed to the place below the Xing'an Mountains and continued.

"This area is basically the control area of the Qing political axe, and if the base is built here, you can get ammunition, medicine, and even military pay and personnel replenishment from the pass, and this is far away from the Russian army's garrison......"

Chen Moran, who was standing on the side of the map, looked at the Xing'an Mountains on the map and seemed to see the establishment of that base area.

"We only need to hold on for one year, and once a war breaks out in Russia, the pressure will be immediately relieved, and in this year's time, we only need to use the guerrilla warfare principle of the enemy advancing and retreating, the enemy stationed in our harassment, the enemy tired and I fight, and the enemy retreating and I pursue, then it is absolutely no problem to persist!"

While Chen Moran was making his comments on "guerrilla warfare," Xiao Xinren, Niu Yongjian, and Lan Wei were staring at the map, their eyes scanning all directions of the map from time to time.

"After the start of the Russian-Russian War, when the main force of the Russian army is pinned down by the Russian army, the northbound detachment can attack from the Xing'an Mountains and recapture this area!"

The hand drew a circle on the map, Chen Moran squeezed out a sneer on his face, and when he sneered, the hand holding the pencil drew another line on the map. This is the solution he came up with after several days of repeated consideration, and it is a simple solution, but it is also quite risky.

"At that point, it can be said that the overall situation has been decided!"

"It's a very bold plan."

Not bold, it is simply bold, this northbound detachment is simply going to the mouth of the Northeast Tiger to grab food, staring at the map, Xiao Xinren asked again.

"However, this plan needs a suitable troop commander!"

"Do you have a good candidate?"

The waves on the sea hit, Lin Yanxin felt the waves push him quickly and violently to the shore, almost at the moment when the waves hit, he held his breath and raised the log soaked in sea water high above his head with the command.

As the third batch of students of the Whampoa Sports Academy, he must complete basic infantry training before graduation, and only after completing these trainings can he get out of the army and become an officer like everyone else.

"If a soldier can do it, a non-commissioned officer must do it, and if a non-commissioned officer can do it, an officer should do it even more!"

"Lift!"

"Ahh 250……”

With a roar in his voice, at least two hundred kilograms of garden trees were lifted high again. The training on Hell Island is equal to everyone, whether it is an officer or a soldier, Lin Yanxin did not enjoy any special treatment because he was an officer.

Just as they were training, a communications soldier ran over, and after he said a few words to the training non-commissioned officer, the non-commissioned officer glanced at Lin Yanxin, who was training.

"Lin Yanxin!"

"Yes!"

When Luo Yue was swallowed by the waves, the evening glow reflected the red sea, the night wind swept across the sea, the cool blow, Lin Yanren kicked the sand back and forth on the beach, in the afternoon, after Mr. talked to him, he had been hesitating, what he hesitated was not to carry out that task, but whether he should let Yanxin go with him.

Lin Yanxin, who ran to the beach, stood upright and gave a military salute at the same time.

"Sir!"

Lin Yanren returned the salute and stared at the little brother who had become a little strange in front of him, he was the youngest of the five brothers of the Lin family, and he was also the most favored little brother in the family, was it really appropriate to take him along? Mr. Risk has made it very clear in this mission, the line between life and death!

"Old Five, there are no outsiders here! No need to ......"

"Report to the commander, there are no relatives or friends in the army, please respect yourself, commander!"

Lin Yanxin's answer almost didn't make Lin Yanren bite his tongue, is this his little brother? When he saw the smile in Yanxin's eyes, he took a step forward and slammed Lin Yanxin's chest.

"You guy!"

"Big brother! You're really heavy, I'm your own brother! ”

Screaming in pain, Lin Yanren rubbed his chest and said with a smile.

Dear brother!

The words of the fifth brother only made Lin Yanren stunned, the five brothers of the Lin family were the first to join the Restoration Society, and by the way, they took Yanyi, Yanli, Yanzhi, and Yanxin over, Yanyi and Yanli went back to the province to run a branch school, but Yanzhi and Yanxin entered the Liberation Army, Yanzhi will definitely go, he is his own company commander, but what about Yanxin? Do you want him to go too?

The gentleman allowed him to select the best officers and soldiers in the entire Liberation Army, and the first thing that came to his mind was the fifth child.

"I'm leaving the island!"

Sitting on the rocks by the beach, Lin Yanren opened his mouth and said softly.

"Big brother, are you going to the mainland on a mission?"

"Yes! Take the troops with you! ”

"Lead the troops, big brother!"

Lin Yanxin was taken aback by the eldest brother's words, and looked at the eldest brother with wide eyes.

"Big brother, is the Liberation Army going to make a move......

Shaking his head, Lin Yanren cast his eyes on the sea.

"This time it's not in the name of the Liberation Army!"

"That's it!" glanced at the eldest brother strangely, and then Lin Yanxin said.

"Is it a reconnaissance mission, or is it a proofreading mission?"

"It's going to war!"

"Take me with you! Eldest brother! ”

Lin Yanxin looked at the eldest brother seriously, from childhood to adulthood, the eldest brother took the four of them to listen to the legend of the Ming heroes, and told them that one day they would also expel the Tartars, and then the eldest brother pulled them to Huangpu, and now the eldest brother is going to fight again, so naturally he can't be left behind.

"If you go, our Lin family may be able to have three loyal martyrs!"

"The old man may be looking forward to that day!"

Lin Yanxin's words have no filial piety at all, but he is also telling the truth, the old man used to say that the Lin family has been loyal to the martyrs for generations, and he has been ashamed to see his ancestors with his beard and beard, if he is a Hu official, he will have no face to see his ancestors, so although the Lin family has been studying for generations, he is never for the sake of entering the office, if he really knows that the third brother is to restore the Han people, maybe he will really laugh.

"You think clearly, if you really go, on the battlefield, there are no brothers, if you don't obey the military order, I will be the first to kill you!"

Lin Yanren said in a cold tone.

"My head is hard in the back, I can't nail a bullet, I want to die! Can only be played from the front! ”

Lin Yanxin stood up and replied with a straight face.

"Sir! There is only military discipline in the army, I know this truth, Yanxin only has military orders in his eyes! ”

The flush of the setting sun swayed on Lin Yanxin's young face, Lin Yanren glanced at him a few times, and finally sighed.

"Write a letter to the old man!"
