Chapter 146: The Northeast High-Level Military and Political Conference (I)

Shenyang City is also the original Shengjing City, many private buildings were destroyed in the war with Japan 2 years ago, so although the old town of Shenyang is called the old city, but the houses inside are demolished and rebuilt.

Lin Daxin's governors' offices in the four northeastern provinces were set up in a newly built mansion in the old city, and on 30 January, military and political dignitaries from all over the northeast rushed to the governor's mansion in Shenyang one after another.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, in the conference room of the Governor's Mansion of the four northeastern provinces, Lin Daxin sat directly above the conference room, and both sides of the conference room were full of military and political dignitaries under Lin Daxin's command.

Lin Daxin, who is 24 years old this year, is a little more mature, at least he no longer gives people a very tender feeling.

Chen Ergou, the commander of the Guards Division, walked up to Lin Daxin and whispered: "Principal, everyone has arrived, and we can have a meeting!" In addition, Jerson has returned from the United States and is now waiting for you at the Governor's Office! ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said, "You don't have to have a meeting here, go and help me entertain Jaelsen, and I'll see him after the meeting!" ”

Chen Ergou nodded and said, "Yes ★★.!" Headmaster! Then he turned and left the room.

Lin Daxin looked at the high-level military and political leaders in the Northeast in the conference room, and first asked Wu Peifu, the lieutenant general and division commander on the left, "The first division has arrived at Shanhaiguan, right?" What is the situation in Shanhaiguan now? ”

Among the division commanders of the integrated division of the Dingbei Army, four have now been promoted to lieutenant generals, and the other division commanders are still with the rank of major general. These four lieutenant generals are Wu Peifu, commander of the First Division, Ni Fan, commander of the Third Division, Jiang Yu, commander of the Fourth Division, and Wang Hongjun, the new commander of the Second Division, the former commander of the Fifth Division. There is also the division commander of the armored division, Zhao Hu, whose rank is also lieutenant general.

In addition, Chen Ergou, the commander of the Guards Division who had just left, was also promoted to the rank of lieutenant general by Lin Daxin. Wu Peifu and Jiang Chen, who have a very good relationship with Chen Ergou, persuaded Chen Ergou when the three of them were at a party. He is a lieutenant general and division commander, the name of this second dog is too unsightly, is it a name change.

Chen Ergou shook his head at that time and said, "No need to change it!" Our principal is used to calling Ergou, I changed my name, and the principal should be called unpleasant! ”

Wu Peifu and Jiang Chen looked at each other, and Chen Ergou deserved to be known as Lin Daxin's first iron loyalty.

Wu Peifu, who was in the conference room, heard Lin Daxin's question. He immediately stood up and replied, "Principal, our First Division was ordered to rush to Shanhaiguan from the Lushun area, and together with the Seventh Division, we were in charge of the Shanhaiguan defense area. I had rushed to Shanhaiguan 5 days ago. By the time our first division arrived at Shanhaiguan, the town of the Qing army's Wuwei army had already returned to Funing City! However, in order to prevent any other emergencies, Hu Desheng, the commander of the Seventh Division, did not rush over to attend this meeting and stayed in Shanhaiguan! ”

Lin Daxin nodded first. Then he frowned and said suspiciously: "What does the imperial court mean this time?" Could it be that you want to test my Lin Daxin's temper? ”

At this time, Li Kun, the director of the Military Intelligence Agency, stood up and said, "Principal." According to the information obtained by our military intelligence bureau, this time we want to enter Shanhaiguan, the town of the Wuwei Army is the third town, and the imperial court did not order the third town to enter our northeast, but Fengshan, the commander of the third town of the Wuwei Army, privately led troops to cross the Shanhaiguan Pass and enter the northeast. ”

Lin Daxin asked even more suspiciously: "What does that Fengshan want to do?" Does he want to rely on the strength of a town to defeat our northeast? ”

Lin Daxin's words made everyone in the conference room chuckle together.

Li Kun continued: "That Fengshan is the newly appointed new commander of the imperial court of the third town of the Wuwei Army, and the Wuwei Army with the third town said that he wanted to go back to the northeast to worship his ancestors!" According to intelligence, this person was of Manchu aristocratic origin. I have expressed my dissatisfaction with the principal many times before, and this time I just became the commander of the new army. You may want to find out the bad luck of our Dingbei Army! ”

Lin Daxin said indifferently: "There is no one among the Manchu nobles who doesn't hate me, hehe, as long as he doesn't attack Shanhaiguan, don't pay attention to him!" ”

Lin Daxin said to Wu Peifu again: "Your first division will be temporarily stationed in the Shanhaiguan defense area in the future, and together with the seventh division, you must firmly guard Shanhaiguan, and you can't let a single soldier of the imperial court enter our northeast!" ”

Wu Peifu nodded and said, "Principal, rest assured, with the two divisions we have reorganized to guard Shanhaiguan, it will be foolproof." Hehe, according to the strength of our 2 integrated divisions, if the principal gives an order, we can all go south directly to capture Beijing City! ”

Lin Daxin said with a smile: "As long as you guard Shanhaiguan!" Now those foreigners come to remind me every once in a while, let me maintain the stability of the Far East, and do not send troops to the Guannai, otherwise all the British, French, and Russians will send troops to support the Qing court! ”

Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the 12th Division of the Dingbei Army next to Wu Peifu, said viciously: "Those foreigners just eat radishes and worry lightly, what does our Chinese matter to them!" Our Dingbei Army is not afraid of them! Headmaster, as soon as you give an order, we will clean up the imperial court and foreigners together with the Dingbei Army! Let you stay in the Forbidden City! ”

Lin Daxin scolded with a smile: "Okay! Lao Zhang, you really should sew up this mouth, don't talk nonsense! Not to mention anything else, that is, your Russia on the edge of the Heilongjiang River has now gathered more than 100,000 troops in the Far East, and is still constantly mobilizing troops to the Far East, and is also sending a large number of warships to the Vladivostok base occupied by Russia. And Russia is still building the Trans-Siberian Railway day and night, maybe after the opening of this railway, Russia's million-strong army in Europe will be overwhelmed! ”

Zhang Zuolin said indifferently: "Principal, now that the Fourth Division has also been strengthened to Heilongjiang, our Dingbei Army already has 5 integrated divisions in Heilongjiang, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the Russians' Siberian Railway has not been completed, and our Dingbei Army will strike first and take back all the land that the Russians occupied us before!" ”

Lin Daxin nodded and said affirmatively: "There must be a big war between our four northeastern provinces and Russia, and I have also considered a preemptive strike against Russia!" But now the Japanese are rearmed, and many new warships have entered service with the Japanese Combined Fleet, according to intelligence from the Military Intelligence Agency. By the end of this year, Japan's rebuilt Combined Fleet would have 18 all-steel battleships and 12 large fast armored cruisers, plus a number of protective cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo ships. Although the displacement of the Japanese combined fleet still cannot catch up with us, it is not necessary for us to be much less. And they have 8 more all-steel battleships than we do. I'm worried about fighting the Russians first? Or do you want to fight the Japanese first? Forget that, let's officially meet now! ”

Lin Daxin looked at the military and political dignitaries under his command who gathered together, cleared his throat and said: "The New Year is coming soon, this time I will gather everyone here and convene a high-level military and political meeting of the four northeastern provinces, which is to summarize our work in the past two years." Let's arrange the work of this year! Let everyone present learn about the people's livelihood and the construction of the army in the four northeastern provinces. Let's start with the Navy and introduce the current situation of the Navy! ”

As Lin Daxin's words fell, he just fell. Sun Xitao, the commander of the Navy's First Fleet, who was wearing two gold stars on his shoulder, stood up, "President, colleagues, I represent the Northeast Navy today. That is, the original Navy Academy. Let's make a summary report on the work of the Navy in the past 2 years! ”

Sun Xitao continued: "At present, our navy has undergone another reorganization and has a total of five fleets. The First Fleet has six Frederick III-class all-steel battleships that have just been delivered by the Germans, which are called the 'German class' by our Northeast Navy, namely the Yade, Yude, Yide, Xuande, Zaide and Xiande. The First Fleet also has four improved all-steel battleships of the British Majesty class that have just completed sea trials and were built by the Weihaiwei Shipyard. These four warships are called 'city-class' all-steel battleships, namely Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin and Pyongyang. ”

"The Second Fleet has 14 ironclad battleships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, including the Flying Bear, the Flying Tiger, the Flying Eagle, the Flying Wolf, the Flying Fox, the Flying Leopard, the Flying Deer, the Flying Lion, the Sky Bear, the Sky Tiger, the Sky Aquila, the Sky Wolf, the Sky Fox and the Sky Leopard."

"The Third Fleet has 13 large armored cruisers with a displacement of about 7,000 tons, Xinghai, Xinglong, Xingye, Xinghe, Xingsheng and 8 'general-class' generals to eight generals. In addition, the Second Fleet has just entered service. Built at Weihaiwei Shipyard, 4 large fast armored cruisers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. They are the beginning of spring, the rain number, the stunning number and the spring equinox. ”

"The main warships of the Fourth Fleet have 1 medium fast armored cruiser and 15 fast protection cruisers. The main warships of the Fifth Fleet are 1 ironclad, 2 old ironclads and 12 fast protection cruisers. The fast protection cruisers of the Fourth and Fifth Fleets include the four ships that were just delivered by the Weihaiwei shipyard last year and the eight ships that were just delivered by the Dalian shipyard. They are all of the same model as the 8 fast protection cruisers delivered by the first batch of Weihaiwei Shipyard, which we call the anti-several class, and the displacement is 4,500 tons. Fang No. 1 to Fang No. 8 were assigned to the Fourth Fleet, and Fang No. 9 to Fang No. 20 were assigned to the Fifth Fleet. ”

"In addition, there are submarine detachments of Bayonet and Sharp Knife. In addition, our Northeast Navy also has 32 torpedo boats and 10 small shallow-water gunboats, which also belong to the Fourth and Fifth Fleets. At present, the displacement of the main warships of the five fleets of our Northeast Navy is more than 630,000 tons, and in terms of displacement alone, our Navy Academy Navy has become the second largest navy in the world after the British Royal Navy! ”

The entire conference room suddenly burst into applause, and the military and political dignitaries under Lin Daxin's command in the conference room couldn't help but applaud when they heard that the Northeast Navy had become the second largest navy in the world.

Lin Daxin smiled and pressed his hand down, and the applause in the conference room immediately stopped.

Sun Xitao paused and continued: "It is worth mentioning that the Dalian Shipyard has renovated the 14 ironclad battleships of our Second Fleet with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, and replaced all the old naval guns on the 14 ironclad battleships with new large-caliber rapid-fire naval guns produced by our own arsenal. ”

"The main guns on the 14 ironclad battleships were replaced with two double-mounted 40-caliber 305 mm rapid-fire main guns, and the secondary guns on them were also replaced by four to 14 single-mounted 40-caliber 155 mm rapid-fire secondary guns according to the situation of each ironclad battleship. In addition, some of the ironclad battleships with slower speed have been replaced, and the boilers on them have been replaced, so although these 14 ironclad battleships are not all-steel now, their speed and firepower are no weaker than those of all-steel battleships! ”

In the end, Sun Xitao said: "In addition, our navy also has a marine division of 25,000 men equipped with 360 amphibious armored vehicles, and three newly built naval base garrison brigades, which are divided into Weihaiwei base, Lushun base and Nanpu base. And the naval guns that were replaced from the ironclad battleships have been strengthened into the 3 bases, so that all 3 bases can be called fortresses with strong firepower! Including the cadets of the Shenyang Naval Academy, the entire Northeast Navy currently has 160,000 officers and men! Report complete! ”

"Whoa, whoa—" The entire conference room burst into applause under the leadership of Lin Daxin. (To be continued......)
