Chapter 270: The Outer Mongolia Incident
Since the middle of October, Vladivostok, located in northeastern Siberia, began to snow, this winter came very early, the news from Japan made the Suidong army excited for a long time, the temple cabinet because of the domestic rebellion and foreign defeat and completely collapsed, the Taisho Emperor was seriously ill and bedridden and could not be a director, and the crown prince Hirohito regent, no wonder, Japan suffered such a rub but there was no movement, it turned out that there was a political struggle inside, it seems that Duan Qirui handed over Jinpu Road may not have suffered a dumb loss.
However, Wu Xiaoliang was most worried about the Suidong battleship that was still stranded on the beach of Temple Street, and if it was frozen in the sea water for a whole winter, this battleship would probably receive even greater losses.
However, Chen Shiying, Zhang Liangzuo, and Petrov all had reservations about Wu Xiaoliang's plan, because doing so would be tantamount to embarrassing the Japanese in front of the public and leading them to take more drastic actions.
In desperation, Wu Xiaoliang had no choice but to change the plan, and the task of the working group was adjusted accordingly, from repair and salvage to maintenance, and they only needed to be responsible for minimizing the damage to the Suidong ship during the freezing period of the seawater.
The Japanese arsonists in Beijing and Tianjin were just throwing another boulder into the undulating sea of China, although they splashed a lot of waves, but they were quickly drowned by the tense shape of the confrontation between the north and the south, and people selectively ignored an enemy invasion incident born in the capital, including the officers of Vladivostok who looked at this incident extremely indifferently, which made Wu Xiaoliang, who was bent on arousing the patriotic enthusiasm of the soldiers, feel powerless, and he was now more willing to be loyal to him as a major general commander than the soldiers with simple ideas of allegiance to the country.
A telegram from the 6th Army Headquarters broke Wu Xiaoliang's plan to prepare for Maodong in Vladivostok, and Xu Shuzheng, in the name of the commander-in-chief of the 6th Army, ordered Wu Xiaoliang to go to Beijing to report on his work.
"Weizhong must not go south, otherwise you may not be able to return to Suidong this time."
First, he was afraid that Wu Xiaoliang would not return, and there was a great chance that he would be born; second, he had vigorously extended the military committee system established in Temple Street to the First and Third Divisions, among which, the Third Division was quite smooth, but it encountered considerable resistance in the First Division, the old foundation of the Suidong Army, and officers at all levels were generally extremely disgusted with this kind of political work with the nature of supervising the army.
If, at the most critical moment in the army's work, Wu Xiaoliang, the supreme person in charge of the Suidong Army, leaves Vladivostok, then it is believed that this work will soon be abandoned halfway, so he cannot leave and must sit in Vladivostok.
However, just when the ink of an order for Wu Xiaoliang to go to Beijing to report on his work and transfer order was not dry, another piece of news that made Wu Xiaoliang unhappy came from Jilin, and Chen Yi had been expelled from the Outer Mongolian side by the pacification of Mongolia, which meant that the Beiyang government's plan to operate the withdrawal of Mongolia had failed, and at the same time, the Outer Mongolian side unilaterally announced the restoration of the status quo before the "Kyakhta Agreement" and continued to claim the "Great Mongolian State".
According to the information sent back by Chen Xiuyan from Mu Ling, the several accidents encountered by the Mongolian pacification envoy in Outer Mongolia were not coincidences, and there was a Japanese Nakasa figure during them, so he had every reason to suspect that the failure of the withdrawal of Outer Mongolia must have a great deal to do with the Japanese.
When he received Chen Xiuyan's letter about the Japanese having infiltrated Outer Mongolia, Wu Xiaoliang was very surprised, he did not expect that the hands of these Oriental dwarfs were so long and had been inserted into the Mongolian steppe.
"Mongolia's affairs are not beneficial to Suidong, and I don't think it's time to make a big deal this winter......
Fang Qidao not only disagreed with Wu Xiaoliang's report to Beijing in the south, but also opposed the Suidong Army's meddling in Outer Mongolia affairs, in his opinion, this is an act of grabbing food, the first thing that will taste is Wu Xiaoliang's quasi-old man, Zhang Zuolin's ambitions and ambitions are not small, and now he controls the three provinces of Feng, Ji and Hei, Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia are also regarded by him as his own backyard, if the Suidong Army sends troops to intervene, it will first have to pass Zhang Zuolin's pass, which is not easy to say.
The final result was that all the four executive members of the Military Commission clearly opposed the dispatch of troops to Outer Mongolia, but Wu Xiaoliang was still unwilling, so he secretly sent a telegram to Beijing, hoping that the Beijing Sixth Army Headquarters would issue an order, so that his dispatch of troops would become justified.
After Yin Chengfu learned about this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Weizhong is obviously the master of the army, but he has to engage in such a self-tied executive committee, but in the end, he restricts himself. ”
"Not really, the military council has undoubtedly strengthened his control over the army, and the military commander's control over the troops directly under him has been dispersed, such an old-fashioned method, I really doubt that he is from a political background, but this executive committee system is something I don't understand, anyway, the rules he set up by himself, can't contradict himself." Fang Qidao said it, laughing, it sounded like he wanted to see Wu Xiaoliang attack his shield with a spear.
The reply from the 6th Military Department was very simple: there was no need to send troops, only four simple words, which made Wu Xiaoliang very disappointed, and the matter of going south to Beijing was delayed in this way, and a few days later, news came from Beijing again that Xu Shuzheng led Chu Qixiang's Third Brigade had rushed to Outer Mongolia in the starry night.
Wu Xiaoliang was completely disappointed, according to the memory of his previous life, Xu Shuzheng almost bloodlessly subdued the palace lamas of Outer Mongolia after sending troops, and forced them to obediently announce the withdrawal of the rule and re-annex China.
"The lord sighs for the sake of outer Mongolia?"
The one who spoke was the director of the Material Deployment Division, Shantai Jize, who was also comfortable with this job in Yan Xishan's army, but he always thought that it was a big fortune and a small use, and what Taitai Jize really did was to be a vertical and horizontal leader in various complex forces, so although he was born as a businessman for generations, he was unwilling to inherit the family business, and finally jumped from Yan Xishan's army to Wu Xiaoliang's army, but he didn't expect to start his old business.
In the past few days, when he saw that Wu Xiaoliang was depressed and worried about the withdrawal of Outer Mongolia, he secretly decided to actively express his support for his actions, so that Wu Xiaoliang understood that he was on his side, and he was catching up with this good opportunity today, so he expressed his thoughts and thoughts.
"Why don't you send the cavalry regiment of Commander Li from the Eastern Railway to Outer Mongolia, echoing with General Xu in the south and north, so that Kulun will be just around the corner, and then the main seat will be able to occupy half of the credit for recovering the lost land."
How do you know that Wu Xiaoliang waved his hand and shook his head again and again, "This matter should not be mentioned again, Chief Xu will inevitably take Outer Mongolia without blood, and there is no need for us to waste money and go to Outer Mongolia for public tourism." ”
"Publicly-funded tourism...... What is publicly-funded tourism. ”
Yutai Jize was very depressed, and the horse's fart was actually slapped on the horse's leg.
