In front of the palace of Kulen Bogdor Khan, soldiers separated a long wall of people with rifles and bayonets, and tens of thousands of devout Mongols crowded outside the cordon, staring at the open crimson gate with prayer wheels in their hands, and their eyes showed irresoluble anger.

Xu Shuzheng, who had just returned from Irkutsk on errands, glanced at the crowd and walked into the palace with a gloomy face. The sound of footsteps echoing through the narrow passageway, as if to herald a turbulent period for the grassland. When he reached his bedroom, several Security Service officers in Cullen were still searching, carefully checking every corner to find clues. Because they didn't wait for the clean-up order, the two corpses were entangled next to the extinguished brazier, and the low temperature froze the corpses so hard that they were completely solidified, but because of this, the scene was well preserved. Jebu was horrified that he had been pierced through the abdomen with a sharp weapon, while the other was wearing the uniform of a Weft second lieutenant, and he had also been stabbed in the chest, and the hand holding the knife was still Jeb's! Whoever sees this scene will probably think that this Wehrmacht officer came to kill Jebu, but was turned against and both died.

"The deceased was a private of the 124th Division, the uniform and pass were stolen from the military management department and then disguised as an officer to deceive the guards at the door, and Jebu's knife was forged after he stabbed it himself." The officer of the Security Bureau handed over the initial report to Xu Shuzheng, and continued with a solemn face: "The first person to be discovered is the lama next to Jebu, this person's whereabouts are now unknown, judging from the outside situation, it should be that he deliberately spread the false news that we killed Jebu, which attracted the protests of the herdsmen. ”

"!" Xu Shuzheng slapped the wall hard, this is obviously a deliberate planting, but it's still unclear! Because after all, this fake second lieutenant is indeed from the 124th Mixed Division, which temporarily lives in Cullen. What made him even more uneasy was that this incident actually happened after he implemented military management, and if he made a big fuss, his future would be ruined! The officers of the Security Service didn't care about him being so angry, everyone knew how important Jebu's position in Mongolia was, otherwise the central government would not have kept him to this day, but this man died right under his nose! The anger of millions of believers can be imagined.

After venting his anger with a punch, Xu Shuzheng also calmed down a lot and asked, "Has the bottom of this scum been carefully investigated?" Who will be behind the scenes? ”

"We are already investigating, and we have also sent a telegram back to the customs to assist in checking his details, but from past experience, it may be difficult to find out the backstage. Based on current inferences. Most likely, the Mongol rebels, Russia or Japan are behind the scenes! The officer continued: "I think the most important thing now is how to stabilize the situation!" In winter, it is difficult for troops to move out to blockade it, so when spring begins, the news will definitely spread throughout the grassland. With this news, the Mongolian rebels will definitely fight the banner of revenge, and the power will increase a lot, although Russia and Japan will not make a clear move, they will never want to see Mongolia smoothly and smoothly integrate into our Republic of China, so general, I am afraid you have to prepare in advance. ”

Xu Shuzheng's head hurts. The location of Cullen is too important. Especially related to the safety of the Trans-Siberian Railway, this line is now the only way for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and laborers to return home, if the Mongol rebels take this opportunity to strengthen and disrupt the situation, I am afraid that the section from Chita to Lake Belga will not be peaceful! At present, he has 2 mixed divisions in his hands, which seem to have more than 40,000 people, but in fact, after the beginning of spring, the 123rd division will go to the Russian Urals to stand by. Even if the 124th Division remains, it will be very difficult to hold hundreds of kilometers of railway lines with one division and two National Guard brigades.

Just as he had a headache, bad news came again.

"Report! Chita Emergency Telegram: This morning, one of our trains carrying cotton clothes and sleeping bags had just left Chita when it was hit by a mine and exploded. The accompanying escort was also ambushed by the Mongolian Babu Zabu rebels, and more than 50,000 cotton clothes and quilts were all burned! ”

"Smack." Xu Shuzheng whipped his horsewhip on the wall with a crisp sound, and the soldiers and officers around him turned their heads to look, only to see a gloomy face that could almost drip water.

50,000 pieces of cotton clothes and cotton sleeping bags supporting Chinese workers were burned, and only 3 people survived a platoon of guards escorted by a car! Everyone is still injured! In the end, it was the expulsion of the rebels by passing Russian troops that saved them. First, the Wehrmacht killed Jeb, and then the rebels who had been hiding in the Siberian region of Russia for nearly two years brazenly attacked the railway! The two successive events are a clear reminder that the northern grasslands will enter a period of turmoil.

Seeing that the country was thriving, but the north began to be unstable, so even Feng Guozhang in the conference room of the General Staff was so angry that he slapped the table with an old face: "What the hell is this Xu Shuzheng doing!" Can't even look at a section of the railway? ”

"Huafu dissipates his anger first." Sa Zhenbing comforted him and said, "It's not his fault, Chita only has the right to assist in defense in Russia." As long as they don't do anything, we don't have a problem. Besides, now that the snow in the north is closing the road, it is difficult for him to even be unable to move the cavalry. ”

"The railway brigade is on standby in Changchun, and in my opinion, they should immediately negotiate with the Russians to escort the train. Ensure the safety of the Chita-Irkutsk railway. ”

"If we don't want to add a few more National Guard brigades to the past, it's really impossible to let the Northeast Theater transfer a division."

"It's too late! At the beginning, the scale of our troop dispatch was negotiated with Russia, and they were originally afraid of this matter, and now I am afraid that they will never agree to increase our troops. Even if the report can be sent to St. Petersburg and then back, it will take at least three or four months. ”

"So what to do? Do you watch the rebels move the railway? ”

Everyone, you say a word, but Yang Qiu always looked at the map and frowned silently, Song Ziqing glanced at him and said, "Actually, I don't think the problem of this attack is very big. We are not the only ones who want to use the Trans-Siberian Railway, the British and French prisoners of war have to return here, and seventy percent of the weapons ordered by Russia from the United States have to go ashore in Vladivostok. Last month alone, 100,000 rifles and 100 million rounds of ammunition were shipped to the Urals, so the Russian army will definitely do everything they can to protect it, and their daring to do it this time is nothing more than a demonstration to us. What worries me the most is. He glanced at everyone's gaze and finally stopped at the former: "If Nicholas I falls, I'm afraid it will be really troublesome!" ”

"Russia is finished. It can't be, right? "The 21 Paulding-class destroyers and 2 light cruisers have already made the Navy happy, so Sa Zhenbing is very unconvinced when he hears that Russia will be finished. On the contrary, Cai Yi, who had just returned from Kunming for the New Year, was very worried: "What Ziqing said is not wrong at all! Jiang Fangzhen and I have studied the telegrams sent back by Lu Zhengxiang in the past few months, and we can see from the telegrams that the domestic turmoil in Russia is even more severe than half a year ago, and the number of strikes and the number of participants have also increased several times. Shi Xiaolou also sent a telegram back yesterday saying that there have been several mutinies in the Russian army on the front line in Kiev and Minsk, and if they hadn't brought three times as many supplies when they went to China, I'm afraid they would have been in trouble. Although there are no official statistics. But according to him, 20,000 or 30,000 deserters are only a few, plus more than 100,000 negligent guns in the country are among the people! ”

"The biggest problem besides the guns is this snow!" Song Ziqing said in one sentence: "Russia has been particularly seriously affected this winter, and the trains from the Ural and Don regions producing grain to the front line and St. Petersburg can only run less than 50 pairs a day due to the snow disaster, which cannot alleviate the food shortage at all. Britain and France went to the North Atlantic to support all of them because of the influence of ice, the price of food in St. Petersburg had risen more than fivefold, and the voices of the people against the tsar's demand for an end to the war were rising. Nikolai's reign is not a big problem, but if he is ousted, it is difficult to say whether Russia will continue to fight! Even if the new government continues to fight, and when the snow melts in the spring, the whole of Russia, including Ukraine and the Don River basin, will be plunged into floods, and this year's summer grain production will be reduced. ”

These words made Feng Guozhang put aside the unfavorable news for the time being, and said in shock: "Isn't this supported by Britain and France?" Besides, Yue Peng didn't send a telegram back saying that there have been a lot of American observers in the Western Front Command in Paris recently, and even Pershing, the commander who fought in Mexico, has gone, and if the United States also participates in the war, it will definitely provide strong support. ”

"What about support?"

Cai Ye smiled bitterly: "Can the central government fall and there will be peace in the locality? ”

His words made everyone shut their mouths, a few years ago, a living example of the country was on the side, so if there is chaos in Europe, Siberia is not only a region like Siberia, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The withdrawal of troops and Chinese workers is not a big problem, it is really not possible, and it is still possible to take the line of Tomsk into Xinjiang, but if the defeated soldiers, rogue bandits, and the poor party in the east of Russia all rise up, the Mongolian rebels will inevitably grow several times, plus the matter of Zhebu, I am afraid that there are only a lot more people hostile to the Republic of China.

Yang Qiu listened to everyone's discussion silently, and his heart was also overturned. His original plan was to stabilize Jebu and use his influence to ensure a smooth transition in Mongolia, and then to implement a secular government structure and divide Mongolia into several provinces to fundamentally dismantle religious influence. In this way, in the future, he only needs to concentrate on dealing with the infiltration of the poor party to the east, but what he never expected is that Jebu will die!

It doesn't matter if he dies, I still wish he died. It's okay to blame yourself, but the problem is that he shouldn't and can't die right now! Because Mongolia is now a closed serf society, faith is very influential among ordinary herdsmen. In fact, Mongolia alone doesn't have to worry too much, but Russia is about to collapse! As Cai and Song Ziqing said, if you look at China in the Xinhai year, you can see that once the central government is in turmoil, such remote areas will definitely fall into civil strife. Hundreds of thousands of elite Japanese soldiers in the parallel world have been disgraced, and the army strength in their current hands is only slightly stronger than that of Japan.

As for supporting Kolchak to help suppress bandits, it is even more impossible to do it, with the current national strength of the Republic of China, that is, to reap the benefits, it must not be involved in the Russian civil war! But if Russia is not sent to sweep the Siberian region, then what about the Mongol rebels? Sitting back and watching it mingle with the poor party and other forces? That would be a greater threat in the future, but sending troops to Siberia to suppress bandits in a vast area would never be possible in a year or two. If the Russian Civil War ends, I am afraid that we will have to directly face the millions of Soviet Red Army that came out of the brutal war.
