Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang, these are all characters with eyes above the top! How many people in Beiyang can get into the eyes of the two of them? Now he is actually a brother and sister to Chang Ruiqing, a rising star!

Chang Ruiqing hurriedly beckoned the two of them to have tea in the room, and he followed in. In fact, he is the groom's official today, so he can greet him as usual, and there is no reason to let the groom's official accompany him to chat. However, the warlord Changda didn't care about this, and the opportunity to make friends with Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang could not be missed.

There were also a few Beiyang officers in the room, all of whom were from the garrison and the War Department around Beijing, among which Li Jinbao, the commander of the 13th Division, was also there. Wu Shi and Zhao Zhen were also here, talking with a group of Beiyang officers, and when they saw Chang Ruiqing and them walking in, they all stood up and saluted, and after a long period of greetings, they each sat down.

"Brother Yaoru," at this time, he saw Wu Peifu with a stern face, and nodded to Chang Ruiqing: "I heard that my brother said to Xu Youzheng and Duan Zhi that he would take advantage of the civil strife in Russia to send troops to recover Outer Mongolia, and let the supplementary regiment of the 31st Mixed Brigade join the army to recover Outer Mongolia, is there such a thing?" ”

Chang Ruiqing suddenly realized when he asked, no wonder Wu Peifu could look down on himself as a junior, it turned out to be because of this. He nodded solemnly: "This is indeed the case, the revolution in Russia is a golden opportunity for us, and if we do not recover Outer Mongolia at this time, we will regret it in the future." ”

Wu Peifu smiled and said coldly: "But why do you propose to borrow strength from Japan?" Letting the Japanese intervene in Outer Mongolia is not the front door to drive the tiger and the back door to lead the wolf? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, but Chang Ruiqing smiled helplessly: "Japan's wolf, we will come to Outer Mongolia if we don't recruit them!" Rather than that, it is better to borrow strength from them and take back the outer Mongolia as soon as possible...... The Russian Revolution will not go on forever! So we won't have too much time left. ”

Wu Peifu frowned slightly, as if he was carefully analyzing Chang Ruiqing's answer. If there is no support from the Japanese, the affairs of Outer Mongolia will still be delayed, and it will definitely not cut through the mess quickly, and don't want to do it in two years! By then, perhaps the civil strife in Russia would have been over...... Chang Ruiqing's answer has some truth, but it is not particularly sufficient.

Feng Yuxiang suddenly sighed and interjected: "Why does it have to be Japan? China can have its own way of doing things, and the British and American powers can also make contacts, so why bother to find an Oriental hegemon who is so close and whose ambitions are well known to passers-by? The truth of long-distance friendship and close attack, Brother Yaoru won't not understand, right? ”

Listening to Feng Yuxiang's words, most of the people in the room nodded their heads, as if they were quite in agreement. Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly in his heart: "If the British and American powers can really count on it, this national government will not go to Taiwan!" Everyone knows that you, Feng Yuxiang, are now pro-American, and often go to the church of the American-Israeli Association to listen to lectures, but why did you kiss the Soviet Union again in the future? It's not that the aid of the Americans is unreliable! ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly, glanced at the expressionless Wu Peifu again, shook his head and said, "General Huanzhang, it is precisely because the Japanese have ambitions for China that they are willing to invest!" Britain and the United States have little ambition for China, so they will not invest much, and their response is even more sluggish...... As for Outer Mongolia, they may have to think more about Russia's attitude! If we turn to Britain and the United States for help, they will not support us to do it before the end of the European war! But if you wait until the end of the European competition, whether there is a chance or not is a matter of two words! ”

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and glanced at everyone in the room by the way, including Wu Shi, all of whom were hesitant. Chang Ruiqing smiled and continued: "Maybe you feel that the civil strife in Russia may not end so soon, and maybe they will not be finished by the end of the European war!" If that's really the case...... It's all the more important for us to contact Japan! The reason why China is coveted by Japan is because of civil strife! If Russia also breaks down, the Far East and Eastern Siberia have 6.8 million square kilometers of land, sparse population, and abundant resources, can the Japanese not be jealous? We should also lead Japan there...... If Japan and Russia form a mortal enmity, we China will be able to sit back and relax! ”

Wu Peifu nodded, and then looked at Chang Ruiqing's eyes, and there was a rare trace of appreciation. At present, the leaders of China's various armies, as well as political figures, really don't dare to calculate the great powers like this! But he still didn't completely let go: "There is no force in Outer Mongolia, and if you want to recover there, my Sixth Brigade will be enough!" The Japanese can get rights and interests from Outer Mongolia just by giving lip service, which is really a loss-making deal! ”

Chang Ruiqing raised his eyes and swept Wu Peifu, and asked rhetorically: "Outer Mongolia is easy to take and difficult to defend, and the land is vast and poor, so it can't support the army, and there is no future for development...... Are you, General Ziyu, willing to conquer Mengjiang forever? Without waiting for Wu Peifu to answer, he sighed again: "Brother, I don't want to!" Otherwise, a mixed brigade of brothers is enough to keep this territory, and there is no need to borrow the momentum of Japan! ”

Wu Peifu was silent, even if he was Kenyong in Mengjiang, it was impossible for Cao Kun to agree to throw the Sixth Brigade in a place like Outer Mongolia where birds don't! As for Feng Yuxiang, he also lowered his head and did not speak. It's easy to talk about beauty, but it's not fun to be in Outer Mongolia for a lifetime. The target of his and Lu Jianzhang's current plan is the Anhui Overseer! Not all of Outer Mongolia is ......

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly and changed the topic: "General Ziyu and General Huanzhang, both of them are my predecessors in Beiyang and leaders in the army, and this southern expedition to unify China is naturally indispensable for two generals...... When we are reunified in China, are we still afraid of the ambitions of the Japanese? Even if the rights and interests are given away now, there is always a way to take them back! I wonder what you two think? ”

"That's nature!" Feng Yuxiang is categorical. He is the first bird of the "Lord and faction" in Beiyang in history, and I don't know if there is a mind of Lord and Peace at the moment?

"I hope so!" Wu Peifu smiled deeply, as if he was not interested in the Southern Expedition. There was a faint look of worry in his eyes, he had been on the front line of the battle against the southwestern forces in the past few years, and it could be said that he would not be able to serve, and he could not be clearer about the strength of the southwestern army.

Although they are inferior to the Beiyang Army in general, the gap in combat power between the two sides is gradually narrowing! Moreover, the most powerful in the Beiyang Army is only the five divisions trained in the late Qing Dynasty (the first town of Beiyang is the Eight Banners old soldiers, which is not used), and now they have been stationed in various places and have their own territory, and most of them have begun to enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty! Among them, the second and sixth divisions are controlled by Feng Guozhang's cronies, one is stationed in Hubei, and the other is in Jiangsu, and they will definitely not really contribute. Although the Fourth and Fifth Divisions were in the hands of Duan Qirui's people, were they willing to leave Shandong and Zhejiang to fight in the southwest? Now the rich men in the Beiyang are all rich, but in the southwest, there are mostly barefoot poor bastards! Let the rich man fight the poor, no matter how you look at this battle, it's a bit hanging!

Inside the room, the three Beiyang brigade commanders had already finished talking about business, and when they were about to compliment each other and wear high hats, they heard a voice from someone outside: "Deputy Commander of the Army, Lieutenant General Xu Shuzheng has arrived!" Major General Yamanishi Rihachiro of the Japanese Legation in China has arrived! ”

Rihachiro Sakanishi and Xu Shuzheng are here together? Chang Ruiqing smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that he can't escape a pro-Japanese hat! But it's not good to be lazy, so he hurriedly arched his hand at a room of distinguished guests and said, "Accompany less." He smiled and walked to the door.
