When Lin Daxin stood on the carriage to inspect the troops, the Japanese Minister Komura Shoutaro Kabakaba had small eyes, and then said in a low voice to the Russian Minister Bablofu beside him: "Dear Minister Mr. Pablofu, now the four northeastern provinces can be said to be the common henchmen of our two countries, after this Lin Daxin's grandiose military parade, I would like to invite Mr. Pablofu to talk about the issue of our two countries jointly defending the four northeastern provinces!" ”

Russian Minister Bablofu was frightened of the strength of the Northeast at this time, thinking about how to describe the military parade scene he saw today to several important ministers in Russia, after hearing Komura Shoutaro's words, he frowned and glanced at Komura Shoutaro, I don't know what the short Japanese minister in front of him has to say, he hesitated for a moment and said: "Yes, after returning to the Shenyang Hotel today, I welcome the Komura Minister to visit my room!" ”

Komura Shoutaro said with some excitement: "Okay, I will definitely visit Mr. Pablofu's room in a while!" ”

Lin Daxin stood on the carriage and inspected the 17 phalanxes, and then returned to the parade platform, at this time Lin Daxin found that his two sons were sitting in their mother's arms and learning to salute, which was very cute.

Lin Daxin smiled and touched the little heads of his two sons one by one, then stood in front of the microphone table and said into the microphone: "5↓↓+0 million fathers and villagers in the Northeast!" ”

After Lin Daxin began to speak, the entire Victory Square suddenly became silent, and more than 300,000 people almost held their breath to listen to the speech of their most respected Lin Daxin.

As for the broadcast of Tongguò Radio, tens of millions of people in the northeast listened to Lin Daxin's speech at the same time.

"Since 3 years ago. After Lin Daxin became the governor of the four northeastern provinces, with the joint efforts of the military and the people in the northeast, the entire four northeastern provinces have entered a stage of rapid development. It can be said that our four northeastern provinces have solved the problem of eating for 50 million people in northeast China! But that's not enough. I will lead everyone to a better life, to a richer life! ”

"At the same time, on behalf of the Dingbei Army and the Northeast Navy, I am here to assure the 50 million fathers and villagers in the four northeastern provinces that our army is confident that it will defeat an enemy who invades any interests in the northeast.

After speaking, Lin Daxin saluted the people who came to Victory Square to participate in the military parade. Lin Zhiyong and Lin Zhiqiang, who were holding Ding Xueshan and Du Juan's two daughters in their arms next to them, saw that their father saluted again, and they also raised their little arms in the same way, and then saluted as if they were like. Ding Xueshan and Du Juan, the two daughters, saw their son's cute appearance. At the same time, a charming smile leaked out. A French photojournalist happened to capture this scene, and later this photo of Lin Daxin and his son saluting together made the headlines of many national newspapers, and the photo was given a name. It's called the rise of a family.

After Lin Daxin's concise speech, the entire military parade set off a climax, more than 300,000 people waved the flags in their hands vigorously, and the slogans resounded through the sky.

"Long live the Dingbei Army!"

"Long live the Northeast Navy!"

"Long live Lin Dashuai!"

In the midst of this deafening slogan. The faces of the two representatives of the imperial court, Nie Shicheng and Yuan Shikai, became very gloomy. After watching this military parade in the Northeast, the two felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts, not to mention the Northeast Navy, which is known as the second navy in the world, just the strength shown by the Dingbei Army, which made the imperial court invest a lot of money over the years, and the new army trained became useless.

With the strong strength of the Dingbei Army, if you want to go out of Shanhaiguan, the 3 new armies and 13 towns trained by the imperial court will not be able to resist it at all. Maybe the whole mountain and river will change color.

Nie Shicheng smiled bitterly at Yuan Shikai and said, "After returning to Beijing City, I don't even know how to introduce Lin Daxin's military parade to the imperial court. Ugh—"

Nie Shicheng hoped in his heart that Lin Daxin could still scruple about his duty as a courtier. Stay honestly in the Northeast, otherwise your Beiyang New Army will bear the brunt.

Yuan Shikai also smiled bitterly, but a fine light erupted in his eyes, and at the same time, Yuan Shikai subconsciously looked at the live broadcast seat of the radio station, where a beautiful figure was sitting.

Then Yuan Shikai immediately retracted his gaze and looked at Lin Daxin again, envious of Lin Daxin's current position in his heart, or coveted the Dingbei Army, the Northeast Navy and the four northeastern provinces under Lin Daxin, full of thoughts of taking possession of himself.

Yuan Shikai secretly said in his heart: Daughter, all the qiē depends on you!

The envoys of 13 countries to the Qing Dynasty could not help but look at each other when they heard the continuous sound of slogans, and the British minister Ogner said to himself: "God! It's such a crazy place right now, a crazy crowd and a crazy commander who wants them not to do anything crazy! ”

After Lin Daxin finished the military parade, under the protection of the soldiers of the Guards Division, he left Victory Square and returned to the Governor's Mansion in Shenyang City.

Whenever the female announcer Liu Xiumei introduced the phalanx passing through the parade platform on the radio, the people in various places would let out cheers, echoing the cheers of the people on the scene from the tin loudspeaker.

Finally, when Lin Daxin's short speech ended, the slogan of Long Live Lin Dashuai sounded throughout the Northeast.

In the railway station square under construction in Shancheng Town, Hailong County, Jilin Province, Liu Xiumei said on the radio that after the military parade was successfully completed, Liu Caifu said excitedly to the whole family in a hoarse voice: "Cough - go!" Let's all family, cough - go down to the restaurant! ”

When Liu Caifu was cheering with the people in the square just now, he shouted hoarsely. Not only Liu Caifu's throat was hoarse, but his wife, 2 sons, daughter-in-law and youngest daughter all shouted hoarse, and the last family did not dare to eat salty things because of their hoarse throats.

Lin Daxin, who returned to the Governor's Palace, instructed Chen Ergou, the commander of the Guards Division: "You help me make an appointment with the Spanish Minister Costa, I want to meet with the Spanish Minister Costa alone!" ”

Chen Ergou nodded and said, "Yes, principal!" I'll arrange it right away! ”

Then Lin Daxin directly accompanied his 2 wives and 2 sons back to the backyard of the Governor's Palace.

After returning to the accommodation in the backyard. Ding Xueshan said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zhiyong and Zhiqiang to be so well-behaved today, I was worried that they would cry during today's military parade!" ”

Du Juan patted her chest and said, "It's finally over, and I've been worried that the two children are too young." What's going on, there are a lot of foreign ministers and foreigners taking pictures at the scene! ”

In the laughter of his two sons, Lin Daxin lifted his two sons to his shoulders again, laughed and said, "You don't look at whose sons Zhiyong and Zhiqiang are!" Ha ha! My son was born for the big scene! ”

After participating in the military parade, the representatives of the imperial court, Nie Shicheng and Yuan Shikai, and the envoys of the 13 countries to the Qing Dynasty all returned to the Shenyang Hotel. In the evening, there was a dinner party held for them at the Shenyang Hotel.

As soon as the Japanese Minister Komura Shotaro returned to the Shenyang Hotel, he hurriedly visited the Russian Minister Pablofu. In the room where Babrofu lived, Komura Shoutaro said to Bablofu: "The current four northeastern provinces have been operated by Lin Daxin in the past few years. It has become very powerful, which is not a good thing for us in Japan and Russia! ”

The Russian minister, Pablofu, asked bluntly: "What does the village minister mean?" ”

Komura Shoutaro Yan said: "We, the Great Japanese Empire, want to join forces with the Russian Empire to deal with Lin Daxin in the four northeastern provinces. ”

Bablofu frowned and asked, "Join forces with our Russian Empire?" How to join forces? ”

"We can jointly attack the four northeastern provinces, the navies of the two countries will unite to destroy the northeastern navy, and the Russian Empire will attack from the direction of Heilongjiang," Komura said. We, the Great Japanese Empire, attacked the Yalu River Province from Korea. Until the full occupation of the four northeastern provinces and the elimination of Lin Daxin! ”

Pablofu then asked, "And then?" How are the four northeastern provinces distributed? ”

Komura Shoutaro said: "Heilongjiang Province and Jilin Province in the northeast are assigned to Russia, and Mukden Province and Yalu River Province belong to our Great Japanese Empire!" ”

Bablofu chuckled lightly and said, "Minister of the small village, I personally approve of your mention very much!" But according to what I know about His Majesty the Tsar, His Majesty will not agree! ”

Komura Shoutaro asked suspiciously, "Why?" Could it be that His Majesty the Tsar was afraid that there was little territory assigned to Russia? We can discuss the issue of the site! ”

Babrofu said: "I will transfer your Japanese construction to His Majesty the Tsar, but whether the Tsar agrees or not, it is not up to me, the minister stationed in the Qing Dynasty, to influence it." As for the reason why I think His Majesty the Tsar can't agree, hehe. Your Japan is too weak, it's just a small country. Not qualified to be an ally of the Russian Empire! ”

Komura Shoutaro's face suddenly turned purple eggplant.

In the end, as Bablofu expected, when Pablofu relayed the situation of the military parade to the Japanese Minister Komura Shotaro about the construction of the Japanese base camp and reported it to St. Petersburg at the same time, Tsar Nicholas II glanced at the Japanese construction and smiled contemptuously, leaving the Japanese construction aside.

Tsar Nicholas II, based on the description of the military parade and the troops in the northeast by the Russian minister to the Qing Dynasty, Pablofu, convened a royal council and summoned the important ministers of the Russian Empire, the Minister of Finance, Witte, the Minister of the Navy, the Grand Duke of the Navy, and the Minister of War Kuropatkin, into the Kremlin.

Tsar Nicholas II frowned and said to several ministers: "I didn't expect that Lin Daxin in the Far East has developed so strong in just a few years, with an army of at least 600,000 and a Northeast Navy with a displacement that even exceeds that of our Russian Imperial Navy!" This is very detrimental to our Yellow Russia plans, what do you have to build a few people? ”

Archduke Vicky, Minister of the Navy, first said: "Your Majesty, the expansion plan of our Russian Navy has been completed, and the two all-steel battleships built in the United States, which we call the Letvizan-class, and the three all-steel battleships built in France, which we call the Borodino-class, have returned to Russia and are serving in the Baltic Fleet. The 2 Retvizan-class all-steel battleships built in China and the 13 Borodino-class all-steel battleships built in China have all entered the Russian Navy. ”

The Retvizan-class all-steel battleship has a standard displacement of 12,708 tons, a full load displacement of 12,912 tons, a length of 117.9 meters, a width of 22 meters, a draft of 7.6 meters, 2 triple expansion steam reciprocating engines, 14 boilers, a two-shaft drive, a speed of 18 knots, and a maximum coal load of 1,000 tons. Waterline armor 229 mm to 254 mm, deck armor 51 mm to 76 mm, main gun turret armor 254 mm, secondary gun turret armor 229 mm, conning tower armor 254 mm. It is equipped with 2 twin 40x caliber 305 mm rapid-fire main guns, 12 single 40x caliber 152 mm rapid-fire secondary guns, 20 75 mm rapid-fire guns, 24 47 mm rapid-fire guns, 6 37 mm rapid-fire guns, 6 381 mm torpedo tubes, and a crew of 521 people.

Borodino-class all-steel battleship with a standard displacement of 13,500 tons, a length of 114.6 meters, a width of 23.2 meters, a draft of 8 meters, 2 triple expansion steam reciprocators, 20 boilers, a two-shaft drive, a speed of 18 knots, and a maximum coal load of 2,000 tons. Waterline armor 100 mm to 190 mm, deck armor 51 mm to 76 mm, main gun turret armor 254 mm, secondary gun turret armor 190 mm, conning tower armor 254 mm. It is equipped with 2 twin 40x caliber 305 mm rapid-fire main guns, 6 twin 40x caliber 152 mm rapid-fire secondary guns, 12 75 mm rapid-fire guns, 6 381 mm torpedo tubes, and a crew of 600 people.

The armor of the Borodino-class all-steel battleships is much thinner than that of other all-steel battleships in the West, but this can reduce the cost, so Russia has built a large number of all-steel battleships of this class.

Archduke Vicky, Minister of the Admiralty, continued: "In addition, two French-built Joan of Arc-class large fast armored armored cruisers, and eight domestic imitation built, a total of 10 large fast armored armored cruisers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, have also entered service with the Navy. But most of the new warships were in the Baltic Fleet and the Black Sea Fleet, and the Pacific Fleet had only 4 all-steel battleships of the Retvizan class and 2 large fast armored cruisers of the Joan of Arc class. Chen believes that in order to implement the Yellow Russia plan, it is necessary to strengthen the strength of the Pacific Fleet! ”

Joan of Arc class large fast armored cruiser with a standard displacement of 11,092 tons, a length of 145.3 meters, a width of 19.4 meters, a draft of 8 meters, 3 three-expansion steam reciprocators, 36 boilers, three-shaft drive, a speed of 21.8 knots, and a maximum coal load of 1,970 tons. Waterline armor 40 mm to 152 mm, deck armor 38 mm to 51 mm, main gun turret armor 160 mm, secondary gun turret armor 120 mm, conning tower armor 160 mm. It is equipped with 2 40x caliber 193 mm rapid-fire main guns, 14 40x caliber 138 mm rapid-fire secondary guns, 12 47 mm rapid-fire guns, 4 381 mm torpedo tubes, and a crew of 580 people.

Although the Joan of Arc class large fast armored cruiser is known as an armored cruiser, its armor is very thin, and the naval guns on it do not have strong firepower, and the only advantage is that it is very fast.

War Minister Kuropatkin also said: "At the same time, we should continue to send more troops to the Far East, and before launching an offensive, the number of Russian troops in our Far East cannot be less than the number of the Northeast Dingbei Army." ”

Tsar Nicholas II nodded and agreed to continue to strengthen the Far Eastern Army and Navy, and Tsar Nicholas II asked the Navy to make a plan for a second naval expansion.

Tsar Nicholas II again asked Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte: "What happened to the Trans-Siberian Railway?" When will it be opened? ”

Chancellor of the Exchequer Witte said: "Because of the large number of Asian peoples, the speed at which the railway was being built was very fast, and at the current rate, the whole of Siberia would be open to traffic about the beginning of 1901!" ”

Tsar Nicholas II believed that after the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia in Europe could organize millions of troops to support the Far East, and the Yellow Russia plan would be realized. (To be continued......)
