As soon as Zhang Tinglan finished picking up, Shen Hua, the chief of the guard, was outside and shrunk his head, as if there was something urgent. Zhang Tinglan also secretly said in her heart that she was lucky, fortunately she grabbed the time to get the marriage done, otherwise she might have delayed it again.

However, on the first day of the wedding, she left the bride, Zhang Tinglan's heart was also very unhappy, gently hugged Zhou Xinyao's delicate body, and said to her: "Daughter-in-law, now Fengtian will rest for two days, and then you will go to Harbin, as long as the war eases down, I will go over to accompany you!" ”

"Well, humble words, you don't have to worry about me, but you should pay attention to your own safety, Russia is one of the great powers, although you have won them, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, you must be more careful."

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I estimate that this is a border conflict, the key is how to grasp the heat, I went over in person, just to avoid a big war, there will be no danger!"

Saying that, Zhang Tinglan kissed his wife's forehead lightly, and then turned around and walked out of the new house, where Shen Hua was waiting outside.

"You're up early."

"Hmph, don't say it's useless, what do you want to come to me for?"

"There is an accident in northern Shaanxi, all the civil and military officials in Fengtian have gone to the Tiger Hall, and the marshal did not let people look for you, but I think this kind of big thing cannot be delayed!"

Zhang Tinglan nodded: "You did the right thing, the business is important, you should indeed inform me, the bonus for these two months will be gone!" ”

Shen Hua was a little happy when he heard Zhang Tinglan praise him, but when he turned the conversation, he deducted the bonus, and he was immediately dumbfounded, this master is too difficult to serve, how to do it right, and deduct his own money, Shen Hua only felt more resentful than Dou E.

"Shen Hua. Don't feel wronged, you do things for me, you always have to grasp the word reasonable, you come to inform me, it is reasonable, but it makes me feel that you don't care about me, so I lose points. ”

"Sir, you're right, I'll dare to ask again, if I feel sorry for your new marriage, I won't come to inform you. Is it possible to add points and not deduct bonuses? ”

"That is, there is no overall situation, and you don't know the priorities, and you have to deduct the bonus."

When Shen Hua heard this, his face immediately turned like a bitter gourd: "This is not left." Not right, or you can give me an idea. What exactly should I do? ”

"If you are not in your position, you are not in charge. I'm not the head of the guard, ask me what I'm doing! ”

Shen Hua was choked all of a sudden, thinking about it, he couldn't find the best of both worlds, so he could only follow Zhang Tinglan in frustration, and they soon arrived at the Shuai Mansion. There were already a lot of civil and military officials gathered inside, Lao Zhang was sitting in the middle, and when he saw Zhang Tinglan coming, Lao Zhang smiled.

"Humble words. Yesterday was a good day for you, I didn't want to call you over, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself, so it's just right, discuss it with everyone, and see what to do about the problem in northern Shaanxi. ”

After Zhang Tinglan sat down, an adjutant had already sent the sorted documents to him, and Zhang Tinglan took a brief look at it before he figured out the situation. It turned out that the problem in northern Shaanxi was instigated by Sun Dacang, and after Lao Duan eliminated Zhang Xun, he openly opposed the temporary covenant, and Sun Wen felt that he had moved his own life, so he played the banner of protecting the law.

Jiao Bing, a Kuomintang figure from Shaanxi, was sent back to northern Shaanxi to organize the Protector Army to oppose Duan Qirui and Chen Shufan, the governor of Shaanxi. In recent years, the people's livelihood in Shaanxi has withered, and the governors Lu Jianzhang and Chen Shufan, who managed Shaanxi before and after, are all extravagant people, and the people's resentment is boiling.

Moreover, northern Shaanxi is a place where swordsmen are rampant, and the people are fierce, these factors are superimposed, and northern Shaanxi has become a powder keg, and there is already the possibility of eruption.

"Lao Duan feels the crisis in northern Shaanxi, and has begun to deploy troops, but now the troops in Beiyang are not sufficient, and the main force has to be transferred to the Yangtze River to confront the people and horses in the southwest, so the task of exterminating the people's army in northern Shaanxi will definitely fall on the surrounding provinces, I think this may be a good opportunity for the Feng army to take the opportunity to expand!" Yang Yuting said on the side.

Expanding the territory has a huge attraction for the warlords, the bigger the territory, the more official positions, and the greater the chance of promotion and wealth, among the people here, the most active is Zhang Jinghui, among the old brothers, except for Tang Yulin, only he has not yet gotten the position of a province to seal the territory.

Since Sun Liechen took command of Rehe, Zhang Jinghui has been constantly looking for opportunities to rise one step higher, so he said most actively: "Marshal, I think we should take the initiative to ask for war and send the army to Shaanxi, and it is best to take the opportunity to swallow the whole of Shaanxi, so that we will have a foothold in the northwest." Moreover, I see that the people's army is a rabble, and it is not an opponent of the Feng army at all, so I am willing to take the initiative to ask for orders and lead troops to Shaanxi to suppress bandits. ”

Zhang Jinghui took the initiative to ask for battle, Lao Zhang's brows frowned slightly, and he secretly called Tofu Zhang's name in his heart, this fifth brother wanted to be an official and wanted to go crazy, and he didn't understand Lao Zhang's mind at all.

Now there is just a little rumor in northern Shaanxi, there has not really been an uprising, and there is no openly rebellion, at this time, jumping out to ask for war, it will only attract Duan Qirui's suspicion, it is definitely a matter that outweighs the loss, Lao Zhang beckoned everyone to come over, in fact, he wanted to discuss, how to bet on the question, but Zhang Jinghui did not hesitate to stand on the side of Beiyang, obviously did not understand Lao Zhang's thoughts.

"If there is really chaos in northern Shaanxi, it is indeed a good time to send troops, but our army can't be used as guns for others, if Lao Duan doesn't ask for us, I think it's better not to send troops, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" Sun Liechen also spoke on the side, his words were still quite weighty, and Lao Zhang also nodded frequently.

Zhang Jinghui still wanted to fight for it again, so he said: "Dashuai, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, we have tens of thousands of troops, we can't do without it, right?" ”

"It's not that it's not needed, but it's not enough!" As soon as Zhang Tinglan spoke, everyone's attention was on him.

"Humble words, what do you mean by this, is there something wrong again?"

"Marshal, the Russian side has increased its troops to the Far East, and it is said that it has also mobilized the air liliang, and now China and Russia must be ready to fight along the line, and meet the invading enemy at any time, if we fight with Russia, I am afraid that we will not have many troops to be transferred."

Although Russia was defeated at the hands of the Feng army, Russia was still a real power. Any movement of the army is enough to make the Feng army raise their vigilance, and as soon as Lao Zhang heard about such a thing, he immediately made a decision to deal with the Russian threat with all his might, and put aside the matter in northern Shaanxi for the time being.

The others left the Tiger Hall one after another, Zhang Tinglan stayed behind, Lao Zhang patted him on the shoulder, and said with great emotion: "Humble words, if you want to deal with the Russians." You belong to the whole army, but you just got married, so I let you go north, and I can't bear it. ”

"Sir, this is where the duty lies. There is no other way, although Russia looks scary. But it has been strong from the outside. No worries. In fact, once the Northern Shaanxi People's Army makes trouble, it is indeed a very haode opportunity, and the Shili of the Feng Army can go deep into the northwest, but it can't directly help Beiyang send troops, so it won't be able to come at all! ”

When Lao Zhang heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Humble words are indeed clever. The Kuomintang sent me a secret letter asking me to support a batch of arms in northern Shaanxi, and after getting the weapons and equipment, they officially revolted. But I'm still a little undecided about whether to support them or not. ”

"Dashuai, I think we should support it, the bigger the people's army, the better, in fact, it is not limited to Shaanxi, the surrounding Suiyuan, Gansu, Shanxi and other places are best in chaos. As long as the situation is chaotic, the Feng army will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and our military industry is on the right track, and when the steel plant is officially put into operation, our arms production will be greatly improved, and then there will always be a market for these things, and the northwest is the most haode choice! ”

When Lao Zhang heard this, he was obviously very satisfied, and nodded incessantly: "Just do what you say, send a batch of arms first, and then see how far the Kuomintang can go." ”

After the problem of northern Shaanxi has a strategy, others can completely deal with it, there is no need for Zhang Tinglan to get involved, his main task is still on the Russians, after simple preparations, Zhang Tinglan immediately went north, Sun Anhu, Jiang Dengxuan and others also went north together to assist Zhang Tinglan in dealing with the Russians.

With him also a few students of Nanyuan Aviation School, plus only two planes, now Nanyuan Aviation School has moved to Fengtian, officially renamed Fengtian Aviation School, the treatment of teachers and students has improved a lot, and the funds for teaching and scientific research have also increased a lot, teachers and students are very satisfied, but the only problem is that there is a serious lack of aircraft, and the teaching work has been affected a little.

Zhang Tinglan also asked Ba Yuzao, who was in the United States, to help him find a way, if he could buy an airplane, he would buy it, if he couldn't buy it, he would get a batch of engines back and produce it himself, fortunately, the current plane is not very complicated, as long as the engine problem is solved, with the industrial foundation of Fengtian, it should be able to get out.

"Commander-in-chief, I heard that the Russians will also have an air force to participate in the war this time, don't look at the fact that we only have two planes, we can fight with them as well, can you give us a chance to fight!" He Shilong took the initiative to fight on the train.

"It's good to have fighting spirit, and it's not bad not to be afraid of sacrifice, but it's not good if you don't have brains. Russian planes and pilots have fought with the Germans, their experience is far above ours, the quality and quantity of aircraft also overwhelm us, you and they are not fighting, but sending them to death, remember that there is only a thin line between a warrior and a reckless man, you must be a warrior, not a reckless man! ”

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!" He Shilong's head drooped: "If you don't let us go to the battlefield, then what value do we have on our backs?" ”

Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "Yes, of course there is, you must know that many soldiers in the Feng army have never seen what an airplane is, so there will be instinctive fear, and they don't know how to deal with it at all. ”

In fact, during the First World War, the plane was very simple, the flight altitude was low, the speed was slow, and the plane could be shot down by using anti-aircraft machine guns.

"Don't be disappointed, soon we will also develop our own aircraft, and then you will be able to compete with Russian aircraft!"

After pacifying these pilots, Zhang Tinglan's train had already arrived in Harbin, and just after getting off the train, the border guards sent several reports in a row, and there were many cases of Russian planes crossing the border on the border line, and the Russians bullied the Feng army for not having air liliang, so they came to investigate unscrupulously, and also wantonly threw bombs, attacking villages on the border line, and more than 30 civilians died under the attack of the Russian army.

After Zhang Tinglan read the report, he hurriedly called Sun Anhu and the others over: "Everyone, Russian planes are so rampant, we must give them a head-on blow, and we must immediately come up with a set of tactics to deal with planes!" ”

After a brief explanation, Zhang Tinglan led his generals to the training range, and in front of them was a strange tripod wooden frame, on which was placed a heavy machine gun, the muzzle of which was at a seventy-degree angle, diagonally facing the sky.

"This is an anti-aircraft machine gun mount that we made improvised, the joints have been specially strengthened to withstand the recoil of the machine gun, and the official machine gun mount is still being developed, so we can only use this to cope with it at present!" (To be continued......)
