Zhang Tinglan is very satisfied with Felix's attitude of thorough cooperation, and he does need to support an agent, especially Felix This guy is the Tsar's nephew, with the blood of the royal family flowing in his body, and he is also very shrewd, has a certain appeal, and is an object worthy of support.

"Old friend, there is no problem at all in providing you with arms, and I can also provide you with a large amount of food and funds, but I want to know, what exactly do you want, what is your goal?"

"Of course it's to control the army, is there any doubt about that?"

"No, I want to ask you what your ultimate goal is, to eradicate the majority and restore the authority of the Tsar, or is it just to keep your power and maintain your position in the Far East?"

After hearing this, Felix was also a little dazed, he really didn't think about this problem now, all his energy was focused on how to stabilize his subordinates, and he didn't think about it so much, but after Zhang Tinglan's reminder, he also had to think about this problem.

"Zhang, of course I hope to restore the glory of the tsar and completely eliminate the majority!" Felix pondered for a moment and said firmly.

"In that case, we have to carefully design a plan of action, you can't just focus on hard power, but also think about soft power, you have to make full use of your own advantages, and bring all the shili loyal to the tsar in one place, so that you can confront the well-organized majority party, and at the same time learn to use the aid of Shijie countries, so that you can stand firm."

"Zhang, my mind is completely messed up now, can you help me make a plan?"

Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly, pondered for a while and said: "Old friend, now that the life and death of the Tsar Bixia's family is uncertain, I suspect that with the style of the majority party, they have been killed." I suggest that you raise the banner of Tsar Bixia, make yourself regent, form the Supreme Provisional Government of Russia, enlist the support of Shijie countries, and then use the Far East as a base to counterattack in the direction of Europe, so that you can justify your name and call on more Russians to support you! ”

After thinking about it, Felix felt that this solution was indeed good, but there was still a little trouble. He smiled bitterly and said: "Zhang, if you want to form a provisional government, if you want Shijie to recognize me, at least I have to have a piece of territory, and I must have a group of subordinates who follow me." That's how you can get noticed. ”

"Yes, I can help you with that. First of all, get Bo Li in his hands. This is your temporary capital, and I'll send the Feng Army to help you manage the situation and provide you with enough arms and money! ”

"Old friend, Xiexie, your help." Felix was also a little moved, although he and Zhang Tinglan used each other, but at this time. Being able to take the initiative to reach out and help yourself should indeed be grateful.

"As long as Russia is restored, I will definitely repay you. I can make you a prince! Felix, who was in a much better mood, also made a rare joke with Zhang Tinglan.

To support Felix is definitely not a trivial matter, Zhang Tinglan did not dare to make a decision casually, he immediately sent a secret telegram to Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang, introduced the situation in the Far East to them, and said his judgment.

Supporting a foreign force of shili, acting as their own agent, this has always been the business of the great powers, they continue to support all kinds of warlords in China, and now suddenly the army is also going to Russia, supporting a force of liliang, for Lao Zhang, it is still a completely new thing.

He couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he could only call Yang Yuting and Wang Yongjiang over to hear their opinions.

"Dashuai, the Outer Northeast was originally our territory, but it was occupied by the Russians, this time the humble words to send troops to Hailan Pao, restore our administrative jurisdiction, set off a great repercussions in the country, all walks of life are voices of support for the Feng Army, I think we should continue to take bolder actions, it is best to take back the Outer Northeast, so that the prestige of the Dashuai will be in full swing, no one can compare, and it is not impossible to enter Beijing when the time comes."

Yang Yuting's words are full of agitation, Lao Zhang is also very comfortable to listen to, now the Beiyang government is still fighting, Li Yuanhong has been ousted from power, Feng Guozhang became the president, Lao Duan continued to serve as the prime minister of the cabinet, as a result, there was a contradiction between Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, both sides were originally old brothers when they were training at the small station, and called the characters of the three heroes of Beiyang, which should have been intimate.

But when it really came to the time to fight for power and profit, they were not polite at all, and the new round of government and court battles was more lively than when Li Yuanhong was in office, and many people were more and more disappointed in Beiyang for this situation.

At the same time, the strength of the Feng department is getting stronger and stronger, and the status is getting higher and higher, and Lao Zhang's ambition is expanding faster and faster, and when he heard Yang Yuting's words, he also showed a hint of joy.

Wang Yongjiang on the side frowned slightly and said: "Marshal, Chief of Staff, we can't just think about Haode in everything, but also see if our own strength is enough, the situation in Russia is very complicated, if the peace is too deep, I am afraid that the entire Feng army will be put into it, after all, our foundation is still too thin to act recklessly." ”

Wang Yongjiang's opinion is also for the sake of Feng Jun's consideration, after all, in the Far East, if you can achieve the expected results, who would not dare to pack a ticket.

Lao Zhang couldn't help but fall into contemplation, Yang Yuting thought about it, and then said: "Dashuai, the Northeast is between the two empires, if you want to develop, you must remove the threat of one side and make every effort to deal with the other, this is also a point of view that has been repeatedly said by clumsy words, Russia has fallen into civil strife, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it must not be let go. ”

The so-called Director Chang Yinhuai is Chang Yinhuai, after Wang Yongjiang's recommendation, Chang Yinhuai has become the director of the Fengtian Investigation Bureau, specializing in intelligence work, let him go north, just to assess the situation in Russia.

"Neighbor, since you take the initiative to ask for help, then work hard, discuss everything with Humble Yan more, don't make claims!"

"Understood!" Yang Yuting hurriedly left the Shuai Mansion, pulled Chang Yinhuai, and the two of them carried it together.

Lao Zhang sat in the Shuai Mansion and did not leave in a hurry, Wang Yongjiang also sat aside, Lao Zhang sighed for a while, and then said: "Minyuan, Fengjun looks thriving. However, most of these achievements were made by humble words, and now the border guards have repeatedly made war exploits, hey......"

Lao Zhang said this, he sighed, what did Wang Yongjiang not understand, originally Lao Zhang was just a division commander, trembling and trembling between all kinds of shili, Zhang Tinglan helped him to make suggestions and expand his strength, Lao Zhang would not have too many suspicions.

But now the Feng army has four provinces. With elite soldiers and strong generals, the world is a mess, everyone has the ambition to compete in the Central Plains, Lao Zhang is no exception, for Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan, who are getting stronger and stronger. Lao Zhang became more and more jealous.

Wang Yongjiang understands Lao Zhang's mind very well, and he also knows that this kind of mind is the most normal idea of the superior. Just a little thought. Don't think about dispelling it, Wang Yongjiang's heart is also secretly anxious for Zhang Tinglan, speaking of which, Wang Yongjiang still appreciates Zhang Tinglan's methods and vision.

If Zhang Tinglan can be ten years older, Wang Yongjiang will definitely abandon Lao Zhang without hesitation and follow Zhang Tinglan, this is Zhang Tinglan's age. Coupled with Zhang Zuoxiang's relationship, it is too difficult to form a faction of its own, and if it continues to develop, there may be a threat of split in the Feng faction. Wang Yongjiang can't help but worry.

"The commander, the assistant commander and the father and son of Humble Yan are all loyal to you, and the momentum of the Feng army has just picked up, and Japan, a confidant, is still in great trouble, and it should be sincerely united. In addition, there are many generals in the Feng army, and the second batch of students of the lecture martial arts hall will also graduate soon, you might as well promote some new generals, and then enrich these students to the front line. ”

Lao Zhang thought for a while, smiled and nodded: "It's not that I don't believe in humble words, this kid's public heart is far greater than his selfishness, but I'm worried that he is still young, and if a large group of people gather around him, it will inevitably be some noise, and it will be easy to control it." ”

"Dashuai, now that Chief of Staff Yang and Director Chang have gone north together, with them by your side, you can rest assured!"

Just when Yang Yuting and they had not yet arrived in Hailan, Zhang Tinglan had already begun to make some preparations, since several arsenals began to produce their own water Lianzhu rifles, they began to make some modifications, after all, Russian-made rifles are designed for Russians who are tall and tall, and there are some differences in body size with Chinese, which is somewhat inconvenient to use.

Therefore, the arsenal began some exploration and improvement, mainly to reduce the butt, cut off the barrel of five centimeters, and at the same time the trigger and other parts were also adjusted, and the original mature design was retained as a whole, but the rifle was more suitable for the Chinese body.

After the modification, the barrel is shorter, and the accuracy of shooting is a little worse, but it is enough for ordinary soldiers, no matter how high the accuracy is, they can't play it, as long as they can maintain the accuracy within two or three hundred meters.

Now the arsenal of the Feng army is producing new types of water beads, and the original old guns are basically going to be eliminated, but these guns cannot be wasted, they are all collected, and they are just handed over to Felix to arm the Russian army, which can be regarded as making full use of resources.

Zhang Tinglan prepared 15,000 rifles and 40 76-millimeter mountain guns in one go, all of which were old goods thrown down by the Feng army, and many of them were smuggled from Russia, and now they are being sold to the Russians.

But Felix didn't care about anything, in fact, the most valuable thing Zhang Tinglan took out was not these second-hand weapons, but a million loads of grain, for the Russians, food is the most precious thing, more valuable than gold, with these grains, Felix can at least let his subordinates eat well, and he can stabilize the morale of the army.

Felix was already overjoyed to get these things, and at this time Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai also arrived in Hailan Pao, and as soon as they met, Yang Yuting said: "Humble words, they are still a little hesitant, worried that supporting the Russians will bring trouble, are you sure?" ”

"Neighbor, do you pay attention to the movements of the United States and Japan?"

"Clumsy, why did you suddenly talk about this?"

"In the next game of chess, I have received information that there is a Russian admiral named Kolchak who went into exile in the United States a few months ago, then received the support of the United States, and then went to Japan, and now the United States and Japan are preparing to promote him as the supreme consul and act as a pawn to interfere with Russia."

Yang Yuting listened, his eyes rolled, and then he said with a smile: "I understand the meaning of the humble words, you mean that not only us, but other countries are also doing this, so we don't have to worry about anything." ”

"That's right, we support an agent, we can't reap real benefits, but also muddy the waters of the Far East, there is only benefit to us, there is no harm, we can do it boldly with confidence!"

Yang Yuting also said with a smile: "I'll just say that I never do things that I am not sure of, since this is the case, I can act!" ”

Chang Yinhuai, who had not spoken on the side, also said: "Since we want to support Felix, we must prevent this guy from going beyond our control, and it is best to have a little manpower around him to monitor his every move!" ”

"This is also what should be done, I will arrange an officer corps for Felix to help him train the army, as for what people to place, there is the final say of the permanent director, I don't dare to ask!" (To be continued......)
