Since the recovery of the Middle East Road, the Fengtian Marshal's Mansion has always been full of joy, and the people who came out and went in had smiles on their faces, even those low-level servants, the Dashuai has been in a surprisingly good mood these days, and has rewarded a lot of things, which is more generous than the New Year, which obviously makes everyone happy.

But today's joyful atmosphere disappeared, all the dignitaries of the Fengjun gathered in the Tiger Hall, Lao Zhang's face was also extremely ugly, he couldn't stop smoking his cigarette pouch, and the hall was filled with smoke, revealing a pungent smell.

"The little devil made a witness and accused us of taking the initiative to provoke, what do you think we should do?"

The other people's faces were also very gloomy, and they couldn't find a good way, so the Japanese suddenly held a press conference and introduced a Russian officer, Vasily, who turned out to be under Horvat, who was responsible for guarding the section between Harbin and Qiqihar, and he suddenly jumped out and pointed out that the war was provoked by the Feng army on its own initiative, and the so-called majority party rebellion was also a pretext, and it was a lie woven by the Feng army in order to plot to seize the Middle East Road.

If this news alone is not enough to shock Fengtian, now that the Middle East Road has fallen into the hands of Fengjun, it is nothing more than a saliva lawsuit. But the Japanese made a shocking statement, Akajiri Massuke claimed that the Feng army was plotting to attack the Russian army, and as an ally of Russia, Japan was obliged to take military action to protect Russia's rights.

Clear-eyed people know that the friendship of allies is fake, and it is true that they want to take the opportunity to seize the Middle East Road, and the Japanese have long had inflated ambitions for the Northeast and want to expand the scope of Shili, and now the Japanese are waving the banner of the alliance, which is to extend their hands to the entire Northeast.

In the face of this situation, how should the Feng army respond, and if the Japanese army really took military action, should the Feng army go to war with the Japanese. Whether the war can be won or not, a series of questions are placed in front of the top brass of the Feng army, and the big guys can't help but weigh it well.

"Damn, what the hell is going on with that Vasily, didn't all the Russian officers be killed, did he jump out of the cracks in the ground?"

Zhang Jinghui complained on the side, and Chief of Staff Zhu Qinglan said with a wry smile: "I have investigated, the problem lies with Yingshun, this guy is responsible for attacking and solving the Russian army between Qiqihar and Harbin, and Yingshun caught this Vasily." And instead of killing, it was hidden. ”

"If he does this, doesn't he want to kill Feng Jun?"

"He's a Manchurian, and we're not the same heart at all, I think Yingshun wants to leave a way back for himself. There is a Russian officer in his hand, once the Russian army kills. He was able to save his life. ”

Feng Jun is out of the inner ghost. Yingshun secretly harbored Vasily, and when the Japanese contacted him, Yingshun secretly handed over the person to the Japanese side, which was also the news that Wu Junsheng had just sent.

Zhang Zuolin's face was gloomy like the bottom of a pot, and he spit out a few words between his teeth: "The remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not a single one is left!" ”

Lao Zhang has completely moved his murderous intentions. Not only Yingshun, but also Ba Ying'e and Bi Guifang, they are both full of people, no matter how much trust they have in them. These people have their own little abacus, and it is impossible to be single-minded with Fengjun, and they must not tolerate this kind of person.

In addition to being dissatisfied with them, Lao Zhang also had thoughts about Wu Junsheng, although the Middle East Road was commanded by Zhang Tinglan, but the matter was in the Heilongjiang area, as the overseer of Heilongjiang, Wu Junsheng could not escape the blame, and even the officers under him could not restrain him, and it was really not enough to succeed and more than to lose.

"Dashuai, Yingshun, Ba Ying'e and others must not stay, but the eyebrows are burned, let's take care of the front first. Let's still think about how to deal with possible military action by the Japanese, and if the Japanese really send troops, should we go head-to-head with them? Sun Liechen is still very sober-minded, and it is necessary to hold him accountable, but it is not the most urgent task, and it is still time to discuss how to get through the current hurdle.

"Dashuai, if it were a great power, we could still fight, but now there is Russia in the north and Japan in the south, if the two countries fight together, our situation is worrying!" Zhang Jinghui said with some concern.

At this time, not only Zhang Jinghui, but everyone else also had this idea, after all, Zhang Tinglan commanded the road guard army to defeat the Russians, which was far beyond everyone's estimates, but the people present also knew that there were no two Zhang Tinglan in the Feng army, and the thriving Japanese were not comparable to Russia where the country was in a mess.

Once the Japanese are determined to use force, the situation of the Feng army is absolutely worrying, everyone looks at each other, and they can't come up with any good ideas, Lao Zhang's brain is also spinning rapidly, the Middle East Road must not be conceded, let the Feng army is completely finished, but the threat of force from the Japanese is real, and it is in front of them.

Lao Zhang is also in an unprecedented dilemma now, and Zhang Tinglan, who has always had the most ghost ideas, is not by his side, and the others are not clear about international affairs at all, and they have a deep-seated fear of foreign powers, and the Japanese are a little unbearable.

After thinking about it before and after the old Zhang Si, when he had no idea, Yang Yuting rushed over from Jilin, and he was also a servant along the way, he was going to report the situation on the Middle East Road to Zhang Zuolin, but as soon as he got off the train, he got the news that the Japanese had threatened Mukden and were ready to use force.

Yang Yuting immediately came to the Marshal's Mansion, after he arrived, Lao Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Yuting himself is resourceful, and to some extent, he also represents Zhang Tinglan, now Yang Yuting rushed over, maybe he has an idea.

"Lingge, the Japanese have pointed their guns at our heads, what can you do?"

"Dashuai, I am here for this matter, I think we should make three preparations now, first, firmly deny Vasily's accusations. Don't look at the fact that the Japanese have caught a single witness, but he was not in Harbin at the time of the war, and his testimony can only show that there is no majority party rebellion within the scope of his control, and he cannot control other places, and we must refute it to the media! ”

Yang Yuting said the first point, and the people present nodded frequently, this is indeed reasonable, and the Japanese cannot be allowed to say whatever they want, and Fengjun must also strive for the initiative of public opinion.

"The second point is that peace can only be made if you can fight, the Middle East Road is entrusted with the future of the Feng army, and if you don't control the railway in your own hands, sooner or later it will be a dead end. Therefore, the whole Feng army must be ready for battle, and if we can defeat the Russians, we can also take over the Japanese. Fengtian's army is ready, transfer the road guard army to Harbin rest assured, as long as there is a war, we will snatch the railway between Fengtian and Changchun, so that the connection between Fengtian's army can be smooth, and it will be much easier to attack and retreat! ”

In fact, as early as the beginning of the Middle East Road, Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting discussed many ways to deal with various situations. Among them, Zhang Tinglan proposed to take the lead in seizing the railway, not to mention the Japanese showing their teeth and claws, they only had more than 10,000 troops stationed along the Middle East Road.

Moreover, these people were scattered, and the Feng army was able to destroy the Russians. It can solve the Japanese problem as well, at least this attitude must be shown. Fighting a war is about taking the lead in the first place. The Japanese are very strong, but they are not without weaknesses, as long as they fight the snake seven inches, there is hope of defeating the enemy.

Yang Yuting said these two points. Just as Lao Zhang's mind was, Zhang Zuolin nodded frequently, and then asked: "Lingge, then what do you say is the third hand?" ”

"Great. The first two hands are common strategies. Yang Yuting said with a smile: "The key is on the third hand, the Japanese under the banner of helping the Russian allies, come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, if the Russians do not admit it, the Japanese will lose their excuse, this is the soup to stop the boiling, it is better to draw the bottom of the kettle!" ”

After Yang Yuting finished speaking, everyone present suddenly realized that this is indeed the most haode way, but after thinking about it, everyone was a little puzzled, the Russians were beaten by Feng Jun, can they still speak for Feng Jun, is there such a cheap bone in the world?

Everyone shook their heads in disbelief, and so did Zhang Zuolin, who couldn't help but say: "Lingge, although this idea is good, the Russians won't agree to it!" ”

"Dashuai, if you want to do this kind of thing, you have to look at the ability of humble words."

As soon as Zhang Tinglan was mentioned, everyone present couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, Zhang Tinglan had already brought too many miracles to everyone, and it was also his idea to regain the Middle East Road, Zhang Tinglan should have a full set of coping strategies, maybe he could really complete this incredible task.

"Marshal, I have sent me a telegram in a humble manner, analyzing the ghost thoughts of several powers, the Russians are not willing to lose the Middle East Road, the Japanese want to replace Russia and bring the railways under their control, and Britain can't bear to see Japan shili expand, so it proposes to be jointly managed by the Entente. It seems that the great powers have joined forces to exert pressure, but they have their own evil intentions, and they are even more wary of each other than we are. ”

"Does Lingge mean to raze and raze?" Sun Liechen asked with a smile.

"That's right, as long as the Russians understand that it is better for us to control the Middle East Road than the Japanese, they will not help the Japanese."

Controlling razing is a famous slogan in the late Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang and other famous ministers in the late Qing Dynasty all conducted diplomacy according to this concept, but they still lost more than they won, and the reason for this was not that the policy was wrong, but that there was a problem in the operation, on the one hand, they did not find out the demands of the great powers, and they did not hit the key points, so this policy was invalid.

On the other hand, the strength is too weak, and there is no respect at all, and no one is willing to take a chestnut for a piece of fat that is wanted, and now Zhang Tinglan has touched the pulse of the great powers, and has proved the strength of the Feng army through the war, and also has the capital to leverage the current situation.

Lao Zhang accepted Yang Yuting's suggestion, and the entire three eastern provinces immediately moved, while issuing a statement resolutely denying the accusations of the Japanese, and Lao Zhang mobilized all the troops.

The 27th Division led by Sun Liechen, as the most powerful unit of the Feng army, went out directly and hoarded on the railway line between Mukden and Luda, guarding against the Japanese army in the direction of Lushun. The reorganized 28th Division was aimed directly at the Manchurian Railway's annex to Mukden, and at the first moment of the war, it eliminated the dagger that the Japanese had put on Mukden's neck, and then waved its troops north to get the railway line between Mukden and Changchun.

In addition, the garrison division of the eastern side province, the garrison along the Gyeongbong railway, and the cavalry troops of Taonan were all mobilized, and they put on a decisive battle with the Japanese.

In addition to the mobilization of the army, the people of the three eastern provinces have also been mobilized, and the people of Fengtian know very well that the big guys can have a good life now, all because the Fengjun has withstood the pressure of the Japanese and continuously implemented the new policy.

Horse convoys, medical teams, and transport teams were formed in the city to provide logistical support to the Feng army, and the militia of the farms everywhere also moved up, intensified their drills, and were ready to fight at any time.

In addition to Mukden, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces also took action, and in fact, a general mobilization for war was being carried out on the vast black land, and the spearhead was the aggression and intimidation of the Japanese.

The three eastern provinces are full of people enthusiastically joining the army, there are donations and donations everywhere, and the arsenal is also working around the clock, constantly producing arms and materials, Akajiri Massuke saw this scene, and was also shocked, he didn't expect that the organizational ability of the Feng army was so strong, and it could make all the people unite and unite as one, and the Japanese were also unexpected.
