Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province, is also known as Shengjing and Fengtian. Shenyang has a history of 23oo years and is known as "an auspicious place for two generations of emperors". It is the most important heavy industry base in China based on equipment manufacturing, and has the reputation of "the eldest son of the Republic" and "Oriental Ruhr". At the same time, Shenyang is not only the provincial capital city of Liaoning, but also the political, economic, cultural, financial, scientific and educational, military and commercial center of Northeast China, as well as the largest city in Northeast China.

Shenyang is a famous historical and cultural city. It is a megacity with a long history. It is named because it is located in the north of the ancient Shenshui (now Hunhe River). 30,000 years ago, there were human activities in the Shenyang area. As early as the Neolithic Age, more than 72oo years ago, ancient human ancestors lived here. Since the establishment of Fangcheng (the predecessor of Houcheng) in the Yan State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the history of Shenyang has been more than 26oo years. It is precisely because of this that Shenyang is known as "an auspicious place, the capital of two generations of emperors". In 1625, the capital of Houjin established by the Qing Emperor Nurhachi was moved here and renamed Shengjing. In 1636, Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to "Qing" here and established the Manchu Qing State.

As early as the time when the Manchu Qing Dynasty still existed, the city received many preferential treatment because it was the source of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and for this reason, it became the largest city in the Northeast.

Later, as a large number of people began to move to the Northeast to seek a living, the climate was significantly more suitable for human habitation than the two provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. As a result, a large number of people who moved into the Northeast stayed in Liaoning, which also created another round of expansion of Shenyang.

Later, with the victory of the Battle of Shandong, in order to seek peace. Japan, which had already admitted defeat, had to withdraw from the northeast and cede all the rights and interests it had obtained from the Russians―――――― as early as the establishment of the Kuomintang, Yan Shao in order to develop China's industry. The famous "Seventh Five-Year Project", that is, seventy-five very important industrial construction projects, was planned.

Originally, as the most suitable area for industrial development in China, Northeast China should receive a large amount of capital investment, and occupy a considerable number of places in this Seventh Five-Year Plan.

But in fact, the number of places in the Northeast is not outstanding. This situation was unexpected by many, but it was expected. At that time, Tohoku was already under Japan's sphere of influence. In the Tohoku, Japan has considerable interests, especially in the acquisition of garrison rights. That is, even more so after the troops of a division were stationed in the northeast ...

At the same time, due to various treaties that humiliated the country, Japan had a large number of pioneers in Tohoku.

For example, Fushun was known as the coal capital in later generations. Of course. When it came to Yan Shao's time. The coal in Fushun, the coal capital, has been almost dug up, and the new coal capital has been turned into other cities. But just consider that the city once held such a title, and one can imagine how much coal is hidden beneath the city's ground.

However, as the owner of this land, instead of being able to exploit the resources here, China has to watch the Japanese exploit them wantonly, which is a shame for any sovereign country, especially for Yan Shao.

After all, for the people of this era, it is humiliating to lose the country and humiliate it. I don't dare to say that I am used to it, but in fact, it is almost the same. But in Yan Shao's era, it was an era when the Chinese people had stood up.

Well, it's hard to say whether you really stood up or not, but at least those so-called treaties that lost the country and humiliated the country were really very far away in Yan Shao's opinion.

Now because of this series of relationships, Yan Shao can't even open a factory and mine resources on the territory of his own country, how can this not be infuriating.

In particular, in order to avoid the influence of the Japanese, the so-called "Seventh Five-Year Project" had to carry out projects in some places where the Japanese had not yet set foot ―――――― during this period. For example, when the Kuomintang government planned to set up a steel factory in Anshan, after learning that the Chinese government had a large amount of iron ore resources in Anshan, and it was also a high-quality iron ore resource, and planned to build a steel factory here, the Japanese took the initiative to come to the door and demanded that the Chinese government withdraw from Anshan and hand over this land to Japan.

The reason is simple, that is, they have been carrying out exploration work in Anshan for a long time, so the Chinese should make concessions to Japan.

At that time, it was the Japanese metallurgical enterprise that made this request to China, the National Policy Society.

In fact, in the early days, in order to plunder the resources of Northeast China, the Japanese side had established many associations, relying on the help of Japan to try their best to plunder the resources they needed from China.

This is a metallurgy-related enterprise specially established by the Manchurian Iron and Steel Company in order to plunder the iron and steel resources of Northeast China. It should be noted that this company is also the predecessor of Showa Steel.

In fact, as early as 19o8, Manchurian Iron and Steel had begun to illegally explore iron ore resources in Anshan, Liaoning. After the success of the Xinhai Revolution, the Japanese colluded with Yu Chonghan and others to bribe the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of the Beiyang Government and actively steal mining rights. In 1916, the Sino-Japanese Joint Revitalization Iron Ore Company, which was controlled by the Manchurian Railway, was established. Initially there were only eight mines, but in 1921 three more were added. In order to make use of the iron ore resources in the Anshan area, Manchurian Iron and Steel established the Anshan Iron Works operated by it. The long-term plan of the institute is to produce 1oo tons of pig iron and 5o tons of steel.

The reason why the steel plant in Anshan was established in such a short period of time and completed a series of exploration work. From a certain point of view, it is also necessary to thank the Manchurian Railway, because it is precisely because the Special Affairs Bureau has obtained a lot of information about the iron ore resources in Anshan from the Japanese. Therefore, in the later period, when the [Seventh Five-Year Project] project was carried out, the State Council was able to establish the Anshan Iron and Steel Plant so smoothly...

Of course, for the Japanese, who have long been eyeing Anshan's iron ore resources, they will definitely not give up.

Later, when this request was not granted, this request for cooperation between the two parties was put forward.

Nature. During this period, Japan also coerced and induced the government of the country countless times, and some guys in the government with soft knees. I was really going to say yes.

Fortunately, Yan Shao didn't agree...

On the other hand, the explosion of the Shandong Campaign also overturned all the calculations of the Japanese.

First of all, they couldn't remember the iron ore resources in Anshan, and the Sino-Japanese joint steel plant was also impossible.

――――――――――――――――――――

It was precisely because of the victory in the Battle of Shandong that the Nationalist government could begin to devote itself to the resources of the Northeast. With a large amount of investment from the national government, the Northeast soon entered a new period of exhibition.

In the meantime. The influx of a large number of people into the Northeast also consolidated the rule of the Nationalist Government in the Northeast.

The comprehensive exhibition in the Northeast has also benefited Shenyang a lot.

Especially during the European War. Because the European side needs a lot of resources, whether it is steel or various other aspects. At that time, the Northeast already had some meaning of China's industrial center, and a large number of industrial products were produced here. The amount of steel and other materials that can be produced every year is even more innumerable. These are also the most urgently needed supplies on the part of Europe...

Therefore, during the war in Europe, the Northeast exported a large number of various resources to Europe. By the time the European victory was over, the Northeast had become one of the most important industrial centers in China, and at the same time, it was also the region with the most potential for development...

And in this case, Shenyang, the largest city in the northeast, has also been greatly exhibited.

Originally, it was a big scale. However, it seems to be a bit old, and it has changed with each passing day. A large number of old buildings were overturned. Instead, new buildings were moving, and the pothole-ridden roads were replaced by smooth concrete pavement.

In the years when the European war broke out, the Shenyang government even built underground waterways one after another under these new roads. It's exactly the same as in Beijing and Anqing, it's the kind of sewer that allows cars to drive lightly in it...

In addition, there are street lamps on both sides of the road, even beautiful green belts, and a tram that has just been put into use. Shenyang has become one of the most dazzling industrial cities in Asia, and is very famous even around the world.

And because it is an industrial city, almost all of the city's residents, except for some women, work in factories, which also makes the people of the city live a prosperous life...

At this moment, on the streets of Shenyang, there are many pedestrians who have just gotten off work are standing in front of the platform of a station, waiting for the arrival of the bus―――――― waiting for the bus is estimated to be one of the daily lives that require many workers, at least in the future...

At the same time, in another area of Shenyang City, a very majestic building is standing on the ground.

Above the building, a red black dragon flag belonging to China is fluttering in the wind, and outside the gate of the building, a group of soldiers stands like statues, motionless, making one wonder if they are actually made of statues...

At the same time, in the parking lot not far away, a large number of military vehicles were also neatly parked there.

Trucks, military off-road vehicles, blah blah, blah blah, not even a civilian vehicle. This is particularly special in front of the Shenyang Military Region Headquarters. At the same time, this is probably the current situation in the Wehrmacht today, that is, there are very few officers and generals who drive civilian vehicles.

After all, the government of the Commune did not provide cars, especially not the kind of beautiful buses that the army had. If they want to drive, they can only drive military vehicles, which are not very comfortable and are only suitable for use on the battlefield.

Of course, there is another reason, that is, if you drive a car, the car is very expensive, and this is definitely a reason for the Ministry of Integrity to come to the door.

Although there are many young soldiers who are full of good feelings for the Ministry of Integrity, there are also many soldiers left over from the old era who look down on the Ministry of Integrity very unpleasantly, because it is precisely because of the relationship between the Ministry of Integrity that they cannot enjoy life well―――――― what is the purpose of being an official, isn't it just to make money? At least for many of the officials left over from the old era, even the officers. After all, an officer is also an officer...

Especially in such an era of strong national strength, if the officials really want to make money. It will definitely not be worse than those war years. After all, it's all war, let alone ordinary people, even those slightly richer families can have a few dollars. The only ones who are really rich are the vampires who are also looting the people. However, such people usually have a certain background and are definitely not a very good target.

On the other hand, in such an era, whether it is the common people or others, the pockets are the one that is more bulging, and it is precisely the most suitable for them.

It's a pity that the existence of the Ministry of Integrity has ruined their dreams.

It is precisely because of this that many people have complained to Yan Shao about the Ministry of Integrity. complained about Song Jiaoren, but it's a pity that compared to them. Yan Shao obviously believed in Song Jiaoren more. So these words did not affect Song Jiaoren's status in Yan Shao's heart, but made Yan Shao trust Song Jiaoren even more―――――― of course, because of many achievements, Song Jiaoren has a huge reputation both within the government and among the people.

One could even say. Within the national government. The three people with the highest prestige are Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and Song Jiaoren. But in fact, Yan Shao was not at all worried that Song Jiaoren would threaten his position.

On the one hand, the prestige of the three people is far inferior to Yan Shao―――――― generals and ministers, as long as they do a good job, they will easily have huge prestige, and if the credit is a little too much, the word "merit" is high. That's how it came about.

For example, Yue Fei's prestige is very huge.

Although his prestige was certainly not as great as that of later generations...

But the prestige of the subordinates was greater than that of the monarch. This situation will only arise in case of incompetence of the monarch. On the contrary, if the monarch is not incompetent, then the greater the merit of his subordinates, the greater the greatness of the monarch, as is the case now...

Although Yan Shao actually doesn't have much ability, but for many reasons, Yan Shao's prestige is always ahead of anyone...

Of course, this is not the reason why Yan Shao is relieved of Song Jiaoren, there is another reason, that is, Song Jiaoren has offended too many people.

――――――――――――――――――――

Indeed, Song Jiaoren has done a very good job in the position of the Ministry of Integrity, and there are even many people who respect Song Jiaoren very much. But on the other hand, it is precisely because he has done so well that many people will look at him unpleasantly...

Even if Yan Shao doesn't like it, he has to admit a fact, that is, in this world, there is absolutely no completely clean government―――――― so he can't say that, maybe there will be a deal in the future, but at least Yan Shao will definitely not see it in his lifetime.

Not to mention Yan Shao's lifetime now, even when he was still in the 21st century, even if he lived to the point of dying, I am afraid he may not be able to see it.

Of course, if the world of that era could evolve to the point where the whole world was controlled by artificial intelligence, maybe it would be fine. But as long as it is still a world controlled by human beings themselves, it is absolutely impossible for this to happen over there.

What's more, the current national government is still in a relatively good way. Although it is indeed very convenient in terms of efficiency and other aspects, especially suitable for a country like China with a weak foundation, on the other hand, it is easy to produce many corrupt officials...

In fact, if it weren't for a competent Ministry of Integrity, plus the salaries given by the Nationalist government to the officials below were indeed good. At the same time as the national exhibition, I am afraid that this country will definitely adapt to the times, and a large number of corrupt officials will come out...

In such a situation, Song Jiaoren is naturally very hated, and it can almost be said that it is difficult to get other officials to support Song Jiaoren.

Not to mention that in such a situation now, even if this kind of ** attitude is really ended in the future, presumably people like Song Jiaoren will not be welcomed, which is why Yan Shaoming knows that Song Jiaoren's reputation is increasing day by day, but he is never worried at all.

Because he can't pose a threat to Yan Shao at all, it can even be said that don't look at his current prestige and scary, as long as he doesn't have Yan Shao's support, within three days, he will get out of his current position as the minister of integrity...

In this case, what does Yan Shao have to worry about???

――――――――――――――――――――――――

The headquarters of the Shenyang Military Region is the same as usual, because of the conflict in the Yalu River, the entire headquarters is very tense. Especially on the periphery of the command. The soldiers who were in charge of the garrison were even more heavily armed. Guarding against the Japanese sneak attack...

A sneak attack on the military district headquarters in Shenyang? This is not impossible, after all, the Japanese have been in Tohoku for many years, and it is not impossible that the Nationalist government has not unearthed some troubles until now.

So even if it's unlikely. As far as the garrison of the military region is concerned, it is still better to be cautious. What's more, the façade of the building behind them is now gathering a large number of generals and officers, and these can be said to be pivotal figures in today's Northeast. It can even be said that if it weren't for the fact that some people couldn't come back because of the fighting on the front line, I'm afraid that the senior generals of the entire Northeast would have gathered here.

At this time, if something goes wrong. That's really a nest, not only that, after losing the entire upper layer. I'm afraid that the entire northeast troops will be in a mess, and in this case, they really can't afford to be careless.

On the other hand, in the operational conference room in the headquarters, Feng Guozhang and some other generals. They all sat around the long table. Looking at several staff officers wearing the rank of major, they were standing in front of the podium, pointing at the areas hanging on the wall, and explaining to the generals at all levels present the actual situation and situation in the Northeast now...

“……… Just as he just said, our army and the Japanese army have formed a situation of confrontation on many battlefields along the Yalu River. Obviously, the Japanese have already shown many of our moves, and therefore have abandoned the original offensive countermeasures in favor of a defensive policy. According to the information from the Korean side of the Special Mission, it seems that the Japanese intended to rely on the existing favorable terrain. The intention is to take advantage of our desire to end the decisive battle as soon as possible, to imitate our original way of fighting and to consume our vital forces..."

Saying this, the young officer standing on the podium looked at the star-studded situation below, and his heart was a little secretly surprised. After all, now he can be regarded as facing most of the senior generals in the Northeast, and he can't help but not be nervous, but on the other hand, he can't show this nervousness―――――― unless he wants to be promoted in this life, you must know that many of the people sitting below are his top bosses, at this time, if the table is good, leaving a deep impression on the bosses, then it will be absolutely easy to promote things like this in the future, but if it leaves a bad impression, So don't look at him now, being able to be promoted to colonel in this life can basically be said to be his limit.

Therefore, even under the gaze of the generals below, no matter how nervous the young officer's psychology is, he can't help but forcibly ensure that his mentality has always been in a relatively calm state.

So, after taking a quiet deep breath, the young officer continued to explain.

"Although we have formed a confrontation with Japan on the entire battlefield at present, in fact, small-scale conflicts still occur from time to time, and with the combat capability of the troops, as well as the superiority of equipment, we have basically gained the upper hand in these conflicts, but according to the information obtained by the Special Affairs Bureau, the Japanese side seems to have some measures, and it seems that a new conscription program is also being launched in Japan, intending to expand the existing force again, these are also things that have to be guarded again."

With that, the officer saluted the generals below and quickly stepped down from the podium.

After he went down, it was Feng Guozhang himself who followed him.

Walking to the podium, Feng Guozhang glanced sideways at the generals of the various troops standing below, and after coughing lightly and trying to focus all the eyes of everyone present, Feng Guozhang spoke.

"At present, the general situation on the banks of the Yalu River, I believe that everyone here has a little understanding, and now this is such a situation. Perhaps the Japanese got the information, so they took the initiative to disengage with us, and now they are confronting us with a series of fortifications that they built earlier..."

Speaking of this, Feng Guozhang paused.

It is not surprising that the Japanese know about the reinforcements, whether it is Feng Guozhang or the other generals present below. After all, it was the strength of the four armies, and it came from the Beijing-Tianjin region and Shandong. The Japanese are not blind, and of course it is impossible for them not to perceive this qiē, so it seems that it is a matter of course for them to react somewhat...

The only thing that makes Feng Guozhang a little suspicious now is how the Japanese learned about it.

It is the movement of troops from all over the place. Or is there someone within the Chinese government? Both are possible, but this is not something Feng Guozhang needs to consider, what he needs to consider is how to defeat the Japanese on the banks of the Yalu River. As for other things, the Special Affairs Bureau is an expert in this area, and neither Feng Guozhang nor others can help but nod their heads in agreement and admit it.

Therefore, early on, Feng Guozhang and the others had already handed over this matter to the Special Affairs Bureau to handle...

In addition, Feng Guozhang is also very curious about how much the Japanese know. It's just that they know that they've increased their troops. Or have you even investigated the number of the troops or something?

――――――――――――――――――――

"The intention of the Japanese is simple, they want to imitate our original way of thinking and take advantage of the favorable terrain. There are also superior defensive fortifications, which use various ways to consume our troops, but in addition, I am afraid that we have not yet figured out the details. So I want to keep the same for the time being..."

"All of you here. There are those from the Shenyang Military Region, and there are also those from the Beijing Military Region and the Jinan Military Region, and they are not very familiar with each other, and some of them have met for the first time, and there is definitely no tacit understanding, but here I solemnly say that the next military operation. It was the President's designation to do so, so I hope that all of you here will be able to exercise your power and ability. Find a way to win this battle, so that the president in Beijing can get good news from us..."

Hearing Yan Shao, everyone present became upright.

As mentioned earlier, no matter how powerful the commanders below are, at least when the monarch is powerful enough, then the more powerful the commanders below, the more they can bring out the greatness of the monarch. What kind of meritorious work is basically impossible to happen.

On the other hand, if it is simply the subordinates who give power, and the monarch is a waste. Then the more powerful the subordinates do, the easier it is to bring out the monarch's waste. In this case, the monarch prefers to do something that the villains usually like to do.

For example, a high-ranking official releases the right to the army, or simply something like that...

Seriously speaking, Yan Shao is actually not a very powerful monarch, even with so many years of experience, compared with some monster-like guys, Yan Shao still seems a little too ordinary.

But with the 'long-term' vision brought by the crossing, coupled with a series of policies to love the people, the people think that Yan Shao is a very great person. In general, of course, Cai Ye and they have won many victories, and have gained great prestige as a result, especially Cai Ye himself has won the title of 'Sick Military God'.

However, in the eyes of many people, this is entirely because Yan Shao knows how to make good use of people, especially for some insiders, they feel that Cai Shao's victory has set off Yan Shao's greatness.

For example, in the Battle of Verdun, the expeditionary force effectively killed and wounded the German army with a large number of machine guns, and thus defended the fortress of Verdun after paying huge casualties, completing the first brilliant victory after the expeditionary force arrived in Europe.

On the surface, this is naturally a victory won by the efforts of Cai Ye and the expeditionary force, but in fact? As long as you know a little bit about the inside story, you know that the expeditionary force, or more precisely, the Wehrmacht is equipped with so many machine guns, completely because of Yan Shao's relationship, and it is precisely because of Yan Shao's strong support that the Wehrmacht has so many machine guns, and has made such a big record in Verdun.

At some point, some cabinet members were even rejected by Yan Shao after they were worried about the cost of machine guns and put forward the hope that they could reduce the number of machine guns in some units and reduce the financial burden on the government.

Then there is the Battle of the Somme on the Western Front, where the expeditionary force once again shocked the world with its outstanding performance of armored forces...

On the surface, this is naturally another battle commanded by Cai Ye. But in fact, many people know that tanks and armored vehicles are actually Yan Shaoming's, and Yan Shao established an armored unit. In other words, without Yan Shao, the expeditionary force would not have been equipped with such a thing, and without these equipment, it would naturally be impossible for the expeditionary force to win this great victory...

In this way, I dare not say half of the credit for this victory, after all, the soldiers on the front line also have a lot of credit, but if Yan Shao shares one-third of the credit. The vast majority of people agree.

Even Cai Ye and Jiang Baili, one was just the overseer of Yunnan Province at the beginning, and the other was even worse. can only be regarded as Yuan Shikai's staff officer, although his reputation is great, but in fact? There aren't many rights.

As characters of the old era, they should have completely disappeared like other people of the old era. But Yan Shao promoted them wisely, doesn't this show Yan Shao's greatness?

Naturally, all of the above things are secrets. But it's not something that ordinary people can know, but the uncrowned kings of those various media have many unique skills. In addition, Yan Shao's prestige was high at that time and he won the hearts of the people, and this kind of topic was also very popular, so soon these uncrowned kings found a way to dig up a lot of news related to this...

And this. It also made Yan Shao's prestige in society increasingly high. In the Wehrmacht, even the vast majority of people regard Yan Shao as the founder of the Wehrmacht, and his prestige is even higher than that of Cai Yi, the commander of a hundred battles...

All this naturally made these generals of the army dare not be rude to Yan Shao at all...

―――――― what needs to be explained is that there may be many people who don't know, even Yan Shao doesn't know. However, Yan Shao's 'credits' to the National Defense Force were actually secretly walked out by the Special Affairs Bureau. And it's Katarina who is in charge.

――――――――――――――――――――

"The president's meaning is obvious." Seeing that the people below were all upright, Feng Guozhang nodded with satisfaction and continued to speak. "The war has been going on for a long time. We have also consumed a large amount of Japan's resources and troops, and at present, according to the intelligence of the Secret Service, the British and Americans have already provided support behind Japan's back, and if we continue to fight at this time, according to what we originally thought, it will be impossible to consume all of Japan's resources, and conversely, if we continue like this, it will be more harmful to us. After all, Japan has Britain and the United States behind it, and we can only rely on ourselves, so the president hopes to be able to teach Japan a hard lesson, and then take advantage of the situation to end this war, in short―――――― take it when you see it..."

"However, even if we now have an advantage in troops, the favorable terrain of the Japanese and the superiority in fortifications are indeed a headache, so I hope that you can express your opinions and come up with some good solutions to the current dilemma..."

Hearing Feng Guozhang say this, the generals below looked at each other, and after nodding, they looked at the map hanging on the wall and thought.

The strongest of the Japanese fortifications in northern Korea was the first line. However, this road fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht under the sudden attack of the Kuomintang, so the Japanese had to retreat to the second line of defense, where the geographical conditions were not as good as the first, and even the construction of the work and even the fortifications was not as good as the first.

However, during this period of time, the Japanese have been trying to consolidate the fortifications, and now, even Feng Guozhang does not dare to ignore them. After all, if one is not done well, I am afraid that there will be very huge casualties, and this is unacceptable to Feng Guozhang, who is about to be awarded the rank of marshal.

After all, Feng Guozhang is not very recognized by other generals in the army, and if it really looks like this, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to be recognized by others.

So what Feng Guozhang needs most at the moment is a flawless victory―――――― well, there may be some flawless or something, but, a slight flaw is acceptable, but overall it must be beautiful.

Feng Guozhang already has a plan for his own psychology, and this time he put it forward to see if there is a better plan...

On the other hand, seeing Feng Guozhang standing on the podium, a general couldn't help but raise his head and ask after pondering for a while. "Commander, I wonder if you have any opinions?"

Hearing what the general said, the other generals who were still thinking about it came over one after another, wanting to see what Feng Guozhang had in mind.

Everyone here already knows about the award, and they also know that Feng Guozhang has basically been designated as one of the three marshals of the 6th Army, alongside Cai Ye and Jiang Baili.

Cai Ye and Jiang Baili, everyone here still admires them very much, but Feng Guozhang is some...

Yes, Feng Guozhang is indeed called China's most warlike general, but that was many years ago, and now it is the age of young people. In the eyes of many people, the reason why Feng Guozhang was able to get the rank of marshal was only because of his influence on the old Beiyang line, and because of his qualifications...

Now the reason why these generals have all come over is to see what Feng Guozhang is capable of, and he can be worthy of the rank of marshal? (To be continued!)
