"I can't tell you."

Yang Xiaolin didn't deceive Chen Tianhua's ruthlessness after all, and I think it was also the reason why Yang Du had to let him leave, and Yang Huizi's means in this struggle were unlimited. Maybe he will ruin Yang Du's affairs in Beijing.

Chen Tianhua looked at him for a moment and didn't ask any further: "Then that's it, I still have one more question, if you bring down Yuan Shikai, can you leave us a chance?" I don't want you to support democracy, and I know you never wanted to. Just, leave us a little hope? ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Believe me, although I don't like democracy, I don't like dictatorship even more." ”

In fact, Yang Xiaolin and Yang Du also insisted on what kind of model China is heading towards. Chen Tianhua really knows them, Yang Xiaolin will not stay out of this storm, and bringing China to the model he thinks is the best for Yang Xiaolin to achieve this time.

Pure military? That's to fool Lao Yuan. Military personnel do not interfere in politics? That's a warning to military personnel who shouldn't interfere in politics.

Yang Xiaolin believes that China cannot practice democracy, at the moment it is just starting, the country has just become independent, just like Sun Wen said, the threat of Russia and Japan is only after being suppressed, he does not want to make every decision has to go through a series of meetings and discussions! The government's decision-making must be fast, it must be implemented immediately, and the power of the whole country can be used in a concentrated manner after a policy, so that China can run a little faster.

But he will not say that it is completely possible to completely erase democracy and let democracy exist as a mechanism of supervision. And as he and Yang Du said, both of them are adventurous and gambling people. They need people like Sun Wen and Chen Tianhua to keep an eye on them from behind, constantly pulling them.

Any right needs to be supervised, and anyone needs to be restrained. The central government must centralize power, but it must be subject to democratic supervision while exercising its power, and democracy must not have much power, otherwise the centralization will be threatened.

This is Yang Xiaolin's model. Therefore, Yang Xiaolin has to leave Beijing first this time, so that Yuan Shikai can teach Sun Wen a good lesson.

Mongolian Serwusu.

A few hundred kilometers further north is Kulen, where the Russian major Alexievich was still in a very good mood. Last year, when the conflict between China and Russia had just broken out, his troops secretly marched into Mongolia. Garrisoned here to prevent the Chinese from raiding Kulen.

Later, although the war became bigger and bigger, his troops were always stationed here. The Major was enjoying the supra-national treatment here, and although the situation at the front did not seem to be good, it did not affect his life in any way.

At one point, he thought that his troops would never face war. Maybe you can enjoy yourself here for a few more months and then go back to Russia. But those damned Chinese spoiled the major's good mood. The Chinese troops who broke into the territory of Mongolia were like cunning rats. The Russian troops tried their best to encircle and intercept them, but they were never able to catch them.

And their whereabouts seem to be getting closer and closer to themselves, and an order has already been sent from the upper peaks for Major Alekseevich to do a good job of defense. Prevent that group of Chinese troops from breaking through his defensive ground. General Akpolier also made a point of saying that this is the top priority, and once the Chinese forces break through, the entire Kulen area will be directly threatened by the Chinese commandos.

Kulen not only has the imperial palace of Guangxu, but also the headquarters of Akpolil, and thousands of Russians live in this area. Major Alekseevich did not dare to slack off in the slightest, knowing that if something went wrong, he might not be able to bear the responsibility.

Since the day before yesterday, he has been desperately building fortifications, and has also set up strong low walls for the tanks of the Chinese commandos. Of course, all this work was done by the local people and the puppet army they had gathered, and the Russian soldiers had to conserve their strength and be ready to fight.

Although the Chinese looked very tired, Major Alekseevich did not let them rest, and the major said that the Russian soldiers were fighting to protect Mongolia, and these people who were protected by themselves should do something for the Russians.

And no matter how hard it is, it will take four or five days, if the Chinese commandos don't come, they may have to go somewhere else.

As the sun rose over the horizon, the fortifications outside were still being built, and the Major opened the door and came out of his bedroom to greet the first rays of the morning. He stretched beautifully, and a Chinese woman sprang out of the room behind him, her head bowed and hurried, two lines of undried tears hanging from her cheeks.

The major watched the woman leave her back, smiled slightly, and did not stop her. Anyway, if she needs something tonight, you can call her, she doesn't dare to refuse. Thinking of the pleasure this woman brought him last night, the Major really felt a little unfinished.

Those Chinese troops are really annoying! If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have had to get up so early.

"Major!"

A Russian officer ran from the side: "Our fortifications are almost finished, only a short distance to the north is not yet completed, and it is expected to be completed this morning." ”

"Very good! The Chinese appeared the day before yesterday, and according to the speed of their march, thinking that we will have this afternoon at the earliest! Looks like we're ahead of them. ”

"Major, will the Chinese really call?"

This is a question that only God and the Chinese know. All we have to do is prevent them from coming! Okay, captain, let the lads be ready for battle, whether the Chinese come or not. ”

"Yes."

"Dingding......" The phone rang in the room.

It's close to Kulen, and the Russian telephone lines go to it, so it's much easier to get information around.

The major's brow furrowed, and he turned and walked back to the room.

"I'm Major Alexievich, the commander of the Serusu, who are you?"

The people who could call him in this era were either high-ranking officials and magnates in Kulen, or the Russian military. So his tone was very polite.

After waiting for two seconds, no one spoke, but a slight rustling sound came from inside the phone.

When the major was a little strange, there was a voice over there: "Major Alekseev?" I am a lieutenant staff officer of the Operations Department of the Far Eastern Army, and the Chinese troops are attacking Kulen, and General Akpolier asked you how your defense is being prepared? ”

The major immediately said: "Please tell General Akpolir that our young men are ready to meet the Chinese, and only a small army of fortifications has not yet been completed, and they will all be repaired this morning, and then we will enter the trenches." There won't be any problems. ”

"I'm sorry Mr. Major. Can you elaborate a little bit and how many fortifications have not been repaired? Where exactly? ”

The major was a little impatient: "Well, there are still two kilometers to our north without a low wall and barbed wire, and we can do this in two hours!" Any questions, please? ”

"I'm just doing it routinely. I don't think there will be a problem. Happy to you, Mr. Major. ”

Alexievich put down the phone: "These annoying guys! ”

Twenty kilometers away. The head of the two poles sticks out of the carriage. looked up at Zeng Xiaoliang on the telephone pole: "Xiaoliang, what's the situation?" ”

Zeng Xiaoliang rushed up to it and stretched out a thumbs first, which meant that the thing was done. Then he took out a pair of scissors and cut the telephone line with a click. The current Zeng Xiaoliang is not the weak scholar he was a year ago, he slipped down from the top of the telephone pole to the ground, and told the second pole and Wu Peifu about the situation.

Wu Peifu immediately made a decision: "Brother Pole, your chariot can't pass in two hours, I'll take the cavalry to go first, and you will follow immediately." ”

The second pole is really a little depressed, the speed of this tank is eight or nine kilometers an hour, and it depends on the terrain, he felt that it was enough to fight those battles before, but now that this raid battle starts, Wu Peifu often leaves him behind. He has already reported to Yang Xiaolin, the motivation is not enough, and he must be faster.

Yang Xiaolin said that Zhou Tong was already improving, but now this really can't be changed, so he can only wave his hand helplessly: "Cheng, you go first, I'll be on time in two and a half hours, if you can't beat it, you can just control the gap." ”

"Okay."

The sun was getting higher and higher, and Major Alekseev was building fortifications and sending scout cavalry to inquire for information, but there was no obvious news. And for a while, it was as if the annoying words they said were heard by the people in the headquarters, and they never called to harass them again.

After about forty minutes, the Major felt something unusual, and picked up the phone to ask the surrounding defenders how things were going, but the phone did not respond.

I shook it a few more times and there was no response.

"Signal Soldier! Go check the phone line! This thing always malfunctions, what about telegram? Send me a telegram! ”

Just as the Russian communications corps was about to send a telegram, Colonel Alekseev felt a strange shiver coming from under his boots.

With his natural professional sensitivity, he immediately stopped what he was doing and pricked up his ears to listen carefully. I vaguely heard the sound of drums, "Knock knock knock......

This is definitely not drumming, and it didn't take long for the major to understand: "Not good! This is the sound of the hooves of war horses! Hurry up and get our troops ready for battle, ask if the headquarters has a place and move! ”

Before his order could be given, a Mongolian exclamation was heard in the distance: "The southern army is coming......

Then came the roar of the submachine guns, the explosion of the grenades, and the shouts of the Chinese cavalry: "Throat! ”

Wu Peifu led the cavalry from the Russians had not yet repaired the area where the wind blew in, the soldiers of the resistance army were born knights, equipped with submachine guns and rifles, the combat capability was greatly enhanced, and the dense warheads caused great casualties to the enemy who counterattacked head-on.

The Russian units that wanted to block the Chinese did not even have a chance to enter the position, and in a very short time, the already imperfect firepower point on the Russian position collapsed in an instant. The men who had built the fortifications for the Russians cried and cried and ran, ignoring any orders from the Russians, and at once scattered the Russian troops of a battalion that was ready to come up to support.

Wu Peifu didn't take much effort to kill through this gap, a shuttle bullet clip just empty, seeing that the Russian troops in front of him were not in lineup, he no longer changed the bullets, and took out the saber on his back to cut a Russian soldier in front of him to the ground: "Brothers! Kill me with me! (To be continued......)
