After the Sino-Russian pact, the Russians withdrew from the Far East with the bitterness of defeat, and Irkutsk became their forward stronghold, where the Russians amassed heavy troops, repaired fortifications, and formed a confrontation with the Feng army.

The Feng army, on the other hand, took Ulan-Ude as its forward position, used Lake Baikal as a barrier, and also deployed a strong defense Liliang. Zhang Tinglan formally issued an order to establish the Far East Garrison Army, and Wan Fulin was appointed commander-in-chief of the garrison army, under the jurisdiction of the former Frontier Army's Third Division, the First Armored Brigade, the Third Fifth Aviation Squadron, and the Mongolian Fifth Cavalry Brigade, with a total strength of more than 23,000 troops.

At the same time, Semenov of White Russia was also appointed commander of the Western Military District of the Far Eastern Empire, leading more than 10,000 White Russian troops to assist the Feng army in jointly defending Red Russia, which was basically equivalent to a servant army.

In addition to accumulating heavy troops on the Western Front, the Feng army also reached a lease agreement with the Far Eastern Empire on the Trans-Siberian Railway, and took the management of the railway into its hands. Along the Trans-Siberian Railway, special railway garrison brigades were also set up, accompanied by armored trains. The Feng army had captured two armored trains at the hands of the Russians, apparently not enough to patrol the 3,000-kilometer railway line.

Based on the armored trains captured from Russia, the Harbin Railway Vehicle Factory temporarily converted 10 armored trains to patrol the railways in the Far East.

It can be said that among the many trophies of the Feng army, the most exciting is the Trans-Siberian Railway, which passes through the tundra in large quantities. Due to the fact that the moving earth zone melts under the sunlight during the day and freezes at night. When it freezes, the volume will expand, and the damage to the railway will be very large, even in the future, how to build on the frozen soil. It's also a huge puzzle.

At the beginning, the Russians spent all their financial resources in order to build the Trans-Siberian Railway, and at the same time hired a large number of French Jishu personnel, which lasted 25 years and was not opened to traffic until 1916.

Now the eastern section of the Trans-Siberian Railway is under the control of the Feng army, and at once the railway mileage of the three eastern provinces has more than doubled, and there is this railway. The abundant resources of the Far East have become the pockets of the Fengjun, providing strong support for the industrial development of the Fengjun.

It is also important to note that the Trans-Siberian Railway ends in Vladivostok, which is one of the few good ports in the Far East. Originally, the most Haode port in the three eastern provinces was Dalian, but Luda is still in the hands of Japan. After the Feng army got Vladivostok, there was an additional sea lifeline.

Through here. Able to trade directly with North America. The distance is greatly shortened, and Vladivostok is strategically located directly opposite the Sea of Japan.

In the event of a war between China and Japan, the Bong army could send troops directly from Vladivostok, attack Korea to the south, and attack the Japanese mainland directly to the east. Originally, the three eastern provinces were surrounded by Japan and Russia. There was no outlet to the sea on the northern route, and the southern route had to be blocked by the Japanese layer by layer.

But now, this situation has been completely broken, and the army has turned passive into active. As long as the strength is sufficient, it can threaten Japan from both the north and the south in turn, and put the Combined Fleet in a state of exhaustion.

The spell of being surrounded by the two empires was completely destroyed, and the whole Feng army rejoiced, and Zhang Tinglan also began to systematically plan the development strategy of the Feng army. In fact, from the very beginning, many of Zhang Tinglan's development strategies were emergency. The two empires are pressing, and the only chance for the Feng army to break their fate is the Russian civil war, and they must use the fastest and most effective way to make themselves strong.

Therefore, in the development of industry, especially the military industry, Fengjun completely adhered to the doctrine of taking and directly copied Russian-made weapons, and also copied some German-made weapons, and the entire military industry was a little messy. Although it is said that due to Russia's relatively low industrial level, among all the great powers, the weapons system is the most suitable for China, but the physical condition of the Russians is still different from the Chinese, and the combination of Russian-made weapons and troops is completely suitable for China.

Just after reaching an agreement with the Russians, Yang Yuting and Jiang Baili analyzed the battle and found out all the problems exposed by the Feng army, including both the tactical level and the weapon level, among which the most prominent problem in the field of weapons is the problem of adaptability.

Just when the two chiefs of staff were sorting out, Feng Yongshuang, commander of the military police, also found Zhang Tinglan, who had recently been experiencing several problems of drunkenness and gambling in the army, and individual officers connived at their subordinates, and the requirements for military discipline began to be relaxed.

After Zhang Tinglan got the report, his brows immediately furrowed, he was looking for a problem to make up for the gap, but someone began to get carried away, which was extremely hateful. However, Zhang Tinglan also knows that this may not be an isolated phenomenon, and it is very likely that there will be a problem of expansion in the whole army.

This trend must be eliminated and the minds of his subordinates cleared. In addition to updating military equipment, it is also necessary to give the soldiers a head start.

Zhang Tinglan also felt the urgency of the matter, so he summoned all the military officers under him, and at the same time, Tao Jiping, Xiong Mengyuan, Ba Yuzao, Wu Yulin and other leaders in the military industry field also summoned all of them.

In fact, the generals of the Fengjun are similar to Zhang Tinglan, many division and brigade commanders, and the main persons in charge of the factories are all around the age of twenty or thirty, and due to the rapid development, many people have risen to high positions within a few years, and they inevitably have a trace of young man's frivolity. Especially after the big victory, everyone seemed very excited, and before the meeting, everyone was talking to each other.

Just when they were chatting excitedly, Zhang Tinglan, Yang Yuting, Jiang Fangzhen, and Zhu Qinglan, who was in charge of logistics and military quartermasters, rushed in, and some officers peeked at Zhang Tinglan and found that there was not much joy on the face of the handsome, but it was serious and abnormal, and they were also a little at a loss.

After Zhang Tinglan sat on the main seat, he glanced at the whole city majestically, and the generals below became silent.

"There is no doubt that Fengjun is a winner, but a temporary victory does not mean an eternal victory, and the Far East is only a corner of the whole Chinese chess game, and it is still very far from a real victory. I hope that everyone will keep a clear head, and do not listen to any songs of praise and virtue, let alone rest on their laurels. Everyone knows the story of lying on the salary and tasting courage, we can't be Wu Guo's husband. ”

After the victory of the Feng army, some officers did show signs of expansion, thinking that the Feng army had become completely strong and did not need to care about anyone at all. They thought that this conference was to reward meritorious generals, but as soon as Zhang Tinglan opened his mouth, he actually warned everyone not to be a bad husband, and the meaning of beating was too obvious, and many people silently lowered their heads.

Zhang Tinglan continued: "It is very easy for a loser to learn from the pain and then make a thorough reflection and change. On the contrary, the victor is prone to sink into the experience of the past and hold back. You are all aware of the fact that the Germans have recently sent a group of observer missions to observe and learn from the experience of the Feng army. If in the past, would they have learned from a backward country? Obviously not, it is precisely because of the defeat that the Germans have really settled down, and I can assert that sooner or later Germany will make a blockbuster, and the current victors, France and England, will pay the price for their sluggishness! ”

With Zhang Tinglan's words, the officers present gradually lowered their heads, put away their pride, and began to listen carefully.

"Between France and Germany, in the Franco-Prussian War, the Germans won a great victory, but they lost the war. For us, what we want to pursue is to be prosperous and always be the winner, so we must dig out our own shortcomings from the victory, and reflect on ourselves more carefully than the loser, otherwise in the next competition, we will taste the bitter fruit of defeat. ”

After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, the audience fell into silence. Yang Yuting said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the marshal has asked me to draw up a list of meritorious soldiers, and you have made great achievements in the Far East Campaign, and you deserve to be commended." I propose, however, to postpone the date of the announcement, and in the meantime inspect all the armies to see if you can go up to the next level, as you have always done. If you become arrogant and arrogant because of victory, such a winner will not last long, and I will ask the commander to lower your reward level. ”

After Yang Yuting finished speaking, all the officers present were dumbfounded, they couldn't imagine that there was such a hand, everyone quickly reflected on it, and saw if they were carried away during this time, if it was because of this, the level of the commendation that was lowered would be too wronged!

Some people are happy, some people are worried, and some people regret it, Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "You go back to do the problems of reflection, and I will arrange someone to inspect you." Now let Chief of Staff Chiang introduce some of the problems we have discovered in the field of weaponry and equipment, as well as the next improvement policy. ”

This news is more exciting than the previous beating, there is no general who doesn't like new equipment, especially if he can develop it by himself and tailor-made it, it will definitely be more comfortable, and everyone is looking at Jiang Baili with anticipation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first thing I want to mention is the water rifle that we are now equipped with, which is the Russian-made Mosinagan rifle, which is undoubtedly a good firearm. But because it is tailor-made for the Russians, the gun is too heavy to grow up, not suitable for the Chinese physique, and when fighting the stab, it consumes a lot of physical strength, I think everyone should have some experience. In addition, because the recoil of this rifle is huge, we ordinary soldiers can't bear it, so we use bullets with reduced charges, which is reduced in power, so we need to replace it with a new rifle, which is more suitable for our needs!
