"Yushuai, the matter of the Middle East Road is very troublesome, you had better press it."

In the face of the continuous fermentation of the Sino-Russian conflict, the Beiyang government has been a little anxious, the Feng army has recovered the Middle East Road, greatly increased the national prestige, coupled with the reports of Shao Piaoping and others, there has been a wave of wind in China, young students from all over the country have marched to support the actions of the Feng army.

There are also a large number of people who donate money and materials to support the government's hard-line attitude. Although the public opinion in the country is boiling, the attitude between the great powers is very delicate, especially after the Russians threatened to use force, the pressure on Beiyang increased sharply, Xu Shuzheng had to take Duan Qirui and ran to Fengtian to seek Zhang Zuolin's opinion.

"Secretary-General, how do you say you should press it?"

"Naturally, it is a negotiation, and now Britain and Japan are proposing to form a conference with the participation of all countries, and everyone can determine the ownership of the Middle East Road through negotiations, which I think is a more appropriate measure."

"I think that's very inappropriate!" Zhang Zuolin said angrily: "The Middle East Road is a matter between China and Russia, and it has nothing to do with other countries. The railroad that the soldiers of the Fengjun fought for in exchange for was known to the common people all over the world, can they spit it out in vain? ”

In the face of Zhang Zuolin's questioning, Xu Shuzheng was also dumbfounded, according to Xu Shuzheng's temper, when he encountered this kind of robbery, most of them would explode immediately, but in the face of Hu Shuai who dared to toss with the Russians in front of him, Xu Shuzheng's momentum was unconsciously shorter.

"Yu Shuai, national affairs, you can't be rash, the government has decided to join the Entente, and we and Russia are allies, and everyone is standing in a trench. It should be of one heart and one mind. ”

"Secretary General Xu, we are separated from Germany by 108,000 miles, we participated in the battle, we helped the Entente to shed blood and sacrifice, according to common sense, should they give us some benefits, such as abolishing the lend-lease, recovering tariffs, exempting Gengzi indemnity, and recovering railway power, these things should always be done one or two things. I haven't done the same now. Still let us give away the power we have in hand, do we have such a lowly ally? ”

"Yu Shuai, even if you have thousands of reasons, but we are a weak country, and we don't have that strength in the face of the great powers. Although you have taken back the Middle Road, Russia has mobilized its troops. And the Japanese are still ready to move. If the Feng army loses the battle, it will not be a problem of the Middle East Road, but a crisis will arise in the entire three eastern provinces. ”

"Secretary General Xu. Since you advocate negotiation, how do you want to negotiate, where is our bottom line, and is there a charter for the ownership of the Middle East Road? ”

Xu Shuzheng thought for a while and said, "Since it's a negotiation. We have to sit down and negotiate, if we can manage it together, it is not a very good choice, at least we can get back a little bit of rights and interests, slowly figure it out! ”

Zhang Zuolin secretly despised Xu Shuzheng in his heart, this guy is also known as Xiao Zhuge , and being able to say what he just said proves that he is not Zhuge but a full pig. At such a time, once all countries are in charge, China is bound to be marginalized, and because of the large number of participating powers, if they want to take back the Middle East Road in the future, they will face even greater problems, and they will never even want to take it back.

"Secretary General Xu, Fengjun is willing to negotiate, but this negotiation must be bilateral, that is, between China and Russia, Britain and Japan will give me the fuck out, as for my bottom line, that is, Fengjun must have the power to manage the Middle East Road."

Xu Shuzheng was also very anxious when he saw that there was no way to convince Zhang Zuolin, he barely controlled his anger, and then said: "Yu Shuai, put aside the issue of negotiation first, now Russia has protested to the government, they said that the Feng army sent a small force to invade the territory of Russia, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, I think this kind of provocative behavior must be stopped, otherwise once the two countries start a war, we will be in big trouble." ”

"Secretary General Xu, the news I got is not like this, the rebels who attacked Russia are all rebels in their country, what is it called the Far East Free Army, and it has nothing to do with the Feng army. I would also like to ask if China does not provoke, will the war not be fought? The Russians have long threatened to use force and are actively preparing, people put the muzzle of the gun on our heads, you blindfold and pretend to be confused, what else can you do except deceive yourself? ”

Xu Shuzheng was full of confidence, thinking that after arriving in Fengtian, with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, Chen said that it was powerful, Lao Zhang would definitely repent and obey the arrangements of the central government, and the crisis on the Middle East Road would be resolved.

And Lao Zhang pointed to the key points everywhere, it was not China that chose war, but Russia, they were unwilling to lose their colonial power, so they thought of using war as blackmail, and the Feng army had to fight!

"Yu Shuai is full of confidence, no matter whether he wins or loses, the consequences will be borne by Fengjun." When it came to this, Xu Shuzheng had no way to convince Zhang Zuolin, so he could only leave angrily, and quickly ask Duan Qirui for instructions to see what to do next.

Watching Xu Shuzheng leave, Lao Zhang also felt a huge pressure, the Beiyang government is unreliable, and the great powers are ill-intentioned, what can be counted on now is the road guard army in Zhang Tinglan's hands, if it can defeat the Russians, it will be easy to say anything, if it is defeated, the entire Feng army will be really in trouble.

Zhang Tinglan, who was on the front line, felt even more pressure, since the attack on Shuangchengzi, it completely shook the top of the Russian army, more and more troops were assembled, and the vanguard force had entered the Sino-Russian border.

The Russians are tightly fortified to prevent the invasion of the Feng army, but no matter how dense the net is, there are loopholes, especially since the border between the two sides is long and the Russian political situation is relatively chaotic, there are always loopholes to drill. Small units of the Feng army still frequently crossed the border line, attacked the rear transportation lines of the Russian army, attacked villages and towns, and looted factories and mines, causing great damage to the Russian army.

In the face of the attack of the Feng army, the Russians have endured to the limit, and the supreme commander of the Russian army, Konstantin, is almost going crazy.

If the Feng army could not be defeated quickly and the Middle East Road could be recaptured, the Russian army itself would collapse, so Konstantin did not hesitate to order the Russian army to be ready to start a war at any time.

The Russian army is actively preparing for war, and the same is true for the Feng army, Zhang Tinglan has already given an order to the Feng army patrolling the border line, as long as the Russians launch a provocation, the Feng army must resolutely return fire, and for a while, the patrols of the two sides clashed more and more, and often shot each other cold.

Zhong Junfeng is a student of the first phase of the Fengtian Lecture Martial Arts Hall, according to the original period, they have reached the time of graduation, but due to the tension of the battle, the official graduation ceremony is too late to be held, these students do not have formal officer qualifications, but Zhong Junfeng has no regrets.

In the battle with the Russians, he fought bravely, killed seven Russians with his own hands, and took the lead in entering the telegraph office, because of his military exploits, he had been promoted to platoon commander, as long as he got the graduation certificate of the lecture hall, he was promoted to the company commander, and he was also within a snap of his fingers.

This time, Zhong Junfeng led 20 soldiers and formed a patrol team to patrol along the Sino-Russian border, this kind of patrol is actually very dangerous, there is no real border between China and Russia, and the so-called transit is just a hazy line.

Moreover, in the past, China's military strength was weak, there were no army patrols at all, and the Russians would often invade the Chinese side, but now the Chinese and Russian armies are constantly patrolling the border, and from time to time the patrols will collide head-on, and then there will be an exchange of fire.

In the past few days, more than a dozen soldiers have been wounded or even killed, and of course the same is true on the Russian side, with heavy casualties, so when patrolling now, it is necessary to be careful, as the slightest negligence will have unpredictable consequences.

The Feng army inspected for about ten kilometers in a row, and nothing happened, Zhong Junfeng relaxed a lot, and he took the Feng soldiers to rest in the nearby woods, and everyone drank some water to recover their strength.

While they were chatting, they suddenly noticed a large crowd on the Russian side, numbering hundreds, sneaking around and rushing towards the Chinese side.

Seeing this, Zhong Junfeng immediately became alert, it seems that these Russians did not follow their good intentions, and quietly approached with the soldiers of the Feng Army, forming a sniper position in front of the Russians.

By this time the Russians had already killed, and they kept looking left and right, but did not find any soldiers of the Feng army, and the Russians thought they had a plan, and they quickly ran towards the woods.

During this time, the attacks of the Feng army made the Russians miserable, and the Russians also wanted to let the Feng army taste their strength, so they also organized an attack team, wanting to disturb the rear of the Feng army and rob the Chinese people.

Unfortunately, the first time they acted, they were bumped into by the patrol of the Feng army, Zhong Junfeng They only carried a light machine gun, and the firepower was a little thin, but they did not have any fear, but used the woods to cover themselves and quietly waited for the arrival of the Russians.

Gradually, the distance between the two sides entered within 100 meters, Zhong Junfeng first aimed at the Russian commander who rushed to the front, a gunshot rang out, the officer of the country was shot in the chest, and blood burst out instantly, and before the other Russians could figure out what was going on, the gunshots of the Feng army rang out.

With or without intention, although the Russians were numerous, they were also stunned by the sudden bullets, and the Madsen machine guns of the Feng army chirped happily, as if they were about to spill joy, and with the tongues of fire spewed out by the machine guns, more and more Russian soldiers were knocked down.

After a period of panic, the Russian soldiers finally began to raise their guns and return fire, and the soldiers on both sides were only thinking about how to kill more opponents, and they did not know that the second official battle between the Feng army and the Russian army began.
