German artillery, absolutely world-class. When he was unable to produce advanced artillery, Wu Haoxuan could only choose to buy it from the Germans. The German Army's 210 mm heavy rapid-fire cannon, 240 mm heavy cannon and 280 mm heavy howitzer are all very nice things. Not only is the rate of fire fast, but it is extremely powerful. The only certainty is probably that it is too heavy.

Wu Haoxuan planned to buy a batch of these cannons from the Germans and use them as train guns to attack the Japanese fortresses. In addition, after the unification of the Northeast, it is also necessary to build coastal defense positions in various important ports.

Wu Haoxuan directly handed over the purchase of heavy artillery from Germany to the American Xihua Group. Krupp would certainly not turn down such a large business. However, it will take time to negotiate with the Germans and then ship it back home. I probably can't count on it anytime soon. Wu Haoxuan instructed the Xihua Group to find a way to get a few 210-mm rapid-fire cannons from the Germans first. In this case, it can be regarded as a killer feature.

German Krupp 210-mm heavy rapid-fire cannon with shells weighing 108 kg, a maximum rate of fire of 3 rounds per minute, and a maximum range of 13,400 meters. If you have a few of these huge guns in hand, you should not have to be afraid of the Japanese 280-mm heavy howitzers at all. During the entire Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese put in no more than a dozen 280-mm heavy howitzers.

While the Jilin Army was expanding its army on a large scale and training intensively, the other two forces in the northeast were not idle. With the support of the Japanese, Zhang Yuting selected some elites from the beard that entered Fengtian, plus recruited some soldiers, and once again formed five independent brigades. This brings the total strength of the Jilin Army to more than 75,000 people. Zhang Yuting's 27th Town is undoubtedly the main force, and the other ten independent brigades are also elite units with all-Japanese weapons.

After the expansion of the army, Zhang Yuting can be regarded as a strong soldier. Even if it can't be compared with the Jilin Army, it is also a hegemon among the forces outside the Guan. What's more, Zhang Yuting also received the full support of the Japanese. Yuan Datou in the pass also intended to let Zhang Yuting act as a-stirring stick in the northeast and let the northeast be in chaos, so that the Beiyang Army would have enough time to destroy Duanfang, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang.

Under the influence of many parties, the situation in the Northeast has become very tense. Even ordinary people have felt the atmosphere of the coming war. Many people rushed to buy food and other necessities to avoid that once the war began, there would not be enough food to survive. During the Russo-Japanese War, many people starved to death in the entire Tohoku.

Zhang Yuting sharpened his knife, and Feng Linge was not unaware of it. In addition to the Rehe Special Zone, Feng Lin Pavilion also occupied Taonan Province in Mukden Province. After conquering the Mongol tribes of Rehe, it was also greatly strengthened. The main force of the 28th town, plus three mixed associations, and a Mongol cavalry, are also strong and strong. Before Zhang Yuting's expansion of the army, Feng Linge was completely capable of confronting Zhang Yuting. However, after Zhang Yuting once again expanded his army by five independent brigades and supported more than 70,000 soldiers, the army under Feng Linge's command was less than half of Zhang Yuting's.

The Rehe Special Zone, Chengde, was originally a summer resort in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. However, after the Northeast was controlled by the warlords, it had become Feng Linge's lair. The 28th town of Feng Lin Court is located here.

Compared with the three provinces of Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang, Rehe is undoubtedly the worst one. Not only are the economic conditions poor, but the population is also small. The Mongol tribes were even more hostile to foreign powers. After Feng Linge became the master of Rehe, it took a lot of time to settle these Mongolian tribes. This also constrained his development. The gap between him and Zhang Yuting is getting bigger and bigger.

"Dashuai, something is wrong! According to the inside information we have, Zhang Yuting has expanded his army by five more independent brigades, and now the army under Zhang Dashuai's command has reached more than 75,000 people, more than double that of us. A middle-aged general said to Feng Linge with an anxious face. He is a general under Feng Linge and Qin Hua, chief of staff of the Rehe Army. After graduating from the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, he won the trust of Feng Linge.

"Zhang Yuting is a very ambitious person, and I have known this for a long time. It's a pity that he lost to him in the battle for Mukden that year. Otherwise, where would he be so arrogant! "Defeat in the struggle with Zhang Yuting for Fengtian has always been a pain in Wu Xingquan's heart.

"Dashuai, what should we do now? Zhang Yuting has expanded his army so much, he must have come at us. Qin Hua said. Among the three forces in the Northeast now, Rehe is the weakest. If Zhang Yuting wanted to do it, the target was obviously Feng Linge.

Feng Linge was silent, among the four brothers, he had always been conceited, and he didn't take anyone else in his eyes at all except Zhang Yuting. Even Zhang Yuting, he didn't think it was better than him. However, from the current point of view, the power of the four is only the smallest. Of course, Ma Tengxi, who has already married Wu Xingquan, has withdrawn from the hegemony.

Among the three forces in the Northeast, the most powerful is Wu Xingquan's Jilin, which is somewhat unexpected by Feng Linge. After all, among the four brothers, Wu Xingquan is notoriously unambitious, and pleasure is his greatest hobby. However, Wu Xingquan now has more than 100,000 troops under his command, and has undoubtedly become the largest force in the Northeast. As for Zhang Yuting, he has always been ambitious. Feng Linge had already taken precautions against this.

"Dashuai, why don't we send someone to contact Zhang Dashuai, and the two families will form an alliance to deal with Wu Dashuai. Otherwise, if we start a war with Zhang Dashuai, won't we let Wu Dashuai sit and reap the benefits? Wu Dashuai's strength was originally the strongest. If we lose both of Zhang Dashuai, wouldn't we give the entire Northeast to Wu Dashuai? Qin Hua persuaded him. In his opinion, Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting joined forces to fight against Wu Xingquan, which was the best choice.

Feng Linge shook his head: "Zhang Yuting won't agree, he is a person with great ambitions." This time he wants to attack me, obviously he wants to defeat me in the shortest possible time, and then absorb my strength and use Fengtian and Rehe to fight against Wu Xingquan. Only in this way can he have the strength to compete with Wu Xingquan. Otherwise, he is definitely not Wu Xingquan's opponent.

If we ally with him, he will fear our betrayal. Therefore, it is his plan to destroy us, and then swallow us to confront Wu Xingquan. ”

"However, although we are the weakest, we are not so easy to beat. Once we fight back, doesn't that give Wu Dashuai a chance? Qin Hua was a little puzzled.

"Qin Hua, you forgot about the Japanese. Zhang Yuting had the support of the Japanese, so he dared to attack us unscrupulously. Presumably, the Japanese will buy him enough time. Feng Linge sighed.

Originally, Feng Linge's relationship with the Japanese was not bad. However, between him and Zhang Yuting, the Japanese now chose Zhang Yuting and abandoned him. Although, Feng Linge hooked up with Lao Maozi again. But Lao Maozi has just suffered a defeat and is still recovering. It's too far away from Rehe, and the help I can give him is really not much.

"Dashuai, what should we do then?" Qin Hua really lost his sense of proportion at this time. No matter how you look at it, Rehe seems to be dead this time! They simply can't be Zhang Yuting's opponents.

"Qin Hua, you can go to Jilin. Since Zhang Yuting wants to swallow me, then don't blame me for dying with him. Negotiate with Wu Xingquan, as long as he agrees to keep my Rehe territory, I will do my best to drag Zhang Yuting and swallow the opportunity of Fengtian to create a zào for them. A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Feng Linge's eyes.

Feng Linge is also born with a beard and has always acted ruthlessly. Zhang Yuting wants to swallow his territory and power, of course he will rise up and resist, even if it is to fight with Zhang Yuting.

"Dashuai, will Dashuai Wu keep his promise? What if we lose both of us and Zhang Dashuai, and he takes the opportunity to annex us after annexing Mukden? Qin Hua was a little worried.

"Now I can't care so much, I can only gamble. Even if I'm finished, I will definitely not make Zhang Yuting feel better. Feng Linge said viciously.

The contradiction between Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting has been going on for a long time. As early as when Zhao Erxun was the general of Shengjing, the two began to fight. It's just that Zhang Yuting gained Zhao Erxun's trust, thus completely suppressing Feng Linge.

After the Shengjing Incident, in the struggle for Fengtian Province, Feng Linge once again failed. This makes the contradiction between Feng Linge and Zhang Yuting irreconcilable.

Now, in order to have enough strength to fight against Wu Xingquan, Zhang Yuting actually hit Feng Linge again. This is just a look of eating him! Feng Linge was originally a person with a rather bad temper. was bullied by Zhang Yuting like this, of course he wanted to fight hard with Zhang Yuting.

"Okay, Sir." Qin Hua nodded, he also knew that there was no way out.

At the end of July 1906, Qin Hua arrived in Jilin and had a secret conversation with Wu Xingquan and his son. Wu Xingquan's father and son assured Qin Hua that as long as Feng Linge could hold Zhang Yuting back, the future Rehe would still be Feng Linge's.

Of course, such a guarantee must not be taken seriously. Wu Haoxuan's purpose is to unify the entire Northeast, except for Fengtian, Jilin and Heilongjiang, Rehe will definitely not give up. Now agreeing to Feng Linge's conditions is just to stabilize him and let him fight with Zhang Yuting to lose both.
