Zhang Tinglan was very satisfied with Felix's completely cooperative attitude. He really needed to support an agent, especially since Felice was the nephew of the Tsar, with royal blood flowing through him, and he was also very shrewd.
He has a certain appeal and is a person worthy of support.
"Old friend, there is no problem in providing you with arms. I can also provide you with food and funds in large quantities, but I want to know, what do you really want and what is your goal?"
"Of course we control the army. Is there any doubt about this?"
"That's not what you meant. I want to ask what your ultimate goal is, to eradicate the majority party and restore the authority of the tsar, or do you just want to keep your power and maintain your position in the Far East?"
After hearing this, Felice was a little confused. He really didn't think about this problem now. All his energy was on how to stabilize his subordinates, and he didn't think too much. But after Zhang Tinglan's reminder, he also
I have to think about this issue.
"Zhang, of course I hope to restore the glory of the Tsar and completely eliminate the majority party!" Felice said firmly after thinking for a while.
"In this case, we need to carefully design a plan of action. You can't just focus on hard power, but also think about soft power. You must make full use of your own advantages and bring all the forces loyal to the tsar into one place. Only in this way can you and the organization
Strict majority party confrontation, but also learn to use the assistance of countries around the world, so that you can gain a firm foothold."
"Zhang, my mind is completely messed up right now. Can you help me formulate a plan?"
Zhang Tinglan nodded slightly, thought for a while and said: "Old friend, the life and death of His Majesty the Tsar's family is now uncertain. I suspect that due to the style of the majority party, they have been killed. I suggest that you use the banner of His Majesty the Tsar, appoint yourself regent, and form the Supreme Court of Russia.
Provisional government, win the support of all countries in the world, and then use the Far East as a base to counterattack in the direction of Europe. Only in this way can you be justified and call on more Russians to support you!"
After Felix thought about it, he felt that this method was indeed good, but now there is still a little trouble. He smiled bitterly and said: "Zhang, if you want to form a provisional government and want the world to recognize me, I must at least own a piece of territory.
Having a group of subordinates who follow me is how I can gain attention."
"Yes, I can help you with all of this. Get Khabarovsk first. This is your temporary capital. I will send Fengjun to help you control the situation and provide you with enough arms and funds!"
"Old friend, thank you for your help." Felice was also a little touched. Although he and Zhang Tinglan were using each other, at this time, he should be grateful for being able to take the initiative to lend a hand and help him.
"As long as Russia is restored, I will definitely repay you. I can make you a prince!" Felice, who was in a much better mood, also made a rare joke with Zhang Tinglan.
Supporting Felix was definitely not a small matter, and Zhang Tinglan did not dare to make a casual decision on his own. He immediately sent a secret telegram to Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang, introducing them to the situation in the Far East and giving his own judgment.
Supporting a foreign force and acting as their own agent has always been what the great powers have done. They have continued to support various warlords in China, and now suddenly Fengjun has to go to Russia to support a force. For Lao Zhang,
That being said, it is still a completely new thing.
He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, so he could only call Yang Yuting and Wang Yongjiang over to hear their opinions.
"Commander, the Outer Northeast used to be our territory, but it was occupied by the Russians. This time I sent troops to Hailanpao to restore our administrative jurisdiction, which caused a great response in the country. All walks of life were very enthusiastic about Feng Jun.
Voice of support, I think we should continue to take bolder actions, and it is best to take back all the outer Northeast. In this way, the commander-in-chief's prestige will be at its peak, unparalleled, and it is not impossible to take control of Beijing by then.
"
Yang Yuting's words were full of agitation, and Lao Zhang felt very comfortable listening to them. Now the chaos in the Beiyang government is still going on, Li Yuanhong has been ousted, Feng Guozhang has become the president, and Lao Duan continues to serve as the prime minister of the cabinet. As a result, Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui
There was another conflict between them. The two sides were originally old brothers from the military training days at the small station. They were also known as the Three Heroes of Beiyang. They should have been close to each other.
But when it came time to actually fight for power, they were not polite at all. The new round of government and court battles was even more lively than when Li Yuanhong was in office. Regarding this situation, many people have become more and more disappointed with Beiyang.
At the same time, the strength of the Feng clan was getting stronger and stronger, and its status was getting higher and higher. Lao Zhang's ambitions were expanding faster and faster. Hearing Yang Yuting's words, he also showed a hint of joy.
Wang Yongjiang on the side frowned slightly and said: "Commander, Chief of Staff, you can't just think about the good side in everything, but also look at whether our own strength is enough. The situation in Russia is very complicated. If it is mixed too deeply, I will
We are afraid that the entire Fengjun army will be involved, after all, our foundation is too weak to act recklessly."
Wang Yongjiang's opinion was also for Fengjun's consideration. After all, in the Far East, no one can guarantee whether the expected results can be achieved with a small and broad approach.
Lao Zhang couldn't help but fell into deep thought. Yang Yuting thought for a while and then said: "Commander, the Northeast is between two empires. If you want to develop, you must eliminate the threat on one side and deal with the other side with all your strength. This is also
Zhuoyan has repeatedly said that Russia has fallen into civil strife. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must not be missed. If the commander is worried, I am willing to go north with Director Chang and discuss it carefully with Zhuoyan."
The so-called Director Chang is Chang Yinhuai. After Wang Yongjiang's recommendation, Chang Yinhuai has become the director of the Fengtian Investigation Bureau, specifically responsible for intelligence work. He was asked to go north to assess the situation in Russia.
"Linge, since you took the initiative to ask for help, then go ahead and discuss everything with Zhuoyan, and don't make arbitrary decisions!"
"Understood!" Yang Yuting hurriedly left the handsome man's house, pulled Chang Yinhuai with him, and the two of them carried him on his back together.
Lao Zhang sat dully in the commander's mansion and was not in a hurry to leave. Wang Yongjiang also sat aside. Lao Zhang sighed for a long time and then said: "Minyuan, Fengjun seems to be prospering. But most of these achievements are based on humble words.
It was done, and now the border guards have repeatedly made military exploits, hey..."
When Lao Zhang said this, he let out a long sigh. Wang Yongjiang didn't understand what it meant. Originally, Lao Zhang was just a division commander, nervously caught between various forces. Zhang Tinglan helped him make suggestions and expand his strength. Lao Zhang also
There won't be too much suspicion.
But now the Fengjun army controls four provinces. It has elite soldiers and generals, and the world is in such a mess. Everyone has the ambition to compete in the Central Plains, and Lao Zhang is no exception. For Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan and his son who are getting stronger and stronger.
Lao Zhang became more and more afraid.
Wang Yongjiang understands Lao Zhang's thoughts very well, and he also knows that this kind of thinking is the most normal thought of a superior. As long as he has some thoughts, don't think about giving them away. Wang Yongjiang is also secretly worried about Zhang Tinglan. Speaking of Wang Yongjiang,
Yongjiang still admires Zhang Tinglan's ability and vision.
If Zhang Tinglan could be ten years older, Wang Yongjiang would definitely abandon Lao Zhang and follow Zhang Tinglan without hesitation. This is because Zhang Tinglan is at his age. Coupled with Zhang Zuoxiang's relationship, it will be too difficult to form his own group. If he continues
If it continues to develop, the Fengtian faction may be threatened with splitting again. Wang Yongjiang cannot help but worry.
"The commander-in-chief, the auxiliary commander, and Zhuo Yan and his son are all loyal to you, and the momentum of the Fengjun army has just picked up. Japan is still a serious problem, so we should unite sincerely. In addition, many generals have emerged in the Fengjun army and are good at martial arts.
The second batch of students in the hall will graduate soon. You might as well promote some new generals and then recruit these students to the front line."
Lao Zhang thought for a while and nodded with a smile: "It's not that I don't believe in my words. This child's public mind is far greater than his selfish mind. It's just that I'm worried that he is still young. If there are a large group of people around him, there will inevitably be some noise, and it will be easy for him to make noises.
I can’t hold it anymore.”
"Commander, Chief of Staff Yang and Director Chang are now heading north together. With them by your side, don't worry!"
Before Yang Yuting and the others arrived at Hailan, Zhang Tinglan had already begun to make some preparations. Since several arsenals began to produce water rifles on their own, they began to make some modifications. After all, Russian-made rifles are aimed at people with tall horses.
The large Russian design has some differences from the Chinese body shape, making it a little inconvenient to use.
Therefore, the arsenal began some exploration and improvements, mainly reducing the butt of the gun, shortening the barrel by five centimeters, and adjusting the trigger and other parts. Overall, the original mature design was retained, but the rifle was made more suitable for China.
human body.
After modification, the barrel of the gun was shortened, and the shooting accuracy was slightly worse, but it was enough for ordinary soldiers. No matter how high the accuracy was, they would not be able to use it as long as they could maintain their accuracy within two to three hundred meters.
That’s it.
Now Fengjun's arsenal is producing new types of Shui Lianzhu. The original old guns are basically going to be eliminated. However, these guns cannot be wasted. They have all been collected and handed over to Felix to arm the Russian army.
*Team, this can be regarded as making full use of resources.
Zhang Tinglan prepared 15,000 rifles and 40 76mm mountain cannons in one go. They were all old goods left behind by the Feng army. Many of them were smuggled from Russia and were now sold back to Russia.
Man, I have to say that this is a very ridiculous deal.
But Felice couldn't care less. In fact, the most valuable thing Zhang Tinglan brought out was not these second-hand weapons, but one million loads of grain. For the Russians, grain is the most precious thing, worth more than gold.
, with these grains, Felix can at least feed his men and stabilize the morale of the army.
Felice was overjoyed to get these things. At this time, Yang Yuting and Chang Yinhuai also arrived in Hailanpao. When they met Yang Yuting said: "I'd like to say, Marshal, they are still a little hesitant. They are worried that supporting the Russians will bring
Come on, are you sure?"
"Linge, are you paying attention to the developments in the United States and Japan?"
"Idiot, why did you suddenly talk about this?"
"The world is playing chess. I have received intelligence. There is a Tsarist Russian admiral named Kolchak who went into exile in the United States a few months ago, and then received the support of the United States, and then went to Japan. Now the United States and Japan are preparing to
He was elected as the supreme consul and acted as a pawn to intervene in Russia."
While listening, Yang Yuting rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile: "I understand what I mean. You are saying that it is not just us, but other countries are doing this too, so we don't have to worry."
"That's right, if we support an agent, we can't get any real benefits, and it can also muddy the waters in the Far East. It only benefits us, and has no harm. We can do it with confidence and boldness!"
Yang Yuting also smiled and said: "I just said that I never do anything I'm not sure about. In this case, I think I can take action!"
Chang Yinhuai, who had been silent on the side, also said: "Since we want to support Felix, we must prevent this guy from getting out of our control. It is best to put some people around him to monitor his every move!"
"This is what should be done. I will arrange an officer corps for Felix to help him train the army. As for what personnel to deploy, Director Chang has the final say. I don't dare to ask!" (To be continued!
