At the gate of the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Zuolin watched the two Russians leave.-. -
Zhang Zuoxiang, who was standing beside him, asked softly: "Sir, do we want to defect to these Russians?"
Zhang Zuolin's eyes flashed with jing, and he said slowly: "Travel? This is what they ask us to do, how can we say to win? They pay and shoot, as long as we help do something when necessary."
"Sir, what do you think these Russians will ask us to do?" Zhang Zuoxiang asked again.
Zhang Zuolin replied slowly: "The Russians have been transporting troops to our northeast, and the people on the road said that he is also moving around in China. There may be a war between Russia, and then it will definitely affect it.
Come to us."
"Our New Minfu is still far from the Russians' power. When they fight, won't they fight here?"
Zhang Zuolin's eyes turned cold and scolded: "Natural, naive! Will those Westerners and Easterners regard us Chinese as individuals? Will they care about our lives and death? What they are fighting for is the territory of the Northeast, and the court has no
We have the ability to survive. If we want to survive in the cracks, it is difficult. In short, let them fight to the death. Whoever has the greatest power will stand on whoever is on the side."
"These dogs regard our Northeast as their backyard!"
…
Fengtian, General Shengjing's General Zengqi looked indignant, but he did not dare to argue. In front of him, a Russian consul stood.
The Russian consul despised Zengqi and said aggressively: "General. All the Dongqing Railways are of great importance. You are responsible for protecting them. Your people arbitrarily destroy the railway, resulting in a disconnection and misleading military affairs. This will not only damage the cost of railway projects,
Your country should compensate you.[. Even if you make mistakes in military affairs and cause losses, your country should also bear the burden. The Zhangjiaji Railway Bridge was destroyed by your people. This caused our country to lose more than 100,000 taels of silver. You also ask your country to take charge of it.
fu is compensated at the price to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.”
Zengqi said carefully: "This was demolished by bandits. Moreover, I heard that this matter is related to Ri himself, but it has nothing to do with my Qing Dynasty."
"Is it okay?" The Russian Consul took a step forward and oppressed: "Did this army have already landed in the northeast of your country? Since it has not landed, it is done by your people and your country is unable to restrain the people, so you should compensate at the price."
"It's impossible to make this mistake. The bandits were instructed by others and had nothing to do with our Qing Dynasty. It's impossible to compensate." Zengqi couldn't help but object.
The Russian consul smiled and asked calmly: "What do you mean is that your country does not have the ability to protect the Dongqing Railway, nor does it have the ability to restrain the people of its own country. What the people of its own country do has nothing to do with your country?
”
Zengqi replied without hesitation: "That's right!"
"Since this is the case, our country will send troops to help your country maintain order and protect the Dongqing Railway on its own." The Russian consul showed a victorious smile.
Zengqi suddenly felt something was wrong and asked in fear: "What do you want to do?"
The Russian consul smiled slightly and said calmly: "General, our army has been in cities such as Liaoyang today!"
"What?" Zengqi was shocked and fell from the chair and fell to the ground with weakness.
The Russian army has also arrived in these places, but after the withdrawal agreement, it began to slowly evacuate. Now, it is undoubtedly preparing for the Russian War. They did this to take the lead in occupying these places.
These strategic areas are built fortifications.
…
On December 21, 1902, Russia refused to withdraw its troops on the grounds that the Qing Dynasty could not maintain order in the Northeast and could not ensure the safety of its railway trunk lines, but instead sent troops to occupy a large number of strategic areas of the three northeastern provinces.
As soon as the news spread, it aroused the indignation of the people of China.
Indignation, but Qing zhengfu was no longer able to maintain its rule in the Northeast and Zhili. China, which had just suffered from war, had more than 30,000 troops in Zhili and Fengtian, and at least 10,000 troops to defend the capital.
In this way, only 20,000 troops could be dispatched were left.
In the Liaoyang Reclamation Area of Black Soil, the members of the guards were also facing a great enemy. The first batch of 5,000 Russian troops had entered Liaoyang City that afternoon, and Liaoyang City was only 30 kilometers away from the Black Soil Company's reclamation area.
As long as the Russians are willing, they can get here in half a day.
Therefore, although it was cold outside, the reclamation households also built fortifications everywhere according to Liu Zhenming's order.
Liu Zhenming's Tangshan Ash Factory produced cement a month ago, and the current cement was not taken out, but was transported to Fengtian for military purposes.
"Build two machine gun strongholds here! Add another trench here!" Liu Zhenming led the generals to keep giving guidance everywhere, and he wanted to build this place into a military fortress.
Barbed wire, bunkers, turrets, tunnels, underground fortifications, deep defense, crisscrossing, and the layout of firepower strongholds has been calculated by the heart. Once completed, it will definitely be like a hedgehog full of thorns. Who wants to come up and take a bite?
It will definitely cause you to suffer heavy losses.
Of course, it is still in the preliminary construction stage at this time, and there is not much time left for Liu Zhenming. The Russian team began to enter the strategic location of the three northeastern provinces. When they return to the land, they must be the Russian warriors. They want to
It is unimaginable that there is no super strong defense base within the sphere of influence of both sides.
"How about grain storage?" Liu Zhenming looked at Yang Junzhong, the manager of Black Soil Agriculture Company.
Yang Junzhong quickly replied: "Reply to Mr. Liu, we have been purchasing and storing grains. The food here is enough for 30,000 people to use for a year."
"It's not enough, it's far from enough. Continue to increase the efforts of acquisitions! Moreover, the elderly, weak, women and children should start to transfer to the other two reclamation areas."
"Yes, Mr. Liu!" Yang Junzhong was secretly shocked while recording it. When he saw the fortifications here, Liu Zhenming said so again. How could he not be shocked?
"Ergou, how is the training of the guard team?" Liu Zhenming looked at Zhang Qianzi again.
Li Ergou smiled and said, "When you say that Mr. Liu, there are 3,000 guard soldiers in the three reclamation areas!"
"Train another three thousand new recruits."
"Yes, Mr. Liu!"
After pausing, Liu Zhenming glanced at Ban Zhichao again and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Ban, do you have any new news in this regard?"
One-eyed Dragon Ban Zhichao replied slightly restrainedly: "After Mr. Liu's words, according to the information I have obtained, the General Staff has begun to formulate a combat plan against Russia."
"Very good, please notify us as soon as possible if there is any latest news!" Liu Zhenming touched his beard and frowned: "Also, has the problem of wanting a batch of cannons been solved last time to ask your country for a problem of wanting a batch of cannons?"
"This, if Mr. Liu wants a gun, it should be easy, but if he wants a cannon, there may be some problems." Ban Zhichao replied carefully.
"Fuck you guys, what are you doing? In order to help you, my brothers attacked Zhangjiaji at night, blew up the Russian railway bridge, annihilated more than 200 Russian troops, and suffered 600 casualties.
Do you want to support a few heavy machine guns and cannons?” Liu Zhenming said in a singular manner: “Your country does this, it will only make us feel heartbroken. Who else will do your country in the future
Woolen cloth?"
Li Ergou and his men held back their smiles and said nothing. They obviously wiped out 300 Russian troops last time, and only 50 casualties were killed or killed.
However, even if Liu Zhenming honestly told Ri himself, he probably wouldn't believe it.
"This, yourselves, I was scolded by the General Staff last time because of this matter!" Ban Zhichao said embarrassedly: "Second Chief of Staff, Mr. Gentaro, said I was provoking myself."
"Mr. Ban, why are you so stupid? Your country's power in the Northeast is very weak and cannot be compared with the Russians. I believe that most of the Hu bandits will definitely choose to surrender to the Russians, and we only have in the Northeast.
Only by doing a few big things can you show your country's strength here can you attract more people to join the war against Russia."
Ban Zhichao's eyes lit up and he quickly responded: "Hay, you are right. I will explain this to the General Staff. For the victory of the Dari Empire, a small investment is very worthwhile."
"Just know!"
Liu Zhenming was talking, a soldier walked to his side with a happy face and muttered softly: "Captain, we are connected to our home."
After being able to contact the Chinese city via radio, Liu Zhenming smiled and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, I'll go and have a look." dd
