…………………………………… When Feng Yong ended his trip to the border and returned to Fengtian City, five or six days had passed. Japan has also sent negotiators from Tokyo to Beijing. The Japanese government moved more quickly than ever, and the government was desperate to reap the benefits of China to maintain its shaky cabinet.

Provisional Governor's Palace.

"Father, I'm back!" Feng Yong said with a smile. Although I went to the border this time, although I did not participate in specific battles, I inspected the troops of the Third Brigade and participated in the commendation meeting of the Third Brigade. I was very satisfied with the strong morale of the 3rd Brigade.

When Feng Yong and Li Jun were no longer there, the affairs of the entire three eastern provinces were decided by Feng Delin alone. Moreover, the leadership team of the entire government was all established by Feng Yong and Li Jun, and Feng Delin was not easy to use. However, Feng Delin did not set up another set of leadership groups, and he was relieved to be this puppet governor for his son.

Feng Delin knows that his son is not small and ambitious, but unfortunately because of his young age and lack of qualifications, it is inconvenient to solve many things. And I don't have this problem. And since the last assassination, Feng Delin's health has not been as good as it used to be. In addition, except for Feng Yong, none of the remaining children are outstanding. Feng Delin also put out other thoughts and devoted himself to assisting his son in governing the three eastern provinces. After all, Feng Delin has been the commander of the Northeast for many years, and he has a lot of hidden power in his hands, and Feng Yong, the intelligence agency of the 28th Division, only let him share intelligence with the government's intelligence department, and the control of the intelligence department is still in Feng Delin's hands, and with the annexation of the 28th Division, military generals have been thrown into military academies for re-education, and many government officials have also retired from the position of local lord as deputies, or joined the Green Forest Society presided over by Feng Delin. The Green Forest Club was established under the auspices of Feng Delin, mainly to find a place for the old brothers who started with him in the green forest. Feng Yong also strongly agreed with the Green Forest Society. After all, the old men of the 28th Division made great contributions to the rise of the Feng family. Feng Yong is not a ruthless person, but these people have been comfortable for a long time, and their thinking is relatively old, and they are not suitable for the three eastern provinces that are developing faster and faster. Feng Yong removed most of them for the development of the Northeast. The Northeast needs fresh blood, young officials, and a new atmosphere in officialdom. A large number of aspiring young people who have studied abroad were appointed by Feng Yong to important positions in the government. Feng Delin gathered those old people with aging minds but high prestige, saving Feng Yong a lot of trouble, as for the funds provided for the Green Forest Association every year, it was nothing to the provincial government with deep pockets.

"Yong'er! This is the telegram received by the Governor's Palace during this time, you can take a look! I'm waiting for you to deal with it! Feng Delin handed a few telegrams to Feng Yong. Although Feng Delin has a good eye, he is not as good as Feng Yong. This is admitted. Therefore, Feng Delin will discuss important decisions about the direction of the Northeast with Feng Yong. Of course, Feng Yong only participated in the formulation of the overall development direction, and many specific things still need Feng Delin to take the helm. After all, von Deli has a lot of political experience.

Li Yuanhong, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Xu Shichang. Good guys, all the four giants of the Republic of China government have sent us reports, it seems that the Republic of China government attaches great importance to this peace talks! Damn, I can't understand why they, the bigwigs of the Republic of China, are so afraid of little Japan. Our Northeast Public Security Army dared to start a war with the Japanese by virtue of the bitter cold land of the three provinces, and the government of the Republic of China has the rich hinterland of the Central Plains, so it did not dare to speak hard with the Japanese. Feng Yong said angrily.

Feng Delin glanced at his son helplessly and said: "Yong'er, you are young after all, and you have not experienced the First Sino-Japanese War, nor have you participated in the Russo-Japanese War. Little Japan's deterrence of the government of the Republic of China was fought through these two battles. The Republic of China is not monolithic, and the presidential palace of President Li Da and the State Council of General Duan do not agree with each other. A war with the Japanese is a good thing for the presidential administration, and they can take the opportunity to build up their resolve to protect the country's sovereignty. However, for General Secretary Duan of the State Council, who holds military power but does not grasp the overall interests of the country, there is no benefit in the slightest. After all, it is still the government's army that goes to the battlefield, and it is also the strength of General Duan's family that is consumed. Making wedding dresses for others, of course Mr. Duan is unwilling to do it! "Feng Delin knew very well what was going on in Chinese officialdom at that time.

But why don't they want to think that negotiations without victory in the war will never have the upper hand. Just like in the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan took out the Manchu Beiyang Fleet. The navy was able to defend the country, and the capital of Gyeonggi was leaked under the guns of the Japanese army. In the case of a great military victory, at the time of the peace talks in Shimonoseki, how much did Japan steal benefits from China. Our treasure island, Taiwan, has now been occupied by Japan for more than ten years. The military expenses of the reparations supported little Japan in winning the Russo-Japanese War. It can be said that little Japan stepped on the face of the Chinese people to ascend to the position of a great power. Moreover, Japan's conditions determine that if they want to develop again, they must go on the path of outward expansion. And Japan is surrounded only by China, Korea, and Tsarist Russia. Tsarist Russia was too strong, and even if Japan won the Russo-Japanese War by chance, it did not have the military power to deter Russia from signing an unequal treaty. It can be said that in the Russo-Japanese War, Japan did not take advantage of the Russians in the slightest, but China, as a neutral country, lost a lot of benefits. Jilin and Heilongjiang were destroyed, the minerals of Fengtian Province were plundered by the Japanese, and Japan even shamelessly included the three eastern provinces in its sphere of influence. If it weren't for our appearance, I'm afraid that in a few years, the three eastern provinces would be annexed by Japan like Korea, and the best case would be that Japan would support a puppet regime in the northeast that was completely controlled by the Japanese. The top of the Japanese wolf ambition government will not be blind, but they choose to compromise with the Japanese for their own interests, father, look at it, such people are destined to become sinners of the nation and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history by future generations. Feng Yong said excitedly.

"Hey! Yong'er, my arms can't twist my thighs, although our Northeast Security Army successfully resisted the attack of the Japanese, but the actual situation. You and I both know that there is little hope that Tohoku and Japan will win in full force. If the government of the Republic of China is stabbing us in the back, the result will be even more unimaginable. Therefore, we have to give this face if we want to, and we have to give it if we don't want to give it. Feng Delin said with a sigh. China's national strength is weak, and although the development momentum of Northeast China is very good, after all, the time is too short, and there is still a huge gap compared with Japan, which has developed for several decades. No one can predict what the outcome of the war will be.

"Staff Officer Xu, you go and ask the Chief of Staff and Foreign Minister Shi Yuewang, let's discuss this matter carefully." Feng Yong is not stunned, and he also understands the current situation in the Northeast, and it seems that the Northeast government must come forward to negotiate peace with Beijing.

Feng Delin, Feng Yong, Li Jun, the three are known as the Northeast Big Three. Feng Delin is Feng Shaoshuai's father, and Li Jun is Feng Yong's closest partner. The Northeast was centered on Feng Yong and became the ruling core of the Northeast. Of course, in the eyes of everyone, Feng Delin is the core of leadership, and Li Jun and Feng Yong are just his right-hand men.

"Fatty, this trip to Beijing is up to you!" The chubby Foreign Minister Shi Yuewang looked serious in front of Feng Yong, and even a little restrained.

"Don't worry, young marshal, as long as you know the bottom line of our Governor's Mansion, even if I give up this life, I won't be ashamed of the Northeast Governor's Mansion," Shi Fatzi said solemnly. Although he has been the foreign minister of the Jilin provincial government for a long time, it is the first time that he has negotiated with a representative of a country.

"Father, please go there yourself this time!" Feng Yong doesn't want to go to the front now, after all, his father is not more than fifty years old, and he is still in the prime of life for those who are engaged in politics. In addition, participating in the negotiations as the governor of the northeast can be regarded as giving enough face to both sides of the negotiation. Although Feng Delin, the governor of the Northeast, is self-appointed, the Northeast Security Army firmly controls the territory of the entire three northeastern provinces, and as the actual king of the Northeast, no one dares to underestimate him. Moreover, the Northeast Security Army is a new force of the Beiyang Army from the system point of view, Feng Delin's 28th Division is the unit of the Beiyang Army, and the Northeast Security Army, which was born from the 28th Division, of course, cannot get out of the framework of Beiyang, Feng Delin relies on the 200,000 elite of the Northeast Security Army, and is also defined as a local powerful faction within the Beiyang government, which is why the government only invites the Northeast to go to peace talks. And not the reason for the direct betrayal of the Tohoku to Japan.

Feng Delin nodded. After all, Feng Yong is too young, and he is too sensitive to peace talks with the Japanese, which is related to the face of the whole of China, and impulsiveness cannot solve the problem.

"Commander, I think judging from the current form, the Japanese don't want to go to war with us. Otherwise, Japan would not have inexplicably withdrawn its troops on the northeastern border, and it would not have been so happy in the face of the peace talks proposed by the government of the Republic of China. So, Dashuai, you only need to be tough to the end in this northbound negotiation! If I am not mistaken, the Japanese government does not want to embarrass our Northeast too much, and its purpose is likely to extort profits from the Republic of China government. I believe that through the First World War in the Northeast, Japan has basically figured out that in the Northeast, the authority of the young marshal is heavier. And the young marshal has always been known as a hardliner, he will fight if he is unwilling, and he will not choose to compromise when his forces are gone. This made it difficult for Japan, which could not send troops for some reason. But the intelligence from the discord between the central government of the Republic of China made Japan see an opportunity, the Northeast is tough, but the government of the Republic of China has not been tough, even after the military strongman Yuan Shikai took power, he is known for his smoothness. Therefore, in the name of peace talks, Japan's goal is to join in the excitement of the Republic of China government. ”

Feng Yong nodded, he supported Li Jun's opinion.

"Fatty, as a representative of the Northeast peace talks, you must ensure the interests of our Northeast. As for the conditions of the Japanese, as long as they are not conducive to the development of Northeast China, we will resolutely not agree to them. As long as you and your father don't agree, even if the four strongmen of the Republic of China all sign and agree, it won't count in the three northeastern provinces. In addition, if Japan asks the Tohoku Governor-General's Office to compensate the Japanese miners who have damaged it, then they will also be asked to pay the fines for digging mines in Tohoku without permission. As for the number, if you look at it, I think it's about three times what Japan requires! Young Marshal Ben is a kind person, and he will never do that kind of blackmail. ”

Shi Fatzi was speechless, he didn't expect the young marshal to have such a "free" side. Invisibly, Shi Fatzi's awe of Feng Yong was much smaller.

"Also, fatty, don't forget to ask the Japanese to compensate us for our losses, the Japanese military headquarters sneak attack on the Northeast Security Army, resulting in our losses of tens of thousands of people, and the consumption of weapons and ammunition is even more numerous. Our Northeast has just been reunified, but we don't have Japan's wealth, and we don't need too much compensation, just give a few million silver dollars! Li Jun said with a smile.

Shi Fatzi is even more depressed! I didn't expect the always serious dean to have such a childlike side.

Feng Delin smiled and looked at the relaxed Feng Yong and Li Jun. I sighed in my heart at the courage of the two young people. He made a great name at a young age, but he didn't have the slightest pride. Always down-to-earth planning for the development of Northeast China. At that time, when Feng Yong wanted to be tough on Japan, Feng Delin did have a feeling that the end was imminent, but the two people in front of him still talked and laughed freely when the enemy's army pressed the border, and finally the war turned into peace talks. With this war alone, Japan's power in the three eastern provinces was no longer a cause for concern. At the beginning of the war, who would have thought that this would be the result, the two young people in front of them simply have the ability to turn decay into mystery.

"Fatty, you must always remember that although the Northeast is a subordinate region of the Republic of China, you must negotiate with the Northeast as an independent sovereign country, and you must not be bewitched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China Government. They are all tough internally and soft on the outside, and I hope that our Northeast can be tough all the way to the end. You can talk about it with confidence, if something happens, I will not find you, the foreign minister, and the elite of the 200,000 security forces in the northeast will be your biggest backing. Feng Yong said seriously. This is also an authorization for Shi Fatzi. Although von Deli is the head of the Northeast delegation, the main force of the real negotiations is Foreign Minister Shi Fatzi. Therefore, Feng Yong told him a thousand times, after all, this is the first step for the Northeast to jump out of the region and contact with the country at this level. There must be no stain.

If the provincial government continues to be tough, I am afraid that the Beijing peace talks will continue to drag on, and this delay will be a good thing for the Northeast Governor's Office, after all, now that the Japanese army has returned to Korea, it is unlikely that a war will start in a short time. Will the provincial government be given a chance to breathe, the machinery and equipment seized by the expelled Japanese-funded enterprises also need to be digested, and the Manchurian-Mongolian railway that has been won also needs to be replanned. The current province of Mukden already has the foundation to become a place of foundation. All that remains is to turn the government's wealth into the industrial capacity of the Northeast.

Although Feng Yong knew that the planned economy was not as dynamic as the market economy, the planned economy had a strong sense of purpose and could concentrate all its resources on one point. Feng Yong wanted to replicate the miracle of Soviet industrial development in the original time and space.
