Chapter 125: Consuading Feng Delin
The north gate of Fengtian opened, and Feng Delin, who was full of spring breeze, walked out slowly surrounded by guards and soldiers. There was a cheer from the headquarters of the security province.
"Father!" Feng Yong strode up to catch up! Hold Feng Delin's hand tightly.
"Yong'er! Zhang Yuting and I have signed an alliance. These three eastern provinces are ours! Feng Delin said excitedly. The three eastern provinces! In such a short period of time, it all fell into the hands of their father and son, which was unimaginable before. But now it's a reality. This is all the credit of the young man in front of him, who would have thought. A year ago, he led hundreds of recruits north to Jilin alone, and a year later, he led 50,000 or 60,000 elite troops south, and Zhang Zuolin was defeated in one fell swoop. What a contrast.
"Thank you father!" Feng Yong couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and said.
"Let's go! Let's go back to Shenbei County first, and then talk about other things when we completely take Fengtian Province. ”
After all, Zhang Zuolin has been operating in Fengtian for many years, and the relationship here is intertwined, and it is definitely not possible to complete the withdrawal in a day or two. Fengtian City, as Zhang Zuolin's foundation, is not something that can be vacated in a short period of time. Feng Yong is not in a hurry, he has superior troops, and with the covenant signed by Zhang Zuolin in his hand, it is too late for Zhang Zuolin to regret it. Now the news that the Feng family peacefully received Fengtian City has spread all over Fengtian. All forces, whether sincere or false, sent congratulatory messages to the Feng family in charge of Fengtian. For Zhang Zuolin, an outdated big man, few people pay attention to it. Officialdom is so indifferent. It is a reality for people to go to tea and cool.
In Shenbei County, Feng Delin and Feng Yong, father and son, stood in front of the huge military map, and the atmosphere in the room was a little solemn.
"Father, the 28th Division will be merged into the Public Security Corps!" Feng Yong said.
Feng Delin frowned, he handed over the command of the 28th Division to Feng Yong before entering Fengtian, but that was because it was too dangerous to enter Fengtian, and Feng Delin could not guarantee that he would be able to come out safely. Just in case, he handed over the command of the 28th Division to Feng Yong. During the less than a day that Feng Delin stayed in Fengtian, Feng Yong did not give any orders to the 28th Division, but only asked them to continue to stick to Fuxin and wait for the further development of the situation in Fengtian.
Now that Feng Delin has returned safely and Zhang Zuolin has also agreed to the dictatorship Chahar, then Feng Delin will become the rightful Fengtian overseer. Although it was his own son, Feng Yong still couldn't figure out what he thought. When Feng Delin came back from Fengtian City, he never mentioned the matter of the 28th Division, nor did he take back the command in Feng Yong's hands. Feng Yong didn't have the patience of Feng Delin, Feng Delin didn't say it, he took the initiative to put it forward. After all, it's father and son, what can't be said.
"Yong'er, is there really no need for the 28th Division to exist?" Watching the 28th Division he founded was annexed, Feng Delin felt very uncomfortable. Although he had already decided to hand over the 28th Division to Feng Yong, he really felt uncomfortable when he really saw this day.
"Father, I do not deny the combat effectiveness of the 28th Division, especially the remaining 1st and 2nd Brigades are all elite in a hundred battles. But there was a problem with the system in my father's twenty-eighth division. In particular, the full-time training system and the most harmful Japanese instructor system. I believe you can see it from the battle of Mukden! Without the assistance of Japanese instructors, the combat effectiveness of the 28th Division dropped by at least 20 percent. Father, what is in our own hands is our own. If we encounter a life-and-death battle, without the authorization of Japan, the Japanese instructors will not participate in the war, as this time. And because of these instructors, although the 28th Division was easily supported by the Japanese, it also had no secrets in front of the Japanese. This is unthinkable for a country's defense forces. Feng Yong said to Feng Delin with a solemn expression. Father and son had never discussed the issue of the military system in such depth.
Feng Delin looked at Feng Yong with some shock and said, "Yong'er, do you want to ......?"
It seems that Feng Delin has understood what he meant. Feng Yong nodded without hesitation and said: "Father, this northeast is now in our hands, and the next step is to enter Mongolia westward, with the Mongolian steppe as the backing, the strategic depth of our forces can also be regarded as there." When the time comes, there will be no fear of the forces around you. Anyone who dares to pay attention to the three eastern provinces will become our enemy. Especially the Japanese and Russians. It is foreseeable that in the near future, we will definitely have a war with these two countries. ”
Feng Delin looked shocked, thinking that it was one thing, but it was the first time Feng Yong really said it. Even to his closest wives and his partner Li Jun, Feng Yong never confided in his thoughts. Li Jun analyzed Feng Yong's thoughts with his keen intuition, and during this time, he was also silently preparing for Feng Yong's plan. Although the two have not communicated clearly, they have a tacit understanding with each other, and Li Jun can grasp Feng Yong's thoughts very accurately. This is also the reason why Feng Yong has great trust in Li Jun.
This is the first time he has confided his thoughts in front of others, and the object is his own son Feng Delin. In Feng Yong's plan, Feng Delin is very important, the father and son have little communication and lack of tacit understanding between each other, so Feng Yong can only open up. He believed that Feng Delin could understand what he meant.
"Yong'er, are you crazy? Who else have you talked to about this idea? Feng Delin said nervously. Now even the government of the Republic of China does not dare to start a war with the Japanese, and Feng Yong, a small local warlord, dares to have such a rebellious idea.
"Father, little Japan is not two arms against one head, what is there to fear. When we occupy the Mongolian steppes and have strategic depth, we will take advantage of the huge needs of the western battlefield to make war profits and build our own industrial base. I believe that it will not be long before we can build a stronger armed force. You should also see from the vigilantes. Our Chinese soldiers are no worse than foreigners, why can't our team beat the enemy. The main thing is that our logistics can't keep up. In my vision, with the three eastern provinces as the foundation and the Mongolian steppes as the backing, we will establish an industrial base, and the troops will have a unified standard of equipment and a sufficient supply of ammunition, and our northeast will definitely become a force that cannot be ignored in the whole of Asia. ”
"Yong'er, how can the industrial foundation be so easy to build! Japan has not yet developed for decades, and it has relied on the strength of the whole country to achieve what it is today. Our Northeast is sparsely populated, how can it be compared to Japan. Feng Delin is still not optimistic about Feng Yong's plan.
"Father! Before the Meiji Restoration, Japan's domestic situation was not as good as that of our Tohoku. Moreover, Japan is an island country, and domestic resources are scarce, and there is no comparison with the rich resources of our three eastern provinces. Moreover, their industrial development is very uneven, the domestic contradictions are equally acute, and their social system is not the most advanced. It imitates the German social system, but does not have the strong industrial base of Germany. After fighting a Russo-Japanese War, it could not recover for more than ten years. Such a country has nothing to fear. Feng Yong said disdainfully.
Feng Delin shook his head, Feng Yong is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. However, Feng Delin, who personally experienced the Russo-Japanese War, knew the strong combat effectiveness of the Japanese army. Moreover, Japan has a complete military service system in Japan, and its war potential is much greater than that of Tohoku. Coupled with the Japanese occupation of Korea and important seaports such as Port Arthur in Mukden Province, Japan's powerful navy could send its domestic forces to the various shores of Mukden at any time. The North Korean army even looks down on the hinterland of the three eastern provinces. It is easy to break into the interior of the three eastern provinces. Even the northeastern towns of Mukden and Changchun are threatened.
"Father, don't worry, of course I'm not stupid to go to war with the Japanese now. What we need to do now is to make every effort to develop the industries of the three eastern provinces and enhance the combat effectiveness of the Public Security Corps. Since Japan is our imaginary enemy, a large number of Japanese instructors in the 28th Division is a big hidden danger. All the hidden dangers must be completely solved at once. Feng Yong said firmly.
Feng Delin pondered for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind.
"Father, I know that you have the status you have today, and the Japanese have helped you a lot, but did the Japanese help you for nothing? With the kindness of the Japanese to you back then, how many resources have the Japanese stolen in Mukden Province over the years? These resources are the treasures of our country, the property left by our ancestors. How comfortable would you be if you were stolen by the Japanese? There is also Port Arthur, which is our Chinese land, why did little Japan garrison troops there. Then look at the concessions along the coast. It's a country within a country. This is a violation of our national sovereignty. I, Feng Yong, am not a national hero, but I will do my best to gradually withdraw the privileges of the Western powers over the Northeast. ”
Feng Delin looked at the impassioned Feng Yong with burning eyes, and a pleased smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Good! Yong'er, I, Feng Delin, have considered myself a hero all my life, but I am a frog at the bottom of the well. Of course I know what you said, but I'm just a local force in the Republic of China. These grievances are always regarded as the affairs of the state. But listening to you today, I know that this is also the responsibility of every Chinese. Yong'er, I support your ideas, what do you want to do, fully support you for the Father! ”
Taking back the privileges of the great powers in the Northeast, thinking about it makes Feng Delin excited, as a native of the Northeast, it is not uncomfortable to see foreigners showing off their power in their hometown, it is fake. It's just that I haven't had the ability before, and I don't have the courage to be the first in the world, so I haven't seen it. But since his son was determined to do this, Feng Delin also felt a boiling feeling of blood in his bones. In the final analysis, he Feng Delin is also a bloody Chinese.
"Thank you, Father! I have faith in myself! Feng Yong said confidently.
Feng Delin nodded and said, "Yong'er, I don't care about the twenty-eighth division." I'm sure you'll do well. You're out of the way, too. I'm ready to retire in the future! ”
"Pension? Father, don't be kidding! You are now in the prime of life, and you still need to make decisions about the affairs of the Northeast. After all, you have been up and down in officialdom for many years, and many things are done by you, Feng Dashuai, but you are much better than me, Feng Shaoshuai! Feng Yong teased with a smile. Of course, he will not let Feng Delin retire. Feng Delin is the person he trusts the most, he has the ability and qualifications, and he is responsible for many things, so Feng Yong can calmly lay out the layout in the back.
