The people of the Northeast have been talking a lot because of the movements of the Northeast Security Army. The outside world is looking more at the Ganning area. After all, the annexation of the Ganning region by the Northeast is equivalent to the rule of the Xīn Jiāng region by the Northeast Shengsheng. Although the Northeast mouth keeps saying that the Northeast Governor's Office has always been under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China, fewer and fewer people believe this statement. The reason why public opinion in the Guannai has criticized the Northeast but has not attacked it in a big way is because the Northeast has always wandered in the bitter cold outside the Guan, and the people in the Guannai lack an accurate understanding of the specific strength of the Northeast. Even so, the Northeast occupies such a vast territory, and with hundreds of thousands of sharp troops, it is natural to be called the second largest force in China.

Most people don't know how big this step is in the Northeast, although the Ganning region is also a bitter cold place, but the only difference from the Northeast is that the population of the Ganning region is not barren, on the contrary, it is densely populated in the vast western region. Although zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ does not have accurate data on the population of the Ganning region, there are still 20 million. Even according to this most conservative estimate, the entire Northeast controls more than 40 million people. How many troops can such a terrifying population recruit? If the ratio of 1 out of 50 is followed, the Northeast can easily form an army of 800,000. Of course, this is the most ideal condition. Although Beiyang Zhèng Fǔ controlled the most densely populated Central Plains, the actual population under its control was only more than 200 million. The military zhèng fǔ and the southwestern army in the southern provinces were not controlled by zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ at all. Together, they have a population of nearly 200 million people. This is also the reason why the Northeast is known as the second largest force but is not regarded as a great danger by zhōng yāngzhèng fǔ.

Although the combat effectiveness of the army in this era is not all determined by numbers, in essence, the size of the population determines the war potential of a power. As long as there is not an irreparable gap in the level of weaponry between the warring parties, then the war potential of the more populous side between the two sides will be greater.

Although the Beiyang Army is still the largest military force in China, there are factional disputes within the military, and the zhèng fǔ side is tilted against each other. It has always been difficult to create a stable environment for the development of national strength, coupled with the fact that a military like Beiyang has seriously interfered in politics, and it is difficult to create a stable environment. Moreover, the lack of separation between military and government can easily lead to chaos in the ruling system. This is also the fact that although the Northeast is also a warlord, because it has always adhered to the separation of military and government, zhèng fǔ has the ability to truly govern. As a result, Northeast China has a political environment for peaceful development.

Regarding the Northeast Swallowing Ganning Region, neither the Presidential Office nor the Prime Minister's Office made any statements. Acquiesced in the northeast's rule over the Ganning region. Now the battle between the government and the court has basically come to an end, and unlike the original history, in this time and space, it was Li Yuanhong's fiasco, and now the power has basically been hollowed out by Duan Qirui's Prime Minister's Office. Although Li Yuanhong carried out a crazy counterattack, unfortunately, without the support of the military, Li Yuanhong's actions were doomed to failure. After failing to solicit foreign aid from the Northeast, Li Yuanhong could only accept the fate of defeat, and now Duan Qirui was proud and was in full swing discussing the issue of declaring war on Germany with Britain and France, of course, he would not have nothing to do. After all, only by maintaining a harmonious environment can Beiyang be qualified to declare war on behalf of the country.

In order to maintain their position, the family of the Far Eastern Governor's family took refuge in the Tsar's faction, which greatly increased the power of the ** ministers' camp, and they are still confronted by those Tsarist nobles, and they have not been eliminated as in the original time and space.

Although Governor Jeffrovsky retained his position, it also intensified the contradictions between the tsar's vassals and the nobles. Coupled with the fact that the tsar insisted on a world war, Moscow did not have much strength to support the Far Eastern Army to restore its strength. Even Moscow is not at all clear about the reality of the Far Eastern Army. However, because of the increase of troops in Korea himself, Moscow finally squeezed out a batch of weapons and ammunition to be transported to the Far East to strengthen the firepower of the Far East Army. For the time being, the troops cannot be withdrawn. Even those ** ministers, in order to increase the power of the Far Eastern governor, did not know how to obtain the Tsar's authorization to allow the Far Eastern Army to expand on its own.

This only left Governor Jeff in a difficult situation. He can recruit troops, but his every move is now under the surveillance of the big nobles in the country. Now the Jeff family has become a thorn in the side of the great aristocrats of Tsarist Russia. This made Governor Jeff a lot more careful. The idea of replacing all Chinese soldiers in the Far Eastern Army could not be realized for the time being. Governor Jeff's own affairs are not in trouble, so naturally he has no time to pay attention to the situation in the Northeast.

The Northeast annexed the Ganning region, and the biggest reaction was Xiao Rìben. It can be said that the three eastern provinces were originally the land that Rì himself must take, and Feng Yong snatched it from Rì's own mouth. Now the Northeast Security Army is even more aggressive in the Lushun area. If it weren't for the heavy artillery of the Navy, I'm afraid Port Arthur would have been attacked long ago. This puts a lot of pressure on the military. But now Okuma Shigenobu is getting the emperor's luck. Although the emperor occasionally makes some nervous movements, he also shows some ability to govern. It also reveals some of the potential power left behind by Emperor Meiji. This kind of power makes Shan County Youpeng extremely jealous. This is also the reason why he controls the power of the military and tolerates Shigenobu Okuma.

"Damn it, how can you let the Northeast occupy such a large piece of territory, this has increased the population by tens of millions all at once, are the heads of the Zhina zhèng fǔ all pigs? Tolerate the Northeast so big! "General Masaki Terauchi was in a very unhappy mood during this time. Although Marshal Yama had already sent two newly formed divisions to Korea to join the Korean army, the combat effectiveness of the Korean army was increased. But this is not at all comparable with the conditions that the marshal of the original county county agreed. No matter how powerful the Korean army is, the status of the governor of North Korea is only a big member, how can it be comparable to the status of the prime minister of the cabinet, who controls the whole country. It's just that now Okuma Shigenobu is getting the emperor's ** letter, and the marshal of the prefecture is suppressed. General Masashi in the temple can only endure it even if he is unwilling in his heart. After all, even a military veteran like Marshal Yama did not dare to touch the emperor's brow. Not to mention that he's just a general.

"Your Excellency, General, through my understanding of the Chinese people, the Chinese are a people who like to fight, and now although the Chinese seem to be unified, they are divided into different forces internally. There is a zhèng fǔ army, there is a local army. And the Northeast is one of the largest local armies. There was even a posture that threatened the zhèng fǔ army. Now the Zhèng Fǔ army in China was seeking to cooperate with the Empire in declaring war on Germany. Unable to take care of local forces such as the Northeast Security Army. Even compromises were made in order to gain its support. But this situation will definitely not last long, and when the Republic of China gains the support of the empire, sooner or later one day they will go to war against the Northeast Security Army, and at that time,. The empire would then appear as a savior, and would definitely be able to annex China at minimal cost. Kawashima said in a respectful voice.

Kawashima Sholang originally belonged to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but because of his excellent performance at the time of the signing of the "New Běi Jīng Treaty" last time, he was appreciated by Terauchi Masayi and transferred to the Korean army.

"Kawashima-kun! I trust your judgment, but the speed at which the security forces in the northeast of China are expanding is simply too fast. Especially their commander Feng Yong, although the general never believed that a seventeen-year-old hairy child could do anything, Feng Yong was definitely a demon. Such an enemy who does not play according to common sense is the most difficult to deal with. I am afraid that by the time the Zhina zhèng fǔ army wants to deal with the Northeast Security Army, it will find that it is no longer the opponent of the Northeast Security Army. General Masaki Terauchi said worriedly.

"Your Excellency, General, you are too worried! The Northeast is expanding too fast now, which will lead to unstable foundations. Even if there is a war between the Northeast Security Army and the Zhina Army in the future, no matter who is strong, both sides will definitely lose, and this is also a good opportunity for the empire to send troops, as for how can other local military forces in China be the opponent of the Great Rì Imperial Army. Kawashima said confidently.

"Roar! Kawashima-kun, your analysis is on point. Stay for a meal today! The general got some of the most authentic sake from the country, and I just invited Kawashima-kun to taste it. General Masaki said with a smile. Looks like he's in a good mood.

"It's an honor, Your Excellency!" Kawashima said excitedly.

Southwest, Chengdu.

"Overseer! The northeast occupies the Ganning region and has been handed over to our northern Sichuan region, should we send a large army to defend northern Sichuan? Tang Jiyao said. Although he is now the overseer of Yunnan, he has not yet completed the handover, so he is still under Cai Yi's command.

"No, you don't! Withdraw the current army in northern Sichuan and put it into the forefront of Hubei! Cai Yi thought about it and said.

"Overseer, isn't this too dangerous, the army in the northeast is too aggressive! And they also have that strength, if we withdraw the defense, we will let the Northeast drive straight in. Tang Jiyao said. He didn't want the southwest to become a second Ganning region.

"Don't worry! I have an agreement with Young Marshal Feng that the Northeast will not attack us. Cai Ye said confidently. Not many people knew the news of him and Feng Yong's worship. Of course, Cai Ye will not make a big deal of it. After all, the current Cai Yi is already very jealous of Beiyang, if Duan Qirui knows that he and Feng Yong are brothers, I am afraid that Duan Qirui will immediately send a large army to fight with the new army.

After all, the Northeast Security Army and the Northwest New Army already have the strength to subvert the Beiyang Army.
