"My lord, a telegram from the Governor-General's Office of Korea! It was personally sent by the Japanese Governor General in Korea, Senior General Masashi Terauchi. "The intelligence department of the provincial government sent the latest telegram received to the Governor of the Northeast, Feng Delin.

"It's coming!" Feng Delin sighed secretly in his heart, and said to the guards beside him: "Go and invite the deputy governor and Dean Li to come over!" ”

After a while, Feng Yong and Li Jun, who got the news, hurried over, Japan is definitely the most deterrent existence for the Northeast, like a fierce beast without reins, which may launch an attack on the three eastern provinces at any time.

"Father, what's wrong?" Feng Yong is studying the plan for the deployment and organization of the Northeast Public Security Army. I got a notice from Von Deli and immediately rushed here. Li Jun followed closely behind him, as if he had guessed something, and there was a solemnity on his face.

"See for yourself!" Feng Delin handed the telegram to Feng Yong with an ugly expression. Motioned for the two to sit down.

Feng Yong took the telegram, and when he saw the contents, his face gradually became gloomy, and after reading the telegram, he didn't say anything, and handed the telegram to Li Jun. I sat on the couch by myself.

"Young marshal, the reaction of the Japanese is much more fierce than we imagined!" Li Jun looked up and said. Feng Yong nodded and said, "It's not been a day or two that the Japanese have been eyeing the Northeast. Since the Russo-Japanese War, Japan has gained a large number of privileges in Tohoku, and Japanese companies and people have penetrated into all aspects of Mukden Province. However, this time the Japanese move is a bit strange, although we announced the ownership of the land to be nationalized, after all, we did not make it clear that we would attack Japanese-funded enterprises, even if the Japanese have opinions, it should be the Japanese cabinet that reacts! The Japanese governor took the lead in intervening, what is this called? Could it be that the governor of Korea is better than the Japanese government? ”

"Young Marshal, is there any agreement between the Japanese governor in Korea and the Manchu elders? This telegram is obviously an old man from the Manchu Dynasty! Li Jun guessed. After all, the Joseon governor explicitly demanded that the Mukden provincial government stop the plan to return the land to the government. Claiming that this is the greatest violation of human rights. Of course, this is just a high-sounding excuse, and in this period, human rights are spoken to powerful countries.

"It is very likely that in the Lushun Concession recently, the Japanese frequently visited the leader of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Prince Su Shanqi. I've been wondering what they're holding back these days! So it's going to make trouble for us in this place! Feng Yong thought of the information that had been transmitted by the assassination. Since the Feng family ruled the three eastern provinces, the Manchu remnants were uneasy, and the Japanese took advantage of this opportunity to become extremely active. Among the prestige families of the Manchu Qing relics, Japanese envoys basically came to the door secretly. Although the power of the dark thorn is not as elite as Japan's special high-tech, it still discovers a lot of unknown secrets by virtue of its geographical advantage.

"Yong'er, it can be seen from this telegram that the North Korean Governor's Office has reached some big agreement with these Manchu remnants, otherwise the North Korean Governor's Office would not dare to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries so blatantly."

Feng Yong and Li Jun nodded, agreeing with Feng Delin's opinion.

Feng Yong suddenly thought of Manchukuo, the tool for Japan to control Northeast China. Could it be that the Japanese are now starting to integrate the power of the Manchu remnants. It is no wonder that after the September 18 Incident, Japan was able to organize the framework of the Manchurian government so quickly. Feelings are ready for a long time.

"Father, didn't you say that the Japanese government once sent you a special envoy before the war? What is the situation? Feng Yong thought of what Feng Delin said about the Japanese envoy last time. It's just that he didn't take that thing to heart.

"Yes, the Japanese envoy once came to me in a private capacity and asked what kind of policy would be pursued if I ruled the three eastern provinces. How to treat Japan as a country. However, according to my information, the Japanese envoy seemed to have gone to see Zhang Zuolin at that time, and I thought that Japan was swinging between me and Zhang Zuolin, so I didn't take it seriously. Feng Delin thought for a while and said.

"Then since the establishment of our Northeast Governor's Palace, hasn't your Japanese friend appeared again?"

"Nope. My Japanese friend had been transferred back to Japan before the Mukden War. I've tried to contact him, but so far to no avail. Feng Delin was also worried about ruling the three eastern provinces, and he contacted Japanese friends to find out the Japanese government's attitude towards the Feng family's rule of the three eastern provinces.

"That is to say, the Japanese government has not expressed its position on the situation in the northeast at present, and this telegram is just something brewed by the Korean Governor's Office itself, so you don't have to care!" Feng Yong said strongly.

"Yong'er, you can't be careless! The Japanese 1st Division was stationed on the border between Korea and Mukden. If you offend the Korean Governor's Office, you will likely be retaliated against by the Korean Japanese army! "Feng Delin was always worried about the Japanese 1st Division pressing on the border. Political threats are not always as direct as military threats.

"Father, it seems that your intelligence skills are really outdated! Japan does not have a 1st Division in Korea at all! The 1st Division, also known as the Tokyo Division, was tasked with garrisoning Tokyo, the capital of Japan. How can it be casually transferred to the junction of North Korea and our China. According to my information, the Japanese stationed three divisions in Korea: the 3rd Division, the 7th Division, and the 10th Division. The total strength is less than 60,000. Moreover, it is necessary to defend the entire northern border of Korea, especially the place where it meets North Korea and Russia, so the Japanese army on our Chinese defense line has at most one division of troops. That's only about 20,000 people. Even if the Japanese soldiers are three-headed and six-armed, I don't believe that our ten times the strength of the army will not be able to defeat this mere 20,000 people. Feng Yong said arrogantly.

"Young marshal, you can't say that. We are not afraid of him in the Korean Governor's Office alone, after all, the focus of their garrison is not our northeast, but the place where they will be handed over to the Russians. There are very few troops that can be drawn up to fight us. But we should be concerned about the attitude of the Japanese government. If the Japanese agree to the proposal of the Korean Governor-General's Office to transfer troops from within the country, with Japan's transportation capacity, they will be able to transport more than five divisions to the land of Northeast China within a week. This is a modern elite army of more than 100,000, plus the North Korean garrison, we are immediately at an absolute disadvantage. So young marshal, it is too dangerous for us to go to war at this time. Li Jun shook his head against Feng Yong's idea of being strong. With great difficulty, the northeast was reunified, and the public order of Jilin and Heilongjiang was stable and developed rapidly. If war breaks out at this time, it is very likely that the troops formed by the short-term expansion of the Public Security Corps will not be the opponent of the Japanese. Besides, the battle of Mukden has just been experienced, and the logistics reserves of the Northeast Security Army have also been consumed a lot. Even if the Woniushan Arsenal is fully producing, it will not be able to produce weapons and baggage that can meet the needs of the Great Battle in a short period of time.

Feng Yong thought about it and agreed with Li Jun's concerns.

"Father, this matter needs you to intervene! Contact the Japanese who fought against Russia with you back then, and try your best to find out the Japanese government's attitude towards our Northeast China. We have to find out whether this telegram is meant by the Japanese government or by the Korean governor-general. Although Feng Yong does not know the state of affairs in Japan. Changing the government in a small country is as casual as changing clothes, plus Feng Yong's later generations don't like Japan as a country, except for the stupid Prime Minister who visited the Yasukuni Shrine because he is too famous to know it, Feng Yong's only interest in Japan is Japan's popular "action movie" that has swept the world. Coming to this time and space, although Feng Yong began to relate to the domestic form of Japan, he did not specify every decree of the Japanese government. However, Feng Yong knew that Japan's military department was different from any other country, and although the Japanese military department was nominally subordinate to the cabinet ministers, in fact the Japanese military department claimed to be a system, and those veterans who created the army had incomparable prestige on both the military and the government. Therefore, the attitude of the Japanese government does not necessarily represent the future direction of this book. After all, if those military bigwigs don't nod, the emperor won't unify the cabinet's decrees.

"That's fine. I'll get in touch with those old friends as soon as I can. But Yong'er, how we treat Japan specifically, you have to have a clear charter. ”

"Father, I don't think Japan will watch the Northeast get out of their control. There are only two attitudes towards us, the first is political inducement, and in the name of supporting our independence, we can achieve the goal of occupying the three eastern provinces. The other is to eliminate them by force and then prop up a more obedient puppet government. The former will become puppets without autonomy, and the latter will be completely eliminated. We can't choose this path, we can only choose the third one, and we can't compromise against them. Although the probability of winning in an all-out war with Japan is pitiful, don't forget that there is a polar bear eyeing the northeast, which is an opponent that the Japanese should pay attention to. ”

"Young marshal, do you want to contact the Russians and then use the power of the Russians against the Japanese?"

"Lao Maozi is strong on the outside, but after all, it is a super empire, and the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. The Japanese are not a good thing, and the Russians are not a thing. However, we are still very weak now, and there is no hope of victory against one side alone, so we can only implement the strategy of driving the tiger and devouring the wolf. Feng Yong said with a smile.

"But we don't have anyone to speak to the Russians? Now I rushed to the door, but it was easy to be caught by Lao Maozi. I know that Lao Maozi is greedy, and he can't do things without a huge back. Feng Delin shook his head and said. He felt a little ridiculous, he was from an anti-Russian background who helped Japan, and he didn't expect that he would now have to cooperate with the Russians against Japan. Who can say for sure what is going on in this world!

"Don't worry, I've got the right person! Besides, the current Russian Far Eastern Army is only an empty shell! If it weren't for the Japanese to drag my feet, I would have wanted to go north and snatch back the territory that Russia had invaded and occupied in China! Feng Yong said very casually.

Feng Delin and Li Jun looked at each other, and they really couldn't understand what Feng Yong's little head was thinking. A behemoth like Russia is like a big cake in Feng Yong's mouth, and he can eat it whenever he wants.

"Young marshal, I'm afraid the Russians can't achieve it in a short time! But what should we do with this telegram in front of us? Whether it is to find out the movements of the Japanese government or the solidarity of the Russians, it will take time, and the Japanese governor of Korea is still waiting for our reply! Do you want to put our plans to a halt for a while? Li Jun still believes that now is not the time for conflict with Japan.

"No need! Plans to go ahead as usual! As for the telegram of the Japanese governor of Korea. Who birds him. Our Northeast Governor's Office is the establishment of the Republic of China, why should he, a Japanese governor-general, order us. If we halt our planned actions because of a telegram like this, which is not even an official letter, what difference will we have from the rotten Manchu government? Brother Chuanxin, don't worry about this, worry about that. From the time we chose this road to the rise of the Northeast, we were already destined to go to war with the Japanese. It's just a matter of time. Since there is going to be a war, what difference does it make if it is a little earlier and a little later. I do not deny the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, but do not underestimate the combat effectiveness of our Northeast Security Army. The fighting strength of the army is fought by the bloody battles of the soldiers, not by blowing. More than a decade has passed since the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese veterans who participated in the war have long since retired. Now, in addition to inheriting the honor of veterans, the Japanese army still has a good record. Their combat experience is not even as rich as that of our Northeast Security Army. If we really fight, we may not be at a disadvantage. Feng Yong was not afraid of the Japanese army at all. There is even a kind of eagerness to try in the bottom of my heart. After all, if you create your own security corps, it is very likely that you will go to war with Little Japan. Now the Public Security Corps has grown into the Northeast Public Security Army, which controls the territory of the three provinces and has a population of tens of millions. Except for the equipment of the troops, it is not necessarily worse than the Japanese army in other aspects.

Feng Yong made up his mind to ignore it, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him. The Mukden Provincial Government did not publish the slightest news about the telegram of the Korean governor, as if a mud cow had entered the sea. And the work of the provincial government continues.

"Today is June 6th! Why is there no news from Beijing yet, could it be that President Yuan's life has been extended because of my butterfly effect? Feng Yong muttered to himself. Although he is extremely strong in front of people, this strength is based on the imminent death of Yuan Shikai. When Yuan Shikai dies, Li Yuanhong will become the rightful president of the Republic of China. When Li Yuanhong comes to power, the Beiyang government will definitely show a certain degree of strength in order to show the authority of the government of the Republic of China. At this time, whoever provokes China, the Li Yuanhong government will not show weakness, at least it will not show weakness openly. After all, a government that cannot protect national sovereignty cannot be supported by the people. In addition, Li Yuanhong has no military power in his hands, and his foundation is unstable. If you want to fight Duan Qirui, who holds a lot of power, you must win the support of the Chinese people. If Japan launches an attack on the Northeast, it is very likely that the Republic of China government will also send troops to protect it, not to protect the territory of the Northeast, but to protect the face of the government.
