Song Qingling adjusted his thinking and said, "I went to the Northeast together by helping the eldest lady of the Kitazawa family, Kitazawa Xiangling, escape from Tokyo. Because the Kitazawa family is kind to our alliance, the vice president of the alliance asks us to help Kitazawa Xiangling and his party escape from the pursuit of the Japanese government at any cost. We sailed from Tokyo to Tohoku on an American merchant ship. And the first stop is Yingkou, the largest port controlled by the Northeast. The prosperity of Yingkou was beyond my expectations, with factories everywhere and warehouses all over the streets. The piles of goods, the busy merchant ships, and the busy pedestrians once made me think that I was still in a Japanese port. Moreover, these are all prosperous achievements, all of which are the achievements of the Northeast government in operating Yingkou for more than half a year. I confirmed this news from the mouth of Kitazawa Xiangling, and it should be reliable. ”

"Yingkou should also have a certain foundation. And it took more than half a year to build a modern port, although it is difficult, but it is not difficult to achieve. Huang Xing nodded and said. Although he is not very proficient in government affairs, he still knows some news about Yingkou, the current largest port in Northeast China. Yingkou has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes in half a year, it can be said that there are already the basic conditions of a modern port, of course, now Yingkou Port is in its infancy in terms of facilities and heritage. Moreover, most of the ports in the Northeast are American merchant ships. Much of the profits from free trade have been shared by the United States. This is also something that cannot be helped, the Northeast offended the Japanese Navy, and even the merchant ships with China were inspected by the Japanese army near Port Arthur, and free trade was seriously affected. Although the freight of American merchant ships is not cheap, the freight at the point of delivery is always better than that of the entire ship detained by Japanese warships, and with the increase of American merchant shipping companies, the freight level has also begun to decline, which has further promoted the prosperity of the Northeast maritime trade.

"Take the train from Yingkou to Mukden, and now the railways in the entire northeast have been completely confiscated by the Northeast Governor's Palace. Japanese companies are still negotiating with the Tohoku Governor-General's Office over the matter. The Northeast Security Army confronted the Japanese army on the border between China and North Korea. But these are all rumors, and I can't judge accurately. In addition, Mukden City has not changed much. But I saw Russian prisoners of war at work in Mukden! ”

"Russian prisoners of war?" Chiang Kai-shek, who was dressed in military and political affairs and sat upright, was stunned. You know, at this time. Lao Maozi is a world power, and although their domestic system is rotten, the status of Russians in foreign countries is still relatively high. The Northeast once fought with the Russians, and it was not uncommon to have Russian prisoners of war in their hands, but it was a little unusual for Song Qingling to be seen by a passerby. Is the Northeast really not afraid that the Russians will fight back frantically for the sake of face.

"We have also received information about this. However, the exact number of Russian prisoners of war is uncertain. Mukden City should have only a small part. And it didn't appear for long. Sun Wen said in a deep voice. The Northeast is too tough, with the posture of Lao Tzu being the best in the world. As everyone knows, rigidity is easy to break, a country, a force, cannot be too weak, nor can it always be tough. This kind of toughness in the Northeast is what Sun Wen least appreciates. Because the Northeast does not have the strength to fight the Quartet, excessive toughness will only provoke more powerful enemies, and if there is a war of aggression against China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, it will be a catastrophe for the entire Chinese nation.

"All the way north, all we saw was the ongoing construction in various places, including roads, railways, and bridges. And it's huge. ”

"Industrial infrastructure has the largest investment and the slowest return. The Northeast will build these on a large scale at any cost. It seems that Feng Yong really wants to build the three eastern provinces into a place of foundation. Liao Zhongkai sighed.

"The Land of Roots? What Mr. Liao said is a bit too much, after all, the Northeast is a bitter cold land, and it is not rich in land or population. And there are long periods of the year when there are harsh winters. How can it be a place of foundation? Jiang Zhongzheng asked with a frown.

"Zhongzheng, although the Northeast is bitterly cold, the people are fierce, which can be seen from a series of glorious achievements of the Northeast Security Army. As for whether the Northeast can become a place of foundation, there is no need to discuss this point at all, the Northeast is the land of Longxing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It was the foundation of the rise of Manchuria. A backward nation like the Manchu Qing Dynasty can rely on it to build a huge country, why can't Feng Yong? Liao Zhongkai said with a smile. He was a man of letters, and he didn't know much about the military, but he did have a lot of research on the government. The shining point of the Northeast is not only the great victories won by the army, but also the government of the Northeast is very good. The young man who is known as the twin heroes of the Northeast with Feng Shaoshuai has shown a very outstanding talent in government work.

Jiang Zhongzheng paused for a moment, a shy smile appeared on his face, the current Jiang Zhongzheng is still young, far from the means of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain in later generations. Even he himself was a passionate young man for the revolution. Of course, it's just that there is some erosion in private life.

Huang Xing nodded at Song Qingling and motioned for her to continue.

"As the capital of Northeast China, Changchun is far from the size of Fengtian City, but Changchun has a business district that is developing very fast. A variety of foreign goods can be purchased. This is very rare in an inland city. Song Qingling stopped at this point. The next thing was the accident, and she didn't want to talk about it. Although she knew that it was an accident caused by a misunderstanding, and Feng Yong's identity was extraordinary, Song Qingling didn't want to pursue it, and she couldn't investigate it. The reason why she left without fully understanding the situation in the Northeast was because she didn't want to stay in this sad place for a long time.

"Second Miss, I wonder if you have seen Feng Yong in the Northeast? The Kuomintang intelligence officer once said that he saw the second lady in and out of the young marshal's mansion! Hu Hanmin, who had been silent, spoke. As soon as he spoke, everyone, including Sun Wen, frowned. Song Qingling went in and out of the Young Marshal's Mansion? None of them had heard of it. Hu Hanmin was in charge of the Kuomintang's intelligence forces. He didn't report it, and Sun Wen didn't know it very well.

Song Qingling's face became a little pale. However, Song Qingling was not an ordinary woman after all, she took a deep breath and said, "Not bad! Because of Kitazawa Xiangling's relationship, I once met Feng Yong. ”

A gleam flashed in the eyes of the Kuomintang bigwigs, although their intelligence officers worked very hard to dig up the news of the Northeast and the news of the Northeast Young Marshal, but the precautions of the Young Marshal's Mansion were too strict. A lot of the intelligence information about Feng Yong came from rumors, which made the Kuomintang bigwigs feel mysterious about the young leader in the Northeast. And now I heard that Song Qingling had seen Feng Yong with her own eyes, and even had contact, which made everyone a little excited. Only Sun Wen quietly frowned when he saw Song Qingling's uncomfortable look. It's just that this is not the right time to ask about other things.

"How is Feng Yong?" Huang Xing couldn't help but ask.

Song Qingling said with a complicated expression: "Feng Yong feels very strange, he is obviously childish, but he is very sophisticated in speaking and doing things. It seems to be a stable young man in his twenties who has experienced a lot of things. Like Mr. Jiang. It's just that there is no such heavy military habit as Mr. Chiang! ”

Everyone frowned, such comments could not allow them to make an accurate judgment of Feng Yong's character, after all, it was impossible to rule the behemoth of the Northeast smoothly without certain means. Youth, old age, is certain.

"Nothing else?" Jiang Zhongzheng asked with some excitement, seemingly happy that Song Qingling said that Feng Yong's temperament was similar to his. After all, Jiang Zhongzheng is still just a small person, how can he compare with the young marshal of the Northeast who is in full swing.

Song Qingling shook her head, she didn't want to talk about Feng Yong in her heart.

"Qingling? Can you see Feng Yong's political attitude? "The actions after the rise of the Northeast felt very strange to Sun Wen and others. It is even diametrically opposed to the rule of ordinary warlords, who are tough and straightforward on the outside and indecisive on the inside. This is from the fact that they annexed the Ganning region, nearly 100,000 troops, and launched only a handful of major battles. On the contrary, it is more about taking advantage of the situation to oppress. With a huge oppressive force, the goal of surrendering the army without a fight.

Song Qingling thought for a while and said, "Feng Yong is lazy! The government of Northeast China has only set the general direction of development, and the specific operation and implementation are all done by Li Jun, the premier. Even the nominal governor of the Northeast, Feng Delin, only assisted Li Jun in government affairs. ”

"Lazy?" Sun Wen and Huang Xing looked at each other, they really didn't expect Song Qingling to have such an evaluation of Feng Yong.

"Are you saying that the government affairs in the Northeast are basically from Li Jun's hands?" Liao Zhongkai said. Song Qingling nodded.

"Prime Minister, is the Northeast divided into two factions like the Beiyang government, one headed by Feng Yong and one headed by Li Jun, the premier?" Liao Zhongkai said. A gleam flashed in Sun Wen's eyes, but he quickly shook his head.

"We have also investigated Li Jun's situation, although he has intervened in both the military and the government, but all his rights come from Feng Yong's support. If he confronts Feng Yong, the result will definitely be won by Feng Yong without hesitation. Although Sun Wen has never met Feng Yong, his instincts for many years of ups and downs tell him that Feng Yong is not a soft-hearted person, and judging from his control over the Northeast Security Army, he is a very powerful person.

"Not bad! Even if Feng Yong trusts Li Jun again, it is impossible to completely delegate power. After all, Li Jun is an outsider, and in the warlord's army, it is impossible for his subordinates to form their own group to fight against the leader. The factional strife of the Beiyang Army did not break out after the death of its leader, Yuan Shikai. Although the warlord is a backward military organization, it can also exert strong combat effectiveness in some aspects.

Song Qingling thought for a while and said, "Feng Yong's temperament is very special! ”
