After the news of the Northeast Army's total annihilation of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army came, in addition to the Chinese people still showing excitement, other forces were shocked by a series of brilliant victories of the Northeast Army. What caught the attention of the Chinese people was that the Nanjing Beiyang government actually took the initiative to send a delegation to Beijing and declared in a high-profile manner that it would negotiate with the Beijing government to seek coexistence.

Beiyang's action is undoubtedly a show of weakness and a kind of softness. On the same day that Beiyang sent a telegram, the Guangxi and Guangxi forces also issued a telegram and sent a delegation to Beijing to discuss the major issue of China's development. This series of actions made the gringos hairy. What's going on? Could it be that China has really completed reunification so bloodlessly?

No, absolutely not, a complete and strong China is not in the interests of Western countries at all. But at present, the only ones who can put pressure on China are Japan and Russia. Japan, which was originally in the limelight in the world, behaved in a mess on the battlefield. Russia has also been defeated again and again on the Western battlefield, and the prestige of the great powers has almost been lost. The countries of the West are even more powerless to pay attention to the Far East.

Under these circumstances, the old imperialist countries, such as Britain and France, set their sights on the United States, a country based on the principle of freedom and neutrality. The United States, the little capitalist brother, has made a fortune since the war in the West. In particular, the development of the US domestic military industrial complex has allowed the US economy to develop in a geometric multiple. Of course, it is impossible for the United States to send troops, the United States is not a fool, and there is no indispensable interest in sending troops to China. Besides, since the Civil War, the US Army has not had any outstanding achievements, and it is far from being as beautiful as the Japanese Army, and Japan is not good, and the US Army is even more sufficient. But the United States has money! Britain and France hoped to encourage the Americans to pay for the Japanese war effort. The purpose of Britain and France was not to assist Japan in the destruction of China, and it was more in their interests in the Far East for Japan to be the only one that was dominant. They want the two sides to continue fighting, and it is best if their war can be fought until the end of the war in the West, when Britain, France and other Western countries that have come out of the war can calmly clean up the mess in the Far East.

As a result, the ambassadors of Britain, France, and other countries began to frequently meet with members of the US Congress and visit the US president, hoping to move the US government. The world has become more unpredictable because of the war between Tohoku and Japan.

Changchun Marshal's Mansion.

Feng Yong and the merry general Cai Ye sat opposite each other.

"Second brother, I need a word from you now." Feng Yong opened his mouth and said.

Cai Yi frowned, didn't speak, just kept drinking tea.

"Second brother, you and I are sworn brothers, I'll tell you what you have. At present, in the whole world, we are the dominant one in the Northeast. The reunification of the whole country can be completed at any time, this is the general trend, even if you are a merry general, you can't stop it. More than half of your four southwestern provinces are now surrounded by us. My army is not the Beiyang Army, and our government in the Northeast is not the rotten Beiyang government. If we are determined to unify the whole country, no force can stop the pace of our army. Feng Yong said confidently. It is not for nothing that the brilliant results will be publicized throughout the country. The great victory of the Northeast Army deepened the invincible image of the Beijing government among the people, and when the people were inspired in their hearts, they slowly recognized the orthodox status of the Beijing government. This kind of life is undoubtedly a heavenly life for the current Chinese people, and the result of this propaganda is that the people's hearts are gradually returning to the northeast.

"Young Marshal, can the Northeast lead China to independence and prosperity?" Cai Yi raised his head and looked at Feng Yongdao with burning eyes.

"Yes!" Feng Yong said firmly.

"Where does your self-confidence come from?" Cai Ye asked loudly.

"Because I'm Feng Yong, that's my reason!" Feng Yong is still confident. Yes, he came from later generations, even if he didn't learn something specifically, but what he saw was not comparable to the most advanced things of this era. As a commander, as a leader, as long as Feng Yong points out the right path, everything does not need him to worry about, but the reborn Feng Yong can make extremely correct decisions. This is unmatched by any leader in this world.

"I don't know where your confidence comes from, what will you do if you unify the country?" Cai Yi looked at Feng Yong with burning eyes. If Feng Yong didn't answer well, he wouldn't rest assured that he would hand over the territory of the four southwestern provinces to Feng Yong. In Cai's mind, the southwest may be the last place of the revolution.

"Recuperate! China's national strength has already weakened to the extreme, and it is imperative to eradicate maladministration as soon as possible. Feng Yong thought for a while and said.

"This is not unusual, as is the case with any newly formed government, but I would like to ask you what kind of system is the government you are going to set up in the future?" Cai Ye asked with some urgency. With his concentration, he was a little nervous.

"Second brother, do you want to ask me if I want to be the emperor in the future?" Feng Yong smiled and said.

"Not bad!" Seeing that Feng Yong said it, Cai Ye naturally didn't hide it.

"The emperor is just a name, I'm not interested. I'm not Yuan Shikai, and I don't have that much obsession with the position of the Ninety-Five. As for the system, I haven't thought about it yet. Now that the Beijing government has been established, although it has nominally inherited the system of the Beiyang government, the internal system has been very different. The eldest brother and the third brother are deeply influenced by the German political system, and I think our future government will definitely have a strong German flavor. But I won't be the emperor. China also does not need an emperor. Feng Yong said with a smile. After experiencing the decadent rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Chinese people already hated the emperor, and regarded the emperor as the root cause of China's decadence and backwardness. Feng Yong knew this clearly, and he didn't have the slightest interest in the position of that lonely person.

"Really?" Cai Yi asked in a deep voice.

"Of course, I promise, I will never be an emperor in this life! I, Feng Yong, speak with all my words, you can rest assured of this. ”

"Good! I believe you! However, the four southwestern provinces have become self-contained, and it is not easy to annex them. Although I am the governor of the Southwest, there are many things that my will cannot influence the decisions of the Southwest. Cai Ye said with some embarrassment. Although he is the nominal boss of the four southwestern provinces, he is not Feng Yong, and there is a difference of 108,000 li between his political ability and military ability, so in addition to his good control of the new army in the southwest, his control over the local area is very low.

"Don't worry about this, it seems that you have already done the thinking of Tang Jiyao, the deputy governor of the southwest. With your two giants in the southwest, it is not too difficult to take over the southwest. Feng Yong was in a good mood. The land of the four provinces was obtained without bloodshed, which was a huge victory for the entire Northeast.

"Young marshal, the brothers of the new army will be taken care of by you in the future." Cai Ye said with a smile. He didn't know if he had made the right decision. However, judging from the current performance of the Northeast, except for some reckless militarism, it is still much clearer than any other force in the country. Although the southwest was single-handedly beaten by him. But he himself is not very well-versed in politics, and it has only taken less than a year for the entire southwest to become full of internal factions. After all, each province has its own spokesperson and represents its own interests. Coordinating the interests of all parties every day makes Cai Ye almost have a headache. He still wants to be a general who can kill the enemy on the battlefield, protect his family and defend the country, and shroud his body in horse leather.

"Second brother, you are too polite. Now here you are. Our four brothers worked hand in hand to create a prosperous China. Feng Yong said happily. The result of Feng Yong's happiness was that he drank heavily that night. General Cai's slightly ruddy face, which had been recuperated, turned pale again. It's really bitter for General Cai Yi. In the southwest, he doesn't drink a single bite. No one dared to pour his wine shamelessly. But Feng Yong, who is not good at drinking, will not be polite to Second Brother Cai.

The agreement reached verbally by Feng Yong and Cai Ye will naturally not be leaked to the outside world, otherwise the whole of China will explode, not to mention that now the Northeast is entangled by the Japanese, and it is unable to deal with the chaos at home.

The next day, two telegrams were placed on Feng Yong's desk. Unlike Cai Yi, Feng Yong's internal breath has become small, and the system is already special, even if he drinks too much on the first day, there is nothing to sleep in. Therefore, the next day, when Cai Yi was still asleep, Feng Yong was already in the war room to handle official business.

"Second brother, you can take a look at these two telegrams. It seems that you came to the Northeast not only to bring us four provinces, but also the whole country to be stirred by you. Feng Yong looked at Cai Yi, who was pale and a little vain, and said with a smile.

"The telegram of Beiyang and Liangguang?" Cai Yi looked a little strange.

"Do they know what we're talking about?" It's no wonder that Cai Ye thinks so, after all, these two power-ups came too quickly.

"Second brother. If they had known that we had annexed the four southwestern provinces in the northeast, we would not have seen a nationwide telegram that they had sent to negotiate, but an army that would have been dispatched at all costs. And the target is definitely your southwest. Feng Yong said with a smile. Cai is a bit slow to respond to political matters, which is why the southwest government is not under his control. For a person like Cai Yi, as a military commander, he can definitely be famous for a hundred years, but as the leader of a party's forces, he is not qualified. After all, his personality is too square and he lacks awareness of political darkness. There are no eternal friends in politics, only eternal interests.

"So they don't know about our situation, and they are afraid of our alliance just because I led the army to the northeast?" After all, after being the governor of the southwest for so long, his vision is not completely absent.

"Yes, they must have felt the pressure from your actions, if your four southwestern provinces and northeast become allies, Beiyang will really be enemies on all sides. After all, before, there was the Northeast that stood out, and the Southwest was a potential ally of the North Ocean. Feng Yong said with a smile. Feng Yong knew that after this negotiation, the Beijing government would probably be able to determine their legitimacy. Beiyang, which gave up its orthodox status, could conclude an offensive and defensive alliance with the southwest and Guangxi on an equal footing. Fight together against the Northeast. If the southwest is not annexed by the northeast, their plan is very likely to succeed, after all, everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth. Now that the ideology of the governors of the southwest has moved closer to the northeast, although it is troublesome to annex the four southwestern provinces, it is not difficult. Beiyang and Liangguang are destined to suffer a big loss because they do not understand the situation.
