"Big brother, you are officially welcome to join the Northeast Security Army!" Feng Yong said excitedly to Jiang Baili. With Jiang Baili's assistance, Feng Yong believed that his Northeast Security Army would definitely develop at a faster pace.

"Yes! Big brother, come and help me! During this time, zhèng fǔ's work was busy to death! Li Jun also interjected.

Jiang Baili said to Li Jun with a wry smile: "I am a soldier, and I don't understand politics!" ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! How can a military talent like the eldest brother go to work! Big brother, now that there is no war in the Northeast, there is an extremely urgent thing that we need to do, and that is the development of military schools. Although we have established the Jilin Army Command College, but there is no qualified military talent as the principal, although the school has recruited a lot of foreign ** officers to teach, but the military school lacks its own jīng god, I know that the eldest brother once served as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, and even almost gave his life for this. However, for the development of our Northeast China, we must have a qualified military academy to provide a steady stream of military personnel for the Northeast Security Army. So, big brother, I would like to ask you to temporarily serve as the dean of the Jilin Army Command College. Preparations are being made for the establishment of the Northeast Special Sè Excellent Non-commissioned Officer College. Feng Yong said earnestly. Jiang Baili taught the Baoding Military Academy, but provided hundreds of generals for the Republic of China, although most of these people showed their reputation in the warlord melee, but being able to make a name for themselves in the troubled times also proved that they have a certain ability, which also proves that Jiang Baili is very qualified to teach the Baoding Military Academy.

"Jilin Army Command College? You asked me to be the head of a military school? Jiang Baili said in surprise.

"It's just temporary! As the deputy commander of the Dongbei Security Army, the eldest brother will definitely not be able to teach among the students for a long time. However, the establishment of qualified military academies is a problem that we urgently need to solve now, and if there is no qualified military academy to provide a steady stream of middle and lower-level commanders, our Northeast Public Security Army will be like a rootless and waterless source. And neither the third brother nor I have experience in this area, so it will be troublesome for the eldest brother in this regard! ”

"Let me be the principal of the military academy, that's fine, but I need your full authority and your full support in policy. I want to build an army academy that is truly famous in the world. Jiang Baili said with burning eyes. It seems that the failure of the Baoding Military Academy made Jiang Baili very unconvinced, why China could not build a world-class military academy.

"No problem! I'll leave the affairs of the military school to you completely! We also don't interfere with specific school charters and curricula. However, at the present stage, the focus of the military academy is to transfer the military chiefs of the Northeast Public Security Army to study in batches. Improve their cultural level and combat literacy. Only when the officers in the army have good military qualities can the Northeast Security Army be improved in essence. Feng Yong said briskly.

"Big brother, let's prepare too! We will depart north for Changchūn in the next few days. "Fengtian has calmed down, and it's time for Feng Yong's leadership team to move back to Changchūn City.

"Young marshal, the work of zhèng fǔ is basically arranged! It's just that the candidate for the governor of Fengtian Province has not yet been determined, and I recommend Wang Sa to be the first governor of Fengtian Province. Wang Sazi Liyong, one of the first students to come to Jilin, has been serving as the Minister of Finance of Jilin Province, and this time accompanied Li Jun to the south to assist Li Jun in handling the government affairs of Fengtian Province, showing good control methods. Moreover, Wang Sa is a well-known person, experienced in handling affairs, familiar with the policies of Jilin Province, and able to satisfactorily implement the orders of the Chang Chūn headquarters.

"Wang Liyong? Yes, it is indeed a good candidate for him to be the governor of Fengtian. Now that it's finalized, hurry up, you can hand over the work as soon as possible, and then let's leave for the north. ”

"What about the Sixth Division? Are they going to sit in Mukden Province? Li Jun asked, the Fourth Brigade is about to set off for the west and return to the defense area of the Southwest Military Region, and in the entire hinterland of Fengtian Province, there is only the main force of the Southern Military Region, the Sixth Division, which was expanded from the Sixth Brigade.

"In Fengtian City, the Sixth Division will leave a regiment of troops to garrison the Beida Battalion, which is enough to ensure the internal stability of Fengtian Province. The defense area of the Southern Military Region will cover the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and the garrison of the Sixth Division will also move south to Yingkou as soon as possible. I am going to try to form a navy in the northeast with the Southern Military District as the mainstay. ”

"Navy? Young Marshal, although we have money now, it's too early to set up a navy! After all, the Republic of China would not agree to a local army having a navy. Li Jun said in surprise. Moreover, the relationship between the Northeast and Rì himself is tense, and now the Shuanganti has not yet started negotiations in Běi Jīng, if the Northeast establishes a navy, it will immediately touch the nerves of Rì himself, and I am afraid that even the Republic of China will be even more jealous of the Northeast.

"What about the jealousy of the little rì, is it because we are afraid of the jealousy of the little rìben that we will never develop the navy? Now the world has become a world of the navy, and without the navy you can only be bullied! Feng Yong has already made up his mind that the Northeast must have its own navy, even if it is just an inland river fleet.

"Good! Young marshal, I support you! A man should have courage, the Republic of China is a scattered sand, and the navy of the Republic of China is even smaller and pitiful, and it is still an old thing left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which is simply an ornament, and the size of the navy of the entire Republic of China is comparable to that of an inland fleet. Such a fleet simply cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of coastal defense. Jiang Baili said approvingly. Every hot-blooded son and daughter of China should have a naval dream. The powerful Beiyang Fleet at that time allowed the Chinese to regain a trace of the status of a great power, but unfortunately, the prestige of the Beiyang Army was like a soap breaking, shattering at the touch of a touch, but it became a stepping stone for the rise of the little rìben.

"I know that the Navy is not something that can be built in a day or two. But if we don't make up our minds to do it, the Northeast will never have its own navy. We do not yet have the capability to build a strong navy, but we must have a navy of a certain size to maintain the authority of the northeastern zhèng fǔ on the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula. At the same time, it can also train qualified military personnel. Laying the groundwork for a more powerful navy in the future. "Since the capture of Mukden Province, the Northeast Security Army finally has its own access to the sea. At that time, Feng Yong was brewing in his heart to build a navy to protect the coastal defense of the Liaodong Peninsula.

"Chief of Staff, do you remember Zhang Chaoqun?" Feng Yong suddenly said to Li Jun.

"Zhang Chaoqun? The Navy student we recruited last year? Li Jun thought for a while and said.

"Yes, it's him, he wanted to join the Navy of the Republic of China back then, but unfortunately the internal relations of the Navy of the Republic of China are complicated, even if he is a talent who stays abroad, it doesn't matter, he can't get in, so he came to the 28th Division in the Northeast to try his luck, and was packed and sent to Jilin by his father. When I knew he was a naval talent, it was ridiculous. Even if we can develop from Jilin, Jilin is only an inland province, although there are large rivers, the perennial freezing of the river also makes inland waterway shipping underdeveloped, and even the value of developing inland river fleets is not there. Out of respect for these professionals, I personally approached him and persuaded him to leave or join another department. After all, he has stayed in the West, has received advanced ideological education from the West, and is better at doing other jobs than people who have never been in contact with him. I still remember what he said at the time. 'Marshal, China needs a strong navy to protect its defense. However, the navy of the Republic of China only continued the system of the Manchu navy, and it was still the old foundation of the remnants of the Beiyang Fleet, and such a fleet was too backward when it was an inland fleet, let alone guarding China's long coastline. Young Marshal, I, Zhang Chaoqun, am willing to dedicate my life to the cause of China's maritime industry. He did not hesitate to study abroad, but now he has no way to serve the country. The young marshal is very human, Chaoqun is willing to follow the young marshal, if the young marshal has the opportunity to build the navy in the future, Chaoqun asks the young marshal to let me continue to be a navy. Later, Zhang Chaoqun was assigned to work in zhèng fǔ, and now I have sent a telegram to Chang Chūn to transfer him to the Southern Military Region to form the first navy in the Northeast! Feng Yong's determination has been decided, Li Jun will no longer insist, in his vision, how can he not see that the establishment of the navy is beneficial to the long-term development of the Northeast, but unfortunately the foundation of the Northeast is too thin, not to mention foreign countries, and even far inferior to the technical level of the Guannai, especially in the Jiangnan region, as well as the shipbuilding industry base left over from the Westernization Movement, the current Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau still have a certain shipbuilding capacity. There is only one place in the vast northeast that has a dock that can repair large ships, and other ports only have the ability to repair small ships. And that place is Port Arthur occupied by Rì himself. At that time, when the Northeast Security Army and the Rì Army were facing off in Korea, Feng Yong's original plan was to take the opportunity to attack Port Arthur and destroy the largest port base of the Rì Army in Northeast China after dealing with the Rì-funded mining enterprises in the hinterland of Mukden Province. But with the war between the Northeast and the Rìben, Feng Yong also had to stop his original plan. Wait for the outcome of the negotiation with peace of mind.

"Young Marshal, do you have any plans for the Navy? Without warships, how do you let Zhang Chaoqun, who is bare-handed, build a navy? ”

"It's not difficult to buy ships, and now the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau have built about 500-ton gunboats that have not been sold, and I am ready to buy a few through the relationship of the Maosfield Chamber of Commerce. The framework of the Northeast Navy was established, and then the Běi Jīng negotiations were concluded, and the development of the Northeast Navy was specifically studied. After all, the navy is the most important military branch of a country in the future, and Feng Yong has to pay great attention to it. In the original time and space, although New China also attached importance to the construction of coastal defense, it did not build a world-class navy when Feng Yong finally crossed over. This is also where Feng Yong regrets very much in his heart.

"This is very safe, I believe that the Northeast just gets a few gunboats of hundreds of tons will not attract the attention of all parties. However, the training of the Navy should not be sloppy, and I suggest that naval specialties be introduced in military academies immediately, after all, the Navy is a branch of the armed forces with more technical requirements than the Army. Jiang Baili proposed.

"This is really important, once the navy is established, with the current situation on the Liaodong Peninsula, they will face a harsher environment than the army, we must prepare in advance and prepare reserve soldiers for the navy." Feng Yong felt that his head was big, the navy and the army were completely two systems, but except for a limited number of people who studied the navy in the entire Northeast Security Army, the others basically knew nothing about coastal defense, so how could such a person succeed in running the navy. But based on the understanding of later generations, Feng Yong knew that the world power must be a naval power. Only a naval power can maintain a world-class influence.

Běi Jīng, Resident of the Northeast Delegation.

"Governor, I have just received information that Rì himself arrived at the western suburbs of Běi Jīng station this afternoon. The Jǐng Cha troops of Zhèng Fǔ have placed the entire station under martial law. It's unclear who exactly came. The person in charge of the assassination běi jīng said respectfully to Feng Delin. Feng Delin looked at the ordinary-looking young man in front of him, and had to sigh that his son had a long-term vision, when he was still fighting for the control of Fengtian Province and his sworn brother Zhang Zuolin, Feng Yong had already looked at the whole country, and the assassination agencies could not be said to be all over the country, but they had also set up investigation agencies in major cities across the country. The current assassination is no longer the temporary intelligence agency with only twenty people that was established at the beginning a year ago, and now the assassination is all over the country, and the specific number of people As long as Jing Zhizhi, the person in charge of the assassination, even Feng Yong only knows a general number.

"A note has already been sent that negotiations with Rì himself will take place tomorrow morning. Lu Zhengxiang, foreign minister of the State Council, also sent a telegram asking whether tomorrow's negotiations will require the right of negotiation on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China. The person in charge of the assassination běi jīng handed over several subsequent telegrams to Feng Delin.

"Call them back, the Northeast delegation will definitely arrive on time for tomorrow's negotiations, and as for the 'kindness' of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, the Northeast will receive it! We have our own negotiators, so we don't need to be fake. Feng Delin said calmly.

The person in charge of the assassination nodded. Because of the assassination and the early intervention of the Maosfield Chamber of Commerce, the Northeast delegation will not be smeared by the first arrival in Běi Jīng. It was also at this time that Feng Delin learned that the news of the discord between the president and the prime minister of Běi Jīng was no longer a secret. There have been several dirty confrontations between the presidential palace and the State Department. At present, the two sides still maintain an evenly matched attitude, but the negotiations are more beneficial to General Chief Duan. After all, if the negotiations fail, the presidential office will be primarily responsible. From these news, Feng Delin also basically judged the political trends of zhèng fǔ and the State Council.

However, no matter what the plan is, it is absolutely impossible for the Northeast to come up with benefits to appease Rì himself. Although according to his qualifications, Feng Delin is not even a newcomer in the Beiyang Army, and can only be a remote small force, but he can't bear the son of a bull fork, and in less than a year, Feng Delin's subordinates have changed from tens of thousands of local troops to 200,000 jīng sharp troops that can be resisted by himself. With these more than 200,000 jīng rui as the backing, the Beiyang military boss is also worried in his heart, and he doesn't dare to do anything with him Feng Delin. Even the powerful Chief Duan has to be polite to Feng Delin. After all, local powerful factions are also able to influence the zhōng yāng pattern.
