The three commanders of the Northeast Army had a drink together, and during this period, they talked about the strange situation faced by the Northeast Military Region, and naturally there was a lot of speculation.

"Lao Liu, you are opponents, you should be relatively well-informed, is there something wrong with the Russian Far East Army? Otherwise, with so many troops lost one after the other, the Russian Far Eastern Governor's Office could not have been so indifferent. Lin Hu asked with a frown.

"This is really not clear, we have very little information about the inside of Tsarist Russia, and the young marshal ordered us not to cross the Heilongjiang River to plunder in Russia. However, it is necessary to resolutely strike at the small Russian forces that enter our territory. I once called the young marshal, and the young marshal only said that it was a strategic requirement, and now it is not suitable for mistakes. Liu Hei took a sip of wine and said. Those of them in the Northeast have a very good amount of alcohol, after all, the weather in the Northeast is cold, and drinking some wine can keep warm. Naturally exercise a good amount of alcohol.

"The 60,000 troops of our Northwest Military Region are stationed in the Mongolian steppe, and the Russian ** team on the opposite side has only one brigade, and it is not stationed on the border at all, but along the Trans-Siberian Railway, and I don't know why the young marshal set the headquarters of our military region in the Mongolian steppe, if it is purely to protect the steppe, it is more than enough to dispatch a brigade. There is no need for both divisions to be pressed anywhere, the pressure on logistics alone is very great. I think the young marshal must have a deep intention in doing this. Cao Zheng said.

"What do you mean?" Lin Hu asked.

"From Lao Liu's Northeast Military Region, to the Northwest Military Region where we are stationed at the Mongolian frontier, and then to the Western Military Region where Xinjiang is stationed, what do you see here? This is a long dragon, a long dragon against Tsarist Russia. The form is now more obvious, and the young marshal may have great intentions against Tsarist Russia, and once he does it, he will definitely shock the world. Cao Zheng said in a deep voice. These words are absolutely confidential, and even if they are speculated by a few of them, spreading them will cause extremely terrifying consequences.

"You mean the young marshal is going to use troops against Russia?" Lin Hu said in a deep voice. As the commander of the Japanese army in the southeast, his mind was on defending against the Japanese, and he rarely cared about the situation in Tsarist Russia in the north.

"That's for sure, our young marshal has an unusually great attachment to the land, which can be seen from the war against Japan. Compared with Japan, Russia has usurped more land from our China, stretching millions of square kilometers from the northeast to the northwest. Therefore, in my judgment, the young marshal will be certain in the future to use troops against Tsarist Russia. And I feel that the young marshal doesn't seem to be satisfied if he wants to return to the lost ground. Cao Zheng said in a low voice.

"Impossible! Except for our land in the north, the rest of the country is a cold and frozen wasteland, what is the use? The young marshal will not exchange our forces for these lands! Liu Hei said with a frown.

"Who can understand the young marshal's thoughts, just like the war against Japan, the strength of the young marshal is beyond everyone's expectations." Lin Hu said with a smile.

"Yes, but it's exciting to be able to grab so much land." Liu Hei said fearing that the world would not be chaotic.

Lin Hu and Cao Zheng looked at each other and smiled bitterly. In this war against Japan, the Third Division of the Northeast Military Region fought extremely frantically, especially in the last time when it pursued the Japanese army, the Third Division, which had started late, actually ran into the heads of all the troops. If it is really as they guessed, the Northeast Army will start a war against Russia, then Liu Hei will definitely be the commander of the Eastern Route Army, and no one can imagine how much turmoil he will cause in the land of Tsarist Russia. Among the major generals of the Northeast Army, Liu Hei is the most murderous. If it weren't for Liu Shan, who was relatively old-fashioned by his side, as his political commissar, I am afraid that the entire northeast front would have become a river of blood.

Cai set off after obtaining an armistice agreement between China and Japan. It's so fast that even Lin Hu and they are exempt from practicing it. The reason why Cai Yi acted in such a hurry was because of the internal instability in the southwest, and Tang Jiyao's telegram to him was more urgent, hoping that he could return to the southwest as soon as possible.

Regarding the dispatch of the First Division of the Southwest New Army to the northeast, there were great internal differences in the southwest, and many senior generals of the New Army were very resistant to Cai Yi's decision. Although Cai Yi's Southwest New Army was created in his hands, the foundation was his old subordinates in the Protectorate War. Cai Ye has been trapped in Beijing for several years, and his old subordinates have also experienced the ups and downs of officialdom, and they have long lost the enthusiasm of the past, and the relationship between these people and the local forces in the four southwestern provinces has also become complicated because of these years. Cai Ye became the leader of the new army in the southwest precisely because Cai Yi's actions were in line with the interests of the southwest interest groups at that time. Coupled with his unparalleled military talents, there will be the more united southwest now. But now, the situation in the southwest has changed, and Cai has greatly dissatisfied the southwest interest groups in his treatment of the northeast. After all, these interest groups are all big landlords and big family forces, and their relationships among the people are complicated, and their interests all come from exploiting the people. The policies of the Northeast government have touched the nerve of their interests. Naturally, they resisted greatly. In Cai's absence, the government led by Tang Jiyao took on tremendous pressure. What made Tang Jiyao feel even more unbelievable was that the Southwest New Army they had created single-handedly showed signs of instability. This situation made Tang Jiyao a little flustered. As soon as he received the news of the peace talks between the northeast and Japan, he sent an urgent telegram asking Cai Ye to return to the southwest to preside over the overall situation.

Feng Yong was also extremely concerned about the situation in the southwest, so at the beginning of the peace talks, he had already asked Cai Yi's new army to prepare secretly, and after the peace talks were established, he immediately set off and turned back to the southwest. Of course, during this time, Feng Yong removed 100 elite political workers from the teaching corps into the First Division of the Southwest to assist Cai Ye in controlling the troops. Feng Yong didn't believe that the First Division didn't have the eyeliner of those big families. If it is not good for Cai Yi, it will be very troublesome. Feng Yong had to guard against it. The darkness of the big family is simply what humans can imagine. Those dead soldiers cultivated by the big family are all crazy people who have been completely brainwashed, and no one can say what they will do, and Feng Yong has to guard against this.

Feng Yong didn't agree with Cai Yi's way of leading troops as an ancient famous general. Judging from the turmoil that is gradually emerging in the southwest now, if Feng Yong does not take measures, there is really a possibility of big chaos in the southwest. Feng Yongke knew very well that the power of the landlord class was strong, especially the four southwestern provinces were extremely concentrated in the traditional forces, and the four southwestern provinces were deep inland and less influenced by advanced Western ideas, which made the conservative forces very popular with the people. In order to prevent major changes in the southwest, Feng Yong could only start early.

Cai led the new army to Changchun, and then went to the Marshal's Mansion under the protection of an SS unit. The Southwest New Army did not get off, and after Cai Ye and Feng Yong met, they also set off overnight to rush back to the southwest.

The young marshal's house.

"Second brother, it seems that you can't see my child born. It's hard for you and my brothers to get together this time! Feng Yong said with emotion. This time, Cai's action was vigorous. But the sworn brothers didn't have time to get together. Jiang Baili was still in Fengtian City to deal with the deployment of troops after the war, and Li Jun was in Beijing to deal with the affairs after the peace talks. It's all full of heavy responsibilities, and there is no time to come back.

"Young marshal, there will be opportunities in the future, judging from Old Tang's telegram, I'm afraid the situation in the southwest is very tense, right?" Cai Yi's brows couldn't help frowning. When he was still in the southwest, the entire southwest new army system was still very normal, and both the army and the government showed great stability. In particular, the turmoil of the New Army made it even more difficult for him to believe.

"Yes, several major families in the southwest have united, and Tang Jiyao's government is also full of opposition, your southwest new army is expanding too fast, the internal personnel are complicated, no one dares to make trouble when you are here, as soon as you leave, especially if you leave with the most elite first division, the entire southwest will be restless. Some people disregard the interests of the country and the nation for the sake of the interests of the so-called family. Feng Yong sighed and said. A short-sighted sigh for these so-called big families in the southwest. The establishment of the southwest government is thanks to the support of these big families, especially in the last protracted war between the southwest and the north of the sea, these big families have contributed a lot. It was also at that time that the Southwest family extended its tentacles into the Southwest government. Because of the common interests at the time, this move can be said to be your willingness. But it also had a serious consequence. Power is no longer centralized. The first thing that the big family has to consider is the interests of the family, while the government is to consider the way out of the entire four southwestern provinces. In this regard, the two sides finally diverged. The opinions of Cai Ye and others are not recognized by these big families, and they are certainly unwilling to make wedding dresses for others. It's just that Cai Yi's reputation in the southwest is too strong, and with Cai Yi sitting in the southwest for a day, it will be difficult for them to do anything. Now Cai Ye is far away from the southwest, and he has taken away the most elite first division of the Southwest New Army. This makes those big families think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. I want to find a new agent from the government, replace Cai Yi and others, and set up a new government to serve the major families. Under the trend of this idea, a trace of turmoil began to appear in the southwest, and there was a tendency to expand.

"It's these people, damn it, it's in vain that I used them as partners I could trust." Cai Yi's face was not very good. At that time, he was fighting on the front, and the finances of the southwest government were on the verge of collapse, and these families intervened at the same time, injecting a lot of money into the government and stabilizing the southwest's economy that was about to collapse. It can be said that the foundation was laid for the southwest's victory over the Beiyang. It is precisely because of this time that Cai Yi's good impression of these big families has increased greatly, and he also turns a blind eye to some opinions of these families, after all, he has a short hand. The government in the southwest still owes several large families a large war loan.
