Peace talks between the two sides have reached an impasse because of the toughness in the northeast. Especially after the Northeast put on a military deterrent, Ni Sichong was a little anxious, and Beiyang really couldn't afford to fight. After the fight, the entire Beiyang Anhui system will be completely finished. The fate of these people will also fade out of the stage of history with the demise of the Anhui power.

After urgent consultation with Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui finally agreed to the conditions of the Northeast. At the same time, Duan Qirui demanded that the Northeast Army stop all military operations and that it could only take over the defense of Shandong after the Beiyang Army withdrew. Jiang Baili agreed to this request after considering it. At the same time, the conditions were put forward that Beiyang could only withdraw the soldiers, not the common people, and the withdrawal time must be completed within half a month! If the time passes, the Northeast Security Army will carry out an armed expulsion.

Duan Qirui did not refuse these harsh conditions in the Northeast, after all, the huge Shandong Province lost to others, and it was not interesting to worry about these details.

Eventually, the two sides signed an armistice under the city of Licheng. Duan Qirui and Jiang Baili finally met each other, but the momentum of the two sides was completely different. Duan Qirui's hair on his head is half gray, his whole temperament is a little decadent, his face is a little sallow, and he seems to be in a very bad state. On the other hand, Jiang Baili is dressed in military uniform and full of spirit.

"Chief Duan, we're meeting again!" Jiang Baili said with a smile.

"Mr. Jiang, you still have the same style!" Duan Qirui didn't seem to want to talk to Jiang Baili deeply. Thinking about it, it can be understood that Duan Qirui is an arrogant person, and now the form can be said to be the Northeast using force to fight for life, which makes it difficult for Chief Duan to bear.

Jiang Baili smiled and did not continue to speak, and the grievances of the year may have been dispersed with a smile. As a commander, Jiang Baili still has such a mind and bearing. From the moment Duan Qirui agreed to the peace talks, he had already won.

As the curtain comes down on this peace talks on relations between the Northeast and the Beiyang, it is natural that the two sides will hold a ceremony to prove everything. Jiang Baili and Duan Qirui, who are the leaders of the negotiations between the two sides, are of course going to show up.

Duan Qirui took the contract handed over by Ni Sichong and signed his name. Then he got up and went into the city. For Duan Qirui's rude behavior, Jiang Baili did not feel the slightest embarrassment. Duan Qirui still couldn't let go of his high shelf. But this is also understandable, after all, he has been in that kind of high position for many years, and he has long been accustomed to nature, so it is naturally quite uncomfortable for him to fall down in disgrace.

"Brother Baili, now you can let the Northeast Army withdraw, right?" Ni Sichong said with some embarrassment.

"Of course, now we are also preparing to take over the whole of Shandong Province. The security in Shandong is not good, I'm afraid we will be busier than now! Jiang Baili said with a narrow smile.

Ni Sichong's face showed an increasingly embarrassed look, during the period of Beiyang's governance of Shandong, the public security situation in Shandong was indeed very poor, and bandits were rampant, but there were definitely a lot of bandits. In many places, local security groups and bandits wear the same pants to make money. Of course, this mess needs to be slowly sorted out in the Northeast.

Northeast Marshal's Mansion.

"Young Marshal, Deputy Commander Jiang is in a hurry. Our army has signed an armistice agreement with the Beiyang Army, and within half a month, all the Beiyang Army in Shandong will be withdrawn, and then the entire Shandong Province will be ours! Xu Zheng said excitedly.

"Great! With Shandong Province, the entire Bohai Bay is shrouded in the influence of our northeast. Feng Yong also said with some excitement.

"Young marshal, but the Southeast Military Region has reported that the Japanese have made greater moves. It may not be easy for Shandong to recover. Xu Zheng said.

"It's okay! Little Japan is sure to do it, but with the character of Little Japan, it is unlikely that they will do it from Shandong, their target is Changchun, it is this young marshal! Only by killing this young marshal will most of the Republic of China be subdued by their obscenity. Feng Yong said with a smile. There was not the slightest fear of a possible attack by the Japanese. From the moment Japan crossed the border to massacre Chinese villagers, the contest between the Northeast and Japan had already begun.

"The Japanese army in Qingdao has been strengthened, and the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet is even more in the Qingdao area, and its purpose is obviously to deter us! The army that occupied Shandong. Xu Zheng said.

"I know this very well, General Baili has already formulated a complete strategy. It's time for our follow-up troops to act! It is easy to occupy Shandong, but it is not easy to govern Shandong well! Especially under the eyes of the small Japanese naval and land forces. Feng Yong sighed and said.

"Young marshal, if the Japanese take advantage of the civil strife in Shandong to expand their territory on a large scale, do we really want to meet the Japanese?" Xu Zheng asked. He knew that Feng Yong had an unusual fanaticism for the land, and anything could happen to Feng Yong for the ownership of the land.

"I'm afraid not this time, Shandong can occupy the territory, but the attitude towards the Japanese will be more tactful. After all, now behind us is the central government in Beijing, and our actions represent the orthodoxy of the Republic of China. Although Qingdao was forcibly snatched from Germany by the Japanese, it was recognized by the whole world. In this case, we cannot attack by force. What's more, even if it is defeated, it can't be held, and the Japanese Navy's giant artillery can easily cover the entire Qingdao area. In this case, the Qingdao issue can only be put aside for a while. When the conflict between us and Little Japan comes to an end. Feng Yong's face was not good-looking. If it is on land, with the strength and combat effectiveness of the Northeast Army, Feng Yong is not afraid at all, but at sea, the navy of the Republic of China is scum! At present, the navy in the northeast still has only a few backward small gunboats produced by the Republic of China itself, and even if Feng Yong wants to develop the navy, he does not have that time.

"Xu Zheng, I'm going to send you to Shandong."

"Me?" Xu Zheng was stunned!

"Yes, that's you! You know very well the form of the Northeast, and I can't guarantee when we will go to war with Little Japan, once the war starts, all the elite troops in Shandong will definitely be put into the front-line battlefield, and even the whole of Shandong may become a battlefield. In this case, Shandong must have someone to sit in charge, so that Shandong can become our stable rear base when we go to war with Japan. Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

"Can I?" Xu Zheng is very unconfident, since the moment he joined the Northeast, he has always existed as an operational staff officer. There is no real experience in leading troops to war.

"You have to believe in yourself, no one knows the background of our Northeast Army generals better than you, many of them are from peasant backgrounds, and some people even can't read a single word, but they can still lead the troops to win battles, you are a military student studying abroad, you should be more capable than them, this short time you served as my operational staff officer, the work was handled very well, and it also let me see your ability. In this case, you just let go of the boldness and do it. If something goes wrong, I'll take it for you! Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

You don't need to check Feng Yong with intelligence to know that the form of Shandong must be very complicated. Shandong, as the gateway to China, has been intertwined with various forces, especially after Japan snatched Qingdao from Germany, the number of Japanese in Shandong has surged, and they are arrogant and domineering, becoming a cancer affecting public security.

Xu Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed the tension in his heart, to be honest, although he assisted Feng Yong in controlling more than a dozen provinces in the Northeast, he really didn't have the confidence to let him govern a province alone. In addition, this matter came very suddenly, as if it was Feng Yong's sudden decision, which made Xu Zheng a little unable to turn around for a while.

"Your actions are different from others! I am going to appoint you as the commander of the Shandong Military Region and form the Shandong Public Security Army, the purpose of which is to maintain law and order in Shandong Province and at the same time serve as a reserve force of the Great Army. "The construction of the military service system in the northeast is very good in the three eastern provinces. However, in order not to affect the development speed of the Northeast, Feng Yong has not recruited too many troops in the Northeast. It can be said that one-third of the active military personnel in the Northeast are recruited from other provinces. This ensures that the people in the northeast still have sufficient labor, and it also indicates that the people in the three eastern provinces still have sufficient soldiers. After all, the conditions in the Northeast are the best in the Republic of China at present, and although the wave of immigration in the Central Plains and other places has weakened, it is still considerable.

Shandong has a larger population, and if it is well governed, it will definitely be able to pull up an army of millions in a short period of time. Moreover, Shandong Dahan is enthusiastic and bold, obedient and very high-quality soldiers. The first purpose of the formation of the Shandong Public Security Army is to ensure the stability of Shandong Province, and the second is to deeply tap the potential of Shandong Province's military resources and provide a greater impetus for the development of the Northeast Army. The situation in Shandong is different from that in the northeast, where Shandong has just been defeated, the people's will is undecided, and the possibility of recruiting soldiers on their own is very low.

"Young Marshal, I need your full authorization!" Xu Zheng took a deep breath and said. He was ready to try it, after all, every man has a dream of being a general.

"No problem, I trust you by handing over this task, and now you know the situation, the construction of the Shandong Public Security Army is not easy, and the relationship in Shandong is complicated. You don't have a lot of resources at your disposal. This time, you took my guard regiment to Shandong, and used the guard regiment as the foundation of the Shandong security army. As for the specific soldiers, you can recruit some from the Beiyang Army captured by Deputy Commander Chiang, and the rest can only be recruited by yourself. As for what means you use, I ask you to pull up a quality force for me in the shortest possible time! Feng Yong said in a deep voice.

The Northeast swallowed Shandong, not to let the burden of Shandong drag down the Northeast. Especially when the Northeast is about to face a storm. Now the resources of the entire Northeast system are concentrated, Feng Yong knows that little Japan is not easy to deal with, although their troops in Korea are only more than 100,000 people, but with Japan's complete military service system and strong shipping capabilities, Japan's own hundreds of thousands of elite troops can be transported to the Northeast at the fastest speed. Even the government in Beijing will be the focus of the enemy's strikes. In this case. The Northeast could not afford to divide troops to run Shandong. can only choose to release generals to operate independently. Of course, Feng Yong will not give up the political commissar system, which is an important guarantee for the Northeast to be integrated.

"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Xu Zheng said resolutely.
