The fighting in the western theater has basically ceased, and fierce battles are raging in the northern theater. The seemingly calm Jilin Provincial Government is located in Changchun City, but there is an undercurrent. The reason is the big railway plan thrown out by the provincial government.

"The provincial government plans to build a railway network with Changchun as the core in the next few years, and currently build two main lines, the first of the two main lines is from Siping, north through Changchun City to Harbin, and the other is from Jilin and North Korea border Yanbian County westward, through Jilin, Changchun, Songyuan, Baicheng, Xing'an League."

The two railway lines add up to more than 1,500 kilometers, which is definitely a big cake for the forces that can build railways.

As soon as the provincial government threw out this plan, all forces immediately took action. The most active of these were the Japanese and Russians. Then there are the British and the Americans. The Northeast is not a traditional power of Britain and the United States, so they just want to make a profit! Japan and Russia are different. The two railways can run through the whole province of Jilin, and even have a great impact on the surrounding Fengtian, Heilongjiang, and Mongolia. In particular, the longitudinal railway was even more important for the Japanese, and once the railway was built, the Japanese could follow it into the hinterland of Mongolia. It has a huge effect on their mainland policy. However, the Japanese government is also facing an extremely serious problem, that is, they are powerless, and the construction cost of the two railways is as high as 10 million silver dollars. It also requires a large amount of heavy equipment and labor, which is like a bait that Japan cannot swallow and give up, which is extremely financially strained.

The Russian government was also faced with this situation, but they had always maintained a great interest in the three eastern provinces, and they would not tolerate the Japanese entering the three eastern provinces, but now that Russia was in a big war in Europe, and the wars were frequently lost, Russia's finances were already extremely tight. Moreover, the Russian government was overwhelmed by the waves of revolution at home, and was equally powerless about the railway plans in the three eastern provinces.

But even though the two countries are tense at home, they don't show it at all. The envoys of the two countries ran to Changchun City as fast as they could. Then the Yankees and the British were not far behind. France and Germany also want a piece of the pie. This made the remote city of Changchun lively all of a sudden.

In the guest house of the provincial government, the envoys of several countries quarreled every day over the two railways. Among them, the Japanese envoy Yamayoguchisuke jumped up and down, and he was very busy. But the Jilin provincial government did not want to see them in the slightest.

Feng Yong is also very distressed now, although he thought that the provincial government's big railway plan would definitely be watched by the powers, but he didn't expect that the movement would be so big that even the Beiyang government was alarmed. Thinking of this, Feng Yong secretly scolded Little Japan for being shameless in his heart. I didn't have the ability to bid from the provincial government, so I turned my attention to the government of the Republic of China. And the news he got from Feng Delin made Feng Yong's face extremely gloomy. Little Japan even demanded the right to build railways under the pretext of supporting Yuan Shikai's Hongxian Empire.

Now that Yuan Shikai is the emperor, all parts of the country are opposing, which makes Yuan Shikai's situation extremely bad. At this time, the Japanese envoy approached Yuan Shikai and hoped to obtain the right to build a railway in Jilin Province on the grounds of supporting him as emperor. In Feng Yong's opinion, Yuan Shikai is very likely to agree. It was also at this time that Yuan Shikai discovered that the Northeast had changed, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy had established a huge force in less than a year. It seemed so incredible to him. Later, when he learned that Feng Yong was Feng Delin's son, Yuan Shikai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, it's too wicked and won't be liked. However, Yuan Shikai was interested in this restless little guy in the north. As for the bandit forces such as the Siberian Tiger and the Jianglong, Yuan Shikai didn't look at it at all. In his opinion, it was simply a rabble. He was interested in Feng Yong's ability to lead the troops, and in the six months since he led the troops, he had not tasted a single defeat, and he actually controlled the territory of a province in less than the year of the weak crown.

Yuan Shikai was called the emperor, and the northeast and northwest were more peaceful, the northeast was bitter cold, and the northwest was barren, which was not as rich as the hinterland of the Central Plains. However, the people of the two places are strong, and it is a good place to recruit soldiers. Since President Yuan Da was dissatisfied with the status quo and sat in this position, he expected the opposition of the whole country, but the opposition within the Beiyang Army was something he did not expect. His henchmen Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang jointly opposed him as emperor, which made Yuan Shikai's foundation in Beiyang become turbulent.

As a military strongman, Yuan Shikai certainly won't change his position easily. In internal turmoil, he looked outward. Originally, the great powers were a good choice, but unfortunately now the awakening of the Chinese people, the revival of national self-esteem, and the more and more attention to the actions of the great powers in China, especially Sun Yat-sen and his entourage are unwilling to lose their rights, and they are always looking for trouble with the government of the Republic of China. But unlike the Xinhai Revolution, Yuan Shikai had the full support of the Beiyang Army that time, and ascended to the throne of the first president of the Republic of China with strong force. But this time, the powerful Beiyang Army turned out to be separated from him. Plus the infiltration of the revolutionary party headed by Sun Yat-sen. The Beiyang Army is no longer monolithic. Moreover, with the dumping of internal power, the Beiyang Army was also divided into two major factions. Straight, Anhui. The Anhui family is headed by Duan Qirui, a giant of the Beiyang Army, and the direct line is headed by another Beiyang giant, Feng Guozhang. Both sides claim to be descendants of the Beiyang Army. At the same time, they all want to press each other. The reason why Feng Duan and the others rebelled against Yuan Shikai as emperor was not because they wanted to inherit the position of leader of the Beiyang Army after Yuan Shikai's death and become the next president of the Republic of China. If Yuan Shikai is the emperor, then there will be nothing to do with them. Of course, Feng Duan and the others would not agree. However, due to Yuan Shikai's huge prestige, he is still just talking, Duan Qirui called Yuan Shikai: "Restore the parliament and abdicate yourself." Feng Guozhang also telegraphed constantly.

How could Feng Duan's thoughts be hidden from Yuan Shikai. In fact, Yuan Shikai himself secretly regretted it in his heart. This time, Yuan Shikai, the emperor, was bewitched by the constitutional monarchists headed by Yang Du, and the eldest son Yuan Keding was infatuated with the position of the crown prince, and tried his best to deceive Yuan Shikai. Coupled with the temptation of the supreme throne, Yuan Shikai, who is proficient in the way of ninja, can't help but be hot-headed.

Now that he has ascended the throne, with Yuan Shikai's temperament, of course he will not give up easily. The proposal of the Japanese Yuan Shikai was also not favorable. He knows better than anyone the wolf ambitions of little Japan. Throughout Yuan Shikai's life, although he has been criticized a lot, it is not difficult to see that he is a nationalist. From serving as the governor of Korea to solving the Mongolian problem with clever means some time ago, Yuan Shikai has shown his fanaticism for the territory of the motherland. The Japanese envoy gave him a glimpse of the situation in the northeast. Although Japan is hegemonic, it does not dare to underestimate the power of the Republic of China. The hundreds of thousands of Beiyang elite troops of the Republic of China are definitely not vegetarians. Although the Republic of China was poor, it had a large population and a war potential that was even greater than that of Japan. Today's Japan is far from capable of fighting a national war with China. Therefore, in the bottom of his heart, Yuan Shikai is not afraid of Japan.

Compared with the conditions of the Japanese, Yuan Shikai was more interested in Feng Yong, the young marshal of the three eastern provinces. Because of his rash claim to the emperor, Yuan Shikai lacked a strong army around him to maintain his rule. Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui, the original left and right hands, also deviated from themselves because of the emperor incident. Although Yuan Shikai was heartbroken, he was helpless. After all, the behavior of Feng Duan and the others is also human nature. And Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin in the Northeast can only be regarded as marginal figures of the Beiyang Army, small forces that the bigwigs usually look down on. Feng and Zhang have a tense relationship, so naturally they will not unite to become Feng warlords.

In the end, the Japanese government did not get a satisfactory result, but Yuan Shikai officially announced his appointment, appointing Feng Yong as the superintendent of Jilin Province and acting in charge of Jilin Province's military affairs. This news shocked all forces in the entire three eastern provinces. You must know that Feng Yong's son Feng Delin and father-in-law Zhang Zuolin are only the leaders of Fengtian's side, and they have not even taken the position of Fengtian overseer, and Feng Yong, who is a younger generation, has become the Jilin overseer. It's simply unthinkable.

On the other hand, the Jilin provincial government was jubilant. The official appointment of the Jilin Overseer and the Republic of China government shows that Feng Yong's actions in Jilin Province have been recognized by the Republic of China government. But even Feng Yong himself couldn't figure out which hand Yuan Shikai was playing?

With Feng Yong's appointment as the overseer of Jilin, the provincial government officially began bidding for the Jilin Provincial Industrial Zone plan. Of course, because it had been planned for a long time, this bid was won by the Japanese. Although Britain and the United States are unwilling, they can't help it, and the big war in the West has made the hegemonic Britain feel a little overwhelmed. The Russians are naturally irritated, but who made him less cruel to himself than the Japanese! The Japanese were naturally ecstatic, but after the euphoria, they were again embarrassed by the conditions proposed by the Jilin provincial government.

"The Japanese government provides all the costs of building the railway, which will be returned from the proceeds of the 20 years after the completion of the railway. The Japanese government and the Jilin provincial government owned the railway at the same time, and twenty years later, the ownership of the railway was transferred to the provincial government. The Jilin Provincial Government set up a monitoring team to supervise the construction of railways by the Japanese government, ensure the quality of the railways, and provide labor for the construction of the railways. Labor is paid by the Japanese. The provincial government and the Japanese government signed a friendship trade agreement, allowing Japanese merchants to trade in Jilin Province, but not allowing Japanese people to mine minerals and buy land in Jilin Province. Japanese businessmen were not allowed to engage in trades that violated the regulations of the provincial government in Jilin, otherwise they would be expelled by force. ”

Japan originally demanded that Japanese businessmen do business in Jilin Province and obtain special privileges, but the provincial government strongly vetoed it. With the official status of overseer, the provincial government is like having the government of the Republic of China behind it, and it naturally becomes extremely tough. The Japanese used all kinds of means, but the provincial government remained unmoved. Feng Yong knew that the reason why the Japanese were willing to spend a lot of money to build this road was the ownership of the road for twenty years after it was built, so that the Japanese could thoroughly understand the strength of Feng Yong's ministry and facilitate the situation in the three eastern provinces. Even the Japanese Army could enter the Mongolian region as quickly as possible. Threatens the Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia's main east-west artery. In this way, Japan gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the Russians.
