Beijing, Young Marshal's Mansion.

Feng Yong's face was not very good-looking, although he had already expected that Japan would occupy Sakhalin Island at this time, but it really happened, and Feng Yong's heart was still panicked.

"Major Marshal, Britain, France, and the United States have not expressed any opinion on the Japanese occupation of Sakhalin, and according to the intelligence of the Strategic Intelligence Service, it is expected that the British Navy will appear in Vladivostok tonight and tomorrow. The handsome commander, Lieutenant General Jonathan, has already issued a statement openly supporting the Tsarist Russian government forces in the Far East and demanding that we, the Chinese Defense Forces, stop the fighting against the Russian army. At the same time, the United Nations Army, led by the British, regarded Xu Zhiliang's Chinese Self-Improvement Army as a tsarist Russian rebel and threatened to destroy them as soon as they landed. Now there is a lot of pressure on the Chinese self-improvement army, and Xu Zhiliang's telegram for help has already been sent, asking the young marshal for instructions. Li Yang sent the latest information from the General Staff to Feng Yong's desk.

"What did the Chief of Staff say?" Feng Yong asked.

"The chief of staff believes that almost everyone knows about China's support for the Chinese Self-Improvement Army, and Britain and France have even put on a posture of eliminating the Chinese Self-Improvement Army. The plan we wanted to hide behind the scenes had completely failed. Now it is better to stand up openly and incorporate the Chinese government in the Far East. It is also conducive to China's large-scale involvement in this matter. Li Yang said.

"What is the situation in Russia?" Feng Yong was noncommittal, but narrowing his eyes showed that he was thinking carefully about the feasibility of the matter.

"Now the situation in the Russian army is very bad. Marshal of the Russian government army, Viktor, organized several major battles, all of which ended in failure. And after the death of the tsar, the form on the battlefield of Europe has changed radically. The Soviet Red Army became more and more courageous, and the Russian government soldiers were panicked and had no fighting spirit. According to this form of development, the probability of Soviet success is really high. Li Yang carefully reported the news he received to Feng Yong.

"Haven't the West sent troops from Britain and France yet?"

"Not yet, the members of the Tsarist Russian royal family in Russia oppose the direct dispatch of troops by Western countries to Russia, and several powerful princes of Russia do not approve of direct Western troops, and the two sides are still holding urgent consultations. This is probably one of the important reasons why Britain is eager to meddle in the Far East. ”

"The stubbornness of the members of the Tsarist royal family will only hasten the demise of Tsarist Russia. It's okay, now that we've torn our faces, there's no need for us to hide it. The Shenyang Military Region was ordered to send troops to Vladivostok according to the original plan to ensure the safety of Xu Zhiliang's Chinese self-strengthening government before the British and French troops landed. At the same time, send a telegram to Liu Hei, ask them to speed up their actions, cooperate with Xu Zhiliang's people, and wipe out all the Russian troops entrenched in the Twin Cities. Feng Yong said decisively. At present, the combat mission of the Wehrmacht is intense, and Sakhalin Island cannot be taken care of for the time being. In addition, Feng Yong may not have the heart to use Sakhalin Island to drag down Japan. The current Wehrmacht is desperately trying to swallow the cake, and Sakhalin is very different in value compared to the vast Siberia. What's more, in the grand strategy formulated by Feng Yong, China and Japan will have an existential war in the future. And with China's growing war potential and Feng Yong's foresight, victory is almost predictable as long as there is no civil strife in China. And those territories occupied by Japan will return to China sooner or later.

With Feng Yong's instructions, Xu Zhiliang telegraphed the world and announced in a high-profile manner that the Chinese local government had officially joined the Republic of China.

Jiang Baili issued an order for the reorganization on behalf of the Chinese National Defense Force, and the Chinese Self-Improvement Army was reorganized into the 99th Army of the Chinese National Defense Force, with Xu Zhiliang as the commander and Liu Xiang as the deputy commander and chief of staff. At the same time, the Northeast Military Region of the National Defense Forces also sent Liu Gensheng, deputy political commissar of the Military Region, to concurrently serve as political commissar of the 99 th Army.

At the same time, the Chinese Government also announced the establishment of Ussuri River Province, with Vladivostok as the capital of the province, with Xu Zhiliang concurrently serving as governor of Ussuri River, and Sakhalin Island being part of Ussuri River Province, which is China's inseparable territory. The north of the Heilongjiang River, including the Trans-Khingan Mountains and the entire East Siberian Plateau, was established as Donghai Province, with its headquarters in Donghai City (formerly Blagoveshchensk City, Tsarist Russia), and the governor of Donghai Province was temporarily concurrently served by Liu Hei, commander of the Northeast Army. Beihai Province was established with the entire Central Siberian region, including Lake Baikal, and the provincial capital was established in Beihai City (formerly Irkutsk, Tsarist Russia), and Cao Zheng, commander of the Mongolian Military District, temporarily acted as the governor of Beihai Province. Such an arrogant move by the Chinese government has aroused great dissatisfaction among Britain, France, and the United States. The ambassadors of the three countries immediately approached the State Department to protest against the Chinese government's hegemonic aggression.

In the face of the aggressive attitude of the ambassadors of the three countries, Zhang Zuolin, president of the State Council, was forced to be anxious and broke out in a gangsteric manner. He smashed a book of Chinese history in front of the ministers of the Three Kingdoms. "See for yourselves!" roared loudly. The places we occupy were once Chinese territory, but in recent times they have been occupied by Russia. Now our actions are just taken back! As he spoke, he didn't care about the unusually ugly faces of the ambassadors of the three countries, and walked away with his subordinates, completely drying the ambassadors of the three countries.

Regarding Zhang Zuolin's actions, Feng Yong only smiled slightly after knowing about it. Unlike many of the generals in the Wehrmacht, he tried their best to disguise their bandit status, treating it as a stain on their personal face, and trying to avoid mentioning it. Zhang Zuolin is different, he is very good at taking advantage of the fact that he was born as a bandit, dressing himself up as a rude and reckless man, after serving as the premier of the State Council, for the sake of the country's face, he has become a lot more civilized, and he has the bearing of a big country politician, but because he is polite, he thinks he is easy to bully, which is a big mistake. This is not Zhang Dashuai's madness, and the ambassadors of the three countries are completely dumbfounded.

China's presence of a stunned military commander is enough to give the ambassadors of Western countries a headache, and now there is a reckless prime minister. The political system of the Republic of China in the Far East is becoming more and more incomprehensible to the Western countries.

"Uncivilized is uncivilized, no matter how strong the strength is, it is a group of barbarians who do not understand civilization!" The British ambassador said angrily.

"Now is not the time to discuss whether it is civilized or not, and what I am worried about now is whether the Chinese government, if it is so tough, will cause a world war in the Far East. Now we really can't afford to fight a protracted world war anymore. What's more, this is the Far East, our strength is greatly limited, and once we do it, we will definitely suffer a big loss! "The French ambassador was also depressed. Britain and France, who have always claimed to be civilized people, hate nothing more than to negotiate with unreasonable forces, especially this barbarian and the strength that they cannot bully at will, which makes the tried and tested cannon diplomacy of Britain and France simply unworkable.

"Ambassadors, now that China has shown great ambitions, even if we have the strength to stop them, we can't do it. What's more, there are many Chinese, and the Chinese government can organize millions of troops at any time, which is simply difficult for us to compete with on land. Now in the form of the Far East, we must rely on the power of Japan. Only Japan has the ability to stop China. The U.S. ambassador said.

"We know this, but the fear of Japan in China is far greater than that of China, and it may be difficult for us to change our domestic decision." The British and French ambassadors smiled wryly at the same time. Both countries are capitalist powers, the domestic conservative forces are very strong, and the victory in the First World War made them blindly confident in their own strength, while China is still an ignorant and backward country that can threaten by force at any time in his perception. Even if Britain lost the Sino-British War, those rotten nobles believed that it was because Britain was due to the First World War and the lack of power in the Far East.

"In any case, we have to report the situation in the Far East to the country accurately. Now China is like a lion on its own, and he is taking advantage of the civil strife in Tsarist Russia to show his fangs. The U.S. ambassador said.

The British and French ambassadors nodded their heads one after another, and as for the outcome, they couldn't think about it anymore.

The British Pacific Fleet currently consists of only two battleships, six cruisers, and ten destroyers, which is not a significant force in the current East Asian seas. Not to mention the relatively old Japanese fleet, the strength of China's East China Sea Fleet is far superior to that of the British Pacific Fleet. At present, the battleships King George V and Queen Elizabeth, the main forces of the British Pacific Fleet, are not the most advanced battleships in the United Kingdom, and they are only comparable to the super battleships of China and Japan in terms of performance. It is precisely because the Chinese Navy is no longer what it used to be that the British naval formation will bypass the island of Taiwan and sail in the open sea. Compared with the Chinese Navy, Britain still has relative trust in the Japanese Navy. China's economic development is too self-sufficient, its dependence on foreign countries is limited, and Britain's influence over the world's leading power is minimal. What's more, China had just fought a war with Britain, and the invincible British army suffered a defeat, so it was naturally disgraced. So they don't want to get in touch with the Chinese army too soon. Relatively speaking, although the Japanese navy is stronger than the Chinese navy, Japan is a processing economy and has a high degree of dependence on foreign countries. In particular, Britain, which had colonies all over Asia, was able to restrain Japan in terms of both industrial raw materials and markets for manufactured goods. It is precisely with these killer features that the British Navy will be able to sail into Japanese waters with confidence.

The British Navy entered the waters of South Korea and met the Japanese Navy's Fourth Fleet head-on. In the face of the British naval formation, the Japanese Navy showed great goodwill, not only lined up to welcome it, but also sent several warships to escort it. Of course, with the two super dreadnoughts of the United Kingdom, as long as Japan is not concentrating the main forces of the navy, the British Navy is not afraid. However, the Japanese enthusiasm greatly satisfied the commander of the British Dispatch Army.

The commander of the Japanese Fourth Fleet even boarded the flagship Queen Elizabeth to meet with Vice Admiral Jonathan, the commander of the British Army, and this series of actions made the British dispatch to Japan feel much better.

On September 7, 1921, the Chinese National Self-Improvement Army (later renamed the 99th Army of the National Defense Force) arrived at the foot of the Twin Cities. Liu Xiang set up a headquarters on a hill five kilometers from the Twin Cities.

On Liu Xiang's orders, the soldiers of the 99th Army launched the first tentative attack. The Chinese National Self-Improvement Army led by Liu Xiang was renamed the 99th Army of the Chinese National Defense Force, and the morale of the soldiers increased instead of falling; after all, China has won a series of victories in foreign counterattacks in the past two years, which has given these Chinese soldiers great confidence.
