……………………………………………… With a series of moves by the Beijing government, the forces of the great powers were intimidated, and Japan's fear of the Beijing government became more and more serious, so its support for China's regional forces also reached a peak. Japan's top brass believes that only by allowing China to fall into a civil war can the Japanese government have the opportunity to dominate the Far East and dominate the world.

Under the guidance of this ideology, Japan provided a large amount of Beiyang armaments and materials to train troops for Beiyang. For a time, the number of Japanese in Beiyang increased dramatically. Moreover, a large number of Japanese soldiers came to work in China under the banner of being discharged.

Beijing, Young Marshal's Mansion.

Feng Yong's mood during this time was still very good. Good news came from the northeast, Zhao Ya successfully gave birth in the Changchun Young Marshal's Mansion, and the mother and child were safe. Although Feng Yong's biological age is only seventeen years old, his mental age is already in his twenties, and fathers abound in the 21st century when they married late and had children later, so Feng Yong's mood is still very excited. If it weren't for the tense situation in the country, I'm afraid he would have to leave immediately and go back to the Northeast to visit Zhao Ya's mother and son. Men are always most emotionally excited when they are new fathers. This is the joy of inheritance.

With Feng Yong's son, the entire Beijing ruling area was jubilant. You know, this indicates that there will be a successor to the Beijing government. Of course, Feng Yong is only seventeen years old, and his life has just begun, and it is too early to say that there will be successors. However, traditional Chinese culture attaches great importance to inheritance. A large part of China's thousands of years of history has been over the issue of heirs. As the so-called alternation of power, it is when the struggle is at its most intense. In order to establish the status of the heir and minimize the turmoil caused by the change of power, the successive dynasties basically established the legitimacy of the heir immediately after the change of power. In order to ensure that the forces to which they belong can alternate peacefully.

Of course, although the current Beijing government is essentially a warlord dictatorship, it is indeed a democratic revolutionary government externally, and its government functions are similar to those of the world's advanced democracies. Therefore, no one will come forward to let the young Feng Yong establish an heir, which also makes Feng Yong a lot easier.

If it was Feng Yong in the previous life, a woman, family would become the focus of her life, but after being reborn, Feng Yong shouldered the mission of the country and the nation, and the family could no longer be the focus of her life. Therefore, even when his eldest son was born, he still did not have time to visit. And in this era, if a child wants to go south safely, I am afraid that it must be at least 100 days after birth, and the infant mortality rate in this era is still very high. As the heir to the Northeast regime, Feng Yong certainly would not take this risk. Therefore, Feng Yong could only suppress his expectations for his children and concentrate on dealing with national affairs.

In Feng Yong's study, there are two huge maps, one of the world and the other of China. This era was limited to printing technology, and it was difficult to compare the accuracy and clarity of later generations, but even so, it was already the most advanced map in the world.

Now there are five men standing in Feng Yong's study, five men who can influence the fate of China. Feng Delin, Feng Yong, Jiang Baili, Li Jun, Zhang Zuolin. Five people gathered in front of the map of the Republic of China, and the map was densely marked. Among them, in the southeast of Shaanxi, the south of Shanxi, the south of Hebei, and the southeast of Shandong, there are dense red and white spots. There are several places where red and white stickers are most densely populated, and that is northern Anhui and northwest Henan.

"Young Marshal, Beiyang is mobilizing heavy troops to the south, with Wu Peifu's 22nd Army of the National Defense Army and Zhang Xiaozhun's 23rd Army as the two arrows. With this as the core, two military blocs have been formed, which can be attacked and defended, and this is the biggest obstacle to our southward movement. In addition, the 21st Army of the National Defense Force led by Cao Kun has been transferred north and is expected to sit in central Anhui as a reserve for the two attack groups, while taking into account the task of defending Nanjing,......". Jiang Baili carefully analyzed the military deployment of Beiyang. Although these are confidential, they are far from being monolithic within Beiyang, so the Beijing government can still collect this information. Beiyang is used by the Beijing government with the three numbers of the method, but in addition to the three armies on the surface, there are also countless 'local' troops with their own independent numbers. Therefore, the actual strength of Beiyang is not something that can be determined by the Beijing government with a letter of appointment.

"Wu Peifu, Zhang Xiaozhun, these are all tiger generals! It's a pity, but now it's our enemy. Feng Yong sighed and said. Needless to say, Wu Peifu is a person. Even in the Republic of China in the previous life, it was a very powerful existence, the direct boss, the first Chinese man to appear in the American Time magazine, known as the man with the most hope of unifying China. He is also known as a military strongman who is handsome. Such a big talent could not be used by Feng Yong, and he felt extremely sorry. And Zhang Xiaozhun and Feng Yong were also very surprised, and at the same time admired Feng Guozhang's courage. Among the three outstanding Chinese non-commissioned officers, Jiang Baili was valued by Yuan Shikai and was appointed to train the new army, and later after being excluded by Beiyang, he served as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy, and trained countless military talents for China. The generals who graduated in his hands are even more numerous. Cai Yi's outstanding performance in the Protectorate War also made him famous all over the world. As one of the three masters, Zhang Xiaozhun, only when Sun Yat-sen served as the provisional president, he performed in the Nanjing Provisional Government, and later with Yuan Shikai's theft of the country, the Nanjing Provisional Government collapsed, Zhang Xiaozhun's army became rootless, and he himself was excluded and his life deteriorated. Eventually, it faded out of everyone's sight. In this case, Feng Guozhang was able to value him and promote him so high at one time to become the hottest general in Beiyang. Such a knowing grace will definitely make Zhang Xiaozhun die. This is also the reason why Feng Yong sighed greatly. The times create heroes, his arrival has changed the fate of many people, Zhang Xiaozhun, who died in obscurity, is now shining and becoming a general with tens of thousands of troops, and he is still against himself, which makes Feng Yong feel depressed every time.

"Young marshal, Beiyang seems to be strong now, but the real elite troops are only more than 100,000 people, which is far less terrifying than it shows. Now we are gradually filling up enough to sustain a war. Moreover, now that the Japanese are constantly increasing their support for Beiyang, if we delay any longer, we will only allow Beiyang's strength to continue to swell and become a stumbling block that hinders our reunification of the whole country. Li Jun said. He was the president of the Government Council of the Beijing Government, equivalent to the premier of the state in later generations, and was in charge of all the government affairs of the Beijing Government.

"Yong'er, I also agree to go to war now. Now Beiyang is no longer the original Beiyang. The Anhui system was completely defeated, and the direct line stood out, vigorously rectifying the interior of Beiyang. Although Beiyang was disabled by us. However, it still controls the seven provinces of the Central Plains, and its war potential is no weaker than that of our Beijing government. If we don't take advantage of the fact that they are not rejuvenated, once the Beiyang reform takes effect, it will become impossible for us to easily unify the country. Feng Guozhang said. In the past few days, there has been a lot of clamor of ideas within the Beijing government, the most heated of which is the question of whether the Beijing government will go to war. It even sparked speculation from people from all walks of life throughout Beijing. On these sensitive political issues, the Northeast government has not restricted people's speech. Feng Yong knows that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan. And he himself comes from the twenty-first century of freedom of speech. Longing for that kind of free and easy environment. Besides, the people involved in the discussion of this kind of thing are all idle and boring people, and even if they speak, it is difficult to influence Feng Yong's decision. In addition, Feng Yong knows that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, as long as he firmly controls the army, even if all other rights are abandoned, he is still the ruler of China. It is precisely by understanding this that President Li Yuanhong is not completely a puppet, and Li Jun, the president of the Government Council, can display his talents without restraint.

"Hmmm! The purpose of this gathering is to study how to unify the whole country at the lowest cost. Feng Yong said in a deep voice. Although the Wehrmacht is strong, it is far from being strong enough to swallow the North Ocean in one gulp. Even if Beiyang is decaying, there are still seven provinces under its rule, and the population is no more than that under the Beijing government, and in this case, Feng Yong also felt the pressure. He didn't expect the struggle of the Beiyang direct Anhui system to end so easily, Beiyang is unified internally, and there is the support of Japan, a powerful capitalist country, externally, give them time, the situation in China may really become difficult to control, in the face of this situation, Feng Yong can only pull his eyes back from the world, the outside must first settle the inside, the internal instability, when the outside, the strength of the ten can not be used.

Hearing that Feng Yong agreed to go to war, Feng Delin and the others were extremely excited. They knew that this time the Wehrmacht moved south, and the victory was very certain. After all, the size of the National Defense Force is the largest in the whole of China, with an army of 1.6 million, which is a heavy pressure on any force.

"Young Marshal, I think that if we go to war, the most important thing at first is to carry out military mobilization. Although we have more than 1.6 million troops, among them there are more than one million new troops, and the elite troops of the Southeast Military Region and the Northeast Military Region cannot move. In addition, our vast territory needs a large number of troops to defend it, and once a war starts, the number of troops we can put into the battlefield should not exceed 500,000. And in the entire Beiyang, there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and if you enter the war for emergency mobilization, I am afraid it will not be difficult to raise a million troops. And now they have Japanese support behind them, and although it is difficult for a million troops, they can also be raised. Under such circumstances, we can only expand our forces in a-for-tat manner. In addition, the territory we occupy also needs to be guarded by soldiers, and this kind of work cannot be done by field troops. Therefore, the mobilization for war and the requisition of soldiers from the reserve have become the most important tasks at present. Jiang Baili said in a deep voice. It is not impossible for the Northeast to dispatch 500,000 regular troops to sweep across the Beiyang, but war is not only about fighting, but also about logistics, the handling of occupied territory, and a series of other problems
