"Mongolia is China's territory, and we in the Northeast will never negotiate with territorial sovereignty." This is Feng Yong's bottom line, when he comes to this world, Feng Yong dares to bet more than anyone else. With his understanding of the general trend of history and good luck, Feng Yong was able to get to where he is today step by step, and he has established the extremely tough style of the Northeast Provincial Government in previous events.

Fortunately, it was the time of the First World War, and the power of the European powers in the Far East had been weakened to the extreme. If it had been before the war, the European powers would never have wanted a hardline military junta in Asia. An unstable force like Northeast China, which sits on a land of three provinces and has a population of 20 million, will certainly be jointly suppressed by the European powers, and I am afraid that the Russians and the Japanese will not be able to pass that hurdle, and it is simply impossible for Northeast China to develop as unscrupulously as it is now. If it had been after the war, the entire Far East would have become a source of raw materials and dumping of industrial goods for the Western powers to heal the wounds of war. It would be a fool's dream to think of such an easy development of national industry.

Sometimes Feng Yong himself is glad that he was reborn during the First World War, and he had too many opportunities to take advantage of. It has also become much easier to develop the industrial base, and the old order has been broken by war. Re-establish a new order. Now there are still two years to go before the end of the First World War, Feng Yong is confident that the Northeast will continue to develop at a high speed, and when the world war is over and the European powers return to the Far East, they will definitely be surprised to find that when they are busy with the war, a Northeast tiger in the Far East has completely awakened to a force that cannot be underestimated. Even the whole of China will get a big international low.

Jack Jones's mediation was destined to be fruitless, Feng Yong was convinced of the Tsar, knowing that he would never stop the world war on the European battlefield, even if the Tsar wanted to stop, the British would never agree. After all, during this period, the German army was winning, and Britain, France and Russia were defeated and retreated. Britain is pulling in a helping hand everywhere with his statement that the sun never sets, and in the Far East, Japan is the focus of its wooing. But Japan is too hateful. The benefits were eaten, and there was no intention of sending troops at all. Instead, he quarreled with the ministers of the British Empire. Jack Jones was only a subordinate of the British Empire's minister in China, and he did not know the news from the top of the hierarchy. However, it seems that Japan has obtained the consent of the empire and will not send an army to the West, but only a detachment of the navy to Europe to escort the convoy. As for the helper of the British Empire that appeared in the Far East, it is likely to be China, the largest country in the Far East. After all, the current European battlefield not only needs elite soldiers with strong combat effectiveness, but also a large number of cannon fodder and laborers. And China, a country with a large population, is undoubtedly the best choice to provide labor.

Jack Jones had not been in China for a long time, but he knew a lot about the situation in China, after all, the British concessions and merchant enterprises scattered all over China made them extremely well-informed. After Yuan Shikai's death, Britain was the most affected. After all, Yuan Shikai can be said to be the British's one hand on the presidential throne. During the reign of Yuan Shikai, Britain reaped a great deal of benefits in the Yangtze River valley in China. This also made the other Columns blush. This is especially true of Germany. This is probably one of the reasons for the outbreak of the First World War. After Yuan Shikai's death, his successor Li Yuanhong was far from having Yuan Shikai's prestige and means, and the Republic of China government was in a mess, not to mention national sovereignty. Although the central government was still nominally the ruler of the country, the provincial overseers were in charge of their own affairs. Divide the entire Republic of China into its own spheres of influence.

Among them, the most powerful is of course the Beiyang government, but during this time, the news of the split of the Beiyang Army has also come out, if the Beiyang Army completely splits the Chengwan system and the direct line, the strength of any of them can only be regarded as first-class in the country. Behind the Beiyang government was the Northeast Governor's Palace, and after that was the allied forces of the southwestern provinces. It can be said that the entire Republic of China is in chaos, and it is even possible that a situation of division will emerge. At this time, if the government of the Republic of China wants to maintain the unity of the country, it must obtain the support of the northeast and southwest, and once the northeast and southwest declare independence, I am afraid that the entire Republic of China will immediately fall apart. Therefore, for the Northeast, there is no convincing condition to rely on Jack Jones's low position.

At this time, the Confidential Section sent the latest information from the Mongolian steppe to Feng Yong's hands. Feng Yong looked at it. There was a smile on his face.

"Envoy Jack, if your British Empire wants to mediate the war between the Northeast and the Russians, I hope you can hurry, if you are slow. Major Marshal Ben cannot guarantee that there will still be a Russian ** team in China. Feng Yong said with a smile, completely ignoring Jack Jones's already changed face.

"Farewell!" Jack Jones couldn't care less about maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor. Leaving the Young Marshal's Mansion quickly, as a diplomat, Jack's political sense is still very sharp, and he got a shocking news from Feng Yong's words, the Cossack cavalry in the Mongolian steppe may be in crisis, and it may be eaten by the local troops in the northeast at any time. If it had happened, God knows if the brutal Russian tsar would have drawn soldiers from the European front to the Far East for the sake of face. If this happens, the pressure on the allied forces of Britain and France on the European battlefield will be unprecedentedly strong, and even if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss from which you will never recover. This responsibility is too great. So big that even the British minister to China may not be able to afford it, let alone Jack, a small envoy.

On the Mongolian steppes.

"The 8th Jebtsundamba is really a character. I didn't expect him to have such great courage as a monk! If it weren't for his great ambition and his special status, he could have taken it for himself. Jiang Baili said with a sigh. There was no hint of nervousness in his expression except for a hint of appreciation.

"Commander-in-chief! The telegram of the four khans asking for help, do we really not care? Cao Zheng looked at the telegram in his hand in surprise and said.

The envoys sent by the Northwest Military Region entered the khans of the four khans and were secretly received by the four khans. Under the strong military deterrence of the Northeast Security Army, the four khans wisely chose to cooperate with the Northeast Security Army. Of course, a direct uprising is impossible, after all, they have just annexed too many forces, and they have not yet digested it internally, who knows if there are any people from Jebtsundamba among these people. The four khans did not want to take any chances. As for whether they still have the intention of continuing to wait and see, no one knows.

However, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and when the northeastern envoys left, the news began to spread throughout the Mongol tribes. Such a thing with a nose and eyes was introduced to the ears of the 8th Jebtsundamba, the living Buddha on the Mongolian steppe, for the first time.

Jebtsundamba's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, and the 5,000 Living Buddha guards were divided into four groups and directly attacked the camp of the four khans.

Chechen Khan reacted the fastest, on the one hand, he asked his troops and horses to resist the attack of the Living Buddha Guards under the banner of the Northeast, and on the other hand, he sent a telegram to the Northeast Security Army to send troops to eliminate the Living Buddha of Jebtsundamba. This is where the Chechen Khan is smart. Playing the banner of the Northeast can deter the living Buddha. After all, the army of the Northeast is already close at hand, and if the Living Buddha doesn't want to die, he won't dare to kill him all. Of course, he also did this in the hope of currying favor with the Northeast Security Army. After all, as the first person to revolt, he will definitely receive some preferential treatment.

Several other khans were not slow to react. After all, now that they have completely torn their faces with the Living Buddha, they have no choice but to cling to the Northeast.

"Of course, but not now. Our target is not the Mongol cavalry, nor the 8th Jebtsundamba, they are just clowns, our target is the Cossack cavalry army of Tsarist Russia. Order Cui Xiaolong's department to move forward with all his might! Target Cossack cavalry station. Commander Cao, ordered all the soldiers of the North-Western Military District to assemble and move in the direction of the Cossack cavalry headquarters. ”

"Commander-in-chief, it's better for us to attack directly, even if we can't completely destroy these cavalry, we can inflict heavy damage on them." Cao Zheng said. Still, he preferred to encircle and annihilate the entire Cossack cavalry army in the Kulen region. Anyway, the three divisions of the Cossack cavalry army have already been wiped out by them for one and a half, and they don't care about killing the remaining one and a half.

"No! If we annihilate the Cossack cavalry army, I'm afraid we will really fight the Russians to the death. At present, the Northeast is not suitable for fighting a war of fate. So, let's try to force them out of the whole Mongolian region. When the time comes, we will refuse to defend the national border and have a good fight with the Russians. Although Jiang Baili didn't know what Feng Yong's final grand strategy was, he could still see with his strategic vision that as long as the Northeast did not fall too far into the face of the Russian Tsar, the Russians would not take a huge risk to start a war on both sides. After this period of understanding, Jiang Baili understands that what the Northeast needs most at present is development time. After all, the industrial base of the Northeast is weak, and it can even be said that it started from scratch, and in this case, the Northeast needs a relatively peaceful environment for development more and more. Although this Mongolian battle was Jiang Baili's maiden battle after entering the Northeast Security Army, he also wanted to let go of his hands and feet for his reputation, but thinking of the future strategic development of the Northeast, Jiang Baili gave up this good opportunity to gain military merits. This is Jiang Baili, a good man who gave up his own interests for the interests of the country.

Cao Zheng didn't know if Jiang Baili's plan was okay. In the final analysis, he is only the commander of the military region, and although he has tens of thousands of troops under his command, he usually pays more attention to military affairs, and does not know much about politics and international relations, and his strategic vision is invisibly worse than Jiang Baili. However, Cao Zheng, who was born in a military academy, has one thing best, that is, he has the strongest obedience to the orders of his superiors. This is a military character that is cultivated in a military school and is not innate. So no matter what he thought of Jiang Baili's plan, he would most likely obey Jiang Baili's orders. Of course, if the order is really unreasonable, he will also argue with reason, after all, this is a general's responsibility for the lives of soldiers.
