Northeast Marshal's Mansion.

"Young Marshal, the news of the annihilation of our Pioneer Regiment in the Ganning region has spread. I'm afraid that someone with a heart wants us to start a war with the Ganning region. So as to weaken the strength of our Northeast. Li Jun frowned with some anger. Last time, several people discussed it but did not come to a conclusion. After all, the opponent of the attack on the Vanguard Regiment was not determined. It is possible from all sides. This is a very humiliating thing for the entire Northeast Security Army.

"Young marshal, it seems that someone wants us to go on an expedition. So as to achieve ulterior purposes. I just don't know which side this force belongs to? Jiang Baili also felt a little depressed. The calm that had finally emerged in the Northeast was broken. Now the news of the annihilation of the Pioneer Regiment in the northwest has spread throughout the three eastern provinces. This incident has aroused great indignation among the people in Northeast China. They have asked the Northeast Security Army to send troops. Pacify the resistance forces in the Ganning region. Feng Yong was clear about these voices calling for war, but he never expressed the slightest opinion, and the entire Young Marshal's Mansion was very silent. This also makes it impossible for everyone to guess the next move in the Northeast.

"Father, eldest brother, third brother, what price do you think we need to pay to be able to swallow the Ganning region?" Feng Yong's face was calm. Now the Northeast is a bit difficult to ride a tiger. The reputation of hard work is under challenge.

"We don't know the intelligence in the Ganning area. But I've heard of Ma Jiajun's reputation. Ma Jiajun has been crisscrossing the Ganning region for decades, with deep roots and strong combat effectiveness. Although we don't know the specific strength of their troops, there are at least 40,000 or 50,000 people. Plus they're familiar with the location. It helps them to go to war. If the Northeast wants to completely swallow the entire Ganning region, it will not be able to take it without 60,000 to 80,000 Jīng Rui troops. Jiang Baili thought in his heart and said.

Li Jun nodded, he agreed with Jiang Baili's opinion.

"If the forces of the entire Western Military Region are concentrated, is it possible to completely swallow the Ganning region?" The total strength of the Western Military Region is nearly 70,000. However, Jīng Rui's troops were only about 40,000 people. The remaining 30,000 were all recruits with less combat experience. In this westward advance, the Western Military Region has not experienced a major war, and it is impossible to talk about tempering the troops. As to whether the 70,000 people of the Western Military Region can achieve the goal of annexing the Ganning region, Feng Yong has no bottom in his heart.

"If the logistics are in time, it should be possible." Li Jun nodded. Jiang Baili thought about it and nodded. After all, the prestige of the Northeast is all played.

"Good! If so, then hit the fuck. Third brother, this time I'm going to let you go west. to command the Northwest Campaign. Feng Yong looked at Li Jun and said.

"Me?" Li Jun was stunned. You must know that although he still holds the title of chief of staff of the Northeast Public Security Army, in addition to participating in the strategic decision-making of the security army, he no longer has contact with specific army commands. He also slowly accepted this reality and devoted himself to government affairs. But he didn't expect Feng Yong to choose to let him go west. to command this difficult battle.

"That's right! Third brother, this westward advance is different from the battle of Mongolia. In the Mongol campaign, we only need to beat the enemy out of Mongolia, and other things are naturally managed by the zhèng fǔ dispatch team. But the Northwest is different. The situation in the northwest is too complicated, and the dispute involving the Hui and Han ethnic groups cannot be resolved by military alone. In addition, we can only mobilize the Western Military Region, and the troops used are not abundant, and the battle front is long, so it is impossible to do it in a timely manner. This situation requires a general who is both strong in both the military and the government. And in our northeast, only the second brother has this ability. "Actually, Feng Yong himself is also suitable, but now as the leader of the Northeast, it is better if he can not move, plus his own military ability is not strong. In the previous battles, luck accounted for a large part. Now that he has military bulls like Jiang Baili and Li Jun under his command, Feng Yong doesn't need to take action himself. Maintaining a sense of mystery is more conducive to one's own rule.

"Yes!" Li Jun was a little excited. In the end, he still regards himself as a soldier in his heart. And what is left the army still called a soldier. Now that Feng Yong has put him in charge of the army again, his heart is full of excitement.

Feng Yong had already made up his mind to start a war, and the message from the Young Marshal's Mansion quickly spread in all directions. Immediately afterwards, the Quartet also learned about the decision of the Young Marshal's Mansion. Although some people had already thought that Feng Yong would not swallow this breath, such a violent reaction from the Northeast was still beyond everyone's expectations.

Li Jun's actions were very fast, and the handover of government affairs was completed on the same day. With Feng Delin in charge, the general development direction of the Government Council has been determined. There is no problem with leaving Li Jun for the time being. In order to rush to the west as soon as possible, Li Jun decided to do a plane to the west.

This decision of his made everyone frown. Although with the current aircraft technology in the Northeast, there are no problems with manned flights. But at this time, there are almost no people who actually do airplane travel. And the current aircraft are limited to the technical base, and the flight range is not far. If you want to fly continuously, you must have a base for refueling along the way. The oil used in the Northeast is basically imported, although Feng Yong knows that there are rich reserves of oil buried under the black soil of the Northeast. But before the Northeast Security Army had no ability to protect this oil, Feng Yong would never order the extraction, and now that the whole of China is still wearing the hat of an oil-poor country, such a China will be greatly less attractive to the great powers, especially the devils.

Feng Yong only entered Mongolia, in addition to expanding the strategic space in the northeast, but also because there were several medium-sized oil fields in the Mongolian steppe. These oil fields can extract the oil supplied to the northeast without being overly coveted by the devils. It's a win-win-win-win thing.

As for letting Li Jun fly, Feng Yong was resolutely opposed. Just kidding, if the plane crashes, his losses will be great. If the current Northeast loses Li Jun, it will greatly affect the development speed of the Northeast, which Feng Yong cannot bear. Of course, he also understands Li Jun's idea of rushing to the West as soon as possible. So Feng Yong dispatched more than a dozen trucks to take him west. Trucks in Tohoku have just been mass-produced. At present, only a dozen finished products have been produced, and Feng Yong did not hesitate to ration them to Li Jun to speed up his progress.

Cui Xiaolong's division of the Western Military Region in Outer Mongolia also went south under Feng Yong's order, preparing to join the main force of the Western Military Region and move west into the Ganning region. The westward advance corps led by Zhang Xiaoshan temporarily stopped its advance, focusing on reconnaissance of local forces in the Ganning area.

"Who are you?" The caravan of the Zhanjia Da** was intercepted by the scouts of the Northeast Security Army at a distance of ten miles from the Western Military Region's Western Advance Corps station. This is a squad of scouts, responsible for the security of the entire military region.

"Sir, we are businessmen in the Ganning region. It is now about to enter the northeast through the Mongolian region. Please be accommodating, sir. The leader said. And took a step forward and secretly handed over a few pieces of ocean.

"Stop for a check, or take a detour!" The scout ignored the ocean handed over by the big man. Discipline in the Northeast Security Army is extremely strict, and accepting bribes is subject to military courts. The Scout, as a member of the army, certainly understands all this. Plus the front is the big battalion of the Northwest Military District. How to get these caravans in.

At this moment, a woman dressed as a maid suddenly jumped from the first carriage in the center of the caravan. Bypassed everyone and came to the front of the scouts of the Northeast Security Army. said: "Master Jun, someone asked me to show you this!" As he spoke, he handed him something exactly like the scout's epaulettes, except that there were two bars and two stars on it. This is the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Northeast Security Army, and the military rank should be at the regimental and battalion level. And the scout squad leader is just a bar and a star, just a second lieutenant. This is also because he is a scout of Jīng Rui, and the squad leader of an ordinary soldier is only a private. Since the establishment of the Northeast Security Army, the Beiyang Army has been abandoned, and Feng Yong has completely copied the military rank system of the People's Liberation Army in later generations.

At present, in the entire Northeast Public Security Army, Feng Delin, Jiang Baili, and Li Jun have the rank of lieutenant general, and the commander and political commissar of the military region of Zhang Xiaoshan and others are major generals. The division commander is a colonel, the brigade commander is a colonel, the regiment commander is a lieutenant colonel, the battalion commander is a major, the company commander is a captain, and the platoon commander is a lieutenant. This is the rank of military chief and political chief in the troops. The rank of deputy is at least one level lower than that of the chief officer. As for Feng Yong himself, he does not have a military rank. He also does not need a military rank. Because the Northeast Security Army was established for too short, the military rank is generally lower than the military rank. For example, in the Republic of China, the division commanders are all lieutenant generals, but in the Northeast, the division commander is at most a brigadier general. This is also something that cannot be helped, after all, the future of the Northeast needs to be constantly fighting. If you set the starting point too high, it will not be good for future rewards.

As soon as he saw this military hat, the scout squad leader's face changed, because it was stained with blood, and the only battalion and regiment-level officers who had an accident in such a place were the vanguard regiment. As soon as he thought of this, an eager look appeared on the face of the reconnaissance squad leader. During this time, because of the annihilation of the Pioneer Regiment, the pressure on their reconnaissance troops was too great. What made them even more humiliated was that not a single soldier fled back from the entire vanguard regiment on the battlefield, except for the corpses left behind.

"This **, can you tell the owner of this hat about the current situation?" The Scout squad leader was a little short of breath.

"He's in the wagon, he's just badly injured, but don't worry, he's pretty much out of danger now." The maid whispered.

"Bolt, take them to the headquarters of the military region and report this matter." The reconnaissance squad leader was overjoyed. He decided to believe them, after all, with their little strength, what kind of threat could they bring to the Western Military District. Bring them into the headquarters of the military district, and everything will be clear.

"Lao Liu, you take someone out ten kilometers forward to see if anyone is following." Although the reconnaissance squad leader was not afraid to bring them into the headquarters of the military district, he could not allow them to follow the tail.
