The principal representatives of the Sun faction of the Kuomintang stayed in Changchun for a few days, and then signed a secret agreement with the local governments of the five northeastern provinces on mutual assistance between the north and the south.

The Northeast government will propose the establishment of a federal system at an opportune time and recommend Sun Wen as the first president of federal China.

2. To recognize the legitimacy of the Kuomintang, it is forbidden to arbitrarily drive and arrest Kuomintang members and restrict Kuomintang members.

3. Kuomintang members are not allowed to declare their opposition to Wang Maoru's rule in Northeast China, and they are not allowed to arbitrarily criticize Wang Maoru and the government he leads.

4. The Kuomintang is allowed to recruit party members within the jurisdiction of the five governments in Northeast China, but it must abide by local laws and policies.

5. The Kuomintang recommended Wang Maoru to be the commander of the Northern Military Region of the Federal Government.

6. Both sides express their support for the lawful status of the other side in Chapter 465 of the Three Thousand Ancient Miracles of War, and are ready and approved of the use of force to confront each other.

Sun Wen and his entourage have gained a lot in the Northeast, and it can be said that he got what he wanted, and beyond what he wanted, that is, the support of a powerful warlord. Working with Sun Wen's Kuomintang, Wang Maoru was not stupid enough to hand over the government to them, and he built Sun Wen to preserve his strength and wait for a good opportunity.

Later, a large number of Kuomintang members went north to enter the Northeast, but they encountered a problem, that is, at this stage, the Northeast system is complete, and these people must adapt to local rules to do things, for example, if they want to enter the military circles, they must completely withdraw from the party, everyone knows that although the Northeast Frontier Army claims to have no party, the army is only loyal to Wang Maoru, and the party is loyal to the party, which makes it very difficult for many Kuomintang members who want to enter the Northeast Army. Wang Maoru's army could naturally only be loyal to him alone, and the task of so many propagandists in the army was to publicize the army's allegiance to Wang Maoru. They are constantly using various ways to infect soldiers and officers and educate them about loyalty. And the secret agents of the intelligence department also strictly guard against anti-leader speech and personnel in the army, so it is very difficult for Kuomintang members to enter the army and achieve as much as possible. Some Kuomintang members Lu Lujuan 30000 Ancient Miraculous Achievements Chapter 465 War were ready to rise up and continue to retreat, or changed their careers to civilian movements and no longer participated in the military. However, there is another problem with this, since Wang Maoru's speech the year before last, new government personnel must have military experience in the Northeast Army, even if it is only a frontier patrol soldier with a short military service of one and a half years. People from the Kuomintang must first apply to serve as a military parade on the frontier. You can only enter politics after retiring, and these basic knowledge requirements.

The rule of the five northeastern provinces was somewhat territorially protected, and the Kuomintang encountered many difficulties when it came to the northeast. First of all, there is the issue of partisanship, there are too many parties here. Wang Maoru can't help the party in the northeast, and a large number of parties in the northeast have emerged. These parties divided up the population resources, although the Kuomintang was famous, but they followed the elite line, and students were not allowed to contact the party, once a student contacted the party immediately to expel them, once a student participated in a strike when Wang Maoru left Hong Kong with Princess Tajiana, and the result was really expelled. And these expelled students were not accepted by any school, no local government, and they had to leave the Northeast to study. And their places in school were given to other students who did not study well, and everyone was glad that these people left.

The Kuomintang came with joy. But after this year, he left miserably, because he really couldn't get real power. KMT members are denied access to the military and cannot serve as officials, and the five northeastern provinces are subject to draconian restrictions on speech. This also led to a great decline in the confidence of the Kuomintang.

At this time, Wang Maoru officially began to mobilize troops and prepare to intervene in Russia; first, in order to ensure contact, the General Logistics Office spent a lot of money to purchase 30 high-power telegraph radio stations from the United States. Wang Maoru dispatched all of these telegraphs, which could transmit signals up to 3,000 kilometers away, and each unit sold for 35,000 oceans, mainly for the intervention forces against Russia, and at the same time continued to order 20 units to strengthen the communications capability of the whole army.

On February 22, 1919, the Second Division of the participating army was officially incorporated into the 15th Division of the Northeast Frontier Army, the whole division was reorganized, the uniforms and ordnance were replaced, Du Baosan officially served as the commander of the division, Chen Baowu served as the chief of staff of the division, and the 15th Division immediately went north into Manchuria after a short rest. Subsequently, the 1st, 6th, 7th, 10th, and 11th Cavalry Divisions were transferred to Manchuria, while the 4th and 9th Divisions were assembled in Aihui County, Heilongjiang Province.

The General Staff of the Northeast Frontier Army ordered the remaining troops to be the Second Division (stationed in Jinzhou to prevent the Anhui Beiyang Army), the Fifth Division (stationed in Liaodong to defend against Japan), the Eighth Division (stationed in Shenyang to form a second line of defense against Japan and Anhui), the 13th Division (stationed in Changchun to ensure the core of the Northeast), the 14th Division (stationed in Harbin, the core of heavy industry in Northeast China, and the newly formed five reserve army divisions were all in Harbin), the 12th Division (stationed in Mongolia, and at the same time responsible for assisting in the defense of Russian guerrillas, and receiving and guiding the logistics of the intervention army to Russia), At the same time, a total of 10 armed police brigades from five provinces were stationed in the local area, and the remaining troops were commanded and coordinated by Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the general staff, and Zhang Xiaozhun, deputy chief of the general staff. He also ordered Zhang Xiaozhun to prepare for the expansion of five army divisions of 120,000 men, which were built two years later (early 1922), and these five army divisions were numbered as the 16th to 20th Army Divisions of the Frontier Army, and the garrison was located in Harbin.

Wang Maoru personally led the 1st, 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 15th, and 3rd Division, which arrived in Manchuria from Mongolia, to form the First Group Army of the Chinese Intervention Army, totaling 170,000 men, which set out from Manchuria and marched north into Russia to reach the Kazan front. The Fourth Division, the Ninth Division, and the Jiangfang troops formed the Second Army, which was commanded by Li Delin, deputy commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Army, with a total of 50,000 men from Aihui County entering Hailanpao and Jiangdong 64 Tun (that is, Blagoveshchensk in present-day Russia), and then entering Russia and the Japanese intervention army to form a north and south direction to exterminate the Soviet Russian guerrillas.

At the same time, the logistics command of the Intervention Army was also established, with Jiang Fangzhen as the commander-in-chief of the rear supply, while Mi Shaobai, the logistics minister, served as the rear logistics commander, Xu Youqian served as the logistics commander of the First Group Army at the front, Niu Delu served as the logistics commander of the Second Group Army, Zhao Jiacheng served as the financial management commander of the Chinese Intervention Army, and Zhang Kuian served as the official Chinese liaison officer of the Intervention Army.

Since Wang Maoru's eight army divisions were ready to start sending troops to Russia, Duan Qirui, who was far away in Beijing, had some difficulty riding tigers, and they originally thought that Wang Maoru could only delay and strive for benefits. Now not only Duan Qirui is looking at Wang Maoru to see if he can send troops, the whole country is looking at him, and people all over Asia are looking at whether the Northeast Frontier Army, a very special local government, can send troops, but Wang Maoru really dares to send troops, and Xu Shuzheng has to immediately send troops into Vladivostok. However, Wang Maoru's experience of annexing the Second Division is vivid, and Xu Shuzheng could not ensure that his army would be annexed again, so Xu Shuzheng hesitated. At the same time, due to the large number of personnel sent by Soviet Russia to provoke the country, except for the five northeastern provinces, which were strictly controlled, a general strike was launched throughout the country to oppose interference in Russia's internal affairs and to participate in the Russian civil war.

On the one hand, there are interests, and on the other hand, there are people's hearts, and Duan Qirui is also threatened by the Japanese side, asking him to resolutely support the actions of the intervention army. As a last resort, Xu Shuzheng still decided to change the name of the participating army to the Third Group Army of the Intervention Army, consisting of the first division, the third division and the ninth division of the Beiyang Army, a total of 40,000 people, starting from Tianjin, taking the Beijing-Shenyang Railway (formerly the Beijing-Feng Railway) to Shenyang, and then taking the railway through Changchun, Harbin, Suifen River, and then crossing the Ussuri River to Vladivostok.

Of course, the commanders of the three group armies of the three front armies, but the intervention army must always have a commander-in-chief, and this commander-in-chief is undoubtedly the respected Duan Qirui.

It's a pity that Duan Qirui is only the nominal commander-in-chief, and the most he can command is the Third Army, and even Jiang Fangzhen, a former staff member, is not as good. The biggest role of this commander-in-chief is to subdivide the military expenses of the participating armies composed of Gengzi's indemnity to the three group armies. At Japan's strong request, Xu Shuzheng's Third Army set off from Tianjin on the Beijing-Shenyang Railway, entered Russian territory one step ahead of the First and Second Armies, and arrived at Vladivostok, announcing the full-scale start of China's intervention in the Russian civil war.

The Third Army only made a foresight, and the main force of the operation against Russia this time was still Wang Maoru's army, such as Xu Shuzheng's Third Army running to Vladivostok and coming to hide behind and fool around. Vladivostok is under the tripartite management of Japan, the United States and Russia at this time, and the squadron is asked to make do with the excitement, and there are no Soviet and Russian guerrillas here. The Japanese side was very indifferent to Xu Shuzheng's arrival, and then the commander of the Japanese intervention army, Otani Kikuzo, ordered the Third Army of the Chinese intervention army to go north into the vast forests of Russia to exterminate the Soviet Russian guerrillas. Although Xu Shuzheng showed off his power in China, he could only obey orders in the face of his teacher, the Japanese.

In order to show their support for Tsarist Russia, the Americans followed the American habit of doing things -- they sent guns and artillery to pay for others to die, and the US government shipped a large number of British-made weapons to China from domestic production, including Lee Enfield rifles and cartridges, 13-pounder rapid-fire field guns (76.2 caliber), and 15-pounder MK1 rapid-fire field guns (76.2 caliber) to China to support the Chinese intervention forces. Of course, the most important thing is that Wang Maoru proposed to the Americans to buy shells for 122-mm howitzers, this kind of shells are what Wang Maoru desperately needs, and this is also the only caliber heavy artillery of the Northeast Border Guards, which is still obtained from Italy, and if you buy it directly from the Americans, I am afraid that the price will be more than ten times more expensive. After the end of the European war, the Americans overcapacity of major arms companies, so the export of 122-mm howitzer shells also took a low-cost approach, preventing the shutdown of factories, and even directly delivered the artillery shells that are now in use in the army to the Northeast Border Guards.

Japan, which has always imposed arms restrictions on the squadron, has had to keep silent again and again because of China's participation in the intervention against Russia, and the Kwantung Army is particularly angry that the Japanese side has lent the Chinese government more than 100 million yen so that the Chinese government has sufficient financial resources to purchase heavy artillery. Without Japanese opposition, the American shells soon arrived in Harbin and through Harbin to Manchuria, and at the same time sold about 100 old 122-mm howitzers in the American army to the Northeast Frontier Guards at a land price. Wang Maoru considered the safety of the hometown of the Northeast Frontier Army, and left the 100 cannons in China, and had no intention of bringing them to Russia. What made the Japanese feel uncomfortable was that these 100 cannons could be called heavy artillery, and 40 of them were actually deployed in the 5th Division of the Northeast Frontier Army stationed in Liaodong, while the 2nd Division stationed in Jinzhou was only allocated 20 heavy artillery, and it was obvious that the Chinese were far more wary of the Japanese than other warlord teams. rs！！！
