At the joint military-political meeting, a resolution was reached to keep Mongolia at all costs, which made the northern government and the northern army immediately plunge into the war of armament. Originally, the thirteen infantry divisions that had already been erected had accelerated the speed of formation. The General Staff Headquarters has issued an order that all personnel must be replenished within a month, and then adaptive training must begin.

In addition, the recruitment of soldiers in the Inner Mongolia region began, and once again eight cavalry brigades were formed. Compared with Outer Mongolia, Inner Mongolia has a larger population, and the herders have benefited more from the reform of the northern government, and they are more supportive of the rule of the northern government. Recruiting tens of thousands of cavalry from among the millions of Mongols is not too much of a problem. With the addition of Han Chinese recruited from the northeast, it was a no-brainer to form eight cavalry brigades.

The arsenal has also accelerated its production schedule and has begun stockpiling weapons and ammunition for the next war. In the event of a large-scale war with Russia, the consumption of all kinds of weapons and ammunition will probably be very large.

The final step is to expand the infantry by fifteen infantry divisions. It's just that these fifteen infantry divisions will build the shelves first. If the Russians had known each other and stopped meddling in the affairs of the Mongols, then the two sides might have been able to get along. These fifteen infantry divisions do not need to be full. But if Lao Maozi insists on fighting this battle, then these 15 infantry divisions will be formed in the shortest possible time. After all, in addition to sending a large number of troops to fight Lao Maozi, it was also necessary to leave enough troops to guard against Little Japan and Yuan Datou in the south.

"Haoxuan, this time. I'm afraid we are facing a big test. The days of peace have not passed for two years, and there is another war. Wu Xingquan said. Though. At the military-political joint meeting. He is unreservedly supportive of Wu Haoxuan. However, when the two fathers and sons talked in private, he clearly expressed his concern.

"Father, don't worry. Russia is a giant, but they are nothing more than a giant with feet of clay. There are too many internal problems in Russia, and the industry is not developed, coupled with the financial crisis. They were not fit to fight abroad at this time. Of course, if the Russians insist on fighting, we are not afraid of them. Both the Far East and Eastern Siberia are too far from the hinterland of Russia. It would be a disaster for their army to be sent to fight so far away. In the Russo-Japanese War, Lao Maozi had already tasted defeat once. If they want to try again, we'll let them do it. Wu Haoxuan looked very confident. After all. Far away. The investment in Russia's strong military strength was developed, and Russia's standing army of up to 1.4 million was sent to the Far East and Eastern Siberia at most. This is not too much of a problem for the Northern Army, which has already expanded. The Northern Army is very likely to win.

Wu Xingquan nodded, he understood all the truths that Wu Haoxuan said. It's just that in his concept. To go to war with an old power like Russia is really scary enough. The Russians though lost the Russo-Japanese War. But it's still not to be underestimated!

"What if the Japanese really join forces with Lao Maozi? Will we be able to withstand their attacks? Wu Xingquan asked.

"This is very unlikely. The Japanese are still licking their wounds and are not ready for war. In addition, their masters, the British, would not allow the Japanese to join the war. As I have already analyzed, the British wanted the Russians to abandon their expansion into the Far East. Therefore, the Japanese would never dare to mix in at this time. If the Japanese are determined to get involved, then we will have to expand our army further. Fortunately, we have established a reserve system in the seven northern provinces. In the Northeast, at least a million more people can be mobilized. In this case, our total strength will be raised to two million men. Of course, this is already our limit. Once our army is numbered to two million, even if the Japanese and Russians join forces, they will not try to defeat us. There is no way they can fight a protracted war with them. What's more, we can also get support from other countries. For example, in the United States, they want us to hit the Japanese again. The Germans also hoped that we would be able to severely weaken the Russians. Wu Haoxuan said with a smile.

"Okay then, I'll be relieved." Wu Xingquan nodded.

"Father, I want to leave for Kulen today." Wu Haoxuan said.

"To Cullen? It's too dangerous there, isn't it? Once war with the Russians broke out, Cullen would be the target of the Russians' attack. Wu Xingquan was a little reluctant to let Wu Haoxuan put himself in danger.

"Father, I'll be measured. We have three cavalry brigades in Mongolia, more than 20,000 people. Even if the Russians attack Mongolia, we will be able to deal with them. What's more, there are eight cavalry brigades formed in Inner Mongolia, and it is believed that they will be formed soon. When the time comes, we only need to leave one cavalry brigade in Inner Mongolia, and the remaining ten cavalry brigades can be put into Outer Mongolia. Thirteen cavalry brigades, a full 100,000 people, were enough to fight the Russians. Even if the Russians decide to go to war with us, it will probably take a long time to be ready. We still have plenty of time. I went to Kulen mainly to get rid of the Mongol princes and lamas who opposed us, and they were the cancer. These people have a very close relationship with the Russians, and they must be uprooted. Wu Haoxuan said.

What he hated most were those who betrayed the lord for glory and colluded with foreigners. Although, the Mongols and the Han are two ethnic groups. But over the centuries, the two sides have merged and together formed the Chinese nation. These people who vainly attempt to split the country and the nation are simply the most heinous crimes.

"Okay, then you go. I'll sit in Shengjing and take care of things here. Wu Xingquan said.

That night, Wu Haoxuan said goodbye to his two wives, looked at his son, and set out on a journey to Kulen with the guards early the next morning. Now, the railway has been built to the north of Xilin Gol, and it is about to enter Outer Mongolia. As the situation in Mongolia became more and more tense, Zhan Tianyou, director of the Department of Transportation, also rushed to the construction site. Supervise the acceleration of construction. The sooner the railway was repaired to Kulen, the greater the advantage of the Northern Army in this war.

As it stands, of course. If war really breaks out, it is estimated that after the end of the war, the railway has not been repaired to Kulen. However, for every additional kilometer of railway construction, logistical replenishment becomes less difficult. The railways that have already been built can be opened to traffic first. In this case, it is necessary to rely on supply lines that are stored for transportation. It's going to be much shorter.

If a war breaks out in Mongolia, both the Northern Army and the Russian Army will face this problem. Merely. The northern government has already won the support of the Mongols, and in terms of logistical supply, it is naturally less difficult than the Russian army. If the Russians want to win this war, they will have to pay a greater price. Moreover. The final victory. It doesn't have to be theirs.

On the train from Shengjing City to Xilin Gol, Wu Haoxuan began to rummage through the information sent by the Intelligence Bureau.

Outer Mongolia is mainly divided into four divisions, namely the Chechen Khan, the Tushetu Khan, the Saiyin Noyan and the Zasaktu Khan, of which the Chechen Khan is in the east and the Zasaktu Khan is in the west. In addition to these four, there are also the Mongol tribes of Tangnu Ulianghai. For the time being, the main ones who are closer to the Russians are the Chechen Khanate and the Tushetu Khan.

Among the princes of Outer Mongolia. Not all of them were willing to defect to the Russians, only some of them were co-opted by the Russians. Among the remaining Mongol princes. There is also a large part of the wobble. If the Northern Army could destroy the Mongol princes and lamas who had defected to the Russians with a thunderous force, they might be able to win them over. After all, emotionally speaking, the Mongols still identify with the Chinese nation.

In addition, among the separatist forces in Outer Mongolia, there is one figure that cannot be bypassed. That is the living Buddha of Outer Mongolia, Jebtsundamba VIII. As the living Buddha of Outer Mongolia, he is undoubtedly the spiritual ruler of the Mongols. However, this living Buddha has been completely bought by the Russians. The gold and silver treasures of the Russians, as well as the woman's sex, have caused this living Buddha to fall into hell. It was precisely because of this that the Mongol princes and lamas thought that they were very likely to win. After all, as long as the Living Buddha says a word, there is a great possibility that those herdsmen in the entire Outer Mongolia will support them.

Wu Haoxuan also admits that Jebtsundamba VIII is a very tricky figure. Luckily, he had already made the arrangements. Since Jebtsundamba VIII had fallen to the Russians, there was no need to keep him any longer. After arriving at Kulen, find an opportunity to get rid of him directly, and then find a new living Buddha for the Mongols, a living Buddha controlled by the Northern Army. Then, all the problems are solved.

After Wu Haoxuan and the others arrived at Xilin Gol, they rode to Kulun instead. In order to hide people's eyes, Wu Haoxuan and his party all disguised themselves as merchants who bought wool. With the government's large-scale promotion of sheep breeding in Mongolia, the vast majority of Mongolians have raised sheep. There are countless merchants who come to Mongolia from the mainland to buy wool. This has also led to an improvement in the living standards of the Mongolian people. In addition, these caravans will also bring a large number of goods, especially salt and tea and other daily necessities that the Mongols must have, and the Mongols are very welcome to these caravans.

Of course, Wu Haoxuan's caravan is simply a fake. Except for Wu Haoxuan, the more than 200 people who followed were all members of a company of the guards. (To be continued......)
