Qiao Zhiqing and Min Ziying stayed in Korea for two days, and after inspecting all the troops that had been captured in Korea, they set off for Beijing.Originally, Qiao Zhiqing wanted to go to the Mongolian Military Region to inspect it, but there was no railway between Ulaanbaatar and the interior of Mongolia, and he had to take a horse-drawn carriage to get there.Min Ziying just had a pregnancy reaction, and after being examined by the doctor, she was already more than two months pregnant.Qiao Zhiqing didn't dare to be careless, so he decided to go back to the north first, and then go to the Ulaanbaatar Military Region to inspect the next time he has time.At this time, it was already April weather, and the snow and ice on the earth had long since thawed.Everything recovers, flowers are red and willow green.The ice period in Siberia has just passed, and although the weather is still a little cold, it is already possible to move outside.Russia has been dormant for a whole year for this crusade.As soon as the temperature warmed up, the Russian vanguard army of 100,000 took the lead in crossing the Ural Mountains and captured more than a dozen cities east of the Ural Mountains with lightning speed.Manchukuo did not have an army stationed here at all, and it was said that it was a city, but in fact it was a gathering place of tribes that had originally submitted to Manchukuo.This time, the Russian army did not rush forward with merit, but strictly followed the step-by-step strategy issued by the tsar.Outposts were set up on all sides of these cities, and the natives were relocated from the east of the Urals.When the Russian army was defeated, millions of aborigines followed suit.Now that the Russian army has fought back, of course, it can't occupy an empty place, and it has to relocate some people.The Tsar also issued a relocation order, and all Russian civilians who were willing to move east of the Ural Mountains were given free land according to their population.Within a time, tens of thousands of landless peasants returned to the occupied areas in the first batch.Although the tsar liberated the serfs from freedom, the serfs still had no land and still depended on the old landlords for survival.Man dies for money, and birds die for food.Now that a large amount of land can be obtained for free, how can it not excite these landless peasants.Russia now has a population of hundreds of millions, most of which are concentrated in the area west of the Ural Mountains.More than 80 percent of the newly freed serfs were landless and only nominally emancipated.As soon as the flames of war of the Russian army burned, Manchukuo was immediately shocked.They have been fighting with Russia for so many years, and they are still very afraid of Lao Maozi in their hearts, and every time Lao Maozi comes, it means that the family is broken.The main thing is that they have no confidence in the army of Manchukuo, and they have to ask for the support of the Huaxing army every time in order to drive Lao Maozi away.At this time, Manchukuo was still in the turmoil of reform, and after Qiao Huaien changed the law, he and all the Manchu relatives and nobles were opposed.He was too eager to achieve results, and as a result, as soon as the decree was issued, everyone accepted it openly and secretly resisted, and the promotion of the new policy across the country was blocked, and it was difficult.At this time, the Russian army was afraid of the attack of the army, and the whole country fell into a panic.They did not exercise actual jurisdiction over the regions adjacent to the Ural Mountains.If Lao Maozi pushes forward directly, he will soon be able to reach the prefectures and counties inhabited by the Manchus.Qiao Huaien hurriedly convened his cronies to discuss, at this time he could only use 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Huaxing army, which was not enough for Tsarist Russia."
Don't sit still, talk about it, and say whatever you have to say" Qiao Huaien threw the military newspaper on the table, and hurriedly asked with an anxious face.His classmates are now all in charge of Manchukuo, but they are all empty titles, and the people under them are all in disobedience, and no one listens to them at all.The evil consequences of killing Prince Gong at the beginning continued to appear at this time, and Qiao Huaien was now like an empty commander, and the only place he could control was the palace."
Your Majesty, according to the military newspaper, the Russian army has obviously changed its tactics this time.Last time, they were able to advance almost halfway through the last month.But this time they only occupied a few surrounding areas, and they had no intention of advancing forward" Wang Shizhen calmly analyzed with the military newspaper, he was the brains of everyone.Qiao Huaien had just formed an armed force directly under him, and Wang Shizhen, known as the "Manchurian Army," was now the chief of staff of the Manchurian Army, and Luo Zhenhao was the commander of the Manchurian Army."
What Brother Shizhen said is extremely true, the Russian army must have come prepared this time.They have been preparing for ten years, and they estimate that they have accumulated enough strength.Judging from the speed of their advancement, they have indeed changed their tactics, and it is estimated that they want to encroach on our territory step by step," Yuan Shikai echoed approvingly, he is now the prime minister of Manchukuo and is in charge of civil affairs in peacetime."
Yes, that's it, we shouldn't be in danger for the time being, and now if Ronglu and we are close to each other, they will definitely not be willing to sacrifice their Protector forces against Russia.We must speed up the pace of military expansion, and we can't confront Russia head-on," Luo Zhenhao also analyzed, and his expression was tightly twisted."
Your Majesty, let's send a telegram to New China first, and ask His Majesty the Emperor what he is going to do," Feng Guozhang suggested, and now he is also the deputy commander of the Manchurian Army, in charge of logistics.One of the most successful things Jowyn did in the months after his arrival in Manchukuo was to erect a telegraph line between Heilongjiang and Vladivostok.Now the communication between the two parties is very convenient, and Joe Wynne can communicate directly with his father, and he can arrive in minutes."
I have already sent a report to His Majesty the Emperor, and it is estimated that he will have an order to send it back soon."
Hearing their analysis, Joe Wynne's heart calmed down a little.Indeed, as they say, the Russian army has no intention of continuing the offensive now.This is undoubtedly good news for them, at least there is time to expand the army.All the young people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, with the support of New China, even the Russian army was not afraid to knock on the door."
How is the matter of the expansion of the army" Qiao Huaien calmed down, and was still ready to do a good job of the expansion of the army."
Report to Your Majesty the King, when our policy went out, the peasants of Manchukuo were very popular and rushed to join the army.Now the number of applicants has exceeded 30,000, and we are in the process of selecting" Luo Zhenhao stood up and responded, full of confidence in the expansion of the army.The main thing is that Qiao Zhiqing had already explained before leaving that all the equipment of the Manchurian Army was supported by New China.He is also not worried about the equipment, and now he only selects farmers with good physical fitness.Joe Wynne didn't force it when he gave the conscription order, but he did attach a preferential treatment.As long as they participate in the Manchurian Army, after completing five years of military service, they can get 100 acres of fertile land within the territory of Manchukuo.This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for homeless people who have no job and no land.Within a month of the decree, more than 30,000 people had signed up."
Very good, this matter will be implemented as soon as possible, so that when the Russian army attacks, we can have the ability to protect ourselves" Qiao Wynn nodded, his eyes showing a hint of expectation.Now he finally understands what his father said to him, "power comes out of the barrel of a gun" There are no soldiers and horses in his hands, everything is just a piece of paper, and the government decree can't even get out of the imperial city
