Cao Kun replied gratefully: "Cao Kun will definitely live up to the president's high expectations!"

"I haven't finished my words yet!" Tang Jian added, "The Russians took advantage of the civil war to occupy the northeast for several years and built countless solid fortifications. There are tens of thousands of elite Russian infantry cavalry in the northeast, which is several times more difficult than the Western Expedition!"

"So, I decided to form an armored regiment with more than 20 armored vehicles under Zhang Zuolin and ten armored vehicles under Wu Peifu to help your troops head north together." Tang Jian put down the baton in his hand and said.

Cao Kun nodded in emotion: "Thank you, President!"

Tang Jian continued: "Duan Qirui obeys the order, I appoint you as the general of the Northern Expedition Middle Route, go north to Outer Mongolia to cut off the important supply line of the Russian army in the Far East, assist Cao Kun to wipe out the Russian army in the northeast, and then take the opportunity to take back Outer Mongolia!"

"Duan Qirui accepts the order!" Duan Qirui stood up and saluted.

"There is also the Pacific Fleet. This time, it is the auxiliary to Cao Kun to march from the water and land into the Northeast. The specific landing route will be discussed later depending on the specific situation!" Tang Jian turned his head and said to Ye Zugui and Cheng Biguang.

"The importance of this Western Expedition and Northern Expedition is self-evident. It is related to national unity. Please do your best!" Tang Jian took a deep breath, "Everyone is ready to go down. The General Staff is fully responsible for the military operation of this Western Expedition and Northern Expedition! The specific order to start the decree will be fully informed after the General Staff discusses it!"

"Bao Shu" all the officers present stood up, saluted solemnly, and shouted: "Abide by the order!"

"Let's go off!" Tang Jian waved his hand.

Everyone retreated after orders, and soon Tang Jian was left in the entire General Session Conference room. Tang Jian patted his head with a headache. Oh, he couldn't get peace for a moment when he sat in this position. He just attended the wedding and didn't even have time to have a tender time with his newlywed wife.

Chen Chusheng came in to help Tang Jian bandage his injured right hand and said, "President, Premier Yan Fuyan has just returned from handling state affairs. Now he is outside and says he wants to see you."

"Let him come in!" Tang Jian said.

After a while, Yan Fu walked in with a worried look on his face. After Tang Jian ordered someone to show Yan Fu the tea, he said, "Mr. Yan, please sit down. Look at Mr. Yan's worried look on his face. Have you encountered any trouble?"

Yan Fu took a sip of tea and said, "I just heard from General Nie that the President is about to carry out a Western Expedition?"

Tang Jian nodded, told Li Gates one by one, and also told the combat plan just now. Seeing that Yan Fu was still full of worry, Tang Jian asked, "What? Does Mr. Yan think there is something wrong?"

Yan Fu nodded and said, "Please forgive Yan Fu for saying frankly that the domestic army has just begun to settle, and it is time for rapid economic development and it is not suitable to move troops. If the president hadn't been calm and calm, I would even think that this battle was the president's intention."

Seeing that Yan Fu had misunderstood him, Yan Fu might think that Tang Jian's expedition was all for Li Gates. Although Li Gates was as close as a brother to him, he was angry when Li Gates was injured, Tang Jian made this decision carefully. Even if Li Gates didn't have any trouble, Tang Jian would announce this matter at the end of the year. The pace of the expedition that Li Gates accelerated was also considered to avenge Li Gates, and it was not Tang Jian's intention to act.

Tang Jian explained: "Mr. Yan, this Western Expedition is something I have considered repeatedly, not an act of impulse."

Yan Fu looked at Tang Jian with a questioning face, hoping that Tang Jian could give him a reasonable explanation.

Tang Jian said: "**, Xinjiang, Northeast my country, Outer Mongolia are all our territory and the border areas of our country. The border wars are everywhere, how can the country develop in stability? If you just let it go, the disaster will continue to accumulate, and sooner or later it will threaten the Chinese regime!"

Yan Fu said urgently: "But, President, have you ever considered our opponent this time, one is the most powerful power in Europe - Britain, and the other is Russia, which is relatively weak among the powers. Although Russia is very weak among the powers, it is indeed a strong enemy compared to China!"

"Russia?" Tang Jian laughed, "It seems strong, but in fact it is indeed strong on the outside but the middle. Russia's Pacific Fleet has basically lost all its elite troops on the Yellow Sea, and it has not formed much threat. In addition, the 50,000 elite infantry cavalry he transferred from the Northeast to Jingzhou was also completely wiped out by our army. At this time, Russia's power in the Far East is no longer as good as before. Moreover, Russian Emperor Nicholas II was tyrannical and stupid. There has been a lot of public grievances in the country, and a domestic revolution may break out at any time. Why not seize such a great opportunity with internal and external troubles and completely expel Russian forces in the Northeast?"

Tang Jian's rule was to take advantage of your silence. When Nicholas II ascended the throne, it was a period of turmoil in Russia. From the end of the 19th century, the Russian industrial system centered on heavy industry was improved, and an insurmountable contradiction arose between the capitalist economy and the corrupt and backward Russian state system. The gap between the rich and the poor in Russia widened, a large number of peasants went bankrupt, and social contradictions intensified. Faced with these situations, Nicholas II not only did not think about reform, but instead continued to suppress internally and expand externally from the perspective of maintaining his rule.

In the previous Russian-Japanese War and Sino-Russian War, Russia was defeated again and again, and its military power in the Far East had been greatly weakened. However, Nicholas II did not want to rest and recuperate, but instead devoted all his national strength to repeatedly levy tens of thousands of poor peasants and hard labor to build the Siberian Railway, resulting in a surge in domestic miserable taxes and the Russian people were indescribable.

In history, Russia broke out in January 1905, accelerating the demise of the Tsar**.

At this time, Russia is like a huge bucket. As long as a little Mars is thrown down, an unprecedented civil strife will surely break out in Russia. Therefore, if Tang Jian uses some means to accelerate the outbreak of domestic conflicts in the Russian army, then isn’t this the best time for Tang Jian to recover the Northeast?

Yan Fu looked at Tang Jian in surprise, as if he was looking at someone he didn't know. Yan Fu asked in surprise: "President, since the beginning of the civil war, I have basically been inseparable from you. I have never heard you say that you have been to Russia before, but at this time, it seems that the president is very familiar with the situation inside Russia! It seems that he has been to Russia in person."

Tang Jian was slightly stunned and thought to himself, I can't say that I have seen all of these from historical data, Tang Jian said, "These are summarized from various intelligences sent back by the CIA, and I think it's not wrong."

Yan Fu often knows about this and still has some understanding of the national conditions in Russia. Now it seems that Tang Jian knows more profoundly than him. It is indeed a good time to take back the Northeast!

Yan Fu smiled and said, "It was Yan Fu who was afraid of his hands. According to the commander, it was indeed a great opportunity to take back Northeast China and Outer Mongolia and clean up the separatists in Xinjiang. I am ashamed, ashamed!"

Tang Jian laughed in his heart, Yan Fu is indeed worthy of being his think tank, and he can understand it at all.

"However, I still have something unknown." Yan Fu asked.

"Mr. Yan said it's okay." Tang Jian replied.

"According to the president's analysis, it is only a matter of time to defeat Russia, but the battle in Tibet is facing the British, and Britain is the overlord of the great powers. Isn't this battle in Tibet declared war with Britain indirectly? If our two countries fight, the chances of victory are not great. By then, the new Chinese regime may be overturned at any time!" Yan Fu said worriedly.

Tang Jian smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Yan, do you know which country the biggest enemy of the British is now?"

Yan Fu replied without hesitation: "Of course, Germany, a new European powerhouse!"

Tang Jian asked again: "If we fight with Britain, who do you think is the biggest profiter?"

Yan Fu pondered for a moment and replied: "Nature is still Germany!"

Tang Jian smiled and said, "That's right. Do you think the British will do the battle between snipe and clam? Mr. Yan should not forget that China now has the strongest Pacific troops in Asia. Although it is still a certain distance from the navy of European powers, the British Far East Fleet must eat the Chinese Pacific Fleet before attacking China's mainland. However, no matter how good his teeth are, if it encounters our hard bones, it will cause a few teeth to break down!"

Yan Fu nodded thoughtfully and looked at Tang Jian with a vague understanding.

Tang Jian continued to explain: "Now there are more than 200,000 permanent troops in China. With the reserve military service, there are 300,000 people on the land of China. Although Britain claims to be the empire of the sun never set, its army in the Far East is less than 100,000. Even if he defeated us with advanced weapons and equipment, it would still be a tragic victory. After the consumption of this battle, the British military power in the Far East will plummet. That is not a cheap Germany. The Germans tried every means to replace the British's position in the Far East. So, even if we go to Tibet to fight, do you think Britain will declare war on us rashly?"

Yan Fu sighed and said, "The President's observation of the international situation is subtle, and he clearly sees the balance of power between countries. No wonder the president decided to fight westward with such a fearless decision. It turns out that the President had already decided that the British did not dare to declare war on China, for fear of being cheaper for the Germans. Yan Fu sighed without saying goodbye!"

Tang Jian shook his head and said, "Mr. Yan doesn't need to sigh. In fact, Mr. Yan is also cautious. After all, now that the Chinese regime is newly established, everything is like walking on thin ice, and be cautious everywhere, otherwise our years of hard work will be ruined."

Yan Fu's doubts were resolved and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Yan Fu was about to leave, suddenly, Chen Chusheng ran in excitedly with a telegram: "President, President, there is a telegram in Fuzhou!"

"Fuzhou's telegram?" Tang Jian asked while unfolding the telegram and saw that it said: The plane has been completed, Yan Qing.

"That's great!" Tang Jian shouted excitedly.

"What good thing is the president so happy?" Yan Fu asked when he saw Tang Jian's excited look.

Tang Jian blinked at Yan Fu and said mysteriously: "A new fun thing has been released in Fuzhou. Should I go and have a look together?"
