Tang Jian made this decision based on the specific situation of the Russian army in the Northeast. Although the Russian army has been entrenched in the three northeastern provinces for several years, its main military personnel and weapons supply are transported to the Northeast through the Siberian Railway.

At this time, Siberia was still a barren land and was not fully developed by Russia. Apart from a railway, the Russian army in the northeast and the Russian army in Europe were not closely connected.

Due to climate in winter, the Siberian Railway is often in a state of suspension. At this time, the Russian army in the Northeast has sharply reduced supply and has a hard time. Therefore, the Russian army in the Northeast plunders ordinary people in the Northeast. In the eyes of the Russian army in the Northeast, there is no difference between the people in the Northeast and slaves.

Even in many cases, the Russian army in the Northeast vigorously arrested the soldiers in the three northeastern provinces and repaired railways that were destroyed due to climate reasons. Russia has changed the three northeastern provinces into Kanto Province, and plundered a large amount of resources from the three northeastern provinces every year and then transported them to Europe by railway.

Siberia is a lifeline of the Russian army in the Far East. As long as this lifeline is cut off, the Russian army in the Far East will lose supplies and become an isolated army hanging outside, and the resources from the Northeast will no longer be transported out.

A few months ago, Tang Jian sent a middle army led by Duan Qirui all the way north and entered Inner Mongolia last month. According to Duan Qirui's recent call, his 40,000 army had reached Ulaanbaatar, Outer Mongolia at this time, and would enter Siberia soon and cut off the Siberian railway.

Cao Kun's 60,000-distance army had already been assembled at Shanhaiguan. With the order of Tang Jian, he could immediately march into the Northeast. Now the only one who poses a slight threat to China is the Russian Pacific Fleet that is hiding in Vladivostok Port.

The first step to recovering the Northeast is to annihilate the Russian Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok.

Tang Jian said: "Aden, I will leave Fuzhou to you and Ouyang Yanqing. I will go back to Wuhan tomorrow morning and march into the Northeast soon."

"Yeah!" Tian Aden nodded heavily and said, "Captain, don't worry!"

"So should I send the Fearless to the north this time? After all, the Fearless has not experienced a practical battle. It will take some time for the officers and soldiers on the ship to fight the Fearless. This battle against Russia is just an opportunity." Tian Aden asked.

Tang Jian shook his head: "This is not necessary. The Russian Pacific Fleet today does not even have a decent battleship. Although not long ago, Russia dispatched a battleship from the European Baltic Fleet to defend Vladivostok, its strength is less than half of its heyday. The Yellow Sea Fleet's strength is enough. However, it is safer to transfer the submarine force to the north. If the Fearless, it will be temporarily included in the battle sequence of the East China Sea Fleet. With the Fearless, it is believed that other powers will be a little more afraid and will not do it in the south as before."

After Tang Jian finished speaking, he stayed in Fuzhou for a day, explained some related matters to the Fuzhou Shipyard, and then took Chen Chusheng back to Wuhan.

Four days later, after receiving the notice of holding an emergency military meeting, senior generals of the army gathered in the General Staff Conference Room of the Ministry of National Defense.

According to the distinction between the military branches, the Army and the Navy sat on both sides of the conference table. Army Marshal Nie Shicheng and Sun Wanling were located in the upper left head. Navy Marshal Piao Tianwenxue naturally lit the smoke, and then casually found a sofa to sit down.

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, this time I came to you, I still discussed it with you if I have something to do."

Yan Fu gave Tang Jian a blank look and said angrily: "Is our President Tang going to be the boss again? Are you ready to go to the Northeast to command the battle?"

Tang Jian laughed dryly, not denying it.

Yan Fu sighed and said, "I have been following the president for so long. Apart from sending troops into Tibet, there is no one that wasn't that the baggage from the rear was thrown to me."

Tang Jian rubbed his hands and said, "Mr. Yan, do you still remember the battle in Liaodong three years ago? I have always felt ashamed of my life. This time, I want to completely drive the Russians out of the Northeast, take back Lushun, and take back the three northeastern provinces!"

Yan Fu looked up and recalled: "Remember, how could he not remember! In the Battle of Wafangdian, the lone wolf lost all his losses, and Lushun broke through, the officers and soldiers of the mine-burning boats who touched the mines with their bodies, and the brothers of the Marine Corps who opened the encirclement of the Russian Pacific Fleet at the cost of their lives! Their voice, appearance, smiles and appearance are still vivid in their minds, and they cannot be forgotten and dare not forget! If it weren't for them, I'm afraid the Beiyang Fleet would not have escaped the fate of destruction, and I would have become the biggest sinner of the Beiyang Fleet."

Tang Jian was led back by Yan Fu's words to the battle of Liaodong. If it weren't for Liu Kunshan and the lonely wolf soldiers, Tang Jian wouldn't have stood here today.

Therefore, Tang Jian had to go north personally to avenge the dead brothers that year, and to let the Russians in the Northeast pay the price for the numerous crimes they had committed!

Yan Fu then said, "Haha, President, don't worry, you're just joking with you just now! Actually, I really want to go on the battle myself and avenge those dead soldiers!"

Tang Jian walked up, patted Yan Fu on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yan, you have worked hard all these years."

Yan Fu's eyes were slightly red and he said, "It's not hard. If the President hadn't invited me out of the mountain, maybe I was fishing in that small house in the mountain at this time, how could I realize my ideal of serving the country? I'm not too late to be grateful now, so how could I complain about the hard work?"

Tang Jian said solemnly: "No matter what, I still have to thank Mr. Yan!"

"Haha..." The two looked at each other and laughed.

………….

Vladivostok Port.

The Russian Governor-General and Commander of the Governor-General of Kanto Province and the Commander of the Pacific Navy, Alexeyev, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Far East Army, Kuropatkin, were frowning in the hall, as if they were upset about something. The coffee in front of them had turned cold, but they didn't even drink a sip.

"General Alexeyev, you are the uncle of His Majesty the Emperor. What do you say when you ask him for help to send troops?" Kulopatkin asked with a frown.

Alexeyev sighed and shook his head and said, "His Majesty the Emperor said that he has no soldiers to send."

"What should I do, what should I do!" Kulopatkin's voice trembled slightly.

Alexeyev said: "Ah, you are not unaware that the domestic situation is turbulent, and those greedy workers have set off strikes in Russia. His Majesty the Emperor was intimidated by the rapid development of the revolution and was forced to concession and sign the October 17 declaration, promising to convene the legislative State Duma (a conference of representatives, similar to parliament). Now His Majesty the Emperor mobilized a large number of troops from all over the country to Moscow, preparing to suppress those workers and disband the first Duma, where can he send extra troops to us!"

"The Chinese army has been preparing for several months. Intelligence shows that the Chinese army is preparing to take action this month. However, in the Far East, the Pacific Fleet was severely damaged and has not recovered so far. It is impossible to resist the Chinese Navy's Yellow Sea Fleet. If the Chinese army marched into Kanto Province on both water and land, how can we resist?" Kulopatkin said worriedly.

"Cunning British!" Alexeyev slapped the table angrily, and cold coffee splashed out and said, "I have agreed to send the Far East fleet to support Russia, but in the end it stopped in the East China Sea and retreated in shame before it was fired, leaving them a large area of ​​land in vain!"

"I heard that the British Far East Fleet and the Chinese Navy reached a secret agreement, so they retreated." Kulopatkin said.

"General Kulopatkin, no matter what, we will fight to the end this time!" A bunch of sparks burst out from Alexeyev's eyes.
Chapter completed!
