In the middle of June, the northeast's military forces were rapidly advancing toward the Yalu River defense line. The gathering of the Feng army caused the atmosphere in the Yalu River area to be strange. Those who did not know better would think that the Feng army was about to attack the Korean Peninsula. This made everyone feel the pressure of war. The northeast's air force was constantly hovering in the sky. One after another, fighter planes were flying along the Yalu River. This was the airspace of the northeast, so the northeast's air force had the right to carry out missions here!
Andong City, the Fourth Legion's headquarters. Currently, Yang Yuting was in charge of the Fourth Legion's military affairs. However, Zhang Xue had clearly seen Yang Yuting's attribute panel. Yang Yuting was suitable for government affairs, but his military management ability was not outstanding. Therefore, when he was the Jiangsu Military Governor, he did not win a single battle!!
However, Yang Yuting's main task at the moment was to maintain the stability of the Yalu River. The military was mainly ordered by Zhang Xueze through telegrams!
"Yuting, do you think the current commander can lead the northeast?”
The one who spoke was Jiang Dengxuan. Two days ago, Zhang Xueze had appointed him as the deputy head of the Andong defense line. Together with Yang Yuting, they were fighting against the Japanese troops stationed on the Korean Peninsula. At the same time, Zhang Xueze had almost split the original 2nd division into two. Because Zhang Zongchang's 2nd division had collected too many scattered soldiers from the pass, they could even form their own army. However, Zhang Xueze wanted to use the strictest military law to reform these soldiers in the shortest time possible.
Yang Yuting had graduated from Japan's Army Sergeant University and had a natural affinity with Japan. However, it was also accompanied by fear of Japan. Yang Yuting knew deeply that Japan coveted the northeast. At the same time, if the northeast wanted to rise, it would definitely not be able to bypass Japan. However, the gap between the northeast and Japan was too big!!
However, Zhang Xueze's change allowed Yang Yuting to see a glimmer of possibility!!
"I think it might be more suitable than the old marshal!!”
Yang Yuting smiled and said. Jiang Dengxuan knew that the most trusted advisor of the old marshal had no choice but to stand on Zhang Xueze's side. The more outstanding a person was, the more arrogant he would be. Yang Yuting was such a person, especially in the economic development and industrial development of the northeast. Many aspects were under Yang Yuting's charge. Therefore, it was no wonder that Zhang Zuolin valued him so much!
Yang Yuting took out another secret document that had just arrived from Liaodong. There was a huge amount of information inside!
"The map that Feng Yong sent over along the Yalu River in the direction of North Korea was drawn by the Air Force. There are no Japanese troops found!!”
"It seems that the Japanese really don't want to start a war with the northeast, just as the young marshal said!!”
Yang Yuting and Jiang Dengxuan also discussed the upcoming garrison matters in the following period of time. From the training of the garrison troops to the information reconnaissance on the Korean Peninsula, they quickly carried out after receiving Zhang Xueze's orders.
At the same time, the northeastern side was also constantly sending out signals to seek diplomatic negotiations with Japan. Zhang Xueze's cunningness was precisely here. On one hand, he was heavily guarding the Yalu River, while on the other hand, he was seeking to negotiate with the Japanese. He believed that the Japanese would take the bait. With Japan's domestic economic situation not good, even a fool would know which of these two choices to choose. The diplomatic negotiations between the northeastern side and Japan were imperative. Fengtian and Jingdou had already had many conversations in the telegram!
In Fengtian, Zhang Xueze had just received another telegram from Japan. This time, Zhang Zuolin had completely delegated his authority and given Zhang Xueze the highest authority. Whether it was military, politics, or external negotiations, Zhang Xueze was fully in charge. The old-fashioned people had also not said anything for so many days. Even Zhang Zuolin had become an idle Northeastern King, so what else could they do? However, Zhang Xueze was now in control of the Northeastern army. These troops naturally obeyed the orders of their successor, Zhang Xueze…
Zhang Xueze had transferred more than 20,000 people from Zhang Zongchang's Second Legion over the past few days to form the first infantry division in the northeast. On the one hand, it was to maintain the political situation in Fengtian, and on the other hand, it was to weaken Zhang Zongchang's military strength. Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang were different. These two were warlords who came from outside the pass. Compared to Zhang Zuoxiang, Wu Junsheng, Tang Yulin, and the others, their sense of belonging to the Feng faction was much weaker. Therefore, Zhang Xueze also absorbed a large number of soldiers from these armies. At least, they were much better than the commoners. At least, the soldiers didn't need to be taught how to shoot or how to use the simplest infantry tactics…
As for Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Xueze had accused them of groundless crimes and they were still in military custody. They might not be released for the rest of their lives. Perhaps in ten or twenty years, when the world was at peace, Zhang Xueze would release them…
"Liu Zi, do you really want to negotiate with the Japanese?”
Zhang Zuolin's gaze was a little cautious. The Japanese were cunning and cunning. If they were to suffer a loss in negotiations with them, the plan that the Northeast had spent so much effort on would be ruined!!
"Father, the Japanese are not as strong as we thought. Just like the Kwantung Army, weren't they all annihilated by us?”
Before they obtained Zhang Xueze's three northeastern provinces, the Japanese were far from as powerful as they were when they launched the July 7 Incident. Most importantly, they should not think that the current strength of the northeast was weak. After solving the problem of the leadership ability of the officers, the Fengjun and the Japanese could still fight them on the battlefield!!
Zhang Xueze spoke confidently. After wiping out the Kwantung Army, the so-called legendary army of the Japanese army was nothing in Zhang Xueze's eyes. Under the bombardment of planes and cannons, the Japanese would only die…
"What if the Japanese navy blocks our northeast coastal area?”
Zhang Zuolin was still worried. With the Northeast's current navy, it would be like hitting a rock with an egg. Although the Northeast had the most powerful navy in the country, everyone knew that the navy's weight and warships were all old models. Compared to the Combined Fleet…
"Father, don't think about the coastal areas in the northeast. There are no coastal cities in the northeast at the moment. There's only a well-developed Dalian in the northeast that's still in the hands of the Japanese. The other places are even more untouchable. Moreover, with the naval cannons, it's quite unrealistic to attack densely populated areas on land. The Japanese can block our sea exit, but they definitely can't bomb the coastal areas. As for the Japanese aircraft carriers, Our Northeast Air Force is not for nothing!!”
"Negotiations. We will officially negotiate with the Japanese representative tomorrow!!”
