Feng Ping only stayed in Yanjing for two days. On the night of July 28th, he took the train back to North Town.
Early the next morning, Feng Ping had already returned to his home in Northtown.
After a quick breakfast, Feng Ping and Feng Linge entered the study room to discuss countermeasures.
"Father, I don't know if this trip to Beijing was a success. The sudden appearance of Young Master Yuan has caused all our previous efforts to go to waste. What was certain was that this time, he had offended Young Master Yuan. He will definitely stop you from becoming the Fengtian Military Governor.”Feng Ping was speechless.
The appearance of Young Master Yuan was completely out of his expectations.
This also caused something that was originally in the bag to change.
Feng Linge nodded. He already knew what had happened through the letter that Feng Ping had sent back.
"Man plans, God disposes. No one expected such a thing to happen. However, offending Young Master Yuan was no big deal. He was just a hedonistic son who relied on his father. Without Big Head Yuan, he was like a pile of shit on the roadside. No one would even look at him.”Feng Linge said disdainfully.
Compared to them, who had started from scratch, they naturally looked down on a young master like Young Master Yuan.
Feng Ping nodded. Although he didn't want to offend Young Master Yuan, he had already offended him. Naturally, there was nothing to say.
It was just that Young Master Yuan's appetite was too big. If his appetite wasn't that big, Feng Ping wouldn't mind befriending him. However, ten million yuan was not a small sum. If it was used to expand the army, it could at least form three to four infantry divisions. Of course, this was referring to the 12,000 standard infantry division of the Chinese army, not the large-scale infantry division of Feng Ping.
"However, Father, there is no need to make a decision so early. Perhaps, there would be a turning point. At least Zhang Xiluan and Duan Xiangyan will speak up for us. In addition, Second Young Master Yuan might also put in a good word for us. "Other than that, the US has already made it clear that they will support us. Even if Young Master Yuan is against it, our chances of success are not small.”Feng Ping continued.
"Will the Americans support us?" Feng Linge was very happy. This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise!
"Yes, Father. I've already paid a visit to the US envoy in China. Over the years, the conflict between the Americans and the Japanese had grown bigger and bigger. The conflict between the two sides in the Pacific Ocean was becoming more and more obvious. In order to suppress the Japanese, the Americans were naturally eager to have a force in the northeast that opposed the Japanese. As long as we can control Fengtian and even the entire northeast. When that time comes, the Americans will strongly support us.”Feng Ping said with certainty.
"Haha, good, this is great!”Feng Linge was very happy.
Originally, he was extremely worried about going against the Japanese. In fact, he did not even have the confidence to do so.
However, if he could get the support of the Americans, everything would be different.
Although the US was far away from Japan, they were obviously stronger than Japan! With the support of the US, the Japanese wouldn't dare to openly attack them, right? Moreover, with the support of the Americans, they would become even stronger. At that time, it was only a matter of time before the father and son dominated the entire northeast!
"Father, I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst. "If Big Head Yuan appoints Zhang Yuting to take charge of Fengtian, then I'm afraid we only have one path left. " Or rather, if we win and Big Head Yuan appoints you to take charge of Fengtian, Zhang Yuting might also take the risk. Thus, this battle was inevitable. Once we start fighting, we have no other choice. We must defeat Zhang Yuting in the shortest time possible. Otherwise, if he delayed any further, there might be more variables.”Feng Ping's face was solemn.
If too much time passed, both the Beiyang government and the Dongying government might interfere.
Although the Feng father and son's army was able to defeat Zhang Yuting's army, the Feng family's army was not as powerful as Zhang Yuting's army. However, if they dragged on for too long and the Japanese sent out a large number of troops, they would still have a chance of failure.
"I've already given the order. The 28th Infantry Division, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of Liaoxi are ready for battle." Your temporary 1st division has already entered a state of combat readiness and is ready to fight at any time.”
"Yes, and secretly recruiting soldiers. Once a war broke out, they might need to replenish their supplies. Even if we win, we still need to further expand our troops to deal with possible threats.”Feng Ping said.
Feng Linge naturally agreed with this. As a warlord, he knew that no matter what, the strength in his hands was the most important. It was the foundation.
In mid-August, Yuan Datou finally gathered his trusted ministers to discuss the arrangements for the three northeastern provinces after Zhang Xiluan left office.
"Everyone, Brother Jin Bo (Zhang Xiluan's handwriting) has sent telegrams many times, requesting to resign from the position of Zhen An General. However, Brother Jin Bo has already made up his mind to leave, so I can't force him. Everyone, tell me, after Brother Jinbo leaves office, what should the northeast do?”Big Head Yuan looked at his trusted aides.
The current Big Head Yuan was getting more and more smug. In fact, a Grand President could no longer satisfy his appetite. Under his instructions, a group of lackeys had already taken action to build momentum for him to ascend the throne. It seemed that he would be able to become the emperor very soon. This made Big Head Yuan very satisfied.
"Xiang City, the northeast's geographical location is very important. The person in charge of the northeast must be careful.”The State Martial Official Xu Buwu said. He had once been the governor of the three eastern provinces, so he was quite familiar with the situation in the northeast.
"Humph! Those guys in the northeast were all holding their own. Wasn't the reason why General Zhen 'an asked to leave his post because he was ostracized by them?”Army Chief Wang Pinqing had a bad temper and looked down on the warlords in the northeast.
"They can ostracize the general. Even if we appoint a new general, I'm afraid we will still be ostracized by them!”Duan Zhiquan also expressed his opinion.
"Those guys are too outrageous. However, the country was in a difficult situation now, so it had to maintain stability. Therefore, it was better not to make a big deal out of it.”Big Head Yuan set the tone.
Big Head Yuan's thoughts were all on becoming the emperor. Naturally, he did not want to get into a conflict with the local forces in the northeast. If there was a conflict, it would not be beneficial for him to ascend the throne.
