At the beginning of June, Feng Delin's 28th Division, which was stationed in the North Town, also frequently mobilized troops. The distance between Fengtian and the North Town was not far. If a war broke out, it would probably take less than a day for both sides to reach the other party's nest.
However, they still had some feelings for each other. There was an unwritten rule these days. Even if the warlords really fought each other, the defeated side would have a dignified ending. It was impossible to kill them directly.
The development of Fengtian Province could not go according to Zhang Yuting and Zhang Hanze's plan. Just like the Kanto region occupied by the Japanese devils, as well as the large areas along the Nanman railway and the Anfeng railway, there were Japanese troops stationed there.
There was even an infantry squadron stationed at the railway station northwest of Fengtian City. There were more than a hundred people there. There were also a large number of Japanese immigrants in Fengtian City. There were even specialized Japanese restaurants and schools, but most of them were concentrated in the area near the railway station.
..........................................................................................................................
In fact, Zhang Yuting was very clear about the Japanese's infiltration into all walks of life in the northeast. However, he had no choice. After all, they were a superpower with a sound industrial system. With the strength of his current army, even if he developed for another ten or twenty years, he would not be able to defeat them.
When the Japanese and the Russians fought, he had seen it with his own eyes. When the infantrymen charged, they formed into three-to-three formations, and all kinds of charging formations intersected. If it was the Feng army, they would probably be able to fight a ten-to-one loss ratio.
Right now, he still needed to coax and deceive the Japanese devils to get more economic loans from them.
"Motherf * cker, what kind of military exercise is this Japanese devil doing again?!”
In the office, Zhang Yuting was also looking at the latest information with a furious expression. His gaze was as if he wanted to eat someone up. Damn it, northwest of Fengtian City was Huanggutun Train Station. From afar, he could hear the gunshots.
"Yuting, that place is a territory under the treaty, so we can't touch it. If there's really a conflict, the Japanese will use this as an excuse to attack. With just our 27th Division, we can only be suppressed!!”
Zhang Zuoxiang was currently the commander of the 27th Division, and he had the best relationship with Zhang Yuting, so his words carried a lot of weight. Naturally, even Old Yuan's Northern Army did not dare to confront the Japanese.
"Damn it, the collapsed land can actually tolerate the devils doing such a thing!!”
"Yuting, aren't we the newly formed 1st Mixed Brigade? Otherwise, he would drag them to the train station and face the Japanese in a military exercise!!”
A few hot-tempered officers couldn't stand this anger either. The Japanese were really going too far in the northeast.
Zhang Yuting also thought of Zhang Hanze. His son told him to endure. He had to think long and hard to deal with the little Japanese. Fengtian was still a little far away.
Now, when his father was doing things, he could not help but think of his son. It seemed that many of his words were the right decisions.
For example, he could gather the sons of the generals from all the major factions and hire a famous teacher to nurture these children. A tiger would not eat its children.
For example, Feng Delin's son, Feng Yong, was currently studying in Fengtian City. Although Feng Delin had done so many things, he did not dare to really touch Fengtian City.
At this moment, a young messenger also knocked on the door anxiously. This telegram came from the capital, and it directly requested that Marshal Zhang had to decode it personally!!
Naturally, the communicator did not dare to be negligent.
"Marshal! Beijing's urgent message, you need to decipher it yourself!!”
Zhang Yuting, who had a serious expression on his face, also stood up immediately.?
Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin, Zhang Jinghui, and Wu Junsheng looked at each other. Zhang Yuting had to decipher it himself…
Zhang Yuting immediately took out his password book. Telegrams came and went with different passwords. Zhang Yuting entered the room for a few minutes.
Soon, the newly appointed Fengtian Provincial Military Governor came out with a flustered expression. No one would be able to sit still when they heard this news. Zhang Yuting did not know how to describe his feelings. The capital was about to change.。
"Yuting, what happened?"
"That's right, Yuting. What exactly happened??”
"Could it be that the capital has appointed Feng Delin as the overseer again??”
Zhang Yuting shook his head and his gaze became more and more serious. It seemed that he had to make a trip to the capital personally. Otherwise, his relationship with the capital would inevitably be strained in the future.
With the death of Yuan Shikai, the new president would have to like Zhang Yuting.
"Last night, President Yuan died of illness.”
As soon as Zhang Yuting finished speaking, the rest of the generals were dumbfounded. This was really earth-shattering news.。
When the news reached Yingkou, Zhang Han did not seem so surprised. It seemed that the development of history was not wrong.
No matter who was in charge of the capital in the future, Fengtian had to be controlled by his father. Moreover, with Beiyang's strength, they could not threaten Fengtian from such a long distance. Most importantly, with Yuan Shikai's death, Beiyang was no longer a united country. Perhaps the revolutionary party in the south was ready to make a move.
Zhang Han's advice to his father was to not offend anyone before the candidate was confirmed. Fengtian was not a clown now. At least there was a province. Whether it was Duan Zhirui or Feng Dezhang who took over as the president, Zhang Yuting could not stop them.
As long as his father went to the capital to attend Yuan Shikai's funeral in peace and expressed his loyalty to the capital in the future, it would be enough. Fengtian only needed the affirmation of the capital.
It was getting hotter and hotter in the northeast in June, but the construction sites were bustling with activity. A few days later, Zhang Yuting returned from Beijing and confirmed Feng Dezhang's successor as the President, while Duan Zhirui was the successor of the cabinet. The two of them became the two core figures in Beijing. Zhang Yuting did not offend either of them. Instead, he pretended to be dumb in Beijing, just like how he treated Yuan Shikai. He pretended to be dumb and coaxed the people in Beijing.
Zhang Yuting's foundation in Fengtian City was becoming more and more stable.
On June 8th, with the news of Yuan Shikai's death, the major warlords in the north and south sent messages of condolences. After all, they had single-handedly created the Northern Army and, to a large extent, ensured the integrity of the Dragon Country's diplomacy with the foreign powers.
At the same time, the Sun Never Sets, Germanic, Gaul, Japanese, Yingjiang, Yidai, and Polar Bear were all generating electricity.
On the 15th of June, Zhang Yuting announced in Fengtian City that the 27th Division and the 1st Mixed Brigade would be replaced by a 2nd Mixed Brigade. The two newly formed mixed regiments would be led by Tang Yulin, the former brigade commander of the 53rd Brigade of the 27th Division. They would be stationed in the Rehe area of Jinzhou!
On the other side of Yingkou, Zhang Han had expanded the 1st Patrol Battalion into the 2nd Patrol Battalion, which was formed from the original city defense force.
The newly formed Second Patrol Battalion would be stationed at the port in the south. In the second half of 1916, Yingkou would complete the construction of its first small steel plant. The goal was to produce 50,000 tons of qualified steel per year, complete the production line of rifles, heavy machine guns, mortars, and ammunition, complete the construction of the power plant to supply the county, and complete the reconstruction of the main roads around the county.。
