Chapter 129 Imperialist Diplomacy (11)
In April, the birds and grass grow. Even in the northern desert, the tender green grass leaves also emerge from the ground, dyeing part of the land into a vibrant tender green.
The cavalry troops of the Northeast Army did not trample on the grassland, but chose to pass through the sand and gravel areas as much as possible. Many cavalry arrived in Outer Mongolia for the first time. In the imagination of officers and soldiers, Mongolia was a large area of grassland. However, the reality was not the case. Compared with the grassland, the bare desert was the appearance of most areas of Outer Mongolia.
I did go a little far away after passing these lands, but I avoided a lot of mud.
The large army marched not by a long snake formation, but by battalions and companies. The cavalry liaison between various troops and the radio communications owned by each regiment headquarters kept the entire army at a very stable distance.
We set out from Heilongjiang, and we arrived at our destination in just three days. The capital of Outer Mongolia is only one million. The capital feels more like a town, and it can’t even be called a county town. Moreover, there are yurts everywhere here, and there are not even a city wall.
As soon as the cavalry arrived, no Mongolian cavalry even came to fight. Just a small group of cavalry came forward to ask, and when they learned that it was Zheng Silang, they immediately replied: "It turned out that General Zheng was here in the telegram. Please invite me, please."
The Chief of Staff was a little anxious and hurriedly grabbed Zheng Silang who was preparing to go. When he set off this time, he made many plans, including Zheng Silang who led the guards to the arrangement where Outer Mongolia Prime Minister Badmadorji was.
Zheng Silang looked at the anxious look of the Chief of Staff and smiled: "Send a telegram to the Military Commission immediately to explain the matter."
Then the Chief of Staff felt relieved. Not long after, the telegram was sent to He Rui. The three radios that were in contact with Zheng Silang's troops were on 24 hours a day, and the information was transmitted at all times. After reading the telegram, He Rui ordered: "Agree."
Chief of Staff Hu Xiushan, who made the plan, asked: "Chairman, Outer Mongolia's reaction is too weak."
"No matter how bad the princes in Outer Mongolia are, they have seen machine guns and cannons. Do you think the princes in Outer Mongolia have a chance to take Silang as hostages? Or do they think that if they take Silang as hostages, we can force us to withdraw?"
Hu Xiushan thought for a while before nodding slightly, "Chairman, maybe I underestimated the vision of the Mongolian princes and felt that they might not have the ability to understand the current affairs."
"You are right. Once Russia's strength recovers, these princes will show another face. What we need to do is to seize this time and increase the economic cycle with Outer Mongolia as soon as possible."
The radio waves crossed the distance between Fengtian and Zheng Silang at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second. Seeing the result of the password communication, the chief of staff sighed: "Commander, you must be careful."
Zheng Silang replied relaxedly: "You must be careful. Whether those Mongolians dare to act rashly depends on whether our military appearance is purged and majestic. If the Mongolian prince feels that we are vulnerable, they will definitely take action. It's all outside that you are looking at you."
After saying that, Zheng Silang wore a gray military uniform in the wilderness and brought two guards straight into the Mongolian Prime Minister's place. It was a huge yurt, and two rows of gorgeously dressed heads stood outside the door.
Walking through two rows of Mongolian head passages, Zheng Silang asked in Mongolian as soon as he entered the yurt: "Who is Prince Badmadorji?"
The man was stunned and quickly stood up, walked to Zheng Silang with his wing legs. He saw that the man was short and his face showed a common skin in Mongolia.
"General Zheng..." Speaking of this, Outer Mongolia Prime Minister Badmadorji looked surprised, "Have we seen it?"
After hearing what the other party said, Zheng Silang smiled at this moment and said in Mongolian: "My father is an escort from the escort agency. When he was young, he met the prince with his father."
Badmadorji nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "It turns out that he is a descendant of Zheng's mate, and he looks exactly the same as Zheng's mate."
Zheng Silang smiled slightly, regardless of whether what the Mongolian Prime Minister Badmadorji said was true or not. After all, this guy has seen so many people, how could he remember so clearly? Moreover, Mongolia is talking about strength, not favors. He smiled and said, "Do you know that our Northeast Army regained the Middle East Road?"
Badmadorji knew that Zheng Silang was talking about the strength of the Northeast Army. Faced with such a threat, he smiled, "I heard that Marshal He captured tens of thousands of Russians, but Russia did not dare to say anything. It is really a pleasure to be honest! We Mongolia respect heroes the most. When we talk about this, we praise Marshal He as a hero."
Zheng Silang immediately took a step forward, "Since that's the case, why don't the prince go out with me to see what the great hero's cavalry, Mr. He, look like?"
Prince Badmadorji, Prime Minister of Outer Mongolia, knew what style the troops sent by He Rui this time. Before He Rui marched, he sent cavalry to send orders from President Feng Guozhang of the Republic of China and Prime Minister Duan Qirui of the Republic of China. The content of the orders were the same, informing Outer Mongolia that due to the end of the Russian Tsarist government, the China-Russia Statement signed by the Republic of China and Tsarist Russia was invalidated and the autonomy of Outer Mongolia was abolished, and the military and political affairs of Outer Mongolia were abolished.
There were also many young men in the Mongolian tribe. When they learned that He Rui was coming, they shouted to raid the troops under He Rui. However, until now, young men have indeed gone out, but no battle has occurred.
According to various news, the troops led by Zheng Silang were all well organized, especially the interval between the troops was very reasonable. No matter which unit attacked, they would fall into clamp attack. Moreover, those troops carried artillery, and when they saw the Mongolian cavalry approaching, they would be bombarded.
The purpose of those shelling was not to kill people, but to demonstrate. Dozens of shells rushed over quickly, and the stones flew around. The young men knew that they could not hit the stone with their heads.
The reason why Outer Mongolia Prime Minister Badmadorji chose to stay in the capital and wait for Zheng Silang is based on Mongolian tradition. Once he leads people away, don’t expect to suppress other tribes in the future. There is never a shortage of people in the Mongolian tribe who cooperate with the strong.
So Badmadorji laughed: "Since that's the case, let me see what kind of military appearance the army that defeated the Russians was."
Two hours later, the fierce sound of gunfire finally stopped. The pungent smell of gunpowder filled the wind and flowed by the head figures in Outer Mongolia watching the exercise. Outer Mongolia Prime Minister Badmadorji could no longer laugh, but just looked at the venue where the exercise ended.
Zheng Silang did not stop and ordered people to take more than a dozen sabers. These sabers were all sabers that were set up in the European battle formation. The Northeast Army brought a table and placed piles of copper coins on the table. Zheng Silang pulled out a saber and chopped it away casually. The saber directly cut the stack of copper coins in half. The knife did not weaken, and directly cut off the table plate of the marching table. The other copper coins were just shocked and jumped vertically, but did not fall down.
This hand-knife technique attracted many Mongolian tribe leaders to cheer, and everyone was aware of the goods. When this skill was used to cut against the cavalry, Zheng Silang could already be called a rare enemy.
Zheng Silang smiled slightly, changed to another saber, and then slashed it down again, which looked the same. After the piles of copper coins were cut off. Zheng Silang smiled at the heads of the Mongolian tribe, saying, "Our army sabers have the same quality, so I will give them to you as a gift for you."
After the heads took over the sabre with a complicated expression, Zheng Silang smiled at the Prime Minister of Outer Mongolia, Prince Badmadorji, and said, "I wonder what the prince thinks about Prime Minister He's military affairs in Outer Mongolia?"
During the exercise just now, Prince Badmadorji saw with his own eyes that the Northeast Army's cavalry and infantry exercises were far superior to the Mongolian cavalry. In particular, the Northeast Army actually fired at least 200 shells during the exercise, and the land on the shooting range seemed to have been overturned.
As for the bullets, I don’t know how many shots were fired, and the wooden targets that stood up were all beaten to pieces.
If these ammunition were used by the Mongols, it would be enough to fight more than a dozen internal battles. The exercise troops brought out more ammunition, which shows that the consumption of the exercise was nothing.
At this time, when Zheng Silang asked, Outer Mongolia Prime Minister Badmadorji made up his mind and replied readily: "Since the president has an order, we naturally have to obey it!"
Zheng Silang knew that the first time he had achieved his authority, so he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, we are a family again!"
The radio telegraph sent the latest news to Fengtian, and He Rui was not surprised. Because the troops led by Zheng Silang were only the vanguard, He Rui was ready to establish inner and outer Mongolia and five headquarters in the three northeastern provinces. Behind Zheng Silang, there was another division that was departing and was about to enter the Outer Mongolia area to start building the garrison. If the people in Outer Mongolia could not see the situation clearly, they would naturally be able to wipe them out.
At this time, He Rui was no longer in charge, and the commander of the Heilongjiang Military Region Xu Chengfeng was responsible for it. He Rui made another preparation. Ishihara Kaner and others, as members of the fourth group of Japanese officers who went to Europe to watch the battle, had returned. These guys had arrived in Kanto Prefecture at this time. Ishihara Kaner sent a telegram asking to come and see He Rui.
Over the past few years, He Rui and Ishihara Kanir have had a lot of communication, and they write seven or eight letters to each other every year. Some of He Rui's latest articles and some of the Northeast development reports will also be sent to the "Future Society" established by Ishihara Kanir in Japan.
Now that Japanese aspiring young people are visiting, He Rui is happy.
Calling the secretary, He Rui asked, "Is there a decent Japanese hotel in Shenyang?"
The secretary thought about it, but he couldn't remember it, so he could only say, "Chairman, I'll check it out."
"Okay, check it out. If there is, prepare to place an order and ask them to prepare Japanese food."
The secretary was quite meticulous in these work, "Chairman, what should I do if I don't have one?"
He Rui thought for a while, "If not, please contact Noguchi Noguchi left by Yasuki Mitsui and ask him to help find a solution."
The secretary continued to ask, "Chairman, do you have to treat it with Japanese cuisine? I think our Chinese cuisine is better than Japanese cuisine."
"I'll use Japanese cuisine. I told those young people that China and Japan should be kind. If you can't even eat Japanese cuisine in China, wouldn't it seem like you're a little empty talk?"
"This..." the secretary couldn't understand for a moment.
He Rui knew that many of the nationalist sentiments among his comrades are quite high now, so xenophobia is naturally derived from instinct. He Rui explained: "Is it the same thing that can eat Japanese food in China and the existence of foreign soldiers in Chinese territory?"
The secretary was stunned for a moment, and soon realized the difference between the two, so he put down his grudges and left according to He Rui's arrangement.
He Rui sighed in his heart. He also had years of strong nationalist sentiment. Even now, He Rui still has a strong patriotic idea. He Rui won't even blink his eyelids when he kills the invaders.
But He Rui would not hate other countries because of patriotism, because there was no logical relationship between the two. He Rui did not like Japanese cuisine, nor did he like mythological Japanese cuisine. So what he had to fight was to admire foreign countries or to be used by merchants to create a business god by using information.
