The fact was not as smooth as Colonel Madlitov expected. After he excitedly returned to Fengtian, the "cold" reality immediately knocked him down. Kuropatkin was still the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army, and the General Billy Gerlinger he expected was just the commander of the Second Army. It must have been Kuropatkin who had been active in St. Petersburg, and Colonel Madlitov thought so. But since he came to Fengtian, he could only see Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin first. Although Madlitov made up the lie--he was not captured by the Japanese army, but was lost in the mountains and forests by them, but was still scolded by Kuropatkin.

"College, I don't care where you have been during this period, but it turns out that you and your horse bandit troops are totally terrible. I am now skeptical of anything you say. As for the Chinese horse bandits you said now, I can't believe it. How could the horse bandits be well-trained? Colonel, are you scared by the war? Their best function is to protect the railways in our rear, and to provide intelligence. I will provide them with weapons, but we do not need infantry, only cavalry, and they must obey General Misichenko's command, otherwise everything will be free from talks." In the warm and luxurious room, Commander-in-Chief Kuropatkin's life was as exquisite as the combat plan he had formulated. He had just finished eating the steak made by his French chef and carefully wiped his mouth with a white napkin.

Under his reprimand, Madlidov had to be timid, and the meeting ended soon. He immediately ran to the Second Army Command to ask for a meeting with General Billy Gerlinger.

"Oh, dear Andre, thank God, you finally appeared. After I came here, everything was a mess, and that despicable coward would not let me do anything." General Billy Gerlinger affectionately called Madlitov's name and complained. According to the previous plan, he would accept Kuropargent's position, and then rely on Madlitov's understanding of the Far East to re-form the Russian military strategy, but this idea was not realized from top to bottom.

"Your Excellency, during the last battle, I was captured by horse bandits from the Far East. Fortunately, I was rescued by another pro-Russian horse bandits, so..." the colonel explained.

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the General, "Don't mention a battle with me. This despicable coward is afraid that I will come to take over his position and let him get out, so he launched this attack. He will only let the soldiers who are brave and loyal to His Majesty die. No intelligent commander will let the troops deviate from the left wing mountainous areas. According to Manchuria's transportation, this is impossible. He did it on purpose. Who knows that he was thinking about how his Majesty wrote it in the telegram submitted by His Majesty.

It must be a conspiracy, otherwise I would not be the commander of the Second Army, and this coward is also the commander-in-chief of the Army." When he said that the General of the Battle of Shahe was very angry and began to resent. When he calmed down, he said, "Dear Andre, God bless you with peace. We must fight back and kick this coward and conspirator from the position of commander-in-chief of the Army. We must win the victory of the entire war and drive the yellow monkeys into the sea."

Madlitov was overwhelmed by the emotional language of the general, so he had to say, "Yes. Your Excellency, we must drive him down, and then win this war to open up the Yellow Russia for His Majesty."

The two frustrated people finally reached an agreement in the general direction. General Billy Gerlinger immediately turned the subject, "Dear Andre, now I need a detailed reconnaissance on the left wing of the Japanese army, but I cannot command Misichenko's cavalry. He only listened to the orders of the coward. According to the current Japanese defense line, I suspect that his left wing is extremely weak. We must launch an attack and use a fierce right hook to completely disrupt the yellow-skinned monkey's front. For this reason, I need your help and need to understand the local situation. Can you help me? Dear Andrew."

"Yes, yourselves." said Madlitov. "I can help you reconnaissance the Japanese and also help you win the war. It's just that you need the help of the Chinese. Now there is a Chinese army, with close to a brigade, no, a whole division of troops. They helped us teach the Japanese a lesson before, and now they want to join us and hope to participate in frontal combat."

"Fight head-on, Chinese?" said the general, "What can those yellow-skinned monkeys do? He is not even as good as the Japanese. They will only continue to raid our logistics line under the command of the Japanese."

"No, Your Majesty's serfs are a very good source of soldiers. The difference between them and the Russian army is that they are not trained and commanded by excellent people. Now, these Chinese guys have been trained strictly, they are completely comparable to the regular army, and they are definitely much better than the Poles who came to the army." When the colonel said the Chinese, he couldn't help but think of that review. Although he thought that it was prepared by the king in advance, the momentum of their shouting was not something that ordinary scattered soldiers could possess. In order to fulfill his promise, he kept saying good things about the Chinese.

"The yellow race may be very good after training, but who will train them? Only the whites are noble and wise. Andre, we just need them to inquire about the Japanese info. At most, let them protect our logistics line and fight against the Chinese who were bought by the Japanese." It is obvious that the General is also a white supremacist, who believes that any yellow-skinned monkey is vulnerable.

"Your Excellency, they are completely trained by white men. I have seen it with my own eyes." The Colonel's efforts once again, "It was a German who trained them, a retired officer of the German Army, and his teacher was Marshal Gortz (Marrison of the Army).

"German? Marshal Goldz?" The general was surprised, "Really? Are you sure?"

"Yes, sir. I saw it with my own eyes." The colonel said with certainty.

General Billy Gerlinger was silent. In fact, he did not believe in any colored people at all. Before coming to the Far East, he said that he would represent the whole of Europe in addition to proving the strength of the Russian army, but also proving the strength of the whites. Although he was a Russian, General Billy Gerlinger himself was a German Russian. He believed that as far as the army was concerned, the whole world - the entire white world - only Germany and Russia were the best. Of course, this was only half said, and the half he did not say was that the best army could only be the German army in his opinion. He was very proud of his German bloodline. Now there was a German training those yellow-skinned monkeys, and this German was also a subordinate of Marshal Gortz. What was going on? Did the Germans also intervene in Manchuria? It seems that the promises of the German emperor and the Tsar were not like this.

After thinking for a long time, the general said, "Dear Andre, go and bring that German, if the situation is really like you said, I will allow them to join my troops and let them participate in the war."

"Yes. Your Excellency, as you wish." The Colonel said happily, then bowed and retreated.

More than ten days later, when the snow was heavy, Madlitov returned to Wengquanling. This time he was not as down-and-out as before. Instead, he wore a brand new Russian military coat and brought two companies with his troops. He came proudly with many armies. Yang Rui did not care about his behavior at all, but only asked Zhang Huanrong to greet him, and he followed the arms and official posts brought by the Colonel. As he thought before, the Maxim machine gun he asked for was useless, but the shotgun was given.

More than 2,000 were Russian-style rifles and many ammunitions. Yang Rui still didn't understand the real situation inside the Russian army. After the last time the Russian army suffered tens of thousands of casualties in Shahe, the Russian army's rifles were completely rich, and ammunition was also there. Only the Maxim machine gun was not purchased by the Russian army before the war, and many were seized during the Yalu River battle. Now there are only 66 left in the entire army, and these 66 machine guns were provided by Kuropatkin as treasures, and no one gave them.

"Mr. Colonel, you didn't bring a machine gun this time." Yang Rui was a little disappointed with the list of supplies.

"Oh. Dear King, don't worry, I brought more than two thousand shotguns (shotguns) you want, and there are many shells, which are no worse than machine guns." Madlitov defended, "The Commander's promise that only you have enough artillery, so when fighting head-on, you can give you a few more cannons so that you can have a whole artillery battalion."

Because of the need to participate in frontal combat, six of the eight Maxim machine guns were assigned to the Wengquanling troops, and three field cannons and six mountain cannons also made two field cannons and four mountain cannons. The previous shells were all fired during training, so the cannons without shells should be displayed. Even if these cannons will eventually be recycled by the Russian army or damaged in the war, at least the field cannons will be trained and no longer a decoration.

Without any more tangled with machine guns, Yang Rui asked, "Which team will we join?"

Seeing Yang Rui asking about the substantive matter, Madlitov looked embarrassed and said, "Dear King, things are not that simple. Many commanders do not believe in your combat effectiveness, so..." Seeing Yang Rui's face sinking, the colonel immediately said, "But don't worry, I told General Billy Gerlinger of the Second Army that he is very interested in your troops and hopes to communicate with your Chief of Staff General William."

"Second Army? He wants to see General William?" Yang Rui said in a slight sense. He finally remembered that the Second Army was on the right wing of the Russian army, that is, west of Fengtian.

"Yes. Yes. He is a big man and is deeply trusted by His Majesty the Tsar. As long as he can win some victory in the next battle, he will be the commander-in-chief of the Far East Army." In order not to disappoint Yang Rui, the colonel decisively increased General Billy Jerlinger's bargaining chips.

Leo went to the Russian Army Command earlier. After all, the Russian nobles were unwilling to meet a yellow man. "Okay, Mr. Colonel." Yang Rui said cheerfully, "I can ask General William to accompany you to Fengtian, but I hope you don't disappoint me."

"No, my dear king. Your Excellency General is about to launch an attack. He needs you to help him understand the situation of the Japanese opposite." said the colonel.

"Oh, attack? Attack on the right wing?" Yang Rui said. He couldn't help but think of the Battle of Heigou and Taiwan. Although the progress of the Russo-Japanese War was disturbed by him, the rhythm did not change, and it was just time delayed. According to history, the next battle will be the Russian army to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army. The direction of the attack is on the right wing, and the number of people is the entire Second Army, with a total of more than 100,000 people.

"Col. Are you talking about General Billy Jerlinger a little bit conflicted with Commander-in-Chief Kuro Patkin?" Yang Rui asked. He felt something from the conversation just now.

Although it was an internal affairs of the Russian army, Madlitov still based on his position, "Yes. Kuroparkint was a member of the former Minister of Finance Witt. The reason why he kept retreating was to make the Russian army lose the war and then attack the hardliners in the cabinet. All of this was their conspiracy."

Yang Rui was a little aware. He couldn't help but sigh at the luck of the Japanese. In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Qing Dynasty was about to weaken the Huai clique, and now he encountered conservatives in Russia to crack down on the hardliners. No wonder he could take the risk every time. It was fucking luck. He didn't say anything after hearing this, but just asked someone to come to Leo, and he wanted to discuss with him the details of sending troops and his requirements for Russia. Since he could go to the front battlefield, he had to seize the opportunity.

Like the previous time, Madlitov went back with him before he stayed for a long time. Leo also went to Fengtian with him. After Leo left, Yang Rui gathered all the officers at the platoon level and above for a meeting to mobilize before the war. It was already January now, and according to history, the Battle of Heigoutai will soon come. More than a hundred officers gathered in the military tent. In order to accommodate so many people, the general tent of the central army has been specially expanded a lot. In order to ensure the temperature, dozens of basins of charcoal fires were burned in the tent.

"At most two months, at the earliest one, we will soon join the frontal battlefield of Japan and Russia. This is the only way for the Fuxing Army to form an army. Soldiers who have never seen blood are not good soldiers, and those who have not experienced wars are not good soldiers. Japanese and Russian will eventually be our enemies. We must learn about war in war. We must fully understand the various situations of the Russian army and the Japanese army, and we must also regard them as imaginary enemies and constantly reform and strengthen our troops.

Since ancient times, the country's army has been divided into hawks and dogs. Should we be a dog who can guard the gate and only suppress domestic rebellion, or an eagle that soars in the sky to open up the territory of China? If we want to be a gatekeeper, then we have reached the standard now. The fresh and fresh Beiyang towns are not worth mentioning to us. But can we be satisfied with this? In my opinion, an army that is honored by civil war is a shame. Instead of being a dog guarding the family, I would rather die than be an eagle flying above the blue sky, and to constantly pursue the Huns and seal the wolf Juxu like the generals of the Han Dynasty..."

The meeting ended soon. Yang Rui's theory of hawks and dogs was very short, but it shocked all the officers of the army. Previously, the internal propaganda only regarded the Qing Dynasty as a great enemy. The officers discussed only how to defeat the Qing Dynasty and restore China. Today's speech made everyone turn their attention from the country to abroad. Eagles are always arrogant. If they want to become eagles, they must fly high like eagles to look down at the earth, which is not something that ordinary people can understand and imagine.

Of course, the only ones who were stimulated by Yang Rui were the non-commissioned officers. As an old man in the Northeast, Zheng Lanting, who came from Maoer Mountain, did not think so. He was just a newcomer and was unable to speak at the meeting. After returning to his residence, he drank with a few old brothers who came with him to relieve his boredom.

"Zhou Kuailu, what's going on with the boss? Do you really want to fight for Big Nose? I was so panicked and unhappy. Didn't I join the gang just to hit Big Nose and avenge my old brothers before? Who knows... Alas." Zheng Lanting finished speaking, and drank the wine in the bowl in one mouthful. After drinking, he felt dissatisfied. He smashed the bowl on the frozen ground with a "clang" and shouted to the orderly officer: "What kind of damn wine is your? Where is Erguotou? Why don't you make it up?"

Seeing that the company commander was angry, the orderly soldier didn't dare to say anything. When he saw him asking, he said in a low voice: "I have finished buying Erguotou last time. Now the wine in the army is in a fixed amount, so I can only buy these boiled pots."

The Northeast has a lot of resources, including soybeans, ginseng and other Zhongshui. Even this pot-frying pot was built at Yang Rui's suggestion, which was officially listed as Changbai Mountain. In private, all the old and young men called this wine Erguotou.

"Go! This is also a pot of boiling pot, mix it with water. It doesn't taste at all." Zheng Lanting knew that the wine in the army was controlled, but he was still not satisfied with the orderly soldiers. Although he joined the Fuxing Army and led the cavalry team to gallop between the last white mountains and black waters, the troops were very strict. The brothers who were dissatisfied wanted to cause trouble, but in the end they fought with the original cavalry company of the Fuxing Army. Faced with Western cavalry, they were completely defeated. Since then, many people couldn't raise their heads, and even if they lost their temper, they just said it privately.

Before Zheng Lanting finished speaking, Yang Rui's laughter came from outside: "Haha, how do you drink the wine you mixed with water? I have a few boxes of Erguotou, so everyone can stop drunk."
