During the remaining time in April, it is not easy for China. Whether it is the three northeastern provinces or South Asia, the progress of the battlefield suddenly becomes rushing, and the overall situation is getting faster and faster.*(*)

The four divisions of the National Defense Forces marched to the front line day and night, intending to launch a counterattack before the British and Japanese coalition forces expanded their power; the First Route Army of the Three East Provinces even took into account multiple defense lines, and even dispersed their forces to block the British army in the Lichangshan Strait. Because the situation in the three East Provinces was tense, they did not dare to take it lightly to touch the battlefield in South Asia. All combat troops in Dewudun and Myanmar received urging orders from the theater command, requiring them to defeat the enemy as soon as possible and break into the hinterland of South Asia.

The rapid pace of the Chinese and Japanese forces naturally caused the British and Japanese forces to slow down. As the landing troops arrived in Lichang Mountain continuously, the French army was moving northwards more and more fiercely. The British and Japanese forces' attack on the Pulandian defense line also became more and more intense. The two troops could advance forward almost five miles to the front line every day, and they were about to break the Pulandian defense line and completely defeat the First Route Army of the three eastern provinces.

Relatively speaking, the situation is obviously much more eased in the ongoing Battle of Chuncheon and Kaesong in central North Korea.

Although the five Japanese divisions and one British army division were always trying to break through the defense line, the main forces of the Chinese ** team gathered here, with good heavy artillery and air force support. Even if there was not much time to build a solid position before the war, they could still defend the front with three-dimensional firepower.

On April 29, a telegram sent from Gansu was sent to the desk of the head of state's office.

After four months of organizational rectification, personnel replacement and material mobilization, the Second Northern Army finally officially completed all preparations before the battle nine days ago. Not only that, Wei Rucon, commander-in-chief of the Army, led the officers of the General Staff of the Command, to mobilize various intelligence resources, and spend a full three months to finally formulate a series of detailed combat plans for the recovery of Outer Mongolia and the dispatch of troops to Novosibirsk.

Today, the telegram sent to the Kunming Head of State camp was Wei Rucong requesting the head of state to authorize the war.

If it were in the past, Wu Shaoting would have issued an order immediately to approve Wei Rucon to send troops outside the border. After all, according to the deployment of the "Asian Strategy", China will sooner or later open up three major battlefields to accelerate its integration into the pattern of the world war, and at the same time, it will have a more direct trauma camp of the Allied Powers. Once it acts as planned, it will not take long for countries around the world to shift their attention from Europe to Asia, because the scale of war made by China has exceeded that of Europe's main battlefield.

However, after reading this telegram, Wu Shaoting was hesitant for a moment, and then he immediately convened the National Political Consultative Conference to hold a National Political Consultative Conference. Although it was a National Political Consultative Conference in name, he had only one purpose, that is, to let the officials accompanying the Presidential Office check the fiscal budget, compare the current proportion of war expenses and the national finances, and speculate whether there is any excess financial resources to support the Northern Second Army in the war.

As the head of state, Wu Shaoting was very clear about the current situation of the Republic of China. He must not be complacent just because he gained certain advantages on the battlefield. The agricultural countries that had been around for thousands of years were still very poor. Even though they had received funding from Germany before, the British suddenly made a move in the three eastern provinces, and originally used to pay the military expenses of the Second Northern Army to fight, so they could only temporarily invest in the three divisions of the National Defense Forces.

This war not only left Japan heavily in debt, but China's international debt was also not good-looking. If you want to completely move towards a world power, you can only wait until the war is over before taking big steps.

The National Political Council took place from morning to evening, and took many breaks during the period, mainly to get in touch with Nanjing and compare the information data of the Nanjing Ministry of Finance. At 8 o'clock in the evening, the staff of the Presidential Office finally gave the preliminary budget result, that is, the Second Northern Army did not have enough funds to fight according to the original plan.

Considering the total strength of the four divisions of the National Defense Forces is about 90,000 people, and the scale of the French Legion's attack, the military budget that was previously given to the Second Northern Army must be spent on three-quarters. If the National Defense Forces and the French Legion are in a tug-of-war, the military expenditure will gradually rise. As long as the combat time exceeds more than half a year, the finances will immediately fall into a deficit.

Wu Shaoting felt more or less unwilling to accept it. After the meeting, he did not rest. He notified the officers of the Ministry of Defense of the National Defense to hold a military meeting overnight to discuss the possibility of the Second Northern Army going to war.

After three hours of argumentation and calculation, the General Office of the Ministry of Defense of the State Council came to the results that perhaps the Second Northern Army of the North could recover Outer Mongolia within the budget, and as for the dispatch of troops from Novosibirsk, it could be considered for a long time. Everyone present knew that the Second Northern Army of the North had been reserved for strategic materials since a year ago. Since Wei Rucon mentioned in the telegram that the strategic materials were ready, this means that there is a batch of ready-made materials that can support the Second Northern Army of the North to launch and dispatch.

According to the preparation practice before the Chinese team went to battle, the first batch of combat supplies could last for about three months. Of course, this depends on the scale of the battle.

However, the officers of the Ministry of Defense of the National Defense analyzed that the rebels in Outer Mongolia were relatively not strong, and they were far inferior to the regular army of the Second North Army, both in terms of weapons and equipment and personnel quality. Therefore, the intensity of the war should not be too fierce, thereby greatly controlling the consumption of materials.

As for sending troops to Novosibirsk, this is something that cannot be achieved without new financial aid.

Not only because the roads in Tsarist Russia are long and the logistics must bear huge pressure, but more importantly, Tsarist Russia is sparsely populated, and the Second North Army is easily trapped in traffic difficulties when it penetrates into other countries. If you want to attack Tsarist Russia, you must be prepared for a long-term battle, and the "lasting" here is very likely to exceed the time spent in the Korean War.

After listening to this report, Wu Shaoting pondered for a moment, and then immediately gave instructions. He ordered the Ministry of Defense of the State Council to negotiate with Germany as soon as possible, try to obtain more funding from Germany, and at least get a loan. The Second Northern Army of the North followed the original plan and recovered Outer Mongolia first, and then made the next plan based on the actual situation.

It is undeniable that he still hopes that the Second North Army of the North can reach Tsarist Russia. On the one hand, it can represent the Allies to attack the Allies and allow the Allies to stabilize the advantages of this world war; on the other hand, it hopes to use the opening of three battlefields to increase the influence of the Republic of China in the world's powers. China has the ability to participate in the world war, and expand the scale of the war in this way, which is enough to make the countries around the world admire each other.
