"What a bastard!"

Zhang Zuolin just started to curse as soon as he entered the general's mansion. As soon as the maid brought the teacup over, before he could take a sip of tea, Zhang Zuolin slammed the teacup to the ground with a bang.

The general is very angry!

Anyone can see at this meeting that this general is really angry!

Who messed with the general?

"The surname is Xu!"

Thinking about how the man surnamed Xu had defused his "intimidation" with a few words at the National Socialist Party Headquarters, Zhang Zuolin felt a burst of fire in his heart.

Thinking of all this, Zhang Zuolin stood up with excitement, but he was angry in his heart:

'Mom, why should I give him the surname Xu? After so many years of trouble, I gave him the Jinzhou guy in the Northeast! I want to call him the surname Xu...'

Although he felt cruel in his heart, Zhang Zuolin knew clearly in his heart that the direct election of the Chief of Civil Affairs was ultimately a trick of the Prime Minister. Zhang Zuolin had never felt any gratitude to the Prime Minister, but to the President

, he was somewhat grateful, and since the State Council conducted the direct election of the Civil Affairs Minister, Zhang Zuolin was most sensitive to the fact that the Civil Affairs Minister, who had the power to appoint and remove officials, civil power and financial power, had become a figure that hindered him from taking power.

Therefore, Zhang Zuolin's first thought was to seize the opportunity and drive him out. But thinking about the State Council behind the Civil Affairs Minister, he still felt timid for no reason. He was always paying attention to the capital, and even the president started to fight.

The State Council, which also seems weak, supports the civil affairs ministers of each province. And the civil affairs ministers still hold...

Just when Zhang Zuolin was thinking about how to "fight" with Xu Xusheng, a car drove towards the General's Mansion from the train station outside Fengtian City. Sitting in the car, Zhang Yilin was thinking about Zhang Zuolin's

people.

Before coming to the Northeast, he had already learned about Zhang Zuolin through various materials. He was born as a bearded man, but in just a few years, from Zhaoan to Fengtian King, how could this man be compared to ordinary rough people? So.

On the road, he thought, "How to deal with this red beard?" However, he knew that Zhang Zuolin's foundation was very strong, and his group of people were quite loyal.

As the leader of the National Socialist Party in Congress, in Zhang Yilin's view, although he came to Fengtian as the Prime Minister's personal envoy this time, in the end, the National Socialist Party still had to deal with him, Zhang Zuolin. To deal with him, they must create internal divisions among themselves.

Massacre. Although the main military force in the Northeast is three divisions, the only ones with strength are Zhang Zuolin's 27th Division and Feng Delin's 28th Division. These two are brothers who kowtow to each other, and they are evenly matched at the moment. They are equally matched, so it depends.

If there is no flaw, how should I start?

Zhang Yilin doesn't have any plans in mind yet.

It is normal for two heroes to be unable to co-exist. Not only can he not tolerate foreign forces, but he has long felt that the kowtow elder brother, Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division, has the potential to share the world with him. Sometimes, this elder brother treats him

His words and deeds were very rude, and he would contradict him from time to time. Frankly speaking, this Feng Delin was superior to Zhang Zuolin in both literary and military skills. Based on his ability, Zhang Zuolin had to rank among the "younger men". Therefore,

Zhang Zuolin became jealous. Because he was a kowtow brother and he was not good at holding the staff in open fire, he had to secretly make up his mind to strengthen his power.

These local warlords!

As he was thinking about it, the car had already driven outside the gate of the General's Mansion. As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Yilin's secretary opened the door and handed over the name card.

"Zhang Yilin!"

Zhang Zuolin was stunned when he saw the name on the name card. He had met this deputy speaker of the National Assembly Zhang Zuolin when he met the president in the capital. How did he end up in the Northeast!

Could it be that...this news spread too quickly?

Feeling uneasy, Zhang Zuolin quickly walked out of the living room and walked towards the door of the General's Mansion. As soon as he left the General's Mansion, he saw Zhang Yilin standing outside the door. Zhang Zuolin greeted Zhang Yilin eagerly and diligently, and then said:

"It is truly a blessing for Fengtian to have Chairman Zhang come to Fengtian!"

"General Zhang, I arrived in Shengjing for the first time today. I saw the bustling market in Shengjing. General Zhang's ability to manage the local area is really amazing!"

For some reason, when these words of praise came out of Zhang Yilin's mouth, they sounded harsh to Zhang Zuolin's ears.

"This is thanks to the support of the State Council. Without the State Council's support and pro-business measures, there would be no prosperous Shengjing market today..."

In front of Zhang Yilin, Zhang Zuolin was careful. Unlike the person named Xu, although the person named Xu was a member of the National Socialist Party, the person in front of him was a close confidant of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister may not have influence outside the country, but if he wanted to

Deal with him, who knows what ideas he can come up with, the president doesn't even get any benefits from him.

It’s better to be careful!

Welcoming Zhang Yilin into the mansion, Zhang Zuolin, who accompanied him carefully and drank Fengcheng, responded with extreme caution. After the two talked for more than half an hour, Zhang Yilin put down the tea in his hand and looked at Zhang Zuolin and said.

"General Zhang, before Yilin came to Shengjing, the Prime Minister specifically told..."

Instructions... Zhang Zuolin quickly pricked up his ears and listened.

"... The area outside the Pass belongs to the Northeast, with Russia to the north and Japan to the east. Both countries are eyeing the Northeast. The situation is so bad that it is actually the most dangerous place in China. The Prime Minister is in the capital, but he is concerned about the country's defense.

Zeng Te told Yilin to tell General Zhang that he must strongly support the defense of Fengtian. I don’t know what the general needs, but he said bluntly that whatever the State Council can do, I don’t think the Prime Minister will refuse..."

As soon as Zhang Yilin said these words, Zhang Zuolin was slightly shocked. He quickly stood up and pretended to be moved and said.

"Zuolin was really moved by the fact that the Prime Minister was concerned about the defense of Northeast China,"

As he said this, Zhang Zuolin's heart moved when he thought about the things he had with his eldest brother, and he spoke.

'Speaker Zhang, let me tell you the truth. Yu Ting has been thinking about something these days, which makes him uneasy. He has always wanted to report it to the President and the Prime Minister to see what should be done.'

'oh?'

Seeing Zhang Zuolin say this, Zhang Yilin was slightly startled and then said:

‘General Zhang, feel free to speak out.’

'At present, the situation in the Northeast is still very unstable. The neighbors to the east and north are really the trouble for the Northeast. If something happens, the current army in the Northeast may not be able to deal with it. I am afraid that before the central boundary enters, the Northeast will

I'm afraid I'll lose everything...'

'What do you want to do?'

Zhang Yilin asked tentatively. He came here to discuss this matter with Zhang Zuolin, and he never thought of waiting for him to speak. Zhang Zuolin brought it up first.

‘I want to add ten cannons to the 27th Division.’

Zhang Zuolin, who can be said to be an old treacherous man, also asked tentatively. He wanted to understand the purpose of Zhang Yilin's private visit to Shengjing, but the more important thing was to take advantage. For Zhang Zuolin, who was born in a green forest, he had always believed in "

If you don't take advantage of someone, you're a bastard."

‘If we can add ten cannons, the Twenty-seventh Division can deal with any situation. Can Chairman Zhang submit it to the Beijing government and approve the funding as soon as possible?’

Hearing that Zhang Zuolin wanted to buy ten cannons, Zhang Yilin's heart began to churn:

‘This beard probably wants to expand himself.’

However, he felt that it was not easy to block it. When the expeditionary force was established, the reason why the armies of the three northeastern provinces were not mobilized was because of the dangers of the northern and eastern neighbors. Not only was it not mobilized, the president even specially allocated five

Thousands of rifles. Even after the Army's ordnance was standardized, its old weapons were specifically allowed to be kept in storage for emergencies, instead of being turned over like other provinces. Whether it is for the Presidential Office or the State Council,

How to maintain the stability of the situation in Northeast China has always been the first priority, so we have never intimidated him in the slightest, or even tried to appease him in every possible way.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhang Yilin smiled and said to Zhang Zuolin:

'General Zhang, your idea is very good. The 27th Division is the only powerful force in Fengtian Province. It should be well equipped. Only if we are strong ourselves, no one will dare to discriminate. It's just...'

Zhang Yilin gave up and showed a troubled expression on his face. Zhang Zuolin was shocked.

‘Why, he doesn’t want to report to Beijing?’

Thinking of this, Zhang Zuolin's face darkened and he said:

‘Buying artillery is a matter of course, and I don’t think Beijing will disagree with it. I just have to ask...’

Zhang Yilin smiled, shook his head and said:

"General Zhang, you are wrong. How can I stand by and watch such a thing! However, it is really inconvenient for Yilin to intervene in this military affairs, and it is also inconvenient for the State Council to intervene. Furthermore: if a routine document is submitted to Beijing, wait for it

I don’t know how long it will take for the Beijing government to approve it, and I don’t know if it is accurate or not? There are too many twists and turns.'

'So...'

'So be it,'

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Yilin said:

'First allocate money from the province. How much is needed, you report a plan, I will check back and say hello to the Civil Affairs Department. This saves time. Things must be done, procrastination, and saying that they can't be done will be done.

It can't be done.'

Zhang Zuolin did not expect that things would go so smoothly. He did not expect that Zhang Yilin would actually agree to greet the Civil Affairs Department in person. Ru Bian quickly stood up, bowed to express his thanks, and said:

‘Thank you, Speaker Zhang, for your care. Thank you, Speaker Zhang, for your care!’

‘Don’t be polite, my family, the State Council will fully support this matter of increasing national defense.’

After a moment of pause, Zhang Yilin said mysteriously:

'General Zhang, I think the general has understood that the danger to our east neighbor is imminent.'

With that said, Zhang Yilin moved closer to Zhang Zuolin.

‘When Zhang came from Beijing, the Prime Minister wrote a handwritten letter and asked Zhang to bring it to the general.’

As he spoke, he took out a letter from the document bag.

A personal letter from the Prime Minister!

After hearing this, Zhang Zuolin was shocked and quickly took the letter respectfully. When he opened the envelope, Zhang Zuolin's expression changed.

‘What a little Japanese nose! Could it be that he has some evil thoughts about Fengtian!’

Although he was surprised by what the Prime Minister mentioned in the letter, Zhang Zuolin looked at the proposal mentioned in the letter to dispatch two additional corps of internal affairs troops to Fengtian to strengthen Fengtian's defense.
