Beiyang reactionaries

There must be a logistics base, and the most suitable one is Baotou.Baotou is only [-] kilometers away from Yulin, and as an important material distribution center in the Northwest, it has good transportation conditions.

With Baotou as a logistics base, not only can supplies be provided to the frontline troops, but Duan Xun can also focus on Baotou to spread Duan Xun's influence.After controlling Baotou, Duan Xun's troops can directly threaten Suiyuan, Chahar and even Rehe.Therefore, after taking control of Baotou, the big stone in Duan Xun's heart has completely fallen.

Xu Yongchang stood up when he heard Duan Xun's words.

Someone has already hung a huge map on the wall in the back, which is the map of the north and east of Yulin.Xu Yongchang came to the map and said to the people below: "On September 9 this year, the first division of our department and the second division of the Shaanxi Army set off from Yulin and marched north."

"Wow—"

"Om-"

Although many people are questioning Duan Xun these days, Duan Xun has never responded positively.So much so that some people are wondering whether there is no army entering Mongolia at all.

Xu Yongchang's words were the first time he publicly admitted that Duan Xun had indeed sent troops into Mongolia.

What is Duan Xun going to do?

This is everyone's question.Because one thing is certain, that is, Yulin has been an important military town since ancient times, which can even be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties.Because he can deter Mongolia in the north, attack Suiyuan and Shanxi in the east, and depend on Yulin's face in Gansu (including Ningxia) in the west.

Gansu, unlikely.

After all, the governor of Gansu is Zhang Guangjian, a warlord of the Anhui faction, and he belongs to the same faction as Duan Xun.After the Zhiwan War, Duan Xun and the Anhui warlords vented their anger from the same nostrils, and Zhang Guangjian also supported Duan Xun's struggle to take back Guanyu.

To the north?

It doesn't seem right either.What is there in Mongolia? Duan Xun is the supervisor of the border defense. Although he still has the post of director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee, this is only to manage Mongolian and Tibetan affairs.Duan Xun has nothing to do and it is impossible to control Mongolia.

Going east, judging from Duan Xun's situation and Yan Xishan's cunning, Duan Xun should not conflict with Shanxi.Moreover, the relationship between Duan Xun and Yan Xishan is not very good, but it has not reached the point of fighting each other.

Then there is only Suiyuan.

The current capital of Suiyuan is Cai Chengxun, and it was previously the capital of Chahar.In the Zhiwan War, Cai Chengxun supported Cao Kun, supported Zhili, and attacked Xu Shuzheng's troops.Cao Kun appointed him as the capital of Suiyuan, with the intention of deterring Shanxi and monitoring Shaanxi.

Is Duan Xun's 2-strong army headed for Suiyuan?

Really want to fight?

The second direct Anhui war is about to start?

"quiet."

Bai Jianwu tapped the table lightly again to silence the reporters.Bai Jianwu also worked as a reporter, and his reputation in Beijing's reporter circle is not small.So very dissatisfied with these reporters.

I can't hold my breath at all.

Xu Yongchang waited for everyone to calm down, and continued: "After the troops set out from Yulin, they passed through the Ikezhao League and entered Baotou. After a day's repair in Baotou, the troops continued to go north, passed the Wulanchabu League, and prepared to enter Uli Yasutai. "

Xu Yongchang didn't hide anything.

The marching route was fully pointed out.Because for Duan Xun's troops, the Mongolian region, including Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, does not have any troops.The Mongolian army that swept the world back then has long since fallen.After the rule of the Qing Dynasty and entering the era of hot weapons, Mongolia did not have any outstanding troops.Even if we told them we were going this way, there was nothing they could do.

In history, Xu Shuzheng only led 5000 people, and he had already frightened the princes and ministers in Kulun, not to mention Duan Xun dispatched 2 troops this time.Without the support of Russia, Mongolia's little army is really nothing.

"The final destination of this troop is here, Kulun. This troop has been named by our general as the Garrison in Mongolia. Jing Yuexiu, the former guard envoy of northern Shaanxi, is the commander of the troop, and Ma Xiaojun, the former commander of the temporary first division, is the chief of staff. Wang Yinchuan, the former secretary-general of the House of Representatives, participated in the negotiations with the Uliasu-Taiwan government as the plenipotentiary representative of the Border Supervision Administration.”

After Xu Yongchang finished speaking, he returned to his seat.

It's like doing a military report.

At this moment, the reporters below, as well as the representatives of various forces, were dumbfounded.Everyone looked at Duan Xun in a daze, what did Xu Yongchang say just now?The final destination of this army is Cullen?

This force is going to Uliasutai?

What is this for?

Soon everyone came to their senses and raised their hands to ask questions.Bai Jianwu saw that these reporters were going to mess up again, so he said again: "Quiet. This press conference will last for one and a half hours, and everyone will have enough time to ask questions. But whoever disturbs the venue will be expelled on the spot. And for the sake of fairness, everyone Only one question. Start with the reporter at the front."

That lucky reporter was happy.

But don't look at the poor performance of these reporters today, but they are all experienced reporters who can come here.It's only because of being too anxious.Now that I really want to ask a question, this reporter is not panicked at all.

"General Duan, I am a reporter from the Republic of China Daily. I would like to ask, general, what are you going to do? Your army is called the Mongolian Garrison Corps. Your army is going to march into Kulun. What is the ultimate goal?"

"It's simple."

Duan Xun said with a smile: "I am the Superintendent of Frontier Defense and the director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee. I said at the inauguration ceremony more than a month ago that our border areas will not be independent and will not be separated from our country. I We must nip those possible dangers in the bud. Uliasutai declared independence in the first year of the Republic of China. Although independence was abolished in the second year of the Republic of China, it has always been in a state of autonomy, including military autonomy and diplomatic autonomy. This is an abnormal phenomenon. As a region of our country, he should not have military autonomy, political autonomy, and diplomatic autonomy, because these rights are the powers that an independent country can have. What I want to do is to cancel Uliasu The current state of autonomy in Taiwan cannot allow him to have any tendency towards independence. The ultimate goal of my troops marching into Kulun this time is to completely cancel the autonomy of Uliasutai.”

"General Duan, I am the reporter of 'Declaration'."

"Please."

Duan Xun was very impressed with the declaration.

The main reason is that Shi Liangcai would praise Duan Xun a lot in the declaration every time.Even Duan Xun was very surprised. Shi Liangcai is a newspaper tycoon, and his temper is not very good.Everyone knows that they criticize very violently for things they don't like.

And speaking of it, I have no friendship with this newspaper tycoon.

I didn't expect him to be so friendly to me.

"General Duan, the general did not obtain the consent of the President, the Cabinet, or the Ministry of War for this attack. Don't you think it is inappropriate to act without authorization?"

"Ha ha."

Sure enough, report.

He is very friendly to Duan Xun, but he is still so sharp in asking questions.

"I am the supervisor of the border defense and the director of the Mongolian-Tibetan Committee. I have full power to ensure the security of the border. As for Mongolian issues, I am the director of the Mongolian-Tibetan Committee. Appoint me as the director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee, and when Congress approves this appointment, I have such power."

In fact, Duan Xun's position is rather ambiguous.

Because Duan Qirui was in this position back then.At that time, Duan Qirui's border defense supervision changed from the supervision of participating in the war, and his power was very powerful.The president can't control it, the cabinet can't control it, and Congress can't control it.

The border supervision office is completely independent from the military to the economy.

But Xu Shichang, Jin Yunpeng and the others can't let Duan Xun have such great power.But Duan Xun is indeed a semi-independent force. The presidential palace, cabinet, and Congress have nothing to do with Duan Xun.

But helpless is helpless, some things cannot be explained clearly.

Therefore, Duan Xun's border defense supervision is indeed vague.Duan Xun is using this ambiguity to confuse the public.

"General Duan, I am a reporter from the 'National Daily'. I would like to ask, if the presidential palace or the cabinet, the Ministry of the Army ordered the general to withdraw the troops, what would you choose?"

"Simple. The Mongolian issue must be resolved, and Uliasutai's autonomy must end. There is no room for negotiation. This is my responsibility as the border defense supervisor and director of the Mongolian and Tibetan Committee. If there is no solution from the presidential palace, the cabinet, and the Ministry of War , just asking me to withdraw troops, I will not agree. Of course, if the Ministry of the Army wants to send other troops to Kulun, as long as the troops come to Kulun, I will immediately give up Kulun, and let the troops withdraw without saying a word."
