Crossing the Rise of Special Forces

Chapter 116: Su Guo's Ugly Eating Manners

The bloody night of swords wiped out the commando organization from the Northeast! It was as if nothing had happened overnight!

Zhao Wenyu was completely placed under house arrest by Xu Yan. Xu Yan did not see him. After sobering up, Zhao Wenyu was very tactful and did not say anything. No one knew where Xu Yan had locked him up, or he might actually be gone.

After investigation, most of the people arrested by the commandos were acquitted, and only a small number of them were actually involved in treason and collaboration with the enemy and received the appropriate punishment.

The first difficulty after the establishment of the autonomous government was quickly resolved by Xu Yan's lightning-fast strategy.

That day Xu Yan met an old friend.

Soviet Minister of Internal Affairs Titlovsky.

"Oh! Your Excellency! It is an honor to see that the Northeast has achieved autonomy under your leadership!"

"Old Ji, let's not be polite to each other! I also congratulate you on your successful election as a member of your Central Committee!"

After some greetings, Titlovsky spoke.

"Xu, our government wants to expand cooperation with you. The two sides will renew a memorandum of cooperation!"

"Oh? Really? I wonder how your country plans to expand cooperation?"

"We can provide you with more advanced weapons and equipment."

"What's the price?" Xu Yan said bluntly.

"The price is simple. We want to build the Far East Railway and connect it with your country's railway! It will facilitate communication between our two sides."

"You want to use this to connect your Beimo Province with Yingshan, right? Do you also want the right to station troops along the railway?" Xu Yan said calmly.

"Hehe, Xu, you are very wise!"

"You are not idle in the Jie tribe! Encourage them to join your Su country!"

"Isn't this what we agreed on at the time? You said you would guarantee our rights in Jie autonomy!"

"I admit it, but please look at the agreement we signed! What I meant was that you can have your rights and interests in the Jie territory, but I did not say that the Jie territory would be ceded to you! And now you want to completely take over this vast territory of the Jie! This is blatant betrayal!" Xu Yan said calmly.

"This! What's the difference? Our rights and interests in the Jie tribe must be protected by stationing troops!"

"I've said it before, the Jie tribe is our territory! You can trade in the Jie territory and set up your temporary garrison. We will also station troops there! And the Jie tribe must obey the management of the autonomous government!"

"How is this possible! Xu, in your words, you are destroying your bridges after crossing them! We provided you with a lot of help during your most difficult times! You can't go back on your word like this!" Titlovsky stood up and said.

"Then there's nothing to talk about?" Xu Yan said nonchalantly.

"Xu! You have to think it through! We will not give in on this matter!"

"I'm telling you too! I won't give in! If you want to use force! Then I'll fight you to the end!" Xu Yan stared at Jitlovsky and said in a firm tone!

"You have to know that our war on the Western Front is coming to an end! We will not be threatened by you anymore!" Titlovsky did not give in.

"Then just come over here!"

The talks ended unpleasantly.

Hu Ruoxue came out and said, "This is the latest information sent back by Jing Chao. They are carrying out a major purge within the Soviet Union. The scope of the purge is very wide."

"Send a telegram to Jing Chao right away and ask him to return home immediately!"

As the negotiations collapsed, cracks began to appear in relations with the Soviet Union.

"All of a sudden, the situation in the entire northeast changed drastically!

The Northeastern people, who had just defeated Japan, are now facing an even more powerful enemy!

"Head of State! The Soviet Union is continuing to increase its troops on the border! It has reached 10 divisions!" Wang Zhuguo said with some concern.

"Head of State, we are now surrounded by enemies! The Su people have been eyeing our Northeast! They are no better than the Japanese. When Marshal Yu Lin was here, we had to deal with them a lot, but ultimately we failed to take back Yingshan, and instead lost Beimozhou! At that time, the Jie nobles were flirting with the Su people!" said Cheng Jun, who has assumed the post of Chief of Staff of the Border Defense Army.

"And the Soviet Union's foreign minister went to Tianjing! And met Jiang Chao!" added the statement that took over Oss.

Xu Yan looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, how do you think we should deal with this?"

"Head of State, we have just experienced three years of war, and the reorganization of the troops has just begun. It can be said that all walks of life cannot withstand another war." Wang Jiujiang said heavily.

Xu Yan knew that although Wang Jiujiang's words were unpleasant to hear, they were indeed the truth.

"Consul Hu, what is your opinion?"

Hu Ruoxue knew what Xu Yan meant. She took a sip of tea and said, "Head of State, although what Minister Wang said is true, our work is currently being restored in an orderly manner. Except for some losses in agriculture, the industry has not been greatly affected. After a few months of integration, many heavy industries in Yacheng are already on the way to move to Fengtian and Anyang, or are in the process of being relocated! The production capacity of the military factory in Fengtian is five times that of Yacheng. It can currently produce 30 rounds of various ammunition per month! 15 Yan-style 1000 rifles and 30 various artillery pieces!"

Hu Ruoxue didn't say anything else, but it was obvious that her words supported Xu Yan.

"If you ask me, let's fight! Who's afraid of who? Didn't the Kwantung Army get driven away by us in one battle? If we don't fight, do we mean we are willing to be bullied?" Fang Tianlong shouted carelessly.

"Head of State! According to reliable intelligence we have received, there is no unity within the Soviet Union! They are currently experiencing an unprecedented purge, and the people are in a panic! And the information sent back by Jing Chao is enough to prove that their purge has affected the army!" Chen Shuo said.

"The Su Kingdom is always a hidden danger! They have troops stationed in Beimozhou to the north and Yingshan to the south. The border is too long with us! If we don't fight this time, there will inevitably be conflicts in the future! This time they want the Jie territory! If they station troops again, it will directly threaten our Fengtian! The small number of troops stationed in Beimozhou can be ignored, but if the Jie becomes their territory, the nature will be different!" Xu Lanchun said with some concern. He is now the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Northeast Provisional Autonomous Government.

Everyone deeply agreed and couldn't help but look at Xu Yan.

Xu Yan looked around at everyone present and slowly said, "What you said makes sense. Problems do exist, and shortcomings are also facts. If war can be avoided, it is best to avoid it." Xu Yan listened and coughed lightly, then continued, "But! We will not avoid the war that needs to be fought! The Soviets' ambitions for the Northeast are no less than those of the Japanese! Sometimes we really have nowhere to retreat! Because there is an abyss behind us! I won't say much, just one sentence! We must fight this battle well! Strike the first blow! Otherwise, a hundred blows will come! If we can't win quickly, then we can just consider it as driving the Japanese away a few years later! As long as the Soviets dare to have evil intentions! We will resolutely beat them down!"

Soon, this newly assembled war machine started moving again!
