Ouyang Longxing hesitated for a moment before saying, "It is not too difficult to get there. It is not that easy for the Mongolian nobles to organize alliances. It cannot be done in less than half a year, and even if it is done, it is no big deal. In terms of force, the Mongolian nobles' alliance is simply impossible to be our opponent, and in terms of people's hearts, the Mongolian nobles are even more unlikely to be able to compare us. As for Russia, it should be a diplomatic matter. However, after Russia's new defeat in the Far East War, there is a lot of conflicts in China, which is a period of recession. Therefore, I believe that as long as we put enough pressure on Russia in diplomacy, Russia will not be able to support the Mongolian nobles, or at least not blatantly support it."

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "According to what you said, the Mongolian region is solid!"

Ouyang Longxing shook his head and said, "That can't be said. If we just want to defend the Mongolian area we currently control, of course it will not be a problem, but the Mongolian nobles will definitely not stop. Although they cannot shake our control, they will continue to cause small damage to us. If we only deal with this way of dealing with the moves, we will be a little passive and are completely led by the Mongolian nobles, which is very unfavorable to us. Because the total area of ​​Inner Mongolia exceeds 1 million square kilometers and has a population

It is about 2.3 million; Outer Mongolia has 1.7 million square kilometers. The population is about 800,000, while the area we control now has only 450,000 square kilometers and the population is less than 100,000. We cannot rely on the resources of the Mongolian region to deal with the destruction of the Mongolian nobles. To maintain control over the areas currently occupied, we can only continuously draw resources from areas outside Mongolia to transfusion blood for the Mongolian region. Therefore, this situation occurs. Even if we can defend the Mongolian region we control, it is not worth the loss to be honest."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "So according to your opinion, how to solve this problem?"

Ouyang Longxing said: "My solution is to expand our occupied areas in the Mongolian region. On the one hand, it is to warn the Mongolian nobles that we will never be beaten and not fight back. Whoever dares to provoke us must bear our revenge; on the other hand, it has expanded our occupied areas in the Mongolian region and increased the population, so that we can mainly rely on the resources of the Mongolian region to fight against the Mongolian aristocracy, implement Mongolian control, and in the future we will have full control of Mongolia and have enough personnel to use it."

Qin Zheng said: "So to what extent should we expand the occupied areas in Mongolia?"

Ouyang Longxing immediately took out a map, assisted on the table, pointed to the map and said, "Now we have controlled the Manzhouli area in the north, and Chifeng in the south, and the straight line from Chifeng to Manzhouli is about 800 kilometers." As he said that, he picked up a pencil, drew a straight line between Manzhouli and Chifeng, and then said:

"The part east of this straight line, including the Zhuosotu League, Zhaowuda League, and Zhelim League in the northeast of Inner Mongolia, most of the Xilingol League, and Chechen Khan in Outer Mongolia, are surrounded by arcs in our northeastern region. This is the occupied area we should expand. Once we include this area under control, the area we will control in Mongolia is about 250,000-300,000 square kilometers and the population is about 700,000-800,000. In this way, there will be enough human resources. As long as we are properly organized, we can rely solely on the resources of the Mongolian region we control to fight against the Mongolian aristocracy in other regions. We will cultivate enough personnel for the future full control of the Mongolian region."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Your suggestion is good, but we have just ended the Far East War and are now in the Yangtze River Basin to rescue disasters. In a short period of time, we will not launch new wars."

Ouyang Longxing said: "To control this area, there is no need to carry out large-scale military operations. One army regiment and one cavalry regiment are enough. Even if there are only two cavalry battalions, it is enough to just draw troops from my 19th Division. Just equip me with cavalry troops. And military operations of this scale will not consume too much of our resources."

Qin Zheng said: "If you only deploy this little force, it is feasible, but can you achieve what you mentioned by relying on just a little force? One army group and two cavalry battalions can have a maximum of 45,000 troops. In Mongolia, there may not be that force that can compete with such forces, but to control an area of ​​250,000 to 300,000 square kilometers, relying solely on this little force is far from enough."

Ouyang Longxing said: "Political Commissar, you are right. I don't expect to rely on an army to occupy this area. The army is just an auxiliary. The main tactics are still to adopt our model in Henan, infiltration layer by layer, three parts military and seven parts politics. Fully mobilize the vast number of herdsmen and organize them to attack the Mongolian nobles. We only do leadership, mobilization, and organization work, while the army is only our backing and used when the Mongolian nobles counterattack. According to the current situation we have,

The herdsmen in this area all hope that we can rescue them. Who doesn’t want to get rid of the control of the nobles and have their own cattle, sheep and animals? Therefore, as long as we send an army and raise our arms, we will definitely get the support of many herdsmen. Of course, such tactics require a large number of grassroots administrative staff, which requires strong support from local governments. According to my estimate, within this year, at most by the beginning of next year, we can complete control of this area."

Qin Zheng was very satisfied with Ouyang Longxing's answer. In fact, this coincides with his idea. Although in the past two years, the main goal of East China ** is to develop the economy and industry without launching a large-scale war, it does not mean that East China ** should keep a low profile and do nothing. On the one hand, if there is a suitable opportunity, it will still take decisive action. For example, this disaster relief operation actually penetrates the East China *** into the Yangtze River Basin; on the other hand, small-scale military operations, whether offensive or defensive, East China ** will not blindly stop the war. The wars that should be fought must be fought, but the scale must not exceed one division.

In the Mongolian region, although East China occupied the Chifeng stronghold, it was hard to make a move. If it could expand the Mongolian region controlled by East China under the premise of controlling the military scale, of course it could be implemented. However, Qin Zheng was not on the front line, so he did not fully understand the situation in the Mongolian region. He was not sure whether he could expand the Mongolian region controlled by East China under the premise of controlling the military scale. This time, Qin Zheng came to Jinzhou for inspection and specially arranged a meeting with Ouyang Longxing in Chaoyang County, just to discuss the situation in the Mongolian region with him and see how the specific implementation probability was.

However, judging from Ouyang Longxing's response, his ideas were not only the same as Qin Zheng, but also obviously after careful consideration and made detailed plans based on the actual situation in Mongolia. In Qin Zheng's opinion, the chance of this plan being successful is indeed very high, so Qin Zheng said: "Ouyang, it seems that you have been considering this plan for a while."

Ouyang Longxing said: "Yes, after capturing Chifeng, I was considering it, because although we controlled Chifeng at that time, the defense line was too thin. In order to ensure the transportation line, we had to adopt the strategy of building fortresses along the way. Later, our governance in the occupied areas was very effective, so I thought we could adopt the 'Henan model', and Aohan Banner tried it once and achieved good results. At that time, after our mobilization, more than 2,000 herdsmen were mobilized by us. I only sent one company of troops to cooperate with them in battle, and successfully overthrew the two local aristocratic forces and achieved a turnaround. At that time, some herdsmen asked us to go to other flag alliances to encourage the herdsmen there, overthrow the nobles, and be the masters. They also promised to help us persuade the local herdsmen, so I began to conduct serious investigations, analysis, and finally determined this plan."

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, then you write this plan into a report..."

Ouyang Longxing immediately said: "Report to the political commissar, I have written the report." As he said that, he took out a bound book from the folder he brought, and gave it to Qin Zheng respectfully, saying: "Political commissar please read it."

Qin Zheng laughed and said, "It seems that you are fully prepared." But he didn't go to pick him up.

Ouyang Longxing said: "After I received the notice that you were going to come to Jinzhou for inspection, I started writing this report. All the words I said just now are included in the report, and there are also very detailed data descriptions in the report."

Qin Zheng said: "Very good, I won't read it anymore. You should submit this report to the military region you belong to. This process cannot be destroyed and will be transmitted to me in the end. However, I can't make the decision for such a big thing. I will eventually take it to Qingdao and be reviewed by the Executive Yuan, but I support it. Only when the Executive Yuan is approved can it start to implement it. I'm afraid it will take a few days."

In fact, the Northeast Management Committee has the power to approve Ouyang Longxing's report. Although the goal of this operation is to control the 25-30 square kilometers area of ​​Mongolia, it is only a local military operation after all, and the scale of the troops dispatched is not large. The Northeast Management Committee can decide on its own and just report to Qingdao.

However, the countdown of the cancellation of the Northeast Management Committee is now in progress. When Qin Zheng completes this inspection, he will start to hand over when he returns to Shenyang and then announce the cancellation of this organization. Therefore, the Northeast Management Committee is basically gone at this time. Of course, Qin Zheng does not want to make a decision at this time. Moreover, Ouyang Longxing's plan is not imminent. It will not have any major impact if he waits for 1 or 20 days. After the Northeast Management Committee is abolished, Qin Zheng will return to Qingdao and submit it to the Executive Yuan for discussion.

Ouyang Longxing didn't understand the subtle relationship here. Since Qin Zheng said that, he didn't have time to ask anymore, so he said: "Yes."
