On May 2, under the protection of the Internal Guards, Jiangdong boarded a train bound for Mongolia and left Peiping secretly.

Work and family have been arranged, and General Jiangdong will start the Western Expedition together with the army.

The Internal Guard and the Secretariat believe that the safest and fastest way is to leave Peiping by plane and enter Siberia directly.

It would take about ten days for the army and various weapons and equipment to enter Eastern Europe, and Jiangdong's arrival so many days in advance would not have much effect.

Choosing to take a train and go to the battlefield along the Sino-Soviet Railway artery with the soldiers, Jiangdong's main purpose was to inspect the transportation along the way and the material reserves in each region.

One million troops marched into Eastern Europe, with supply lines extending over ten thousand miles.

If Jiang Dong didn't go there himself and see with his own eyes what was going on along the way, he wouldn't be at ease.

For Peking's army to achieve so many victories, timely and sufficient logistical supplies are crucial.

The lack of adequate logistical supplies when fighting abroad will not only make the progress of the war difficult, but also put the troops in danger.

Jiangdong cherishes the life of every Chinese soldier and has opened a special air medical route for this purpose.

The supplies for the Western Expeditionary Army mainly came from two directions. One was from Beiping, through the Mongolian region, across Lake Baikal, and then along the Trans-Siberian Railway to the battlefields of Eastern Europe.

The second one starts from Vladivostok, passes through the Trans-Hinggan Mountains, north of Lake Baikal, and connects to the Trans-Siberian Railway.

In order to effectively ensure logistical supplies, the General Staff ordered the engineering troops six months ago to build the Sino-Soviet Railway Artery into a two-way double track.

Upbound trains and downbound trains can travel on this railway at the same time, improving the efficiency of material transportation.

Jiangdong rode an ordinary military column, which contained a division of soldiers and corresponding weapons and equipment.

The train passed the Great Wall, passed Suiyuan, entered Mongolia, and finally stopped at the edge of Lake Baikal.

Xiaodouzi, who was under 20 years old, was already the deputy army commander and division commander.

His troops were on the train with Jiangdong, and Xiaodouzi returned to the role of a guard when in front of Jiangdong, not like a deputy commander at all.

In the past two years, the opportunities for the two parties to meet have become less and less, and each has his own work and tasks.

During this time on the train, Xiaodouzi showed a rare sense of relaxation and childishness.

Jiangdong will stop at Lake Baikal, while Xiaodouzi's troops will continue to advance westward until they enter the battlefield.

At the moment of separation, Xiaodouzi finally looked a bit like a deputy commander, and saluted Jiangdong solemnly and uprightly.

Jiang Dong encouraged him with a smile, and then watched the train with black smoke entering the territory of Mao Xiong.

King De of Mongolia, Li Shouxin and others built a large holiday villa for Jiangdong on the edge of Lake Baikal.

On the way to the vacation villa, Jiang Dong smiled and asked Zhao Erniu, the captain of the internal guard.

"Xiaodouzi is younger than you, but he is already the deputy commander! I think it won't take more than a few months to get rid of this "deputy". Are you envious?"

Zhao Erniu scratched his dark cheeks and thought carefully for a moment before replying:

"I should be envious, but I still think it would be better to be the captain of your inner guard."

"Although I cannot command thousands of troops, as long as I protect you well, it is more important than commanding 10 armies."

Jiang Dong didn't believe that Zhao Erniu had such a high consciousness, so he pretended to tease him.

Sure enough, Zhao Erniu said:

"Yaya doesn't want me to become a general either, saying that would be dangerous."

Jiang Dong gave him a look of disdain and began to turn his attention to Lake Baikal.

Lake Baikal in May is still cold and springy, the traces of winter have not completely disappeared, and there are light floating ice floating on the lake.

As far as the eye can see, there is a line of white behind the light blue.

The floating white clouds are reflected on the wide lake surface. My body feels slightly cold and my mind feels lonely.

Although the scenery of Siberian Blue Eyes has not yet fully emerged, everything is already beautiful.

Admiring the scenery along the way, the car unknowingly drove into a holiday villa made entirely of wood.

Few people knew about Jiangdong's itinerary, so there was no one to greet him outside the villa except for the fixed security personnel.

Soldiers from the Internal Guard have already checked the safety of the entire villa area in advance.

Jiangdong did not pursue material enjoyment. The reason why he agreed to build a villa near Lake Baiga was because he planned to retire here.

That night he and the soldiers of the Internal Guard ate the rare roast venison.

The next morning, Dewang and Li Shouxin, who were in charge of border defense and cavalry training in Mongolia, hurried to the holiday villa.

The two of them had traveled hundreds of miles in one night, and they looked very tired.

With Jiangdong's support, Mongolia was unified. At the same time, King De also gave up his unrealistic fantasies and honestly worked for Jiangdong and sacrificed his life.

Because in the past few years, he has seen the fate of too many people who opposed Jiangdong, and seen them and their families disappear completely on this grassland, leaving no trace behind.

The most important task of King De and Li Shouxin was to guard the border, followed by raising horses and training cavalry.

Of course, they are also responsible for collecting intelligence and infiltrating to the northwest.

Without giving the two a chance to rest, Tang Yun, the director of the Secretariat, led them directly to Jiangdong.

After meeting Jiang Dong, King De and Li Shouxin first expressed their loyalty and loyalty.

Jiangdong planned to leave the Lake Baikal area tonight, so he asked directly:

"How did the task assigned to you go?"

King De and Li Shouxin looked at each other. The former wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:

"Back to the Commander-in-Chief, after more than a year of preparations, we are ready to invade Xinjiang. As long as you give the order, we guarantee to control the entire territory of Xinjiang within a month!"

"Although the Ma family is secretly developing its own military power, the gap between them and us is too big to take over Gansu, Qinghai and other places."

"We have also developed some forces of our own in the Tibet region. As long as you need it, we guarantee to take over the entire northwest within half a year."

The Military Intelligence Agency is also infiltrating to the northwest, but they are operating covertly, while De Wang and Li Shouxin are doing it openly.

Jiang Dong had already read the detailed written report and asked immediately:

"Is there any way to capture the places you just mentioned without using force?"

The Western Expedition and the Southern Expedition have put a lot of pressure on the country, and Jiangdong does not want more fighting in one direction at this time.

The northwest region is different from the southwest. The northwest is mainly dominated by warlords, while the southwest also has a government.

King De looked embarrassed. Li Shouxin rolled his eyes and said first:

"As long as the General Staff provides intelligence support, it should be okay not to use force."

Seeing Jiang Dong's sharp gaze, Li Shouxin said hurriedly:

"It always makes people have more trust in us. We will definitely do our best to accomplish this."

King De also hurriedly gave his assurance.

Jiang Dong looked quite satisfied.

"After this expedition is over, domestic affairs will be settled. This is the final opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

"I hope you will seize this opportunity and don't let me down!"

With Jiangdong's current status, the more vague he says, the more convincing he is.
