Are you a spy? Killing the enemy is too cruel.

Outer Mongolia.

Two military fortresses were built in the Khuvsgul area on the northern border.

In order to complete the project as quickly as possible, nearly 200,000 local people worked day and night.

This is the first line of defense against the attack of the Northern Bear Country. The geographical location is crucial. If there is a war in the future and these two military fortresses cannot be defended, the tanks and armored groups of the foreign devils in the north will enter the endless flat grassland after breaking through the blockade, making it even more difficult for Shenzhou to defend.

For several consecutive days, after returning from the northern border, Ye Feng stayed here to supervise the progress of various projects.

After the military fortress is completed, Ye Feng's next plan is that winter is approaching. By then, Ye Feng plans to go to the battlefield between Germany and the Northern Bear Country and take a look around Moscow to see what method can be used to injure the Northern Bear Country again. Even if they win the war, he will be in a state of great disability.

If the Northern Bear Kingdom is not weakened, how can China be stable? How can we defend the land of Outer Mongolia?

Another week later, the Songyu and Niuchu armies returned and reunited, and the war progressed smoothly.

At this time, the entire Outer Mongolia was under the control of Shenzhou.

Inside the temporary camp.

After reporting the war situation, Song Yu said worriedly, "Commander, these 300,000 local people are now helping us build fortifications, but it can be seen that these people are still alienated and hostile to us."

"Once the war is over, they will all go back to their homes. By then, the situation in Outer Mongolia will probably fall into turmoil again?"

Ye Feng did not rush to express his opinion, but asked, "What do you have to do to stabilize the situation in Outer Mongolia?"

Song Yu said, "We can learn from the methods we used in the Central Plains to help the local people in Outer Mongolia no longer suffer from poverty, hunger, and cold. We can give them houses to live in, food to eat, and grasslands to graze. As long as their lives improve, who would still care about the Northern Bear Country?"

Ye Feng said, "Outer Mongolia is separated from the Central Plains by Inner Mongolia, and it is too far away from the Central Plains. It is difficult to transport a lot of supplies. Even if the geographical location is suitable, the situation around the Central Plains is not optimistic now, right?"

A few months ago, people in the Central Plains, Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong and other places could live a slightly better life.

The main reason was that Ye Feng had robbed a large amount of supplies from the Japanese devils at that time, using them as a backup.

Now that batch of supplies and food has been almost eaten up. Although the autumn harvest is underway, the amount of food harvested is extremely limited due to reasons such as seeds, fertilizers, labor, and weather.

It is difficult to get a large amount of food and transport it to Outer Mongolia to resolve the situation here!

What makes Ye Feng even more worried is that starting next year, the Central Plains will experience a drought that is rare in a century.

That drought, with no rain for more than a year, made the situation even more severe.

In Ye Feng's previous life, there was a great famine in the Central Plains, and tens of millions of people were displaced and left their homes. Every time I read about the history of that period, I feel extremely distressed and my heart bleeds.

Every citizen who fell in the cold wind, those who starved to death, and those who froze to death were also citizens of China!

In order to cope with next year's drought, the grain harvested in autumn must be stored as response food.

"I have asked Shanghai's New Shenzhou Company to urgently purchase grain from abroad, and a batch of grain will be delivered soon."

Ye Feng continued:

"In order to stabilize the situation in Outer Mongolia, we will use this batch of food as a basis to recruit new soldiers from the local people of Outer Mongolia and expand our troops."

"Based on the amount of food, we can only recruit a maximum of 50,000 new soldiers."

The reason why Ye Feng was able to recruit 50,000 new soldiers outside was that he had obtained a batch of supplies and food from the Northern Bear Country after he had destroyed many strongholds, towns, and military bases of the Northern Bear Country.

Otherwise, the food shipped from Shanghai alone would not be enough to feed a few people.

Niu Chujun asked, "Commander, after recruiting 50,000 young and strong men, there are still more than 200,000 people left? How to place these people?"

Ye Feng said, "Before we recover Outer Mongolia, they can all survive. Then we will divide the grassland into areas. Those in need can go and graze, while those who are lazy can continue to starve in Ulaanbaatar."

A group of starving locals is more conducive to stabilizing the situation.

It is of course unrealistic to want every citizen in Outer Mongolia to become rich.

After defeating the Japanese, large areas such as the area north of the Yangtze River were also filled with poverty and hunger.

Even if we have the ability, we must naturally take care of the people in the Central Plains first.

Continue with the next topic.

"Do you think that the three military fortresses we built, after deploying various artillery, tanks, machine guns and other heavy weapons, can withstand the invasion of the army from our northern neighbors?" Ye Feng asked.

This time, the regiment commander Zheng Hua took the lead and said, "It's difficult, especially after you left, Commander. Our total force is only 100,000, and we have to divide it into three military fortresses, which means that each fortress has only more than 30,000 troops."

"As far as I know, the Northern Bear Country, which is currently fighting a fierce battle with Germany, has over a million troops in their country."

"If the enemy sends 200,000 troops south, with tanks and armored vehicles as the vanguard and fighter planes bombing in the sky, our military fortress will be difficult to defend. Even if we fight desperately to stop them, we will have no choice but to retreat after suffering heavy casualties."

Zheng Hua was right. Unless Ye Feng stayed here all the time, the Northern Bear Kingdom would be scared and would not dare to advance.

Otherwise, the three military fortresses would be difficult to defend.

Ye Feng said, "We have no way out. To the south is a vast grassland. If we don't want to lose the entire Outer Mongolia again, we can only build fortifications in this rugged mountainous area to resist the threat from the north."

Song Yu said, "If there are enough mines, we can lay out a minefield. Even if it is difficult to stop the enemy, we can slow down the enemy and buy enough time for subsequent support."

Ye Feng said, "In a short while, General Peng will lead eight regiments here, and they will be responsible for guarding the place."

This was Yan'an's intention, to let General Peng defend Outer Mongolia while sending troops to attack the northwest.

The 12th Army will return south to prepare for the next round of major operations.

After the completion of the military fortress, the recruitment of the 12th Army also ended. Fifty thousand new soldiers were recruited from the local people of Outer Mongolia. Because of the generous food and salary, the local people were very enthusiastic about joining the army.

The other 200,000 or so people also received food as a reward after the construction was completed and returned home happily.

Just as Ye Feng and his team were training 50,000 new recruits, General Peng arrived at the military fortress with eight regiments.

As soon as we met.

After a brief greeting, General Peng pulled Ye Feng aside and said, "Comrade Ye Feng, you have been fighting in Outer Mongolia recently and you are not familiar with the domestic situation, especially Outer Mongolia. It is quite meaningful to your strategic plan!"

Ye Feng frowned and asked, "I led the team to recapture Outer Mongolia and severely damaged the Northern Bear Kingdom. Is there anything wrong with that?"

General Peng said, "Now many people in Yan'an feel that the war in our country has not ended yet, and there are two enemies, Japan and Shancheng. Now is not a good time to provoke a more powerful Northern Bear Country."

"Many people believe that we should gather all our forces, cross the Yangtze River, and retake the entire area south of the Yangtze River first."

"There are many voices now that think that the military power controlled by you, Comrade Ye Feng, is too great and they want to disperse the power in your hands."

After hearing these words, Ye Feng's expression was still calm. If something really happened, he would have received a telegram from Yan'an by now.

"What do you say, sir?" Ye Feng asked.

"I firmly trust you. Under your chairmanship, Yan'an held several conferences in succession, and you expressed your views at each of them."

Ye Feng was deeply touched and said with a resolute look, "I will not let you down, sir, nor will I let down the people of the country. For the rise and rejuvenation of China, I, Ye Feng, will fight the enemy to the end."
