Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Wang Zhenyu smiled: "No wonder Hu Hanmin refuses to give it to you. If I really want to give it to you, the other 11 departments of the Government Affairs Council are not allowed to go to the street to beg for food."

Cai Yuanpei said embarrassingly: "If the chairman finds it difficult, you can reduce it. It is also good for us to set up two schools first."

Wang Zhenyu shook his head and said: "The country needs talents, so this matter cannot be delayed, the most important thing is to do it well, and I have trust in Minister Cai's character, I have a sum of money here, [-] billion, you can do it It is as big as it is. Education costs money, but the talents cultivated can make money in the future.”

Chapter 286 Declaring War on Germany ([-])

After Cai Yuanpei was sent away, Wang Zhenyu felt that money was tighter.It seems that the speed of sending troops to Europe has to be accelerated, so as to get some benefits from Britain and France to promote the development of industry.As for the national capital, Wang Zhenyu has already given them loans through the three major banks. I believe that these capital-rich capitalists will soon be able to make a lot of money by taking advantage of the spring breeze of World War I in the next two years.As for after World War I, what about their production capacity?Wang Zhenyu also had a preliminary idea of ​​consuming part of it in his own country, and then sending it to the hope of mankind, the great Soviet, to exchange these materials for cheap mineral resources and agricultural products.There is no reason not to earn money!

"Yes, yes, yes" There was a voice of approval in the venue of the Provisional Senate of the Republic of China (that is, the Congress). The bill under consideration at the moment is the declaration of war against Germany.Under the manipulation of various forces, more than 70.00% of the MPs voted for the declaration of war.There is no way, the congressmen also have to eat, and they don't have the way of Yang Yongtai to get the governor Dangdang, so they can only collect people's money and help them eliminate disasters.

This made Speaker Wu Jinglian and Deputy Speaker Tang Hualong very helpless. Wu Jinglian could only announce in public: "The declaration of war against Germany was approved by a majority vote and will be submitted to the President for consideration today." The entire Congress was full of cheers and applause.

But unfortunately, this "declaration of war against Germany" passed by the provisional Senate was sent to the presidential palace and was kept by our president of Lida.At this moment, the nose of Duan Qirui, who had already negotiated the loan issue with the Japanese through Cao Rulin, was crooked, right, crooked again.

Duan Qirui can't wait to send troops into the city to start a mutiny now and drive Li Yuanhong out of power.But when he calmed down, he realized that Li Yuanhong also had an army in his hands. If he really wanted to do something wrong, he would probably have to smash the old Beijing city to pieces.So, let's negotiate honestly. Li Yuanhong, a cunning man, is obviously seeking benefits.

That night, Wang Yitang and Cao Rulin entered the presidential palace on behalf of Duan Qirui, and Li Yuanhong was also a straightforward person. He meant the same thing in the open and in the dark.This is really drinking water and not forgetting the well digger. I don’t know if President Li Da is really confused or not. You really think that the participating troops we compiled and trained after we participated in the war are going to be sent to Europe. Ours It's all for the purpose of attacking the south, and you're doing it together with the south. It's not fatal. You are the president of the central government anyway. How can you turn your elbow outward?

However, this can be regarded as the bottom line, and the two rushed to Duan's mansion to discuss a solution with Duan Qirui.

Things got even weirder the next day. The British Minister Zhu Erdian hosted a banquet for Xu Shuzheng and others. The allies of the Allied Powers headed by Britain and France beat up the Germans who disrupted world peace.

Now Duan Qirui fully understands, no wonder Li Yuanhong dared to stay in the middle school, there is also the support of the great powers in it.

He could only ask Xu Shuzheng and the others to talk about this matter with the Japanese to see what was going on in the middle.

Japanese Minister Koban Yukichi was taken aback when he heard the news from Beiyang, and immediately held a meeting, and Kenji Doihara was also called to the conference room to attend.

After seeing the news, all diplomats and intelligence personnel boldly put forward their own assumptions, the most reliable of which is Doihara's assumption: "Dear Minister, we may be in trouble. That is in Before we and the Beiyang faction, the rulers of South China (South China) were already secretly seeking to join the war, and they probably reached a related secret agreement with Britain and France. This should be a huge plan, and we are in South China Because the lack of sufficient intelligence network does not know the existence of this plan, Your Excellency, this is our dereliction of duty."

Xiao Fanyouji's eyelids jumped when he heard this. The reason why his predecessor Hiki Masaki was dismissed and recalled was because of his slowness on the issue of Southern China, and this time Southern China actually instigated Beijing to join the war and he was completely unaware.It seemed that he had neglected Southern China too much, so he immediately asked loudly: "All the gentlemen here are His Majesty's most loyal warriors, I want to know who among you knows the situation in Southern China, and who can get this to join the war?" plan?"

Everyone was dumbfounded, many of them were just transferred from China, and the original intelligence network in South China had already fallen apart, so they didn't know how to answer Minister Xiaofan Youji.

Seeing this, Kenji Doihara bowed forward bravely and said: "Before I returned to Beijing, I stayed in Nanjing for more than a month, and I have a relatively good understanding of the situation in Southern China. Please allow the Minister to report to you about Southern China. The truth is, it will take some time.”

Xiao Fan Youji nodded in agreement, and Doihara summoned up his courage and said, "It all starts with a Chinese general named Wang Zhenyu in the first year of Taisho..."

An hour later "It should be said that it was such a guy who came out of nowhere and changed the situation in the entire South China. God knows how he could have so many troops. He came out from western Hunan and Guangxi, and then Yuan Shikai's army was defeated like a snake swallowing an elephant. Our idea at the time was very simple, that is, we arranged three assassinations in the hope of killing him. Unfortunately, this guy was very cunning and escaped. Now it seems that he has already fought with the British and French tied together."

Xiao Fanyouji stroked his chin and thought for a while, "Hasn't the military ever thought of wooing this damned General China, just like Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast?"

Kenji Doihara nodded blushingly and said: "His jumping speed is too fast. Before the military department has reached a resolution on his issue, this damn guy has become the de facto controller of the entire Southern China. And Sun Wen and others, whom the empire has been silently supporting through the Black Dragon Society, have never had the opportunity to be absorbed by this damned General China. When I was in Nanjing, I planned to use the relationship of the Black Dragon Society to contact Sun Wen’s family and the Empire. A close cadre. However, it was later discovered that although the so-called national government is based in Nanjing, in fact the political center of Southern China is in Wuhan, and there, the power of the empire cannot be displayed at all. Then the humble post will be envoy you The order recalled Beijing, and the intelligence work in South China stopped, I am ashamed of my humble job."

After listening to Kenji Doihara's statement, Xiaoban Youji sighed involuntarily: "This is really a great man. He actually unified the most chaotic southern region in China, and he didn't know how to obtain the British and French rights. Support, Doihara-kun, if I assign you to Nanjing to rebuild the empire's intelligence network in Southern China, will you be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor?"

Kenji Doihara bowed immediately and said, "I will never resign from my humble post, and I will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

Xiao Fan Youji nodded and said: "Then it's fate. I will submit the report to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Military Department. You are ready to go. As for the bottom line of i Britain, I will find out by myself. For the eternal foundation of the empire, please Gentlemen cheer up, the meeting ends..."

Xiao Fan Youji went to the British Legation that afternoon. Zhu Erdian was a very proud person. He had no intention of hiding anything from the Japanese. He told the Japanese clearly that if the Japanese wanted to, they could send troops to participate European war.But this is exactly what the Japanese who have experienced the trauma of the Russo-Japanese War are the last thing they want to do. There is an old saying that picks the weakest persimmons.Then there is a reason to abandon the fat pig of China and go to Europe to find wild wolves.

The next day, Britain, France and Japan secretly reached an agreement at a reception, the contents of which are as follows:

First, Japan supports China in declaring war on Germany;

Second, Britain and France acquiesce in Japan's interests in Shandong (what's the situation?).

Third, until the end of the European War, Japan has an obligation to maintain peace in the Chinese region.

Fourth, the National Government of South China will organize an expeditionary force to go to France to participate in the war, and some of the arms orders will be handed over to Japan for production by the United Kingdom (Xiao Fanyouji is ecstatic).

Fifth, Britain and France will not interfere with Beijing's preparation and training of participating troops.

Sixth, in return for China's declaration of war against Germany, Britain and France will contact various countries to allow China to suspend the payment of compensation for the Boxer Treaty and other compensations from this year until the end of Europe. . .

This famous "Three Kingdoms Secret Treaty" was obtained by the Federal Government of China after the fall of Japan, but it has not been released for various reasons. It was not until the emergence of WikiLeaks that later generations knew what the inside story of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's participation in World War I was all about.This made them pay more heartfelt respect to those soldiers who fought bloody battles in Europe.

On May 5, the Provisional Senate voted on the latest declaration of war against Germany, and then President Li Yuanhong and Premier Xiong Xiling successively signed the declaration of war.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs formally sent a note to the German Minister in China to submit a declaration of war to him. The last time this was done was during the Empress Dowager Cixi’s time.So this time the German envoy is still neither humble nor overbearing. He firmly believes that Germany will win the final victory.

On May 5th, at the National Assembly of the Nanjing Nationalist Government, all 30 representatives attended. On behalf of the Youth Army, Wang Zhenyu made an impassioned speech at the National Assembly: "Let our soldiers use our blood to fight for the rise of this nation again! Long live the Chinese nation, long live the national government, long live the youth army!"

After voting, the National Assembly passed the "Expeditionary Force Dispatch Operation Case" proposed by the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government with 218 votes in favor, 98 votes against, and 55 abstentions. The horn of war sounded again.

Chapter 287 Industrial Age

As a person from later generations, it can be said that Wang Zhenyu is familiar with the War of Resistance Against Japan!

Japan’s invasion of China started on September 9.18, because otherwise the Kuomintang and Chiang Kai-shek could not be blamed, and in fact there was no so-called non-resistance order from the beginning to the end.The reason why Japan was able to penetrate the whole of China and defeat millions of Japanese troops was because the Kuomintang was passive and one-sided in the war of resistance, did not dare to mobilize the masses, and actively engaged in political friction and so on.In fact, the negative, reactionary, one-sided, and positive Kuomintang casualties reached 340 million, of which as many as 206 generals were killed.

Netizens of later generations seem to be dismissive of this, isn't it just that more troops died?At that time, there were many people, and it was enough to just grab some strong men.Wang Zhenyu belongs to this type of netizen, but he didn't know how fart this view is until he came to this era.You think the army is the Boxer Regiment, set up a banner and drink the invulnerable water, and then gather the soldiers together in a hurry.In the final analysis, the army is mainly composed of officers at all levels. It takes at least ten months for a strong soldier to become a qualified squad leader, and it takes longer to become a platoon leader, company commander, or even battalion commander.The army is indeed a place where geniuses can be produced at any time, but the premise is that these talented guys survive first.At that time, the situation of the Kuomintang was that it was wiped out by the Japanese army, and division commanders, army commanders, and commanders would all die at any time, so it was very difficult to replenish officers.Of course, this is also directly related to their style of play. These people don't know our party's way of avoiding the edge and attacking the enemy's weaknesses, let alone mobilize such good boys as the little soldier Zhang Ga to hit devils with slingshots.People are just the second son of Beijing, and they will just put their heads on the front and let the Japanese smash them with steel.But let's look back and think about it, it's the same as **, why doesn't the big brother, the Soviet Union, play this base area behind enemy lines?Instead, drive groups of young people who haven't even registered their names to Stalingrad to fight the Germans?Could it be that the big brother of the Soviet Union is also out of his mind like Jiang Guangtou (Shanghai dialect, his brain is broken)?

This involves a basic military common sense. The front and the enemy's rear cooperate with each other. If you have to prioritize, it is also the enemy's rear that cooperates with the front. Don't waste time fighting for this.No matter from which point of view, it is not cost-effective to turn the country into an occupied area. It is an act of supporting the enemy, and it is a sinful existence that weakens its own strength to strengthen the enemy.Moreover, the purpose of the existence of the army is to protect the people. In the end, it is a very bad state to rely on the people to cover and protect the army.If that army has gotten to this point, please don't boast about how brave you are, because this is contrary to the spirit of Chinese warriors since the Spring and Autumn Period.Since modern times, the Sichuan Army has done the best in this regard. This gang of uncles will never harm the common people when they fight.

Closer to home, even if the Kuomintang troops failed in the frontal resistance, they were innocent, not only innocent, but also meritorious.In any case, the Japanese have to pay a price for every inch of land, and the accumulated effect of this price is that when the Japanese decide to attack Xiangxi, they suddenly find that they have no strength to move on.But don’t get excited, the biggest beneficiary of China’s eight-year bloody battle was once considered to be the United States, because China has involved a lot of Japanese troops. (and then the blood went to Europe, where it was drained dry by the Germans or sucked dry by English girls).

But Wang Zhenyu threw away the history textbook and found out that it was the Russian prostitute who made a big deal for grandma.

This cheapness is the Northeast and Outer Mongolia. According to historical records, by 1945, the industrial scale of the Northeast surpassed that of Japan, ranking first in Asia.There are many factory chimneys on both sides of the Shenyang-Dalian line from Shenyang to Dalian, and the cities are connected together, becoming a world-famous "Long Industrial Zone". Shenyang Tiexi District is known as the "Oriental Ruhr".The level of industrialization in Northeast China increased rapidly. In 1931, the proportion of total industrial output value in total industrial and agricultural output value increased from 26.9% to 59.3%, while China only reached 2003% in 57.5. In 1938, the Puppet Manchukuo had a total of 16.3 billion kWh of power generation, and it had the first large-scale hydropower generation in Asia. In 1943, the Fengman Hydropower Station began to generate electricity, with an annual power generation capacity of 22 billion kWh. By 1949, the entire China’s power generation was only 43 billion kWh. In 1943, the Northeast produced 49.4% of China's coal, 87.7% of pig iron, 93% of steel, 93.3% of electricity, and 69% of sulfuric acid with one-ninth of China's land and one-tenth of its population. , 60% of soda ash, 66% of cement, 95% of machinery, formed a huge man-made petroleum, special steel and other cutting-edge technology companies that were leading the world at that time. In 1945, the Northeast accounted for 85% of China's total industrial output value, Taiwan accounted for 10%, and the rest of China, which was "poor and white" after years of civil wars, only accounted for 5%.

The Kwantung Army of the Soviet Union in Japan was completely wiped out by the Americans on the Pacific battlefield (the Americans themselves did not know that due to the lag of intelligence, the United States has always been very worried about the 70 Kwantung Army that is said to still exist in Northeast China and has actually been wiped out by them. ), take advantage of the void and enter the northeast.When they left, they not only forced the Kuomintang to recognize the independence of Outer Mongolia (in fact, until today, Outer Mongolia is still an independent country and has nothing to do with China), but also from September 1945 to May 9, the Soviet Army Most of the materials such as factories, mines, and power stations in the Northeast were dismantled and shipped back to China. The trains continued day and night for seven months from September, and even the office furniture of the Changchun Municipal Government was spared.It only took 1946 days to dismantle and transport the huge Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. See what you want), 5 trains for delivery. Before November 9, 7, 40 trucks from Shenyang alone drove to the Soviet Union every day. By the beginning of 60, more than 1945% of the factories in Greater Shenyang had become empty shells, and even the doors and windows had been removed.A total of 11% of the locomotives and 15% of the freight cars in the Northeast Railway were robbed, and most of China's railway materials and almost all of the world's advanced transport vehicles were concentrated in the Northeast.Of course, I still left a little for our party, just enough for our party to fight the civil war with the Kuomintang.

Every time Wang Zhenyu thinks of this, he will curse angrily: "Little Japanese bastard, bastard."

When we think about our leaders in future generations facing the strong pressure from the United States, while spending money to buy U.S. debt in exchange for peace, they also have to establish strategic partnerships with such evil neighbors as the wife.At this time, Wang Zhenyu especially sympathizes with these leaders. They are not fools, they are really weak and have no diplomacy!This said, in fact, if the family members are of the same mind, how would people outside dare to come to extort money?But why is the family not of one mind?

To go further, Wang Zhenyu concluded that the reason for the tragic and heroic performance of the Kuomintang army during the Anti-Japanese War was not because there was no soldier Zhang Ga.

Of course, there are reasons such as lack of clarity in politics, serious corruption, and backward tactics of the commanders.But it seems that Japan is not going anywhere, right?Why did Japan gain so much since the Meiji Restoration but still embarked on the road of militarism? In the final analysis, these wars and economic gains were not distributed to ordinary Japanese citizens, but a lot of them fell to the chaebols And in the pockets of the bureaucracy.So in that era, the Japanese nobles began to surpass the Chinese in height, but the nationals did not have this opportunity.The height of the Japanese surpassed the Chinese in an all-round way. That was after the American emperor occupied Japan and China began the Great Leap Forward (the Japanese people once again thanked the evil American emperor). The typical representatives of this change during the same period are North Korea and South Korea.

In Wang Zhenyu's opinion, there is only one main reason why the Kuomintang can't do anything against Little Japan, and that's weapons.

A typical example, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the commanders are still the same batch of commanders, and the soldiers are still the same batch of soldiers.Before they were equipped with all beautiful weapons, they were chased by Little Japan.But after switching to American weapons, it was their turn to chase after the little Japanese ass and beat them.At this time, the reasons summed up by the literati, such as malnutrition, farmers, obvious officers and soldiers, and low education, all failed. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese Expeditionary Force surprised the British (who made your country only allocate funds for the navy? with).

However, the advancement of weapons is based on a strong industrial foundation. Strictly speaking, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is the U.S. military, and their logistical guarantee is supported by the U.S. industrial foundation.Therefore, the power of this same army would be greatly reduced in civil war, and Jiang Guangtou simply did not have the ability to maintain such an army for a long-term battle.It is even unrealistic to reorganize such an army after it has been wiped out, so blindly emphasizing the decisive role of the spirit is anti-human, and ignoring the material itself is anti-materialism, which belongs to serious idealism.And the later history is exactly that the hat of idealism staring at materialism appeared majestically on the land of China, and everyone believed in it.

Wang Zhenyu's mind became active. Now that the root of the Kuomintang's losses has been found, can he, who comes from later generations, use the nine or even twelve provinces of southern China to establish a powerful and powerful political system in the situation of the division of the North and the South in 1916? The industrial base is coming?

This project is too big. The foundation of the military is industry, and the foundation of industry is commerce and agriculture. This is a chain of links, and you can't just do whatever you want.We still have to respect objective laws. Thinking of this, Wang Zhenyu suddenly felt that a new era is coming, and this era belongs to all Chinese people, not his own business, so he has to go to Shanghai, bosses, pay for it ! (The bosses cried out that we just paid for the stock at the China Development Corporation, and Wang Zhenyu said with a ferocious face: "It's not enough!")

Chapter 288 The Industrial Age ([-])

Wang Zhenyu thought about it carefully, and there are several basic skills that must be solidly developed in the development of industry.

The first is talents, especially specialized technical talents. When I was in Xiangxi, I organized overseas students to go to Europe and the United States to study industrial technology. These people are about to graduate and come back, but these talents are just replica talents.Let alone R&D talents, there are not many in China.If it weren't for Luxembourg's factors, the million-ton steel plant in Liuzhou would be a complete nonsense.But it seems that the appearance of this steel plant in Asia is not normal, sin, sin!This problem is a problem.
