Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Prime Minister Albert, who was merciless towards gcists, raised his glass and said to Wang Chonghui: "Dear Chinese friend, I got some news from Gustav. It is said that you can help us in Germany, right? Recently The situation here is really bad, the price of a piece of bread has reached [-] marks, and the French are still forcing us to pay back the money, it seems that they will not be reconciled if they don’t turn Germany into a ****.”

Wang Chonghui nodded and said: "On behalf of my country, I must apologize to my German friends. We had no choice but to participate in the European War. From the bottom of our hearts, our modern army was built with the help of German friends. The Nationalist Government announced its participation in the war, and our national government, as a local government, had to implement the orders of the central government. However, the situation has changed now. I believe your country’s diplomats in Beijing have also reported that in September last year, the Beiyang government had lost control due to internal strife. The actual control of our local government. Even their army was severely damaged by our national government army in the Shandong area when they were in absolute superiority. Now they don't dare to tell us what to do. So our national government decided Drinking Water and Thinking of the Source helps our German friends through cooperation. Of course, we also hope to strengthen our own strength through cooperation with Germany, overthrow our central government, and complete the reunification of the entire country. As for our credibility, I believe Luxembourgers are in China's experience is the best proof..."

Prime Minister Albert nodded and said: "Well, I believe this. I remember that your country's army in Europe recently escorted a couple from the East to become the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. Is there such a thing?"

Wang Chonghui said with a smile: "There is such a thing. The couple is Wang Zhenpeng, the younger brother of Wang Zhenyu, the highest military officer of our national government, and his wife, Princess Charlotte. Well, they should be called His Royal Highness Charlotte now."

Albert signaled Wang Chonghui to follow him to leave the living room and enter a room. Wang Chonghui and Yu Dawei walked in and found that this was the private study of the Krupp family, which was filled with books and exquisite cultural relics, including cultural relics from China. The second zodiac sign, seeing this cultural relic, the young Yu Dawei couldn't help showing a trace of displeasure on his face.Gustav Krupp, Karl Friedrich, and other seven or eight big German capitalists and military and political figures had already sat in it. Gustav, who was a diplomat, was the first to capture the translator Yu Dawei. The displeasure flashed across his face. During his subsequent trip to China, Gustav gave a lot of Chinese cultural relics collected by the Krupp family to the Chinese revolutionary Wang Zhenyu. The students are very satisfied.

"We hope that our cooperation is all-round. On the one hand, it can enhance our China's strength, so that we can avoid the oppression of Britain and France in Asia in the future; on the other hand, we can reserve enough power for our German and Italian friends." Wang Chonghui Soon began to sell their plans to the German controllers "First, we hope to cooperate with German companies in all aspects of steel, transportation construction, electrification and military projects. The bigger the better, the specific details I suggest It will be finalized when your country's business delegation visits China. The second point is that we need a large number of German technicians and scientific researchers. The former is for the production needs of enterprises, and the latter is for all projects to be jointly researched by China and Germany to share the results. Thirdly The point is, we want to cooperate in all aspects of the military, from the navy to the air force to the army. Strictly speaking, we need the help of Germany. Although Germany lost the war, our leaders insisted that it was not because of the German army. The reason is that you just lost in the background and decision-making. The German army will still be the most powerful existence on this planet in the future. Specifically, we need a large number of instructors from Germany to strengthen and build our army. To be precise Our army needs to be equipped with tens of thousands or even more German military officers in the future, and the salaries are paid by us..."

Chapter 421 1918 (six)

Hans von Sickert, the founder of the German Wehrmacht after the First World War in history, a Prussian who won the nickname "Sphinx" (Sphinx) for his taciturn nature and modest way of life General's son.At this moment, after listening to Yu Dawei's translation, the blood in my heart couldn't help but boil.Since the end of the war, Germany has fallen into unprecedented turmoil and chaos, and most of this is attributed to the incompetence of the German army.Today, he heard such a high evaluation of the German army from the diplomatic representatives of the hostile side, and he finally knew what it means to be defeated.He who has always been used to reservations proposed to Marshal Hindenburg, the current commander-in-chief of the German Army for the first time: "I am willing to be the person in charge of such a military cooperation project, so as to preserve a little vitality for the German national defense force. Your Excellency, Marshal, please don't reject me. It is a disgrace to have a country without defense."

The conversation that followed became more specific. Wang Chonghui actually knew nothing about military affairs, but it didn't matter. The role of diplomats was to express the meaning of the superior with the most appropriate opinion.So he kept Wang Zhenyu's request in mind early: "We need the design drawings and experimental data of mp18 automatic submachine guns, army heavy artillery, tanks and other military equipment. At the same time, we hope to cooperate with your country in terms of submarines, battleships, and combat aircraft. Cooperative production, we guarantee that once our German friends regain their vitality, the German friends of our production can recover half of the cost price..."

Such a large-scale and secret cooperation project is obviously not something that can be negotiated at a private gathering. Next, Major General Huang Shaohong, the head of the military delegation who appeared in France on behalf of the Nationalist Government, and Major General Rundstedt, the representative of the German Wehrmacht, held the first meeting. A secret meeting first reached an agreement on the dispatch of the military advisory group, and conducted preliminary discussions on the basic cooperation methods and directions.

It is said to be a discussion, but it is actually a process in which the Chinese present their own favorable treatment and conditions, and the Germans then counter-offer.

Before Huang Shaohong left for Germany, he was interviewed by Wang Zhenyu alone for more than three hours. Wang Zhenyu shared his thoughts with Huang Shaohong.This not only makes Huang Shaohong feel that he is trusted, but also feels a heavy responsibility.

So Huang Shaohong finally came up with a plan to hire the German guy after thinking about it for many times:

The first cooperation plan is to build a model army in the army. The characteristics of this army are that all soldiers are 16 to 20 years old, have received high-level cultural education, and have the necessary German or English training.The establishment of the entire army is divided into four reorganized divisions according to the agreement, but not all are the army. The specific composition is 2 army infantry divisions, 1 army mechanized division (composed of cavalry and tanks), 1 air force division (including 120 This type of combat aircraft consists of a fighter brigade (60 fighters), two bomber brigades (36 bombers), and a reconnaissance aircraft squadron (24 planes).In this large-scale army, all battalion commanders, regimental commanders, and division commanders are appointed by demotion. More importantly, squad leaders, platoon leaders, and company commanders are all appointed from the German army. The staff officer appointed the German army.According to the regulations, the equipment of this army will introduce mp18 submachine guns and tanks.

The second cooperation plan is to gather the best German military advisers to form Wang Zhenyu's staff team.Wang Zhenyu was actually not very satisfied with the general staff headed by Wan Yaohuang. Although Wan Yaohuang himself had no problem with his abilities, the staff under his command were amateurs.There is no way, the expansion of the youth army is too fast, and many people go to military academy more like gold-plated.

The third cooperation plan is to absorb a large number of German instructors in the universities of the Navy, Air Force, and Army to complete the final upgrade of the combat effectiveness of the youth army.

The fourth cooperation plan is cooperation in the military industry. Although it involves the military, it mostly involves Krupp and Siemens.

As for the candidates for the military adviser, Wang Zhenyu personally selected several candidates: the army, Guderian (the father of the German blitzkrieg in history), Model (the German defense master in history), Rommel (the desert fox in history), Manstein (strategist during World War II), Goering (air combat hero) and so on.

In the following two years, as many as 200 million Germans finally made the trip, including about 130 million family members, and 65 industrial technicians, scientific researchers, and education and training personnel.The number of military personnel also reached an astonishing 3, and a large number of unemployed German officials found new jobs and rice bowls in the far east.

Not only the traditional Junker capitalists in Germany, but also a large number of Jews have found new business opportunities in China. According to incomplete statistics, in just three years from 1918 to 1920, a total of more than 60 billion US dollars poured into the Chinese market. As a result, the entire Chinese economy has experienced a blowout growth in just three years. Among them, the US capital accounted for 25 billion US dollars, ranking first, and the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family invested 22 million US dollars; Overseas Chinese from all over the country invested 13 billion dollars in their hometowns, occupying the second place. At this time, we have to lament that the Chinese overseas Chinese are really making extraordinary efforts in creating wealth; the investment from Europe is only 70 billion dollars, of which Germany actually occupies the second place. 80%, and in China's technology introduction cooperation, Germany accounts for [-]% of the total, and Germans have appeared in mining, metallurgy, manufacturing, military industry, heavy industry and other fields. . .

At this time, the Japanese were still arguing over whether to send troops to Russia, and they didn't notice that the lion beside them, which had been sleeping for nearly 300 years, was entering a second wave of development, and it was not far from fully waking up.

Because of the success of secret diplomacy this time, Wang Chonghui was appointed as the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Congress and the vice minister of foreign affairs shortly after returning to China.

As for Yu Dawei, because of his outstanding performance in this negotiation, he received a commendation order from the National Security Bureau, and was later awarded military status. According to his personal wishes, he was arranged to work in the Armament Department system with the rank of major.

On September 1918, 9, the German military advisory group led by Marshal Feng Sickert arrived in China, and Wang Zhenyu went to Shanghai to pick up the ship in person.Almost from this moment, the youth army has entered the second large-scale upgrade state, and the strength of the entire army has thus risen to a higher level.But what is surprising is that almost from this moment on, rigidity, planning, and bravery have become the core of this army.The whole of Asia and even the world began to tremble uncontrollably. . .

Beijing, the Forbidden City, although the Republic of China was only seven or eight years old, the peeling white paint on the palace walls could not help showing a decadent atmosphere.

It's not that Aixinjueluo's family doesn't care about the dignity of the royal family anymore, but that life has become more and more difficult these years.

In the third year of Xuantong, the last year of the Qing Empire, the sound of revolutionary guns has been heard throughout the south, and the financial collapse of the Manchu government. On the one hand, the rich and oily princes and nobles are unwilling to spend half of their own money to subsidize the country. Disrupting the party, I'm sorry, I don't have the skills.

So the Qing Empire collapsed under the efforts of such a group of people. From this point of view, in terms of contribution to the revolutionary cause, Prince Qing definitely ranks above Sun Wen. . .

As a result, Yuan Shikai exchanged the preferential treatment clause of 400 million silver dollars per year in exchange for the abdication of the Qing emperor. The price of co-authoring the emperor is just that. After calculation, Prince Qing's wealth can completely be the emperor for 25 years.And the soldiers of the Eight Banners, who boasted of being brave, hurriedly went to the teahouse to take a walk after receiving the last banner salary. As for the life and death of the Qing Dynasty, they have nothing to do with them. What about next year's salary?Let's talk about tomorrow!

The annual royal abdication bonus of 400 million yuan was actually discounted in 1915, but more than half of it was still available.The only thing that made the royal family dissatisfied was that Yuan Shikai forcibly took the three halls into the ownership of the Republic of China government in order to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

After Yuan Shikai failed to proclaim himself emperor and died, the financial crisis of the Beiyang government further intensified. Duan Qirui still remembered the past, and saved the 400 million a year's expenses to 100 million. Naturally, he did not deny the rest, but defaulted.It's okay, 100 million silver dollars can almost support a division of the army in Sichuan during the Republic of China.There are not too many people in the palace now, so it is enough to make do with it.

The real tragedy happened last year. As a result of the Zhiwan war, Duan Qirui's Anhui warlords withdrew from the stage of history in an instant, so even 100 million became a problem.

It was Zhang Zuolin who replaced Duan Qirui in the power of Beijing, and Beijing became the site of the Northeast Fengjun, but the Fengjun didn't pay attention to the emperor of the Forbidden City at all. You must know that when the emperor gained power, our old general Zhang was still there. Became a bandit between the white mountains and the black waters.

So Zhang Zuolin not only scolded and sent away the representatives of the Qing Dynasty, but even considered whether to get some money from the palace to supplement his family's lack of military expenditure.On the spot, several representatives of the cleaning room were so frightened that they crawled out.

Zhang Zuolin is indeed in financial difficulty now. It was easy to recruit troops at the beginning. The 20 Fengjun became 70 just like blowing up a balloon.It is easy to ask God to send God away, but it is easy to expand the army and difficult to disarm. Zhang Zuolin is now worrying about the food of his brothers every day. . .

As for the Forbidden City, I'm sorry, I couldn't take care of it, so the entire imperial city couldn't help but fall down, and the clan couldn't do anything about it. . .

Chapter 422

Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese have never given up their connection with the Aixinjueluo family. After all, although the Aixinjueluo family lost China and even lost the birthplace of the Northeast, they were among the Mongolian princes. The influence is still huge and cannot be ignored.

However, because there are huge variables in Japan's own China policy, the Japanese government has always maintained contact with the princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty through Japanese langs like Kawashima Langsuke.And these lang people are not fuel-efficient lamps. Even without the support of their own domestic government, they will mobilize those princes who never forget to restore their ancestral foundations from time to time to spend their private money to carry out the Manchurian autonomy movement in Northeast Mongolia.

But everything changed with Wang Yaqiao's establishment of the Iron-Blood Comrade Association (actually the North China Intelligence Network) in North China. The first unlucky person was Kawashima Langsu, who was always by the side of Prince Su. He was cruelly castrated. This made him eventually have to commit suicide, and subsequent attacks against Japanese langs became frequent.

To what extent?At first, the Japanese envoy had to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang Government to protest in person, but later it turned into submitting a protest letter. For whatever reason, throwing half of Beijing up and down can't solve the case.Over time, even the Japanese, who are as nervous as they are, lose their temper after being tossed about by these officials.

Despite this, the connection between Japanese diplomats and the Manchu imperial family still exists, but their current power is much less powerful than when they were able to steal the last emperor from under the noses of the Nationalist government in history.

Wu Junmei, the new director of the Beijing station of the National Security Bureau, held an important meeting in the old stronghold, Wang Lifa's teahouse.

"Comrades, before the meeting, let me introduce a comrade who came with me. His name is Ming Dahu, and his code name is Hu. From now on, he will be the captain of our Beijing station action team."

The other four people in the room were all old intelligence officers, and they had been working here since then. They looked at Ming Dahu, a very young lieutenant colonel, so they all nodded and said nothing in welcome.

The expressionless Ming Dahu didn't say anything, and it was over after paying a military salute.

This young man from Jingzhou, Hunan, joined the army in the second year of the Republic of China. He was met by Gong Peng who was passing by because he killed someone in the new barracks.He was then lucky enough to participate in a series of secret operations, including capturing Wang Zhengya alive, and because of his high loyalty, he became the only one who survived among the thirteen dead soldiers that Gong Peng first trained.

After He Jian's downfall, Gong Peng was not implicated. Even with Wang Zhenyu's acquiescence and support to balance the internal affairs of the National Security Bureau, he and Wang Yaqiao became the two largest forces in the National Security Bureau.

If Ming Dahu followed the right person, he would naturally have a prosperous official career.Huang Dehu, who followed him out of the village at the beginning, served as a soldier for three years and was about to retire to the security force. However, he caught up with the war and was given the opportunity to be promoted to a second lieutenant officer at the front line.Before coming to Beijing, Ming Dahu was already a major lieutenant in the security bureau system, while Huang Dehu was still studying books honestly at the Changsha Security Command Academy for his rank of captain in the security system.

The reason why Gong Peng sent Ming Dahu to Beijing was firstly because Wu Junmei needed people around his direct line, and secondly because Beijing Station belonged to the two major sections of the North China Intelligence Network and the Northeast Intelligence Network, and belonged to Wang Yaqiao's sphere of influence. Without the support of competent personnel, it is difficult for Wu Junmei to make achievements.After thinking about it, Ming Dahu was the most suitable, so a lieutenant colonel sent Ming Dahu over to help.

And Ming Dahu is indeed very powerful. Not only is he outstanding in personal skills, but he also specially brought a mobile squadron from the Northwest Station.It is said that the leader of the Muslims in Northwest China, known as the father of terror, was led by him to lead this squadron into the tiger's den to get rid of him. Afterwards, he was personally received and commended by General Gu Zhenglun, commander of the Northwest Military Police.

This time, Ming Dahu showed his skills as soon as he arrived in Beijing, and personally led a team to execute seventeen senior police officers of the Jingshi Police Department who dared to arrest the National Government agents. These police officers were all transferred from Fengjun to the Jingshi Police Department.After such a big move, the Fengjun side feared that the Southern Nationalist Government would not dare to retaliate, so it could only maintain a restrained attitude towards the increasingly rampant southern agents.

Wu Junmei is actually very satisfied with the current work situation. After all, some high-level government officials in Beijing are secretly flirting with the Nationalist Government in the south, including some senior generals of the Fengjun Army.Therefore, the life of Beijing Station here has become very easy. The real trouble comes from the inside. Before taking office, Wu Junmei was suddenly interviewed by Director Zhou Lan alone.According to Director Zhou's intention, Beijing Railway Station will be upgraded to the same big station as Jiangnan Railway Station and Northwest Railway Station, so Wu Junmei cannot help being tempted.

Wu Junmei, who was not originally a boatman, entered the core of the National Security Bureau by virtue of burning down Ma Jizeng's fleet during the War to Protect the Nation. After more than a year of formal intensive training, he has now obtained the rank of brigadier general.Director Zhou Lan's proposal to upgrade the Beijing station to a super station at this time has a very obvious implication, and the purpose is nothing more than three:

The first is to strengthen intelligence work in North China. According to Zhou Lan's plan, after the Beijing Station is upgraded to the North China Central Station, the areas under its jurisdiction will include Beijing, Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Chahar.In addition to Japan and the Feng faction, the target targets are various social forces accumulated over the years in the northern region, including the Qing Gang, Cao Gang, Yiguandao and other non-governmental organizations.This requires a more elite organization to integrate various resources and lay a solid foundation for the youth army to unify the country in the future.

The second is that Zhou Lan is very worried about Wang Yaqiao's rapid rise. In order to stabilize the current position of the director, it is very necessary to integrate the North China intelligence network that originally belonged to Wang Yaqiao's birthplace.So Wu Junmei, who belongs to He Jian's family, became the sand in Zhou Lan's plan to mix the sand in North China, and now Zhou Lan mixed the sand in.

The third is to stand on three legs. Zhou Lan hopes to support a third force besides Gong Peng and Wang Yaqiao, so that three factions can be formed in the security bureau, and her position as the chief of the bureau can be as stable as Mount Tai.so. . .

Wu Junmei, who has a heavy responsibility, naturally cannot live up to the love of Director Zhou. She has worked very hard since she took office.

"Director Wang, what's the situation? Zhang Zongchang from Shandong sent Shi Congbin to contact you?" Wu Junmei asked Wang Tianmu, the director of the intelligence department of the Beijing Railway Station, a young man from the Northeast. Although he was only in his twenties, he was quite scheming. Deep, with a lot of experience in intelligence collection.

Another characteristic of Wang Tianmu is that he is very knowledgeable about current affairs. When he heard the new station master's question, he immediately stood up respectfully and said, "It's like this. When Shi Congbin found us at the beginning, he came to us through the Jingshi Police Department. We started to hunt down our colleagues on a large scale, we were worried about fraud, so we delayed this matter."
