New Warlords 1909

You can see how big the difference is. One is to order them to send troops to contribute, and they don’t give a few jumpers, while the other is to send guns and money to strengthen their armed forces, but they only ask them to issue a telegram recognizing the Nanjing Temporary Central Committee. , Which one is better for this deal is self-evident!

However, Yan Xishan and others are not new and tender, especially Yan Xishan, a graduate of the sixth batch of Lutu, has been entrenched in Shanxi for several years in history. Next, he and Chen Shufan from Shaanxi almost reached a consensus, advancing and retreating in unison.Neither responded directly to Beiyang nor responded positively to Nanjing. On the one hand, one or two regiments of troops were sent to Fengtian Factory, but Beiyang had to spend money on armaments and military expenses!On the other hand, thanks to the generosity of the Huafei National Defense Forces, he declared that he would never be an enemy of the National Defense Forces again.

They are willing to buy a batch of arms from the autonomous region at a high price, strengthen our armed forces, and join the Japanese army in an all-out attack on the Central Plains. They are willing to assist the National Defense Forces in resisting foreign humiliation. As for the matter of electrification from the Nanjing Provisional Central Committee, they also completely avoid it. .This cunning ability is a testament to his cultivation. At this time, Fengtian's Zhang Zuoshuang is also hesitant.To be honest, in his personal opinion, Hua Fei's call back was sincere and very reasonable, but after so many years of climbing and rolling in the Northeast Building, he finally became the king of a place, and he knew very well that once he left this site, he wanted to come back.

That would be far away, and even if the louse came back again, I am afraid that whether it is status or power, it is no longer his personal decision. Due to the role of Hua Fei, the butterfly, the focus of Beiyang Department's attention is almost all on The autonomous regions in the south tried their best to win over the Feng family, and because Hua Fei had no direct conflict of interest with Zhang Zuoshuang, he had always maintained a good cooperation with the British family. Since the defeat of Shandong, Japan has also been eager to foster a new power in China. In order to check and balance Huafei, Zhang Zuoshuang's development in the past few years has been smooth, not only because of Beiyang's nominal win over and support, but also a large amount of cooperation and assistance from the autonomous region's industry and commerce, and Japan's Loaning military aid, Fenglou Youshao is indeed one of the top three warlords in China. He not only controlled the three eastern provinces, but also expanded the army.

Following the model of the National Defense Forces, on the basis of the original 27th and 28th divisions in the book, a new 29th division was established and formed as the First Group Army of Fengtian, and the compulsory soldier casting method was implemented not long ago, and recruits from the two divisions were newly recruited. This is not because Jilin also has two divisions of local troops, and Heilongjiang also has one division and two independent brigades. When they are all added up, the troops mobilized by Zhang Zuoshuangan are only nearly 10 people, which is a force that cannot be underestimated. , but now Zhang Zuoshuang is facing the 30 Japanese and North Korean coalition forces. Whether in terms of quantity or quality, Zhang Zuoshuang does not think that his troops can compete with the Japanese army. Zhang Zuoshuang was completely hopeless.

Even if the strength of one division and two independent brigades in Heilongjiang fell, Zhang Zuoshuang felt that the speed was not fast enough. Can he still count on those old ghosts in the southern provinces or even Shanxi?

"Father, the latest enemy situation. The Japanese army has divided into two groups. One route has captured Fengcheng. It has now entered Tongyuan Fort. The other route is going south. It seems to be going to Dalian!" Zhang Zuoshuang's eldest son, Zhang Xueliang, who is 19 years old, stood aside and said. He, who just graduated from the Artillery Department of the Military Academy of the Northeast Army, came to his father's military rank as a colonel, "Got it!" Zhang Zuoshuang closed his eyes, thinking about the last decision in his heart. , Zhang Zuoshuang understood that he was absolutely invincible.

What he was thinking about was how to preserve his own strength as much as possible in order to make a comeback.

Originally hoped that Hua Lengzi in the south could send reinforcements, which would allow him to buy more time, but Hua Fei's decision obviously made Zhang Zuoshuang a little bit behind.

Back then, the risks she faced were huge. Zhang Zuoshuang knew very well the original intention of the Japanese to cooperate with him, but she also got a lot of benefits from the Japanese based on the calculation of mutual use. It's a pity that now After the Japanese lost hope in it, Zhang Zuoshuang was the first to send troops to attack him, insisting on getting rid of it first and then quickly.

Space for time?Space for time!Zhang Zuoshuang has been chewing on this vocabulary in his heart. Suddenly, Zhang Zuoshuang opened his eyes, flashing the light of receiving people, and said, "Little six son (Zhang Xueliang's nickname), I will immediately promote you to the rank of major general, and to the commander of the 27th division. The division moved to Shanhaiguan!"

Zhang Zuoshuang finally gave up the decision to enter the customs. Ying not only had realistic considerations, but also because he couldn't bear to see the foundation he had created over the years, and finally handed over all of them to the Japanese. Zhang Zuoqi made second-hand preparations and asked Zhang Xueliang to go to Shanhaiguan. If there is any accident here, it can also ensure that the son and family enter the customs in time to ensure the most basic safety.On the other hand, he fought against the Japanese viciously. Even if he was not a Japanese opponent, let those little devils know that Zhang Zuoshuang is the king of the Northeast. He has been in the Northeast for many years.

It's not that he can only pedal three boats and has no real skills. In case of loss, Zhang Zuoshuang can also retreat to Rehe.Chahar even entered Outer Mongolia. In short, he didn’t want to go to Henan or Shandong. He would stay in someone else’s territory and lose his own foundation. It was Cai Lou, who was recovering in the United States, when he heard that the Japanese had launched a war against China and openly dispatched the army to attack the three eastern provinces. Cai Tong was furious.Regardless of the doctor's observation and advice, he resolutely decided to return to China early. However, when the ship sailed to Hong Kong, Cai Feng was assassinated and shot by unidentified armed men just as he stepped off the pier. .The old injury just healed, and the new injury was added. I don't know whether it is Tian Juying or a person's fate that cannot be changed after all. Cai Feng's fate, can it be that fate cannot escape after all?

When Hua Fei learned that Cai Qi was shot, he was discussing with his staff about the Japanese invasion of the three eastern provinces!So I heard that Cai Feng was assassinated.Nian Fei's first thought was not who did it, but could this really be fate?

"How is Mr. Songpo's condition now?" Hua Fei asked anxiously after he had reacted, "He is being treated in a hospital in Hong Kong. The situation is not optimistic, and his life is not out of danger yet!"

Adjutant Wu Tao immediately said, "Have you found out who did it?"

Wu Tao shook his head, and Hua Fei didn't stop. It happened that most of the staff and officers were here, so he immediately asked, "Tell me, who would do it?"

Li Yue, who has been following Hua Fei these days, immediately replied, "First, it may be them in the south, because once Cai Jing comes back, their rights will be weakened. This is what they don't want to see, so their The suspicion is the biggest. Second, we, don’t be surprised, and because we don’t know Cai Feng’s position, if we assassinate him, one can maintain the current situation, and two, we can blame others, so it’s not impossible!”

"You know if we have done it, so stop talking nonsense and talk about other things quickly!" Hua Fei interrupted Li Yue. I will also tell you the possibility, the above is an example!

Different "Third, Japanese! Because no matter what Cai Feng's position is, he is Chinese. It can be seen from the date of his early return to China that Cai Alligator's return to China will definitely not make life easier for the Japanese. , Therefore, the Japanese will kill this kind of flame! Fourth, because the Northern Army was killed by Cai Feng, the southern army will not be unified. The southern army will not be unified, which will have advantages and disadvantages for them. So I think this possibility is the third from the bottom. It is only higher than the possibility of our assassination of Cai Xiang and the fifth possibility! Fifth, it was completely a manslaughter, the shooter did not intend to kill him, it was a complete mistake!"

"Fuck! Go to hell! F*ck, it's just nonsense! Damn it, this is too much nonsense, you deserve to be the first staff officer!" There was a lot of discussion in the meeting room, and he said Yes, I secretly admired them in my heart, they were all there, "Japanese!" Hua Fei gritted his teeth lightly, suppressing the joy in his heart, and said, "Mr. Baili, you and Mr. Songpo are It’s a classmate. I want you to go to Hong Kong to see Mr. Songpo on behalf of the Nanjing Provisional Central Committee. By the way, you can learn about the situation. If you can’t change Hong Kong, if conditions permit, transfer Mr. Songpo to the United States or send him to Shanghai. !"

"But Commander, at this time" Jiang Fangzhen received such a response for the first collective military meeting not long after he returned from Hubei.Of course Yan hopes to go to Hong Kong, but in the current situation, he hopes to stay on the battlefield.

"Don't worry. In a short time, the army will not have more wars. Soldiers need to rest. Our guns, weapons and ammunition need to be stockpiled!

253 The Poisonous Man Returns to the Rivers and Lakes

"Commander, I have an idea!" Li Yue said suddenly, "Speak!" As soon as Li Yue had an idea, someone would definitely cry.Most of the time, those who are being made to cry are unaware of the plan or conspiracy against them, and come out of the hands of Li Yue, "I think we can take advantage of the assassination of Mr. Cai Feng!" See Hua Fei No objection was made, Li Yue continued, "Mr. Cai Luo was assassinated this time, speculations and rumors began to spread, and what we can use is this rumor, whether it is us, Beiyang, or Tang Dynasty in the south. Ji Qiang and the others are all suspects. Let’s put the facts aside for the time being. I think we can direct the rumors to Beiyang and the South, and reduce the reputation of our National Defense Forces that has been damaged by the use of force to reunify.”

"And we must direct the focus of the rumors to the south, accelerate the division of the southern army, choose the right opportunity, and calm the situation in the south! If the south is certain, the overall situation of the whole unification will be settled!"

Typical classic psychological warfare, this point is no longer unfamiliar to the National Defense Forces. Hua Feigang was still thinking about it in his heart. He never thought that Li Yue not only thought of it, but also seemed to have a complete plan in his heart. The first staff officer, worthy of his rapid promotion from an assistant to the staff department, "I will leave this matter to you to handle with full authority, you only need to submit two reports to me and the headquarters afterwards! Today's military discussion focuses on the military movements of the Japanese army, you all talk about it, is there any way?"

"Commander, I think the Japanese army's attack on the Northeast is an opportunity for us!" It was Li Yue who spoke first, but if this sentence was heard by the public, it would be lively. Fortunately, all the people present were the national defense forces The core of Li Yue’s direct lineage, and everyone has long been familiar with Li Yue’s style, “The Japanese army seems to have 30 troops, and they are menacing, but 10 of them are Korean puppet troops. Of the remaining 20 Japanese troops, only one-third are veterans who have participated in the war, and the rest are almost all newly recruited recruits. If the non-elite ace army is in a tie and wants to pose a threat to us, it’s almost enough to send another 30 elite troops!”

"In addition, they rely on North Korea to attack the Northeast and stay away from our defense zone. If they want to fight a long-distance war, the degree of difficulty will increase. I think they will not enter the customs in a short time. They seem to believe that we will not send troops. Northeast, choose this gap to train their recruits, I think this is their fundamental purpose!"

"They have their wishful thinking, and we also have our own considerations. The Japanese army expelled Zhang Zuoshuang, leaving Lao Zhang with only two roads. One is to enter the customs, and the other is to stick to Fengtian. If he chooses the former, the Fengjun who has lost its base , it is equivalent to a tiger without teeth, which removes another major obstacle to our military unification plan. If you choose the latter, they are almost a dead end for Fengjun!"

Hua Fei had to interrupt Li Yue's words, "Let's not forget that the fundamental purpose of unification is to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, for the strength of the country and the dignity of the nation, and for you and me to wear this suit, Standing in front of the world, you can hold your head high and feel proud and proud!"

"We can temporarily let the Japanese army toss in the Northeast, because it is too dangerous for us to withdraw troops to reinforce the Feng army. However, this does not mean that we are silent about the Japanese attack on the Northeast. What I want to remind you is that we are already The people of the interim central government, the interests that our National Defense Forces are defending are no longer the rights and interests of the autonomous region, but the future and destiny of the entire country!"

"For the army, we can adopt the strategy of exchanging space for time, but in terms of diplomacy, we must exert strong pressure on the Japanese side. In addition, although our navy is still in a stage of rapid development, on the blue ocean, we It must be full of aggressiveness and muster the spirit and consciousness of attacking. The Japanese navy is not strong enough to make us hide in the port. We must use artillery and planes to tell the Japanese that it is impossible to block us!"

"I, Mao Zhongfang, Commander of the First Fleet of the Navy, represent the officers and men of the First Fleet, and swear to the commander that I will fight to the death with the Japanese Navy. I will not destroy the enemy's combined fleet, and I will not return to Hong Kong!" Mao Zhongfang immediately stood up and said to Hua Fei. With a firm determination to fight, Hua Fei shook his hand. Mao Zhongfang's personality is good in everything, and under his management, the First Fleet has developed very fast. He often caters respectfully, making people feel that he is more like a soldier than a politician. "We and the Japanese Navy have a battle that will determine each other's national destiny, but it is definitely not now. Although we have obtained many compensation ships from Germany. The strength is great. But at the same time, we must also see that our shipbuilding industry still needs to continue to improve. At present, all we can do is to maintain and repair these giant ships. If we want to build them, I am afraid that we need the continuous efforts of the technicians and workers in the shipyard. !"

"The navy also needs to learn from the army. It requires innovation in tactics. Don't fight head-on with them! Our advantage is the huge strategic maneuvering space and reserve resources! Whether it is their combustion medium boilers or heavy oil boilers, as long as the energy fuel is cut off , their warships are completely abandoned"

"However, similar to the subterranean tactics we launched before, it is really a last resort. It is a double-edged sword that cannot be used by Wan Zhaoji. In the case of Liu, we should not use it anymore!"

"The advantages we still maintain are our submarines and air force! It is difficult for us to make breakthroughs in a short period of time on the sea, so we must expand our advantages under the sea and in the air, and use our strengths to avoid weaknesses. You must be soberly aware that we and Japan The war will be a long-term process, and it will not be accomplished overnight!"

Different "Commander, after the Unification War, the government's military expenditures have been greatly increased. If the war does not stop in a short period of time, and the Japanese army continues to spend at sea, the military expenditures will undoubtedly increase. If the limit is exceeded, our finances will not be able to support it!" Guo Tong, who was in charge of the equipment logistics, said, he was Hua Fei's first security guard, and since he was in charge of the equipment logistics office, he has worked very hard. Hua Fei frowned lightly, feeling that he had overlooked this point. Although his personal wealth expanded rapidly, no one in China could surpass him in wealth, but After all, it is private wealth, not the same as the government's finances!

"We can increase taxes, Commander. Since you entered the autonomous region, you have been implementing extremely favorable policies for industry and commerce, a large number of tax cuts and exemptions, and even subsidies! But now a few years have passed, and all walks of life in the autonomous region As long as the established tax quota is properly restored, we can increase our fiscal revenue by nearly [-] million Singapore dollars, which can greatly relieve our financial pressure!" Although this is a military meeting, most military generals I am mobilizing troops and arranging garrison workers, so I am not in Shanghai.

In addition to the staff officers in the headquarters, all the participants were members of the Office of Changing Regulations. Although finances were not Shen Xian's business, he still reminded, "No!" Hua Fei raised his hand and objected, "Although after the first With the good opportunity of World War I, all walks of life in our autonomous region, especially the national light industry, have developed at a great speed, but at the same time we must also see that we are still in an initial stage, and the strength and foundation of various industries It is still very weak. With the increase of rich productivity in various countries, a large number of foreign businessmen's products flock to our national industry, which has a huge impact on our national industry. If this is the case, when we raise taxes, although it can solve short-term financial problems, But that is not the fundamental method, on the contrary, it will damage the progress of national industry, and make countless emerging national capitalists hate our war, so the gain outweighs the loss!"

"We can use an excuse to raise tariffs. Now that the overall domestic situation is basically settled, even if foreigners are dissatisfied with raising tariffs at this time, there is not much to do! Moreover, we can also use the excuse that Japan invaded our country, which led to a sharp increase in our military expenditure. The purpose of tariffs is to Increase fiscal revenue, protect national security, stimulate foreigners from the side, and put pressure on Japan!"

"Also, can we issue additional war certificates?"

"Report to the President!" said Xu Zhenfei, Director of Financial Affairs of the Provisional Government, "When the commander entered the autonomous region, he issued a huge amount of deeds, but these deeds were all paid off one after another, which made our autonomous region's credibility strong at home and abroad. Due to the huge investment in internal infrastructure, the government has issued nearly 20 million Singapore dollars in construction performance bonds every year in recent years, more than half of which are purchased by overseas Chinese and even foreigners. At present, the government’s total external debt has reached It has reached more than [-] billion Singapore dollars, or about one billion U.S. dollars. The scale of negative performance has reached the limit.

"No problem!" Hua Fei waved his hand, "Immediately issue me a war certificate worth one billion Singapore dollars, with the lowest interest rate, ten years! No matter what, we must try our best to protect our military expenditure! It's not that I am warlike, but We have to fight!"

"One billion Singapore dollars? Ten years? The lowest interest rate?" Xu Zhenfei almost fainted in surprise. He even wanted to ask Hua Fei, do you understand what is called a long-term low-return certificate? It's called hell!We must know that more than half of the self-government's more than 20 billion SGD construction performance certificates were purchased by overseas Chinese and foreigners, and they were sold every year. Why did those foreigners apply for purchases?It's not just the credibility and good rate of return of the self-government's performance certificate!

However, Xu Zhenfei knew that when Hua Fei first entered the autonomous region, many people thought it was impossible to issue performance certificates, but the result surprised many people. Hua Fei's huge prestige and influence, inspired by his patriotism, mobilized the whole people to buy war certificates, and he could sell them for seven or eight, but a hundred million!One billion Singapore dollars, equivalent to about 20 million U.S. dollars in performance certificates, what is this concept?At present, the annual military expenditure of the National Defense Forces is only [-] billion Singapore dollars, accounting for nearly one-third of the total financial expenditure. Now the annual fiscal revenue of the original autonomous region is less than one billion yuan, and the total external performance is only more than [-] billion yuan. That's all, that is to say, the one billion new currency war certificate is equivalent to the total military expenditure of three or four national defense forces today, which is equivalent to half of the total external performance of the autonomous region in these years, and the entire Zhouzhi District's annual income does not cost a penny. It is not enough to repay this debt, but is that possible?Those construction certificates need to be paid back partly every year, various constructions, expenses, fees..."

Not to mention these, the crux of the problem is that you are issuing one billion certificates, and it is still the year of the Pixin Factory, and it is still a war certificate!The risk of war certificates is extremely high." If the war is lost, the entity that issued the certificates will withdraw from the calendar stage, and these certificates will become worthless. With the good international credit accumulated over the years, we cannot All destroyed because of this incident!

Xu Zhenfei sorted out the detailed data, theories and rhetoric, and was about to try his best to persuade Hua Fei, but Hua Fei stood up and said, "Let's stop here for the time being, Yuan Li, go and contact the ministers of various countries in Shanghai." Or the consul, just say that we will meet with them collectively to discuss the Japanese invasion of Northeast China!"

"Everyone, for tomorrow, please continue to fight hard!"

"President, great president!" Xu Zhenfei quickly chased him out, and called Hua Fei hastily said, "I have something to say about the war" war certificates, those hearts... I have one billion certificates... six "I know you What are you worrying about!" Hua Fei waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, you can arrange the sale of the performance certificates yourself, and I will decide how much you can sell! In addition, regarding the issue of raising tariffs, the Office of Change Regulations will So I made a suggestion to me, but because the timing was not right, I have been postponed. This time, I need you to sort out a complete tariff increase plan as soon as possible, so as to protect our flourishing light industry and heavy industry. Restricting the import of new production tools and equipment, it is best to increase the quota without causing violent reactions from foreigners, and there must be an adequate strategy of boiling frogs in warm water!"

After Hua Fei finished speaking, he turned around and left in a hurry. Before taking a few steps, he said to the personal guard Sun Ban, "Go and call Fang Rong, go in person, and bring him over alone to my No. [-] residence! "

Fang Rong and his poisonous special forces have been a little silent recently. With the great increase in the strength of the National Defense Forces and the rapid expansion of the intelligence system, coupled with the establishment of the Huafei Guard Division, many tasks of the poisonous people have been shared. In addition, many old poisoners were transferred to the front-line units of various armies to serve as grass-roots officers. Many poisoners' training methods began to be popularized among local troops. The ability of the front-line troops to inspect troops was greatly enhanced. But there is nothing left. Since the implementation of the deep strike plan, the poisonous people seem to have been forgotten in people's memory, and they have not increased, but only maintained at the size of a regiment. However, this does not mean that Hua Fei has given up on the special forces. Although many old poisoners have left the poisonous army, the young people who have joined the poisonous army are all the best fighters in the entire army.

Not only is there similarly harsh selection requirements for personality, human performance and combat achievements, but also the requirements for cultural quality are no less than the standards for lieutenant officers. The champion of the Human Special Forces Team is not only unshakable, but will never be shaken by anyone. The second is Hua Fei's guards. The cruel elimination rate of Duren's one-in-a-hundred choice makes many eliminated people enter The selection of the guards still has a one-in-ten elimination rate, and the second is the intelligence system’s combat value scouts. The intelligence system’s selection of personnel is different from the guards and poisoners, but the combat capabilities of some spies are still very strong. Yes, and secondly, it is the ace elite army of the National Defense Forces, and in this army, the soldiers on duty are the strongest in individual combat capabilities.

It can be said that the Poison Special Forces has risen from the original tactical force to a strategic force. It is directly controlled by Hua Fei and performs difficult, highly confidential and sensitive tasks. When it is not needed, Hua Fei is won't be used, even if used,

It is absolutely silent and calm. The different Hua Fei planned it this way, but Fang Rong and other poisonous people don't necessarily think so. They can only run from this mountain to that Zhize every day, frantically Hell-like training, exhaustion, and tense daily training left everyone no time to think about things they shouldn't think about, so when Fang Rong saw Sun Ban and heard that Hua Fei was going to see him, he didn't even think dirty. There was no time to change the dirty training clothes, so he quickly drove to Hua Fei's residence. This time, he came to make trouble again. Fang Rong seemed to have a premonition that they had something to do, but he didn't expect the premonition to be so accurate. Another deep blow from them?If this is the case, this time he will definitely lead the team himself, and he can't let the guys from Sea Snake divide the prey. When Fang Rong appeared outside Hua Fei's door like this, Hua Fei just looked up and glanced lightly.

Immediately, he regarded him as transparent, and continued to immerse himself in reading a lot of military and government affairs information. Fang Rong was dumbfounded, and the excitement on his face was also suppressed. He stood there and dared not move. Well, all the warriors of the poisonous people are all coaxed by him; they eat raw food alive, drink blood like hair, what are they afraid of?But even so, whenever he stood in front of the weak Hua Fei, Fang Rong couldn't understand why he would be nervous and frightened. When Xiu just leaped, his body would be pierced with at least twenty bullet holes!

However, Fang Rong was not nervous because of this, but because of Hua Fei's silence. What he was nervous about was Hua Fei's disappointment when he raised his eyes just now. What he was afraid of was the fate of their entire poisonous people."

254 Is this also a bet?

After waiting in Hua Fei's study for more than an hour, Fang Rong seemed to want to step out, go out gently, wash and tidy up his dirty work clothes, and when he came back again, Hua Fei was going out a few steps, Just as he was about to get into his special car, "Commander, Si Ru..." In a moment of impatience, Fang Rong couldn't care less about anything else, and rushed up to call Hua Fei to stop him. Hua Fei looked back at Fang Rong, got into the car, and looked Fang Rong, still in a daze, said, "Get in the car!"

Fang Rong was overjoyed, and hurriedly got into the car, although everyone knew that the stricter and colder Hua Commander was to you, in fact, the stricter the requirements and the higher the expectations for you in his heart.All the old people who followed Hua Fei in the first place knew this, but when faced with Hua Fei's indifference, no one would be uneasy. After all, they didn't know what they did wrong. It was different, "Do you know why I am angry?" Fang Rong was lucky, as soon as he got in the car, Hua Fei asked, "I know, because of my military appearance!"
