The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

In the capital, since the Fengbei Army completely occupied the city, Old Zhang brought all his family members in Fengbei over.

I plan to take them to experience the prosperity of the royal city and also experience the glory that the royal family has enjoyed.

At noon, at the dinner table, Lao Zhang and his family sat around the table and ate a relatively simple meal.

When there are not many guests at home, there will not be any big fish or meat on the dinner table, and the staple food will be relatively simple, with occasional buns, steamed buns and rice, but most of the time, it is just coarse grains.

In Zhang's house, this is the rule for eating. If anyone is not used to the food and wants to improve it, then you can go out to eat. As long as you are at home, the standards are all the same.

"You've been in the capital for so many days, are you still used to it?"

At the dinner table, Lao Zhang held a small bowl and asked while eating.

Everyone at the table was stunned and looked up in unison, not knowing who he was talking to.

Only the daughter-in-law noticed something was wrong and quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks to join in the conversation.

"I'm used to it, Dad. It's almost the same here as home. What's there to be uncomfortable with?"

In the Zhang family, the only one who has some respect is Zhang Liuzi's wife.

The rest were either his concubines or his own children, and Old Zhang could beat or scold them as he pleased.

He was only polite to his daughter-in-law. Whenever there was something going on, he would discuss it with her.

The main reason is that she is the eldest in the family and Zhang Liuzi's principal wife. In the future, the Zhang family will definitely need her support and care in all matters inside and outside the family.

Another thing is that their Yu family is not bad either. They are known as the Fengbei God of Wealth and live a more luxurious life than Old Zhang.

So, for various reasons, Mr. Zhang likes and values ​​his daughter-in-law very much.

"You'll get used to it. It'll be warmer in a couple of days, and you can go out for a walk. There are still some interesting places in the capital."

Old Zhang's expression was calm, but his tone was mixed with an undisguised arrogance.

"Before, I came here just to look around, but now it's different. The capital is our backyard, there's no place we can't go."

"Dad, playing is a small matter. What did I tell you last time, how's the research going?"

On the side, Zhang Liuzi, who had been silent for a long time, turned his head to look at his old father and asked.

"What's the matter?"

Old Zhang couldn't remember it for a moment and scratched his head in confusion.

He was so busy with so many things that day that he couldn't even think about them without someone reminding him.

"Join the army and establish a proper military academy!"

Seeing that he didn't care at all, Zhang Liuzi immediately lost his appetite and began to advise him with a serious expression.

"What era is it now? Talent is the most important thing. Your old brothers are indeed good and they are good at helping you conquer the world, but that doesn't mean they will always be good."

"Don't you understand? We must be forward-looking and have professional and scientific talent training channels."

"Hey, are you trying to teach me a lesson?"

After listening to him ramble on for so long, Lao Zhang agreed with him, but still felt a little uncomfortable.

He knew more about the internal affairs of the military than anyone else, and he knew that his son's words made sense.

But when I heard him say that, it felt so awkward!

Who is the father and who is the daddy?

When will it be his turn to teach me in a high-handed manner?

"Look, look, let's talk about something serious. You always use your status to pressure others."

Zhang Liuzi expected him to say that, so he turned his gaze to the crowd, staring at them and complained helplessly.

"I know you are my dad and you will always be my dad, but does that have anything to do with what I'm saying?"

"Times are changing, and everyone is working hard in secret. When the tide recedes, we'll find out who's been running naked!"

puff……

The concubine who was eating quietly opposite couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

She likes watching these two men bickering with each other, it's more interesting than watching a play.

"cough……"

Old Zhang secretly glared at his concubine, indicating that she was a little serious and there was a child at the table, so she should be careful about the impact.

"I understand your desire to innovate and cultivate talent, and that's what I want, but it has to be done bit by bit."

Zhang Ye was patient and planned to have a good talk with his son about this issue.

After all, it is because of his youth. Zhang Liuzi is still young and cannot see the ins and outs here clearly. He talks about innovation and cultivating young new forces all day long.

To be honest, this direction is correct, but if you want to do it, there are some tricks.

It's not like he can just get a piece of land and a bunch of young people to do it on impulse. Although he can do it that way, he won't achieve the effect he wants.

"A little more?"

Zhang Liuzi couldn't stand his slow character. He was always slow in doing things. If he continued like this, there would be no development for the Fengbei Army.

"Do you know what the Independence Army is like?"

"In a force of 400,000 men, the average age of mid- and high-level officers is no more than 30 years old!"

"The corps commanders are all young men in their twenties. They are full of ideas when it comes to fighting, brave, resourceful, and passionate. Under the leadership of such leaders, the soldiers at the bottom are like chicken blood, roaring and charging forward."

Recalling his recent trip to Hong Kong, Zhang Liuzi made no secret of the envy in his eyes, and every word he said touched the old man's heart.

"The example is right before your eyes, can't you see it?"

"In the future, only by having a younger military and younger and more professional command and management teams can we win battles and fight beautifully!"

"Otherwise, do you expect those old guys to fight realistically? Do they know what coordinated operations are? Do they know what a layered infantry-tank advance is? Do they know what infantry-artillery coordination is?"

"Times are changing. They won't wait for anyone. While you're enjoying your comfort, your opponents are making progress little by little!"

Quiet! After Zhang Liuzi finished speaking, the whole living room became eerily quiet!

Everyone who was eating put down their bowls and chopsticks and left the room in tacit understanding, leaving the father and son staring at each other, neither of them saying a word.

"Don't stare at me. It's useless even if you stare me to death..."

After a while, Zhang Liuzi couldn't stand his father's gaze anymore and lowered his head in a timid manner.

He felt that he was right. The future development had already begun to take shape. If the Fengbei Army could not keep up, it would definitely be left behind.

"cough……"

Old Zhang coughed lightly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and sighed.

"Today, it's just the two of us, no quarreling, just some heartfelt words."

He strongly agreed with his son's ideas and remarks just now, and even wanted to applaud him and ask him to speak at the headquarters meeting.

To be fair, Mr. Zhang doesn't want to make changes. Doesn't he know his own shortcomings?

He knew that he understood the Fengbei Army's chronic illness and the deep-seated pain better than anyone else.

But he had no choice. The current situation did not give him time to perform surgery.

In Fengbei, the Sakura people were watching covetously and studying all day long how to swallow up their territory step by step.

Not to mention the situation inside and outside the capital. There are still 70,000 to 80,000 remnants of the Duan faction in the northern border, and the Feng faction army in Zhili Province has not yet withdrawn, with a full 200,000 people stockpiled in the surrounding areas.

Does he dare to move?

Even if we set up a military academy or military officer school now, it would be useless!

If you don't deal with the people above you, everything you do will be in vain. You will only have a group of gilded dung beetles asking you for money and official positions!
