Chapter 159 There is a way!
(Second update! Please vote for me!)
"Xuzhou? Leng Yuqiu?"
Several words came out of Wei Dongsheng's mouth. He couldn't understand why the chairman mentioned this person at this time.
"Don't you realize the problem yet?"
He raised his eyes and stared at Wei Dongsheng with dark eyes. He was the head of his security department, but why didn't he realize the problem?
"Master, you are worried about Leng Yuqiu's third division."
As soon as Ah Si's words came out, Wei Dongsheng was so annoyed that he didn't even want to bite his tongue. Why didn't he realize such an obvious problem? He couldn't help but look at Ah Si. This person was only 17 years old. Although he was the deputy minister Zhao Pingpu
secretary, but Wei Dongsheng could still guess that this person was actually the "silly" think tank of Zhao Pingpu.
Ah Si became the chairman's servant in New York by chance and has been following the chairman until now. However, Wei Dongsheng understood that this person could never treat him as a simple servant. He could understand English legal works, and he could also learn from Taylor
How could the person who graduated first in Mr.'s scientific management training class be just a simple "servant"? Perhaps the most important reason why the chairman asked him to come to the security department was because he wanted him to work in the security department...
…
Ah Si, who looked at the young master, didn't know what Wei Dongsheng was thinking. For him, doing things and thinking were always very simple. He just did what the young master ordered and didn't let the young master worry.
"Third Division, are you feeling thorn in your heart?"
Li Zicheng hooked his fingers on the ear of the cup with a sad look on his face. Ever since Chen Xiangyun's warning, he had been worrying about this matter. At first, he was worried about Zhang Xun who acted without scruples, but now he is more cold.
Yuqiu.
"We saved Yuan Kewen, so the South no longer needs to be polite to us. Now the South wants to raise its flag, but it is short of money. I'm worried..."
"Chairman, are you worried that those people will use this as an excuse to ask for subsidies?"
“It’s not about money”
Shaking his head, Li Zicheng flatly denied it.
"Money is not an issue. If you can buy peace by spending hundreds of thousands, now...it won't hurt if you give it to them."
Problems that can be solved with money are by no means a big problem, especially when you have no power to rely on. To be precise, in this era when the gun is the grass-headed king, you have no power to protect yourself.
, even the armed police on the island are still in training, everything happened too suddenly.
"The problem is not about money"
Ah Si nodded in agreement. After joining the Security Department, although he was responsible for the training of Security Department staff, he also learned how to collect, organize, and analyze various intelligence.
"If we give money to Sun Wen, Yuan Shikai will definitely think that we have turned to Sun Wen, and he will only be afraid of endless troubles."
Wei Dongsheng followed up and said that when he saw the chairman and Ah Si nodding, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was the head of the security department, he found that he did not have Ah Si's thoughts. He could spend a day doing everything.
After pulling threads between cards, he finally analyzed what he needed. In his opinion, what he needed as the security minister was to listen to the report, so he was at a loss as before.
"Surviving in the cracks, so... it's difficult."
With a long sigh, Li Zicheng felt a headache as he thought about the situation he was about to face.
Wei Dongsheng, who had entered the state, thought for a moment and then asked directly.
"Chairman, do you think that if the Kuomintang really fights with the President, that side will have a greater chance of winning?"
"Yuan Shikai"
Without waiting for the young master to answer, Ah Si answered for the young master.
“After Yuan Shikai took office as the interim president, he immediately used the complexity of the military and the need to save pay as an excuse to force the southern provinces controlled by the Communists to disarm. However, the Nanjing provinces were forced to accept this due to financial pressure and the division of the civilian army into self-defense.
One condition, but on the other hand, Yuan Shikai is aggressively expanding his direct armed forces. Although during the Revolution of 1911, the six towns of Beiyang supported by Yuan Shikai suffered many casualties. In June last year, there were 6,000 soldiers in the second town and 4,000 in the third town.
, there are three thousand people in the four towns, and the casualties are not unreasonable. However, in August last year, Yuan Shikai ordered the recruitment of full strength. As of now, the total number of Beiyang Army and the old army and local army attached to Yuan Shikai exceeds 150,000. Their numbers and equipment are far more than 150,000.
The troops controlled by the Kuomintang in the south were limited. The troops controlled by the Kuomintang were really limited..."
Thinking about the intelligence information collected and compiled after entering the security department, Ah Si wrinkled slightly from time to time and explained while thinking.
"In the Jiangsu direction, the only troops that may be used by the Kuomintang are the First, Third and Eighth Divisions of the Jiangsu Army. The First Division is a mixed bag and cannot be used, so the only troops that can be used by the Kuomintang are the Third Division.
The Eighth Division, and the Third Division stationed in Xuzhou, because Leng Yuqiu is a member of the Tongmenghui, is bound to be used by the Kuomintang, and among these three troops, the Eighth Division has the strongest combat effectiveness..."
Listening to Ah Si's analysis, Li Zicheng nodded from time to time. Ah Si, this kid, always has some strengths. He even applied the scientific management to the work of the security department.
"Unlike the First Division and the Third Division, which rely on funding from Nanjing, the Eighth Division is funded by the central government and has sufficient military pay. It is known as the "Rich Eighth Division" in the Jiangsu Provincial Army, and its equipment is by no means what other units have.
In comparison, in the past year, we have replaced Japanese-made 65mm rifles and carbines, and purchased 24 Japanese-made 75mm mountain guns, 12 75mm field guns, a column of Japanese-made bridging materials, and civil engineering equipment.
A company of tools and equipment, a company of telecommunications, lights, bicycles and other transportation equipment, explosive materials, gun and sword fighting equipment, barbed wire and other defensive equipment brought the artillery regiment and engineer battalion to full strength, and the Eighth Division was full of personnel. Although the Eighth Division had 16
Brigade Commander Zhao Hengti and Commander of the 31st Regiment Tao Deyao led the 31st Regiment and a company of machine guns and artillery that had just finished supervising the disarmament in Jiangxi to Changsha to assist Hunan in dismantling the Hunan Army. The Eighth Division now only has one brigade and three regiments. But its battle
The strength and equipment can be said to be the best in the Southern Army.”
When Ah Si focused on analyzing the Eighth Division, Wei Dongsheng was surprised and realized an unprecedented crisis. He was not worried about Zhao Pingpu. As for that "idiot", he was confident that he could control him with applause.
But he didn't have this confidence in Ah Si. Now that Ah Si had shown "specialties", especially when he thought of the closeness between him and the chairman, Wei Dongsheng suddenly realized that maybe the person in front of him was the one he truly controlled.
The security department's worst enemy.
While the alarm bell was ringing in his heart, Wei Dongsheng added quietly.
"Ah Si, although the equipment of the Eighth Division is strong, but... it is in vain. The Eighth Division is a tiger..."
With a sneer, Wei Dongsheng said contemptuously.
"Although Huang Xing was determined to build the Eighth Division into a revolutionary army when he was staying in Nanjing, so most of the division's mid-level and upper-level officers were members of the League, the commander of the Eighth Division, Chen Zhiji, had never joined the League or other political parties.
Moreover, he claims to be a "soldier who is not a party member," and even those brigade leaders who came from the Tongmenghui also tend to have this tendency."
Although in the past three months, after setting up the security department, Wei Dongsheng has been working hard on his own team, but because he studied in Japan, he still has a few friends in the Eighth Division, and among the letters exchanged with his friends
, he has a fairly good understanding of the dynamics of the Eighth Division, so he naturally has to show it off.
"So for the Kuomintang, this force is extremely unreliable. Therefore, the one Sun Wen can rely on is probably the third division led by Leng Yuqiu."
"In the Third Division, although the division commander Leng Yuqiu is a member of the Tongmenghui, the officers and soldiers of the Third Division are a mixed bag. There are Tongmenghui members, party members, and surrendered officers, and its soldiers are few and poorly equipped, so it is not at all...
"
Ah Si's words only made Li Zicheng's eyes light up, and he immediately interrupted Ah Si's celebration.
"Ah Si, are you saying that there is a mixed bag of people in the third division? There are all kinds of people?"
"Yes, young master, there are officers from the former Qing Dynasty, as well as party members and bandits..."
"alright"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Zicheng clapped his hands with a smile on his face.
"The third division...is not something to be afraid of"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zicheng stood up slightly and said with a smile.
"If you want to defeat your opponent, you don't have to just use cannonballs. Sometimes, we can also..."
"Ah Si, I've been thinking about it for a long time."
After leaving the chairman's office, on the way back to the security department, Wei Dongsheng looked at Ah Si seriously and said.
"I think it would be most appropriate to leave this errand assigned by the chairman to you and leave it to someone else. Don't worry. You are the person close to the chairman. Only you can complete this matter sincerely and quickly."
After sighing, Wei Dongsheng then pretended to be "caring about his subordinates".
"But, I'm afraid, hey... I'm in a dilemma."
Hum hum
With his head hanging down, Ah Si didn't say anything. Instead, he just sneered secretly in his heart. Regarding Wei Dongsheng's little calculation, he had not seen it in the past few months in the security department. He had been thinking about when to remind the young master,
This person is not trustworthy, at least in Ah Si's opinion, anyone who has selfish intentions towards the young master is not trustworthy.
Ah Si is very clear about the young master's thoughts. The young master asked him to come here because he was afraid that he would be helping Brother Zhao to help him. But Ah Si also knew that Brother Zhao usually looked very stupid, but
But he is an "inner show" master.
"Ah Si, you are eloquent, cheerful, good at socializing and socializing, and you are also someone close to the young master. So, after much thought, I am afraid it would be a perfect fit for you to do this."
Wei Dongsheng, who still didn't know what Ah Si was thinking, still kept pouring out the obsession. He only hoped that this boy could take the initiative to take over what the chairman ordered. The chairman said it was simple, and he was very sure of success, but the problem was
...The risk is also very high. Looking at Ah Si, Wei Dongsheng expressed some concern.
"If it's not something important, I...I really don't want you, Brother Four, to take this risk."
"Minister Wei, what you said is all within your scope of work"...
