"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers...The latest report is that there is internal strife in Guangxi, and the Yunnan warlord Zhang Shu has made a profit..."

"Selling and selling newspapers... The Guangxi clique fought fiercely for days, Shen and Lu both suffered losses, and the Yunnan clique's warlord Zhang Shusheng suddenly emerged..."

"...there is another change in the southwest. The Yunnan clique Zhang Shu has strong troops and horses, and one of his soldiers is worth a hundred, defeating the Gui clique..."

Guangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing... In major cities in China, early in the morning, people looking for a living have just taken to the streets and were attracted by the sound of newsboys selling newspapers. Some people care about national affairs and have the world at heart. Some people do not. No. The numb Chinese people can't save much money every day, but they always like to spend a little money to buy a newspaper and see where the warlords are starting another war. In this special era, hearing about the dead is also a kind of entertainment. After comforting myself, I felt that I was still alive and had a good life.[

When these elites and wealthy people, teachers, and workers opened the newspaper, they were shocked to find a black and white photo that occupied a considerable position on the front page. The photo was against the background of a city where gunfire had not cleared, and an elite military force was They entered the city in neat rows. Judging from the photos, this unit was well-organized and well-equipped, especially the heavy machine guns that were carried into the city, which caught the attention of many people.

Below the photo is written: On March 23, 1924, the troops of Zhang Shusheng, the victor of the Battle of Guilin, were entering the city.

"Shenbao"'s report on this war begins like this: According to our newspaper, when the situation between the north and the south was critical and the northern warlords were confronting each other, the Yunnan warlord Zhang Shusheng accepted the invitation of Lu Rongting and made a long-distance attack on Guilin. After several days of hard fighting, Finally gained actual control of Guangxi. The author personally saw that Zhang Shusheng’s subordinates were well-disciplined and well-trained, and they were all fierce warriors...

There is also a new newspaper, "Guangzhou National Daily", which reported this melee in Guangxi:...the local warlords headed by Zhang Shusheng ignored the righteousness, the overall situation of reunification, and the cry of Mr. Sun, and violated The spirit of the Three People's Principles...

The general meaning is almost the same: exclaim, another powerful warlord has appeared in the southwest!!!

Zhang Shusheng put down the newspaper excerpts in his hand. These are the latest reports published by several heavyweight newspapers across the country that were edited and sent by the Special Intelligence Department. The above are all reports about the Battle of Shenlu in Guangxi. Except for the pertinent reports, Basically, they were all one-sided and bad. The report of "Shenbao" was the most pertinent. This press release from Guilin City faithfully recorded the shock that the reporter felt at that time. There was a prophetic word in it that made Zhang Shusheng look askance: The elite Dongchuan Army is undoubtedly the best in the country.

Unfortunately, just based on the few heavy machine guns in the photo, it is obvious that no one will believe the reporter's illusory on-site experience. At a time when information is backward and communications are seriously underdeveloped, the shock brought by a simple military entry ceremony is very shocking. It is difficult to convey it to the Chinese people through an isolated newspaper.

They have become accustomed to the bragging of warlords, and in the end the facts always prove that the armies that the warlords boast about are just shabby troops. They are not good at fighting without fighting, but they are good at harming the people.

Zhang Shusheng put away the newspaper and called Mao Yunxian: "Besides the enlarged military meeting at noon, what other meetings do I have planned for this afternoon?"

Mao Yunxian replied respectfully: "District Chief, there is another meeting on Guangxi's infrastructure construction that you need to attend."

I originally wanted to take some time to visit the car production line, but I just received an emergency call from the car factory, saying that a key piece of equipment in the bearing factory was broken. Bearing auto parts could not keep up, causing both car production lines to stop.

Come down and wait for the parts. "Just remember, I won't go back to eat tonight, I will go directly to the car factory cafeteria to eat."

"Yes, District Chief."

At noon, the Guilin Campaign Military Summary Meeting and the Dongchuan District Military Enlargement Meeting were held.

This was a very important meeting. In addition to the three military and staff officers, Jiang Baili, Chen Jun and Chu Shiwen, who were far away in Guangxi, other regimental-level cadres, deputy cadres and officers above were all present.

"...During this attack on Guilin, the transportation problem became a big problem. The transportation of baggage and personnel became very difficult because the entire line was simple roads... The frontline troops used trucks flexibly and equipped with heavy machine guns to form a mobile

The method of firepower is worth learning...

...After eight years of formalized military training, the militia grew up through the Xundian-Xuanwei battle, and finally exerted their due power in the Guangxi battle, allowing the gluttonous people to see the power of small places.

Big army.

This victory was huge and far-reaching, and it proved the value of the existence of the militia.

Why do we spend so much money on raising troops? It’s just a matter of raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. Only when the troops are strong can we occupy more territory. Only by occupying more land can we get more resources and more people.

, a larger living space. Thus, we can expand more troops and have stronger defensive and offensive forces... Let me give you the simplest example. Our Dongchuan District did not produce a key material for the production of engines. In the past,

We can only buy it back bit by bit from Lu Rongting, but now we can mine it ourselves, because Guangxi is ours!!"

Zhang Shusheng didn’t talk too much about big principles. He usually talks about big principles every year, every month, and every day. Maybe the grassroots instructors who have ready-made teaching materials can teach them much better than him. What about class conflicts and potential ethnic conflicts? These Zhang Shusheng

They only mentioned it in general terms. Instead, they used the simplest and most understandable words to exhort these mid-level and senior officers.[

"I declare now!"

With a "snap", the officers of the militia stood up straight, waiting to hear the final order to expand the army. The army expansion meeting also officially entered its final climax.

"From now on, the militia will gradually expand into two reorganized regular divisions and two reserve divisions on the basis of one regular division and one reserve division. The commander of the first division of the militia is Wu Tiejun, the instructor Li Junming. The commander of the second division of the militia

, Tao Qian, instructor Chu Shiwen. Commander Tie Sangan of the First Reserve Division, instructor Zhugesheng... Commander of the Second Reserve Division Lu Ziyun..."

The expansion of the militia's army is imperative. Otherwise, let alone being beaten on the door, Guangxi's meat will probably not be able to hold on sooner or later. Since the finances are still good, Zhang Shusheng chose to expand the army rationally and maintain one of the most elite troops in the country.

If the regular army trains and reserves a first-class reserve force in the country, and conducts emergency expansion during wartime, it will be very confident even if it can cope with the so-called "elite Northern Expeditionary Army armed by Mr. Sun" a few years later.

"...the equipment of each unit will also be gradually modernized and refitted. The order has been read out." Zhang Shusheng finished reading this army expansion plan that made people either happy or sad. In the face of absolute power, he allowed others to be happy or disappointed.

But this must not cause cognitive problems. "I hope that everyone can learn from it whether they are promoted or demoted. As I said, I, Zhang Shusheng, will always distinguish rewards and punishments. This time I will leave it to a very small number of people."

To save face, I did not send you home directly. Delegating you to the company is not only a severe punishment for you, but also to give you another chance. If you still fail the assessment, you can apply for retirement on your own without informing me!! And

If he can learn from the experience and prove himself with practical actions, I guarantee that there will never be any artificial obstacles to his future promotion."

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, nine kinds. Regarding the personnel who performed poorly, Zhang Shusheng did not hide them, but directly passed the army expansion meeting, removed two regiment-level deputy officers, and sent them directly back to the company. Fortunately,

The size of the army was small, and there were no problems with the full-time officers at the regiment level. However, several of the deputy officers who had problems were out of cleverness and made small subjective mistakes. Zhang Shusheng did not stab them to death with a single blow.

But he was also given extremely severe punishment.

Of course, if you still dare to be dissatisfied or have evil intentions when you are transferred to a company, then I'm sorry, the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau in the dense army, a branch developed by the Special Intelligence Department of the militia, will come to greet you as soon as possible. They will not send you to retire.

, but will send you to a military court.

With both kindness and power, the officers below, regardless of their seniority, couldn't help but feel cautious, even if they asked themselves that they could be 100% loyal and not afraid of death.

This group leader, who is usually very talkative, is always so fierce when dealing with major issues that affect the entire vigilante group.

After the enlarged military meeting, Zhang Shusheng returned to his office, stood in front of the huge map of China, and began to meditate again.

The current situation in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi is extremely delicate.

In the past, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi were a mixture of large and small forces, but after the "joint efforts" of Zhang Shusheng and Tang Jiyao in the past two years, the situation in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi has changed drastically.

Tang Jiyao occupied southern Yunnan and all of Guizhou, Zhang Shusheng occupied northern Yunnan and newly occupied all of Guangxi. As a result, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi seemed to have only two families, but instead of becoming peaceful, the situation worsened.

This kind of cross-shaped confrontation between forces made both sides dare not act rashly. Zhang Shusheng was mainly restricted by the overall number of troops. Tang Jiyao was afraid that Zhang Shusheng's troops were well-equipped and well-trained. One side had few soldiers and the other side had many troops.

Waste, come and go, and it's a tie again.

Neither Zhang Shusheng nor Tang Jiyao had the strength to fight for the time being. Even when Zhang Shusheng took advantage of the chaos in Guangxi and captured Guilin in one fell swoop, Tang Jiyao did not move. Whichever side moves first will have a greater chance of losing.

Zhang Shusheng did not dare to move. Once he sent his army south to attack Tang Jiyao, Tang Jiyao's troops in Guizhou would probably go to his hometown. The same was true for Tang Jiyao. No matter whether it was the base camp or Guizhou, they could not resist the strong attack of Zhang Shusheng's army. Only ten

The restraining effect of the glyphs can allow both sides to calmly confront each other.

"In this way, at least for a year, I can develop the economy with peace of mind." Zhang Shusheng nodded with satisfaction. He had never had any negotiations with Tang Jiyao, but the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, and the confrontation was smooth.

Far apart.

The most amazing thing is that in Qujing, the transportation artery from Dongchuan to Guangxi, the two sides often pass each other. Tang Jiyao transported money and grain from Guizhou back to Kunming, and Zhang Shusheng transported goods from Dongchuan District to Guangxi to go to sea...

At the transportation meeting held in the afternoon, the experts carefully discussed two plans. One was a road construction plan formulated by Lu Ziming, an expert on returning roads, and the other was a road construction plan formulated by Feng Zhen, a water conservancy expert, regarding the construction of small hydropower stations in Guilin and Nanning.

feasibility analysis report.

After Zhang Shusheng listened carefully to the reports of the two people, he also listened to the discussions of other people. As a layman, he did not express too many opinions. He just concluded in the end: "You are experts, and I, a layman, will not point fingers. Small hydropower station

I won’t go into detail on this. The main reason is to consider flood control. As for building roads, I have two points to make. First, the situation in Guangxi and Yunnan is similar. There is a lot of rain. Road construction must take into account issues such as road surface hardening, drainage, and landslide prevention.

Second, for some special areas, there is no need to deliberately save money. You can choose a higher-cost construction plan, such as pouring cement or paving asphalt. I hope that all the scholars and technicians here can complete this batch of traffic plans with full enthusiasm as soon as possible.
Chapter completed!
