Chapter 55: Correct your mistakes if you know they are wrong

Sun's secret message was very long, not like a telegram at all, and was roughly divided into three parts. It began with: It has been more than ten years since I joined the revolution... The meaning is roughly that the various hardships I have experienced since the revolution, the comrades' If you don’t understand, you’ll have to wait for the hardships. The second part recounts the various hardships and struggles since the Wuchang Uprising. He also said: Although Yuan Xiangcheng is famous for his enlightenment, his revolution is not his original intention. The general idea is that Yuan Shikai is different from us. , he is a fake revolution, and his fundamental purpose is to seize the power of the Qing Dynasty. After talking about this and that, there are many difficulties, etc., let me say: "However, the literary idiot will not change his heart and is determined to revolution to the end in order to pursue the true meaning." the Republic of China."

Anyway, this composition is very wonderful. Fang Jianxiong definitely cannot write this kind of text.

Frankly speaking, Fang Jianxiong was very moved by a telegram of more than a thousand words, and he had to admit that Sun Wen was the first person in the Chinese revolution in modern history. From the perspective of a latecomer, regardless of the results, this spirit alone, The revolutionary group with Sun as the core leader indeed has many forerunners worthy of admiration.

But what Sun never expected was that Fang Jianxiong's understanding of the future was completely different from his. In Fang Jianxiong's view, Sun did a lot of extraordinary things in order to overthrow the Qing Dynasty and establish the Republic of China with his own political ideas. These things are completely incompatible with Fang Jianxiong’s values.

Sun said at the end: He is willing to join hands with his brother to build the future of the Republic of China and revive our five-thousand-year-old Chinese nation.

The meaning of this sentence is very clear. Let's form an alliance. Kill Lao Yuan first.

More than three years of modern life have allowed Fang Jianxiong to see many things clearly. Looking at the present from many years later, there are many such people who say a few superficial words. It is always easier to talk and talk without any effort.

Perhaps Sun Yat-sen's current mentality is the same. Everything is easy to destroy and difficult to build. What's more, it is a huge country. The old order has just been broken. The new order has not yet been established. In such a stage of changing times, chaos It has become a necessity. People who have not experienced troubled times will not understand the saying that people in troubled times are inferior to dogs.

In parallel history, the role played by Sun is essentially a destroyer. There are many reasons for the formation of the chaos in the Republic of China. It cannot be simply attributed to Sun, but as the creator of the chaos, Sun plays a large role. Enough.

And what about Fang Jianxiong? What he thinks and does is to use his own way to end the chaos of the Republic of China in the shortest possible time. Although Fang Jianxiong knows very well that to achieve his goal, the country will still be in chaos for a while In fact, what Fang Jianxiong is doing now is not much different from what Sun did in history. They both plunged the country into temporary chaos. The only difference is that Fang Jianxiong has the strength to clean up the mess. And Sun No. It is precisely because of this that Fang Jianxiong disagrees with Sun Cai. Since he has no ability to clean up the mess, he has always stood opposite to the national government just because of his personal political ideals. In this sense, Sun Cai Not even as good as some warlords. At any rate, those warlords still maintained the unity of the country and recognized the later Beiyang government as the legal government. Sun, on the other hand, held high the banner of the so-called law protection and continued to make trouble in the south.

All in all, it is still the same sentence: No matter how bad the government is, it is better than no government! No matter how bad the order is, it is better than no order!

Of course, this deep-rooted concept is worthless in the eyes of many revolutionaries today.

The chaos in this era is not only due to different political goals, but also all kinds of hidden ambitions.

Generally speaking, because of chaos, there are opportunities, and because of chaos, there are stories.

Fang Jianxiong held such a telegram and stood facing the window without saying a word for a long time. Regarding Sun, Fang Jianxiong's mentality was complicated. In traditional historical education, Sun was an out-and-out positive figure and a great man. In this world

In the era, we can also feel that Sun has his own stubborn political philosophy for this era. In any case, a fighter like Sun is worthy of people taking a high look. Even using the word "respect" is too much.

There is a world outside the window, and another world inside the window.

After Fang Jianxiong struggled for nearly an hour, he finally turned around. Yin Ruizhi, who had been waiting beside him, stood up with a record book in his hand. "Reply the call: Constitutionalism is the foundation of the Republic of China. The cabinet-prime minister system is what Jianxiong wants.

.Urge Xiang Cheng to go south as soon as possible to end the chaos of the Republic of China and realize the unification of China."

Stick to your own path! Fang Jianxiong is relieved. These big figures of this era may have something worthy of respect. However, I can see the future of this country more clearly.

After returning the call, Fang Jianxiong strode into the conference room of the headquarters. While the government affairs conference of the United Autonomous Region was still going on, preparations for the National Defense Forces Reorganization Conference were also in full swing.

Previously, due to the constant war, the National Defense Forces had not been able to reorganize in a real sense. Now we must take advantage of the short peace break to finalize this major event.

Inside the headquarters, a fierce debate was going on. Interestingly, the two sides of the debate were the two big bosses of the General Staff, the Chief of General Staff Jiang Fangzhen and his deputy Zhang Xiaohuai who had just returned from Wuhu, and the other was the Deputy Chief of General Staff Germany.

Hamilton, artillery division commander Cheng Zhixuan, and German military adviser Bob. The focus of the dispute between the two sides turned out to be the issue of artillery configuration for an infantry division.

When Fang Jianxiong came in, the counterattacks were still being reorganized fiercely. Cheng Zhixuan's loud voice was almost shouting: "105 guns, one shell is 25 kilograms, and one base is one and a half tons. In the Battle of the Northern Line of the Ping-Han Line, almost all cars were

They have all been used, but our ammunition problem has not been completely solved. Even if there are cars, the failure rate of cars on the existing roads is too high. It is unrealistic for heavy artillery to be transferred to divisions, and I firmly oppose it."

"I think, based on the current situation of the National Defense Forces, the best way to use heavy artillery is to use regiments and battalions as units. In peacetime, it will be directly under the general staff, and in wartime it will be supplemented to the front-line troops. Directly decentralizing to the division level is simply a fantasy.

." Hamilton's voice was not quiet, and the German's stubbornness was very prominent at this time.

"The commander-in-chief has emphasized many times that our future opponent is Japan. According to the current organization of the Japanese army, if one infantry division fights against one Japanese division without heavy artillery, what can we do to fight against it? The quality of the individual soldiers of the Japanese army is far higher.

Compared with our army, in battles at the squad level, with the superiority in weapons, the National Defense Force will not fall behind. In battles at the platoon level, it will be a draw at most. At the company level, I think it will definitely lose. I think the general

The commander's idea can be comprehensive and prudent." This is what Jiang Baili is saying. He is probably too poisoned. Regarding the artillery, Jiang Baili is reluctant to give up even if he recognizes the objective difficulties.

"I agree with Baili's opinion. In the future war between China and Japan, with our naval strength, the battlefield can only break out within China's borders. According to the strength of the National Defense Forces, it is not impossible to capture the north within a year and then control the entire country.

Imaginary things. Suppose the Sino-Japanese war takes place five years later.

The outbreak of the epidemic has five years, can't we solve the road difficulties?" This is Zhang Xiaohuai's voice, and it can be seen that he is also very excited. Fang Jianxiong's idea of ​​artillery is a piece of cake for every soldier.

It's a mental poison. Not many people can resist this temptation.

"No, no, this is not realistic. In five years, it will be difficult for China to achieve industrialization. Without industrialization, how can we talk about large-scale mobility? Cars are not the main force of transportation in Europe now. The German Army mainly relies on spreading throughout the country

China’s railway network is too big. A convenient railway network can never be

It can be completed in a short period of time. Funding and technology are all insurmountable difficulties. There is another question. Artillery is a technical branch. Where do the personnel come from? People who can only fire cannons are easy to find. People who can make cannons fire accurately are easy to find.

It cannot be practiced in a day or two. This is a heavy artillery, not a small artillery with a range of only two or three thousand meters."

I also spoke to my brother Bob. This guy has been staying in Wuchang, leading a group of Germans to go deep into various units to understand the situation on the spot. After returning, Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai proposed a new infantry division artillery organization, and then came to Wuchang with them.

Cheng Zhixuan had a heated argument during the meeting. The Germans quickly joined in the quarrel. Both sides spoke Chinese and German, and the quarrel was endless.

At the beginning, Fang Jianxiong could eavesdrop with a smile on his face. The more he listened, the more serious his expression became. The so-called 12 105 guns in one division was a bit of a copycat of the 1956 establishment. Now after listening for a while, I realized that I had made a mistake.

He made huge mistakes and even misled two chiefs of general staff.

Modern warfare is all about logistics, isn't it? The war that took place in the Far East taught the leaders of the Republic a hard lesson, and the price was huge. As a time traveler, Fang Jianxiong is also not a god.

Grasping the general trend of history does not mean knowing the details.

If I had to explain Fang Jianxiong's mentality in this era, it would probably be that he was cautiously exploring with a fearful heart, striving to lay a solid foundation and striving to be ahead of his opponents in everything. Now it seems that he is doing pretty well.

But it's not enough.

It is precisely because of this mentality that Fang Jianxiong can pay enough attention to the correct opinions put forward by people around him. After careful consideration, he readily accepts and corrects them. Of course, he also insists on things that are considered wrong by modern people.

"I heard a wonderful debate. It seems that we need to conduct a serious study on this issue." Fang Jianxiong spoke, immediately interrupting the debate between the two parties.

They called Fang Jianxiong in private. On this occasion, Jiang and Zhang both saluted and greeted formally: "Hello, Commander-in-Chief!" This is the quality that a professional soldier should have. (To be continued)!~!
