Chapter 35 Northwest Claws

The burden of world peace is too heavy, and not everyone can listen to what they say. The essence of this world is that hitting someone will hurt more if someone has a bigger fist. Disputes between countries are essentially related to the relationship between people.

Conflicts between people are similar, and the solution to the problem is usually the same process: sit down and talk, and if you can't reach an agreement, roll up your sleeves and fists.

If you want to fight someone, you must have the strength, otherwise you will be looking for a beating.

In fact, for a big country like China, as long as there is no real separation and separatism, it is difficult for external forces to shake the foundation of the country. The Qing Dynasty is an exception because it is a "guest" regime.

Xu Shuzheng and Qi Zhenghong were both soldiers who experienced the late Manchu Dynasty. It is precisely because of this that they have an unforgettable understanding of the power of the national army. In Xu Shuzheng's view, the biggest problem during the Beiyang period was the army, and the government's ability to control the army was too poor.

During Yuan Shikai's time in power, the embryonic form of warlord separatism had already taken shape. Otherwise, why would the Yuan family be unable to dismantle the army? Even Zhang Xun could not be disposed of. This shows that Yuan Shikai's approach will not work.

Fang Jianxiong's control system of the army is relatively effective in Xu Shuzheng's opinion. It adopts a multi-channel system, which on the surface seems to be mainly divided into two parts. One is employment. The personnel power is firmly controlled by the General Staff, with the help of the system of life counselors.

, supervise and assess the quality of officers. Now most of the chief officers of each army are from the Wuhu teaching team and later Lu University students. These people only have eyes for Fang. If anyone wants to incite rebellion, these officers will probably be caught first without anyone else.

The instigators went to Fang Jianxiong to ask for credit. Especially during this reorganization, a large number of old people faded out. This was a helpless thing, but in Xu Shuzheng's view, it was inevitable.

Officers who came from the old Beiyang or various places. Among other things, being a warlord is addicted. Of course, there are exceptions, such as Xu Shuzheng, Wu Peifu, and Xu Chongzhi, who stand out from the old officers. Xu Shuzheng did a great job in Mongolia.

Xu Chongzhi and Wu Peifu benefited from their outstanding performance in the European war. In comparison, other officers were a bit like surfing the sand. Among the division commanders in the expeditionary force, only three or four are still in their positions.

For example, Li Genyuan and Chen Huan are still in the position of division commanders. The Anhui Gang and the Beiyang Gang have all been sent to idle positions. Most of these people are Japanese Riku Shisheng, who were originally in the position of division commanders.

It is not that qualified. It is really an opportunity that no one can use. You must know that it is difficult for Lu Shisheng to have a good position in Japan. Lieutenant is the top. Unfortunately, many people did not seize the opportunity. After returning from Europe,

They have been replaced by their juniors one after another, not to mention all the domestic troops. Most of the old people are in deputy positions, or they have voluntarily quit and returned to the local area to intervene in reserve service.

For these old people, Xu Shuzheng has no sympathy, it's not that he hasn't given them a chance. Unfortunately, they didn't grasp it well. They thought they could get by just like the old Beiyang period. Little did they know that Fang Jianxiong has always been a person who doesn't rub sand in his eyes.

Lord, let the capable leave the mediocre.

Regarding the volunteer army, Xu Shuzheng did not take the initiative to volunteer, but he was very enthusiastic about logistics. Fang Jianxiong left a big face for the Beiyang line. Nothing should be done too much.

While Fang Jianxiong was abroad, the country was actually not at peace, especially in the army. Many people secretly communicated with each other in private. They even contacted Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng. Regarding this matter, Xu Shuzheng and Duan Qirui communicated in private and agreed.

I think these people are worthless. This world is about strength. Fang Jianxiong firmly holds the military power. Anyone who wants to cause trouble is a dead end.

Seeing the young Qi Zhenghong carrying the rank of lieutenant general with high spirits, Xu Shuzheng felt a little emotional. Qi Zhenghong has been staying in the Northeast and has not gone to Europe. He is Fang Jianxiong's die-hard soldier in the Northeast Military Region, and this officer is getting bigger and bigger.

This shows that Fang Jianxiong’s focus on foreign strategy lies.

"Zhengshuai, Li Daxiong called, Kolchak wants command." Qi Zhenghong handed over the telegram, Xu Shuzheng took it and glanced at it and said: "Dream, it would be great if you can help him defend Novosibirsk. I also want to unify the army."

He has the right to command and doesn’t even look at who he is? Ignore him and just avoid talking about this issue when you get there later.”

"That's right, let him touch a few soft nails and he will be honest. I heard that Fu Shuai just passed Malacca. I guess I can't meet him and listen to the teachings before setting off for the expedition." When Qi Zhenghong talked about this, his regret overflowed, and it was not like he was pretending.

Thick smoke billows on the vast sea. This situation can be seen from a long distance. This is a huge fleet.

Including the two supply ships, there is a large fleet of nine ships in total, including two Qingdao-class battlecruisers and the other five battlecruisers purchased from the United Kingdom. Such a fleet is a sight wherever it goes.

A powerful force.

Liu Guanxiong, standing upright in the command cabin of the flagship Qingdao, can be said to be very satisfied with the fleet he commands. At first, Liu Guanxiong was very excited when he heard that five warships were purchased in one go. The Navy's

The treasure of Zhenshan is Zha Zhenbing, I heard

I was happy about this and drank a lot of wine. Starting from the Beiyang Navy, it has always been the dream of the Chinese navy to build a powerful navy. Although it has been many years since the Beiyang Navy, the number one team in Asia, disappeared, the naval people’s

There is always a thorn in my heart.

"Chief of the General Staff, the Wuhan sent a signal from the front, and it is about to cross the Taiwan Strait." Captain Lin Yongmo reported. Liu Guanxiong heard the sound and puffed up his chest and said: "Pass my order, all ships must cheer up and prepare for battle."

Be prepared, be careful of Japanese provocations."

The Japanese Navy and the Republic of China Navy have always regarded each other as imaginary enemies. In the late Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang period, the Chinese Navy was too weak. The Japanese Navy's Third Fleet was even stationed in Shanghai, while the Japanese Third Fleet was the Yangtze River Inland Fleet. From this point on

It can be seen how arrogant the Japanese navy was back then.

During the 1911 Year, the Japanese Marine Corps was even occupied by the Daye Iron Mine. Thinking of these things made me feel uncomfortable. Liu Guanxiong even hoped that he would encounter a Japanese Navy warship in Taiwan later and show off his power.

"Fu Shuai!" A voice was heard at the door. When Liu Guanxiong saw Fang Jianxiong walking in alone, he immediately stepped forward to salute. Fang Jianxiong returned the salute: "I want to see Taiwan!" The tone of this sentence sounded a bit low, even sad.

Liu Guanxiong clenched his fists subconsciously, and a feeling of suffocation was building up in his chest. Fang Jianxiong held up a telescope and looked eastward, looking at the motherland's treasure island Taiwan from a distance. "It is Fang's crime to pass through the gate of Taiwan and not be able to enter. Qingdao

During the war, we were still too weak, and Britain, France, and Russia jointly exerted pressure, and Fang could not help but refuse to compromise."

Fang Jianxiong's words made Liu Guanxiong, Lin Yongmo and other naval officers' eyes turn red, and they all stared at Taiwan.

"Fushuai, as long as we have your wise leadership, we will definitely fight back. Not only will we take back Taiwan, but we will also attack the Japanese islands." Liu Guanxiong waved his fist excitedly, and the officers in the command cabin shouted together: "Fushuai, we will fight back."

We will fight back."

Fang Jianxiong smiled at everyone and said: "It's easier said than done. The Republic of China is essentially an agricultural country, and the navy is a money-burning service. The Japanese are almost going crazy in order to maintain their naval superiority. The two ships Nagato and Mutsu,

The .410mm main gun was built to maintain its leading position in the world's navy. Although battleships may not be the mainstream in the next world war, for the current world naval structure, battleships are still the most powerful.

Deterrence."

"Fu Shuai, we also need a battleship like the Nagato." Liu Guanxiong couldn't help shouting, and Fang Jianxiong said expressionlessly: "There will be."

In Shanghai, Lieutenant General Leng Yu, the new commander of the Lanzhou Military Region, stood on the pier like a javelin. The reason why he had not taken up the post for a long time was not because of anything else, but because of a telegram from Fang Jianxiong, who was on vacation in his hometown of Chaohu.

To Shanghai.

The Lanzhou Military Region has two infantry corps, the Seventh and Eighth, and five cavalry divisions, ranking fourth among the major military regions. Why are there so many cavalry? It’s simple. The northwest is a vast area with few people and inconvenient transportation. There are no cars.

There is a place for him. Fortunately, there is a train now, otherwise he would have to walk for a month to take office.

Leng Yu's assistant was Xu Chongzhi. The two complemented each other well on the European battlefield. Xu Chongzhi's military ability in controlling large corps was even better than Leng Yu's. So Leng Yu took the initiative to name Xu Chongzhi and appointed him as deputy commander and chief of staff and the seventh army.

Commander. As for the special warfare division, it is currently in Beijing. With the special warfare division as the backbone, it has been expanded into three central guard divisions. Leng Yu’s other assistant is Wang Jinglue, the commander of the Eighth Army. This time the three of them came to Shanghai together.

Waiting for Fu Shuai to return home.

The Qingdao appeared in the field of vision, and under the guidance of the pilot barge, it slowly approached the trestle. Leng Yu and others immediately stood up straighter, watching the hill-like battleship approach, and Fang Jianxiong appeared on the gangway.

"Chief instructor!" "Fushuai!" There are two titles, the former is Leng Yu and Wang Jinglue, and the latter is Xu Chongzhi. This is the difference.

"Well, we're all here. I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so many days." Fang Jianxiong smiled reluctantly. He was exhausted physically and mentally after a long voyage at sea. He saw his subordinates struggling to talk.

"The chief instructor must have something important to tell the students to do. You should wait as long as you want." Leng Yu answered simply. Fang Jianxiong nodded and walked forward slowly. After being away from the land for too long, he stepped on the solid ground and felt a little bit under his feet.

Hair fluttering.

"I haven't informed anyone of the specific time of arrival this time. There is indeed something for you to do. Map!" Fang Jianxiong confessed, and Qi Erzhu immediately came forward, took out the map from his bag and spread it on the ground. Hai Feng

The map shook with the wind. A group of people immediately stood in a row to form a wall to block the sea breeze.

"Zhi Qiu, I am confident in your ability to lead troops, but this time the stakes are very important, so your actions must be secretive. Remember, you are the sharp claws of the country in the northwest!" Fang Jianxiong spoke solemnly, tapping his finger gently in the middle.

A point of Asia's "Anyan Ji".
