In the Xiaogan Railway Station in the night, several tank trains with only breathable windows lined up in a long line, and soldiers from the 1st Division and 2nd Brigade lined up to get into the carriage.

Although the sudden mobilization order caught everyone off guard, fortunately, the troops behind Kokura Mountain have been operating and training for two months. Their mental outlook and discipline have not declined but increased, and they have already become like a trump card. Even if they are hasty, each soldier is well equipped and there is no scene of losing everything.

On the platform, Yue Peng was wearing a military uniform and frowned, constantly counting the time, and a small black skeleton badge on his chest looked particularly ferocious in the glimmer of light.

This is the black skeleton badge that was just issued with the military medal. Don’t underestimate this black skeleton that looks a bit in line with the traditional Chinese people. It represents death and nightmare for opponents! It represents that the troops wearing it have won a major victory, so there are only the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions and 1st Brigade who can get it and be worn publicly, because they have all participated in the fierce defense battle from Wusheng Pass to the end of Xiaocang Mountain, and are the elites in the National Defense Forces.

The 1st Brigade and the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Brigade has arrived in Nanjing, and the remaining two regiments are currently waiting for ships to send them south in Wuxue, so the 1st Division stationed in Xiaogan currently has only two infantry brigades. Since Wusheng Pass has not been brought back, and there are not many troops required for this operation, all the light infantrymen of the 2nd Brigade were set off this time.

Chief of Staff Wu Zhaolin was one of the few officers who knew what mission was to be carried out tonight. He walked over and said, "Teacher Commander, don't worry too much. There is a garrison camp in Hankou. Xiaolou has already set off in the afternoon, and Zhang Tingfu has turned around. With them, those people can't make trouble. Besides, I don't think the Third Division will really make trouble with those people."

"Wesan thought I was afraid they would succeed? You were wrong. Ziqing had already notified the commander, so even if we didn't go back, they wouldn't have a chance! I was wondering what the commander and us did wrong?" Yue Peng closed his pocket watch with a snap, stuffed it into his chest and walked towards the carriage. His cold voice came from the wind: "I'm leaving it to you. Don't worry about the matter over there, blood will make them more sober."

The iron wheel slowly rolled, neither whistle nor noise, everything seemed so quiet. Looking at the shadow of the train leaving, Wu Zhaolin sighed and followed the train. The sound of gunfire seemed to fill his ears again. How much blood in this country still needs to flow to truly calm down? Standing in the cold wind and night, he couldn't know, and only hoped that it would be less and less.

Deng Yulin glanced at his wife who was still sleeping and sighed secretly in his heart. It took a long time to grab the gun, put on his military uniform and walked towards the riverside.

On the Han River in the early morning, teams of soldiers wearing training clothes sang in the cold fog and conducted morning exercises under the leadership of officers. After the gunshots faded in the evening of November 13, the National Defense Forces launched a large-scale training operation for the whole army. Not only did they not get tired of the end of the war, but they put forward higher requirements. The soldiers had to train for eight hours a day. From running to 300-meter obstacles, from shooting to ideological education, they were arranged every day.

The Hanyang Wharf in the distance is still busy. In the past few days, all kinds of rivers have been transporting machines and equipment like crazy. For this reason, the Hanyang factory was not allowed to expand the temporary warehouse it had originally prepared several times. The workers even took care of these treasures in every way. Even though the outside was covered with a layer of tarp and oil cloth, it was thicker after being removed. It was afraid that the machine would be damaged by the wet winter.

The cement from Daye in Huangshi, the kerosene transported from Shanghai, the copper from Jiangxi, the coal from Pingxiang, and the number of foreign machines that are too large to build two more Hanyang! No one knows how Yang Qiu got these, and he doesn't know where he got so much money. The only thing he knows is that in just two months, the three towns that were destroyed by the war have flourished again.

Peeping in the north. The downstream is in chaos, but the three upstream provinces have already shown a thriving look under his leadership. Is this helping this already scarred country or destroying it?

A small team of soldiers trained by the garrison battalion ran past him, which made him a little nervous. The garrison battalion is the core force for the defense of the three towns. It is not large in structure. Currently, there are only about 1,000 people in two battalions, stationed in the three towns and Chongqing respectively, but its strength cannot be underestimated. Not only Yang Qiu's starting troops, but also its equipment is second only to the guard company, and it can be regarded as the prototype of the guard forces in the three provinces in the future.

The soldiers saluted and continued to run away, which made him feel a little relieved.

Because the three towns have a special terrain, for the convenience of officials and the army, there is a special dock and ferry. There is one by the Yudaimen River. When I saw a small traffic boat with the flying tiger flag, a familiar face suddenly thorned out and blocked it.

"Qingcheng?" Deng Yulin looked at Zhang Tingfu in military uniform, his heart shrank a few times, and he asked nervously: "Didn't you go to Changsha yesterday? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Zhang Tingfu looked at him deeply. Deng Yulin was also a great hero. If he hadn't had any trouble in Baoshan, he would not have been able to succeed in the uprising. But he still didn't understand some things, or he still deceived himself after he explained them clearly! He was invited to say, "Brother Bing, there are not many opportunities for you and me to meet in the past two months. Why not take advantage of this to go together?"

Deng Yulin was a little nervous, but nodded: "Okay."

The two walked slowly along the riverside. Soon after, Shi Xiaolou followed with more than a dozen soldiers wearing black skeleton badges. After seeing them, Deng Yulin understood what was going on. His face suddenly turned pale and he slowly took off his hat: "It seems that I underestimated the commander."

Zhang Tingfu sighed: "Brother Bing, there is something that brothers don't know. Do you think it's important to revolution? Or is it important to make the people safe and stable? It's good for the commander to have selfishness, but what's wrong with what he did now? I know what Sun Wu and the others said, but do you know? If I were asked to choose, I would still leave Feng Huafu's army and heavy troops to encircle the Fourth Town! Even if Mr. Ke died on the front line, I would do it. The reason is very simple." Zhang Tingfu turned his head and looked at his eyes and said slowly: "In that case, what we need is a victory!"

"Putting down the two lakes and taking over Sichuan seems to have integrated the three provinces into one, but in fact they are still scattered. So he needs a position to govern and implement his governance methods." Zhang Tingfu took out a notice and handed it to him and continued: "This is the unified and the announcement of the abolition of Lijin printed after the meeting of the General Staff. After the commander came back, he will sign the announcement and send it to all parts of the three provinces. After the implementation, the Qing court's various miscellaneous taxes would be reduced by more than half! Do you know how much money it is every year? Everyone knows that after the abolition and unification, the people's lives will be much better. But who has the courage to force free education to allow every household to go to school. This is about to begin. Bingsan knows how many children are looking forward to this day?

In this world, is it possible to do these things without the right or without guns?

All sections of the Hanchuan Railway have also started construction. The Hanyang Factory and the new factories in Chongqing, Sichuan and Changsha are also leveling the foundations. All construction will start in March. The three provinces are getting better at their hands. At this time, will you destroy these things? Not to mention anything else, most of the Hanchuan Railway's technology and equipment rely on Germany for providing them. Now the Germans only recognize the commander, so what can they do without him? Who will pay without him? Who will pay for the welfare of tens of millions of people or the struggle for the party? Which one is more important, the welfare of tens of millions of people or the struggle for the party?"

"Bingsan, you and I have been together for many years, so please click directly. Let me tell you, Sun Wu and the others have no hope of getting things done! Did you forget how he tied up Li Du to treat everyone? Is it worth it for such a person?!" Zhang Tingfu finally shook his head and slowly spread his hands: "Give me the gun, keep your badge, the commander said that it is what you deserve. The Hunan section of the Hanchuan Railway started construction yesterday. Mr. Zhan urgently needed a person who can control the worker and prevent anyone from sabotaging the damage to help."

Deng Yulin nodded mutely. When he saw Zhang Tingfu and Shi Xiaolou, he knew that there was no chance. He slowly pulled out the pistol and bullets and handed them to Zhang Tingfu. Perhaps it was the best result to be able to save his life to build the railway. The moment he pulled out the gun, he even felt relieved.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Shi Xiaolou quickly came over to take the gun and bullets, and waved: "Come on, send a squad to protect the Chief of Staff and his family. We must ensure absolute safety before sunset tomorrow!"

The soldier surrounded Deng Yulin and broke his silence when he saw the two of them leaving: "Qingcheng, Xiaolou Sunwu and the others." After saying this, he suddenly shook his hand with a ridicule and sighed: "Forget it, forgot! Since this is the case, I still ask so much? Please tell the commander on my behalf that Yulin had done something wrong and had no face to see him. He was willing to repair the railway for him for the rest of his life and never come back."

"Brother Bing, please take care of yourself." Zhang Tingfu paused, turned around and walked towards China Merchants Wharf with Shi Xiaolou, and walked firmly towards China Merchants Wharf.

At the dock of the China Merchants Bureau, officials and merchants from all over the three towns were crowded with people, and the inspectors of the three provinces! What's more, it was a good opportunity to flatter or not. Tang Hualong, who was well-dressed, was restless and kept glanced around. Unfortunately, there were too many people and coolies outside who came to join in the fun, so he could not find those people at all.

Just when he was nervous, the sound of the whistle sounded from a distance. Looking around, the cold bow of the Chu Yu ship was breaking through the turbid river water and approaching the dock little by little.

On the deck, the man was in a straight posture.
