Chapter 2 Iron Blood Comrades Association

On August 1916, in the woods next to Baoding Nanguan, a group of young men in military uniforms were gathering in a circle, sitting on the ground, as if talking about something. These young men are all members of the Iron Blood Comrades Association, which everyone knows among the third-year graduates of Baoding! It is embarrassing to say that this Comrade Chang Ruiqing, who has traveled through time since the 21st century, has begun to find ways to build his future sect from the time of Nanjing Army Primary School and Army Middle School.

The team of the world! After working hard for about ten years, we have a twelve iron-blooded comrades club. It seems that the most difficult thing in the world is the human heart, especially when there is no reward or punishment, we can only rely on three inches to fool others... Looking at the eleven classmates and friends in front of us who are probably considered to be close friends, Chang Ruiqing couldn't help but admire the great master Zhou in his heart. The ability to recruit people to develop organizations is probably impossible to learn in his life.

Since we cannot build a team by relying on vernacular words, we naturally have to let the brothers follow us have the benefits of seeing and tangible! In fact, some time ago, Chang Ruiqing and his ordinary brothers took advantage of the opportunity of the people in Baoding Military Academy to be volatile after Yuan Shikai died. They were all moving around, writing books and promoting the main purpose of "participating in the war and saving the country", and also to give the members of this small group and himself to find a better position after graduation. Only in this way can this "Iron Blood Comrade Association" organized by finally organizing will not break up after everyone goes their separate ways. Judging from the current results, this purpose seems to have been completely achieved.

Before leaving Baoding a few days ago, Xu Shuzheng summoned twelve members of the Iron Blood Comrades Association, and made a flaw of three company commanders and nine platoon leaders on the spot. He also said a lot of encouragement nonsense. Before leaving, he took a photo with everyone. The meaning of winning over was obvious. Don’t think that these company commanders, the platoon leader, are all officials of sesame and mung beans. Now it is not during the Anti-Japanese War or the War of Liberation. The army is as large as millions, and even the division commander and brigade commander are not considered an amazing person.

Now, in 1916, when the Beiyang Anhui clique controlled the Beijing central government, the turbulent times of the Republic of China, the brigade commander of a mixed brigade was already a big shot! There were only seven or eight battalions of soldiers! Ordinary graduates of Baoding Military Academy, even if they were in the local army, could only start from the platoon commander. If they were in the Beiyang Central Army, even a second lieutenant who did not lead troops would have to be an intern for a while before they could become! This time, relying on a letter and a few empty talk, they actually tricked the company commander and platoon commander from Xu Shuzheng. Of course, these young non-commissioned students were very excited. They were laughing and talking in the woods.

"Three-in-one platoon, they are almost all soldiers from the same battalion, and they are in the same division. Look at this posture, Brother Yaoru is not too far from the throne of the battalion commander, right?"

"That's right, with the brothers of our Iron Blood Comrades Association helping me, a small battalion commander is still in hand. If you really participate in the European war, you will have to train the war army. Brother Yaoru will have to be promoted, and the regiment commander and brigade commander are no problem!"

"Participate in the European War? I heard that Europe has become a sea of ​​corpses and blood, and every battle is killed in millions! If we China really participates, we may also..."

"Hey! Isn't it just a dead person? We are seeking wealth and danger. Since we have entered this industry, there is no reason to be afraid of death! Besides, in this situation in China, internal and external troubles are forcing each other. If there is no strong support, we will never be able to turn over. Sooner or later, we will become a slave to the destruction of the country! Participating in the European War may be the only chance to reverse the national destiny. We are willing to die in a foreign land!"

"Hmph! Don't think about it if you die in a foreign land! Do you really think that the Beijing guilds sent the war troops that were finally compiled and trained to Europe? Haha, I, Mr. Bai, left my words here. When the war troops were trained, they either went to fight the south or used it in the internal strife in the Beiyang system... I must first settle the internal situation when fighting foreign countries! This is an eternal truth."

When he was talking lively, he suddenly heard someone say something, saying so surely, and everyone turned their eyes over. The man didn't care at all and was still calm. His figure was tall, his skin was dark, his cheekbones were slightly prominent, he had a lion's nose, and a light eyebrows. He was Bai Chongxi from the third stage of the Baoding period, and he was also the second largest figure in the Iron Blood Comrades Association after Chang Ruiren. There were several classmates from Guangxi under his command, all of whom were the backbone of the Comrades Association.

Chang Ruiqing naturally put a lot of thought into this famous general in history. As early as the Second Army Preparatory School in Wuhan, he exchanged posts with him and became a friend of eight worships! However, this famous general was not so easy to "conquer" and would occasionally sing opposites with Chang Ruiqing! For example, this time, Bai Chongxi did not agree to embrace the Anhui clan's thighs in the name of participating in the war and saving the country, and even opposed staying in Beijing to wait for opportunities. His idea was to develop in Xinjiang! I don't know if there was something wrong with this young man Bai Chongxi's mind?

Of course, Chang Ruiqing strongly opposed this. Not to mention that Xinjiang has no money, no people, and still lives in a corner. Even the Xinjiang Governor Yang Zengxin’s bullshit policy of “no good people going to Yangguan west”, he could not take his brothers to surrender! There is a place where there is no reason to be said, even if Yang Zengxin’s people are killed, there is no place to shout for justice! In the end, Chang Ruiqing spent all his spits on him before he told Bai Chongxi to give up.

Xinjiang's idea of ​​seeking death (historically, Bai Chongxi's way to Xinjiang was cut off due to the Shaanxi Civil War, otherwise the Kuomintang would have lost one reactionary warlord). However, Bai Chongxi did not particularly agree with Chang Ruiqing's idea of ​​developing in Beijing. In his opinion, Beiyang has been in a split situation since Yuan Shikai's death. The big and small soldiers in the Beiyang group have been in power. It is only a matter of time before and evening to collapse, and it is not worth working for them.

Chang Ruiqing's voice rang out at this time: "Brother Jiansheng's view, brother, I agree with the efficiency of Beiyang's work. There is no such thing as open and secret struggle for participation in the war for less than a year or two. When the war was declared, we had to train the war army, and at least we had to practice the last year's war. By then, the European war would probably be over! But this is also the last chance for China to recover the national destiny in Beiyang. If Beiyang can train the war army well, the central government can really have a reliable force, and can also be used to fight foreign countries after the European war is over... Why should we stay in the Beiyang system? After all, we have already climbed the big tree of the Anhui system. Even if we have experienced it, we will always be a master and brigade commander.

If Beiyang cannot seize this opportunity and finally deal with the war, then this troubled time may have just begun! We need to use the opportunity to train the war army to master a force! Even if there is a mixed brigade's force, whether it is to settle down or save the country and the people in the future, we will have the capital!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing sound came from below.

"That's right, the opportunity to participate in the war and save the country is in front of Beiyang. It would be fine if they can hold it firmly. If they can't even grasp this, then it will be a chaotic world in the future! If there is a gun, it will be the king of grass heads. If our Iron Blood Comrade Association can have a force, of course it can also fight a piece of land. Brother Yaoru is the general, and we can also get a brigade commander and the regiment commander will be satisfied. As for saving the country, if Beiyang really doesn't work, isn't there Sun Dapao? We can go at the worst..."

"In my opinion, Sun Dapao is difficult. After so many years of life, he has not even had a decent territory and no reliable army in his hands. This will not be possible at all. If Beiyang really doesn't work, he will be afraid that he will become like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the future. I wonder when the battle will end?"

"If we miss the opportunity for the European War, our country will probably have a hard time in the future. There are Tsarist Russia in the north, Japan in the east, and Britain and France in the south... The country is divided again, and there are a lot of treaties that tie us up! In such a situation, even if we have great skills, we may not be able to reverse it. Maybe there will be a disaster for the destruction of the country!"
