North? Chen Jiongming frowned: "Go tell Wu Peifu and don't let him waste his efforts. Chen is not someone he can bribe!"
"General Chen misunderstood, Wu Peifu is not qualified yet, go a little further north." The visitor said with a smile.
"Is it Zhang Zhuoyan?" Chen Jiongming was immediately shocked. The Northeast and Guangdong and Guangxi were so far apart, how could Fengjun suddenly find him?
Chen Jiongming also knew that Zhang Tinglan had issued a telegram to criticize Sun Yat-sen, and the two sides had already fallen out. Now that someone from Fengjun was looking for him, there must be some conspiracy. Chen Jiongming wanted to expel the visitor directly, but he did not have the guts yet. After all, Zhang Tinglan and the other three
The weight of this word is still too heavy. He has hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves in his hands. He is simply impatient to offend him.
"This gentleman's surname is great. What business do you have with Chen?"
"General Chen, my name is Wang Fusheng, this unknown junior. I came to see General Chen this time. I want the general to abandon his secrets and turn to the bright side, so as not to be killed. I'm here to save you."
"Wang Fusheng, I respect Lan Shuai's reputation, but please don't push yourself too far and don't know what's good or bad!"
Wang Fusheng laughed loudly: "General Chen, there are people in this world who are foresight and others who are hindsight. I find that you are the third type of person without even realizing it!"
When Chen Jiongming heard the other party commenting on him like this, he immediately became angry and his eyes widened: "Tell me clearly how you did it unknowingly, otherwise Chen will never be polite."
Wang Fusheng was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "General Chen, Lan Shuai has been true to his words and resolute in his actions for so many years. Even the great powers will be defeated by him. Even a mere Sun Wen wants to be a dog to the great powers.
No one wants him, how can such a person escape from Lan Shuai's grasp?"
"Humph, no matter how powerful Zhang Tinglan is, he is far away in the northeast, thousands of miles away from Guangdong and Guangxi. How can he still fly over? The Guangdong army has all the favorable terrain and people, so it may not be impossible for him to fight for a while."
Wang Fusheng shook his head disapprovingly: "General Chen, you are smart and confused for a while. Lan Shuai wants to deal with Sun Wen. There is no need to send troops here. There are already people vying to be Lan Shuai's thugs!"
Chen Jiongming's face was full of disbelief: "I admire Lan Shuai for showing his power in a foreign land, but if you want to command the world, you can't just rely on this name. You must also show something real."
"That's right, General Chen. Do you think 30,000 water rifles, 200 mortars, 50 76mm mountain cannons, 20 152mm howitzers, ten combat aircraft, ten
Can an armored vehicle allow you to abandon Sun Wen?"
Every time Wang Fusheng said something, Chen Jiongming felt thirsty and dizzy. The Guangdong army is also considered a wealthy army in the country, but in terms of equipment level, it is still seriously lagging behind. Moreover, due to the lack of production capacity, a lot of heavy firepower is intended to
You can't even buy it.
Everything is a huge bargaining chip, which hits Chen Jiongming's heart hard. Once the Guangdong army has these things, such as heavy artillery, aircraft, and tanks, it can immediately replace its guns with cannons and become the most powerful army in the south. This attraction is simply amazing.
Can't refuse.
But Chen Jiongming also knew that if he wanted to obtain arms, he would have to work for Fengjun and completely abandon Sun Wen. He had to carefully weigh the stakes.
After a long while, Chen Jiongming gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Wang, although Chen is tempted by these things, he also knows that he is single and weak and cannot afford it, and he is not willing to bear the infamy. Please leave it to Mr. Wang!"
Wang Fusheng didn't care at all and walked away without leaving a word. Chen Jiongming also felt a little stunned. This Wang Fusheng wanted to persuade him, how could he leave so easily!
Just when Chen Jiongming was confused, Wang Fusheng had already walked to the door and said with a smile: "General Chen, you have integrity and integrity. Wang admires you, but I believe there are always people who will not refuse what is delivered to the door."
After Wang Fusheng finished speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Chen Jiongming dumbfounded. He finally figured out, what if he refused? There are other forces in Guangdong and Guangxi. Would everyone refuse to be offered pie in the sky? Obviously!
Chen Jiongming didn't believe that if his opponent got these arms, he would not only be able to kill Sun Wen, but he could also turn around and eliminate himself.
At this time, Chen Jiongming felt a sense of powerlessness. Fengjun had made it clear that he wanted to bribe him, and everything was fair and aboveboard. However, it turned out that he clearly knew that he wanted to use you as a gun, but not only could you not refuse, but you also had to fight to get him. Otherwise, you
Not even qualified to be a gun.
This was the most direct conspiracy, and it was upright, but there was no chance of opposition. After thinking about it, Chen Jiongming stood up suddenly, rushed outside, and chased him out in a panic. Wang Fusheng could no longer be seen in the distance.
figure.
Chen Jiongming's forehead was already sweating. If he missed this opportunity, he might not be able to gain a foothold in Guangdong and Guangxi in the future. He suddenly spread his legs and chased Wang Fusheng in a hurry.
Those guards had never seen Chen Jiongming so abnormal. They didn't know what happened, so they could only follow Chen Jiongming and run all the way.
After turning the corner, he finally saw Wang Fusheng's back from a distance. Chen Jiongming was also anxious and shouted loudly: "Mr. Wang, please stay. Chen was confused for a moment, please forgive me!"
Chen Jiongming caught up with Wang Fusheng out of breath. Wang Fusheng showed a proud smile on his face and returned to the reception room again. Chen Jiongming's attitude became more and more submissive.
"Mr. Wang, what are the arms just mentioned? Please tell me some details. Chen would be very grateful."
Wang Fusheng said with a smile: "This time to attack Sun Wen, Lan Shuai is not planning to send troops directly, but is preparing to provide a batch of arms. If any troops respond to Sun Wen's call and contribute, they will be qualified to bid.
The military will provide weapons at preferential prices. Of course, the quantity may be more than what I said, it all depends on the actual situation."
Only then did Chen Jiongming understand that these arms were not given as gifts, but that they had to be purchased, but at a discount. Fengjun did a good job, and he did not lose any money, so he made others obey orders and obey orders. Chen Jiongming really wanted to refuse it right away.
.But after he thought about it, he didn't dare to do it.
When life and death are at stake, you can't be petty and put the overall situation first. Chen Jiongming has always advocated federal provincial autonomy and wants to drive Lu Rongting of Guangxi out of Guangdong. If Lu Rongting gets the arms, I'm afraid he will never have a chance.
"Mr. Wang, Chen is willing to do things for Lan Shuai, but please tell me how he needs to act."
"Haha, General Chen is indeed a smart man. You just need to stand still and wait until the northern coalition forces come. At the critical moment, attack Sun Wen. Capture his followers in one fell swoop and don't let any of them go!"
After Wang Fusheng explained clearly, he turned around and left. The same thing happened to Lu Rongting, Tang Jiyao and others. They chose to continue to support Sun Wen, an unreliable and very great president, or to follow Fengjun's instructions and get some buy-ins.
Equipment you can't even buy.
Everyone knows this account well. The number of people who really support Sun Wen's party is rapidly decreasing. Feng Jun is buying and wooing here, and the coalition forces have been organized over there.
Wu Peifu also wanted to kill Sun Wen for a long time. Now the opportunity is ripe. With the strong support of Feng Jun, his chances of winning have doubled. Wu Peifu pulled out his most trusted third division. This division was equipped with Beiyang equipment.
The only heavy artillery regiment in the army, its firepower is so strong that no one except Fengjun can match it.
In addition to heavy artillery, Wu Peifu also equipped the Third Division with a large number of mortars and submachine guns. Feng Jun has helped transform the Gongxian Arsenal and is now able to produce mortar shells. Wu Peifu is now rich, and for Feng Jun
The artillery doctrine is also increasingly respected.
In addition to the third division, Wu Peifu mobilized two more divisions as auxiliary forces. At the same time, Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Hubei, Jiangsu and other places successively sent assisting forces. Their numbers were not large, except for Shanxi who sent a regiment.
Except for this, most of the others are a battalion, or even several companies, just for the purpose.
This is not because they are perfunctory, but because Wu Peifu and Zhang Tinglan requested that the battle against Sun Wen must be resolved quickly. If they wait for all provinces to mobilize their troops, it will waste too much time. Therefore, after consultation with Wu Peifu,
The Zhili Army dispatched the main force, and Fengjun provided some loans and arms assistance.
Wu Peifu was almost ready and was about to swear an oath and set off. At this moment, a small Fengjun unit of less than a hundred people arrived in Baoding. This was Xue Ju, the leader of Fengjun's special operations unit.
After meeting Wu Peifu, Xue Ju did not show any timidity, but said to his manager: "Xue Ju, the colonel leader of the Border Guard Special Forces Team, reported to General Wu and asked for instructions!"
Looking at the majestic and fierce Xue Ju, Wu Peifu couldn't help but nod. He really didn't know how Zhang Tinglan found him. This Xue Ju was obviously just a colonel, but his demeanor was even better than those
There should be enough generals. Fengjun is really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
"Captain Xue, when I look at the soldiers you have under your command, they are rare strong soldiers in the world. It's a pity that you, the commander of the regiment, can lead such a small number of people."
A smile suddenly appeared on Xue Ju's face: "Sir Wu, to be honest, I was promoted temporarily as the regiment commander. Before I came here, I was just a battalion commander. Moreover, the structure of our special operations force is different from that of ordinary troops. We can have so many people here."
The people are already very good!”
Wu Peifu frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Commander Xue, what exactly does this special operations force do, and how is it different from ordinary troops?"
"Sir Wu, the so-called special operations force is a force that conducts special operations. We are mainly responsible for infiltration and reconnaissance, sneak attacks and kidnappings, hostage rescue and other tasks."
When Wu Peifu heard this, he immediately became interested and said with a smile: "These tasks are not easy. I guess you all have special skills, right?"
Xue Ju said with a smile: "I don't dare to say that I have any special skills. It's just that my training is special and I shed more blood and sweat than others!"
Wu Peifu clearly felt the fierceness of Xue Ju and others. Compared with the ordinary army, Fengjun has too many weird things, but it turns out that these troops all have unique functions. Therefore, for the special operations troops, Wu Peifu
I don’t dare to underestimate you: “I look forward to you showing off your talents on the battlefield and making great achievements.”
"Commander, since Commander Xue has brought with him all the elites of the Fengjun Army, and the brothers also want to see what they are capable of, I wonder if we can let them show off their skills so that we can also open our eyes?"
It was Zhang Fulai who spoke. He was the commander of the Sixth Brigade. He had always followed Cao Kun and was a close confidant. The Third Division that Wu Peifu single-handedly raised was the cream of the Beiyang Army, and all the generals under him also cared about it.
They were arrogant and disobedient to others. Facing Fengjun, they were not to be outdone, so Zhang Fulai took the initiative to challenge.
This challenge was not arranged by Wu Peifu. He immediately darkened his face and reprimanded loudly: "Captain Xue and the others are guests from afar. Is this how you treat guests?"
Wu Peifu glared, and Zhang Fulai had no choice but to retreat. Xue Ju also saw the Zhijun's dissatisfaction. It was normal for the Zhijun to show off their power when they first arrived.
However, Xue Ju secretly laughed in his heart. He wanted to take advantage of the special forces. He was simply wishful thinking, so he smiled and said: "Sir Wu, the ancients also emphasized the use of force to make friends. Why should we fight side by side on the battlefield? If we don't understand each other, we won't be able to do anything."
We should work together and communicate with each other!"
Xue Ju took the initiative to accept the challenge, and Wu Peifu could only say with a calm face: "Since Captain Xue agrees, let's stop there and don't hurt the harmony between the two parties."
At this time, Zhang Fulai and others rejoiced, and a burly man walked out from the ranks of the Zhili Army. He was 1.85 meters tall, with thick arms and strong legs.
Zhang Fulai smiled and said: "Captain Xue, his name is Gao Chuang. He once studied martial arts in Shaolin. No one can compare with him in terms of fists and kicks."
Xue Ju glanced at this silly big man, with a slight smile on his lips. He waved his hand casually, and a soldier ran out from the team. He was only over 1.60 meters tall. He looked gentle, very thin, and
Compared with Gao Chuang, the gap is really huge.
The Beiyang troops who had crowded over to watch the excitement all burst into laughter. This seemed to be a battle without any suspense. Some of them even shouted loudly, asking Gao Chuang to defeat the opponent with one punch.
Gao Chuang curled his lips and didn't care. He didn't pay attention to his opponent at all. The two sides circled twice, and Gao Chuang suddenly pushed out a palm. According to his idea, the opponent would fall to the ground all of a sudden.
Unexpectedly, after pushing out the palm, the person in front of him disappeared. Just when he didn't figure out what was going on, he only felt that his soft ribs were hit hard. He suddenly became unstable, took a few steps back, and fell on the ground.
on the ground.
From Gao Chuang taking action to falling to the ground, it took less than two seconds. This change was so fast that the soldiers of the Beiyang Army were all dumbfounded. Gao Chuang was a recognized master, how could he be so unbearable?
At the first blow, they all screamed.
At this time, Gao Chuang climbed up from the ground with difficulty and said viciously: "I was careless just now and let you take advantage of it. It won't be so easy this time!"
