Xikang's mysterious activities aroused the suspicion of many countries and people. The Japanese did not dare to come. The Yangtze River Basin was the British's sphere of influence. Secondly, they were afraid of being attacked. Warships in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River would undoubtedly die.
, these Chinese warlords have planes
But the British are different. They have been walking sideways on the Yangtze River. In the past, they were not very sad west of the Minjiang River. Their experiences were mainly concentrated in Chongqing and Chengdu. So last time Wang Jiuling asked other foreigners to evacuate, otherwise they will not be responsible for their personal safety.
Safety, although they protested strongly, the Xikang government killed a group of opium sellers in the subsequent crackdown, and the Chinese people gradually became silent, and they didn't care about him at all. In addition, the Japanese two ships
After the destruction of the warship, the British became more at ease, but how long did it take for the United States to discover a large amount of mineral deposits in Panzhihua, and Xikang chose to cooperate with the Germans instead of looking for the British. This made the British so angry that they vomited blood. According to the laws of nature,
, mineral deposits are generally in groups, which means that with the Lanjian Iron Mine, there must be many other iron mines that have not been developed, and the British proposal was also rejected by Wang Jiuling
So this time the British came to test Xikang's bottom line. Unfortunately, the cruisers and battleships were too big. Otherwise, they would have been brought in to show the Xikang warlords how dare they defy the British Empire.
Today, the British destroyer wanted to forcibly sail up the river from Yibin, but the destroyer, which had been renamed Xikang, was waiting for him at the fort. After repeated warnings failed, a lime bomb with lime inside was fired from the fort.
One shot hit the British destroyer. The British people looked like they had come out of a pile of flour. Many of them were rolling around on the ground with their eyes covered.
The British sickly beard standing on the deck, his eyebrows were all covered with lime. He wanted to fire very much, but he didn't dare. The river was too narrow. Then the destroyer and fort of the Xikang Army would bombard them with cannonballs from both sides.
Time is not a lime cannonball
If other local warlords have battleships, he is not afraid, but this Chinese warlord is really afraid. It is said that none of the two Japanese dwarf monkeys are out or out.
The captain of the British destroyer thought for a while and decided to go back. The guns of the Xikang Army's warships were pointing at them, and the people over there were also shouting that if they didn't leave, they would be waiting with cannons. The heroes would not suffer the immediate loss and would have a chance to take revenge.
What's more, the British comforted themselves and withdrew, not forgetting to hit a few fishing boats on the way to vent their anger.
…
In early June 1933, all construction in Wangjiuling had been started. While vigorously producing, a group of ten thousand Germans finally arrived. However, most of them were sent by Germany to help repair the railway, so they were arranged on the front line of the railway.
Responsible for technical matters
These Germans are different from the group of people from Falkenhausen. They all wear stormtrooper uniforms and carry hoes or German shovels. They are exactly the same as the German construction army in later videos.
Wang Jiuling's young men are like that, but their clothes are not as cool as theirs. Who said that Wang Jiuling is not as rich as the Germans? They have nothing. But those young men are drooling when they look at the Nazi clothes. Fortunately, they are
The clothes were much better than the patched clothes they wore before. Wang Jiuling secretly vowed to design more handsome clothes in the future. In that case, people would also be willing to serve as soldiers. But speaking of this group of young men, after several months of training, and
The physical exertion has made them stronger and stronger. Now they can become excellent soldiers with only half a year of military training.
As soon as the German officers arrived, Wang Jiuling first gathered the chief officers above the middle platoon and accepted them to study at the Army University. The lecturers for them were of course German generals. After these people left, their troops would be taken over by their deputies.
In the army, each company has a German officer in charge of training. As for the courses, Wang Jiuling accepted the lessons from the history of German officers training the national army. All courses were formulated by Wang Jiuling and the German officers.
At first the German officers were not satisfied with Wang Jiuling's intervention in the training, but after Wang Jiuling analyzed China's national conditions and Germany's national conditions and pointed out the benefits of modification and the disadvantages of not modifying, the Germans gave in.
What Wang Jiuling said makes sense. Different national conditions require adapting to local conditions, rather than blindly pursuing the best. Good may not necessarily suit you, and what suits you may not necessarily be the best. However, Wang Jiuling believes that as long as it is suitable, there is no need to be too pushy.
Wang Jiuling's troops will also be reorganized, but there will not be much change in the organization. The German officers watched the drills of the Xikang Army and couldn't believe it. Although they were not comparable to their National Defense Forces, the military quality of the Xikang Army was definitely the highest in China.
Yes, many of these people are literate now. Wang Jiuling’s hard work for so long cannot be in vain!
Wang Jiuling told the German officers that he hoped that Xikang's 70,000-strong army would be as elite as the German Wehrmacht, and that as soon as the war started, the army could be expanded to one million men.
Only then did the German officers understand why Wang Jiuling had changed their plan again and again, and in many places the changes were much stricter than theirs. It was not like training different soldiers at all, but like training non-commissioned officers. Unexpectedly, it was really true.
That's it
The Germans felt that the teaching group they proposed was of little significance because the young warlord in front of them planned to turn all his troops into officers, and judging from a series of drills, it was indeed achievable. All the people here were literate.
Even Germany in World War I couldn't do it, let alone other Chinese armies. It is said that many brigade commanders and division commanders in other Chinese armies are illiterate, although in the eyes of the Germans it is simply unimaginable how those officers fought.
Yes, but that's true
The Germans believe that Wang Jiuling is serious, but they like serious people, because Germans are famous for their rigor, but they will soon like Xikang, because it is different from other places in China. Here they do not have to find someone.
Because of the feelings of these big guys, they only need to train the Xikang Army in the German style, but they are not allowed to humiliate or abuse the soldiers. If there is anything else, Wang Jiuling is responsible for it.
It turns out that the Germans are really worried about this, because they were told that China values human relations, so sometimes they should not be too harsh, otherwise they will easily offend those big families, but now there is no need at all, because the young
The general has already promised, and this is not China's Central Army. At the same time, the general's insights tell them that he is different.
