However, the Chinese warlords set another record: stragglers plundered civilians in the melee, and even turned into bandits.As the president of the Republic of China, Li Yuanhong also had to admit: "If you send them, the soldiers will scatter and become bandits, and if you recruit them, the bandits will gather as soldiers." ”With such a degree of equipment, such a spiritual quality, and such a group of troops close to the rabble, it is not difficult to explain that they will fight against the well-equipped and well-trained Japanese army on the main battlefield of defending the country under the unified leadership of the bald brother.For China, which was in a difficult situation at the time, the First World War was a huge strategic opportunity, because the Western powers were killing each other, and naturally there was no time for other care.It is a pity that China, which is poor and weak, because of Yuan Shikai's one step and Sun Yat-sen's continuous revolution, has led to the dispute between the political system and doctrine between the north and the south, which has evolved into a situation of incompatibility.The country's industrialization has not been put on the agenda for a long time, and expendable military expenditures remain high, and this consumption is not external but internal.The once-emerging civilian industrial and commercial enterprises could only take advantage of the opportunity to produce and sell some light industrial products, plus send some cheap Chinese laborers to the European battlefield, but did nothing in the construction and innovation of the vital military industry.In order to seize territory and occupy the mountains, the warlords of various sides have also engaged in an "arms race" with the money they have looted, vying to purchase arms from Japan, Russia, and the European and American powers.Until it was defeated by the Japanese Kwantung Army, which suddenly launched the "918 Incident", there were still many ordered European and American planes at the Northeast Army airfield under Zhang Xueliang who had not had time to unpack.Gao Zhihang, the later hero of the anti-Japanese air war, was the former pilot of the Northeast Army, and when he was appointed by Zhang Xueliang to negotiate the purchase of aircraft in Italy, his flying skills were also praised by the dictator Mussolini.President Meng was very happy to see Wang Dashan and Chen Xia, and arranged the meeting as soon as possible.This is very rare for President Meng, who does President Meng see, always likes to wait a few days, especially for foreigners, domestic officials want to see President Meng, at least two or three days later, two or three days, that's still when things are urgent, things are not in a hurry, wait longer.President Meng is actually a person who loves to play scores, and it is not a pure score, but also because President Meng's current working hours are very short, and he only works five or six hours a day.Wang Dashan and Chen Xia are both in military uniforms, Wang Dashan wears a military hat, occupies a straight position, he already has the rank of general, he is the fourth in the Chinese army to obtain the rank of general, and the commanders of other newly formed divisions are basically still with the rank of lieutenant colonel, or the rank of colonel, and there is no colonel, and even one is a major.If the Chinese army wants to be promoted, it must look at the merits, graduated from the military academy, and it is not directly an officer, but also needs to train and work like the soldiers, but the people who come out of the military academy will have more opportunities for promotion Moreover, the officers are generally already platoon commanders or company commanders These people are selected to enter the military academy for training, and they must start from the soldiers when they come back, this is a very special place in the Chinese army, but this system also makes the rapid rise of the Chinese army Officers and soldiers have their own hierarchy, which is very strict, and all people are in a competitive relationship, but, no matter before, No matter in the future, if I am now your officer, you will swear to obey me, and most of the Chinese army will have the qualification to directly shoot soldiers, which is also very cruel.No country has such a precedent.Chen Xia is wearing a women's military cap, since the second change of clothing in 1974, the female soldiers of the Chinese army have their own military uniforms, different from male soldiers, in addition to the female soldiers of the special forces, female soldiers can also wear skirts.The special thing about Chen Xia's military hat is that a veil is added, which is Chen Xia's habit, except for seeing the president, she wears a veil, and now she has taken it off."
Arrange a luncheon."
President Meng walked out of it, looked at the two happily, and then said to Liu Yuqing.Liu Yuqing, who was dressed in a snow-white cheongsam, agreed and hurriedly arranged it, President Meng likes to see Liu Yuqing wearing a cheongsam, so in the president's secretariat, only Liu Yuqing wears a cheongsam, and everyone else wears military uniforms.Princess Katrina Kafu was a little jealous of Liu Yuqing a while ago, and she also wanted to wear a cheongsam, but she found that her figure was too plump, and she didn't look good in a cheongsam, so she didn't bother to wear a cheongsam, and occasionally wore a dress, and President Meng also praised it.However, President Moe believes that Princess Katrina Kafu still looks best in a military uniform."
Okay, I'll get it ready right away."
Liu Yuqing smiled slightly at Wang Dashan and Chen Xia, looking like a hostess.Princess Katrina Kafu smiled, she was not jealous, she and Liu Yuqing had already been in a relationship, and Princess Katrina Kafu was a very smart woman, she knew that the president did not like narrow-minded people the most, she had her own advantages, and there was no need to fully occupy the president in life."
Captain Chen, Master Wang, let's have tea first."
Princess Katrina Kaaf smiled slightly.Wang Dashan and Chen Xia hurriedly bowed to Princess Katrina Kaf.President Meng smiled: "Sit down, you are all my closest subordinates, you don't need to be polite." ”President Moe sat on the sofa in the middle.Wang Dashan and Chen Xia sat on both sides and sat straight."
Looking at our war against Russia now, I estimate that it is only a third of the way, I don't look at it from the point of view of time, but from the point of view of the process, Tsarist Russia, at least has the ability to come up with about 200,000 troops, this is what we have shown through conclusive intelligence, their total strength is about 600,000, and there is also the task of defending Europe, 200,000 is the limit of what they can get to the Asian battlefield, if they grit their teeth, or get a huge loan, 300,000 is also possible."
President Moe said to two people.Wang Dashan and Chen Xia listened quietly, not needing them to speak, because the president was not asking them, but more like talking to himself."
So, we can't defend now, waiting for Tsarist Russia to attack step by step, it's too passive, you have to take the initiative, Dashan, I plan to let you take the people of the headquarters, first reorganize into two brigades, and let the Second Field Division of the Chinese Army complete the establishment of a reorganized division, you have to endure some hardships, endure some hardships, how about going behind enemy lines" President Meng looked at Wang Dashan and continued.Wang Dashan immediately stood up, "It's not bitter, it's not bitter, I'll do whatever the president asks me to do" President Meng smiled and pressed his hand, "Sit down and talk, don't be so nervous, today is a family banquet."
It is not bitter to be false, and in particular, it is necessary to reduce your establishment, but behind enemy lines, there are more opportunities for meritorious service, and the steely troops are all fought by steely wars, and I believe that your Third Field Division of the Chinese Army has this ability, and from now on, the Third Division will be the main force of the Chinese Army, not the echelon of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army and the Second Field Division of the Chinese Army. ”President Meng's words, Wang Dashan's blood was boiling, and his eyes were red, "Yes, thank you President for the opportunity, such a difficult task was entrusted to our Third Division, and I feel a great responsibility, but our Third Division has withdrawn, and the Second Division is a division, can we hold the Turukhansk battlefield, Lao Maozi will try to attack if he is cold, and I don't know when a large-scale offensive will be launched." ”President Meng smiled, "Then it depends on how well you fight behind enemy lines, and it's not exactly behind enemy lines, you come here." ”President Meng called Wang Dashan and went to the edge of the huge map.Chen Xia stood up, but did not come.President Meng smiled at Chen Xia and said, "Captain, you come over too." ”"Yes, President."
It is a matter of high-level military secrets, and an ace agent like Chen Xia is very vigilant in this regard, and the president did not call himself over, so he was naturally embarrassed to go over.It's not that I'm embarrassed, I won't go over, and now that the president has called, she hurried over."
This also has something to do with your statistical bureau, in the new three provinces, you are the top person in charge of the statistical bureau, you need to listen to my thoughts, and you can also talk about your own experience."
President Meng smiled.Chen Xia sneered, nodded, very calm, more calm than men, although Chen Xia is not beautiful, it can be said that it is ordinary, but it is a good-looking type, the most important thing, if you don't look carefully, she is like all ordinary Chinese women, it is easy for people to forget what she looks like, it seems that she was born to be a special agent, she is the daughter of a darthead, when she was in Tianjin, she was recommended by Zhang Decheng and Wei Kuiheng.t1706231537:
