Beiyang 1917

"As the senior generals of the model army, you will have to command an army of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands in the future. You must take a long-term view. The three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. It's okay, you guys should think about it yourself, don't worry about everything. I hope that I, the supervisor, will help you think the same way. The general direction has been set, so just work hard. The Model Army is far from the stage where it has to rely on conspiracy and tricks to live. Now everything is for the construction of the army, and everything starts from scratch. Every five of you One must be aboveboard and have a clear conscience!"

Wang Geng grinned and scolded others. The five great King Kongs stood upright in front of them without daring to take a breath, thinking about the meaning behind the supervisor's words.

"Report to the supervisor! I am upright and have a clear conscience, and remember my humble position!" Xue Dubi was the first to show his loyalty.

"Xue Dubi, your Military Law Office and the Gendarmerie are a mirror of the model army. Military appearance, military discipline, culture and military skills must walk in front of the whole army. You are the model of the model, the model of the model, and the publicity window of the model army. It’s up to you Gendarmerie to hold the scene! Do you understand?” Wang Geng didn’t even know how the word “hold” burst out without paying attention.

"I understand the humble job!" Xue Dubi was full of military temperament, standing at attention with a click, and the heels of his boots slammed, but he was thinking in his heart that he had to analyze with his brother how to make the gendarmerie "squeak" the scene!

"You guys are all high-achieving military academy students with professional backgrounds. How to lead and train soldiers, you should think about it for yourself later. The training outline I made last time may not be suitable for all soldiers. You have to use your own brains, Chief of Staff Jiang. , since your staff headquarters is the brain of the headquarters, the team building of the headquarters and the next work plan must be figured out for me as soon as possible!"

"Captain Shi! Chief of Staff Liu, the teaching group must give me regular training. The copycat version is a local method of last resort in the early days. The qualifications of your high-level military academy graduates are not for you to bring a bunch of bandits! I understand. No?" Wang Geng continued to shout.

"I understand the rank! Don't worry about the supervisor! The teaching team will definitely become the model of the model, the regular of the regular, and the trump card of the trump card!" Shi Jingting was angry with the training, and promised with a loud voice.Liu Yufen on the side clenched her fists, already thinking about how to deal with the banditry habits of the three battalion commanders when they went back to the regiment.

Jiang Hongyu stood upright and didn't make a sound, but he was complaining in his heart. He was not superhuman, Wang Geng was just a shopkeeper, and he, the chief of staff of the staff headquarters, presided over the daily affairs of the headquarters for him. The team of the next department has just been formed, and the team of the recruitment office has just been sent out.

During Wang Geng’s meeting, he assigned a lot of work. He also asked himself to start buying land around, surveying train feeder roads, building barracks and warehouses, and organizing the arsenal. He also asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrange Qian repaired the river defense of Yongding River, cleaned up and rectified the kilns near Nanyuan, and built a military hospital...

"Chief of Staff Jiang, I know that you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. In a word, rely on all the officers and soldiers to brainstorm. I believe that you can not only do the few things I said today, but also come up with more army building and military-civilian communist measures." The way to build a harmonious garrison! I remember that the graduates of the Baoding Military Academy can pick up all the graduates! If you come, you can just give it to the lieutenant!" Wang Geng encouraged his chief of staff at the right time.

"Don't worry about the supervisor, Jiang Hongyu is highly regarded by the supervisor and has the help of all the gentlemen present here, so he will pay for it with death! Never let the supervisor lose the chain!" Jiang Hongyu gave a salute.

"That's great. You are all my chosen ones. I hope that everyone will unite sincerely. Now it is far from the time to separate families. The Model Army must unite to survive. The time left for us is really tight. Please take care of yourself!" Wang Geng encouraged the crowd with a few words, waved his hand to bid farewell to them, and then left Nanyuan and returned to the city under the protection of Zhang Zizhong's company of guards.

Jiang Hongyu and others sent out the gate of the headquarters. Looking at the supervising convoy leaving in a hurry, the five kings looked at each other in blank dismay. They thought that they had really learned how their own superintendents behaved as hands-off shopkeepers. A group of people returned to the headquarters. Hold a small meeting to see how to implement these tasks assigned by the supervisor.

Wang Geng went back to the city and arrived at the gate of his house, but he remembered Yixiangyuan and Xiaoyuxian, so he called Duan Tiezhu and told him to take a few plainclothes guards to Yixiangyuan to help Zhang Luo one or two, and stay there to watch the yard if nothing happened. Until the renovation was completed, the house on Shifuma Avenue was protected by Zhang Zizhong's guards, and Xia Shan still followed him closely.

Duan Tiezhu is old after all, although the supervisor Hu Tian and Emperor Hu went to the kiln and did not return at night and took the kiln sister as the housekeeper. The loyal family from the old Duan's mansion may have some ideas in their hearts, but they still nodded and took them there.

The two girls Chunni and Xiacao were confiscated by Wang Geng yesterday, and they were lingering all night. They couldn't get out of bed all morning. When Wang Geng entered the room, the two girls blushed and struggled to get up. , but was pushed back to the bed by Wang Geng, he hugged the two and took a sip of incense on their faces, and said with a smile,

"What are you doing when you have nothing to do? I asked the kitchen to stew pigeons for you, and I kept them well. It was the first time yesterday that it hurt and bled so badly, and it won't happen in the future!"

"Grandpa... Are you telling the truth?...Grandpa's big one is really amazing. It really scared the girls to death last night..." Chunni's face was so red that blood dripped down. But Cao put his arms around Wang Geng's waist and held on tightly, buried his face on Wang Geng's back, mumbling in his mouth and didn't know what he was talking about.

"Scared to death? It's not that I haven't served my master to take a bath. What's so scary? Did you realize the beauty later?" Wang Geng couldn't help but kissed the big maid in his arms again, while hugging Xia Cao Rubbing gently in her arms a few times, the faces of the two little girls were full of embarrassment and happiness.

Wang Geng ordered the kitchen to prepare delicious and light meals, and then he ate on the bed after feeding the two girls. He ate with the guards and was waiting for a reply.

What Xia Shan handed over was still a thick stack of invitations, all of which were dinner invitations. Wang Geng flipped through them, and today not only the American Minister Rui Enshi continued to hand over the invitations, but even the Japanese Minister Lin Quanzhu also handed over the invitations.

"Could it be that there has been feedback from Japan on the conditions for participating in the war?" Wang Geng was thinking, because of the time difference, the US government would have to reply to Rui Enshi tonight at the earliest, so he was not in a hurry to meet the US envoy, Japan There is a real possibility that there will be an answer this morning.

Having made up his mind, Wang Geng ordered Xia Shan to notify the Japanese embassy, ​​and Wang Geng, the supervisor of the war preparations, went to the Sakura House in Dongjiaomin Lane to have afternoon tea with Minister Lin on time at three o'clock this afternoon.

Then Wang Geng thought about the matter of sworn brotherhood with Lu Ding and other guys the night before and what kind of revitalization meeting they were doing. How could these experts in the financial world come to their door and not be caged, so he picked up the phone and asked Lu Ding directly. At home, not at home.

It was Mrs. Lu Wu Manhua who answered the phone. Obviously, Wang Geng's strange voice aroused the other party's curiosity. After Wang Geng reported his family, Mrs. Lu smiled and said that it was Mrs. Wang who was in charge. The people in charge are all supervised by you, Wang Geng. We are fellow villagers. I heard that my family is sworn brother with the supervisor. This Changzhou is next to Wuxi. Brother Wang must come to our house when he is free.

Wang Geng agreed with a smile, saying that he had nothing to do, and would definitely come to visit his wife when he had time. He also found out that Lu Ding was supposed to be in charge of the Ministry of Finance and would usually come back in the evening.

When he put down the receiver, Wang Geng couldn't help but smacked his mouth. Although his future mother-in-law was from Changzhou, she spoke crisp Beijing dialect, which sounded very pleasant. I just don't know whether Lu Mei looks like his mother or Lu Ding.

Picking up the phone, I want to call Lu Ding to thank him for the gift from Yixiangyuan, but I feel that there is no need to talk to him about these personal matters at work because there are too many people in the finance department. The thought of calling the Bank of China to find Zhang Jiaao was also put down.

Wang Geng pondered for a while, but asked for the call to the home of Xu Shuzheng, the Deputy Chief of the Army. It was still the calm and majestic female voice, "Secretary Chief Xu has gone to work in the State Council...Ah, Wang Geng is in charge of it? What do you want me to do?" Tell me?"

Wang Geng smiled and said that his sister-in-law greeted her and said it was nothing. When he went to the Prime Minister's Office, he would always meet Deputy Chief Xu. It would not be too late, and he would definitely come to see his sister-in-law when he was free.

Putting down the phone, Wang Geng thought to himself that Xu Shuzheng's family had one wife and three concubines. If he, the deputy chief of the army, was not around, he wouldn't dare to go and see his sisters-in-law.
