......"

In the tavern, the storyteller stopped talking about Three Kingdoms, Eastern and Western Han, Water Margin Liaozhai Journey to the West, and changed his career to become a political commentator.After reading the above, he said to all the audience: "Everyone, everyone understands. This is the "Sino-Japanese Covenant" signed by Sun Wen and the Japanese. Everyone has heard how many benefits the Japanese have promised. This thing is much more powerful than President Yuan Da’s 21 Articles, in a word, if you sign this thing, the country will be finished, and we are all slaves of the Japanese!”

The storyteller shook his head and sighed, and said, "As the saying goes, it is difficult to paint a dragon or a tiger, but it is difficult to know people's faces but not their hearts. There is a saying that Zhou Gong was afraid of gossip days, and when Wang Mang was humble and humble, there were countless masks in this world. One piece, another piece, until the end, it is really difficult to distinguish the authenticity. Take Sun Wen as an example, over the years, when he opened his mouth, it was not for the country and the people, and when it was not benevolence and morality, but how nice he said , It’s better to see what he did.”

"Sir, do you think this Sun Wen can be so mad? According to this covenant, wouldn't he become the son-in-law of the Japanese?"

The storyteller smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly.Then he said: "The emperor is also an emperor, which is better than nothing now. Speaking of fighting for power and profit, besides, people have families in Japan. If they have a Japanese daughter-in-law, they can be regarded as the son-in-law of the Japanese." , there is nothing wrong with facing my father-in-law!"

"Sir, what you said is too insulting. A son-in-law is half a son, isn't he still beating around the bush and saying that he is the emperor?"

The audience below all burst into laughter.Chinese wine, rice and teahouses.These things are being said everywhere.After all, some things are so explosive that everyone can't help paying attention.

The city of Guangzhou was destroyed, and a large number of Japanese arms were found, including rifles and artillery.They were all transported in front of the people of Guangzhou, and everyone could see them clearly.No one can deny it.

In addition to arms.A large number of correspondence documents were discovered one after another. In addition, Feng Yong and the others arrested a large number of members of the Democratic Party and took out a large number of useful things from their mouths.How did Sun Wen make friends with Japanese politicians, how did he get a family in Japan, and how much Japanese aid he received in total.

In addition to collusion with foreign countries, a large number of domestic problems have been revealed.For example, who killed Tao Chengzhang, the leader of the Restoration Society, who killed the famous reporter Huang Yuanyong, and even some cases of Song Jiaoren and Chen Qimei have been found suspicious.

Originally these assassinations, these struggles.At that time, it was the focus of debate among the people. At the beginning, Lao Yuan was focused on expanding his power, and even ascended the throne to become the emperor. As a result, his character was bad, so all problems were pushed to him, and Lao Yuan became unable to argue.

But now that these terrible things have been revealed, everyone's imaginations are running wild. It turns out that Sun Wen may be worse than Yuan Shikai. If Lao Yuan is a villain, then Sun Wen is a hypocrite through and through, a real lackey!

With the disclosure of letters and documents and the confessions of members of the Democratic Party, more and more evidence points to Sun Wen, the former leader of the Revolutionary Party. Trust is getting lower and lower, and even the Democratic Party has a tendency to become a street mouse.

The members who originally joined the Democratic Party all quit voluntarily, otherwise just the contemptuous looks from around would make people want to get into the cracks in the ground.This is not only the case in China, but also a lot of propaganda against Sun Wen has appeared overseas, especially among overseas Chinese, which has set off a huge wave.

In order to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese provided a lot of financial assistance to Sun Wen, but a lot of money was unclear.Tao Chengzhang accused Sun Wen of embezzlement and donations. In the end, Sun Wen became angry and sent someone to assassinate Tao Chengzhang.

There are also many overseas Chinese who question Sun Wen, but they have no evidence, so not many people are convinced, but now it is different, the evidence is right in front of them, and you can't help but not believe it.

In the future, it will be very difficult for the Democratic Party to use overseas as its base, solicit large sums of money, and trick young people into joining them.This propaganda war is tantamount to cutting the roots of the Democratic Party at home and abroad.

Feng Yong and the others have also completed their missions, and the important criminals of the Democratic Party, as well as the captured evidence, have also been temporarily handed over to Wu Peifu.How to interrogate depends on Beiyang's intentions. After all, Beiyang has borne a lot of infamy for the Democratic Party for so many years. Now that he has the opportunity to get it back, Wu Peifu will not be soft-hearted!

Of course, Zhang Tinglan has to fulfill his promise to provide arms and weapons to these warlords in the south, but Feng Yong and the others don't need to take care of this kind of thing anymore, so all Fengjun left Guangzhou and rushed back to Fengtian as quickly as possible.

Although the number of troops sent this time is limited, it has also greatly tempered the team, especially the engineers, who have enriched the combat experience in different terrains, which will be of great help to the future operations of the Feng army.

Zhang Tinglan personally led a team to welcome Feng Yong and others back. After the meeting, Feng Yong sent a check to Zhang Tinglan.

"Commander, this is the 500 million military expenditures given to Sun Wen by the Japanese. As a result, Sun Wen was seized by us before he had time to squander it. It is up to the commander to decide how to deal with it."

Feng Yong said, and sent the check to Zhang Tinglan. Of course, they seized not only the check, but also a large number of weapons.These weapons were of a different standard from the Fengjun's, and the Fengjun didn't look down on the rags of the Japanese, so they simply left them all to Beiyang.

Zhang Tinglan took the check and nodded slightly: "This money can't be wasted, so it should be invested in Yanchang Mine. We can't just import oil from the United States, but also learn to refine oil ourselves. We need to develop the petrochemical industry."

When Feng Yong heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Marshal, I have long been looking forward to self-produced oil. Now that there are more and more Air Force aircraft, the daily training consumption alone is a considerable amount. , definitely not."

"That's right, Feng Yuxiang has already entered the northwest, and our personnel have followed up. I believe that the oil problem will be resolved soon."

Although Sun Wen was not captured or killed, at least he was stinked, which has achieved his goal.The power of the Democratic Party is in the future power map.It is already difficult to occupy a place, and a huge hidden danger has been cut.Of course Zhang Tinglan was extremely happy.

"Everyone. The Democratic Party's influence has been basically eliminated. Even if there is a chance to make a comeback, it will take a long time. We must seize the rare opportunities at home and abroad, develop well, and lay a solid foundation. We urgently need strength."

Zhang Tinglan is already setting up the next task. In terms of the army, Fengjun needs a large-scale refit and training to completely build a modern army.On the economic front.The main task is to consolidate the industrial foundation and increase the production capacity. Zhang Tinglan has set a goal, that is, within three years, in the field of steel and other major industrial products, it must reach 60.00% of the Japanese.

Counting from the Meiji Restoration, Japan has experienced decades of accumulation, and there are still great difficulties in trying to surpass it easily.But Japan is an island country with fatal resource shortages and must rely on the sea lifeline.In wartime, it is possible to harass the sea route, jam the neck of the Japanese, and hang Little Japan to death.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, Fengjun's industrial production capacity must reach 60.00% of the Japanese, otherwise it will be difficult for Fengjun to gain the upper hand in the war of attrition at sea.

From having nothing in the past to now, although the Japanese are still far ahead, Feng Jun can already see their backs. This change makes Feng Jun particularly excited.

The celebration banquet also became extremely lively. Almost everyone was drunk, even Jiang Baili, who seldom drank alcohol, was also drunk. The entire commander's mansion was full of laughter and laughter.

After another day, Zhang Tinglan managed to recover a bit of energy, and Yang Yuting came to him: "Zhuoyan, do you feel bad about the hangover?"

"Indeed, I have a terrible headache. I hope Lin Ge can send me some good news, otherwise the headache will be even worse!"

"A good thing, guaranteed to be a good thing!" Yang Yuting laughed and said, "Feng Yuxiang has received news that his troops have entered Gansu. Just a few days ago, he just wiped out a group of local armed forces. Many people, won a good start."

"That's right. I didn't expect Feng Yuxiang's knife to be quite sharp. Does he have any requests?"

Yang Yuting said with a smile: "He didn't say what he wanted in the telegram, but in my opinion, he still wants arms. He mentioned the threat of the cavalry of the Majia Army in the Northwest more than once, so he allocated some machine guns, which can kill people." Cavalry is the easiest."

Zhang Tinglan has always been very concerned about the Northwest. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the central government has basically lost control of the Northwest. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Local ethnic and religious forces have become entangled and have become a mess.

The northwest is of great value in the entire Chinese strategic chessboard, and Zhang Tinglan is of course looking forward to a quick solution to this problem.

After Feng Yuxiang led his troops into the Northwest, it certainly aroused the vigilance of the Ma family army, but they did not dare to take any drastic actions. After all, on the surface they still have to respect the appointment of the central government, but in secret they also kept in touch and discussed together. The way to deal with Feng Yuxiang.

Naturally, Ma Jiajun's actions could not be concealed from Feng Yuxiang. He had Feng Jun's backing behind him, so naturally he would not be afraid of the Ma Jiajun.After arriving in Lanzhou, the first order Feng Yuxiang announced was the ban on guns. The Northwest must strengthen law and order and collect all illegal guns and weapons.

The reason why the Han people lost so much during the Tongzhi rebellion was because the Han people had no tradition of hiding weapons, so they were massacred.Feng Yuxiang's first order was to ban guns, in order to prevent such tragedies from happening again.

Obviously, this policy hit the Ma's Army's sore spot at once. More than two-thirds of their troops are not regular troops, but local militias.These militia groups usually do not pay military salaries, only when they fight and grab spoils will they be distributed to them.

Therefore, these militias are often more militant and crazy than the regular army.Feng Yuxiang's ban on guns was slashed at these militias with a single knife. Once accepted, the power of the militias would be abolished directly. This was something that Ma's army could not accept anyway.

It's just that they still don't know the details of Feng Yuxiang, so they didn't rush to oppose Feng Yuxiang, but encouraged a relatively small force to take the lead in opposing Feng Yuxiang.Unexpectedly, Feng Yuxiang was also a ruthless type, and he directly dispatched the army to wipe out all this group of people. There were more than 2000 people, and no one was left alive.

When the Ma family army sent people to look at it, there were only corpses left on the ground, and there were still many wolves tearing at them, and there were stumps and broken legs everywhere, like hell.Even Ma Jiajun, who was used to seeing life and death, also felt his scalp explode.

Since this conflict, the contradiction between Ma Jiajun and Feng Yuxiang has become more and more serious. Both sides are actively dispatching troops and generals, and they are ready to fight to the death.

"Early fighting is better than late fighting, big fighting is better than small fighting, let Feng Yuxiang let go, no matter how much he consumes, I will make up for him!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuting smiled and said, "Zhuoyan, it's not your style to be so generous to Feng Yuxiang?"

"I have to do this. We are changing gear faster and faster. The next step is that the army will use a large number of vehicles. In addition, the navy and air force will also consume a lot of fuel. If you can't produce it yourself, just rely on imports. Not only is it expensive, but also Once it’s wartime, it’s easy to be cut off, and once you’re strangled, it’s not a good feeling.”

"Well, Zhuoyan is really far-sighted, but you can't just give Feng Yuxiang things. This guy has surrendered to many people. He is a full-fledged rebel. We should send an officer corps there to teach them how to use new weapons in name, and control them secretly. This force."

Zhang Tinglan immediately nodded in agreement. The Northwest issue finally had some clues. She only hoped that the Ma's army could be wiped out quickly and the hidden danger of division would be eliminated.

Just as Zhang Tinglan had just completed the layout, Tao Jiping came to the commander's mansion with a happy face. As soon as we met, he smiled and said: "Marshal, we have newly developed a tank with a 45mm caliber main gun, and the weight has broken through. Thirteen tons, the overall performance has been greatly improved compared with the previous tanks, after my observation, compared with the surrounding countries, this tank has an overwhelming advantage, and it can become a new generation of iron fist."

The tank is known as the king of land warfare, and it is also the weapon that Zhang Tinglan pays most attention to. Now that there is a new breakthrough, he is also overjoyed!

"Minister Tao, go and see the actual situation first. It's a mule or a horse. Take it out for a walk. If it's really good, then prepare for a large-scale change of clothes." (To be continued...)
