The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 70: Central Plains General Assembly, Song Jiaoren is not dead?

.

A few spn reporters ran to the last construction site at the risk of being bombarded by artillery fire, only to find that the workers on that construction site were still shouting to speed up the construction.

"Brother, it's all started, why are you still working?" The reporter asked a construction worker at the scene.

"Is it fighting?" The construction worker looked confused, and then suddenly realized: "It is fighting, and the bosses on both sides probably won't stop fighting for half a month. But road construction is important, this is a non-war zone, anyway It's not too dangerous."

Nima!Isn't it dangerous?

A few reporters spoke immediately, but it was strange to find that the workers on the construction site looked very calm, even curious, and kept looking up at the cannons flying in the sky. [

"Don't look at it, don't look at it, what's so interesting about shooting cannons, everyone, hurry up, we are already behind the progress of the No. 2 construction site, as long as we finish ahead of schedule, there will be bonuses." The construction worker immediately waved to the workers on the construction site. , the workers suppressed their curiosity and hurriedly worked hard.

……

Amidst the rumbling guns, the Central Plains Parade officially kicked off.

This parade is a competition between the two major military blocs, and it is also the two major military blocs fighting for bargaining chips for the follow-up negotiations. The final content of the negotiations is the issue of local taxation.

To establish a unified and complete country, local taxes must be collected from the central government.

Jiang Yu has also planned to hand over part of the local taxation rights, but how much of this money should be used to support the National Defense Forces every year?How much will be used to build infrastructure is subject to negotiation.

Whether the negotiations can go smoothly depends on the results of the Central Plains Conference.

The establishment of the Northwest National Defense Army was not long, not even as long as the Beiyang Army. Although many of the Northwest National Defense Army participated in the war against Russia, it was established for less than a year.

However, the Northwest National Defense Army has shown a combat effectiveness that does not match it, because the soldiers of the Northwest National Defense Army are all selected from the militia.

Jiang Yu trained a large number of militiamen in East China and had an extremely good source of troops.

At the same time, the establishment of the crash course of the Huai'an Military Academy also trained a large number of grassroots officers for the Northwest National Defense Force.

Moreover, the usual training of the National Defense Forces can definitely be said to be the most rigorous and assiduous.

Boom boom boom...

The bombardment lasted for 10 minutes, and the designated area was bombed into a mess.

The referee team jointly formed by the two armies quickly gave the results.

"The artillery of the National Defense Army has a 68% chance of hitting the target, and the Beiyang Army has a 36% chance of hitting the target. The artillery preparation speed and rate of fire of the National Defense Army are better than those of the Beiyang Army. The National Defense Army won the first round."

Yuan Shikai and Jiang Yu sat on the school field outside the headquarters. Hearing this result, Yuan Shikai couldn't help but feel depressed. The gap is too big, right?

Subsequently, the two armies launched competitions in various projects, from civil engineering operations to offensive and defensive drills, and then to coordinated operations between arms.

In these items, the Northwest National Defense Force has shown very good military quality, especially the Third Division of the East China National Defense Force. This force is not comparable to the newly formed Northwest National Defense Force. The results in various projects can be described as a mess. [

However, the Northwest National Defense Force may not be inferior to the East China National Defense Force, which has more veterans in the future. The growth of this army is only a matter of time, and the gap between the Northwest National Defense Force and the East China National Defense Force will gradually narrow over time.

However, the most elite East China First Division and Second Division did not participate in the Central Plains Parade, but fought against the Kuomintang rebels in the south.

In contrast, although the soldiers of the Beiyang Army are not bad in terms of individual quality, they are not as good as the hard-trained National Defense Forces.

In terms of grassroots officers, there is an even more obvious gap.

On April 4, major newspapers reported the shelling scenes filmed on the front line in Henan. The whole country was shocked for a while, and everyone thought that the National Defense Army and the Beiyang Army had already fought in Henan.

For a while, patriots ran around calling for a truce between the two major military blocs.

However, on April 4, the headline on the front page of the "East China Daily" reported a piece of news titled "General Dingguo met with President Zhongyuan, and the two armies held the Central Plains Parade in Henan".

"On April 4, Yuan Shikai, the interim president, arrived in Henan. On April 19, the Dingguo general Jiang Yu arrived in Henan. The two met on the same day and reached consensus in many fields. The two agreed that the boundary of China's unification cannot be crossed. The stability of China cannot be destroyed, and any reactionary forces that attempt to plunge China into division and chaos will be attacked by the National Defense Forces and the Beiyang Army. At the same time, General Ding Guo recognized the unshakable position of the Beijing Central Government, and the President also recognized the existence of the National Defense Forces. A degree of independence. And to reach a consensus on comprehensive cooperation, as long as the two militaries are united and united, China's military will be revitalized."

"At 4 o'clock in the morning on April 21, the Beiyang Army assembled 6 troops, and the National Defense Army assembled 30 troops to officially hold the Central Plains Parade from Shangqiu to Kaifeng, Henan. The artillery units of the two armies first covered the predetermined design targets with artillery fire. The obvious advantage won, and on the same day, the two armies also tested the army's civil engineering operation technology...It is expected that the two armies will also hold an army, air force, infantry, and artillery coordinated combat drill on the 18th..."

At the same time, "East China Daily" also published several group photos of Jiang Yu and Yuan Shikai, and there was also a group photo of high-level personnel of the two armies, as well as some photos of the positions of the two armies, but they were all photos of no military intelligence value.

In the photo, Jiang Yu and Yuan Shikai shook hands with smiles on their faces, looking as harmonious as they could be.

At the same time, there are photos of Jiang Yu and Yuan Shikai smiling happily while talking in a low voice. Although they can't see what they are laughing at, they can make people feel their calmness and calmness, as if they are not letting go of the civil war launched by the Kuomintang. on heart.

The report of "East China Daily" shocked the whole country. People looked at the report of "East China Daily" and their eyeballs dropped.

While this made those patriots breathe a sigh of relief, it was also a collective language.

Other newspapers knew the news, and immediately published an apology announcement in the next day's newspaper, claiming that they did not confirm the news in detail and came to an arbitrary conclusion. If it misleads the readers, please forgive me.

On the same day, Jiang Yu and Yuan Shikai issued a joint telegram in Henan.

"Since the founding of the Republic of China in [-], all provinces and provinces across the country have been waiting for prosperity. Regardless of national interests and national stability, the top leaders of the Kuomintang brazenly launched a civil war. It is called a revolution, but it is actually seeking personal gain and disrupting national order. Their actions are already sinners of the nation. Today, the Beiyang Army The national defense forces will work together to wipe out the rebellious army, so as to maintain the stability of the country and the prosperity of all industries."

At the same time as this joint telegram was sent out, the Jiangsu Police Department Minister also held a press conference at the Huai'an Military Rehabilitation Hospital to announce the investigation results of the Song case.

Major newspapers quickly dispatched reporters to participate.

At the press conference, Jiangsu police chief first announced the investigation results of the Song case.

"According to the investigation, the assassin Wu Shiying was instigated by the gang member Ying Guixin to assassinate Song Jiaoren. Ying Guixin has been captured, and an assassin who tried to kill Ying Guixin was captured on the spot. According to the interrogation, Ying Guixin Xin Nai was instigated by Chen Qimei, a member of the Kuomintang, to assassinate Song Jiaoren. After Wu Shiying was arrested, Chen Qimei first ordered Ying Guixin to go to Huai'an to invite General Dingguo to reward him, and at the same time sent assassins to kill Ying Guixin. Both of them confessed to the confession ordered by Chen Qimei."

Without waiting for the reporters to ask questions, he continued: "In addition, there is another important news to be announced. Mr. Song Jiaoren has largely recovered after being rescued by a military doctor of the National Defense Army. Next, I invite Mr. Song Jiaoren." [

Song Jiaoren is not dead?

All the reporters were stunned on the spot.

"Didn't you say you were dead?"

"That's right! How could he not be dead?"

Just when the reporters were discussing, Song Jiaoren came out from the backstage, and the audience was shocked.
