Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Unify Shandong Province

Facing the question from Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, Li Guosheng directly gave a mysterious answer: "What Han Fuqu wants most now, I will give him. He fought us to the death, and finally the whole army was wiped out in Jinan City. Let's keep the present The status and the army, continue to be the emperor of one side. I believe that Han Fuqu, as a veteran in the battlefield, will definitely make the most sensible choice...>

"What does Han Fuqu lack...>

Li Guosheng smiled and said: "Chief of Staff, your vision is still too limited...>

"In terms of the army, although it is impossible for us to return to Han Fuqu the prisoners we have worked so hard to capture on the battlefield. However, the large number of weapons captured on the battlefield that we don't even care about can be returned to Han Fuqu to help him go westward to Hebei and Henan. Save. Of course, if this is not enough to feed him, we can also properly supplement him with some "ammunition", even the heavy equipment of a field artillery regiment, it is all possible... >

Having said that, Li Guosheng's face turned pale.A strange smile flashed directly.Continue to speak.

"Of course, send Han Fuqu out of Shandong. There is another reason to help him grab a piece of land in Henan or Hebei: think about it, instead of letting someone you don't know as your neighbor, it's better to find someone you know well and have a good understanding of. An opponent full of fear will be my neighbor. In this way, I can confidently say that in a short period of time, the border between the two provinces and Shandong. Because Han Fuqu is concerned about our military strength, there will be no military friction... >

Li Guosheng's proposal directly overturned Chief of Staff Jiang Baili's inner thoughts.After a short period of contemplation, a pair of eyes directly radiated a bright light, and he asked confidently.

"A pile of scrap iron, the ammunition output of the arsenal in a few days. Not only is it exchanged for almost one-fifth of the territory and provincial capital of Shandong Province, but more importantly, it is exchanged for a peaceful border... >

"Chief of Staff, this matter. After counting and counting, it is really only you who are most suitable... >

Over the past few days, with the continuous mobilization of a large number of troops, Jinan City has also been shrouded in a tense atmosphere before the battle.Forty-five thousand troops, following the order of Han Fuqu, the whole army is in a state of preparation for war.

However, what Han Fuqu did not expect was that his nervousness and preparations did not wait for the Ninth Army's offensive troops, but instead waited for the Ninth Army's negotiating team headed by Chief of Staff Jiang Baili.

"Jiang Baili, why is he here...>

"Commander, I don't know about the humble position...>

"What...>

"Help the Commander through the current predicament...>

"Help us through this difficult time...>

"Wait, let me think about it... >

The comparison of the strength of the enemy and us around Jinan City...>

"Negotiations...>

"Commander...>

And Commander Han Fuqu unexpectedly showed a meaningful smile on his face.He said: "I don't know what kind of benefits Li Guosheng of the Ninth Army intends to give us. He can persuade us to voluntarily give up Jinan City, and even withdraw from Shandong Province. However, I can be sure that this negotiation is absolutely There is no doubt about it. Our opponent, the Ninth Army, does not want to continue wasting energy and troops in this battle...>

After finishing speaking, Han Fuqu's face was covered with a smile, and he spoke.

"This Jiang Baili, speaking of it, has met me once, and he is a veteran with certain qualifications in the country. Since he is here, I, the host, have to entertain... >

"Yes, Commander...>

Small conference room.Jiang Baili, chief of staff of the Ninth Army, and Han Fuqu, the "chairman" of Shandong Province.The two sat opposite each other, looking at each other, motionless... >

A few minutes later, a hearty smile came out of Han Fuqu's mouth: "Brother Baili, brother Baili...>

"Chairman Han, it's refreshing enough...>

"Chairman Han, since this is the case. Then I will tell the truth... >

"Hahaha...>

Jiang Baili smiled.The small meeting room, after returning to calm again.He said, "Chairman Han, I won't tell you about the current situation of our two armies, but you should be clear: if you continue to fight, the victory must belong to my Ninth Army. However, even if my Ninth Army wins, we will pay for it." A very heavy price. Of course, compared to my Ninth Army, your loss is even greater...>

Seeing the frustrated veteran Han Fuqu who wanted to fight back, but without any reason, he could only express his inner dissatisfaction with silence.Jiang Baili's mood can be directly described as joyful.Without hesitation, he continued to speak.

"For such a result, I believe that Chairman Han should not want to see... >

"Because of this, our army commander made the decision to let me come to negotiate. I hope that through negotiations, the current embarrassing situation between the two armies can be resolved, the fighting will end as soon as possible, and a peaceful development environment for the people of Shandong will be restored...>

After finishing speaking, Jiang Baili's face directly showed a strong and confident expression.Quietly looking at the complicated Han Fuqu in his heart, without saying a word... >

In Han Fuqu's heart, just as Jiang Baili guessed, he was caught in a difficult decision.As a veteran on the battlefield, Han Fuqu is very aware of his current situation.Jiang Baili said that although Han Fuqu didn't want to admit it, he had to face this reality.After a few minutes of silence, he had to lower his head.

However, even so, Han Fuqu did not forget the bargain he should have as a warlord.A pair of speed flashed a sly look, stared at Jiang Baili, and asked slyly.

"Brother Baili, don't scare me with this aggressive method. I, Han Fuqu, have experienced life and death. I can't scare me with such things. At worst, I, Han Fuqu, will start all over again. Of course, I, Han Fuqu, don't know People who are flexible, if the Ninth Army can give me the same benefits, for the safety of the entire Jinan city, and for the unnecessary casualties of the people of Jinan. I, Han Fuqu, can represent more than 4 soldiers and voluntarily abandon Jinan City and leave Shandong Province... >

"Chairman Han really deserves to be Chairman Han, the sword is not old...>

Then, without any hesitation, he directly offered the first condition he could offer.

"Chairman Han, the first condition of our military seat is to return all the equipment captured by your army during several battles. At the same time, we will donate 500 million rounds of rifle bullets to support your army's entry into Henan and occupy an area in Henan Province. Own territory...>

"Empty glove white wolf...>

"Brother Baili...>

Jiang Baili smiled awkwardly.He said, "Chairman Han, don't worry...>

"What about the second condition?" Han Fuqu waved his hand, stopping Jiang Baili who wanted to continue talking.He asked bluntly.

"We know that because of the perennial drought, the entire Henan Province is full of disaster victims. In order to allow Chairman Han to stabilize the local situation faster and win the hearts of the people after he enters Henan Province. Our military seat has decided to provide it to Chairman Han for free. [-] million catties of wheat. It is used to stabilize the bad situation in Henan," Jiang Baili said. [

"Two hundred million catties of wheat...>

The 8 army is in hand, plus enough equipment for [-] to [-] troops and sufficient ammunition.Han Fuqu is very confident, as long as he enters Henan where famine is everywhere.Just relying on the ability to feed the troops, it can be done in a short period of time.Re-expand the force to [-] men...>

With an army of [-] in hand, the entire Henan Province is still within reach...>

The army is in hand, plus the [-] million catties of grain provided by Li Guosheng for free.The entire situation in Henan, in the face of its own military threats and disaster relief, is under dual control.It will definitely change in a very short time.With the hearts and minds he bought with food, Han Fuqu can definitely say with confidence that he will become a veritable "King of Henan" in a short time...>

The veritable "King of Henan" occupies only two-thirds of the land in Shandong Province, and it is also near the sea.Compared with the 'Shandong King' who may be threatened and attacked by Japan at any time. The advantages of "King of Henan" can be seen at a glance.

Facing the huge temptation of the position of "King of Henan".Han Fuqu almost couldn't hold back his excitement, and agreed directly.

However, when he thought of the poor performance of his troops in front of the Ninth Army, especially the excellent equipment and heavy artillery units exposed by the Ninth Army on the battlefield, Han Fuqu's eyes became hot for a while.After suppressing the excitement in his heart, he pretended to be dissatisfied and asked back.

"Brother Baili, just [-] million catties of grain can make up for Han Fuqu's losses on the battlefield and the territory that Han Fuqu voluntarily gave up in Shandong Province...>

"I don't know what conditions "Chairman Han" has...>

"In addition to returning the equipment captured by our army, your army must also support some heavy weapons of our army... >

"Sure enough, the lion opened its mouth...>

To be clear, these heavy equipment, for the Ninth Army, can equip a division in the sky.However, for other units of the national army that are severely underequipped with heavy weapons, it is possible to form three to five divisions.With so much heavy equipment at one time, plus the large amount of equipment sent back by the Ninth Army, one can imagine how ambitious Han Fuqu is.

Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, of course, didn't want to see his future neighbor slowly turn into a hungry wolf that could attack him at any time because of his support.So, without even thinking about it, he directly gave a negative answer.

"Chairman Han, you are asking too much...>

Han Fuqu didn't have much hope for the conditions he proposed.After all, there are too many heavy weapons in the list I made.Don't say that Li Guosheng is a local warlord, even Lao Jiang who is far away in Nanjing, it is impossible to get it out immediately.

Therefore, for Jiang Baili's refusal, Han Fuqu did not show much surprise.Nodding his head, he opened his mouth and said.

"Brother Baili, please... >

"On behalf of the Ninth Army, I can provide Chairman Han with 24 German-style mountain guns and 12 German-style field guns, each equipped with 100 rounds of ammunition, to form a mountain artillery regiment directly under your army...>

Form a powerful mountain artillery regiment... >

Han Fuqu, who came from a military background, is very aware of the role an artillery regiment can play on the battlefield.With jealousy, he asked directly without thinking about it.

"What conditions...>

"In addition to leading the team to leave Shandong Province, it is also necessary to take the initiative to send out a power call, and to go to the "chairman" of Shandong Province and the post of Shandong Provincial Security Commander. At the same time, recommend the commander of the Ninth Army to the Nanjing Central "Government" for the position of Shandong Province "Chairman" and the post of Security Commander...>

"Of course, in addition to this, our military seat also asked me to bring you a sentence... Once "Chairman" Han has gained a firm foothold in Henan Province and has already served as the military seat of the "Chairman" of Shandong Province, he will definitely report to you in time. The central "government" proposes to appoint "Chairman Han" and you to be the "Chairman" and security commander of Henan Province...>

"Okay, I promise you...>

"Chairman Han, the gentleman speaks quickly, I trust you...>
