Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Enter Shandong

Because of the busy relocation of the headquarters and the "government" of the special zone, the Ninth Army headquarters in Weixian County.A group of guards and subordinates, under the command of officers at all levels, are coming in and out, constantly packing various documents and equipment, and preparing to leave for Jinan City.

Li Guosheng's office is currently the only quiet place in the entire military headquarters.Li Guosheng, the commander of the army, was looking over the telegrams in his hands with a thick smile on his face after returning from victory.

"Shandong Province... Shandong Province has finally arrived..." After reading the last telegram, a burst of hearty smiles came directly from Li Guosheng's mouth.

"Military seat... What is it, so happy..." The office door was pushed open, and Li Guosheng was seen with a smile on his face.Just walking into the office, Chief of Staff Jiang Baili, who was also in a good mood, asked directly. [

"What else can there be... Of course it's the good news coming back from the front line..." Li Guosheng replied with a smile.

Seeing the excited expression on Jiang Baili's face, he asked directly, "Chief of Staff, do you have any good news to tell me..."

"The military seat is the military seat. When I saw the humble official coming in, I knew it was good news... I didn't disappoint the military seat. What the humble official held in my hand was indeed great news, and there were two of them..." Jiang Baili Shaking the two telegrams just received in his hand, he replied with a smile.

"Two pieces of good news... Let's listen to the details..." Li Guosheng's attention was immediately attracted by the two miraculous telegrams that Jiang Baili said, and he followed up and asked.

"The first good news... Our secret transaction with Han Fuqu has been completed. All materials, weapons and ammunition have been delivered to Han Fuqu as required. I just received a telegram from the head of the security regiment, Zhang Huxiao. The regiment, the secret service regiment, has already entered Jinan City one after another at the request of Han Fuqu, and began to take over all the defense areas abandoned by the other party..."

"According to the current speed of changing defenses, within two days, the entire city of Jinan, including the surrounding areas of Jinan, will fall into the hands of our Ninth Army intact. At the same time, Han Fuqu, the only opponent in Shandong Province, will I will also lead my subordinates to station in Xiajin, looking for favorable opportunities to enter Henan and Hebei provinces..." Jiang Baili said with a smile on his face.

"Our long-awaited Shandong Province has finally arrived... You tell Han Fuqu, for the concealment of the operation. I, Li Guosheng, allow him to lurk in Xiajin, Shandong Province for a month... as long as he leaves Shandong Province within one month , I will not hold him accountable. At the same time, I will provide him with 500 million catties of military rations for free... However, there is a prerequisite. When our Ninth Army takes over Xiajin, the county and the border defense line must be intact Leave it to us without damage..." Li Guosheng reminded.

"Yes, Junzuo, I will send a telegram to Han Fuqu immediately after I go down...Faced with 500 million jin of military rations, I believe that Han Fuqu, as the old Jiang on the battlefield, will definitely make the most sensible choice." Jiang Baili affirmed.

After Li Guosheng smiled noncommittally, he continued to speak: "Chief of Staff, the first good news is about Han Fuqu...No accident, the second good news must be sent to us by the Nanjing central "government"... Let me take a guess first: The Nanjing central "government", that is, our old enemy Lao Jiang, has agreed to Han Fuqu's request. Let me take over the post of "chairman" and security commander of Shandong Province, and officially become Shandong Province's Owner."

Seeing the confident Li Guosheng, Jiang Baili admired him from the bottom of his heart.Because, since knowing Li Guosheng.The army commander in front of him, no matter what he does, can count one step ahead of others.And in many cases, it was this small step in advance that kept his army commander, Li Guosheng, in an undefeated position.

After taking a deep look in front of him, Li Guosheng was full of confidence from the beginning to the end.Jiang Baili opened his mouth and said: "The military seat is wise, it is indeed a telegram from the Nanjing central government... However, before the central government agrees to release specific appointment and dismissal documents, it requires us to agree to a condition?"

"What conditions..." Perhaps because he knew Lao Jiang a little bit, Li Guosheng was not too surprised by the temporary extra content.After only frowning, he asked with a blank expression.

"Lao Jiang asked my "government" of Shandong Province to pay 1000 million yuan in taxes to the central government every year... As long as we agree to this condition, the central "government" will immediately issue specific appointment and dismissal documents." Jiang Baili replied.

"This old Chiang never forgets to take a big sum from us at any time... 1000 million oceans, he really dares to speak. However, 1000 million oceans may be a fortune for warlords in other provinces Very huge funds. However, for us, the 1000 million oceans are only the income of a foreign trade company for a week... Give him, anyway, after the 1000 million oceans are turned over to the treasury, they can also increase to a certain extent China's national defense and military strength..." Li Guosheng replied firmly without thinking.

With Li Guosheng's guarantee, the cunning Lao Jiang, very cunningly announced this guarantee to the public in newspapers, so that Li Guosheng had no room for you to go back on your word.

Of course, the guarantee of 1000 million oceans was also exchanged for Li Guosheng's orthodox rule over the entire Shandong Province.

Two days later, Li Guosheng, the former "Chairman" of the Ludong Special Zone, was escorted by a guard battalion, and walked into Jinan City, Shandong Province, the first provincial capital he had seen since his rebirth.The appointment document of the Nanjing central "government" appeared in Jiang Baili's hands very timely.

After a quick glance at the telegram in his hand.A hint of surprise quickly appeared on Jiang Baili's face.Quickly catching up with the army commander Li Guosheng, he said directly: "Army seat... No, I will call you commander in the future... From now on, our Ninth Army has become the city of Jinan and the real center of Shandong Province. Master..."

"Nanjing Central Government called back..." Li Guosheng asked. [

"Not only did I reply to the telegram, but I also sent out the appointment and dismissal documents... You see, this is the appointment and dismissal document of the "Chairman" of Shandong Province, and this is the appointment and dismissal document of the Shandong Provincial Security Commander. Starting today, you will be in charge All the military and political powers in the entire Shandong Province..." Jiang Baili replied excitedly.

"Okay... From today onwards, I, Li Guosheng, will lead everyone and formally enter Shandong Province..." Li Guosheng, who has truly become a feudal official in charge of a province's military and political power, has only led a few hundred people at most in his previous life. The officer, directly from the heart, let out a sigh of emotion.

However, after the emotion, there was an invisible pressure.Quickly came to mind.

As time goes by, the imminent full-scale war between China and Japan is getting closer and closer to now.At the same time, with the rapid development of the domestic Red Party army, various domestic changes will follow one after another.Facing the worsening and chaotic situation in the country, the time left for Li Guosheng to prepare for the war against Japan directly became less and less.

Especially thinking of the three eastern provinces that are close to me and will soon be occupied by the Japanese Kwantung Army.A trace of inexplicable tension and anticipation.It quickly appeared in Li Guosheng's mind.

And with the continuous expansion of its own power, especially the navy and air force established without telling everyone.It is developing at a very high speed and rapidly developing towards its own predetermined goal.An astonishing idea that I didn't even dare to think about before, slowly appeared in my mind... .

In the upcoming "September [-]" incident in the three northeastern provinces, use your own military strength to get a share of it.While mitigating national losses, the ups and downs also reduced the Kwantung Army's income in the three eastern provinces.

But in order to achieve this goal, I must use the entire Shandong Province as the stage during the period before the official outbreak of 'September [-]'.Gather the power of the whole province.Rapidly develop your own strength, especially the military strength that can be used on the battlefield.

The goal is determined, and the next step is to plot development.Quickly glanced around, because the appointments of the Nanjing Central Government, without exception, are all subordinates with happy faces.Li Guosheng quickly calmed down his equally excited heart, and turned to Chief of Staff Jiang Baili beside him.Shen Sheng ordered.

"Chief of Staff, now that we have legitimately taken over Jinan City and become the real master of Shandong Province, then our next step is to take a serious inventory of our family property. At the same time, we will work out a feasible development path according to the family property... .”

"So, the first thing we need to do next is to find out the family background... Order the troops stationed in various places, and officials who have taken over the local "government" will quickly take over the situation in the area and form a document to report Come up... I will give you a week, and a week later, a provincial military and political conference will be held in Jinan City to familiarize yourself with the family background and formulate the development path of our Shandong Province in the next few years..." Li Guosheng ordered with a serious face .

"Yes, the military seat..."

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and the city of Jinan, Nuoda, gradually relaxed from the initial state of military control.A large number of troops maintaining law and order in the city began to return power to the police department in the city.Of course, this police department, which is related to the safety of the capital city of Shandong Province, was completely replaced after Li Guosheng officially moved into Jinan City.

Thousands of new police forces with short training, high wages, and no evil have just taken up their posts.The original chaotic situation in Jinan City was directly improved.In the past, a large number of empty prisons have become overcrowded at this moment because of the continuous entry of a large number of criminals.

In the end, Li Guosheng, who really had no other choice, directly came up with a solution once and for all.Send these criminals out of Jinan City in the form of labor reform, and participate in the infrastructure construction of roads and railways in Shandong Province.

After a week of stabilization, the situation in Shandong Province finally reached unprecedented calm.

The former Han Fuqu Command in Jinan has now become the Shandong Provincial Security Command and the Ninth Army headquarters.Under the command of Li Guosheng, the commanders of several main divisions, the military headquarters are directly under the brigade commander, and directly under the regimental commander.... .All senior officials, including the entire Shandong Provincial "Government", gathered in the auditorium of the headquarters that can accommodate hundreds of people.

Li Guosheng, who has been promoted to the "chairman" of Shandong Province and concurrently serves as the commander of security.With the chief of staff Jiang Baili and others, amidst the applause of hundreds of subordinates, they walked onto the "chairman" podium and sat in their own seats.Condescending, looking at the confidant and beloved general below.

After waving his hand, the applause completely stopped.Li Guosheng nodded directly to Jiang Baili who was beside him, and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Now for the first item of the meeting, first of all, please ask the chief of staff to read to everyone the latest appointment and dismissal document from the Nanjing central "government"... . . ”

Jiang Baili, who was dressed in military uniform, stood up directly from his seat.After paying a military salute to everyone in the venue.opened the mouth.

"It is hereby appointed: Li Guosheng, the commander of the Ninth Army, officially assumes the post of the "Chairman" of the National Government of Shandong Province, and at the same time, concurrently serves as the Commander of Security of Shandong Province... All appointments and removals will take effect immediately... The Government of the Republic of China ’ ‘Chairman’: Chiang Kai-shek…”

"Papapa..." Jiang Baili's voice fell, and a burst of warm applause quickly flooded the conference room.Li Guosheng, the army commander, stood up straight away, and said proudly to everyone. [

"Brothers, everyone is an old man who followed me, Li Guosheng. Now, we have finally completed our cultivation, successfully won Shandong Province, and become the real master of Shandong Province..."

"Next, I would like to invite the deputy army commander to introduce to you all the achievements of our Ninth Army and the current wealth of our Ninth Army over the past half a month..."

Under the signal of Li Guosheng, Li Guanghua, the deputy commander of the army, won a good harvest in the battle against Han Fuqu this time.He stood up with a smile on his face.He opened the mouth and said, "Commander, chief of staff. Brothers... Next, I will let you know all the achievements of the entire army during this military operation."

"First of all, the commander also said just now: Through this military operation, we have completely occupied Shandong Province and become the real masters of Shandong Province..."

"The second article is the seizure of materials: weapons and ammunition. I will not say more, because no matter how much we seize, we will not need it. Of course, in addition to the seizure of military materials, there is still one Very important: the countless oceans seized by the troops in the occupied areas. According to statistics, we are in Linyi. Zaozhuang, Antai... The total number of oceans seized in the city directly exceeds 500 million..."

"Article [-], the large number of prisoners of war captured on the battlefield: according to statistics. In several major battles, our army captured a total of more than [-] people from the Han Fuqu Department..."

"Article 2, during the battle, the recruiting office recruited a total of [-] new recruits from the hungry people who came to Shandong..."

After Li Guanghua's briefing, Mo Bin, the former vice-chairman of the Shandong Special Economic Zone and the current vice-chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, stood up and said, "Chairman, colleagues, next, I will Let me tell you about the "government" situation."

"For half a month, although affected by the war, the number of disaster victims from several provinces who flocked to our Shandong Province still reached an astonishing 600 million... Of course, as time goes on, the distance from Shandong Province is getting closer and closer. The farther away the disaster victims began to pour into our Shandong Province. Therefore, this number is still rising at a linear speed... "

"Preliminary estimates show that the number of disaster victims who will eventually enter Shandong Province will exceed 500 million..."

"The 500 million disaster victims, plus the 600 million aborigines in Shandong Province, that is a total of 6000 million people. Colleagues, do you know what this means... I, the "government" of Shandong Province, The Ninth Army of the National Revolutionary Army of our country. Taking this drought as an opportunity, it not only gained the hearts of the people across the country, but also controlled almost one-sixth of the country's population..."

"In addition, among the 6000 million people, there are more than 1000 million young and middle-aged people alone. Calculated according to the highest mobilization ratio of soldiers with war morale, as long as these 6000 million people are firmly in our hands, our Ninth Army can The total number of troops mobilized in Shandong Province exceeds 500 million."

The mobilization force of the 500 million army came from Mo Bin's mouth. Not only Li Guosheng, but everyone who came to the meeting was shocked by this shocking number.However, after the shock, there was a burst of surprise...

The 500 million army directly means that as long as you can arm and train these troops well.On the anti-Japanese battlefield in the future, I can completely rely on my own position to ensure the worry-free life of the entire North China, and even the three northeastern provinces... .

Of course, such a large mobilization force also directly means that Shandong Province, from now on, has a steady stream of human resources in addition to the necessary population for agriculture.Sufficient human resources, coupled with a steady stream of overseas funding and technology sources.Li Guosheng is very confident that in a short period of time, the entire Shandong Province, whether it is the economic level or the industrial level, will undergo earth-shaking changes.

After the briefing was over, Li Guosheng waved his hand again.In the conference room, the shocked people all focused their attention on themselves.Li Guosheng finally said: "Brothers, after listening to the report of the deputy army commander and Chairman Mo, I feel like everyone else, very happy and excited..."

"With such a strong family background, we have nothing to worry about, so much to be afraid of... Of course, even so, as the real masters of Shandong Province, we can't just sit back and enjoy the benefits. Instead, we should think far and wide, based on this strong family background , to formulate a set of specific development paths that are completely suitable for the local "government" of Shandong Province and our Ninth Army. In a short period of time, we will continue to improve our overall strength and enhance the voice of the "government" of Shandong Province in the entire country …”

"Next, I will personally announce an appointment: appoint Mo Bin as the first vice-chairman of Shandong Province, and the chief officer will win all the civil affairs construction... Li Guanghua is appointed as the deputy commander of the Shandong Provincial Security Command The second vice-chairman of the government. Focusing on Quansheng industrial development, military construction, and the logistics equipment department of the whole army... Appointed Jiang Baili as the chief of staff of the Shandong Provincial Security Command, concurrently as the chief of staff of the Ninth Army, the chief officer of the whole army training and Combat matters..."

"Appoint Lan Ruoxin as the director of the Health Department of Shandong Province, and concurrently serve as the director of the Ninth Army Field Hospital...Appoint Fu Guangyun as the first factory director of the Military Industry Group...Rename the former Ludong First Security Division to Shandong Province First Security Guard Appoint Zhu Shengda as the head of the first security division in Shandong Province... Appoint Luo Zhang as the head of the second security division... and appoint Luo Qiyuan as the head of the third security division..."

"At the same time, after research, it was decided that on the basis of the original local garrison regiment, a group of officers would be transferred from the entire army and the teaching team to form a total of 20 local garrison regiments from No. 25 to No. [-] under the Shandong Provincial Security Command... . . ”
