Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

"Forcing" Gong Lao Jiang

"Crack...>

With the outbreak of the Central Plains War, Lao Jiang slapped the table more and more.Of course, most of these pats on the table were caused by anger and anger.

Could it be that something on the front line made Lao Jiang angry again, the adjutant thought to himself.Then, feeling uneasy, he pushed open the door of Lao Jiang's office, and tiptoed in.

Walking into the office, the adjutant, who was in a nervous mood, was ready to face the violent storm caused by Lao Jiang's anger.An unexpected scene appeared in front of the adjutant. [

In the past few days, because the central army on the front line has been afraid to move forward, and has not achieved the slightest combat exploits, Lao Jiang's expression has been dignified for several days.On a face, there was rarely a smile from the heart.Looking at the telegram in his hand, over and over again, and from time to time let out a sigh of incomprehensible emotion, or frowned.

Seeing the puzzled adjutant standing in front of him, Lao Jiang's smiling expression quickly disappeared.Facing the adjutant in front of him, he ordered with a majestic expression: "Adjutant, immediately notify Minister He of the Military and Political Department, Director Dai of the Intelligence Department to come to my office, hurry... >

"Yes, 'Chairman'...>

In less than 5 minutes, Lao Jiang, who was still immersed in the complex expression of excitement and puzzlement, waited for He Yingqin and Dai Li, his confidants and lovers.

Yang raised the telegram in his hand.Lao Jiang said bluntly: "Respect, Yunong, take a look first, this is Li Guosheng, the Ninth Army, who just sent a telegram to the central government to invite credit...>

He Yingqin, who had just taken office as the minister of the military government, saw this telegram for the first time, and the first expression he showed was that he couldn't believe it.Then, with a skeptical tone, he asked: "'Chairman'. Is the content of this telegram true? The Ninth Army really has only five main divisions with a total strength of less than 6 troops. Annihilate the entire [-] troops of the Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army. You know, the entire battle lasted only three or four days, that is, [-] pigs. It would take a lot of time to catch them all, not to mention using Soldiers who rebel with arms...>

Lao Jiang nodded noncommittally.Then, he turned his attention to Dai Li.He opened the mouth and said: "Whether the content is true or not, I don't care. If you want to know the specific situation, you can only know after asking Yu Nong... >

"Yunong, after such a long period of continuous investment and development, the intelligence department should have extended its tentacles to the Ninth Army... >

"Reporting to "Chairman", I have indeed received a lot of information about the battle between the Ninth Army and the Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army. However, because the information obtained is too much, it is too "messy", and the intelligence department is not There is no special person to organize and classify, and the humble position is only based on the strength of one person, and it has not been fully clarified. It has not been reported yet, please punish the "chairman"...>

Seeing Lao Jiang nodded.I plan to take it all away, and I don't plan to pursue my own problems later.A trace of joy flashed across Dai Li's face immediately.Facing Lao Jiang and He Yingqin, he said with certainty: "'Chairman', Minister He, I have already obtained the information through my humble position. I can say with certainty that at least [-]% of the contents of this telegram are true...>

"According to the information, the Ninth Army's two armies had entered the two important military towns of Hengshui and Shangqiu respectively a day ago. Before that, ten soldiers from the Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army were stationed in these two important military towns. Wan Dajun. In addition, we have not received any news of the Jinsui Army and the Northwest Army retreating voluntarily along the way... That can only explain one problem. The [-] troops of the Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army stationed in the two places have been completely wiped out. ...>

After all, Lao Jiang is a leader of a country who has experienced great storms. In addition, in the past year, Li Guosheng has used actions time and time again to break many inherent thoughts in his heart.For Dai Li's answer, after only showing a little surprise, his face suddenly changed, and he returned to normal again, and gradually calmed down.

He Yingqin, Minister of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, had the experience of losing to Li Guosheng and being captured by Li Guosheng.However, because I am reorganizing all the troops in the country.Let him know very clearly the specific situation of the warlord forces in various places.

Yan Xishan's Jinsui army is well-equipped, and in many respects, it has even surpassed several central armies directly under the Nanjing "government".Although Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army is inferior in terms of equipment.However, due to successive years of wars, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command were all veterans without exception.

As for the Ninth Army under the command of Li Guosheng, because within a year, the troops were directly expanded from the original regiment to an army group, and the expansion speed of the troops was too fast.

Before receiving the exact information about the military strength of the Ninth Army, He Yingqin, as the Minister of Military and Political Affairs, directly believed that the Ninth Army: Except for a very small number of troops, it was considered a strong force, and the rest of the troops were just a group of recruits who had just been expanded. May have too strong combat power...

Therefore, no matter how you look at it: Compared with Li Guosheng's Ninth Army, Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army and Feng Yuxiang's Northwest Army are rare powerful forces among the major warlords in China.

Under such circumstances, the Central Army with equal strength cannot be the opponent of the two warlord armies.What's more, it doesn't have any strength advantage, and in my own eyes, the Ninth Army is not very powerful.

But now, such a thing happened. The Ninth Army, which I didn't think much of, not only won the victory, but also won it in such a short time. [

Of course, shock is nothing but shock. He Yingqin, as the military and political minister of a country, did not lose his composure because of this.a pair of eyes.After a quick glance at the map hanging on the wall not far away.While being shocked by the strong fighting power of the Ninth Army, a thought that surprised him immediately came to He Yingqin's mind.

Facing Lao Jiang who was still calm, he reported with a little excitement: "'Chairman', I think that now is an excellent opportunity for our Central Army to take down the Jinsui Army and the Northwest Army...>

"As long as we order the Ninth Army, which won the first battle, to quickly approach Shijiazhuang and Taiyuan with a victorious front. I can be sure that whether it is the Northwest Army that is confronting us or Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army They will all have to retreat because their rear is threatened. At that time, our Central Army will be able to take advantage of the victory to pursue and continue to compress the living space of the two armies. In the end, with the cooperation of the Ninth Army and the Northeast Army, we will take down these two major local forces , to further complete the unification of the country...>

He Yingqin, who was full of anticipation, stared at him, waiting for Lao Jiang's affirmation.A wry smile unexpectedly appeared on Lao Jiang's face.Under He Yingqin's puzzled gaze, he said, "Jingzhi. Your idea is very good. However, if you want to realize this idea, you must have a premise to guarantee it: Li Guosheng's Ninth Army is willing to unify the country and obey the Central Committee" Government' order, without any double-heartedness...>

"This...>

"I don't know if there is any other way out. However, judging from the content of Li Guosheng's victory telegram, Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, already has the idea of ​​not wanting to continue fighting and acting as a spectator...>

"How is it possible...>

"Report 'Chairman'. Minister He, there seems to be some information about this here...>

"According to the latest information, the two troops that the Ninth Army used to threaten Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang have returned to Hengshui and Shangqiu, two important military towns, at [-] o'clock this morning for unknown reasons. At the same time, the confrontation with the Ninth Army The Northwest Army and the Jinsui Army also retreated one after another. The three forces, as if they had never experienced any war, planned to use Shangqiu and Hengshui as the dividing line, divide and occupy them, and live in peace..." Dai Li, the director of intelligence, replied in time .

"After taking advantage, stand still, save your strength, act as a spectator, and finally, reap the benefits of the fisherman...>

"'Chairman', now I realize that compared with Feng Yuxiang and Yan Xishan, the commander-in-chief of the Ninth Army, Li Guosheng, is also an unscrupulous warlord...>

"Yes so what, no so what...>

I don't know whether it is for my own political career or for the real sake of national unity.A long sigh came directly from Lao Jiang's mouth.Then, facing Minister of Military and Political Affairs He Yingqin, he continued to ask tit for tat.

"Not only that, once we push the Ninth Army to our opposing side. It is conceivable that when we have no troops to send, once the area under the jurisdiction of the central government is attacked by the Ninth Army from Shandong Province. Regardless Is it Anhui, which is adjacent to Shandong Province, or Zhejiang...>

Under his own questioning, his old partner He Yingqin became silent.

Later, facing the two favorite generals, Lao Jiang continued to speak: "Okay, let's not consider this issue for the time being. I asked you to come over because I want you to study it with me: at this moment, what is Li Guosheng giving us? What is the ultimate purpose of sending this victory telegram?"

One word awakened the dreamer, until now, He Yingqin had a vague sense of the scheming behind Li Guosheng's sending this telegram asking for credit... >

Recall Li Guosheng's development path all the time, without exception.There is a very obvious idea hidden in all of them: "Make a fortune in silence...>

But now, Li Guosheng unexpectedly walked to the front desk and reported the results of the battle to the central government immediately.This is absolutely unprecedented in the history of Li Guosheng's rise and development.

With such an unexpected act, coupled with Li Guosheng's current voluntary withdrawal of troops, it seems that he does not intend to continue to participate in the war.A bold idea quickly came to He Yingqin's mind: "Li Guosheng used this to show his mighty strength to the Nanjing Central Government, and to "force" the Central Government with his future support. Finally, from the Nanjing Central "Government" In the hands of the government. In exchange for the greatest benefit for myself...>

In Li Guosheng's eyes, after three days of fighting, less than 5000 people were directly killed in exchange for 7 veteran prisoners of war.I can completely follow the previous development path and make a fortune silently.Using the [-] prisoners of war in his hands, he quickly expanded his troops and turned the Ninth Army into a real army.

then.Taking advantage of the prestige brought to him by this victory, he kept secret.Secretly dispatched troops, marched into Liaodong, and took control of the entire Niaodong Peninsula. [

Of course, before the battle started, Li Guosheng and Chief of Staff Jiang Baili secretly planned the Ninth Army's military development path.

However, what Chief of Staff Jiang Baili did not expect was that the whole battle would progress so quickly.And as a veteran with certain political struggle experience.Also in the first time, from the results of this battle, I accidentally discovered a great benefit to the Ninth Army.

Through this unprecedented victory, a military and even political "force" was imposed on the Nanjing Central Government.From it, obtain political achievements that are of great benefit to the future development of the Ninth Army...>

Through this battle and victory, it is enough to shock the major military forces in the country.For the first time, it thoroughly demonstrated the true combat effectiveness of the Ninth Army to all forces in the country, including the Nanjing central "government".

On the deadlocked battlefield, a neutral force that can completely change the entire battlefield situation appears on the battlefield.For victory.This neutral force will definitely become the target of the two hostile forces.

As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of [-], just in case", even if you already know that this neutral force will not participate in the war.The two hostile forces will also offer conditions as much as possible to win over this army to avoid accidents.

Reporting the results of the Ninth Army's battle to the Nanjing central "government" as soon as possible was a difficult problem posed by Chief of Staff Jiang Baili to Lao Jiang.

Although it is clear that the Ninth Army will not participate in the next battle for its own benefit.However, in order to ensure the safety of the entire battle, even if he was unwilling in his heart, Lao Jiang must come up with a condition that satisfies Li Guosheng, ensuring that the alliance between the two parties will not break down before the end of the Central Plains War.

Although He Yingqin's conjecture was not completely consistent with Li Guosheng's and Jiang Baili's thoughts.However, generally speaking, the thoughts in He Yingqin's mind coincided with Jiang Baili's ultimate goal in doing this.

Looking at Lao Jiang with a gloomy face in front of him, He Yingqin, who finished his conjecture, chose to remain silent very wisely, waiting for Lao Jiang in front of him to make the final decision.

Counting the results after Li Guosheng captured He Yingqin and wiped out tens of thousands of troops from the Northern Expedition before the first half of the year...>

Counting more than half a month ago, the Ninth Army expelled Han Fuqu, unified Shandong Province, and exchanged for the "chairman" of Shandong Province from itself. The Ninth Army's establishment... >

This time, it was only Li Guosheng's third "force" against him.As the principal of Li Guosheng, he was defeated by Li Guosheng many times, and bowed to Li Guosheng again and again.It is conceivable how much aggrieved Lao Jiang is pent up in his heart.With a livid face, one can almost clearly see the exposed blood vessels, which is extremely frightening.

1 minutes, 2 minutes... >

"Crack...>

After finishing speaking, his livid face gradually calmed down.Facing his old partner He Yingqin, he said, "Respectfully, Li Guosheng has such a powerful army in his hands. If it is upgraded to a front army, what will the prestige of the central "government" be? Therefore, the territory and Compilation of these two, no matter what, can no longer be given to him... >

"Tell me, what else can we give him to satisfy his huge appetite that he will never see the end, find an opportunity, and come up to bite us...>

"'Chairman' is wise...>

As soon as Lao Jiang's eyes lit up, he immediately understood what He Yingqin said.A smile quickly flashed across a face, and he said: "Military rank is indeed a good way...>

"Yes, 'Chairman'...>
