Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The chief of staff, Ma Baochen, was shocked when he heard the words: "Master, why? Why are we retreating? His Majesty's order is for us to take down Changde! How can we explain this retreat to His Majesty the Emperor?"

Ma Jizeng shook his head and said: "Changde, who is still taking a fart? How can I explain it? If I guessed correctly, Li County has already been taken by the youth army. We are all careless. How did Wang Zhenyu defeat Wang Zhengya in the second revolution?" Yes, it was to lure Wang Zhengya's troops to the decisive battle in Changde, and then over the mountains from the west to take Li County, Wang Zhengya's old nest. Looking at the posture of today's battle, if Wang Zhenyu's youth army only has 3 people, I would not believe it if I killed him.* **, I don’t know where he got so much ammunition to arm his army. Chief of Staff, believe me once, I have suffered a lot. Wang Zhenyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This guy is full of tricks. Think about it Look, if this battle itself is a huge trap, then if we continue to stay here, we won't be explaining to His Majesty the Emperor, but we will be explaining ourselves here."

Ma Baochen looked at Ma Jizeng darkly and said: "Master, what you said is a bit exaggerated, it seems that you are really afraid of well ropes after being bitten by a snake for ten years."

Ma Jizeng looked at Ma Baochen with eyes full of anger, and Ma Baochen looked back without giving in. The two of them didn't speak for a while.

Ma Jizeng slapped the table suddenly and said angrily: "Ma Baochen, you bastard, let me listen carefully. I am the commander of the First Route Army and the commander of the Sixth Division, and you are just a staff officer. You can listen to me today. Whether you listen to it or not, you have to follow Lao Tzu's instructions, otherwise don't blame Lao Tzu for being rude."

Ma Baochen was so angry that his face was flushed, he was not afraid to tear his face and shouted: "The surname is Ma (it seems that his surname is also this), I am not afraid of you, today's matter is up to you, when I see His Majesty the Great Emperor, I will have my own share." explain."

Ma Jizeng snorted coldly: "Sue me for the black case, that's fine, then we have to jump out of this deadlock to sue. Come on, pass on my military order, and the supplementary brigade will transfer a regiment to continue the attack tomorrow morning. Follow me and turn in."

Ma Baochen struggled for the last time: "Master, don't forget, we still have family members in Li County!"

Ma Jizeng looked back and said: "As long as our Sixth Division is still there, no one will dare to do anything to them. You can also try to carry out orders in turn."

. . .

"Report to Commander Wan and Commander Liu, Liao Lei, Commander of the Fourth Division, is calling," the military staff reported loudly.

"Nian" looked at Wan Yaohuang counting peanuts with his head down, Liu Xing could only answer the words helplessly.

"This morning, the enemy launched a series of attacks on our Zhujiaqiao main position. In view of this, our army voluntarily abandoned the Zhujiaqiao main position, but no further enemy attacks were seen to expand the results."

Liu Xing nodded and said: "Very well, let them resist step by step according to the original plan, and continue to lure the enemy to the direction of Changde."

Wan Yaohuang said suddenly: "Commander Liu, it's not good. It seems that our plan has been seen through by Ma Jizeng. He is going to run away!"

Liu Xing was stunned: "No way, Teacher Wan, the telegram said that the Beiyang Army was attacked fiercely yesterday. How could it be possible to retreat? He Ma Jizeng did not attack Changde? He is not afraid that Lao Yuansheng will eat him!"

"It's just a cover-up. Quickly, call the [-]th Division to start a full-line counterattack immediately. Inform the [-]th Division Zhou Zhengming and the others to start outflanking immediately. We must cut off Ma Jizeng's troops and prevent an enemy from escaping across the Yuanjiang River." Wan Yaohuang resolutely issued an order.

Liu Xing still admired Wan Yaohuang very much. Although he was puzzled, he still nodded to the staff officer and signaled him to convey the order.

After the staff officer saluted and left, Liu Xing asked, "Teacher Wan, what kind of trickery, how did you see it?"

Wan Yaohuang picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, saying: "If something goes wrong, it's a demon. You also read yesterday's battle report. The loss of the Beiyang Army is definitely enough to hurt your muscles and bones, so logically speaking, It is impossible to attack more ferociously today than yesterday. And if Ma Jizeng is really a brave and reckless man, it is even more impossible to stagnate after a successful onslaught. So there is only one reasonable explanation behind all this abnormality , Ma Jizeng is going to run away, and he is definitely not going back to Li County, he is probably going to Changsha, otherwise he won't be able to play the gecko's tail-docking trick."

After Liu Xing realized it, he said bitterly: "It's not so easy to slip away the fat meat on the lips. I will go in person, come to prepare the horse, and send two guard companies to accompany me to accompany the Eighth Division."

Wan Yaohuang did not dissuade Liu Xing, because although Liu Xing was one year older than him, he was one of his students.His qualifications in the youth army are not considered early, and his military achievements are not outstanding, but he is the leader of an army.Some people have long been talking behind their backs that Liu Xing's current status is due to his younger brother marrying the daughter of the old Wang family.Liu Xing is not an idiot, and he is aware of these arguments, but he has been ignoring them all the time, but he has enough energy in his bones to prove his strength through war.

Another peanut was thrown into his mouth, and Wan Yaohuang's eyes were fixed on the map again, thinking like this for three consecutive days, but he still didn't rest.

The fierce battle in Changde was in full swing, but Wang Zhenyu, the supreme commander, did not devote all his energy to the war. He suddenly went to the Yuanjiang Daily at this moment, accompanied by Chen Gongbo, the second president and editor-in-chief of the newspaper.After several years of development, Yuanjiang Daily has become a well-known domestic media, and it is a sought-after newspaper in the whole southern China.After the outbreak of the War to Protect the Nation, the newspaper continued to issue calls against Yuan, although it was severely closed down by the military and political authorities in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu and other places.However, the political image of Wang Zhenyu and his National Socialist Party became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Chen Gongbo, who had been dismissed from the position of head of the National Socialist Party’s Propaganda Department because of poor grassroots propaganda work, also fought a comeback and was severely punished by Wang Zhenyu. After boasting a few words, the whole person seemed to be drunk, and walked lightly.

"Xiao Chen, this propaganda campaign was well fought, especially in the Shanghai area. After reading your newspaper, many patriotic young people spontaneously came to Anjiang to participate in the revolutionary work of our National Socialist Party. Li Delin from Guangxi also sent me a telegram saying that the team of doctors and nurses, which had been difficult to fill up in the expansion work, has also been filled up with the arrival of a large number of young men and women from Guangdong. This is you, and you Yuanjiang Thanks to all the colleagues in the Daily News, I will say hello to Wang Chunling later, and I must give you a good reward for your meritorious officials."

Chen Gongbo was about to cry when he heard this: "Marshal, you are not talented in a humble position. You have lost the trust of the Marshal before and failed to do a good job in our party's propaganda work. So this humble job is a painful experience. Fortunately, other colleagues in the newspaper office have worked together. It is really not a credit for fulfilling the entrustment of the commander-in-chief by chance."

Wang Zhenyu seemed to have seen through Chen Gongbo's small thoughts, he just smiled lightly, and then patted Chen Gongbo's shoulder in admiration.It seems that Chen Gongbo is indeed a young man with a lot of official addiction.After Wang Chunling was transferred to the head of the Propaganda Department, because of the obvious independence of her political views, she also had resistance to some of her own views, so it was not easy to use.Wang Zhenyu already had the intention to wait for the end of the war, so he transferred Wang Chunling to Xiangxi United University, which was composed of a medical school and an industrial technical school, as the principal and the education director of the Xiangxi Administrative Office. After that, he will be responsible for participating in the construction of Xiangxi.As for the Propaganda Department of the National Socialist Party, it may really need someone like Chen Gongbo to preside over it in order to meet his own requirements. What Wang Zhenyu didn't realize was that his heart was already quietly moving closer to the dictator.

Just when Wang Zhenyu was about to encourage everyone, Huang Shaohong walked in and whispered in Wang Zhenyu's ear, "Marshal, Mr. Frankie, the general manager of Belgian Bank, said that he has something to see."

Since Belgian Bank successfully provided a loan of 1000 million pounds to Wang Zhenyu, Frankie's position in Belgian Bank has become different.Subsequent railway construction projects and industrial development projects made Belgian Bank executives realize that Xiangxi is not a barren land, but a huge cornucopia.

Then the European War broke out, which made the investment environment in Europe very bad. Coupled with the large-scale immigration of Luxembourg, European investors began to pay attention to the local government of Hunan and Guangxi in China.With the in-depth investigation, they came to a very effective conclusion. Wang Zhenyu and the Hunan-Guangxi local government led by him are different from the general Chinese government and Chinese officials. Although they are not service-oriented, they are indeed It is a constructive government.In the area under his leadership, investment in infrastructure construction is very important, and the development of light and heavy industries is also very encouraged. The most important point is that the governments at all levels are relatively efficient and clean, and the county-level government is modeled on the European direct election system. The scope of justice is limited to the middle class and the wealthy, but an independent judicial system restricts the possibility of tyrants doing whatever they want.The transportation is convenient, the society is stable, the resources are abundant, the labor force is cheap, and the returns are remarkable. Looking at the whole of China, you can't find a place more worthy of investment than here.

Under such circumstances, the European capital that entered the Hunan-Guangxi region through the Belgian Bank reached a staggering 1915 million pounds in the whole year of 2500, and this money should have been wasted in vain during the European war.The whole of Anjiang, Liuzhou, and Laibin are under large-scale construction. Among them, Anjiang has also formed a situation where the four cities of Luyang, Qiancheng, Hongjiang, and Anjiang are being built together.

After Wang Zhenyu decided to challenge Yuan, in order to ensure that the investment could be recovered, Belgian Bank urgently added an unsecured low-interest loan of 500 million pounds as military expenses for Wang Zhenyu's military dispatch this time.Therefore, Wang Zhenyu had to pay attention to such a big benefactor's request to see him. He immediately got up and shook hands with Chen Gongbo and others one by one to bid farewell.
