Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Wang Zhenyu's words immediately made everyone's eyes brighten, especially Yang Du and Yang Yongtai, these two are masters of intrigue in this era.Now let Wang Zhenyu be so gentle, how can there be any reason why he doesn't understand?

If Yang Yongtai realized something: "So that's the case, but Commander, I don't know how to choose between the three places?"

Wang Zhenyu thought for a while and said, "I really haven't thought about this, what do you guys think?"

Li Zongren and Wang Zhenyu's sister Wang Ziqi have already set a wedding date, and Li Zongren, who plans to get married in May, thought about it and said: "After much deliberation, it is better to take the land of Shaanxi first, and start with Guanzhong. I have the world, and the entire northwest is within the radiation range of our army." below."

Yang Du interjected: "Chairman, I'm afraid I have to say a few words about the issue of Tibet. Here we have to consider the factors of Tibetan Buddhism. Moreover, due to the unique geographical location of West China, we should send an army to It is easy to enter, but it is not easy to stop us with the strength of the Tibetan army, but it may not be so easy to truly consolidate this area. Moreover, the influence of Tibetan Buddhism is not only in Tibet, including Xikang, Qinghai , Mongolia, and Gansu are all quite influential. My opinion is to first decide on Gansu, and connect to Xinjiang.”

Yang Yongtai shook his head in disapproval and said: "It's a matter of priority, Tibet is close to us, and it's rare that the British don't have much strength to take care of this place at the moment. If they don't take action at this time, it may be even more difficult to do so in the future. And just now Mr. Xizi also said that this Tibetan Buddhism is of great use to us in solving the Outer Mongolia issue, so it is better to control it as soon as possible.”

Although Zhao Hengti no longer served as the head of the European Military Observer Group because of the establishment of the Military Commission and the withdrawal of the Military Observer Group after China formally dispatched troops to Europe.But his mind is still on the European battlefield: "I personally don't think that now is the best time to solve these border issues. Even Cao Kun and Wu Peifu in Henan and southern Zhili are sincerely cooperating with us. The strength is not enough to challenge the government of Duan Qirui, which has an army participating in the war. Now we have a large army outside, and the total number of 21 divisions remaining in the country is only 21, and the defensive area is so wide. I still think that the result of our movement here It is likely to be the beginning of a nationwide civil war, and we may not have an advantage. According to the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the current Beiyang Army has changed its guns from shotguns with the great assistance of Japan, and the number of 75mm artillery equipped with division-level firepower has reached 24. And Japan has already stationed a heavy artillery unit in Qingdao in Shandong and Tianjin in Zhili. These Orientals changed into Beiyang military uniforms and came to fight with us if they were not safe. Don’t look at our so-called Jianghuai natural danger. There are loopholes everywhere in the fight. ..."

Ma Xicheng did not express his attitude, but said very kindly: "At present, the Ministry of Armaments has greatly reduced the production capacity of military products, and a large number of technicians have been transferred to the construction of new projects. The company's tasks are very heavy, so the current army's full manpower rate of less than 50.00% is actually in line with the work needs of our Armament Department. If we must intervene in border issues, this may need to be readjusted."

No matter what he said, it didn't sound like he was supporting Wang Zhenyu. To put it bluntly, Ma Xicheng was almost saying that the Ministry of Armaments hadn't made any preparations for Wang Zhenyu's huge plan.

After Wang Zhenyu put out the cigarette butt in his hand, he said loudly: "I know, we have one or another difficulty now. If we put it in the past, maybe I should think about whether I should slow down a little bit. I should wait and see. Have a look. But are we the same now as in the past? Are we still the small forces that lived in the west of Hunan? In today’s position, if we still look at this country, this nation, and this society with the thinking of the past, what are we? We will suffer a lot. To solve many problems, we can’t just see the difficulties in front of us, and then shrink back when we are afraid. We also need to look at the long-term. How much? So we must learn to smash these pots and pans, and don't be blinded by the gains and losses in front of us. The issues in Tibet and Xinjiang must be resolved as soon as possible, and I will not ask more about the issue in Shaanxi. Mr. Xizi and Changqing Brother, do a good job of summing up, what method can we use to deal with Chen Shufan, and it will not cause a backlash from Beijing. At the same time, how to solve the problems in the eight towns of Longshang? The Xinjiang issue has been resolved. Together with the Railway Corps Command, the Ministry of Communications, and the China Railway Corporation, you have given me the planning and planning of the railway from Xi’an to Dihua. This railway is very important to our northwest stability and national defense security, and must be given priority Think about it."

Wang Zhenyu's attitude can be said to be very resolute, and he is a bit of a rogue, and he actually acts as a shopkeeper in the face of difficulties.Alas, there is no way, who let everyone hold his job, everyone exchanged glances with each other, and honestly went to find a way.

Three days later, Wang Zhenyu was presented with a plan jointly prepared by two master conspiracy masters, Yang Yongtai and Yang Du.

Yang Yongtai was responsible for the detailed explanation of the entire plan: "We worked with Chief of Staff Wan and Minister Li to formulate this action plan code-named "Shooting Sirius". Good people will execute it for us. One of these two people is Liu Xiang and the other is Yang Sen. They currently have low status in my system and it is difficult for them to be promoted, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they have a group of people under them, and these Most of the people are big landlords in Sichuan, and the relationship with the local Paoge forces in Sichuan is also complicated. So this time, the issues of Tibet and Xinjiang can be solved together with the issues of land and social reform in Sichuan. We can first coax these local snakes out of Sichuan, and let them take their own forces to fight against the local snakes in Tibet and Hanzhong. Then, during the war, we bought their land with gentle means, and then we continued to use human resources and Support them materially. Based on the strong men in Sichuan, we will pacify Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, and Xinjiang. At that time, our resistance to land reform and social reform in Sichuan will be far less than that of other provinces. At present, in the provinces we control Among them, only two provinces, Hubei and Guangxi, have successfully implemented land reform and social reform, and the other provinces have failed to implement it.”

The issue of land reform and social reform has always been a long-standing problem that has plagued Wang Zhenyu. With the outbreak of the February Revolution in Russia, the October Revolution may not be far away.If you don't find a land reform policy suitable for China, a large agricultural country, as time goes on, when Soviet Russia decides to export revolution to China, you don't have to wait for the working class to wake up. The acute rural problems will be enough to make your current situation worse All in vain is enough to make the wheel of history return to its original track.But on the other hand, whether it is to distribute the land to local tyrants, or to establish agricultural and fishery associations to buy land, it can only alleviate the three rural issues in China to a certain extent.In the face of strong feudal clan power and backward agricultural productivity, most of the labor force is still tied to the land, unable to enter the city to participate in modern industrial construction and urban construction, and its personal social value remains at two crops a year. Or cooked three times.

Therefore, if we want to speed up the modernization process of the entire country and ease the current social contradictions, we must not only carry out land reform, but also carry out a social reform aimed at feudal clan rights.And this difficulty far exceeds the land reform itself, and it is a headache to think about it.

Wang Zhenyu leaned back on the chair and did not rush to speak. After a while, he asked in a flat voice: "What name do you plan to let Yang Sen and Liu Xiang come out of Sichuan? This will take us out of the whole operation of shooting Sirius. "

Yang Yongtai glanced at Yang Du, Li Zongren, and Wan Yaohuang present, and said: "Recently, Beijing's activities in Sichuan have been rampant, and the Military Intelligence Bureau has a deep grasp of them. Since Duan Qirui has feelings about Sichuan, With such big expectations, we might as well let him succeed once, and let him take the blame this time. Liu Xiang and Yang Sen will betray you, Marshal, and then pretend to be unable to withstand our crusade and escape from Sichuan. Enter the Tibetan area, and one enters Hanzhong. We need to make great efforts to support the Hanzhong line. I think we can ask Mr. Xizi to supervise it. As for the Tibetan area, I will personally follow up and invite the commander in chief. rest assured."

Wang Zhenyu shook his head when he heard this and said: "You don't want to go to Tibet. I thought about it, let Chen Shao go, you'd better go to Zhengzhou, Cao Kun, and Wu Peifu. Waiting for Duan Qirui to call, I'm afraid I really can't bear it."

Everyone nodded. Recently, this Chen Shao was in the limelight. After following Wang Zhenyu for a few years, because he once controlled the organization department of the National Socialist Party, he trained and promoted a group of party cadres from top to bottom, and he had his own influence in the military and political circles. With the development of time, it gradually became a sub force.Moreover, with Sun Wen's upcoming appointment as the chairman of the National Government, this sub-power will be further developed. This is not what Wang Zhenyu hopes to see.In fact, today's Chen Shao is different from the Chen Shao who went to Jingzhou to join Wang Zhenyu a few years ago. It's hard to confide. . .
