young marshal spring and autumn

From dawn to dawn, Zhang Zuolin was still full of ideas.He said to Jiang Boli with unprecedented respect: "In the past, I, Zhang Zuolin, and my husband shared opinions, but now it seems that I am ignorant. I hope that Mr. Baili will forget the past and help Xiaoliuzi to achieve a great career. Xiaoliuzi strongly recommended you for me before." I still think he is a high-ranking general councilor. Now I have decided to let you be my chief councilor, and the rank will be promoted to general. I have always been suspicious of people, and I have no doubts about employing people. Mr. Baili will go back to rest first, early next month I convened a military and political meeting to discuss the national defense strategy for the Northeast."

Zhang Zuolin, who has always believed in "ruling the country with martial arts", is not stick to one pattern in the selection of talents, since he has to use them, he must make great use of them, so Jiang Baili jumped from lieutenant general to general.Appreciated by young and old marshals successively, he was the fastest promoted general in the early years of the Republic of China.Many people in the top ranks of Fengjun were dissatisfied. Jun said that he was a veteran who followed the commander in chief to conquer the world, but let a newcomer catch up from behind.

Some people sniffed at the fact that the commander-in-chief wanted to hold a so-called national defense strategy meeting: What strategy?Just be able to lead troops in battle.However, the commander-in-chief required all officers at division level and above, provincial governors, and chairman to attend on time. Although he didn't understand, he didn't dare to delay.

The commanders-in-chief of the two generations officially introduced Jiang Baili to the top military and political leaders at the Fengjun National Defense Strategy Conference.On that day, Jiang Baili was dressed in the uniform of a general in the army, and he was full of energy and energy.He looked at the high-ranking military and political leaders gathered together, with a calm demeanor:

"You are all important officials in the military and government, and you also have considerable experience and ability. At this point, Jiang has no merits, and he dare not talk about administration. It's just that I have traveled to Japan and Germany. I have a deep understanding of China's strength and China's weakness, and try to compare them to comfort you.

You all say that Japan is stronger than China, but where is the strength?Did the Japanese train harder than us, or were they better equipped than us?Or is there more personnel than us, or is the rear area wider than us?During this period of time, I visited some army camps. According to my observation, we are no worse than the Japanese army in these fields.Not only that, I served the army in Anmeng and Pingjiang, and marched straight for thousands of miles to show the country's prestige; the young marshal Zhongwei adapted, the morale was high, and it was a precedent for soldiers to obey politics.All of these show that I have one mind in the army. Looking at the country, there are very few opponents at present.

Some people may ask, is the Fengjun an expert in civil wars, or an outsider in foreign wars?Let me try to analyze one or two of the Japanese military forces that have hindered us the most.

In the former Qing Dynasty, Japan, a small border country, defeated the Qing government and became the number one power in Asia. We must remember that someone asked Japan the reason for its victory in the Sino-Japanese War. 'Japan used Boxer indemnity to develop armaments and establish education, and quickly became a powerful empire in the 20th century.A full third of China's national power has been lost.This one-third of the power is all added to the enemy's side.This is the beginning of China's decline.

Now, considering the overall situation in the world, because economic power is combat power, we collectively call it national power. This national power has three elements: the first is "people", the second is "things", and the third is people and things. The "organizations" in the present world can be divided into three groups:

The first group of all three, only the United States.In fact, the United States still has shortcomings in terms of people and organizations.That's why the US Chief of Staff complained: "If we start a war, we have to send those broken steel (referring to the current military strength) to the front line and let him destroy them. If we can deal with them for three months, we will win the war." The meaning of this sentence is to show that his domestic material resources (including manufacturers and raw materials) are sufficient, and because the merchant's economic liberalism is too developed, the government cannot control it and cannot improve according to new inventions.So there are some shortcomings in people and organization.But this shortcoming has its own terrain, and the greatness of the manufacturer, and the strong optimism and self-confidence of the people, can be remedied.

The second group has "people" and "organizations" but "things" are not sufficient, for Britain, for France, for Germany, for Italy, for Japan, and various small European states.There are two types:

The first type is like English and French, where the raw materials in the country are insufficient and can be obtained from overseas.The organization of things is longer than the organization of people.

The second kind is as good as one wishes, the raw materials are not enough at all, and people and organizations are solely relied on for relief.

The third group is Russia, which has "people" and "things" but the organization is not yet sound.After the Great Revolution, we are moving towards organization. This is the basic situation in the world military.

If there is not enough raw material and food, and the economy is in danger, the country will be shaken at all, and the national revolution and the army will not be able to sustain it.So now we have to learn from the pain, and have a deep understanding of a principle: combat power and economic power are inseparable.The practice of this principle is "self-sufficiency". Not only does it mean that if you buy foreign arms, you cannot fight with foreign countries, but even if you eat foreign rice, you are not worthy of fighting with others.All foreign goods that need to be bought with cash, even though the value is only a centimetre, must be carefully considered. Wan try to do it boldly.

In the rise and fall of a nation, I have discovered a fundamental principle since the history of the world, which is that "the living conditions and the fighting conditions are the same, the strong, the separation is weak, and the opposite is perish."

The difference between China and Japan is due to the disadvantages of material and organization.The young marshal is already doing it.The Northeast's three-year economic plan lays the foundation for the enrichment of things.The organizer has not yet been valued by the princes.Now we have 10 provinces in Fengshi, and the troops are scattered in various places accordingly.Once there is a big battle, the troops cannot be concentrated, and there is bound to be the possibility of being defeated individually.The deployment of national defense is self-sufficient and cares about persistence, but the spirit of combat cares about quick results.

Now the Fengjun seems to occupy a vast territory, but in fact there are many crises: the Zhili clique is sharpening their knives and intends to make a comeback;Let me ask you, if Japan makes a sudden attack, how many troops are there in the key passes of the Northeast to fight?What are the chances of winning?Every time there was a dispute between the Northeast and Japan, the Japanese often threatened to refuse to use the South Manchuria Railway.In this way, as long as the superior force is concentrated in a short period of time, it will inevitably be hidden from the Japanese.Therefore, the Japanese army can calmly deploy in the northeast, while our army is constrained everywhere.

Therefore, Japan concentrates its superior forces whenever there is military pressure, while our side is slightly short of manpower.For a long time, the wind of fear of the sun has increased greatly, so whenever there is a dispute with the Japanese side, the government will not act and the wind will fall.As for the folks, hating the sun and fearing the sun coexist.Those who hate Japan do more crimes because of the Japanese people; those who fear the sun, because the government cannot effectively protect the interests of the people, always respond with weakness. Over time, the arrogance of the Japanese will increase, and our people will grow more and more afraid of the sun.

Is the Japanese army invincible as it has been preached?I think this statement is fallacious. "
