Seeing the prosperity of the First Brigade, Qin Yunpeng was extremely envious.

Qin Yunpeng is a person who is unwilling to be lonely, and he is also a very capable person. Otherwise, he would not be able to hold the high position of Shandong Governor as a commoner.

Qin Yunpeng is quite decisive in doing things. After staying in Kapi for a few days, he went to Paris and then came back to stay in Kapi. Every day, he just appeared in the barracks and training grounds, rarely spoke, and rarely expressed opinions.

A week later, Qin Yunpeng came to Qin Zhiyuan with a telegram.

"General Qin, this is a telegram from home." Before Qin Yunpeng went to Europe, Duan Qirui awarded Qin Yunpeng the rank of Lieutenant General, which happened to be one level higher than Qin Zhiyuan. Therefore, Qin Yunpeng never used honorifics when communicating with Qin Zhiyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan took a look at the letter. There were only a few lines of words on it. The Beiyang government had broken off diplomatic relations with the Germans a few days ago and declared war on the Germans in the near future. The Beiyang government would set up an expeditionary force to join the European battlefield to fight against Germany. The Beiyang government officially appointed Qin Yunpeng as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and Qin Zhiyuan as the deputy commander-in-chief.

Qin Zhiyuan was not surprised by this news, and even felt that the telegram came a little late. Of course, this may also be because the various forces in the country want to play a game.

"Congratulations to Commander Qin. Since the country has such an arrangement, please ask Commander Qin to take office immediately." Qin Zhiyuan was indifferent.

"Haha, congratulations to General Qin on his promotion. It is better to hold an officers' meeting now to announce this decision?" Qin Yunpeng wanted to strike while the iron is hot.

"Okay." Qin Zhiyuan responded casually and turned to walk out of the office.

In the meeting room of the First Brigade, Qin Yunpeng sat in the main seat, looking at the dozen or so school-level officers present, and was very proud. The people present included not only Qin Zhiyuan's direct lineage such as Chen Kangjian and Liu Zizheng, but also French officers such as Pierre and Dinar, as well as officers of the staff such as Zhang Jingzong and Li Fayun. It can be said that there were many talents.

What surprised Qin Yunpeng was that Qin Zhiyuan had not yet appeared, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

Qin Yunpeng was not worried. In his opinion, Qin Zhiyuan was still a Chinese after all. Since he was a Chinese and a soldier, he had to obey the orders of the Beiyang government. Otherwise, he would be unfaithful and unfilial, and an ungrateful person.

"General, General Qin just left the camp by car and disappeared." Qin Yunpeng's guard chief whispered in Qin Yunpeng's ear.

Haha, is this to escape? Qin Yunpeng smiled disdainfully and shook his head secretly. After all, he was a peasant. If he was bullied, he would go home to find his father and cry. He was useless.

Qin Yunpeng made a judgment on Qin Zhiyuan in his heart.

Qin Yunpeng knew the relationship between Qin Zhiyuan and Fuxu. In Qin Yunpeng's opinion, Fuxu valued Qin Zhiyuan because of the army in Qin Zhiyuan's hands. If Qin Zhiyuan lost his military power, Fuxu might not like Qin Zhiyuan.

"Please be quiet!" Qin Yunpeng knocked on the table and wanted to preside over the meeting in person.

Chen Kangjian and others were all Qin Zhiyuan's direct descendants. They were used to being casual. Even in the meeting room, they talked about things in a high-pitched manner without any military bearing or posture. This made Qin Yunpeng, who graduated from the Infantry Department of the Japanese Army Academy, look down on them.

Qin Yunpeng had decided that once he took over the army, he would be ruthless to deal with Chen Kangjian and others. Even if he had to kill one or two of them, he would first establish his authority.

Qin Yunpeng was born a soldier, and naturally he had the decisiveness of a soldier in his bones. He could really do this.

Hearing Qin Yunpeng speak, the officers guaranteed basic etiquette, including Chen Kangjian and others who sat up straight and waited for Qin Yunpeng to speak.

"General Duan has severed relations with the Germans and will declare war on Germany in the near future." Qin Yunpeng got straight to the point and announced an exciting piece of news.

"Great, it's time to declare war long ago. If we don't declare war in our country, we will always feel that we are not justified and are like thieves." Chen Kangjian's words almost represent the voices of all the officers of the Chinese Workers Department.

"That's right, we should have declared war long ago."

"Declaring war now? It should have been declared long ago."

"What does 'in the near future' mean?"

"You don't understand this, you are such a bumpkin."

"If you understand, explain it to me."

"In the near future, it is, it is... What do you care what it means? Ask Master Qin later."

The officers of the Chinese Workers Department were talking about it. Although the staff group did not whisper to each other, they could not hide their joy on their faces.

"General Duan has decided to establish an expeditionary force to start fighting against Germany, and I will be the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force." Qin Yunpeng continued to announce.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yunpeng felt the temperature in the conference room drop to freezing point.

The Chinese workers looked grim, the staff officers looked worried, and although Pierre and the other foreigners didn't understand what was going on, they also felt that the atmosphere was wrong. The conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Where is Mr. Qin?" Chen Kangjian slowly stood up and asked in a low voice.

"General Qin will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. He is not feeling well today, so I will preside over the meeting." Qin Yunpeng responded calmly.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Then wait until Mr. Qin is well before talking about this." Chen Kangjian said, stood up, picked up the hat on the table and wanted to leave.

"It's the same now." Qin Yunpeng responded coldly.

Qin Yunpeng had expected this scene, and he had made certain arrangements to deal with this type of accident.

"Humph..." Chen Kangjian sneered a few times and kept walking towards the door.

With Chen Kangjian taking the lead, all the officers from the Chinese Engineering Department stood up and walked out almost together. The foreigners headed by Pierre didn't know why. Seeing someone leaving, they thought the meeting was over, so they also got up and left. Even some of the staff officers got up.

"Stop!" Qin Yunpeng's face finally changed color.

Qin Yunpeng did not expect the officers' reaction to be so strong. In his plan, there would definitely be people loyal to Qin Zhiyuan, but more people should act in accordance with the golden mean of the Chinese people. In that case, Qin Yunpeng only needs to punish a few leaders and the situation will be stabilized without affecting the overall situation.

"laugh……"

Someone let out a disdainful laugh, and everyone kept walking towards the door without stopping.

"Go back, no one is allowed to leave without General Qin's order!" Qin Yunpeng's guard chief blocked the door, holding his hand on the stronghold around his waist, and shouted sternly.

Touching the gun was just a subconscious intimidation gesture, meaningless. The guard captain knew very well that if these people really wanted to leave, the six bullets in his gun would not have any effect. What's more, this is the camp of the First Brigade. Except for the dozen or so people around Qin Yunpeng, all the people outside are from the First Brigade. He really doesn't dare to take out his gun.

"Get away!" Chen Kangjian yelled angrily and kicked him in the chest.

Before the captain of the guard could raise his hand, he was kicked to the ground by Chen Kangjian.

"Presumptuous!" Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, Qin Yunpeng couldn't sit still and slapped the table and roared.

"Master Qin, I have long disliked this group of officers and soldiers, otherwise we will never stop doing it." Chen Kangjian approached Qin Zhisheng with a fierce look in his eyes to offer his advice.

Officers and soldiers?

Who are you yourself? Could it be that he is a bandit?
