"Brother Han Shi, you're here." In fact, Wu Chenxuan did not work there in the Chief's Office in the building of the Ministry of National Defense, but today he unexpectedly sat in the Chief's Office, as if he was waiting for someone. Li Jinglin, who was on duty outside the exclusive conference room of the main seat, saw the fat man with a bowler hat and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

This fat man is the "Jizo Bodhisattva" Han Muxia of the judge group, Han Muxia, who has passed the age of not being confused, was formerly known as Han Jinyong, known as the "Jade-faced Tiger", and was a master who was the same township as the "Yellow-faced Tiger" Huo Yuanjia. Guangxu was born in January of the second year in Xiqing District, Tianjin, in a poor peasant family in Dabo Village, Wangwenzhuang Township, Jinghai County. Originally a non-martial arts family, his father Han Changen and grandfather Han Liangmo were all loyal farmers who "made at sunrise and rested at sunset".

Han Muxia, who had just turned 12 years old, went to Tianjin with his father to sell firewood and happened to meet Zhou Dartmaster of Zhang Mianwen's family's nursing home, and accepted him as an apprentice and practiced art for 3 years. Later, martial arts masters Zhang Zhankui and Li Cunyi learned Baguazhang and Xingyi Boxing. Han Muxia has a tall figure, an aggressive and competitive personality, challenges others, rarely loses, and quickly became famous, known as the jade-faced tiger. The 20-year-old Han Muxia is still not complacent, and he travels to the south and visits famous teachers all over the world. He successively worshiped nine famous teachers such as Li Guangting, Song Youzhai, Che Yizhai, and Ying Wentian to return to Tianjin with the true meaning of national arts.

However, after the establishment of the republic, Han Muxia had a period of time in Tianjin to open a martial arts hall to teach apprentices, concentrating on martial arts research, just when his martial arts hall was thriving, a chance and Japanese ronin clashed, the two sides fought fiercely in the martial arts arena, as a result, one of his apprentices was too heavy, injured a ronin, and later died in the hospital of the Japanese concession. According to the consular jurisdiction at that time, the Japanese asked the Nanjing government to extradite the perpetrator, and Han Muxia stood up for the apprentice and wanted to go to the Japanese to receive the crime, but was sentenced to death by the Japanese consul of the Tianjin Concession. This matter was known to Huo Diange, who was also in Tianjin at the time and had defected to the National Defense Army, and he informed his superiors, and as a result, under the instructions of Wu Chenxuan, the Intelligence Bureau exchanged Han Muxia with two captured Japanese spies, but the Japanese asked Han Muxia to remain incognito and not show up from now on for the sake of face. After this catastrophe, Han Muxia was not interested in opening the museum to accept apprentices, so he simply accepted the invitation of the attendant office, and became the four kings of the attendant office together with Li Jinglin, Huo Diange, and Li Yaochen. However, two years later, in order to prepare for the establishment of the secret organization of the Judge Corps, in addition to Wei Zhongguo's performance of a bitter trick, self-discredited, and became the head of the Judge Corps Yan Luo, Han Muxia, who needed to be incognito, was also instructed by the general seat to change his name to Han Qiaosheng and become the number two person in the judge corps "Bodhisattva", this title is also appropriate for him who is wide and fat.

"Xiuting, is the main seat there?" Han Muxia was still very grateful to Huo Diange who helped him get out of trouble back then, he asked Huo Diange with a smile, "You are on duty today, where is Brother Yaochen?" ”

"Ah, Brother Han, Brother Yaochen has followed his mother to Shanghai, and the general seat and General Staff Duan are inside, waiting for you." Huo Diange said. The two martial arts brothers he admires the most are Han Muxia and Li Yaochen, although they are not experts in Bajiquan, they have a solid foundation in martial arts and are well-informed, and they still give a lot of guidance to his Bajiquan cultivation, which has benefited him a lot.

Li Yaochen, whom they mentioned, was the eldest brother of the Four King Kongs, and the longest-lived of the martial arts masters of the Republic of China, until he died at the age of nearly 100. When he was young, he made a living by darts, and at the age of 18, he entered the oldest and most famous club in Beijing's eight major dart games. After entering the dart game, he worshiped the three emperors and hammers, and learned eighteen kinds of weapons, as well as water, car, and horse kung fu, and also practiced jumping on the ridge of the house, flying eaves and walking on the wall and darts and other skills. Li Yaochen has been in the club for 17 years. In the third year of the Republic, the 300-year-old Huiyou Dart Bureau was disbanded, and Li Yaochen opened the "Martial Arts Tea Society" in Tianqiao Shuiqin Pavilion to continue advocating martial arts. However, he didn't know how to operate and soon went bankrupt, and when he was poor, he was invited to Jinan by the agents of the Coordination Bureau, and accepted the position of bodyguard of Wu Chenxuan, the head of the Ministry of National Defense, and also became the first martial artist in the attendant office, and later Huo Diange and others were also discovered and introduced by him, but the security department of the attendant office was soon assigned to the secretariat and became the security section of the secretariat. They are all people with outstanding martial arts, so they have the nickname of "The Four King Kongs of Security", although only Li Yaochen and the three of them appear on weekdays, Han Muxia is basically an invisible person, but the establishment of the security department All four of them belong to the first-class guards.

"Mr. Yang, please come with me." Han Muxia turned his head and said to a middle-aged man behind him who was not amazing, and he also bent down slightly to guide him sideways, which made Huo Diange feel shocked, even those major generals and brigadier generals in the local area did not see the second brother so solemn, this person must be not small. But the rules can't be changed, Huo Diange said offended, asked the two of them to hand over all the weapons they carried, and asked the two uniformed guards to scan them with detectors, before knocking on the door and guiding the two into the lounge, and when the two stood still at the door, Huo Diange gently stepped forward and knocked on the door of the conference room, and the two female guards inside opened the door, and Han Muxia and the middle-aged man straightened their collars before stepping into the conference room.

"Boss, Han Qiaosheng reports to you. Mr. Yang has already brought. After Han Muxia finished speaking, he dodged to the side. The middle-aged man stepped forward, and although he was dressed in civilian clothes, he still raised his hand and saluted a standard military salute.

"Captain, Yang Shihai, the leader of the fifth detachment, reports to you, please instruct."

"Shihai, you've worked hard." Wu Chenxuan stood up and returned the salute solemnly. Then he went up and walked a few books, and punched Yang Shihai in the shoulder, "How have you been in the past few years, the bread of Americans is so delicious, I don't want the sweet foam and meat buns in our insurance group canteen." ”

"Think, think, how can you not want to? I think about it every day. Yang Shihai's eyes were already moist, "But captain, the task you gave me has not been completed, how can I have the face to come back to see you?" ”

"What did you say, why don't you have the face to see me? You Yang Shihai is the old captain of the fifth detachment, and he is my brother Wu Chenxuan, and he has always been. Do you still have to save face when you come back to see your brother? Wu Chenxuan was also a little choked, the old brother who hadn't seen him for more than ten years seemed to have returned to the days when he was training in the old camp in Ping'an Town.

The two sighed, and when they calmed down, Wu Chenxuan looked at Duan Zhiquan who was smiling behind him, and he hurriedly introduced: "Shihai, General Counselor Duan is also an old acquaintance, so I don't need to introduce you." ”

"Hello instructor, Yang Shi's poster has arrived." Yang Shihai also saluted Duan Qirui, Duan Qirui used to be the chief instructor of their insurance regiment back then, except for Wu Ziyu and others who came later, he and Du Zicheng, Wu Luzhen, Xiao Mingfeng, these detachment leaders were all reprimanded by this unsmiling chief instructor, but without Duan Qirui's strict teaching, maybe they would not have become the insurance group of the Chamber of Commerce that won all battles, and there would be no later Wuyi New Army, let alone the current national defense force of hundreds of thousands of tigers.

After Duan Qirui and Yang Shihai exchanged pleasantries for a short time, they sat down and chatted together. However, after a while, the senior generals of the National Defense Forces, who had received a notice to attend the meeting, came one after another, including Du Zicheng, Wu Luzhen, Xiao Mingfeng, Wu Ziyu, Lan Tianwei, Zhang Shaozeng, Wei Yu, Feng Ru, Chu Zhaodong, and He Xingtian. Du Zicheng and Wu Luzhen were also taken aback when they saw Yang Shihai, and then they talked to this old brother, and they were very interested in his disappearance in the past ten years. After everyone had been talking for a while, General Staff Duan knocked on the table and quieted down.

"Shihai, you can analyze the situation of foreign armies that you have collected over the years. Everyone should listen carefully, this is the information that Shihai has collected incognito for more than ten years. Perhaps there are countries that will be our adversaries tomorrow. After Wu Chenxuan's simple opening remarks, Yang Shihai began to introduce:

"Let's talk about the United States first, in fact, I have spent more than half of my time in the United States in the past ten years. As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, the United States was already the world's number one economic power, in 1920 the United States GDP reached 88.39 billion US dollars, but the United States still enjoyed the superiority of the Atlantic natural barrier at this time, the army only had a pitiful 100,000 people, the establishment of 4 infantry divisions and 1 tank division and 1 reserve division, the number of tanks was only more than 300, basically our "watchtower" tank and France's Renault 17 tank, even ranked behind Poland, barely the seventh in the world. However, the war potential of the United States can be said to be the largest in the world, and according to my investigation by the agents of the Intelligence Bureau in the United States, if the industrial base of the other side is transferred to a wartime state, it can arm 1 million army troops in three to six months. Within a year, they can arm about 3 million troops and provide more than 2,000 tanks and more than 20,000 barreled artillery. As for the air force, there are more than 3,000 registered aviation pilots and flying clubs in the United States, and if they are given one year, they can organize an air force with more than 10,000 pilots, and the scale of its military industry has grown to produce more than 20,000 planes a year. The US Navy is the most combat-ready branch of the United States, and in fact its capital ships are already on a par with Britain, and if it were not scattered across the two oceans, the United States would now be the number one hegemon at sea. When it was said that the United States only had 100,000 troops, several generals were a little unconcerned, especially on the Western Front, the clumsy performance of the American soldiers who had just entered the field was really unsatisfactory compared to the fierce armored assault of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, but when Yang Shihai used his eight years of experience in the United States, three years of study at the Annapolis Military Academy and staff trips in many industrial cities in the United States to tell these senior generals of the Wehrmacht that for the United States, the number one industrial power, his war potential must not be underestimated. Otherwise, it will definitely be annihilated by the other party's steel frenzy.

"Let's talk about the situation in European countries, after the First World War, Europe has begun to show signs of decline, Britain is actually alone in Europe, the domestic economy is sluggish, and a large part of its economy and resources are maintained from the support of the colonies and the United States; France had been defeated, and its sphere of influence had retreated back to its colonies in Africa; Italy's economic crisis, which had erupted in the immediate aftermath of World War I, combined with the arrogance of the Italian army, was really unbearable. Germany and Austria were defeated countries, so there is nothing to worry about. The strength of Red Russia was drawn to the Eastern Front and the Polish front, and it was unable to compete for hegemony for the time being. After Yang Shihai finished talking about the situation in Europe, Wu Chenxuan took the whip and continued:

"It is worth noting that Japan, to the east of us, has an economic aggregate of 8.3 billion US dollars, and is the sixth economic power in the world, except for the two garrison divisions stationed in Korea, the Taiwan brigade, and the independent wings stationed in South Sakhalin and Kwantung Prefecture, Japan has only four fully equipped field divisions and regiments, with a total strength of less than 200,000 troops. However, we must note that Japan has a very large number of soldiers in the countryside, and there is a lot of military education in Japanese schools, so once the war starts, Japan will rapidly expand its troops in large numbers, and according to their industrial capacity, if there is no foreign aid, the limit of their military expansion will be 110 divisions and regiments, more than 2.5 million people. Of course, they can expand their army to 3 million or even more than 5 million, but the quality of their soldiers will continue to decline, and their combat effectiveness may not be stronger than that of the 2.5 million army. Japan's population is just over 76 million, and it will be overwhelmed if it expands its army by more than 3 million; And Japan is an island country, and the navy is the key to their life and death, so their armored forces will not be too strong, and it will be up to the sky if they can have 5,000 tanks, but the Japanese navy's regeneration ability is very strong, even now they can be regarded as the third naval power, not our navy can compare, of course, our navy is not without a magic weapon to restrain them. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Chenxuan smiled at Chu Zhaodong slightly, blinking mischievously, Chu Zhaodong nodded helplessly, but he understood that even in this high-level meeting, those secret weapons and tactics of the navy still could not be made public. The rest of the time is still handed over to Yang Shihai to explain what he has seen and heard in European countries and Japan, not only in military aspects. Even the political, economic, cultural, and various aspects of people's lives were introduced. In fact, this is also one of Wu Chenxuan's goals, he hopes that his senior generals will not be narrow-minded military leaders, but to become compound talents with broad vision and farsightedness. It is right that the military does not get involved in politics, but senior generals must understand politics, otherwise it is easy to become a freak of military dictatorship like the Showa warlords.

"Shihai has worked hard, let's sit down first." When Yang Shihai explained the situation of several major powers clearly, and even picked up the main points of his own experience in various countries, everyone understood what Yang Shihai, one of the five King Kongs of the insurance group, had been doing all these years. Yang Shihai's report talked about a morning, everyone was a little tired, and at noon at the Ministry of National Defense dinner, it can be regarded as a reception for Yang Shihai, but no one dared to drink in the afternoon, and they were all waiting for the next major event, which was a major event related to every general of the National Defense Army.
