At this time, the young man of the Jiang family in the eyes of the people was ambitious, and the fact that the Japanese Taisho Emperor gave him a knife has made him famous at home. Because it is rumored that in the Japanese Military Academy, even if Jiang Baili does not win the first place, the Japanese still can't get the emperor's sword, because the second place at that time was Cai Yi. The excellent results of the three Chinese in the Japanese military academy made the Chinese who had been bullied by the Japanese raise their eyebrows when they mentioned this matter, so the fame of the "Beiyang Three Masters" enjoyed fame in China, especially in military circles.

Moreover, Jiang's background and experience are also typical of many elites in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China. After he returned to China, he was also active in the current situation, and his self-killing behavior as the principal of the Baoding Military Academy added a lot of tragic colors and made him admired by the people of the time.

At this time, Jiang Baili had served as a first-class senator of the Presidential Office for more than two years. When Zhang Hanqing saw him, he was elegantly sipping tea. Several of his colleagues, who were either gray-haired or gray-sided, were reading newspapers or chatting privately, which was very comfortable.

The command office is theoretically equivalent to the modern Central Military Commission, but in the early years of the Republic of China, the control of the army was in the hands of the provincial generals, and the presidential office could only be reduced to a think tank. It only has the right to make recommendations on the military side, and this power of advice is only valid for the president---- not even senior staff officers---- Beiyang government has a separate army staff department and another senior staff officer.

In the early days of the Beiyang government, the state was extremely short of financial and material resources, and the government was unable to carry out Jiang Baili's plan to reorganize the army. At that time, whether it was Yuan Shikai or Beiyang important ministers, everyone was still thinking about purely tactical things, involving long-term strategic choices, not because they didn't want to, but because the conditions were insufficient. Jiang Baili, who is known for his strategy, does not tolerate Beiyang officers who form gangs.

The hot-blooded Jiang Baili could only do some things on paper, and he organized a military research society with 11 people, including Cai Yi and Yan Xishan, to study various military academic issues in depth. During this period, he continued to write to Yuan Shikai, offering suggestions and suggestions for national defense construction and army building, and expressing his strong desire to build a powerful armed force.

But Lao Yuan did not cite him as a cronie. The reason why he was made a senior senator was only because of his name. Of course, for Jiang Baili, Lao Yuan still has "quite" respect on the surface: "Do you have a theory? Good, good, good. The War Department studied it carefully and reported it out. Oh, having difficulty? That~ Fang Zhen, you also know that when we first built the Republic of China, we were in ruins, these ideas are good, but there is no money to do them for the time being. Either you will study and study it first, and when the conditions are ripe, we will do it with great fanfare. It's not that you don't do it, it's not that your theory is bad, it's that the conditions are not available now, the conditions are not available. When do you have a new idea, come to me directly~ That Adjutant Hao, order the security department, as long as Fang Zhen comes, no matter how busy I am, tell me directly. ”

Therefore, the current Jiang Baili is bright on the surface, and the bitterness inside is only known by God, the earth, himself, and his friend Cai Yi.

For the office, Cai Ye is familiar with the road. Zhang Hanqing wanted to visit Jiang Baili, but it was nothing. It can be seen that although Zhang Hanqing is a teenager, he has an IQ that is not inferior to that of adults. When asked about the military and political affairs of Fengtian, he could answer in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but think: "Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, it seems that Zhang Zuolin has put a lot of effort into his eldest son." It's okay, just let Brother Fang Zhen enlighten and enlighten in the military, and turn against Yuan in the future, maybe it will really become a big help. ”

To tell the truth, about Jiang Baili, Zhang Hanqing also knows his name from the pile of old papers in history, and knows his theoretical system of "exchanging space for time" against Japan, but that's all. It can be said that Zhang Hanqing has nearly a hundred years of historical knowledge more than them, and this kind of doctrine related to "Protracted War" has been proven by facts, but it did not cause him to be shocked as it was at the beginning of its publication.

Zhang Hanqing is actually interested in his identity as a military educator. He himself had a very high status in military circles (not a position or power), and among his students were Chen Mingshu, Tang Shengzhi, Fang Shengtao, Liu Wendao, Zhang Zhizhong, Chen Cheng, etc., who became generals of the "National Government" in history. He also educated Jiang Ying, the daughter of a famous singer, as well as Qian Xuesen, the son-in-law of the most famous expert in New China in the future, and a nephew Jin Yong (friends in the martial arts world can be clear) and relatives Xu Zhimo (this famous name goes without saying). Not to mention his later contributions to China's military history, he himself is a legend.

With melancholy eyes and a thin and handsome face, he deserves to be the "idol of middle-aged and elderly women", this is Zhang Hanqing's first impression of him.

Cai Ye is an old friend of Jiang Baili, and they are so familiar with each other that they don't need to be polite. But he still introduced Zhang Hanqing to Jiang Baili solemnly and said: "Brother Fang Zhen, I will introduce you to a little friend, he is still quite insightful in the perspective of military science. ”

Everyone was shocked.

To be called quite insightful by General Cai, who is famous all over the world, must be quite remarkable, you must know that Cai Ye has one thing to say, and never bends his waist because of his feelings. He said the young man could, that must have two brushes.

Zhang Hanqing calmly saluted Jiang Baili, who is also famous all over the world: "Uncle Cai Shishu praised it falsely, but the little nephew didn't dare to be it." Xueliang has seen Mr. Jiang. "What he respects is not his position, not his erudition, but his ambition and enthusiasm for the rise of China.

Jiang Baili looked at Zhang Hanqing, who looked childish, and the surprise in his heart was extraordinary. He has enough confidence in Cai Yi, and he is also very interested in Cai Yi's military science views, after all, this is his strength, and he has always been immersed in it, but it is a bit exaggerated to recommend a half-grown child to him so solemnly. Military science is a very complicated subject, and he only dares to say that he has been immersed in it for half his life, so what shocking views can this boyish-faced guy have? Looking at his appearance, I'm afraid he hasn't even held a gun!

However, with Cai Yi's face, he could only smile and say with the idea of praising the backwards: "Oh, the future is terrifying, but you have to take a good test---- Xueliang, what do you call your name?" ”

Zhang Hanqing made a respectful statement: "Little nephew Hanqing." ”

Jiang Baili nodded and said, "What books does Han Qing usually read?" ”

Zhang Hanqing's heart was cold, this is a typical elder's caring argument for students in school. However, when he thinks of his former status as the president of a military academy, this instinctive reaction is also normal. After thinking for a while, he said: "The little nephew is fortunate to have studied under the Fengtian Confucian Jin Xihou for several years, and he usually dabbles in politics, economy, diplomacy, and military affairs with his interest. Originally, I wanted to enter the Fengtian Lecture Martial Arts Hall this year to systematically study military affairs, but my father wanted my little nephew to come to Beijing to see the world, and now he is studying at Peking University. ”

Peking University, hehe, Jiang Baili can only hehe. At this time, Peking University was definitely not as famous as the later generations, basically in the hearts of aspiring people at that time, this was a place where high-level children were gilded. Those who really have the ability either go abroad, or Tsinghua University, or put pen to paper to do a career in the military academy. When the war is in chaos, those who can endure to do reading and learning are indeed worthy of respect, but the number of people will not be too many.

"Leaked bottom, huh? Fifteen or sixteen-year-old hairy children know about military affairs, and they are ashamed to say how much they have dabbled in? This must be whose children want to come to Beijing to make a reputation, and it is normal for Songpo to come to help out if he can't get in the way. economy, I dare not say that I understand; But when it comes to military affairs, if you say that you know a little about others, you can only say that you are dabbling; As for politics and diplomacy, it's really a big project, which one doesn't affect the whole body? It is estimated that the adults in the family chatted about some stories and were heard by the children, so he took it for granted that he listened and thought about it with interest, and some strange ideas were not known.

Using his military strengths to test the juniors, Jiang Baili will not be so boring, just playing the piano to the cow. But talking about some military affairs, the current domestic political climate is not very healthy, Jiang Baili didn't dare to ask nonsense---- he was afraid that Zhang Hanqing would talk nonsense. Since it has been determined that Zhang Hanqing is a child of a certain family of Cai Yi, he must be a person with a certain status. They discuss the current situation in private, and the children may hear it, if they are quick to talk and have no ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and are accidentally pulled out, didn't they hurt other people's parents?

So he simply took what happened abroad, and now the only thing that can attract attention in the world is the world war that is going on vigorously, so he asked: "I don't know how much Han Qing knows about the current wars in European countries?" ”

This is a big topic, which can be stretched and contracted, but it can also allow Zhang Hanqing to play freely. If you don't know, it's another matter, but if you know that even if you can say the names of the various countries that are at war, with Jiang Baili's shrewdness, you can naturally praise him and then close the palace perfectly.

Most of the people in the command office are veterans with some prestige and status in the Beiyang military circles, and there is not much specific work to do, and when they saw Jiang Baili's children taking the entrance examination, they all smiled and put down the things in their hands, and listened to Jiang Baili's views on the international situation---- according to tradition, is it not to comment on the division commander? With Jiang Baili's level, it is of course rare to have the opportunity to listen to his analysis of the world war situation, in case there is a military discussion in the future, everyone can broaden their horizons in advance, right?

Zhang Hanqing was overjoyed in his heart, here!

Almost any student who received the nine-year compulsory education of the later system, as long as he was not a scumbag, should be very clear and concise to make the most accurate assessment of the First World War, after all, there are textbook answers. For an angry young man like Zhang Hanqing, commenting on the First World War is really pediatric, he can even go up and down for 5,000 years, oh no, it's more, up and down for a thousand years. The First World War, which took place a hundred years ago, has been clearly dug out, do not doubt the intelligence of those who have come before, hindsight is both a derogatory and an affirmation. Zhang Hanqing's first thought was not to predict too accurately, so as not to appear too magical!

"The assassination of Archduke Ferdinand was the beginning of the war in Europe, but without this event, this war in Europe would have broken out. As far as I can tell, this is just the beginning, and a bigger battle is yet to come. They won't stop until they break their heads and bleed and their vitality is badly damaged. I think the meaning of Uncle Shi's examination of the younger nephew is that China should maintain the attitude and whether it can find opportunities that are beneficial to China. According to history, Zhang Hanqing is full of confidence.
