These words are a bit rude, what kind of mountains and forests are heroic, it is nothing more than a mockery of Zhang Zuolin's bandit background, but Jiang Baili is not easy to point directly in front of his juniors, which is a bit too much, and it makes people cold. However, between the verbal expressions, some disdain still jumped on the page.

Zhang Hanqing knew about this entanglement in the history books, and he couldn't avoid it, and he still needed to try to resolve it. Jiang Baili is an outstanding talent who implements Zhang Hanqing's future military building strategy, and if he can be under his command, it will be a great help. He arched his hand and said: "Uncle Shi and my father were a little dirty at the beginning, and even fought against each other, and my father talked about it with Xueliang many times later, but he also regretted it and regretted it. It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, and my father also deeply admires Uncle Shi's talent. He often said, 'Although it may be overkill, I still hope that Brother Fang Zhen can come to Fengtian to help me regardless of his past suspicions, and he must reorganize the army and military forces.' ’”

The above innocence is nonsense, and it is unwarranted for Zhang Zuolin to regret it. However, a confession of innocence at least shows Zhang Zuolin's bearing, and the sedan chair carries people, he Jiang Baili can't help but express something, right? Jiang Baili snorted and said lightly: "Don't dare to be." Although Baili is not talented, he is also a first-class senator of the president's office, and he can still make achievements in the country and the army. Fengjun is only a mere 27th division, where can Jiang be used? ”

Zhang Hanqing knew that it was difficult to recruit such a talent with an abrupt invitation, and he didn't have the current conditions in Fengtian, but he still wanted to try: "Uncle Shi, although Fengtian only has the power of a single teacher, my father has the heart to make big reforms. At present, the rebuilding of the lecture hall, the preparation of the arsenal, the separation of the military and the police, and the reorganization of the new army have all been put on the agenda. Mr. used to be the principal of Baoding Military Academy, with countless talents under him, and he was full of strategy. ”

Of the above things, only the restoration of the lecture hall is about to be done, and the other three are still in Zhang Hanqing's infancy. Zhang Hanqing wanted to try his best to use his incorruptible tongue to lobby this military strategist who had not been out for decades.

Jiang Baili has been in the center for three years, and he has done a lot of things on paper such as strengthening the country and the army on weekdays, and he was not moved at all, but said quietly: "Baili has devoted his life to the prosperity of the country, how can he use what he has learned for public and private purposes?" ”

Zhang Hanqing, with the eyes of people who have come before, naturally does not know how to identify with the country of this era, and he said in a compassionate tone: "The country is prosperous? With the current situation, does Mr. Fang Zhen think it can be done? In troubled times, heavy medicine must be taken, and who has the courage to lead China to carry out a change in the prosperity of the country and the people? The generals everywhere are weighted, who has the courage to truly unify the military command army? No matter how the form of government changes, no one has come up with a solution to it.

This is not the case in Mukden. There is coal, iron, resources, wide land, dense forests, and development. Military orders and government orders are rarely restricted, and they are not like chaos in the Guan. Once there is a chance, it is the time for the uncles to show their strength. The prosperity of the northeast corner will surely drive and support the construction of the whole country. If the Northeast Army can be built according to the ideas of Uncle Shi and others, it will become a sharp weapon of a country. In a word, Fengtian, which is waiting to be revived, has a lot of place for uncles. ”

Jiang Baili let him be as clever as a spring, and he was not moved by it at all. The world is in turmoil, and it is not the best policy to make any decision rashly. However, he still praised Zhang Hanqing for having this kind of insight at a young age: "It is also a blessing for the country that you can have this kind of insight." But now that I have promised the country, there is no need to talk about this matter anymore. ”

Zhang Hanqing couldn't, so he could only suppress his disappointment, bowed and said: "Since Uncle Shi has made up his mind, Xueliang will not be difficult." It's just that a big change is coming, Uncle Shi and Uncle Cai should take care of their useful bodies. When the mountains and rivers meet, there will be a period in the future, and I only hope that I will have the opportunity to guide the country with Uncle Shi and others in the future. ”

Jiang Baili said lightly: "Since you have this kind of knowledge, what I can help you is limited, so there is little point for you and me to meet, say goodbye." ”

"Although I have a heart for the bright moon, the bright moon shines on the ditch." Zhang Hanqing was defeated in the first round of the mountain, and he couldn't stop sighing in his heart.

However, this remark made a middle-aged man with broad cheeks very interested, and he interjected: "Han Qing, can you explain the matter of the arsenal in detail?" How did the Father prepare? ”

The Shenyang Arsenal was an important foundation for the Feng army to be able to gain a foothold in the eastern part of the country and become one of the three warlords of Beiyang, and it was also Zhang Zuolin's proud work. What came to be known as the first of China's four major arsenals was the only ordnance factory that could manufacture cannons before the Anti-Japanese War, and it is still in the works. However, Zhang Hanqing did not say so, he enthusiastically outlined the preparations for the future Shenyang Arsenal: "My father deeply felt the reality that China's armaments are mostly imported from various countries, and the weapon system is like a kaleidoscope, which has caused great difficulties to training, logistics, and maintenance, and is not suitable for large-scale use in the future, so it was decided to prepare for the Shenyang Arsenal, which will start with the preparation of rifles, and the 27th Division will be uniformly replaced. Subsequently, trial production of machine guns, field guns and ** guns will be carried out. In the early stage, we will imitate the 75-mm field guns of the German Krupp, and the medium-term goal is to have the equipment of the divisional artillery regiment in place, and the long-term plan is to develop a larger-caliber cannon to make a benchmark for the standardization and modernization of the army's equipment. ”

This is a fact. At the beginning of the Republic of China, all Beiyang regular troops were all from Germany, and the division was under the jurisdiction of the artillery regiment. However, due to the limited conditions, many backbone units are only equipped with artillery battalions---- which is still good, and more units only have two or three small cannons to fill the façade, and the artillery regiments (battalions) are just empty shelves.

Not to mention the variety of light weapons, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, in the Korean War, there was a situation in which backward Hanyang-made rifles were used against all modernized and armed US troops. When compared with the equipment of the European and American powers, the equipment of the Beiyang armies can only be regarded as a miscellaneous army at best.

In fact, no matter whether there are people of insight in China, they have already prepared for this. Ever since Huguang Governor Zhang Zhidong built the Hanyang Arsenal, the Chinese military has had an extraordinary dedication to being able to manufacture heavy weapons on its own. In 1912, after Yuan Shikai became the president, in view of the fact that the provincial munitions manufacturing industry went its own way, the "Arsenal Command Office" was established in Beijing, which was supervised by Admiral Sa Zhenbing, and Lieutenant General Jiang Tingzi was the director of the Supervision Office. If it were not for the subsequent change of regime, the Chinese military's large-scale plan to popularize standardized weapons would not be a fairy tale.

Hearing that Zhang Zuolin of Fengtian could have such a plan, everyone present was taken aback, especially the middle-aged man who asked: "The construction of an arsenal requires a large number of equipment and a huge amount of money to back it up. Does Mukden have the power to support such a situation? ”

Zhang Hanqing laughed: "You can't be a fat man by eating in one bite, right?" Many things, thinking is one thing, doing is another. However, all matters in Fengtian are being closely planned, and with the improvement of Fengtian's finances, the investment in the arsenal will be more and more large. Compared with worrying about the lack of financial strength, my father is more worried about the lack of military talents, which is what needs to be solved in the short term. ”

He smiled slightly at the middle-aged man: "Your Excellency is so concerned about the affairs of the arsenal, I wonder if you can make any contribution to the preparation of the Shenyang Arsenal?" ”

Cai Ye also smiled slightly and said, "Han Qing asked the right person this time. ”
