"Xueliang heard that Mr. Fang Zhen had set up a 'Military Research Society' and had a very in-depth discussion on national defense construction and military construction strategies. This move cannot be said to be unhelpful, but I believe that China's current military research has gone wrong. ”

These are the words from his heart, but sometimes sincere words can move people and hit people.

Military strategic research is a profession and interest that Jiang Baili is proud of, and it also brings him considerable popularity, but he is unpleasant to be told by a yellow-mouthed child. Jiang Baili is a proud person in his bones, otherwise he would not have committed suicide as the principal of Baoding Military Academy. Suicide is often the proudest of all, and cowards dare not and do not deserve to commit suicide.

Of course, with Jiang Baili's self-cultivation, he didn't change his complexion when he heard it, he just stared at Zhang Hanqing strangely, and said slowly: "Oh, there is something new, I would like to hear it in detail." ”

"It is said that it is a misunderstanding, not the military research itself, but the wrong timing and the wrong direction." Zhang Hanqing ignored Jiang Baili's aggressiveness. Jokes, brother is just telling the truth, see how you refute it.

"In the current military situation in China, Mr. and Uncle Shi are both top talents in the military circles, needless to say. We all know that the gap between us and the Western powers or the Oriental devils is not a day or two. But what's the difference?

Is it a strategy? You must know that China has a civilization of 5,000 years, and the writings of Chinese soldiers in the past dynasties are like sweating cows and stuffing houses. Even now, there is no shortage of top military scientists in China, and Mr. Chiang and Uncle Cai are both one.

Is it the number of people? China is the most populous, and whenever possible, China can arm a few hundred divisions at any time!

But why should China be bullied by foreign powers? Some time ago, the first unequal treaty since the Republic of China was signed under the armed forces of Japan! Why?

It's very brief, and the strength is not as good as people.

The word strength is not the sum of the number of people in the brochure, it is a competition of a country's overall strength, not its existing military capabilities. The so-called comprehensive strength, Xueliang believes, is the overall strength of a country, including the integration of political power, military strength, economic strength, organizational ability, industrial capacity and so on. In modern warfare, the competition is about logistics and equipment, and of course will is also indispensable. But we lack both. Officers and men are fighting for unknown reasons, the army is divided into various factions, the military industry is basically zero, and all weapons are bought.

Both Uncle Cai and Mr. Cai wanted to build a new army modeled after Germany, but there was no progress for many years. With all due respect, Xueliang bluntly said that in the current center, there has been no support. It's not that you can't see it, it's that the situation doesn't allow it.

Mr. Chiang's theory of army building under the German army is very correct, but we just can't reach the level of Germany. Because China is poor, so poor that the salaries of the soldiers cannot be paid, so poor that the divisions can only be equipped with artillery battalions, while the standard German divisions are artillery regiments. With China's current level, there is no decade of development that cannot be achieved.

It is that we have exhausted our national strength and are equipped with the same arms as Germany, but in such a large country and with so many places to defend, the enemy can face the dilemma of insufficient forces in any direction as long as the enemy has sufficient mobility ability. Because, our equipment cannot be delivered to the place where it is most needed in the shortest possible time! This is the impact of backwardness in transport capabilities on the military.

Weapons will always be broken, they will always need to be maintained, and ammunition will always be consumed. Will we be able to maintain a strong military investment at all times? Does the financial situation allow? Can industrial capacity keep up? In a country as big as ours, we can't always rely on buying weapons, but where is our plan?

'The military is the continuation of politics', aside from politics and talking about the military is just talking on paper, the army building plan must match the situation of the country, so Xueliang said that the military research direction of Uncle Shi and his gentlemen has gone wrong. ”

Jiang Baili and Cai Yi nodded when they heard this. It's nothing, and it's an insult to people's wisdom to not even understand this at their level. Several other "pedants" in the office also smiled good-naturedly and looked at Zhang Hanqing's boastful talk. A half-sized doll can have this kind of thinking ability, which is quite good. The Chinese have a tradition of being good teachers, and the office, as the country's highest research institution, should also have a demeanor of advocating rewards for backwards, so no one interrupted him.

Jiang Baili smiled and asked, "Is there any way for Han Qing to solve it?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Hanqing waited for this sentence.

"China now lacks the spirit of Yangmou. The so-called Yangmou is to use developed industry, agriculture, transportation, and economic strength to support China's national defense industry, so Xueliang came up with the term 'industry to save the country', although it is a cliché, but it is the only way to talk about military development. Only with a strong industrial guarantee can military equipment be improved and the combat strength of officers and men be qualitatively enhanced, and only then can we talk about national defense construction as a strategic one. And the current planning, which can only be regarded as tactical, cannot be said to be strategic. ”

Jiang Baili remained silent and continued to ask: "Then do you think that as long as the level of armament is improved, the combat effectiveness of the army will increase?" ”

Zhang Hanqing smiled proudly: "Of course not." Here again, the issue of army building is mentioned. As I said earlier, the contest of willpower is also an important part of modern warfare. The so-called willpower, from the national level, is the soul of the country. With this thing, the national heart can be united, and when war comes, there will be courage, and sometimes this courage can stifle a war; At the military level, it is the soul of an army. No matter how good a weapon is, it is controlled by the soldier who masters it, and the quality of the soldier determines the power of the weapon. ”

Cai Ye was deeply touched by this, and he also asserted: "If we live today and do not use military dishes to cook righteousness and popularize 40,000,000, then China will really die." If you want to build a military and a citizen, you must first cultivate the soul of the country. ”。 As for what the specific content of the "soul of the country" is, although Cai Ye pondered for a long time, he has not been able to answer. He asked Zhang Hanqing: "What does Hanqing think is the soul of China?" ”

Jiang Baili also felt a little interesting, he also restrained his smile, and no longer had the idea of contempt because of Zhang Hanqing's age: "What does Hanqing think is the soul of China's army?" ”

The two of them asked together, coincidentally, one asked the soul of the army, the other asked the soul of the country, spoke together, and closed the voice together, as if they were well-trained. The two old friends smiled at each other's tacit understanding.

Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "What modern China lacks are these two things. The lack of the national soul is that there is no courage to win the title of a great power, there is no spirit to bring together the hearts of scattered people, and there is no way to make the desperate Chinese feel hope and gather strength for this. The lack of military soul is the courage of a soldier to look at death in any situation and establish the confidence to win, and most importantly, the army must know who to fight for. ”

Cai Yi laughed, and the concept of "military soul" that had plagued him for many years was knocked on his heart by the hairy boy in front of him.

Jiang Baili also smiled, yes, what is more exciting than the self-confidence, self-improvement, and pride of a great power? He couldn't believe that these words were spoken by the young man in front of him; He asked Zhang Hanqing with an expectant but unconfident attitude: "Do you think how to cast the soul of China's country and army at this stage?" ”

They have been thinking about this question for a long time, and they have many solutions. Now, he wanted to hear if the young man had any new ideas in his words.

Zhang Hanqing said without thinking: "Bright sword spirit!" For soldiers, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the soldiers are not afraid of death, then the world is invincible; As far as the country is concerned, building a new era and making a great change that has never been done before with the spirit of not being afraid of death is the only way to resurrect the country from the dead and re-establish itself among the world's great powers, especially for China at this stage. ”

"Bright Sword Spirit!" The eyes of the two lit up, and the hearts of everyone in the room were also greatly shocked. What kind of mind should we have to have such insight? Jiang Baili admired a person from the bottom of his heart for the first time, and he was still a little-known young man. Zhang Hanqing is polite and polite, but he still talks calmly and leisurely in the face of a world-class master of his own old demon level, showing maturity and wisdom that is not symmetrical to his age, and at first glance he is a well-educated child of a family. Who in China can teach such a junior? Why was such a national talent not recommended to serve the country in this troubled era? With respect and joy, he happily said: "Han Qing's family history is worthy of being a rising star in the military circles!" I don't know which master my father is, Jiang never expected that there would be someone who had insight into current affairs in the world! ”

Zhang Hanqing Hao Ran smiled, this really doesn't dare to take credit, if you want to find it, just look for Li Yunlong. He said politely: "My father Zhang Zuolin, the word Yuting." ”

"Are you Zhang Zuolin's son?" Jiang Baili Huo Ran stopped. Zhang Hanqing suddenly remembered a public case and shouted that it was not good.

Still four years ago in 1911, Jiang Baili was promoted by his non-commissioned officer classmate Liangbi and appointed as the commander of the forbidden army in Fengtian Province, and then transferred to Zhao Erxunmu to serve as his predecessor again, in this position, he was an official in the same dynasty as Zhang Zuolin. However, he was a young man at the time, and he graduated from the Department of Lu University in Japan, of course, he couldn't look down on Zhang Zuolin, who started recklessly, and the two got along very unhappily. At the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution, the Northeast was in turmoil, and Zhang Zuolin, who had already emerged, took the opportunity to kill him.

As a last resort, he fled from the Northeast, Zhang Zuolin hated his people, and sent people to chase and kill him on the train. Due to Chiang's internal urgency, the staff on the train opened the toilet for his use and locked it on the outside (the original train would not be used before departure, which is in the same vein as modern practice), so he was spared. Because of this incident, Jiang Baili did not wear small shoes for Zhang Zuolin in history, and Jiang Baili served as Wu Peifu's chief of staff in the Second Zhifeng War, and advocated fighting against Zhang Zuolin.

When enemies see each other, they are very red-eyed, and the sons of enemies are no exception. Jiang Baili's attitude suddenly changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and his tone also became angry: "It turned out to be the son of the old man!" Shibei was impressed in the third day, Zhang Zuolin, a hero in the mountains and forests, actually gave birth to a son like you, which is really a trick. ”
