The two captains, Zhang Hongwei and Wang Jiansheng, wore white naval uniforms and armed around their waists at the front of the phalanx. Two hundred naval officers, wearing boat-shaped hats, followed Zhang Hongwei and Wang Jiansheng through the review stand in unison. The 200 officers are the first batch of cadets trained by the Naval Academy, and they are still far from Hu Wenkai's requirements for internships, and it will take at least two years for them to be trained.

The dark face, the white navy uniform, looking horizontally at a line and a bar vertically, the sound of the square team stepping on the clang.

Hu Wenkai saluted and shouted: "The naval officers and men are mighty! ”

"Listen to the leader Hu Wenkai and follow the Fujin Party." Respond to the brush.

The navy has been hidden by Hu Wenkai for a long time, and today is the first appearance, and the people on the viewing platform are talking about the navy one after another. Many people saw their navy for the first time and asked about the current state of the navy.

Hu Wenkai turned his head and said: "My navy is still very weak and belongs to the coastal defense type, but in the near future, our navy will reach the same size as the Western powers." ”

Hu Wenkai's words made everyone's blood boil, and it should not be far away in the near future.

Li Manqiang and Dong Qilong raised their heads and straightened their chests, wearing major generals' dresses, their legs were straight and powerful, and their leather boots were shiny. Behind him are a phalanx of ten Yanyang Military Academy cadets, and the lowest rank is also captain.

"The cadets are mighty!"

"Listen to the words of the leader Hu Wenkai and follow the Fujin Party." One by one, the phalanx of students passed by the viewing platform.

The applause rang out from the viewing platform, and everyone knew that these were the officers and cadets of the core force of the Fujin Party, and in the future, they would rely on these cadets to lead the troops to fight in all directions.

Wu Peifu said with a gleam in his eyes: "Ren Gong, the Fujin Party is very powerful, there are more than 2,000 officers above the captain level alone, and if all the troops are lowered, they will soon be able to pull up 100,000 troops." ”

Liang Qichao said insincerely: "Ziyu, this is still early, at least two years of study in the military academy before you can leave the army." ”

Wu Peifu squinted at Liang Qichao and then raised the telescope on his chest to continue watching.

A flag was held flat with the words Zhejiang Blocking Pioneer Battalion. Soldiers of the first battalion marched past the viewing platform in full armor. The people on the viewing platform started to talk about it, and this battalion completely annihilated a brigade of the Fourth Division in Deqing. Lu Yongxiang's face was a little unbearable, and he coughed lightly, and Wu Peifu suddenly realized and laughed.

"Ziyu, don't laugh at me, if your third division encounters this kind of troops, it will be the same as the fourth division." Lu Yongxiang said dissatisfiedly.

Wu Peifu didn't pick up the stubble, but the upturned expression on the corners of his mouth betrayed his heart, and Lu Yongxiang didn't say much, there was nothing to be ashamed of having joined Hu Wenkai's team.

Jiang Qiuming and Dai Jitao gathered around Sun Xiaolan, who had just stepped onto the viewing platform.

"Sun Xiaolan, I just found out that you are a special bag today, and I want to highlight that you use a red parachute when I pick an umbrella, for fear that others will not know about you."

Sun Xiaolan grinned happily and said: "Hehe, it's rare to show your face, despite your criticism, you have already made a fuss anyway, and your heart is very comfortable." ”

Jiang Qiuming clapped his hand on Lieutenant General Sun Xiaolan's epaulette and said, "Nima, I regret that I should join the army." When I saw Sun Xiaolan's sassy appearance, I was jealous. ”

"Jiang Qiuming, don't toss. If you want to come to the army, how can I mess around, the benefits will definitely be robbed by you, maybe you will use a green parachute to parachute. ”

"Sun Xiaolan, you wait, I'll paint your general's hat green in a while. Nima actually let me jump into the green parachute. Jiang Qiuming touched Sun Xiaolan's general hat with his hand.

As a few people spoke, a low roar could be heard in the distance.

Sun Xiaolan laughed and knocked Jiang Qiuming's hand off and said, "The next is the appearance of the big sao bag, you pay attention." ”

Gao Jinchang was wearing a major general's uniform, standing straight on the armor in front of the chariot, and gave a left hand salute motionlessly.

It was followed by fifty chariots, the roar of which made the viewing platform tremble slightly. The thick barrel pointed forward, and behind the 12.7 anti-aircraft machine gun stood the machine gunner, and a row of three drove past the viewing platform.

The military parade had the strongest shock to the civilian Re-Progressive Party members, who had not expected the Re-Progressive Party troops to be so mighty, but now they had a great impact on their hearts after observing them. Hu Wenkai's purpose is to unite the troops through military parades one after another, so that they can have a sense of honor and belonging.

Han Xiaojun picked up the microphone again and said, "Next, I would like to ask the leader, General Hu Wenkai, to read out the commendation order and commend the meritorious participants." ”

The Fourth Mixed Brigade is a collective first-class merit, a flight brigade is a collective second-class merit, a Zhejiang Blocking Pioneer Battalion is a collective second-class merit, an airborne assault regiment is a collective third-class merit, and a navy is a collective third-class merit.

More than 300 officers and men were awarded first-class, second-class, and third-class merits. Hu Wenkai's mouth was bitter, and it took half an hour to finish reading.

The officers and men who read their names could not suppress their excitement in their hearts, and this is not simply a commendation for meritorious service, as long as they receive third-class meritorious service, their lives will be guaranteed.

The medal of merit of the third class is a bronze stamped shield in the shape of a military flag in the center, and the medal is numbered behind the medal, with a red, white and blue ribbon, the medal of merit of the second class is silver, and the medal of merit of the first class is made of gold.

The name of the medal is the Order of Victory, and a row of ten people came to the stage to award the medal. Liang Qichao, Lu Yongxiang, Dai Jitao, Jiang Qiuming, Sun Xiaolan and others took a group photo of the awarding officers and soldiers wearing medals.

After lunch in the barracks at noon, Hu Wenkai, Wu Peifu, Liang Qichao, and Lu Yongxiang gathered at the meeting.

Hu Wenkai couldn't figure out whether Wu Peifu's visit was just to observe the triumphal ceremony.

"Wen Kai heard that you met with the Japanese Minister Kohata Yukichi in Shanghai?"

"Yes, I talked to Yukichi Kohata for an hour or two."

Wu Peifu asked, "Have you talked about the Jiaodong Peninsula?" ”

"What's going on? He brought it up? I replied that he should ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about this. Did the Japanese frame me? ”

"He didn't frame you, but just negotiated with the diplomatic department to ask your troops to withdraw from Shandong, otherwise Shandong's rights and interests would not be handed over."

Hu Wenkai laughed: "Kohata Youji really dreams, if the Japanese don't return the Jiaozhou Peninsula, I have a hundred ways for him to return it, how can the land of China tolerate him to be rampant." ”

Wu Peifu said to Liang Qichao: "Ren Gong, you need to cultivate and recuperate now. ”

Liang Qichao shook his head and said: "I still had some concerns in the past, but now I think that as long as the Japanese don't stir up trouble, as long as they dare to make trouble, they will kill him directly." ”

Hu Wenkai laughed when he heard the teacher's reply, Liang Qichao must have been inspired by the military parade just now. Now that the war has just subsided, it will break my bones if we fight again, and I still fight with the Japanese.

"Uncle, what do you mean by Beijing?" Hu Wenkai wanted to know what Cao Kun thought.

"Beijing did not say anything, but France and the United States said that this is an internal Chinese affair and has nothing to do with the return of the Jiaozhou Peninsula, and hopes that Japan will not make a fuss, and it is better to properly handle this matter before the US vice president's visit to China." However, Japan will listen to the Americans, and I am not optimistic. Wu Peifu looked at Hu Wenkai after speaking.

"Uncle, this is a common trick used by Japan, if he doesn't care about the attitude of Europe and the United States, why should he discuss it with our country. It's just that he wants to leave benefits for himself when he hands over the rights and interests of Shandong, so don't pay attention to him. Japan's economy is in recession to the point where it is impossible to unravel the blame, and the central government wants to force Tohoku to safeguard its national interests and not to make concessions beyond the treaty. ”

"What does this have to do with the Northeast?" Wu Peifu was a little puzzled.

"Uncle Northeast is Japan's biggest cake in China, and the country needs to make its attitude towards Zhang Zuolin, if it sells the rights and interests of Northeast China, it will not hesitate to conquer Zhang Zuolin by force."

Hu Wenkai said that at this time, Wu Peifu came to his senses, and Lu Yongxiang stood up and poured Wu Peifu full of tea and said: "Ziyu, I think it's good to try the Japanese, can you know what they want to do with China?" ”

"The last time Wen Kai said well, China's two key historical processes were all made to Japan to be confused, and the next ten years will be the window for China to take off. I wonder if Japan has found that the Yangtze River Delta is developing too fast and can't sit still and wants to find fault? ”

Hu Wenkai thought for a while and said: "They are still under the civilian government, and it will not be a matter of time for at least a year, and the central government will still issue a statement in preparation for a rainy day, and all agreements that are not endorsed by the central government will not be recognized, and as long as the warlords in various localities borrow money and sell their sovereignty behind the back of the central government, it will be a traitorous act that will not be recognized." ”

"Uncle, the Shandong issue is very simple, and it will definitely be returned by October, but the situation in the Northeast is very erosive. No one can say how many rights and interests Zhang Zuolin sold to the Japanese, and my suggestion is to keep beating Zhang Zuolin, and if it doesn't work, the Northeast will be completely resolved in September next year. ”

Hu Wenkai's words surprised Wu Peifu: "Zhang Zuolin's defeat and retreat to the Northeast this time has greatly damaged his vitality, and the entire Northeast is full of less than 100,000 horses. Wen Kai: Are you going to solve the Northeast in September next year? ”

"Uncle must completely solve the Northeast, can no longer let the Northeast provide resources cheaply to Japan, now Jiangsu has a great demand for resources, and its own country has resources to buy abroad, and the losses are huge."

In 1906, in order to implement the right to operate the South Manchuria Railway, the South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. was established in Dalian, and the attached land, factories, mines, agriculture, animal husbandry and animal husbandry around the railway were plundered. Then, after the planning of the Manchurian Railway, the Japanese government put forward the national policy of "immigrating to Manchuria", and Aichuan Village, Yaei Village, and the pioneer group began to spread all over the Northeast.

Hu Wenkai can't bear the Northeast becoming a blood transfusion base for Japan, and he has been laying out for almost a year. Song Zhipeng's development in the Northeast is decent, but he still can't achieve the results he envisioned.

Wu Peifu saw that this matter was almost over, and considered how to ask Hu Wenkai for funds. Hu Wenkai promised to provide funds for the expansion of his troops, and the troops were expanded by 10,000 people, and the salaries began to dry up.

"Wen Kai, my uncle listened to your opinion and expanded the army by 10,000 people, and now the military salary is almost unaffordable."

Rao is Liang Qichao couldn't help laughing, and Lu Yongxiang turned his head behind him and smiled.

"You two laugh at each other, I'm serious, my unit is trained for Wen Kai, he doesn't give money, who will pay him?"

Wu Peifu was stationed in Henan to indirectly block Hu Wenkai's direct lineage, and Hu Wenkai knew that he needed to pay protection money. The money is worth it, otherwise troops will need to be stationed to protect the safety of Xuzhou and Anhui.

"Uncle, don't you say that I'm also going to let people send money over, pay 250,000 yuan today, and pay 250,000 yuan at the end of the year?"
