On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, a train from north to south stopped at the Jinan platform. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Carrying a briefcase in his hand, Yang Du stepped onto the platform as an ordinary passenger. The platform was full of people, and the platform, which should have been deserted, was very hot on the contrary, and there was no sense of war at all. The gendarmes on the platform stand tall and faithful to their duties. There is no domineering and yelling attitude towards the passengers around him. Everyone is full of vitality, and it can be seen that this is a hot land full of life.

Yang Du seemed to be infected and couldn't help but pause to check. On the opposite platform, the porter was unloading the truck shouting. During the Chinese New Year, there is still a steady stream of supplies from all over the country. Once upon a time, there was such a scene in the land of China, where a local overseer resisted a powerful invader on its own, and the people spontaneously supported it, and the enthusiasm continued unabated. Obviously, Ge Yunfei represents the hope of the Chinese nation, which has formed such a united situation.

Yang Du was a little excited, and decided to walk to the General's Mansion, he wanted to personally feel the vigor of Jinan City. Walking out of the station, a placard is in sight. It reads: "Everyone has the responsibility to defend the territory, sprinkle all their blood on the battlefield to resist and fight the invaders, and dedicate themselves to the rise of China!" Through this pair of enthusiastic placards, Yang Du seemed to see Ge Yunfei's courage and patriotism, and even saw Ge Yunfei's iron bones. This situation shocked Yang Du's expression and walked in the direction of the General's Mansion.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ge Yunfei went to the provincial capital to pay a group visit to Governor Song Shiyuan to wish the New Year auspicious. Back at the General's Mansion, the sun was already a pole high. "Report, a guest from the capital came outside, claiming to be Yang Du asking to see him." The chief of the guard reported. Ge Yunfei was stunned when he heard this: "Let the guests come in!" On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Du came uninvited, and Ge Yunfei was deeply surprised. Standing in front of the door and watching, it was really Yang Du, Ge Yunfei hugged his fists and greeted: "Brother Yang, don't come to be harmed, and don't say hello in advance?" ”

"Brother Ge, can I come if I greet me in advance?" "Brother Yang is pretentious, aside from other factors, we are friends, and the door here is always open to you." Yang Du hugged his fists and said: "My friend is here to have good wine, and I came here to fight for a tooth sacrifice uninvited!" The two of them laughed and walked into the house. Wen Qing hurriedly went to Zhang Luo to drink and eat after seeing the ceremony, and Ge Yunfei instructed the chief of the guard to close the door today. After the guests and hosts were seated, a maid brought tea and retreated. Ge Yunfei said bluntly: "Brother Yang is not here to visit relatives and friends, what I said is not wrong!" ”

"Brother Ge, it's not a secret, the national government is facing a crisis, President Yuan Da is terminally ill, if I guess correctly, this is the situation you want to see the most." "Brother Yang, don't tell lies in front of real people, this is the result I want. In today's situation, the benefits of Yuan Shikai's death outweigh the disadvantages. "But have you ever thought about it, the pursuit of the highest power is everyone's dream. The president misjudged the situation at home and abroad, especially under the high pressure of the foreign powers, and had to make compromises. Frankly speaking, I didn't expect that Brother Ge would be able to block the powerful attack of the Japanese army, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese people. ”

"Brother Yang, I understand what you mean, once Yuan Shikai dies, the struggle for power will make the republican system uncertain. Yes, my military power is growing stronger and bigger in the war against Japan, and there is no force in the country that is my opponent. I said that everything I did was for this country, for this suffering nation. Please rest assured, Brother Yang, I have no ambitions. If a convincing person succeeds to the presidency, I will do my best to assist him. ”

Yang Du's eyes lit up when he heard this: "What I want is your words, which are easy to say, and it is difficult to chase after me, I know that you are a nationalist who believes in his word." "It seems that Brother Yang already has a strategy in his heart?" "What do you think of Duan Qirui?" "Although Duan Qirui's ability is mediocre, he has a good character. He has a background in the Beiyang military group, and he has a very good reputation, so he is suitable as an excessive president. "Brother Yang, are you willing to assist Duan Qirui in stabilizing the overall situation?" Yang Du was overjoyed when he heard this.

Ge Yunfei said indifferently: "Brother Yang, I strongly support Duan Qirui and me, but I have one condition?" "What conditions?" Yang Du was shocked when he heard this. "If Duan Qirui becomes president, I will control the military power and serve as the chief of the army, and no one can replace me!" "Haha, that's exactly what I want, the chief of the army is none other than you. Just ask, who can build an invincible army, your ability and strong military strength, no one will criticize. "Brother Yang, my purpose is to build a national defense force that has always been strong and restore the glory of my ancestors."

"Brother Ge, I can see that you have already made a plan. The war against Japan has achieved a phased victory, and the generals in charge of the army in various parts of the country have thrown themselves to the ground for the five bodies that you admire. Your appointment as Chief of the Army is a matter of great expectation. "Brother Yang, let's be honest, we have already won the first stage of victory in the war against Japan, and then I will carry out a major counteroffensive to drive the Japanese army out of the Korean Peninsula." "Brother Ge, I have fought repeatedly, and I heard that the battle losses are very large, are you sure that you will drive the Japanese army out of Shandong?" When Yang Du heard this, his emotions suddenly rose up.

"Brother Yang, at present, our army has grown to 350,000 people. The 105-mm heavy gun of the Jinan Artillery Plant has been installed. The latest fighters and bombers will soon be put into operation after the start of test flights. At present, two brigades of the Yunnan overseer Cai Ye have joined the battle group. A month later, General Cai Ye personally led three divisions to Shandong, and our troops participating in the battle would reach 400,000 at that time. The first stage of my strategic plan was to drive the Japanese army out of the Shandong Peninsula. ”

"Brother Yang, I didn't expect your military strength to reach such a terrifying level, it's incredible. After completing the first phase of the campaign plan, do you still have the second phase of the strategic plan? "The second phase of the campaign plan is for the Republic of China government to declare war on Japan, recover the Liaodong Peninsula, and completely drive the Japanese army out of China!" "So you've predicted the current situation?" Yang Du was even more shocked. "Yes, the situation is exactly according to my expectations, moving forward on the right path, and I can say without hesitation that a strong China has shown its signs!"

Hearing this, Yang Du excitedly drank the wine in his glass and said, "Brother Ge, why don't you take advantage of this to recover North Korea, Taiwan, and Ryukyu?" "That's exactly what I did in the third phase of my battle plan, which was to attack North Korea but not recover North Korea." "What do you mean, I'm a little confused!" Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "The purpose of attacking Korea is to force the Japanese government to return Taiwan and the Ryukyus. Given that Japan has a strong fleet, it is impossible for us to recapture Taiwan, the Ryukyus. But North Korea's importance to Japan is undeniable. ”

Ge Yunfei stood up and walked to the map next to the wall and said, "If our troops reach Pusan in the south of the Korean Peninsula, across the Tsushima Strait will be the Japanese mainland. My aim is to take the northern part of Korea, and if the Japanese government complies, form North and South Korea with the Han River as the boundary. If the Japanese do not give in, we will capture the Korean Peninsula and directly threaten the Japanese mainland. "Brother Ge, you just said that the Japanese army has a strong navy, how can it pose a threat to the Japanese mainland?"

Ge Yunfei said with a smile: "The future war is the world of the air force, we don't have time to build a navy, but we can build a strong air force." As soon as our fighter planes came out, they showed their talents, and we can say without shying away from saying that our fighters are in the forefront of the world in terms of various performance and combat capabilities. Future bombers could fly thousands of kilometers and cover the Japanese mainland. Just imagine, every day bombs explode on the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese archipelago will never have peace. ”

"Given the importance of the Japanese mainland, the Japanese government had to give in. The return of Taiwan and the Ryukyus is my strategic plan for the third phase. "Haha, what a big deal, the European and American powers are shackled by the European war, and they have no time to take care of the Far East, the opportunity is rare!" "I can reveal a military secret to you, our newly developed J-2 bomber, which can cover the entire Liaodong Peninsula when it takes off from Long Island. In addition, the new bombers can destroy warships, and the days of Japanese warships flaunting their might in our coastal waters are coming to an end. ”

Yang Du was too excited and drunk. Ge Yunfei didn't expect Yang Du's sudden visit to bring such a big surprise. originally thought that after Yuan Shikai's death, it would take a lot of twists and turns. It seems that the butterfly effect has blossomed and borne fruit on a large scale, and it is logical that there will be such a change. The key is that with the right time, place, and people, the second and third phases of the strategic plan can be implemented in advance, which means that it is self-evident. Therefore, Ge Yunfei did not shy away from telling the truth, the purpose was to let Yang Du step on his chariot with all his heart.

The next day, Ge Yunfei personally accompanied Yang Du and visited the major arsenals in Jinan. At present, Jinan has formed a complete military industrial system, Jinan artillery factory, light weapons factory, fighter aircraft factory. After visiting the arsenal, he also visited the Jinan Military Academy and the training camp for reserve soldiers. Subsequently, Ge Yunfei accompanied Yang Du to the front line to inspect. When Yang Du saw the criss-crossing fortifications in depth, he was simply stunned. He couldn't imagine that such a rudimentary fortification could block the frantic attack of the Japanese army.

Later, the two went to Qingdao and visited the bomber factory, truck factory, locomotive factory, textile factory, and chemical factory in Qingdao. Yang Du can be described as an eye-opener, no wonder Ge Yunfei has such confidence to start a war against the powerful Japanese army, everything in front of him is the best portrayal. From a political point of view, there is no doubt that Ge Yunfei's power can allow him to obtain the highest power. Yang Du is convinced that Ge Yunfei is right, he is a true nationalist.

10 days later, the two returned to Jinan, Shan Feng reported that there was amazing news from the capital, and Duan Qirui went out of the mountain again to serve as the army chief. Ge Yunfei and Yang Du heard this, and it was obvious that Yuan Shikai was arranging the aftermath. There is no doubt that the successor who can stabilize the overall situation is none other than Duan Qirui in Yuan Shikai's eyes. It can be said that the heroes see the same thing, Ge Yunfei and Yang Du looked at each other and smiled. The torrent of change is unstoppable, and a new era is about to begin.
