Chapter 258: Mr. Sun's Restless Heart (Part I)
Beijing, Iron Lion Hutong, Presidential Palace.
Because of the advent of the war, it once again became the center of the whole of North China. Almost from morning to night, there are constantly military officers or government officials coming in and out, either reporting the situation or delivering orders, and they seem to be extremely busy.
The "Di Di" telegraph was constantly working in the ears, constantly receiving information from all parts of the front, and at the same time sending Yuan Shikai's orders from here to all the troops on the front.
Yuan Shikai's face was pale, and he reconfirmed in a rather unkind tone: "Why, is the son still refusing to come to see the old man under the pretext of recuperation?" β
"This ...... He is a southerner, and the weather has turned cold recently, so he has inevitably suffered from some wind chills, and he has indeed been sick in bed for some days. Chen Eun replied cautiously, of course he knew in his heart what the truth was, but some truths should not be said, otherwise it would only add fuel to the fire.
Chen Eun is a kind-hearted person who tactfully eases Yuan Shikai's anger, but Yang Shiqi has no scruples.
Since ancient times, literati have been inferior to each other, and there is no lack of competition and confrontation between staff and staff, and Yang Shiqi has always been a bit of a rival with Yang Du. Now that this is a great opportunity, how can he not fall into the ground.
"Suffering a little bit of cold, is it so sick that you can't come to see the president?" Yang Shiqi reprimanded coldly, "I think he just held on to the customs affairs at the beginning, and he didn't understand the president's distress at all." Even if he can't understand the bitterness of the president, at this time of Beiyang's life and death, he actually picks on his son, does he still take our Beiyang to heart, does he put the president in his heart? β
Yang Shiqi's words seemed to be righteous and awe-inspiring, as if he was focusing on the overall situation, but in fact, he was ruthlessly picking up the scars in Yuan Shikai's heart, causing Yuan Shikai's heart to further deepen the mustard against Yang Du.
This kind of bloodless yin knife that kills people without seeing blood is what Yang Shiqi is best at, and with his understanding of Yuan Shikai, how to say the way of nature can deepen Yuan Shikai's disappointment and even disgust with Yang Du to the greatest extent.
Sure enough, Yuan Shikai's already iron-blue face became even darker, but he was so angry that he didn't explode, and said in a deep voice: "Since Yezi is really sick, let him recuperate with peace of mind." I asked you to come over this time just to discuss how to deal with the almost annihilation of the Black Hawk Flying Group. We have to think of a proper way to deal with the threat of the Blue Eagle Flying Group. β
Yang Shiqi and Chen Eun's expressions were extremely solemn, the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade was indeed too ferocious, and the Black Eagle Flying Brigade they had high hopes for was beaten down in the first battle.
The right way?
In the face of such a ferocious opponent, what is the right thing to talk about?
After pondering for a while, Yang Shiqi shook his head and said: "The Blue Eagle Flying Group is now sharp, and even the foreign pilots have been easily defeated by them, so we will reorganize a new Black Eagle Flying Group, and I am afraid it will be difficult to compete with it." President, I suggest that you avoid its edge for the time being, after all, no matter how powerful the air force is, it will not be able to decide the outcome of the war. β
"President, I think what Xingcheng said is very true!" Chen Yan immediately agreed, "As far as I know, the range of the most advanced aircraft of the Blue Eagle Flying Group is no more than 200 kilometers, as long as we make arrangements for this, I believe that the damage caused by the Blue Eagle Flying Group to our army will be weakened to the greatest extent." β
This is still very reasonable, due to the limitation of the flight range, the Blue Eagle Flying Group at most provides a certain amount of fire support to the front-line troops. Especially in this war, there are as many as three battlefields, and no matter how powerful the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade is, it is inevitable that one will lose sight of the other.
Yuan Shikai nodded, and the worry in his heart decreased slightly.
Yang Shiqi thought for a while, and then suggested: "President, it is better to secretly transfer the remaining bombers of our army and those flight cadets trained by the British foreigners to the Western Front, or it may have unexpected results." β
Although the Black Hawk Flying Group that went to the Shandong battlefield to participate in the battle was completely wiped out, more than 30 bombers from the airfield outside Beijing were not spared before they could be sent to the Shandong battlefield, and the Chinese pilots trained by British flight instructors did not participate in the battle this time.
Therefore, the Black Hawk Flying Brigade is actually not completely annihilated, and still retains a certain combat power.
"That's right, air strike!" Chen Yan said excitedly, "Just like the Blue Eagle Flying Group did against the British and Japanese coalition forces in the first place, using a large group of bombers to carry out air strikes!" β
Since the birth of the Blue Eagle Flying Group, all sides have never stopped studying its tactical tactics, and the use of a large bomber group to carry out air strikes, which is naturally the most convenient trick used by the Blue Eagle Flying Group, is naturally widely known.
Yuan Shikai's eyes couldn't help but light up, this is indeed a good idea, to avoid the unstoppable Blue Eagle Flying Brigade on the Shandong battlefield, and instead throw the remaining bombers on the Wusheng Pass side of the Western Front, which will inevitably help the Western Route Army quickly break through the Wusheng Pass, and add a few more chances for Beiyang to win this war.
"Okay, that's how this matter will be done, Er'an you are fully responsible, and the remaining personnel and materials of the Black Eagle Flying Brigade are all at your disposal......" Speaking of this, Yuan Shikai hesitated slightly, and finally said, "If there is still a need, you can report to me at any time, and I will try my best to replenish you." β
Yuan Shikai is also a heroic hero with courage after all, since he has decided, then he will definitely not spare his blood.
Chen Eun solemnly responded to the order: "Yes, if you accept the order from your humble position, you will live up to the expectations of the president!" β
......
Japan, Tokyo, Yama Prefecture has a tomo official residence.
In the tea room, Youpeng of Shan County knelt in front of the coffee table, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his right hand and sipping it gently, holding a Japanese Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper in his left hand and reading it, I don't know whether to sigh or say vigilantly: "It is really powerful, the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade was able to almost completely annihilate the Black Eagle Flying Brigade formed by the assistance of the great powers of various countries in Beiyang, which is really much beyond our expectations." As far as the Air Force is concerned, the Blue Eagle Flying Group is indeed a world powerhouse. β
Kneeling on the opposite side of the temple, Zhengyi was not as good as Yama County Youpeng's qi cultivation kung fu, he raised his head like a cow chewing a peony and drank the fragrant tea in the cup, and said angrily with red eyes: "No, the empire must not allow that despicable and shameless warlord of China to continue to be arrogant like this, otherwise he will inevitably become the biggest enemy of the empire to conquer China!" β
After the Battle of Qingdao, Terauchi Masashi could not forget for a moment the shame of being defeated by Wang Mo. As long as he thought of Wang Mo, he couldn't wait to peel his skin and cramp, and torture him to death with all kinds of torture he could think of.
Shan County Youpeng sighed secretly in his heart, not that he would become, but that he was already the biggest enemy of the empire's conquest of China.
At this moment, the guards outside the tea room reported that Mr. Mitsuru Touyama of the Black Dragon Society had come to visit by appointment.
Not long after, an old man of about sixty years old, with a long beard, white beard, and black round-framed eyes, walked slowly into the tea room.
After a salute, the three of them knelt down again.
Whether it is background, power, qualifications, or even age, there are undoubtedly friends in Shan County who are above Toushanman, so naturally there is no need to be polite, so he just smiled slightly, and asked straight to the point: "Toushan Manjun, I don't know how your guest is, how is Mr. Sun doing?" β
"Him?" Tou Shanman snorted coldly with disdain and said, "What else, isn't it just tossing his 'Chinese Revolutionary Party' every day, or constantly asking me to lobby the top of the empire, hoping that the empire will strongly support him and help him return to China to regain the presidency." β
In the face of being the duke of the empire and the head of the Shanshan faction, Tou Shanman still did not change his true colors, and did not reveal the humility and courtesy of the commoners in the face of the nobles.
You must know that in Japan in this era, the privileges of the nobility are still very large, even the surname is the privilege of the nobility, most of the serious surnames are the nobles handed down from the shogunate period, and ordinary civilians have no surname, only a name.
However, surprisingly, Yama Prefecture Yutomo and Terauchi Masashi didn't seem to care about Toyama Man's attitude, and even took it for granted, and even Terauchi Masayi, who had always had a hot temper, didn't have a seizure.
"So, that Mr. Sun is still ambitious?" Yama County Youpeng smiled meaningfully.
"Ambition?" The disdain on Toushan's face was even more victorious, and he said coldly, "At best, he is a politician who can only shout slogans and encourage young people to die, but he has never understood that it is impossible to build a strong country without experiencing the baptism of blood and fire." β
It is hard to imagine that the words spoken by such an elegant and kind old man could be so full of iron.
In fact, it is not surprising that although Toyama is only a civilian, he has 60,000 dead people who are willing to go to the trouble for him, and he even dares to send someone to assassinate Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu.
Toyama was not only an extreme nationalist, but also a fanatical militarist, and many of the leading figures of the Japanese invasion of China, such as Seishiro Itagaki, Kenji Dohihara, and Hiroki Hirota, were his protΓ©gΓ©s, and the right-wing groups formed during World War II were more of his followers.
In this regard, Toushan Man and Shan County have friends who can be regarded as like-minded, so there is this meeting.
"But it can't be said that Mr. Sun was the first president of the Republic of China after all, and he still has the ability and influence." Youpeng in Shanxian still had a shallow smile on his face, and he didn't seem to have the slightest contempt for Sun Yat-sen, but only appreciated and valued it.
The straight man of the temple Zhengyi did not hide his dislike for Sun Yat-sen at all, and scolded with a "bah": "What is the first president, this guy is even more shameless than Wang Mo's little bastard, Wang Mo's little bastard is fought by the army and strength, what else does he have besides a mouth?" When he was president, it was the presidential system, and after he had to give up the position of president, it became the prime minister system, and this shameless person should be let die! β
It is true that Zhengyi in the temple hates Wang Mo, but in comparison, he despises Sun Yat-sen, a powerless and shameless politician.
However, Yama Youpeng and Toushan Man are just the opposite, they prefer this kind of Chinese politicians who only care about their own interests and have no bottom line and principles. Only such a person dared to cooperate with the Great Japanese Empire in the face of the great condemnation of the world, and became the excuse and reason for the Great Japanese Empire to conquer China.
