Chapter 242: Prepare for War! Prepare for battle! (below)
The intelligence officers of the Secret Service Department arrived one after another, not to mention Wang Mo, even the guards of the munitions depot and Liu Jingcheng seemed to smell the smell of gunpowder in the air. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
If it weren't for the sudden tension of the situation and the imminent outbreak of a major war, the Secret Service Division would not have sent urgent information in such a continuous manner.
The blue wolf went over again to get the information, glanced at it, and handed the information to Wang Mo with a somewhat solemn expression.
Wang Mo took it, looked at the second piece of information, his eyes were sharp, he didn't hesitate for too long, and immediately said to Liu Jingcheng: "Uncle, I just received the information, the Beiyang Army has made a big move, I have to organize all the departments of the Southern Alliance Army to deal with it, I'm afraid I don't have time to deal with your affairs personally, I'm really sorry!" ”
"What a family says about two families, resisting the Beiyang Army is a top priority." Liu Jingcheng said very understandingly, for him, as long as the power of the Wang family in China does not fall, even if there are changes in Nanyang in the future, he and the Liu family can rely on it, and they will not be as panicked as other Nanyang Chinese.
Wang Mo thought for a while, and then instructed the blue wolf: "In this way, the affairs of Nanyang will be in charge of the special service department. ”
"Yes, I understand!" The blue wolf replied.
After a few hurried words, Wang Mo did not delay any longer, turned around and walked towards the outside of the arms warehouse.
When he walked out of the door of the munitions warehouse, Wang Mo immediately ordered: "Heralds, immediately urgently order all the departments in the southern provinces to stop training and assemble on standby!" ”
"Yes!" Immediately, a herald with him went out to answer the order.
"Erhu, you are now personally rushing to the senior officer training course in the west of the city, passing on my order, ending the teaching of the senior officer training class, and the officers and generals of all departments are on standby at any time!" Wang Mo ordered Wang Erhu who was following him again.
The so-called training class for senior officers is actually nothing more than Wang Mo's disguised detention of senior officers and generals in Nanjing in a name acceptable to everyone in order to ensure the smooth progress of the rotational training and reorganization of various units in the south these days.
"Yes!" Wang Erhu also immediately obeyed the order.
While giving the order, Wang Mo walked quickly to the horse that the guards had prepared for him, and jumped on the horse.
Whip a wave!
The horse's hooves are raised, and they gallop out like arrows off the string!
Several guards on horseback hurriedly followed, followed by the rest of the escorts on foot, following at a gallop, with the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps rushing as they passed.
"Who is this, don't you want to die, dare to ride a horse in the city so rampage!"
The movement of Wang Mo and his entourage quickly attracted the attention and surprise of the people along the road, and they had to discuss and gossip with each other.
"These people are just looking for death, but I heard that the marshal arranged the gendarmerie as soon as he entered the city, and he was very ruthless to clean up some troublemakers."
"You are stupid, you didn't see their uniforms, don't you know that they are the Sichuan army? Whoever the handsome disposes of, he will never dispose of his own descendants. ”
"What's wrong with the Sichuan army, it's not that the Sichuan army that didn't make trouble before was punished by the military."
"Are they all blind, don't you see that the one who is riding a horse at the head is the young marshal? This matter is naturally a violation of military law on the big head soldier, but it is a fart for the young marshal! ”
"Oh, that's right, the first one is really a young marshal, I was fortunate to see the young marshal at the Shimonoseki dock before. That's right, that's the young marshal! ”
"There is no point in you arguing about this, I only know that if you can make the young marshal in such a hurry, something big will happen, maybe the Beiyang Army will go south. Hey, there is no such thing as a peaceful day in this world......"
I don't know who sighed and said this, and the argument suddenly stopped abruptly, but the people who were still excited to discuss it just now were silent.
......
"In modern warfare, the strength of firepower output is one of the key factors that determine the outcome of a war.
Alto, the famous Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Prussia in the West, is known as the "Iron Prime Minister". Feng. Bismarck once said that truth is only within the range of a cannon!
It can be seen from this that in modern warfare, the output of firepower, especially the output of artillery fire, is very important! ”
In the classroom, the sound of Zhang Xiaohuai, the chief supervisor of the senior officer training class, giving a lecture in a suppressed and frustrated manner.
Under the podium, a large group of officers and generals listened to Zhang Xiaohuai's lecture boredly, although they did not dare to make any small moves to cause Zhang Xiaohuai, a celebrity in the Sichuan army, to be disgusted, but the vast majority of them drooped their heads listlessly.
In this regard, Zhang Xiaohuai on the podium is naturally clear, but he doesn't care much about it. Originally, the training course for senior officers was only for the smooth progress of the rectification and training work of various provinces and units, and these former KMT officers had more or less received a new-style military education, and they would not be much unsuitable for the combat methods under the Sichuan military system.
While he was lecturing, Wang Erhu broke into the classroom extremely abruptly, saluted Zhang Xiaohuai, and then said loudly: "Chief of Staff, the young marshal has an order, the training class for senior officers will be closed immediately, and everyone will be on call at any time!" ”
Before Zhang Xiaohuai could say anything, the officers below "buzzed" and began to talk about it.
"Great, this boring and boring day is finally fucking over!"
"If the training course for senior officers is closed now, has the reorganization and rotation training of the various departments been completed?"
"Impossible! Where is it so fast, although it is not a new army formed, but if the troops in the provinces want to have the combat effectiveness to fight a hard battle with the Beiyang Army, they have to work hard for half a year! ”
"That's what I'm saying, besides, if the Wang family wants to install people to control the troops in the provinces, shouldn't they waste time and effort?"
"Since the training course for senior officers has been closed, do you say, will the Wang family let us return to the army?"
"This ...... I think it's probably ......"
......
"Closing the Senior Officer Training Course?" Zhang Xiaohuai looked at Wang Erhu very puzzled, and asked again, "Does the young marshal have anything else to explain?" ”
Wang Erhu glanced at the officers at all levels in the classroom and replied: "The young marshal has telegraphed the troops of all provinces to end the training and assemble on standby, and the young marshal has asked all the officers in the senior officer training course to be ready to lead their troops to fight at any time. ”
Hearing Wang Erhu's words, the officers and generals in the classroom suddenly made another commotion.
"Be ready to lead your troops into battle at any time? Could it be that the Beiyang Army went south? ”
"It won't be so fast, will it? I heard that the Beiyang Army is also currently expanding and reorganizing training on a large scale, and it will take a while to form combat effectiveness, so how can it go south so quickly? ”
"I think it should be the Beiyang Army going south, haven't you heard, recently, the southern provinces have vigorously squeezed out and suppressed foreign goods, and the foreigners are about to jump to their feet, most likely because the foreigners forced the Beiyang to go south in advance."
"Yes, Brother Xuyan's words are reasonable, it must be that the Beiyang Army is going south, otherwise the Wang family would not have reacted so much."
"If it's true that the Beiyang Army went south, then ...... So what about the rest of us? ”
When it came to this issue, a group of former KMT officers could not help but quietly turn their attention to Li Liejun, Xiong Bingkun, Xu Chongzhi, and other former KMT senior officers.
Li Liejun, Xiong Bingkun, Xu Chongzhi and others looked at each other, with only bitterness and helplessness on their faces, and in the end, they didn't say a word. Their current identities are embarrassing, although they have surrendered and have not been relieved of their military positions, Wang Mo has isolated them from the army. How Wang Mo will deal with them in the end has not been clearly stated, and in this case, they can only choose silence is gold.
Moreover, even if they have any ideas, now that the provincial troops have been reorganized and rotated, not to mention that they are absolutely controlled by Wang Mo, it is definitely not that they can do whatever they want.
Zhang Xiaohuai did not need to speculate at all about the closure of the training class for senior officers, the cessation of the reorganization and rotation training of the troops in various provinces, and the assembly of troops.
Zhang Xiaohuai didn't pay any attention to the officers and generals who were whispering below, put away the lesson plan on the lectern, and then hurriedly walked outside the classroom, and at the same time asked Wang Erhu, "Where is the young marshal now?" ”
"The young marshal is rushing back to the house." Wang Erhu replied.
After Zhang Xiaohuaihe and Wang Erhu walked out of the classroom one after another, the discussion of the officers and generals in the classroom was even more boiling.
......
After Wang Mo hurried back to the palace, he immediately went to see Wang Haoshan.
Wang Haoshan, who was discussing with Zhang Li, Ge Changchun and other old men of the Sichuan army in the study, was very surprised to see Wang Mo who hurried back, and couldn't help interrupting the conversation, and asked Wang Mo: "Mo'er, didn't you accompany your uncle to the ordnance warehouse to buy arms, why did you come back so soon?" ”
"Father, I just received urgent information from the Secret Service Division, and this morning, all departments of the Beiyang Army began to assemble on a large scale!" Wang Mo handed over the information to Wang Haoshan.
"What! The various units of the Beiyang Army began to assemble on a large scale! ”
Wang Haoshan, Ge Changchun, Zhang Li and others suddenly changed their expressions, and they all knew very well what this meant.
Wang Haoshan took the information from Wang Mo's hand, and after reading it, he handed it to Ge Changchun and Zhang Li next to him with a solemn expression.
"So, the Beiyang Army will soon go south and start a war with us?" Zhang Li, who read the information, said.
"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, didn't you get information a while ago, and the Beiyang Army is also in the process of large-scale expansion and training? The operational staff officers in our division also calculated that the Beiyang Army would not be able to move south in a big way until the next year at the earliest. Ge Changchun frowned and said with a hint of doubt.
Sensing the meaning of inquiry in the eyes of several people, Wang Mo explained: "The specific reason why the Beiyang Army went south ahead of schedule is not certain, but according to the intelligence of the Secret Service Division, it is likely that Western countries put pressure on Yuan Shikai. ”
Wang Haoshan snorted coldly and scolded: "Those **** foreign devils are his mother's obstacles!" ”
"Father, it doesn't matter why the Beiyang Army is moving south in advance. It is imperative that we be ready to face the battle. Wang Mo said in a deep voice, "When I received the information, I had already ordered the troops in all provinces to stop training and assemble on standby. ”
In terms of military affairs, Wang Haoshan had already been handed over to Wang Mo to be fully responsible, and at this time, he naturally said without hesitation: "Huang'er, you are right, the armament of the war is important, and how to cooperate with the autonomous government, you can just say it." ”
Wang Mo was not polite, and immediately said: "Medicine, food and other materials must be mobilized as soon as possible, and it is troublesome for my father to organize the people's labor in the name of the autonomous government to solve the logistics and transportation problems of the troops." ”
"No problem!"
"In the past few days, my father has presided over all aspects of the preparations, and I will rush back to Sichuan now, and as for the issue of military deployment, I will talk about it when I come back."
As soon as Wang Mo's words fell, Wang Haoshan, Zhang Li and Ge Changchun's faces changed greatly.
"What!"
"Young Marshal, are you going back to Sichuan now?" (To be continued.) )
