In fact, Jiang Baili had long wanted to end the meaningless quarrel with Duan Jianfu, the representative of Beiyang, and now, he didn't think that he could persuade Cai Ye to give up the powerful and nominally orthodox Beiyang, and instead side with the Wang family, which had little chance of winning. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info his personal friendship with Cai Songpo is good, but in this kind of matter involving the life and death of the Yunnan army, Cai Yi, as the overseer of Yunnan, will inevitably not be affected by his personal friendship.

It's just that since Jiang Baili agreed to Wang Mo to come as a lobbyist, he naturally won't give up halfway, and he can only go down with Duan Jianfu, at least to ensure that the Dian army will not fall to Beiyang.

Therefore, after learning from the secret service officers that Wang Mo had rushed back to Sichuan and was ready to negotiate with Cai Ye in person, Jiang Baili couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Putting down the burden, Jiang Baili, who suddenly felt relaxed, smiled slightly, got up from his seat, and said to Cai Yi: "Brother Songpo, just now the people from the Secret Service Department informed me that Wang Shaoshuai has rushed back to Sichuan, and asked me to convey to you that Wang Shaoshuai hopes to meet you as soon as possible." ”

"Oh?" Cai Ye was quite surprised by this news, couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand, and said with some doubts, "The Beiyang Army has begun to assemble on a large scale, and it is possible to send troops south at any time. ”

Different from Cai Yi's doubts, Duan Jianfu was overjoyed when he heard this, the big battle was imminent, Wang Mo stupidly left the troops and ran back to Sichuan in person. Isn't this a great opportunity for the Beiyang Army to take advantage of the leaderless southern coalition forces to raid southward and lay the foundation for victory in one fell swoop?

Just when Duan Jianfu was pondering how to leave quietly, and then used a telegram to transmit this important news back to Beijing, so that the president could seize the fighter plane and start the war quickly, Jiang Baili seemed to know what Duan Jianfu was thinking, smiled, and said: "Brother Songpo may not have imagined that Wang Shaoshuai flew back to Sichuan in a fighter plane this time, and it only took less than half a day. ”

Duan Jianfu was stunned for a moment, and muttered unconsciously to himself: "Fly...... Flying back to Sichuan? ”

Although after the birth of the Air Force, he also paid more attention to the application of aircraft in military and other aspects, but he really didn't expect that the aircraft could be used like this.

sighed in his heart, Cai Ye immediately said: "Since it is Wang Shaoshuai who is here, I will wait for it." Brother Fang Zhen, please tell Shaomarshal Wang that my Yunnan Province welcomes Shaomarshal Wang to come as a guest at any time. ”

At such a critical moment, Wang Mo, the supreme commander of the Southern Coalition Army, put down the matter of arming and fighting and personally rushed over to talk with Cai Yi, which shows the importance that the Wang family attaches to the Dian army.

Duan Jianfu suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately said: "Cai Dudu, please think twice, President Yuan must be unhappy to see that Cai Dudu and Wang Mo are so close to each other. ”

Jiang Baili did not hesitate to sneer at each other: "Oh? According to Mr. Duan's meaning, who does Brother Songpa want to meet, and he still needs to get the approval of President Yuan? ”

Feeling Cai Yi's somewhat cold gaze, Duan Jianfu denied in a little panic: "When ...... Of course not! ”

"Then please ask Mr. Duan to be cautious, so as not to misunderstand Brother Songpo." Jiang Baili smiled slightly, and then turned to Cai Ye and continued, "Brother Songpo, what Wang Shaoshuai means is that I hope to meet you in the border between northwest Yunnan and southern Sichuan, in the area of Yongren County. ”

Hearing this, Cai Ye was quite puzzled, Wang Mo wanted to see him, just come to Kunming, why did he go to Yongren's remote small county town, is it possible to worry that he will be a killer?

Duan Jianfu was not slow to react, and immediately sneered: "Wang Mo wanted to see Cai Dudu, but he didn't even come to Kunming, and he actually asked Cai Dudu to go to Yongren to see him, there is no sincerity at all." ”

Speaking of this, Duan Jianfu turned to persuade Cai Ye and said: "Cai Dudu, for such a sincere person, there is no need to pay attention. From the point of view, Wang Shaoshuai made such an unreasonable request, either because he was worried that Cai Dudu would be unfavorable to you, or because he wanted to be unfavorable to you. ”

Although Cai Ye didn't believe that Wang Mo really thought so, not believing it didn't mean that there was no such possibility, which made him hesitate to go to Yongren County to meet Wang Mo.

Seeing the hesitation in Cai Yi's expression, Duan Jianfu felt quite proud in his heart. Of course, he knew that Wang Mo would not be stupid enough to be unfavorable to Cai Ye at such a time, but he didn't care whether this kind of thing was possible or not, as long as he could make Cai Ye hesitate and disrupt their meeting, it would naturally be a great achievement.

Faced with such a situation, Jiang Baili didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but watched from the sidelines as if he was enjoying Duan Jianfu's performance, and only after Duan Jianfu finished speaking did he say with a smile: "Mr. Duan is indeed eloquent, but I have to defend Wang Shaoshuai." Wang Shaomarshal said that the main reason why he wanted to invite Brother Songpo to meet in Yongren County was that he had prepared a big gift for Brother Songpo and that it would be convenient for him to hand over there. ”

"A big gift? Excuse it, what a big gift, I won't send ......" Duan Jianfu sneered.

"Three divisions, enough to arm the weapons and ammunition of three integrated divisions!" Jiang Baili interjected.

Duan Jianfu's words stopped abruptly, his mouth was slightly open, he couldn't close it, and he couldn't say any more.

Even Cai Ye had to be amazed by Wang Mo's generosity, the weapons and ammunition of the three integrated divisions, at this moment, he really felt Wang Mo's full sincerity and determination to win the Yunnan army.

"No merit is not rewarded, such a big gift, but it is difficult for me Cai to accept it." Cai Yi shook his head slightly, his expression solemn. Although he also wanted to accept this batch of weapons and ammunition to enhance the strength of the Dian army, he didn't want to let the Dian army work for the Wang family because of this thing.

Cai Yi's statement made Duan Jianfu happy, and said with a smile: "What Cai Dudu said is very true, if the Yunnan army needs weapons and ammunition, I believe that the central government will not hesitate to allocate supplements. ”

"Brother Songpo, whether you accept these weapons and ammunition or not, you can negotiate with Young Marshal Wang at that time. However, Wang Shaoshuai invited you to Yongren County for a meeting, not only because of weapons and ammunition, but also because of the weapons and ammunition, he also said that in order to fight with Beiyang, the special combat team has prepared some new things, and I would like to ask you to teach you a lesson or two. Jiang Baili said.

Before Cai Ye could say anything, Duan Jianfu snorted coldly and said, "So it's mysterious!" ”

In Duan Jianfu's view, the great thing is that Wang Mo has prepared a new weapon, and it is said that Wang Mo has an extremely secret arms import channel. However, in this kind of general war involving hundreds of thousands of troops, one or two new weapons may be of some use, but they are definitely not the key to determining the outcome of the war.

"Oh? Special Combat Team? I've heard of the many legendary achievements of the special combat team under the command of Wang Shaoshuai, is there any new weapon or new tactic? Cai Ye was quite interested in this, after all, he had heard of the mystery and strength of the special combat team under Wang Mo's command. Moreover, who is Wang Mo, he is the person who made the aircraft shine on the battlefield, made the Air Force a new independent service, and truly went down in the world's military history.

The new things tossed by such people are naturally worth looking forward to.

"I don't know about this, but since Wang Mo rushed back to Sichuan in person for this reason, I think most likely he will not disappoint you, Brother Songpo." Jiang Baili said.

Cai Yi groaned for a long time, and then said: "It's okay, this way, Brother Fang Zhen, you convey it to Young Marshal Wang for me, I will make a little preparation, and in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, I will wait for Young Marshal Wang in Yongren County." ”

"Cai Dudu......" Duan Jianfu looked anxious and wanted to say something.

Cai Yi waved his hand, and said without waiting for Duan Jianfu's words to speak: "Mr. Duan doesn't need to say much, I just went to see Wang Shaoshuai, and it doesn't mean that my Yunnan army will support the autonomous government of the Southern United Provinces!" ”

Cai Yi's decision was made, and Duan Jianfu did not have a choice, so he finally had to leave the Overseer's Mansion in despair.

Although Cai Ye didn't think that Wang Mo would be stupid enough to be unfavorable to him at such a time, the preparations that should be made still had to be made. Soon after, Cai Ye gathered the guard team, and at the same time sent a reconnaissance team to Yongren County to find out the surrounding situation.

......

Two days later, a small valley on the outskirts of Yongren County.

Although they had been mentally prepared, Cai Ye and his officers and generals were completely dumbfounded when they looked at the weapons and ammunition piled up throughout the small valley.

With tens of thousands of bright rifles, boxes of yellow, orange and orange bullets piled up, light and heavy machine guns neatly erected, and artillery pieces emitting a terrifying cold light, these huge number of murderous weapons had a great visual impact and shocked everyone.

The Yunnan officers and soldiers around Cai Ye were all shocked, although they had heard that the young marshal Wang of the Sichuan army was going to send them weapons and ammunition for three divisions, but in their imagination, most of them were just some rifles and bullets mixed with old and new.

It is not to blame for their lack of imagination, but that their perception is truly in line with the general situation of the Chinese army in this era. Local miscellaneous troops, such as the Guizhou army, the Hunan army, the Gui army, and the Guangdong army, even the Yunnan army, which relied on the huge profits of Yuntu and had a large amount of military spending, could not achieve a single gun per person, especially a brand-new standard rifle like this.

As for weapons of mass destruction, such as light and heavy machine guns and artillery, only elite troops can be equipped with a small amount.

Looking at the dozens of cannons neatly arranged in a row, exuding a metallic luster and glittering in the sun, it is not difficult to understand how big and heavy this gift is.

The officers and soldiers of Yunnan were a little short of breath, and they really wanted to move all these good guys back immediately.

Cai Yi sighed slightly, and said to Wang Mo on the side: "Young marshal, this etiquette is too heavy, I said it before, no merit will not be punished......"

Wang Mo smiled slightly: "Governor Cai, please rest assured, this is just a welcome gift to show the sincerity of my Southern Associated Provincial Autonomous Government, and it will not make any demands because of this, even if Governor Cai chooses to support the central government in the end, it will not matter." ”

This was said very atmosphericly, and the surrounding Yunnan officers and soldiers all showed joy and excitement when they heard the words, if it weren't for Cai Yi's presence, I'm afraid they would have been busy thanking Wang Mo for being a good man with a lot of money and stupidity.

"Having said that, but ......." Cai Ye obviously still didn't want to accept such a big benefit from Wang Mo for nothing.

Wang Mo didn't wait for Cai Ye to finish refusing to finish speaking, so he preemptively said: "Regarding these weapons and ammunition, you might as well talk about it later." The special combat team under the junior has recently studied a new tactic, I wonder if I can ask Cai Dudu to teach me a lesson or two? ”

Cai Ye didn't understand why Wang Mo was so confident, as if he thought that this new tactic could persuade him to support the Wang family, but he still nodded.

So, Wang Mo turned around and made a gesture towards the distant mountain, and then a soldier stood up and waved the red flag in his hand and waved the flag.

After a while, there was a sudden buzzing sound in the sky, getting louder and closer.

Cai Ye and a group of Yunnan officers and soldiers all looked up, and soon after, they seemed to see something incredible, and their expressions were shocked.

"This ...... What kind of troops is this? Cai Yi lost his voice in shock. (To be continued.) )
