"You want to take Hubei?" Zhang Xiaohuai's face was ugly, although he had long thought that there would be such a day, but it was still so difficult to accept when it came to the end.

"It is not to seek to seize Hubei, but to let Hubei join the autonomous government of the southern provinces and make concerted efforts to rebuild a democratic republic!" Yang Shukan corrected Zhang Xiaohuai's statement very justly and awe-inspiringly.

No matter how high-sounding they are, they cannot hide their shameful act of provoking a civil war for power.

"If you provoke a civil war with the Sichuan army at this time, aren't you afraid of being profited by the Beiyang army?" Zhang Xiaohuai asked sharply.

It seems that Zhang Xiaohuai has long expected this question, and Yang Shukan replied in a good time: "Don't worry, Brother Runnong, the southern provinces are already actively reorganizing their armaments. If we can get Hubei to join the autonomous government of the southern provinces and take out the guns and ammunition from the Hanyang Arsenal to arm the armies of the provinces, our strength will inevitably increase greatly, and the day of victory in the Northern Expedition can be expected! ”

In the final analysis, he not only wanted to seize Hubei, but also took a fancy to the weapons and equipment of the Hanyang Arsenal.

For the Kuomintang princes who made such a decision, Zhang Xiaohuai had never been so disappointed as at this moment, and his face became more and more ugly and asked: "You came to me to ask me to plot against the three divisions of the Hubei Army?" ”

"Brother Runnong is the chief of the general staff of the Hubei Army, and the officers at all levels in the army are basically students trained by you in the military academy, so it is not difficult to mobilize them to contribute to the great cause of democracy and the republic, right?" Yang Shukan smiled slightly, in his opinion, Zhang Xiaohuai is a former member of the League after all, and he should stand on the side of the Kuomintang without hesitation.

However, Zhang Xiaohuai's answer was very unexpected by Yang Shukan, and even made him unbelievable.

I saw Zhang Xiaohuai shake his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't do anything about plotting against the Hubei Army." ”

Yang Shukan was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Brother Runnong, why are you doing this?" ”

"If someone treats me as a countryman, I will repay him as a countryman!" Zhang Xiaohuai replied in a deep voice, "Wang Mo trusts me so much. entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and even completely entrusted the power of the Hubei Army to me. If I am ungrateful and oppose the Hubei Army, then am I worthy of Wang Mo and my conscience? ”

"Brother Runnon. Indeed, Wang Mo is good to you, but he has already been assassinated, so why should you bother with this. Now that the Sichuan army is in control of Wang Haoshan, the warlord leader, are you willing to serve an independent warlord? And hinder the KMT's public promotion of a democratic republic? Yang Shukan persuaded bitterly.

From the formation to the formation of combat effectiveness, almost all of the three divisions of the Hubei Army were handled by Zhang Xiaohuai. Therefore, if you want to rebel against the Hubei army, it is very important to be able to obtain Zhang Xiaohuai's support, otherwise Yang Shukan will not find Zhang Xiaohuai as soon as he comes to Hubei.

Zhang Xiaohuai glanced at Yang Shukan, who was full of anticipation and eagerness, still shook his head, and said, "It's useless, Brother Yang, even if I am willing to support you, there is absolutely no possibility of opposing the Hubei Army." Because of the three divisions of the Hubei Army. There are a large number of Sichuan officers, and there may even be rumored shadows planted by the secret service department among the lower-level soldiers. Once there is any change in the Hubei army, the Sichuan officers who are loyal to the Sichuan army will definitely suppress it as soon as possible. ”

"What, it's true?" Yang Shu looked at Zhang Xiaohuai suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Runnong, this shouldn't be your excuse, right?" ”

"Whether it's true or not, you let people find out." Zhang Xiaohuai glanced at Yang Shukan and did not continue to argue.

Since Zhang Xiaohuai said so, the Bacheng Sichuan army really mixed sand into the Hubei army. Yang Shu Kanton felt that it was doubly difficult to oppose the Hubei army.

Despite this, Yang Shukan still did not give up fighting for Zhang Xiaohuai, and said: "Brother Runnong, even if you can't rebel against the Hubei Army. But with your prestige in the Hubei army, it is still possible to make the Hubei army chaotic, completely paralyzed and lose its combat effectiveness, right? ”

Zhang Xiaohuai resolutely refused: "I repeat, don't waste your efforts on me, I will definitely not do anything that is not conducive to the Sichuan army." Remembering the love of the past. What you want to do, I just don't see it, and whether it works out or not is your business. ”

Yang Shukan's face sank, and he asked: "Brother Runnong, do you really give up the concept of democracy and republic, and are willing to be the eagle dogs under the dictatorship?" ”

Zhang Xiaohuai was still unmoved, but said: "You want to do something to Hubei, most likely because you saw Wang Mo assassinated, and you think there is an opportunity, right?" However, I remind you that Wang Mo may still be alive. ”

Wang Mo may still be alive, this is Zhang Xiaohuai's faint guess based on various sources.

The first suspicious thing is that the marshal of the Sichuan army was furious because of the assassination of his son, and led the elite of the two divisions of the Sichuan army into Hubei, turning the whole Hubei upside down, but it didn't take long for him to quickly calm down and lead his troops back to Sichuan, as if nothing had happened.

Secondly, and most suspiciously, a large number of officers and technical soldiers at all levels have been transferred to Sichuan on the Hubei side recently, and then there is no news. The two regimental commanders of the Second Division of the Sichuan Army may not have appeared for a long time, and even appointed a new acting regimental commander. There are all kinds of indications that the Sichuan side is secretly carrying out a huge military plan, and the person in charge of this plan is likely to be Wang Mo.

The reason why Yang Shukan was reminded was because Zhang Xiaohuai did not want to see the Kuomintang princes provoke a civil war and let the Beiyang Army fishermen benefit in vain.

Hearing Zhang Xiaohuai say that Wang Mo might still be alive, Yang Shukan stood up on the spot and shouted in shock: "What, Wang Mo is still alive?" ”

If Wang Mo is still alive, with Wang Mo's prestige in Hubei, no matter what actions and plans the Kuomintang has, it will be in vain.

However, without waiting for Zhang Xiaohuai to further affirm, Yang Shukan seemed to have thought of something, and laughed silently: "Brother Runnong, you are really good, in order to dispel our idea of fighting for Hubei, you actually fabricated such absurd and nonsensical news. ”

Thought it was a fabrication from him?

Zhang Xiaohuai said again with some helplessness: "Believe it or not, I didn't lie to you anyway, Wang Mo may really be alive." ”

"Since you said that Wang Mo is still alive, where is he now, why is he hiding and not showing up, aren't you afraid of any changes and turmoil in Hubei?" Yang Shukan asked.

"This ......" Zhang Xiaohuai really didn't know how to answer, after all, everything was just his guess, and there was no definite news that Wang Mo was still alive.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohuai couldn't answer, Yang Shukan became more and more sure of his thoughts, his face sank, and he said in a cold voice: "Since Brother Runnong is an eagle dog lackey who is determined to be an independent warlord, then I will leave, do you want to report me to the top of the Sichuan army, whatever you want!" With that, he shook his hand, then turned around and left Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Xiaohuai raised his hand slightly, wanting to stop Yang Shukan, but in the end he didn't speak, just sighed slowly.

The country is so poor and weak, and there are foreign powers waiting for it, why do the Kuomintang princes insist on provoking a civil war?

Zhang Xiaohuai was very disappointed in the Kuomintang princes, and even wavered with the democratic and republican ideas he had pursued all his life.

After Zhang Xiaohuai ran into a wall here, the Kuomintang did not give up its plan to seize Hubei, but continued to secretly link up with people dissatisfied with the Sichuan army and speculative forces in Hubei Province. On the Jiangxi side, Li Liejun is also stepping up the reorganization of the army and preparing to march into Hubei at any time.

……

Beijing, the suburbs of Beijing, the camp of the Beiyang Army.

From time to time, there were bursts of sharp brass whistles, the sound of commands from officers at all levels, and the vibrating resonance of a large number of soldiers marching in unison.

Yuan Shikai was dressed in a military uniform, followed by a large number of high-ranking officers of the Beiyang Army, and slowly walked into the barracks.

"Salute!"

Whenever Yuan Shikai passed by, the officers leading the troops there shouted orders and led his subordinates to salute Yuan Shikai.

At this moment, the training in this camp is the newly formed 7th and 8th divisions of the Beiyang Army, since the last plan to sweep away the Southern Nationalist Party was disrupted by the Sichuan army, Yuan Shikai has stepped up to expand the strength of the Beiyang Army. To this end, he did not hesitate to allocate a large amount of men, money, and guns to step up the training of the 7th and 8th divisions of the Beiyang Army.

Judging from the performance of the various units on the training ground, this effort has not been in vain, and the two new divisions have already initially formed combat effectiveness.

Yuan Shikai nodded and said, "The 7th and 8th Divisions can be trained like this in such a short period of time, Chaoyan (Lei Zhenchun, commander of the 7th Division) Your soldiers are still training well." ”

After receiving Yuan Shikai's praise and appreciation, Lei Zhenchun and Li Changtai, the commander of the 8th Division, were both overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up, stood up and saluted, and said in unison: "Thank you President for the award!" ”

Yuan Shikai waved his hand and said: "Don't slack off because of this, you must know that now the Kuomintang in the southern provinces is rearming and fighting, and it will soon fight with us." Therefore, you still need to increase the intensity of military training, and you must make the 7th and 8th Divisions become elite and strong troops as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, obey the decree of the President!"

Lei Zhenchun and Li Changtai answered the order in unison.

Subsequently, Yuan Shikai took a group of senior officers of the Beiyang Army to watch the joint drills of the 7th Division and the 8th Division, as well as various offensive and defensive technical and tactical drills.

Not only the newly organized 7th and 8th Divisions of the Beiyang Army are stepping up their preparations for war, but the divisions in last year's First World War have also successively replenished their damaged personnel and guns and are in full swing to carry out combat readiness work.

……

Shandong, Yimeng Mountain, Yiyuan Airport.

Buzz - Buzz -

The hum of airplanes could be heard in the sky, and it was getting closer, louder and louder.

At the airport, a usher, dressed in a striking yellow vest, waved a green flag in both hands to signal the approaching plane.

呲呲――呲呲――

There was a violent friction between the plane's pulleys and the ground in the playground, and the resulting drag gradually slowed down the plane, which eventually came to a halt.

Pushing open the cabin door, Chen Yifan jumped off the plane.

"Beautiful, Team Chen flew really beautifully just now!"

"That rolling turn just now is really amazing, and Team Chen dares to fly like this!"

"That is, otherwise how could Team Chen be called a flying genius by Principal Situ?"

……

The pilots of the flying group next to him applauded and applauded Chen Yifan's beautiful flight maneuver just now. (To be continued.) )
