Chapter 234: South China Sea Plan

"Zhanjiang town guard Long Jiguang was suddenly attacked on the first day of swearing to seek Gui, and Long Jiguang himself was not a servant."

On the second day after Li Zongren and Wang Jinsong joined forces to take Maoming, a picture of the Dinggui Army in green uniforms immediately appeared in the newspapers, and at the same time dissected the mystery of where Li Zongren's subordinates came from.

In the Dongjiang River basin of Guangdong, Chen Jiongming's army, Chen Jiongming at this time, called himself the first army of Guangdong and served as the commander.

"Hmph, look at it, this Yang Shuai will eat us sooner or later. Six thousand, six thousand, who knew before that he had six thousand men hidden in that mountain? God knows if he will also have another 108,000 hidden in some corner now. ”

Chen Jiongming is jealous of Yang Shuai's achievements, why can you unify Guangxi, but I have not been able to unify Guangdong. At least then we'll all be on an equal footing. Therefore, Chen Jiongming has never had a good impression of Yang Shuai, which is why Sun Wen has always endured him before.

Suddenly, Yang Shuai once again shocked the world, the modern tactics of naval transportation made some people begin to think about the problems that should be paid attention to when fighting against Yang Shuai in the future, you know, there are few places where China really has a large navy.

The Guangdong and Fujian sailors have collapsed, and there are still a few ships at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it is said that the commander of the northeast has also begun to pay attention to the construction of the navy.

Hu Hanmin is not a person who likes war, and in principle, he does not approve of this war against Gui so much, but all this is led by Mr. Sun Wen, but Hu Hanmin cannot but support it. However, I didn't expect that at the critical time, Mr. Sun Wen left Guangzhou in an instant on the grounds that the construction of the party organization in Wuhan had encountered a problem that I could not solve, and Hu Hanmin felt that he was isolated and helpless.

Hu Hanmin: "I propose to expel Yang Shuai from the party. ”

As soon as Hu Hanmin said, only a few people looked up, and then bowed their heads one by one. Hu Hanmin was anxious: "What's wrong?" Now to weaken Yang Shuai, the best way is nothing more than this, you just imagine, expelling him from the party is equivalent to telling everyone that Yang Shuai is not a member of our party, and then countless party members in Guangxi will no longer be confused by him. Without the support of so many elites, Yang Shuai must have collapsed in an instant, which is many times safer than a military strike. ”

Chen Jiongming knocked on the table drippingly, what Hu Hanmin said, he didn't think about it anymore, but it was because he thought about it that Chen Jiongming didn't agree. joke, expelled Yang Shuai from the party, Yang Shuai fell, and then, there will be another person to replace Guangxi. But Chen Jiongming is not just to defeat Yang Shuai, what I want is territory, and defeating Yang Shuai is not the real purpose.

Chen Jiongming: "Okay, I decided to observe for a while to see how Chen Bingkun's side and Hunan and Guizhou react, and I'll stop here today." ”

Hu Hanmin was stunned for a moment, and then left disappointed, hesitating, not when it was time to make a decision, didn't this give Yang Shuai a chance to break through. You look at Yang Shuai, you can fight when you say it, and you don't necessarily know when you hit the door, why are people so simple.

Speaking of which, Yang Shuai also faced this controversy at this time, which came from the controversy between the navy and the army after the successful sneak attack on Maoming.

This sneak attack, the troop transport mission was done brilliantly, and this thing was done by the Admiralty. When Zhanjiang Prefecture was cut off, the navy began to make a noise, that is, to attack Hainan Island.

The Navy believes that Weizhou Island is a good naval base, but it is too close to the coastline. Hainan Island is a different story, it will be an excellent marine observatory. As long as Hainan Island is controlled, the suitable range of the navy is equivalent to more than 200 nautical miles on the open sea.

It seems that the navy has been forced to become a "river army" since the first year of the First Sino-Japanese War, and can only shrink on the river surface and coastline. The Navy is constantly thinking that one day it will be able to return to the sea, crisscrossing the vast blue ocean.

At this time, the European plan has been implemented, and military orders with the United States and other powers have begun, and in less than a year and a half, the Weizhou Island Navy will have truly modern warships.

Therefore, the navy wanted to attack, longing for a wider sky, earth and sea.

However, the War Department, headed by Li Zongren and others, hesitated. First, Hainan Island is a barren land, and that place occupies an unknown amount of resources to be built. Second, there are simply no extra forces to defend the South China Sea, not even to cross the Qiongzhou Strait.

Indeed, now Yang Shuai is facing a possible siege, and the troops are already small, let alone dividing the troops now. This time to attack Maoming, Yang Shuai's intention was only to destroy the enemy army and weaken the enemy army, and he didn't think about occupying it at all, because Yang Shuai's intention was to the west.

The navy then said again, okay, your army doesn't have troops, right, it's okay, let's go, Hainan Island, our navy will attack, even if the navy goes ashore, we are also a good hand.

The army was not happy either, and from the time when the Navy spent a lot of money on warships, the army began to have opinions. You said that you people know how to spend money, and it is useless at all, 40 million, if it is used to build the army, mine, what kind of thing must it be.

In short, the army does not want Yang Shuai to be distracted anywhere, and the top priority now is to repel the Gui coalition army, and then honestly take Yunnan and Guizhou, and the power of the Dinggui army will instantly triple when the time comes, and I am excited to think about it, so the navy, you should obediently go back to Weizhou Island to play, what kind of trouble.

The following is a dispute with the sea and land, but for Yang Shuai, this is all his own, so the direction that Yang Shuai considers is to be comprehensive.

At this time, there were only a few people around Yang Shuai, who were too paranoid and from the navy or the army, and they couldn't participate.

Yang Shuai: "After the military order was placed, many people said that I favored the navy and was willing to spend money. I don't refute it, because I have always had a desire in my heart to have a strong navy. Moreover, unlike the army, which has guns and can train a crack army in a year and a half, the navy is a long-term planning and construction. ”

"I hope that the future should be like this, in the future, when we have wars, we will try to control them outside the country and keep the enemy from the outside. I don't care what you think in your hearts, I have always believed that Japan, the United States, and the North **, these three countries are our biggest enemies. This large area of the East is all sea, and if we don't have a strong enough navy, we will burn the flames of war to our homeland in the future. ”

"That's why I want the navy to be strong. But in the face of the Army, I have never been biased. So, I don't want to hear any more controversy about the difference between land and sea. No, the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force, which I was about to create, were all one family. What we are discussing today is whether it is appropriate for our entire army to start controlling Hainan Island now. ”

With Yang Shuai's opening statement, everyone's next topic was much clearer, and the meeting lasted for two hours. In the end, Yang Shuai walked out and immediately gave an order: "Send someone to contact Chen Bingkun and sign a three-year treaty on the principle of mutual non-aggression, in a word, if he does not agree, within 24 hours, let Li Zongren's troops bombard Jiangmen, Wang Jinsong's troops will go straight to Yunfu, and I will go back to Nanning." ”

The status of Hainan Island at this time is indeed a bit embarrassing, he has always belonged to the territory of Guangdong, but because of the fact that Hainan Island is separated by the sea, and Hainan Island is backward and mountainous, it has not been valued by the rulers of Guangdong dynasties.

But Yang Shuai knows that the value of Hainan Island is absolutely not to be underestimated, and he plays an irreplaceable role in China's control of the South China Sea. At the same time, it is said that Hainan Island is poor, because no one has been able to develop Hainan Island correctly.

As far as Yang Shuai's original intention is concerned, he very much hopes to take Hainan Island immediately. But now, he doesn't seem to have this strength, and Yang Shuai doesn't want to be dragged down. Either eat it in one bite or not at all, but you must not let him get stuck in his throat, it is fatal.

Yang Shuai returned to Nanning because Yang Shuai made a decision and decided not to move Hainan Island for the time being. However, it was necessary to lay out first, so Yang Shuai returned to Nanning.

Dai Li, the person Yang Shuai wants to see is Dai Li. Unexpectedly, before Yang Shuai could speak, Dai Li said that there was a report, and then handed Yang Shuai a piece of information.

Yang Shuai frowned after reading it: "The one in the Northeast? ”

Dai Li nodded: "Commander, do you want to arrest it now, for the safety of your wife." ”

Yang Shuai shook his head: "He's not an assassin, and he's not here for Lu Yun." Now that you've found out, then you should follow him and use him, a spy, who can sometimes serve us. Okay, let's talk about the South China Sea, I want you to go there and set up a branch and do underground work to provide more information for our future operations. ”

Dai Li nodded, and then said: "Commander, should you come back just because of this, I don't believe that you came all the way back just to talk about the establishment of a branch, this kind of thing you can just call away." ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "Do you know how expensive the phone is, really." Then he nodded: "It's true that I didn't come back because of Hainan Island, it's just an excuse, I want to go to Guizhou, can you arrange it?" ”

Dai Li's eyes opened and he looked at Yang Shuai with his mouth open.

Yang Shuai: "Don't look at me like that, that's what I plan." The sneak attack on Long Jiguang was successful, and the threat of Guangdong can be said to have been lifted, Chen Bingkun has a malicious Chen Jiongming behind him, and Chen Bingkun will not fight us to the death. So, there's no need for me to stay in the east. Wang Wenhua and Liu Xianshi of Guizhou are both ambitious overlords, but Dai Huan is different, if I agree to stop the army as long as Dai Huan is the governor of Guizhou, do you think the Guizhou army will surrender? ”

Dai Li's eyes narrowed: "Commander, this, you shouldn't ask me." ”

Yang Shuai smiled: "I'm just talking, you really asked you, hahaha." "Leaving a black face with a hat, damn it, he was tricked by the commander again.
