Chapter 240: Nosy and the German Eye

Chapter 240 Nosy and German Eye

The commander criticized Wu Luzhen for being nosy, which is not a lack of indulgence.

Lan Tianwei replied a few times, but she was secretly surprised in her heart, the commander-in-chief's words seemed to be mentioned casually, but there was something in the words.

Since Jiang Fangzhen joined the Republican Army and became the deputy chief of the General Staff, the training and tactics of the Republican Army are gradually shifting from the rì style to the German style, although this transformation has not yet been completed, but the "Germanization" of the Republican Army is a certainty, therefore, any accusation of the German-style cāo law and tactics is regarded as heresy by the commander-in-chief and the General Staff, but Wu Luzhen has committed a taboo in this, no wonder the commander-in-chief wants to say a few strange words in front of Lan Tianwei, Moreover, the dispute between the rì-style cāo law and the German-style cāo law involved Jiang Fangzhen, who was in the limelight, and was also related to the current foreign policy of the Republican Army, so it must not be taken lightly, Lan Tianwei immediately made a decision, and went to Wu Luzhen to talk about it when he turned around, so as not to ruin his good future.

In fact, Lan Tianwei only thought of one aspect, the reason why Wu Luzhen was indirectly beaten by Zhao Bei was because of his political attitude, because Wu Luzhen is a member of the League, and Zhao Bei has always emphasized the "pure xìng" of soldiers and opposes active military officers to engage in political activities, so Zhao Bei is very uneasy about Wu Luzhen, especially after learning that Wu Luzhen has intentionally or unintentionally mentioned the program of the League several times in the Officers' Crash School, Zhao Bei is even more upset, always cherished Wu Luzhen's real intention of going to the officers' crash course frequently, so he took this opportunity to remind Wu Luzhen through Lan Tianwei, lest he go astray and be used as a gunman.

In contrast, Lan Tianwei, Bai Wenwei and others are much more "honest", since Zhao Bei's "Harmony Order" was issued, they have not deliberately emphasized their background in the alliance, Bai Wenwei became the commander of the division and published a statement in the newspaper, announcing his withdrawal from the alliance, and some other senior officers with the same background as Bai Wenwei also chose the same way, with a relatively simple appearance to continue to serve in the Republican Army, for these people who know the times, Zhao Bei of course welcomes and vigorously promotes.

At the beginning, Zhao Bei asked Wu Zhen to be the commander of the military police, mainly because of Lan Tianwei's recommendation, and Wu Luzhen did a good job and rectified the military discipline of the Republican Army and the Revolutionary Guards in a short period of time, but if he was really "obsessed", Zhao Bei could only replace the commander of the military police, but he has not yet found a suitable replacement, Jiang Fangzhen's military theory is good, but he is too peaceful, and his majesty is not strict and suitable for being the commander of the military police, Lan Tianwei is the chief of staff, and his affairs are busy, and it is not suitable, as for other senior officers, Either they lack the qualifications to serve the public, or they lack the ability to take on big responsibilities. In this way, after calculation, it seems that only Zhao Bei will go to work part-time again, and be the commander of the military police under the name of him, and the specific affairs will be handed over to his subordinates to do their fake tiger power.

Therefore, Zhao Bei still hopes that Wu Lu will "change his mind" is actually a talent, and he can't be given to other forces, not to mention that this person was a Yanji border assistant when Xu Shichang was in the scene, and he is very familiar with the situation, geography, human conditions, and climate of the three eastern provinces, and if he wants to solve the Northeast problem by force in the future, this person may be able to come in handy.

"Chief of Staff Lan, tell Wu Luzhen that he will not go to the Officers' Crash Course in the future, use his free time to write a book for me, write a book about our three eastern provinces, historical evolution, human geography, customs and habits, economic overview, the more detailed the better, the book is written, I will award him a medal, and if he wants, I can also transfer him to the combat unit as a division commander, or even a military commander!" Zhao Bei made up his mind and told Lan Tianwei.

"Yes, I remember."

Lan Tianwei nodded, sighing for the commander-in-chief's kindness.

Wu Luzhen is the same as Jiang Fangzhen. All of them have a lofty ideal of military modernization. They all want to refresh the Chinese army in the shortest possible time. It's a pity that the commander-in-chief doesn't look down on this military theory. Otherwise. With Wu Luzhen's qualifications for the first phase of non-commissioned officer students. What are the obstacles to being the principal of a military academy? Now Lan Tianwei is still the acting principal of the military crash school. But it may not be long. This position is about to be given to Jiang Fangzhen. Look to the IRA. Except for the commander-in-chief, I'm afraid. Only Jiang Fangzhen is most familiar with the theory of moral affairs. And this person is also a non-commissioned officer born in Liurì. It can be described as "learning through things". The military theory of the two countries has been thoroughly pondered by him. Plus a vision and knowledge that is not inferior to that of the commander-in-chief of other places. The Germanization of the Republican Army is simply irreversible.

The reason why the original court took a fancy to the local military theory. It's purely to save money. Studying abroad is much cheaper than studying in Europe. Moreover, the rì army has always emphasized the "meat bullet jīng god". Bayonet charge. Compare it with Germany's emphasis on firepower. This tactic is also more cost-effective. In the eyes of the Qing court. It doesn't get much better than that. Train the new army with rìben tactics. Save money and worry. Anyway, they are going to really go to war with the Great Powers. Let alone. The victory in the Russo-Russian War further proves that the idea of the war is "correct". Thereupon. A large number of young people were sent to Rìben to study abroad. After they return home. In a short period of time, the localization of the Forces nouvelles was completed. It can be regarded as completing the task of painting cats and tigers.

But. Against a cat~ how can you not draw a tiger. At best, it's just a small cat. What's more, the rì "cat" was not at ease in the first place. Count on such a new army to resist the powers. It can only be a fish for a tree. This

Almost no one realizes it. Only a few people such as Jiang Fangzhen saw that Zhao Beili was disagreeable. Fully support the Germanization and transformation of the Republican Army.

In fact, the army does not pay attention to firepower. However, the national strength is limited. It can only use the density of troops to fight with the density of firepower.

On the issue of firepower. The Republican Army faced the same problems as the Rì Army. It's all about the lack of national strength.

Emphasizing firepower means further strengthening weapons and equipment, and "Germanization" means doubling military spending, and artillery, artillery shells, machine guns, and bullets are all bought with silver, and maintaining a purely Germanized armed force is a luxury for China's finances.

In order to find a suitable balance between "rì naturalization" and "Germanization", everyone can be said to have tried their best to stay up all night in a row, whether it is Jiang Fangzhen or Zhao Bei, all the staff officers of the conspiracy department who have often stayed up for a while have been red-eyed in recent times are also the same, so that they are respectfully called "German eyes".

"Germanization is easier said than done."

Lan Tianwei sighed in his heart that the finances of the government are not sufficient, although he can barely maintain the current seven standing divisions, but this is under the premise of receiving the treasury of the Qing court over the years, the continuous war, coupled with the aftermath of the war, has almost made the finances of Hubei and Sichuan provinces to the point of being stretched, and the army has wantonly reduced taxes and abolished the sitting in order to win the hearts of the people, which has further aggravated the financial embarrassment. All this depends on whether the commander-in-chief's salt policy reform can be successful.

Although some officers of the staff believed that it was necessary to downsize the troops, no one dared to make a suggestion in front of Zhao Bei, and it was only by taking advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Shikai's order to solicit opinions on disarmament a few days ago that Lan Tianwei came forward to knock on the side and struck on the side, but Zhao Bei was not soft or hard.

"Yuan Shikai wants to betray the country, how can the revolutionary army be disbanded?"

This was Zhao Bei's answer at that time, simple and crisp, which only showed his attitude, but also clarified his differences with Yuan Shikai At this time, almost all senior officers knew that Commander-in-Chief Zhao no longer "unconditionally" supported President Yuan.

"Do you still have to fight? Fighting a war with the Beiyang Army? ”

Remembering the words of the commander-in-chief, Lan Tianwei felt a headache, and the commander-in-chief rushed back to Wuhan to sit in the town, because the Beiyang Army sent several divisions along the Jinghan Railway, although it was later understood that their intention was only defense, but no one dared to take it lightly.

Zhao Bei and Yuan Shikai's posture of guarding each other has made Lan Tianwei see clearly, and in his heart, Lan Tianwei still hopes to avoid conflict, after all, the international environment in which China is now located is extremely dangerous, and any large-scale civil war may cause the country to be carved up by the great powers.

But before the blue sky went down, he heard a "buzzing" sound in the sky, looked up, and saw an airplane in the clear blue sky.

Under the wings of the plane were painted five flags, and there were four square characters, although the telescope could not see clearly, everyone present knew that those four words should be "Iron and Blood Republic", which was the plane of the Republican Flying Team.

"It's our plane!" The cadets of the flying team jumped up and shouted loudly, but soon they noticed that there was something special about the plane, not the two box planes they were familiar with.

"It's Captain Feng, they're back home!" Some people reacted quickly.

"That's right! Look at the tail of the plane, the captain's flag is flying! It's Captain Feng driving! Another shouted holding up a binocular.

"Feng Ru and Xie Tai are back?"

Zhao Bei was taken aback, the students of the flight team are basically rookies, and only Feng Ru can fly the plane, the plane in the sky is obviously the newly bought aircraft this time, it has not undergone strict maintenance, in case it falls, it will affect the future of the entire flight team――――― although Captain Feng himself is also self-taught.

"This guy is too reckless, when he lands, tell him to stop! Last time, I went out to bomb without authorization, and this time I came back with a prelude. Loose, too loose! ”

Zhao Bei angrily stepped onto the war horse, pulled the reins, and said to his subordinates who were still stunned: "Don't be stunned, follow me back to the flight school!" When the plane comes down, I have to remove the engine and lock the ammunition magazine! ”

Before the words fell, he had already led the guards away, and several staff officers and adjutants also rode to follow, only those flight cadets had not learned to ride horses, so they could only run back to the airport.

"Remember, everyone, in the future, we will not only learn to fly an airplane, but also learn to ride a horse!" Meng Fei took out a silk scarf from his pocket and shouted to the flight students while wiping his sweat.

Of course, this was just his dream, the Republican army did not have enough horses, it was impossible to equip unrelated personnel with horses, and the flight cadets would soon find that they did not need to learn to ride horses at all, because they had better means of transportation.
