This is the Gaiping Railway Station, and now, in this railway station, President Zhao Bei is seeing off the soldiers who went out A few days after the end of the Gaiping Battle Network, there are war relics everywhere, and even this railway station is ruined and dilapidated, but this has not affected the morale of the soldiers on the expedition, nor has it shaken the president's confidence in victory.

Just a few minutes ago, he had entered the carriage, shook hands and talked with those soldiers who went out to fight, and when he got off the train from the crowded carriage, he was already covered in sweat, the military uniform was soaked with sweat, and the entourage had suggested that he change into dry clothes, but Zhao Bei refused, he was so sweaty standing on the platform, waving. Watch as the military column leaves the train station and embarks on the journey south.

The front-line soldiers shed blood, and the president can't even sweat and be reluctant to shed some, right?

This is a small part of Zhao Bei's itinerary to inspect the front line, there is no momentum to recover, and it even looks a little dull, but in this dullness, Zhao Bei has completed the work that a national leader must complete.

It's a bit regrettable to say that Zhao Bei originally planned to hold a military parade at the Gaiping Railway Station. But the plan didn't change quickly, just this morning, when he took the train south from Yingkou. News came from the Eastern Front that the Japanese army was massing on a large scale, and there were signs of returning east to Dagushan, so. Wu Luzhen, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, immediately adjusted his deployment and transferred the reserve unit to the southern region and entered the battlefield. I had to go to the train station to see off the reserves.

Not only that, Zhao Bei originally planned to use the two airships to take aerial photography to record the grand parade, but after the airships flew from Yingkou to Gaiping, they only stayed for a while, and after adding fuel to the motive, they hurriedly transferred to the Great Dividing Ridge to reconnoiter the deployment of the Japanese army, and as a result, the aerial photography plan was in vain. The camera team brought by the president could only set up camera sets on the platform of the railway station and see off the military train with the president.

Considering that the camera would move the camera to this side at any time, Zhao Bei had to maintain an upright posture. It wasn't until the military train left the train station that he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look, and saw that the camera was pointing the camera at the train's guard, so he quickly stepped back from the platform, took a folding fan from the adjutant's hand, and fanned the wind vigorously.

"Report to the President! Commander-in-Chief Wu relayed. Now that the minefield has been largely cleared, the President can go to the battlefield to inspect it. ”

Qin Sihu, the captain of the guard, hurried over from the dispatch room of the railway station, stood upright, saluted, and told Wu Luzhen the content of the phone call he had just made.

"Got it. You tell Wu Luzhen, I will go over immediately, if he can't wait, he doesn't have to wait, the military situation on the front line is changing rapidly. If he is not at ease, he will go to the south, I can just walk around in Gaiping by myself, there is no need for him to accompany him all the way. ”

Zhao Bei unbuttoned his collar, folded the fan, pointed forward, and left the platform with a large number of entourage, and rushed to the only intact western-style building near the train station, where the Japanese army headquarters was originally located, and now it is Wu Luzhen's headquarters.

Walking into the headquarters, Zhao Bei mentioned the pot of herbal tea. I poured it down in one breath, and changed the soaked military uniform in the office, put on shorts, undershirts, and a Western-style cool hat, and then walked down the building in good spirits.

Soon after, Zhao Bei led his guards to the battlefield outside the city, and it was on this battlefield. The squadron had a tragic battle with the Japanese Kwantung Army, and Zhao Bei came to inspect the battlefield on the spot and pay tribute to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

At this time, a monument made of bricks and cement has been erected next to the remains of the battlefield, the monument is not very high, but the two people are high, this is the memorial monument, but also the victory monument, at this time there is no handwriting on the monument, Zhao Bei came over, it is to inscribe the monument.

In the past few years, Zhao Beiping has not practiced big characters in ordinary times, and now he lifts the brush and writes on the monument the big characters "The soldiers who died in the Gaiping Battle are immortal". It is only a preliminary work for carvers to carve on the monument, and a taller monument will be built here, when the craftsmen will enlarge these presidential inscriptions and make them into gold letters, which will be inlaid on the front of the monument.

In addition to the car people, there were also a lot of government officials and journalists, and according to the usual practice, Zhao Bei inevitably wanted to make a speech to encourage the people, but also to comfort the souls of the soldiers in the sky, and according to custom, the speech was burned to comfort the heroic souls.

After these red tape were over, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhao Bei specially asked Wu Luzhen to take him to the position where Tachibana Koichiro, the commander of the Japanese Kwantung Army, was killed, and when he heard that Tachibana Koichiro's katana had become a trophy, he asked Wu Luzhen to bring the katana over to him to see.

The martial arts knife is now the collection of Jiang Zunyi, chief of staff of the Fifth Army, he is not like other generals, he likes to show off, after seizing the katana, Jiang Zun basket put it into a wooden box and put it in the staff department, at this time the president wants to see this katana, Wu Luzhen gave an order to go over Jiang Zun basket and hurriedly ran over with a katana, followed by Li Liejun, the commander of the Fifth Army, he also captured a Japanese saber, which is the saber of the Japanese Fifth Division Commander Otani Baying, not like Jiang Zunzhen and the saber collected, he is the general slightly fierce spell armed belt. Show off everywhere.

In fact, the katana itself is nothing special, due to historical reasons, Zhao Bei is not even used to seeing the ** people holding Japanese katana around, so, after seeing the katana. Zhao Bei issued an order, stipulating that from now on, no matter who captured the Japanese saber from the battlefield, it was not allowed to be hung on his body, and he could collect it, but he was not allowed to display it everywhere.

Li Liejun was bored in front of the president, so he had no choice but to untie the Japanese saber and hand it over to the adjutant to carry, but fortunately, the president did not intend to delve into it, after all, the Fifth Army went to attack the backbone of Gaiping, whether it was to conquer Gaiping or to encircle and annihilate the Japanese Kwantung Army, Li Liejun had made great contributions, and now the General Staff Headquarters and the Political Propaganda Committee were studying the reward for meritorious deeds, and it was really not appropriate to make a big fuss at this time.

Perhaps seeing that Li Liejun was a little frustrated, Zhao Bei decided to appease the hero, so he proposed to go hunting in the mountains before dark, and named Li Liejun to accompany him.

Seeing that the president was interested in hunting, Wu Luzhen felt that it was time to leave, so he hurriedly declined the president's invitation.

"President Junjian, the military situation on the front line is urgent. It is inconvenient for the department to accompany the president on hunting, and if the president's inspection is completed, then the department will go south. ”

"Okay, you can go to the front line and take command. With you in command, I'm relieved. You can rest assured, although I will not leave Gaiping in the next few days, I will not interfere with your command. You have the final say on how to fight this, and I will only give some advice at the strategic level. ”

Zhao Bei is also self-aware, he doesn't know much about tactics, so he still lets Wu Luzhen, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy, arrange the details of the operation, he only needs to coordinate strategically.

Seeing the president's delegation of power, Wu Luzhen was very happy in her heart. However, before leaving, he still whispered a few words, which were said to Jiang Zunwan and Li Liejun.

"After the Fifth Army has rested, it will leave no later tomorrow afternoon and rush to the front to act as a reserve. As for the security of the president, it is left to the rearguard forces, and you must get to the front line as soon as possible. ”

"Please rest assured, commander-in-chief, we will be on time to the battlefield

Jiang Zunbasket and Li Liejun understood that Wu Luzhen was worried that they were "playful" and that they would be addicted to hunting with the president, but then again. It is true that the Fifth Army cannot be pulled to the front immediately until new recruits are added to the troops.

Wu Luzhen left quickly, and Zhao Bei was left with only a group of guards and a few high-ranking officers. As for those civil officials, although they were not much interested in hunting, since the president was quite interested, everyone was happy to give up their lives to accompany the gentleman, and followed the president to the deep mountains and old forests in the east.

When Zhao Bei led everyone to the foot of the mountain, it was already dark, but fortunately, everyone had already prepared, set up tents at the moment, and prepared to spend the night at the foot of the mountain. Although he came out to hunt, the telegraph company also came with him, the camp had not yet been built, the antenna of the radio station had been set up, and the first telegram was taken to contact Gaipin, after that, the telegram "tick-tock" rang non-stop, the telegraph man skillfully copied the telegram, and the adjutant of the chamberlain selected the most important telegram from it and forwarded it to the president at the first time

。

Although the president delegated power and let Li Yuanhong, Li Suohe, and others handle government affairs, every night, the presidential palace still had to organize the entire day's administrative affairs into briefings and hand them over to the president for his review, and if the president had any different opinions, he could change them immediately.

For the loyalty of his subordinates, Zhao Bei was relatively satisfied. Moreover, Li Zihe has been the director of the chamberlain office for several years, and the government affairs have been handled very properly. Zhao Bei can stay on the front line with confidence, as for when he will return to Beijing, he has not yet made up his mind, because he is still waiting for a telegram, which was taken by Yang Du.

Yang Du is neither in Beijing nor in Gaiping, but in Shenyang, he left Beijing with Zhao Bei, but after going to Jinzhou, he did not stay, but rushed directly to Shenyang by train, with two main purposes: first, to run for the affairs of the president's government, rectify the Association for the Promotion of Politics in the northeast region, and blow the political wind to the three eastern provinces; Second, as the presidential plenipotentiary, he held talks with Russian consuls and diplomatic envoys in Shenyang. Discuss the law and order situation in the North Manchurian region. Now the situation in Europe is tense, and in the event of a war, Russia will definitely send troops from the Far East to reinforce the European theater. At that time, the security situation in North Manchuria, which is not optimistic, is a rainy day, but it may not be that the drunkard does not mean to drink.

The international situation is now basically in the hands of Zhao Bei, and this advantage is incomparable. And make Zhao Bei take the lead.

Yang Du's telegram did not come today, but to Zhao Bei's surprise, the Admiralty took a telegram late that night, which made Zhao Bei's attention shift to another matter.

"Order the Admiralty, act according to Plan One."

Zhao Bei's reply was very simple, he really didn't need to pay attention to the specific details of the operation at all times, as long as the Admiralty could conscientiously implement the pre-formulated combat plan, then everything would be under control.
