Chapter 200: Tianjin Wharf
After the all-army reorganization meeting was held, several division commanders and brigade commanders immediately rushed back to their units with their subordinates to start preparations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
For example, Wang Dazhu's 145th Brigade originally had only 6,000 troops, but it was directly expanded into a security division with 17,000 troops.
Although it is still two months before the heavy weapons arrive, they must make people wait for guns, not guns.
Li Han also asked Gao Jian and Shi Dingzhong to cooperate with each unit to distribute 8,000 militia to the troops.
In addition, the commander of the original reconnaissance group also assigned the commander of the original reconnaissance group to the 146th Brigade as the regiment commander.
After the disbandment of the reconnaissance regiment, almost half of the troops were transferred to the guard regiment and the special service regiment, and the rest were taken to the 146th Brigade by the commander of the reconnaissance regiment.
Huang Shan, the commander of the 146th Brigade, smiled from ear to ear, and sighed that the military seat was finally a conscience discovery this time, and remembered that he had come to see that there was no good thing to stuff Wang Dazhu where. To be able to become the head of the reconnaissance group of the military department, there is no doubt about his command ability.
The reason why the reconnaissance regiment was disbanded by Li Han was not because the regiment commander's ability was not good, nor was it because the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance regiment was not good, but because Li Han felt that the number of troops directly under the military department was indeed a bit too much.
If you add a reconnaissance regiment, the strength is comparable to the previous division, and even the sum of the two divisions of the non-descendant national army division, Li Han's cheekiness has been trained a lot recently, but he also feels that he is really a bit brazen in doing this.
That's why Li Hancai planned to abolish the reconnaissance regiment, and besides, didn't Li Yong, the former head of the reconnaissance regiment, also serve in the combat unit before, which can be regarded as giving full play to the fine tradition of the reconnaissance regiment.
It's just that the current head of the reconnaissance regiment did not take office alone, but took half of the regiment to take office.
After the reorganization of the troops was arranged, Li Han inspected the reorganization of the troops in various divisions and brigades, and at the same time, he also went to show his face and let the soldiers know who their commander was.
The two divisions and four brigades all made a trip, and the time soon reached the middle of July, when the news came from those who were still in Peking that the Japanese steamer was finally about to move.
After losing 8 million silver dollars, in order to recover the losses, the Japanese smuggled more and more frenzied in various parts of the Republic of China, and the Japanese military department even did not hesitate to send troops to escort their merchants in the smuggling of silver in the Republic of China.
In order to be able to purchase enough silver in the shortest possible time, they even did not hesitate to increase the price of silver, plus the Japanese originally had privileges in the Republic of China, and there were Japanese soldiers to protect them.
The local government not only did not dare to offend them, but tried their best to curry favor with them, which also provided great convenience for Japanese merchants to buy silver.
Marx famously said, "Capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just as nature is afraid of a vacuum." As soon as there is a suitable profit, capital will be bold.
If there is a profit of ten percent, he guarantees that it will be used everywhere; With twenty percent profit, it becomes active;
With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For the sake of 100 percent profit, it dares to trample on all human laws;
With a profit of 300 percent, it dares to commit any crime, even to the risk of being hanged. ”
Although dozens of big businessmen committed suicide some time ago because of the silver robbery, the profits of silver trading have been close to 50 percent, and according to Marx's theory, this is enough to make the capitalists take risks.
What's more, in China during this period, there was no such thing as taking risks for Japanese businessmen, as long as they were Japanese, whether they were businessmen or civilians, they dared to trample on the laws of the Republic of China.
Driven by profits, more Japanese merchants joined the smuggling of silver, and they supported agents everywhere in the Republic of China.
At the same time, the big merchants in Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai and other places also took the opportunity to send the country's difficult fortune and killed a large amount of silver to the Pingjin area.
In less than a month, the Japanese had purchased eight million silver dollars of silver, and this time the devils learned their lesson and directly sent heavy troops to Tianjin.
This batch of silver was originally planned to be shipped to Japan on the 10th of last month, because the robbery of the silver was delayed for nearly a month, so after the silver arrived, the Japanese did not make any stops, and set off on the evening of the silver arrival.
"Jin Long, how are you preparing over there, are you sure?" Li Han asked Jin Long on the other end of the phone.
Although the Golden Dragon has been rehearsed countless times in advance, but after all, this is to blow up the devil's ship, the sea is not as good as the land, if you can't board the devil's ship, even if Li Han sends more manpower to the golden dragon, it will not help.
Although he knew that it was useless to worry about it until now, his heart could not be put down. If it weren't for the lack of time, he would have rushed to Tianjin in person, even if he knew that even if he went, it wouldn't be of much use.
"Please rest assured, if you can't complete the task, I'll come to see you."
Jin Long replied loudly, Li Han couldn't eat and sleep for this matter, but now he was in his heart with high fighting spirit.
Last month, he successfully robbed the devil of hundreds of tons of silver, and the golden dragon didn't sleep for several days, and as soon as he closed his eyes every day, his eyes were immediately full of white flowers.
Jin Long now feels that he has not been pitted by the military seat, if he did not go to the army with the military seat in Rehe, he must be a Jiangyang thief now.
The amount of silver he wants to make this time is several times that of the last time, and if he succeeds this time, then he will really be 'Megatron'.
Of course, the fly in the ointment is that even if he succeeds, no one knows that he did it, and at most he can only be an unsung hero.
Fortunately, Jin Long also thought about it, he is now the commander of a national army, and he is not reckless, what is the use of having such a big reputation, it is better to ask for some real benefits from the military seat.
Li Hanke promised him that after the completion of this mission, he would add an artillery battalion equipped with eight mountain guns to the guard regiment.
In exchange for the three million silver dollars of the little devil for the eight mountain cannons of the military seat, Jin Long felt that it was barely okay, after all, he had no way to get the 30 million silver dollars on the ship back to Chahar.
", what's the use of my head asking for you, and besides, even if your head is made of gold, it's worth more than eight hundred tons of silver?
I repeat that no matter whether this mission is successful or not, you must return to Chahar immediately with your brothers, and there will be more opportunities to fight devils in the future. This time the whole army will be redressed, and the guard regiment will be the first unit to receive new rifles. ”
Li Han's attack on the Japanese silver was to weaken the strength of the Japanese, and after the eight million silver in Beiping arrived, he had the idea of 'I am fortunate to be gained, and my life will be lost' for this operation.
Jin Long is a general under him, and even if he dies, he can only be a warrior battlefield.
"Yes! Throne! ”
For Li Han's order, Jin Long of course carried it out unconditionally.
"Wu shopkeeper, a great fortune is just around the corner, as long as this operation is successful, the brothers involved in the operation want to be the company commander of the officer, and each person who wants to get rich will be at least five hundred silver dollars, and if he dies, he will be given an extra five hundred silver dollars as a settlement fee."
Jin Long said, and beside him stood a man of about forty years old, with a full beard, a large figure and a box cannon pinned to his waist.
Wu Daolong, known as the mixed river dragon, is a tyrant of the Tianjin wharf, with hundreds of brothers under his command, and in his heyday there were more than 80 small-tonnage transport ships and five armed speedboats.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, in order to control Tianjin in their hands, the Japanese instigated the struggle of the forces of the Tianjin wharf.
Standing behind him was the British, the British used to be the boss of the Japanese, as a gang supported by the British, Wu Daolong naturally did not take the gangs supported by the Japanese in his eyes.
He didn't even pay attention to the Japanese, because he felt that the Japanese were British horses like himself, and the Japanese were just crazy, so they dared to come to the British concession to make trouble.
After all, Wu Daolong is just a gangster, how can he know that this time is no longer the same as in the past, the British are already in the twilight of heroes, and the ambitious Japan does not even take the British seriously. Seeing that Wu Daolong was so ignorant, the Japanese didn't even have the desire to buy it, so they directly attacked Wu Daolong.
So Wu Daolong was tragic, when the Japanese did it, the British master behind him did not choose to lend him a helping hand, but directly abandoned him.
Now Wu Daolong has changed from a mixed river dragon to a mixed river snake, there are less than five small tonnage transport ships left, and the brothers under his command have also changed from three or four hundred people to thirty or forty people now.
The only thing that remains unchanged is a few armed speedboats, after all, as long as Wu Daolong still wants to mix in the port of Tianjin, these armed speedboats cannot be lost, without their protection, his ship will not even be able to leave the port.
