Before the arrival of the messenger from the Military Aircraft Department, Wu Luzhen, Zhang Shaozeng, and Lan Tianwei were very happy: although it took more time than expected, their troops still completed their mission, and they caught all the 400 German soldiers who had fallen into the trap, and did not let any of them escape.

A great victory.

Four hundred German soldiers! The three commanders carefully reflected on their achievements. Since the beginning of this war, except for Nie Shicheng's Wuwei front army, no Qing army has achieved or been able to achieve such brilliant results. What's more, the main record of the Takewei front army was the Japanese, not the Germans, and the Japanese army could not yet be compared with the German army.

The Japanese army was only a second-rate army, the Germans had not yet fully graduated students, and the German army was the most powerful army in the world - at least the German emperor and marshal had always thought so - and the sense of honor and accomplishment brought by the elimination of 400 German soldiers was obviously higher than the elimination of hundreds or even thousands of Japanese soldiers.

Very good. Wu Luzhen, Zhang Shaozeng and Lan Tianwei happily celebrated their victory. There was no doubt that this victory would help them to be promoted, to gain a position of greater power and power in the Qing army, and to take them a big step towards the goal they had planned.

Or it can be said that they used the blood of German soldiers to pave the way for the Chinese revolution and the cause of rejuvenation in the future...... Although it is only a small part of it, it may seem insignificant, and it is not the original starting point, but it still has a significant place to remember.

Thank you, soldiers of the German Empire!

"Let's toast to the contribution of the soldiers of the German Empire" - if Qin Lang was here, he would definitely propose this, but Wu Luzhen, Zhang Shaozeng, and Lan Tianwei were not him, and they did not like unbridled ridicule and sarcasm as much as he did, so they did not make this suggestion, which was actually very good.

They were just happy, got together and laughed and laughed, and didn't seem to want to stop.

Then the messenger from the Military Aircraft Service arrived, bringing shocking news.

"What? Lord Nie died in battle! ”

Wu Luzhen could barely believe what he heard, suspecting that there was just something wrong with his ears - Nie Shicheng was killed! But how could such a thing happen? As the supreme commander of the front army, he did not need to enter the first line of positions to command, but only needed to stay in a fortified fortress with a good view in the rear.

Theoretically, he should be the safest person on the battlefield, how could he be killed? How did the Germans do this?

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Shaozeng asked. Wu Luzhen glanced at him, and doubt and surprise were written on his face. Look at Lan Tianwei again, the same is true.

He turned back and urged impatiently, "Say it!" ”

Unfortunately, the courier could not answer their questions - he only knew how to relay the messages that the Military Aircraft Department had asked him to deliver, and the Ministers of Military Aircraft were as confused as they were, wondering why the German artillery had hit Nie Shicheng so accurately, and they wanted to find out the answer.

Now, no one knows that Nie Shicheng's unfortunate death was only because he was wearing a yellow coat jointly rewarded by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, which was just an accident; It will take a long time, days, weeks, months, or years for this answer to emerge and become another special case of clothing casualties in the history of human warfare, and a topic of discussion.

But not now.

Fortunately, the reason for Nie Shicheng's death was not the most important question, it was only because of surprise that Wu Luzhen, Zhang Shaozeng and Lan Tianwei would bring it up; However, once they were fortunate to regain their composure, their concern immediately became the most important one: who would inherit Nie Shicheng's legacy.

Of course, they mean the former army of the armed guards - who will be the next commander of this highly successful army is now the most important question.

At the same time, it is also a nuisance that is not so easy to solve.

Originally, it wasn't supposed to be a nuisance. Theoretically, the new commander of the Wuwei Front Army would be chosen from among its senior officers, who unfortunately gathered around Nie Shicheng while he observed the positions of the German Expeditionary Force, so that none of them survived the German shelling.

That is to say, now, there are only middle- and lower-level officers left in the former army of Wuwei, and not only is it impossible to pick a successor among them, but there is no senior officer to manage and command. Although officers trained in the military of American advisers were able to use their connections to maintain partial order, the overall situation was that the entire force was in complete disarray.

Until a new commander takes over the unit and reinstates command, the Armed Front Army cannot participate in any battles; However, since it was not possible to choose a successor to Nie Shicheng among its senior officers, it was a problem to pick a new commander.

This is because the new commander must have excellent leadership and command skills, must not have defects such as opium smoking, and must have the support of both middle and lower-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers of the former army of Wuwei - he must have all these conditions at the same time, otherwise Nie Shicheng's legacy will collapse completely.

This is a great pity even for future revolutions: while a strong army may be a powerful tool for the Qing government to resist the revolution, on the other hand, if it can be induced to change its position, it will become a force for ending the Qing government's rule.

Nie Shicheng's legacy must not collapse, it must be allowed to continue to exist and grow further.

But it's quite difficult to do these things. Wu Luzhen, Zhang Shaozeng, and Lan Tianwei are all very clear, even if their conditions are not considered...... Of course, the Military Aircraft Department will definitely not think about it that way, what the ministers need is just a general who can lead the former army of Wuwei, even if his ability is quite mediocre, and he even has no talent except for seniority and skill, but even so, it is still an impossible job to select a suitable candidate.

There is no suitable candidate. Moreover, there must be fierce battles within the Military Aircraft Department: the ministers who support the Empress Dowager, the ministers who support the Emperor, and the ministers who support the Duanjun King will use all means to fight for control of the former army of Wuwei and consolidate the power and position of their masters, as well as their own power, at any cost.

Definitely, even if this is a special time. The struggle for power within the government has existed since the day the state was born and will always exist.

The three commanders believed their speculations.

"Tragedy." Zhang Shaozeng sighed.

Then he realized that his sigh had come too soon. "Lord Ronglu has invited the three generals to his mansion," the messenger continued, "and there is something important to discuss. ”

"Something important? What the...... Wait, what was the name you just used? Lan Tianwei blinked, "General? ”

"General." Zhang Shaozeng also noticed. If you think about it, from the moment he arrived, the name used by this messenger has always been...... Checkmate!

And his tone was very respectful, and he even used the word "please".

It's weird. Of course, when ordinary people meet officers, they will call them "generals" with great respect, because this will make the officers happy and will not cause trouble inexplicably, but the messengers of the military aircraft department are not ordinary people, on the contrary, these guys have always been arrogant and arrogant, and will not take a few petty officers in their eyes, even if these petty officers have a little merit and a little fame from the queen mother and the emperor.

It's like this with the small characters around the big guys. There is only one situation that will make them change their attitude, and that is ......

"Excuse me, what is the purpose of Lord Ronglu inviting us over?" Zhang Shaozeng also changed to a more moderate tone - also extremely rare. In fact, due to the arrogance and rudeness of the little people in the military aircraft department, the three of them did not have a good face towards these people.

But sometimes, things change, even in the blink of an eye—a few minutes ago, Wu Luzhen had used an impatient, almost questioning tone, but now he had stuffed some small gifts into the messenger's hand with a kind smile.

So, Xin said in a more respectful tone: "Lord Ronglu wants to divide General Nie's part into three and hand them over to the three generals separately. ”

"What?" Lan Tianwei shouted.

Zhang Shaozeng shook his head incomprehensibly. "Divide the former army of Wuwei into three parts?"

"Let's command?" Wu Luzhen once again thought that there was something wrong with his ears. Whether it was to divide the former army of the Wuwei into three parts, or to appoint them as commanders of the new troops, both things were beyond his comprehension...... No, it is understandable to divide Nie Shicheng's legacy into three parts, but it is indeed an unbelievable thing to appoint three young, almost fledgling petty officers as commanders.

But the messenger is very sure.

The three commanders quickly exchanged glances. They didn't expect that Rong Lu would use such a method to solve the problem of the Military Aircraft Department, and how he persuaded the other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department. Perhaps, he has not yet convinced others, but surely he has found a way......

Otherwise this messenger would not have been able to make the public information so sure. The little people in the military aircraft department are very shrewd and cautious, because only in this way can they stay there all the time.

Wu Luzhen knew why his eyelids were beating at the same time, and why Lan Tianwei had a bad feeling, but Zhang Shaozeng's feeling was just the opposite.
