Chapter 203: Preparations for War
Europe was in a mess in 1915!
For Germany, the most scarce strategic material is copper, and the world's copper-producing countries have imposed an economic blockade on Germany. The Germans had to rack their brains to get this strategic material.
As for Wang Hengyue in Sichuan, who fights whom and who represents the "justice" side has nothing to do with him. The battle in Europe in his eyes has only one thing for him:
Benefit!
A large number of material resources are constantly being shipped to Europe. Pig bristles, tung oil, cotton, and cloth are mainly supplied to the United Kingdom and France. In Wang Hengyue's opinion, no matter what you want, as long as you can put it forward, I can find ways to get it for you.
Wang Hengyue is also fully aware of the lack of copper in Germany, and in order to get copper resources, the Germans have come up with any tricks.
Whatever you want, I'll give you! The customer is God!
This was the only order that Wang Hengyue gave to Deng Yong, who was far away in Europe, that could not be disobeyed.
The secret liaison line was established, and all the copper purchased from Yunnan, the copper produced by the Dahongshan Copper Mine, began to be loaded on ships and shipped to neutral countries under the American flag, and the rest was left to the German shipowners to find a way to transport these strategic materials that were extremely precious to Germany back to China.
The successful mining of the coal mine in southern Sichuan also shocked Wang Hengyue's "investor" Ste Wang, who could not have imagined that he had come up with a temporary method in order to protect Wang Hengyue, but Wang Hengyue really discovered a coal mine with huge reserves in southern Sichuan.
This also shocked and excited the investors of Stewang and the American investment group.
Perhaps, Wang Hengyue is really favored by God
And in China, Yuan Shikai's intention to become emperor is becoming more and more obvious. "Petition groups" from all over the country entered Beijing one after another, demanding the restoration of the imperial system.
Imperialism is no longer inevitable!
Sichuan. Chen Xiao was appointed by Yuan Shikai as General Chengwu, acting for the military affairs of Sichuan, and at the same time transferred Hu Jingyi, the former governor of Sichuan, to Beijing.
Hu Jingyi tried his best to stay in the position of governor of Sichuan, but no matter how hard he tried and how he expressed his loyalty to Yuan Shikai, in the end he only became Nan Ke's dream.
Chen Eun, who sat in the position of the highest military and political governor in Sichuan, overhauled the imperial city of Chengdu and prepared to be the palace of Yuan Keding Shu.
In the same year, the "National Socialist Party of China" was secretly established in Leshan.
Wang Hengyue, the leader of the National Socialist Party, aims at "national unity, popular unity, social progress, and national self-improvement"!
The slogan of the National Socialist Party is:
"Our country, our nation!"
At the first meeting of the National Socialist Party, Wang Hengyue, leader of the National Socialist Party, said:
"Looking at the modern world powers, their internal and foreign affairs are invariably based on military affairs, preparations for war, and diplomacy as the means of war. When there is nothing to do, the military is holding each other. The so-called armed peace, the rejuvenation of the country and the war when there is something, and the so-called iron-blooded doctrine are all the same. If this is not the case, the state's power will not be stretched, the country's strength will not be solid, the state's economic policies will not be developed, and the lives and property of the people will not be protected. Since the nineteenth century, the transfer of land transportation and global transportation, which used to regard a country as the world under heaven, is now only a unit of the world. In this era, national borders are tightened, the world is indefinite, and the arbitration of all nations is fictitious. The so-called so-called strong country is actually a half-literate and half-wild group. Internally, it is open to trade and workers, and has the most civilized laws; Externally, they are even horizontal and vertical, raising troops to form grievances, and there are extremely barbaric acts."
Wang Hengyue looked at the first batch of Kuomintang members who were mostly military officers sitting there, and continued:
"A strong country must have the strength to defeat other countries. Now that it is said that China, the British are coming with warships, the French are coming with cannons, and they are coming with bayonets, how can they be called a strong country? The pain of the 21st article is vividly remembered, and the history of bullying in China is vividly vivid. Non-powerful countries cannot protect themselves. Internally, we will develop the economy by civilized means, and externally, we will respond to challenges by tough military means.
The prosperity of a country and nation can not be achieved by one generation! But when the foundation is laid and the idea of strengthening the country is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then our future generations can also complete our unfinished business."
Wang Hengyue's speech did not last long, and finally he raised his hand and said calmly:
"Our country, our nation!"
"Our country, our nation!"
All the members of the National Socialist Party stood up and spoke loudly.
The establishment of the "National Socialist Party of China" means that Wang Hengyue has taken a new step.
Build your own army, build your own party. In the chaotic years ahead, use the propaganda of the party to rally the army and more people around you.
After the founding of the National Socialist Party, Wang Hengyue quickly convened a secret meeting of officers at and above the division level of the Reading Power Mixed Division.
"Yuan Shikai's claim to be the emperor is unavoidable. The establishment of the Preparatory Security Council is just the beginning, and soon, a new emperor will appear in China! Wang Hengyue's face was solemn:
"It is imperative to protect the country and ask Yuan! There will be a big war in Sichuan, and there will be a big war in the whole country! I read the mixed division from now on, and entered the war preparations! ”
The officers sat there straight, listening to Wang Hengyue continue:
"Once Yuan Shikai is proclaimed emperor, Yunnan will inevitably move first, and if Yunnan moves, the world will move! If Yunnan moves, Sichuan will also move! Sichuan has two elite brigades in Beiyang, and Feng Yuxiang's brigade from Shaanxi is also entering Sichuan! Yunnan crusaded against Sichuan, and Sichuan crusaded against Yunnan. Where do I go from here? ”
Wang Hengyue was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:
"Protect the country and seek Yuan, unify Sichuan!"
As soon as the eight characters came out, the crowd was excited!
Protect the country and ask for Yuan, unify Sichuan!
This is the day that all the officers and officials of the Wang Hengyue Group have been waiting for for a long time!
The development of these years has allowed southern Sichuan to have the most elite army in Sichuan and the most sophisticated weapons. The officers couldn't wait for a long time, and they were eager to try, just waiting for Heng Shuai to give this order!
Wang Hengyue smiled slightly, and then his face changed again:
"I thought that if Yuan Shikai was not called the emperor, he would be defeated, but if Yuan Shikai was defeated, it did not mean that the country would be peaceful, and China would inevitably fall into a chaotic era! In order to put an end to this chaotic era, there must be a united political group, a strong military group, and this will start with the unification of Sichuan! ”
Wang Hengyue did not clearly state who this military group was, but all the officers did.
They were a little surprised, Heng Shuai's mind was not only on the unification of Sichuan!
In addition to surprise, it is more exciting and exciting.
"However, our situation is not optimistic." Wang Hengyue's expression was not easy at all: "Even if Yuan succeeds, Yunnan and Guizhou are still eyeing us." The battle to unify Sichuan will inevitably be met with resistance from each side, or even a military attack! Chief of staff! ”
Jiang Baili stood up, walked to the map and said:
"The first step in our military plan is to unify the whole of Sichuan. But before that, we will first let the Yunnan-Guizhou side and Beiyang consume, and then one will defend the Yunnan-Guizhou army, and the other will first take Yucheng, and then attack Chengdu. Strike backward and play fast with slow! The fierce battle between Yunnan and Guizhou and Beiyang will take place in the southern Sichuan area, and all departments will strictly guard the defense area without the order of the headquarters! ”
"In other words, we will never make a move until the Yungui Army and the Beiyang Army are exhausted." Wang Hengyue added.
Jiang Baili nodded slightly, and then continued:
"To complete the reunification of Sichuan, we will enter a period of rest and expansion, and the next goal is Yunnan and Guizhou. This is the hardest battle, and the battle that will decide our fate. Everyone, get ready for a tough battle! ”
At this military meeting, Wang Hengyue and Jiang Baili clearly formulated a military plan for first deciding on Sichuan, and then seizing Yunnan and Guizhou.
It was also from this military meeting that Wang Hengyue's military group made preparations for war in advance.
The mixed division began to secretly transfer troops, all the soldiers distributed live ammunition, the artillery was transported to the front line, and everything was waiting for the start of that day.
At this time, Wang Hengyue was not at ease in his heart.
In Sichuan, there are the elites of the three brigades of Beiyang, in Yunnan and Guizhou, they have to deal with the Yunnan army and the Guizhou army, and the elite of Beiyang commanded by Zhang Jingyao on the Hunan side can reach Sichuan overnight!
Politically, he must show a resolute attitude of protecting the country and courting Yuan from the moment Yuan Shikai became emperor. Militarily, we must be cautious and cautious, and there must be no chaos!
But will their enemies give themselves this chance?
"Feng Yuxiang's mixed brigade has entered Sichuan." Jiang Baili appeared beside Wang Hengyue.
"Yes." Wang Hengyue said "en".
Chen Eun organized the Qing Xiang Army, nominally to eliminate the revolutionary party, but in fact to clear the last obstacle for Yuan Shikai to become emperor. The 1st Division and the 1st Mixed Brigade of the Sichuan Army have all been dispatched, and Beiyang has also joined the ranks of Qingxiang. Zhou Jun was the commander-in-chief of Qingxiang in eastern Sichuan, Huang Hao was the commander-in-chief of Hechuan and Dazu Qingxiang, and two special zones of Nanchong and Han Army were set up, and Feng Yuxiang served as the commander-in-chief of Qingxiang in northern Sichuan. ”
Wang Hengyue pursed his mouth: "From the beginning, Beiyang has never trusted us, they have always been on guard against us, please try to solve us, we can hold on until now, we have won." Chen Yan doesn't dare to do anything to us now, but as long as he has any intentions, we will do it in advance to protect the land of southern Sichuan! ”
Jiang Baili nodded and took out a telegram: "This is a telegram from Chen Eun, who supports Yuan Shikai as emperor and wants you to sign it." How do you see we? ”
"No! Or is it that I'm sick. Wang Hengyue saw that he hadn't read the telegram, and smiled a little sarcastically: "I am the first righteous father of the revolution, how can I do such a thing as supporting the emperor!" ”
