Chapter 60: The Spy Chief
(Hold the grass, yesterday's 59 chapters were sent twice, and they have been changed.) )
Nanyuan on the outskirts of Beijing, the training ground of the Praetorian Guard.
On a small hillside not far from the barracks, several people rode their horses and watched the military training through high-magnification military binoculars.
Among these people, in addition to the accompanying military attachés, standing at the forefront were the three giants of the Praetorian Guard, Zaitao, Yulang, and Ye Kai.
Today, the reason why they gathered here was because they were invited by Ye Kai to observe the training and tactical drills of the Praetorian Guards.
Through the binoculars, they can clearly watch the recruits' every move, good vision, comfortable weather, and let them observe without any effort.
In the distance, at the training ground, orderly trenches appeared on the surface, and they varied according to the depth of the terrain. Although in modern warfare, the trench advance has been completely outdated, withdrawn from the stage of history, but in the current era, it is extremely advanced, in the Sino-Japanese war, it is this small tactic that the Chinese army has suffered a lot, for which it has paid a great number of casualties, the military thinking of the 17th century and the 20th century, the result has to be embarrassing.
Of course, these trenches were not dug by the combat soldiers themselves, but were completed by the engineers in the Praetorian Guard, and the reason why Ye Kai arranged them this way was to let the troops reasonably distribute their physical strength and use all the energy of the combat soldiers on the battlefield to the greatest extent.
In each trench, there are also auxiliary arms such as medical soldiers and service soldiers, and only from the perspective of later generations, can we deeply and accurately understand the importance of auxiliary arms, in the Pacific theater of World War II, the US army can defeat the fanatical bushido seppuku army, to a large extent, it is by virtue of this almost perfect logistics system, even in the most difficult Vietnam War quagmire, military canned food can also be done by two people.
The Praetorian Guard, the army of the early 20 th century, was completely armed with the ideas of the 21 st century, and the combination of the two was naturally like a tiger with wings.
"Lord Liang's set of tactics looks rare."
Looking at the neat military team in the distance, Yu Lang had a feeling that his eyes were bright, and he couldn't help but praise.
"Haha, Lambelle takes a slow look and looks slowly, there are more new tactics in the future." Ye Kai smiled heartily, and it was not in vain that he had spent many days of hard work.
As the former leader of the old-style army, Yu Lang once had an uninterested attitude towards the tactics of the new army, and was even full of contempt for foreign military theories, but what he had seen and heard in the past few days not only made him change his outlook greatly, but also admired many of Ye Kai's ideas in his heart.
"Taubel, you studied in Germany, our Praetorian Guard and the German army, which is better or worse?" Yu Lang asked Zaitao on the side.
"In my opinion, it's not too much." Zaitao also smiled lightly, the Praetorian Guard originally had a strong German blood, and such a longitudinal comparison was not unreasonable.
"The German army is also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and I think our Praetorian Guard can also be ranked in the top three." After a while, Zaitao turned around and said to Ye Kaiyulang and others that the German army in the nineteenth century was known as the lion of the European continent, and Zaitao gave such an evaluation.
Ye Kai and the others looked at each other and smiled, of course, in his heart, the weight of this Praetorian Guard is far more than this, concentrating all the resources of the huge empire, this Praetorian Guard army must at least rank first in the world, especially in the face of those ill-intentioned Japanese and Russian armies, it must have the advantage of crushing.
"Lord Liang, you have made great contributions to the training of the Praetorian Guards these days." After a moment, Yu Lang suddenly said.
"Lord Lang has won the award, if there is no Langbel, Taobel, the Praetorian Guard will not be able to progress quickly." Hearing Yu Lang's praise, Ye Kai, of course, was not complacent, broke the hydrangea in half, and sent it back.
"Haha"
In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, a tactical drill came to an end, Yu Lang and Zaitao rode back to the barracks, and only Ye Kai remained on the hillside.
And not long after they left, one of the military attachés who traveled behind them stepped forward and stood side by side with Ye Kai.
His stature is not high, his face can still be young, and his skin is a little dark after many days of wind and sun, which also adds a bit of ability, however, what is surprising is that his military uniform is no different from that of an ordinary soldier, and the military badge on his shoulder also shows that he is the kind of ordinary soldier without any rank, but it is such two people with disparate identities who actually stand together.
Of course, this is Ye Kai's arrangement, in his eyes, this man of the wind and rain in the future needs to be sharpened by his side, which is a necessary condition for becoming a sharp blade.
Recently, Jiang Zhiqing has actually become Ye Kai's adjutant, and he has been by his side all day and night, and after a few days, he has roughly figured out Ye Kai's temperament, and the two have developed a necessary tacit understanding.
"The things that the principal handed over to the students have been done, and there is no change in those people, and they have been training honestly during this time." Jiang Zhiqing reported in an orderly manner.
"It's hard for you, these are your classmates."
Ye Kai sighed and said, it was not that he was suspicious by nature and did not trust those new officers, but that the lesson of blood made him have to pay attention.
In this turbulent period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, people's hearts are really hard to guess, as far as the Beiyang Army is concerned, it seems to be monolithic, but as soon as Yuan Shikai died, it fell apart in an instant, and became a weapon in the hands of warlords to fight for power and profit.
"Doing things for the principal, the students have nothing else to think about!" Jiang Zhiqing's face was straight, and he gave a standard military salute.
Ye Kai waved his hand, signaling that the latter didn't need to be so formal, "There is no one else here, so there is no need to salute." ”
"Jie-shi, you can report to the Military Advisory Office tomorrow, and you don't have to do the rest." Half a day later, Ye Kai suddenly commanded.
"Principal"
Jiang Zhiqing was a little surprised at first when he heard Ye Kai's arrangement to end the surveillance mission early, but on the other hand, this also proved Ye Kai's trust in him.
"After you take office, you must step up the establishment of the Special Security Bureau, and if you have anything, you can directly contact Shu Qing'a, the director of the Intelligence Department, and he will give you all the necessary help." Ye Kai then said.
"Thank you, Headmaster"
"Jie-Shi, the security bureau is a very important matter, you must be conscientious, the recruited personnel must be strictly selected, and you must be loyal and available." Speaking of this, Ye Kai turned his head to the future spy leader, and said with a serious look in his eyes: "Remember, there are not many people, but loyalty." ”
"Students understand!" Jiang Zhiqing lifted his breath and replied respectfully.
"Let's go down"
After Jiang Zhiqing left, Ye Kai stood alone on the hillside for a long time, looking far away, but it would make all the male creatures spontaneously have a heroic aura, and at this moment, he spurred the horse to gallop.
"I hope that there will be no war in the world, the people will live in peace, and the glory of China will last for hundreds of millions of years."
Looking up to the sky and sighing, he can only say these words to himself, everything he does, which one is not for this? But will others believe it?
There are some things that language is pale after all, just do it.
"Han Chun'er should be here today, right?"
Half a day later, he suddenly remembered something, stopped the horse's hooves, and muttered.
