Chapter 6 frames a past and that's it

In fact, the Beiyang Army is not so wasteful, of course they also know the truth of the speed of soldiers. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, China's problems are not just China's problems, but have an unclear relationship with the great powers.

Because of the war that took place in China last year, the great powers now look down on the Chinese. The Germans did not seek Tsingtao as their colony in China, as they did in history, and they understood that if they could not maintain an army of more than 100,000 men on Chinese mainland, the so-called colony could be wiped out at any time.

The Germans did not share a border with China like Russia or Japan, and only madmen and madmen could maintain such a large army in an enclave thousands of miles away. The current German Emperor Wilhelm II, although considered by many to be intellectually problematic, was not to the level of a madman and a madman.

Even if the second-generation William was crazy, the conservative Junker officers would have made him laugh at the impractical idea of toothpaste. In fact, after the end of last year's war, Wilhelm II had a new idea - to create a grand alliance of Germany, China, and the United States.

It has to be said that this is a very strategic plan, and if it can be completed, with the industrial technology of Germany and the resource population of the United States and China, this alliance will not take ten years to tear the world empire built by the British into pieces.

But there are many smart people in this world, and the British Isles are rich in politicians who are famous for playing with power. How could they allow such an alliance to be built against Britain at first glance?

During this period, the countries joined forces and used all kinds of means for their own interests, to the amazement of onlookers. In the end, when the great powers reached a consensus of intent, a long time had passed, so long that Handan was almost impatient.

The British ensured that the Russians and the Japanese would not take the opportunity to attack the territory of the Beiyang Army when the Beiyang Army provoked a war. At the same time, they sold more rifles and artillery to the Beiyang Army. In last year's battles, it has been proven that heavy artillery can effectively suppress the rapid-fire guns of the Handan side.

The Japanese were originally watching from the sidelines, but they were not yet the ones who had become great powers after the Russo-Japanese War, and they only dared to wait for the powers to reach a consensus before they came out to express their position. The previous Three Kingdoms Intervention and Liao Incident disgusted these Orientals, and the feelings allowed you white ghost animals to circle the colonies everywhere, and we were not allowed to fight the Japanese samurai to eat meat, right?

At this time, Li Chun's troops dared to enter the demilitarized zone. Before that, he had been in the deep ditch and high base. The tactics of the Beiyang Army are not very simple, that is, left, center, right. It is enough for both sides to act as a strategy to ensure that they will not be attacked by the enemy. The middle lane is the main direction of attack, and the one who commands the entire huge middle route army is Wang Shizhen, who is known as the dragon of the Beiyang.

In Wang Shizhen's Hu Xia, it was Cao Kun, Wu Fengling, Wu Changchun, Li Chun, Jin Yunpeng, Duan Zhigui, Fu Liangzuo, Ni Sichong and other Beiyang generals. These people are all famous Beiyang warlords in later generations, and in this time and space, they have not yet reached their peak era.

At the same time, these people have not yet become as corrupt as they did later. Although they are greedy for money and lustful, they still maintain the most basic qualities of soldiers.

Because Yuan Shikai needed to sit in Beijing, the commander of the Middle Route Army was Wang Shizhen. For this Beiyang old-timer, everyone is still convinced. Even if he had something in his heart, he still maintained his apparent obedience. As for the other two of the three heroes of Beiyang, Duan Qirui was sitting on a cold bench in the Army University, and Feng Guozhang was sent to Xuzhou, saying that he wanted to be optimistic about the flanks of the army in the Battle of Hebei.

In fact, Yuan Shikai didn't want Feng Guozhang's power and influence to be too inflated, especially when Duan Qirui was suppressed. Why can Wang Shizhen be trusted by Yuan Shikai all the time? It is because he has handed over all the military power, and there is no basic force in his hands.

Thinking of these things that he didn't have, Wang Shizhen started the first combat meeting. There were not many people attending the meeting, only ten division commanders, six mixed brigade commanders, plus some staff officers and intelligence officers, a total of more than 20 people. In the middle of the hall, a large sand table was white.

A sketchy model shows the mountains, rivers, and garrisons of both sides. Wang Shizhen swept the eldest son Yuan Keding, who was sitting at the front and trying to dress up a little more spiritually, and Cai Yi, who was standing behind him with a real spirit, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the years were unforgiving, and the current rising stars were one after another. These old-timers are about to be filmed dead on the beach.

Wang Shizhen's tactics are also very simple, that is, a line of flat pushing, relying on the superiority of troops and equipment to crush the opposite side to death, not giving them a little room to resist.

This approach is still more suitable for the current situation in Hebei, if they have so much ammunition and time. After mobilization, the daily maintenance cost of such an army is not a small number. However, Wang Shizhen is the most cautious, and before he can figure out the balance of forces between the enemy and us, he would rather consume more shells.

Yuan Keding was very dissatisfied with this, and in his opinion, his model division, that is, the newly formed 11th Division, was the entire Beiyang Army. No, it should be said that it is the most capable army in the whole of China. Since his subordinates are so capable of fighting, he should let this army take on more tasks, so that he can remove the title of "acting" on his head and become a real commander with real power.

Although he has unlimited wind pipes in the capital, when you are the old-timers in Beiyang, they still look down on him, and they all think that he relied on the relationship of the old man (Yuan Shikai) to become the acting division commander. Hmph, these guys are just dogs and horses, what kind of ability are generals? It's still good for Songpo to say, my ability to do this will be far above these old things!

Cai Ye was not very satisfied with Wang Shizhen's arrangement. He Cai Yi and Cai Songpo are real doers, and they are full of military theories, and in terms of character and talent alone, there are really few people in Beiyang who are stronger than him. However, although he has learned a lot of modern military theories, he is still a traditional Chinese soldier, who pays attention to the five virtues of generals, and is not good at speaking ill of his superiors.

He saw at a glance the advantages and disadvantages of Wang Shizhen's tactical arrangement, and this was indeed able to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. However, the first principle of warfare is to attack the weak with the strong and the outnumbered with the many. If you push flat on the first line, you will lose the opportunity to concentrate your forces to annihilate the enemy, but you will continue to suffer from the enemy's blows.

Wang Shizhen is not an unlearned, dissolute and invisible person like Yuan Keding, so where is his real intention in doing so? (To be continued.) )
