Part 1 Chapter 112 - Listening to the Hadith
Early this morning, Guan Xuqing had just gotten up and finished scrubbing, the director of the German Army Military Academy, and the chief of the General Staff of the German Army, Bella, with more than a dozen outstanding army officers from the Qing Dynasty to come to Germany outside the suite prepared for Guan Xuqing
Perhaps, in the past few days, Guan Xuqing will only have time to meet these generals who he himself appointed to go to Germany back then, including Feng Xianghua, the successor of Zuo Zongtang in his heart
"See the emperor" More than a dozen Qing officers wearing the uniforms of the German Army Academy knelt down in front of Guan Xuqing
"This is not in the Qing Dynasty, I will follow the customs, don't be polite when you wait, flat" Guan Xuqing alone helped Feng Xianghua, who was kneeling in the front, up
After studying in Germany for three years, this man over 40 years old has not only made great progress in military theory, but also has a lot of temper, and the irritable temper is now no longer visible, and he is always able to win the championship in various competitions in the academy, and he is also the oldest general among the officers who studied in Germany, and everyone is affectionately called Brother Feng, but isn't it, how many generals who participated in the extermination of the Taiping Army are still left? Feng Xianghua is one of them
Other Wang Feng, Fang Shizhen, Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Zhang Xun, Cao Kun, Lu Rongting, Xu Shichang, Duan Zhigui, Zhao Bingjun, etc. also got up
Guan Xuqing listened carefully to Bella's detailed introduction of her personal achievements, in fact, it was an introduction, in fact, she kept praising you for how good you are, whether it is excellent military technology or skilled theoretical knowledge, it sounds like these people are all characters who can stand alone
Individual study subjects are different, which Guan Xuqing already has a detailed division of labor before going abroad, for example, Wang Feng, who is known as Wang Luoman, came here to learn special operations, and the task after returning to China is to start organizing a special force
And Zhao Bingjun, who was later known as the "Great Qing Demon Fox", learned spy skills and management, and after he returned to China, he would have a contest of intelligence and courage with the Japanese "chrysanthemum" agency
Others are those who learn mountain warfare, those who learn plain warfare, and so on
After the introduction, Bella also left the room first, except for Wang Yu, the personal leader of the Royal Forest Army, who was next to Guan Xuqing, there were only more than ten officers left who studied abroad
"Now only our monarchs and ministers are left, you don't have to be so restrained, in the past few years, I think you have learned real talents and knowledge in Germany, and you can speak freely about the country, no matter what you say today, whether it is right or wrong, I will pardon you and other innocents," Guan Xuqing said while sitting on the sofa
At this time, Zhao Bingjun stood up first, and gave a standard military salute to this Guan Xuqing: "Your Majesty, the minister has read all kinds of books in Germany in the past few years, and has some opinions on several army battles in Europe, which may be used in the future when I fight against other countries in the Qing Dynasty."
"Oh? Tell me," Guan Xuqing said with interest
"In the previous war, the emphasis was on arranging troops, building positions with solid and permanent firepower points, strong logistics support, and reserves, such positions could not be overcome, but now, the development of artillery is quite fast, and no matter how strong the firepower point is, it may be directly destroyed by artillery that is several kilometers away or even far away, so Chen feels that today's war is better than who is hidden, and if it is well concealed, it is equivalent to being eliminated" Zhao Bingjun said unhurriedly
Guan Xuqing gently patted the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, and looked at Zhao Bingjun with satisfaction: "Bingjun, you can see this and feel very relieved, but how can the troops hide it?" Tell me about it."
Zhao Bingjun continued: "Chen learned spy skills in Germany, and only learned how to discover opponents and how to hide his identity, but how to hide a large number of troops has to ask Wang Maniac, his special forces won the first place in last year's academy competition."
"Oh? Hehe, madman Wang, don't bring this madness to Germany, let the Germans think that my officers in the Qing Dynasty are crazy and crazy" Guan Xuqing joked at Wang Feng
Wang Feng was originally a rough person, he was not very good at speaking, and his face was flushed when he was ridiculed by Zhao Bingjun and Guan Xuqing, and he didn't know how to deal with it, and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister is only proficient in the small-scale troop hiding technology of dozens of people, this is like a 50,000-strong man like Liu Junmen, I can't hide."
"Hehe, in two months, you will return to the country, you can also speak freely about the domestic army, the Qing Dynasty is not my alone, nor is it the Manchu family, it is common to our Chinese sons and daughters, how to make the Qing Dynasty strong, how to make the Qing Dynasty stand tall, how to do it" Guan Xuqing was not embarrassed Wang Feng, and said to everyone present
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live" everyone present knelt on the ground and shouted in unison
"There is no need to talk about this, you are all soldiers who have studied the theory of war in Germany, not those rotten scum court wasters in China, your father fought well in Burma, what do you think after returning home?" Guan Xuqing admired this brave and resourceful general very much
"The minister is willing to continue to be the vanguard under his father, open up territory for the emperor, and create a prosperous situation for the Qing Dynasty and all countries" Feng Xianghua is not as quick as young people like Zhao Bingjun to accept the concept, and when answering the emperor's questions, he still honestly knelt on the ground
Guan Xuqing picked up Feng Xianghua and continued: "I mean, if all the army of the Great Qing Dynasty is handed over to you, how will you arrange it? ”
"Your Majesty, how can you be a minister? The minister didn't dare," Feng Xianghua said incoherently nervously
"Don't be nervous, I didn't hand over the troops to you, I just said what would happen to you if I handed them over to you?" Guan Xuqing continued to ask with a smile
Feng Xianghua froze, thought for a moment and said: "Chen thinks that now my Qing Dynasty's armament is already world-class, and although the combat ability of individual soldiers is not as good as that of the German people, it is only ...... In addition, the generals of various departments will inevitably be suspected of being friends after leading the troops for a long time, so the minister believes that Germany should be emulated, with divisions as combat units, and a reorganized division composed of two brigades, a brigade composed of three regiments, a regiment composed of three battalions, and so on, the 50 divisions of the national standing army are enough to dominate Asia, and Germany currently has only 24 standing divisions, and Britain has only 12 standing divisions."
Guan Xuqing nodded, in fact, he had long wanted to change the current army establishment, in order to streamline the troops and take back the military power, he selected a few reliable people to hand over the military power to them, and tailored such an army establishment for them, but now there are more than 400,000 troops, and it is not safe to hand over these troops to the water, so there is a dilemma that the current training by other military departments has appeared, but this kind of troop establishment is proposed by itself, and it is not easy to overturn it and start over
"Hehe, yes, after returning to China, this matter will be handed over to you to handle, in addition, every 10 divisions as a group army, my Qing Dynasty can be divided into, the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest four group armies do not have group army generals during the non-war period, the troops are only responsible for defense, and I personally appoint group army generals during the war."
"The Emperor's Ministers Obey the Order"
"You are all the elites of the Qing Dynasty, you are all the wealth of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial court has spent such a big price for you to study abroad, not to let you return to the country to be a commando charge, but to let you use what you have learned and seen to our Qing Dynasty and make our Qing Dynasty stronger, understand?"
"Obey"
Throughout the morning, Guan Xuqing and several generals studying abroad talked about everything, Guan Xuqing also revealed the relevant plans for the war against Japan, and Wang Feng had already regretted that he had not caught up with the war with the British in Burma because he had gone to Germany to study, and he heard that there was still a war, and he was pestering him to return to China with Guan Xuqing, for fear that he would miss another war in these two months
No matter what Guan Xuqing says, he is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, if you don't take me back, I will sneak to the warship anyway, what I learned is special operations, try it on the emperor's warship first
This made Guan Xuqing interested, turned to Zhang Yu and said, "Do you have the confidence to prevent this madman from entering my cabin?" ”
Zhang Yu's face turned red, looked at the arrogant Wang Feng and said: "No matter how bad the minister is, he will swear to protect the emperor's safety, not to mention that a big living person can't fly into the emperor's cabin even if he flies."
Guan Xuqing said to Wang Feng again: "Wang Madman, I think it's better to forget Zhang Yu and their gang of Imperial Forest Army, if they really cripple you, I will spend all this money in vain."
"Your Majesty, you can take a good look, let alone these two hundred people, last year in this building in the actual combat test, 3,000 people armed, I took 50 people to break through easily, cut off the head of the other general, if I really entered the emperor's cabin, the emperor will take me back" Wang Feng said confidently
Except for Guan Xuqing and Zhang Yu, everyone else present has a very deep understanding of Wang Luozi's ability, although they don't know much about the Imperial Forest Army around the emperor, but it must be much worse than Wang Luozi, and it seems that those Royal Forest Army have been lacking training for a long time and are too old
Guan Xuqing patted the case and said: "Okay, madman Wang, I want to see your ability, okay, if you can't get in, I will punish you heavily after returning to China, if you really come in, not only will I take you back, but also let you choose the special forces you need in all the troops in the country, and let the local troops let you go, and all the troops will make way for you."
Wang Feng's eyes lit up: "Really? Your Majesty, you are not allowed to lie to people, I will go and prepare first, the day you leave Germany is the day I enter your cabin, you don't need to inform me when I will leave I will let Zhao Bingjun help me check, that kid was born a spy, and he is the best at collecting intelligence."
Zhao Bingjun glared at Wang Feng but did not speak
"Hahaha, it's interesting, I want to see what you rabbit cubs have learned in Germany, kneel," Guan Xuqing waved his hand
