Chapter Ninety-Four: Earn One More Old
At the end of May 1932, Mu Han, who was already on his way back to the headquarters of Rehe Wolongshan, received a letter from William, the head of the German Dragon Shadow Group of the Dragon Guard Army. Daniels' Cipher.
"Haha! It's really great! Mu Han, who learned that Ye Ting had gotten up and returned to China, was in a good mood and shouted excitedly.
"What can make the commander-in-chief so happy?" Qiao Yunpeng asked softly. Sun Liren on the side also had an expression of wanting to know.
"Our Dragon Guard Army has finally ushered in a great god-level figure!" Mu Han couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
"Great god-level figures?" Qiao Yunpeng and Sun Liren were both suspicious.
"Oh!" Mu Han's face was slightly red, knowing that it was incomprehensible that he had said the online title of the later generations, so he hurriedly said: "The commander of the Iron Army during the Northern Expedition, can't he be called a great god?" ”
"What? It's Ye Xun, Ye Xiyi! Could it be that he is willing to join our Dragon Guard? Sun Liren had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Not bad!" Mu Han nodded confidently.
"The commander-in-chief is really a master! Such a great sage came to vote, and great things can be done! Knowing the exact news, Sun Liren was also excited. After all, compared with the world-famous Tie Shuai, Sun Liren at this time can only be regarded as an out-and-out junior.
"Perhaps, there are even bigger surprises waiting for us!" Mu Han said with a yearning expression.
"My commander-in-chief, the shock you have brought is simply incomparable! If there's anything else, just tell me! Otherwise, our hearts won't be able to bear it! Sun Liren said a little speechlessly.
"We are going north this time, and we are going to the capital to meet a big man!" Mu Han Zhengse said.
"Commander-in-chief! The person you can call a big man must be a person who has been in the limelight! If I guessed correctly, it should be the jade handsome Wu Peifu! Sun Liren asked softly.
"Brother Fumin, don't be so smart and direct, okay? Let's just say you've been in the U.S. for five years, but how come you haven't noticed any American humor? Mu Han said with a smile.
"Hahaha!" In the laughter, everyone entered the Xizhi Gate of the capital.
In fact, Mu Han still admires this direct warlord who has received mixed reviews in later generations, and has always been very concerned. Wu Peifu's four principles of not accepting concubines, not accumulating public funds, not keeping foreigners, and not taking concessions can be said to be an alternative among all warlords in the Republic of China.
When the Leima Incident occurred last year, Mu Han had the idea of inviting Wu Peifu to join the Long Wei Army. However, when he learned that Wu Peifu was ready to contact the generals of the five provinces of Gansu, Shu, Qing, Ning, and Xin to jointly resist Japan and secretly establish An*, he still gave up. After all, the Dragon Guard still did not make an official appearance at that time. Not a little convincing and attractive!
Later, under the disintegration of Lao Jiang, Wu Peifu's measures came to naught again, and he returned to the capital gloomily and settled in Shijin Garden Hutong in the west of Dongcheng District.
Mu Han and his entourage came to a nondescript courtyard in the Assorted Garden Hutong and stopped.
Looking at the somewhat depressed and dilapidated courtyard in front of him, Mu Han sighed with emotion, "Yushuai is really a model for my generation of soldiers!" Yun Peng, go knock on the door! ”。
After a short time, a burly butler with strong military traces opened the courtyard door.
Looking at the strong and strong group, the housekeeper did not panic in the slightest, and said coldly: "Who is coming?" What is it? ”
Mu Han got out of a military vehicle, walked a few steps forward and said, "Annoying, Long Wei Jun Mu Han came to visit Yushuai!" After speaking, Mu Han bowed deeply to the housekeeper.
"What? You are Mu Han of the anti-Japanese government in the northwest? The butler's face was filled with great astonishment.
"It's down there!" Mu Han said loudly.
"Wait! I'm going to tell the master! The butler returned the salute with his hands clenched into fists, then turned and hurried back to the courtyard.
After a short time, an elderly man in good spirits, with eyes like electricity and frosty temples already shining with frost, accompanied by the housekeeper and two guards, came to the gate of the courtyard.
I saw the old man, clasping his hands into fists, and said to Mu Han and the others: "Old Wu Ziyu, welcome to the cold house!" ”
Mu Han leaned over to support Wu Peifu and said respectfully: "Yushuai, don't torture me and other juniors!" ”
"You are Mu Han of the Dragon Guard?" Wu Peifu said with some excitement.
"It's the junior!" Mu Han said respectfully.
"Good! Good! Come to the living room and talk! Wu Peifu held Mu Handi's hand tightly, turned around and walked inside.
After everyone sat down again in the living room, Wu Peifu, who has always been strict in governing the army and quite frugal in daily life, asked the housekeeper to present this spring's pre-rain dragon well, and then said: "Chairman Mu is really my Z Hua elite, and the first battle in Fengtian has greatly increased my prestige as a Z people!" Wu admires! ”
"Yu Shuai is polite, although we fought a battle with Little Japan, but because of lack of strength, we had to retreat to the northwest!" Mu Han said with a little regret.
"Isn't that the uncompetitive little sixth son finished? If he had the courage of President Muslim, would little Japan be able to occupy the three eastern provinces? ”
"Yushuai has won the award! I admire Yushuai's deeds! Yu Shuai was able to refuse the funding of foreign powers many times, when he saw through their wolf ambitions. Under the temptation of politics and military power, Yushuai can deal with it calmly, and he is really a model for my generation! Mu Han said sincerely.
"Well, let's stop flattering each other! I don't know what President Mu has to say when he comes this time! Wu Peifu waved his hand slightly, and said with a straight face.
"Now that the national crisis is at hand, resisting foreign aggression is the top priority of our generation of soldiers. However, the forces of all parties in the country were tilting against each other, and Lao Chiang had no intention of resisting Japan at all. Therefore, Mu Han was not talented and established the Northwest Anti-Japanese Government. If Yushuai doesn't think Mu Han is abrupt, and the position of deputy commander-in-chief of the Dragon Guard Army is hopefully condescending. Mu Han got straight to the point and got straight to the point.
Wu Peifu was stunned, he really didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so straightforward. In fact, as soon as Mu Han came, Wu Peifu knew the thoughts of this young superior. Don't look at Mu Han's high position, but his qualifications are still shallow, and politically he is not enough to compare with the Kuomintang with the father of the Republic of China. Wu Peifu originally thought that Mu Han would come up with the position of vice chairman of the government and ask him to support the scene. But he never thought that Mu Han took a fancy to his military ability and directly assumed the position of the second-in-command of the Dragon Guard.
Wu Peifu frowned and thought for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Wu just heard that Chairman Mu took most of Zhang Xiaoliuzi's family wealth in exchange for the four provinces of Ning, Gansu, Sui, and Chacha, as well as parts of Rehe, as well as the port of Qinhuangdao, that he did not really control. I just don't know how many soldiers and horses I have? ”
Mu Han also looked at this former direct warlord, and then said softly: "The Dragon Guard Army has more than 200,000 regular troops, including 2,000 artillery pieces of various types, 700 tanks and armored combat vehicles, and 800 aircraft of various types. There are also more than 100 military enterprises of various types, which can produce various types of guns annually? 50,000 pieces, 500 artillery pieces, 200 tanks and various combat vehicles, and 100 aircraft! ”
"What?" Except for Mu Han's dragon service group, together with Sun Liren, everyone was stunned! What is this concept? Maybe the strength of the Dragon Guard Army is not the largest among all forces in the country, but after the battle of Mukden, its combat power is definitely the best! What is even more shocking is that the Dragon Guard Army has established its own military industrial system, and in addition to conventional guns, it can even produce strategic weapons such as aircraft and tanks. This is absolutely unique in the country now.
Sun Liren, who came back to his senses first, suddenly opened his mouth and said: "No wonder the commander-in-chief dares to easily promise me to set up an armored division!" It turns out that the Dragon Guard can produce tanks on their own! ”
"Cut! What's this! We also have our own military scientific research institute! Even the Germans are working with us. As long as the commander-in-chief gives an order, more advanced weapons can also be produced quickly. Qiao Yunpeng said proudly.
Mu Han glared at Qiao Yunpeng fiercely, Qiao Yunpeng stuck out his tongue and stood behind him.
"Chairman Mu, what a terrible thing to do! I think with the strength of the Dragon Guard, it won't be long before I can dominate the whole country! Wu Peifu said with emotion.
"Yu Shuai's words are wrong!" Mu Han stood up, walked to a world map, picked up a baton, and gestured on the northern, western and southern islands of country Z's territory and said, "Say a crazy word! The three melons and two dates in China, I really didn't pay attention to them. Fighting for territory with various domestic forces will ultimately lose the national strength and national strength of country Z. In the past 100 years, our great country has suffered humiliation, and how many lands have fallen to barbarians? My generation of boys, since they were born in troubled times, they should open up the territory and lay a good foundation for future generations! ”
After Mu Han finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Wu Peifu, and continued to shout in a deep voice: "Looking at Manchuria in the north, the wind and waves in the Bohai Sea are fierce. I think back then, Jijiang was Liaoshen, and the people were happy. Set up a fence in front of Changbai Mountain, Leh City on the bank of the Heilongjiang River, and now the Japanese are in a vertical and horizontal position, and the wind and clouds are evil! Jiawu service, land cutting; Jiachen service, sovereignty falls. The rivers and mountains are the same, and the Yi people are scattered. He was ordered to raise the brigade and restore the old mountains and rivers in the first war, but he returned to Yong Pengshan and read the Mida. Yushuai's Manjianghong made Mu Han excited. In order to express his heart, Mu Han presented a song to please Yu Shuai Yazheng! ”
After speaking, Mu Han glared at Qiao Yunpeng, "Yunpeng, sing the military song of our Dragon Guard Army to Yushuai!" ”
"Yes!" Qiao Yunpeng nodded fiercely, and then sang in a loud voice:
"The wolf smoke rises and the country looks north
The dragon curled the horse, and the sword qi was like frost
The heart is like the Yellow River
Who can fight in 20 years
Hatred is mad and the knife is headed
How many siblings are buried in their bones
What a pity to die to repay the family and country
I sighed and was even more speechless, full of blood and tears
The horseshoe goes south and people look north
People look north at the grass and yellow dust
I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory
The dignified Z country wants to give way to the Quartet
Congratulations"
When Qiao Yunpeng sang the chorus, the accompanying soldiers of the Dragon Attendant Regiment also sang loudly. The magnificent and passionate melody, full of sincere emotions, made everyone in the audience surging and enthusiastic.
"Good! Good! Good! I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory, and the dignified Z country will let the Quartet come to congratulate! President Mu has a heart for the community. Since I look up to Wu Ziyu so much, I will give up this old bone and do my best for the Dragon Guard Army and the anti-Japanese plan. From now on, I, Wu Ziyu, am willing to defend the territory under the command of Chairman Mu and reproduce my prosperous era! Wu Peifu stood up excitedly and said.
"Mu Han, thank you Yu Shuai for your love." Mu Han stood up abruptly and saluted with a dignified military salute.
"Butler! Prepare for the feast! Today, Wu is going to talk to Chairman Mu about wine! Wu Peifu said excitedly.
Soon, a banquet with the flavor of Beijing was prepared. Everyone was seated separately.
"Ambition is not old, no ambition is a hundred years old. President Mu, although I am dozens of years older than you, compared with everything you have done for the country and the nation now, most of my life has been in vain. Come, this first glass of wine, I salute you! Wu Peifu picked up his glass and said.
"Don't dare to be! Dezhi should be the rain of the sky, and the relationship must have the style of the ancients! Yu Shuai's name couplet is well written! In particular, Yu Shuai said in an interview with Ta Kung Pao reporters: Forever settle internal strife, work with one heart and one mind, concentrate forces, resist foreign insults together, and put state affairs first! It can be seen that Yushuai has a patriotic heart! Mu Han admires! I respect you! Mu Han hurriedly stood up and said with his wine glass.
"Haha! Chairman Mu has worked hard for Wu! Come on, don't say all those vain words! Dry! ”
"!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.
After a few rounds of drinking, everyone became familiar with each other and opened up the conversation box.
"Chairman Mu, Wu is a straightforward person! As far as I know, the current deployment of the Dragon Guard Army is mainly divided into two major parts, one is the Rehe and Chahar lines, and its intention is very obvious, which is to prevent small Japan from advancing westward and southward; One is the Gansu and Ningsui regions, and from the point of view of the garrison, there is a move to guard against the Russians, and at the same time, it also has the meaning of taking the two provinces of Qingdao and Xin. Now that Little Japan has taken advantage of it, it will slowly digest the fruits of the war! In a short period of time, there will be no more troops! I don't know in which direction the military operation of President Muslim's lower part is developing! Wu Peifu said directly.
Mu Han was slightly shocked in his heart, and said secretly: He is worthy of being a battle-hardened old handsome, and he can see through his own defense at a glance! So he said slowly: "Yu Shuai is really sharp-eyed!" After fighting with the Japanese, Mu Han still felt that his strength was insufficient! Otherwise, they will not be evacuated from Mukden! From this point of view, I am not much better than Zhang Shaoshuai! The next step of our army is mainly to develop its own strength and train troops, and the specific battle plan will be decided by Yu Shuai when the time comes!
"Huh! How can he, Zhang Xiaoliuzi, be compared with Chairman Mu! If it weren't for the constraints of domestic factors, Chairman Mu would have driven all the troops in the northwest, and the little devils might not have been able to occupy the three eastern provinces! Wu Peifu said loudly.
"Yu Shuai is raised! Now it is most important for us to improve our strength! After all, our enemies are very strong! Mu Han said in a deep voice.
"Yes, just from the current situation, there are not only Dongying Japanese Kou eyeing the tiger! Even more evil Soviet Russians are also coveting our land from time to time! It's not easy! Besides, there are many wars in the country, and the situation is really bad! Wu Peifu said with a worried face.
"Yes! We also need time to accumulate and precipitate. Now that the Dragon Guard is more than enough to defend and not aggressive, we are ready to expand our forces again on the basis of the present. But I am dissatisfied with Yushuai and Brother Fumin, I went out this time just to be handsome and talented! Although the Long Wei Army has also established its own military command training system, the distant water does not quench the thirst of the near! We've got a few more big fights next year! Mu Han said in a low voice.
"What? What did the commander-in-chief say about this? Wu Peifu and Sun Liren widened their eyes at the same time.
"Isn't it the ambition of the little Japanese wolf? In order to completely make Manchuria truly their territory, little Japan will definitely attack further south to deter Beijing and Tianjin, in exchange for their complete control of the three eastern provinces! Mu Han said calmly.
"Think beautifully! The three eastern provinces will always be the territory of country Z, and little Japan is simply wishful thinking! Commander-in-chief, I demand that the armored division be stationed in the area of Chahar and Rehe, if the little devil really dares to hand over his claws again, I will definitely chop it up! Sun Liren said murderously.
"Yes, it's a big deal that I, Wu Ziyu, have more than 100 catties, and if I explain this, I will definitely prevent the Japanese from making trouble again!" Wu Peifu also said sharply.
"Good! As long as we work together, we will fight together! It's not a problem to put down the Japanese Bandits! Mu Han said excitedly. Dragon Purple Stopper
