Chapter 29: Unexpected Assessment (3)
This sensitive question made Song Zhewu's alcohol dissipate by more than half, and Song Zhewu felt that it was difficult to answer. The reason why such a military discipline was formulated was definitely the subconscious meaning of his later thoughts, he couldn't tell his true thoughts to this so-called literary instructor, and even now he can't say it to Xiao Guodong. took the opportunity of drinking tea to hide his uneasiness, and said calmly: "The task of the army is to protect the homeland and defend the country and stabilize the place. ”
"The Security Brigade is well-trained and well-armed, and in these two respects alone, it can be called a strong army in the country. Now that the warlords have been eliminated and the country has been unified, I don't know what Commander Song is still expanding his army, what do you think? Wen Qing decided not to give Song Zhewu time to think, and continued to ask questions in more aggressive terms.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, Xiao Guodong and Chu Feng looked surprised, they didn't expect that Wen Qing would ask Song Zhewu so nakedly, and Song Zhewu, who had figured out the key, had a calm expression. Wen Qing saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help nodding secretly in praise: "Although he is young, he has the demeanor of a general who does not change color after Mount Tai collapses in front of him, which is rare!" ”
Song Zhewu can now be sure that this Wen Qing is definitely not an ordinary instructor in the military academy, so he secretly stabilized his mind and said unhurriedly: "Instructor Wen's words are wrong, but the weapons are excellent; Well-trained, it can be called a strong army, and he is ashamed to be a martial artist. Only those who can support hundreds of thousands of troops and dominate several provinces, such as the Gui Army, the Jin Sui Army, and the Northwest Army, can be called a strong army. The security brigade is just a local army in a district, and it lives in a county in Hebei Province temporarily, and it is ordered by the political axe of Hebei Province to protect the territory and the people, and how can the appeasement place dare to call it a strong army? The instructor said: 'The warlords have been eliminated and the country has been reunified. Zhewu did not dare to agree with this. What is unity? Zhewu believes that only when the territory is complete, the factions are united, the differences are unified, and the central government decrees are accessible, can it be called unified. And in today's China, not to mention that Outer Mongolia has not yet been recovered, and the various factions are in their own ways, and the differences are very serious, even whether the central government's decree reaches the whole country is also a question, right? As for the fact that the warlords have been eliminated, this is even more ridiculous. What is Warlord? Supporting the army and respecting oneself, separating one side, and being a warlord in its own right, various factions in the country that meet these conditions abound, and there is no talk of elimination. As for why the security brigade is still expanding, I have already said something, I want to build an army that is not weaker than the great powers, and I want to defend the homeland and the country. China is a great country, and our Chinese civilization has been inherited for thousands of years and has always stood proudly in the world. However, in modern times, due to various reasons, the country has become weak and the country has been constantly degraded. Since the Meiji Restoration, the Toyo has set the tone for its expansionist policy in both political and military circles: first Ezo, then Ryukyu and Taiwan, then Korea as a springboard, first to Manchuria, and then to the whole of China, and its aggressive intentions have long been clear. Now, Ezo, Ryukyu, Taiwan, and North Korea have all succeeded, and the next step must be Manchuria. In the event of a war between China and China, with the current combat strength of the troops of various factions in the country, whether in terms of weaponry or training, they will be far inferior to the Chinese army, and they will definitely be defeated. If it only loses Manchuria, the central government still has room for concessions, and if it can't fight, it can unilaterally refuse to recognize it, just like Outer Mongolia. However, it can be said that this nation has always relied on the strong to bully the weak, and once it is fully grasped, it will inevitably gain an inch of progress, and will never stop there, and the next step will be to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China, and once the all-out war begins, there will be no retreat from the political axe, and there are only two ways to go, that is, surrender and all-out resistance. Surrender will destroy the country and extinct the species, and the inheritance of thousands of years of civilization will be cut off in our hands, and every Chinese with a conscience will not do this; Resisting to the death, with the combat strength of the current domestic army, it is inevitable that the military and civilians will suffer heavy casualties. This is the reason why the security brigade is still expanding. ”
The more Song Zhewu spoke, the more excited he became, and finally stood up and kept waving his arms excitedly.
Song Zhewu's tone and movements surprised the three people in the room! To the surprise of Xiao Guodong and Chu Feng, it was not only Song Zhewu's appalling words, but more importantly, his expression, all they had seen over the years was Song Zhewu, who was not surprised and dealt with in an orderly manner, but they had never seen Song Zhewu so excited.
To Wenqing's surprise, he had a new understanding of Song Zhewu, Song Zhewu was not only a promising young man, but also a hot-blooded young man. This young man not only has deep military attainments, but also has a strong sense of the general situation at home and abroad. It is no secret that the mainland policy of the party and the army is now believed by the overwhelming majority of the people in the party and the army that it is absolutely impossible to start an all-out war with China with the dozen or so standing divisions alone. What's more, if China says that a war starts, the Western powers and the League of Nations will never sit idly by and watch China dominate China, and even he has this kind of thought. But Song Zhewu's analysis still made him palpitate in his heart, saying that this nation cannot be judged by common sense, otherwise last year's Jinan tragedy would not have happened.
Wen Qing now thinks that he has an objective and comprehensive understanding of the Security Brigade and his masters, that is, they are a group of hot-blooded young people who are dedicated to the country, at least Song Zhewu is like this, his expression just now is by no means deliberate, but the true feelings, otherwise he Song Zhewu is a top actor.
He still needs to clarify one issue, and the most important one, that is, Song Zhewu's attitude towards the central government.
Seeing that Song Zhewu's expression had calmed down, Wen Qing slowed down his tone and said with a smile: "Wen Ge, what you just said can be said to be deafening!" Let's not say whether or not we will launch a war of aggression against China, but I deeply believe that you have your views on the domestic form. I don't know how Wenge thinks he will solve the problem."
Wen Qing no longer used Commander Song to address him, but changed to his character, this change Song Zhewu keenly felt, he knew that this so-called Wen instructor had agreed with most of his views and was a little closer to him. Regarding Wen Qing's question that no matter how he answered, he needed a clear position, Song Zhewu decided to answer it clearly, and to convey a clear message to Wen Qing -- he was different from those who supported the army and respected themselves, everything he did Song Zhewu was patriotic and family-oriented, and the most important point was that he supported the Central Committee, that is, Chairman Chiang in Nanjing.
"The current situation in China was formed by history, and at the beginning of the revolutionary political axe in Guangzhou, it was relatively weak, and if the Northern Expedition was to be carried out, it had to rely on other local forces that were inclined to him, otherwise it would not be able to survive at all. Because of the dependence on them, it was difficult to inhibit their development during the Northern Expedition, so that the tail could not be lost. Taking the Gui family as an example, the Seventh Army alone has derived more than 200,000 horses. It would be fine if all these armies were under the command of the central authorities, but now the troops of the local factions are completely equivalent to private armies, and as long as the heads of the factions do not speak, the central authorities will not be able to command them, and to put it mildly, this is completely equivalent to the warlords, or even the new warlords. This situation will inevitably lead to long-term political turmoil in the country, and all factions will not easily give up military power in order to retain their vested interests, and will do their best to expand their armies. In order to maintain its authority, the central authorities are bound to continuously increase their investment in personnel and weapons, resulting in a round of arms race in the country, which is a great waste of the country's limited manpower, material, and financial resources. ”
Wen Qing couldn't help but applaud loudly: "In Wen Ge's words, especially the word 'arms race' is used very well. ”
