Zhang Zuolin is worthy of being the most successful in the transformation of the land bandits, and he will turn around and leave without giving Zhao Yi a chance to stay. When he returned home, he set up a table of wine and food, and called a group of worshipping brothers, Zhang Zuolin picked up the wine glass and said to everyone: "Brothers, now the world is destined to have the surname Fang." The brother decided to go to Beijing himself to seek a future for the big guy. Don't stop everyone, I have already realized that I will take Xiaoliuzi into Beijing and be a hostage to the surnamed Fang. ”

Everyone persuaded each other, Zhang Zuolin insisted on the same, and instructed his brothers to bring the troops well, which was the capital for his comeback. After Zhang Zuolin finished explaining, he took his son Zhang Xueliang on the road the next day.

On this trip to Beijing, Zhang Zuolin only brought a platoon of guards, and there were not many of them, but they were all elites. Everyone has a ****, and all of them Chapter 137 Zhang Zuolin (below) are all good ways to open the bow left and right.

The train passed through Shanhaiguan (Yuguan) and entered the Jingyu Railway Section, when Zhang Zuolin was pondering how to continue to stay in the Northeast and lead troops, when suddenly the guard came in and said: "Division commander, look." ”

Only then did Zhang Zuolin notice that the train was temporarily stopped, and on the official road five or six meters on the side of the railway outside the window, a large group of people and horses were rolling. The green uniform, which is unique to the Wehrmacht, makes people see the difference at a glance. The Wehrmacht on the official road lined up in a neat formation, even on the march. The most eye-catching thing is the 75 mountain guns pulled by pack horses, as well as a large number of pack horses carrying infantry guns, mortars, and heavy machine guns.

This army is neatly groomed. The three armies were unstoppable as they moved forward. Zhang Zuolin stared at this qiē blankly, and his mouth couldn't close a little. A train galloped past to block the view, and when he saw clearly that the train was full of large-caliber heavy artillery, Zhang Zuolin looked even more frightened. Until the train started slowly, Zhang Zuolin sat on the seat, patted his thigh and said: "Mom Labazi, fortunately, Lao Tzu does not have a hard top." ”

Zhang Zuolin in this period, don't look at it as the most powerful faction outside the Guan, the actual strength in his hands is a 2137 Chapter Zhang Zuolin (II) Seventh Division, and there is no shortage of personnel. After squeezing out Lan Tianwei, as Zhao Erxun's most trusted general, Zhang Zuolin has no shortage of soldiers. But in terms of equipment, it cannot be compared, and Zhang Zuolin's division has only one artillery regiment. The largest caliber is a Japanese-made 75 mountain gun. Meng Enyuan and Xu Lanzhou, both with an infantry division in their hands, occupied Jilin and Heilongjiang. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, part of the Northeast New Army called Yuan Shikai was transferred to Guannei, and the rest were divided.

Needless to say, this advancing army went to Shanhaiguan. At present, it is a regiment of the original Beiyang Army that is guarding Shanhaiguan, and it has surrendered and surrendered against such a powerful force.

On the road is the Fourth Division of the National Defense Army, with division commander Li Xiaochuan concurrently serving as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, and Lin Huaichuan, commander of the fifth division, as deputy commander-in-chief. Subsequently, there were the 17th and 18th divisions drawn from Shandong, which were reorganized from the original Shandong troops combined with the Beiyang Army, and were a total of four A divisions, with the goal of Mukden, followed by the two provinces of Ji and Hei.

The Northeast is the focus of the national defense force's strategy, the Liaodong Peninsula belongs to the Japanese sphere of influence, and Fang Jianxiong takes Mukden (Shenyang) as the core to build an operational system for the defense of Japan. At this stage, although only four divisions are marching into the northeast, the troops that have been continuously reorganized will also move north. Along the line of Shenyang, Shanhaiguan and Tanggu.

The most ideal heavy industry base in China is one in the northeast and the other in the northwest. At this stage, due to road restrictions, it is too difficult for the northwest to build a heavy industry base. Moreover, the northwest is not controlled by the government for the time being, so it will have to wait for a while.

The terrain in the Northeast is terrible. In particular, Tanggu, which is a waist eye, may be attacked by Japan's sea and land at any time against the sea. In the future, World War I broke out. The Japanese landing in Shandong will inevitably detonate the Sino-Japanese war, and then the northeast will inevitably become the focus of the campaign. Fang Jianxiong knows the history, so he naturally has to lay out in advance.

In the team that advanced to the northeast, there was also a very special unit, which was composed of 9 domestically produced Flying Eagle 1 aircraft, which was designed by Feng Ru and produced domestically. With a maximum range of five hundred kilometers and an improved engine horsepower of 120, at the moment such an aircraft is not enough to be used as a bomber, it is no problem to carry a couple of mortar shells. Due to Fang Jianxiong's attention, the Sino-US cooperation team led by Zhou Yuxiang, Wuchang is developing newer engines. Unfortunately, at the current rate, it is said that it will be difficult to make a real bomber in two years.

Zhang Zuolin's trip to Beijing came to naught, and Fang Jianxiong was still inspecting work in the south. At the gate of the Ministry of National Defense, Zhang Zuolin unexpectedly encountered an old acquaintance Wu Xiangjiao, and followed Wu Xiangjiao to report to the Ministry of National Defense, as well as a group of Beiyang officers. Chen Huan, Wu Peifu, Tian Zhongyu, Jin Yunpeng.

Zhang Zuolin and Wu Xiangjiao are old acquaintances, and the relationship is not bad, Wu Xiangxiang introduced Zhang Zuolin and a cadre of people. After some conversation, I learned that these people had all returned from Wuhu, studied in Wuhu for two or three months, took an exam, and after passing the examination, they received a certificate of completion and were sent to the General Staff to report.

Zhang Zuolin went to the General Staff with him and was fortunate to meet Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff. In fact, Zhang Zuolin was discovered by Jiang Fangzhen, and everyone else had a certificate of completion, but he didn't. When I learned that Zhang Zuolin had brought his son with him, Jiang Fangzhen laughed and wrote a letter of introduction in his own handwriting, asking Zhang Zuolin to take him south to Nanjing to ask to see Fang Dashuai. Zhang Zuolin was confused, Jiang Fangzhen didn't explain why he was laughing, and Zhang Zuolin didn't dare to ask.

Zhang Zuolin witnessed these Beiyang veterans being appointed respectively, Chen Huan, Jin Yunpeng and Wu Xiangjiao were directly the division commanders, and the other two were brigade commanders. Jin Yunpeng and Wu Peifu were left in Beijing, a newly formed B Division, the other Chen Eun were sent to Shaanxi, Wu Xiangjiao was sent to Henan, and Tanaka Yu went to Shanxi.

When the group left, they were unexpectedly met Duan Qirui, the former army commander, walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, and said to Jiang Fangzhen very unceremoniously: "Baili, I want to go to Nanjing, Fang Fuguo when I don't save zài, this breath can't be swallowed, you give me a travel certificate." ”

There is a very interesting phenomenon, after Fang Jianxiong entered Beijing, a large number of former Beiyang talents were activated, which can be said to be a meritocracy. Yuan Shikai's hardcore cronies like Liang Shiyi also continue to use it, and they have been busy with the unified issuance of banknotes recently.

There is no settlement after the autumn, no retaliation, at least Fang Jianxiong's attitude towards the group in Beiyang is very good. Don't say that it is a democratic republic now, an old fox like Duan Qirui can see at a glance who is in charge today.

After being at home for a while, Duan Qirui watched the old people of Beiyang constantly being activated, and his mind was naturally alive. He is not seventy or eighty, and he can't do anything about caring for the elderly at home. But Fang Jianxiong didn't mean to come to the door, Duan Qirui couldn't hold it back, and took the initiative to come to the door with his old qualifications. Duan Qirui is very free in Beijing, but if he wants to leave Beijing, he must get the approval of the Ministry of National Defense and issue a certificate. This can't be regarded as house arrest, the main reason is that Duan Qirui's influence in Beiyang is still relatively large, if he runs out, it will be troublesome to be used by someone with a heart, and this old guy is also ambitious.

Jiang Fangzhen had great respect for Duan Qirui, invited him to sit down with a smile, and sent the others out first, letting Zhang Zuolin wait outside. When there was no one else in the office, Jiang Fangzhen said: "Old Zhi, if you want to go to Nanjing, you can do it, and I will send someone to send you there." Privately, Fuguo told me that after the decisive battle between the north and the south, Zhi Lao did not insist on fighting the Wehrmacht out of the perspective of national interests, which is admirable. In fact, Zhi Lao has this appeal, and it is estimated that some powers have also looked for Zhi Lao. ”

This was a point, Duan Qirui waved his hand disdainfully when he heard it: "This is nothing, the Japanese have no good intentions." "Duan Qirui in this time and space has no chance to encounter the so-called Dharma Protector Movement in the south, so naturally he doesn't need to ask the Japanese for loans.

"Zhi Lao, the National Defense Force wants to build a reserve system, and I plan to recommend Zhi Lao Consul to Fuguo. If Zhi Lao is willing to do this, I will give you a travel certificate. Jiang Fangzhen said very clearly, if Duan Qirui wants to lead the troops, it is impossible. However, it will not leave him with nothing to do, and the construction of the reserve is a very important matter in itself, which has a bearing on whether the national defense is stable or not.

Zhang Zuolin waited outside for a long time, Duan Qirui came out of it and beckoned: "Yuting, tomorrow we will go south together." Don't bring that guard with you, Baili has another arrangement. ”

When the two came out, a group of Beiyang veterans outside didn't leave, all waiting to greet Duan Qirui.

Seeing this, Duan Qirui smiled and said: "It's all scattered, what does it look like to get together, and I'm not afraid of people gossiping." ”

Jiangyin Fortress, four German-made 350mm howitzers, four 280mm howitzers, six 210 guns, and 36 guns of various calibers. Of course, this is all on the drawings, and there are only 150mm (including 150) caliber guns in place at the moment.

There was only one Wusongkou Fortress, and Fang Jianxiong still couldn't rest assured. The Yangtze River basin is too important for the country's economy in the future. In particular, the steel plant in Ma'anshan will have unimaginable consequences once it is lost. Therefore, Jiangyin Fortress is considered the second line of defense, which is considered a double insurance, and then there is Madang Fortress, in short, to make the Yangtze River an impregnable area.

At Xiaguan Wharf, Xu Shaojiao, commander of the Nanjing Military Region of the Great Military Region, led the crowd to wait for Fang Jianxiong's arrival.

The Nanjing Military Region is the latest to be established, and it is in charge of the military affairs of Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and the four provinces in the southeast. The strength of the army is one division of type A and ten division of type B. It can be said that Fang Jianxiong gave Xu Shaojiao enough trust, and in the face of this trust, Xu Shaojiao walked on thin ice and worked diligently, striving to improve the combat effectiveness of all units in the shortest possible time.

There is a question that Xu Shaojiao has never figured out, why Fang Jianxiong tried his best to put the main forces of the National Defense Forces in the two major military regions of Northeast China and Shandong at the meeting of the Military Committee, could it be said that the Nanjing Military Region was not important?!!!
