Chapter 104 While Morrison finally enjoyed a little preferential treatment, he felt a little bitter in his heart. ◎ Smart children remember to send super fast hands to play the update faction ◎ For many years in China, they have interviewed whoever they want, how about Yuan Shikai? How is Sun Wen? Not always the first time to arrange an interview. Why is this so, without him, both of them attach great importance to the so-called international influence.

What about this Fang Jianxiong? doesn't seem to care much about these international influences, in fact, according to Morrisun's information, Fang Jianxiong is a person who attaches great importance to practical interests, and he doesn't care much about fame or anything. And this person has a good reputation in the foreign business community, and everyone who cooperates with him makes money, the most famous of which is Victor of Lihe Foreign Company, and Li Deli of Shanghai.

As Yuan Shikai's political adviser, Mo Lixun is not a person who can only talk about it. Even if he talks about it, his impact on the world is huge, especially the way European countries look at China, which will be affected by his reports.

Ay! Now that I want to raise my hand with ordinary reporters, it is a little helpless to say, who wants to see what this warlord wants to do? What I didn't expect was that such a hot news was waiting.

Raising his hand to ask a question is a subconscious move, but after being clicked, Morrison doesn't know what to ask? Many of the previous questions were diluted by the news of this release.

"Your Excellency, first of all, I would like to ask, what is the model of the new government in your mind? Second, the so-called United Autonomous Region National Defense Force was built by you, and how will this army handle its relations with the Beijing government after the new government is formed? Finally, I would like to ask. If you have decided to retire from military and political circles, why wait a year? ”

Morrison was also quick-witted, speaking slowly, and asked three questions that everyone was concerned about.

"The new government in my mind, during the tripartite talks, everyone saw it clearly. Isn't Beijing now operating in the form of parliamentary government and people's government? As for the Wehrmacht, as the name suggests. I am a proponent of nationalizing the armed forces. The danger of private soldiers is huge, and it is easy to form one warlord after another. Here I would like to remind President Yuan Shikai in Beijing that military reform must begin as soon as possible. Establishment of the General Staff. The General Logistics Department, in order to put an end to the phenomenon of private soldiers. The reason why it was quit after a year is simple. Lack of trust. This crisis of confidence is related to the usual capriciousness of President Yuan Shikai in Beijing. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that President Yuan Shikai currently lacks the strength to control many armed forces across the country. All in all, the process of "people" in China should first start with the nationalization of the armed forces. I believe that everyone has not forgotten the recent successive mutinies, such as in the north and in the south. The state violence machine qì, switching back and forth between officers and soldiers and bandits. This is where all the evils of the old military system lie. ”

Fang Jianxiong glanced at each other, and answered these three questions with a calm face. It is completely an image of worrying about the country and the people. The reporters below were all excited to listen and kept recording.

"Your Excellency, General, you have refused the appointment of a marshal from the Beijing government and have refused to go to Beijing to take up your post. Can you understand that you are unwilling to accept President Yuan Shikai's goodwill? The second question was asked by a reporter from the Tianjin Ta Kung Pao. A thirty-year-old man with a sly gaze.

Obviously, this is not a good question. Fang Jianxiong subconsciously glanced at this guy, and said in his heart that this product was here to slap his face.

"Regardless of whether President Yuan Shikai is good, the main thing is that I don't think I have enough qualifications. In fact, I have always been more enthusiastic about industry, the prosperity of a country. In the final analysis, it must be reflected in the industry. Now that I have been peacefully reunified, and I have returned to what I like, don't you think this journalist is understandable? ”

After replying, the Ta Kung Pao reporter looked embarrassed and bowed his head stupidly. The next question was the reporter from Shanghai.

"Your Excellency, General, during your Eastern Crusade, the Wehrmacht did nothing to deal with the local autumn fairly. Please, how did you do that? In addition, you have control over a series of manufacturing bureaus in Shanghai, Wuhu, Anqing, and Wuhan, so I would like to ask you how to deal with this enterprise once the new government is established. ”

"I think the first question is redundant, the army is used to defend the country. If an army cannot protect the local people, it is not worthy to be the survival of the national army. As for those enterprises, I am now transforming into a businessman, and I would be happy to get an order from the national army. Could it be that the military industrial complex in Europe and the United States is state? If the government model can learn from the West, why can't the military-industrial complex follow suit? ”

Another reporter was dumb when he was asked, and the third reporter who asked the question was actually a person himself. After standing up, he bowed before asking: "Your Excellency, I am a reporter of the Suncheon Times, and the Wehrmacht built by Your Excellency is invincible. I ask you, your Excellency, once the new Government has taken a decision on disarmament, will you be able to agree to and accept the Government's terms? ”

"As I said, I am a champion of the nationalization of the army, and an executor. However, this premise is, first of all, for the Beijing government to carry out the reform of the military system, and the new system can meet the standards of nationalizing the army. As for the departure or retention of the National Defense Forces, representatives of the National Defense Forces have now arrived in Beijing and are about to hold a multi-party discussion on the issue of the National Defense Forces. In my opinion, the Chinese government needs at least 100 infantry divisions, otherwise it will not be able to complete the task of encircling this great power very well. ”

...... uproar, everyone exclaimed, Fang Dashuai's statement was really surprising. What is the concept of a hundred infantry divisions?

The Suncheon Times reporter's face changed drastically, and he was about to ask another question, when the next reporter had already stood up.

………………………………

Three days later, at the Beijing Railway Station, a group of soldiers got off the train, and their green military uniforms showed their special identity.

The military delegation of the National Defense Forces is headed by Xu Shaojiao, deputy commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, and most of the members are young staff officers. Xu Shaojiao was ordered to come to Beijing, naturally to hold talks with Beiyang and Nanjing on the issue of the army.

Before leaving, Xu Shaojiao's order was actually one sentence: stick to the original agreement, and eight infantry divisions are the bottom line.

"General Guqing! It's been a great journey! Dressed in costume to greet Xu Shaojiao at the train station, it was actually a large number of people, led by the famous Beiyang general Wang Shizhen, followed by a big man in the Beiyang Army, Feng Guozhang, Cao Kun, Chen Guangyuan and so on.

Compared with the huā whistle of the Beiyang military uniform, the military uniform of the Wehrmacht looks much simpler. Xu Shaojiao's current military rank is lieutenant general, two gold stars shining, smiling, and steadily stepped forward to greet him.

In Yuan Shikai's mansion, Yang Du, who returned to Beijing, Zhang Yilu, the chief secretary, and his brothers Xu Shichang, Yang Shiqi, Liang Shiyi and others gathered together. The powerful Fang Jianxiong, bowing his head in the face of the pressure of foreigners, is a big victory for Beiyang. Otherwise, with the strength of Fang Jianxiong's army, the Beiyang Army would have no chance of winning.

"Yifu, the contract for the aftermath of the big loan has been signed, and you have made the first contribution." Yuan Shikai praised Liang Shiyi by name, who is currently the secretary general of the presidential office, and concurrently serves as the general manager and vice minister of finance of the Bank of Communications, and can be said to be the number one cronie. Historically, Liang Shiyi's transportation department probably started at this time, and he still has the nickname of "second president" in history. It can be seen that the power of its heyday.

The aftermath of this time and space's big borrowing has undergone some changes, and the five countries in history have become four. Britain, France, Russia and Japan jointly loaned to the Beiyang government, totaling 25 million pounds, with an interest rate of 5%, which was paid at 84%, but in fact it was close to 6%. Salt taxes and customs duties are used as collateral.

With this loan, it can be said that China has been put under a heavy shackle. It's a pity that the Beiyang government really has no money, and it needs money to deal with the aftermath, which is a helpless choice.

When the loan was in hand, Yuan Shikai's waist pole became hard. In these years, wars are fought about money, and whoever has more money is powerful. Liang Shiyi did this thing beautifully, and he was obedient and sensible. Unlike some people, known as national soldiers, they don't look at anyone.

"President, this is a matter of humble duty. The newspaper said that Fang Jianxiong would be launched in the military and political circles a year later at the latest, and the matter had gone crazy, and Fang Jianxiong had used the nationalization of the army as a threat, and the president should take countermeasures as soon as possible. "Liang Shiyi is very good at things and speaks very well, unlike Yang Du, who showed arrogance on the side, went to Hankou and came back with a stomach full of fire.

"I've brought you here today to talk about this. In another month and a half, the general election will begin. During this time, everyone has made some efforts to win the election. "Yuan Shikai is in a good mood, everything has been going well recently, and Yuan Shikai didn't take Fang Jianxiong's so-called withdrawal to heart. He doesn't think that Fang Jianxiong wants to quit, who won't sing a high note? The key is to look at the barrel of the gun and the money bag. Without these two things, Fang Jianxiong is also a green-skinned offspring.

Duan Qirui hurriedly came in, Yuan Shikai waved his hand to dismiss the meeting when he saw this, and after everyone went out, he spoke: "Zhiquan, what's the matter?" Duan Qirui stepped forward and presented a report: "In the three newly formed divisions, the selection of division commanders will be discussed with everyone, with Lu Zijia, Xu Youzheng, and Lu Jianzhang as division commanders. ”

Unlike in history, because of the more troublemakers like Fang Jianxiong, Yuan Shikai felt the lack of strength of the army, and ordered Duan Qirui to hurry up the formation and training of three infantry divisions. Of the three division commanders, two are from the Anhui family and one is from the direct line of Lu Jianzhang.

"Let's put things down, let's talk about it!" Yuan Shikai didn't express his position immediately, Duan Qirui's face sank, and he quickly returned to normalcy and said: "Fang Fuguo's representative is here, how to talk about it specifically?" ”

"What to talk about? I am the president of the government, and I have the final say on how many troops I should leave behind. This Fang Fuguo, who is full of intrigues and tricks at a young age, must not be fooled by him. Delay it for a while, wait until the election is over, and then use this time to get a good grasp of the formation and training of the army. Yuan Shikai talked about Fang Jianxiong, and he was annoyed. (To be continued......)
