Chapter 264: A New Sino-American Relationship

Watching Lu Bicheng's elegant back pacing in unhurriedly, the curves wrapped in a cheongsam unique to Chinese made the man inevitably excited. Ryans is just appreciating it, and he won't be going to spend a lot of time. This is the most enviable thing about Chinese men, and it is legal for them to marry multiple wives. Of course, foreigners must not understand what is called monogamy and polygonal concubine system. Such a complex concept as a flat wife is not clear to explain.

When Lü Bicheng knocked on the door, Fang Jianxiong was discussing with Huang Xing, who had arrived from Beijing, about forming a new infantry division and reserves. In the position of defense minister, Huang Xing was very cooperative in taking charge of the work of the reserves. At this stage, it is certainly very unrealistic to want to build a reserve system like that of Western countries.

It can only be done step by step, first to engage in a security group, as a supplementary means of emergency response. The security regiments in various localities are subordinate to the provincial military districts. In other words, the main work of the provincial military districts is to grasp the training of security regiments and the building of a reserve system. The real combat units are in charge of the General Staff Headquarters. The recruitment and training of new recruits is also a matter that the provincial military districts under the Ministry of National Defense are focusing on. Because of the expeditionary force, the strength of the domestic army has been drastically reduced, so it can only draw security regiments from various provinces, gather them in Wuhan, Shenyang, Jinan, and Nanjing, draw graduates from military academies from various places to fill in, and draw veterans from various units to form 20 divisions of the first type as quickly as possible. Of course, this A division can't be compared with the old A division, and thirty-one of the combat power may not be able to.

"The biggest difficulty is that there is a huge gap between the technical arms and experienced officers, especially officers. Fortunately, the officers of the security regiments in various places are all veterans who have retired from the regular army. Otherwise, the military qualities of these security forces will be enough to give them a headache. Huang Xing also had a headache when he talked about this, and now he is staying in the various units in the country. It is as difficult as cutting meat to regard officers as more important than anything else, and to draw officers from various units. Huang Xing now admires Fang Jianxiong's idea of running a security regiment, and after a large number of retired veterans returned to their hometowns, they were directly placed in the security regiment as low-level officers. Military academies in various localities also regularly gather these veterans for training, which is usually twice a year, ranging from 15 to 20 days each time. The veterans are experienced, and the security regiment that has been trained in the local area is also very good. It can be said that pulling together and letting experienced officers practice a little can basically come in handy.

However, this time it was to reinforce the expeditionary forces in Europe, and the current troops were far from enough. Therefore, it will take at least three months to conduct intensive training. A verbal agreement between Fang Jianxiong and French Minister Immanuel Kant. Ten divisions were added at the end of '17, and ten infantry divisions were added in the middle of '17. The equipment will be provided by Britain and France, and at the same time, Britain and France will increase their efforts to purchase the most important materials in need. In fact, Britain and France have always had a strong demand for Chinese products, and the materials produced by the Chinese are cheap although the quantity is difficult to meet the needs of Britain and France. The quality is not bad either. There are also some unique supplies, such as compressed biscuits, canned luncheon meat, and duvet clothing. These things are very popular with Britain and France. Undoubtedly, compressed biscuits and canned luncheon meat. The logistical pressure is greatly reduced. The logistics departments of Britain and France don't care whether the soldiers like to eat these or not, anyway, that's it.

"The question of officers can only be drawn from the troops, the commanders of the units. Whoever stands in the way, take it directly. Military orders are like mountains. No child's play! Fang Jianxiong's tone was stern, Huang Xing nodded in approval, and when the discussion was over, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Fang Jianxiong spoke loudly, and Lu Bicheng came in and said with a smile: "The American minister is here." ”

Fang Jianxiong stood up with a wry smile and said, "Brother Keqiang, you have to worry a lot about the formation of a new army. I have to fight with these foreign devils to fight for more benefits. ”

Huang Xing said with a smile: "This work is much more difficult than forming a new army, and others can't do it." Hahaha! Supporting the country is a capable person who works hard! ”

Fang Jianxiong sent Huang Xing to the door, Huang Xing stood up and turned around and said: "Fuguo, the ten heavy artillery regiments promised by the French must be obtained quickly." There is also the Nanjing Artillery School, and it is best to double the number of students enrolled in the second half of the year. Only 1,500 students are enrolled in a year, which is still a little less. It's really not good, let's do a crash course. ”

This problem is a headache, the current school system of Nanjing Artillery School is two years, in fact, two years is barely enough. Fang Jianxiong means three years, so that when each student graduates, the basic skills are more solid. The problem is that there is not so much time to study, and it is not the first batch of 1,500 students who have studied for a year and a half, and the Ministry of Defense has said that they will graduate early. Otherwise, the rapidly growing artillery unit would not have been enriched at all.

The crash course is for emergency purposes and may not be beneficial to army building in the long run. Fang Jianxiong hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget about the crash course, the current situation can still be handled." When the first batch of graduates comes down, they will almost be able to fill in the holes that are not in place in the new formation. ”

Huang Xing gave up at this time, in fact, Jiang Fangzhen was also against the crash course. This point resonates with Jiang Fangzhen and Fang Jianxiong. For the officer's Su zhì, it has always been a shortcoming. Especially those non-commissioned officers and students who are studying in Japan, if they are placed in Japan, they can only be used as non-commissioned officers. Many of these non-commissioned officers and students who have returned to China have become division commanders, which is also a helpless result, of course, there are also people with better personal talents, and there are also reasons for balancing all parties.

Let's put it this way, the fierce people in the history of the Republic of China have not grown up yet. A few notorious guys in history have been sent home by Fang Dashuai to farm in advance. For example, so-and-so defected to the general, and wanted to be the police chief of a certain county in his hometown. His wife Liu Dezhen's aunt is Lu Jianzhang, and she is barely a police chief because of this relationship. This kind of person with a back-to-back brain, Fang Dashuai is not worried about him leading the troops. All in all, the figures of the Northwest Military System in parallel history, some of the more famous Erwuzai, such as Han Fuyu and Shi Yousan, were either kicked into the security forces or went home to farm.

The defective general went to Wuhu to take the Lu University exam once, but his results were red in all aspects, and he left in shame. Many people were sent out of the army without knowing why, and there was no place to reason for this kind of grievance. There is no need for Fang Dashuai to explain, in short, it is easy to make excuses, either go home to serve the security forces, or go home to farm.

When Fang Jianxiong turned around, he met Lu Bicheng's eyes that were gentle and concerned. This is a very reserved woman, and it is not easy to do this. Lu Bicheng is now not just a secretary, but also Fang Dashuai's personal financial assistant. Responsible for the management of some enterprises in the United States, these enterprises in the United States, mainly food processing and machinery manufacturing, recruit a large number of overseas Chinese. Fang Jianxiong's plan, once the war is over, these machine factories will lay off workers in the name of poor management, and the trained technicians will slowly be brought back to China.

"What are you thinking?" Fang Jianxiong asked with a smile, Lu Bicheng was a little distracted, and subconsciously touched his hot face and said, "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel old." Dropping this sentence, Lu Bicheng went out with a pout.

After a while, Raines followed Lu Bicheng in, and when he saw Fang Jianxiong standing at the door, he was happy. It's finally possible to have the meaning of greeting.,I didn't have this treatment a few days ago.。

After being polite, after the tea was served, Lu Bicheng went out, and Raines was not polite, and came directly to the theme.

"Your Excellency, Mr. Wilson, President of the United States, I am pleased to convey the following remarks to Mr. President. ……。 Ryans first emphasized the importance of the U.S.-China relationship, which sounds like some diplomatic rhetoric, but it's all true. Secondly, on behalf of the U.S. government, I apologize for not being rigorous enough to supervise the execution of contracts by U.S. investors. He expressed his intention to strengthen supervision in the future and that the U.S. government is willing to increase its assistance. Finally, I mentioned the interaction between the Chinese and American militaries.

Fang Jianxiong didn't interject all the time, and listened patiently to what Raines said for ten minutes. The sincerity of the Americans is still very strong, for example, on the issue of oil refineries and optical instrument and equipment factories, the US government will operate in the form of government assistance. In the next three years, it plans to help China achieve its ability to refine 200,000 barrels of oil per year. Judging from China's current situation, this plan is still very realistic. In terms of optics, the Americans are much more cautious, and the Chinese government has stepped up efforts to cultivate this negative talent. Rather than simply asking for a factory, it leads to the topic of increasing the investment of students studying in the United States.

Raines's conversation skills were still very good, and after ten minutes of speaking, Fang Jianxiong understood what he meant. The US Government hopes that the Chinese Government will be consistent with the United States on European and other international issues in the future.

"Mr. Rains, frankly speaking, I am very satisfied with the sincerity of your government, and at the same time very touched." Fang Jianxiong finally spoke, and it was as if he didn't need money for good words. "In this way, I have a very mature idea, and China and the United States should build a new relationship on the basis of the previous friendly cooperation." Speaking of this, Fang Jianxiong paused, Ryans' eyes lit up, and his body subconsciously sat up straight. On the basis of friendship and cooperation, this is not said in vain. This shows that the tasks assigned by the government have been completed without any problems.

"So, what do you think is a new relationship?" Raines took the initiative to ask, Fang Jianxiong did not speak immediately, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs vigorously, his face was shrouded in smoke, he finished smoking a cigarette, continued another cigarette, and smoked half before he slowly spoke: "I think that the positioning of the new Sino-US relationship should focus on the global strategy. Since this is the premise, I believe that the new China-US relationship should be an all-round strategic partnership led by the United States. ”

As soon as these words came out, Raines was overjoyed, and finally impressed this warlord. Mr. Consultant is so clever that he can find the crux of the problem at a glance. Warlord Fang is indeed a dictator who attaches great importance to education, attaches great importance to national dignity, and attaches great importance to Sino-US relations. Historically, there hasn't been much military conflict between China and the United States, and that's a key factor. In the past, there was no great hatred, unlike Britain, France, Russia, and Japan.
