Chapter 30: See Futai (II)

As a black-bellied crossing man, Fang Jianxiong has no good impression of these officials, if it weren't for the fact that he could pull the team with a pole, he wouldn't have been accompanied by a smiling face and thought of it as a snake. In the past, when I was in the unit, those who were officials were the most slippery, and they were studying and researching at every turn. In essence, it is better to have more than one thing, or this thing is not taken to heart at all.

After another thought, the teaching group is placed in Wuhu, can Feng Xu really rest assured? It seems that he thinks things too simply, Feng Xu is not Sun Baoqi, and the teacher pulls the students because the interests are at work.

Fang Otaku is a pessimist by nature, and he thinks of the worst first in everything. In this way, no matter what the outcome is, if you think of the worst in advance, you can feel that you have a profit.

Chapter 30 of the first song of the first volume sees Futai ("It's not early, it's time to say goodbye in the next, there are still people waiting outside.") Fang Jianxiong said goodbye again, Feng Xu still wanted to keep this talent to serve him. Speaking of which, the phenomenon of insufficient talent in the new army in Anhui is strictly zhòng. Fang Jianxiong's teaching team building can be regarded as saying in Feng Xu's heart.

"Fuguo, don't be in a hurry, stay and eat before leaving. Mu Yan, go out and settle down with a few people outside. "Lord Futai is not as simple as staying for dinner, but mainly has the meaning of continuing to observe. I was so happy just now, and I promised too much about things. If you think about it, there are a lot of things that are wrong. If you say it, it is not easy to recycle, and the teaching group must do it, so you can only start from somewhere else to balance this young man.

At the sound of an order, a banquet was set up in the office. looked at the subordinates who were busy with their work, and said with a smile: "Fuguo, why don't you invite the commanders of the new army to come and see you?" ”

"Forget it, I won't see them this time." Fang Jianxiong didn't want to see him, but he thought of the worst, thinking that after meeting, those guys who studied in Japan and didn't study military affairs seriously could quarrel if they didn't do it well. The officials provoked their subordinates to do it, so as to control the overall situation, and Fang Jianxiong had not seen it. I think at the beginning, the 30th chapter of the first song of the small volume saw Futai (there were only six people in the small drawing room, and the result was divided into four factions, peat!) Before the strength in his hands, Fang Jianxiong didn't think of accidents.

Feng Xu was still tempting, not as simply as Fang Jianxiong refused, it seemed that this person was very determined. Feng Xu regretted a little, he hesitated on the purchase of pistols just now, could this be one of the reasons?

"By the way, your two foreigners, why don't you come in and have a drink together?" Master Li came back and interjected with a smile. Fang Jianxiong said without thinking: "No need, they are foreigners, but first of all, my subordinates, obeying my orders is the first thing for them." ”

These words were domineering, Feng Xu and Master Li looked at each other, and they were secretly frightened in their hearts. In this Qing Dynasty, how many people dare to manipulate foreigners? It seems that what this young man said before was probably not mixed with water.

The banquet was set down, and they were seated, and after some politeness, the wine passed three rounds. Master Li, who was accompanying the guests, asked with a smile: "Fuguo, you have been in Germany for six years, tell me how strong Germany is?" Where is the strength of the German army? ”

"Mr. Mu Yan wants to hear it, so he will be arrogant. In my opinion, a strong country and a strong army can be summed up in four words, comprehensive strength. War is originally fought by the comprehensive strength of a country. The Beiyang New Army is known as the strongest in China, and it basically copied the establishment of the German army, with minor changes according to the actual situation. However, it seems to me that this is just a façade. Without its own military industry, can the training effect be good for an army that has to be trained with guns and bullets? Can the fighting power be strong? Can you still claim to be strong at home, but what about outside? Not to mention Germany, Japan is much stronger than us. And Japan, with the Germans, was just a third-rate army. The strength of the German army lies in its perfect military education system. Because new people are constantly emerging, new military ideas and tactics can also be born. This is a pamphlet on the new tactics of the German army, which I helped write when I was in Germany, and is currently only being tried out in the elite German Seventh Army stationed in Berlin. As Fang Jianxiong spoke, he casually took out a booklet from Wen Jiàn's bag and placed it on the table casually, as if he didn't see the horror in Feng Xu and Li Muyan's eyes.

"The reason for the formation of this new tactic is the development of modern weapons. The widespread deployment of rapid-fire guns, automatic weapons such as Makqin, and the old charging tactics of riflemen groups have become obsolete. The German army, which emphasized the offensive mentality, built on the development of some new weapons for this new tactic of attacking in a skirmish line. ”

Feng Xuhui was very quick and raised his hand to interrupt: "Fuguo, you said that you participated in the compilation of the new tactical manual of the German army?" Feng Xu has not seen the arrogance of foreigners, and he always judged from his own thinking angle, if this Fang Jianxiong hadn't played a huge role in the new tactics, the Germans would have been so kind to make him famous? On the other hand, although Fang Jianxiong was young, his military theories and military qualities had reached the point where he could convince the Germans. Combined with two German followers, an answer was formed.

After exchanging glances with Master Li again, the smile on Feng Xu's face became more real.

"This new manual was given to me when I was an intern in the Seventh Army, and I led two noble cadets from the German army to lead the exercises together, and when we were defending, we were in a battalion, so we discussed some ways to organize a successful defensive battle. After the exercise, we made some summaries and looked at the offensive from a defensive point of view. This summary was finally seen by Field Marshal Hindenburg and General Ludendorff, who were very interested and organized a group of people to study and compile it. After a debate by the General Staff of the German Army, it was finally decided to carry out a trial on a small scale. Fang Jianxiong looked relaxed, and seemed to think that it was not a big deal.

In fact, Fang Jianxiong was secretly proud in his heart, and took out a booklet at a critical moment to scare you to death.

It's a pity, it's the German version, but don't worry about this, it's not difficult to find a translator.

"Fuguo, can this be left to the official?" Feng Xu really opened his mouth to ask for it, Fang Jian said ambitiously, do you understand? I'm afraid I didn't find someone to translate overnight, right? That's what I want anyway.

"Yes, but my lord, this pamphlet is a secret within the German army. Because I participated in the compilation, I have such a book. This matter must not be leaked. ”

Seeing that the food was almost over, Fang Jianxiong said goodbye again, Feng Xu smiled and said: "There is no shortage of places to live in this courtyard, let's stay tonight." There are some things that the official still needs to ask for advice. "This is going to be a night talk, Fang Jianxiong doesn't care, just talk. Isn't it a matter for a science student in the 21st century to fool an old bureaucrat of the Qing Dynasty? Pick something you haven't heard of and say, huh!

There is no shortage of guest rooms in this house, and everyone else is very easy to settle in. Feng Xu led Fang Jianxiong to the study of the back house, which was a separate small courtyard, and after the maid came to serve tea, he sat down and continued to talk.

Regarding how to train soldiers, Feng Xu actually has a lot of doubts, and the previous discussion was relatively coarse, but now the topic is much more detailed. As for Master Li, he had already gone out with a booklet. He began to receive systematic military education from the army elementary school, and Fang Jianxiong's memory in this area is intact. Besides, I was fully prepared for this question before I came, and I took out a stack of manuscripts from my bag again, handed it to Feng Xu, and said: "My lord, this is a summary of some training experiences in combination with the actual situation of your country, you can take it and take a look." ”

The purpose of what I said before was to suppress Feng Xu, an old bureaucrat. Now I have found out the training experience, that is the dry goods. In light of the actual situation in China, this book starts with the structure of the new army, and almost every article is very careful.

Feng Xu didn't bother to look at it, so he pushed it back directly and said, "You just follow this directly." Feng Xu is also politically ambitious, and he also wants to make a difference in the New Army. It is even hoped that the Anhui New Army will be no worse than the Beiyang New Army.

Fang Jianxiong took the manuscript and spoke, it was really talkative, and he said it bluntly and meticulously, with vivid examples, Feng Xu could understand it even if he was a layman. So Feng Xu kept squinting his eyes and twisting his beard to listen very devotedly.

"Now that the revolutionary party is rampant, the new army, as the military force most valued by the imperial court, must guard against the infiltration of the revolutionary party. Therefore, it is necessary to set up a supervisory committee, each team must put two supervisors, one is one and one pair, the supervisor does not care about the military, is in charge of life and thought, and the monthly military salary can be received by the supervisor to Futai Yamen, and then directly issued to each soldier. In addition, in the promotion of personnel in the army, supervisors have the right of veto. This steering committee manages all the supervisors, and the adults must firmly grasp it in their hands, and select loyal officials of the imperial court to act as them. These supervisors must be honest themselves, be able to put down the shelves, and be able to penetrate deep among the soldiers. Their own cultural qualities should be excellent. Of course, what is said below is just an idea, and the specifics have to be watched by adults. When Fang Jianxiong finished saying this, Feng Xu's eyes were already completely round. For a long time, there was no good way for the revolutionary party to infiltrate the new army, but now suddenly I saw a bright light in the darkness.

If you think about it, if you grasp the payment of military salaries with one hand, you can directly bypass the officers at all levels, which is the right to grasp finance, the right to veto, and this is the right to personnel. With these two powers in hand, the revolutionary party wants to toss, can the soldiers eat food?

Feng Xu suddenly felt that his previous temptation was really wrong. If it weren't for his good attitude, he almost lost a young talent. Thinking about it carefully, since he saw Fang Jianxiong, this young man has always been like a whirlpool that can't see clearly, the more he talks, the more things he releases, and the more abilities he can come out.

"Fuguo, really don't consider staying in Anqing?" At this time, Feng Xu was completely persuaded by this young man.

Fang Jianxiong shook his head very resolutely and said, "Your Excellency must have seen that I really just want to stay in Wuhu." Actually, before I came, I only wanted to do an errand for a certain Wuhu patrol battalion. I want to think that my ability to study in Germany should not be wasted. Feng Xu was really dumbfounded when he heard this big truth!!
