Chapter 242: The opening of the Central Plains War and the test of the gun

Finally, after nearly a month of this telegram war, Jiang Zhongzheng showed the killer features of "the prime minister's successor" and "the central government's mandate", denying the legitimacy of the other party's existence and claiming to "sweep away the rebellion for the party-state"! The 57 generals of the original second, third, and fourth group armies headed by Lu Zhonglin, Shang Zhen, and Huang Shaohong jointly sent a telegram to the whole country to condemn Chiang, enumerating Chiang's ten major crimes, thinking that it was public opinion in the anti-Chiang war!

Subsequently, 57 generals, including Lu Zhonglin, Shang Zhen, and Huang Shaohong, jointly sent a telegram supporting Yan Xishan as commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force of the Republic of China, and Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Xueliang, and Li Zongren as deputy commanders-in-chief.

Nearly two months after the telegram debate between Yan and Chiang, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, and Li Zongren were sent telegrams to take up the posts of commander-in-chief and deputy commander. After nearly two months of telegraph controversy, Yan Xishan made the last verbal and written attack on Jiang Zhongzheng in his inaugural telegram before the sword and soldier met. The message reads:

Unfortunately for the party-state, the Third National Congress appointed more than half of the delegates, resulting in the party whose power is above all else becoming the embodiment of one person, ** dictatorship, doing whatever it wants, and all political mistakes, its responsibility is attributed to the party, so that bribery is public, the people dare not reprimand, bandits are all over the country, and the government does not care!

Raising huge sums of money and borrowing huge debts is nothing more than a means of usurpation; Zhang Tart's assassination is nothing more than a private display of his usurpation. The party is not the party, the government is not the government, the country is not the country, and the people are not happy. I am still forced to use force to help him eradicate dissidents!

I can't bear it, and if I refuse it, I will be angry. After several remarks, it was impossible to save it, so he sent a special steaming power and went to the field together, and the bandits used it to save the party, save the country and save the people, and so they saved Jiang's also. In the end, he did not follow, rethinking his own wilderness, and urging him to reflect. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tong went to the field of electricity, and the fish came to ask the master of sin, and the bandit could not make it conscious, but went to the field and attracted it to insult!

As a result, public opinion was boiling, and the army and the people insisted on staying, and they asked for the army, navy, and air force headquarters to be organized immediately to fight against them. He still made an appointment with the army and the people, forbearance and forbearance, and waited for him to come to his senses, and if he was still obsessed, he would take office again. As a last resort, at the urging of the Party members and the request of the military and the people, I hereby swear in on April 1, 19th year of the Republic of China, to take the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force of the Republic of China, to command all armies, and to divide the Central Plains in order to save the Party and the country!

In ancient times, there were those who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the whole country will rise up and crusade against it, and now there are those who coerce the party department to make a fortune, and the people of the whole country should also rise up and crusade against it. Yan Xishan East Seal!

But is Jiang Zhongzheng a simple person?! Of course not, Jiang Zhongzheng has already prepared the "Letter to the Soldiers for the Crusade against Yan Feng and the Two Rebellions".

This order.

After the telegram and wanted warrants were issued, the troops that had been in contact with each other for several months finally went crazy!

The organizational system and operational strategy of the coalition forces against Chiang were as follows: first, Yan Xishan was appointed commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force of the Republic of China, Feng Yuxiang and Li Zongren were appointed deputy commanders-in-chief, and Liu Ji was appointed chief of general staff; The Gui Army was the first front army, led by Li Zongren, and sent troops to Hunan and marched to Wuhan; The Northwest Army, with the Second Front Army, led by Feng Yuxiang, was responsible for the combat missions of Longhai and Pinghan in Henan Province, and attacked Xuzhou and Wuhan respectively; The Jin Army was the Third Front Army, led by Yan Xishan, and served as the two combat missions of Jinpu and Jiaoji in Shandong Province, and the Second Front Army would attack Xuzhou, and then march south along the Jinpu Line and go straight to Nanjing!

Shi Yousan was the Fourth Front Army, attacking Jining and Yanzhou with the main force, and attacking Jinan with a coordinated Third Front Army; Zhang Xueliang was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the army, navy, and air force, and actively sought to jointly fight against Chiang.

Liu Wenhui of Sichuan was designated as the Sixth Front Army, and He Jian of Hunan was appointed as the Seventh Front Army. In order to encourage the generals of the troops not directly under him, Shi Yousan was appointed chairman of Shandong Province, Wan Xuancai was appointed chairman of Henan Province, and Sun Dianying was appointed chairman of Anhui Province. The latest chapter of the Templar. After that, Fan Zhongxiu was appointed commander-in-chief of the Eighth Front Army.

On the side of Chiang Zhongzheng, in the face of the anti-Chiang alliance with a force of 30,000 troops, he drew up a battle plan with German adviser Verzel, and after analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of many parties, Fo suggested that Chiang Zhongzheng first concentrate superior forces and attack the weaker Jin army troops to relieve the threat of flanking attack!

Therefore, Nanjing took Han Fuyu as the first army to guard the south bank of the Yellow River and block the Jin army on the Pujin Road; The Central Army was commanded by Liu Zhi as the Second Army Corps, guarding Xuzhou. In mid-November, the war began!

The battlefield can be divided into two aspects: the main battlefield in the north is in Henan, and the secondary battlefield is in Shandong, which are carried out along the three railways of Pinghan Road, Longhai Road and Jinpu Road; The southern battlefield was mainly carried out in the areas of Yuezhou and Changsha in Hunan, along the Xiangjiang River.

And the personnel of the two sides seeking Zhang Xueliang's support in the northeast squatted in the marshal's mansion every day regardless of their face, for fear that Zhang Xueliang would accidentally pull the other party's people away. At the beginning of the Central Plains War, Zhang Xueliang was still a little impatient and wanted to enter the customs.

But the persuasion of the assistant marshals Zhang Zuoxiang and Yan Zhengqing made him stay, and the beautiful Miss Zhao Si had also arrived in the northeast, so Zhang Xueliang also extinguished his heart to enter the Central Plains and watched for the time being.

Anyway, these people have Yan Zhengqing and the assistant commander to deal with them, and most of these people stay in their own small courtyard. Some of his work that needed to be consulted would come to him, and he almost handed over the rest of the general things to Zhang Zuoxiang and Yan Zhengqing.

Tu Qianjun, who was far away in the United States, saw the Central Plains War from the newspaper, and after reading the report sent back by Aban, he sneered and did not make any comment. He knew that this would be the last waltz of all the warlords.

After that, their era was coming to an end. The rest are just a few of the most powerful factions, and among them is the Bong faction! And the Gui family, the Northwest Army, the Jin Sui Army, and other small warlords will almost all be dismantled.

As a result, China has officially entered the era of Jiang Zhongzheng. Although the Nationalist government was on the verge of bankruptcy in order to cope with the war expenses, the victorious Chiang Zhongzheng successfully absorbed the local army, and the local political branch was abolished. Eliminate the amount of money in the hands of local soldiers, unify the national tax, and achieve the consolidation of the national system.

However, at this time, Tu Qianjun did not have time to care about these things. His focus was all on the new automatic rifle he developed with the Colt family! In fact, the rifle has only just been made.

And the parameters in it have also been somewhat modified, but they are generally made according to the design of Tu Qianjun. Tu Qianjun also applied for a patent for this automatic rifle and authorized Colt Company to produce it.

Today, it is Tu Qianjun who wants to talk to the old Pershing, the current US Secretary of War James Murphy. William. Goode came to test the new gun together, put the newspaper down gently, Tu Qianjun picked up the milk on the table, drank it all and stood up.

Put on the West Point uniform behind the chair and walk out the door! You know, bureaucracy is not unique to China. In fact, before World War II, bureaucracy was prevalent in the United States. Even today, there is still bureaucracy in some institutions.

Just like when countless people in later generations scolded the bureaucracy in the mainland, sheltered food safety enterprises and kept praising how the United States was, they didn't know that at the end of the 19th century, even the then president of the United States did not dare to eat sausages made by his own country.

Little did he know, of course, that in the thirties of the twentieth century, journalists, consumer advocacy groups, and the federal government launched a campaign to impose stronger regulations on harmful products that were allowed under the 1906 Act, and they made a list of irradiated drinks, cosmetics that could cause blindness, and "drugs" that had no effect on diabetes and tuberculosis.

However, the resulting draft did not pass Congress for five years until the sulfonamide anhydride scandal in 1937, when 107 people died in the production of universal sulfonamides produced by the American pharmaceutical company Massenkil.

Tu Qianjun estimates that a large part of the reason why he passed this report so quickly is due to the influence of the Colt family itself and some support from the old Pershing. Otherwise, it is not uncommon for this report to drag you on for a month or two by estimate.

And that's when Venus. Major Thayer also greeted Phil with a smile and said, "Mr. Colt! It's been a long time, how are you doing?! ”

Then he saw Phil facing Venus. Major Thayer laughed and said, "Not bad! You've been promoted, and now you're a major! You knew you were just a rookie back then! Time flies so fast......"

At this time, Phil saw Tu Qianjun looking at him in surprise, so he smiled and said: "Thayer and I are old comrades-in-arms, and he was still a soldier in my army back then. But then I retired, and he came to West Point for further study. Hehe......"

Listening to Phil's words, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be a little curious! What rank was Phil back then?! However, it seemed that Phil did not want to talk about these things, so he turned to Thayer and said, "Let's go!" The Commander-in-Chief may be impatient to wait now, so let's get over as soon as possible ()! ”

Hearing this, Thayer also nodded, then made a "please" gesture to Tu Qianjun and them, and then led them into West Point together. After passing through the plaza in front of the campus at West Point, we turned around the school building and arrived at a shooting range.

There were already countless soldiers clearing the field here, and the old Pershing was talking and laughing with a bearded, dressed man on a chair in the shooting area of the shooting range.

At this time, Phil asked Carter, who had come in with him, to take out a large box, open it, and take out the rifle with a mahogany handle painted blue, exuding a domineering and murderous aura.

And along with the box of bullets in the box, he grabbed all the bullets in his hand, walked up to the old Pershing with a smile, put down all the guns and bullets, and gave a solemn military salute to the old Pershing and said loudly: "Report!" Soldier of the United States Expeditionary Force, Phil. Colt reports to the commander! ”

Old Pershing stood up and looked at Phil appreciatively, and after a solemn military salute, he said in a deep voice: "Letting you leave the army back then was one of the worst decisions I ever made, and I still hope you can come back if possible......"

Phil was stunned for a moment when he heard Old Pershing's words, and then smiled and said, "Commander, you know that the family can't do without me now. After all, I am still from the Colt family, but I will still be conscripted into the army if the country needs me. After all, I'm still a member of the National Guard, aren't I?! ”

Old Pershing sighed deeply after listening to Phil's words for a long time, but Tu Qianjun, who was standing behind Phil, had his eyes flashing! This Uncle Phil doesn't seem to be easy! It seems that everyone has their own story that cannot be told.

At this time, Phil picked up the gun with a smile, handed it to Old Pershing and said in a deep voice: "Commander, this is the new automatic rifle recently designed by the military son and made by our Colt company!" It's smaller, lighter, and has a larger bullet capacity! Even the power hasn't diminished much! You can give it a try! ”

And old Pershing was immediately attracted when he saw this gun, this is indeed an extremely beautiful rifle! In the eyes of the military, this gun looks uncomplicated and has very rigid lines!
