Chapter 55 Change when you know your mistakes
Sun's secret telegram was very long, not at all like a telegram, and it was roughly divided into three parts. At the beginning, it said: Yu has been involved in the revolution for more than ten years,......。 The meaning is roughly that the hardships experienced since the revolution, the incomprehension of the comrades, and so on. In the second part, since the Wuchang Uprising, there have been various difficulties inside and outside. He also said: Although Yuan Xiangcheng is known for his open-mindedness, his revolution is not his original intention. To the effect that Yuan Shikai is different from the two of us, he is a fake revolutionary, and his fundamental purpose is to seize the Qing Dynasty. After talking about this and that, there are a lot of difficulties and so on, and I will say: "However, the literary idiot will not change, and he is determined to revolutionize to the end, in order to seek the true meaning of the Republic of China." ”
Anyway, this essay is very well written, and Fang Jianxiong will definitely not be able to write this kind of text.
A telegram of more than 1,000 words, frankly speaking, Fang Jianxiong was very moved to read it, and he had to admit that Sun Wen was the first person in the Chinese revolution in modern history. From the perspective of the latecomers, regardless of the results, in this spirit alone, there are indeed many admirable pioneers among the revolutionary group with Sun as the core of leadership.
But what Sun didn't expect was that Fang Jianxiong's perception of the future was completely different from him. In Fang Jianxiong's view, Sun did a lot of outrageous things in order to achieve the goal of overthrowing the Qing dynasty and establishing a Republic of China with his own political concept. These things are completely intolerable to Fang Jianxiong's values.
In the end, Sun Zai said: I am willing to join hands with my brother to build the future of the Republic of China and rejuvenate my 5,000-year-old Chinese nation.
The meaning of this sentence is very clear, let's form an alliance. Let's kill Lao Yuan first.
With more than three years of modern career, there are many things that are enough for Fang Jianxiong to see clearly. Standing many years later, looking at the present, saying a few words about scratching the boots, there are many such people. The mouth cannon is always easier and doesn't take much effort.
Probably the current Sun is also in this mentality. Anything. It's easy to destroy, but difficult to build. Not to mention the fact that it is a huge country, and the old order has just been broken. The new order is not yet on the agenda. In such a stage of the alternation of eras, chaos has become an inevitability. People who have not experienced troubled times will not understand the saying that people in troubled times are not as good as dogs.
Parallel history. The role played by Sun is essentially a saboteur. There are many reasons for the formation of the rebellion of the Republic of China. can't be simply counted on Sun's head, but Sun, as the maker of chaos, occupies a lot of scenes.
And what about Fang Jianxiong? What he wanted to do was to end the rebellion of the Republic of China in his own way in the shortest possible time. Although Fang Jianxiong knew very well that because in order to achieve his goal, the country would still be in chaos for a while. As a matter of fact. What Fang Jianxiong is doing now is not much different from what Sun Shishi is doing. All of them plunged the country into temporary chaos, the only difference was that Fang Jianxiong had the strength to clean up the chaos. And Sun didn't. It is precisely because of this that Fang Jianxiong can't agree with Sun You. Since he is unable to clean up the mess, just because of his personal political ideals, he has always insisted on standing on the opposite side of the national government. In this sense, Sun is not even as good as some of the warlords, who are still maintaining the unity of the country in terms of face. Recognize the later Beiyang government as the legitimate government. As for Sun, he is holding high the banner of the so-called protector of the law, constantly stirring up trouble in the south.
All in all, it's the same sentence: no matter how bad a government is, it's better than no government at all! No matter how bad the order is, it is better than no order!
Of course, this deep-rooted idea is a very worthless thing in the eyes of many revolutionaries today.
The chaos of this era is not only because of different political goals, but also because of all kinds of hidden ambitions.
Roughly speaking, because of chaos, there is a chance, and because of chaos, there is a story.
Fang Jianxiong held such a telegram, was silent for a long time, and stood facing the window. For Sun, Fang Jianxiong's mentality is complicated. In traditional history education, Sun is an out-and-out positive figure and a great man. In the midst of this era, you can also feel that Sun has his own stubborn political concept of this era. In any case, a fighter like Sun is worth a high look. Even the word respect should be excessive.
Outside the window is a world, and inside the window is another world.
After Fang Jianxiong struggled for nearly an hour, he finally turned around, and Yin Ruizhi, who had been waiting on the side, stood up with a record book in his hand. "Call back: Constitutionalism, the foundation of the Republic of China. The cabinet prime minister system is what Jianxiong wants. Urge Xiang Cheng to go south, end the rebellion of the Republic of China, and realize the unification of China. ”
Stick to your own path! Fang Jianxiong was relieved, these big names in this era may have such and such respectable places. However, I see the future of this country more clearly.
After replying the call, Fang Jianxiong strode into the conference room of the headquarters, and while the political affairs conference of the United Autonomous Region was still continuing, the conference on the reorganization of the national defense army was also in full swing.
Previously, because of the continuous wars, there has been no major reorganization of the Wehrmacht in the true sense. It is now necessary to take advantage of the brief peace break to settle this important matter.
Inside the Command, a heated argument is going on. Interestingly, on the two sides of the argument are the two bigwigs of the General Staff on the one hand, Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff, and Zhang Xiaohuai, deputy of the General Staff, who have just returned from Wuhu, and on the other side are the German Hamilton, the deputy chief of the General Staff, Cheng Zhixuan, the commander of the artillery division, and Bob, the leader of the moral adviser. The focus of the dispute between the two sides was actually the issue of the artillery configuration of an infantry division.
When Fang Jianxiong came in, the double anti-dump was still being fiercely reorganized, and Cheng Zhixuan's big voice was almost roaring: "105 guns, one shell is 25 kilograms, and a base is one and a half tons." In the battle of the northern front of the Pinghan Line, almost all the cars were used, and in this regard, our ammunition problem was not completely solved. Even if there are cars, the failure rate of cars is too high on existing roads. The decentralization of heavy artillery to divisions is unrealistic, and I firmly oppose it. ”
"In my opinion, in light of the current situation in the Wehrmacht, the best way to use heavy artillery is to use it in regiments and battalions. In peacetime, it is directly under the General Staff and supplemented to the front-line troops in wartime. Directly delegating to the division level is simply a fantasy. Hamilton's voice was not small, and the stubbornness of the Germans was evident at this time.
"The Commander-in-Chief has repeatedly stressed that our future adversary is Japan. According to the current establishment of the Japanese Army, with one infantry division against one Japanese division regiment, without heavy artillery, what do we fight against? The individual soldiers of the Japanese army are much higher than those of our army, and in squad-level operations, the Wehrmacht will not be left behind by virtue of its superiority in weapons. In the platoon-level operation, at most there will be a tie. At the first level, I think it will definitely lose. I believe that the Commander-in-Chief's vision can be comprehensive and prudent. "This is Jiang Baili talking, probably because the poisoning is too deep, for the artillery set, Jiang Baili is reluctant to give up even if he recognizes the difficulty of objective existence.
"I agree with Baili's opinion. In the future Sino-Japanese war, with our naval strength, the battlefield can only break out within the borders of China. According to the strength of the Wehrmacht, it is not inconceivable to take the north within a year, and then control the entire state power. Suppose that the Sino-Japanese war broke out five years later, and there were five years, wouldn't it be possible to solve the road difficulties? This is Zhang Xiaohuai's voice, and he can see that he is also very excited. Fang Jianxiong's idea of artillery is a kind of spiritual poison for every soldier. Few people can resist this temptation.
"No, no, it's not realistic. In five years' time, it will be difficult for China to industrialize. Without industrialization, what kind of large-scale maneuver to talk about? Cars are not the main force of transportation in Europe now. The German Army mainly relied on a railway network all over the territory, and China was too big, and a convenient railway network could never be completed in a short time. Funding and technology are insurmountable difficulties. There is also a question, artillery is a technical branch, where does the composition of personnel come from? It is easy to find people who can only shoot artillery, and those who can make cannons hit accurately cannot be practiced in a day or two. This is a heavy artillery, not a small cannon with a range of only two or three thousand meters. ”
Brother Bob also spoke, this guy has been staying in Wuchang, with a group of Germans, going deep into various units to understand the situation on the ground. After returning, just in time for Jiang Baili and Zhang Xiaohuai to propose a new infantry division artillery formation, and then had a fierce argument with Cheng Zhixuan, who had come to Wuchang for a meeting. The Germans soon joined the quarrel, and the two sides were happy to quarrel with German in Chinese.
At the beginning, Fang Jianxiong could still eavesdrop with a smile, and the more he listened, the stricter Fang Jianxiong's expression became. The so-called 12 guns of 105 guns in a division are a bit of a copycat for 56 years. Now after listening to it for a while, I realized that I had made a big mistake and even misled the two chiefs of the General Staff.
Isn't modern warfare all about logistics? The war in the Far East taught the leaders of the republic a hard lesson, and the cost was enormous. Fang Jianxiong, as a traverser, is also not a god. A grasp of the general trend of history does not mean that you can also know the details.
If you have to explain Fang Jianxiong's mentality in this era, it is probably with a frightened heart and cautious exploration. Strive to lay a solid foundation and strive to be ahead of your opponents in everything. Now it seems that it is not bad, but it is not enough.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Fang Jianxiong can pay enough attention to the correct opinions put forward by the people around him, and after careful consideration, he readily accepts and corrects them. Of course, there are also things that insist on what is wrong in the eyes of people today.
"I've heard a great debate, and it looks like we need to do a serious study on this issue." Fang Jianxiong's opening immediately interrupted the argument between the two sides.
The word that called Fang Jianxiong in private, on this occasion, Jiang and Zhang both saluted and greeted them very formally: "Hello commander-in-chief!" "This is what a professional soldier should be. (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
