Although Cai Chengxun repeatedly urged the telegraph operator of the communications office, the wireless telegraph had to be installed and debugged first, and the signal was unstable and the system was poor to solve the problem, so the telegram was not sent until late at night. At this time, Tang Zhidao's battle report was sent to the Chahar Metropolitan Command, the War Department, the General Staff Headquarters and other key departments through the Duolun Telegraph Bureau as early as the evening, six or seven hours early, winning the first opportunity. In particular, Tang Zhidao's battle report was extremely true, objective (except for concealing the amount of loot), and detailed, which made the dry battle report jointly signed by Cai Chengxun and Tan Zongrui seem particularly fake and empty.

The affairs of the Chinese people are not so simple, especially when a small lieutenant colonel and a high-ranking army division commander plus the acting town guard of a major town in the north of Cyprus attack and accuse each other. It has been common since the Republic of China for the merits of front-line generals, and it is even more common to fight for the spoils of war, but it basically happens between two two troops of equal status, and it is not common for such a disparity of status as now.

Tanaka Yu was extremely happy when he first received Tang Zhidao, after all, a major border trouble in Saibei was finally eliminated, and then he was a little puzzled, why there was no signature from Tan Zongrui, until he received a telegram from the other party, he suddenly realized, but it was also an extremely headache, with his experience in the army and officialdom for many years, it is naturally not difficult to judge who is right and wrong, but so what? Although Cai Chengxun was nominally dispatched by him, in fact, the real power of the division commander of the division directly under the Ministry of War was far above his empty capital, and it was not false that Tan Zongrui, the acting envoy of Duolun, was his direct subordinate, but Lao Tan's qualifications were too old, and even Tang Daodao, the newly emerging head of the second mixed regiment, was said to be deeply favored by Xiao Xu. In the final analysis, this is the sorrow of the military and political chiefs who did not personally control the troops during the Republic of China.

Under the headache, Tanaka Yu not only scolded the two sides indifferently, and demanded that the two sides sincerely unite and eliminate the remnants of the Mongolian bandits as soon as possible, so he transferred this hot potato to the bigwigs of the War Department and the General Staff.

When the Military Affairs Department and the General Affairs Department of the War Department received the telegram, their first reaction was to wonder if their eyes were wrong, and then they could only report it layer by layer and hand over the ball to Vice Minister Fu, who was in charge of the ministry. Vice Minister Fu was happy at first, Babu Zabu, the bandit, finally surrendered to the law, and the plan that was originally planned to be implemented at the end of this year and the beginning of next year did not need to be carried out, and then he secretly scolded himself, this Tang Dao is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will cause trouble everywhere, and make a mess of everything that was originally happy with everyone. But this kid is also relatively good at things, even when he left Gyeonggi, but filial piety has never stopped, and it must be maintained when it should be maintained, not to mention that there is still Xiao Xu's support from others, why not be a favor? It's just that this time Shunshui is not so easy to do, Cai Chengxun and Tan Zongrui, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, protégés, relatives, friends, classmates and colleagues are all over the place, and it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective to offend them for a small lieutenant colonel, it's a fucking headache, and the old fox Tanaka Yu is really cunning.

When the heads of the Chahar Metropolitan Government, the War Department, and the General Staff Department had a headache over how to deal with this matter, the two sides inside and outside the city were not idle, and the big conflict was not small but friction continued. Although Cai Chengxun's side said that there were many people, but the head of Tang's side came first and made great achievements to win the support of the people in the city, so he had the upper hand in the friction.

If the other party is replaced by any of the other towns in Beiyang, our Tang Regiment Leader can only obediently obey or stay in the barracks honestly, and the elite name of the people is not a joke. But the first division of the Beiyang Army is quite unworthy of its name, it was originally Yuan Datou in order to fool the Manchu magnates specially trained for the Manchus, its soldiers are mainly from those flying eagle lackeys of the Eight Banners, and the officers are mostly Manchu nobles, think about what good soldiers these individuals can train. After the founding of the Republic of China, a large number of flag soldiers were abolished, and the first division was gradually Hanized, but the old foundation was rotten, and it could not be changed by changing some people. From its establishment to its demise, the First Division has not fought a decent battle except for taking on the first rank in vain, let alone producing a loud general. …,

"Regiment commander, this morning, several soldiers of the First Division bought baked cakes in front of the Shanxi Guild Hall, not only did not give money, but also teased the girl who sold the baked cakes. was bumped into by several brothers of the cavalry company, and he didn't mention it, and he was stripped of his shirt and fled back! Whenever this kind of thing happens, Li Dazhu comes to report it as soon as possible.

"Didn't kill anyone, did you?" Every time Regiment Commander Tang simply asked a question or two, and he instilled in the officers and soldiers when he should make a move, but he also had a bottom line and tried not to expand the conflict.

Cai Chengxun firmly believes that no matter how many tricks Tang Zhidao plays, in the end, it will definitely support him, so he can't make a big deal about these small things, so he asks his subordinates to exercise restraint, so that the situation is not expanded.

The two sides of the conflict are relatively calm, it does not mean that the others in the city are also so calm, after all, now both sides are stationed in the city, and the real conflict is greater than the threat of the Mongolian bandits attacking the city.

Speaking of the most urgent in addition to his parents, Governor Ma is President Ai of the Chamber of Commerce, the previous war has greatly damaged the business environment of Duolun City, and if there is a large-scale armed conflict inside and outside the city, the business prospects for next year will not be good. For this reason, President Ai tried to resolve the differences between the two parties, but with little success.

"Ai Lao, it's not that I don't give you old face!" In the living room of the barracks, Tang Zhidao said helplessly: "Old Tan, their requirements are too harsh, even if I can agree, my brothers will not give up!" He still has unusual respect for President Ai, and if he hadn't reported the "Hongmen Banquet" a few days ago, Captain Tang would have really been on the road of others. However, the head of the Tang regiment will not treat Ai Qingshan badly, and many of the materials seized this time, especially the grain, were sold to "Jufengchang" at a lower price.

"Left and right is a matter of money!" President Ai paced around the living room, sighed and said, "Otherwise, if the water is good, we will suffer a little loss, and our chamber of commerce will find some more, and it will be over!" ”

"Ai Lao, things are not as simple as you think!" Tang Zhidao said disapprerovingly: "It's okay to say that the matter of just money is good, they not only want my money, but also want Lao Tzu's life!" ”

"You see, this is the content of their telegram!" Tang Zhidao handed over a stack of paper and said, this is his relationship in the capital through the business line, at the beginning it was a simple attack, and then what arsons, collusion bandits, and so on came out.

Of course, Tang Zhidao did not say anything bad about Division Commander Cai, Tan Zhentai and others, and the cable telegraph office he mastered was much better than the radio station under the First Division.

"How unreasonable!" Ai Qingshan also trembled with anger, and sat silently on the side and stopped talking.

"Ai Lao, you don't have to worry too much!" Tang Zhidao saw Ai Qingshan's lonely appearance, and he couldn't bear to persuade him: "If you can't fight, the War Department's handling opinions should come down in three or two days at most." When the time comes, one of them will have to leave, and then the city will cease. ”

"It's just that the old man doesn't want your team to go!" Ai Qingshan said emotionally: "The military discipline of your department is strict, the officers and soldiers are kind, and the business is fair. ”

"Ai Lao has won the award, this is what our army should do!" Tang Zhidao said modestly that although the military discipline of his team may not be as good as that of JFJ in later generations, it is still much better than most troops in this era, especially taking the initiative to help the people in the city repair the destroyed houses to win the support of the people.

"There are a few teams that can do it." Ai Qingshan sighed and said: "The old man in Zhangjiakou also comes and goes often, I know exactly what Cai Chengxun's team is." ”

"Ai Lao doesn't have to be too pessimistic, to put it mildly, I also have some old connections in the War Department." Tang Zhidao pretended to be full of confidence and said: "It's not certain who will kill the deer." In fact, his heart is also up and down, the most important thing is whether a battalion that he has expanded without authorization can be recognized, and the rest is secondary, after all, even the War Department is not very good at asking himself to spit out all the spoils, otherwise who will work hard for the people above in the future. As for whether he can continue to stay in Duolun, an extremely rich city outside the fortress, he doesn't care too much, anyway, this Duolun town guard can't stand himself.

"Officials protect each other!" But Ai Qingshan was not infected by his words, and became more and more worried. He has never seen anything from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, and he has summed up an experience over the years, good people can't fight bad people.

"Regiment Commander, War Department emergency telegram!" At this moment, Zhou Wenruo hurriedly walked in, handed over two telegrams, and whispered: "There are two letters in total, one is sent to the Inspector's Mansion, Master Cai, and Tan Zhentai at the same time, and the other is sent to us separately. ”

"If you have something important here, the old man will leave first." Ai Qingshan struggled to get up.

"Ai Lao, you sit down first." Tang Zhidao hurriedly got up and pressed Ai Qingshan back to his seat, then took the telegram and quickly glanced at it and sighed: "Ai Lao, you really guessed it." Two days later, our regiment moved to Zhangjiakou. The defense of Duolun was fully responsible for the First Division of the Army, and Tan Zongrui was appointed as the envoy of Duolun Town. Xiao Liangchen was transferred to Suiyuan Military Affairs Assistant! ”

"The old man went back first!" Ai Qingshan immediately stood up when he heard this, and hurriedly went out after even saying the polite words. Looking at his back, Tang Zhidao couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a hot and cold world!" ”
