Chapter 65: The Surabaya Case (I)

A group of young officers who grew up in the months of the revolutionary war, like Tian Jiyang, who had survived the bloody battles in Anqing. They are the ones who best understand the strength of the Wehrmacht today, the root causes and the significance.

There is nothing wrong with the revolution, but plunging headlong into the so-called revolution with a heart of blood and no brains is no different from sending it to death. The failure of the revolution led by Xiong Chengji was actually inevitable. In Taihu County, which is close at hand, the new army of two whole towns is there, and they are actually doing things in Anqing. At that time, I felt very enthusiastic, and when I remembered the gunfire of the Anqing Revolution a few years later, I knew the advantages and disadvantages by comparing them.

Tian Jiyang did not think that the Anqing Uprising launched by Fang Jianxiong was in response to the Wuchang Uprising, and from the perspective of the preparation process and the action process, it was just a convenient opportunity to borrow Wuchang's first step. In terms of the maturity of the preparation and the strict planning, the Wuchang Uprising is like a joke. It can be said that without the first uprising in Wuchang, the Anqing uprising would still have succeeded, just look at the situation after the gunshots rang out, and the collective response of the entire new army. In particular, Fang Dashuai personally sat in the city, with an energetic and powerful guard company to respond. Every time I think of this, Tian Jiyang, one of the members who followed Dashuai in Anqing back then, will feel a sense of blood boiling. You know, there are more than 3,000 patrol battalions in the city.

Therefore, the convincing of the Wehrmacht and the prestige established by Anqing's actions is very crucial.

"Handsome!" With a hearty shout, everyone in the conference room stood up. Fang Jianxiong was dressed in military uniforms, and he walked like a tiger. Enter the room, walk to the main seat, and make a gesture: "Sit down." ”

All the officers above the regimental level of the First Division have arrived, and the new reorganization has begun, and the model of the First Division is very important. In a cautious style, Fang Jianxiong had to personally participate in the reorganization of the first division.

The meeting was chaired by Jiang Fangzhen. Following the announcement of the integration order, the appointment of officers at all levels was announced. This is something that no one in the Wehrmacht can touch, officers above the rank of company commander. It must be reported to the General Staff for approval. In other words, the General Staff is an institution that wields enormous power. Personnel and financial power are all in the hands of the General Staff Headquarters. What Fang Jianxiong had to do was to pinch the General Staff in his hands.

This form of military system has eliminated the warlord soil for the generals to the greatest extent. As a division commander or brigade commander of a high-ranking officer, if you have the idea of self-reliance, I'm sorry, the people below will kill you first, and then ask for credit with their heads.

It is clear that the Wehrmacht rewards and punishments must be distinguished, and in the entire army, there are hardly any relatives of the marshal in it. This. It is also one of the reasons why Fang Jianxiong can serve the public. In fact, the Fang family is very large, and there can be hundreds of people in a mess. These people are not without channels for Fang Mei and Fang Youxiao, and they want to mix in the army and government departments.

The reality is that Fang Youxiao, his own uncle, is not in the government, Fang Jianmei's cousin. Now I am also studying in the cadre training class in Anqing. Others don't even worry about this and that, Fang Dashuai's iron face is ruthless, and everyone knows it.

After announcing the various personnel adjustment orders, Fang Jianxiong spoke for about five minutes. The content is to emphasize the importance and rigor of this army reorganization, and once again emphasize the need to be ready for war at any time.

The morning session ended. Without waiting for lunch, Fang Jianxiong personally led the personnel of the General Staff and officers at all levels of the First Division to Xiaogan. After arriving at one o'clock in the afternoon, I had a casual lunch. The original establishment of the First Division was the same as that of the Beiyang New Army, and it was not difficult to change it, and the main thing was to add new weapons and technical units, so that the integration of the entire unit with the new equipment would be more harmonious. The First Division, which was originally equipped with a large number of new weapons, did not suffer much in its reorganization. This is also carried out in the spirit of the easy first and then the hard.

Many of the original temporary establishments were abolished, and after the establishment of personnel at all levels was in place, they were quickly adjusted. After Fang Jianxiong stayed in Xiaogan for a week, the reorganization of the first division was basically completed. The units directly under the division completed the fastest reorganization, and after adding a cavalry battalion, a baggage battalion, and an engineer company, they took the lead in completing the reorganization. The two infantry brigades spent a lot of money, but they were well prepared in advance, and the new equipment was given priority to be collected from the warehouse, and some of the insufficient personnel were brought out slowly in the way of bringing the old with the new.

The matter of reorganizing the troops is still relatively simple, and other things are troublesome. Fang Jianxiong stayed with the soldiers in the First Division for 10 days, and his teacher Sun Baoqi, Li Yuanhong, honorary chairman of the United Autonomous Region, and Tang Hualong, chairman of the Executive Committee of the United Autonomous Region, found the station of the Xiaogan First Division together.

Being able to alarm the three of them at one time is naturally not a trivial matter. Fang Jianxiong met three people in the division headquarters, and after meeting, these three people all looked stern.

"Fuguo, a call from Nanjing, overseas Chinese in Surabaya Port on the island of Dutch Java raised flags and set fire cannons to celebrate the reunification of the motherland, but the colonial authorities opened fire and stopped them by force, killing three people on the spot, wounding more than 10 people, and arresting more than 100 people." Sun Baoqi silently handed over a telegram, Fang Jianxiong was stunned for a while, took the telegram and saw that it was a telegram sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nanjing Provisional Government, and Wang Chonghui, vice foreign minister of the Provisional Government, was ordered to telegraph to the United Autonomous Region, hoping to get a response.

Fang Jianxiong looked at the telegram, he was furious, the telegram was crumpled in his hand, and he raised his hand fiercely and slapped it on the case. There was a muffled thud, and the ashtray on the table bounced a few times. Everyone was shocked and waited silently.

After a while, Fang Jianxiong slowly calmed down, turned his head and asked, "How are you gentlemen going to deal with it?" ”

Fang Jianxiong's first teacher, Sun Baoqi, said in a deep voice: "First of all, it must be a strong protest, demanding the release of the detainees and financial compensation. "Sun Baoqi's meaning is probably what everyone means. Fang Jianxiong looked at Li Yuanhong, and said with a wry smile: "After all, it is a foreign-related incident, so it is better to let Nanjing and Beiyang have a headache." ”

Tang Hualong shook his head and said, "You should take this opportunity to make your voice heard." The United Autonomous Region already has a strong voice in domestic politics, and this opportunity cannot be missed. "Reactionary bureaucrats are reactionary bureaucrats, and that's what I'm thinking about at this time.

But I have to admit that he has a point. Fang Jianxiong thought more, after listening to their words, he didn't express his position immediately, he paced in place with his hands behind his back and was silent, just at this time Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Xiaohuai came back with a smile, and when they saw that the atmosphere at the scene was like this, they immediately smiled.

"Someone, call and call. First, in the name of the United Autonomous Region, the Nanjing side is urged to reach diplomatic representations on this matter as much as possible. Second, a telegram was sent to the whole country, and from now on, a Dutch businessman will leave the area under the jurisdiction of the autonomous regional defense forces within a three-day period, and the offender will be punished for the crime of espionage. Third, inform the Dutch minister that if a plan acceptable to the overseas Chinese cannot be given within three days, the navy and army under the command of the Wehrmacht will send troops to the island of Java to seek justice by force. Fourth, entrust the king of Shanghai to handle the matter with full authority. and held a press conference to announce my proposition. Fifth, Yu will go to Nanjing in person to discuss the matter with Mr. Sun. ”

"Supporting the country ......." Li Yuanhong opened his mouth and shouted, then closed it stupidly. The two of them on the side were silent, he was worried about the use of fart. However, Jiang Fangzhen listened to it and said: "Supporting the country, sending troops to Java, the strength of the navy may be insufficient, and how to solve the problem of transporting troops." ”

Fang Jianxiong said lightly: "The Netherlands is no longer the sea coachman of the past, notify the navy to prepare immediately, and notify the China Merchants Steamship Bureau to prepare." When one expires, all the warships of the navy under his command will attack, and one regiment on the infantry side is enough, so that Leng Yu will transfer a special operations regiment back. Where the Fart is big in Surabaya, it shouldn't be a problem to hit it. That's it, let's do it. ”

"Fuguo, do you want to discuss it with Nanjing, after all, Nanjing still has two Haizi-class cruisers." Tang Hualong added a sentence temporarily, Fang Jianxiong nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay to notify you, it's better not to agree to cooperate with our actions in Nanjing." Even if they want to cooperate, it will be difficult for the Nanjing side to solve the cost and shells of the navy. Remember, hold on a little, this is the work of the United Autonomous Region itself. ”

Sun Baoqi finally persuaded: "Helping the country, the trip to Nanjing, I am afraid that there will be something inappropriate......." Fang Jianxiong's eyes were firm, and he shook his head and said, "Sooner or later, we will see each other." The Republic of China cannot stand only on bloodshed, and if it can, I hope it is better not to have a civil war. ”

The three of them got the letter and went back to prepare. Fang Jianxiong, Zhang Xiaohuai, who had not spoken here, stepped forward and said, "Fuguo, why don't you see Yuan Shikai's reaction first?" ”

Fang Jianxiong said lightly: "Yuan Shikai is afraid that foreigners are afraid to die, counting on him?" Forget it. This time, we must not only force the Dutch government to bow down, but also strive for the living space of overseas Chinese, and let overseas Chinese know that we are the strongest backing for overseas Chinese in China. ”

As soon as the Surabaya case came out, the whole country was shocked. The whole country is still immersed in the good wishes for the peaceful establishment of the Republic of China, and overseas Chinese have actually suffered such a tragedy. For a time, it can be said that the whole country was indignant, and the press added fuel to the raging public opinion, but in one day, the people's anger reached a peak.

The whole country is watching the reaction of the two provisional governments. The Beiyang side protested, and the Nanjing side also protested, both demanding that the Dutch government treat them severely, put forward demands for the release of the arrested, compensation for losses, and restoration of human rights, and gave a reply within a week limit, otherwise trade would be banned and the Republic of China would not be allowed to hang the Dutch flag.

After the talks, the delegation of the Shanghai Autonomous Region did not immediately evacuate, but turned into an international liaison office of the autonomous region in Shanghai. The location is in a two-story office building in Huajie.

On this day, the lawn outside the liaison office was full of reporters from various newspapers. The Joint Regional Liaison Office will issue a solemn statement of the Autonomous Region on the Surabaya incident. As a regional regime controlled by a warlord today, it is said that there is not much representation in this matter, but it is a pity that Fang Jianxiong is the most capable warlord, although he does not wear the hat of the government, when the autonomous region speaks, it still attracts the attention of the whole country.

In Titicaca, when the flashing lights were flashing, Wang Zhengting appeared in front of the media, coughed, and the scene of hundreds of people was silent. (To be continued.)
