Whether this information leak is on the Chinese side or the German side, Fang Jianxiong still does not understand for the time being, and neither the Military Intelligence Bureau nor the Political Intelligence Bureau has similar intelligence reports. But this undoubtedly struck a jǐng bell for Fang Jianxiong.

This will certainly not be possible, at least not at the right time. Fang Jianxiong's small body can't bear Britain, France, Russia and Germany, which are not very good-tempered countries, and the United States has got what he wants, and he will have to jump into any pit by himself when the time comes. This kind of stupid thing cannot be agreed, but it cannot be said at all, and the American thigh still has to continue to hug.

"There is indeed military cooperation between China and Germany, but I don't think it is contrary to the interests of China and the United States. If Captain Stilwell is interested, he can go to the drill field to see it, and go as a military adviser to him. Of course, with the exception of Captain Stilwell, we will not invite anyone else to observe the exercise. As for the announcement of the secret treaty, Honiri can promise that in a year at the latest, Honiri will urge zhèngfǔ to make a decision to officially announce the cooperation agreement between China and the United States to the world. Fang Jianxiong said very slowly, thinking carefully about every word, for fear that something would go wrong. With great power comes great responsibility, and there must be no sloppiness in matters that have a bearing on the interests of the state.

A military train drove into Jinan Station in the middle of the night, Liu Zhenyue and Xia Xiang got off the train together, walked around the platform for a while, smoked a cigarette and moved their shins. A station attendant walked over and smiled at the two who were smoking: "Two chiefs, what's on the car?" God mysterious! ”

Liu Xuanyue grinned at him with bared teeth, and said with murderous eyes: "Inquire less, if you know too much, you won't live long." ”

Xia Xiang interrupted: "Okay, what are you trying to scare him, isn't it just curiosity?" Alright, you go, don't ask about this. ”

Both of them, with the rank of major general, sat on the platform very unfiguratively at the moment, waiting for the signal for the train to continue on the road.

"Lao Xia, when my brigade was training last month, more than half of it was broken, and the quality of this thing is really unreliable. The wheeled ones are okay, the tracks are choking enough, and they can't run far to lie down. Liu Zhenyue said this, with a sad face. After the Battle of Shandong, the two were thrown to Xuancheng, where an eccentric force was waiting for them at the base in Jiulian Mountain.

Tank brigade, this title has never been heard. Thirty-six tanks, seventy-two wheeled armored vehicles, a tank brigade, almost didn't kill Liu Anyue and Xia Xiang, this is a brand new thing, Gen never thought that there would be this weapon before.

The so-called tank is an extremely rudimentary thing. The site is an improved version of the site of the crawler tractor, and the appearance is extremely strange in the eyes of the two, and the failure rate is extremely high. A brigade has a total of 36 tanks, which can be completed safely within 30 kilometers, and after 30 kilometers, one after another breaks down.

"I heard that some European experts made it up according to the requirements of the chief instructor, and it is still very powerful. It's just too easy to break, and I think that the thing that will determine the outcome on the battlefield in the future is this thing called a tank. Xia Xiang was more relaxed, dropped the cigarette butt and patted his buttocks, and beckoned Liu Xingyue to get into the car.

The Great Wall No. 1 tank was developed by a team of political engineers from Europe. It weighs 8 tons, is armed with a 37 mm cannon, a Maxim heavy machine gun, and carries four crews. There is also an armored car converted from a car, which has no guns, only a Maxim, and carries six people. These two tank brigades are definitely the secret weapons in Fang Jianxiong's hands, and they have always been in a state of high secrecy.

In Laiyang, within a radius of 100 miles from the battlefield of the exercise, all of them have been set up as military restricted areas. The cavalry was responsible for patrolling, and all the civilians in the area left temporarily, and the military compensated for certain losses. The tank brigade came to Laiyang half a month ahead of schedule to familiarize itself with the terrain and make pre-war preparations.

Fang Jianxiong was in Laiyang, who had arrived three years before the exercise, and he was accompanied by Jiang Fangzhen and Cai Yi.

Zhang Xiaohuai did not follow him to Laiyang, but went to Shenyang, where some units of the Shenyang Military Region were changing their equipment and increasing their technical equipment.

Zhang Zuolin, who was stationed in Anshan, did not expect that he could stay in the Northeast, although the troops had to be stationed in Anshan, but it was much better than leaving the Northeast. Originally, Zhang Zuolin had already packed up his troops and was ready to leave, but a telegram came from Běijīng, asking him to wait a few days before leaving. waited for Siyao, and waited for the order to pick up Zhang Xiaohuai at the station. The Shenyang garrison was temporarily led by Li Xiaochuan, and he beckoned a thousand people to go to the station, and Zhang Xiaohuai took a military train, not a special train, but an armored train in front of him to escort him.

Zhang Xiaohuai, who got off the car, followed Zhu Qinglan, and when he saw that the commanders of the various troops in the northeast had arrived, Zhang Xiaohuai smiled and stepped forward to say hello, and after some politeness, Zhang Xiaohuai said to Zhang Zuolin: "Yuting, your division is rì machinery, and this time I will give priority to your department to change clothes." The equipment is all in the car, let your soldiers help

Unload the truck. ”

After some tossing, when he came out of the headquarters, Zhang Zuolin got a list of equipment, couldn't help but rub his eyes after looking at it, and after making sure that he was not mistaken, he handed it to his brother Zhang Zuoxiang next to him and said: "Old eight, look at this list." ”

Zhang Zuoxiang didn't understand why, and after taking it curiously, he gasped. The first one suppressed Zhang Zuoxiang, 24 German-made 75 mountain guns. 24 70-mm infantry guns, 24 120-mm mortars, 24 81-mm mortars, 96 60-mm mortars. Next, every time he looked at an item, the corners of Zhang Zuoxiang's mouth twitched. I have long seen that the Wehrmacht is well equipped, and I really never thought that I could use the same equipment.

Zhang Zuolin's division is a bit special, basically he didn't move, but he sent a chief of staff to Zhang Zuolin, as well as more than a dozen officers of technical arms. This is an appearance of extreme trust, and of course, Zhang Zuolin and his brothers did not plan to have too good equipment. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it.

"Let's go, go back and ask the chief of staff, no wonder he brought a dozen brothers who are training artillery in Cāo." Zhang Zuolin excitedly turned over his horse and hurried to the north of the station.

Zhang Zuolin's chief of staff is Li Daxiong, a first-term student of the teaching team, who turned out to be a member of the Jiaodong Self-Defense Force. During the defense of Jinan, Li Daxiong did not go, but stayed in Jiaodong to watch his family. He didn't have many feats, and Li Daxiong regretted it. After the reorganization of the troops, Qi Zhenghong and Xing Nan went to Germany to study, Xia Xiang and Liu Zhenyue went to Wuhu to report, and the other people who were transferred to various places served as division commanders and brigade commanders, and Li Daxiong was transferred to the northeast to serve as Zhang Zuolin as chief of staff.

Zhang Zuolin rushed into the office like a wind and slapped the list on the table: "Chief of Staff, look at this, can you get it?" Li Daxiong was a little excited when he saw him, and Zhang Zuoxiang, who came in later, was also greedy. Strangely picked up the list and looked at it for a while, and said, "What's wrong?" Isn't that normal? We are a class A division, if you don't have these equipment, are you embarrassed to say that you are a class A division? Besides, our division has one more brigade than the average A division, and that is the marshal who has to take care of Yuting and be with the old brothers. No, this equipment is rationed according to the normal armor division, I have to go to Commander-in-Chief Zhang to explain the situation. Li Daxiong said that he was going out, Zhang Zuolin hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Chief of Staff, don't get excited." Actually, I'm quite content. Commander Zhang is very busy, so don't bother him with his old family. ”

Li Daxiong knew what he was thinking, and explained with a smile: "Brother Yuting, don't be too careful. This is normal in the Wehrmacht, and these equipment are necessary. Our division is quite special, and the commander has also taken special care of it. This list should be a mistake in logistics, and there is still a lack of equipment for a brigade. ”

After Li Daxiong finished speaking, he went out, and Zhang Zuolin and his group of brothers had extremely colorful expressions on their faces. They all felt incredible, they were not Fang Dashuai's descendants, since they were not descendants, how could they have equipment on par with their descendants?

Zhang Zuolin's specialness in this division has something to do with the recruitment. When I was in Beiyang, it was said to be a division, but in fact it was far more than that. In addition to the insufficient number of armament, there were as many as three infantry brigades of riflemen. Zhang Zuolin reported truthfully and explained the situation. The report from the northeast side reached Fang Jianxiong, and considering the special xìng of Zhang Zuolin's unit, Fang Jianxiong specially approved Zhang Zuolin's division to keep the original number. The normal A division is two brigades, and Zhang Zuolin's division is three.

"It can't be done that way, I can stop the chief of staff. The handsome man looks down on us brothers, and we can't help him. If it is really implemented, he will send the superfluous brothers home. "It was Tang Yulin who said this, one of the brothers.

"Yes, hurry up and stop the chief of staff." Zhang Zuolin slapped his thigh and chased after him quickly. Unexpectedly, Li Daxiong had already gone away, so he had to follow him to the military region headquarters. When they arrived at the place, they were stopped by the guards, saying that they were waiting to be summoned.

After waiting outside for about ten minutes, Li Daxiong came out of it with a smile on his face. Zhang Zuolin waited to meet them, and Li Daxiong smiled when he saw them: "I made a mistake, the marshal specially approved the number of a dúlì cavalry brigade, and the brigade commander was recommended by Yuting, and this dúlì cavalry brigade was sent to Gulin, and the equipment was equipped with other configurations, and it could be transported in the morning." ”

Everyone looked at each other, went back together, and discussed who would come to this dúlì brigade.

When Zhang Xiaohuai arrived in Shenyang, Fang Jianxiong also arrived in Laiyang. I was greeted at the station and saw my German brother Bob. When the two meet, it is naturally a warm embrace. Bob came to China on his own initiative. The last time he came to China for half a year before going back, this time he came because he heard that there was an exercise between China and Germany, so he wanted to come.

Bob knew very well in his heart that engaging in exercises with Fang Jianxiong would definitely have gains, and it would be a huge gain. Sure enough, after leaving the station, I followed them to the station of the 1st Brigade of the Tank. Brigade Commander Xia Xiang is waiting with his men. Don't look at Xia Xiang as a brigade commander, his military rank is on par with the average division commander.
