Chapter 135 Fang Jianxiong secretly sighed with emotion, and strengthened his determination to take good care of Cai Yi's body. It would be a great loss for such a military genius to die young. If you don't know history, forget it, and if you know, you can't let the tragedy happen again.

"Heroes see the same thing!" Fang Jianxiong smiled with satisfaction, paused slightly, and adjusted his tone before saying, "Brother Songpo, Fang admires." On the one hand, we can learn about some of the new tactical ideas introduced by our army at Lu University, and on the other hand, Wuhu's medical level does not dare to say that it is the first in the world today, and it will definitely be the first in China. However, this time is at most half a year, cultivate well, and after half a year, I will wait for Brother Songpa to come out of the mountain to take charge of 100,000 male soldiers. ”

Fang Jianxiong's words are very saying, Cai Ye is a smart Chapter 135 Cai Songpo (below) person, and he understood in a blink of an eye that this was a clear indication that Cai Ye would go down to lead the troops to fight in the future. And he is in charge of an army of more than 100,000.

"Brother Fuguo's words are unfinished, you might as well say it clearly." Cai Ye is very simple, and he can give up the position of the governor of Yunnan, the local emperor, and he is a person who is not bound by authority and is quite free. In the early years of the Republic of China, Cai Ye, Jiang Fangzhen, and Zhang Xiaohuai, why did Cai Ye have a prominent reputation in the battle to protect the country, while Jiang and Zhang were relatively silent, and the geniuses of Gaine were all people with character.

To be honest, in this era, if it weren't for Fang Jianxiong, a troublemaker, their personalities would have determined their respective fates. Probably only a traverser like Fang Jianxiong dares to boldly use such a talent. Yuan Shikai is also good. Later, Chiang Kai-shek was not. They are all masters who regard military power as more important than life. If you are disobedient, too assertive, or too prestigious, you can go cool.

"Brother Baili, you are the chief of the General Staff, you come." Fang Jianxiong threw Jiang Fangzhen out in time, which is also an attitude. is to let Cai Ye see how in the system of the National Defense Force, how Marshal Fang knows how to make good use of people.

Jiang Fangzhen didn't think so much, and smiled as a matter of course: "Chapter 135 Cai Songpo (II) General Staff has decided after many considerations. Within half a year, a total of sixteen A divisions were completed, and with the addition of the previous eight A divisions, there were twenty-four. Ten of these divisions marched to the northeast. The Northeast Military Region was established, and ten divisions were stationed along the Jinpu Road, focusing on Jinan and its surroundings, so as to establish the Jinan Military Region. The candidates for the commanders of the two large military regions are basically determined to be Brother Songpa and Brother Runnong. ”

Cai Ye listened carefully, combined with the previous conversation, and quickly came to a conclusion that such a troop deployment is obviously targeted. One is the Northeast and the other is Shandong. I didn't think it was all aimed at Japan and Russia.

"The establishment of divisions and regiments in Japan is greater than that of our infantry divisions, and with the strength of the 18 divisions and regiments in Japan, we must have at least twice as many troops." Cai Ye clearly put forward his own point of view, which implied that the combat effectiveness of the ** team was insufficient. Although it is not explicitly stated that this plan is not enough to deal with Japan, let alone Russia, the meaning is hidden.

Jiang Fangzhen was about to continue to explain, and the car had stopped at the entrance of the Songhu Garrison Headquarters. The new commander of the Songhu garrison is one of the six gentlemen of Li Xiehe, the notorious "Preparatory Security Society" in history, although Li Xiehe in this time and space was still suppressed and excluded by the Kuomintang. But he hugged Fang Dashuai's thigh in time and gained a firm foothold in Shanghai. Although Fang Jianxiong is not optimistic about this person's ability, one thing is certain, even if Li Xie and this person are ambitious, they are not ruthless. At least compared to Chen Qimei. Much more above board. Fang Jianxiong used him as the commander of the Songhu garrison, and the meaning was multi-layered. One of the most important points. Li Xiehe is obedient and understands the situation in Shanghai well enough.

In fact, the six gentlemen of the "Preparatory Security Association", including Li Xiehe, Liu Shipei, Hu Ying, and Sun Yuyun, are all from the original alliance. Liu Shipei will not say it, he was a famous Kuomintang gunman when he was in Japan, and he was out of the power struggle within the Kuomintang very early, and later defected to Duanfang, which is naturally very famous in history. Li Xiehe didn't say anything, he was almost killed by Chen Qimei, Hu Ying was also an activist of the revolution, Sun Yuyun was the governor of Anhui in history, Bai Wenwei let his brother poison Han Yan, and Sun Yuyun fled to Beijing to save his life.

In a sense, in the internal struggle in Beiyang, few of them have brought their opponents to death, and it is probably the Kuomintang that has made a bad start. For the sake of all-out efforts and interests, the practice of not bending all means is even more prevalent within the KMT. All in all, Fang Jianxiong was extremely disgusted with the KMT's approach.

Li Xiehe did not accompany him, not because he didn't want to, but because Fang Jianxiong didn't need it. At this time, he stood at the door early and opened the car door for Dashuai. If you have to say that his demeanor is a bit doglegged, it is not excessive, but it is more of a grateful attitude at work. Words such as crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys, and turning their faces ruthlessly are more appropriate to describe the KMT.

Li Xiehe's respectfulness fell in his eyes, and Cai Ye couldn't help but be a little surprised. He knew Li Xiehe, this is an old-timer who is a revolutionary, when he was in Tokyo, he was also a man of the hour, how could he be so cautious in front of Fang Jianxiong. Subconsciously glanced at Fang Jianxiong, and didn't seem to have the slightest reaction.

"Brother Xiehe, I've been absent from Tokyo for many years, but I didn't expect to meet here." Cai Yi behaved according to his own way, Li Xiehe faced Cai Yi, he didn't have that kind of flattering demeanor, but he was not embarrassed, and said calmly: "Brother Songpo's demeanor is even worse." ”

"Brother Xie He is now the commander of the Songhu garrison, sitting in Shanghai." Fang Jianxiong explained, and Cai Yi asked: "What is the position of garrison commander?" Jiang Fangzhen explained with a smile: "It is equivalent to a military envoy, but it has no political power." It is an iron law that national defense personnel are not allowed to interfere in politics. ”

"Oh." Cai Yi nodded, smiled back, and everyone went inside. After entering the office of the Songhu garrison commander, Li Xiehe had no intention of staying, and withdrew politely. Cai Ye was a little emotional, and after watching Li Xiehe disappear, he said: "Cai has also heard about Shanghai. What a momentum the alliance had back then, but now it is falling apart. ”

"It's no wonder that others are here, when the Alliance's own strength is still very weak, it is still fighting endlessly." Fang Jianxiong came with a little disdain, Cai Yi thought about it when he heard this, and said for a long time: "Don't mention this, continue the topic just now, since the idea of building an army is aimed at Japan and Russia, the problem of insufficient troops cannot be taken lightly." ”

Jiang Fangzhen took over and said, "In addition to the A division, there is also the B division, which will be organized into about sixty to seventy according to the plan. The establishment of the B division is one division and two brigades, with a number of about 12,000 men, and there will be no cavalry regiments, but there will be more technical arms and new types of weapons and equipment. At this stage, the road conditions in the country are too poor, and division-level units are not equipped with heavy artillery for the time being. In the future, transportation improved, and each division was armed with at least one battalion of 105 heavy guns, which was a relatively long-term plan. At the moment there is only one armament of 75 mountain guns. ”

If twenty-four A divisions are nothing, these sixty or seventy B divisions shocked Cai Yi. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the new army was organized and trained, and the plan was to organize the whole country into 36 towns, that is, 36 divisions. Most of these provinces have not been able to meet the requirements of forming a town, and they are all organized into so-called mixed brigades.

Cai Yi's brain is a little insufficient, where does the money come from? Where did the officers come from? Where does the equipment come from? These are all immediate problems, and they are very real difficulties. A little indigestible for a while, Cai Ye fell into a sluggish state, looking at several smiling military bigwigs in front of him. Soon Cai Ye realized a problem, these are absolute military secrets, just tell yourself like this, what does this mean? That's the attitude.

Now that he understood the other party's attitude, Cai Ye was not polite, sat up straight and said: "Fuguo, Baili, Runnong, don't go around in circles with me, to put it bluntly, how many families does the National Defense Force have?" ”

Fang Jianxiong was proud when he saw him like this. looked at Jiang Fangzhen with a smile, he had to come to this job. Jiang Fangzhen has been leading the affairs of the army building in general, and he knows a lot of things. He smiled unhurriedly: "There are two ways to source equipment, the first is external procurement, and the second is self-production. Not surprisingly, next year Wuhan and Wuhu together will be able to produce 100,000 rifles and 500 artillery pieces of all kinds every year. The Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau in Shanghai mainly produces artillery shells and does some things in terms of technology accumulation. We have contracts with the United States and Germany, and the introduction of some technology and loans, capital and equipment is not too much of a problem. At present, the key is still the cultivation of qualified personnel, and the current way is to walk on two legs, one is to send people to Europe and the United States to study military affairs, and the other is to train themselves. At present, Wuhan and Anqing have respectively set up military academies to train grassroots officers, and the Lu University in Wuhu specializes in training high-level staff officers. The army building plan is two years, and the priority is to complete the formation of the A division within half a year, and then move to the northeast, first feel the problem on the side of the couch. Once the northeastern issue is resolved, it will not be difficult for the southern provinces to make a decision. In principle, we do not want to fight a civil war. ”

Cai Ye is a staunch nationalist element of the army, and the scene outlined by Jiang Fangzhen in front of him is fascinating. The coveted dream of a strong country is not difficult to see the light of day after the completion of the million-strong army.

Three days later, on the Wuhu River.

Tuk tuk! The battleship whistle sounded for a long time, and Cai Ye on the deck let the river wind blow his clothes, and his complacent feelings were written on his face. According to Fang Jianxiong's request, he went to Wuhu to recuperate for half a year, and by the way, he studied and studied the new equipment of the National Defense Force, as well as the new tactics derived from it.

The new tactics are indeed based on the premise of new equipment, thinking that when Fang Jianxiong mentioned the new tactics, he casually talked about the rigid linear attack tactics of the Japanese book, and Cai Yi was a little eager to figure out why the National Defense Force led by Fang Jianxiong defeated the invincible Beiyang Army.
