Chapter 16 Elite?

Just when the seeds of the Red Revolution were quietly taking root in ancient China.

In the Nanyuan barracks, the training of the model battalion of the 13th Division of the Army was in full swing.

"Hold your feet high! Stand up straight and don't shake! ”

The tall and burly Chang Ruiqing walked around in front of the recruit team with his hands behind his back, still wearing his washed coarse cloth soldier's military uniform, wearing leggings, wearing cloth shoes and pretending to "share weal and woe" there, and a cold gaze under the big-brimmed hat swept through the team over and over again, so that every recruit did not dare to move, and tried his best to maintain the posture of moving forward.

It took about ten minutes before someone couldn't help but start swaying from side to side.

These recruits have been repeatedly tempered by more than 30 graduates of the Baoding Military Academy for almost two months! Moreover, it is supplied with white flour and fat, not only has it completely taken off the habits of peasants, but with the heroic posture of a soldier, even its body has become a lot stronger! Although there are only a few hundred people, after forming a perfect battalion phalanx, it also gives people the feeling of a mighty division, not only mighty, but also a feeling of prosperity, which is very different from those dull Beiyang soldiers. Even those Beiyang officers and soldiers who were stationed in the Nanyuan camp with the model battalion occasionally saw the training and military appearance of the model battalion, and they couldn't help but praise the big brother.

Although the warlord bureaucratic system in Beiyang is somewhat rotten and unbearable, after all, it is a troubled era at the moment, and there is no reason for each faction to dislike the elite soldiers and strong generals. The news of Nanyuan's elite soldiers naturally spread among the Beiyang system generals in Beijing, and the deputy army commander Xu Shuzheng, who was busy with official duties, also quickly heard the news, and today he took some time out of his busy schedule, and he didn't say hello to the 13th Division, so he ran to the Nanyuan barracks to inspect the microservice.

When he came to the barracks, he didn't let Li Jincai (actually not in the barracks) and Chang Ruiqing be alarmed, so he took a few relatives to stand on a high place and watched from a distance with binoculars.

As soon as the training was over, the recruits of the model battalion began to work in pairs, put on protective clothing, and began to practice stabbing with wooden guns. Chang Ruiqing, Wu Shi, and Bai Chongxi also wore protective clothing like armor, patrolled the playground with a wooden gun, and from time to time they would personally go down to the field to give a demonstration to the recruits.

Xu Shuzheng is also a Japanese non-commissioned officer, and he is also an expert in fighting bayonets or something, so he can naturally see the depth at a glance, these recruits in front of him cannot be compared with the infantry of the Japanese Army, but the bayonets in Beiyang are stronger than them, I am afraid that it is the third division of the direct army, mixed into the elite of the 16th brigade, as for the team of the Anhui department, it is probably the fourth division...... But those are all elite soldiers who have been in the army for many years! The recruits who have just been training for two months in front of them actually have such a look, which is really impressive.

Xu Shuzheng put down the binoculars in his hand and said to himself: "Not bad, not bad, really good, in less than three months, a battalion of elite soldiers has been trained, this Chang Yaoru seems to have real skills." ”

"That's not the second adult, you have a discerning talent, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't know where he was in the cat."

A somewhat flattering voice sounded in Xu Shuzheng's ears, he looked back, it turned out to be a regiment commander of the 13th Division, with a smoky face, standing there with a little trembling legs and stomach, this person is also surnamed Li, and is the nephew of Li Jincai's own family. When Li Jincai was not in the barracks, he was in charge of taking care of the house. However, Xu Shuzheng didn't see him when he came, and he probably smoked his big cigarette in the house in Fengtai County. That's the case with Beiyang at the moment, except for those really elite, ordinary troops, middle and senior officers rarely enter the barracks, and no one cares about training.

Xu Shuzheng glanced at this head Li, to be honest, he really wanted to drive him home to eat old rice. But the 13th Division of the Army has long been the private soldier of the Li family, and he, the deputy commander of the army, really can't manage it very much.

"Oh, it's Captain Li." Xu Shuzheng raised his hand and said lightly: "I'm just walking around casually, it's not an inspection, there's nothing for you here, just send someone to call Chang Ruiqing over." ”

The head of Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly gave Xu Shuzheng a military salute, and sent someone to find Chang Ruiqing, and then went to arrange a banquet for reception...... Although Xu Shuzheng is ironclad, he will not stay for dinner.

……

"Zheng Gong!" Hearing that Xu Shuzheng actually ran to the Nanyuan camp, Chang Ruiqing naturally didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly took off his protective clothing, and came to Xu Da Da in front of the deputy chief at a trot.

"Well, people have also lost some weight, and it has been hard to train for more than two months, right?" Xu Shuzheng glanced at Chang Ruiqing in front of him, and found that the other party had actually reduced some of them, it seemed that the training was really ruthless, and he had trained himself to lose weight.

"It's not hard, where can you be afraid of hard work?" Chang Ruiqing smiled, glanced at Xu Shuzheng, and said with a smile: "Gong Zheng, I look at you as if you are a little slimmer, isn't it because of the student's "Theory of Participating in the War and Saving the Country"?" ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled bitterly and beckoned to Chang Ruiqing: "Come with me." As he spoke, he walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and after walking for a while, he saw that several accompanying officers of the 13th Division were still standing in place and did not follow, so he sighed and said to Chang Ruiqing: "Yaoru, I was really guessed by you, and I have been in a mess because of my participation in the war in the past two months." Li Bodhisattva disagrees, and the Congress can't pass it, it's really annoying! ”

"That's to be expected." Chang Ruiqing smiled slightly: "President Li Da is against the prime minister in everything, it is normal for him to disagree, as for the members of the National Assembly, most of them are Kuomintang, and it is normal to oppose our Beiyang bill, but these parliamentarians are not loyal people, as long as the prime minister gives them grace and power, it is not difficult to collect it for his own use, as long as the parliament can pass the bill to participate in the war, the president has no way to oppose it." ”

Xu Shuzheng sighed, shook his head, and did not speak. Chang Ruiqing's eyes rolled, he took two steps forward, walked to Xu Shuzheng's side, and asked in a low voice: "Gong Zheng, is there a difference of opinion within the Beiyang group?" ”

Xu Shuzheng gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I don't even care about the interests of the group, I'm afraid it's going to fall apart if it goes on like this!" ”

"The Overseer doesn't agree to send troops into battle?" Chang Ruiqing was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically. In his past memories, most of the members of the Overseer had agreed to go to war. After all, Duan Qirui is still the co-owner of Beiyang at the moment, and people are not too faceless.

"It's not that we don't agree to go to war, but we disagree with the size of the troops." Xu Shuzheng sighed again, and gave a general account of the series of behind-the-scenes transactions and struggles that have been waged around participating in the war in the past two months. It turned out that most of the leaders of the Beiyang system expressed different opinions on participating in the European war, not that they did not agree to participate in the war, but that they did not agree to form a large-scale army to participate in the war! He even did not agree to send troops from the troops he controlled to participate in the European war.

After hearing this, Chang Ruiqing also sighed in disappointment, frowned, and said: "The president and the parliamentarians are easy to deal with, but if the generals of the Beiyang system also oppose it, Zheng Gong, it seems that he has to give in." ”

"What do you think too?" Xu Shuzheng looked unwilling, he was silent for a moment, and then said: "If there are fewer troops, our value will be low." ”

Chang Ruiqing knew that the other party was asking him for advice, and it was also possible that he was examining himself, and maybe he wanted to promote him in the future. At present, the center is still in the hands of the Anhui system, and he also wants to expand his strength again, so Xu Shuzheng's big tree still has to be firmly held. He thought about it quietly, and said slowly: "The current situation is that the weak cadres and strong branches are reversed, and the generals who lead the troops at the local level naturally do not want the central government to be able to control a large number of strong troops, because in that case, the central government will sooner or later cut the feudal domain." If the central government wants them to support the formation of a large-scale participating army, the only way may be to let the overseers of the Beiyang system get a share of the fighting army. ”
