Seeing Qin Yu coming, the people in the staff department got up one after another when they saw Qin Yu coming, in addition to Lan Tianwei and other staff officers, Li Chengwen, Yang Xing, Sun Liechen and others also arrived one after another.

"Master, is it for Anshan's business to call us over in such a hurry?" Blue Sky Blue Road.

"Well, this time there was a problem with the Japanese, the relationship was not good, and I couldn't pee in a pot with them in the future, if I continue to do this, sooner or later I will have to see a battle, and if I don't do it this time, I may start fighting." Qin Yu sat down in front of him, "I called you over today, just to discuss the expansion of the army, now the president is busy exterminating the national defense army, and most of the main forces have been transferred to the south, Fengtian has been prosperous in the past two years, the Japanese have seen the slander, and sooner or later they will provoke trouble, and the expansion of the army is a matter of time, so I simply took advantage of this opportunity to do it." ”

"Yang Xing, you come to be the commander of the 27th Division, send a telegram to Chen Shengwu in Benxi, the 1st Mixed Brigade, expand to the 1st Division on the spot, and Chen Shengwu will be the commander of the 1st Division. The second mixed brigade was expanded into the Feng 2nd Division, Brother Zanyao, you will be the commander of this division. The mixed 1st Regiment in Liaodong was expanded into the Feng 3rd Division, and Lao Li, you should be the commander of this division. ”

"Division, a mixed regiment over there has been directly expanded into a division, is the step a little too big?" Li Chengwen is usually very arrogant, and when he talks about the forbidden things, he is not ambiguous.

"The Second Mixed Brigade was originally the establishment of the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Brigade, you take a regiment there, Liaodong is close to Dalian, if you really start fighting, the 3rd Division will bear the brunt, and it really needs some old bones and blood to guard there."

"In addition, the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th divisions were expanded. The division commanders are Bai Wenwei and Yang Jianhua. Zuo Yunong, Shang Zhen. ”

"Division, I just received a telegram that the 6th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army in Anshan is heading for the county seat!" Ding Cheng hurriedly walked to the door and knocked on the door. "In addition, the Japanese military attache in Mukden, Koizumi Masayasu, asks to see him!"

"Let him wait."

"It seems that the Japanese are really ready to make a big move this time." Zuo Yunong frowned.

"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth, all these years. I always play some bearded bandits who can't be on the stage, and it's not interesting to be tight, and it's only when I do it with the Japanese that it's exciting. Li Chengwen licked his tongue excitedly.

"It is best not to start fighting now, because the intensity of this army expansion is too great, and the establishment has been reorganized, which will have a relatively large impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops." Blue Sky is a wise way.

"Yes, seven divisions have been expanded at a time, and I naturally don't want to fight with the Japanese at this time, but if I ride on my head. That can't be helped, the Republic of China has been suppressed for too long, and now that the central government and the national defense army are pinching each other, if they really face a large-scale attack by the Japanese army, they may be able to stop the civil war and unite with the outside world, maybe it will be beneficial to oppose the Japanese at this time. Qin Yu said with his hand on the table. Therefore, although all of you here have been collectively promoted, their relative responsibilities have also increased a lot. It's still the same as before, immediately pull up the combat effectiveness of the troops for me, and the recruits for you are not farmers who don't understand everything, they have all gone through the recruit training camp and have a certain military foundation, in short. If anyone can't lead the troops, they will abdicate for me. Did you hear me clearly! ”

"Yes, Dashuai!" Most of the people here have become division commanders, and it is inappropriate to call Qin Yu the division seat, Qin Yu is the acting general Fengtian during this time. Now that seven divisions have been expanded in one go, the position of this Fengtian general is also deserved.

"Brother Ji Hao, the 30,000 recruits in the recruit training camp, as well as the 30,000 people who were previously assigned to the Police Department, all of them will be assigned to the newly expanded 7 divisions this time, these troops are scattered in various places, how to deploy, the General Staff Department must spend some thought, rush to make a plan overnight, and the police in various places will leave a little seed, the garrison force will almost be emptied, and some more police will be recruited. This time, there is no need to go through militarized training, and you will be able to take up your post after a little training. ”

Regarding the plan to expand the army, Qin Yu has already thought about it countless times in his mind, he doesn't need to look at the plan to say it, and he will expand the army directly into the recruit training camp in the future, and he will no longer need to borrow the signboard of the police, anyway, now Yuan Shikai's energy is restrained by the Protector Army, and he can't control Fengtian, once the matter of claiming the emperor spreads, Yuan Shikai's control over the Republic of China is not as good as before, and Fengtian no longer needs to look at Yuan Shikai's face to act.

Lan Tianwei nodded, after the outbreak of the European War, Fengtian made rapid economic progress, so that Lan Tianwei saw the feasibility of the road of industrial rejuvenation, a Fengtian province is enough to raise more than 100,000 troops, and can also maintain a large amount of investment in education and infrastructure, at this time, if one-third of the provinces of the Republic of China can reach this level, the Republic of China can also rank among the last of the great powers. At this time, Lan Tianwei completely stepped on the huge warship of Fengtian.

"From the 27th Division to the 7th Division, the eight divisions, and the cavalry brigade were all equipped with American water rifles, except for the 27th Division, which was equipped with 30 76MM field guns, each division was temporarily equipped with two reduced artillery battalions, each battalion with 15 76MM guns. 24 150MM SCHNEIDER MOUNTAIN HOWITZERS WERE DIRECTLY ORGANIZED INTO A HEAVY ARTILLERY BATTALION. In terms of heavy machine guns, each division will temporarily set up six machine gun companies, and each company will implement the system of four guns, and hand grenades will be distributed to each division one after another this month. ”

In addition to the reorganization of the infantry, the Ca30 bombers originally purchased from Italy were organized into a separate flying squadron, and the strength of this air force has not been disclosed to the public for the time being. In addition, the United Arms Company on the US side has already produced 30 Panther tanks, 24 Jaguar tanks, and 24 "Condor bombers" that have completed testing on the US side and will be shipped to Mukden in batches within half a month. Even if Japan wants to start a war, it will have to go through a period of preparation, with these weapons, in addition to artillery, the Feng army will have an absolute advantage in tanks and aviation, and bomb the Japanese artillery positions unscrupulously, in this case, Qin Yu is confident that he will fight a local war with the Japanese army. Even if the current expansion is a bit rushed, it is not without a chance of victory. After surviving the initial stage, even if the Japanese army increased its troops in large numbers, it would not be easy to take Mukden, and it was impossible for the central government to sit idly by and watch Japan invade and annex Mukden. Of course. This is the worst-case scenario.

This important meeting did not last long, and Yang Xing, Sun Liechen and others, who had received the order, began to leave one after another and began to work on the expansion of the troops.

"Yang Xing! After you complete the handover with Sun Liechen, you will go directly to the 27th Division, the Japanese have already mobilized the 6th Garrison Brigade in Anshan, and I am afraid that they will have to make a move on the police barracks in Anshan. If they dare to do anything, they will immediately send troops to me to surround the Japanese troops in Mukden City. Ding Cheng, you send a report to Chen Shengwu and the Taonan Cavalry Brigade, and tell them to stay on guard and listen to Hou's orders. IN ADDITION, YOU CONTACT ZHANG SHUN AND ASK HIM TO PREPARE ANOTHER 50,000 GUNS, 60 76MM MOUNTAIN GUNS, AND 40 FIELD GUNS. The sooner it arrives in Mukden, the better. ”

There are good and bad things about running an arsenal in the United States, and it is also a construction of an arsenal, which is produced in the United States, and it can only be shipped through Chasayev. The cost is also much higher.

However, there are disadvantages and advantages, the same arsenal was built, built in Mukden, and it was absolutely impossible to increase production to this extent in less than a year. Technicians over there in the United States, mechanics. And mechanical procurement is much more convenient than on the side of Mukden. Talents engaged in the military industry can be recruited as long as they offer salaries. Follow in Mukden to Hanyang, Texas. The hardships of digging people everywhere in Shanghai are much easier than it. In addition, in the purchase of raw materials, it is not as convenient and fast as the United States, of course, there is also the quality of production, the industrial base of the United States is much stronger than that of Tsarist Russia, and it is also a water bead. Not to mention the appearance of the products produced in the United States, they are slightly superior in overall performance. Although the cost is a little higher, it is also high and limited, Qin Yu is the actual controller of Blackjack Group, for Qin Yu. It's also just a matter of pocket-in, pocket-out. It is also normal to pay a little extra money compared to occupying a place in the US arms production and sales market. There is no return without giving.

"Yes, Dashuai!"

Qin Yu will not sit back and wait for death like Zhang Shaoshuai in history, and pin his hopes on the hands of the Japanese. If it really starts, Qin Yu will first solve the Japanese garrisons in various parts of Mukden. At this time, the Kwantung Army was not very strong in terms of armament or strength, and it was not difficult to solve most of it in one go, not to mention that it was all cleaned up.

Fortunately, 60,000 new recruits, including the police force, were trained, and with the addition of water rifles purchased from the United States, and a large number of artillery, these people could be trained into an army as quickly as possible.

For the convenience of the expansion of the army, most of the previous police forces were distributed in the vicinity of several main forces, and once it was decided to expand and mobilize, although it was a little cumbersome to deploy with each other, it would not take too long.

For a time, signs of a large number of police personnel could be seen in various parts of Mukden Province, and these police officers drove directly to the nearby military station, where they were armed on the spot, and their police uniforms were replaced by military uniforms. At the same time, the whole story of the Anshan Station incident was also published in the major newspapers in Mukden. At this time, the role of establishing a complete staff system is reflected, if there is no foundation laid by Lan Tianwei, even if Qin Yu has absolute authority in the Feng army, this set of orders will inevitably appear flustered. At present, the general staff is running at a high speed, and although there are many orders, there are very few problems in the integration of troops in various localities, and in general they are busy but not chaotic.

After arranging most of the affairs, Qin Yu met with the Japanese military attaché.

"I've seen General Qin!" Koizumi Zhengtai had been waiting a little impatient for a long time, but when he really saw Qin Yu who dared to hit someone at any time, Koizumi Zhengyasu still maintained a little respect on his face.

"Mr. Koizumi, the Anshan Station incident is not what you say is going on, we all know what happened. I know your intentions, let's not beat around the bush, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to fight, but I will never accept blackmail. Say, what are you going to do? Qin Yu went straight to the tunnel with a single knife.

"Fengtian Province is now experiencing extremely rapid economic development, and General Qin is a personal wool spinning, leather goods, winery, as well as Benxi Iron and Steel, and shipyards in Taonan. Even if Huaxing Bank's profit is not counted, General Qin's personal annual income will not be less than 30 million, and it is likely to reach 40 million. Once the war starts, these gains will be wasted, and General Qin will be willing to pay this money? Koizumi Zhengtai stared at Qin Yu, Qin Yu is a very practical person, and he rarely has a cold to verbal threats, and verbal blackmail is nothing to him.

"Don't talk like I'm the only one making money. The annual income of the South Manchurian Railway is at least 10 million or more, and the Okura Group of Okura and Mitsui Chaebol of your country transport ore, grain, and timber from Jilin every year. And the coal that was transported out of Mukden will not benefit less than mine. If it's a war. You also have no more wealth, and if you are willing to give it, how can I give it up. When it comes to my position, money is just a number to me. ”

Even in later generations, the money is more than 100 million, and money is not much different from a string of data, and 10 million in this era is far more than 100 million in later generations. Now Qin Yu doesn't know how much the property under his hands is worth. If you count the United States, it would have exceeded 100 million long ago.

"So General Qin really doesn't intend to give in at all?" Koizumi Masatasu said in a deep voice.

"This matter is entirely due to your country. What concessions do I need to make? At most, I can compensate the wounded in your country for all medical expenses, and I can also give some compensation to the soldiers of your country who died in shootouts. If your country wants more, it will only be a fish that will break the net. Qin Yu said.

"The Feng army is only 30,000 people, I'm afraid that even if the fish dies, the net will not break." Koizumi Masatai suddenly smiled, "Since General Qin is so stubborn. Without compromising sincerity, we have nothing more to say. China can send 50,000 troops into Shandong. By the way, I forgot to tell you that in order to retaliate for the atrocities of your police in Anshan, the headquarters of our Kwantung Army has ordered the 6th Garrison Brigade stationed outside Anshan City, as well as the 2nd Field Artillery Wing stationed in Haicheng, to assemble in Anshan County. I'm afraid that your garrison in Anshan will not be able to keep it. Seeing that Qin Yu was so tough, Koizumi Zhengtai threw out a powerful magic code.

"Really?" Qin Yu got up, and in the surprised gaze of Koizumi Zhengtai, he lifted the phone and dialed, "Hey, I'm Qin Yu." Immediately send troops to surround the 16th Wing and the 2nd Garrison Brigade of the Japanese army stationed outside Mukden City, and set up the artillery to the door of the Japanese camp! The Japanese army is forbidden to enter and exit, ready to fight at any time! ”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu looked at Xiaola Zhengtai and said, "I don't want to fight, but if you want to take revenge on the Anshan side, I don't mind retaliating back in Fengtian City." ”

"Yaga! General Qin, you are trying to provoke a war! Koizumi Zhengtai was shocked and angry when he heard Qin Yu's words, he never thought that Qin Yu would be so tough.

"You want to start a war." Qin Yu said, "I just want to tell you with practical actions that I am not afraid of war, and I want to take Mukden, at least 100,000 troops to fill this hole." ”

"In that case, we'll see!" Koizumi Zhengtai dropped such a cruel sentence and left in a hurry, he had to report Qin Yu's latest order to the Feng Fang before the Anshan 2nd Garrison Brigade made a move. Otherwise, a wing and a garrison brigade of more than 3,000 people of the Japanese army in Mukden City would have suffered a devastating blow.

"Go to the U.S. Consulate." After Koizumi Zhengtai left, Qin Yu ate something casually and got into the car.

"General Qin, welcome to our consulate, you are really a rare guest." In the past, Qin Yu and Tsarist Russia, the German consul were very close. He also had some business dealings with the United States, but he was not very familiar with the American consul Maynard. In fact, with the increase of the Blackjack Group's industry in the United States, many machinery can be purchased directly by the Blackjack Group in the United States, without going through Maynard, otherwise Maynard, the consul, will earn a commission from the middle, and the price of supply will be more expensive than that of direct purchase in the United States.

"Although we don't have much contact, we have been getting more and more economic contacts with your country during this time." Qin Yu said with a smile. "I believe that there will be more and more cooperation in the future."

Maynard nodded, as a consul abroad, more of his job was to maintain the interests of American businessmen and expatriates in Mukden. It is also an indisputable fact that the rise of Mukden has raised his status.

"It's so late, General Qin hasn't had dinner, if you don't mind, you can stay and have a meal." Maynard asked.

"Okay, anyway, this time I'm looking for Mr. Consul to have something to do, so you're welcome." Qin Yu nodded.

Western-style steak, butter, toast. There are also one or two plates of Chinese-style stir-fry.

"General Qin came in a hurry, he didn't have time to make full preparations, and I ask General Qin not to dislike it!" Maynard Road.

Hearing Maynard's tone with the characteristics of the Republic of China, Qin Yu said with a smile, "Mr. Consul, it seems that you have been in the Northeast for a short time, and you have begun to follow the customs of the locals. ”

"My identity is more inclined to be a soldier, and I like to speak straight, Mr. Consul, I need the help of your country."

"General Qin, please speak."

"The conflict between our soldiers and the Japanese at the Anshan railway station must have been heard of by Mr. Consul, and the cause of the incident was that the Japanese warriors beat young women and children at the railway station for no reason. I think any country, a grown man with a bit of humanity, would be ashamed of this kind of behavior, and our soldiers could not stop it and clashed with each other. Later, the Japanese were dissatisfied, and led troops to trespass into our police camp in Anshan, and an exchange of fire broke out, and the Japanese side killed nearly 100 people in the shootout. Qin Yu directly explained his intentions.

"General Qin, nearly 100 people died on the Japanese side, the nature of this matter is already very serious, although the Japanese side is at fault first, but it cannot be denied that their national strength is extremely powerful for your country." Maynard frowned.

"I know this, but the Japanese have been too rampant lately, and Europe has not been plunged into a big war before, and the Japanese have relented, and now the European powers have played a role in containing Japan. If Japan is allowed to unscrupulously encroach on its interests in China, your country's right to speak in China will also be weakened indefinitely, and it will not be easy for Japan to spit out the bones that have eaten in its mouth. ”

"That being said, it is inconvenient for our country to directly intervene in the dispute between your country and Japan, and the Japanese are arrogant and rude and do not pay much attention to some verbal warnings."

"Mr. Consul don't worry about this, the Japanese army is strong, but the Feng army will not compromise easily, I just need to ensure that your country can guarantee the supply of arms to our side at the right time, as long as the source of weapons is not cut off, I can guarantee that the Japanese army cannot completely occupy Mukden."

"This matter is very important, and it is not good for me to make a decision on my own, and I need to note my country's minister to China, and the specific result cannot be guaranteed." Maynard Road.

"Well, I'm not going to give too much to Japan." Qin Yu nodded, it was enough to reveal this meaning to the American side. (To be continued......)
