Du Baosan checked left and right for fear that the wall had ears, it was very quiet and safe, and he didn't have any ears, so he pulled him to sit on a sofa. He took out a cigarette and handed it over, Ren Yuanxing took it, Du Baosan lit it for him first, then lit a cigarette for himself, took a hard puff and said: "This time, Feng Shuai has Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, Principal Jiang, Liu Xiang, and you, and I don't know who else is." But have you ever thought about it, who are these people? ”

"Who?" Ren Yuanxing smiled, "You're thinking too much, aren't you?" ”

Du Baosan hated him and said: "Fanchen, are you really stupid or fake stupid, they can't lead troops after they are appointed commander this time, and their age is here, and the meaning of being marshal is that they can't grasp real power." Why can't you see it? Whether it is Liu Xiang or Zhang Zuolin, they are all Xiushuai's henchmen, why Xiushuai gave them the title of marshal, it was to use high-ranking officials to tie them up by his side. Why are you stupid enough to join in the fun? ”

Ren Yuanxing was told by him, but he didn't know how to answer, he has always been consciously smart, but today it was the first time he thought about this problem, if it wasn't for Du Baosan reminding himself, he really didn't pay attention to the meaning of this marshal.

"Yes, you have worked hard in the Western Regions, and I know best what you have done, and everyone can see it. In this battle for the Western Regions, every action planning and arrangement is closely related to you, and it is inseparable from your credit. It stands to reason that you deserve to be the commander, but have you thought about it? Among the brothers, you are the only one who has been made a commander, and you will be the target in the future. And also. Is it because you are young that you are handsome at a young age? Xiu Shuai is still handsome, and if you are not handsome, you will be handsome? You, you, I know you don't like to compete with Lu Da and Baoding. But you can't be ignorant of everything. Du Baosan smoked a cigarette while persuading, threw away the cigarette butt after saying this, and stepped on it with his right foot vigorously, "Fanchen, if I were you, I wouldn't accept it, don't worry." We are all Xiushuai's henchmen, don't run over, run ahead of Xiushuai. We are brothers. That's why I persuaded you like this, this is also offending people, if you don't listen, don't blame my brother for not reminding you. ”

Ren Yuanxing pondered for a while. Said: "Stand up." Actually, it's not like I haven't thought about what you said, it's just ...... It doesn't matter if I bring troops or not in the future......"

"!" Du Bao said, "Where is there no factional struggle?" You have to stand in a line for everything, look at Mao Ziping, he was angry at first, but now he is also standing behind the guards? You, think about it more, as a younger brother, you will be given good words and bitter medicine. ”

"Hey." Ren Yuanxing smiled bitterly. "You say, what should I do next? You give a build yì. Standing line. ”

Du Baosan said: "The best thing is that you explain to Xiushuai that you resolutely refuse to be marshal, even if others persuade you, don't accept it, you say that it is good to wait until the second time to be marshal and the brothers will be marshal together." You are a good person in this way, and it also makes Xiushuai feel that you are a person who advances and retreats, not the kind of person who does not know proportion. The second time you are in charge, you must be in first place. ”

"I'll think about it." Ren Yuanxing said with some trouble.

The guard at the door knocked on the door and reported that the plane had been checked and was ready, Ren Yuanxing smiled and quipped Du Baosan: "It seems that you have offended Minister He to your home, and Big Brother did not come to see you off." ”

Du Baosan whispered: "No way, if I don't jump off the boat again, the boat will sink." ”

"What do you mean?" Ren Yuanxing was stunned.

Du Baosan smiled: "I don't understand what it means? You're not a little bit of a star, where did your wit go in the first place? ”

After the plane took off, Ren Yuanxing watched his old friend fly south and fly away, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, Du Baosan was right, he offended countless people by being marshal by himself, but he was able to marry many people next time he was marshal - but the key is that if he is marshal next time, with his military exploits in the Western Regions, he will definitely be the first, which means that he will be mixed into the struggle between the Baoding faction and the Lu Da faction and other factions in the future anyway. Just because he is a smart person, he knows that Xiu Shuai definitely doesn't like factional battles. Are there any generals in the Wehrmacht who can fight better than themselves? There must be, such as Fei Chaogui, such as Zhao Qing, but they can't get their own chances, because the traces of factions on their bodies are too obvious.

If you join the first batch of marshals, it obviously means that you don't want to fight for power, and discuss state affairs with the elderly, but if you are stimulated to participate in the second batch of marshals, after winning the first place, you will inevitably stand in a team. Ren Yuanxing sat in the car and smiled bitterly, he is really not a person left and right, and if he enters and offends people, he will also offend people when he retreats, Lu Da's department, Baoding department, and Guard's department, why don't you establish a faction?

How good is it that you build a faction by yourself, build a clear stream system, do not participate in the struggle between factions, do your job well, and complete whatever tasks you have above? This idea is relatively good, wait until you meet Zhu Yongquan and tell him, plus Du Baosan and a Li Pinxian who withdrew from the Lu Da system, it will be good now. It's just that now this handsome matter is indeed his most headache choice, and if he advances, he will be alone, and he will be on the cusp of retreating, where should he go?

After Ren Yuanxing returned to the Ministry of National Defense, Wang Maoru called him to discuss and said to him: "Fanchen, I intend to let you enter the staff headquarters, what do you think?" ”

Ren Yuanxing immediately said: "Obey Xiushuai's arrangement. ”

"Well, that's good." Wang Maoru said, "The work of the General Staff Headquarters is increasing day by day, and the commanders of the whole army will be rotated at the end of the year, and the whole army will be restructured in a few years. ”

"Restructuring?" Ren Yuanxing said, "Ban the division and regiment system? ”

"Yes." Wang Maoru said with a smile, "This is a more important task than the rotation of officers, and the use of Division A and Division B to replace the existing division and regiment system is becoming more and more inconvenient in modern warfare." With the increasing number of modern wars, armored troops, artillery, and baggage will occupy a lot of resources in the future. In the past, it was people who were beaten, but in the future, it was money. In this battle of Tongguò, we realized that armored forces are extremely lethal and destructive both in attack and defense, so our army will gradually increase the proportion of artillery and armored troops in the army to form a modern army. It's been a long and hard job, and as the only officer with extremely combat experience in these two years, you have a say in the matter. I will instruct you to form a squad to comprehensively realize the restructuring and modernization of our national defense forces. Do you have faith? ”

"Yes." Ren Yuanxing said immediately.

"Okay, I guess you'll be very busy in the future, and now you have time to spend more time with your family." Wang Maoru said with a smile, "How old is your baby, it seems to be a ......"

"Nine years old, but it's not a weapon, I can't read books, but I like guns and machinery, I don't see him for a year, I'm really in my hometown, I'm afraid that his grandfather is alone." Ren Yuanxing said with a smile.

Wang Maoru said: "You only have such a son?" ”

"It's too busy." Ren Yuanxing said with a smile, "My wife's belly is not angry, just such a one, I envy Xiushuai and many children." Children are all given by God, I must have offended God before I was reincarnated, just give me such one, haha. ”

Wang Maoru also smiled: "You are just too busy, in this way, bring your family to Beijing, and you can find a satisfactory villa in the family area of Fengtai Daying." It is the official residence of the Ministry of Defense officials, and serving officials of the Ministry of Defense will live here. ”

"Okay." Ren Yuanxing thought about it, or Du Baosan's advice on not being a marshal, he had been thinking about this problem along the way, and after thinking about it, he felt that this marshal was actually a fictitious position and an honor, and it didn't explain anything in itself, so he refused it. But I was a little overwhelmed by how to refuse to go, so I hesitated and didn't know whether to say it or not.

Wang Maoru saw that he seemed to have something to say in his eyes when he stood in front of him, but he stopped talking, thinking to himself what was wrong with this Ren Yuanxing, he seemed to have encountered a problem when he had been behaving properly, so he asked, "Fanchen, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that your expression is constipated, what do you have to say? Or is there something intractable to solve? ”

Ren Yuanxing made up his mind at this time, suddenly stood up and saluted, and said resolutely: "Xiushuai, in fact, I ...... I have decided not to accept the title of commander this time. ”

"Huh?" Wang Maoru was so surprised that he even stood up and asked, "Why?" ”

Ren Yuanxing hesitated and said, "Age." ”

"Thirty-five, you're thirty-five enough." Wang Maoru said.

Ren Yuanxing stood up and held back for a long time before saying: "This time, Feng Shuai Xiu Shuai was officially promoted to the rank of marshal, how dare he be in the same rank as Xiu Shuai, so he resolutely does not accept the title of marshal, if Xiu Shuai insists on this, Fan Chen has no choice but to resign and no longer serve as an officer of the National Defense Forces." ”

Wang Maoru smiled and asked him to sit down, and said, "Since this is the case, I promise you, you go down first." ”

"Yes."

When Ren Yuanxing walked to the door, Wang Maoru said to him: "You did a good job, but there will be some small troubles in the future, but I will support you behind your back." ”

"Yes, Xiushuai." Ren Yuanxing saluted.

After Ren Yuanxing closed the door, Wang Maoru laughed in his seat, he was able to resist the temptation to refuse to accept the rank of marshal, it seemed that it could indeed be used. Only by advancing and retreating to a certain degree is a person with a long-term vision. Judging from the nature of this marshal, this marshal is still mainly to eliminate the old forces, and all those who rank in the rank of marshal must give up the opportunity to directly lead the troops, and even hand over military power to the trio in the future. Ren Yuanxing resisted the temptation, but there was progress, and people couldn't be too greedy. When he was appointed commander for the second time, naturally Ren Yuanxing must be the first marshal no matter what.
