"A few new divisions have been built, and Xu Lanzhou's subordinates will be directly merged into the 2nd Division, and a few thousand people will be transferred from the 2nd Division to set up a shelf for the newly formed two divisions, do you think this is good?" Blue Sky Blue Road.

"Well, Xu Lanzhou's army division can't be completely cut, otherwise it won't look good." Qin Yu nodded and approved Lan Tianwei's suggestion.

"What's going on with the Aviation Division?" Qin Yu asked.

"There are 4 bomber squads and 1 destroyer squad on the Aviation Division. A total of 48 bombers, 12 destroyers. ”

"However, the aircraft factory has developed a new bomber with a modified version of the Condor, and the engine horsepower has been increased, and the bomb load has been increased to 2,100 kilograms with a slight increase in speed. I have personally seen it today, and this new type of bomber is still waiting for the name of the marshal. Lan Tianwei said with a smile, with the emerging status of the aircraft in the war, the senior generals of the Feng army also paid more and more attention to air combat. The new model, Lan Tianwei, will inevitably run over to take a look.

"So the vultures we're equipped with now have become obsolete." Even if it cost a lot of money to buy these vultures, Qin Yu was very happy, which showed that Ma Tianhao and Ba Yuzao were still very powerful, of course, all these people were involved in the design and manufacturing process of vultures, and the vultures were originally created by them, and they had a certain foundation for making bombers, and it was not surprising that they could launch a new model so quickly.

"The bomb load is 2,100 kilograms, and the bomb load is several times that of before, so let's see if you can sell the Condor-1 bombers in service to Britain and France." Lan Tianwei asked.

"It shouldn't be a problem." Qin Yu thought about it for a while, since there is a new type of bomber, the outdated vultures can naturally be sold if they can be sold, and it is really okay to sell them to Tsarist Russia. However, the U.S. government's aircraft orders are huge, and it is possible to resell Eagle Airlines to the U.S. government. The Feng army will replace all the vultures in service with improved ones, and in the case of the same number, the ability to strike at the enemy will be increased several times.

"Let the designers at the aircraft factory choose their own names, and if someone else designs the aircraft, they naturally have the right to name it. Besides, a few drops of ink in my stomach are clear to familiar people. Don't embarrass me. ”

"Do you want to produce some of this new bomber first?" Lan Tianwei asked.

"Well, let's produce 5 squads first, and I'll find a way to sell them, it's really not good, Fengjun himself can afford it." Qin Yu thought for a moment and said.

"I heard that Japan is also engaged in similar aircraft research, but it has not yet come up with a suitable prototype enough.

5 squads, that's 60 bombers. Such a huge fleet of aircraft, coupled with a multiplied bombing capability several times, will be a nightmare for the enemy.

"Yes, the Japanese are also very powerful, and they even found out that the condors of the Aviation Department were purchased from the United States, and they also went to the United States to introduce production licenses, but the result was naturally not good. As a last resort, I bought 20 planes at one time. Qin Yu said with a smile. Regarding this move of the Japanese in the United States, Qin Yu is naturally clear.

"That's kind of interesting." Lan Tianwei smiled when he heard this, "It's still handsome and has vision, and the layout of new weapons is unmatched, and our Fengtian has spent several years in the development of aircraft, and has invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources." Naturally, it is not something that the Japanese will be able to catch up with in the short term. ”

"Now Japan only knows that we bought the Condor, and we don't know about the new Storm fighters, if there is a conflict, those Storms will surprise the Japanese." Qin Yu was not without malice. If the condors bought by the Japanese meet a storm fighter in the sky, it will undoubtedly be a one-sided aerial slaughter.

"That's right, Dashuai. I heard that the Jaguar and Panther tanks have also been improved in the United States, or will the tanks on the tank teaching brigade also be replaced? The failure rate of the active tanks of the teaching brigade is still too high. "Since you can change planes, you can also change tanks.

"Well, I won't forget that if you don't say that." Qin Yu nodded, "I plan to add another 24 tanks to the teaching brigade." ”

"Fortunately, it was taken out of Huaxing Bank, otherwise this year's Fengtian finances don't know how big a hole they would have to dig out." Left and right Huaxing Bank first took the money on the front, Tian Helin said with a relaxed smile, the rotation of the active tanks and aircraft has increased a lot, naturally it is also a lot of expenses, in addition to these, this year's new aviation school, the aircraft factory designed a new type of training aircraft, and produced 20 at one time. The investment in the newly established tracks and engine manufacturing plant is also expensive.

"I heard that the marshal is still preparing to form a navy, but I don't know if this matter is true or not." Later, Tian Helin asked tentatively again.

"The production of warships will be postponed until next year." Qin Yu nodded, and did not directly deny it, no matter how small one or two destroyers are, there are more than one million, and more than one million can already buy dozens of tanks, for the current Fengtian, dozens of tanks can play a far more role than one or two ordinary warships at this time. It is not possible to build the navy for a long time, and a delay of a year will not lead to any serious consequences.

"After this expansion, the Feng army will reach 13 integrated divisions, 1 cavalry brigade, 1 heavy artillery regiment, including the aviation department, tank training brigade, and the total strength has exceeded 160,000 people. In a few years, with a total force of more than 200,000 people, plus a certain scale of aircraft and tanks, there should be the capital to develop oil fields. Moreover, the war in Europe could not last long, and the situation of Japan's dominance in the Far East was soon changed, and with the containment of the European and American powers, it was not so easy for Japan to do whatever it wanted. Lan Tianwei exhaled, and with a large amount of wealth, he could only hide it, lest he be discovered, and there was indeed enough grievance.

"Well, but it is not enough to count on the great powers, and the iron must be its own. But now it's time to change the name to the Northeast Army. Qin Yu said with a smile, unconsciously the Northeast Army had reached its current scale. In the next few years, the intensity of the army expansion should exceed the original plan, which was made according to the targets of Fengtian, and now there are two more provinces, Heilongjiang and Jilin, and although there are many troops of 160,000, they are based on the three provinces. Raising this army is not too much. Before World War II, the Kwantung Army, which Japan raised through the resources of the Northeast, peaked in the hundreds of thousands.

"By the way, Brother Xuguang, you say hello to Tao Yi and transfer Tao Yi to Heilongjiang to be the governor, and Liu Shangqing to Taonan."

Tian Helin nodded, he transferred Wang Yongjiang to Jilin as the governor before, it was indeed because Wang Yongjiang's ability was still above Tao Yi, in fact, now Wang Yongjiang has done a good job in Jilin, and he has indeed lived up to Qin Yu's hopes. Liu Shangqing and Tao Yi are about the same, and it is a little too much to say that Tao Yi is still in Taonan at this time.

The three northeastern provinces have been in turmoil for a long time, from the First Sino-Japanese War, to the Russo-Japanese War, and then the situation has not been very stable. In the past, Jilin and Heilongjiang were lined with checkpoints, which played a very big role in hindering the circulation of merchants. Heavy taxes. Backward transportation has seriously delayed the development of industries in Northeast China. However, now because the Feng army has occupied Jilin and Heilongjiang one after another. The Northeast has also ushered in unprecedented stability.

Mukden was already in a virtuous circle at this time. Jilin received a large amount of capital injection, and under Wang Yongjiang's governance, the economy began to improve rapidly, and the situation in Heilongjiang was relatively worse, but as in the previous situation in Jilin, there was no need to bear military spending for the time being. After reducing Heilongjiang's taxes a lot, there is still a certain amount of savings in finance.

This time, the readjustment of the Feng army was more vigorous than ever before, and four armies were set up at one time, one each in Heilongjiang and Jilin. At this time, the strength of the Fengtian Realm Office reached eight divisions, as well as bomber formations, tank teaching brigades and other technical arms. Under Qin Yu's seemingly unintentional arrangement, the Kwantung Army stationed in the northeast, except for Luda, the rest scattered everywhere were actually under the full encirclement of the Feng army.

"Bastard, the dog fights the human power, and the surname Duan is arrogant and domineering, but I didn't expect that even his subordinates couldn't look at it. They all thought they were the number one. Looking at the back of Xu Shuzheng's departure, Li Yuanhong had never felt so angry. Duan Qirui has always looked down on himself, and Li Yuanhong knows the truth. But what is Xu Shuzheng, he also relies on Duan Qirui's power to make a score for him. Everything must also have a degree, if the cats and dogs under Duan Qirui's hands can also look at him, will he have to go out to meet people in the future.

"President, is that Xu Shuzheng playing tricks again?" Ha Hanzhang walked in from outside the mansion, and happened to see that Xu Shuzheng's face was also not very good-looking, and he almost didn't have to guess to know that Xu Shuzheng and Li Yuanhong were unhappy again, and they were more fierce than before.

"Hmph, it was okay before, although he didn't take me seriously in private, he still regarded me as a person on the surface, but now it's good, he Xu Shuzheng directly said that I am a stamping machine. At the beginning, I didn't want to be president, they pushed me to this position, and now I feel uncomfortable, so I always show me, he wants to take charge of a country's military and political affairs, and he wants to plug in everything. The more Li Yuanhong spoke, the more angry he became, and the spit was about to splash on Ha Hanzhang's face.

"The president is angry, Duan Xu is now Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it. Don't be angry with this. Ha Hanzhang reassured.

"That's the way it is, but when it comes to the end, where can I bear this bad breath." Li Yuanhong let out a sigh of relief, "If Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng do this, I will simply let go of this old face." ”

"What is the President going to do?" Ha Hanzhang said with some curiosity.

"Nine words, no illegality, no stamping, not afraid of death. Duan Qirui wants to use me as a stamping machine, which is very good, without my presidential seal, he has a lot of documents, and personnel appointments cannot take effect, I want to see if he has the determination to point the gun at my head. Li Yuanhong said horizontally.

Ha Hanzhang wanted to persuade Li Yuanhong not to be so impatient, after all, the president occupies the supreme position in the legal system, and in the eyes of their staff, some things can be slowly figured out, although the Beiyang Governor Army is strong, it is not monolithic. As long as you work hard, there are always loopholes to exploit, even if Duan Qirui is tough, but many personnel appointments must be approved by the president before they can take effect, and there will always be some room for bargaining in the future with this power. The local overseers were also not loyal to Duan Qirui, and they were divided and co-opted. As long as he grasps a part of the military power, it will be more than half of the success for Li Yuanhong.

Ha Hanzhang persuaded Li Yuanhong, but Li Yuanhong felt that Duan Xu was bullying people too much, and he couldn't persuade him for a while.

The contradictions between the presidential office and the State Council are becoming more and more acute, and President Li Yuanhong, after all, has the status of a legal system and is the party that occupies reason in public opinion. Duan Qirui manipulated the Overseer Army to make Beijing's political scene miserable, and even tried in vain to force the Congress to achieve the goal of declaring war on Germany, which made Duan Qirui's reputation not very good recently, and there was a tendency to continue to deteriorate.

After all, Duan Qirui is one of the best figures in the Beiyang Group. A little criticism of public opinion could not pose a substantial threat to it for the time being, but as the "Beijing Daily" published the matter of Nishihara's loan, the "Beijing Daily" revealed the secret news of the Sino-Japanese military armament loan. The Japanese government wanted to lend 10,000 yen to the Republic of China on the condition that it would hire Japanese technicians and managers to assist in the management of the arms industry of the Republic of China, and that it would hire Japanese military attachés to train the war troops of the Republic of China. Chen Youren, who revealed the main writer of the news, was arrested on the same day, which shows that Duan Qirui's authorities want to cover it up. Tang Shaoyi, Cen Chunxuan, and Sun Yat-sen and others immediately stood up and expressed their position, accusing Duan Qirui of disregarding the interests of the nation. The rioters who tried to threaten the Congress with force tried in vain to train the troops participating in the war with loans to Japan. To achieve its goal of unifying the Republic of China by force. Although Duan Qirui still has the support of the Beiyang warlord group, he has suffered an unprecedented crisis of trust among the people.

Li Yuanhong was almost cornered by Duan Qirui, with the negative idea of non-violence and non-cooperation, who knew that Duan Qirui would reveal a fatal flaw by himself. Ha Hanzhang, Jin Yongyan, Zhang Guogan. Jiang Zuobin and other aides were even more excited, if they did not take advantage of the opportunity of their opponents to make mistakes so well to expand the influence of the presidential office, they would not be worthy of being the staff of the presidential office.

"Duan Qirui is not as upright as rumored, his style is completely an old fox who has been in the political arena for many years."

After Li Yuanhong heard that Xu Shichang and Wang Shizhen both refused to reorganize the cabinet and take up the post of army commander. I can't help but feel a little annoyed. The tiger will not fall, besides, Duan Qirui, the tiger of the Beiyang, is still alive, Xu Shichang and Wang Shizhen are both thoughtful characters, naturally it is impossible to offend each other for a little false name, and Duan Qirui, who has strong military power in his hands.

"President, Duan Qirui usually sees the head and the tail, why did he come to the presidential palace yesterday?" Jin Yongyan asked curiously, as Li Yuanhong's staff, of course, he wanted to find out Duan Qirui's intentions today and speculate on his possible next move.

"Yesterday he told me that he had already found Xu Ju Lao and Wang Pingqing, but they refused to come out to reorganize the cabinet, Duan Qirui asked me to find a substitute for him as soon as possible, so that he could be handed over. He made it clear to me that without him Duan Qirui, this cabinet would not be able to get up. I really don't believe in this evil. Li Yuanhong said angrily, his grudge with Duan Qirui started very early, and it can be described as a new hatred and an old hatred. When Li Yuanhong concurrently served as the deputy general manager and the post of overseer of Hubei, Duan was ordered by Yuan to bring Li Yuanhong to Wuhan by kidnapping tickets.

The new feud is that although Duan supported Li to succeed him as president, when Duan went to see Li after Yuan's death, he did not say a word, and his face was as cold as treating a strange political enemy, and Zhang Zhenfang provoked it. Zhang Zhenfang was one of the four ministers who accepted Gu Ming when Yuan was dying, but Duan Qirui looked down on Zhang the most, because Zhang was Yuan's cousin, during the Hongxian Emperor, Zhang worked in the preparation office of the ceremony, and was corrupt and corrupt, so Duan often scolded him as a "yellow belt" and "shopkeeper". Zhang naturally hated Duan to the bone. After Li succeeded to the presidency, Zhang set a wildfire in front of Lai's military think-tank, Ha Hanzhang, and said: "When we discussed the presidential issue in front of Xiangcheng (Yuan)'s spirit, Lao Duan opposed Huang Pi (Li's) succession, and it was Donghai (Xu Shichang) who did his best to bring about it. This sentence made Li believe it very much, so Li hated Duan very much and had a good impression of Xu Shichang.

As for the segments? looked down on Li at all, because in the Qing Dynasty, Duan had been a commander (equal to the status of a division commander), a military commander (equal to the status of a military commander) and a commander, and had acted as the governor of Huguang, but Li was only an assistant commander (equal to the status of a brigade commander) at that time; In the era of Yuan Shikai, Duan was the leading general of the Beiyang system, and although Li was the vice president, in Duan's eyes, he was only a political prisoner after he arrived in Beijing. After Yuan's death, Lai's president was "promoted" by Duan, and if Duan did not support Lai, Li would not have been able to ascend to the presidency at all. On the night of Yuan's death, he told Zhang Guogan, who was sent by Li to inquire about the news, that "my surname Duan's support for Li is just one sentence, and I will not let the surname Li fall through." ”

Because Duan has these concepts, he doesn't put Li in his eyes at all, and Li sees Duan as a thorn in his back. As a result, there is no harmony between Li and Duan.

"Duan Qirui's power is deep-rooted, if he hadn't made such a big mistake, there really would be no way to take him, but this time he committed public anger, even he himself felt that he was pointed out by a thousand people, and he had the intention of asking the president for peace, I think it is better to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to directly remove him from his post and eliminate future troubles forever." Jin Yongyan said.

"Duan Qirui has the intention of seeking peace, how do you say this?" Ha Hanzhang asked.

"Here are some personnel changes in the cabinet, and Duan Qirui asked people to send them to the president to see." Jin Yongyan handed over a new list of personnel appointments and dismissals to Li Yuanhong.

"Basically, it's Anhui people again, right?" Li Yuanhong snorted, but when he took it in his hand and looked at it, he found that the three people at the beginning were from Hubei, and the concept of the township party in this era was extremely important. The few people in the back were not disgusted by Li Yuanhong, seeing this, Li Yuanhong's face softened a little, but soon Li Yuanhong said again, "This is also a signal that Duan Qirui will release a handshake to me when he is at the end of his rope, if it was in normal times, how could he have taken me seriously." If the grass is cut and the roots are not removed, the spring breeze blows and grows again, and I think we should take this opportunity to remove him from the post of prime minister.
