Chapter 360: New Weapons and Reforms

@@@@

On the desk, a kerosene lamp emits a pungent smell ().

Henan has coal but no power plant, and although the army has backup generators, because gasoline is now a strategic resource, even Yang Qiu must try to save as much as possible. Although the Yanchang "No. 1 Oil Well" has been controlled, nearly 10 barrels of crude oil per day is a drop in the bucket compared to the increasing demand for airplanes and vehicles, fortunately, the hired U.S. oil exploration team has identified three other oil wells and is accelerating drilling.

The Hanjiang oil field survey also came with good news, the first oil well has been pumped oil, but the reserves in these two places are too small, and the geology is complex and inconvenient to transport, so the representatives of the American oil company believe that even if it is built, it will only be 500 barrels per day at most, and rejected the possibility of in-depth oil cooperation on the spot. Daqing is too deep technically to do, Shengli Oilfield is easy to attract Japan to covet, the only hope is Yumen Oilfield, which is also an important reason why he can't wait to enter the northwest, if the western section of the Longhai line can be repaired 20 years ago, it can ease the pressure on domestic oil.

Of course, the best oil fields are overseas, but now even if he finds out, he will be swallowed by others, so it is better to continue to bury them in the ground and wait for a good opportunity ().

Yang Qiu under the lamp didn't pay much attention to oil at the moment, after all, domestic oil consumption is basically blank, and there is still time to make up for it little by little, what he is reading now is the Dongying battle report sent by An Guoliang.

A single Japanese brigade damaged nearly half of the elite cavalry regiment, and in the end, more than seventy percent of the Japanese army chose to die in battle, which shows that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness is very tenacious, and even the most elite Wehrmacht brigades may not be able to take advantage of each other. Judging from An Guoliang's report, the reason why the cavalry regiment suffered such a large loss was that it lacked effective heavy firepower after being seized by the infantry, especially the direct fire could not be effectively suppressed by 7.62 mm machine guns alone, so it was recommended that the cavalry regiment be issued with 70 mm infantry guns.

The 70mm infantry gun is light and easy to disintegrate, but after all, there are hundreds of kilograms, which will seriously affect the cavalry's long-distance mobility ability, not to mention that the army units are still waiting to be replaced with a large number of 57 and 75mm field guns, so it was decided to let Liu Qingen copy the M2HB 12.7mm heavy machine gun and 85mm recoilless gun. M2HB has no technical barriers for Hubei, which has been able to make its own Makqin, it is nothing more than the speed of production, and it can be made early in addition to applying for patents and can also be used to supply armored vehicle troops, but the recoilless gun is more troublesome, although it appeared during the First World War, but the ammunition technology really matured in the Soviet Union in the 40s, and it takes a certain amount of time to imitate the drawings with the current domestic technology.

Wu Peifu and Han Yong and the other four stood quietly waiting quietly with blue noses and swollen faces, he had been standing here for almost half an hour, but Yang Qiu didn't even raise the corners of his eyes, neither said to let them leave, nor asked about anything, as if the four big men in front of him who had just been released from the confinement room were air.

This made him and Peng Shouxin very unaccustomed, but when he saw Han Yong and Dai Jintang standing still with their expressions on their faces, it was not easy to move without permission.

After a gentle knock on the door, Chen Guofu and Dai Tianqiu appeared at the door together, and Chen Guofu, who was holding coffee, obviously did not react to the four people standing on the side, and was stunned before putting the coffee on the table.

He is now the secretary general of the Party Affairs Department of the National Socialist Party, helping Yang Qiu to deal with party affairs, although many people say that he is too young, but Yang Qiu insists on using him, firstly, because the party is still a new thing in China at this time, and it needs to have the courage to expand young people, and secondly, the National Socialist Party advocates democratic reform on the basis of national socialism, advocates the concept of a large state, focuses on improving the status of the workers and peasants, and is committed to national education and national welfare, and combats radical ideas such as conservatives and abolition, so it also needs young people who dare to stand up and speak out ().

Chen Guofu has also done a very good job, and the number of young people who have joined the National Society has exploded over the past year, with more than 2.5 million party members aged 18 to 30 registered alone, most of whom are students, soldiers, and the working class.

Of course, the rapid development of the National Society is also inseparable from the pen of Dai Tianqiu, who is now one of the most important mouthpieces of the National Society, and his influence has been comparable to that of Huang Yuansheng, a non-party person who is known for his spicy pen.

The bitter taste of black coffee made Dai Tianqiu avoid two steps. It's funny, he saw Yang Qiu love coffee before, and he asked someone to buy some from the United States, but he didn't know how to mix it, so he just ground it and drank it with water, and the consequence was of course that his tongue was numb and he couldn't taste other flavors for a few days, so he was particularly afraid of this taste.

Yang Qiu smiled at him, turned his head to look at Chen Guofu, and found that he had lost a lot of weight recently, knowing his thoughts, and asked, "Is Brother Yingshi okay?" ”

Chen Qimei was revealed that when he knew that someone had assassinated Song Jiaoren, he deliberately did not inform him and sent someone to prepare to kill him, and his reputation was immediately discredited, and even the Kuomintang shouted and shouted at him, believing that it was he who led to the final split and loneliness of the Kuomintang Party, so he re-opened the case of the assassination of Tao Chengzhang, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison in Shanghai last month. This incident had a great impact on Chen Guofu, and many people felt that he should not be serving as the party secretary, but fortunately, Yang Qiu didn't care about this matter, not only continued to stay this time, but also sent him to Henan to partner with Murong Han, preparing to take the opportunity of erecting a reform envoy in Henan to further consolidate the status of the national society.

"The second uncle is okay, but he is depressed a lot." Thinking of Chen Qimei's care for him in the past, Chen Guofu's eyes were still a little red when he spoke.

Yang Qiu got up and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted: "Uncle is uncle, work is work, there are many things in the United States where fathers and sons are divided into different parties, as for Brother Ince, what I can do is to take care of him and make him suffer less, I hope he can take this opportunity to reflect ()." ”

Chen Guofu served as Yang Qiu's secretary for a while, and he knew his temper well, and it was already a breakthrough to be able to take care of Shanghai Prison and prevent Chen Qimei from suffering inside, so he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, chairman, I will persuade my uncle to reflect with peace of mind and strive to reduce his sentence and go home as soon as possible." ”

Yang Qiu nodded, walked to the four people with blue noses and swollen faces with coffee, and suddenly beckoned to Dai Tianqiu: "Tianqiu, did you bring the camera?" Let's take a picture of our big hero. ”

Dai Tianqiu covered his mouth and laughed on the spot, even Chen Guofu, who was in a bad mood, was happy, if the four of them looked like this, they didn't know how many young people who wanted to join the national defense force would be hit, Han Yong and Dai Jintang were okay, but Wu Peifu finally couldn't help it, standing here stupidly for half an hour without saying anything, and now he actually let him take the most embarrassing photo of himself, and said with a hint of anger: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated!" Why bother with Péfu in chief. ”

"Well, I still have some temper." Yang Qiu deliberately didn't look at him, and twisted towards Peng Shouxin: "Peng Er, the famous big mouth in the three towns of Beiyang, brave in battle and good to his subordinates, Cao Kun has been so angry with you that he can't speak, why did he come to me without a word?" ”

Peng Shouxin opened his mouth, the blue mark on his cheeks had not yet dispersed, and said: "Old Peng, I don't have any other skills, I just think that the commander-in-chief should not be prejudiced against Ziyu, I know his ability, absolutely above that Chen Er'an and Jin Yunpeng, we did not consider it when we retreated from Tongguan, but Ziyu was always right to see through the battle situation, right?" ”

Yang Qiu didn't answer, but turned to Wu Peifu's eyes staring at him and suddenly raised his voice: "Do you know about the three slaps I gave Li Liejun?" ”

The two didn't expect him to suddenly mention this matter, and when they saw those unkind eyes, they unconsciously swallowed their saliva. The matter of beating Li Liejun with three slaps has long spread all over the country, and even foreigners' newspapers have reprinted the news, and the three slaps combined with three reasons really woke up many people who are still quiet in the revolution, so not only did no one say that he was rude, but it attracted a burst of applause.

Wu Peifu didn't want to be slapped three times, but before he nodded, Yang Qiu became furious, pointed his nose and scolded: "It is indeed a good chess to seize Tongguan, but no matter how good the chess is, it must obey the arrangement of the chessboard, and the whimsical idea of jumping out of the chessboard without permission is not something that the army needs ()!" What the army wants is discipline and obedience! Changing military orders without authorization and putting them here is enough to shoot you seven or eight times! Want to be a celebrity? All right! From tomorrow, I will go to the training camp to train with the soldiers for three months, if I still don't understand what a soldier is and what obedience is, just like Li Liejun, I will go to the border to be a squad leader for the rest of my life! ”

Yang Qiuyi threw the order to transfer to the Hanyang recruit training camp on the table into his arms, looking at the big seal of the Ministry of Defense and the commander-in-chief on it, Wu Peifu smiled bitterly in his heart, this time he really kicked the iron plate, but it is more attractive than going home to retire or the new barracks, at least let himself see the difference between the national defense force and the old Beiyang from the bottom.

After scolding the four of them away, Yang Qiu smiled, picked up the Henan land reform pilot plan he wrote from the table and handed it to Chen Guofu: "You two will go to Zhengzhou immediately, Murong Han will definitely need help, and this is also a good opportunity to expand the status of the national society in the hearts of the people, you two must take advantage of it." Tell him again on my behalf, be ruthless when you should be ruthless, put down when you should put down, do it boldly, and I will support him in Nanjing. ”

Chen Guofu and Dai Tianqiu took the documents, did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately got on the train and rushed to Zhengzhou, at this time, Murong Han, who had just taken over as the governor of Henan Province, was also sharpening his knives against a large list of local tyrants, because Yang Qiu was determined to use Henan and Shaanxi as a pilot for the implementation of reforms, so he has been studying where to start in the past two days.

Although Murong Han was young, Yang Du, who was specially sent to assist him in reform, did not dare to despise him, how could it be simple for someone who dared to be placed in the high position of governor by Yang Qiu at a young age, so when he saw that he had been choosing where to start, he smiled slightly and picked one out of the list of people.

"Qi Yaolin?"

"Yuan Shikai's henchman, the former head of the Beiyang Henan Marching Army, used his power to embezzle millions of dollars, and also colluded with local tyrants to embezzle tens of thousands of acres of good paddy fields." The corners of Yang Du's mouth hooked, and his smile was a little cunning: "This is a big fat sheep." ”

Murong Han knew what Yang Qiu meant by sending him to Henan, and the repetition of the troubled times was indispensable, so he simply slapped the table: "It's him." ”
