Chapter 8 Working together

Jiang Baili immediately understood what Commander Yang meant. In the past, others said that Commander Yang was very fierce, but after coming into contact with him in Beijing in the past few days, he felt that Yang Xiaolin was quite easy-going. However, Commander Yang's combat intention completely changed Jiang Baili's initial impression of him.

Allowing the Russians to safely transport supplies to China is definitely not conducive to the current stage of the fighting. What is the situation in China now? When the arsenal was not built, the Russians were well stocked, which would cause great difficulties in the battle.

But Yang was clearly not fighting to defend Beijing and repel the Russian invasion, and his goal was much crazier than he thought. If a strategy is formulated with such an operational objective, it will be extremely beneficial for the later battle to let the Russians transport a large amount of supplies to China for consumption in the early stage.

At the same time, Yang is also opportunistic, once this transportation line is perfected, when China launches a counterattack, there is no need to rebuild it itself.

It's very risky!

You're all for the later stage, but can you withstand the early stage? If you are not careful, the whole of China will fall into unimaginable pain. Only those who are ruthless and don't care about their lives can make such a decision. Even if he is allowed to hold Beijing, with Lao Maozi having enough ammunition, the battle will inevitably be hard.

Jiang Baili seems to have seen the scene of blood flowing like a river under the city of Beijing.

In Beijing, Yuan Shikai, Sun Wen and Chen Tianhua are negotiating the formation of the government, which is troublesome, and it is estimated that they will not be able to discuss it well in half a year. However, militarily it was impossible to wait for half a year, and as soon as Commander Yang's military meeting was completed, the troops were put into combat preparations.

The First Operational Army, which had been incorporated into the battle sequence, began to dig trenches and build fortifications around the city of Beijing, and this time the fortifications increased the depth of defense on the basis of the previous construction of the Beiyang Army, and at the same time tunnels began to be excavated, and individual bunkers were valued.

Commander Yang also adopted the advice of some Beiyang Army generals to build strong permanent fortresses in some particularly important locations. Now the trenches are completely dug by the soldiers themselves. The villagers also came to help, but they were just helping to fight and carry the soil.

The soldiers who had been programmed into the sequence were immediately equipped with a unified equipment, and the women of Beijing now had something to do, sewing a large number of carrying equipment according to the model provided to them by the government. The blacksmiths were also starting to get busy, and Commander Yang asked the Beiyang soldiers to have a sapper shovel in their hands, and at the same time, the broadsword was included in the equipment plan as an official equipment......

Not every soldier is equipped, and those stormtroopers who have fought a few times are indeed very welcoming to this ancient combat weapon. In the past, the volunteers fought in a small group of five people. With bayonets and pistols, the situation is dangerous once you are alone.

But the broadsword with the pistol is different, one in one hand, the pistol crackles and can hit for a while, once the enemy surrounds the broadsword, the steering of the broadsword is flexible, and the attack surface is much larger than the bayonet, and it can resist for a longer time.

All the Chinese units that had not yet been incorporated into the combat sequence were transferred to Shandong for training. Yang Xiaolin didn't think about training the soldiers to be elite, but this was a combat mode.

The soldiers first underwent the most basic tactical training in Shandong, and then brought to Beijing to fight the Russians. After the experience, they returned and transferred new troops from Shandong. Those soldiers who have retired from the battlefield will be trained for a period of time, and when they go back to the battlefield, they should be qualified soldiers.

At the same time as the war with Lao Maozi. Letting the Russians temper the Chinese troops with artillery fire is a cruel method, but it is indeed the best way to make the troops grow quickly.

There is another reason, when it comes out, Commander Yang himself feels that he is a little too villainous. He is now commander-in-chief. has the command of the troops of the whole country, although Lao Yuan put Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang in the army to watch the Beiyang Army, but in the process of continuous fighting and integration. Commander Yang can easily make the three words of the Beiyang Army disappear in the long river of history.

Wait until the victory of the war against Russia, Chen Tianhua's performance in the government department is a little better, and whether Yuan Shikai, who has no Beiyang Army, can continue to sit in the position of president depends on whether Commander Yang is in a good mood.

He was really much more detailed than Sun Wen's plan, and he didn't move now, but Commander Yang didn't want to conflict with Yuan Shikai at this time. Again, before the war situation was not clear, Commander Yang supported Lao Yuan and unconditionally supported it.

Maybe Lao Yuan won't sit still, maybe he also has some means waiting to deal with him. It doesn't matter, as long as Yuan Shikai is as willing as he is to fight when he can, at least there will be not much harm to China.

Naokami Matsubara is leaving Beijing.

This time, Matsubara-kun came to China to live up to his mission, and the bottom line given to him by the Japanese side was not at all the conditions he said, just like Yang Du's analysis, even if China gave Dalian to the Japanese, little Japan would not dare to ask for it. Lao Yuan just nodded and said that in the future, Japanese businessmen could enjoy privileges when they entered China to do business, and they did not dare to sign treaties in a grand manner.

After two days of talks, the two sides finally reached a tacit agreement. The Japanese side will secretly relax the cargo ships bound for China, and the machines that have been seized by them will be immediately handed over to the Germans for shipment to China.

At the same time, both sides tried their best to avoid hating each other in their domestic propaganda, and the Chinese side was not allowed to suppress Japanese businessmen who came to China, and Yang Xiaolin's special policy toward Japanese businessmen in Northeast China was immediately lifted.

Neither side has expressed a lack of attitude toward the current war situation, which is strange to say: China and Japan have never declared war on each other, but the two sides are fighting in full swing. No truce has been declared, but it is separated from the well of the Yalu River.

Matsubara-kun is leaving, and as a brother, Commander Yang will give him a ride no matter how busy he is.

Commander Yang didn't lead a guard, nor did he wear a military uniform, and walking with Matsubara-kun, who was also dressed in a long robe, was really like saying goodbye to a friend.

"Matsubara-kun, this time you go back to Japan, I don't know when we will meet again. If I'm not mistaken, we've known each other for six or seven years, right? ”

Naokami Matsubara nodded: "It's been seven years." Kobayashi-kun, your shipment is on the way now, I know it's very important to you, if there's anything you can do to help in the future, just ask. ”

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "That's nature!" And after you told me that day, I think there's one thing that's absolutely true, that we should work together to get those white people out of Asia. ”

Naokami Songyuan turned his head to look at Yang Xiaolin, and smiled without squeaking.

Yang Xiaolin said impassionedly: "Songyuan-kun, let's see if we can cooperate appropriately in some places?" ”

Naogami Matsubara asked, "Where does Kobayashi-kun want to cooperate with us?" ”

Yang Xiaolin thought about it: "Resources. We have a lot of resources in China that are not currently developed, and our own technology is not up to par, and it is always unreliable to count on the Germans, and Matsubara-kun also knows that I have never trusted their white people. ”

Naokami Matsubara was stunned for a moment, getting China's resources is something that the Japanese want to do, and Yang Xiaolin has never made concessions in this regard, so this time Little Japan didn't mention it. He suddenly relented now, and went straight to Songyuan and didn't feel any surprises, there must be demons abnormally, especially for this guy Yang Dagui.

Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Songyuan-kun, this is my true words." You also know what kind of battle we are facing in China. In this battle we must have plenty of steel, coal! But our technology is relatively backward, and the British can't find anyone to help as soon as they blockade it, how about it? A hand for my brother? ”

"It's good for you, too, don't you Japanese want to go to the South Seas? If Chinese resources can be obtained in this way, I believe that the Imperial Japanese Army will definitely be able to drive the whites out of Asia! Matsubara-kun, this is the situation where we can work together. ”

Shogami Matsubara's footsteps stopped, and the fingers behind his back twitched. If Yuan Shikai told him about this condition, he would agree to it immediately! What Yang Dagui said, you really have to think about it. During the Russo-Japanese War, Yang Xiaolin deceived himself on the ship several times under the guise of helping the Japanese, but the ship was leaky!

The few bullets this guy hit on his body still have scars, and Matsubara-kun really has never forgotten it. So be careful to step out and don't fall down again.

Zhishang Songyuan slowly turned his head, stared at Yang Xiaolin for a long time, and then asked the words that were already very mentally retarded in diplomatic situations: "You, didn't lie to me?" ”

Yang Xiaolin shook his head: "Half a lie, the sky thunders!" In this way, we will not sign a written agreement, I know the attitude of the British side, and it is estimated that Matsubara-kun will not dare to sign an agreement even if he comes over. Aren't there a lot of people in your Japanese Black Dragon Society in China? You ask them to come to me, and I'll arrange it. ”

Naokami Matsubara smiled, Yang Xiaolin didn't believe it even if he swore poisonously again!

However, regardless of what Yang has in mind, Naogami Matsubara thinks Japan can try this model. Japan really needs resources, isn't that what they're doing in the Northeast?

Let the Black Dragon Society come forward means that the two sides are carrying out unofficial cooperation, even if there is any accident, the Japanese official can be cleaned up, and if the British reaction is too great, it can grab a few scapegoats from the Black Dragon Society.

"Okay, I'll report Kobayashi-kun's thoughts to our government when I go back, I hope this time, Kobayashi-kun can be honest and don't hurt his brother again."

Yang Xiaolin pouted: "What Songyuan said is too much!" Will I hurt you if we have a relationship? You think about it, and I'm here to wait. ”

By this time, he had already sent Naogami Matsubara to the station, and Matsubara-kun would take the train to Tianjin, board the ship there, and return to Japan, just like ordinary Japanese merchants. Trains have also stopped on the platforms, and Beijing's stations are not as busy as they used to be due to the war.

Straight up to Matsubara looked around, and then bowed to Yang Xiaolin: "Kobayashi-kun, please go back, if you are really sincere in what we are discussing, I believe that both of us will be very satisfied, and working together will be beneficial to China and Japan." ”

Yang Xiaolin snorted: "Take care." (To be continued......)
