Chapter 674: Middle East Trip (2)
Yan Shao was going to come and had already told Yang Shande and Wang Mingke, so the two of them were not surprised. But no matter what, what Yan Shao was about to do still made everyone feel a little excited.
"Is it finally coming..."Pursing his lips, Yang Shande said with some excitement.
The last time Yang Shande saw Yan Shao, it was before he led the expeditionary force to Iraq, and at that time, he was only the commander of the First Army, and only later became the commander of the Baghdad Military Region for many reasons.
In this regard, Yang Shande is naturally grateful, and the reason is very simple, because he is not from the Anhui family or other departments, but the original Beiyang department.
The commander of the Fourth Division of the Beiyang Army, Yang Shande...
As an old man in the former Beiyang Six Towns, after defecting to the Guoshe Government, Yang Shande originally thought that he would be like Feng Guozhang, who looked like a glamorous position, but in fact had no rights to live in a position.
However, what he didn't expect was that in the end, Yan Shao not only did not do this, but promoted him to one of the more than 30 main division commanders that year. You must know that the commanders of the more than 30 main divisions can now be called the people of the hour, even if they are the most secondary, they have now become the commander of the first army, and the highest is like Yang Shande, who has become the commander of a corps and the commander of a military regionββββββ, and among the more than 30 infantry divisions of that year, many of them are former warlords, so they can at most rely on their qualifications to get to the position of army commander, but nothing else can be thought about...
It is because of its experience of being born in the North Ocean. That's why Yang Shande didn't expect that he would be able to be put to good use, especially after arriving in Mesopotamia and winning many victories in the war against the Turks and Germans (on the Turkish battlefield at that time. There were quite a few German troops active, albeit at the regimental level, and they were promoted directly to the rank of corps commander or even corps commander, and after the armistice, he was also appointed commander of the Baghdad Military District.
And it is precisely because of Yan Shao's reuse that Yang Shande can be said to be grateful to Yan Shao. Maybe sometimes he will miss the time when he was in Beiyang and under Yuan Shikai in the past, but there is nothing else. At least there is no one left to shake him in the name of Beiyang ...
Today's Beiyang is no longer there...
This is also one of the reasons why Yan Shao began to use the Beiyang system with confidence, no matter what. The Beiyang Department still has many talents. And today's China, the most lacking thing is talent...
So as long as it is a talent, Yan Shao will use itββββββ at least the other party has no second thoughts.
Today's Beiyang system is just a small group that is tightly united because of a series of past experiences and even connections. There is no ability to threaten Yan Shao at all. In this way, Yan Shao is naturally relieved to can...
It should be noted that Wang Mingke was already Yang Shande's chief of staff when he was in Beiyang Fourth Town, which is also one of the reasons why the two are old partners. And Yan Shao's reassuring use is also the point that Yang Shande is most grateful for, after all, in all dynasties, even if some people will reuse some generals, they will usually press some people around them. for surveillance.
But Yan Shao didn't do this, but sent his old partner too...
It's not surprising, though. In today's domestic shape, even if Yuan Shikai comes out of the mountain again, it is difficult to withstand any wind and waves, let alone a mere Yang Shande.
And since he wants to use him, Yan Shao must investigate clearly, according to Yan Shao's investigation, Yang Shande now has little communication except for going to Yuan Shikai's home to visit or sending someone to send something during the New Year's holidays.
Yan Shao's taboo is that the people below form a party for personal gainββββββ although this kind of thing can't be stopped at all, but even if it is a party, as long as the party is not against him Yan Shao himself.
If there is no threat, Yan Shao would even be happy to see such parties save zΓ i, and show his magnanimity in this way.
But...
If you have the ability to threaten yourself, then...
Fortunately, it is difficult to have any core existence in the Beiyang system now, such as Duan Qirui or Xu Shichang, who have basically integrated into Yan Shao's National Socialist Party, but there is only a small group, which Yan Shao can still tolerate.
And it is even more common to go to see your old employer during the New Year's holidays, after all, there has been a master-slave relationship for so many years. If for various reasons, some of the past favors are abandoned, although Yan Shao can understand it, but it is difficult not to look down on this kind of person...
After all, they are human beings, and they will like loyal subordinates.
Just like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms, no matter how suspicious this person is, no matter how much he likes his wife, he will also like his loyal subordinates. This is also why although he was very happy after taking Jingzhou, he also looked down on those original people in Jingzhou. After all, since those people can turn their backs on Liu Biao, and even Liu Biao's son later, they can naturally turn their backs on him Cao Cao in the future, as long as he loses power...
After Cao Cao received Jing Han, although Wen Ping was the last to see Cao Cao, Cao Cao was very happy.
When he met Wenpin, Cao Cao once asked Wenpin why he came so late, and Wenpin's answer was very simple. "Before, I couldn't assist Liu Jingzhou (Liu Biao) to serve the country together, but now Jingzhou has been lost, but I often hope to be able to defend Hanchuan and protect the territory, so that I can live up to the loneliness and weakness (referring to Liu Cong, etc.), and die worthy of the underground, but now what I envisage cannot be realized, and it has reached this point. Hire's heart was really sad and ashamed, and he didn't have a face to come in early to see Ming Gong. β
As long as it is a person, it will like loyal subordinates, and after seeing Wen Ping's cousin, Cao Cao quickly entertained Wen Ping with a generous courtesy. He also granted Wen Ping with the army, and ordered him and Cao Chun to go to Changban Slope to pursue Liu Beiββββββ although it is often said that Wen Ping's loyalty is actually specially shown to Cao Cao.
The same is true today, if it is because of oneself. Yang Shande, the old man of the Beiyang family, even Yuan Shikai and even his descendants don't take care of it, Yan Shao can understand it. But in his heart. There will always be some people who look down on each other...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
"By the way, where are they now, Captain Zhang?"
Excited for a while, as if remembering something, Yang Shande suddenly asked.
"It should still be outside..."It seemed that he had thought of something, Wang Mingke hurriedly replied.
"Hurry up and send them a telegram, let them come back quickly...", pacing back and forth in the office, Yang Shande said sternly. This time the president will come to the Middle East. In addition to inspecting the situation of the expeditionary force, I am afraid that it is necessary to ask how the exploration work is progressing, if the head of the regiment is not there at this time. President, he's going to be upset..."
"Hmm..." Wang Mingke nodded, indicating understanding. I'll call someone a telegram. β
As commanders of the Baghdad Military District, the two are naturally well aware of the importance of the Middle East. Therefore, when everyone else was a little puzzled, why Yan Shao had to build a large number of fortifications here. The two of them did not complain in the slightest. It's about doing the best things you can...
Now that the Commune government is in the Middle East, it is not easy to say that it is impregnable, but if the enemy wants to capture it, it will definitely not be a simple matter...
And while Yang Shande and Wang Mingke were still nervously busy, Yan Shao was also nervously busy...
On the deck of the cruise ship, Elanon, Caterina and others are wearing long dresses, sitting there enjoying the sun and looking at the scenery along the coast.
Although Elano and Caterina were more or less born in the Mediterranean. But the surroundings were still very new to them, so even when they came, a few of them had already seen it once. They are still trying to enjoy the scenery around them as much as possible.
For the younger Fumiko, the surrounding scenery is clearly more attractive.
At this moment, she was holding a camera that Yan Shao had given her not long ago, and she was taking pictures of the surroundings.
By the way, this camera is also a product of the Yushi Group. From a certain point of view, this is also to make up for some regrets of Yan Shao in later generations.
In Yan Shao's time, there were naturally domestic cameras, but the camera market at that time was almost completely occupied by Nissan's cameras. Especially in the more advanced SLR market, almost all of them are Japanese Canon, Nikon or Pentax...
Not to mention the camera, even the lens...
Well, there are still domestic lenses, but they are all manual focusing, that is, you can only use your own hands to turn the focus ring when focusing, and there is no lens that can autofocus at all. That is, before Yan Shao crossed, the first domestic autofocus lens was born, and it was only born, and no one knows what the actual situation is.
In later generations, the popularity of mobile phones has been very high, but even this cannot replace the position of cameras. Because the camera is not just a pixel link, the camera also has a large market, and Yan Shao will obviously not give up such a market...
On the other hand, although the camera has been in hand for a few months, it is still a new toy that Fumiko never gets tired of playing. Glancing at Eleno and Caterina who were still sitting there next to her, enjoying the scenery while not knowing what they were discussing, Fumiko's eyes rolled, and then she ran in the direction of the cabin with the camera while everyone was not paying attention...
I don't know how long she ran, but Fumiko came to the cabin where Yan Shao, her mother, and several aunts lived. However, as soon as I ran here, I heard a faint noise from the cabin...
It was the gasps and moans of people, and the sound of beds rattling under the fierce collision...
Now Fumiko is 14 years old, and she is no longer the ignorant girl she used to be, not to mention that she had encountered similar things when she was a child, so she naturally understands what this voice represents...
In the same way, she could hear the moan, which was actually from her own mother's mouth...
It's just that...
Although her face flushed slightly, Fumiko did not turn away, and her smart little eyes flashed with excitement.
With an excited gaze, Fumiko put her hand on the door, and then gently turned it open...
ββ¦β¦β¦ Ahh
Lying on Kaoru Otsuki's body, accompanied by bursts of moaning. Yan Shao's movements also became more and more violent.
At this moment, on the white and flawless skin of Otsuki Kaoru's white jade, there were already fine beads of sweat. and the finger marks left by Yan Shao, especially on the twin peaks where Otsuki Kaoru is not particularly plump, and it is densely covered with the imprint of this Dao...
And under Yan Shao's actions, the white jade-like skin is now also covered with red tides. Otsuki Kaoru closed her eyes even more, and hugged Yan Shao tightly with her arms, enjoying the impact of Yan Shao there.
Yan Shao's wheezing and Otsuki Kaoru's moaning. At this moment, it became the main theme of the room.
I don't know how long it was, but it was accompanied by a long, almost tempting moan of hell. The room was finally calm again, and all it was was the low wheezing of the two of them...
"Okay, don't be angry...", Kaoru Otsuki in his arms, gently kneading on the beautiful woman's crisp breasts. Yan Shao said helplessly.
"I'm not angry...", perhaps a fierce battle. Otsuki Kaoru's expression and tone seemed much more lazy, lying in Yan Shao's arms, and after twisting his body, Otsuki Kaoru shook his head gently. "I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart..."
"I'm just worried about this, your body is already very weak, and now is the time when the flu is rampant, what if there is an accident..."
Speaking of this, Yan Shao also sighed a little. Of his four wives, Kaoru Otsuki's body is the weakest one. Usually, if she encounters some kind of illness or something, she is also the most likely to suffer from it.
If it was in the past, it would be fine, but now is the most violent period of the Spanish flu, Yan Shao was already very worried about her body, and now her mood is depressed, which naturally makes Yan Shao even more worried.
At the same time, listening to Yan Shao's worried tone, although he was somewhat moved in his heart, Otsuki Kaoru still turned away.
"But my heart is uncomfortable, and I finally ushered in peace, but now I am ......... I'm a Japanese after all..."Speaking of this, it seemed that he felt a little aggrieved, and the corners of Otsuki Kaoru's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of tears.
If it wasn't anything at first, then as the conflict between China and Japan became more and more intense, Kaoru Otsuki's identity became more and more embarrassing. As she said, she is Japanese after all.
Usually it may be nothing, but at such a critical moment, her identity becomes more and more embarrassing.
Especially recently, when attending public occasions, there have even been reporters who hope that she can express some views on the issue of the Sino-Japanese conflictββββββ the question is what opinion can she express on this matter?
Not only that, but there are already many Japanese in Japan who call her a national thief because of her relationship with Yan Shao. Even in China, others may not have said anything on Yan Shao's face, but the gaze of Otsuki Kaoru looks a little weird.
After all, she is just an ordinary woman, a woman who hopes to hide behind her husband's solidity, and when she suddenly encounters such things, she will naturally feel very sad in her heart.
And...
As she said, she is a Japanese after all, and now the conflict between China and Japan is becoming more and more serious, not only is her position awkward, but even her heart is contradictory.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Looking at the weeping appearance of Otsuki Kaoru, Yan Shao hurriedly comforted him on the side, while lamenting bitterly that he was a hero with short breath, a long love for children, and he could be ruthless to others, but he had nothing to do with his own family. But there is no way, who called Yan Shao is not a character like a hero. For him, his family is very important, and it is almost impossible for him to give up his family or hurt his own family...
Of course, if Yan Shao is really the kind of person who does whatever it takes, I'm afraid he won't be able to win the favor of Eleno and Caterina and others...
In fact, after learning about the events of that day, Yan Shao was also very annoyed, after all, asking Kaoru Otsuki's opinion on this kind of thing was originally a difficult thing for a strong man.
Similarly, Yan Shao never asks which side she will be on if he clashes with Japanββββββ Yan Shao believes that she will definitely be on her side, at least not betray or hurt herself, and that is enough.
Some things don't necessarily need to be spoken, even if they force the other party to say it, it is only a harm to each other...
This kind of question is as boring as asking the old lady and her lover who to save if they fall into the water, and besides, even if people say that they will definitely help you, can you be completely relieved...
"Don't worry..."His hands roamed over Da Yue Xun's smooth and jade-like body, and Yan Shao persuaded him on the side. Conflicts are only temporary, and you are not unaware that Japan is also an extremely important part of my strategy, and even if there are some conflicts now, there will be peace in the future..."
Although she was a little disappointed, under Yan Shao's caresses, Kaoru Otsuki still became a little sensitive.
Soon, with the help of Yan Shao's arms, Otsuki Kaoru straddled Yan Shao's body again. After a while, the room resounded with seductive moans.
It's just that Yan Shao and Otsuki Kaoru, who were immersed in sensuality, obviously didn't notice that just outside the door of the room, there were a pair of big shining eyes watching every move in the room, including the qiΔ that Yan Shao and Otsuki Kaoru did...
After watching it for a while, Fumiko quietly closed the door with a blushing face, and leaned her back against the closed door, gasping for breath.
If there was nothing when I was young, then the scene just now was a little too exciting for Fumiko, who has grown up... (To be continued......)
