Chapter 239: Drifting
In the original military academy, which is now the Anhui Army Military Academy, a group of students are playing on the newly built basketball court to relaxββββββ and now the new school site has not been built, so the students can only study at the original school site for the time being, and the basketball court in the school was built not long after the establishment of the military government, Yan Shao funded the construction...
There is no need to think about the football field, not to mention anything else for the time being, the problem of a single venue is not easy to solve, after all, the original martial arts school is so big, it really can't accommodate a football field.
In fact, not to mention the football field, even the basketball court was finally squeezed out of the original space, and then two basketball courts were built. It's just that there are more than 2,300 people in the school now, and although the two basketball courts are not small, they are definitely not too much, at least for the students in the school.
However, if we want to change the current situation, I am afraid that it will not be possible in the short term, and only when new school campuses are established can we change the existing overcrowded situation.
However, according to the current progress, if you want the new campus to be completed, you will have to wait at least more than a month. And for more than a month, students can only barely study in the current school.
Fortunately, life in a military school is already boring, and there are strict rules for daily routines, so students will not complain.
Today was the day of the first grade class 3 and class 5 competition, so the basketball court was full of students from these two and several other classes who came to watch, and many students were still cheering and cheering.
Inside the grounds. A student took two steps forward with the ball, and after shaking a tall student in front of him, he gently threw the basketball in his hand into the basket.
See this scene. The students who were cheering and cheering on both sides suddenly cheered loudly, naturally, some people cheered and some people were unhappy, and soon some people cheered for their classmatesββββββ there were teachers next to them, but few people dared to cheer or something...
Losing two points is naturally to be recovered, and soon the fifth class that got the request launched an attack, after a fierce fight. Successfully regained these two points from the hands of Class 3. And the third class did not show weakness and regained the advantage with a three-pointer.
Soon, the atmosphere on the pitch entered the white-hot stage. On the periphery of the court, a few students were watching the game while discussing other things...
"Those foreign devils are quite capable, and they have taught a lot of very practical things..."Sitting on the seat on the periphery of the court, one was tall and thin. The young man with a flat head said to his companion.
in his hands. There is also a note taken during the class.
"Yes," several people on the side nodded when they heard their companion's words. It's really quite capable, at least in my opinion, it's a lot better than the original teachers in the school, especially in some details..."One of them touched his chin at this point. "How to put it, I feel that a few teachers in our school who have returned from studying in France seem to be more experienced in skirmishes, but in terms of commanding larger battles, or how to deal with troop affairs, etc., they are obviously more experienced than those foreigners. And our teachers are like reading from a book with a book..."
"I feel that way too..."
"Me too..."
Hearing the words of his companion, many people immediately echoed.
At this time, from Valery they came to Anqing. It's been a while now. After arriving in Anqing, Valery and his family only had three days to familiarize themselves with the new environment before joining the work.
Naturally, there are several problems that need to be solved in order to get them to work, one of which is the language problem. Valery obviously doesn't know Chinese, and although they are studying hard now, it is undoubtedly a whimsical thing to learn Chinese in a short time.
Although some of the students in the school know a little bit of French (because there are several teachers in the school who know French), at least 99.99% of the students do not understand it, and even if they do, they know English, German or Japanese, and it is basically impossible for them to communicate with each other.
However, these Yan Shao had already thought of a solution, so before Valery and they arrived in Anqing, Yan Shao had already arranged some translators to follow Valery and themββββββ from a certain point of view, in fact, it was also a bit of a surveillance, not to worry that they were spies. Although the French are strong, they do not have much power in Northeast Asia, so there is no need to send some spies to spy on a Chinese warlord.
As for the secrets of the most critical car companies, they have actually been almost exposed now, and there is no need to worry about others stealing them. What's more, a group of military officers who came to Anhui to work as teachers have nothing to do with the affairs of the automobile company, no matter how you look at it.
On the contrary, if it is the British or the Japanese, or even the Germans, Yan Shao should be careful, even the Americans, after all, these countries have certain interests in China, and it is necessary to be careful...
Yan Shaohui sent a translator to follow them, on the one hand, to solve the communication problems of daily life, and on the other hand, he was afraid that something would happen to them. If someone follows on the side, even if something happens, it can be dealt with and solved in time, although these people were invited by Yan Shao, but Yan Shao doesn't have much trust in them.
In any case, with an interpreter by your side, at least communication is not a matter of worry.
And after studying with Valery for a while, the students in the school are also keenly aware of the increase in the gap between the teachers in the school and these French...
Compared with these French, the teachers in the school have their own unique views on ordinary military units, such as the squad, platoon, company, and battalion level, but if they are higher, they can only teach according to what is written in the textbook.
Of the more than a dozen officers recommended by Bertrand this time, the lowest one was also a lieutenant colonel and battalion commander in the past. Most of them were regimental officers, and the highest of them was even a brigadier general, deputy division commander, who had served in the army for many years. I have a deep understanding of the operation of military units at the division and regiment level, and I am all from a professional class, so I naturally benefit the following students a lot from teaching...
And because Yan Shao said that if you teach well, you will be rewarded, so these French people are also very serious in teaching, and they have no intention of hiding their secretsββββββ in fact, there is no need to hide this thing, at least in their opinion...
After a while. The students also have a little more respect for these foreign teachers.
While they were talking to each other, the team that had just thrown the basketball into the basket threw another ball, and the court burst into cheers. And attracted by the cheers. Everyone also turned their attention away.
"Which class do you think will win today's game?"
"The third class, the center of their class is very powerful..."
"I think it's supposed to be Class 5, look at that size..."
They were arguing here about which class would win, and they didn't know what to say, and the French teachers they had just praised were preparing to teach their lessons. The preparation process was very careful. It's guaranteed to make them feel unforgettable.
No way, who told these French people to be thinking about the reward that Yan Shao promised them?
One car per person, such a large amount of money is rare even in Europe, and in order to reward it, these French people naturally have to work hard.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
While the students were still playing on the school court, Yan Shao was lying in bed and falling asleep...
Exactly, well, how to put it. If three o'clock in the afternoon is also considered a nap, then now Yan Shao is indeed taking a nap.
In the Hereafter. Yan Shao has the habit of taking a nap every day, no matter how long he sleeps, even if it is only ten minutes, he has to find a place to lie down for a while. And after arriving in this world, because there are many more things to be busy, the nap time has also changed from the original fixed 12 o'clock to a little erratic, but in general, unless something urgent happens, he will not change the habit of napping...
On the soft bed, Yan Shao slept very sweetly.
Seriously speaking, Yan Shao's residence should be a manor under construction, not a governor's mansion for office. However, just as there is a place to rest in the White House in the United States, there is naturally a bedroom in the Governor's House for him and his guests to rest.
Now that the manor has not been completed, Yan Shao does not plan to go back to the old governor's mansion, so naturally he can only stay here to rest.
It's just that just when Yan Shao was sleeping sweetly, the door was suddenly opened, and then Katerina walked in from outside and patted Yan Shao's back.
"Hey, wake up, wake up..."
"Huh? What's wrong? Maybe it's because of the often 1-to-3 relationship a few days ago, Yan Shao is also very tired, so he is a little lazy when answering.
Yan Shao's body was already very good, and even if he dealt with two at a time at night, he had some spare strength. Some time ago, for Lu Ying's affairs, it was 5 kilometers a day, almost non-stop, and her physical fitness went to the next level, just two or three times a week, even if it was like this every day, Yan Shao couldn't bear it, and naturally it became like this...
Caterina naturally couldn't understand Yan Shao's suffering, after all, it was Yan Shao who was the most tired every time, and it had nothing to do with them, so Caterina just shook Yan Shao's body and said. "Wake up, there's something..."
It took about a while for Yan Shao to come to his senses.
Seeing that Yan Shao was finally sober, Caterina took out a telegram and handed it to Yan Shao. "Here you go, this is just from Nanjing..."
After receiving the telegram, Yan Shao rubbed his head in a bit of confusion, and only after half a ring did he focus on the telegram, but it didn't take long for him to look up at Caterina who was standing aside. "This..."
"Asking for silver...", Caterina's face was also a little disdainful when she said this.
Hearing Katarina's words, Yan Shao hurriedly opened the document, and at this time, Caterina stood aside and explained. "The news just came back from Nanjing, Nanjing's provisional government has fallen into a serious economic crisis, yesterday there was a force short of military salaries, want to let Sun Yat-sen approve some down, Sun Zhongshan approved 200,000 yuan, but when the others rushed to the warehouse, there was only 10 yuan left in the warehouse. At present, there are at least 10 batches of people who go up to ask for money every day from the Nanjing government, and sometimes there are even dozens of batches, and I think it is probably not far from a mutiny..."
Caterina explained. "That's the 10 bucks. Of course, a total of 2,000 yuan was sent over at that time, but for the Nanjing government, the money was obviously a drop in the bucket, so there were only a few pieces left in the blink of an eye, just 10 yuan, which is said to be deducted from the gap in the warehouse..."
"And now because of Tao Chengzhang's matter. The position of the governor of the Shanghai army has been changed to Li Xiehe, because this matter is also very unpleasant, and it is almost impossible for Li Xiehe to support the Nanjing government. And Li Xiehe can't come up with so much money, so if he wants to solve the economic crisis in a short period of time, at least the alliance will not be able to do it alone..."
Needless to say, the importance of Shanghai was, before the Xinhai Revolution. Sun Yat-sen once instructed Chen Qimei. Be sure to get your hands on Shanghai. Now because of Tao Chengzhang's killing, not only did Chen Qimei have to flee to Japan, but even the position of the governor of the Shanghai Army was lost, if the relationship between the Alliance and the Restoration Society can be the same as in the past, it is simply impossibleββββββ not to mention that Tao Chengzhang is still circulating on the market that Sun Yat-sen actually instructed Chen Qimei to kill, Chen Qimei is just a black pot, although there is no tangible evidence for this rumor, but there are many people in the Restoration Association who are willing to believe this rumor. Naturally, it is even more impossible to give the alliance any good look.
Li Xiehe's words, but he is really willing to take care of the overall situation. However, the opinions of the meeting should also be taken seriously, and the money needed by Nanjing is too much, even he can't take it out, so when the alliance will come to the door, he can only refuse with a hard heart.
There is no silver to raise in Shanghai, and the alliance will have no way out, it must be impossible to ask Yuan Shikai, not to mention whether people have so much money, even if they do, it is impossible to come forward to pull the alliance, at this time, someone in the alliance will think of Yan Shao.
Lowering his head, Yan Shao looked at the document carefully, what was written on it was similar to what Caterina said. "How many people's troops are there in Nanjing now?" This is also what Yan Shao is curious about, after all, if the number is relatively small, if someone funds the Nanjing government, they still have a chance to come back to life.
"A lot," Caterina replied after a moment's thought. At present, there are Zhejiang Army, Shanghai Army, Guangfu Army, Iron Blood Army, etc., stationed in and near Nanjing, plus the troops from all over the country who came to Nanjing to prepare for the Northern Expedition, the number has reached more than 200,000. β
"200,000," Yan Shao frowned. Nanjing is not far from Dangtu..."
Glancing at Yan Shao appreciatively, Caterina nodded. "That's why I came to you, 200,000 people, not counting anything else, just eating and drinking every day is a lot of money, if you count the military expenses, it also needs at least two million a month, such a large amount of money can not be taken out in China, the League in Nanjing has also issued military bonds, mobilized Nanyang expatriates to donate, borrowed from foreign banks, etc., but the funds raised are basically spent in hand, and it is basically impossible for them to solve this problem, so..."
Speaking of this, glancing at Yan Shao, Caterina continued. "Unless you help the Nanjing government, you have to take precautions..."
What to prevent, of course, is to prevent the stragglers in Nanjing from running bravely to make trouble.
You must know that the distance between Dangtu and Nanjing is not very far, it is difficult to say whether they will take advantage of the situation to come over to get a vote, especially when there are many people in the alliance who look at Yan Shao unpleasantly, such as Bai Wenwei, who should have sat in the position of governor of Anhui...
It is obviously impossible to let Yan Shao help the Alliance, and the people on the Ministry of Finance have roughly calculated according to the intelligence of the Special Affairs Bureau that if you want to support the provisional government, you need at least more than 100 million funds a year, and on average, you need at least 10 million per month. This figure is similar to the estimate of the current Minister of Industry Zhang Jian, according to Zhang Jian's estimate, if he wants to satisfy the Nanjing government for a year, he will give at least 100 million silver dollars.
Even if it is just to help solve the problem of those stragglers, it will take 2 million a month, not to mention that even if it is sent over, I don't know how many of them can fall into the hands of soldiers.
The most important thing is that Yan Shaowei wants to help the Alliance?
If you really come forward to help, there will be no end...
Although there is no shortage of revolutionaries like Song Jiaoren in the League, there are more of them who are inferior figures. If you really want to come forward to help, then Yan Shao can think about it even with his knees, and the people of the alliance will definitely come out and ask Yan Shao to help for the second, third, fourth or even fifth time.
Don't help? It's okay, but by that time, in the mouth of the Alliance, you're not authentic. They don't think it's someone else's business whether they want to help or not, they just think that since you helped once, you have to help to the end, that's all...
"How do you answer that?"
"How else can you answer..."Yan Shao smiled meaninglessly. Now we are busy purging the local scum, but we don't have time to take care of them...... However, well, I still saved some face for them, and the wording was a little more tactful, so I asked them if they lent them the money, when they would pay it back, what would they use to pay it back, and if they didn't return it in time, would the Yuan person in the north be willing to bear the cost? β
Saying that, Yan Shao showed a bright smile at Katarina. "In any case, I am also the governor of Anhui, and I can't waste the people's money........."
