After everything was on the right track for the new government, President Sun began to actively prepare for the Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition, preparing to unify Yungui after annihilating the Gui warlords, and then go north to unify the whole country.

However, the Cantonese army relied on by the new government was in the hands of Chen Jiongming, but Chen Jiongming was a person who advocated the autonomy of the provinces, and Chen Jiongming regarded the Cantonese army as his personal arm, so he did not take the new government seriously.

Chen Jiongming, who had resigned as governor of Guangdong Province, wandered around the city, and when he arrived at the residence of the generals, he chatted with them, intentionally or unintentionally.

The subordinate general Ye Ju was a subordinate of Long Jiguang before, and after the fall of Long, he followed Chen Jiongming, and he was a confidant of Chen Jiongming in the southern and northern wars.

Seeing Chen Jiongming's uncertain appearance, Ye Ju smiled and said, "After defeating Guangzhou City, we can also take a rest, but why is Dashuai's brows still tightly locked?" ”

Hearing his henchman's question, the corners of Chen Jiongming's mouth rose slightly, and he sighed later: "It's hard to say, now we have just settled down, but those people are still clamoring to go to the Northern Expedition, and they won't let us live a day of stability." You call back and forth? Isn't it all about fighting for territory! ”

After that, Chen Jiongming put his hand behind his back and couldn't help sighing.

Ye Ju walked over and whispered, "Why should you worry about this? Isn't the team still in our own hands? In these years, nothing is as good as a gun, we can listen to what the president says, if we don't want to listen, he can't even be the president in Guangzhou City! ”

Hearing Ye Ju speak so presumptuously, Chen Jiongming glanced around and whispered, "Brother, you can't talk nonsense!" ”

Ye Ju smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is in our own military camp, and it doesn't hurt to say a few big words." ”

Chen Jiongming said: "In the future, you should not say this kind of big talk, although the team is in our hands, but they also have a team in their hands." Hear the news? Huang Ke's new army had expanded to 5,000 men and was now stationed on the outskirts of Guangzhou. ”

Ye Ju smiled contemptuously: "Why should the old man worry about those people? It's just a bunch of new soldiers, and if you give the order, I'll lead my army to defeat them in less than a day. ”

"No, no" Chen Jiongming disagreed with his opinion, he said meaningfully: "This team is well-equipped, I have also seen their combat effectiveness with my own eyes, if you want to drive out the new government, I am afraid that these people will be a big nail at that time." ”

While the warlords and the government in the south were engaged in internal struggle, a war had already begun in the north of China.

In early summer, first of all, the warlords of the Zhifeng and Feng families fell out, and the first Zhifeng War started in northern China. Immediately afterwards, Feng Yuxiang led his troops into Henan, and the war once again spread to the land of northern China......

In the presidential palace in Guangzhou, President Sun was reviewing documents, and next to his desk, Huang Ke sat there sipping tea while carefully observing the surrounding scene.

After reviewing the document, the president put down the German pen in his hand and said: "Xinghua, don't talk about the purpose of your visit this time, just tell me your views on Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu about this war, right?" ”

Huang Ke didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Sun Gong's gourd, but he simply said: "Militarily speaking, both sides are laymen when they start fighting, and Feng Yuxiang was sent by Wu Peifu to attack Henan. Henan overseers Zhao Qi and Wu Peifu did not agree with each other, Wu Peifu was just a little lucky, and later Sa Zhenbing led the ship north to threaten the rear of the Feng army, and even accelerated to drive away Zhang Zuolin. ”

"Yes, any other opinions?" Sun Gong asked with interest.

"I think the most important thing is that right now, after the defeat of the Zhifeng War and the Feng Department, Wu Peifu entered Beiping, and the two sides died down, on the surface, this matter is in the past, but it is not that simple. Because Wu Peifu knows that his biggest enemy is not Zhang Zuolin or us! ”

"Wu Peifu knew that we were bound to carry out the Northern Expedition, and the Northern Expedition was to protect the law and oppose the new law in the north, so the government to protect the law was established. If the Beijing government restores the rule of law, we will lose our excuse and basis, and we will have no political support for the southern government. ”

President Sun couldn't help nodding, it seemed that he agreed with Huang Ke's opinion.

"You are right, only by training a revolutionary army as soon as possible and realizing the Northern Expedition as soon as possible can we reunify and make the country rich and strong."

Huang Ke continued: "Mr. President, this is also the situation I am about to report to you. Now that the new army lacks officers, the blind expansion of the army will only lead to an extremely low combat effectiveness. Therefore, we must establish a revolutionary officer training school to train outstanding revolutionary officers. ”

President Sun meditated for a while, he had this idea a long time ago, and now in this situation, the opening of military academies is undoubtedly the top priority, but he said that he is worried about how new the new army is.

After a pause, the president said to Huang Ke: "The new army, the new military academy is to distinguish it from the old army. Chen Jiongming has some personal feelings, and his political views are also stuck on the autonomy of the provinces, and we cannot rely on him all. ”

After hearing this, Huang Ke felt a burst of joy in his heart, it seems that Sun has understood that relying on warlords to fight warlords is still a warlord in the end, if you want to train a revolutionary army as soon as possible, then it must be based on Huang Ke's new army. Thinking of this, Huang Ke couldn't help but show joy.

President Sun didn't pay attention to the fleeting joy on Huang Ke's face, and he continued: "Xinghua, I have already thought about these problems you are worried about, and I have also observed some foreign military training models, and I think the northern model can be used as a reference. ”

"The former Soviet Union?" Huang Ke was stunned in his heart, he kept making mistakes after he said it, not to mention bringing the word "former", Huang Ke, who has a bad history, remembered that the Soviet Union at this time was not called the Soviet Union, he forgot what it was called, he remembered that it should be called Soviet Russia or something else.

No matter! Huang Ke saw that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said: "When the president said that the north is not referring to the revolutionary Soviet Russia not long ago. ”

"Yes," the president said with a smile, "I know about their military, which is growing very fast, and it is very similar to the situation we are facing at home and abroad." The main reason why they were able to defeat the enemy quickly was because they had a firm faith. On the other hand, the army of the old warlords was defeated with one blow because they had no faith, no faith, and fought for territory. ”

"And what do you mean, Mr. President?" Huang Ke asked tentatively, but he occasionally felt a little uneasy in his heart, could it be that he wanted to set up your party's party branch in his new army? Alas, how can I be as selfish as those warlords? Huang Ke couldn't help but scold himself, if it is beneficial to the country, what does it matter if it is his own team? But right now, it seems that this is the only way to do it, otherwise wouldn't this backer of mine be going to collapse?

"President, Huang Ke is willing to ask Ying to prepare for the establishment of a new military academy, train qualified officers of the revolutionary army, and shed his blood for the revolution!"

Huang Ke was excited and said a lot of lines sprinkled with dog blood, although what he said was a little false, but he also had some sincerity in his heart.

President Sun's face suddenly became solemn: "Xinghua, I will leave this matter to you, as for the instructors, I will solve the funds, but after half a year, I want you to train a strong force loyal to the revolution." What do you think? Have faith? ”

The knife is on the neck, and I don't have the confidence to say that there is, but next time I will go to Mr. Liao to ask for funds. Huang Ke snapped and saluted: "President, please rest assured, Huang Ke will live up to the president's expectations and train a strong team!" ”
