Chapter 100: Keeping Promises
At the sound of an order, these 3,000 people were in the illusion that they were surrounded by the enemy.
Some of the anxious brothers couldn't wait to run into the mountains, because half an hour after Commander Yang gave the order to start the exercise, the large force of the 1st Division would pursue and suppress them, and the farther away from the soldiers of the 1st Division during this period of time, the better.
However, popular candidates like Erpolezi and Wang Jinhan and some old brothers were not in a hurry, and they didn't set off with Zuihou until the team was almost gone.
Yang Xiaolin looked at it and smiled, this is the gap between the soldiers. The soldiers who did not have a lot of experience on the battlefield went first, because they were afraid of being caught by the first division that was waiting in the rear. But people like Erpole know that the most dangerous is not Sui Bing's troops, but the invisible men and horses of Tang Yulin and Liu Xianhe in front!
The three thousand people all disappeared from Yang Xiaolin's field of vision within five minutes, and Zhang Zuolin leaned his head over: "Commander, I reconnoitred the mountain in advance and found that there are many people hiding supplies in the mountain, look at this." ”
Two sorghum dough cakes, a pot of burning knives.
The regulations of this exercise are that no one is allowed to bring food, and no one has anything to eat. Although two pieces of bread and a pot of wine are not much, if someone takes them, then he will take advantage of them in the past few days.
Yang Xiaolin smiled: "Have you found it all?" ”
Zhang Zuolin shook his head: "I don't dare to say it, I found a lot, but there must be some leaks." Do you want us to send someone to follow and investigate? ”
Cai Ye said next to him: "I think people can quietly follow up without breaking the rules of the exercise." If someone is found to be in violation, they will be out immediately! ”
Yang Xiaolin's hand waved: "Forget it, don't pursue it anymore." If they can't find it, they have the ability. ”
Cai Ye obviously opposes such an attitude: "This is not good, this is a violation of the rules, and it is opportunistic!" ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded and brought the two sorghum bread cakes. took a bite: "I think we can also learn from the practices of the soldiers, and properly establish some hidden supply points in the mountains, which will be beneficial to future wars!" ”
He opened the burning knife and drank a few sips, and then said to Cai Ye: "Songpo, if the British want to wage war against us, it will definitely not be an equal battle. Therefore, in addition to being brave, our commanders must be opportunistic! ”
Cai Ye was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Commander Yang said made some sense. I didn't say anything more.
Tai Wangu ran over from a distance at this time: "Commander, Robert said that he wanted to see you on something important, and now that he is in Baishan, he said that you must go back quickly." ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded: "I originally wanted to wait to see who was the first to be caught, but it seems that it will not work." Songpa, leave the rest to you, we will go to White Mountain now, it must be a big deal for Robert to be in such a hurry, he is now a local councillor in the UK. Sa Daoyi's eyes in the Northeast, I also want to know what he wants to do. ”
Cai Yi immediately gave a military salute: "Please rest assured that Songpa will successfully complete the exercise task." ”
When Yang Xiaolin came to Baishan County, Mr. Robert had been waiting for him for six hours. The guard told Yang Xiaolin. During these six hours, Robert did not leave the room at all.
"Commander Yang, you're finally back."
Robert, who became a member of parliament, wore a well-fitting suit and also grew a beard. The swear words are now completely gone. Yang Xiaolin can't find the shadow of a hooligan in his body, but he is still a hooligan, in his bones.
Yang Xiaolin smiled at him after entering the door: "What are you looking for me?" Is your factory running smoothly? I've got people to take care of you. If there are any other questions, just ask. ”
Robert followed him: "Things are going well at the factory, and now it's in production. I have also built a marketing channel, you don't have to worry, I came this time for other problems. ”
Yang Xiaolin glanced at him: "Say." ”
Robert thought for a moment: "I want to buy the jishu that you made mines." ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't react after hearing this: "Didn't I sell you a batch of the most advanced mines?" Robert, that's the latest one I developed. Nothing is hidden from you. ”
Robert's shoulders shrugged: "I think you may not have heard clearly, what I want to buy is not a mine, it is a jishu that makes a mine!" ”
This time Yang Xiaolin understood, and understood very clearly. His heart was suddenly very happy, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously: "What? Can't you copy it on the British side? ”
Robert's eyes were very complicated, and Zuihou admitted this fact: "In the short term, we British troops are very amazed at the power of your mines, and our experts have studied and have always been unable to figure out several problems, and the military says that it will take time." So, the British side asked me to make this deal with you. ”
"Haha!"
Yang couldn't help it anymore, the effect of cooperating with the Germans was so obvious, when his little experience in playing with military models was combined with the advanced machines of the current Germans in this era, they could have jishu that the British could not imitate!
With jishu that can't be imitated, you can create products that others can't imitate! And what about selling mines to the British yourself? In front of them, they couldn't figure out how powerful the mines weinme were.
Yang Xiaolin knew that they would definitely be able to figure it out if they were given time, but when they figured it out, the third-generation mines developed by themselves and the Germans would come out, and they would always have to be one step slower!
Robert also said helplessly: "We, the British, have tried to open a gap from Germany, but the Germans have done a very good job of secrecy, and we have paid a great price and have not succeeded." If you are able to transfer the jishu, the British side assures you, "
Before he finished speaking, Yang Xiaolin interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Robert, I don't have to beat around the bush with you about our relationship. You know who I am, I have signed an agreement with Hoffman for these military projects, and without their permission, I can't transfer Jishu to you. ”
Robert immediately said, "Yang, I hope you can think it through. ”
"There's nothing to think about, I'm not a person who talks much about rules and credit, but there are some rules that I will still follow. For example, the agreement between me and Hoffman, or the business dealings between us. If it were someone else, I wouldn't have said so much to him at all. But you Robert is different. Well, I can promise you that if you get Mr. Hoffman's consent, I will transfer it to you. ”
Robert's face immediately changed: "You fuck! If I could talk to the Germans, would I come to you? ”
Yang Xiaolin sat on the chair and smiled slightly: "Mr. Councilor, gentleman, keep a gentleman's demeanor!" ”
Robert didn't care about his demeanor, he took out the momentum when he was a scoundrel and rushed over: "Yang! It's all good for us, and I'll be honest with you, I'm just a nominal member of parliament. Nobody takes me seriously! But if I can do that, I'll officially enter politics. The same is true for you! You know the situation, the crisis in China has given you an opportunity, and if our British government had treated you a little better, you might have unimaginable returns! ”
Yang Xiaolin glared at him: "Don't think about it, I know that your British government looks at me very unpleasantly, so I told Sa Daoyi for me, and said that Lao Tzu is ready in the northeast and let the horse come!" ”
Robert finally decided that he couldn't complete his mission. Even if he was very unwilling, his body slowly left Yang Xiaolin: "You are really a very stubborn bastard!" ”
Yang Xiaolin didn't explain anything: "Don't talk about me like that." Robert can be a gentleman in this world, so there are no bastards at all. Well, a trip can't let you go in vain. What's more, you've been waiting for me for hours, and I'll give you the next order for tracks, which will be produced to my specifications, no matter how much you produce. I want them all! ”
Robert shook his head: "Alas, you better think about how to survive first." Yang, you just refused. It's your zuihou chance. ”
Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Maybe." I will ask the council to expand your factory, not only yours, but all the foreigners' factories who come to invest in us will unconditionally help you expand the factory, which does not require you to give me any funds, the only condition is that when the northeast falls into war, you must ensure the safety of those Chinese working in your factories. Also, the safety of all Chinese who enter your factory to seek protection! ”
Just like Yuan Shikai and Sun Wen, they are sticking to their own paths and preparing for the worst. Robert came this time to let Yang Xiaolin know that he was right to insist on, and the British would definitely not interfere in the Chinese revolution!
Britain in this era is like the United States in the 21st century, as long as there is their interests, no matter where there is a war, they will intervene, in the words of gentlemen, they must do their part for the international community.
It is the bounden duty of Mr. Sa Daoyi to ensure that China can smoothly integrate into civilization, and these are the words of Sa Daoyi himself in Beijing. The British did not react for a while because Xiong Bingkun's gunfire disrupted their initial layout, and they had to find a new starting point to do things.
But no matter how they choose, they will not cooperate with themselves. What Robert sent to himself was really an opportunity to express his goodwill to the British side, but Yang Xiaolin was not Sun Wen and Yuan Shikai, although he was a beast, but there were some contracts that must be abided by.
His performance once again surprised Mr. Sadaoyi, and when he put down Robert's telegram from the Northeast, Mr. Sadaoyi was a little angry. The beast rejected the British government, and said that he would let the horse go, which was simply a contempt and challenge to the British Empire! No one can challenge the British Empire on this shijie!
Sa Daoyi determined that his policy of exterminating Yang Xiaolin was completely correct, since he let himself let the horse go, then go over. A new place to start? Mr. Sadaoyi has been found.
"Bower, that beast refuses to give up his cooperation with the Germans, and we must get rid of him."
The expression of the French minister Bower was very normal: "I have long said that he will not agree, I think we should consider the plan of the Japanese, the Japanese minister has already approached me three times, and they are very interested in the northeast, and they can't wait even more than us." As long as we give some money, they are willing to go to war. ”
Sa Daoyi shook his head and said, "It's troublesome to let the Japanese send troops!" The Russians would not be willing to see the Japanese benefit in the Northeast. As I said, if given a choice, the Russians would rather choose Yang Dagui as their neighbor than the Japanese. Therefore, our previous Jihua asked Yuan Shikai to send troops first, and if he couldn't fight, we would join the battle in the name of helping the Beiyang Army, and at that time Japan and Russia could send troops.
