Chapter 293: Loud Noise
Sitting in the car, Yan Shao smiled and pointed outside to Elano and the others.
For him, seeing the city changing little by little, there is always a feeling of playing a business game.
"In the future, I like to play this kind of game the most...", naturally, this kind of thing can only be said in the heart.
But seriously, many games in later generations are inseparable from this model.
Looking at the characters you operate, the level on your body is getting higher and better, and the equipment is getting better a little bit, which is actually a kind of management and cultivation.
Seeing that Yan Shao was almost thirty years old, he still didn't have a calm look, even Lu Ying's face had a helpless smile.
However, Elaline also felt a sense of relief to see the city become like this, because the city has become like this, and they have put a lot of effort into it.
"I wonder what the city can grow into after the most difficult road?" Through the window, Elaline, who was looking outside, sighed softly.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Just as Elaline and the others were riding to the park, in the Ministry of Military Affairs, Fu Xiuming, Zhang Ying, Xiao Yongyan and others also gathered in the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Sitting at the long table in the conference room, after the coffee or tea and other drinks they needed were served, Xiao Yongyan asked first. "Minister, how did you talk to the Governor about the establishment?"
"Yes, does the Governor agree?" Sitting on the sidelines, several other younger officers also asked anxiously.
On the other side, Zhang Ying and several other more stable generals did not speak. But he also turned his head sideways to look at Fu Xiuming.
Just like other departments, there are some internal contradictions within the Ministry of Military Affairs, which is also a common thing. After all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes (not in the wrong place, right?). It would be strange if there were no disputes and contradictions in a department with more than 100,000 troops.
However, even in such a department, there will be a unanimous opinion, and this opinion is the reform of the troop establishment. On this matter, at least, both the radicals and the moderate in the military agree.
After seeing the changes in Anhui, the former already fully supported Yan Shao's so-called national socialism. Some people even think that only 'national socialism can save China' or something. Of course, they are also the most supportive of promoting the military and political stage.
The moderate, though hesitant to use force to promote reunification, are somewhat hesitant. But there is not much doubt about the expansion of the troops.
Generally speaking, if we expand our armaments, the biggest problem is that this kind of thing can easily turn into reckless militarism, and the more we expand our armaments, the more difficult it will be for the common people to live.
But now the military government's military expenses are all paid by Yan Shao's private pockets. It has little to do with the common people. Even when more than 50 million yuan was used to purchase armaments, the common people and businessmen still enjoyed ultra-low taxes.
In other words, the moderates do not have to worry about the adverse impact of the build-up on Anhui. Soldiers, without affecting the country, usually do not oppose measures such as expanding the military force, and since there is no need to worry about the impact on the common people, these moderates will naturally not oppose the expansion of the establishment...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, hearing the words of the others, Fu Xiuming couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Yesterday. Because Xiao Yongyan chased them tightly, Fu Xiuming could only go to the Governor's Mansion in person when he had no choice. As a result, I arrived at the Governor's Palace. He found that Yan Shao was playing chess with Fumiko on the lawn...
The fact that Yan Shao is a stinky chess basket is basically an open secret within the military government.
Naturally, no one would say it in front of Yan Shao, although I had never heard of Yan Shao retaliating against anyone, but just offending his immediate boss like this, smart people would not do it...
On the other hand, although the chess game is a little worse, but Yan Shao is not worse than Fumiko after all, so the two sides are evenly matched, and after almost half an hour of chess, Yan Shao is still better at the end and wins the game...
It's just that for Fu Xiuming, watching such a bad chess game is definitely torture for him...
In any case, the chess game is over and it is a good thing for Xiuming after all.
It's just that when he asked Yan Shao about the expansion of the troop, Yan Shao, who was holding Fumiko in his arms, shook his head and sighed...
Just when Fu Xiuming thought that Yan Shao was going to object, Yan Shao raised his head again and asked him with a smile. "You say, do I want to raise two white-sided dolphins to play in the big lake?"
The big lake, which is the lake next to the manor, covers an area that is neither large nor small, but it is enough to raise two white-sided dolphins.
However, when Fu Xiuming thought that Yan Shao didn't hear what he had just said, and repeated it for this reason, he noticed the snickering of Fumiko in Yan Shao's arms, and the smile in Yan Shao's eyes, Fu Xiuming realized that Yan Shao was joking with him.
As for the expansion of the army, Yan Shaozhi gave him a reply.
"I'll be back from the park tomorrow..."
This is also Fu Xiuming's reply to Zhang Ying and Xiao Yongyan...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Waiting for the governor to come back from the park..."Hearing this answer, Xiao Yongyan smiled helplessly.
Zhang Ying and other moderate factions also shook their heads regretfully.
This time, since it involved nine divisions plus an infantry regiment, the movement was by no means small. As for why they want Yan Shao's support, the reason is also very simple, because there is opposition from the Ministry of Finance.
Unlike most of the military personnel in the Ministry of Military Affairs who want to promote reunification by force, the Ministry of Finance and other agencies mostly hope that it can be done peacefully. For example, the Kuomintang is now growing very well in various places, and if it continues to grow in this way, it is very likely that it will defeat the Kuomintang and Yuan Shikai's Progressive Party and become the largest party in China.
(Progressive Party.) With the support of Yuan Shikai, it was formed by the United Party, the Republican Party, and the Democratic Party in order to oppose the absolute superiority of the Kuomintang. Historically, on May 29, 1913, the Republican Party (led by Li Yuanhong), the Democratic Party (led by Liang Qichao), and the United Party (led by Zhang Jian) officially merged to form the Progressive Party. And convene the inaugural meeting, the parties themselves adopt the same nationalism ... οΌ
Historically, the Progressive Party was originally founded in May of 13, but at this time, due to the emergence of the National Socialist Party, the Progressive Party was also much earlier than the previous party in history...
Today's situation, in terms of military and other strength, at least in the eyes of others, is the first in Beiyang. The Kuomintang came second, the Kuomintang third, and a series of other legitimates.
And in terms of party politics. It was the first of the Kuomintang, the second of the Progressive Party of Beiyang, and the third of the National Socialist Party.
However, in the current situation, the Kuomintang is very sure that it will be able to surpass the Beiyang Progressive Party or even the Kuomintang. And because of this. The moderates in the Nationalist Socialist Party thought of a more peaceful way. Let Yan Shao replace Yuan Shikai's position through party politicsββββββ and don't blame them, after all, there are such people in every era...
Under these circumstances, if the Ministry of Military Affairs adopts the expanded establishment plan, it is obvious that a large amount of military expenditure will be used, and for the Ministry of Finance and other departments, this money will be used not only for military affairs, but for the construction of Anhui and the development of party groups.
Although the Ministry of Military Affairs has military power in its hands, Anhui is different from other provinces controlled by the military. In this province, the soldiers do not overwhelm each other because of the guns in their hands. In this case, the support of Yan Shao, the governor of Anhui, became very important.
Because both support the Ministry of Military Affairs. Or support the Ministry of Finance and other departments, and finally take the money from Yan Shao's money bag...
"Trouble..."Sighing bitterly, Liu Guangyuan shook his head.
After the Battle of Cihuhe, as the establishment was expanded to nine divisions, Liu Guangyuan also became the commander of one of the divisions, enjoying the rank of major general.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
The current establishment of the National Social Army is 14 men per infantry squad, three squads are a platoon, and the platoon headquarters is 4 people, a total of 46 people. Then three platoons were formed into a company, and the company headquarters was 14 people, a total of 152 people.
Four companies are a battalion with a battalion headquarters of 51 people, a total of 659 people, and three battalions are a regiment with a regimental headquarters of 28 people, plus a guard platoon for a total of 2,051 people. Two regiments are a brigade, the brigade headquarters is 28 people, plus a guard company, a total of 4,282 people.
Then two brigades were a division, plus the division headquarters guard company, a total of 8,726 people.
In addition, there are 2,332 people in the artillery regiment, 1,117 people in the cavalry regiment, 667 people in the engineer battalion, 754 people in the baggage battalion, 51 people in the military band, plus 800 people in the heavy machine gun company of the four regiments, and 800 people in the heavy machine gun battalion of the two brigades, a total of 15,829 people, almost 16,000 people.
In fact, the new establishment is not very big in terms of changes, but the original three platoons into a company have been changed to four platoons, that is, 200 people in each platoon. Each battalion will reach 851 people, three battalions are a regiment, that is, 2,553 people, plus the regimental headquarters, the regimental heavy machine gun company, the regimental guard platoon, etc., the total number of people is 2,846 people...
In this way, if two regiments are a brigade, counting the brigade headquarters, guard company, brigade heavy machine gun battalion, etc., the strength of one brigade will reach 6720...
The biggest change in this expansion is mainly in the infantry, and other arms such as artillery and cavalry have not changed much, and after the reorganization, the total strength of the entire infantry division will reach a very staggering 18,510 people...
Even compared to the German infantry division in 1914, it was almost 2,000 more men.
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why the Ministry of Finance and other departments will oppose it, because in their opinion, with the current situation in the country, there is no need for such a large establishment.
However, Yan Shao intends to support the decision of the Ministry of Military Affairs on this, and the reason is very simple...
Because he knows very well that this establishment may be a bit exaggerated now, but after the outbreak of the First World War and the fact that all countries began to be equipped with machine guns in large quantities, this establishment was not as conspicuous as it is now...
At that time, such a compilation will be the most common one...
Even compared with other countries, such as the United States, there will be a little bit of backwardness...
But in any case, if it is really organized according to this organization. Sweeping across the country, it seems that there is no problem...
In the conference room of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Fu Xiuming and Zhang Ying were still discussing how to persuade Yan Shao. Let him choose to support the Ministry of Military Affairs instead of the Ministry of Finance, and he didn't even notice that the coffee and tea on the table were cold, but at this time, there was a sudden sound of rapid running outside, and then Fu Xiuming and the others saw several officers running in in a panic, and at the same time conveyed a message to them that surprised them...
ββββββββββββββββββββ
Just when the Ministry of Military Affairs was still discussing how to win Yan Shao's support, he was on the way to the park. The convoy has also begun to drive into the street where Ke Yun and Gao Sencheng are located.
"See, it's the particularly lengthened car in the middle..."Standing on the street, Gao Sen once said to Ke Yun next to him.
In the distance. The special edition 'Liulan' that Yan Shao was riding in was unusually conspicuous, not only because he was tightly surrounded by several other cars, but more importantly, it was much longer than the others.
For Yan Shao, traveling with his family by car is obviously a very ordinary thing.
So here's the question...
If it's a regular car. There are only a maximum of three people in the back row. If you sit 4 people, it will become very crowded. This is true both in this day and age and in the future...
Other cars in this era can usually only seat two people, which is already remarkable that Liulan can squeeze four people, and it is also because the interior space is spacious enough, so Liulan can sell so well abroad...
If it is for others, Liu Lan is naturally enough, but for Yan Shao...
Don't forget. He has these four wives...
If you're traveling with your family, you can't sit in the back with three women. He sat in the co-pilot's seat, and it was impossible to get one or two to the other carββββββ in that case, whoever he chooses, the harem will be a civil war.
In order to avoid this situation, he specially asked Li Yin to get this car out a few months ago.
The interior space is spacious enough for 4 people, and the innovation effect is also very good.
Naturally, others only see comfort and luxury, but Yan Shao is most concerned about the harmonious relationship between his family, after all, there is nothing more important to him than his family...
But because of this, in Ke Yun's opinion, this car is so conspicuous, and there is almost no possibility of mistake...
"So what's next?" Turning his head, Ke Yun became enlightened to Gao Sen.
"Of course," Gao Sencheng smiled. Then you just need to throw the grenade next to the car, and I don't need to say anything more for the rest..."Saying that, Gao Sencheng patted Ke Yun on the shoulder, and after the attention of him, Du Ying and the others was focused on the car, Gao Sencheng quietly took two steps back, then turned around and walked into the store, closed the door, went upstairs to pick up the belongings that had been prepared, and then stood at the window on the second floor, just waiting for the thing to succeed, he left through the back door with the things around him, and then went directly to Shanghai by boat...
In Anqing, there will not be too few people who know him.
As long as something happens, no matter whether it can be successful in the end, the people of the Special Affairs Bureau will find out that Ke Yun and they used to live in this office, if he continues to stay in the office or Anqing, what will be the final result even if he uses his knees, Gao Sencheng can think of it...
According to some information circulating from the Special Affairs Bureau, the torture methods of the Special Information Bureau are unique, and if possible, Gao Sencheng has no interest in trying it...
"Anyway...", he glanced at Ke Yun and the others downstairs, although he was very nervous, but the corners of Gao Sencheng's mouth still showed a smile. Thank you, whether you succeed or not, it will be in the best interest of the Empire..."
It was not clear what Gao Sencheng was muttering above their heads.
At this time, standing in the flow of people, Ke Yun and the others were looking at the slowly coming convoy with a nervous face, and their hands had already tightened the hemp rope behind the horsetail grenade bodyββββββ this kind of grenade was the same as the later Japanese-style grenade, it needed to be bumped before use, and it was very troublesome to use, so Ke Yun and they had complained a lot, but this was the most powerful weapon they could get.
So despite the constant complaints, they can only choose to accept it...
About half a minute later, the convoy finally drove in front of Ke Yun and them.
Although there were some policemen in front of them to maintain order, after seeing that the car had driven in front of them, they didn't even need to issue any codes, Ke Yun and the others had already knocked out the grenade very tacitly, and then rushed towards the direction of the convoy...
Terrorist attack? There's no such thing in this day and age...
Assassinate? Yan Shao has really encountered it a few times since he took office, but in the past half a year, he has rarely encountered this kind of thing, and the people around him who are responsible for maintaining order are some ordinary policemen, and they have never learned how to deal with this kind of thing at all, so they are almost stunned to look at Ke Yun and they rushed out of the city with grenades.
However, although the police did not react, the soldiers of the Guards Regiment in front of and behind the convoy and the members of the plainclothes special services in ambush around them simulated this kind of thing...
So just for the first time, without even waiting for the car to stop, some soldiers had already pulled the car door and rushed out of the car, and the plainclothes around them also pulled out their pistols and shot down the two assassins.
It's just that this happened too suddenly, so a few bundles of grenades were thrown at the side of the car at the end of the day. And in the car, Elano and Caterina even had time to throw Yan Shao, who hadn't reacted to what was happening, into the car...
There was a loud bang.
This loud bang not only shocked Anhui, but also shocked the whole country...
A new era has begun... (To be continued......)
