Sun Yuanqi nodded with satisfaction: "Sun is honored to have your full support!" I believe that as long as we are united, even if the Japanese army is a hundred times stronger, it will eventually return! ”

After a pause, Sun Yuanqi said: "Of course, fighting a war and revolution is not about inviting guests to dinner, not making a fuss, not painting and embroidering, not so elegant, so calm and polite, so gentle and frugal. Free eBook Download // What is War? Fighting is violence, bloodshed and sacrifice, a violent action of one army to bring down another! If we want to defeat Japan, we must not sit here shouting slogans and make a show when we go back and make a show that the Japanese will throw away their armor and raise their flags and surrender, but we must start making preparations now, take precautions, and firmly establish the awareness that we are about to fight a war and a big war. That is one of the main reasons why we are meeting today.

"In order to deal with the Japanese army's possible attack at any time, we will temporarily set up a staff headquarters with the elite backbone forces of various provinces, divisions and brigades, which will be fully responsible for the pre-war preparations, military situation deduction, formulation of plans, and battlefield command for this major war. In addition, from now on, in addition to the three border provinces of Tibet, Qinghai, and Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Hubei, Hunan, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and other provinces will be reorganized into a new integrated division on the basis of the existing armies, and all units must be formed into combat strength by June. In addition, the divisions and brigades of the six provinces, including Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Hubei, and Hunan provinces, must arrive at the junction of Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong, and Henan provinces by the end of April to conduct actual combat exercises, familiarize themselves with all kinds of new weapons, and master all kinds of new tactics! ”

Zhu Rui, the governor of Zhejiang, couldn't help but ask: "Is the new weapon that Premier Baixi said referring to the ironclad car that defeated the Beiyang Army?" ”

Although both Sun Yuanqi and Yuan Shikai tried their best to hide the victory or defeat of the battle outside the mouth. But such a large-scale battle could not be concealed from those who wanted to do so, and soon the disparity between the results of the two sides was stabbed in the newspapers, and the tanks that played a huge role in the war also became the focus of attention of all parties. - However, the people didn't know that the iron-clad and invulnerable monster was called Tank. Instead, according to his own imagination, he named it a realist name such as "chariot" and "ironclad car".

"Ironclad car? The Governor of the Intermediary is talking about the Kirin tank, right? Sun Yuanqi nodded immediately, "The Kirin tank has achieved excellent results in the battle outside the mouth, and has accumulated rich combat experience, but it has also exposed a lot of problems. The modified tank will be unveiled in this real combat exercise, which is also one of the highlights of this real combat exercise. This ensured the formation of three brigades before the outbreak of war between China and Japan.

However, the new weapons involved in this actual combat exercise are not only tanks, but also a variety of other light and heavy weapons, such as the Minsan heavy machine gun developed by the Ordnance Engineering Society based on the Makqin machine gun, and the 1913 light machine gun developed by the Ordnance Science Research Institute. And in large-scale operations, infantry artillery coordination and infantry tank coordination. Even the ground-air coordination of infantry, tanks, and aircraft is also a training subject. We are far inferior to Japan in terms of the quality of our soldiers, and only by having an overwhelming advantage in weapons can we win a glimmer of life in the war! ”

Chen Mi, the chief of civil affairs of Shaanxi, asked: "Prime Minister Baixi, the soldiers are fighting fiercely on the battlefield. How can we help? ”

Sun Yuanqi said: "Of course, it is indispensable to trouble you!" There is no solid rear. How can the front line fight with peace of mind? Especially now, the Qing government has not abdicated for a long time, and it must be effective to be loyal to the former dynasty in vain attempts to restore; Seeing that the provincial garrisons are advancing eastward one after another, the revolutionaries, the remnants of Beiyang, and the ruffians and bandits who had been hidden before will also be ready to move. Civil affairs officials in various localities must closely investigate and arrest them on the spot, and must eliminate the chaos before it occurs. There are also the purchase of military rations after the summer harvest, the transfer of baggage to Shandong and other places, the relief of the wounded, the compensation for the dead, etc., in terms of the hardships of the work and the cumbersomeness of the details, I am afraid that it is better than the bloody battles on the front line! ”

Tang Shouqian also said: "Baixi is right! I think that when Chu and Han were fighting, the generals fought to the death in front of the city. Xiao He transferred food and supplies to soldiers in Guanzhong. When the Han Dynasty was established, Han Gaozu thought that Xiao He had the greatest credit. He also eats the most fiefdoms. What does this mean? It shows that the work of the rear is more than that of the front line, so it deserves to enjoy this big seal! The old man hopes that the civil affairs officials of various provinces can also follow Xiao Xiangguo's example, so that the front line has no worries. ”

At that moment, there was an in-depth discussion on the issues that might be involved in the war. The so-called "one person counts the short, two people count the long", everyone discussed it like this, Sun Yuanqi really found a lot of things that he had ignored before, and he had to secretly rejoice in his heart that this meeting was held as soon as possible, so that many problems were exposed in advance, and there was room for remedy.

In addition to the meeting, Sun Yuanqi also took the time to visit Cao Kun, who wrote a strong stroke in the history books.

Cao Kun, whose name is Zhongshan, was born in the first year of Tongzhi (1862) in a poor shipbuilder's family in Dagu, Tianjin. When he was a teenager, he went to a private school and studied for a few years, and he liked to dance with guns and sticks, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything, and his family was poor, so his father asked him to learn how to build wooden boats with him, but Cao Kun naturally refused. grinding back and forth, I had to let him do less hard work and more lobbying cloth business.

Although Cao San was a man of the year in the future, he was only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy at that time, he didn't know much about business at all, and he loved to make friends, he was good at drinking and greedy for glasses, and he ate, drank, and played with fox friends and dogs with a little money, and his business was basically enough for him to be happy. So the neighbors gave him the nickname "Cao San Fool". Later, due to fate, the impoverished Cao San was actually admitted to the Tianjin Wubei Academy, and became classmates with Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang, and later went to the small station to join Yuan Shikai's new army, becoming the first battalion of the right-wing infantry team, and began his career path.

- Cao Kun and Li Chun's experiences are very similar, they were both born in Tianjin, they were both small traders (one sells fish and the other sells cloth), they both were admitted to the Tianjin Military Academy, both entered the small station to train soldiers, and then began to make a career. Judging from their growth experience, it is very important to be born at the right time and in the right place, otherwise they may not have the opportunity to be admitted to the Tianjin Martial Arts Academy and enter the small station for training. It is like the abundant elder of Liu Bei, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the Nanyang close relative of Emperor Liu Xiu of Guangwu, the Huaixi group of Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, the generals of the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan, and even the founding father near Jinggang of this dynasty, all of them were all ascended to heaven by one person. It's really time, luck, and life!

Of course, these are not to be learned, after all, rebellion and revolution only catch up once in tens and hundreds of years, and reincarnation is a broad and profound technical work, so we inevitably have such good technology to catch up with that time and place. So what is there to learn?

First, don't despise knowledge and seize all opportunities for learning. Although Cao Kun and Li Chun were children of poor families, they both received a little education in private schools. If they didn't learn to read and write in a private school, even if the martial arts academy expanded its enrollment, they would not be qualified to enter the school, and naturally they would not have risen to the top in the future.

Second, social experience is very important. At a young age, the two of them went from house to house selling cloth and fish, came into contact with all kinds of people, experienced all kinds of things, and must have been more precocious than their peers, and also had more survival wisdom. Book knowledge is important, but social experience is the foundation of life, and only by placing book knowledge above social experience and melting into social experience can it be transformed into the real primary productive force.

The third is to be unwilling to be mediocre. As long as you continue to do it honestly, you can still support your family and even make a fortune by selling cloth and fish, but if you die, you will be the head of the cloth shop and the leader of the fishmongers, and you will never be able to reach the height of the division commander, the governor and even the president. Only by not being willing to be mediocre and bravely jumping out of the mediocre life can we appreciate a more wonderful life.

Let's say that after Cao Kun arrived in the army, he had no background, was honest, and was often bullied, as if he had no future at all. However, he has one characteristic, honest, and moody. Adhering to the creed of "talk less, do more", give the benefits to others, and endure hardships and stand hard work, no matter what you think in your heart, there is never a complaint on your face. simply interprets the image of "Cao San Fool" to the fullest.

In fact, he was "with a pig on his face, and his heart was bright", and he soon won the favor of Shangguan, all the way from the sentry officer to the position of commander and division commander, if there was no Sun Yuanqi to stir up the situation, he would also be on the rise, serving as the direct superintendent of the army, the envoy of the two lakes Xuanfu, and the envoy of the four provinces of Sichuan, Guangdong, Hunan and Jiangxi, and became the leader of the direct warlords, and then used the more than 13 million yuan to buy the pig members in the Congress, and was successfully elected as the fifth president of the Republic of China.

It's a pity that Sun Yuanqi is like Haifeisi, "with his half, the situation is completely different"!

At this moment, how can Cao Kun still have the demeanor of a future president? After Sun Yuanqi entered the door, he saw a short and fat old man with a depressed expression sitting listlessly on a chair, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find any "watch of the sky, the posture of the dragon and phoenix", not to mention "two hip bones, bulge on the top", "a human dragon jaw, five pillars on the forehead, and eyes outward" and other anomalies. Thinking about it, Cao San was originally ordered by Yuan Si to be ambitious and wanted to go south to quell the rebellion, and earn a king to worship the prime minister with gold and purple, but he didn't expect that Tang Tianxi under his command would actually fight back, capture him alive and send him to Taiyuan as the capital to invite merit! Who can be happy when this happens?

Seeing that Sun Yuanqi looked at himself for a long time, Cao Kun couldn't help but ask: "The Prime Minister personally came to see Cao, a prisoner under the ranks, I don't know what advice?" (To be continued.) )
