Sending away Koji Yamaguchi, Zhao Ming's eyes fell on a huge map on his back.

There are a lot of characters on this map, all of which are marked with specific characters, and a discerning person can see at a glance that this is the current division of various forces in the country.

By this day, he had a division of troops, a large number of guns and ammunition for practice, and an adequate supply of food.

The morale and strength of the army have been perfectly replenished, and now this army may not be able to compete with the trump cards of the various warlords.

But it is certain that once it adapts and goes through a few battles, this army will quickly metamorphose.

"There's still too little time!" Zhao Ming couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

There is no way, I thought that the war would not be long before it happened, but in fact, the movements in various places are a little too frequent, and there is a tendency that the mountains and rains are about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Last year, the Battle of Chiang Gui ended in a resounding victory for the Chancellor, which also fully demonstrates the Chancellor's desire for disarmament.

The Central Plains War seems to be just because of the contradictions between the warlords, but this contradiction is actually not that complicated, and to put it bluntly, there is still no unity of opinion.

The main reason is that the armies of Chiang, Feng, Yan, and Li are expanding their armies while the Northern Expedition, and the army in the hands of the latter four has reached millions of people.

Where does this finance come from? Of course, it can't just be that these marshals pay for themselves, but they have the support of a consortium behind them.

This consortium is also the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium.

However, because of the high military spending, it has evolved into the National Association for the Promotion of Military Reduction.

Naturally, the first issue before us is disarmament, which can also be called the reduction of feuds.

According to statistics, it is conservatively estimated that it will cost 200 million oceans a year to feed an army of 500,000 people.

In other words, a million army has to consume 400 million oceans a year.

No matter how rich this Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai consortium is, it is not so humble.

Secondly, disarmament can be said to go to the heart of the principal.

The principal dreamed of concentrating the military, personnel, and administrative finances in one, which is what he has always pursued.

At this time, there was a newspaper on the table in front of Zhao Ming's eyes, and this newspaper was about the events of January.

That is, the national reorganization conference held in Nanjing.

The ending was naturally not unexpected, and all parties parted unhappily.

Since there is no way to political disarmament, Zhao Ming knows with his ass that the next step can only be disarmament by force.

The war has come, and although the Battle of Jianggui has largely ended, sporadic fighting continues.

Zhao Ming began to think about the memories of the future generations, if he remembered correctly, after the war was completely calmed down, the principal would try his best to win over Yan Dashuai and divide Feng Dashuai.

So then Lao Feng had to suffer.

If everything hadn't changed, then Lao Feng would have to be deceived by his old brother Yan Dashuai in July, and finally be imprisoned.

Yan Laoxi is not a good stubble, this person was humble with the principal at the beginning, and then began to control Lao Feng, holding the two trump cards of the Northwest Army and the Jin Sui Army, so he has the capital to negotiate with the principal on an equal footing.

But the headmaster is not a fuel-efficient lamp, while taking advantage of Lao Feng's absence in the station, he began to frantically envelop his subordinates, while constantly attacking the Jin army.

The two sides are pulling each other, it can be said that from beginning to end, Lao Feng has been played with in the palm of his hand, and a single tragic word is not enough to explain.

By October, the two sides had completely joined forces and decided to attack the principal.

It's just that less than a month and a half after the outbreak of the war, the battle line plummeted, and he was beaten up by the principal.

The reason is also simple, the two sides are still at odds in principle, Lao Feng was forced to command the Northwest Army remotely, and Yan Laoxi did not believe in the Northwest Army, which led to the fact that only the Northwest Army fought alone.

Secondly, the principal has an advantage in financial, material, and military resources, and the consortium behind him is actively raising military salaries, and even the public debt of the association is used to fight.

In addition, the principal's wife openly organized a consolation team and brought 200,000 oceans to the front line to reward the soldiers, and the morale soared.

On the other hand, Lao Feng's side, the poor jingle sounded, and Yan Laoxi was reluctant to give money to his allies, plus there was a shortage of ammunition.

There is also a name for righteousness, which can be said to be the right time and place and all of them are occupied, and if you lose, it will be hell.

"Do you want to take advantage of this opportunity this year? Once you've done it, there's no going back! ~”

Zhao Ming muttered softly, this time it was actually the real hors d'oeuvres before the Central Plains War.

It can also be called the second counter-general of the Northwest Army.

Lao Feng had a quarrel with the principal before, this time will be the second time, and next year, that is, 30 years, will be the moment when Yan Laoxi, the old mastermind, will really end up fighting with the principal.

"I don't want to think so much about it, it's the right thing to actively prepare for the war, it's not impossible not to participate in this incident, just enough to make a fortune."

Zhao Ming shook his head, temporarily dismissing these distracting thoughts.

He is very clear about his position, in this war, even if he has two complete divisions, his strength is dispensable in this war.

How can he control a war in which more than one million troops participated.

The only thing he can do is to preserve his strength, take advantage of this battle as much as possible, and when this battle is settled, he will strive to become the hegemon of one side.

And the Central Plains War is this big test, the first big test since his rebirth.

If you can occupy the two provinces after this battle, it will be considered an excellent assessment, and if you can only completely occupy Chahar, you can only be regarded as barely qualified.

If nothing changes, it means that nothing is done, and that is a failure.

"Expand the army! We have to expand the army! In addition to two cavalry divisions, an infantry division must also be formed as soon as possible. ”

Zhao Ming kept chattering, if outsiders heard it, they would definitely think he was crazy.

The entire site was less than 100,000 people, and the total number of available people in the camp was less than 40,000.

Once it is expanded to three divisions, it is equivalent to all the people are soldiers.

There is indeed no shortage of money now, but now there is a real shortage of people and horses.

It can be said that the current undertaking of the military affairs of one division has greatly delayed the construction work of several camps.

After the formation of the second division, it was necessary to select soldiers from the prisoner of war camps.

"Call Ah Fu over!" Zhao Ming pushed open the door and the guard gave an order.

There are things he has to ask and say clearly.

"Uncle, you called me?" About a quarter of an hour later, Ah Fu ran in a little out of breath, and it could be seen that he was running in a hurry, and he was sweating finely.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming didn't care about so much, and asked straight to the point, "Regarding the population statistics in the camp, you have been in charge of this matter recently, right?" How's the stats going? ”
