Volume 3: Who is in charge? Chapter 124: "I am a soldier, not involved in politics!" Fang Jianxiong replied, and Xu Shichang thought to himself after hearing this, it seems that I am anxious. Just when he was feeling a little regretful, Sun Baoqi interrupted.

He then said: "To peacefully resolve the reunification issue between the North and the South, it is necessary to readjust all aspects."

Sun Baoqi's words reminded Xu Shichang in time that with Sun Baoqi's relationship, he could not lose. However, thinking from Xu Shichang's heart, he still hoped to attract Fang Jianxiong's attention. Only when Fang Jianxiong relied on him would the future be successful.

It is possible to sit high and securely.

At this time, Yin Weijun came in and reported: "The Haichen has been prepared. Captain Lin Yongmo has sent someone to ask for instructions. When will we board the ship?"

Fang Jianxiong stood up with a smile and said to Xu Shichang with a smile: "Uncle Shi, I am going to Jinan. The teacher will be fully responsible for negotiating the matters here. My meaning is very clear. If the war continues, the country and the country will be hurt.

The vitality of the nation. President Yuan Da can adapt to the trend of the times and resolve disputes peacefully. I hope to see the results of the negotiations within a week at the latest."

The meaning of this statement has changed a bit. The implication is that we can talk if we can, but if we can't, we can continue fighting. Moreover, we have given a deadline.

Fang Jianxiong left just like that. He was not as enthusiastic about the peace signal shown by Beiyang as Xu Shichang had hoped. So why did he still come in person? Xu Shichang judged that the only possible explanations were probably two reasons. One.

The reporter, Fang Jianxiong, was interested in the cabinet ministers of the former Qing Dynasty and wanted to see what they were like. The two of them probably wanted to see what Xu Shichang's true purpose was and were prepared for a delaying strategy.

Lin Yongmo was originally the leader of the Haichen. During the Jiujiang Uprising, the Manchu leader left, and Lin took over the post of leader. Later he was changed to captain, and after joining the National Defense Force, Lin Yongmo finally saw the hope of the navy.

At the beginning, the navy was not particularly optimistic about Marshal Fang. Even if he was young and could fight again, how could he compare with the man who occupied the interim president's throne in Nanjing. So most of the ships went to Nanjing.

And followed Lan Tianwei to Yantai, but the Northern Expeditionary Army suffered a defeat in the Jiaodong Peninsula. When they returned to Nanjing, the Haichi did not even have a few main artillery shells. In the end, the main artillery shells were replenished by the National Defense Force, and they didn't even ask for a tael of silver.

The navy goes out.

Lin Yongmo was also not optimistic about Marshal Fang for a time. As the current situation developed, the mentality of most people in the Navy gradually changed. Especially when Tang Hualong told everyone in private that after Marshal Fang took over the Feihong, the Navy

His mind was moved. When the case of Surabaya Port happened, the navy launched an attack on Nanyang, using naval guns to

When they bombarded the natives, they let out a strong breath of bad breath that they had been holding back since the Sino-Japanese War. Interestingly, the British Far East Fleet did not appear at that time. If the British Far East Fleet appeared, the consequences would be disastrous. But that is all after the fact.

It was something I was thinking about, and I went to Nanyang with all my heart.

After returning to Nanjing for temporary government after the Northern Expedition, the navy could not even pay the salary, let alone other services. After arriving in the National Defense Force, the salary was immediately improved. Marshal Fang was the only big shot willing to take over the "Phenom". Lin Yongmo also heard from Tang Hualong in private

Tell him that Marshal Fang ordered new warships from the Americans. Although the warships of this era were made by the British and Germans, the ones made by the Americans were worse. At any rate, new warships were needed.

Since the Revolution of 1911, the revolutionary enthusiasm has gradually faded away. The life instructors stationed on various naval ships have been instilling in the soldiers a concept of national interests and national interests. Lin Yongmo is the captain. Naturally, it is not easy to listen, so he secretly

Listening to the young life instructors talking to the soldiers. Words such as "national rejuvenation" and "defending the country" are often mentioned by those life instructors. And the commander-in-chief said... It is said that these life instructors are all

The readers selected from the army are sent to the cadre training class in Anqing for training, and then assigned to the army. The daily military affairs and life guidance officers will never interfere. They only care about life matters. Whoever has difficulties at home,

They take care of things like who is unwell and whether the food is good or not.

Life instructors are very popular among soldiers. Their positions are generally not high, and they are all second lieutenants. When they come to the ship, their mantra is: they are here to serve the navy under the orders of the commander-in-chief. Of course, these people can also be regarded as the eyes and ears.

Lin Yongmo stood on the bridge, looking at the small boats approaching from the shore. It was the dry season, and the Haichen could only park in the middle of the river, otherwise it would run aground.

"Stand at attention! Salute!" Fang Jianxiong got on the deck, and Lin Yongmo shouted powerfully.

Fang Jianxiong was still wearing an ordinary military uniform and did not have any military rank. After raising his hand in return, he smiled and said: "Captain Lin, thank you for your hard work!"

"It's not hard work. I'm here to escort the commander to his cabin." Lin Yongmo led the way. After arriving at the place, Fang Jianxiong suddenly asked: "I heard from Mr. Zheng Quan, are you fellows from Fujian?"

Lin Yongmo didn't know what he meant and subconsciously replied: "Yes, I am from Fujian." Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "Liu Guanxiong, the navy chief in Beijing, is also a fellow from Fujian?"

Lin Yongmo felt a little chilled when he heard this. The Fujianese are the largest faction in the navy. After Liu Guanxiong became the chief of the navy, he indeed sent people to contact the navy of the National Defense Force and promised many benefits. Some people did move to a group of Fujian officers.

You are worried. Could it be that if the news leaks out, Marshal Fang wants to clean up the Fujian Gang?

"Yes, General Manager Liu is indeed a fellow from Fujian." Gritting his teeth, Lin Yongmo could only reply like this. Since Fang Jianxiong had asked, he had already grasped the situation. When he was feeling anxious, wondering whether his future and destiny would change because of this, Fang Jianxiong

He laughed and said: "Liu Guanxiong is a talented person. I heard that during the Sino-Japanese War of 1898, he suggested that Jingyuan Guan Ye Zugui hang up the command flag at the critical moment, and this stabilized the war situation?"

"That's right, how did the commander know about this?" Lin Yongmo didn't expect Fang Jianxiong to mention this, so he didn't feel so nervous. Fang Jianxiong stretched out his hand to hold the railing, looked at the Yangtze River and said with emotion: "The Sino-Japanese War of Sino-Japanese War, not only did everyone in the navy

The pain is also an unhealable scar in the heart of every patriot. The Chinese Navy can only find the dignity it lost on the deep blue sea, and there is no other way!"

"What does the commander-in-chief mean?" Lin Yongmo's heart beat violently. Fang Jianxiong's words contained too strong a hint.

"Yes, you guessed it right. From a geopolitical perspective, a war between China and Japan is inevitable. Unfortunately, if a war breaks out between China and Japan in the next ten years, it will be difficult for the navy to become the protagonist. The main battlefield is destined to be

On mainland China.”

Lin Yongmo showed a disappointed expression. He wanted to speak but held it back. Fang Jianxiong smiled when he saw him like this: "Don't worry, the navy will not stand idly by. Japan is an island country. Without the transportation line on the sea, the strength of this country will be reduced by at least half.

In the next ten years, once a war breaks out between China and Japan, the navy's main task will be to conduct sneak attacks and break diplomatic relations. As for the future, I assure you that the Chinese navy will definitely become a world naval power. China's navy will definitely move towards the deep blue."

Without living in this era, it is difficult to understand the sorrow and sorrow of this generation of national elites about the future and destiny of the country. It is also difficult to understand that since the late Qing Dynasty, generations of national elites have devoted themselves to industry to strengthen the country, or

Run around and cry out to wake up the people, or put on your bravery and sacrifice yourself for the sake of republic.

After hearing what Fang Jianxiong said, Lin Yongmo couldn't calm down. Avenging the Sino-Japanese War is the dream of every navy man. What does the commander want to imply through these words? Lin Yongmo feels that it is still necessary to let Liu Guanxiong in Beijing know today.

dialogue. The situation in Beiyang is over, and Liu Guanxiong has no future under Yuan Shikai.

……………………

Xuzhou, after experiencing a war, this city is somewhat scarred. After the war, order in Jinan was restored quickly, and the strict military discipline of the National Defense Forces quickly came into play in Jinan. Several wars since 1911 have accumulated enough resources for the National Defense Forces

Experience, what measures need to be taken after capturing a big city, what things should be prevented from happening, etc., all have relevant regulations.

The original plan was for Fang Jianxiong to go straight to Jinan. On the way, he learned that a large number of wounded were being treated in the field hospital in Xuzhou. Fang Jianxiong's special train made an impromptu decision and stopped in Xuzhou.

The person responsible for guarding Xuzhou was Lin Huaichuan, commander of the Fifth Division. During the Shandong battle, Lin Huaichuan was unable to follow him. In the end, he stayed to guard Xuzhou and temporarily served as Xuzhou's garrison commander.

When he learned that Fang Jianxiong's special train was temporarily stopping at Xuzhou Station, Lin Huaichuan happened to be inspecting the preparation work at the station. Although Fang Jianxiong's special train was heading north, even though it only passed through Xuzhou, Lin Huaichuan did not dare to be careless. You must know that in the National Defense Force, Fang Jianxiong's low position is irreplaceable and has become a

He is the only leader in the minds of most generals in the army. Fang Jianxiong's safety is related to everyone's future and destiny, so on the way north, wherever the train goes, there is tight security. There is a German-made armored train clearing the way in front, and there are more behind.

An armored train broke off and pushed behind the formation.

In Xuzhou, according to Lin Huaichuan's own words, everything must be done to be absolutely foolproof.

Fang Jianxiong didn't like this way of welcoming people and sending them off, but he didn't say anything. At least there's no point in talking about it now. These are troubled times, and God knows how many people want Fang Jianxiong's life.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!" Faced with Lin Huaichuan's salute, Fang Jianxiong was very polite after returning the salute. People are different, Leng Yu, Hu Yan and others, Fang Jianxiong is fine with scolding or even kicking him casually. An old-school person like Lin Huaichuan

, is not suitable for this.

"It's not hard, sir, please get in the car!"

He got into a black Ford and headed straight to the Xuzhou National Defense Forces Field Hospital. Fang Jianxiong invested a lot of financial resources in this mobile hospital. It is equipped with complete vehicles and equipment. The medical staff are based at Wuhu Medical University and are usually stationed in Yi.

Jishan Hospital moved forward with the army during the war.

The worst thing when a soldier goes to the battlefield is not to die in battle, but to die right then and there, and to die from injuries and illnesses. That is the worst thing. Ever since he donated funds to establish Wuhu Medical College, Fang Jianxiong has been working hard to improve the military medical system.

Make preparations. There are also six pharmaceutical factories in Wuhu, all of which are also in the hands of the Fang family. (To be continued.
