PS

Lu Bicheng witnessed Fang Jianxiong's generosity to his former rivals, and felt a little puzzled. There are so many people in the world, why use his former rivals? Fang Jianxiong's answer to this question is very simple. There are too many people and too many talents.

Few. According to the plan, a million-strong army will be trained within two years, but there are huge gaps in officers at all levels.

Is Duan Qirui a talent? This question does not require an answer.

When it comes to doing practical things, there is a certain gap between those who come from the Revolutionary Party and those who come from Beiyang. This has nothing to do with people's IQ. The former was only focused on overthrowing the old rule, while the latter is a leader and must deal with practical matters.

Things are much stronger in terms of experience. Generally speaking, more people in the Beiyang series can pick them up and use them.

The new Senate President is Zhang Sai. Although Fang Jianxiong doesn't like him, he doesn't deny it. In the final analysis, Zhang Sai's prestige and ability are there, and he is suitable to be the deputy chairman. Furthermore, Zhang Sai has a family and a career.

People like this often don’t want the country to be in turmoil. Such people are closer to power.

Zhang Sai's nomination for Speaker was Sun Baoqi, who was approved by more than half of the votes cast by the Senate. Looking at this country from the perspective of a military dictator, after experiencing a war, it is most urgent to restore stability as soon as possible. Time is running out, and Fang Jianxiong must rush to fight the First World War.

After the outbreak, Japan made all preparations for war with Japan before attacking Qingdao. Therefore, many things could only be put aside for now.

Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes! This sentence can only be deeply felt by sitting in a certain position.

Fang Jianxiong's inspection in Wuhu was still focused on the reorganization of the army. After the overnight change in Nanjing, most of the party members loyal to Sun were purged and kicked out of the army. Of course, there was no difficulty for them. Chen Qimei was a die-hard follower of Sun.

, he is currently being "taken care of" very well as his "minister" in Beijing.

In the name of an exclusive interview, Lu Bicheng followed Fang Jianxiong wherever he went. A meeting of all officers of the Nanjing garrison was being held, and Fang Jianxiong was speaking on the rostrum. Lu Bicheng sat three people away and listened to Fang Jianxiong's speech very carefully.

"As the old saying goes, when you are a soldier, you eat food and work for whom. The Manchu and the Qing Dynasties are like this, and the Beiyang is also like this. Such an army is essentially a mercenary army, and it can easily become the private army of ambitious individuals. The National Defense Forces must follow the essence of

How to distinguish it from the old army? First of all, we must establish the idea of ​​​​defending our country and defending our country. The common people are our

It is common for the old army to harm the people. The National Defense Force must not only resolutely prevent similar incidents from happening, but also protect every citizen. Only by doing this can they gain the support of the people and improve the social status of soldiers.

Never again will someone say that a good man should not be a soldier and a good man should not make nails. Secondly..."

Fang Jianxiong's voice is not very loud, but it is very penetrating and the rhythm is well controlled.

"Sima Qian once said that death is lighter than a feather, and death is heavier than Mount Tai. Dying for personal gain is lighter than a feather and will be infamous for thousands of years. Dying for the benefit of the country and the people is heavier than Mount Tai, and will go down in history. Protect the home and the country,

Just to protect Qianqian

Thousands of ordinary people, including your parents and brothers. Today’s country is poor and weak, and the people of our country are being bullied. It is when we need our soldiers to carve out a bloody path for national rejuvenation with iron and blood. We, our soldiers, should continue to strive for self-improvement.

….”

After speaking for half an hour, there was no speech transcript? Lu Bicheng narrowed his eyes as he listened. The young man on the rostrum, waving his fists and looking very imposing, seemed to be taller.

Fang Jianxiong, who was on the rostrum, was very happy when he was speaking. Fortunately, a certain boss in the unit was a Mao fan and actually organized everyone to study Mao Xuan. Many of the things in it can be used if you pick and choose.

Of course, Fang Jianxiong would not accept that theoretical system.

Victory after victory built Fang Jianxiong's reputation as an invincible fighter.

The officers in the audience, no matter how old they are, are still very convinced by the young military leader on the stage. Not to mention the young officers, who are about to become marquises and honor their ancestors. The man on the stage is a typical example.

Examples are the idols of learning.

"The National Defense Forces will hold high the banner of national independence and national rejuvenation, fight for the Chinese nation, and fight for the Republic. Only if we sacrifice can the country be stable, and only if we sacrifice can the people have a guarantee of happiness."

Fang Jianxiong's trip to Nanjing lasted a week, and his next stop was Ma'anshan, and then Wuhu. Duan Qirui, who accepted the commander-in-chief of the Lanzhou Military Region and led the northwest armies, was not in a hurry to return to take office. Instead, he asked to follow Fang Jianxiong.

Said, continue to inspect along the river. Duan Qirui's next very important purpose is to see what Fang Jianxiong has done in the south, and why he was able to defeat President Yuan Da in just a few years since training at the small station.

More than ten years of accumulation.

The car was driving on a flat road. There was no such road in the north. Sitting in the car, Lu Bicheng could hardly feel any bumps. It was a cement road from Nanjing to Wuhu, which was only built to the junction of Anhui in the past.

After the Revolution of 1911, the road construction project was quickly put on the agenda, and now the road selection has been completed for more than a month.

Less than 100 meters away from the highway is the construction site of the Wuning-Ningxia Railway. This road was fully started last year and was a broad-gauge railway designed and built by Americans. In China, everything is lacking, but there is no shortage of people. Americans only need to give

If you have enough wages, you won't have to worry about not being able to recruit people to work.

Fang Jianxiong did not ride in a car, but chose to ride a horse. Duan Qirui and others also rode together. There was only one car and three trucks in the whole caravan. The driver of the car was Shangguan Xue, and two people from the Yin family were sitting in the car.

There are two heroines and Lu Bicheng. The truck is in the back, containing a radio station that is always on and some staff and communications soldiers.

When he saw the towering chimneys at the far end, Lu Bicheng was startled and subconsciously poked his head out. Ma'anshan was originally part of Dangtu County. It became an independent city last year and was directly under the cabinet.

The Eighth Division of the National Defense Forces was responsible for the defense of Wuhu and Ma'anshan. The division commander Zhang Zhenwu was one of the founders of the Wuchang Uprising. After the decisive battle between the North and the South, Zhang Zhenwu led his troops to retreat. As the commander of the Eighth Division, he concurrently served as the commander of the Wuhu Garrison District, and Ma'anshan was also under its jurisdiction.

Region. After experiencing the years of being marginalized by the Wuchang military government, Zhang Zhenwu's personality has undergone considerable changes. Within the National Defense Forces, he appears to be quite low-key.

When Fang Jianxiong inspected Wuhu, Zhang Zhenwu led his troops to greet him at the provincial border, and the courtesy was in place.

"Brother Chunshan, please don't do this again. The impact of welcoming people with great fanfare is not good. What will the people think after seeing this? What is the difference between this and the previous Qing Dynasty?" After the meeting, Fang Jianxiong said something that made Zhang Zhenwu a little embarrassed. Fortunately, his voice was not loud,

There were only a few people nearby.

"Yes, please bear in mind your humble position!..." Zhang Zhenwu had a very good attitude, standing at attention and bowing his head.

Fang Jianxiong then smiled and said: "Let's go, don't block the road..." Continuing along the road, the Ma'anshan factory area gradually became clearer. Duan Qirui, who was riding side by side with Fang Jianxiong, looked very excited and asked: "Fu Guo,

What is the annual output of this steel plant?”

"The original designed annual output of the third phase of the project was 100,000 tons of steel. After the Americans invested, the third phase of the project was completed in five years, reaching an annual output of 1 million tons of steel. Now the first phase of the project has been completed, with an annual output of 100,000 tons of steel.

Fifty thousand tons, of which fifty thousand tons are special steel, which can be used to produce gun barrels."

Fang Jianxiong's introduction made Duan Qirui very excited. He looked at the rows of huge chimneys and murmured to himself: "Okay, okay. If I hadn't come to see it with my own eyes, I would never have thought that there was such a factory in China."

.Fuguo, I am convinced by you." After saying this, Duan Qirui couldn't help but raised his head and pointed at the thick smoke billowing in the distance: "The hidden dragon catches the spring rain and goes straight up to thousands of miles."

Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Works is Fang Jianxiong's proud work, and there is a lot of money. If you have never been involved in heavy industry, you can't imagine how much money is needed here. Facing the excited Duan Qirui, Fang Marshal pretended to be serious.

Said: "Children

It has been over-reputed, but after years of accumulation, we have finally seen results. The cornerstone of the future national defense industry requires generations of people to contribute. Some people say that I am traitorous, but if I don’t introduce foreign investment, how can I engage in heavy industry? The third phase of the Wuhu project is 100,000 yuan.

Ten thousand

tons, Chongqing Qijiang Iron and Steel Plant began to install equipment at the beginning of the year. It is expected that after the completion of the first phase of the project in two years, the annual output of 300,000 tons of steel will be achieved. That is the investment of the Germans. I also need to build railways, roads, and develop industry and commerce.

, Jianqiangbing, no

The investment of foreign capital, not to mention the foundation of heavy industry, the army-building plan of one million yuan alone... is enough for me to work for twenty years. Mr. Zhi, you understand the righteousness well, disregard the past grudges, and come back to work as a Beiyang figure.

You set an example, I’m very touched.”

The team entered the factory area, and Duan Qirui went straight to the steelmaking workshop. He watched a furnace of molten steel being poured into the mold, and the molten steel splashed, making him tremble slightly with excitement. Lu Bicheng, who was accompanying him, looked very calm, with slightly pursed lips and

Her passionate eyes betrayed her inner world.

What has this young man done? In the past few years, while he was showing off his talents, he worked hard silently in this corner of Jiangnan, accumulated a lot of experience, established industries, trained strong soldiers, and finally

Sitting on the throne of the best person in the world.

After staying in the saddle for a day, the team arrived at Wuhu the next day. What they saw was another scene where all industries were prosperous and the people were prosperous, with smooth roads and endless industrial zones as far as the eye could see. Fang Jianxiong rode his horse, and people along the way were busy.

The heroic figure of Fang Jianxiong, who stopped to cheer and waved frequently on horseback, was unknowingly deeply imprinted on Lu Bicheng's heart.

The group went to the Wuhu Arsenal first and inspected various production workshops. Seeing the guns and cannons continuously coming off the assembly line, the figure in Lu Bicheng's heart became clearer and clearer. In the afternoon, they went to the Army University for an inspection. Thousands of young faces lined up neatly and looked at the stage.

Fang Jianxiong, who was on top, shouted excitedly in unison: Protect the homeland and the country, and rejuvenate the nation. The national defense force is mighty, and the commander-in-chief is mighty!
Chapter completed!
