Chapter 56 The German guest arrives late at night
Chapter 56 German distinguished guests arrive late at night
Although Fang Jianxiong admired Fang Jianxiong, he didn't know that Fang Jianxiong's mentality among the three people present was also full of admiration. As people who grew up in this era, Jiang, Cai, and Zhang have seen too many things in their life experiences.
The sorrow of the times. Many times, these three people are helpless when it comes to the people and things they face, and each chooses a different path.
Cai E chose to lead troops in Yunnan, while Jiang Fangzhen and Zhang Xiaohuai could not tolerate the officialdom of the late Qing Dynasty and left for Germany. All three were great talents, but they did not have the ability to subvert the times. Fang Jianxiong may not be as good as these three in terms of true talent and learning.
But the vision beyond the times is that he was able to put down his body, wait for the most suitable opportunity in Wuhu, and finally soar into the sky.
In the eyes of the three of them, Fang Jianxiong is full of mystery and legend. During the conversation, he often points out some roads through the fog for the three of them. Facts have proved that Fang Jianxiong's views are correct and transcend the times. In
Under the leadership of Fang Jianxiong, the National Defense Force has developed rapidly. In more than ten years, it started with more than a hundred instructors in Wuhu and now has a million-strong army. The three of them know how difficult it is, and they are even more impressed by this achievement.
Compared with Yuan Shikai's military training at the small station, he gathered the strength of the whole country, and in the ten years of the late Qing Dynasty, he could only defeat the soldiers of six towns in Beiyang. Fang Jianxiong simply created a miracle, and it is a miracle that cannot be copied.
Therefore, every time Fang Jianxiong puts forward some new ideas for building an army, these three people will attach great importance to them. There are many people with lofty ideals in this era who do not care about personal gains and losses and are dedicated to serving the country. In history, warlord separatism was not broken because of the revolution.
Is it because the old order was replaced but a stable new order was not established in time?
Four of the most outstanding military strategists of this era gathered together to talk about the future of army building. Time passed quickly with your words and mine. In this process, Fang Jianxiong acted like a stenographer. He constantly used words to convey everyone
The remarks were recorded. What’s interesting is that the actions of the other three opposing committee chairmen did not mean to steal business, but faced it calmly.
When it comes to big shots, these three are not uncommon, but Fang Jianxiong, a big shot who has treated them as friends and confidants from the beginning, is really the first one. When it was dark, the conversation was interrupted by Chen Guofu who knocked on the door and came in.
"Commander Leng, Lanzhou, urgent call." "Read it!"
"Sword out of the sheath!" The call came with these four words. Fang Jianxiong waved his hand to signal Chen Guofu to go out. Then he said to the three of them: "Leng Zhiqiu has taken action. According to the reported plan, one mountain brigade and one cavalry division, the strength of
It should be enough."
"The civil strife in Russia has led to a lot of chaos in Central Asia right now. There are countless armed forces under various banners, and there are countless mountains. It is not difficult to capture Andijan, but it is not easy to follow up." Jiang Fangzhen stroked his chin, thought, and sent troops.
He has no objection to Andijan. Russia has never given up on subverting China's Xinjiang. This time the National Defense Forces took the initiative to attack, but it is the inevitable result of the change in the balance of power. Blocking Andijan will be beneficial to the stability of Xinjiang in the future.
"The railway from Dihua to Kashgar has been opened to traffic. We might as well mobilize two engineering divisions to build the road! We must deploy sufficient troops and reserve sufficient supplies in Andiyan before winter comes." Zhang Xiaohuai analyzed calmly.
Cai E thought about this matter for a while and then said: "It is safe to walk on two legs. While building roads, the transportation of materials cannot be interrupted. Andiyan's defenses are also being built quickly. Russia is currently at war with Poland. For a while and a half
It will not take care of Central Asia."
Fang Jianxiong thought for a while and said with a smile: "Should we contact Poland and support them with some arms? I estimate that Poland will be able to survive until the end of the year. When our assistance arrives, the war should be carried out in Poland."
"Piłsudski in Poland really had no self-awareness and went thousands of kilometers deep into Russia. How could a country that had just gained independence ensure logistical supplies? This is a typical arrogance. On the other hand, once the Polish army returned to the country, the Soviet army advanced
Poland, just the opposite." Fang Jianxiong added that these three people had no room for doubt about Fang's war prediction. The Battle of Siberia has fully proved this point. The 500,000 Soviet troops were so aggressive that they were defeated.
The bombing and harsh natural conditions caused it to collapse without much fighting.
"History is full of examples of battles that collapsed due to problems with logistical supply lines. I think we will open special courses at the Army Universities in Wuhu and Baoding in the future. Let those guys realize from the beginning that logistics is the lifeblood of war.
"The founding of Baoding Army University was advocated by Jiang Fangzhen, so he has always attached great importance to this issue of military education. Fang Jianxiong is the president of both Wuhu Continental University and Baoding Continental University, and he doesn't even go to class. He only goes there during the New Year and holidays.
Take a look.
The knock on the door rang again, and it was Alice who came in. She said with a smile: "My lords, it's time for dinner."
It was already late at night, and the train slowly entered the station. Bob, dressed in casual clothes, stood in front of the window, looking at the lights on the deserted platform. This was Bob's first time in Beijing, and it was also a trip full of unknowns.
itinerary.
"Bob, don't be so sentimental. The boss is nostalgic. I don't think he will forget our friendship back then. Otherwise, he won't help Germany." Biel was very excited and walked up to Bob and winked.
I hope it can make him happy. "Bill, do you think there is still a possibility of cooperation between China and Germany?" Bob frowned and asked.
"Aren't you cooperating now? Bob, you don't understand the boss. I can be sure that as long as Germany still has things that the boss needs, he will not mind cooperating with Germany. Do you know why I work so hard to attract German companies to come to China?
Because the boss needs it, it’s as simple as that. Maybe the boss will not form an alliance with Germany, but the boss will not refuse private and secret cooperation. If Germany wants to revive, it must seize every opportunity." Biel put away his smiling expression and said
An attitude of having a long way to go.
The train stabilized, and Bob got off first, followed by Pierre. When an officer on the platform saw them getting off, he immediately strode forward and said, "General Bob and Mr. Pierre?" The light was not very good.
The officer also looked at the photo in his hand to make sure. Bob strode forward and said, "It's us."
"Wang Geng, Major Staff Officer of the Marshal's Attendant's Office, has met these two distinguished guests." Wang Geng stepped forward to salute, and Bob subconsciously returned the salute. After an interpreter translated Wang Geng's words into German, the expressions of the two German visitors relaxed.
one time.
"Please follow me, you two, the car is over there." Wang Geng said and led the way. Bob raised his hand and called out, "Wait a minute, I have some companions." He turned around and waved, and was getting off the train.
There were twenty or thirty Germans, ranging in age from thirty to forty. These Germans habitually lined up in two rows, and under the guidance of a German's slogan, they came to the front in an orderly manner.
"General, we're all here." Although he was wearing civilian clothes, the German still saluted the military salute. Bob returned the salute and said: "Have a moment, please wait a moment." After saying that, he looked back at Wang Geng, and his meaning was very clear.
Wang Geng smiled and said: "General Bob, the truck is ready, let's come together." The group followed Wang Geng out of the station, and in a dark corner, they heard four trucks and two cars. An officer led
Two guards came forward to greet them. Both Bob and Pierre knew that the guard colonel named Qi was the most trusted officer around the boss.
Qi Erzhu smiled at the two German guests, his smoke-yellow teeth revealed by the street lights. Qi Erzhu turned around and made a gesture, the door of a car opened, Fang Jianxiong got out of the car, and opened his arms with a smile.
"Bob, Pierre, my brother, I have been waiting here for a long time." It was very standard German. Looking at Fang's sincere smile, Bob and Pierre couldn't help but feel slightly moved on their faces.
After disembarking from Tianjin, Bob and his party had not seen anyone from the Chinese government or military. The person responsible for the reception was someone from the German Chamber of Commerce. They originally thought that this trip to China was destined to be difficult, but they did not expect that at one o'clock in the morning, they met
Here comes Fang Jianxiong who is waiting here. Brother, a long-lost title!
During the warm hug, Fang Jianxiong seemed very excited and kept patting Bob and Pierre on the back.
"Brothers who have endured all the calamities are here, and we can forget all the grudges with a smile when we meet." Fang Jianxiong was very emotional. The translator was dumbfounded and didn't know how to translate it. However, after Fang Jianxiong came to his senses, he smiled and said in German: "After experiencing all kinds of calamities, brothers
We are still here. What do the past grudges and grudges mean? Just let them pass with a smile."
As he spoke, Fang Jianxiong's eyes turned red, and the two German guys opposite could not suppress their inner turmoil. Biel covered his face and turned his head, squatting on the ground and crying bitterly. Bob lowered his head and cried silently.
"Okay, don't act like a girl. Get up, follow me, and have a good drink." Fang Jianxiong wiped the corners of his eyes, smiled, hugged their shoulders, and got into the car together.
When the car arrived at the Marshal's Mansion, even though it was late at night, the lights were still bright. Fang Jianxiong led the two people out of the car into the backyard, but saw several women standing on the steps. This scene confused the two German brothers.
"Boss, what do you mean?" Pierre asked calmly, Fang Jianxiong smiled and said: "Nothing, they are all your sisters-in-law." While speaking, Qiu Ju took the lead, Dou Qingmei, Yin Ruizhi, Lu Bicheng, and Alice came up.
In front of him, he said a Chinese courtesy: "I have met my two uncles."
Bob, who refused to frown even when fighting on the battlefield, was at a loss at this moment, and Biel, the always shameless profiteer, didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Fang Jianxiong smiled in time and said: "Qiu Ju, is that what you mean?"
Qiu Ju smiled and said, "This is a woman's duty. Does the young master think it's inappropriate?"
