On May 1, 1918, the land of war in various parts of China, which had been stagnant for half a year, showed a touch of joy. The green wheat seedlings growing in the fields show the harvest of the coming year, and the old farmers sitting on the edge of the fields are chatting about the new things they heard in the "chatterbox" last night.

Between the fields, walking is a "walk-behind tractor" called the "Iron Ox", and as soon as it moves, it suddenly roars with sky-shaking prices. This is no longer news, and in the eyes of the old farmers, it is not something too new.

After all, a village only needs a few of these toys, and it doesn't take as much labor to plow, sow seeds, harvest and threshing. Along with this "iron bull" came a complete set of agricultural machinery.

In addition, what pleased the peasants the most was the abolition of taxes in kind and all other taxes in Shandong Province, including the surrounding areas controlled by the "Chinese National Defense Forces." Although the farmers are still familiar with the new tax law, their income has increased a lot.

Since the farm work is lighter, the young men and girls in the village can't stay at home. When I heard that there were important people from the factories in the city, at first one or two went to the city, and now the whole village and the whole village of young people are running to the city. For this reason, the landlord had to reduce the rent and tax, and no one could be found willing to farm.

The two old men don't smoke dry tobacco now, and now they smoke the cigars that the children brought back from the city = one = book ~ read = and have the taste of dry tobacco. Although the results of the agrarian reform are not yet very significant in the rural areas, a large number of young people who have gone to the cities have begun to bring money back to their families.

In the city, there are now technical schools run by workers who have worked abroad, and even rural children who have not read much can read and write in them, plus learn some trades. Or simply go to the factory as an apprentice and learn directly from the master.

All of these changes came from the opening of a large number of companies in the city, especially those that were organized by the Japanese machinery purchased at a small price. Both installation and production are very fast.

A large number of newly opened enterprises, including steel mills, automobile factories, aircraft factories, airship factories, and mechanical processing industries that have been under construction since August last year, have all increased Shandong's tax revenue several times in less than a year.

But this is not the matter of the two old men today, if you get close and listen carefully, you will hear them sitting on the hoe handle, chatting hotly, talking about Taiwan and the Ryukyus.

"If you want to talk about these years, the little Japan of the dog day has bullied people, we have such a big country in China, but we can't beat others, I will find it, there must be something wrong with this, otherwise I can let those little dog days bully for so many years?"

Another old man took a puff of a cigar and took a long breath without spitting it out for a long time. Although it is the children's mind, it can't be absorbed all at once, so you have to spend money to buy it.

It took him a long time to exhale a puff of green smoke that had faded in color.

"Who said no, if you want me to say that we are still in power in the Tang Dynasty, we will beat the Japanese out first, and the Beiyang Army will be driven away in two days. The take-out is connected to Taiwan and the Ryukyus, and it has also been taken back, you can talk about it, how happy it must be! ”

The other nodded: "You know, the last time I went to Japan, my kid went, and the good guy fought and beat little Japan to the point that it was all untenable, and these little Japan really ran into a bad god!" Listen to my kid say, Tang Zhizhi asked the Japanese to arrest all the guys who came to us to do evil, and killed all of them at the bottom of Laoshan Mountain, killing more than 30,000 people at one time. But it's not good to be ruthless against little Japan, I think Lafayette will be too soft against the Japanese, if something is wrong, thousands of shots, it is estimated that little Japan will not dare to come to us to spread wild! ”

"I don't care how many people Tang is going to kill, I just say, we have never had such a comfortable life in our lives, and I just hope that this Tang will become the emperor one day, so that our people can have a few more good days!"

The other old man had finished smoking his cigar, twisted the cigarette butt out on the soil, and put it back in his pocket. It's not that his children are not filial, it's not that the children didn't find jobs in the city, it's a pity that they threw it away, and they can smoke it again when they go back and put it in the cigarette pouch they didn't throw away.

While doing these things, he responded: "No, you know that my kid has become a soldier, not just a few months ago, this is about to be a non-commissioned officer, go to Guangzhou for training, I heard that after training, I can become an officer in the future." Alas, now these boys, one by one, run far! ”

From the conversation between the two old men, it is not difficult to hear that they are satisfied with the current changes in Shandong. Transportation, industry, and other facilities were all catalyzed by the wealth of the Chinese Renaissance Party itself, as well as the wealth of the industrial regions of Calcutta and Kyushu in Japan.

As for the development of cities, transportation, and industry, from the end of 1916 to the time of the landing in Shandong in 1917, it was natural that scholars studying abroad would discuss and plan together. Therefore, Shandong's development was not only orderly, but also laid the foundation for a nationwide war of liberation in the future.

To the relief of the Chinese, the Japanese officers who had come to China and those things that had done bad things in China were all betrayed by their emperor without hesitation because of the safety of the country.

Tang Yunyang didn't intend to be polite to these guys, and pulled all the more than 1,000 people who committed the most heinous crimes to the bottom of Laoshan Mountain, swept them with a machine gun, and shot them all, and the remaining 36,000 people were still 30 years of hard labor. Although some people think that it is ruthless, but in general, the people of Shandong are relieved, and his goal of Tang Yunyang has been achieved.

From their words, we can also hear the things that make the Chinese people most happy and the leaders of various local forces and certain political parties the most uncomfortable. That is, with the smooth progress of Tang Shaoyi's negotiations in Tokyo, Japan, Taiwan and Ryukyu had officially returned to the Chinese on May 1, 1918, and the officials sent from Shandong were currently receiving them.

The agreement stipulated that Japan would not only give up the islands completely, but also pay a certain amount of money each year for them. When this news came to the people of Taiwan and the Ryukyus, the people were not only happy, but they also had a faint trace of worry.

The reason for the concern cannot but be said to be a shame for China's administrative officials. Once upon a time, when Taiwan was still in China's hands, the dark rule of officials and the "confused" management of not defending the truth made the lives of the people of Taiwan quite bad. After the Japanese took over the management, although the oppression of the Chinese was more brutal, the efficiency and relative integrity of their management were beyond doubt.

The return to China is certainly gratifying, but if it returns to the hands of a bunch of dirty and corrupt officials, it is better to be independent. However, the people of Taiwan were soon reassured. Those who came to Taiwan were scholars who had studied in Europe and the United States for many years, and the management methods used were urban autonomy, except for a copy of the Chinese Code.

It was not until the court and city council were established that the people of Taiwan could relax and happily celebrate the joy of returning to the motherland. After all, compared with the people in China, the people in Taiwan at this time were exposed to more political ideas, so it was easier to implement these things in Taiwan than in China.

With the achievements of these two things, the Chinese Renaissance Party and the Chinese National Defense Force will naturally rise to a new level in the minds of the Chinese. At this time, although they have not yet reached the city of Beijing, in the hearts of the Chinese people, such a party and such a leader are naturally the best, but they must not be changed.

"Let's watch the first release together, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to a group: 35761481; Mailbox:.

Just when the people of Shandong were full of hope and looking forward to a better life, the troops of the Chinese National Defense Force began to quietly assemble near Shandong.

As mentioned earlier, Japan, which will deliver the final blow to the Beiyang warlords, is not far off. It is expected that before August, the first batch of non-commissioned officers trained in Huangpu will be able to be added to the army and replace the current non-commissioned officer class.

As for the current non-commissioned officers, they will be sent to the close Whampoa officers for training, and they will be accompanied by up to 7,000 soldiers who can be qualified for the promotion of non-commissioned officers, who will be trained and studied at the non-commissioned officer school and then returned to the troops.

During this period, the "Chinese National Defense Force" was expanded to 2 tank divisions, 2 heavy divisions, 4 light infantry divisions, 2 marine divisions and 2 air assault divisions without difficulty. At the same time, many veterans of the old unit who had participated in World War I and had very rich experience in actual combat were appointed as junior officers, and at the same time, the arrival of more non-commissioned officers of the Whampoa Noncommissioned Officer School also further enhanced the combat capability of the new unit.

These units, in addition to the Marine Corps and the Air Assault Division as reserves, the rest of the units were organized into two corps. They consisted of one tank division, one heavy division, and two lightly armed divisions, and now each corps began to train separately and prepare for the battle in the North Valve.

But before that, to the dismay of the veterans, they were going to change their outfits. The accustomed M-1 Eagle short assault rifle and Stern assault rifles, including sniper rifles, were to be replaced by new weapon systems.

They were a little reluctant to use these weapons, after all, they were much easier to use than the weapons equipped by other countries in the world at that time.

So what is the new system of small arms that will be unveiled soon? We'll talk about that later
