Chapter 148: Cai Ye leaves
The difference between a girl and a woman is like the difference between an unripe green peach and a ripe peach. Tuoba Huiji, who has just been watered by love, has an amazing charm on her. The madness of the first night made her a little unbearable now. When Feng Yong entered, she was still resting.
"Are you feeling better?" Feng Yong walked into the bedroom with the pastries carefully prepared in the kitchen.
"En~!" Tuoba Huiji said meekly.
"Have a good rest for a few days! Leave the affairs of the Mansfield Chamber of Commerce to others for a few days! Feng Yong sat at the head of the bed and stretched out his hand to comb Tuoba Huiji's somewhat messy hair.
Tuoba Huiji instinctively dodged, she hadn't yet adapted to Feng Yong's intimate movements. Looking at the blush that appeared on Tuoba Huiji's face. Feng Yong couldn't help but feel funny.
"Ahh Tuoba Huiji screamed, her big black and white eyes glaring at Feng Yong fiercely. "You...... You ......"
"Hey, hey! I couldn't hold back for a while! Feng Yong pulled out the thief's hand that was stretched into the quilt without embarrassment.
"Last night, there was a goblin dressed violently, taking advantage of the drunkenness of this young marshal, he got into the arms of this young marshal and tempted this young marshal, how could the interval be so short, and he completely changed! I can't figure it out! Can't figure it out! Feng Yong grinned and laughed.
"You ......" Tuoba Huiji shyly got into the quilt. caused Feng Yong to burst into laughter. This girl was also shy when she didn't see anyone.
"Young Master, Dean Li Jun is here!" The butler prayed in the courtyard.
"Got it! I'll be right away! Feng Yong said loudly. Then he said to Tuoba Huiji, who was nested in the quilt.
"Rest well! I'll come back in the evening! Feng Yong made a pun, then turned around and left the room. Feng Yong walked for a long time before Tuoba Huiji showed her head from the quilt, with a happy look on her face.
"Brother Chuanxin, how is it? How's the work of the Mukden Provincial Government? ”
"Now that everything is running well, with the police force taking over the security of the whole province, and the strength of the army has been withdrawn from the whole province, I believe that it will not be long before the fourth and sixth brigades can complete the assembly." Li Jun said a little tiredly.
"Thank you for your hard work, now the stall of the Fengtian Provincial Government has just been rolled out, and you need to spend more energy. When everything is on track, you can rest and rest! Feng Yong said comfortingly. At the same time, I am also glad that I have such a good partner, otherwise I will have to deal with all this mess, and I still have time to fall in love.
"Yes! I came this time to receive news from my second brother, and he decided to leave for Shuzhong tomorrow. After all, he is the overseer of Sichuan Province, and he is busy with official business, so it is good to be able to stay in the northeast for a few days. By the way, did the eldest brother agree to stay? I need a helping hand right now! The work of the government is simply too busy. We still lack capable talents! Li Jun said with some curiosity. Li Jun supported Feng Yong's recruitment of Jiang Baili at a great cost, after all, Jiang Baili was his idol, and Mr. Baili's military theoretical literacy was indeed admirable.
"Not yet. The eldest brother has been wandering around with the second brother for the past few days, and I don't know what he thinks now. Big brother is not an ordinary person! It seems that this small temple in our northeast still can't accommodate his great god! Feng Yong said a little depressed. For a military wizard like Jiang Baili, Feng Yong absolutely wanted to envelop him into the Northeast Security Army system. However, people didn't mention this stubble at all, so Feng Yong slowly calmed down from expectation to subdue Jiang Baili's thoughts.
"Who said I was against it!" Jiang Baili's joking voice came from outside the house, and Jiang Baili and Cai Ye, who were dressed in casual clothes, walked in from outside the house.
"Fourth brother, I'm here to congratulate you! The eldest brother has promised to stay in the northeast to help you. Cai Ye said with a smile.
"Really?" Feng Yong was very excited, you know, this is Jiang Fangzhen, Jiang Baili! The most famous military theorist in the history of the Republic of China. Now he even agreed to his invitation and became his partner.
"Of course! Big brother is a man of his word! It seems that this time I am destined not to invite him, the great god, back to Sichuan! Cai Yi pretended to be helpless and shook his head and said.
Feng Yong was overjoyed when he saw Jiang Baili nodding. However, Jiang Baili's matter can wait and talk, after all, he agreed to stay in the Northeast and have enough time to communicate in the future.
"Second brother, I heard that the third brother said that you want to leave?" Feng Yong said to Cai Yi. In front of people, Feng Yong basically calls Li Jun 'new brother', only in front of sworn brothers like Jiang Baili and Cai Yi, Feng Yong will call Li Jun's third brother, this title, Feng Yong is awkward, Li Jun is even more awkward. After all, although the two are the closest partners, they can't always run away from the status of one master and one slave, and suddenly the two worship each other, and the relationship is flattened, which makes Li Jun's position embarrassing.
But everyone is not an ordinary person, and they get used to it after a while.
"Yes, I'm going to leave for Sichuan tomorrow. Fourth brother, your Northeast Security Army is really good, even stronger than our Southwest New Army. But I'm still puzzled by the political commissar system you have implemented, won't the two-officer system make it inconvenient for the team to command? Moreover, most of your political commissars are not very militarily capable, and if the political commissar holds the command, I am afraid that the fate of the entire army will be in danger. Cai Ye told the doubts in his heart.
"Huh! Second brother, what is the current situation of the Republic of China? Feng Yong replied to the question.
Cai Ye was stunned and fell silent.
"Although the government of the Republic of China has achieved national unification, the territory controlled by the central government is limited, and the local overseers control the real power of the local military and government, and become the de facto rulers of the Republic of China. The central government's decrees could not be unified, and the ideal of a national republic could not be realized. Moreover, now that the internal division of the Beiyang Army is a foregone conclusion, whether the weakened Beiyang Military Government will be able to control national sovereignty for a long time, and whether the local powerful factions will covet state authority in order to increase their strength. It is foreseeable that in the near future, the Republic of China may fall into a warlord melee. The reason for the emergence of the warlord melee should have been thought about compared to the second brother! I think it's because the power of the commanders in the army is so huge that once the first generation of leaders dies, the generals who originally had heavy armies will go their own way and become new warlords, fighting endlessly for their own interests. The second brother has soldiers and food, and the internal system is also self-contained, and the government of the Republic of China cannot interfere in the military and political affairs of the southwest region at all, and in essence, the second brother is also a warlord. If the second brother suddenly gives up the military power now, will the generals who control the army under your command still unite together and jointly run the Great Southwest? I'm afraid you can't guarantee it! The best outcome for them is to divide the territory you have conquered, and then inherit a piece of it, if you meet ambitions, the alliance of the southwestern provinces will collapse in an instant, and the newly formed small warlords will start a life-and-death battle for strength and territory, and finally form a more powerful warlord in the turmoil. And at that time, the southwestern provinces may have also been destroyed. This is the breeding of absolute rights and absolutes. And this situation is most controlled in my security corps, the military commander only needs to think about the affairs of the army fighting, and the political and life affairs are managed by the political commissar, so that the military commander must have the assistance of the political commander if he wants to completely control the troops, and the political commander must need the leadership of the military commander if he wants the troops to win the battle. The two sets of military and political systems can also be regarded as eliminating the generation of some privileges. Feng Yong said with a smile.
Cai Yi nodded, not knowing whether to agree with Feng Yong's explanation of the political commissar system, or to agree with Feng Yong's statement that the southwestern provinces would fall into a warlord melee without him.
"But fourth brother, as an elder brother, I will say a few words from my heart, although the Northeast Security Army is strong, it is based on the absolute worship of the soldiers for you. This kind of worship is the same as the Japanese spirit of bushido, like a kind of spiritual hypnosis, which can be transformed into powerful combat power if used well, and bad things will happen if it is not used well. Cai Ye seemed to want to say something, but in the end he chose to express it euphemistically.
"Second brother is afraid that I will become a character like Yuan Shikai!" Feng Yong said with a smile.
Cai Yi nodded, Jiang Baili and Li Jun were staring at Feng Yong, Feng Yong's mind was not sure of them, and they hoped to understand some of Feng Shaoshuai's heart this time.
"It is undeniable that President Yuan Da is a strong man, and he did a lot of good things for the benefit of the country and the people in the early days of the Republic of China, but now the whole society's criticism of him is one-sided. Everyone only saw the ugly drama of him being emperor and betraying the country. These are the one-sided statements of those political parties who are not willing to lose. President Yuan is also a nationalist at heart. It's just that his background determines that his thinking can't keep up with the development of this era, and the ups and downs of officialdom in the Manchu government for decades have polished his edges and corners. A military strongman like Yuan Shikai is indeed extremely weak in his political policy. If China has a military strongman who is dedicated to the country and whose political methods are equally tough, China will certainly be able to get out of the current predicament as quickly as possible. The general pattern that has not changed for a hundred years. Feng Yong said that his eyes lit up a little when he was excited.
"A military strongman who rules the country?" Cai Yi gasped, although Feng Yong did not clearly state his ambitions, but from these words, it can be roughly heard that Feng Yong wants to be the military strongman who leads the rise of the Chinese nation. Although Young Marshal Feng has shown unprecedented ability in the Northeast, can he really grow to the point of controlling the entire country? Cai Ye didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, it was too dangerous to hand over the hope of the rise of an ancient country that had been inherited for thousands of years to a young man who was less than twenty years old. The country is not a gamble, and it is not a place where you can start again if you lose.
"Hehe, second brother, I will set up a banquet for you to practice, thank you for coming to the Northeast to support us! He also sent me a military genius like my eldest brother. You and I are both the leaders of the army, although the northeast and southwest are thousands of miles apart, but no one can say whether they will meet together in the future, our brothers might as well make a bet here: if the brothers really have the day to realize their ideals, and are dedicated to this country, the second brother will take the power in his hands to fully support the brothers. Sacrifice for the sake of the country. On the contrary, if the second brother ascends to that position, so will the brother! Feng Yong said with a firm expression.
"Second brother, I won't say anything about your ideals! But since you have this self-confidence, of course the second brother agrees to make this bet with you. If there really is a day when you lose your heart for the country, I, Cai Yi, will definitely be the first person to come out against you! Cai Ye said equally seriously.
"Haha! Okay, you and I high-five! Feng Yong and Cai Yi were arrogant, and under the witness of Jiang Baili and Li Jun, they high-fived three times and made this oath.
"Since the second brother is going back, the brother can't help but prepare something! It just so happened that the brother's arsenal had renovated a batch of firearms, and there were still some arms left in the arsenal, which happened to be given to the second brother as a greeting gift. ”
"You're welcome, brother! Your security corps is also just developing, and it is not well equipped. Forget about the meeting gift, you and my brother, you can't take advantage of it when you are a brother. Cai Ye shirked.
The last time I inspected the Fourth Brigade, the soldiers of the Fourth Brigade basically used Hanyang-made, although the southwest is not rich, but it is very close to the Hanyang-made Arsenal, although Hanyang-made is very expensive, but as long as there is money, it is relatively easy to get. In his mind, Feng Yong also gave him some Hanyang-made, or Japanese rifles. To be honest, Cai Ye doesn't look down on Japan's Type 30 rifle at all, the Type 38 rifle is not bad, and I'm afraid that the Dongbei Security Army itself is not equipped much.
In fact, this is Cai Yi's misunderstanding, in order to unify the weapon model, the Japanese-made rifles in the entire fourth brigade have all been replaced with 7.62 mm Hanyang-made rifles, and the sixth, seventh, and eighth brigades that were established later are all Japanese-made 38-type rifles produced by the Woniushan Arsenal in Yishui, except for artillery and other heavy weapons that are weaker than the Japanese army, they are not much different from the Japanese army in other aspects.
As for the more backward Type 30 rifles, most of them have been replaced and transformed into similar Type 38 rifles by the Woniushan Arsenal, although they are not as good as the Type 38 rifles produced by the official production line, but the combat effect is also better than that of Type 30 rifles. At the very least, the problem of poor sealing has been solved.
When the list of Feng Yong's gifts was delivered to Cai Yi's hands, Cai Yi's face really changed. But I was pleasantly surprised.
"10,000 Type 30 rifles, 500,000 rounds of 6.5mm ammunition!" Cai Ye has also seen the Type 30 modified rifle, and at first glance he thought it was a Type 38 rifle! And although the combat effect is not as good as the Type 38 rifle, in terms of quality, it also catches up with the Hanyang-made production produced by the Hanyang Arsenal. Although such a rifle is not as good as the brand-new Type 38 rifle, it is also a relatively advanced weapon in the southwest of Yundao.
Feng Yong's meeting gift did not contain heavy weapons, and the Public Security Corps itself also lacked heavy weapons, so of course he was not able to support Cai Yi. Feng Yong would not do the thing of slapping a swollen face and filling a fat man. Now the imitation of the artillery has been completed, the production line has been designed, and the Jilin Machinery Bureau has begun production. Because it is an imitation artillery production line, there is not much originality in China. In order to get these military equipment as soon as possible, Feng Yong decisively ordered the Ministry of Industry to place orders in the United States through American businessmen. After all, Feng Yong's task of producing 100 Zhonghua 16 rifle production lines occupied almost the entire equipment of the Machinery Bureau, and the artillery production line could not be produced in a short period of time.
Cai Ye went back to take the waterway this time, which was an American merchant ship, which departed directly from Port Arthur, went by sea, went to Shanghai, entered the Yangtze River, and then went up the river to Chongqing and then changed trains. Feng Yong sent a squad of guards to protect his safety.
