Several department directors and deans are waiting here, Yuan Shikai is also very satisfied with the arrangement of the Northwest, in the simple introduction of the hospital arrangement, began to understand the Northwest Hospital, the more I knew, the more shocked, asked himself Yuan Shikai, who still knows a little about medical treatment, never thought that the hospital is also divided into so many different types and disciplines, and many of the previous terminal diseases have the possibility of being solved, so far, Yuan Shikai's mentality has finally changed from dull to interested.

There is a disease on his body, Yuan Shikai knows, but the relationship between the position, he has always been secret, originally only slightly uncomfortable, but gradually, this discomfort is getting more and more serious, and even to a certain extent, it has affected normal sleep and life, I thought that forbearance would pass, but I didn't expect to go to the northwest, but there was an unexpected discovery, such a big hospital, just looking at the endless flow of personnel, I know that there must be an effect, maybe, you can solve the problem once and for all.

The introduction lasted about 20 minutes, Yuan Shikai naturally had someone in charge, from the initial inspection to more in-depth monitoring, Yang Yuanzhao knew some, Yuan Shikai's illness was also roughly known, and even someone had been sent to make appropriate arrangements, as long as Yuan Shikai went to check, there should not be many problems.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at the time, it was already time for the meeting to start, and asked the Northwest General Hospital to do a good job of receiving Yuan Shikai, and then leave after confessing to Yuan Shikai.

The officers who followed Yuan Shikai to Baotou last night, these who were able to leave their names in the history books, cannot be said to be all good names. As a soldier and Beiyang, he left a name in history. It's all good for sure.

Swap for before, the Northwest is unlikely to get them. Even if everyone rebelled and left, Beiyang still maintained the name Beiyang, that is, after the struggle for power and profit between his own family members and the formation of a de facto warlord, he could be regarded as tearing his face and began to clash head-on.

The current Beiyang has not yet betrayed his relatives after Yuan Shikai became emperor, and those who can come to Baotou with Yuan Shikai are all ironcores, when Yuan Shikai was resigned. is willing to talk to the northwest about the affairs of Beiyang, and it also has a potential meaning, that is, to arrange a way out for them. With this as a premise, the opportunity is not small, and it depends on how the northwest operates.

The reason why Yang Yuanzhao is so interested in Beiyang officers is that the Northwest Military Academy has been established for so long and has trained a large number of qualified soldiers, but these have no names in history, and few of them have crossed the threshold of the regimental level. At present, there are almost 60 divisions, and there are only 7 division commanders who are not celebrities in later generations. Maybe it's accident, maybe it's inevitable.

Flipping through the list of soldiers, I saw a lot of familiar names. These young figures, after having a formal education, quickly showed their talents. Let Yang Yuanzhao understand that history carries inertia and inevitability. Compared with the Northwest, from the Beiyang Army. From the Beiyang Military Academy, there are more generals who have come out, almost since 1911, the mainstream for more than ten years, and even some of them will also play a role in the future War of Resistance against Japan, such a treasure trove of talents, no one will choose to give up.

Becoming a king and defeating a courtier, once a son of heaven and a courtier, this sentence is true, the rulers in Chinese history also do it according to this, the bird is full of the bow and the words of the bow, the sorrows and joys are vividly expressed, but for Yang Yuanzhao, modern warfare, as long as the logistics are controlled, plus some necessary control, for example, disperse them, so that they do not serve as higher-level officers in the early stage, such as below the regimental level, at most those who are the best, can be arranged into the division level, With more than 3,000 people in one regiment in the northwest and about 30,000 people in the other, in terms of the elite level of the Northwest Army, they should be satisfied, provided that they see the strength of these armies.

In the future, China is huge and powerful, and the northwest also has a sufficient foundation, and there is no fear of any turmoil caused by these Beiyang officers, and even for these officers, the most lacking problem of fighting a war is not lacking at all, and the future northwest will not lack a war at all, and it is impossible to fight at home, and the entire East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even going abroad and going to other continents must use the fight to break the monopoly of the white race, so it is necessary to beat and subdue the other party.

In Yang Yuanzhao's view, these officers who should become generals on the battlefield cannot contribute to China because of differences in factions or ideas, which is a sorrow that belongs to China. The rise of any country will inevitably lead to World War I, and the two great powers of the United States and the Soviet Union in later generations were all fought in the Second World War, and if China wants to rise, there will inevitably be a large-scale war.

The Northwest, under the influence of Yang Yuanzhao, has actually intervened in this war. Although it is said that they have not yet participated in the war, but among the two camps, the northwest has no choice, and the natural differences between the yellow race and the white race, the natural difference between the two races has caused irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides, and perhaps they can be combined in a short period of time, and they will inevitably part ways in the future.

The Soviet Union is a clear example, in World War II, in order to deal with the invincible, powerful Germany, Britain and the United States pulled the Soviet Union into the world anti-fascist camp, but after that, the two camps began to split, if it were not for the strong bearing capacity of the Soviet Union, it would have been played after World War II, the confrontation between the two sides intensified, the Cold War between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, to put it bluntly, the United States entangled a series of countries in the West, and the confrontation with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union did not even have a helper except for itself, and some were just dragged down and centrifuged from Germany. The collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 90s also declared the victory of one side, and the United States became the only pole and the only superpower in the world.

China's position, similar to the Soviet Union, now the great powers still have a huge sphere of influence and interests in China, once the northwest unifies China, it is almost inevitable to confront the powers, in this case, to choose, and only choose a weaker alliance, otherwise, without China's support, Germany will immediately finish, Britain, France and the United States without a huge trauma, turn around, join forces against China, this is what the northwest does not want to see, the northwest has a huge army and a strong air force, However, such an independent war against the world is very detrimental to China's development, and at least it will waste precious development time.

With Yang Yuanzhao's status, it is impossible to recruit these officers in person, but there is also a special arrangement for these Beiyang officers, so that the Northwest officers can take the Beiyang officer corps to visit the live-fire exercise of a group army of the Northwest Army. The entire exercise lasted for three days, and all light and heavy weapons except airplanes and armored vehicles were used, basically representing the strongest attack force in the northwest.

The army responsible for participating in the review is the ace army in the northwest, and it is also the 3rd Army that will be equipped with armored vehicles, tanks, armored trucks and the like for the first time after the arrival of the future war......

The Third Army was born from the third division in the early days of the independence of the northwest, the commander is the famous Shanxi Wang Yan Xishan, this class was born, the mind is flexible, the same is in the annals of later generations, left a strong posthumous stroke, his personal strength is quite strong, with the support of the northwest, this army, whether it is soldiers, or weapons and equipment, are complete, he is very ambitious He also started his military career.

The most rigorous training. The title of the Iron Army has been hung under Yan Xishan's name since the era of the Third Division, half of the Northwest Army, the number of bullets trained by qualified soldiers per year is about 3,500-5,000 rounds, and the Third Army has reached an average of 7,000 rounds, and the proportion and quality of special shooters are among the top in the entire Northwest Army.

Of course, the Iron Army can not only have marksmen, but also attaches great importance to technical equipment, the popularity of the personnel and technical equipment of the reconnaissance regiment, the will to fight and the type of tactical training, are all crowned with the northwest, if it is not for the name of the first army is too big, the title of the first strong army will be crowned on his head, and the third army will be sent to fight, and it is really to show the strongest strength, so that the officers of Beiyang are completely desperate, and then consider the problem of recruitment.

Yan Xishan couldn't get the opportunity to go to Shandong to fight, so he made a lot of efforts, put it on this exercise, carefully planned, and even used some real effort in some places, responsible for visiting the Beiyang Officer Corps, and returned to the hotel three days later, Sanjie and the other Beiyang Army officers all stopped talking, a group army in the northwest is still a first-class group army, about 105,000 people, plus 130,000 logistics, it seems that the number of people is equivalent to 6 towns.

Quantity is always the combat effectiveness of the army, before watching the exercise, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and others, all think that even if the Northwest Army is strong, more than 50% of the force can always be dealt with, at most a little more, Beiyang may not be the opponent of the Northwest, but maintain a certain proportion of the number and combat effectiveness, with the development of the German fleet, that is, the Northwest wants to go to the Beiyang, it needs to pay a huge price, this loss, will even affect the Northwest for China, and even endanger its own stability.

This kind of idea is very marketable, and even after Yuan Shikai decided, Feng Guozhang still thought so, after a real exercise, they found out that they were sitting in a well and watching the sky, not to mention anything else, even if there is only such a group army in the northwest, it is enough for Beiyang to eat a pot, one-on-one, one-to-two are not opponents at all, as for more, no one thinks so much, maybe with all their strength, Beiyang can deal with the third army, but next, there are only two armies, which is enough for Beiyang to eat a pot, What's more, the three armies are not the end of the northwest, and the northwest can easily mobilize millions, or even millions, of troops.
