"As for artillery and other technical arms!" Chen Jingyun was silent again.

The Nationalist Army was expanded from the Tenth Town, and the foundation of the technical surname was also the Tenth Town, but the Tenth Town had an artillery battalion at best, and other baggage, engineering teams, and horse teams were not at all a climate, and when the uprising came, Chen Jingyun directly changed the engineering battalion into an infantry regiment. Later, when the brigades were reorganized, although there were also auxiliary units such as baggage and engineering, due to the lack of relevant technical officers, these units were basically in vain. The slightly better artillery battalion was split into three companies by Chen Jingyun, but it managed to keep its foundation and trained a lot of artillery in a few months, so that only artillery could be used when the First Artillery Regiment was formed into an army. However, because there were too few qualified artillerymen and officers, the Second Artillery Regiment could not find any surplus qualified artillerymen and officers after the arrival of the artillery, and had to be trained by transferring personnel from the First Artillery Regiment. In this way, the already scarce artillery resources will be reduced.

The training of this technical class is not much easier, if not more difficult, than the training of officers.

Therefore, for Junichiro Yamamoto's proposal that he come directly to the training, Chen Jingyun could only accept it in his heart, just to prevent him from stumbling, Chen Jingyun kept an eye on it: "The establishment of the guard brigade is the establishment of two regiments, and the number of your consultant team is not large, so I will send some people to you as deputies!" ”

Junichiro Yamamoto listened to Chen Jingyun's handling of these two major issues, and his face was not surprised or happy. In fact, he didn't have a good impression of Chen Jingyun, nor did he have any dislike.

He and more than 50 other active duty officers came to Fujian to work as advisers after retiring from active duty, just because the military headquarters gave them direct orders.

As a professional soldier, Junichiro Yamamoto is concerned about diplomacy and the international situation, but he is only a big leader, and he lacks sufficient understanding of international diplomatic issues; if the military department had not learned that he had lived in China with his father when he was a child, was proficient in Chinese, and served in the Kwantung Prefecture garrison many times after joining the army, the War Department would not have let him lead such a huge advisory group of dozens of people to Fuzhou.

In his opinion, even if he wants to intervene in China's civil war, then it is best to choose the northeast, use the geographical advantage to support, and then slowly take the northeast. Otherwise, they simply supported Yuan Shikai and offered economic or military aid in exchange for Yuan Shikai's cession of Manchuria or Mongolia in Northeast China.

As for this Fujian, Junichiro Yamamoto thinks that it is completely unnecessary.

But he is just a big leader, and he can't affect the choice of the upper echelons of the empire at all, since the War Department sent himself to Fujian to spy on the intelligence of southern China and at the same time train himself to strengthen the strength of the national army, Junichiro Yamamoto can only do it. After all, the empire has made a choice, and it has also provided Chen Jingyun with a loan of up to 15 million yuan, and paying such a big price is not for nothing, but in the hope that Chen Jingyun can develop and grow, and then affect the situation in China, thus causing the division of the actual surname.

On the other hand, only when the pressure from the south on Yuan Shikai is great, then he can get more benefits from Yuan Shikai.

Of course, if it is not a coincidence that Chen Jingyun can really defeat Yuan Shikai with the limited support of Yue himself, and even control the Chinese regime, then it is not that he can expect it, no matter if it really comes to that time, he will definitely choose to support another faction against Chen Jingyun.

In short, any of China's various forces is dominant, and it is not what Yu Ben wants to see.

Based on this consideration, after Junichiro Yamamoto came to Fujian, except for a considerable number of people who went to Fuzhou Military Academy to serve as instructors, the rest of the people were also busy, and a considerable number of them were sent to various departments of the Nationalist Army as advisers, while Junichiro Yamamoto and five or six others stayed in Fuzhou to serve as Chen Jingyun's personal advisers. After researching the Guard Brigade and the Fourth Brigade in Fuzhou during this time, Junichiro Yamamoto believed that the combat effectiveness of the Nationalist Army was vain, and the quality of soldiers and officers was extremely poor. The report to China even pointed out that the War Department only needed to send a wing to sweep through Fujian.

Although this remark is somewhat self-confident and boastful, it also shows the poor quality of the national army from another aspect. Of course, Junichiro Yamamoto thinks that China's strongest army, Beiyang, is not enough, as long as the Kwantung Prefecture garrison sends a brigade to the south, it will not take a month to reach Yanjing.

The above is just the habit of looking down on the middle [***] team, but on the other hand, he is still very pragmatic to say: if the national army wants to deal with the Beiyang Army, according to the current army quality, it must have two to three times the strength and firepower advantage in order to defeat the Beiyang Army in an offensive battle.

The quality of the national army is so poor, which also makes Yue himself a little worried, and they also expect Chen Jingyun's national army to be able to create pressure on Beiyang, if this can't be fought, it won't work, so they sent a telegram to Junichiro Yamamoto to help train the national army to be able to resist Beiyang.

As for the other governors in the south, he originally said that he also planned to make contact, but at present, among the southern provinces, the only provinces that are really capable of commanding the whole province are Fujian and Yunnan provinces, and Yunnan is the territory of the French.

In addition, there are Nanjing and Wuchang, Wuchang said that he is not optimistic, thinking that Wuchang may be taken by Beiyang at any time, and Wuchang is located on the front line, it is not easy to develop, if you really want to support Li Yuanhong, it will take a lot of energy and time.

As for the more important Nanjing, I am still waiting!

Although Huang Xing's Northern Expeditionary Army was powerful, Huang Xing himself did not have a good impression of Sun Wen's book, and tried to negotiate many times to no avail. On the other hand, Huang Xing is now in control of Nanjing, holding military power and great prestige at the same time, if this side continues to support the provision of military funds and ordnance, it is very likely that it will be out of control, if it really makes a powerful Northern Expeditionary Army go north, and clean up Beiyang, it is not what I want to see.

According to his current view, that is, Huang Xing and Yuan Shikai in Nanjing are now forming a strong situation, and rashly strengthening one of them is likely to lead to the corruption of the situation; more importantly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs believes that the situation in Nanjing is unstable, and it will not be able to maintain political power for a long time, and investment will easily be wasted. At this time, if Chen Jingyun is supported, there will not be so many problems, firstly, Chen Jingyun lacks enough prestige, and it is impossible to unify China with the help of his limited loans, and secondly, it can also strengthen the empire's control over the situation, and after the fall of Nanjing, there is also a Chen Jingyun who will continue to fight against Beiyang.

In this case, Junichiro Yamamoto has this proposal today.

In many cases, the relationship between countries is extremely complicated, and now I am very optimistic about Chen Jingyun, but if Chen Jingyun really expands and wins several provinces in a row, and has the strength to unify China while fighting Beiyang, then the object of my support is not Chen Jingyun but Beiyang.

There is Chen Jingyun in the south, and he himself has not relaxed, and has actively contacted several powerful figures in the three northeastern provinces, preparing to support one or more of them to become pro-' forces. In the foreseeable future, the support of this book in the Northeast will be much greater.

In accordance with Junichiro Yamamoto's proposal, the Yamamoto side once again sent a team of more than 30 advisers to serve as instructors at the Fuzhou Military Academy and training instructors for the Guard Brigade.

The next time, Chen Jingyun took Feng Qin and other senior officers from the headquarters to inspect the garrison of the guard brigade, and he was accompanied by Junichiro Yamamoto and several other advisers.

"Cheng Kun, how is the state of the troops now?" After Chen Jingyun arrived at the station, the first thing he said was to ask Lin Chengkun.

As early as the evening, Lin Chengkun received a notice from the Governor's Secretariat, saying that the Governor was coming to inspect the Guard Brigade, and that night Lin Chengkun ordered all the officers of the Guard Brigade to pay attention, and he was waiting for Chen Jingyun and others early the next morning.

At this time, Lin Chengkun stood up and said: "Report to the governor, my guard brigade is fully manned, training hard all night, and can serve the governor at any time!" ”

"Well, that's good! There is no problem after the troop is redressed! In the past, when the Guard Brigade was only a guard regiment, it was equipped with a 30-year-old rifle, and later after the second batch of German firearms arrived, Chen Jingyun expanded the Guard Regiment into a Guard Brigade at the same time, and collected the original guns, and then uniformly reloaded the Type 88 rifles.

As a result, the six main brigades and guard brigades of the National Army were all reequipped with Type 88 and Hanyang-made, which greatly simplified the problem of ammunition logistics supply.

Lin Chengkun said: "No problem, it has been a while since the troops changed to new guns, and they have all adapted to it!" ”

"That's good!" Chen Jingyun has always been very concerned about the guard brigade, and the reason is simple, because this guard brigade is his life-saving force, including Lin Chengkun, the middle and senior officers of the guard brigade are all Chen Jingyun's nepotism, and one of the regiment commanders is Chen Jingyun's cousin who temporarily joined the army, this person's name is Yu Ruofei, a nephew of Chen Yu's family, twenty-six years old, although he has also stayed abroad, but he is not a military student, military knowledge is still hurriedly supplemented this month, and the other battalion commanders are basically related to each other. There is a lot of flavor of the Hunan army in it. However, Chen Jingyun also understands that it is unreliable to rely on them for combat training, and the combat effectiveness of the troops must also rely on those professional officers.

Chen Jingyun's abacus is to rely on relatives and friends to control the loyalty of the troops, and then assign these relatives and friends to the deputy posts of professional officers, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops.

As for the real effect, Chen Jingyun doesn't know, and he has to let the actual combat in the future be witnessed.
