Zhang Kuian was appointed by Wang Maoru to go to Chengde Mansion, the capital of Rehe Province, to meet Jiang Guidi, the commander of the Yi Army and the commander of Rehe, Jiang Guidi listened to Zhang Kuian's words, and sneered Wang Maoru is really a person who is not in a hurry to move, since you want to reconcile, then we will also give you face, so let Mi Zhenbiao stop the eastward action first, and see how the Northeast Frontier Army can solve it.

Wang Maoru told Zhang Kuian about the stakes, but he still asked him to provoke the relationship between Jiang Guidi and Zhang Zuolin, and at the same time didn't want to be paid. Zhang Kuian made a difficulty, Xiushuai, you really move your mouth, but I have to break my leg, and I am afraid of angering Jiang Guidi and being beheaded. So Zhang Kuian said to Jiang Gui that if you really do it, Zhang Zuolin will immediately turn his face in the name of the Northeast Frontier Army Town** and eliminate the Yi Army, so that he will not be able to find any truth, and he will also occupy the territory of Rehe.

Jiang Guidi and the old brothers looked at each other, laughed loudly, and said, "How could Zhang Yuting do such a thing of killing chickens and taking eggs, if he sneaks up on us, won't he ruin his reputation?" ”

Zhang Kuian sneered: "Marching and fighting is not a matter of worshipping the son of a hero in the green forest and preaching righteousness, you can't help but take state affairs too seriously." ”

"It's not your turn to teach a junior a lesson." Chang Desheng said angrily, "Go back, let Wang Xiaozi and Meng Enyuan prepare one and a half million yuan to pay out, otherwise he should go back to Heilongjiang and Jilin, occupy the rich land of Fengtian Province, but he doesn't pluck a single hair like an iron rooster, is it still decent?" Do you still look at us old Beiyang old-timers in your eyes? ”

The task was too difficult, Zhang Kuian had no choice but to retreat and was driven away by the Yi army. Later, Zhang Kuian replied to Wang Maoru Yijun's idea at the Chengde Telegraph Office, and was beaten by several Yijun soldiers after leaving the Telegraph Office. Wang Maoru, who knew the front and back, was so angry that he threw the telegram and said: "Jiang Gui, this old horseman! Damn it! Damn it! The Yi army is destined to be annihilated. He also said to Ma Liang: "Order Li Pinxian's first division to arrive in Tongliao County, Horqin Prefecture, and telegraph to the king of Horqin, asking him to send troops to unite and defeat Jiang Guidi's Yi army." ”

"Yes." Adjutant Ma Liang said.

Li Pinxian's division of the 1st Division of the Northeast Frontier Army stationed in Harbin immediately moved south, and the whole army was mobilized. When the First Division was stationed in Harbin, some officers were rewarded for their meritorious service in battle. Went to the old hairy woman. The old hairy woman is white and has a good figure, big milk and big buttocks, and she is simply a fairy-like character in the eyes of the Chinese people. It's really something I never dreamed of marrying. When the other officers and soldiers saw this, they all hoped to make meritorious contributions and get ahead immediately, so when the first division sent troops to advance, they all took the lead bravely, and even quarreled with the commanders of the various regiments under the current forward battalion. The morale-boosting 1st Division moved south. It only took three days to arrive in Liaoning Province, and it really didn't stop for a moment.

Naturally, the actions of the army could not be concealed from the intelligence officers of various forces, and the Japanese consul of Harbin, Ryuichi Kada, got the news as soon as possible and sent it to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army. Yujiro Nakamura, Governor of the Kanto Prefecture, Masataro Fukuda, Chief of Staff, Nosumu Doi, Seitaro Suzuki, and Kuniaaki Koiso hurriedly analyzed, and according to the intelligence analysis gathered by spies in the Northeast, Wang Maoru was ready to mobilize men and horses to eliminate Jiang Guiji's Yi army.

"So we're going to be at this time. Fight for some benefits. Kuniaki Koiso said after analyzing.

Yujiro Nakamura said, "What is the opinion of your staff?" ”

Fukuda Yataro said: "The opinion of the General Staff is that the opinion of the General Staff is that it supports Wang Maoru, and the information revealed by the people who have been bribed by me and us within China is that the government of Northeast China is preparing to build two railways, one is the railway line from Uriya Sutai to Kulen and then to Manchuria. The other is the railway from Shenyang to Baicheng to Hailar, with a total length of 1,600 kilometers, and if we can win the right to build these two railways, then we will not hesitate to earn hundreds of millions of yen for the great Japanese empire. ”

A few people got excited, and it would be great if that was the case. The wealth of China. It is indeed a unique condition that the Japanese do not have. According to intelligence analysis, the income of the four provinces of Heiji, Liaoning, and Mongolia, where Wang Maoru was located last year, reached 30 million yen last year, while the annual income of the Japanese government was only 80 million yuan, and half of the 80 million yuan had to be used to pay off debts, and the other half was used to pay various expenses. Although the Kwantung Army wanted to fight, the Japanese government repeatedly demanded that the Kwantung Army not do it, not because it had no money.

But if these two railways are really built by Japan, then Japan may make a lot of money, at least these two railways can pay off all the national debts.

"Let Yada Nanataro (Japan's consul in Shenyang) tell Wang Maoru that Japan's full support will be given to him in capturing Rehe, but we hope to build the Hamakishi Line Railway and the Hamaka Line Railway." Yujiro Nakamura smirked.

"But Your Excellency, they have no intention of building these two railways." Doi said.

Fukuda Yataro said: "They really don't mean this, we are transferring, the Hamakishi Line and the Hamaka Line are a disguise, what we really want to win is the big railway, the big railway." ”

"I see, it's really a brilliant plan, admire, admire." Doi praised him.

After chatting about business, a few people found Kabuki, and while drinking, they got up as prostitutes, and had a good time. The day itself is like this, when he is on business, he is serious, and when he is entertained, all beings are equal, regardless of the image. Even the 50-year-old Mataro Fukuda held the courtesan up and down, reached into the singer's coat and played with it, and shouted, "My Kazuko-sama has a pair of firm breasts...... Room...... Would you like to take a look? ”

After Gao Jian'ou recovered from his illness, all the members of the task force returned to Harbin safely, and Gao Jian'ou was immediately proud of his responsibilities and was appointed as the director of the newly established Military Statistics Department.

The Military Statistics Office is subordinate to the General Staff and is responsible for collecting intelligence information, because the intelligence department of the General Security Department has not communicated with the General Staff Headquarters, and some things cannot be transmitted in a timely manner, which has aroused the dissatisfaction of all the staff officers of the General Staff. The staff officers' analysis is based on intelligence, not only front-line combat intelligence, but also various enemy intelligence during non-combat periods. The intelligence department of the General Security Department did not communicate in a timely manner, which made the General Staff very annoyed but helpless. So at the request of the General Staff. Wang Maoru specially set up the Military Statistics Department, or Military Command for short, as the intelligence organ of the General Staff Office, which was responsible for collecting intelligence and information on various hostile military forces. With such an important position, Wang Maoru naturally would not hand it over to anyone lightly, and Gao Jianou was trusted by Wang Maoru after the test of life and death, so he took up the post of director of the military command. He was also promoted to colonel in the ranks. It is only one level away from the general.

The Intelligence Division of the General Security Department was renamed the Central Intelligence Division, referred to as the Central Intelligence Division, and the Director of the Central Intelligence Division was Li Muyu. Responsible for domestic security. The former Translation and Telecommunications Department of the General Security Department was renamed the Secret Telecommunications Division, which was responsible for transmitting confidential information. Luo Hao, the former director of intelligence, no longer holds the post of director of intelligence alone, but is in charge of the work of the Central Intelligence Division, the Secret Telecommunications Division, and the Security Division.

After adjusting the four general and adding a few departments. After quelling the controversy between all parties and finally balancing all parties, the CIA under the General Security Department set up special forces to select talents throughout the army, which also greatly strengthened the power of the General Security Department.

Subsequently, Wang Maoru convened a military planning meeting, which was presided over by He Rufei, minister of general military affairs, and attended by almost all division commanders or representatives. At the meeting, Jiang Fangzhen, chief of the General Staff, first formulated the all-army combat strategy for 1918, that is, this year, the most important of which was to send troops to Europe, and the initial plan was that the Fourth Division would take the lead in sending troops to Europe as the main force in the European war, and the Seventh Division would be the follower. Before the end of the year, the Sixth Division was transferred back from Mongolia, and the Twelfth Division was formed and went to Mongolia. The "Chinese" participating army composed of six divisions.

It's just that as soon as this plan was proposed, it was first resisted by all the officers of the General Logistics Department, and Zhao Jiacheng shook his head and said: "Three divisions will send troops to Europe, and the cost will be more than 10 million." We all understand the meaning of Xiushuai, but if you don't know the price of firewood and rice, how to prepare for the armament to participate in the European war? How is military pay calculated? What about supplies when they arrive in Europe? Xu Youqian, the director of the material department in charge of supplies, said: "Our army is underarmed. Especially the shortage of bullets, now the Mongolian battlefield, Liaobei, Liaodong, and the four provinces have exhausted the ammunition stock. Xiushuai advocates self-production and self-use of bullets, but our country is a country that lacks copper, do you know that from next year, half of the bullets of our soldiers are alloys of copper and iron? ”

Wang Maoru also heard about it for the first time, let alone others, everyone's eyes widened and said, "Alloy? What is it? ”

Xu Youqian said: "One of our military scholars proposed a helpless move to meet the supply of bullets for 250,000 troops, and China has little copper, in addition to importing bullets from Japan, we also carry out research to replace bullet warheads made of copper. After all, Hailar's copper mines don't produce much copper. After some hard research, everyone thinks that other materials do not have the stability and lethality of copper, and one of our military scholars suddenly thought, why not use several metals to fuse to make it. So this alloy warhead was produced, which is composed of copper, iron and lead, which is more lethal, especially after the lead enters the human body, causing the warhead to roll, and the lead is toxic and causes permanent damage. This alloy warhead has strong lethality, high stability, and is not easy to rust. ”

Wang Mao Ruxin said that it was also traversal, and even the alloy slug could be made.

Gong Xiaoqi sighed with emotion: "Isn't this invincible." ”

Xu Youqian said: "But the shortcomings of the alloy warhead are also obvious, first of all, the killing distance is short, only 400 meters, while the killing distance of the bullet made of pure copper reaches 2,000 meters to 1,700 meters, and this kind of warhead only has an effective killing distance of 400 meters." Secondly, the weight of the bullet warhead has increased, and the number that the fighters can carry is less. This kind of warhead has now been produced and distributed, and today it is officially announced to all generals that they should pay attention to changing their combat habits. ”

The generals talked a lot, after all, it is not easy to change the habits of fighting, but the armament is like this, the Northeast Frontier Army is generally quite good, at least light weapons can achieve self-sufficiency, do not need to be subject to the face of the great powers, in countries where light weapons wars are frequent, this advantage is extremely obvious.

Wang Maoru held the alloy slug provided by Xu Youqian in his hand, the warhead was smeared with gun oil, emitting a pungent smell of metal, and stared at it for a while: "Is there not enough copper in copper minerals?" ”

Xu Youqian said: "It's true, the warhead can be made of alloy, but the bullet case cannot, and if other metals are replaced, it is not as riveting as copper." Bullet casings made of other metals are five times more likely to explode than copper casings. ”

"You are an expert in the military industry, you have the final say, this bullet is good, and it is worth promoting." Wang Maoru praised: "What is the name of that military expert? ”

"Zhou Jingtian."

"Good name, Zhou Jingtian!" Wang Maoru wrote down this person in his heart, is it a cross-traveler? It's actually possible to build an alloy slug.

The central government of the CPC Central Committee funded the military expenses for the trip to Europe, and the government borrowed 30 million yen from the Bank of Japan in the name of the forest resources of Shandong and Zhili as the military pay funds for the six divisions to go to Europe.
