As soon as Yang Rui agreed to accept Russian military trainees and agreed to send the officer corps, when the next day was formally negotiated, he asked people to draw up two lists: one was the training list sent by Russia, which was densely packed with all branches of the military, and the number of people was about 200; The other is the category of officers that China wants to send, from the army to the air force, and the number of people is required to be no less than 100.

Pei Shoutong and Fan An came to meet Yang Rui that afternoon. The General Staff of the General Staff, who accepted the Russian military trainees, was very worried about the leakage of tactics, and the dispatch of the officer corps involved ideological problems, and the General Political Department was worried about what would happen to the officers sent if they believed in Marxism.

Both of them were worried about their own affairs, and Yang Rui saw that the head of the officer corps actually wrote Qi Qingyuan, and immediately asked in surprise: "Why did you send Qingyuan, isn't it Liezu's?" ”

"Sir, the other party is going to use the town and Qingyuan, and the Liezu side ......," Bei Shou said, "After all, he annihilated the Siberian Legion, and the Russians are not very comfortable with him." Yizhen often needs to show his face in the capital, and he is also familiar with the military attaches of various countries abroad, it is not appropriate for him to go, and if he thinks about it, there is only Qingyuan. ”

Bei Shoutong said, but Yang Rui didn't know what he was thinking in his heart, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, and he neither affirmed nor denied it. He looked at Fan An and asked: "If more than 100 people go to Russia, they will definitely be courted by the Russians, and everyone is a revolutionary party, and then there are ......" Yang Rui paused, because the Revival Army itself is a 'poor man's army', which has a natural affinity with the Red Army. He feared that as soon as these people were deceived, they would become Marxists.

"Can you tell me what measures the General Political Department has?" Yang Rui said.

"Ideological work can only be consolidated through ideological education. Before going abroad, everyone sent to Russia will have a certain ideological education. Judging from the previous summary, there are two main points of Max's thought that are the most inspiring: one is the unity of the world. The second is exploitation and surplus value. The former makes people abandon their national and racial views after listening to them, and dedicate everything to the so-called world harmony and be proud; The latter makes people listen to righteous indignation, thinking that the world is full of injustice, and they are the ones who are exploited. It is the old way of political work to preach injustice in order to provoke indignation and hatred, and to nurture hatred and then to provoke revolution. "Fan An has been studying Marxism for many years, and this time the officer corps is really the right person.

"Well, that's interesting, so go on." Yang Rui nodded with satisfaction. I feel that Fan An's ideological work has been solid, and his military rank should also be promoted.

First, all the translations will be brought with them, and without the Red Russians who understand Chinese, they will not be able to start if they want to bewitch them." As soon as Fan An said the first one, Yang Rui smiled, he nodded and continued to speak.

"Second. Among the officers sent, those who have no social experience will not be dispatched, those who do not attach importance to family affection will not be dispatched, those who love dance and literature will not be dispatched, those who are cynical will not be dispatched, and those who take saving the world as their own responsibility will not be dispatched; Speaking of this, Fan An breathed a sigh of relief, and he said: "In fact, it is safest to send illiterate people, and Major General Tao Dayong and the like in the army are the most suitable." ”

"Haha......" Yang Rui couldn't help laughing. Said: "This must not reach Dayong's ears, okay." Leaving aside these isolation and the like, I wonder how you would refute those two inspiring ideas. ”

"The idea of world unity can only convince people with reason. to emotional people. Van An said: "If the Bolsheviks really agree with the unity of the world, then they should give us more land." China has a population of more than 400 million people and an area of just over 14 million square kilometers. And the population of Russia is only about 100 million. It covers an area of nearly 20 million square kilometers. If the Bolsheviks really want to advocate world unity, then they don't want us to fight until Tsaritsyn is willing to return the lost territories of our country that have been occupied by Tsarist Russia. Therefore, the so-called world unity is only a rhetoric that asks the citizens of other countries to give up their rights and selflessly contribute to Russia.

This is to convince people with reason, and to be emotional, that is, before leaving, all members of the officer corps will go to pay homage to Luoyang Erlitou Xia Ruins, Anyang Yin Ruins, and the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. Our Chinese civilization originates from this, after thousands of years of endless, this time I will be able to turn the tide of the tide, support the building will fall, all rely on thousands of years of civilization accumulation in order to unite the people, rebuild China. If the world is truly united, then these thousands of years of civilization will be annihilated by all belief in Marxism.

Mr. has a saying: 'The more national it is, the more global it is.' He also said: 'How can the world's civilization flourish and diversify without the splendid civilization of all nations?' In this case, the nation will endure forever, and since the nation will continue to exist, there will be one after another disputes between the interests of the nation, which means that there can be no world unity. ”

Listening to Fan An's words, Yang Rui suddenly thought that he could almost publish a copy of Yang Rui's quotations by stealing those things from the future, and he thought about it with a bad taste, but Fan An's statement was not finished.

"The Ministry of Rites has done a lot of research on the theory of exploitation of surplus value, and there are two arguments to it, that is, the Marxist progressive view is not suitable for our country, and there is a primitive society to a slave society, then a slave society to a feudal society, and then a capitalist society, and finally a communist society. This summary is extremely wrong in both our country and Western Europe.

China naturally has a primitive society, but there is no slave society, most of the people who were martyred during the Xia, Shang and Zhou were prisoners of war of other races, rather than free trading of slaves like Western Europe, and there was no feudalism after the Qin Dynasty, and it has been a county system since then. So it is not a social progress that has progressed all the way to communism. The same is true in Western Europe, there were provinces in ancient Rome, similar to the county system in China, but after Rome was destroyed by the barbarians, it suddenly retreated from the county system to the feudal system. ”

Hu Kan came here, Fan An said again: "Mr. once said in an article that the Latin word "Prince" in ancient Rome only meant 'prime minister, first assistant', but after the barbarians destroyed Rome, these people were wild, and they didn't know that the official position in ancient Rome was similar to our country's liuguan system, and they had to occupy this position to pass on from father to son and son to grandchildren. From then on, Prince ceased to be the prime minister but became a king and a prince; In the same way, Duke in ancient Rome meant viceroy. But the barbarians didn't want to step down, so Duke became a duke; And the Marquis in ancient Rome was only a governor. But the barbarian didn't want to step down, so he became a marquis, and a count...... count"

What Fan An said was just an article in which Yang Rui criticized the abolition of Chinese characters and the implementation of the Latin alphabet in the past, but he didn't want them to find a tool here to deny the inevitable progress of society, which was a good thing, but he didn't want Fan An to be too cumbersome, so he interrupted.

......, the fact that ancient Rome was able to retreat from the county system to the feudal system and continue to this day shows that history has not been progressing as Marxism said, and if it has been progressing, why did Western Europe regress to feudalism?

As for the surplus value mentioned earlier. Mr. Taiyan said that this is actually a matter of hard work. As far as the army is concerned, there is no difference between a general and a soldier, and since there is no difference between a general and a soldier, then why is a general a general and a soldier just a soldier? The ancients said that the three armies were easy to obtain, but one general was hard to find. When a battle is won, is it the result of the general's effective command or the soldiers' desperate death. It is expected that the officers will agree that victory lies in the fact that the general points out the right direction, otherwise it will be too far from the other and too far away......."

It took a lot of time, and Fan An finally finished speaking. Although there are many far-fetched points in it, it can indeed give vaccinations to the officers who are sent. Yang Rui nodded and said, "Just follow what you said for ideological education." It is important to remember that everyone's head is the front of public opinion. If we don't occupy it, the enemy will occupy it. Once the enemy occupies it, it will not be so simple to take it back. Don't worry too much about the real and the fake. No one will believe a lie if it is told ten times, but if it is told a thousand times or ten thousand times, everyone will naturally believe it.

In addition, the intelligence bureau collected a lot of atrocities during the Bolshevik Revolution, such as the massacre of the opponents during the march after the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, the machine-gun food squad, the shooting of saboteurs by the Cheka, the detention of the White Russian military officers in the name of their release, and the ravaging of their wives, waiting, etc., many of which are fake, but who knows if we don't say?! If someone really wants to make a brain pump, you can show it to him separately. Those who believe in Marxism are generally good people, and at the same time believe that there can be no sin in the whole world. In that case, let him see that the greatest evil is actually the Bolsheviks themselves. ”

"Understood, sir." Fan An's face was full of joy. In fact, he did not understand why Mr. was so taboo about this Marxism, because in his opinion it was completely incompatible with Chinese culture, especially the theory of class struggle, which was contrary to the understanding of the world and could not take root in China, especially in the countryside.

Yang Rui didn't understand Fan An's thoughts, but he felt that Fan An's methods could keep the officer corps from the infiltration of Marxism, so that he could leave Bei Shoutong alone after he returned. He said: "I always feel that something is wrong with Qingyuan?" ”

"Something is wrong?" Bei Shoutong was slightly surprised and tried his best to return to normal, he said: "Maybe it's because of the things about Xiaoshan and Zixin." "The corruption case in Shanghai is very widely implicated, because it happened to be tried at the same time as the case of the students storming the prime minister's office, so the sentence of Dali Temple was neither light nor severe, and both cases were subject to death. This means that two of the forty-three young people who went to South Africa with Yang Rui died. Of course, no matter what position and what reason, just making a profit in the procurement of military supplies is enough for these two people to die ten times, but everyone was extremely shocked after the final verdict, especially Qi Qingyuan, who was good friends with Fei Yugui, and it was rumored that he had complained about injustice, but it was just a rumor.

"Shanghai is really a world of flowers." Thinking of Fei Yugui, who would fall into the eyes of money, Yang Rui now finds it incomprehensible. Is money really important to these people?

"Sir, can't you send Qingyuan to Russia?" Pei Shoutong asked.

"What does he mean?" Yang Rui asked rhetorically. On the day of Fei Yugui's execution, Qi Qingyuan's resignation report happened to be on Yang Rui's case, but he pressed it back. After such a thing happened, the whole army was shaken, and the expeditionary force only notified the officers above the regiment until the Verdun armistice, and if Qi Qingyuan resigned again, the shock would be even greater.

"Qingyuan wants to go." Bei Shou is the same way. "He may have been idle for too long, and he didn't fight, so he panicked."

"Okay, let's go." Yang Rui finally nodded. "Also, for the other officers, you should make a list first, and submit it to the Political Department for review, and then there will be a meeting. What can be taught and what cannot be taught must be explained. In fact, the enemies of Red Russia were only those Cossacks who could only fight bravely. The general coordination of infantry and vehicles is enough for them to deal with. Individual tactics and squad tactics are not used at all, and there is no need to mention air-ground coordination and mechanized warfare modes. ”

"Understood. That's how I'll go on, sir. "Bei Shou is like-minded.

"I must make it clear to everyone that our aid to Russia is equivalent to the Seven Wounds in a martial arts novel, which is completely towards Europe, although they were taught that we will be injured, but the foreigners in Europe are more seriously injured. But as long as we can achieve the goal of harming European foreigners, some tactics that will cause us harm can not be taught. It's not a friendship or anything like that, it's something we have to pay for with our lives in the future. If they were true friends with the Russians and taught what they shouldn't teach, where did that put the whole army? Yang Rui said very seriously.

Teaching Lao Maozi is simply a chestnut in the fire. But apart from this fire, what other way can there be to deal with the superior people of US imperialism? In order to win over Japan and form a sea and land alliance, 400,000 square kilometers, nearly 200 million acres of arable land, and countless forests and minerals were lost; In order to push the evil Red Empire into Europe in order to create a panic in capitalism, so that it would be less hostile and repressive to Asia. If this goal can really be achieved, what is there to be reluctant to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of people.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui restrained his previous seriousness again, and said: "You can say this when you go before, but if these people really cross the line, then just transfer them back, and teach them." In the final analysis, we still have to compete for our own strength, and with such rapid technological development, there is no way to maintain military superiority by relying on secrecy alone. ”

"I see, sir." Pei Shoutong said. He suddenly laughed, only to feel that Yang Rui was as stingy as a miser when he was stingy, but he was really serious. The self-confidence that is different from ordinary people and the demeanor that everything is under control are extremely convincing. "Sir, do you want to mention Qingyuan's military rank before you go? This is also a bit higher. ”

The highest rank in the Revival Army is a lieutenant general. This is extremely rare in all countries of the world. In view of the fact that there were fewer and fewer wars in Europe after the war, many people proposed to promote lieutenant general to general first, and then to marshal a few years later. At the beginning of the founding of the country, no marshals were awarded, not to mention the army, even the people of the country were not very satisfied, and in the eyes of some people, the army would not be complete without a few marshals.

"Okay, you draw up a list first, there are some colonels, those who should be promoted to major generals should also be promoted, don't be afraid of many people who will be promoted." Yang Rui advised. After saying this, he took out another report of the Ministry of Industry and asked, "When will the war in Europe end?" The Ministry of Industry is now looking ahead and not knowing when it will stop shipbuilding. If you stop early, there will be losses, and if you stop late, there will be losses, now it depends on the judgment of the General Staff, how long can the Germans hold out? ”

When the Entente would win was also a question that Bess often considered, but it was a difficult question to answer. First of all, the German army is far from being weakened, at least his elite divisions still retain combat effectiveness, as long as these divisions still have combat effectiveness, then purely from a military point of view, in the face of the German army that knows how to fight anti-armor warfare, it is simply an impossible task for the Entente to fight from Paris to Berlin.

Unless the Chinese and American expeditionary forces can add up to 2.5 million, plus more than 1 million British and French troops, and 4 million troops can crush the German 2 million men regardless of casualties, it is possible to break the German defense line. Another option is to maintain the blockade, to constantly weaken Germany's industrial capacity, and at the same time to starve some Germans to death, which will inevitably cause civil strife in Germany, and once it is civil unrest, it will be the time of Germany's defeat. It's just that the Germans are starving, and the British are starving, although the Mediterranean route has been cleared for a long time, but it is still the same danger out of the Atlantic. In particular, the question of Irish independence is now getting bigger and bigger, but Germany does not have Ireland.

"Sir, the judgment of the General Staff is that if the German High Command launches a large-scale offensive next spring, and the Bolsheviks incite the German Social Democrats to launch a riot, Germany will not survive next summer." Bei Shou is the same way.

"And what about those of his allies? Like Turkey? Will they survive this winter? Yang Rui thought not only of Germany, in fact, the weakest of the four countries of the Allied countries was Turkey.

The Germans sent troops to the Near East to help the Turks fend off the British, and it is said that they also brought more than 200 taels of Renault light chariots. This was a great irritation for the Turks, and they were taught all the anti-armor tactics. "Bei Shou is the same way." At present, the biggest problem of the belligerents in Europe is that the anti-war sentiment of the people is becoming more and more serious, the British and French troops have basically stopped attacking, and even if they attack, they are only auxiliary, but the Americans feel that they are well trained and are actively preparing for the offensive, but their artillery and armored divisions are not complete, and these will not be fully equipped until April next year. ”

"So the victory is entirely in our hands and in the hands of the Americans." Yang Rui said subconsciously.

"Yes, sir, exactly. The Anglo-French coalition forces have long been unable to fight, and the domestic supplies are all purchased by American loans, and then transported into the country by our and Japanese merchant fleets to barely maintain the livelihood of the people. Pei Shoutong said: "And the U.S. military is bypassing the Cape of Good Hope from the Mediterranean Sea into Europe, there can be about 100,000 people a month, according to this trend, the total number of U.S. troops will probably exceed 1 million during the Chinese New Year, and if there is no more flu next year, there will be 1.5 million people around the Qingming Festival."

The five nations set up a joint command last month, and they unanimously elected Marshal Foch, former chief of staff of the French army, as commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, and when he heard that we had an armistice with Russia, he asked us to send another 500,000 men to France to fight in the winter. If there is no flu next spring, then the coalition forces will launch a swift offensive and completely defeat the Germans by the fall. ”

"Send another 500,000 people?" Yang Rui laughed. "This adds up to a million troops alone, and with the addition of civilian workers, the total number is 1,340,000. How did you reply to him? ”

"I think the most effective way to do it to Germany is a blockade, not a lot of troops." Bei Shoutong said: "And I emphasize that China has already spent more than 3 billion yuan on military spending on the front 500,000 people, and if we send another 500,000 troops and hold out until the end of the war, the military expenditure will be at least more than 8 billion, and it is difficult for our country to bear such a large amount of military expenditure." ”

"Well, that's what it means." Yang Rui nodded, in addition to joining the army, the military expenditure was actually to spend all the silver. If you really want to use your foreign exchange reserves, everyone is not willing to do so. "Actually, we have done a lot of work," Yang Rui smiled and said unashamedly: "If it weren't for us, they would have been defeated like a mountain after the defeat of Paris, maybe Germany would have won now." ”

"That's what it means." Pei Shoutong also smiled and nodded, but he knew from his heart that the expeditionary force actually didn't do any, purely to balance, but he didn't talk about it. "But the Central Asian side is stable, they ......"

"The problems of Central Asia are only known to us, although there is a virtual truce with the Bolsheviks, but we will not admit to signing a peace treaty with them. It is absolutely impossible to send troops to Europe again, and the conclusion of this matter was made very early, and he said: "We will not send troops, it will all depend on the Americans to increase their troops, and the war will really not end until winter?" ”

"If the Americans had kept increasing their troops, the American army in France would have reached two million before the fall, and by this time the large number of merchant ships built by the United States had also been launched, and the German army became weaker and weaker the more the blockade became, and even if the Bolsheviks provided material aid to them, the loss of long-distance transportation and insufficient transportation would have been difficult to sustain in Germany. Judging from the current situation of the United States' troop increase, winter is Germany's limit; If Germany had suffered another campaign defeat in the summer, the defeat might have come earlier, and perhaps the war would have ended in the autumn. "Bei Shou is like-minded.

"Do the Americans have so many tanks? Now it's up to us and Britain to reinvent it, right? Yang Rui asked.

"There is a plan to build a large-scale combat vehicle in the United States, the prototype has passed the test, it is a Ford tank of only about three tons, it has no cannons, only machine guns, but the number is amazing, it is reported that Ford promises that after the official production, 100 such combat vehicles will be rolled off the assembly line every day......" Bei Shou said, with a look of extreme surprise on his face.

"This is America." Yang Rui also sighed in his heart, thinking that after next spring, the Ford chariots in Europe would be silent. (To be continued......)
