Standing behind Wang Maoru were Li Delin, deputy commander of the Northeast Army and minister of general security, Jiang Fangzhen, director of a certain department of the General Staff Department, He Rufei, minister of general military affairs, Mi Shaobai, director of the General Logistics Department, and Gao Shibin, another deputy commander of the Northeast Army, who had a sad face. Behind the five of them, stood Guo Songling, Zhao Jiacheng, Luo Hao, Zhu Huailong, Pu Ji, Niu Delu, Zhang Xiaozhun, Zhang Kuian and others, all of whom were important figures in the four generals.

He Rufei was still in charge of hosting, and he said in Wang Maoru's ear: "Xiushuai, get ready, speak." Wang Maoru nodded.

He Rufei walked to the microphone first and said loudly: "Please note, compatriots, please note, below, Wang Maoru, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Frontier Army, the deputy commander of the Chinese Participating Army, the winner of the European War Warrior Medal, and the martial general who beat the Austrian ** team, speak!" Everyone applauds and welcomes! ”

Whoa...... Huge applause sounded, enduring, Wang Maoru walked to the microphone, more thunderous applause, everyone wanted to see the demeanor of General Shangwu, but the distance was too far how to see, many people squeezed forward The scene was a little chaotic, fortunately, the armed police of the army maintained order, so as not to produce a trample.

Wang Maoru looked back at his subordinates behind him, raised his head one by one, Pu Ji winked at him, Wang Maoru laughed, knowing what was going on. For such a grand and grand event, Pu Ji must have done a good job of publicity in advance, revealed the news of Wang Maoru's return, and raised the hearts of the people, so that they could see a living national hero return to the country. Enjoy the treatment of a hero.

As the deputy minister of the General Military Affairs Department and the head of the Propaganda Department, Pu Ji's energy mobilized was even far greater than that of Meng Enyuan, the governor of the northeast, which shows how far Meng Enyuan's power has been hollowed out.

The mountains and tsunami are nothing but that, Wang Maoru thought secretly in his heart, he was a little fluttering, this qiē seemed to be a little unreal. From the first year of the Republic of China, he drove a jeep with a cart of stockings, and traveled to the end of the Republic of China in a half-believing manner, writing books to make a living. became famous unexpectedly, and went to Peking University to teach, and then went abroad to find oil and made a fortune with stockings and oil. After returning home, he formed a consortium to develop aviation, and then formed his first troops, the Flying Corps, the garrison. After the extermination of the Bailang bandits, Duan Qirui paid attention to it, and changed the court to join Yuan Keding with one of his own troops, and when he arrived, he became the commander of the border brigade, relying on financial resources and good friends to become the protector of the army, the governor, and since then he has made a fortune until now, and has become the de facto king of the Northeast.

In the end, I am in a dream, or is it real, is this qiē a dream I had in the car?

"Show handsome! Show handsome! Zhang Yiwei shouted twice beside him, waking Wang Maoru up from his contemplation. Glancing back at everyone looking at him, and then at the enthusiastic shouting crowd in the People's Square, he regained his senses, straightened the microphone, and said, "Fellow citizens. Good morning. ”

Sixteen horns scattered across the square immediately transmitted the sound in all directions.

The sun gradually rose, illuminating the surroundings and chilling Shenyang's People's Square. Although the weather in Shenyang in November was already very cold, it could not stop the enthusiastic 100,000 people below.

The weather today is very sunny. It was the warmest day in November, not even the north wind was blowing, and the slightest whirring wind could not be heard in the microphone, and Wang Maoru's voice quickly reached the ears of the citizens.

"It is an honor for me to give you a speech here about my country's participating army, our Chinese participating army fought bravely on the battlefield in Italy, and finally won the victory in the Battle of Lodrone, winning glory for the motherland and the nation." Wang Maoru said, "Here I want to tell a story, a story of front-line battles. In the 4th Division of the participating army, there was a squad called the Iron Hammer Squad, and there were a total of ten people in the squad before leaving the Northeast for Europe. The soldiers of this squad came from all over the world, including Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Hebei, Shandong, recruits and veterans. This squad had wiped out more than 30 Indian soldiers in the British colony of Singapore, and in Italy, they also wiped out more than 30 Austrians. However, the squad of ten soldiers at the beginning of the battle was reduced to six by the end of the battle, and forty percent of the soldiers fell on the road to fighting for human justice. But they are not dead, their spirit endures, and they are always with us! ”

Wang Maoru's mouth was like a river gushing, his speech was very incendiary and infectious, Guo Songling, who was standing behind him, was also overturning the river and the sea in his heart, he was not infected by Wang Maoru's speech, but because someone visited a few days ago, this person was Xu Shuzheng's special envoy Zhang Siheng.

Xu Shuzheng tried to win over several giants of the Northeast Frontier Army before Wang Maoru returned to China, but these people sneered at Xu Shuzheng and even drove the envoy out.

Among the main generals of the Northeast Frontier Army, Jiang Fangzhen and Xu Shuzheng had contradictions as early as the War Department, and it was precisely because of Xu Shuzheng's exclusion that Jiang Fangzhen was just a principal of Baoding and had never held an important position in Beiyang. Li Delin is in charge of the Ministry of Security and is extremely loyal to Wang Maoru, and it is impossible for him to be co-opted. Zhu Yongquan is far away in Mongolia, and Zhu Yongquan had conflicts with the Anhui system in his early years, and he was very disgusted with the Anhui system, and he was even more disdainful of Xu Shuzheng's wooing.

Only Guo Songling was recommended by Zhu Qinglan to join Wang Maoru's army, and after entering Wang Maoru's command, he was suppressed and could not grasp the actual military power, and he was suppressed by Wang Maoru several times when he proposed to lead troops. Among the three giants of the General Staff, the radical Guo Songling can only rank third, the moderate Jiang Fangzhen ranks first in terms of seniority and ability, and the pragmatic Zhu Yongquan ranks second because he leads more troops and is the leader of the Lu Da department.

And what made Guo Songling most annoyed was the question about Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the commander of Suiyuan shortly after Wang Maoru went to Europe, and led the town to the west into Suiyuan. At this time, Guo Songling proposed to take the opportunity to intercept and kill, so that Zhang Zuolin would lose all his money, but Jiang Fangzhen refused.

In fact, Guo Songling saw the right time, when Zhao Zengfu led four divisions to eye, Zhang Zuolin was also trembling when he left. Although Wang Maoru promised Zhang Zuolin, who dares to guarantee that this thing will be effective. The main battle faction led by Guo Songling saw the opportunity and actively built an opportunity to attack Zhang Zuolin and swallowed Zhang Zuolin's 50,000 troops.

However, before leaving, Wang Maoru demanded that Zhang Zuolin must not be moved, and Jiang Fangzhen also knew that Wang Maoru was driving Zhang Zuolin to the northwest and making the situation in the northwest more chaotic, so that he could have the opportunity to meddle in areas outside the northeast. If Zhang Zuolin is intercepted and killed now, it will not only be detrimental to Xiushuai's reputation, but also disrupt Xiushuai's national plan. This is the same as Xu Shuzheng's shooting of Lu Jianzhang, although it shocked the direct family, but it offended all the warlords. Attacking Zhang Zuolin can certainly destroy the town, but the loss is strict and unpopular, it is difficult to ensure that Zhang Zuolin jumps over the wall in a hurry to play guerrilla warfare with himself, and it will be bad if the enemy advances and retreats, and the enemy retreats and I advance.

Guo Songling, who was smiling on the surface, was actually very subtle in his heart, and he realized that he was being excluded and suppressed, so when Xu Shuzheng's representative Zhang Siheng arrived, his mind quickly changed, and there was such a change in mentality. Xu Shuzheng privately conveyed the message that if Guo Songling rebelled against the king (Wang Maoru) and could pull out an army to occupy the Jinzhou area of southern Liaoning, the Anhui system would definitely support him, and if he recruited two or more troops, let him be the king of the northeast. The shame of the second division of the participating army being annexed by Wang Maoru in Italy made Xu Shuzheng unforgettable, since you are the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being fifteenth, if you annex my army, I will provoke your legion.

Xu Shuzheng's wooing made Guo Songling very contradictory, on the one hand, he did not actually control the army, on the other hand, he was in an executive position, and he was in charge of all the armies. The armies that Guo Songling had been responsible for forming could not be controlled after a few years, and the recently formed 12th, 13th, and 14th Divisions, as well as the 14th Mao Ziping Division, were now formed and guarded in Binjiang Prefecture, Jilin Province. The 12th Division Liu Zhebu has been formed and has been transferred to Mongolia to assist the 3rd and 6th Divisions in defending Mongolia. And Wei Dongling, the commander of the 13th Division who stayed in Shenyang, was Wang Maoru's adjutant, and he was loyal to Wang Maoru, so it was not easy to win him over.

After thinking about it, Guo Songling decided that it was the 14th Division in Harbin that was worth wooing, because the division commander of the division, Mao Ziping, had made Wang Maoru suffer a lot. When Mao Ziping was the acting brigade commander of Xu Lanzhou's subordinates, he led a broken cavalry brigade to intercept the rear road of Wang Maoru's army, almost putting Wang Maoru's army to death.

Wang Maoru must be very jealous of this kind of talent, otherwise he would not have suppressed him for a few years before he was activated. In line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Guo Songling contacted Mao Ziping privately, but Mao Ziping's reaction was a little unexpected, but he just hummed and did not answer. This made Guo Songling very angry and afraid, Mao Ziping was too scheming, which really made him unable to see through, and he was snubbed at this time.

Wang Maoru spoke enthusiastically in front, and the crowd below was disgusted with a frenzy, and Wang Maoru shouted in his heart that the people's will can be used.

At the end of the speech, everyone came to the parliament hall to celebrate, this parliament hall was also designed and built by the Americans, with a circular design, with a rostrum in the middle and seats around it.

However, this celebration was just a simple form, and the welcome reception in the evening was the focus, and everyone had a simple working meal of three dishes and one soup in the council hall at noon, and then began to report in the afternoon.

At this time, Meng Enyuan left on the grounds that he was old and unwell, but he couldn't stand this kind of neglect, as soon as Wang Maoru came back, everyone immediately reported to him instead of him, the governor of the Northeast, who couldn't stand such a gap. rs
