readx; Although there were some small accidents when he arrived in Jinan, Chen Jingyun did not arrive in Jinan on time, but this did not affect Chen Jingyun's northern tour plan too much. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 However, although it did not have a major impact, the problems with the presidential train can be big or small, although Chen Jingyun did not open his mouth to hold him accountable, but there will naturally be people in the national army system who are responsible for this matter. As soon as he arrived in Jinan, Shen Gang of the General Staff Department punished the director of the transportation department under his command and several section chiefs who were directly responsible for the special train at this time. Silently, there has already been a major general and a number of colonels who have lost their official positions for this, although this part will not be directly retired from active service, but most of them have also been demoted and reappointed, and with this stain, it is almost impossible to be promoted in the future.

After Chen Jingyun and his entourage arrived in Jinan, they immediately took people down to live in the mansion that had been arranged. This is somewhat different from Chen Jingyun's previous itinerary, when Chen Jingyun's presidential patent arrived in Chuzhou, Bengbu and other places, Chen Jingyun only stayed there for one day, and he did not get off the special train, but met with local military and political officials in the special train.

However, this trip to Jinan is different from before, although Chen Jingyun also stayed in those places before, but at most it is just passing by, it is not Chen Jingyun's destination, whether it is Bengbu or Xuzhou is now not an important military place for the national army, and because of the existence of Qingdao, Shandong is much more important than before, and Jinan, as the capital of Shandong, is naturally more important.

What's more, Chen Jingyun's purpose of this northern tour is roughly three, one is to expand his influence in the northern provinces through inspections along the way, and the second is to go to Yanjing, as for the purpose of going to Yanjing, the first purpose is also similar, the same is to go to Yanjing to inspect and strengthen the influence of the national army and his own Yanjing. And the third is to prepare for the preliminary deployment of the situation in Qingdao.

Although Chen Jingyun has also emphasized to his generals many times that the situation in Europe is tense and war is very likely, but before this kind of thing happened, Shen Gang and a large group of generals of the National Army paid attention to this, and their previous focus has always been on the country, and they are full of thoughts about how to defeat Beiyang, where there is any mind to pay attention to the European war.

However, with the Nanjing Republican Axe replacing Beiyang as China's only legitimate political axe, those generals began to pay attention to foreign military trends, especially the military trends in the Far East, and in this case, these generals really cared about the tense situation in Europe, and Chen Jingyun repeatedly emphasized that the European war may break out in the prediction that it was also true, when Chen Jingyun asked the military to prepare for the European war situation, these generals were also clear about Chen Jingyun's thoughts.

Because there is no need for Chen Jingyun to take the initiative to say, these generals can guess that once a large-scale war breaks out in the European war, although the European war is tens of millions of miles away from the Chinese war, it does not mean that China can stay out of the matter, because whether it is the Entente or the Allied Powers, they all have leased lands in China, and once a war breaks out between the Entente and the Allied Powers, then it is very likely that a war will break out in these leased lands, and among the many leased lands, Qingdao is the most.

Originally, according to the minds of ordinary people, Qingdao is all German, even if the British and the British are 'Ben fought for Qingdao and Germany, it doesn't matter if the Chinese are concerned, but the truth is not so simple. Whether it is the British and the British attacking Qingdao, it is almost impossible to land directly from Qingdao or from Jiaozhou Bay, if they want to conquer Qingdao, they can only land from other areas of Shandong other than Qingdao, in other words, the army and the British army will land on the land of China, and then fight the war on the land of China.

No matter how big the impact of this matter is on sovereignty, it is absolutely unacceptable to Chen Jingyun and the Kuomintang Socialist Party. This is not because Chen Jingyun is unacceptable because of the landing of the Yue army, but because if the Yue army breaks out into war with the Germans on Chinese territory, then it will attract a large number of protests from the people, and if the national army does not take any action, then the people may spread their anger on the national army and Chen Jingyun, Chen Jingyun shouted the slogan of Chinese rejuvenation, if this kind of thing really happens, it will be a slap in the face of Chen Jingyun, I am afraid that a large group of Kuomintang officers will also have great opinions about him Chen Jingyun.

Therefore, from Chen Jingyun's point of view, if he said, 'I have the ability to defy the sky and land directly in Qingdao from Jiaozhou Bay,' maybe he will endure it and pass.' But when the time came, he said, 'If I land from other parts of Shandong and attack Germany, it will be unbearable for Chen Jingyun, and if he endures it, then a large group of Kuomintang members will have to oust him from power.'

But then again, if you can't bear it anymore and make up your mind to fight with me, Chen Jingyun really doesn't have much confidence to agree, don't look at the current saying, "I'm also poor now, and the army is suppressed by the navy and can't even afford to eat steamed buns, but it's good to say, 'This is also a country that has completed initial industrialization, no matter how much you belittle it, it is also a country that can build battleships, if you really want to lose your underwear and make up your mind to fight a full-scale war, with the current strength of the national army, He Chen Jingyun didn't even have a grasp of defense, not only was he not sure, but even most of the generals in the national army were not sure.

Shen Gang even made it clear that if he said that after this comprehensive mobilization, this island country would be able to arm more than one million regular troops in just half a year, and how many troops does the national army under Chen Jingyun have now, even if you add those local garrison regiments, it will only be more than 300,000 people. Besides, his Chen Jingyun's opponent is not the Ben family, there is still a large group of domestic warlords and bandits to clean up. Even if it was said that "there would have been no mobilization, and even if the current standing divisions and regiments had been attacked, the Nationalist Army would have lacked the ability to resist." The General Staff Department has already made a tactical exercise, and if a second war breaks out in China, the Nationalist Army, which is currently deployed in the northeast and Zhili areas, will not be able to hold on for even a month in the face of more than five standing divisions and regiments that may be dispatched from the two directions of Korea and Lushun.

It has to be said that the pessimistic attitude of Shen Gang and these generals further affected Chen Jingyun, which is also the reason why Chen Jingyun was ready to adopt another plan, that is, to take back Qingdao before he launched an attack. It would be best if he could get it back from the Germans in the form of peace talks, and if not, Chen Jingyun would not mind starting a war to recapture Qingdao.

As for the reaction of the Germans, Chen Jingyun really didn't have too many scruples, Germany is not Britain has naval and military bases all over the world, and can send troops to reinforce at any time, not to mention that 'this is close at a time, and it can be logged in at any time to threaten the hinterland of southern China's coast, if Chen Jingyun really makes up his mind to attack Qingdao, the Germans will not be able to cope with it on the battlefield in Europe at that time, and it is impossible for them to come with reinforcements from their homeland out of thin air, even if the Qingdao fortress is strong, Chen Jingyun does not believe that it will not be able to take it after a few months of siege. If you can't kill them, you can starve them!

This is also why Chen Jingyun would rather fight with the Germans now than fight with the British and say, 'Himself or the British!'

And with this kind of thinking, Chen Jingyun on the one hand is to continue to pay attention to the situation in Europe, on the other hand, he is also ready to test the Germans to see if they can use peace talks to take Qingdao back, on the other hand, he is also prepared a variety of other plans, the second is to deploy heavy troops in Shandong, once the European war starts and the Germans refuse to return Qingdao, Chen Jingyun will have to take the initiative to declare war and then attack Qingdao, and in this way, Chen Jingyun can get the support of the British, but when the time can not only be effectively contained, said' My ambition for Qingdao may be able to join the Entente and thus gain the support of Britain, which will be quite beneficial for China to export war materials to Europe.

Of course, he also prepared a third plan, that is, once he said, 'I want to forcibly attack Qingdao despite China's opposition and try to land in Shandong, then Chen Jingyun will have to fight with him even if he is unwilling, and if I can, then it is best to still limit the war to Shandong.'" And if I was not very lucky, I said, "If I am crazy again, maybe there will be a fight in the northeast, and in the end, I can even land in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

So the third option is to anticipate and say, 'I'm going to have an all-out war!'

Anyway, Chen Jingyun had never planned to make any compromise on the Qingdao issue, not because he cared about the so-called national dignity or sovereignty, but because this kind of national sovereignty might pose a threat to his right to rule.

Of course, this is also because Chen Jingyun feels that Qingdao still has a great chance of winning, and it is worth taking a shot for this, once he succeeds in taking Qingdao back, then his prestige in the country will rise to the point that others can not look up to, and when the time comes, it will bring great help to his complete reunification of China, and with the precedent of Qingdao, it will also be of great help to recover other concessions later, otherwise he would not have such determination.

Of course, this determination did not come from empty words, but was based on Chen Jing's confidence in the hundreds of thousands of troops under him.

It is impossible for these 300,000 Kuomintang troops to deal with a full-scale attack on Ben, but Chen Jingyun believes that he can still be competent if he only fights a small-scale war.

To a certain extent, Chen Jingyun was also gambling, he was betting that the Germans would return Qingdao through peace talks, he was betting that he would recapture Qingdao by force before he said himself, and he was betting that he would not launch a full-scale attack after a military conflict broke out in Shandong. In case he really loses all the bets, he Chen Jingyun will consider himself unlucky and at the same time prepare to learn from Jiang Guangtou to fight an eight-year war of resistance.

As for the consequences, Chen Jingyun doesn't know now, what he can do now is to make arrangements in advance according to the concept in his heart, and no matter what kind of changes occur at that time, he can deal with them, and among the many arrangements, the military deployment in the direction of Shandong is naturally the most important!
