Duan Qirui snorted coldly, but the guards beside him withered, compared to the hundreds of Wehrmacht soldiers around him who were slaughtered, their remnants were really demoralized.

Zhao Zengfu saluted and said, "Duke, please come with me to rest and rest." Please rest assured that Xiushuai ordered to maintain the central rule unchanged and maintain the stability of the country. Next, ours, our troops will block the direct army from entering the city of Beijing north. ”

Duan Qirui opened his mouth wide in surprise, and only said half-loudly: "What do you mean...... Wang Maoru help me? ”

Zhang Kuian said with a smile on his face: "Duke, you have wronged my family on weekdays, he is a soldier, and it is the duty of a soldier to maintain the stability of the country." ”

Where could Duan Qirui be so stupid and deceived by him, there is no benefit to enter the customs, isn't it quite a president? So he asked, "What conditions does he have?" ”

Zhao Zengfu said with a smile: "Please support the restructuring of the National Defense Force, support the establishment of a republic, and the jurisdiction of the National Defense Force will be raised from the army to the navy, land and air forces." ”

People are swords, I am fish and meat, what else can Duan Qirui say, now that the East Route Army led by Xu Shuzheng is besieged by the direct army, it is his own old bottom, if it is eaten, the Anhui system will be finished. But what he didn't know was that Xu Shuzheng had already led the team to break through, leaving several troops of the 19th Mixed Brigade to resist stubbornly, and Xu Shuzheng fled to an unknown place. Duan Qirui said: "Can you rescue the Eastern Route Army?" ”

Zhao Zengfu said: "There is no need to rescue, only the Eastern Route Army needs to announce its participation in the National Defense Army, and Wu Peifu does not dare to start a war against the National Defense Army." ”

Duan Qirui said: "It's forcing me to go into the wilderness, right?" ”

Zhang Kuian shook his head and said, "Dugong, you don't have to go into the wilderness. In the future, the Wehrmacht will definitely have an important place for you, against the direct line. Only you can do it. ”

Duan Qirui thought for a long time and asked, "Why is Wang Xiusheng going to keep me?" ”

Zhang Kuian shook his head and said: "This contemptible person is not clear, Xiushuai will definitely respect you, you can rest assured." ”

Duan Qirui looked back at the soldiers beside him, as well as Duan Hongye, who was following him, at this time, they all hung their heads and sighed, The general trend of the Anhui system has gone, the general trend has gone.

Duan Hongye said: "Dad." Let's stop it. ”

Zhang Kuian said: "The tide of history is irreversible, and Xiushuai's 500,000 army went south, blocking like a mantis arm as a car, and it collapsed in an instant. Governor, for the people of the world. The Beijing officials on the side, including Wang Da, the mayor of Beijing, and the Anhui officials, also said helplessly: "Governor." For the sake of the people. ”

At this time, suddenly an earth-shattering shout came, and it turned out to be thousands of soldiers around the train station shouting in unison: "Governor, for the people!" Frightened, the surrounding citizens hid one after another.

Duan Qirui was very uncomfortable in his heart, but now that the Anhui system has been defeated, he has no capital, how can he restart? He was suddenly dizzy. Others hurriedly supported him. Duan Qirui finally said helplessly: "Okay, I support the restructuring of the National Defense Force. Zhao Zengfu and Zhang Kuian looked at each other and smiled, and immediately called back Wang Maoru that the Anhui Department supported the restructuring of the National Defense Force, and the Anhui Department was subdued. The Tiger of the North Ocean, Duan Qirui was convinced. Albeit at the risk of others. But it can make Duan Qirui, a tiger who has been entrenched in Beiyang for many years, obey, and everyone is indignant and excited. At this time, deep cheers broke out inside and outside the station, and everyone shouted one after another when they learned that Anhui was in uniform, shouting: "Generalissimo Shangwu!" Generalissimo Martial Arts! Duan Qirui was in the voice, and his back looked extremely lonely.

The bursts of cheers resounded throughout the city of Beijing, and even the Forbidden City was alarmed, and Pu Yi heard the shouts and hurriedly asked, "What is the sound outside?" ”

Guo Buluo Rongyuan said: "Back to the Lord, it is the sergeant who calls the generalissimo of Shangwu again." ”

"Who is the Generalissimo Shangwu?"

"It's the martial general Wang Maoru, a hero outside the Guan."

Pu Yi suddenly shouted, "Is that the one that your brother died for him?" ”

Rong Yuan hurriedly said: "My brother died for the country, not ......"

Pu Yi worshipped: "Then he must be a great hero, even Baturu died for him." ”

Only then did Rong Yuan settle down, after all, this Pu Yi was only a fourteen-year-old boy now.

At this time, Wang Maoru was inspecting the progress of the Minjiu tank in Shuangcheng, to be honest, the Minjiu tank had many shortcomings, but it should be enough to deal with the domestic warlords. The first official Minjiu tank has been manufactured, and Wang Maoru is sitting next to this Minjiu tank. Although it is not very good, it is far better than the Japanese Douding tank and the French FT-7 tank, and except for the engine, which is made in the UK, the rest of the parts can be made in-house.

I saw the M9 tank smoothly cross one obstacle after another, cross one ravine after another, and then pause, the turret moved, and fired a shell at a tank shell that had been declared abandoned in the distance, and the tank shell was suddenly blown up into black smoke. Liu Qingen, director of the Military Science Division of the General Logistics Department, explained in a whisper beside Wang Maoru: "If the other party is also a combat vehicle, this cannon can detonate its internal shells to explode." ”

Wang Maoru clapped his hands with everyone and applauded

, asked, "How much does it cost?" ”

Liu Qingen said: "The cost of an M9 tank is not expensive, only 100,000 silver dollars, of which 40,000 silver dollars is the engine money. ”

Wang Maoru counted with his fingers, so that the people on the side couldn't help laughing, and the sixth lady Wu Qiuyue whispered: "Husband, don't be ashamed, count with your fingers." ”

"You know what." Wang Maoru smiled and put down his hand and said: "100,000 silver dollars a tank, it's really not expensive, it's so much bigger than the French tank, okay, it's good, by the way, can you still compress the cost?" ”

Liu Qingen said: "The cost can be compressed, but the manufacturing will be rougher and more mechanical." ”

"It's better to be rough." Wang Maoru said, "You don't need to be exquisite, it's not a woman, it's not a wife, you have to be rougher, the skin is rough and the meat is thick." Isn't there a hundred engines, just give me a hundred tanks. ”

Hearing Wang Maoru's order to produce a hundred tanks, Liu Qingen almost suffocated to death, but Wang Maoru then said: "You can do your best, and besides, a hundred tanks is far from enough, but you can slowly train technicians, and in the future, you will produce two hundred, three hundred, and one thousand, so much that you can't imagine." ”

Liu Qingen smiled bitterly: "Xiushuai, I can rest assured from your words, a hundred tanks, it is estimated that we will have to produce them in a few years." ”

After affirming the work of the arsenal, Wang Maoru patted Liu Qingen on the shoulder and said: "Don't say that, we are now a small number of skilled workers, but we can train and take our time, and there will be more and more people with knowledge in the future, and there will be more and more technicians." Three years, a hundred M9 tanks, three years to build me a hundred. ”

Liu Qingen was so angry that he vomited blood, we made this tank for three months, and one hundred for three years, what kind of joke does Xiushuai have to refute. But seeing what his adjutant Zang Hao said in his ear, Wang Maoru jumped up excitedly and said, "Lao Duan has accepted the planting and accepted our reorganization." ”

Jiang Fangzhen, the accompanying chief of the General Staff, said excitedly: "Okay, it's a good time to officially take charge of the Central Committee." ”

Wang Maoru hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it is not necessary to be in charge of the Central Committee, but it is okay to interfere with the Central Committee." ”

Jiang Fangzhen pointed at him and smiled bitterly: "You, you, Xiusheng, let you calculate everything." ”

Wang Maoru laughed, and said to Jiang Fangzhen: "Brother Baili, the big thing is done, let's send a telegram to the revolutionary government in the south, and we demand a republic in the north and south." However, Sun Wen's government rejected Wang Maoru's proposal in a very low-key manner, and they and Lu Rongting were fighting for Guangzhou, so how could they have the heart to make peace with the central government.

Wang Maoru was not discouraged by Sun Wen's refusal, but made the identity of a mediator in a serious manner, and at the same time announced that he would take over Beijing's defense work with full authority, and the commander of the National Defense Forces in Beijing Military Region was Zhao Zengfu and the chief of the General Staff Zhang Xiaozhun.

Subsequently, Duan Qirui secretly ordered all Anhui troops to accept the reorganization of the Wehrmacht and not to confront the Wehrmacht, which immediately aroused the opposition of some Anhui generals. At this time, Xu Shuzheng, who had been missing for a week, appeared in Shanghai, came to the command of Lu Yongxiang, the overseer of Zhejiang, and said to Lu Yongxiang: "The governor must be persecuted by Wang Xiusheng, you and I might as well take this opportunity to launch an Anhui army and unite with the direct army to attack and save the governor and the fire." "Lu Yongxiang has seen Wang Maoru's Wehrmacht Coast Guard in Shanghai, the 10,000-ton battleship, the gun muzzle thicker than a person, how dare Lu Yongxiang go against the Wehrmacht. However, after accepting the reorganization of the National Defense Force, he could only control military power, but could not control political power and financial power, and Lu Yongxiang did not want to lose the power and wealth in his hands, so he was ready to unite with Ni Sichong, the overseer of Anhui, to refuse.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ni Sichong was seriously ill, and Zhang Wensheng, the commander of the Dingwu Army, succeeded him as the overseer of Anhui. Zhang Wensheng had just secured the post of overseer of Anhui, how could he give up his rights lightly, so he colluded with Lu Yongxiang and refused Duan Qirui's order, saying that the old man made his decision because he was threatened.

At this time, Wang Maoru and others immediately rushed back to Changchun from Shuangcheng, and Duan Qirui was also invited to Changchun, he was on a plane for the first time, but the old general was actually airsick, and it took a long time to adapt to the discomfort on the plane. With the plane flying higher and higher, Duan Qirui's heart rose to his throat, and it was not until the plane landed smoothly at Changchun Airport that Duan Qirui got off the plane and vomited heavily.

"Zhi Lao suffered." Wang Maoru was waiting for Duan Qirui's arrival at the airport, but when they met, he saw Duan Qirui vomiting all over the ground, and he was a little embarrassed. It's a bit of a shame to let an old man in his fifties toss back and forth.

Duan Qirui said: "It's okay, it's okay. Then walked in front with his chest up, Wang Maoru was like a small follower, the guards of the National Defense Force were a little angry, Wang Maoru waved his hand, signaling not to move, a qiē but with Duan Qirui to come. Duan Qirui has been arrogant all his life, and this time he can lower his head, it is indeed to the point of exhaustion, the huge Anhui empire is falling apart, and when fighting with the direct family, Shandong, Zhejiang and Anhui, which belong to the Anhui family, have no intention of doing anything at all, and the soldiers in his hands are almost beaten by the direct family, and he is almost captured by the direct family. Of course, when he returned to Beijing and was captured by the National Defense Forces, how can this be reasonable?
