Volume 4 The Battle of Unification Chapter 674 Two Rejections of Xu Shichang
At this time, Sichuan was extremely chaotic, and there were many large and small warlords in its territory, including Liu Xiang, Liu Cunhou, Xiong Kewu, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Dan Maoxin, Liu Chengxun, Tian Songyao, Liu Bin, Tang Tingmu, Lai Xinhui, Liu Wenhui, Chen Guodong, Chen Hongfan, etc., among which the relationship between them was between the upper and lower levels, and some were equal, but there was always a common feature that each warlord had his own territory and loyal to his own people, so Sichuan has been fighting endlessly since the early years of the Republic of China.
The biggest feature of the Sichuan army's combat is that it is fought on both sides, the officers play mahjong, and the soldiers go to fight.
It can be said that the complicated chaos of the Sichuan Civil War makes people scratch their heads, and the Sichuan Civil War was fought not by the army, but by the blood and sweat of the people. So far, in the ten years of the Sichuan Civil War, not a single general has been killed, and the total casualties in the entire Sichuan Civil War have not exceeded 30,000, and the total casualties have not exceeded 30,000 after ten years of fighting, which is enough to see what the situation of the Sichuan Army War was. However, the Sichuan army was extremely heroic in the battle of Jingchuan against the Yunnan army and the Guizhou army, and during the turbulent period of the Republic of China, the Yunnan warlords and the Guizhou warlords targeted Sichuan in order to expand the forces, because Sichuan and the Beiyang warlords were not in contact, and Sichuan was in a state of fragmentation, so the Yunnan warlords and the Guizhou warlords fought for Sichuan. Therefore, under the advocacy of the Sichuan warlords Xiong Kewu and Liu Houcun, in order to drive the provincial troops out of Sichuan, all the Sichuan troops united to launch a huge battle of Jingchuan, and the Yunnan army and the Guizhou army were finally driven out of Sichuan in this year-long war.
After Sichuan returned to the hands of the Sichuan people, it was not possible to live in peace. Today, this person took Chengdu and claimed to be the governor of Sichuan, and tomorrow that person took Chongqing, claiming to be the governor of Sichuan, and in a few days several warlords sat together and jointly elected a Sichuan governor, who was in charge of the history of the Sichuan warlords, which was even more chaotic than the private life of the little actress who drifted north in later generations.
It is precisely because of the complexity of the Sichuan army that Wang Maoru is not in a hurry to seize the land of Sichuan, and the only one who can pose a threat to the national defense army at this time is Tang Jiyao of the Yunnan army, and the other warlords are not in rebellion. It is in the midst of civil strife in various ministries in the province.
The current president, Xu Shichang, is a president without military power, and the provinces elected senators in April and the provinces elected representatives in June, and Xu Shichang wants to continue to serve as president. One is to win over Wang Maoru, the other is to make a contribution, now almost all the reunified provinces are under the command of Wang Maoru of the National Defense Army, and the people also see it in their eyes, they are all honored as a martial generalissimo, how can he Xu Shichang make merits?
Xu Shichang discussed with his staff to reminisce about the past, and finally decided to take the opportunity to recover Sichuan in order to prove the role of President Xu Shichang. However, the president had no soldiers and no generals, and could only borrow troops from Wang Maoru to fight, so Xu Shichang had to ask Wang Maoru for help again. When Xu Shichang was chatting with his staff. Every word has been known by Wang Maoru. You must know that Liao Zhipeng, the secretary who Xu Shichang regards as his most confidant, has secretly taken refuge in Wang Maoru, and Xu Shichang's every move is under the control of the National Defense Force.
The biggest benefit brought about by Beijing's military control is that Beijing's public order has suddenly improved, and the police patrol the streets during the day, and the national defense forces enter the city at night to impose martial law, and the people of Beijing feel that they have never been stricter. And of course there has never been security. After the military administration, the IDC sent a large number of agents into Beijing and bribed a large number of officials' families as surveillance network tools. The role of the CIA is equivalent to the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty in China. Even Li Muyu, the boss of the CIA, looked at the history of the Ming Dynasty when he was fine, and looked at it, but he had studied the history of the Ming Dynasty. Later, Li Muyu retired and retired to study the history of the Ming Dynasty at home, and became a special professor of Ming Dynasty history at the Wuhan Chinese Academy of Chinese Studies.
Xu Shichang asked Wang Maoru to borrow troops, Wang Maoru smiled and said with a smile The president laughed, the nationalization of the army is the trend of the times, why should the president borrow troops, as long as the president is in need, Xiusheng is willing to lead the army to attack. Xu Shichang was depressed in his heart, I was just afraid that you would make new contributions. Xu Shichang borrowed troops and couldn't do it, but this incident made the relationship between Xu Shichang and Wang Maoru a little embarrassing and stiff, at this time Meng Enyuan and Cao Kun ran over to win over Wang Maoru, they also had some ears and eyes, heard Xu Shichang borrowed troops, and laughed at Xu Shichang's smart life and was confused for a while, how could Wang Maoru be a person who delegated power? In his opinion, as long as he is not the president, then it is impossible to give up military power.
Xu Shichang has announced his candidacy for the next president, while Meng Enyuan has also announced his candidacy, and Cao Kun, whom Wang Maoru once secretly promised, has also promised to run, so it is not yet known who will be president. Even though Wang Maoru once promised Cao Kun, but now that the direct line has surrendered and captured, the glory of the direct line is no longer there, and it is up to Cao Kun to decide whether to support Cao Kun.
Wang Maoru is also waiting to see whether to support Meng Enyuan or Cao Kun as the next president, it is more in line with his own heart to support Meng Enyuan, but Cao Kun's prestige far exceeds Meng Enyuan, and many people in the Central Plains direct army support Cao Kun...... Of course, this
This kind of support must first be subordinated to Wang Maoru's military orders.
On February 7, the tenth year of the Republic of China, the special envoy of Tsarist Russia, Utkin, hurriedly ran to Beijing to see President Xu Shichang, hoping that Xu Shichang would send troops to rescue Tsarist Russia, Soviet Russia prepared for a winter, launched a general attack on Tsarist Russia, Tsarist Russia gradually lost a large amount of territory, and at the same time, the morale of the Tsarist Russian army was severely depressed, and a large number of troops surrendered. If at the beginning of the Russian civil war, the two sides were still fighting over ideas and wanted to kill each other, but now that the war has been going on for four years, ordinary Russians have long since wanted to continue the war. Soviet Russia and Tsarist Russia are holding a breath, and now it's a matter of comparing to see who swallows this breath last.
Russia's special Utkin's visit made President Xu Shichang feel vain, but then he was also quite embarrassed, after all, he couldn't command the army, so he could only superficially promise Utkin to consider it, and secretly found Wang Maoru, hoping that the Wehrmacht would send troops to Russia again.
Sending troops to aid Russia is naturally a risky move, Wang Maoru almost didn't come back when he aided Russia, how could he be willing to make this kind of attempt, and now that the national reunification is imminent, how can Wang Maoru have the heart to consider sending troops to Russia, now Wu Peifu, Ren Yuanxing, and Gong Xiaoqi are gradually encroaching on the territory of other countries around China, if they take the liberty of sending troops to Russia, won't they disrupt their plans. However, Wang Maoru spoke tactfully, he knew Xu Shichang's ambitions, so he found other reasons to refuse, and asked: "What did Russia promise this time?" When our country sends troops, we must not gain nothing, and it does not match our interests. ”
Xu Shichang breathed heavily: "The Russians want to recognize the Outer Northwest and return it to our country. ”
Wang Maoru first laughed, and then said coldly: "The Outer Northwest is already ours, why do they need to admit it?" ”
Xu Shichang sighed, and Zunzun taught: "We are just forcibly occupying, and the international community has not allowed it. In the future, if there is an international investigation, no one will be able to help us, and those lands will have to be returned to Russia. ”
Wang Maoru shook his head and said: "If our country is strong, it will not be recognized by the international community, and it will be ours there." If the country is weak, it is internationally recognized, and it is not ours. In the final analysis, as long as our country is strong, no one can take away what belongs to us, and this has nothing to do with international recognition or non-recognition. International? League of Nations? She's just a slut, and when the man fucks her out, she'll follow whomever she wants. When Xu Shichang heard Wang Maoru's rude words, he couldn't help but shake his head again and smile bitterly, what he, the president, had to be reprimanded by the army chief. Wang Maoru said again: "Utkin's condition is not good, it has not reached the price in my heart, and now the conditions for us to send troops are, Outer Northwest, Outer Northeast, Central Siberia and Eastern Siberia, if Tsarist Russia does not accept this condition, we can only say that we are powerless." ”
Xu Shichang said: "What is the use of the wilderness land in the far north? ”
Wang Maoru sneered in his heart Xu Shichang didn't understand the world's resources at all, but if he hadn't crossed over, he would definitely not know that in the vast swamps of Siberia in northern Russia, there are all kinds of extremely rich mineral deposits, just oil can be used by future generations of China for hundreds of years without begging the Americans to stop controlling oil prices. He said eloquently: "The extreme north is wild, but rich in minerals, under the frozen layer of the far north, there are a large number of oil, natural gas, metal ores, heavy metal ores, non-metallic minerals, we will not develop now, but we will leave a huge resource pool for future generations." This resource bank can ensure that our children and grandchildren will not have to be troubled by the lack of materials for 500 years, but beg others, so the wild land of Siberia is too useful. ”
Xu Shichang went back with puzzlement, Wang Maoru also felt that Xu Shichang was a little happy, why did Xu Shichang, who has always been an old fox, have been making faint moves recently? However, Yang Du told the truth, Xu Shichang didn't want to come down after being president for a few years, and he was so eager to establish cultural and martial arts because he wanted to win capital for the election.
Wang Maoru shook his head while smoking a cigar and said: "In the presidential election, the future is the dispute between parliamentarians and parliaments. Then he handed Yang Du a cigar, and Yang Du hurriedly refused to say that the smell was too bad and he couldn't stand it. Wang Maoru asked how the election of provincial councillors was, and Yang Du said with a smile: "The election of provincial councillors can be regarded as unique, but recently there has been an organization of the Youth Promotion Research Association, and Xiushuai should probably be very interested." ”
"Youth Promotion Research Association?" Wang Maoru said, "It's a very tongue-twisting name." ”
"The president of the research association is Liu Enge, the vice president is Pu Ji, and the secretary general is Dongfang Hong." Yang Du said with a smile, "With these three people, Xiushuai should know what this research meeting is for." ”
