Chapter 180 from Germany

Qian Dajun was slightly stunned. He knew that there was a complaint in He Yingqin's stomach. I'm afraid he wouldn't be happy. It's wrong to ask for instructions. It's still wrong not to ask for instructions, so Qian Dajun had to make a laugh and whispered in He Yingqin's ear, "Brother Jing, be careful! How can this be the place to speak?

He Yingqin waved his hand helplessly and said, "I'm going to say goodbye!"

After He Yingqin turned around and left, Qian Dajun returned to Chiang Kai-shek's office. Chiang Kai-shek looked at the file and said, "Jing Yi must be very angry, right?"

Qian Dajun smiled helplessly and said, "He has also suffered on behalf of others. How can he not be angry! That was not originally said by their military and political departments, but it turned out to be abuzz, saying that they would use the money saved to pay subsidies to Nanjing ministries for national hardship.

Chiang Kai-shek said, "The country has not yet been unified. Soldiers do not cultivate themselves and think about other things all day long. This is forgetting the original. Why do we face 30 million fathers and elders in the three northeastern provinces? Such a person is not worthy to be a soldier, and his heart can be killed! Inform Dai Li to step up the investigation, investigate and punish the master behind the scenes, and kill him!"

Zhang Xuewu in Rehe is naturally as stable as Mount Tai. The Supervisory Institute reported to the Executive Yuan more than ten times in a row that it sold opium and cultural relics and antiques, but they all fell into the mud pond like goose feathers, and even a little ripples did not arouse. On the contrary, two members of the Supervision Institute who took opium gambling money in a row were blocked in the quilt and finally made a physical failure. The end of the famous split.

People with discerning eyes know who made this black hand. Can an official who doesn't suck twice, play with money, and sleep with women be a good official these days? Obviously, the small problem was lifted out by the agents of the secret agent's office, and Wang Jingwei could not cover it. Li Hanwen and Chen Mosheng had to resign in confusion. Soon, one of them fell into the river after drinking and drowned, and the other died at home.

This is Chairman Jiang's bottom line. Whoever touches Zhang Xuewu will die. At present, the national political axe is preparing to launch a new life movement. In April, Chiang Kai-shek's speech "Personality and Revolution" to the students of the Central Political School proposed in addition to the word "love and sincerity". It is also necessary to add "courtesy, righteousness and shame" to "save the depraved people's morality and people's hearts", "transformation of the revolutionary environment" and "determine the foundation of our revolution".

Some people have clearly realized that I'm afraid that next year, the central government will introduce a series of new measures, so that the opium of the source of all evil will be eliminated first. However, at present, Chiang Kai-shek's behavior has made the outside world understand that anyone can put an end to anyone, that is, Zhang Xuewu is not allowed to touch, you touch Zhang Learn martial arts, I want your head!

Without external interference, Zhang Xuewu naturally has more experience in the development and construction of Rehe, Chahar and Suiyuan. His large-scale procurement of German weapons and equipment has won the favor of all German [***] official advisory groups, especially General George Fotzell, the head of the delegation who will leave, for To express the German political axe's support for Zhang Xuewu's military purchase, George Fotcher brought a special "Order of Knights", a special medal never in the German Army's awarding regulations.

Simply put, this medal is called the "Friendship Knight Medal", which is the result of Hitler's repeated applications to the Ministry of Defense. Without a large number of military purchases of Zhang Xuewu's gold and silver, the budget of the German Wehrmacht in 1934 would have been reduced by at least one-third. Hitler not only used his slogans, doctrines and views. After winning the support of the Wehrmacht and the Juncker nobles behind it, he showed with his actions that I could give the Wehrmacht what they wanted to restore the supreme position of the German [***] people in the empire, and everything should start with practical actions.

With a large amount of money paid by Zhang Xuewu, Hitler made an unprecedented salary adjustment for the German army after expanding his army. When the whole world economy was extremely sluggish, Hitler won the support of the Wehrmacht by tightening his belt to highlight his military status.

That's why this "Friendship Knight Medal" was born, and George Fotzell ostensibly came to Zhang Xuewu. In fact, he had a secret mission. George Fozell and his successor, Admiral Seckert, went to Rehe, which was an extremely unusual thing in itself, but most people in China are still Jane. It is simply regarded as the attention of the German [***] advisory group to the German mechanical division. After all, the five A-type integrated divisions in the first army under the Rehe Legion are real moral mechanical divisions, not adjustment divisions and finishing divisions.

The arrival of two generals, George Fotzell and Seckert, made Zhang Xuewu a little excited. The former was his old acquaintance, while the latter was invited by Chiang Kai-shek to China. In history, Seket was given unimaginable power by Chiang Kai-shek in China, saying that he was the spokesperson of the chairman and could directly command the whole central government. The army is not exaggerated at all, and even the army of local factions has to give it a thin face.

Sekt can be called the real founder of the German "100,000 Army" after World War I, which laid the foundation for the German army to rise again and was a well-deserved father of the German army in World War II. In history, he came to China to help Chiang Kai-shek win the "fifth anti-encirclement" and suppression, which was also the perfect model for the German General Staff's principle of saying less and doing more. In the 1920s, a group of German people pushing cardboard boxes, driving toy planes, and shouting that I was a certain platoon to simulate the war. I'm afraid any visitor, Even they themselves can't help laughing. But in fact, they are an era ahead of the tactics and strategic consciousness of those opponents who drive real planes and real tanks!

In the face of these two doers, Zhang Xuewu knew that he could not play tricks. He looked at the most real troops, so he did not inform any subordinate troops at all. He was ready to take two German generals to personally inspect his troops. It was useless to say it well at ordinary times. He could only do a good job and wait for the real rest. OK! Zhang Xuewu also hopes to find some problems that he can't find through two professional soldiers with a very strategic vision. The army is led by Zhang Xuewu, so whenever he sees that his troops have made progress and grown up, Zhang Xuewu will be very happy. Similarly, Zhang Xuewu also knows that he is happy and does not represent his own troops. It's really qualified. The qualification of rules, regulations and tactical training is only the basics of soldiers.

There is no welcome crowd, no noisy drums! George Fotcher and Seckert, two skinny German old men, thought they were in the wrong place? If the translator hadn't seen the listing of the Rehe Legion headquarters, he really thought he had come to the wrong place. A colonel of the military and political department who was responsible for contacting and coordinating was suddenly soaked in his back!

Isn't this rude? Zhang Xuewu of the Rehe Army is now the largest in the country. Who can speak more than him? He said that he was really dead without notice!

After the inspection, the car drove into the headquarters courtyard. George Fotelle and Seckett were very satisfied, because all the officers present seemed very polite and there were people standing up to salute, but they did not stop, but in a hurry. Simply put, there were no so-called idle people present, no Like the General Staff of Nanjing, there are even officers chatting under the shade of trees with cigarettes in their cigarette rolls. Obviously, this will not happen in Rehe, and although the military uniforms of all the soldiers passing by look very old and even patches, they are very clean and tidy, and the military appearance is rigorous and disciplined!

Seckt nodded to George Fottel with satisfaction and said, "This is the army we need!"

George Fottel also smiled and said, "When you see Zhang Xuewu himself, he will talk about it!"

Before the two walked side by side into the door, George Fotzell found that Zhang Xuewu was standing behind the door, so he smiled and introduced to Sekter: "This is General Zhang Xuewu, the commander of the Rehe Legion. The officers and soldiers you saw before are all his subordinates!"

Zhang Xuewu also hurried forward to salute and said in German, "Thank you to the two generals for visiting our Rehe Legion for inspection. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me. Please wait for the bus! I took two people to raid the troops below in order to investigate and deal with the problems and rectify them one after another.

Surprise inspection? Seckert smiled at George Fotcher. They were very happy that Zhang Xuewu could speak fluently in Germany, because there was no so-called communication problem, and the previous level of translation was only limited to simple dialogue, and they could not understand complex military terminology at all.

In the car, Zhang Xuewu excitedly introduced the military strength and ordered equipment of the Rehe Legion to the two generals. As a result, George Fotzell and Sekter were shocked. When Sekter learned that Zhang Xuewu had purchased 98 150mm field heavy howitzers to form four artillery regiments, he suddenly I was stunned! I was stunned! Does a legion need such a strong firepower? In Secht's opinion, this is completely a surplus of firepower.

But Secht absolutely can't say this, because during George Fotcher's tenure, out of German rigor and pragmatism, suggested that China purchase a lot of Czech and French weapons, so the extremely sluggish German [***] fire merchants expressed great hostility to George Fotcher, and the law China is also trying to replace the status of the German advisory group in China with its officer advisory group.

What's more important is that there are many factions in China. It is not the only one in the Central Army. Everyone has to pay for German goods. Otherwise, it is difficult to meet the requirements of Germany by relying on the military purchase share of the Central Army alone, and the most deadly point is that Germany does not allow the production of tanks, heavy artillery and other weapons and equipment, so these weapons Equipment can only be produced in German overseas factories in the Czech Republic, Sweden and other countries, but according to Czech and Swedish laws and the Versailles Conventions after World War II, German overseas factories cannot produce more than 25 tons of tanks and howitzers with a diameter of more than 15 lives.
