Chapter 344 Discuss Cooperation!

"Brother Du is right. General Sun and I have also considered this problem before."

Xue Yue nodded and looked at Du Haisheng with admiration. "However, Tang Shengzhi's prestige in the original army is very high. The Fourth Army, the Eighth and Thirty-sixth Armies are old troops who have followed him for many years. Whether they are generals or soldiers, they are also loyal to him, although they are now controlled by the national government. But as long as you exercise properly secretly, it can stir up a lot of wind and waves.

After a pause, Xue Yue continued to analyze: "As for Wu Peifu, even if he was beaten by Lao Jiang, there were still several legion troops firmly in his hands. Although he fled to Sichuan now, the old man still did not give up and thought that one day he would rise again. Even the Sichuan army Yang Sen also had a reaction. Jiang Zhiyi, once the four parties can unite, millions of troops will attack in an all-round way, and in a short time, the Northern Expeditionary Army can also drink a pot. In this way, it can also greatly relieve the pressure of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. However, I still have another idea to quickly expand our troops to the strength of three to four armies.

"What?"

When Du Haisheng heard this, he couldn't help exclaiming. How could Xue Yue's words not surprise him? The current Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is composed of Xue Yue's independent regiment and Sun Chuanfang's direct army. Because of the needs of the situation, an independent artillery regiment, an independent cavalry regiment, directly under the engineering brigade, the number of 11 Tens of thousands of people have far exceeded the establishment of one army. According to Du Haisheng's vision, 110,000 is enough to compile into two armies, eliminate some old, weak, sick and disabled, elite soldiers and simplified government. At some stage, not only will it not reduce the combat effectiveness of the army, but will more effectively improve its combat effectiveness.

However, by the way, he is not a soldier now. He just has a good relationship with Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang. He is not in politics and does not seek his job. Although he has this idea, he did not tell them.

But now, Xue Yue told himself that he would expand two or three more armies. What is this concept? Without the financial support of the government of the Republic of China, there are four or five troops stationed on this mu and three-quarter land in Shanghai, and the minimum number will reach an amazing 400,000. 400,000 troops is not a small number. The purpose is to form a first-way army, a group of troops.

Du Haisheng was surprised and couldn't help reminding: "General Xue Yue, I don't know if you have ever thought about how to feed so many people once the army is expanded to four to five armies. What's more important is the supplement of arms and weapons. Now it's just an iron-blooded 18th army. Military personnel and weapons have made the two of you two. In a tight place, where did the new 300,000 soldiers and generals' paid, uniforms and weapons come from? I can understand the current situation of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army and your current mood, but war is often not determined by the number of troops, and there are many factors. In addition, where did you recruit so many people? Even if you recruit, one new recruit, has never been on the battlefield, has not fought a hard battle, and has not been psychological quality. If the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Army fought with the Northern Expeditionary Army, Lao Jiang will never give you so much time to prepare. It seems that the number of people has increased, but in fact they are all cannon fodder. Not only fight on the battlefield. Instead of any effect, it will affect the fighting mood of the whole Eighteenth Army because of the accidents of these recruits!"

Du Haisheng's words, even Xue Yue, a person who has been in charge of the army for many years, couldn't help but nod secretly. The other party's analysis was precise and thorough, and even hit the nail on the head. Xue Yue also had to admit that in some aspects, he thought that he was not as good as anything in front of him. The guy who keeps a calm mind, especially on the issue of troop expansion, he and Sun Chuanfang have also had several disputes.

As Du Haisheng said, the problem between the two is that if a new army is established, whether these newly established armies can form combat effectiveness in a short period of time, whether they can experience the washing of war in a short period of time, and the most important point is how to supply the army, and arms and weapons are the most important. Heavy, without arms and weapons, you can't rely on human flesh to block the opponent's attack.

Although Yan Xishan's Taiyuan Arsenal and Zhang Zuolin's Fengtian Arsenal are now also sold out, other warlords know that the good things must be for the Northwest Army and the Northeast Army. The remaining defective arms and weapons will be sold to them. Not only that, the price is extremely high, and it is also for them. It's a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't make much use at all.

"I know what Brother Du means. I have also discussed with General Sun the feasibility of expanding the army, but one thing is certain. These are just plans. Without adequate preparations, the expansion of the army is just a written form. As for arms and weapons, we still need more help from Brother Du. We are not short of money now. There is only a shortage of arms and weapons.

"No more about this!"

Du Haisheng waved his hand and changed the topic: "How many people know about General Sun, Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu's negotiators?"

"Not much!"

Xue Yue nodded affirmatively: "Since I first contacted the representatives of Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu, it has always been me and General Sun, and there are also a few confidants. Other people, even the adjutants around me, are not clear."

"My confidant, are those confidants trustworthy?"

Du Haisheng withdrew his eyes, glanced around the room, and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, these confidants are my old subordinates of me and General Sun Chuanfang for many years. They are brothers who live and die. There is absolutely no problem."

Xue Yue patted his chest and replied affirmatively. The few people who handled these things were carefully selected by Sun Chuanfang and him. In terms of loyalty, he thought he would never have any wings.

"Well!" When Du Haisheng saw that he was so sure, he didn't say anything anymore. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "If we don't have any wings on our side, there must be something wrong with Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu. Someone deliberately leaked the wind. There is another possibility, that is, Lao Jiang's agents. I have known about your conspiracy for a long time, so I planned to catch it for you.

"How big are the possibilities you mentioned?"

"It's very big!"

Du Haisheng's face was expressionless. "Tang Shengzhi was defeated by Lao Jiang and fled in a hurry on a Japanese ship. What kind of person is Lao Jiang? He not only wants to defeat the other party, but also kill the other party. He will never let Tang Shengzhi exist as a person who threatens him. I'm afraid that Tang Shengzhi will move to Qingdao, which is already under his control. Among them, it happens that your people have contact with him again, and Wu Peifu. He is now like a homeless dog. Not to mention anything else, even Yang Sen, his troops are now under the control of Lao Jiang. Nominally, they belong to the Sichuan army and are local troops, but who can guarantee that there are no hidden secrets between him and Lao Jiang? Perhaps Wu Peifu's life is under the control of others. As soon as his negotiator left, a telegram behind him was photographed on the table of Lao Jiang in Nanjing. We should all take these factors into account.

"Brother Du is right!"

Xue Yue thought for a moment, fully agreed with Du Haisheng's analysis, and then said, "It's just that before the matter is clearly investigated, everything is also speculation!"

"Ye-huh!"

Du Haisheng also nodded and asked again, "Yes, let's get back to the point. General Xue should tell the whole process of General Sun's assassination."

"I was not at the scene at that time, but later the adjutant introduced the whole process to me. Several people were discussing while eating in the room, but they didn't expect to break in from the outside with a few extremely powerful masters. Before those in charge of the guards could react, they were wiped by the other party's necks. If it hadn't been for me. What an accident, I also arranged a few masters. I'm afraid that things will be much more serious than what you see. If not a brother uses his own life to protect Brother Sun, I'm afraid that he is lying in the coffin board now. We have to do funerals for him. These people are really cruel. They kill with one move and leave no life. It looks like Killer."

"How about the negotiation between Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu?"

After listening, Du Haisheng did not express any comments and asked casually.

"They have been arranged to rest elsewhere. With the protection of our army, there should be no big problem."

"Ye�, this matter should not be sloppy, you must be careful. How many brothers have we sacrificed here?

Although Du Haisheng believes in Xue Yue's ability, it is obvious that his opponent is in the dark and has been staring at them in this matter today. If he is not careful, he will regenerate his wings. After all, it is easy to hide the open gun and difficult to prevent!

"Five... There is also an adjutant who has followed Sun Chuanfang for many years and is loyal. In order to block the fatal knife for him, he lost his life!"

Xue Yue said, and couldn't help sighing! Of course, he also knows the adjutant. He is usually very popular, and in a while, the child will have a full moon, and all this was last night...

"No one can avoid and predict that these dead generals and soldiers, General Xue, will be buried well. I'm afraid you will have to bear the family's affairs."

"Of course, this is our good brothers. These brothers are all good. Naturally, I will bury them well."

Without Du Haisheng's reminder, Xue Yue will do the same. He loves soldiers like a son. Every soldier is the cornerstone of this army. Leading a war requires not only majesty, but also iron brotherhood. This is a summary of Xue Yue over the years. He fights his hands and scolds his brothers every day. He doesn't know how to love himself. The generals of their own soldiers are often abandoned by their brothers later.

"If Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu can master the army, the negotiation will continue. If they need it, we will try our best to help. Of course, it is better for Wu Peifu to get Yang Sen. If not, the strength of our three parties can also be bet on Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Sichuan, and even Wu Peifu's old Chao, Henan, as long as you can link and launch an attack on the Northern Expeditionary Army at the same time. As long as you are properly prepared, Lao Jiang will be in a hurry for a while. However, this needs to be planned in detail. As for the expansion of the army, I mean, don't worry first. However, you can pull out 3,000 elite soldiers and strong generals to set up a special brigade, specially Engage in various raids, night attacks, sabotage, breakage and other tasks, and then select more prominent people from these 3,000 people to enter the special forces. The number should be controlled at 1,000, and this 1,000 people can only leave 500 in the end.

"What, the conditions are so harsh?"

Xue Yue was shocked when he heard this. There were also special special forces in his army. Although those troops were also carefully selected by him, in terms of his selection criteria, I'm afraid it was only for disbandment. The whole army's 110,000 people selected 3,000 people, and 3,000 people would continue to divide, and finally enter. There are only 500 people in Du Haisheng's so-called special forces. What kind of concept is this? It's scary to think about it.

"Are the conditions harsh? Hey hey, although you choose people, you must not be careless and casual at all. You must go through layers of screening and investigation, not only skills, shooting skills, and reaction. More importantly, personal psychological quality must be excellent. When this special forces are trained, they are often responsible for raiding, destroying and directly attacking the enemy. People command the task of the center. To put it bluntly, they should often face the situation of fighting alone. Therefore, their psychological quality must be excellent, and they must be vicious. As for the training, you don't have to worry about it. I will bring them in person when I have time, and I will definitely make them become the whole iron-blooded 18th Army or even the Republic of China. The pride and strangeness of the army, these five hundred people, I want them to use the effect of 5,000 or even 50,000. If they can't reach it, it will prove unsuccessful!"

Du Haisheng expressed a disapproving look at Xue Yue's words. He smiled and said confidently.

"This... okay, just as you want, I will hurry up to deal with this matter."

Du Haisheng's words still made Xue Yue look forward to it. He could promise to ** his own troops with his own hands, and made it clear that these 500 people can be used as more than 10,000 soldiers. It's quite expected to think about it...
