Chapter 394 The Big Trend!
In the 17th year of the Republic of China, in mid-June 1928 of the Gregorian calendar, Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Tianjin and Beijing, expelling the forces of the Feng warlord Zhang Zuolin outside the customs. The Nanjing National Government changed Beijing to Peiping, which is a special city with Tianjin. Yan Xishan was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Pingjin garrison. The provinces of North China have become the sphere of influence of the two major military groups, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang. Zhang Zuolin's position among warlords in various parts of the Republic of China began to weaken!
In this battle, Yan Xishan became the biggest winner. The strength of Jin Suijun was further strengthened, and Feng Yuxiang also secretly exerted his strength. Although the two groups are still under the control of Lao Jiang, they already have the capital and strength to fight against him. In the same month, Beijing officially changed its name to Peiping, because of Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang Sitting in Tianjin and Beiping, he wanted to move the government to Beijing, but was firmly opposed by Chiang Kai-shek.
Because Jiang Zhongzheng controls a large number of media and is the seat of the central government. Then, on the issue of moving the capital, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang saw that the general situation had gone, so they took the initiative to give up. In fact, Beijing, Tianjin and even the whole North China have become the actual control of the two. In the south, Xue Yue Sun Chuanfang's iron-blooded 18th Army, Li Zongren, Hu Zongnan's Gui Army, Yang Sen's Sichuan Army, Zhang Zonglie's Guizhou Army, all gradually formed a climate, and the whole Republic of China was formed. The Northern Expeditionary Army led by Jiang Zhongzheng was the strongest, followed by Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang. Other warlords were on their own hills for a while. Among them, Jiang Zhongzheng can't help them. What's more, only Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang of the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Army dare to oppose him blatantly, and Zhang Zuolin in the Northeast has been greatly damaged by this battle, which is not enough to challenge his authority.
At the same time, the cooperation between Du Haisheng and Fu Zihao also began to unfold in an orderly manner. Joint venture companies were established in the fields of grain, ironmaking, real estate, and channels and resources for the sales of food and arms and weapons. As for the cooperative relationship between the two, not many people knew. In order to keep it secret, Du Haisheng did not even tell Wang Yaqiao, Liu Tianyu and others, everything seems to be going smoothly step by step.
As for the content of the cooperation between the two, there are very few people who know about it. Only him, Fu Zihao, Zhang Zihan and Yu Yan know it, and they do not make any written documents for the record, so as not to be noticed by others.
However, people with intentions still notice the difference. Du's Enterprise Arms and Arms Sales Company is no longer a single Thomson submachine gun, but also arms and weapons from Germany, the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan and other countries, including cannons, submachine guns, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, rifles, grenades, mines. In order to meet the needs of future wars, Du Haisheng even asked Fu Zihao to help him buy 500 sniper rifles at one time, all of which were equipped with the iron-blooded 18th Army of Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang. He selected 1,000 people from 110,000 soldiers with accurate shooting and excellent psychological quality, and can withstand loneliness. A calm-minded soldier, in his spare time, he also personally trained these soldiers, 500 sniper rifles, not much to say, but if he exerts his power in the war, it will influence the victory of a war.
The number of snipers killed is not the largest on the battlefield, or even as good as the number of infantry, but the psychological damage caused to the enemy is unmatched by any munitions weapon. The submachine guns, heavy machine guns, and even cannons are willing to bow down in this regard. An army is not the final victory or defeat. The conventional troops, but how many snipers are in their hands and how much energy these snipers can exert on the battlefield.
As Du Haisheng, who once served as a special forces soldier in the 21st century, he is well spied in the role of snipers in future wars. This is also an indispensable arm in modern warfare. Even in many countries, there are sniper brigades affiliated to the central government, specifically for some The army and the government can't solve the characters and problems that can't be solved, and he has also participated in the sniper beheading operation against the chief executive of a certain country!
Imagine that on the battlefield, as soon as your head is exposed, you are shot in the eye by the other party's sniper, and you don't understand what's going on until you die, and your teammates can't find the place where the sniper hides. This kind of ghost-like existence will take root in your heart and greatly damage the morale of the troops. Especially when snipers kill the enemy, they usually choose officers. During World War II, the battle between Soviet female soldiers and German snipers has become a good story. Once the army has no commander, this force will basically lose its combat effectiveness and can't stop the opponent's attack at all, and it will collapse.
According to Du Haisheng's idea, Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang's 110,000 people can finally become no more than 200 snipers, but the conditions are special. He also understands that it is still very difficult for 200 snipers to play a decisive role on the battlefield, so after careful screening, this came out. There were a thousand snipers, and there were less than 800 snipers left in the end.
At the same time, after discussing with Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang, the special operations brigade of the Iron-blooded 18th Army was also officially established, and the selection of members of the special operations brigade is stricter and colder than the sniper who makes people feel very harsh. Although the quantity is more than the sniper brigade, the quality is better. A large section of the sniper brigade!
After all, the combat skills of special forces are not just good marksmanship, but also include individual combat ability, team combat ability, fighting, reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, understanding, mastery, disassembly, use of explosives, tactical use, and even proficient driving of various vehicles. Driving, makeup, camouflage, jungle warfare, mountain warfare and so on!
A series of systematic and complex processes must be mastered, which to a certain extent also increases the strictness and cruelty of the selection of special brigade members. It does not mean that you can enter if you want to enter the special brigade. The most important point is that if you want to enter the special forces, you also need to have a strict physical examination. If you Existing scars and diseases will be rejected, which has also attracted many soldiers' private complaints!
Du Haisheng doesn't care what they think. He is responsible for these special forces, for the future war situation, and for the future of the 18th Iron-blooded Army, a sniper brigade, a special operations brigade, an assassination brigade, a heavy cavalry regiment, a light cavalry regiment, an engineering regiment, and an explosion. Broken brigade, this is Du Haisheng's current overall plan for the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army!
As for the so-called special operations brigade, sniper brigade, assassination brigade... can be understood, while the so-called blasting brigade and engineering brigade make others a little confused.
According to Du Haisheng's explanation, this so-called engineering cade will play the role of bombing bridges, destroying enemy fortifications on a large scale, destroying roads, railways, and even enemy military airports in future wars. Of course, they will also repair damaged bridges with engineers. , railways, highways and other responsibilities, but many soldiers are not fully aware of what will happen in the future war.
Du Haisheng did not break his promise. According to the previous agreement with Jiang Zhongzheng, the Thomson submachine guns that arrived from New York were given to the Northern Expeditionary Army in his hand. The first batch of 5,000, the second batch of 5,000, and the third batch of 10,000. In less than two months, 20,000 Thomson submachine guns were handed over to the other party, only The price of Du Haisheng has also increased several times, but it is only a little cheaper than those arms smugglers.
This makes Jiang Zhongzheng very depressed, and at the same time, he has no choice but to blame others. After all, the channel of Thomson's submachine guns is now in his own hands, and others can't get into any hands at all. However, recently, many people have heard a rumor that Fu Zihao is also starting to sell Thomson submachine guns, and Knowing the relationship between Du Haisheng and Fu Hong, they are also well-in-known and have not broken them.
June is destined to be as extraordinary as this weather!
In the same month, the Nanjing and Wuhan governments merged, and the Wuhan government moved to Nanjing, officially ending the operation of one country and two governments at the same time. The veteran also fulfilled one of his long-cherished wishes, began to strengthen the road of centralization, and also carried out a series of reforms within the whole government of the Republic of China to eradicate dissidents. Reusing close friends, the general trend of the Republic of China seems to have the meaning of stability!
At the end of June, Du Haisheng became the first director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption of the Republic of China and announced 18 self-discipline for government officials!
If he has become an official of the government of the Republic of China, which is incomprehensible to the general public, and even feels that once he enters the government of the Republic of China, his reputation will plummet and destroy his future! His appointment attracted the dissatisfaction of some people and triggered a little ** who secretly opposed him. After all, he has no merit and no virtue. How can he sit in such an important position at such a young age!
When those agile guys heard that the ICAC was going to be established, they knew what the director of this department meant. The financial resources were widely promoted, but their status in the government of the Republic of China was greatly improved.
It's not available, that's good - check! Don't be lamented, don't give face, that's good - strict investigation! It's better to dare to resist yourself - just put on a false charge and shoot!
It can surprise everyone. Unexpectedly, the first director of the Independent Commission Against Corruption of the Republic of China government was this boy, who had to be disappointed and hateful at the same time.
Especially the 18 articles issued later, it makes the teeth of those corrupt officials hate itchy, and they can't wait to devour it alive!
Some people are even secretly preparing to find a killer to start the assassination against Du Haisheng!
However, a month later, Du Haisheng's ICAC has identified more than 50 officials suspected of corruption, some of whom are celebrities in the eyes of veterans and dignitaries of the government of the Republic of China.
And among these more than 50 people, more than 40 people were sentenced to death. This probability is quite terrible. More importantly, this anti-corruption storm that has swept the country. Du Haisheng and his personnel of the ICAC are handling cases all the case, even if Lao Jiang, although there were many people who pleaded for mercy, he never stood up and raised any objection to Du Haisheng's behavior.
It was not until this time that everyone understood Lao Jiang's intention. When he used Du Haisheng, he took a fancy to the other party's background and did not rely on the power of either side. More importantly, when Du Haisheng was in Shanghai, he was a decisive and vigorous figure without the slightest kindness of a woman. The means are even more varied, which makes people unable to prevent it. Obviously, Jiang is determined to control the corruption in the government of the Republic of China this time. Even according to rumors, Dai Li, Li Zongren, Hu Zongnan and Yan Xishan are all under Du Haisheng's thorough investigation.
Dai Li is a red man around Lao Jiang. He is the number one figure in the military unification. Naturally, Jiang Zhongzheng will not let him do anything, so he took the things he had committed before on his head. Everything was instructed by him for the interests of the party and the country. Naturally, Du Haisheng also had nothing to say, and Li Zongren, Hu Zongnan, Yan Xishan, and even Zhang Zonglie, these guys are not so lucky.
After a thorough investigation, Du Haisheng found a lot of problems, so he united with the army to investigate Li Zongren, Hu Zongnan and others. These guys were helpless in the end. Everyone went out hundreds of thousands of oceans to avoid this storm. However, at this time, Du Haisheng had already hated it to the bone, although he was anti-corruption. The action has achieved great results, but at the same time, it has also offended many powerful people!
The people applauded Du Haisheng's series of actions. Until this time, it also dispelled the previous doubts about him. Obviously, everything Du Haisheng did was for the benefit of the people.
And those who hate Du Haisheng in their hearts dare not take any action. They joked that more than 50 people have been shot and killed more than 40 people. It is said that there are no less than 20 people sent by him to Huangquan alone!
Don't you think your life is too long to oppose him?
The whole government of the Republic of China has shown signs of peace in a short period of time, but the general trend has not been determined. There are more variables in the future.
June 1st - July, this is supposed to be a harvest season, but it is another big test that everyone has to face...
