Chapter 416 Divergence!
What Wu Peifu thought in his heart, Du Haisheng naturally knew it. He lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Well, I can let go of this matter for the time being. After all, there are still a lot of things to deal with here. As for the army, it's better for me to deal with less. If there are any difficulties, I can help someone. The formation of the Iron-blooded Legion this time was originally discussed by Xue Yue and General Sun Chuanfang, but it did not take shape at that time. Now we have three armies to attack 250,000 people. We should consider the next step. As for the direction of development, it depends on Marshal Wu!"
"Brother Du, you can't say that!"
Seeing that Du Haisheng refused to agree at this time, Wu Peifu used other words to prevaricate himself, guessed the other party's thoughts, rotated his mind quickly, searched for the reason for existence, and finally narrowed his eyes into a slit and said, "Am I Wu Peifu an ungrateful person? Brother Du pulled me at the most difficult time, and And secretly helped me form the Iron-blooded 19th Army, helped train three directly subordinate combat brigades, and elected me to be the commander-in-chief of the legion. Not to mention other things, it is also that I, Wu, have been grateful for all my life and can't be returned. In addition, Brother Du's literary talent and martial arts strategy, in this Shanghai Beach or even the Republic of China, no one knows who I don't know that you are not only competent for the position of deputy commander of this legion, but also do quite well. You and my brothers work together, and this iron-blooded army will be invincible in the struggle of warlords!"
"Huh, Marshal Wu, Marshal Wu, it seems that you are still worried about me. You want to take the opportunity to cut off my back road and let me follow you forever!"
Seeing that Wu Peifu was such a face at this time, Du Haisheng snorted coldly in his heart and was a little unhappy. At first, Lao Jiang wanted to make himself submissive to him, but he had never considered it at all and categorically refused. Even if it was Wu Peifu now, what should he do with this deputy commander, not to mention that Du Haisheng did not want to be. Even if it is quite, it is not that Wu Peifu can make decisions at will.
Although he is the commander-in-chief of the Iron and Blood Corps. However, many intermediate generals of this iron-blooded 18th Army or even the 19th and 20th Army are also his Du Haisheng's people. If it hadn't been for this, he would not have let his confidants around him personally cultivate the soldiers of the 19th and 20th Army to form combat effectiveness. These people are not Wu Peifu's or Tang Shengzhi's, but for Lao Bai. The surname exists for the stability of the Republic of China.
If Wu Peifu can't even understand this point, he is still thinking about fighting with Lao Jiang. He fantasizes that he can rise again one day. He is afraid that the position of commander-in-chief of the Iron-blooded Legion will soon be changed. Although Du Haisheng doesn't want to have any power in the newly established army, he is still restructured after all. First, second, the third army has to be the deputy commander, and it is still important to say something.
What's more, first, the Third Army has no selfishness towards him. On the contrary, Wu Peifu is now planning for himself everywhere. His heart is cunning and tactful. He is really an old fox.
Du Haisheng waved his hand in his heart and said, "Wu Dashuai, I have known someone's character for a long time, but I'm afraid I don't know much about it. If it's something I don't want to do, even if the bullet is in my head, I still won't frown and blink my eyes. Then, my Du's enterprise still needs me to control the overall situation. This giant ship has just set sail. If it encounters strong winds and waves, I'm afraid it will be fragmented.
At the end of the story, he took back his fierce tone, looked a lot of joy, paused, and said, "This deputy commander position is now put on for the time being. If possible, it can also let Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang, and even General Tang take the formation of the Iron-blooded Legion cannot be postponed. It's my advice and my real idea to get it together as soon as possible. Whether it is necessary or not, Marshal Wu will consider it for himself!"
Du Haisheng is very clear that although this iron-blooded army has more than 200,000 soldiers, it does not have much advantage in the struggle of warlords in the Republic of China. If so, it is at most more powerful than other troops in the equipment of arms and weapons. There are also three direct brigades, which are the foundation, and the reason why Du Haisheng is unwilling The intention to be the deputy commander is also out of his own purpose and calculation. On the one Hand, if he becomes the deputy commander, he will announce that he will start his military career and will no longer be stable for the rest of his life. Maybe Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang will end up in the future. Second, the business of Du's enterprise has just been on the right track and has already The Republic of China has blossomed everywhere and achieved considerable success. He will never give up such an important economic source. This is not only the foundation of his life, but also the cornerstone and prerequisite of the major arms and weapons R&D and manufacturing companies to be established. Without economic support, his plans and dreams can only be Stay in the fantasy stage.
Third, Du Haisheng believes that as long as he firmly grasps the manufacture and sales channels of advanced weapons, the Iron-blooded Legion will be defeated in the future warlords' struggle. Even if everyone knows that he and Xue Yue, Sun Chuanfang, Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu are closely related and ambiguous, no one dares to treat him. Unfavorable, the arms and weapons in his hand are the biggest capital.
These three points are the key reason why Du Haisheng unerantly rejected the position of deputy commander proposed by Wu Peifu. People can't block their own back path all of a sudden. Du Haisheng knows this better than anyone else.
"Uh... After listening to Brother Du's words, it seems that he really can't get out!"
Wu Peifu saw that Du Hai was vividly angry, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He also knew that he was afraid that if he would continue to be tough, he would only make each other's relationship stiff and displete unhappily. At the same time, he was slightly stunned and quickly accompanied him with a smile.
It's just that my abacus has not been realized, and I'm still a little unhappy in my heart!
"Let's put off this position of deputy commander for the time being. I, Wu, can agree to what Brother Du mentioned before. Second, the Third Army will advance towards Shanghai City on the same day, and the three forces will come together. Lao Jiang or other warlords of the Republic of China will definitely not dare to do anything to us! If you dare, let them taste the power of my iron-blooded army!"
Wu Peifu smiled and tried his best to hide his embarrassment, especially the last few words. Although his voice was not loud, he was full of confidence and domineering. Obviously, his current role has been transformed, and the Iron-blooded Legion also had a preliminary positioning in his mind. However, he also I know that if Du Haisheng does not support the Iron-blooded Legion, this army of more than 200,000 will not be able to form the strongest combat effectiveness at all
"With General Wu's presence in these things, Du is naturally relieved, but I'm still what I said before. When others don't provoke us, there is no need to pay attention to them. When others want to touch us, then open their mouths and bite them fiercely. Even if they don't kill him, they will bite the city seriously, so that he will never do it again. I dare not open my teeth and claws in front of you.
" By the way, there is one more thing, Feng Yuxiang came today..."
Wu Peifu nodded, seemed to think of something, and suddenly said again.
"Wu Marshal, don't be too nervous. Feng Yuxiang came here. It's my invitation. Naturally, I know the holiday between you and him, but I still ask Wu Marshal to think about why his brother will betray you at the critical moment and want to become a strong man. First of all, he should self-examine, find out his shortcomings and correct them. Only in order to avoid making the same mistake again. What kind of person is General Feng? I think I know him well. Why does Marshal Wu care so much? If you think you can't face him, you don't have to face it. It's good for you and him!"
Du Haisheng saw the small calculation in Wu Peifu's heart and felt very uncomfortable. Ambition is a good thing. Remember those grudges in your mind, but you can't be blind and short-sighted. Otherwise, it is not impossible for him to repeat his mistakes. If so, it will be the biggest mistake in his life that the Iron-blooded Legion is handed over to him.
Although he has considered Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang, one of them has only been a regimental commander and the other has been a warlord, but they are also attached to the name of others, but they do not have the ability to control the overall situation.
And I have more important things to do, and naturally I won't pay attention to these things.
"Ye-huh, what Brother Du said! In those years, I did have a lot of problems in the governance of the army. Feng Yuxiang betrayed me, and I also know the reason. If I could listen to his opinion at the beginning, I would not have come to such a disastrous end. Even if Feng Yuxiang did not betray, others would have betrayed, and there were many of them, and my end would not be worse. How good is it for the first time!"
Wu Peifu's words are true, and they are also his own shortcomings found after countless reflections. It's a great thing to change it. "For General Feng Yuxiang, although I don't hate it, it's difficult to let it go. After all, I once regarded it as my most powerful helper, but I didn't think of the final counterattack, but Brother Du Don't worry, I won't care about these things with him!"
Du Haisheng nodded and said, "This is what Marshal Wu should look like. General Feng, I have something to talk about. It's not convenient to disclose it now. Today, we are going to negotiate the future development direction of the Iron-blooded Legion. Since Marshal Wu has no objection to the position of commander-in-chief, let's settle it. "
"Good..."
Seeing that things could not be changed, Tang Shengzhi swallowed bitter water in his heart, smiled and stood up and said, "I hope that under the leadership of General Wu, the Iron-blooded Legion can become famous at home and abroad and make the enemy afraid!"
"Big..."
At this time, a knock on the door came in with the man's voice. Du Haisheng heard it really. It was Yuan Dongshan.
"Come in!"
Du Haisheng didn't know what the boy was going to do. Yuan Dongshan came in and saw that the people sitting were all general-level figures. He nodded slightly and went to Du Haisheng to bite his ears.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here, just say it!"
Du Haisheng's face darkened, frowned and ordered in a low voice...
