Chapter 424 Don't talk about arms, watch the army first!
When everyone heard Du Haisheng's blunt words, Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang nodded slightly and looked at each other. They could see what the other party was thinking. Since the other party had already opened his mouth, there should be no problem to take away a batch of arms and weapons this time, but they were not satisfied with it. In their opinion, Du Haisheng How much combat effectiveness can the arms and weapons in his hand be improved, and there is a big question mark.
Thinking about this, the two looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Mr. Du, I heard that the combat effectiveness of the current Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army has now made a qualitative leap from before. Even Lao Jiang's hundreds of thousands of troops are besieged without any fear. Although they have experienced a battle, everyone It is clear that the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is composed of Xue Yue's independent regiment and General Sun's Zhilu army. The combat effectiveness has been tested for a long time, but it has recently expanded a lot of new recruits. I don't know what the current combat effectiveness is. I want to see it. I'm afraid everyone has the same idea as me!"
Yan Xishan's eyes rolled around. After saying that, he glanced at the crowd, and it was still an old strategy. That was to say the idea in his heart and pull the person who stopped vomiting into the water.
"Yes, that's what Chief Yan said!"
Everyone nodded and said yes. Even Wu Peifu, Tang Shengzhi and Kong Xuan wanted to know what the combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army was.
After all, Du Haisheng has paid the most for the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, and has done the most effort. The weapons and equipment are the most sophisticated among the three armies, and it was prepared by Du Haisheng himself. Even Wu Peifu, Tang Shengzhi and Kong Xuan have never seen the training of the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Army, and even asked Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang, but what they adopted was to ignore and even delay the tactics.
This made the three people more curious about this most mysterious force.
Not to mention Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Xueliang, Wang Jialie, Yang Sen and others who have hardly entered the iron-blooded 18th military camp.
They have been estimating the real combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, but now they still can't really estimate it, and even Lao Jiang dares not despise this force.
"You mean, do you want to visit the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army?"
Du Haisheng naturally knew the thoughts of these people, and a contemptuous smile flashed in his eyes and asked rhetorically.
"That's good. Let's talk about business. We still need to be elegant. We really want to see the combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army."
Yan Xishan still has a sinister face, like a difficult little ghost. Du Haisheng doesn't care about him. In addition, this is exactly what he wants to achieve.
They want to see the combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, so sooner or later, they will see the amazing combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. These people are unconvinced. Moreover, Du Haisheng knows their thoughts very well. He not only wants to see the combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, but also If you want to see how advanced the arms and weapons of the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Army have been. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, I'm afraid that you can make a general decision through this observation. Since ancient times, whether it is the army or the country, interests come first. There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.
Even the bitter enemy will become worth mentioning in the face of attractive interests.
Yan Xishan is an old slippery man. He didn't negotiate the purchase of arms and weapons with himself first, but chose to look at the combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. Hey hey, old fox, you think you are smart, but you don't know that this is the situation I want. Looking at it, I'm sure you will be surprised and let you see the real Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. Right strength, I want to eat you, it's just like playing.
"No way!"
Du Haisheng was proud in his heart, but he didn't want to be the deputy commander of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. Xue Yue stood up, patted the table with an extremely firm face, and refused toughly.
Naturally, their little calculations can't hide Xue Yue's eyes, but he and Du Haisheng think the opposite. He feels that since the Eighteen Iron-blooded Army has never participated in the struggle of any warlord faction in the Republic of China, even if there is a faction struggle, he does not dare to pull down the Iron-blooded Eighteen Army. In the final analysis, It is still because the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Army has always maintained his mysterious color. No one really knows what the combat effectiveness of this army is. Everyone has the same curiosity about mysterious things, but for that mysterious and powerful existence, it is more of a fear for no reason.
Du Haisheng once said that the current Iron-blooded Legion is best not to participate in the fight of either side, hide its glory and bide its time. When it really has strength in the future, even if it is the king and hegemony, it doesn't matter.
The world is not only available to others, and Xue Yue, Sun Chuanfang and Wu Peifu don't have any chance, but it's not the time yet. Now the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is like a child who has been practicing kung fu since childhood, but after all, it has not been cultivated yet. Once it is too ostentatious, it will inevitably besieged by others. Although the Republic of China has known the existence of the Iron-blooded 18th Army, and that the Iron-blooded 18th Army has been reborn after the strong intervention of Du Haisheng, and all the arms and weapons have been replaced. Even the morale of the soldiers is different, there is another thing that very few people know, that is, the three direct subordinates cultivated by Du Haisheng himself. Special Operations Brigade, these three brigades don't look at only more than 10,000 people, but if they really want to be sent to the battlefield, Xue Yue has absolute confidence. Even if there are more than 100,000 people in the current Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, if they want to be serious, they are not the opponent of more than 10,000 people. Du Haisheng's training methods are strange and versatile. Even the simplest lying down, throwing grenades makes those team members practice thousands of times.
The individual combat ability has been greatly improved. With the strong support of the five-person ordnance manufacturing company and Haisheng Arms Sales Company behind, the strong guarantee has made the current three direct brigades.
It is precisely these three direct brigades that make Xue Yue have enough confidence to challenge the other party in the face of any force. Now, Yan Xishan actually uses such a far-fetched reason to secretly observe and estimate the combat effectiveness of the 18th Iron-blooded Eighteen Armies. It is simply a joke. He will definitely not allow such a thing to happen, even if It was Yan Xishan in front of him who said that the flowers were falling, and he would not be shaken at all.
Naturally, when Xue Yue said this, he still kept looking at Du Haisheng, hoping to get a trace of information and affirmation from his eyes, but it was not as he thought.
At this time, Du Haisheng was like a wooden man - expressionless!
"Brother Xue Yue, why are you so excited? Is it possible that the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is just a paper tiger that can stand the war!"
Seeing this, Yan Xishan thought about it in his heart. Finally, he narrowed his eyes into a small slit, and his voice joked a little. Even if he didn't need to explain, everyone knew that it was obvious that this guy was using the method of excitement.
"Hey hey, Yan Laoxi, it's okay for you to play with others. It won't have any effect on me. Don't think that if you are coming soon, I will listen to you and take you to see the combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. Don't think about it. How is the combat effectiveness of the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army? I don't Say, you don't have to guess. If you don't accept it, you can pull your army. Let's go to the battlefield and have fun. If my iron-blooded 18th Army is defeated and abandoned its armor, then I, Xue, have nothing to say. If you are defeated by me, I can only admit that you are unlucky.
For Yan Xishan, Xue Yue had a little resistance from beginning to end. Such a villain even doubted why Du Haisheng would let him attend such a meeting.
Listen to what he means, and even want to sell general fire weapons to his troops. This guy is not only ambitious, but also an unfamiliar vicious dog. Maybe he will bite his owner fiercely at some point. All he wants is what he wants is his interests. In his eyes, everything is the most important thing. If his army is equipped with the most advanced weapons, the Republic of China may be in chaos.
"Ha ha, Brother Xue Yue's words are declaring war on our Jin Sui army?"
After thinking about it, he changed his words and said, "Well, no, is it a declaration of war on our Third Legion?"
Especially when it comes to the words of our Third Army, his tone is very strong. Obviously, he wants to point out his relationship with the central government of the Republic of China and Lao Jiang at this time, so that the other party can be afraid.
Consciousness is that if Xue Yue dares to declare war on the Third Army, it is equivalent to declaring war on the government of the Republic of China and even other brother troops, and the consequences still need to be weighed.
Unfortunately, there is no one else standing in front of him, but Xue Yue, who is independent and dares to openly oppose Lao Jiang's ideas!
When Xue Yue heard this, he snorted coldly, and his eyes were full of contemptuousness. He replied proudly, "Well, what the third army? In the final analysis, it's just a pawn in Lao Jiang's hand. Yan Xishan, you think others are afraid of you, and I, Xue, are still afraid that you can't do it. In my opinion, Lao Jiang is good, and you are just playing by means. Some smart people have won several battles. What if I declare war on you and declare war on Lao Jiang?
"Hm?"
When Du Haisheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning and snorting in his nose.
"With that, I won't be your enemy. You are in Shanxi and I'm in Shanghai. As long as you don't cross the thunder pool, why do I have to trouble you!"
Xue Yue saw Du Haisheng's solemn expression and knew that what he had said just now was too big. He quickly went to recycle and found another reason to explain it. This is on the point. As long as Yan Xishan does not cross the Yangtze River and does not go to Shanghai, the rest has nothing to do with himself. As for Du Haisheng's Meaning, until now, Xue Yue hinted several times, but still didn't get a positive answer from the other party.
"Is that so?"
Yan Xishan sneered when he heard this, and he was no longer polite at this time. "Brother Xue Yue said so, but he wanted to take out some real skills to prevent my army from entering Shanghai. Let me see if you have this ability. Even if the iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is a man, no matter how advanced the arms and weapons are, it is only more than 100,000 people. I have hundreds of thousands of troops. Do you think you can beat them?
"All right!"
At this time, Du Haisheng interrupted the conversation again, took a look at Xue Yue, motioned him not to speak, and finally turned his eyes to Yan Xishan.
"Sir Yan, you have come from afar. Since you have this heart and want to see the combat effectiveness of my Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, if I say no, wouldn't it say that I'm someone, General Xue, General Sun Chuanfang is a little too stingy, as if the officers of my Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army are all presmotious and don't know how to be smart. Since you want to see it, then look at it, It doesn't matter. Of course, if you want to fight, you can fight. I don't be afraid of someone. General Xue and General Sun are not afraid. The hot-blooded men of more than 100,000 iron-blooded 18th Army are never afraid to fight with any powerful army. Your words are right. Are you a paper tiger? You can't help but comment on it. Seeing is believing!"
"This..."
Du Haisheng's words, Xue Yue, Sun Chuanfang, Tang Shengzhi and Kong Xuan couldn't help looking at each other. Obviously, his words also indicate that after a while, the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army will be officially open to these people.
That is to say, the mysterious 18th Iron-blooded Army, and even the three direct brigades, may also be exposed in the eyes of everyone...
