Arms Merchant of the Republic of China

Chapter 664: Set the World in World War One!

They originally thought that Du Haisheng would find a way to merge the adapted Tiger and Wolf Division into the establishment of the First Army. Even if they considered their emotions and reactions, they would put the control of the two independent divisions in their own hands as much as possible, but they didn't expect that what Wu Peifu announced was still present. People are very surprised and incredible.

They all cast an inquiring look at Du Haisheng, but the answer was that the other party nodded affirmatively.

Everyone was puzzled, but they knew that I was afraid that this matter had become a fact, which meant that the tiger and wolf divisions adapted from the death sickle became the army that Wu Peifu could control.

However, everyone thought of a problem almost in an instant. Wu Peifu just said that the commander-in-chief of the two independent divisions of Hulang was directly assigned, but he did not say that the deputy commander-in-chief did not have the right to be transferred. If the deputy commander-in-chief could also be transferred... There was only one commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion, and the deputy commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief is Du Haisheng.

So if the facts they envision are established, in addition to Wu Peifu, Du Haisheng also has the right to allocate two independent divisions, which is not difficult to understand why the other party agreed to such a decision.

In fact, when Du Haisheng found himself to say this matter before, Wu Peifu was also very surprised. He looked unbelievable and was not inferior to everyone's expression at this time. There is no such a good thing in the world. There may be something to drop the pie, but it will never fall on his head easily, but he can see Du Haisheng Ken. With a fixed look, he still agreed with some doubt.

If you don't agree to such a good thing, isn't it no different from fools and fools?

However, Du Haisheng did not tell him whether his deputy commander-in-chief also had the right to allocate, and Wu Peifu could only deal with it vaguely when announcing the news.

Although the tiger and wolf divisions are not his direct line, and both Wu Yinghui and Duan Tianhu have an extremely close relationship with Du Haisheng, this does not prevent him from dispatching the two independent divisions. What he has been worried about for many days has not happened, and what Du Haisheng gave him is still an extremely god. Secret, an elite force with great combat effectiveness.

What's wrong with even Du Haisheng controlling this force?

In fact, Du Haisheng has his own plan to do this. In any case, Wu Peifu is a rare handsome talent with the absolute ability to lead the whole army. Although the six armies do not have any opposition, and even let him serve as the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan Iron and Blood Army, it is not what General Wu guessed. He let him nominally control the whole army, but in fact he did not have any military power.

But even so, Du Haisheng still saw Wu's thoughts and concerns. In order to make Wu Peifu feel a little balance and avoid too much suspicion, he made such a decision, and he made Wu Yinghui and Duan Tianhu as the division heads of the Tiger and Wolf Independent Division, which was also a counter measure. The reason why Divide the Death Scythe into two, and also divide the remaining 1,000 people into his first army in order to make the current forces more balanced, and he can still maintain a weak advantage. As for making Duan Tianhu the head of the division, it is another way for Du Haisheng to decompose Wu Yinghui's strength.

Although the Death Sickle is nominally his direct descendant, Du Haisheng has never really played with them. Wu Yinghui is upright and rigid. There are many prototypes in history. They are all stupid and loyal people who will not easily defect, while Wei Yixiong and the Zhou family Although Kang and Kang also looked like they didn't eat the world's fireworks, Du Haisheng still saw some problems from their eyes and behavior.

The two are not really rigid and dull. They just deliberately hide their true thoughts. The more they are, the more dangerous they are, and the more they have to defend secretly.

Therefore, he decided to let Duan Tianhu serve as the head of the wolf division. In this way, the Tiger and Wolf Independent Division is his absolute confidant, especially Duan Tianhu, who is the leader and will never have two hearts. At that time, if Wu Peifu has other ideas, I'm afraid that he wants to mobilize the two independent divisions of Tiger and Wolf. Impossible.

This also means that he is the real controller of the two independent divisions of Tiger and Wolf.

This decision, one stone and three birds, first: it indirectly helped Wu Peifu, so that he was no longer suspicious, and also more balanced the military strength of the various armies of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion. Second, through the tenure of Duan Tianhu, he further strengthened his control over these two independent divisions. Third, it was to let Sun Chuanfang and Huang Jinrong. Let's see how broad-minded he is, and he has no second heart for the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion.

He is too happy that it is too late to make such a decision that he can get so many benefits. Naturally, he will not object.

However, Duan Tianhu himself has some ideas, but on such an occasion, he has to choose to accept them first. As for other questions, wait until the end of the meeting, and then ask the old stool.

The meeting began at 11:30 p.m. and lasted until about 5 p.m.

Even at lunchtime, Du Haisheng just ordered the canteen to make some for them and send them over, and hurriedly ate in the military headquarters to continue the meeting.

During the meeting, there was another fierce debate about the future development direction of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Legion. Du Haisheng did not reserve opinions on the attitude of both sides like the last Zhouzhuang military meeting, and it seemed ambiguous to everyone. This time, his attitude was a little loose, although the words were still a little elusive. But judging from his attitude and expression, he seems to be more inclined to send troops.

However, this topic is not over in the end. After all, such a major decision is related to the lives and future fate of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Jiangnan Iron-blooded Army. It is definitely not possible to reach a consensus in one or two closed-door meetings. If there are differences, then sit down and talk about it until all Differences have been eliminated.

Compared with the last comprehensive disagreement, the differences between conservatives and radicals this time are much smaller, focusing more on how to get out, the consequences after going out and other matters.

and decided that a military meeting for the second closed-door consultation will be held in a month.

In addition to the above two points, there is another thing that everyone is most concerned about is the Battle of the Central Plains between the crusade led by Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others and Jiang in Nanjing. In view of the current situation, the changes in the military strength of the two armies, and various situations that may occur in the future on the battlefield. It has been discussed in detail.

Du Haisheng aimed the spearhead directly at Zhang Zongchang. If he wants to make a difference, he must start from this big scum that is not as good as a beast.

"I don't think it's time to fully understand the outcome of the future confrontation between the two armies."

Xue Yue took Sun Chuanfang's words, stood up, took the baton in the other party's hand, came to the huge military map hanging on the wall of the conference room, and pointed to several of them and said, "In this Central Plains, the main forces of the two sides are concentrated in Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu and other places and along the Longhai line. In China, the battle situation between Henan, Anhui and Shandong is the most fierce and cruel. At present, Liu Zhi's troops in Xuchang, Xinzheng and other places in Henan Province were madly attacked by the troops under the jurisdiction of Feng Yuxiang. They stagnated and retreated. On the front line of Shandong, Chen Tianyuan's reserve team and Zhang Zongchang's Shandong army were attacked by Yan Xishan and Shi Yousan. Sun Dianying and Sun Liangcheng's allied forces are suppressed on the front line of Liaocheng, Dezhou, Jining and Zaozhuang. The space for activities has become narrower and narrower. Moreover, the allied forces of Yan Xishan are determined to eat the posture of Chen Diaoyuan's troops.

"The meaning of Army General Yue, the final winner of this Central Plains Congress is likely to be the coalition under the leadership of Yan Xishan and Feng Yuxiang?"

Tang Shengzhi looked sideways at Xue Yue pointing on the military map and asked.

"No!" Xue Yue shook his head and replied affirmatively, "Just now, Xue has said that although this war seems clear now, in fact, the key is still in one place. If you win, you will win the whole game. If you lose, I'm afraid you will lose the whole thing. Although Shandong, Henan, Anhui and Shanxi have been connected. The army firmly controls the situation, but it is not without the possibility of accidents.

"I don't know where the so-called key place is for Mr. Xue?"

This sentence was asked by Du Haisheng. In fact, he already knew that in the current situation, the key place to decide the victory or defeat was in Wuhan, Hubei, but he deliberately pretended to be very confused.

"Hubei."

Sure enough, Xue Yue and Du Haisheng think exactly the same.

Seeing that everyone didn't say anything, Xue Yue said, "To be precise, it's Wuhan."

Then he turned his head and said, "Look here, Wuhan is the capital of Hubei Province, the transportation of the Republic of China, and the second economic city of the Republic of China after Shanghai. Here, there is not only a strong enough economic, industrial and commercial foundation, but also Hanyang Military Factory, Hanyang. A large number of military enterprises, such as iron factories and Hubei gun factories, guard the natural danger of the Yangtze River and occupy the city of the fortress. Moreover, it is the starting point and end point of the Pinghan Railway and the Guangdong-Han Railway. It is connected with Henan in the north, Anhui in the east, Jiangxi and Hunan provinces in the southeast and south, Chongqing in the west, and Shaanxi Province in the northwest. The strategic position is extremely important. "

When they heard this, everyone, including Du Haisheng, nodded repeatedly. As an important economic town and one of the strategic centers in the Republic of China, Wuhan deserves to become a must-have place for soldiers. Moreover, Wuhan also has waterways to guard the Yangtze River. The railway controls the north and south, and the geographical location is extremely important. This is why it is not Whether it is the Communist International or the reason why the revolutionary army under the leadership of Mr. Sun Yat-sen launched an uprising in Wuchang.

And now, Yan Xishan, Feng Yuxiang and Jiang in Nanjing have gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Hubei, which is obviously the last step.

The world will be determined by the first battle!
