    Chapter 1** We are worried about the Japanese Navy

    At the beginning of the lights, in the office on the second floor of the Shanghai headquarters of the National Socialist Party, Yang Qiu sat under the desk lamp and reviewed documents. This kind of work has been busy every day since he boarded the inspection tour. Especially this time when he came to Shanghai, he saw him every day.  There are endless people, there are endless customers, and it is rare to have free time and there is a steady stream of telegrams from Wuchang.

    Although Tang Shaoyi was appointed as the Director-General of Civil Affairs and used his influence to attract a large number of talents, and even many overseas Chinese joined the National Socialist Party, there were some things that he could not make decisions on, especially matters related to the military.  , because Yang Qiu implemented a strict principle of separation of military and political affairs, which ensured the greatest extent of the disadvantages of military intervention in government, but brought endless documents.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The guard division adopts the two-brigade system he established. Each brigade consists of 3 regiments, 9 battalions, 27 companies, and 81 platoons. Each platoon has 4 squads, using a 12-person squad system, for a total of 324 squads.  Add officers, artillery, officers, engineers, baggage, etc. for a total of 13,252 people!  In order to quickly form combat effectiveness, in addition to the current two regiment guard companies, two battalions of veterans from each of the five divisions will be selected, and 3,000 elite soldiers will be selected from the Yunnan Army and the Guangxi Army.  Recruits were selected on merit, and all soldiers must be young people who voluntarily joined the National Socialist Party or the Youth Corps. Officers were selected from guard companies and officer schools, and insufficient ones were drawn from various units.

    In order to ensure that it becomes the core mobile force, the guard division is also built according to the goal of being the strongest in Asia in terms of armaments. The new 1912-type 7.62 mm rifle is made in Germany, one Han-1 modified machine gun for each squad, and 4 newly developed for each platoon.  For successful 50mm grenades, each company has two 80mm mortars. The regiment needs to add 6 80mm, 4 120mm mortars and 2 heavy machine guns. It also needs to add 4 70mm infantry guns.  , the brigade simply organized an artillery regiment consisting of 12 120mm mortars and 36 70mm infantry guns.

    According to this calculation, each division will have 13,112 rifles (senior officers are not equipped with rifles), 1,866 pistols, 8 heavy machine guns, 350 light machine guns (including special agent companies, etc.), 324 grenade launchers, 104 mortars, 48  70mm infantry cannon, 1,500 bicycles, and 1,100 mules and horses.  If it were manufactured from scratch, Hubei Industrial Company, which currently cannot meet the design requirements, would need to work at full capacity for four months to fully arm the two divisions!

    But even with such powerful infantry firepower, the staff is obviously not satisfied. It plans to use the exchanged Krupp 105mm howitzers and the imitation guns of the same caliber that are being started to form four 36-gun artillery regiments. In addition to the first division and  In addition to the second division, the other two will all be assigned to the guard division.  But this involves a problem, the number of mules and horses is seriously insufficient!  Since the 1.3-ton 105mm howitzer cannot be dismantled, in addition to purchasing horses from Yunnan and Xikang, people will also be sent to Mongolia to buy horses. It is also recommended for the first time to purchase about 300 trucks from abroad. It is best to introduce technology and wait for the tractor factory.  After it is put into production in the middle of the year, another truck line will be opened. Even if the manufacturing speed is slower and the quality is poor, we can slowly reserve technology.

    Truck technology does not need to be imported. There are enough military truck samples in the data machine that can be copied, but the truck production line is quite expensive. No matter how simple it is, it will cost about 300,000 US dollars.  Calculated in this way, plus the required auxiliary equipment such as mules and horses, kettles, engineer shovels, and three base ammunition, it would cost a huge 6 million to form these two divisions alone, which is equivalent to Guangxi's previous year's fiscal revenue!  Compared to a standard World War II mule-horse division, this amount of money does not seem large, but it is the end of 1912, and decades of inflation have not been taken into account. If you add truck production equipment yes  The financial pressure of Southwest, which is on the line of bankruptcy, is too great.

    Yang Qiu rubbed his eyebrows vigorously. This scene made Miao Luo feel a little heartbroken. After making him a cup of coffee, he came over and rubbed his temples for him: "You can't finish the work, don't hurt your body."

    "This is the document for the formation of two new armies. Song Ziqing and the others are still waiting for my reply." Yang Qiu pushed the formation document forward, leaned on the back of the chair, held Miao Luo's hands and smiled: "Let's finish it early.  We can grow stronger earlier and regain the lost national destiny earlier.¡±

    Miao Luo secretly glanced at the final cost and was shocked by the number. He asked, "So much money! It's enough to build a new shipyard."

    Yang Qiu blinked his eyes deliberately, and suddenly hugged her waist and forced her to sit on him. After a few cooings, he teased: "Are you afraid that I won't have the money to marry you?"  After being together for so many days, Miao Luo became a lot more courageous. She rolled her eyes charmingly and scratched his nose, and deliberately curled her lips: "Who said I want to marry you?"

    "Eh? Why do I remember that there was someone who kept telling me to marry you last night? I want to marry" After hearing what he said about the shameful things last night, Miao Luo couldn't resist and his body became weak.  , quickly covered his mouth with his hands: "Don't say it! You just want to bully me, um"

      Before he could finish a sentence, his ruddy mouth was gagged. A moment later, a big hand penetrated his pajamas. When the all-pervasive strange hand covered his chest, Miao Luo fell again.  , when the snorting sound was about to lead to a violent storm, an untimely knock on the door rang.

    The knock on the door frightened Miao Luo, who quickly covered her exposed breasts, glared fiercely, and walked into the bedroom next to her.  Yang Qiu felt frustrated when his delicious food was disturbed. He smiled dumbly and took a deep breath before letting people in.

    The person who came in was 26-year-old Murong Han, a gentle and elegant young man wearing glasses. He was one of the Chinese children in the United States recruited through the American Zhi Gong Tang. He graduated from Columbia University in the United States, majoring in law and politics.  Since Dong Yongweiliude and Chen Guofu took on more party affairs work in the National Socialist Party, after half a year of training, he emerged as Yang Qiu's political secretary. As for the military secretary, no one has been selected yet, so Jiang Fangzhen can only serve concurrently.  , wait until you return to Wuchang and choose the best.

    Murong Han also wore the badge of the Youth Corps of the National Socialist Party on his chest. When he got closer and smelled the fragrance in the air, he secretly laughed in his heart and said: "Chairman and Principal Jiang are here, and they also brought an officer named Zhang Xiaozhun.  Waiting for you in the parlor."

    The youth corps of the National Socialist Party was formed by like-minded supporters in Bingwen and the Guard Company. It received strong support from Yang Qiu at the beginning. As its influence expanded, it gradually developed into the military and political system, absorbing a large number of people who identified with the national society.  Young people who are fanatical about democratic theory claim to be followers of Yang Qiu. They usually call him Chairman instead of Sir or Commander, so Yang Qiu is not surprised by this title. However, the arrival of Zhang Xiaozhun surprised him.

    Murong Han grew up overseas. Except for Sun Wen and a few other non-commissioned officers, Murong Han did not know any of the three outstanding non-commissioned officers. Moreover, they only had Yang Qiu and the National Socialist Party in their eyes. I am afraid that even Yuan Shikai would not show the slightest surprise in front of the door.

    Zhang Xiaozhun was not handsome, and he was relatively introverted. When he saw Yang Qiu, he just saluted, and then sat next to him and looked at him carefully.  Yang Qiu is also looking at him. Among the three outstanding sergeants in the parallel world, he may be the least famous and the least lucky, but he also chose the path of going to Japan first and then studying in Germany. Having spent many years in Europe and the United States, his vision is better than Cai  E is more generous, but it is a pity that he returned to China without success in his studies. After returning, he met Huang Keqiang and Tan Yankai, who were both incompetent. In the end, he was inactive and resorted to drinking to relieve his sorrows all year round. He even died suddenly due to a hangover.

    "Baili, Runnong and Songpo just make up a mahjong table. After Brother Songpo is ready, we might as well play eight rounds before talking about heroes." Yang Qiu laughed and joked: "You two  Is this okay?"

    Jiang Fangzhen was amused and said with a smile: "I think this suggestion is very good. I took Runnong to visit the shipyard just now. He said that you are the richest in the world and decided to come to your place to eat and drink for free and use your power to rob the rich and help the poor."  .¡±

    Just now, I was just trying to find out, but I didn¡¯t expect that Jiang Fangzhen had already convinced Zhang Xiaozhun to join the National Defense Force. Yang Qiu suddenly became excited, and fearing that he was just trying to make him happy, he asked: "Brother Runnong, is this serious?"

    Jiang Fangzhenao, Cai Songpomou, and Zhang Xiaozhun were not good at talking and were somewhat introverted. They stood up and said, "Zhang Xiaozhun has met the commander."

    Since he called the commander, Yang Qiu knew that he had chosen to go to the army. After thinking about it, he said: "The guard division is being formed and we need senior staff officers. Brother Baili is devoted to his studies. Unfortunately, Songpo was seriously injured. Brother Runnong, if you don't mind, please help me take care of it."  Forget about those boys, how about you also have a name at the General Staff Headquarters?" On the way here, Jiang Fangzhen briefly introduced the news that Yang Qiu was going to form two of the strongest infantry divisions in Asia. He didn't expect to become one of them right after he came.  He was very happy to be able to show off his talents and saluted quickly: "Everything will follow the commander's arrangements."

    After settling Zhang Xiaozhun's position, Jiang Fangzhen took off his hat and hooked it on his fingertips. His expression gradually became serious: "On the way back just now, Runnong and I analyzed it and felt that Yuan Shikai's illness seems to be a coincidence. If it is not bad as expected,  I'm afraid"

    "Are you angry that Mr. Dunchu and I teamed up?" Yang Qiu pointed to his nose. In fact, he had already guessed this possibility. After all, Yuan Shikai didn't understand party politics very well. He suffered a big loss in the parallel world. Now because of his own loss,  Big!  Even the certainty of using force is much smaller, and it is not impossible to get sick due to anger.

    I don¡¯t know whether he was serious in speech or just like this when talking about business. Zhang Xiaozhun¡¯s face was more serious than Jiang Fangzhen¡¯s, and he obviously entered the state of a staff officer. He said: ¡°The strongest thing in Beiyang is not the army. In terms of army strength and equipment, we are actually not bad. As long as we relax.  Po can stabilize Yunnan as soon as possible, and he can fight with half a year's preparation! From Runnong's point of view, the really scary thing is the intricate forces that are attached to it, from the Manchus to Mongolia, from Guangdong to outside the customs, Shaanxi-Gansu, Xinjiang and even our southwest  Internally, no one dares to say that there is definitely no force that is interested in him. Britain and Zhu Erdian are his biggest backers, so the two of us strongly agree with the commander.The only way to use external force to prevent them from breaking apart is to avoid disaster Runnong feels that you should be careful, Japan!  "

    "Run Nong is right! The two of us have studied in Japan for many years, and have often dealt with Japan after returning to China, so we have a clear understanding of the extent of Japan's interests in China. If Han Yeping supports Yawat Steel, then our country will support it.  Japan!" Jiang Fangzhen also went on to say: "Japan lacks resources, and even rice can hardly meet the needs of its people. Therefore, after the Russo-Japanese War, the people's lives did not improve because of the country's strength. Instead, they became very bad because of the huge debt. If not  Relying on our country to repay foreign debts through plunder and plunder, Japan may have already been in turmoil, so Japan will definitely not want to see you come to power!"

    "The Japanese Army shrank greatly after the war. Although it has recovered some strength in the past two years, it is still not strong enough to defeat our country in one go. What we are worried about is" Zhang Xiaozhun glanced at the brightly lit shipbuilding outside the window.  Factory: "Navy! If Japan intervenes in this matter, then we will have no ability to fight against the Japanese Navy! With Taiwan as a base, the entire coast will not be stable."

    Yang Qiu nodded. In fact, he had been worried about this issue for the past few days. Although Japan did not directly send troops to intervene in the civil war in the early Republic of China in the parallel world, everything has changed now. Familiar events and characters have been changed. Deeply,  Being familiar with Japan's early weak policy towards China, he understood very well how worried a strong China would be for Japan. He was not afraid of the army, but the navy was indeed a big trouble!  When I think of the powerful maritime lineup deployed by Japan in the Battle of Qingdao between Japan and Germany, it is estimated that even the United States would not dare to intervene easily. Why should I interfere?

    It seems that we still need to do a big business with Germany.

    Thinking of this, Yang Qiu looked at his watch and stood up and made a motion to prepare the car to Murong Han: "I have an appointment with the German minister, how about Runnong come with me?"
