    Chapter 249: Failure off the court (Part 2)

    The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but people in Beijing are getting colder. Since Nanjing has been set as the capital of the Republic of China, everyone knows that it will be a matter of time before the capital moves to the north and becomes lonely.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????There are obviously a lot less customers in the teahouses and taverns, and the grand scene of the Bada Hutongs is gradually disappearing. It is said that many girls have planned to go south to the Qinhuai River to continue the skin and flesh trade.  Now the most talked about in the city is no longer who dominates the world, but the reason why Yuan Shikai is paralyzed and bedridden and whether a war will break out between China and Japan.

    Duan Qirui put on his military uniform and hung the medals all over his chest. Nowadays, the Beiyang Medal has long been worthless, but he insists on wearing it neatly every day, as if if he wears less medals, he will be looked down upon by others.  After he was dressed neatly, Wu Guangxin walked in. He frowned when he saw so many pieces on his chest. He secretly said that his brother-in-law is good at everything, but this habit is bad. Now is the unification negotiation related to Beiyang's future. He went to the meeting with such arrogance.  As soon as we sat down in the room, it was no wonder that after several days of talks, no charter came out.

    But he didn¡¯t ask much, because now Beiyang has been divided into two groups. One group is Liang Shiyi, Yang Du from the Transportation Department, and Chen Huan from the First Army, who believe that power should be completely delegated.  In the first wave, Duan Qirui, Duan Zhigui, Lu Jianzhang and Cao Kun believed that even if Beiyang was merged into the National Defense Forces, the original affiliations of each division should remain unchanged.

    Liang Shiyi robbed the money, and Duan Qirui had the backing of the Second Army, so the two factions are now fighting fiercely.

    Wu Guangxin is Duan Qirui's adopted brother (brother-in-law). He was originally considered to take over the 20th Division in place of Lu Yongxiang. However, the important position of guarding the main road outside Shanhaiguan and this brother-in-law's eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling are really not reassuring, so Fu Liangzuo had to be asked to take over.  I saw him and asked, "Is the car ready?"

    "Waiting downstairs." Wu Guangxin patted his briefcase: "This is the proposal for today's peace talks, and I have it with me."

    Duan Qirui glanced at the briefcase, picked up the gun and hung it on his waist and asked: "How is the palace security?"

    Wu Guangxin curled his lips with a look of disdain: "It's not like that. I can't move when I'm lying on the bed. Only Yang Shiqi is still standing by. Several aunts and wives in the family are now having a falling out over property. Yesterday, Yuan Keding wanted to  I sold all the calligraphy and paintings at home, and ended up fighting with Yuan Kewen."

    "Shameless person!" Duan Qirui gritted his teeth and cursed secretly. Although Yuan Shikai couldn't move, he was his old boss after all. He sighed and said, "Go and take care of anyone. If anyone does this again, don't blame me."  give face."

    Wu Guangxin understood what he meant. Although Yuan Shikai fell, there were still many people facing him. Helping him handle the housework could also win over those people. He was about to turn around to make a call but stopped: "By the way, Wu Wenjue called just now.  He said that we should open the train station and allow two brigades of the National Defense Force to go north to Fengtian to prevent the Japanese from sneaking into the Northeast."

    Hearing this request, Duan Qirui couldn't help but slap the table: "Does this Yang Qiu really want to force us to death?"

    Wu Guangxin did not dare to answer. If the Zhili section of the Jinghan Line and the Jingfeng Line were opened and two brigades were allowed to pass through, it would be the same as sending one brigade to support Dongying. It would be equivalent to outflanking the Beiyang back road, but wouldn't it be allowed?  Now the National Defense Forces have the final say. If they really offend others and continue to fight, no one will get any good results.  So Duan Qirui was angry, and finally nodded: "Let it go, let it go! It's like this anyway, there's no need to waste it, and in the end someone will stab you in the back."

    After explaining the opening of the railway, the two drove to the meeting place. As soon as they got off the car, they saw Liang Shiyi and Yang Du arriving, and they walked in with a cold snort.

    Looking at his back, Yang Du sighed, these old Beiyang still didn't understand one thing. How could Yang Qiu allow them to continue to exist?  Yang Qiu wants to be a soldier, but people If they cooperate honestly, they may still be able to keep their jobs. If they want to build a small mountain this is the fate of the second Democratic Party.

    After walking into the conference room with Liang Shiyi, a figure he hadn't seen for a long time suddenly stopped him. Even Duan Qirui, who came in first, frowned.

    Feng Huafu!

    What is this old guy doing here?

    Wu Tingfang and Wang Zhengting were chatting and laughing with Feng Guozhang. When they saw the four of them, they immediately stood up: "Haha, we are all old acquaintances. There is no need to greet each other. Why don't we start today's meeting?"

    Duan Qirui suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart and turned to look at Feng Guozhang, but old man Feng turned around and pretended that he hadn't seen him. He couldn't help but lowered his voice: "Brother Wen Jue, Hua Fu  .?"

    Wang Zhengting was the first to smile and said: "General Feng has accepted the appointment of the President and Vice President and agreed to serve as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army." After he finished speaking, he pretended to slap his forehead and raised his voice a few times: "Look at me.  Remember, in this meeting aboutThe First Army's reorganization plan and Xuzhou can be eliminated, because General Chen Huan and the entire First Army have agreed to the reorganization plan last night, and Xuzhou also opened the door last night.  "

    Feng Guozhang serves as deputy chief of staff?  Chen Huan has surrendered his weapons!  Xuzhou is gone too?  The three pieces of news were so shocking that Duan Qirui was speechless for a long time. Looking at Wu Tingfang and Wang Zhengting with smiles on their lips, he really had the idea of ??going to Wuchang to beat up Yang Qiu. This guy  The roads are all blocked.

    Yang Qiu, who used Feng Guozhang to check and balance Duan Qirui, was not at all proud. At the moment, he was discussing the production situation with several technicians at the Hankou Tractor Factory.

    After improvements and the adoption of the assembly line method first used by Hubei Industrial Company, Hankou Tractor Factory has vaguely resembled a modern large factory.  In the factory, more than two dozen tractor chassis are arranged in two columns, and workers are assembling the tractors with imported components.

    As the first imported tractor factory, it currently produces American wheeled and tracked 77 steam tractors. Like all new heavy factories, due to the lack of design, it can only temporarily assemble parts made in the United States.  To achieve the purpose of training workers and cultivating their own design team.

    The chassis lined up in a row made Yang Qiu seem to see the shadow of some tank factories in old photos, but he also knew that without three to five years of training, even if he could build a "water tank" for World War I, it would not be able to scale. Fortunately, it was  He is not in a hurry for these gold-swallowing monsters. On the contrary, after the reunification of Henan, Shaanxi and other places, there is an urgent need for large-scale reclamation machinery to develop agriculture and forestry. The most important thing is.

    "How many vehicles can be built per month now?" Yang Qiu found a place to sit down and asked the two young technicians around him.

    Wu Qingdu and Yuan Zhongquan are both 26 years old this year. They were the first batch of students to study in the United States during the Gengzi Year in 1906. They studied electrical and mechanical engineering at the University of Illinois and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology respectively.

    It is not that there was no talent in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The total number of overseas students who received compensation in the Gengzi Year alone in the three batches reached 170.  Machinery, chemistry, biomedicine, petroleum mineral resources, agriculture, forestry and water conservancy, business administration and even ship and warship design, etc., there are many in all walks of life, plus private students who go to Europe and the United States on their own, and children of overseas Chinese who have received higher education, if  The total amount is very large.

    Therefore, he paid attention to attracting these talents very early. Not only did he send people to the United States early to sign generous contracts with all three batches of students who studied in the United States during the Gengzi Year indemnity, he also introduced more than 500 civilians and overseas Chinese through different channels.  , these people are generally between the ages of 20 and 35, and many of them have joined the newly built factories in Southwest China. There are more than 300 people in his three private companies in Hubei, Chongqing and Jiangnan alone.

    According to his idea, together with the international students who have not yet graduated from the Gengzi Year, the overseas students he has sent abroad one after another, and the talents introduced through private channels, we can initially establish the Xiangtan chemical industry circle in Hanyang, Chongqing, Shanghai, Mawei, Fujian, and Pingxiang.  If the five major talent bases are added to the talents cultivated by several universities in the southwest and universities and technical schools across the country, there will be no problem in establishing a Chinese technical team of tens of thousands in ten years. These people will cooperate with the imported Austrian talents.  Hungary, Russia and other technical experts can basically get rid of external dependence and ensure the needs of national construction.

    The two were also excited to be responsible for such a large project as soon as they returned to China. They said: "With assembly parts, we can currently manufacture about 20 vehicles per month. Because the United States provides the drawings, we are slowly transitioning to completely self-built."  , it is expected that all spare parts will be produced by ourselves in one year at the latest.¡±

    20 vehicles per month is really nothing. Even if the second factory in Hunan is put into operation in a year, it will only double the production. So he got up and walked to a chassis and pointed at the steel beams and said: "Our workers cannot compare with Europe and the United States in terms of quantity, so  We cannot be too demanding on workers in this regard. We must optimize and tap current human resources through engineering design. For example, there are many spare parts on such a tractor. When I just heard your introduction, you said that most of the spare parts are prepared to be produced by ourselves.  , in fact, this is completely unnecessary.¡±

    Yang Qiu introduced the method of standardizing parts in later generations in detail, and said: "It is really a lot of work to do this now, because you need to standardize all parts, but once the foundation is laid, you can outsource the parts to other factories across the country.  , such as Jiangnan, Jinling, Mawei, and even private Qiuxin shipyards, Hanyang Yaozhou Machinery Factory, Guangdong Xiehe Factory, Tianjin Dagu, etc. You only need to strictly control the quality of standard parts, so that they can have jobs and money  Earn, you are only responsible for the main components and assembly, and the labor can be much faster with ease. If you develop new models in the future, you should also consider using standard parts and try to make some equipment of the old model and the new model interchangeable, so that  Develop the enterprise and form our own national brand.¡±

    Not to mention the two of them, Jiang Fangzhen, Liu Qingen and others who accompanied the visit also had their eyes lit up. Everyone in future generations will know.After everyone was calmed down by the industrial standardization and streamlining of ?, Yang Qiucai smiled slightly and asked Lei Meng to get a thick briefcase and handed it to the two of them: "These are the chassis drawings of several small tractors I bought. They use  Internal combustion engines, let me do some research for you. Large steam tractors can be promoted in the northwest and north, and small ones with dense water networks in the south have advantages."

    Yang Qiuna had time to buy some small tractor chassis drawings. What he gave was the chassis of several light tanks in the parallel world, including the French Renault FT-17, the German No. 1 tank, the American M3, M24, the Czech LT35, etc. However,  He is also right. Tank chassis and tractors can be used interchangeably. Let them study it first so that they will not be in a hurry in the future.

    The two of them were immediately attracted by these detailed drawings. Among them, the independent coil springs, all-steel single-pin track shoes, leaf spring balanced suspension, gearbox and transmission design made them stare.  Not to mention anything else, thick spiral springs alone cannot be manufactured by the Chongqing Industrial Company's Special Steel Plant, which just bought a set of second-hand mild steel equipment from Sweden.

    Yang Qiu also knew that he couldn¡¯t make it, but that didn¡¯t stop him from researching it first.

    The two of them were originally obsessed with mechanical motors, so they were unwilling to let go of the drawings. Later, even the technicians from Hubei Industrial Company who accompanied them to visit were involved. After seeing their eyes full of stars, Yang Qiu simply let them go by themselves.  After researching, he only told him that special personnel must be sent to guard the drawings to prevent them from being leaked, and then he and Jiang Fangzhen left the tractor factory.

    Liu Qingen knew best what the technology provided by Yang Qiu meant, so he explained it several times. Seeing him being so cautious, everyone nodded.

    "I didn't expect the Commander-in-Chief to know so many technologies, standardized procurement of parts, unified assembly" After leaving the door, Jiang Fangzhen was still thinking about his words, and the way he muttered to himself made Yang Qiu dumbfounded: "I  Principal, please stop meddling in these things and help me figure out how to deal with Japan."

    Speaking of Japan, Jiang Fangzhen became much more serious: "Judging from the current domestic situation in Japan, a large-scale war is definitely impossible, but small-scale retaliation exists. However, if you want to make a correct judgment, you must first understand why the Japanese Army took the risk this time.  "

    "Yeah, I can't figure this out either. It stands to reason that they should know that entering Shandong will be opposed by us. Even if we don't take action, Germany will not give up, so" Yang Qiu said to himself  When Yu said this, he suddenly thought of something and suddenly looked at Jiang Fangzhen. The latter's eyes were also a little froze after seeing it.

    "I see!"

    Yang Qiu clapped his hands and wanted to understand why Japan wanted to enter Shandong when the international environment was different. It should be said that this was a self-directed and self-directed plan by the Japanese Army!  The reason is the strange circle that has been hovering over the Japanese Army for decades.

    Kwantung Army!

    If the ghost of the Japanese Navy is the so-called Eighth-Eight Fleet, then the militarists in the Japanese Army have been dreaming of establishing the Kwantung Army since the Sino-Japanese War of 1891-1891 to defend the Kanto Prefecture (Japan calls itself the Liaodong Peninsula and Southern Manchuria as the Kanto Prefecture) and as a troop dispatch  China's outpost, but due to factors such as the severe decline in national power after the Russo-Japanese War and the disruption of the Constitutional Council, the Japanese Army has not been able to implement its plan to form two new divisions in North Korea. For this reason, the two administrations of Saionji Konobo and Katsura Taro were dismissed.  He was forced to resign. It was not until the Siemens incident broke out and Okuma Shigenobu, who was supported by Yamagata Aritomo, came to power that he formally determined the prototype of the Kwantung Army by adding two divisions to Korea.

    The Kwantung Army later not only became a nightmare for China, but also devoured a large amount of funds from the Japanese Army, causing limited resources to be consumed in the vast Northeast and Siberia regions. Later, the Kwantung Army was transferred to the Pacific battlefield, which also meant that Japan was officially in decline.

    Seeing Jiang Fangzhen, he was still a little confused. When Yang Qiu was about to give his analysis, Cai Gongshi hurried over: "I just received the Nanjing telegram. According to the latest news, the Japanese government and Congress formally approved the establishment of the 19th and 20th Divisions yesterday afternoon.  According to the bill, both units will be deployed to South Manchuria and North Korea."

    Looking at the telegram, Yang Qiu figured out a lot of things and smiled bitterly in his heart.

    He still lost to old guys like Shanxian Youpeng. The sacrifice of a mere brigade resulted in the emergence of two divisions and the Kwantung Army. If it were for him, he would have done this deal.

    Looking back on myself, I ate up a whole brigade, but released a tiger into the Northeast early!  If you want to fight, you must deploy at least 3 to 4 divisions, and put 4 elite divisions in the northeast. When Qingdao starts fighting next year, you will need at least 5 divisions, and you will need at least 3 divisions in the northwest, plus the hinterland  I don¡¯t have that many troops at all.

    It¡¯s all nonsense that Japan only made preparations to attack Qingdao in 1914!  How could those old foxes in Shan County Youpeng not see the impending situation in Europe, so they have been quietly deploying it for a long time.  I am just a tool used by others to blackmail the government and Congress!  If it does not appear, China will continue to remain divided and military.Separate regimes, this old guy wouldn't care about forming two more divisions immediately, but now that China is unified, he must consider containing some of the troops, and then wait for the two major groups to go to war to capture Qingdao or even the entire Shandong!

    "***! Go tell Duan Qirui and give him ten days If the negotiation is not over after ten days, we will stop talking!" Under the gaze of Jiang Fangzhen, Cai Gongshi and others, Yang Qiu cursed  Crushed the telegram into a ball.

    "Outfieldhe was completely defeated this time
