Chapter 1 The Northerners
Chapter 1 People from Beiyang
On July 16, central personnel, mainly Li Yuanhong, arrived in Suzhou, and Dengsen sent a battalion of mechanical regiments to escort them.
Just after getting off the train, Li Yuanhong and others left the train station, and a team of Iron Blood Army officers came in front of them. Some of these soldiers and officers also wore big caps, but another flat hat made everyone curious. The flat hat had no brim and was slightly off to the left. There was an iron-colored eagle on it, with a red armband on its arm showing off its power.
"Hello, Vice President, welcome you to our northern Anhui." Li Fang was greeted by Li Yuanhong. Deng Sen did not go to greet him in person. Tian Ding was responsible for the matter of northern Jiangsu and led his troops northwards and no longer in northern Anhui. Li Fang, as the third party in the military, naturally took this responsibility. Journalists from all over the country who came from behind Li Yuanhong picked up cameras to take pictures of the young senior officer of the Iron Blood Army shook hands with Li Yuanhong and others one by one.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, the convoy is ready." The Iron Blood Army was accompanied by the commander of the Mechanical Brigade, Tian Shi. He walked in front of everyone with his leather boots and made sounds. On his head was a steel hat similar to the military caps of tank soldiers in later generations. In the middle of the hat, people saw the iron-colored eagle again, as if all the Iron Blood Army troops were proud of the eagle.
No one noticed that the officer with a slanted hat, the soldiers with the same military cap under the commander behind, were Dengsen's secret guards and an elite guardian of the Iron Blood Army.
The general name of the legion is the Han National Blood Guard Attack Corps. The unit code is xs101. The first deputy military commander Peng Qingjin. The military commander is also served by Deng Sen. The staff is now only 2,500. All of them have been trained since the beginning. This is a force with strong firepower and fully mechanized forces.
The armored battalion of the Mechanical Brigade was incorporated into it, and most of the mortars were used here. Of course, Dunson would produce more mortars for the army in the future. Now, because all the mortars were requisitioned by the wartime army, the current secret troops only had five heavy machine guns, two full-body armored trucks, and seven semi-armored trucks.
The secret troops are divided into two parts: light and dark, one is x plainclothes Blood Guard soldiers, and the other is code-named S Whistle Blood Guard soldiers. The equipment of the whistle is not much different from that of the regular army, and it is more like an elite combat force.
The army had a short gun, and they had three standard grenades on their bodies, wearing casual clothes.
The grenade was made by Dunson after receiving support from the United States' machine tools, but the output was too small to only 3,000 pieces, so he did not invest in the war.
The secret troops were secretly whistle wearing ordinary people's clothes and constantly exploring them in secret. However, after all, the training was not long, and many people were still a little exposed. At least Jiang Baili could see that, but this time he had experienced the strictness of the Iron Blood Army. At least one-third of the people who came and went or stopped to watch were dressed in Iron Blood Army personnel, and some people, Jiang Baili couldn't tell whether they were civilians or armed personnel.
"Everyone, our head of state is waiting for everyone in the military headquarters. We can take the armored car together." The armored car is one of Dengsen's secret weapons now, but since it has been used on the battlefield, it is naturally not a secret, so this time we welcome this chariot directly.
"Boom..." Li Fang had just finished speaking, and a rumbling sound came from afar. The huge armored truck rushed over slowly, and the heavy volume was pressing on the road paved with stones.
"What kind of car is this?" Everyone looked at the giant vehicle that was more than three meters tall in surprise, especially the two hideous heavy machine guns on the car, which looked extremely terrifying, like the horns of a rhino.
"This is our Iron Blood Army's combat vehicles. Of course, no matter how many there are, I have no right to explain. This is our military secret. Now, please ask the central personnel to enter our armored vehicles. The reporters should board the light armored vehicles behind." It was Dengsen's request to carry the mission with armored vehicles. At the same time, no matter the missions of any country will be on the armored vehicles in the future. Dengsen wants them to clearly see the powerful military strength of the Iron Blood Army.
Everyone held an umbrella and came to the steel door behind the rear of the armored vehicle and flipped upwards. The heavy door required two strong soldiers to work hard to lift it to the groove and be fixed.
In the armored vehicle, they did not see the isolation layer between the truck compartment and the front of the vehicle. The undercarriage was paved with a layer of thick wooden boards, with marble-inlaid hardwood on both sides, which was hollow with the car wall. There were two rows of wooden benches on both sides of the car, which were obviously used for troop transport. The Warriors had a strange mirror in front of a five-meter-long carriage. When you look closer, you will see the scene in front of the car. This is a periscope, constructed using optical principles, sealed.
The outside situation can also be seen inside the vehicle body, and there is a machine gunner next to the driver. His seat is a little lower than that of the driver, and his hands are placed on the heavy machine gun. Unfortunately, when they fight, they need the machine gunner to install the bullet version by themselves, so the firepower is not very strong, but Li Yuanhong would not think so! He now understands why Beiyang lost as many as two divisions under the Iron Blood Army. How can such a vehicle that cannot penetrate the bullet but can fire heavy machine guns be defeated?
"The vehicle inspection has been completed, no abnormalities can be started." The sound of the report came, and all the armored vehicles asked the commander after they started.
"It can be started, and the personnel behind closed the gate." The commander checked again with his eyes and ordered that he could drive.
The weight of the armored vehicles is concentrated and almost cannot be bumped, so they are considered stable along the way. In addition, the roads in northern Anhui have been compacted and renovated, although trucks over one ton can still walk slowly.
"The defense is very strong and the firepower is also very strong, but the speed is extremely poor. This is definitely the most basic product. I think the Iron Blood Army will definitely step up the improvement." Jiang Baili is not a mechanical expert, but he knew the role he wanted to play in the war as soon as he saw this vehicle. It was a weapon for siege trenches. Unfortunately, the movement was too slow, and even if the enemy was defeated, it could not be annihilated. He believed that the Iron Blood Army would definitely change this defect, and he would definitely be able to see it at a glance. Those who did not believe in the Iron Blood Army could not see it.
"Everyone, our Lingbi Army headquarters is here, please get off the car. Our head of state will greet you in person outside the city." The captain who had been climbing the top window in the middle of the car came down and said mysteriously to Li Fangshen. Li Fangzhu replied with a smile.
"That's good, that's good..." Everyone smiled and catered to it. Although the car shocked them a lot, the airflow inside must be closed. The circulation of airflow was not very smooth, so after they felt fresh, they were very tired of the time here.
"Ah... this is Lingbi! Look at the building, which is both tall and luxurious in the West and the luxuriousness of our nation, it is really very different every second." As soon as I got off the car, Li Yuanhong and Jiang Baili heard the female reporters behind me chattering and exclaiming. They also looked along the twilight of the reporters. They saw that there were no two or three floors of the city walls, or even four or five floors of buildings fighting for beauty. Moreover, from this, Lingbi is huge, even no less than Beijing, and only those ports on the same side can be larger than the scale.
As houses were beaten up layer by layer, they could vaguely see thick smoke rolling out of the high chimneys. It was a factory, yes, it was a factory, and there were many, very dense factories. No one could imagine that there would be factories in northern Anhui, which had been established for only more than half a year. They all knew that it would not be a big factory, but from this, it could also be seen that the government's support for industry and commerce in the northern Anhui government.
As they thought, there are no big factories in northern Anhui now, they are flour mills, paper mills, garment factories, glass factories, etc. Such light industries must be easy to form, and the investment is not large, and the returns are fast to take effect. So, since the government took the lead in ordering a batch, the glass factory is now extremely popular. Almost all buildings have installed glass windows. Driven by the government, various industries are booming.
"Welcome Vice President Li Yuanhong to northern Anhui. On behalf of the Iron Blooded Revival Party of the Han Dynasty, on behalf of the Military Government of northern Anhui, on behalf of the Iron Blooded Army, on behalf of the millions of people in northern Anhui." Deng Sen looked at everyone and was fascinated by the city before coming over and saying politely.
"Hello General Deng! It's our honor to come to northern Anhui." Li Yuanhong reacted first and hurriedly shook hands with Deng Sen. Then Deng Sen and other personnel of the delegation shook hands one by one under the introduction of the staff of both sides, and then entered Lingbi.
Everyone had a greater feeling when entering Lingbi. There were welcome people on both sides, shouting slogans, but it was obvious that their worship of Deng Sen was much higher than that of the government officials in Beiyang. In their hearts, Beiyang was defeated by the Iron Blood Army this time.
The Lingbi Iron Blood Army headquarters building, which is three-story high, there are already four or five-story buildings around him, but he still looks so conspicuous because of his huge area. The large iron-colored eagle on the top of it has a golden dragon behind the eagle. The party flag and the military flag are inserted on both sides, indicating the Han ethnic group, the guardian of the Iron Blood Army like an eagle.
"General Deng, President promoted you to first-class general. At the same time, I hope you can release all Beiyang prisoners of war and General Li Chun, and exchange the captives of the great powers with them." After a routine greeting with Deng Sen and others, Li Yuanhong told the main things about coming here. He always observed Deng Sen's face, and indeed Deng Sen was reluctant to do so.
Li Yuanhong secretly thought that Deng Sen was young and ignorant, and he would definitely suffer the consequences of fighting with the great powers. He thought Deng Sen was unwilling to release the prisoners of the great powers at all, so he said again: "General Deng, I admit that the Iron Blood Army is very strong, but we have to think about the country. It is difficult for our country to command the great powers."
"Hmph! What you said is really funny. If you ask me to release Li Chun and release ordinary Beiyang soldiers, there is no problem, but you dare to be a lobbyist for the great powers. You are really shameless. I think our negotiations are like this. I admire President Yuan very much, but this time the Central Sixth Division army plundered in Huaibei. This is not punishable, so Li Chun, as the chief of the military, can release it for the sake of the President, but officers at all levels below must be tried and sentenced to be convicted and released without guilt.
You can understand all ordinary soldiers except those who are extremely guilty. In addition, if the prisoners of Britain, France and Japan want to redeem the prisoners and let them come to northern Anhui for negotiations, I dare to fight them before and will not be afraid of them in the future." Dengsen stared at Li Yuanhong with his eyes, especially the shameless words of the bitch made all the representatives of the central government even more ashamed or had a very good atmosphere, but no one dared to interrupt Dengsen because unlike them, they were all civilians, and looking at Dengsen were all military generals.
