Chapter 20 Retraction and Development
(At the beginning, I would like to thank the "Idiot Little Watermelon" Yanjin for his pigs who longed for the freedom, and the rewards and monthly tickets of the three brothers! The power was off for a day, and I turned on my brothers' support, and my love was burning! Code words, code words are the king! Everyone is waiting for me!)
Jiujiang is the second largest city in Jiangxi, second only to the provincial capital. When the Iron Blood Army entered the city, the entire Jiujiang seemed extremely quiet. The streets were covered with soldiers of the Iron Blood Army patrolling, and the people almost never went out. It turned out that the Revolutionary Army issued a curfew order yesterday. Because there were gunfire sounds again today, the people thought it was dangerous outside so they didn't go out. It was not until the Iron Blood Army knocked on their door that they realized that it was under the jurisdiction of the Iron Blood Army. In fact, people in this era did not want to know who controlled the place, because there were too many such things in the early years of the Republic of China.
"No entry here! You can only pass directly!" On the avenue on the Jiujiang River, teams of iron-blooded troops were maintaining order. A Beiyang army wanted to enter Jiujiang, but was blocked by a team of iron-blooded troops.
"Why can't we enter? Jiujiang belongs to our Beiyang!" The Beiyang officer seemed to be a naughty man, without knowing the power of the Iron Blood Army at all, and he actually wanted to rush over.
"You are looking for death, right? Do you dare to break in the control of our Iron Blood Army? Go back and ask your commander, Luo! Whatever you don't know is alive! Prepare your guns for me. As long as they dare to rush over, you will be beaten me!" Within an hour after entering Jiujiang, Deng Sen issued an order to Li Fang, that is, to control Jiujiang and control Jiujiang in the hands of the Iron Blood Army, which can play a very important role in controlling the north and south.
If you only occupy Jiujiang, you can completely block the entire Jiangxi during wartime, and almost all ports along the Yangtze River are under the control of the Iron Blood Army, that is, if the Iron Blood Army fights with the Beiyang.
Then he can quickly cut off the north-south traffic in the Beiyang and catch turtles in the jar to solve the problem of the entire South China.
When Deng Sen thought of this, Yuan Shikai naturally understood the importance of Jiujiang, but when he saw the telegram coming, he stopped! The Iron Blood Army defeated the Revolutionary Army with 100,000 people and captured nearly 150,000. Although Yuan Shikai thought that his army was not comparable to those of the Revolutionary Army, he also knew that their combat effectiveness was much different from that of the Iron Blood Army. When fighting, the most likely failure was Beiyang. Moreover, since Yuan Shikai met Deng Sen, he felt that Deng Sen was the same as him, that was dictatorship, and he vaguely understood Deng Sen's hint that today's incident was also a temptation, but he did not expect that the person sent by Feng Guozhang was actually a fool.
"Damn it, why are you talking? What's so great about your Iron Blood Army? Brothers, rush over to me!" Almost as if you were insulted, the Beiyang officer was naturally angry and immediately ordered his soldiers to rush over.
"Looking for death!" The guard officer took out his pistol and shot the Beiyang officer. The other party fell to the ground, and he could not die anymore. The Beiyang soldiers who had obeyed the orders and were ready to rush over stood there at a loss.
After he shot and killed the Beiyang officer, he saw the Beiyang army glaring at him, but he was not afraid and said to the Beiyang army: "Jiujiang was captured by our Iron Blood Army. Humph! Without us, you are still playing with muds across the Yangtze River! Be honest with me, otherwise it will be a matter of one person to die next time! If you don't get out, I will send you with a heavy machine gun!"
"You" all the Beiyang troops were angry at his tone of contempt, but when they looked at the heavy machine guns behind him, they lost their temper, carried the body of the previous officer and ran back!
"The Grand Marshal is not good, Grand Marshal! The officer we sent was beaten to death by an officer from the Iron Blood Army!" While advancing, Feng Guozhang was sitting in a car. While he was thinking about the result of the plan, he was sent by an adjutant in panic.
"Damn it! The Iron Blood Army is too arrogant!" Although Feng Guozhang knew which officer sent was more frivolous, he did not expect that the Iron Blood Army would dare to kill people directly.
But he cursed and then left no expression! He just tempted to see if it was possible to go back to Jiujiang from the Iron Blood Army and fight with the Iron Blood Army? He didn't have the courage. The last war with the Iron Blood Army was still fresh in his memory. Even if he had three times the strength he had, he would not dare to launch an attack.
"Wow! Look! Look at the iron-blooded army, it's different! They are all steel helmets, we have cloth military caps, and then look at the guns in their hands and those vehicles. The most terrifying thing is their artillery! Look at how many of them are!" The Beiyang Army walked past Jiujiang, and all the Beiyang soldiers were attracted by the many artillery outside Jiujiang City. The hideous artillery made them shudder, especially the heavy artillery was even more creepy.
"It would be great if such artillery could be used!" The Beiyang Army had nearly 500,000 people, but the artillery was only forty or fifty, and they were all small-caliber artillery. The only large-caliber artillery was only 105-caliber artillery. The old-fashioned artillery before 1890 was passed by the Iron Blood Army's artillery group with these artillery that were treasured by the Beiyang Army. All the Beiyang Army felt embarrassed. The hideous and huge guns of the Iron Blood Army seemed to be silently mocking them, while the artillery soldiers were full of envy.
When it comes to the use of artillery, the Beiyang Army's artillery is more professional than the Iron Blood Army's artillery. They can use almost all artillery, but unfortunately they do not have these artillery.
From 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 dusk, the more than 400,000 Beiyang Army's army finally crossed the river and headed for Nanchang without stopping. At this time, Deng Sen's order was also issued.
"I ordered the 21st Mixed Brigade of Anhui to guard Jiujiang, and other troops were withdrawn from their jurisdiction and issued a new appointment, that is, to remove Li Fang's position as the commander of the Anhui First Army and serve as the commander of the Zhejiang First Army, which will be newly organized. The First Army of Anwei was renamed the Iron Blood Army of National Defense Army, and the Jiangsu First Army was reorganized into the First National Defense Army. The SS was unchanged. The First Army of Zhejiang First Army was called the Third National Defense Army. The Mechanic was reorganized into the First Armored Army, and the commander was taken by Tian Shi." The punishment came, and Li Fang was transferred from the First Army of Anhui, that is, the Second National Defense Army, to serve as the commander of the Third Army. In fact, his position had not changed at all, but the contribution of this war was gone!
Another appointment was also issued at the same time, with the commander of the SS Army Yuan Lu as the commander of the First Army, Guo Huai as the deputy commander-in-chief of the SS Army, Wang Chenghuai led his headquarters to Zhejiang with Li Fang, and Zhao Guangxing, the former commander of the 22nd Division, served as the deputy commander of the Second Army and the commander of the 22nd Division.
Although Li Fang's contribution was erased, Dengson obviously did not hold him responsible for the casualties of more than 10,000 soldiers. Dengson knew that Li Fang had the ability and was young and motivated, so he gave him a new stage. In fact, if you carefully observe the Iron Blood Army, there will be some senior officers in each army who are militants, and Dengson hopes to see that the army he wants must dare to attack and like to take the initiative to attack. Therefore, even if these generals make some big mistakes, as long as they do not betray him or embezzle and treason the country, he will forgive them.
"Head of the People's Republic of China! I don't think it's so necessary to expand the army again! The original three armies almost all expanded to more than 100,000 people. The rated number of the third army was the third division plus two mixed brigades, and the additional team was more than 100,000. Although the armored army was only 50,000, the machine was even more expensive! "With the new order, Yugabb felt too embarrassed! The annual military expenditure of the Iron Blood Army is as high as 72 million oceans. If it increases to 500,000 people, it would be 110 million oceans. This is an astronomical figure! With such a large expenditure, even if the Su-An government now has more than 100 million deposits, it is quite unbalanced, and there will be huge funds in the development of various places. The ordering of warships is more than 100 million, and the money will flow out like flowing!
"These are necessary. Although the surface is stable now, the domestic and foreign situation may change at any time. We must have enough strength to get a share of the pie before the war comes. Moreover, the East Indies is vast and must have troops. A large army of 500,000 must have it. Of course, the money is relatively strong, but I think this is not a big problem. The production of the East Indies alone is enough to support 500,000 troops. This is because we do not have enough efforts to develop it. There are dense minerals there, so we will not have to worry about funding as long as it is developed! And now the national industry is like mushrooms after a rain! Brother Gangbeng, don't worry!" Dengson was a close confidant of the Finance Minister, and at the same time he appreciated Yugabe's practice of encouraging industry and commerce.
"By the way, head of state! Now we have issued development policies within our control. Many si people or chambers of commerce have gone to the East Indies to explore. At the same time, our various industries are also very good!" Yugabe was both happy and bitter during this period. This time, the great development formulated by Dengsen almost covers the entire region. Government banks are desperately borrowing, borrowing commercial loans from all interested people, and assisting in the operation of factories. So there are too many factories everywhere. In the past six months, the products of these factories have occupied all surrounding markets.
Dengsen was very happy about the large amount of domestic funds entering the Jiangsu and Anhui region. He also wanted to find that when the people from all over the country have sufficient funds in a few years, the purchasing power will definitely increase. There are also the East Indies. Dengsen is now preparing to carry out predatory development. China now needs Indonesia's dedication, including the dirty indigenous people on that land.
"Very good! Continue to continue this policy. How is the construction progress of the Yangtze River Bridge now?" Deng Sen said as he remembered the construction of the manufacturer's bridge, which was a very expensive project.
"The progress is OK, but the indigenous people suffered too much casualties! But the head of state is assured that the number of indigenous people is still increasing, and the colonial office is constantly transporting slaves! According to Engineer Naser's prediction, at this construction speed, it can be completed in three months. However, the waterway has been interrupted during this period, which has had a great impact on the transportation of materials upstream and downstream."
