Total War Predator

After getting off the Yangtze River, Zhang Anle, accompanied by Wen Shude and Chief of Staff Liu, visited the shipyard and saw the two cruisers under construction. These two cruisers were transformed from the Kent-class heavy cruisers. Because the Washington Treaty stipulates that countries are not allowed to build A cruiser with a displacement of more than 10000 tons, at the same time, the caliber of the main gun of the cruiser is limited to no more than 8 inches. The armor of the Kent-class heavy cruiser is very weak. The British Navy does not like such a warship. They privately call it a "white elephant". , 'White Grave' and 'Thin Skin'

This kind of problem has been perfectly solved in China, because China did not sign the Washington Treaty, and the UK gave China the best design without any restrictions. The two sides cooperated to produce 12 such warships. In the event of a war, the UK has the right Buying 6 of them is the British plan to sneak through the old warehouse, and it is also the reason why they are willing to cooperate with China. In addition to the Kent class, China and the United Kingdom also have several similar cooperation projects.

"Now we only have two docks, and the production capacity is very limited. The docks are under construction. Our plan is to build eight docks within three years," the director of the shipyard said in a group

"Are there enough skilled workers and engineers?" The captain was not very tall, and the voices nearby were noisy, so Zhang Anle could only lower his head and asked closer.

"Enough, we are training, and the workers trained in the UK will return to China in the second half of this year. Although these British people are a bit arrogant, they do have real skills and cooperate with our work." How dare the factory manager let Zhang Anle Keeping his head down, he stood on tiptoe and whispered in Zhang Anle's ear

"That's good, let's go meet those British people." Zhang Anle nodded and said

The British may have been notified in advance that Zhang Anle was coming to inspect, so they all dressed up neatly and shook hands with everyone, said a few polite words, and then took pictures

It was already noon after the photos were taken, so the factory manager left them to eat in the factory. Zhang Anle didn’t go to the small cafeteria, but ate with the workers in the big cafeteria. An Le asked the workers and learned that the usual meals are two meat and two vegetables

In the afternoon, I visited the Naval Training Center of the Bohai Fleet. Although the Naval Training Center is only a place to train ordinary soldiers and low-level officers, the requirements for enrollment are very strict.

They were in class when Zhang Anle arrived. Whether it was intentional or not, they happened to be talking about the Sino-Japanese War. Unfortunately, Zhang Anle knew very little about naval warfare and the navy. After listening to it for a while, he turned around and left.

This school was not built. It used to be a middle school. Later, this area was requisitioned as a naval base. The people nearby moved away, and the middle school naturally followed. They set up this school. The training center is far away from the base anyway. It's close, and you don't need to spend extra money. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

When they learned that Zhang Anle had left after class, the students regretted not being able to have close contact with him

Back in the meeting room of the naval base, Zhang Anle praised Wen Shude and others, affirming their achievements

“Being able to build this base in just one year is a success in itself”

It also raises high hopes

"I hope everyone will remember the mission on their shoulders and remember the names of the warships under your feet. You are the patron saints of this country and our [-] million compatriots." To be continued)

Chapter 14 Sun Chuanfang asks for a meeting

After inspecting the naval base, Zhang Anle drove back to Donghai Hotel

A tall young man in military uniform walked around nervously outside the hotel, looking into the distance from time to time, as if he was waiting for someone

Seeing Zhang Anle back, he stepped forward happily

"Commander-in-chief, you are back!" Zhang Zhonglin revealed joy in his eyes.

"Lingfu, what are you doing at the entrance of the hotel? What happened?" Seeing Zhang Lingfu waiting for him at the entrance of the hotel, Zhang Anle thought that something must have happened, and hurriedly asked

"The old man is waiting for you in the room with Sun Chuanfang, he asked me to wait here for you to come back" Zhang Zhonglin looked around and said in a low voice

"Sun Chuanfang is with the old man? Go upstairs." Zhang Anle was taken aback when he heard the news. Sun Chuanfang is not going to deploy defenses in Zhejiang at this time. What is he doing in Shandong?

After going upstairs, Zhang Lingfu and Wang Xiaozhu stood on both sides of the door consciously. Zhang Anle pushed the door open and entered the room. Sure enough, he saw Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang in casual clothes sitting on the sofa. Sun Chuanfang saw that he was back, and stood up quickly.

"The commander-in-chief is back." The smile on Sun Chuanfang's face couldn't hide the deep worry between his brows

Zhang Anle once met the commander of the Allied Forces of the Five Provinces. It was at Sun Yat-sen's funeral two years ago.

"Commander Sun, why are you here?" Zhang Anle looked surprised, and his acting skills became more and more proficient

Why did Sun Chuanfang talk here? It’s a bit long. In the first battle in Jiangxi, Sun Chuanfang lost nearly 10 horses, so that he didn’t seriously organize defense in Fujian, so he withdrew his troops to Zhejiang. He reorganized the remaining troops into 15 divisions, Actively prepare for battle

At the same time, he also knew that with his current strength, it would be even more difficult to save the defeat on his own. Now he must cooperate with others. Who should he cooperate with?There is no need to choose at all, only Zhang Anle

Sun Chuanfang also knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to go directly to Zhang Anle, so he found a middleman, Zhang Anle's father Zhang Zongchang

Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang are still brothers. At the beginning of last year, Zhang Zongchang escorted Lu Yongxiang to Jiangsu to take office. Sun Chuanfang wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob the two armies. Zhang Zongchangyan and Huang Jinrong made peace once, and the two not only made peace but also made obeisance

Of course, the brothers in this era are for sale. It didn’t take long for Sun Chuanfang to go north to attack Jiangsu and Zhang Zongchang fought again in Anhui and Jiangsu. As a result, Zhang Anle almost copied his old nest. The Northern Expeditionary Army seized the opportunity to fall into the current situation

Sun Chuanfang did not hesitate to come to Jinan to meet Zhang Zongchang at this critical juncture for his own territory. When he saw Zhang Zongchang, he fell to his knees with a plop and begged Zhang Zongchang to forgive him.

When he kneels, all Zhang Zongchang’s grievances towards him are gone

When Zhang Zongchang heard that Sun Chuanfang wanted to change his past and support the Beijing government, he was really happy. To support the Beijing government is to support his son.

Zhang Zongchang patted his chest and took the matter away, and couldn't resist Sun Chuanfang's pleading, so he rushed to Qingdao by train

Sun Chuanfang appeared here

"The lower official wants to see the commander-in-chief, so I have the audacity to ask my elder brother to bring the lower official here." Sun Chuanfang bowed to Zhang Anle and said

Sun Chuanfang knew that Zhang Anle was not as soft-hearted as Zhang Zongchang, and Zhang Anle was much younger than himself, so he couldn't solve the problem by kneeling. If he knelt down, Zhang Anle might look down on him, so he lowered his posture and called himself an official. There is nothing wrong with such a title, after all, Zhang Anle's official position is indeed higher than his

"Brother?" Of course Zhang Anle knew about Zhang Zongchang and Sun Chuanfang's appointment, but he still pretended to be surprised.

"Last year, Xinyuan and I paid homage to each other in Shanghai. He is two years younger than me, of course he calls me big brother." Zhang Zongchang explained seriously

"The reason is that my uncle is in front, please forgive my nephew for being rude." Zhang Anle just showed his original appearance, and then he knelt down to apologize

How could Sun Chuanfang let him kneel down, and quickly grabbed his arm

"Bowei doesn't have to be like this, so I am sorry to you father and son. Last year I heard the slander and met you in battle. Now that I think about it, I really regret it." People say that politicians are good actors, and the same sentence applies to Sun Chuanfang , just listened to him talking and even choked up

"Hehe, the previous matter is over. Just now you said that you have something to do with me. If there is any nephew who can help, please tell me." Zhang Anle asked enthusiastically

"Bo Wei should also know that more than a month ago, the Northern Expeditionary Army attacked ferociously and occupied Hunan, Jiangxi, and Fujian. Now it is pressing towards Zhejiang. Most of my 20 troops have been lost. Now it is no longer the Northern Expeditionary Army. As the saying goes, the enemy's lips are dead and their teeth are cold. After the Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Zhejiang Province, it will definitely not stop. The next ones must be Jiangsu, Hubei and Anhui

And as far as I know, the troops of Tang Jiyao and Tang Jiyu have already joined forces with Yang Sen and Liu Xiang. If they defeat Yuan Zuming, they can attack Shaanxi in the north, and attack Hubei with troops from Hunan in the east. Now I still have 15 troops in Zhejiang, Bo Wei can send troops into Zhejiang, we join forces to fight against the Northern Expedition, or you can send troops across the river from Anhui and Hubei to attack Jiangxi and Hunan, when the Northern Expedition can't take care of both ends, send troops to divide and wipe them out, national unity is at hand, You can also accomplish the unfinished business of Sun Yat-sen." Sun Chuanfang is a qualified lobbyist. He is right. Now is the best time to attack the Northern Expedition. Once they capture Zhejiang, their situation will be bad. He agreed so easily, and it seemed that he was too impatient.

"What my uncle said, my nephew understands that if you want weapons and equipment, there is nothing to say, but I will tell you that many troops of the National Defense Forces are reorganized troops. Many troops have not had time to train. The combat effectiveness of Uncle's troops is better than that of the army. No, sending them to the front line is probably going to kill them at all." Zhang Anle sighed and said with embarrassment on his face.

Sun Chuanfang knew that Zhang Anle would not agree so easily, so he had other ideas

"Bowei, I know you're still blaming me, but people can't help themselves in the world, and I can't control many things. I have so many brothers, and everyone wants to be promoted and get rich. Where do the officials come from? Are they laid down? Only the territory can be given to them. I assure you that from now on, I in Zhejiang will absolutely support the leadership of the Beijing government, and I myself will only follow your lead. He has agreed to any conditions as long as he can keep the territory, and he dares to promise anything

"Uncle, what are you talking about? We are a family. I will definitely help you like this. Why don't you go back first, and wait for me to go back to Beijing to discuss the battle plan with the staff of the headquarters. How about this?" Zhang Anle said. He looked like he was pondering, and then said

"To be honest, the morale of my troops is very low now. If I can't win another victory, I'm afraid the troops will be in chaos before the Northern Expedition troops come." Sun Chuanfang said with a wry smile

"An Le, Xin Yuan is right. Now is the best time for you to attack the Northern Expeditionary Army. Helping him is helping yourself." Seeing this, Zhang Zongchang couldn't bear it, so he pleaded for Sun Chuanfang

Sun Chuanfang looked at Zhang Zongchang, and wondered if he really didn't understand, or was he pretending to be confused, why Zhang Anle couldn't see the situation clearly, why he didn't want to send troops, or felt that he didn't do well enough, what was the problem?

In fact, there is no problem, but Zhang Anle can't understand his behavior. Of course, in a sense, Sun Chuanfang is not wrong, whether he swore with Zhang Zongchang, or later turned against Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang. There is nothing wrong with him now coming to Shandong to ask Zhang Zongchang to join him. After all, people do not punish the country for themselves. People also admire this kind of flexible and stretchable person and call them heroes. But Zhang Anle just can't stand this kind of behavior. When he is frustrated, he pretends to be a grandson everywhere. The other person he hates, Feng Yuxiang, is also this kind of person, so he doesn't like to see Feng Yuxiang either.

Zhang Anle also knew that at this time, she couldn't let her own temper do whatever she wanted, and the overall situation was the most important thing. Just taking the opportunity of Zhang Zongchang to intercede, Zhang Anle agreed to Sun Chuanfang.

"Since you all said so, well, I will return to Beijing early tomorrow morning and arrange for the transfer of troops."

"Bowei said so, I am relieved and you are also relieved. I, Sun Chuanfang, mean what I say, and I will definitely do what I promised you." Seeing that Zhang Anle agreed, Sun Chuanfang could finally relax. In order to make Zhang Anle feel at ease, he seriously said
