"You bastard, you're just messing around!" An angry Duan Qirui slapped the table hard several times.

At this time, an old man stood up with his beard brushed, "Listen to me, everyone, the earthquake in Japan is a catastrophe in modern times. We should help each other and our neighbors in disaster relief. I have heard that some of my colleagues feel that the country is humiliated as a disaster. Haters, you must know that not forgetting the national humiliation is one thing, and humanitarianism is another thing, they might as well go hand in hand, and this time can be a test of our benevolence and righteousness, a way to improve our virtue."

After the old man finished speaking, he was unanimously praised by the audience, and then the meeting started in a warm atmosphere.

Zhang Anle, who left the venue, was speechless to these people, and now he thought of donating money to the Japanese?How many people in the whole country can't eat, how many people are forced to sell themselves into slavery every day, who will take care of them!

Gu Weijun, Minister of Foreign Affairs, pointed out that regarding the earthquake in Japan, "our country's original duty of disaster relief and compassion for neighbors cannot be idly by. The government should order and persuade the people to jointly raise funds for relief."

Today's meeting was discussed from the morning until 30:[-] pm, and further decisions were made: order all provinces and regions to raise funds for relief; quickly transport [-] koku of rice to Japan; lift the ban on grain export; invite various charitable organizations, the Red Cross, banks, and news , chambers of commerce, military and police organizations from all walks of life, such as the Japanese Disaster Relief Association.

Under the strong mobilization of the government, all walks of life in China have reached a rare concerted action.The Japanese embassy and consulates in China were crowded with people, and there was an endless stream of people who came to express their condolences and express their opinions.Japanese commercial organizations and non-governmental organizations in China have also received countless telegrams, letters and gifts of condolence.

Liang Qichao, who was in Tianjin, sent a telegram on November 11: "Relief in disasters and compassion for neighbors is an inescapable responsibility. It is said that we should do our best to catch them, quickly send warships and merchant ships, collect food and supplies, and rush to emergency relief."

Shanghai "Morning News" published an editorial titled "The Great Earthquake in Japan" on November 11: "Our country's citizens should quickly form an emergency relief meeting, raise huge sums of money, send a large-scale rescue team to the relief, and earnestly investigate the disaster. Moreover, if there is a lack of food and clothing, try to donate as much as possible. In case of an epidemic after the disaster, you should also send a cross team to go to the hospital for medical care. The more money, the more people, and the faster the time, the wider the scope of the rescue and the better the effect. big."

On the same day, the editorial title of "Republic of China Daily" was "Sad Japan Earthquake Disaster", and the editorial title of "Shenbao" was "Sad Japan Earthquake Fire".The Chinese press almost unanimously appealed to the public to do their best to show love for the earthquake-stricken areas in Japan.

On November 11, the "Republic of China Daily" appealed to "Chinese Urgent Relief of Japanese Disasters", "This catastrophe in Japan is certainly a great misfortune for Japan, but it is inherent in China that the goodwill between Japan and China can be restored and the permanent peace of East Asia can be maintained." In Japan, it cannot be said that it is not beneficial.” “The voice of good righteousness echoes everywhere,” and I hope that the Japanese can “understand the goodwill of the Chinese people.”

Just as the whole country entered a frenzied aid boom, there was a rumor circulating in the disaster-stricken areas in Japan that North Koreans poisoned wells and conspired to riot.Under the secret planning of the Japanese government, a massacre plan against Koreans was introduced.Beginning in the afternoon of September 9, with the cooperation of the military and police, the "Youth Self-Police Corps" carried out extremely cold-blooded and brutal massacres in areas where North Koreans lived, using a large number of cold weapons. Almost none of the dead had complete bodies. The death toll was about About 2~6000 people.

In addition to the Koreans, they also premeditatedly massacred Chinese laborers and students studying in Japan, killing a total of more than 700 people.

However, no one in these countries knows that apart from praising China's humanity and benevolence, the newspapers these days have criticized Zhang Anle. As the actual controller of the six northwestern provinces, no one in Mongolia has donated money, and no one in Qinghai has donated money. , Gansu, Shaanxi, Chahar and Suiyuan donated a total of less than 2 oceans.Provincial governors in more than 20 provinces across the country have donated from 1000 to 10000, but none of the six northwestern provinces has donated.

Cold-blooded people, executioners, vicious warlords, inhuman beasts, and other titles were all given to Zhang Anle.Outside the Beijing World Hotel where he lived, there were students holding banners all day long and shouting the slogan "Get out of Beijing and go to the field automatically."

On November 11, Duan Qirui's cabinet decided to remove Zhang Anle from the posts of Deputy Minister of Army and Mongolian Warlord.

That night, Zhang Anle got a system notification that the military camp in Kulun, Mongolia had been built.Now he can produce the infantry division of the First World War. If the soldiers are completely produced by the system, it will take half a year to create the strength of a regiment. This troop is just like the independent regiment. The level of the infantry division after World War I is definitely the elite of the elite in China today.But there is only one regiment in half a year, and the speed is too slow. If it is reorganized, it will be much simpler. One division can be reorganized at a time, and it only takes 3 months.The combat effectiveness of the troops can also reach the level of the infantry division of World War I, but the loyalty is not as guaranteed as the system created.The advantage is high output and fast speed.

The most urgent task is to reorganize the army first. For this barracks, it will take 3 years to reorganize the current army.

Zhang Anle built two barracks in Xi'an and Ningxia at the same time, and used up 2IC at once.What used to be just food and clothing, suddenly became poverty.There is no way that everything is now in the service of expanding strength, and the rest can only be put down first.

Zhang Anle decided to take the troops stationed in Zhili and Chahar back to Mongolia to reorganize first. After the reorganization of the troops, the military camps in Xi'an and Ningxia were also built.

On November 11, the troops of the Northwest Army stationed in Beijing gathered outside the capital, surrounded by many students and citizens. While shouting slogans, they held up banners saying 'Hit the warlords' and 'Get out of Beijing'.

Standing on the temporary platform, Zhang Anle shouted to the soldiers of the Northwest Army.

"I know that many people can't understand me, why don't you want to donate to the Japanese at this time. The Japanese Zhongshan wolf is rampant! If we donate today, there will be another war between China and Japan, and the bullets shot at our compatriots may be It is what we donated today. The more money we donate to the Japanese today, the more guns and cannons Japan will have to attack us in the future! By that time, we will be the sinners of the nation! I would rather throw away the money I will not give it to the Japanese! Now I order all the troops of the Northwest Army to withdraw from Zhili and return to Mongolia!" Zhang Anle glanced at his subordinates and ordered loudly.

The troops lined up in sequence and marched towards Mongolia. Before Zhang Anle got on his horse, he looked at the cheering crowd and sighed secretly again. History will prove me right.

His remarks were published on the front page of a newspaper, "A Cold-Blooded Warlord's Self-Defense—Absurd."Some benevolent and moral people even published articles in newspapers to criticize, but their efforts were wasted, because Zhang Anle did not develop a good habit of reading newspapers.

After the troops withdrew from Zhili to Beijing, Zhang Xueliang's troops entered Beijing, and Zhang Anle ordered Sun Yue and Zhang Lufeng's troops to station in Chahar.He brought the independent brigade back to Mongolia. On the way, Zhang Anle kept thinking about how to reorganize the troops. Then he suddenly thought of a problem. Sending people to the barracks by himself means reorganizing, and he doesn’t know which country he used. prepared by.

After more than 10 days of marching, the troops arrived in Kulun, and the military training camp that can accommodate 2 people has been completed.Zhang Anle met the instructors who were said to be holding his own letters. These instructors were all foreigners, and they were all around 30 years old.They claim to be retired military officers responsible for the training of soldiers.

After asking them, they found that it was not so simple. This military training camp can train the number of people a division refers to, and the so-called World War I infantry division value refers to the quality of the army. As for the combat effectiveness, it depends on what equipment is given to them, and what troops adopt. They don't care what kind of organization it is.

It's like when a modern infantry division returns to the Republic of China, even if it is well trained, the soldiers are also very skilled. If each person fires a shotgun, the combat effectiveness is not necessarily stronger than that of the German infantry division in World War I.

After many days of discussion, it was finally decided:

A division is full of 12500 people, and consists of 3 infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, a supply regiment, 1 engineer battalion and a division battalion (division headquarters, division staff, cavalry company, guard company, gendarmerie company, health company, 2 unarmed supplementary battalion, etc.).
