"Don't worry, Commander Zhang. I, Zhang Zhijiang, promise here that if anyone dares to tamper with a penny, I will be the first to spare him!" Seeing what Zhang Anle said, Zhang Zhijiang was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

When he said this, other people also expressed that they would never extend their hands indiscriminately, and promised to use the money for the construction of Henan.

"What I said just now was a bit heavy, don't blame everyone. From now on, everyone will be on their own, and I won't hide it. Whether it's our Henan, the earliest Mongolia, or the current Shaanxi. In my opinion, everyone It's the same, there will be no favoritism. Of course, it is absolutely impossible to make a bowl of water equal. If Jiangsu wants a heavy industry base tomorrow, I will definitely not agree. You have not built any heavy industry base there. I hope Everyone will support the work of Governor Li in the future, and build Henan into a major industrial province!" Zhang Anle made a final speech.

"Commander Zhang, don't worry, we will definitely support Chairman Li's work and escort the construction of Henan." Others expressed their opinions one after another.

"Chairman Zhang, after a long journey, take a break first. We are preparing a reception banquet in the afternoon. I will welcome you and give the gentlemen and celebrities in Henan a chance to meet you." Seeing that Zhang Anle had finished speaking, Li Mingzhong talked about the reception banquet.

"You bothered." Zhang Anle was indeed a little tired.

Li Mingzhong and the others got up to say goodbye, Zhang Anle took a shower and went to rest.

Zhang Anle didn't know many people who received the banquet. Yang Hucheng introduced him to Li Huchen, and Zhang Zhijiang introduced him to Zhang Zizhong.These are all historical celebrities, but now that Zhang Anle's status is higher than all of them, he doesn't feel any excitement.

On the contrary, they were a little excited to see Zhang Anle, after all, Zhang Anle is somewhat legendary now.Plus, it can be said that he is the youngest among the few people in power in China.He is more popular with young officers than Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu and others.

At the banquet, Zhang Anle also delivered a speech.First of all, thank you for your love, and then I hope you will support the government's work.In the end, he revealed Henan's development plan, basically repeating what he said to Zhang Zhijiang and the others.

Those who can participate in Zhang Anle's welcome banquet are not ordinary people. They are all very happy to hear that Zhang Anle is willing to pay for the construction of Henan.Some far-sighted people have already seen that there will be business opportunities everywhere in Henan in the future, and it depends on how to grasp them.

After Zhang Anle's speech, everyone applauded very warmly.Zhang Anle couldn't help feeling that everything depends on money.

After the welcome banquet, Zhang Zhijiang asked Zhang Anle to go to the army to have a look. This is his cleverness. Zhang Anle could not mention this matter, but he had to invite him, not to mention that he still had the idea of ​​getting equipment from Zhang Anle. .To be continued. .

Chapter 68 We are not convinced

Zhang Anle had no interest in seeing the troops of the national army. He knew that the equipment of this army was not good, and he could guess what Zhang Zhijiang was thinking. "However, Zhang Zhijiang's kindness is hard to be rejected, and Zhang Anle didn't want to touch his face in front of Zhang Zhijiang's men, so he just nodded in agreement."

"Brothers, I know that some of you don't want to leave the army like this. The average soldier of our national army can buy an ocean for a month, and the Northwest Army can buy 1 catties of rice for 500 yuan, which is enough for the whole family to eat and drink. But the Northwest Army wants Not so many people, only three divisions. But we are worse than those left behind! Today, Commander Zhang brought Commander-in-Chief Zhang of the Northwest Army to our place to check. The brigade commander said, this is our best Everyone, cheer up! If you don’t want to go home, straighten your backs, and show Commander Zhang what you usually practice. We are no worse than those people! Okay, everyone go back first. The barracks, clean up, wipe the guns, tidy up, if anyone loses the chain at this time, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Early in the morning in the barracks, Zhao Erlenzi started bluffing. He is from Jiangsu. Later, when he heard that Henan was recruiting soldiers, he came to serve as a soldier.In the beginning, it was only 6 yuan a month, but Zhao Erlengzi had a lot of vigor in the war, and he made many meritorious deeds. He was promoted to platoon leader in just two years, and now he can get 14 yuan a month.

Everyone knows that being a soldier these days means wearing your head in your trouser belt, but if you don't do this, the whole family will starve, and relying on the two acres of Susukida at home, the little food you harvest will not be much after paying the rent.Ever since Zhao Erleng became a soldier, he can send five or six yuan to his family for a month, which is enough for the whole family.His father bought 2 acres of good land with the money he sent to his family in the past two years.

Now that the army is going to be disarmed, what else can you do if you don't become a soldier?My brain is not bright, and my hands are still stupid. If I go to a factory as an apprentice.You don't have to be scolded to death by the master. Besides, if you are used to being a platoon leader, you can't bear that tone even if you are yelled at all day long.

Yesterday the company commander called several platoon leaders under his command and said that Commander-in-Chief Zhang would come to check. If you can perform well, there might be a turning point for the disarmament.You must know that ordinary soldiers of the Northwest Army have 12 oceans a month.The platoon leader can receive 1 ocean.

As soon as Zhao Erleng heard his thoughts, he called the soldiers together early the next morning and trained them hard.

When the soldiers heard that the soldiers of the Northwest Army paid 12 yuan a month, they were naturally very jealous.It was loose just now.Now one by one straightened their waists.

Following Zhao Erleng's dismissal, everyone returned to the barracks and packed up, wanting to impress Commander Zhang. &&

Accompanied by Zhang Zhijiang, Yang Hucheng and Li Huchen, Zhang Anle went to inspect Yang Hucheng's No.20 Third Division. The 23rd Division was reorganized from the National Army's elite troops, the Third Division and the Tenth Division.The two divisions used to have more than 3 people, but now they have a standard 12500 people.The current No.20 Third Division can be said to be the elite of the elite, and it is not inferior to the Northwest Army.

Zhang Anle and Zhang Zhijiang inspected the troops of the No.20 Third Division together.The soldiers held their rifles and walked in neat steps. 16 in a row, walk through them one by one.Of course, the review at this time is not as good as the review in later generations.Its level is equivalent to the square team after the military training of college students.And because the number of people is too small, the momentum is not enough.The advantage is that it is not bad to watch at a close distance.

After inspecting the troops, it was a target shooting performance.Participating in the performance must be selected sharpshooters, all of them are very accurate.

"I have always had an idea to select the best sharpshooters in the army and form a dedicated sniper unit. Equip them with the best guns and scopes, so that such units can kill the enemy to a great extent during an ambush, especially It was a time when there were no volunteers for heavy firepower. It is a pity that there has been no suitable guns, and now the best shooter in each squad in our Northwest Army is the sniper of this squad.” Zhang Anle listened to the 10 rings that were constantly reported. The number of targets, said to Zhang Zhijiang next to him.

"Of course this organization is very good, but our weapons and equipment can't keep up." Zhang Zhijiang finally showed his fox's tail.

"No, the Gongxian arsenal built by President Yuan was one of the four largest arsenals along with Taiyuan arsenal, Jinling arsenal, and sea arsenal." Zhang Anle asked in surprise.

The Gongxian Arms Factory is a huge arsenal built by Yuan Shikai to consolidate his rule and provide arms for the army. Its scale can no longer be described as large.The arsenal covers an area of ​​2700 mu, with an investment of 1127 million silver dollars, and more than 12000 employees. There are 24 dormitories built in the west of the factory alone, which shows its scale.

"You don't know this. Although the factory started to be built 10 years ago, it was actually put into production in 1919. A few years ago, the gun factory ordered machinery and equipment from the American Brad Company. Due to repeated transfers during transportation, the machine The parts were rusted and damaged, and it was not installed and put into production until last year. The output is also very low, which cannot meet the needs of the troops at all." Zhang Zhijiang vomited bitterness to Zhang Anle.

"Since what you said is so unbearable, how about letting me take over the Gongxian Arsenal? The Northwest Army's guns and ammunition are all supplied in a unified way. The bullets of automatic rifles, manual rifles, and machine guns are all common. We have also obtained the authorization of guns. The Gong County Arsenal can produce with just a change of equipment. What do you think?" Zhang Anle followed Zhang Zhijiang's words, thinking that Zhang Zhi would not be happy.

"Yes, it would be great if you are willing to take over. We just need to lead the gun." Zhang Zhijiang's expression was very sincere, and his answer was somewhat unexpected to Zhang Anle. Zhang Anle did not expect that Zhang Zhijiang would let go.

"Since you said that, then I will be disrespectful." Zhang Anle didn't care about the real intention of Zhang Zhijiang's words just now, he knew that he would be a bastard if he didn't take advantage of it, and he was very happy, which made him even more happy The answer is: the system will give a prompt, congratulations, you have won the second-level technology group, Gongxian Arsenal.

Unexpectedly, the trip to Henan yielded an arsenal and a second-level technology group.

At this time, the troops had finished shooting targets, and Zhang Zhijiang also got Zhang Anle's promise of weapons and equipment.After the inspection, they went to the city by car.Before leaving the barracks, a few people suddenly appeared outside and stopped the convoy.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Anle frowned, and told Wang Xiaozhu, "Go down and ask what's going on?"

After getting off the car, Wang Xiaozhu came back and replied, "Report to the commander, the ones blocking the car in front are disbanded units of the National Army. They don't want to go home, and want the commander-in-chief to go with them to their camp."

Hearing what Wang Xiaozhu said, Zhang Anle lost all the kindness he had just now.

"What is this Zhang Zhijiang doing?" Zhang Anle said dissatisfied, but the soldiers had already stopped the car, so he had to go down to have a look.He thought that this was Zhang Zhijiang's trick of not wanting the troops to be abolished. This was obviously a way to force the palace.

But Zhang Anle wronged Zhang Zhijiang, this really wasn't his idea.Zhang Zhijiang didn't intend to let Zhang Anle keep more troops, he also knew that soldiers were more expensive than elite soldiers.

"Commander Zhang, this was not my idea." Zhang Zhijiang also got out of the car, walked quickly to Zhang Anle and explained in a low voice.

"What are you doing! Rebellion!" Zhang Zhijiang didn't expect that these people would dare to stop the car. He was afraid that Zhang Anle would misunderstand, so he explained it just now.

"Commander Zhang, we are not trying to rebel. Brothers have followed you through life and death for so many years, why do you want us to go back!" said the one who seemed to be the leader among the few people.

"That's right, Commander Zhang, we only know how to fight all these years, and we don't even know how to plant land when we go back. What can we brothers do when we go back?!" Several other people echoed.

"Then what do you mean now?" Zhang Anle stopped Zhang Zhijiang who was about to speak, and asked aloud.

"We want Commander Zhang to visit our barracks. We are no worse than them. Why don't you want us! We don't accept it!" said the leader.

"Okay, I'll go and see with you, and you will lead the way."

A few people led Zhang Anle towards their barracks, and as soon as they entered the barracks, they heard someone shouting.

"All are there, stand at attention! Salute!"

There was a bang, and thousands of people stood neatly on the school grounds, holding guns in one hand and giving military salutes in the other.

Zhang Anle also stood at attention and saluted them back.

"The ceremony is over! Commander please review!" The leader shouted loudly.

Under the guidance of that person, Zhang Anle inspected the troops. The spirit of this army is indeed good.

Soldiers are generally in their 20s, but there are also young men in their teens and middle-aged men in their 30s.

After inspecting the troops, Zhang Anle, Zhang Zhijiang and others came to the brigade headquarters of the barracks.

"Well, just now you said that your soldiers are not as bad as them. I will give you a chance. I have brought 6 men with me this time. You can choose any one at random. Shooting, hand-to-hand combat, and hand-to-hand combat, you can make the best of these three Good people, if you can win one of them, I will give you an extra division. If you win two, I will give you two. If you win three, I will keep all the troops, how about it?" Zhang Anle looked at the leader asked the Brigadier.

"You mean what you say?" The brigade commander couldn't believe it.

"Presumptuous, you just talk to the officer like this?! Commander Zhang's words will naturally count!" Zhang Zhijiang was afraid of causing Zhang Anle's displeasure, but he was also happy when he heard that Zhang Anle said that if he won an item, he would give an extra division. Can't help trying to squeeze Zhang Anle with words.
