Rebirth of the Northern Giants

Soon, Yang Ruishan, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet, got the news that the British had fled Hong Kong, and hurriedly led them to the forward position.

"The British scare themselves and scare themselves away." Yang Ruishan said with a smile when he saw this situation.

"Commander, do you want to fire a few shots to scare the British." The subordinate was also very happy and asked for instructions.

"Don't worry about those escaped British, we are preparing to enter Hong Kong." Yang Ruishan knew that under the chaos, there might be burning, killing, looting, etc., and felt that it was important to stabilize the situation first.

On September 9, the Chinese army took back Hong Kong without firing a single shot. Robinson and other Hong Kong government officials became the laughing stock of the world. .

"What did you say, our army occupied Hong Kong yesterday?" Ye Zhikui licked his ears in disbelief.

He received such shocking news when he first came to the General Staff today.

"That's right, and we didn't waste a single shot." Wang Shizhen smiled and briefly talked about the situation of taking back Hong Kong.

Ye Zhikui was speechless for a moment. He thought of thousands of ways to regain Hong Kong, but none of them worked. Hong Kong returned to Chinese hands so easily, which made him feel surprised.

In fact, he didn't think about it because of the bloody methods of the military government that terrified the Hong Kong government officials and the army. The hearts of the people in the government, on the contrary, made them afraid of China's revenge, so they ran away like dogs who lost their homes.

"It seems that you don't want to die if you are too aggressive. Big fists make sense." Ye Zhikui said with a lot of emotion.

"Generalissimo, the British will not run away for no reason, maybe they will make some big moves." After Wang Shizhen was happy, she thought about it, but said worriedly.

"That's right. The Southeast Asian Department of the Ministry of Intelligence has received news that the British are planning to send troops directly from their Indian colony, aiming at our Tibet." Ye Zhikui was not dazzled by the victory, and expressed the ambition of the British in one word.

In Tibet, the British are going to cross the Himalayas. The logistics is ten times that of the army, and there will not be too many troops. Wang Shizhen feels a little relieved.

Ye Zhikui continued: "The British are preparing to fight the Boers. As long as we resist one of their attacks, Tibet will be safe."

"I'm afraid those Boers are too weak, and the British will do their best to deal with us when they have nothing to do." Now that officials at all levels of the military government have been influenced by Ye Zhikui, their horizons have broadened a lot, and their vision is no longer rigid. Instead of focusing on the country, we actively open our eyes to see the world.

Ye Zhikui smiled and said: "These Boer farmers have the support of the Kaiser, I believe it will not be so easy to admit defeat." Thinking that the machines imported by the Boers from Germany were loaded with boxes of ammunition, Ye Zhikui realized that the Kaiser was so serious at this moment. cute.

Diamonds are obviously much more important than Tibet, and Ye Zhikui would not doubt that the British adjusted their strategy.

"It's just that foreign troubles are imminent, but the high-level officials in Tibet are still fighting for power." Ye Zhikui shook his head helplessly.

Wang Shizhen also knew about this.

Not long ago, Kui Huan, the minister in Tibet, sent news that the thirteenth Dalai Lama had just turned 20 years old and could personally take charge of Tibetan political and religious affairs, but the regent Mu Hutuktu refused to hand over government affairs. He was still young and was not qualified to give the Dalai Lama a bhikkhu ordination, so he continued to manipulate the power of Tibet.

However, Ye Zhikui tended to support the Dalai Lama. On the one hand, the Dalai Lama was still young and easy to manipulate. On the other hand, Ye Zhikui thought that the thirteenth Dalai Lama would be more active in resisting the British.

I hope they can solve the problem before the British army enters Tibet, otherwise it will cause turmoil, no matter whether you are the Dalai Lama or the Panchen Lama, you will be dealt with strictly.

Tibet is a complicated place. Ye Zhikui does not want to cause conflicts between Tibetans and Han. If there is no reason to suddenly send troops to Tibet and break the centuries-old tradition at once, it will only arouse the resentment of the Tibetan people. To boil frogs in warm water, you need to take your time.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ye Zhikui had no good solution, so he said: "Let the governor of Sichuan, Wu Sheng, prepare to send troops. When the British cross the Himalayas, he will act immediately and annihilate the British troops entering Tibet. They will never come back."

Tibet is located at a high altitude. Although the Sichuan soldiers are fierce, they will not be used to it when they first enter Tibet. Therefore, various trainings need to be done in advance.

The Russians are the first whetstone, and the British should be the second whetstone of China. An army can only be called an army if it has gone through the flames of war. Therefore, Ye Zhikui is not going to transfer veterans back from the Northeast. Sichuan sent recruits.

Wang Shizhen wrote down one by one, and then said: "Generalissimo, the outline of the militia training plan has been completed, will it be implemented?"

I heard it right, it is a militia training plan, and after the military government's second conscription, it cannot immediately start a third conscription, otherwise, some people will not be labeled as militaristic.

However, this era is not peaceful, and wars are raging everywhere, not to mention World War I and World War II in later generations. Millions and hundreds of thousands of troops are invested at every turn. The military government’s military strength is not enough. Prepare.

As a result, Ye Zhikui proposed an ambitious million-dollar militia training operation, preparing to organize those idle farmers every year during the slack season, and carry out military training for several months, until the time when they really want to go to the battlefield , anyhow, there are some foundations.

"It's almost October now, so let's start from the Zhili area first." Ye Zhikui said lightly.

...

Clang clang clang, village security guards and village officials in Dahe Village, Yongqing County, Shuntian Prefecture, were beating gongs and drums vigorously.

At this time, it was dawn, and some industrious villagers had already got up, but most of them were lying on the bed with their wives in their arms.

"What happened?"

The villagers who were awakened ran out of the house, and saw several leaders of the village standing solemnly on the threshing floor.

"Get up, get up. There are tasks from above." The village guard stretched his neck and shouted in a drawn out voice.

After a while, the threshing ground was full of young and old, and the whole village was staring at the village security guard curiously.

"The folks in the village require that all men over the age of fifteen and under forty must go to the village for military training." The village security looked down expressionlessly and said slowly.

"Military training, don't tell me we're going to fight again to attract people? That's not okay. Our eldest son just joined the army, and the younger son has to carry on the family line."

"That's right, that's right, there aren't many males in the village. After all, the world is a little more peaceful, so why do we need strong males again?"

"I have to join the army at the age of 15, which is still life-threatening."

The villagers talked a lot, talking in a hurry, and most of them were disgusted with joining the army.

There is a saying that a good man does not serve as a soldier. Although the military government continues to improve the treatment of soldiers, how can the long-term concept change in a short time? If it is not that they can't survive, who wants to send their children and grandchildren to the battlefield.

"Quiet, quiet, who said you're going to fight, military trainer, improve your physique, strengthen your will." The village security said in a serious manner, although even he himself didn't understand what was going on.

"Don't worry, this military training will last for half a year. After the training is over, everyone will continue to go home. Moreover, you only train for the second half of the day. What do you like to do for the first half of the day? Everyone in the village has a dinner. It's so beautiful that you don't even know it. Either way," the village guard reprimanded loudly.

"Well, this is a good thing. It saves one meal a day. It's good. Anyway, it's slack time, and half a day of farm work is enough." The villagers who were still aggrieved just now immediately turned against each other.

"Okay, okay, everyone, get ready. Five days later, the military training will start, and I will take everyone to the village every day." Face broken gong, continue to notify the next village.

Shuntian Mansion, Daming Mansion, Baoding Mansion, Zhengding Mansion,…

In the Zhili area, within two days, all villagers of all ages were notified to undergo military training.

As for the military government, a large number of non-commissioned officers were transferred from the army, and in order to train the students of the military academy, some outstanding students were also selected as coaches to go to various places to carry out large-scale militia training operations.

Soon, Ye Zhikui saw that the progress was going well, and there was basically no voice of opposition. He saw that the plan was pushed to the whole country, and asked the local governments to raise the training expenses themselves. The last few provinces and prefectures will be held accountable.

For a time, militia training operations in full swing kicked off in various places. .
