New Warlords 1909

Qi Haichen came over and gently put a military coat on Hua Fei.It stands to reason that at Hua Fei's level, with a few assistants around him, no one would gossip.But since Hua Fei was recuperated in a nursing home after being injured, the headquarters has equipped him with several full-time nurses.Follow the example, but any military officer who has some military power is injured and hospitalized, he will ask for an autocratic nurse. (These gentlemen don't want full-time nurses, they want wives!)

Originally, this is not a problem, but even the National Defense Forces cannot guarantee that everyone has no shortcomings.Moreover, the army's logistics medical system lacks female nurses, so things like jealousy are happening one after another in the rear.Moreover, some people insist on staying in the hospital because they are seriously injured, and they don't want to be discharged once they live in the hospital, which is a serious waste of limited medical resources.Letters about whistle-blower complaints continued to be sent to the Gendarmerie and even to the General Staff.It wasn't until the intelligence department submitted the matter to Hua Fei that it attracted Hua Fei's great attention.

Hua Fei directly issued an order. In the hospital, there is no difference in military rank, no uniforms are allowed to go to the hospital, the attending physician is the largest, the treatment of full-time nurses is revoked, and only the seriously ill and wounded can enjoy the relevant regulations and systems, which stopped this trend. The spread of the atmosphere.And in order to be vigilant, Hua Fei strictly demands himself in his personal life.To avoid those who "worship" him too much, follow him blindly.

Hua Fei took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He seldom smoked before, but recently Hua Fei smoked it unknowingly, and it got out of hand.

If Hua Fei was in Shanghai, this situation would never have happened.If the biggest crisis of the Wehrmacht is not the lack of tempering by failure, not blind arrogance and overconfidence, but that no one can stand alone and command a campaign for him except for a few people.In other words, today's National Defense Forces lack the talents of generals.

Jiang Baili, Zhang Xiaozhun, Cai E, Li Liejun, Feng Yuxiang, even Bai Kaijun, Zhang Zhizhong, Yu Chengping, etc., and even Li Yue, there are many, many army generals that Hua Fei can trust and reuse.And more young generals have emerged one after another, becoming the mainstay of the National Defense Army.But the big question is, what about the navy and air force?Where is the general that Hua Fei can appoint with full authority?

In the navy, there are many officers with outstanding military exploits, such as Gao Guangzheng.Wei Zihao, Mao Zhongfang, Deng Ci, Pan Hong, etc., and with the subsequent joining of Beiyang officers such as Zeng Yiding, Wen Shude, Chen Shaokuan, and Sa Shijun, the level of naval officers is not weak.But looking at the entire naval officer team, apart from the original Lei Guangjiong who created the torpedo boat encirclement and annihilation method in tactical theory and achieved certain achievements.Most people can only be regarded as qualified ship commanders, but not qualified military strategists in the sense of the fleet or even the navy.

Not to mention the Air Force. Although the Air Force of the National Defense Forces developed very early and has a lot of ace pilots, the Air Force is the military branch that worries Hua Fei the most.The officers in the army are generally younger in age, and they are basically advancing according to Hua Fei's combat thinking, becoming the auxiliary combat force of the army and navy, and have no awareness of being an independent military branch at all.Many pilots also joked that they belonged to the army on land and belonged to the navy when they were at sea.What is the Air Force?It is a service that belongs to both the army and the navy, but is not subject to the restraint of the army or the navy. This is the air force.

This joke of the Air Force reflects the deep-seated problems faced by the Air Force from a certain aspect.Hua Fei admitted that due to his unparalleled influence and status in the national defense force, coupled with his 'god-like' control over the strategic direction, even the staff officers rarely competed with Hua Fei in the general direction.The long-term consequence of doing so is to lose many people's independent thinking ability and increase their dependence. They are more and more accustomed to obeying orders instead of thinking, formulating, and giving orders.

The consequences of this are very dire. With Hua Fei's increasing influence on the course of history, it can be said that many histories have completely changed.What will change in the future, Hua Fei doesn't know.But Hua Fei understands that as a traveler, his grasp of the direction of history will become weaker and weaker. What he needs are more talents who can think independently, and he needs more generals who can command one side.

Hua Fei realized this problem very early on. Until the de facto unification of the country was basically completed, Hua Fei decided not to make up his mind to change, and there would be no future.It was precisely for this purpose that he left Nanjing for Beijing and handed over the full power of the East China Sea's surprise attack on Japan to the Joint Command of the Navy and Air Force.

Change comes at a price, and growth even more so.Hua Fei also paid a heavy price in the initial stage of leading the revolutionary army, and gradually came to where he is today.Now, it is the Wehrmacht that has grown and molted again.The pain and price that must be paid.It's just that this price is so unbearable for Hua Fei!

It took a long time until the early morning sun rose to mid-air and water began to drip from the tiles of the overhanging eaves, and Hua Fei woke up in a gust of cool wind.Looking back, Qi Haichen, Sun Ban and others were standing outside the house with him.Sun Banna's body is as strong as an ox, and it doesn't matter even if he stands in the snow with his upper body naked.But Qi Haichen's frail body was shivering a little, obviously very uncomfortable with the cold weather in the north.

"Ah!" Qi Haichen sneezed uncontrollably when Hua Fei just turned around, wiped his nose and said, "Commander, it's too cold outside, let's go back!"

Hua Fei chuckled, threw his coat to Qi Haichen and said, "I've been in Beijing for so long, I really haven't had a good look at this ancient city. Taking advantage of the sunny day today, I went out for a walk, just in time to dry my moldy body. What do you wear?" Put on your coat and go for a walk with us!"

"Commander, Shanghai...Shanghai is still...still waiting for Commander's instructions!" Seeing Hua Fei stepping out, Qi Haichen hurriedly said.

"Instructions? No! Tell them that I am extremely dissatisfied with this report, and ask them to write a new report for me, and hand over the application form for meritorious service. In addition, tell them that the battle is not over, and that more Sea surface reconnaissance, especially to prevent the main fleet of the Japanese Navy from going south to block the Taiwan Strait and cut off our supply and transportation lines!"

Hua Fei had already gone away, leaving Qi Haichen to quickly run to the telegraph office to send a report.Although Qi Haichen didn't follow Hua Fei for a long time, but with a delicate mind, he understood that Hua Fei had a difficult decision in his heart, and he needed to go out to relax his mood so that his decision would not have too much personal emotion.

Beijing is an ancient city. It has been the main capital of China for more than 500 years since Zhu Di established the capital here in the Ming Dynasty.The ancient city of Beijing has a thick and vicissitudes of urban atmosphere, which is completely different from Nanjing.Even in winter, you can still see some old men and grandchildren playing with diabolos and other gadgets on the grass.On the street, there are people walking birds with bird cages, people admiring flowers and insects, and all kinds of strange things.If you want to use a few words to describe this feeling, then four words are enough, eat, drink, play, and have fun.Compared with the south, which has been strongly impacted by the modern trend of the West, Beijing is relatively simple in everything, both in life and in the city.

However, the modern atmosphere still deeply affected the city. Before Hua Fei walked far, he saw a large group of relatively modern students carrying their schoolbags to school.Judging by their clothes, most likely they are middle school students.Soon, I heard the ear-piercing shout of the newspaper seller, "Extraordinary, extraordinary, great victory in the East China Sea, the National Defense Forces once again defeated the Japanese army, and one hundred thousand Japanese soldiers fed the Dragon King of the East China Sea!"

"Extra, extra, great victory in the East China Sea, the National Defense Forces have won a complete victory!"

The yelling of the newspaper seller caused a slight commotion in the orderly crowd. Many people walked over to buy a newspaper, but more people were still doing their work, and they seemed not very interested in the news. .Some merchants saw the opportunity to turn on the huge radio in the store, and the voice of the news broadcast came from the radio, talking about the war in the East China Sea.Some people walked by and listened a few times, some people stopped and stood for a while, but more people just passed by slowly.Only that team of middle school students went up, and basically three or four of them bought a newspaper together, and their excitement for this news was obviously higher than that of the people around them.

Hua Fei sighed secretly in his heart, if this kind of news was in the original autonomous regions such as Shanghai and Nanjing, I am afraid that it would have been snatched up by the rush.I don't know if the people in Beijing don't have a sense of belonging to the current central government, or are they simply insensitive to politics?

However, regarding the Battle of the East China Sea, no news has been released to the press yet, but these private news organizations seem to know all the inside story.Hua Fei bought a newspaper, and couldn't help laughing when he read it.Obviously, these news are fabricated based on some uncertain news.If it was true as the news said, why should Hua Fei be so sad now.

Seeing Qi Haichen who was chasing after him panting, Hua Fei thought for a while and said, "Give power to Nanjing and Shanghai, and don't disclose any information to the press about the Battle of the East China Sea for the time being. Also, tell the Nanjing Cabinet Office to draft a report on news work." Draft codes of professional norms and professional ethics for journalists, and formulate relevant management and punishment laws for false news reports by private media, groundless news like this cannot be allowed to flood the society!"

Qi Haichen glanced at the newspaper Hua Fei handed over, seeing Hua Fei turned and left, he could only wipe off his sweat and run back again.The one in his heart was complaining endlessly, wondering whether Hua Fei was forcing him to exercise in disguise.Running on this road is covered in sweat!

Walking to a teahouse, the teahouses at this time have a special feature, that is, basically every teahouse invites a storyteller, and this phenomenon is especially prevalent in the Beijing area.Storytellers, singers, and even performers, that's all there is.It was nothing else that attracted Hua Fei to this teahouse, and it was precisely because the storyteller in this teahouse was talking about the Taiwan landing battle that was widely reported in newspapers not long ago.

"Speaking of this Kunsha Lake, it is called a bloody river with corpses sinking into the river. Countless men of our national defense army are fearless under the crazy firepower of the Japanese army. They only see the damn little Japan in their eyes, and they only know these bastards I used to kill my people in Shandong, and I am still killing my people in the Northeast. What is there to fear in life, what is there to do in death! If you die on the battlefield of killing the enemy today, in the next life you will still carry a gun to fight against the little Japan..."

The storyteller's passionate words aroused bursts of applause.However, the audience at the scene was obviously more interested in the intensity of the storyline and the impact of the fighting, and the touching stories in the newspapers were not the focus in the teahouse.

"After the National Defense Army made a loud noise, the surrounding residents seemed to be able to feel the shouts of killing at night, and even the fish caught by the fishermen in the lake were all red. Now the fishermen there call this lake--the bloody lake!"

"Speaking of the Wehrmacht again..."

307 Inheritance of Chinese Civilization

Hua Fei stayed in that teahouse for a long time.While listening to the storytelling adapted by the storyteller, he listened to the discussions of the people around him.Although the storyteller avoids the most important and focuses on the fierceness and thrills of the battle and other factors, Hua Fei's thoughts can't help but drift away, to that distant Taiwan, to that distant night.

Those who have not experienced war will never understand the cruelty of war.Even though the people here are completely driven by the storyteller's ups and downs, when they walk out of here, more people completely forget the scene just now, and everything is still following the track of life, step by step.Just those faces in the story, they can never forget, their lives changed forever.

Hua Fei didn't blame the public for their reaction. In the whole society, except for the young people who were full of passion, even within the original autonomous region, the public's reaction to the victory or defeat of the National Defense Forces was limited.As a relatively pure defense force system at the beginning, the popularity in the autonomous region is still very high.However, since the reorganization of the National Defense Force, the entire National Defense Force can be said to have been transformed from a local army to a central army, not only the original National Defense Force. , and the Beiyang Army.Guijun, Fengjun, Jinjun, Yuejun and other local armies.And many of these local troops were enemies who harbored deep hatred not long ago.

The common people are not politicians, and they must rely on reason as a sufficient basis.More people think about problems and are completely dominated by emotions.In this way, it is not surprising that Chinese people, whether they are northerners or southerners, even the people in the autonomous region, have a new sense of responsibility for the National Defense Forces.

Hua Fei noticed this situation a long time ago, but he didn't feel it deeply before.A powerful army is definitely not isolated. It must have a strong national support behind it, and it must have the trust and support of countless people.Just like behind a successful man, there must be a harmonious family and the support of a virtuous wife.

Military and civilian fish and water conditions, this is definitely not just a slogan.When the relationship between the army and the people reaches a harmonious relationship with each other, it must be the soul factor of an army, and it is also the source of the vitality of an army to continue fighting.When an army gradually begins to separate itself from the people, when an army blindly pursues high-tech combat effectiveness in the process of informatization construction, and gives up some fundamental construction of the soul, then the future and destiny of this army is really unpredictable .

The people are no longer excited about the victory of the army, or the victory or defeat of the army has little to do with them. The sense of honor and sacredness of the soldiers cannot be generally erected among the people. step.Where is the future going.Hua Fei couldn't predict it, and he didn't want to predict it.

Back in Nanjing, Hua Fei had adopted various methods.For example, some touching deeds in the army were widely reported, and more troops and people were dispatched to participate in the construction of local infrastructure facilities, especially the construction of water conservancy facilities, and adopted the model of military-civilian joint construction.

But the influence of this method is limited. First, the illiteracy rate in China is extremely high, and the proportion of people who read newspapers in China is definitely less than one percent.Second, the influence of military-civilian joint construction is limited to one village and one place. For urban areas, Hua Fei can't send troops to clean the streets and remove garbage all day long.

With radio, the situation is better though.But firstly, the penetration rate of wireless broadcasting has not yet reached a certain level, and secondly, the pure sound level has a very limited emotional impact on people.

But after listening to this storytelling here today, Hua Fei's mind was full of thoughts, and he unexpectedly thought of a word, that is movie.At this time, movies have already appeared in China, and developed cities such as Shanghai have emerged on a large scale.Only one or two years later in the original history, 175 film companies were established in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou and other places, and there were 141 film companies in Shanghai alone.It's just that Hua Fei temporarily lacks interest in movies.Most movies these days are silent.

But a silent movie does not mean that the movie itself will always be silent.Hua Fei can't remember the year when the sound film was born in history, but Hua Fei believes that in terms of technology, sound film is not such a difficult bottleneck.After this idea came up, Hua Fei's mind had already seen the tragic and powerful war scenes on the movie screen.How Hua Fei hopes to bring the heroic soldiers of the National Defense Forces and their battles to the screen, impact people's inner world from the screen, sound and other aspects of touch, and ultimately affect the general public's understanding of the image of the National Defense Forces.

In addition, the purpose of developing the film is not only to achieve Hua Fei's intentions.Hua Fei is well aware that the rise of a country lies not only in its industrial strength, but also in its hardware strength such as military strength. The influence of soft power such as culture and customs cannot be underestimated.Later generations of Americans, relying on their developed film industry, strongly exported their values ​​and culture, affecting a wide range of people around the world. The role and influence are far-reaching and immeasurable.

After thinking of the keyword movie, Hua Fei thought of TV again.Television, this seemingly ordinary word, has definitely brought about drastic changes to the electronics industry and to the lives of human beings in the world.Hua Fei has never heard of anyone inventing this gadget so far, but if Hua Fei can obtain the patent right of this electrical appliance and take the lead in mass production, its value and the industry it will drive cannot be calculated with money.

Although he couldn't wait in his heart, Hua Fei didn't immediately go out to arrange the matter.him today.There has been a big change from the impatient Hua Lengzi in the past.He has learned to be calm!After listening to all of today's storytelling, Hua Fei even drank tea and chatted with the people next to him for a long time before slowly leaving the teahouse.

Originally planned to go back home, but within a few steps, a seemingly ordinary middle-aged man approached and whispered, "Sir, do you want some antiques?"

If it wasn't for this guy's non-dangerous actions, if Hua Fei wasn't startled and stopped the guards' actions in time, I'm afraid this very ordinary-looking guy would have been captured and thrown down by the guards long ago.

"Antiques? Do you have any? How about the goods?" Hua Fei pretended to be interested, and asked in a more experienced tone.When they were begging for food in the underground world, they had come into contact with a lot of such things.

Although the middle-aged man's eyesight is not good, he was very happy to hear that Hua Fei was interested. He couldn't hide his joy and said, "You are definitely interested. As long as you want, there is nothing we can't get? If it doesn't satisfy you , even smash our signboard!"

"Can you get the stuff in there?" Hua Fei pointed in the direction of the Forbidden City in the distance, half jokingly.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment.Then he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "To tell you the truth, since Nanjing's Huajia army intervened in the Forbidden City, it has been very difficult to get the antiques inside. No matter how deep our knowledge is, we can't get to the presidential palace, right. Besides. Well, what President Hua is looking for, do you think there are still people who dare to take it in China today? But to tell you the truth, before the Hua family army came, there was a lot of treasure in it. If Mr. I'm really interested. I'm willing to introduce you!"

The reselling of antiques has reached such a blatant level, which is indeed beyond Hua Fei's imagination.I have walked hundreds of times in the streets of Nanjing and Shanghai, and I have never encountered such a thing.When he came to Beijing, he came out once, but this happened to him.Moreover, this middle-aged man complained to Hua Fei about occupying the Forbidden City in front of Hua Fei, which made Hua Fei even more ridiculous.

Hua Jiajun, this is a new title.

"Apart from the baby in there, is there anything better?" Hua Fei continued.

When the man saw that he was indeed a master of drama, he immediately said, "Sir, please go to the teahouse and sit down. Whether you succeed or not, it is all righteousness!"

Although Hua Fei was full of tea, he immediately followed him to a nearby teahouse.Listening to the man's narration, Hua Fei finally understood how hot the Beijing antique trading market is today.This middle-aged man is a "clan head", mainly responsible for hunting buyers for the store and raising commissions from them.This middle-aged man used to be a shopkeeper, but recently he was tired of the life of being homeless everywhere, so he switched careers and started a shop.

What shocked Hua Fei the most was that the middle-aged man mentioned a word at the beginning, that is Dunhuang, and all Dunhuang murals and ancient books are very easy to sell in Beijing's cultural relics trading market, which reminded Hua Fei of this Chinese culture. One of the treasures, the tortuous history of Dunhuang.

In 1907, British archaeologist Mark Olaer Stein came to Dunhuang along the ancient Silk Road south of Lop Nor during his second archaeological trip to Central Asia.When he heard that the scripture cave was discovered in the Mogao Grottoes, he approached Wang Yuanlu and expressed his willingness to help build a Taoist temple, which gained the king's trust.So Stein was allowed to enter the scripture cave to select documents. In the end, he only spent 200 taels of silver in exchange for 24 boxes of manuscripts and 5 boxes of other works of art. In 1914, Stein came to Mogao Grottoes again and bought 500 Dunhuang documents from Wang Yuanlu for 570 taels of silver.Most of these collections were donated to the British Museum and some museums in India.
