New Warlords 1909

How can the contract be stranded? You must know that they only received the advance payment, and the large sum of the final payment of the contract has not yet been received.Once the contract is stranded, they will not only suffer economic losses, but may also affect their political reputation. \*\As a result, it was impeached by domestic opponents.
So the ministers of various countries almost unanimously called Hua Fei back, expressing their understanding of his concerns.And frankly.No matter how the domestic situation in the Republic of China changes, they can guarantee the safety of the factories they assisted to build are not violated.
What Hua Fei wanted was this guarantee. He didn't know how many troops Yuan Shikai would mobilize to deal with him, so he had to prepare for the worst and deal with it with all his might.So once his sphere of influence is empty of troops, he can't control how the revolutionary party's army will move, let alone whether the gentry guard group in southern Anhui will be bought by Yuan Shikai and take the opportunity to attack.Because according to Qin Mandi's intelligence, Yuan Shikai had indeed sent a large number of secret confidants to contact the gentry groups in southern Anhui.
He and Cao Yuan, Mo Kaijun and others had just left the firearms repair shop on the outskirts of Hefei.Hua Fei saw Smith, whom he had not seen for a long time, leading a foreigner.Under the leadership of several guards, they rushed over.
"Hi. I haven't seen you for a long time, my friend. How are you?" Smith kept his usual cheerfulness, opened his mouth and opened his arms from a distance, and rushed forward with a big smile.
"Haha!" Hua Fei and Smith hugged each other fiercely, and said happily, "Isn't it the best thing to see old friends again?"
"That's right, I agree very much!" Smith nodded again and again, as if thinking of something, he took a step away with an oh, and introduced the companions who came with him to Hua Fei. */ "This is my friend, retired colonel Lewis of the U.S. Army, who came to your country this time because he has admired the name of Commander Hua for a long time and wants to cooperate with Commander Hua!"
U.S. military retired colonel?Lewis?Hua Fei was puzzled. If he had only come to apply for the job as an instructor in the military academy, Smith would never have come to Hefei so cautiously and recommended it to Hua Fei!cooperate?how to cooperate?
Smith seemed to see Hua Fei's doubts, and without waiting for Hua Fei to ask, he immediately said, "Colonel Lewis likes guns, and with the help of his friend McKenlin, he designed a more novel and lightweight machine gun. Since the US military has been Not interested, Colonel Lewis was extremely distressed, and wanted to go to Europe to recommend his invention. I heard the news by accident, and knew that my friend, Commander Hua, was vigorously building an ordnance factory, and he valued military weapons talents very much. So I found Colonel Lewis and persuaded him He came to China to have a try!"
"Lewis was still hesitant, but under my sincere and enthusiastic persuasion, Smith finally agreed to come to China for a visit! We have visited the factories under construction along the Yangtze River, and Mr. Lewis also highly praised the production scale of Wuhu Firearms Factory! No, that’s why I decided to come to Hefei to sell his light machine gun design to Commander Hua!”
Lewis had a standard military posture. Although he was wearing a suit, his eyes were sharp. Seeing that Smith had finally finished his introduction, he stepped forward to give Hua Fei a military salute, and said slowly, "I have met you, Commander, I know you. pleasure!"
However, after Hua Fei replied reflexively, he opened his mouth wide in shock and forgot to speak for a long time. */Lewis?Light machine gun?If I remember correctly, this is the world's first aviation machine gun, and it is also a very successful light machine gun.Now, the inventor of this light machine gun is standing in front of him, and he is looking for cooperation with him. How can you not surprise Hua Fei?
Fortunately, Hua Fei has been considered a person who is used to the wind and waves, so he quickly recovered, stretched out his hand very politely, and smiled, "It's really a pleasure to meet you. I would like to ask, the light machine gun you designed. Is it Just call it a Lewis machine gun?"
"Of course!" Smith hurriedly replied, "It is a tradition in the West to name one's own invention after one's own name, and it is a noble honor."
Hua Fei nodded, and immediately said, "Come on, let's go into the city, find a teahouse first, and discuss the details of cooperation while drinking tea."
Smith and Lewis looked at each other in astonishment.Immediately, Smith burst out laughing, even he did not expect that Hua Fei would attach so much importance to Lewis. *I didn't even look at the design sketches of the firearms, but after asking an inexplicable question, it seemed that I had plans to cooperate.
Smith said to Lewis, I told you, Commander Hua, he is an extremely straightforward Chinese soldier, now you believe it!While walking to Hefei with Hua Fei and others.
The process of cooperation and negotiation was very pleasant. After Hua Fei saw the sketches and performance design indicators of the Lewis machine gun.It is even more certain that this is the first aviation machine gun in history, the Lewis machine gun!With the will of Hua Feidi.He hoped that Lewis could be employed by the Wuhu Ordnance Factory and sell his design patents for light machine guns.However, Louis insisted on building a joint venture with Huafei. Lewis provided patents and technology, and Huafei contributed funds and equipment. The two parties together accounted for 50% of the factory's equity, and the factory was located in the public concession area of Shanghai.
Hua Fei had no objection to this. Just investing in the construction of a small light machine gun factory would not cost a lot, but keeping Lewis and his technology in China would have far-reaching consequences.It is immeasurable.The two hit it off.It was immediately decided to quickly start raising funds to build a factory and produce the first batch of weapons as soon as possible.And after deciding to cooperate.Hua Fei immediately placed an order for a thousand light machine guns.
There are airplanes, and there are aviation machine guns.With the original aerial bomb, as long as the synchronization problem between machine gun shooting and propeller is solved, Hua Fei believes that his first air force with full combat capability will soon enter the stage of history.
After discussing this matter, it was almost dusk.Smith and Louis rejected Huafei's dinner invitation, and they wanted to rush back to Shanghai as soon as possible to deal with the construction of the factory.Hua Fei dispatched half of his own security guards to escort the two of them away. He drank another pot of tea in the teahouse by himself before slowly leaving.
Song Jiaoren is absolutely safe under the control of Fang Rong and others.Hua Fei has not yet decided when to let him reappear in front of the world.Looking at the situation and dynamics of the North and the South, Sun Wen, Chen Qimei, Ju Zheng and other Kuomintang heroes are all wandering around, trying their best to oppose Yuan.Shanghai sent a telegram yesterday that Huang Xing will come to Hefei in the near future to discuss Yuan's matter with Hua Fei.
It seems that the second revolution is inevitable, but Hua Fei needs to decide how to participate and take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the greatest benefits and gains.The Military Staff and Operations Department has already made three sets of plans for the possible civil war, but Hua Fei is not very satisfied with them.
It was dusk, and the weather in May already had the heat of early summer.A large number of workers went home from get off work in groups, and there was an endless flow of rickshaws and cars on the road, which was really congested.After several years of development, the factories and light industries around Hefei have expanded rapidly.Due to a series of loans and tax cuts, plus some restrictions on foreign businessmen entering light industries, the industrial production value of the entire Luzhou prefecture more than quadrupled within a year.Especially with the upcoming construction of the Triangle Railway, a large number of businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces abandoned their worries and rushed to invest and set up factories.
Looking at the bustling and bustling scene in front of him, Hua Fei smiled happily.This is just the beginning, and soon, he will not only make the entire Luzhou Prefecture present such a prosperous scene, but also spread all the policies that benefit business, benefit industry and promote agriculture to the Yangtze River Basin, and even to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.The second revolution, come on, take this opportunity, maybe you can extend your power to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Of course, the premise is how to defeat Yuan Shikai's army going south.
Just as Hua Fei was deep in thought, he only heard three bang bang bang bangs, Hua Fei immediately felt a heat in his chest, and looked down to see that he was shot in his right chest and stomach respectively, and the blood that flowed out immediately stained his coat red.
Sniper!Assassinate!These are the two key words that exploded in Hua Fei's mind.Then his consciousness began to blur, he saw the surrounding citizens scattered like an explosion, he saw the guards quickly surrounded Hua Fei, and another team of guards rushed towards the direction of the gunfire...
The sharp sound of sirens cut through the noisy sky of Hefei. This day will be a day that will no longer be peaceful.
101 Combined surgery
Anhui Warlord.Hua Lengzi, who is well-known in Jianghuai.The famous Hua Shashen.He was assassinated by a killer.He was shot twice.Seriously injured.Life is at stake.
This heavy news immediately made the land of China, which was already in an atmosphere of terror.Quickly cast a deeper shadow of war.Many were silent in apprehension.They looked at Hefei in unison.Look to Sanhe.Anyone with a little understanding of the current situation will understand.Once Hua Fei died because of this.Then he has tens of thousands of elite recruits.It might get out of control.War broke out immediately.And even if Hua Fei escaped danger by chance.With his vindictive character.Will the country still be safe?
Huang Xing, who was busy, immediately set off for Hefei.No matter how Hua Fei is.He must not let this elite new army of his lose control.Yuan Shikai's government in the north fell into a tense atmosphere.Although the army went south.But many war measures were not fully prepared.If Hua Fei's army takes the opportunity to attack.Then Yuan Shikai will have to fall into a passive position in the early stage.The most important thing is to be useless.This is not what they did at all.But according to public opinion.But they seem to have to bear the blame.
Hefei.The entire city is under full martial law.The entire First Division of the New Army was dispatched.Set up multiple checkpoints in Luzhou Prefecture.Block all external traffic.The Second Division in Wuhu also immediately mobilized half of its troops.Kitakami assists the First Division in searching for suspects.The military headquarters of the Revolutionary Army even offered a reward of 10 yuan.Catch the wanted murderer.
In order to avoid further injury.Hua Fei was temporarily placed in the military staff headquarters.Outside the staff.It is the first regiment of the first division in full armed martial law.Second regiment.Soldiers of the third regiment.rifle.light machine gun.heavy machine gun.Loaded and loaded.Forbid all strangers to approach.
first division.All relevant senior officers of the Second Division came.Looking at Hua Fei who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and motionless.Butler Liu's eyes were sore.Tears poured down majesticly.
"Young master... woo...Young master. You have to hold on... You must hold on!"
"Everyone go out. What's the matter. Go out and talk. Don't disturb the young master's rest!"
Hua San's eyes seemed to be bleeding.Just a cold word.That is, let everyone exit the room.Please invite famous doctors from Hefei and nearby.Under the watchful eyes of Guo Tong and others.Heal cautiously.
outside the room.Staff meeting room.Huada's fist almost knocked over the conference table.Roared furiously. "I fucked his ancestor. Which son of a bitch did the cruel thing? I know. I must beat him to ashes! Who is it? Who was in charge of the young master's security that day?"
"Report...report! It's...it's me!" Since Guo Tong resigned.The post of head of the guard regiment was taken over by the original deputy head Wang Meng.
"You... Wang Meng, Wang Meng. You... you... in case something happens to the young master. See how I will spare you!" Wang Meng is also considered an old man of the Hua family.His qualifications are even older than Guo Tong.It's just that he is not as clever as Guo Tong.The character is relatively dull.But since he served as the deputy head of the guard regiment.This Wang Meng seemed to be under pressure.Learning to drive and Japanese TV series.Its progress is visible to all.
"Master Zhong. Please rest assured! In case, Master... I, Wang Meng, will never live!" Wang Meng gritted his teeth.Fingers in the holster around his waist.The tone is firm.It made everyone sigh.
"Stop arguing. What are you arguing about!" Cao Yuan stopped everyone from arguing.Bring the topic to the point. "The top priority is how to rescue the commander. With the local medical level, I am afraid it will be difficult for the commander to turn the crisis into safety! We need to immediately invite famous doctors from Shanghai or even abroad. Treat the commander! When necessary. We even need Transfer the army commander to a professional hospital!"
"In addition, the military situation between the north and the south is already very tense. Our war preparations cannot be stopped for a moment. Regarding the military blockade of Luzhou Prefecture, it needs to be lifted as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will not only affect the operation and development of industrial and commercial areas, but also cause general resentment among business people. and complain!"
"Get out. Damn it!" Hua Zhong immediately roared. "The murderer has not been caught for a day. The military blockade must not be lifted! Could it be that we just watched the killer flee in the chaos. Let's ignore it! No. I must catch the killer!"
Cao Yuan did not change his mood because of Huada's irascibility.Still cold and authentic. "The military blockade can last at most one day. It must be lifted after one day. Otherwise, it will harm us. It will definitely bring serious consequences!"
"No. Before the murderer is caught, the blockade must not be lifted!" Huada and Cao Yuan confronted each other.Argue.It just does not agree to the lifting of martial law.
"If the commander is sober, he will definitely agree to my suggestion!" Cao Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.Sitting there motionless. "Since the army commander has been injured, we need to heal as soon as possible. Second, we need to restore order. We cannot disrupt all our plans and construction because of the army commander's injury! Our army does not exist for the soldiers alone. It is For this country. For this nation!"
"Cao Yuan!" Huada's voice was deafening.I saw him staring at Cao Yuandao very seriously. "Don't forget your position. You are only the commander of the military police battalion of the [-]st Division. You have no right to replace the commander. Make any decisions!"
"You have no right either! If the army commander does not issue orders, only the combat staff can issue the right to mobilize the army!" Cao Yuan did not back down at all.Stick to his opinion!
"You...you..." Hua Da pointed at Cao Yuan's nose.I was so angry that I couldn't speak for a long time.I saw him take a few deep breaths.Suppressing his emotions, he said impulsively. "I just want to tell everyone. It was the young master who founded the revolutionary army. It was the young master who created the current situation. Now the young master's life or death is uncertain. Finding the murderer is my most urgent wish in Huada. If I can't kill the murderer, how can I I am sorry for the young master who is still lying on the bed? I have no right to give orders in place of the young master. So I propose. Regarding whether to lift the military blockade or not. All the officers present vote to decide! Those who agree with the lifting of the military blockade please raise your hand. Disagree with the lifting of the military blockade Officer. Please put your hands on the table. Be silent!"
Because after Hua Fei encountered a dilemma.It is customary to let everyone vote to determine the result.So this habit prevailed in the new revolutionary army.So Huada made this proposal.No comments from all!
Heber.Bart.Cao Yuan.Bai Kaijun.Yu Chengping.Shen Xian and the others immediately raised their hands.In their view.Maintain a military blockade.It does nothing to catch the murderer.On the contrary, it will affect the normal operation order of the whole society.Mo Haiyu hesitated for a while.He also raised his hand.But all the elders in the Hua family were silent.Emotional factors determine that even if they understand that maintaining the blockade does not have much benefit.However, they couldn't make such a decision after all!
"Seven to seven! There is one person who did not vote!"
All eyes were on Hua San who did not vote.Cao Yuan and the others sighed secretly in their hearts.Hua Fei's direct descendants and cronies still account for the vast majority.So this vote.I am afraid that the Hua family group still has the upper hand.
Hua Yan since Hua Fei was injured.become more silent.Everyone is discussing whether to lift the blockade or not.As long as he seems to be thinking about things all the time.Worried!
"Hi, third brother. Everyone is waiting for you!"
Hua Yan glanced at his elder brother.Lift your head up slowly.said quietly. "If the young master sees this scene, I believe. He will be very disappointed! We all belong to the soldiers of the First Army of the Chinese Revolutionary Army. We follow the young master. We follow his ideals and wishes! We fight. We give everything. For the rise and rejuvenation of our country and nation! Because, that's what the young master thinks!"
Hua Yan has never said so many things at once.Everyone listened quietly.Someone is thinking.Hua Yan will be silent.continue. "Catching the murderer is of course important. But the most important thing is how to treat and rescue the young master! As for the military blockade. I think the young master...he will definitely not do this! Although the outside world has rumors that the young master is barbaric and bloodthirsty. But we understand. In fact The young master is the most close to the people. The most considerate of all ordinary people! I think everyone here is also because of this. That is why you are willing to follow the young master!"
"So. I decide. I agree with the lifting of the military blockade!"
