New Warlords 1909

It's money again.Whether it is Zhang Xun's mansion in Xuzhou.It is also the mansion of Ni Sichong in Fuyang.A large amount of gold and silver treasures were found.This is not surprising.The warlords in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.No matter the plate you like.Or military power.Its foundation requires a lot of economic support!So you'll find many warlords after defeat.will hide somewhere.Engaged in industrial business investment.All of them possess tens of millions of wealth.

Zhang Xun of Xuzhou was fled by him.Therefore, no deposit certificates such as Qianzhuang Bank were found.But Ni Sichong is different.He searched for those of Wanbei University.A lot of money is all deposited in the bank.Because he never thought that Fuyang would be attacked.So most of the belongings stay at home.This is why he is taboo to be a soldier.An important reason for trying to catch up.Qianzhuang is fine.But those silver dollars stored in foreign banks.It's a bit troublesome. 500 million silver dollars.There are many. "All captured. The second division sent a regiment to escort the Hefei military headquarters. The rest of the troops rested in Fuyang. Maybe. We still have to fight!" Hua Fei put aside this question and ignored it for the time being.Immediately after giving the order.Gather an army of officers.Start discussing the next battle plan.

126 Improved Herald

"The first army has another good news, and Ni Sichong's [-]th battalion has been wiped out!"

"The world is determined overnight, and the general situation of the revolution in Anhui is smooth!"

"The first division is out of nowhere, surrounded by more than [-] Ni troops, and won without a fight!"

It seems that reports about the victory of Hua Fei's first army are no longer unusual. If everyone sees the disastrous defeat of the first army in the newspapers on a certain day, there will probably be a sensation!It’s just that it’s not surprising. For many revolutionaries, they need this victory to inspire people.And for many common people, topics such as how the first division suddenly appeared in Fuyang have become topics that people like to talk about.

Successive victories have caused many foreigners to pay attention to this civil war in a distant empire.At the beginning of the war, many countries still supported Yuan Shikai and provided a large amount of arms support and loan assistance.They believed that Yuan Shikai would surely win, and they had to stand on the winning side to extract the greatest benefits.

But Hua Fei's unexpected appearance made many people cautious.Although Yuan Shikai still had the upper hand in terms of overall strength, Hua Fei, a huge variable, began to make people feel uneasy.Especially in the battle, Hua Fei's strength not only did not weaken, but gradually increased (in terms of the number of troops), which added to the worries of various countries. \\

A few countries, including Germany and the United States, have informed Yuan Shikai either explicitly or implicitly that if he cannot quickly quell the domestic rebellion, then countries will reserve the possibility of intervening by force to protect the interests of foreign businessmen in China.

"Report, Mengcheng Anqing First Army telegram, according to reconnaissance, Bozhou Lei Zhenchun's guard troops have withdrawn to Henan, Shen Tongwu's division commander is looking for the next battle plan!"

The unexpected rapid collapse of Ni Sichong's [-]th Battalion brought shock beyond Hua Fei's imagination.After several months of fighting, the Beiyang elite Yi army was completely wiped out.The Allied Forces of the Second Beiyang Division lost troops and generals, and Ni Sichong's more than [-] people collapsed overnight.Then you can imagine, who will Hua Fei's next target be?Of course, it is the Ministry of the Guards in Bozhou.Lei Zhenchun was not stupid, he didn't think his few thousand troops could resist Hua Fei's new revolutionary army.So almost immediately after receiving the news of Ni Sichong's destruction, he organized the withdrawal from Bozhou and stationed in Shangqiu regardless of military orders.

Wang Zhanyuan looked at the information in his hand at the headquarters of the Second Division in Xiao County.Also puzzled. "You mean, are you sure that Huaibei still has nearly [-] defenders? How is this possible? Didn't the First Division go to Fuyang to fight Ni Sichong?"

"Master!" Sun Chuanfang replied, "According to intelligence analysis, there are currently about eight regiments stationed in Huaibei with nearly [-] troops.\The soldiers of six regiments are newly recruited recruits! There are only two regiments that truly belong to the original First Division. Soldiers!"

"Recruit?" Wang Zhanyuan thought for a while and said, "Chuanfang, do you think this is our chance to take Huaibei?"

"Teacher, absolutely not!" Sun Chuanfang immediately denied, "Although most of the fighters of these six regiments are recruits, the fighters of four of them are all adapted and trained by Hua Lengzi's Construction Corps. Those Construction Corps, originally They are all soldiers of the new army who have been dismantled by the Jiangnan Revolutionary Army, not fledglings with no combat experience!"

"And teacher, we just intercepted an intelligence message! Hua Lengzi issued a beheading operation plan to his shadow force, the Poisonous Special Forces. Its main task is to stalemate the war. The Poisonous Special Forces will do whatever it takes. For us Senior officers of the [-]nd and [-]th divisions carry out the assassination!"

As soon as Sun Chuanfang said this, Wang Zhanyuan shrank his neck immediately.Unlike most warlords of this era.Wang Zhanyuan is not very keen on territory or strength. \/ On the contrary, he is extremely interested in searching for property.Such a person.Generally, they are more afraid of death. Hua Fei's shadow troops are not only in the Beiyang army, but also like thunder.You must know that even foreigners are flocking to it.Sending officers to come to study.

"Pass on my order. No battalion is allowed to act privately and not to leave the city easily." Wang Zhanyuan made a decisive decision, his eyes fell on the north of the map, and he said worriedly, "If the presidential palace is really pressing, just make a few tentative attacks. Don't push that madman into a hurry!"

Lei Zhenchun withdrew from Bozhou, Wang Zhanyuan's second division did not move, and Yuan Shikai seemed to focus all his energy on Jiangsu. Even Zhang Xun's troops in Suqian began to go south, and launched several fierce confrontations with the revolutionary army.

Northern Anhui was initially decided, but Hua Fei didn't have so many local administrative talents to take over government affairs.Therefore, except for the regiment of the Second Division left by Hua Fei in Fuyang, most of the other troops of the Second Division of the First Division withdrew to Hefei and stood by.At the same time, he ordered the military department to quickly set up patrol stations in various places to maintain local law and order.For the original local government, except for those who blatantly supported the Beiyang Army against Hua Fei, most of them were retained.

The General Staff of the Hefei Military Headquarters and the troops in Anhui Province have already begun to adjust. In addition to the fourth regiment stationed in Bozhou, the First Army of Anqing Army transferred another regiment to Fuyang. \The remaining five regiments all reinforce Huaibei and join the defensive camp.Many of the officers of the First Army of the Anqing Army were revolutionaries. This time they joined the Dispute Yuan Army and accepted Hua Fei's dispatch. It cannot be said that there was no intention of staying behind in Nanjing.However, Hua Fei still can't rest assured about them. If they are scattered like this, they can be controlled to the greatest extent.In the future, the officers will be slowly transferred, and eventually the army must be fully controlled.

"It is reported that the second batch of pioneer aircraft has flown in, a total of twelve. Mr. Feng and other technicians have made improvements to this batch of aircraft based on the feedback from the early pilots and the characteristics of the bombers! Diamond One engine, the rear seat of the cockpit has been redesigned, the ammunition bay and bomb delivery method have been enlarged, and the bomb loading capacity of each aircraft has doubled!"

"Great!" Hua Fei was discussing with a group of military staff about the plan to deploy troops to Jiangsu. Hearing this, he threw a pen and said excitedly, "Where is the plane? Let's go and see together!"

The new improved aircraft was still parked at the training airport of Longteng Flight Academy. When Hua Fei arrived, the pilots of the second detachment of the Air Force who had withdrawn from Suzhou gathered around the new aircraft. The brilliance and longing in their eyes showed, It seems that I immediately want to fly to the sky to play!

"Salute!" "Salute!" "Salute!"

When the pilots saw that Commander Hua had come to the airport in person, they all stood at attention and saluted!Hua Fei returned the salute one by one, and then let everyone relax!In this battle, the Air Force can be said to have shined brilliantly. It did not lose a single soldier or a plane, set a brilliant record, and caused incomparable pressure and losses to the enemy. ///\After deliberation, the military department has decided to give the two flight detachments a collective first-class honor.

"Everyone!" Seeing that all the pilots were quiet, Hua Fei said loudly with a smile on his face, "I still remember at the opening ceremony of the Dragon Flying Academy, I once said that the dragon soars to the east, the sword soars to the sky, the fierce dragon soars to the sky, and the ten-year-old with lofty aspirations Six words! Now, you have interpreted the meaning of these sixteen words with your achievements. Today, our pioneers in the East, the Raptors, have used their brilliant achievements to tell the world that our air force is not inferior to any country. .This is your honor, I am proud of you!"

"Oh!" All the pilots couldn't help cheering.Although the collective first-class merit is already an extraordinary honor, hearing the commander's praise with his own ears is absolutely different.You must know that in the eyes of these young people, Hua Fei has become their idol invisibly.

"Long live China!" "Long live China!" "Long live the Chinese Revolutionary Army!" "Long live the Chinese Revolutionary Army!" "Long live the Chinese Army Commander!" "Long live the Chinese Army Commander!"

I don't know who started it first, all the pilots couldn't hold back their passion and shouted in unison.

Hua Fei laughed and waved his hands, and only after the cheers quieted down did he say, "I think your slogan is wrong. I, Hua Fei, can have so much energy by myself! You should call Long Live the Motherland and Long Live the Air Force!"

"Haha...!" Hearing Hua Fei's unsure voice, everything was very peaceful and natural, and everyone couldn't help but relax and laugh out loud.

"Commander, the Commander is here to visit and inspect our air force. This is an honor for the officers and men of all departments of the Air Force! Please come with me, Commander, and allow me to introduce to the Commander the latest improved aircraft of the pioneers that have just arrived!" Detachment of the First Detachment of the Air Force The eldest Sun Tianbo was originally a student in the aircraft manufacturing and design class of Longteng Academy, but after studying for half a year, he became interested in flying, so he applied to transfer to the flight class.In the assessment of pilot selection, he was appointed as the captain of the first detachment with the No.1 result.

"Okay, let's take a look at the pioneer aircraft that Mr. Feng Huafei has improved for so long, what is the difference!"

When designing and building the Wing Loong aircraft factory, it was planned to initially produce 30 aircraft per month.But after all, most aircraft in this era are made of wood, and the experience and skills of workers are seriously lacking.So until the start of this war, the Wing Loong Aircraft Factory barely produced more than [-] aircraft.Since the start of the battle, there have been more than two months, and the Pterosaur has worked overtime to only build twelve new aircraft, which may have something to do with the improvement of the aircraft.

Walking into the new pioneer aircraft, Hua Fei's eyes lit up.At this time, the plane parked in front of his eyes was not only bigger, but the manufacturing process was also better.Especially the two larger propeller blades clearly tell others that the power of this aircraft has improved to a certain extent.

Sleek fuselage, full belly, oil-soaked smooth canvas skin, silver-gray coating...Everything is very close to the classic aircraft in Hua Fei's mind.

"Commander, the pioneers of this batch of improvements, adopted an improved Diamond One engine. Although the power is only 160 horsepower, the weight is reduced by 20% compared with the original engine. According to the test, the fuel consumption is lower and the noise is lower. Smaller, less failure rate, and very easy to maintain!"

"Good!" Hua Fei praised.Although he doesn't know much about machinery, he also understands the importance of the engine as the heart of En's power.The technical indicators mentioned by Sun Tianbo are undoubtedly very important for the engine.

127 Full Deployment Before the War

"The improved Pioneer has a wingspan of 9.52m, a length of 7.30m, and a height of 2.98m. The net weight of the aircraft is 625kg, and the total weight is 928kg. The ceiling is about 5000 meters, and the maximum speed is 160 kilometers per hour..."

After all, Sun Tianbo had studied the design of aircraft manufacturing, so he could get these technical data at his fingertips without hindrance.However, Hua Fei doesn't know much about this. He only knows one thing, the gross weight minus the net weight is the theoretical take-off weight of the plane.Three hundred kilograms, excluding the weight of the pilot, it can also carry more than 100 kilograms of cargo.In layman's terms, doubling the bomb load means that the bombing capability of these twelve aircraft has reached a scale of at least 24.

When designing the prototype of the aircraft, Hua Fei gave Feng Ru a lot of advice.He insisted on using an iron-aluminum hybrid fuselage from the beginning, rather than the common wooden structure now.The choice of materials makes Huafei's aircraft design concept ahead of this era from the very beginning.Pioneer [-] is more of an experimental verification aircraft, which is why there are two posture cockpits, the fighter is not like a fighter, and the bomber is not like a bomber.

After obtaining preliminary experimental data, Feng Ru devoted all his energy to the design improvement of bombers because there was no urgent need for fighter jets.Hua Fei's support and inspiration made the work enthusiasm of this Chinese aircraft design pioneer reach a peak level in the class. /*/ The pilot's rear cockpit is cancelled, the bomb load is increased, and the bomb sight is improved. These improvements seem simple, but they greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the bomber.Of course, these are still very primitive in Hua Fei's eyes, but in this era, they can already be regarded as very advanced existence.

"Captain Sun!" Hua Fei interrupted Sun Tianbo, looked at his excited face and said, "You mentioned so many advantages of the Pioneer Improved Model, tell me again. What are his shortcomings!"

Sun Tianbo was stunned, but he quickly said, "Commander, the shortcomings are inevitable! Due to the backwardness of our country's industrial infrastructure, many parts of this type of aircraft need to be imported. So foreigners asked us to export this type of aircraft, we Even if you don’t want to, you have to sell it to foreigners. Otherwise, once they get stuck with some parts, our aircraft is just a blueprint.”

"And our country's oil refining level is extremely backward. All aviation fuel needs to be imported. Once the fuel is cut off, our planes have to stop at the airport and do nothing!"

Hua Fei immediately looked at Sun Tianbo with admiration. Although he thought of these problems, so far, only Sun Tianbo has seen them so clearly. \*\The so-called born in sorrow and died in peace, as a leader.Not only can you only see the victory, but the most important thing is to be able to see the troubles, so you can take countermeasures!

"Our third flying detachment is about to be established. I have decided to form the first flying squadron of the Air Force. The military department will appoint you as the squadron leader. I hope you will give all your combat experience to Mr. Feng as soon as possible to help him improve our pioneer aircraft!"

"Yes!"

Then Hua Fei got on a new type of plane, if it wasn't for the fact that he wouldn't know how to operate it.He really wanted to take flight in the plane.I remembered that many foreigners still stayed in Hefei.Negotiations with some of the military staff on the export of aircraft have not yet reached an agreement.I remembered what Sun Tianbo said just now.Hua Fei decided to meet these foreign representatives in person.

"Mr. Hua, we are friends who have cooperated for the longest time. Now my government entrusts me to order [-] Pioneer aircraft. But we have not been able to sign the contract so far. This really disappoints me, and it also makes my government distrust me. This will have a negative impact on our future cooperation. "

This was the first time that Hua Fei held a large-scale reception in Hefei, where he entertained all the visiting foreigners.Some senior military officers also attended the reception. *\Smith and Kyle couldn't wait. Not long after the reception started, they found Hua Fei.Kyle's tone was a little displeased, mixed with threats.

"Mr. Kyle, Mr. Smith, my friend." Hua Fei didn't take it seriously, he raised his glass and pointed to the many foreigners in the venue, "You have also seen that so many friends want to order planes, and our wing The monthly production capacity of the Dragon Aircraft Factory is only about [-]. Now that the civil war is still going on in the country, and my own demand is not enough, how can I have any aircraft for export."

In fact, Kyle Smith also owns a certain amount of shares in the aircraft manufacturing plant, and of course they are well aware of the real estate capacity of the manufacturing plant.They were angry not because they couldn't buy the plane, but because Hua Fei actually signed a contract with Germany.If it hadn't been for the outbreak of the civil war, I am afraid that the German army would have been equipped with this type of aircraft at this time.

"We know this!" Kyle said with a sip of wine, "So our government decided not to embarrass you, and hope to buy design and manufacturing drawings and related manufacturing data from you. What do you think?"

Sure enough, hitting the ground was the idea, Hua Fei was not surprised.Even if Huafei doesn't sell blueprints, I believe that with their intelligence gathering capabilities and technology research and development level, they will soon develop similar aircraft.After all, the technical content of aircraft in this era is really limited. \*\

"Yes!" Hua Fei said without hesitation, "Our cooperation has been very pleasant, and your country has helped me build an arsenal. Of course, I can't refuse this small favor, so I will treat it as a reciprocal return. I will let you know the details. The staff will discuss with you when negotiating the contract, I only have two requests, and I hope to get help from my friends, Mr. Kyle and Mr. Smith!"

Kell Smith never expected that Hua Fei would agree so readily, and it went so smoothly, but they were stunned for a moment.When Smith heard the words, he immediately said in a conditioned reflex, "Mr. Hua, even if you say that, as friends, we will definitely give you the greatest help."
