Beiyang reactionaries

"Prime Minister, although General Yang is from the Air Force, he is very familiar with the situation of our navy. The combat mode of the navy is also changing with the emergence of new weapons."

Shen Honglie spoke.

Shen Honglie and Chen Shaokuan also followed Duan Xun to the south as representatives of the Navy of the Ministry of Military Affairs.Duan Xun also has a headache about how to develop the navy.Because of China's current situation, how to develop the navy will not be an opponent of the Japanese navy in a short period of time.China is far behind in shipbuilding technology, and its technology accumulation is very poor.

It is very difficult and impossible to surpass the great powers in a short period of time.

So we had to think of other ways.

Moreover, Duan Xun also hated the factions within the current naval force.From the top to the bottom of the navy, there are officers from Fujian.Although in the early years, they made great contributions to the construction of the Chinese navy.But now they have become an entire faction.They are working together to exclude other naval officers, and what to do with them is also a big problem.

Therefore, Duan Xun is preparing to form another naval force.

The most promising ones are Shen Honglie and Chen Shaokuan.The two of them are young and thoughtful, and their thinking about the development of the navy coincides with Duan Xun's.

Here, Shen Honglie is from Hubei, and although Chen Shaokuan is from Fujian, he actually doesn't have much relationship with the current Fujian officer of the navy.He has been studying and investigating abroad for a long time, and later became an important naval staff officer for Duan Xun.

"You are all young generals of our army. Today, Deputy Chief Li (Li Jishen) and Chief of Staff Xu (Xu Yongchang) are both here, so I will not hide them. In recent years, Deputy Chief Sa (Sa Zhenbing) has treated me I am very dissatisfied, because the Ministry of Military Affairs does not always take care of your navy in the distribution of military expenditures. Since I took over Beijing, I have not really purchased a few warships for your navy. Deputy Chief Sa asked several times, hoping to buy more Some large warships like battleships, but I always refuse. You two also have a lot of grievances."

"No."

Shen Honglie and Chen Shaokuan immediately shook their heads.

Duan Xun smiled and said: "Did you not dare, or did you not? But it doesn't matter. Let me tell you directly, whether we buy battleships or build warships ourselves, we will not be able to catch up with the great powers in a short time. It is not at all It will be the opponent of our neighbor Japan. A century-old navy, a century-old navy, the development of the navy is not enough in one or two years, two or three years. That's why I will stop the development of the navy. But it doesn't mean that I really don't want to Hope to develop the navy. Although our country is not an island country, we also have a long coastline, and we need a strong navy to defend us."

"I've read the naval development report you two handed me, and it's exactly what I want. Since we lag behind the big powers in the development of traditional warships, we should adopt another model. Deputy Chief Sa and the others are old. The development of aircraft carriers has no concept, and I don’t quite understand the new development of the world’s navies. You two are young navy generals, and you should dare to accept new things. I plan to establish a naval aviation and submarine force in the navy. The main development direction of our navy in the future is aircraft carriers and submarines."

Start again.

Duan Xun prepares to create a new naval force.Duan Xun planned to slowly phase out the original naval force, and most of them were incorporated into the customs and became the anti-smuggling force.

This will completely break the current situation where the naval faction is too serious.

It can also be used to develop aircraft carriers and submarines.Duan Xun never thought that China would become a naval power in a short period of time. Duan Xun only considered protecting his own coast.

Therefore, developing aircraft carriers and submarines is the best way.

"But the aircraft carrier is a new thing. It may be a great success, or it may go the wrong way and fail in the end. The same is true for the submarine force. If it succeeds, it is easy to say. But if it fails, the future of the few of you will be affected. .The two of you are willing to accept this task."

"obey orders."

Shen Honglie and Chen Shaokuan immediately stood up.

Duan Xun nodded, looked at Yang Xianyi and said, "Xuehua, you are a pilot, and you are very familiar with air force operations. Therefore, I want you to participate in the construction of the naval aviation force. Transfer your relationship from the air force to the navy." .I don't know what you think."

"Prime Minister, I obey orders."

"it is good."

"The three of you should prepare well from now on. The military department will form a naval aviation unit within this year. I hope you will not be in a hurry by then."

"Yes."

After talking to the three of them, Duan Xun said to Li Jishen: "Ren Chao, the Ministry of Military Affairs wants to form a chariot unit. See who is suitable to be in charge of the chariot unit."

"Wang Tianpei."

Li Jishen did not hesitate.

Because Li Jishen knew that this was a benefit Duan Xun gave him.Li Jishen has been handing over work during this time, because Li Jishen understands that he will leave the army soon.He was about to leave the army, but Duan Xun still asked his own opinion.This is to allow yourself to promote someone you like before you leave.

So Li Jishen gave a name without the slightest hesitation.Chariot troops, this is a new branch formed by the Ministry of Military Affairs.Primarily tank units that emerged from World War I.

Now the Beijing government has a fiscal deficit every year, but it still hasn't cut much military spending, it just invests in the development and manufacture of these new equipment.

At present, although the Chinese Army does not have many tanks and armored vehicles, it has already begun to manufacture tanks and armored vehicles.The Chinese Academy of Armored Forces has also been established to train tanks and armored vehicles.

"Wang Tianpei?"

"Yes."

Duan Xun nodded.Wang Tianpei was also an old subordinate of Duan Xun in Yuxi and had been fighting under Li Jishen.Li Jishen fought in the Southwest, until he fought in Guangdong, and Wang Tianpei was a pioneer.

"Okay, then let Wang Tianpei prepare. Let Wang Tianpei select some people and send them to study in England."

"Yes."

"Prime Minister, Nanjing is almost here."

"I see."

"Condolences."

"Thank you."

Nanjing Purple Mountain.

段勋在1925年6月3日做专列离开北京，一直到6月5日才来到了南京。休息一天之后，1925年6月7日参加了孙中山的葬礼。本来内阁已经是给足了孙中山面子，政府重量级人物直接参与了孙中山的治丧委员会，参与孙中山的治丧。

But in addition to these, Duan Xun went south to attend Sun Yat-sen's funeral in person, which can be said to have surprised many people, and even caused a sensation in China.Because Duan Xun and Sun Yat-sen have no friendship, and they have always been hostile.Duan Xun has been suppressing the Kuomintang since he took over Beijing. None of the bigwigs of the Kuomintang has entered the government.Including the army, officers from the Kuomintang are rarely promoted unless they leave the Kuomintang.

But this time at Sun Yat-sen's funeral, Duan Xun appeared in person.This was the first time Duan Xun left Beijing after entering Beijing in 1920, and his influence was even greater.Because of Duan Xun's arrival, Sun Yat-sen's funeral was very grand.

Who is Duan Xun?

The Prime Minister of the Cabinet of the Republic of China is the current actual controller of the Chinese government and the current actual controller of China.So many people say that Duan Xun is centralizing power now, and he has not held a parliament for a long time, just to become the emperor in the future.Being able to spread such words shows Duan Xun's current strength and status in the Chinese government.Duan Xun is currently in control of all the power of the party, government and army.Such a "semi-dictatorial" figure coming to Nanjing is a big deal for the local army and officials.

The top officials of the Jiangsu provincial government and the generals of the army here, such as Wan Xuancai and Yu Xuezhong, all came to Nanjing.And because of the arrival of Duan Xun, the whole of Nanjing was one step at a time, and row after row of guards participated in Sun Yat-sen's funeral.

The crowd was full of people.

Half of the current cabinet members came to Sun Yat-sen's funeral.Army general, dozens of people came.

"Prime Minister Duan, thank you for coming."

When Duan Xun came to Sun Yat-sen's funeral, he first bowed three times to Sun Yat-sen.Then I briefly talked with Sun Yat-sen's family, including Sun Yat-sen's wife Soong Ching Ling, and Sun Yat-sen's son Sun Ke.These are all procedures, and the funeral committee has specific steps, who comes first and who comes later, has specific steps.After finishing all this, Duan Xun talked to several bigwigs of the KMT.At present, there are still many famous revolutionary leaders on the Kuomintang side.

Although many leaders of the revolutionary party passed away in the early years, including Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, and Song Jiaoren, the leaders of the League have all passed away.But there are still many bigwigs left behind by the Kuomintang.

Many of them were famous as early as the Revolution of [-], and many of them were well-known revolutionary parties throughout the country.Including Wang Jingwei, Hu Hanmin, and Liao Zhongkai, all of whom are well-known figures in the Revolutionary Party throughout the country.

They were very grateful for Duan Xun's arrival.

Chinese people care about two things the most, that is weddings and funerals, and they pay special attention to funerals.Sun Yat-sen died, if the government ignored it, it would be too hurtful for the Kuomintang, and it would be too desolate for Sun Yat-sen.

In the beginning, they actually had this concern.Because the Kuomintang has been in decline for a long time, since Sun Yat-sen was kicked out of the French military government by Lu Rongting, he can only concentrate on retiring.
