Beiyang reactionaries

"French?"

When Wang Kai heard Li Youxun pointing to the side of the guide, he immediately understood what it meant, and then suddenly realized.To the south of Yunnan is French Indochina, which is Vietnam.It is the French who currently control it.

"kindness."

"What do you mean? The general wants to deal with the French?"

Wang Kai was a little surprised.

Dealing with the French is not up to the people below.Not to mention Li Youxun, the director of the Yunnan Police Department in front of you, and Fang Dingying, the commander of the Third Army and Ye Quan, the commander of the Ninth Division who gave orders to Wang Kai. Such determination.

Because that's French.

Britain and France are currently the two hegemons in the world.Although the European War was tragic, after the victory of the European War, Britain and France will once again divide up the greatest benefits after the war.Who dares to mess with France like this?

But soon Wang Kai laughed.

Yes, who dares to mess with the French.In the current China, it is estimated that except for Duan Xun, no one really dares to provoke France.Duan Xun even bombarded British warships last year, so arresting a few French businessmen is nothing.

So he immediately said, "What do you need me to do?"

"French merchants used the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway to transport opium into our Yunnan, and they were French merchants, so we couldn't inspect their stuff. This made them a little unscrupulous. But French merchants can be unscrupulous, but those opium merchants dare not be so rampant. So French merchants will bring opium to the border of Yunnan and Guangxi, and then sell it to opium merchants. I am here to catch them all. I hope you will give me a battalion of troops. There are many guards around them, and I need the help of troops. "

"Well, it's no problem to transfer a battalion."

Wang Kai nodded.

The military department has issued an order, not to mention the transfer of a battalion, even if it is a regiment, Wang Kai can only agree.

"I need elite troops. I need troops that can fight, not recruits who have never fought. Don't mess with me when the time comes."

"Humph."

Wang Kai snorted coldly and said, "Brother Youxun, I'm not boasting. Any battalion of my [-]th Brigade will be first-class when pulled out. Don't say it's against the guards of a few opium merchants, it's against the superiors." The regular army, against the Beiyang army, is also a top two. You can use it with confidence, if you are not at ease, do you want me to lead the team personally."

"Brother Yujie, I don't dare to trouble you. If the higher-ups know that I let you, a major general of the army, and the brigade commander of the army follow me to perform tasks, I don't know how to punish me."

Li Youxun waved his hands again and again.

Who is Wang Kai.

He is known as one of the six brigade commanders of the Yunnan Army, and he also leads the elite troops of the Yunnan Army.Since the Dian Army accepted Duan Xun's reorganization, the Dian Army troops have also been expanded, becoming a reorganization division with a full staff of 4000 people.Moreover, the division organization of the Dian army is different from other divisions on Duan Xun's side.

Some other divisions are organized as two infantry brigades, and in addition to the two infantry brigades, there are a series of other supporting units.However, due to the special situation of the Yunnan Army, the plan of reorganization was to use the infantry brigade as the main force.In addition to the three infantry brigades under the jurisdiction of the several divisions reorganized by the Yunnan Army, there are much fewer other supporting troops.Some supporting troops that should have been handed over to the higher-level military headquarters.

For example, a normal reorganization division should have a supply regiment, but the reorganized troops of the Yunnan Army canceled the supply regiment and handed over this function to the military headquarters.The supply brigade of the military headquarters is also responsible for the logistics of the Yunnan Army Division.The same is true of the gendarmerie regiment, which is directly supervised by the gendarmerie brigade of the military department.

This is for a reason.

The first reason is that although the Dian army had a small number of troops during the reorganization, there were too many officers, so it was not so easy to arrange.Therefore, such a division is basically composed of field brigades.The advantage of this is that it is easy to expand the army in the future.

The current Dian Army Division has three infantry brigades under its jurisdiction, and it is entirely possible to transfer one of the infantry brigades, or stuff it into other troops, or expand it.Then the military department will provide the original Yunnan Army Division with a supply regiment and a gendarmerie regiment, so that the Yunnan Army Division can be organized like other divisions.

Of course, this is only the superficial reason.

In fact, the bigger reason is to control the Yunnan Army Division, so it has weakened the division headquarters and strengthened the establishment of the brigade headquarters.The officers above the division level of the Dian Army are all bigwigs of the Dian Army and veteran generals of the Dian Army. These people are not easy to control.

The brigade commanders of the Yunnan Army were all members of Duan Xun's People's Party recruited in Yunnan.Therefore, strengthening the strength of the brigade headquarters and weakening the strength of the division headquarters can control the Yunnan Army Division in a disguised form and prevent him from having problems.

Wang Kai and his brigade consisted of 500 people.

Moreover, this group of Yunnan army brigade commanders are very promising officers.Even though Wang Kai is just an infantry brigade commander now, maybe one day he will become a division commander immediately.And maybe, in Li Youxun's opinion, it will definitely not last more than a year.In other words, within a year, the brigade commanders of the Yunnan Army will all become division commanders.

In the current China, those who can reach the division commander level are all senior generals.

With such a general, Li Youxun dared to let him lead the troops himself.And now that the situation is so critical, it looks like war is on the verge of breaking out.How can the chief officer of the army leave the army at will.

"Which battalion are you giving me?"

"kindness……"

Wang Kai thought for a while and said, "Liu Zhengfu, you take Liu Zhengfu with you."

"Liu Zhengfu? Is he now a battalion commander?"

"Yes, what do you think?"

"Row."

Li Youxun nodded.

Li Youxun really knew Liu Zhengfu.Because he is one of the very different officers of the Yunnan Army.The Yunnan Army is an army whose proportion of officers graduated from a military academy is much higher than that of most domestic troops.

The Dian Army holds the Lecture Hall in its hands, and has trained thousands of graduates since the end of the Qing Dynasty.And there are only so many people in the Yunnan Army, so there are really countless graduates from military schools.At present, most of the officers of the Yunnan Army graduated from the Yunnan Lecture Hall.

Even if they are not regular graduates from the lecture hall, many of them are recommended by the army to study in the lecture hall.Some grassroots officers of the Yunnan Army were appreciated by their superiors, and if they wanted to train him, they recommended him to study in the lecture hall.After training in the martial arts hall, you will be promoted when you return to the army.

But this Liu Zhengfu was different.

Liu Zhengfu's family was too poor, so he started working at the age of 15.Later, in 1909, when he was only 17 years old, he defected to the Yunnan Army and worked as a groom in the Yunnan Army.It was a peaceful day.

But at the age of 19, the Revolution of [-] broke out, and the Chung Ninth Uprising also broke out in Yunnan.Unexpectedly, the groom Liu Zhengfu took the lead and made great contributions in the attack on Kunming.Therefore, he was promoted to monitor.

Who told him that he was not a graduate of a military school, so although he made great contributions, he could only be a squad leader.

After that, he followed the Yunnan Army in the South and North Wars, and even served as the captain of the Death Squad several times during the War to Protect the Country.Because of more and more meritorious service, he also became the company commander of the Yunnan Army.Liu Zhengfu was really young at that time, a 25-year-old company commander of the Yunnan Army.

Already great.

Many military students who graduated from the lecture hall may not be able to become company commanders when they are 25 years old.Therefore, Liu Zhengfu is still quite famous in the Yunnan Army.Liu Zhengfu was able to become the company commander because of his fierceness.

Even Li Youxun knew that the Dian Army had such a company commander who was almost illiterate when he first became an officer and was completely different from other officers of the Dian Army.Unexpectedly, after two years, he has become the battalion commander.This is even more commendable.

At present, the Yunnan Army can reach the battalion commander level, which one is not a graduate of a military school.Even if they are not direct military academy graduates, they are all officers who have received short-term training in the martial arts hall.

Where is a battalion commander like Liu Zhengfu who has not received any military education.

"Hurry up and make arrangements. But don't make too much noise, and don't let people know that I am mobilizing your troops. This matter must be kept secret, and no rumors can be spread. I will wait in Xiao Village, north of your camp. You asked Liu Zhengfu to come to me with his troops. We have enough weapons and ammunition."

"I see, you can rest assured to wait for the troops I send in Xiaocun."

"it is good."

"Director Li, how do we arrange it?"

Li Youxun was reported by cable.
