Beiyang reactionaries

It's really going to war.

If possible, Yang Yongtai is really unwilling to fight Japan.After all, in Yang Yongtai's view, Japan is a very powerful opponent.But now that Duan Xun has decided, Yang Yongtai will help Duan Xun handle the matter more satisfactorily.

Yang Yongtai just stood there for about 3 minutes, quickly tidied up his clothes, and then went out.Because Yang Yongtai has a lot to deal with, and he will soon face public opinion.

This is Yang Yongtai's work.

When Yang Yongtai was talking with little Pan Youji, Duan Xun had already arrived at the military department.Duan Xun will regard the military department as his office for some time to come.

This time things are too big.

There are many people attending the meeting.Not only members of the Ministry of Military Affairs, but also many senior officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs, as well as senior generals from the Northeast, Rehe, Gyeonggi, and Shandong regions also came.

"Now the meeting."

380 Conflict Escalation 3

"Now the meeting."

Yang Yongtai met with the Japanese ambassador Pan Youji. When the two sides were at war, Duan Xun had already come to the military department and held a military meeting.

At the last moment, although China and Japan did not completely tear their skins apart, they were almost there.There is no need for any cover-ups on both sides.Since the exchange of fire between the Chinese army and Japanese warships in Anqing, the two sides have no room for maneuver.

There will definitely be wars.

The only big question is when and how to fight.The Japanese side will definitely start discussing what kind of military action to implement soon.

To act with the navy, or with the army?

However, how Japan discusses and prepares is already far behind Duan Xun.Because Duan Xun didn't prepare for a day or two or a month or two for today.

Instead, it took several years to prepare.

"What happened, I think Ge Jingen has told everyone."

"Yes."

"In this conflict, the casualties on the Japanese side will be about a thousand. This is the first time in the past few years that such a scale of casualties has occurred. On the Japanese side, the Japanese military will never tolerate it. Of course, I will not tolerate foreign countries. How domineering the army is on our land. Therefore, the war between us and Japan is inevitable. Japan will not just pass by, and Japan takes military actions, we cannot be passively beaten. "

Except for the members of the military committee who had been psychologically prepared for a long time, many people were very surprised.Duan Xun has always had a good relationship with Japan.

The same goes for the military.

The two sides communicated a lot.

China sent many international students to study in Japan, and also brought in many Japanese instructors.Especially in the navy, as well as in the artillery operation of these technical arms, many Japanese instructors will be used.

As well as Chinese arsenals, there are also many Japanese technicians.

Not to mention the Japanese staff in various other factories.China is really good for them and cannot be better.In those arsenals, the army, and some other steel plants, railway construction, and power plant construction, those Japanese technicians are paid the best.Live in the best house, the salary is the highest, almost give what you want.Because they have technology, and China needs their technology.

No one expected that the situation would suddenly reach this stage.

Such a big conflict broke out in Anqing and caused so many casualties of the Japanese army.

How could Japan just pass by like this, they will definitely retaliate.In other words, the war between the two sides is completely imminent.

"I have been studying in military academies since I was a child. I have studied in various military academies for more than ten years from the infant class, army elementary school, army middle school, military academy crash course, Baoding military academy, and Japanese non-commissioned officer academy. I started fighting in the west of Henan. I have been fighting for ten years. After fighting for so many years, I am tired of war. I don’t like war very much. We live in peace and try our best to develop the economy. We live in a peaceful age. What a yearning thing. But I don't like war, but I'm not afraid of war. Especially the evil neighbor like Japan, who wants to bully us and suppress us by military means, I just can't let him do what he wants. Others insist If you want to fight me, I will never choose to back down. Because I know one thing, when you are in war, the more you are afraid and the more you give in, the more the other party will underestimate you and bully you."

"Since the Japanese army has provoked us and is about to fight us, there is nothing to say. Peace is fought, not retreated. Fight, fight resolutely, and must fight with the prestige of our army. Let Japan see, also Let the powers of the world see that the current China is no longer what they could have ravaged a few decades ago. And since there is going to be a fight, it must be a big fight, and they will never stop until there is a result."

When fighting, what advice do you want?

In previous meetings, Duan Xun always asked everyone to express their opinions, and then set the tone himself.But now the time is tight, how can there be time to talk so much with everyone.

And this is an army, and what is needed before a war is an order.

So Duan Xun set the tone directly.

beat.

"Prime Minister, I support fighting."

Li Jishen, Deputy Minister of the Military Department and Army Commander, was the first to speak.Firmly supporting Duan Xun said: "Prime Minister, I remember that the Prime Minister said when he taught us ten years ago. The future of China is in the hands of our generation. Shame. We have worked hard for more than ten years. Now our country has such a huge army, accounting for hundreds of millions of military expenditures every year. At this time, our soldiers are not in charge, who will be in charge. If we retreat at this time, then what face do we have? With so much military spending."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

Xiong Kewu, Minister of Military Affairs of the Ministry of Military Affairs, agreed.

"Prime Minister, what was one of the slogans we used to overthrow the Manchu Qing? It was the Manchu Qing's loss of power and humiliation of the country. Now that we have established the Republic of China, if we only know about the loss of power and humiliation of the country like the Manchu Qing, then what are the slogans we shouted more than ten years ago? We have so many troops, but we dare not even fight, how will we gain everyone's trust in the future. If we dare not this time, then we will not dare next time. Compromise again and again, the final result is that we will completely Break the backbone of our army, break the blood of our army, and our army will inevitably be a force that will not fight in the future. Only when we dare to fight and fight can our army be able to fight."

Xiong Kewu dared to say it.

They are from the Revolutionary Party, and many of you present here are from the Revolutionary Party and participated in the Revolution of [-].Even Duan Xun's student Li Jishen participated in the Revolution of [-] when he was in school.

But Duan Xun is not.

Not only did Duan Xun not participate in the Revolution of [-], he was also a direct descendant of the Beiyang Army.I don't know how many battles I fought with the Revolutionary Party.But everyone is not surprised.

Xiong Kewu's temper has always been like this.

If someone else said that, everyone should think about whether this person is mocking Duan Xun.But when Xiong Kewu said that, everyone wouldn't feel that way.

"Well, that's it."

Although Xiong Kewu has such a personality, his ability is very good.

Every sentence touched Duan Xun's heart.

Therefore, Duan Xun praised Xiong Kewu, and then continued: "Yue Wumu said, 'Civilian officials don't love money, military officials don't hesitate to die, and the world is peaceful'. To maintain combat effectiveness, an army must have the spirit of not being afraid of death, and those who dare to fight. Spirit. If the soldiers are afraid of death and the army looks forward and backward, then who will defend this country and this nation. Over time, our army will lose its morale."

"Prime Minister, since the war is inevitable, our navy is mentally prepared for the destruction of the entire army, and we must fight this battle."

Sa Zhenbing is very serious.

navy.

Compared with the Japanese navy is very weak.But since there is going to be a war, Sa Zhenbing is not a person who is afraid of war.

let's hit.

During the Sino-Japanese War, it was not that they had never fought.At worst, the navy will be wiped out.

"Prime Minister, our air force is also ready for all wars. As long as the country needs it, our space force will not retreat."

Qin Guoyong also expressed his opinion.

The commanders of the sea, land and air forces have already expressed their views, so there is nothing to say.Especially those who came to the meeting today are basically senior generals of the garrison around the Bohai Sea.
