Chapter 286: Doubts of Competitive Existence
Chapter 286: Contest of doubt
In 1929, China broke out again in the south, and the momentum was even greater than the previous Northern Expedition. The uncovered powerful army and air force even attracted the attention of the world. Many countries with better relations with the China League of China sent military observation groups.
These military experts who came to China were surprised to find that on this land, there were weapons, equipment and tactical concepts that surpassed Europe. In particular, the widespread use of assault rifles, as well as general machine gun products, as well as powerful new tanks and armored combat vehicles.
Even if the naval warships with small tonnage make the great powers uninterested, these new weapons with outstanding performance alone are enough to make them feel that the trip is worthwhile. Many people have begun to plan to cooperate with Hualian, especially in the development of weapon systems.
Although it is just a cooperation intention, many people have indeed begun to pay attention to this new force wearing a mysterious veil. They have begun to evaluate the new status of Hualian in East Asia. The United States is very happy for this political organization that has expressed its cold attitude to Japan.
The conflict of interest between the United States and Japan in the Pacific made Uncle Sam eager to find a partner in Asia.
But no matter how international trends progress, Hualian is still a trivial role after all, and the conflict between the great powers also provides enough gaps and time for Hualian's rise.
In the country, the war also caused a large-scale riot. Ironically, the main location of the riots was actually under the rule of the ** Army. And in the hands of the angry people, the first banner was to protest the government's imposition of heavy taxes.
As for the slogans opposing the Hualian League to provoke civil war, they are only held in the hands of a very small number of people. This is the difference between the simple people and the public opinion orientation. The government attempts to guide the vent of conflicts, but the corruption problem of the red organization is not easy to fool people.
Unlike the economic operation mechanism of the ** Party, Hualian is internally divided into military expenses on the chaebols and then takes government debts as collateral. Simply put, it is to advance future expenses and use the government's reputation as a guarantee.
The internal economic and employment environment can be activated through the consumption of war. As long as the war is burned into other people's territory, there is no need to worry about the collapse of this mechanism.
On the other hand, the rosy regime can only call on others to sacrifice through faith and righteousness. But the people are usually unwilling to sacrifice for it. Exercise will inevitably bring resentment and dissatisfaction, so war will shake its foundation. Instead of in the capitalist world, war will stimulate domestic economic demand.
Of course, this kind of overdraft is not omnipotent, nor does it have no limits. Once the debt limit reaches its limit, that is, the government cannot even pay interest, the entire country will collapse and society will be endlessly turbulent.
However, ancient Chinese would naturally not let this happen. Zhong Yang was not a Jewish chaebol and was not pursuing endless wealth. The reason why this economic model was used was to complete a safe transition in this chaotic war era. Without military victory, everything was meaningless.
But not everyone can understand this, and some people have different views on the pattern of their family, country and the world. For example, the visitor who came to Tianhai Pavilion today, the number one seed player of the next head of Hualian, Mr. Chen Jiongming.
With indignation and dissatisfaction, he came to Zhong Yang's residence and planned to question the matter of war.
The atmosphere in the living room was a bit tense. Both of them were wearing business suits, with a refreshing and capable temperament. Coupled with the great power of being the superiors, it really made people sigh.
"President, the war is now very unfavorable for the economic development of our country. Please order it to stop." Although it was a question, Chen Jiongming still maintained the necessary restraint and respect in terms of attitude.
Now he is a core member of the Guwen Association and is also aware of some Zhong Yang's strength. Although he still doesn't know the existence of smart factories and subspaces, he also understands that the other party is an unfathomable big man.
In front of the soft and comfortable sofa, there is a polished mahogany coffee table, with the simple Western design style and the plexiglass mirror, which is indeed eye-catching. Two cups of high-quality tea that are fragrant and scattered, but it seems that Chen Jiongming and Zhong Yang have no intention of paying attention to enjoyment.
Zhong Yang had no expression on his face and just replied faintly: "Mr. Jingcun, why do you object to this war?" Looking at the other party's eyes, Zhong Yang did not delay and directly asked the words in his heart.
The intimidating gaze made Chen Jiongming feel tremble, and he remembered that the other party was a terrible man, and his voice became a little low: "President, the finance department is already heavily in debt due to the war. If this continues, the government will be swept by the chaebol. If the people know about this, they may immediately rebel."
Looking at the other party's bitter smile, Zhong Yang actually understood Chen Jiongming's thoughts. This person has both talent and character, but he did not have the awareness of being a superior. He thought too much and instead forgot the fundamental strategy. The result was naturally timid and finally sighed.
"Mr. Jingcun, you still don't understand." He picked up the teacup on the coffee table, tasted a sip of fragrant tea, stood up with infinite regret and sigh, patted Chen Jiongming on the shoulder, and stood in front of the window sill where the sunlight was slightly tilted into the window, and continued.
"I really don't understand what the profound meaning is here?" Chen Jiongming is also upright and has his own principles in his life and work. He is rigid but admirable. Only such a man can become a noble politician, even if he is not even qualified in terms of means.
Looking back and looking at the young and upright figure, Zhong Yang's tone was not harsh: "In your opinion, can the war between us and the ** Party be avoided? Or, have you not figured out what Sun Yixian did back then? Peace will not come, this is a chaotic world."
"War is not the only way. We can work hard to promote peace. China can no longer withstand such twists and turns." Chen Jiongming also understood Zhong Yang's words, but he still could not agree with it. He was an upright and noble person and absolutely could not agree with this kind of fighting and internal fighting for the sake of interests.
Because of the war, Hualian integrated the internal division of strength and even led to economic development and employment. However, this is not a reason for the crime of killing, and it cannot be washed away by self-righteous justice or needs.
Zhong Yang was also unwilling to give in. His confidence had never been shaken: "That was not decided by us. After the Party's Northern Expedition was completed, the Southern Expedition was inevitable. However, the war burned to our territory, and everything I had done before would be gone. I can only take the initiative before this happens."
The cold and ruthless words hit Chen Jiongming's heart. Zhong Yang is a superior who is far away from good and evil and will not be entangled in this so-called constraint. The key is that Chen Jiongming knows that every word Zhong Yang said is correct.
He himself was once a member of the ** Army's combat sequence. After going through so many things with Sun Yixian, he had experienced so many things, how could he not understand the mystery?
Taking advantage of the fact that the ** Army failed to form a joint force, it was indeed a relatively clever strategy to defeat several of them first. Real wars and choices are often simple and open-minded actions. Even if the other party sees it, there is not enough time to react.
Although the coalition forces in the Southern Expedition are now huge, they are actually thunder and raining, Chen Jiongming also sees this. But he still cannot agree with such reasons for the war. He believes that better solutions should be sought. The killing between each other will only make the island country east of the sea have greater ambitions for this place.
Seeing that Chen Jiongming was in a bad mood, Zhong Yang also sighed and comforted him: "Mr. Jingcun, don't worry about this. I have a sense of responsibility in the war. Not only is I consuming the vitality of the ** Army, but I am also helping Jiang Ruiyuan purify his army and forcing him to make choices that are beneficial to us."
Hearing this, Chen Jiongming was also stunned: "How do you say this?"
"You must have seen Jiang Ruiyuan's talent, and he does have the potential to achieve the king of humans. He is a smart person, so it is easier to judge his decisions. Now the ** party's military and political components are divided into several parts, and internal restraints consume a lot of power. Once facing foreign enemies, these will become unpredictable hidden factors."
"Does the president want to weaken the branches and leaves and highlight the main trunk?"
"Mr. Jingcun really hit the nail on the head, that's what it means. Smart people will let others consume their strength and then intervene in the end. As for the bottom line, when Jiang Ruiyuan's direct troops enter the battlefield, it is when we sit down to negotiate. And most importantly, I am willing to help the ** Party establish some military industrial system."
"What?" Hearing this, Chen Jiongming was really shocked.
Judging from the situation, Zhong Yang's approach is no longer just to raise a thief, but to raise a tiger. I don't know where he got his confidence, but Chen Jiongming, who is calm by nature, still feels that he should be persuaded: "President, is it too risky to do this? I think the proposal to sell arms is very inappropriate. Now there are too many uncontrollable factors in helping him establish a military industrial system."
"Industry is a complete industrial system, and with the internal system of the ** Army, it cannot develop at all. Even if it develops, there are many problems. Moreover, in order to deal with the upcoming Sino-Japanese War, this level of preparation is necessary. I believe that you have read some information and should know the choices."
"I understand, just follow your opinions." With a depressed mood, Chen Jiongming nodded in agreement. Although he had principles, he was not pedantic. There were always unsatisfactory things in the world. He had experienced this a long time ago and understood the truth.
After determining the purpose and direction of the war, Chen Jiongming also left Zhong Yang's mansion and went to work with relevant units in a unified and secret manner.
The army is fighting in the front, and the government departments are not light. The secret gathering and mobilizing of troops, the accelerated production and transportation of ammunition, and the feedback of the latest intelligence of the Intelligence Department converted from the Military Intelligence Bureau are all in a tense and secret manner.
In the early morning of February 1, on the road from Hengnan County to Hengyang, a long convoy was moving forward with high spirits. Looking at the Canglong Banner hanging on the carriage, you can tell the identity of this army, the Huajun, who was in the limelight recently.
When the first batch of thirty-six trucks whizzed past one by one with dazzling headlights, the residents of Hunan Province who had just popped their heads were surprised to find that the soldiers on the car looked more like soldiers in terms of momentum and appearance than the soldiers they had seen.
The entire uniform and excellent equipment of the system and the howitzer pulled behind the car made them feel that their hearts were fluctuating violently. Because of the war, they also knew some of the equipment of the Chinese army, especially those prisoners who were dismissed back to their hometowns, spared no effort to promote the strength of the Chinese army.
The regime has not yet established prestige, but at least it must first buy the seeds of fear and obedience, which is also the effect that the Chinese army wants to achieve.
The first batch of 1st Battalion of the First Division of the First Army, the first batch of departing, broke into the garrison area of a garrison regiment deployed by Li Jishen on the road. A few minutes ago, the situation was even more chaotic by the shrill whistle. Five minutes later, the first batch of 75mm howitzers and 86mm mortar shells and planes whistling through the air made the situation even more chaotic.
"superior"
Mo Xiong, who was already the platoon leader, waved his hand and the assault platoon began to attack the front position defended by the garrison regiment. When it was still 200 meters closer to the position, the machine guns on the opposite position began to roar, and the soldiers hurriedly fell to the ground to hide themselves.
"At 1 o'clock, machine gun fire cover." Mo Xiong hurriedly issued an order to the fire squad beside him. This was a gangster who was still a miner two months ago, but now he has become a non-commissioned officer with a formal military position.
The upgrade from leading the way to becoming a soldier of the Chinese army was a major transformation and a reflection of his own talents.
"Shits..." The high-speed fire rate of Torrent Universal Machine Gun makes it sound like they can't tell the difference between a single gunshot. After several years of improvement and actual combat tests, the Torrent iii-type Universal Machine Gun with the ability to tear apart has been unanimously loved by the soldiers.
The super high firing rate, accurate hit rate, and the appropriate description made the warriors praise him. Although each warrior had to carry a bullet link to ensure its firepower sustainability, with it roaring around him, whether it was offense or defense, it was an enemy's nightmare.
The rapid fire of the machine gun suddenly suppressed the firepower on the opponent's position. Because of the high-speed fire like a torrent, shooting against him was a temptation to die.
After several years of training, machine gun shooters have mastered the performance of this machine gun. With a slight tap on the plate, at least 5 or 6 bullets flew out. The accuracy of the "torrent" is higher than that of the Maxim machine gun. Usually, it is not just one shot, but two or three shots hitting a person.
One bullet can make a big hole in the human body, and two or three hits basically directly declare the person's death.
Successfully suppressed the opponent's firepower, the assault squad rushed to the front position again, but just less than 50 meters away from the position, a hidden firepower point began to spit bullets at the soldiers, and the soldiers rushing in front were swept down at once.
Then there were machine gun bullets mixed with rifle bullets, hitting the mud in front of him. Stone chips and mud were flying, and the scene was chaotic. The two soldiers were also lucky, and they were not concentrated. They still saved their lives with the emergency medical kit they carried with them.
Due to the shooting angle issue, the machine gun needs to change its shooting position to suppress the firepower point, which can waste every second on the battlefield and waste the blood and life of the soldiers.
"Call the regiment headquarters and find the enemy bunker group." Mo Xiong called the correspondent, shouted at the microphone at the top of his throat, and asked the fire detective beside him, and put the enemy's target datagram on it.
Not long after, three planes covered dozens of bombs and bombs of the enemy's firepower points. The high-explosion power suddenly bombed the firepower points cluster into the sky. Half of the gun barrel even injured an unlucky warrior 60 meters behind from the air.
This is also because the other party is in a good position and cannot stand up and use the grenade, otherwise there is no need to call for air support.
When it advanced to the barbed wire fence fifty meters away from the position, two soldiers from the fire platoon brought up a cylindrical object thirty millimeters thick and eight centimeters long. This was a blasting tube designed by Tianyu Group based on the drawings provided by Zhong Yang. It is best to use this to remove the headache-inducing barbed wire fence.
As the blasting tubes were connected one by one were placed under the barbed wire, a roar was ripped open by the blasting tube.
The ** Army was an army trained and guided by Soviet Russia. This kind of defensive fortification was learned from the European battlefield in World War I. The deep trenches and several shooting ports, and the sufficient force, would be the nightmare of infantry. Unfortunately, they did not understand it. It would be meaningless to learn but not use it.
Europe uses this kind of trench based on the fact that there is enough firepower for heavy machine guns, but if a battalion in China may not be able to get a machine gun, this kind of trench warfare is looking for death in front of the Chinese army with torrent machine guns with more fierce firepower than the Maxim type and short-range direct grenade guns.
Entering the enemy's defense position, the soldiers advanced in depth along the fortifications. The 7-round loaded No. 12 large-caliber shotgun felt like a fish in water in this short-term battlefield. Conceptually aiming at a gun would hit a large area, and it was difficult for the enemy soldiers to hide.
The battle in the trench ended soon, but when we entered the barracks, the battle was a bit difficult. Because the barracks were built on rocks and were scattered sparsely on the back of the mountain, the 75mm field howitzers could not be shot, while the 60mm caliber ultra-light mortars were reduced a lot due to their low power and special terrain.
Usually, one shot can only kill one or two enemies at the drop point. Moreover, the enemy troops have been in chaos for so long, and they can start to piece together some counterattacks.
"Brothers, the artillery of the Southern Bandits is useless. Everyone cheer up and hold on to the superiors who sent people to reinforce and eliminate the Southern Bandits in front. I will invite you to drink and spread the ocean."
A commander burst into tears to encourage his soldiers. Stimulated by money and rewards, the morale of the enemy's sudden disappearance suddenly recovered a lot, and some people even hid in the bunker and began to swear.
In terms of attitude towards the Chinese army, the ** army has always been called the Southern Brethren...
