Chapter 1006: The Third Army of the Iron Army

Several department directors and deans were waiting here, and Yuan Shikai was also very satisfied with the arrangements of the Northwest. With a brief introduction to the hospital arrangements, he began to understand the Northwest Hospital. The more he understood, the more shocked he was. Yuan Shikai, who knew a little about medical treatment, never thought that the hospital was divided into so many different types and disciplines, and many previous terminal illnesses were also possible to solve them. At this point, Yuan Shikai's mentality finally changed from plainness to interested.∈◆,

Yuan Shikai knew that he was sick, but he had always been secretive in his position. He was just a little discomfort, but gradually, this feeling of discomfort became more and more serious, and to a certain extent, it had affected his normal sleep and life. He thought he could bear it, but unexpectedly, when he arrived in the northwest, he unexpectedly discovered that a hospital that was so big, just looking at the continuous flow of people, he knew that it would definitely be effective, and maybe it could solve the problem once and for all.

The introduction lasted about 20 minutes, and Yuan Shikai naturally had a dedicated person to take charge. From the initial inspection to the deeper monitoring, Yang Yuanzhao knew something, and he also knew about Yuan Shikai's illness, and even sent someone to make appropriate arrangements. As long as Yuan Shikai went for the examination, there should be no problems.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at the time and it was time for the meeting to start. He asked the Northwest General Hospital to seriously receive Yuan Shikai, and then sued Yuan Shikai and left. In fact, compared with Yuan Shikai, Yang Yuanzhao's greater intention was to put the officers of the Beiyang Army on the other side.

The officers who followed Yuan Shikai to Baotou last night, those who could leave their names in history books cannot be said to be good names. As soldiers and Beiyang, those who left their names in history must be good.

Before, it was unlikely that Northwest would get them. Even if they were betrayed by the relatives, Beiyang still maintained the name Beiyang, which was to compete for power and profit among its own families. Only after they formed the actual warlords, they would tear their faces apart and start a head-on conflict.

Beiyang is not as betrayal as Yuan Shikai's resignation after he became emperor. Those who can come to Baotou with Yuan Shikai are all hardcore. When Yuan Shikai was determined to retreat, he was willing to come to the northwest to talk about Beiyang, which was to arrange a way out for them. With this as a prerequisite, the opportunity depends on how the northwest operates.

The reason why Yang Yuanzhao was so interested in the officers in Beiyang was that the Northwest Military Academy was established for so long that it had trained a large number of qualified soldiers. However, these people had no names in history and rarely crossed the threshold of regiment level. Currently, there are almost 60 divisions, and there are only 7 division commanders who are not celebrities in later generations. Perhaps it was accidental, perhaps inevitable.

When I opened the list of soldiers, I saw many familiar names. After these young figures had regular education, they quickly showed their talents, which made Yang Yuanzhao understand that history has inertia and inevitability. Compared with the Northwest, there were more generals from the Beiyang Army and the Beiyang Military Academy, almost starting from 1911. The mainstream for more than ten years, and even some, even played a role in the future War of Resistance Against Japan. No one would choose to give up such a treasure house of talents.

The success and the defeat of the enemy is the emperor and the minister. This is true. The rulers in Chinese history also did this according to this sentence, and the birds were kept in full bloom. The sorrows and joys were fully demonstrated. But for Yang Yuanzhao, in modern wars, as long as the logistics are controlled and some necessary controls are added, such as dispersing them, so that they should not serve as higher-level officers in the early stages, such as below the regiment level, at most, those who are the best, can be arranged into division level. With more than 3,000 people in a regiment in the northwest and about 30,000 people, and with the elite level of the Northwest Army, they should be satisfied, provided that they see the strength of these armies.

In the future, China will be huge and powerful, and the northwest will have sufficient foundation. We are not afraid of any storm caused by these Beiyang officers. Even for these officers, there is no shortage of war problems. In the future, there will be no shortage of wars. It is impossible for the country. The entire East Asia, Southeast Asia, and even going abroad and going to other continents, must use fighting to break the monopoly of white people. Then we must fight and conquer the other party.

In Yang Yuanzhao's opinion, these officers who should become generals on the battlefield cannot contribute to China due to different factions or ideas, which is a tragedy of China. The rise of any country will inevitably have a war. The two strong men of the United States and the Soviet Union in later generations will be the majesty that was born in the Second World War. If China wants to rise, there will inevitably be a large-scale war.

Under the influence of Yang Yuanzhao, the Northwest has actually intervened in this battle. Although it has not participated in the war, there is no choice among the two camps. The natural differences between the yellow and white people, the two races have caused the contradictions between the two sides to be irreconcilable. Perhaps they can be combined in a short period of time and will inevitably part ways in the future.

The Soviet Union is an obvious example. During World War II, in order to deal with the arrogant and powerful Germany, Britain and the United States pulled the Soviet Union into the world anti-fascist camp. However, afterwards, the two camps began to split. If it weren't for the Soviet Union's strong ability to withstand it, it would have been over after World War II. The confrontation between the two sides intensified. The Cold War between NATO and the Warsaw Pact was to put it bluntly that the United States had been entangled in a series of Western countries and confrontation with the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had no help except itself, and only dragged down and became disunited from Germany. The collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s also declared victory for one side, and the United States became the only single pole and the only superpower in the world.

China's position is similar to that of the Soviet Union. Now the great powers still have a huge sphere of influence and interests in China. Once the northwest unifies China, it will almost certainly face the great powers. In this case, if you have to choose a weak alliance, otherwise, without China's support, Germany will finish it immediately. Britain, France and the United States will turn around and join forces to deal with China without being traumatized. This is something the northwest does not want to see. The northwest has a huge army and a strong air force. However, such an independent war against the world is very unfavorable to China's development and will at least waste precious development time.

With Yang Yuanzhao's status, it is impossible to recruit these officers in person, but there are special arrangements for these Beiyang officers to take the Beiyang officers' regiment to visit the live-fire exercises of a group of Northwest Army. This is different from a performative exercise, which is a real exercise for practical combat. The entire exercise lasts for three days, and all the light and heavy weapons except aircraft and armored vehicles will be used, which basically represents the strongest attack power in the Northwest.

The army responsible for participating in the inspection is the ace army in the northwest, and it is also the 3rd Army that will be equipped with armored vehicles, tanks, armored trucks and other motorcycle transformations as soon as possible after the arrival of future wars. They still have a half brigade and are still on the grassland to conduct adaptive training for tanks and armored vehicles...

The Third Army was born from the Third Division, which was once the early days of Northwest independence. The commander was the famous Shanxi Wang Yan Xishan. This professional background was a flexible mind and also left a strong mark in the history of later generations. His personal strength was quite strong. With the support of the Northwest, this army, both soldiers and weapons and equipment, was complete, and he had a great ambition, and he also started his military career.

The most stringent training. The title of Iron Army has been under Yan Xishan's name since the Third Division. Half of the Northwest Army, the number of qualified soldiers trained in annual bullets is about 3,500 to 5,000. The Third Army reached an average of 7,000 rounds. The proportion and quality of the special archers are among the top among the entire Northwest Army.

Of course, the Iron Army cannot only have archers, and it also attaches great importance to technical equipment. The popularity of personnel and technical equipment of the reconnaissance regiment, combat will and tactical training types are the best in the Northwest. If the First Army is not too famous and the title of the First Strong Army will be the top of him. Sending the Third Army to fight is really to show its strongest strength, so that the Beiyang officers will be completely desperate and then consider the recruitment issue.

Yan Xishan did not get the opportunity to fight in Shandong, so he put it all in his energy. He put it on this exercise, carefully planned it, and even some places used some real skills to visit the Beiyang Officer Regiment. After three days, he returned to the hotel. All the three heroes and other Beiyang Army officers stopped talking. An army in the northwest was also an army of the First Class, with about 105,000 people, and with a logistics of 130,000, it seemed that the number of people was equivalent to 6 towns.

Quantity is always the combat effectiveness of the army. Before watching the exercise, Feng Guozhang, Duan Qirui and others believed that even if the Northwest Army is strong, 50% of the more power can always be dealt with. At most, the Beiyang may not be the opponent of the Northwest, but maintain a certain proportion of the quantity and combat effectiveness. With the development of the German fleet, the Northwest will have to pay a huge price to go to the Northwest. This loss will even affect the Northwest's stability to China, and even endanger its own stability.

This idea is very marketable. Even after Yuan Shikai decided, Feng Guozhang still thought so. After a real exercise, they realized that they were looking at the sky with real swords and guns. Not to mention anything else, even if there is only one army in the northwest, it is enough for Beiyang to eat a pot. One-on-one, one-on-two are not opponents at all. As for more, no one thought so much. Perhaps with all his efforts, Beiyang can deal with the Third Army, but next, there are only two armies, which is enough for Beiyang to eat a pot, not to mention the three armies, which is not the end of the northwest. The northwest can easily mobilize millions or even millions of troops. (To be continued.)
