Gai Tianjiu scratched his big bald head and shook his head, saying, "Xiusheng, why are you doing this troublesome? What about your style? It's not like your style. I'm so tiring. I support General Wei and asked me to tell me that I will lead troops directly into Beijing, arrest the people of the Democratic Party and pull down the Gongzhu's grave, and dig a hole to bury it. Then I directly announced that you are the president. Who dares to be the president? Who dares to be dissatisfied? I will die first." Gai Tianjiu was not thinking less, but that his knowledge and insights could not be more profound. This is also the reason why he can only be a powerful general. Solving political issues and military issues is the most direct but ultimately endless troubles.

Wang Maoru shook his head and laughed: "You must have rules to do things. Without rules, you cannot be a square one. A way of dealing with things that are eager for quick success and instant benefits will only bring about self-destruction. Do I have to commit the following heavy troops now and interfere with politics by force? Then, when I am old in the future, I will be loyal to me in the future? You will also be replaced by young people in the future, and they will also learn from us? It is conceivable that young officers will definitely defeat you and follow us now and arrest us. Because what we are doing now is their role model in the future, so your suggestion sounds very labor-saving. As long as you have military power, you will control everything, but it is actually the most unfeasible way to bring the greatest harm to the country and the nation. I don't want to be eager for quick success and instant benefits. What I need is strength and strength at every step."

Jiang Fangzhen and others immediately stretched out their thumbs and exclaimed: "What Xiusheng said is the ultimate wisdom of the ages."

After everyone praised it for a while, Sa Zhenbing said, "Xiusheng. Have you really made a decision? Have everything been arranged properly?"

Wang Maoru shrugged and said, "I have decided that I have already made up the military power... Although I don't directly control it, it is in your hands. I believe you will also help me watch out for this army, so I asked you six of you to come here to discuss it secretly." He said to the other five: "If I resign from the position of the Chief of National Defense in the future, the Chief of National Defense will definitely have a deputy chief to take over. You must cooperate well with Minggong."

Sa Zhenbing pretended to be frightened and shirked to Shimeng: "I am 64 years old this year, but I can't take on this important task." The so-called old spirit, ghost, old spirit. Sa Zhenbing thought that if Wang Maoru handed over his position, it would definitely cause power struggles within the army. How could he, an outsider, be the chief of national defense? After Wang Maoru resigned, the chief of national defense would definitely be selected from the National Defense Forces. The selected new chief of national defense was a puppet of Wang Maoru, who was at his control and mercy. But even so, I believe many people are still willing to fight for him. The chief of national defense. That is equivalent to the position of the Grand Marshal of the ancient military. Who can withstand this temptation?

Wang Maoru has so many talents under him, and everyone is staring at the position of successor chief. Look, maybe the 12th year of the Republic of China will be a very bloody year. He is old and cannot stand the trouble, so his old bones are unwilling to be in factional competition.

Sa Zhenbing also knew that there were actually many factions in Wang Maoru's army, the largest of which were Li Delin's Baoding Department and He Rufei's Land University. In fact, the predecessor of the Army University was Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. Later, Yuan Shikai strongly advocated the relocation of the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy to Tianjin and merge with the Tianjin Military Academy to build the Army University. However, the part of the Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy who remained in Baoding later continued to run schools. It eventually became the current Baoding Army Academy, with the Lu University and the Baoding Military Academy coexisting at the same time.

However, when Yuan Shikai built the Army University, he pulled away all the good teachers and students from Baoding Army Non-commissioned Officer College. So much so that the Baoding Army School, which continued to stay in Baoding in the later period, lacked teaching staff and even lacked campus construction funds, which also led to the students of the two schools not affording each other. Baoding Military Academy said that the Army University had no foundation, and the Army University refuted that the Baoding Military Academy had nothing but foundation. (How come it seemed to be a battle between Evergrande fans and Luneng fans...)

There was originally a model system led by Li Pinxian and Fei Chaogui, but now it has disappeared.

In addition to them, the newly emerging factions in the army are the guardians led by Yong Xingbao, Wei Dongling and Liu Zhe. Most of the guardians are officers who graduated from the Yakeshi Army's Non-commissioned Officer Academy. As for Yong Xingbao's position as Chief of Staff, it was all facilitated by Wang Maoru. Wei Dongling and Liu Zhe were both close ministers who had been their deputy chiefs, and they were even more loyal to Wang Maoru, because only Wang Maoru would value them.

Sa Zhenbing knew the factional trade-offs within the National Defense Forces, which was who Wang Maoru entrusted the army to, to whom he was a hot potato, and who did the army listen to? He listened to the General Secretary of the National Defense or Wang Maoru? If he listened to the General Secretary of the National Defense, the officers loyal to Wang Maoru would definitely kill this new General Secretary of the National Defense... Regardless of whether Wang Maoru was the master of the emperor or not, Sa Zhenbing went through the Li Hongzhang era, the Banner Cabinet era, the Yuan Shikai era, and the Duan Qirui era. Now it can be said that he is a veteran of the five dynasties. How could he not understand this truth?

Seeing Sa Zhenbing refuse, everyone understood what it means, and couldn't help laughing at the old conservative. At this time, Jiang Fangzhen was about to speak, Wang Maoru waved his hand at him and smiled first, "Let's do this, I'll say it."

Everyone immediately cheered up and looked up at him. Wang Maoru said, "Isn't this still a while? At least one and a half years later, I am preparing to resign as the Chief of Defense and be a candidate for this president. I asked you to come today to reveal this information to you and also to prepare you mentally. The army is to protect the safety of the people, and I established it with one hand. Starting from the Flying Team Garrison, the 13th Brigade of the Border Defense Army, to the 17th Mixed Brigade of the Beiyang Army, and then to the Heilongjiang Border Defense Army, Heiji Alliance, Northeast Army, and National Defense Army. My army is something that others cannot be involved in." Everyone was shocked. My army is something that others cannot be involved in. It means that even if I don't become the Chief of Defense, the National Defense Army must still have me to command. No matter who is the Chief of Defense, it is either his puppet or a dead person.

Wang Maoru said with no doubt, "So, please help me, and I will give you the highest trust. During this year, I am going to make a large-scale exchange of military officers. This is not only a change of officer positions, but also a change of personnel positions. Some people who have little intentions and tricks in their minds will get him out of the army or hang up."

Gai Tianjiu immediately said, "Yes, just Wu Peifu, who speaks loudly, I don't like him."

Wang Maoru smiled slightly and said, "In a word, those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish. This year I will further strengthen the control of the army. I hope you can help me."

Do you dare not help him? Isn’t that asking for death? It’s just how to help him? Wang Maoru reminded everyone that he is not only a commander, but also a politician, but also an executioner who kills people without blood.

After the secret meeting, Wang Maoru visited Tang Shaoyi's mansion again. As the Chinese New Year approached, Tang Baoqi brought his children to his father's home in Beijing. Caini and Zongze were a little scared and unfamiliar when they saw his father. However, he teased him for a while before he became familiar with him. He was no longer a heretic. Wang Maoru told Baoqi to go home for the New Year, and Baoqi said, "Go home? I won't go. I was so frustrated at your house last year. Either you come here to spend the New Year with my father, or you go back to spend the New Year with your other wives."

Wang Maoru blushed when he was choked and had to say in disappointment: "Give me some face in front of the child."

Tang Baoqi said: "Okay, then you are not allowed to talk to me about going to your house for the New Year. I can't stand you with other women. You don't know that I'm not that generous."

"Come on, I will never touch your bad temper again." Wang Maoru raised his hand and surrendered. Tang Baoqi was happy proudly and blinked at him playfully, saying that you can't do it anymore, please give it to me.

After dinner, Tang Baoqi took the children to play. Wang Maoru and Tang Shaoyi went to the study to have tea and talked about the Sino-Soviet Friendship Treaty. Tang Shaoyi was very excited, but wondered why Wang Maoru still kept it confidential and did not disclose it to the public. Wang Maoru smiled and said, "This is not that. The Spring Festival is coming soon. I am going to announce it on New Year's Eve and give the people of the whole country a gift package to make the people of the whole country happy."

Tang Shaoyi nodded and said, "So that's it."

Wang Maoru took a sip of tea and continued, "My father-in-law, you have worked hard for the past few years in the government. Especially between me and President Sun, I am a knife and very sharp, and so is Sun Dapao. Thanks to you, we will not quarrel. It can be said that nearly half of the credit for China's stability is your old age."

Tang Shaoyi also printed a sip of tea and said slowly: "What do you think Xiusheng might as well say it directly. It's useless to flatter me. I don't know what you think?"

"You have guessed it?" Wang Maoru said in surprise.

Tang Shaoyi nodded and said, "It's time to close the net, right?"

Wang Maoru smiled and said, "Yes, it's time to close the net. I gave up running for president three years ago just to prepare for next year." He sneered, "Now, the melon is ripe and the pedicle is falling, and it's time to pick the fruit of victory."
