Republic of China game

In August 1925, Sichuan was still suffering from prolonged drought and little rain, and a large-scale drought was inevitable.Fortunately, the civil war in Sichuan is over, and the senior Kuomintang officials who ruled Sichuan can finally use their brains to think about disaster relief.Two large black cars drove into the gate of Huangshan Villa in Chongqing, one after the other. They were Sichuan Provincial Chairman Xiong Kewu and Provincial Party Director Shi Qingyang who were invited to a meeting to discuss disaster relief.Although Xiong Kewu was at odds with Luo Yaoguo and Shi Qingyang, everyone had no choice but to let go of their prejudices and find countermeasures together during this extraordinary period of catastrophe.

Xiong Kewu got out of the car, and saw Luo Yaoguo had already lined up in front of the villa with a group of staff members respectfully.Although the two are not on good terms, they still have to do superficial officialdom.

Seeing Xiong Kewu, Luo Yaoguo enthusiastically took a step forward, gave a solemn military salute, and then warmly shook hands with Xiong Kewu: "Mr. Jin, it's great that you can preside over this disaster relief meeting. Now Sichuan University Drought, those of us who are soldiers only know how to fight and kill, how can we know how to rescue disasters! I hope you always give us some advice."

Although Luo Yaoguo's face was extremely humble and his tone was sincere, to Xiong Kewu's ears, these words were still intriguing, and there was something in them.You are a soldier, am I not?He has led soldiers for more than ten years, although Xiong Kewu has always regarded himself as a soldier, er, or a warlord, although he lost more than he won in battles.But now the warlord himself has few soldiers in his hands, and the young man in front of him has completely disintegrated and disintegrated.Could it be that I can only be a civil servant in the future?

After a long while, Xiong Kewu sighed: "Fuwen, you are now my immediate boss, the director of the camp, representing the prime minister, and also taking charge of the military affairs of Sichuan. You should preside over the disaster relief meeting. If you have any ideas, just say That's it, our provincial government fully cooperates. There were some misunderstandings between us in the past, but I, Xiong Kewu, will never hinder the livelihood of the people of Sichuan because of these things." Having said this, Xiong Kewu couldn't help but look at him with complicated eyes. He glanced at Luo Yaoguo.In fact, he had already asked the national government to resign a few days ago, but it was not approved.And it was vetoed by Sun Yat-sen. It seems that the prime minister wants to let the two of them continue to check each other in Sichuan.

At this time, the car carrying Shi Qingyang also stopped at the entrance of the villa.The veteran of the Kuomintang, who had long since lost his army and turned into a civil servant, got out of the car, with a hearty smile on his face, and strode towards Xiong Kewu and Luo Yaoguo.Behind him was a thin, middle-aged man with deep-set eyes who avoided protruding ears.

As soon as everyone arrived, the so-called disaster relief meeting began in the conference room on the second floor of the Huangshan Villa.It's more of a meet-and-greet than a meeting.Disaster relief, in Luo Yaoguo's mind, is not too complicated. The consequences of the drought in Sichuan this time are nothing more than agricultural failures, and it is enough to transport a million tons of grain from the lower river to distribute.Although Sichuan suffered a disaster this year, the harvests in other southern provinces are good, and there is no shortage of food. The key is how to prevent corruption and embezzlement.

Luo Yaoguo was the first to speak, and explained his own method: "My plan is to monitor from multiple parties and make the accounts public. The counties, divisions stationed in Sichuan, and the provincial government will each send some cadres to be responsible for the distribution of disaster relief food. In addition, the procuratorate can also be invited. Send personnel to supervise, and at the same time, disclose all the accounts of the distribution and use of disaster relief food and funds to the people of Sichuan. Make sure that disaster relief materials are distributed to the victims in a timely manner, and prevent corruption and embezzlement." This method is actually the military management that Luo Yaoguo came up with To avoid concentrating the power of disaster relief food management in the hands of a few people.

"It's a good idea. But in the supplementary text, have you ever thought about turning this drought into the beginning of Sichuan's construction?" As soon as Luo Yaoguo's words fell, Shi Qingyang, the director of the party department, took over the topic: "This drought is estimated to be the beginning of Sichuan's construction." Millions of people fell into famine, and among them there were tens of thousands of young and old. It would cost a huge sum of money to hire so many laborers for construction in normal years, and they may not be willing to leave their hometowns to work. Now we can just organize a group of young adults through the counties to come out to provide work relief for the construction of infrastructure in Sichuan Province."

Shi Qingyang looked at Luo Yaoguo and Xiong Kewu who were in a daze, then pointed to the middle-aged man beside him and said, "This is Lu Zuofu, the manager of Sichuan Minsheng Industrial Company, and an old member of the League. He proposed to me a plan to mobilize some farmers in the disaster area I think it is feasible to organize a construction company to undertake the construction of the Chongqing Railway and the new urban area of ​​Chongqing, so I brought him here today."

Lu Zuofu?Isn't it the big capitalist in Sichuan Province in history?Luo Yaoguo smiled at him, thinking that this capitalist really has a bad conscience!He actually came up with the idea of ​​using the victims as cheap labor to carry out "relief with work", and also wanted to undertake two projects of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway and the Chongqing New District under this name. If these two projects were given to him, Minsheng Company would have to do it big.Hehe, this Shi Qingyang and those bosses of the industrial group must have invested, so let's give the industrial group a face and support Minsheng Company.

Luo Yaoguo smiled faintly. He has always advocated supporting capitalists to carry out economic construction. He does not approve of setting up many public enterprises and letting a bunch of bureaucrats do the work of capitalists. Only the Communist Party can do this kind of thing, and the Kuomintang cannot do it.He looked at Xiong Kewu, smiled and said: "Mr. Lu's idea is very good, I agree very much. I don't know what Mr. Jin thinks? If Mr. Jin agrees, we will jointly request the Executive Yuan to start the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway in advance. And the project will be contracted to Minsheng Company, and I will also send engineering officers to participate in the project, and be an engineer for Sichuan people for free."

Xiong Kewu nodded slowly: "Since you all agree, I can't object. Besides, it's good to start the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway one day earlier. Our generation has participated in the road protection movement, and the right of way is in the end. It has been saved, but the railway has never been completed! Now that the civil war is finally over, this project can also start, but does the Nationalist government have so much money?"

Xiong Kewu was a little worried about the financial resources of the national government. In his impression, the Chinese government was all beggars, with only IOUs in their pockets and no money.The Chengdu-Chongqing railway is 505 kilometers long, and if it doesn’t cost more than 1000 million yuan, I’m afraid it won’t be able to be taken down, right?

"Money is not a problem, the key is to have a good environment. We used the opportunity of the Communist Party to enter Beijing last time to get back the tariffs from the imperialists. One is stable. With such an environment and tariff protection, our economy will develop soon. There are nearly 10 billion yuan of deposits in banks in Shanghai waiting to be released. There are projects like the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway. Can’t borrow money? And now the China Railway Company under the management of the Ministry of Industry is about to issue shares, and the wealthy overseas Chinese businessmen in Nanyang have already made reservations through various channels. They have a large number of wealthy businessmen with tens of millions of dollars What! As long as there is an environment in the country that allows them to make money, how can they not attract investment?"

Luo Yaoguo suddenly got a little excited, and his voice also raised his voice: "Although we started a bit later than Japan, our family background is still stronger than theirs in a great country that has been around for thousands of years. If we start to catch up now, we will definitely catch up!"

In just three years, under the effect of Luo Yaoguo, a big butterfly, half of China has gone from being divided into civil wars to unification. It has also achieved independent tariffs. Heavy industry has also started in 23 years. By next year at the latest, the Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant The Hainan Iron and Steel Works, a Sino-German joint venture, will be able to roll out rails, and the Shaoguan Iron and Steel Plant will be able to produce special steel in the next year, and the 150mm caliber cannon will be localized by then.And recently in Daye, Hubei, there is another large-scale iron and steel enterprise with a total investment of more than 2 million yuan and a "three-nation loan" of 3000 million U.S. dollars. It is preparing to start construction with an annual output of one million tons. put into production.In addition, in Ma'anshan, Anhui, the Ministry of Armament also plans to invest in the construction of a large-scale iron and steel enterprise with an annual output of one million tons. It is estimated that construction will start next year and production will start in 1929.

Chapter 0206 build

Speaking of Sichuan, people often have two impressions in their minds. One is the Land of Abundance. Sichuan has a vast territory and abundant products, and the Chengdu Basin is also fertile and has a humid climate. It is indeed a rich land comparable to Tianfu.The second impression is that the road to Shu is more difficult than going to the blue sky. This metaphor may have been exaggerated before the 20th century, but it was true in the 1920s.Therefore, in order to turn Sichuan's rich land and resources into a source of power for the rapid development of Sichuan and even China, the most critical thing is to develop Sichuan's transportation.Sichuan has coal, iron, abundant water resources, and various rare metal minerals, but there is no road, and the good things in Sichuan cannot get out, and it is also difficult to bring in machines from outside.Not only Sichuan, but also Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are equally rich in resources and inconvenient in transportation. In the inevitable war between China and Japan in the future, the resources of the Southwest must play a more important role.So the work to start in 1925 was to develop transportation.

Now Luo Yaoguo really envies those time travelers in other novels, why can they develop heavy industries so easily?Why is it his turn, the development of industry should start with customs duties and road construction!In Luo Yaoguo's time and space, China's immature heavy industry is not competitive at all. If there is no protective tariff, it will definitely lose money until it goes bankrupt. Now this problem has always been solved thanks to the blessing of the Communist Party.The second problem is to build roads. Roads can only be built here, especially in the southwest. Not only roads but also railways must be built, and heavy industrial enterprises can only be built in places where railways can reach.Otherwise, this production cost will also make the company go bankrupt in the shortest possible time.

Since Sichuan is now not only the rear of the future war of resistance, but also an important passage connecting the south and the west, and the rear of the new Northwest military plan, materials to support the Northwest operations will also be shipped from Sichuan in the future.Therefore, there are two railways to be built in the first step, one is the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, and the other is the railway from Chengdu to Guangyuanfu.The second step is to build the railway from Chongqing to Guiyang and the railway connecting Guangyuan to Xi'an.The third step is the railway in Guizhou and the railway from Shaanxi to Gansu. It is envisaged that it will be built all the way to Yumenguan. As for the railway to Xinjiang and the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, I am afraid that it will not be able to be built before the end of the Sino-Japanese War.

……

Once again, the Chaotianmen Wharf in Chongqing was full of military police with live ammunition, and a small steamer from the lower river slowly docked to the shore with the sound of sirens.This ship is now carrying Tan Kah Kee, one of the souls of South China's economic development.In this time and space, he was unexpectedly appointed as the Minister of Industry of the Nationalist Government, and concurrently served as the chairman of the China Railway Corporation.There are four large enterprises under the Ministry of Industry, namely China Railway, China Electric Power, China Chemical and China Shipping.These four companies are all government-business joint ventures, mostly with the participation of Nanyang Capital and Jiangsu-Zhejiang Capital. Among them, Tan Kah Kee himself is the largest individual shareholder of China Railway Corporation. This time he made a special trip to Sichuan to inspect the railway construction.

The real big capitalist is coming!It is said that the big capitalist with a family property of one million taels of gold took a secretary and a servant, bought a second-class boat ticket, and traveled thousands of miles from Wuhan to Chongqing on the small steamer of China Merchants Shipping Company. .

The big capitalist is a middle-aged man with a slightly fat body, fair skin, wearing a pair of round glasses that were more popular in the Republic of China period, leaning on a civilized stick, holding a somewhat worn-out leather bag, followed by a tall and thin man young man and a servant in his 40s.

Seeing the murderous gendarmes carrying rifles on the Chaotianmen Wharf, and a large number of high-ranking officers wearing general uniforms who were constantly wiping sweat, Tan Kah Kee found it a little funny. These soldiers like to make such flashy stunts.I just came to Chongqing to inspect the railway, not to inspect the army. Is it necessary?

Luo Yaoguo recognized Chen Jiageng, and when he saw that the richest man in China, who was probably the richest man in China, came to Chongqing with two entourages, he was also afraid for a while.Fortunately, I brought someone to pick me up. If you, the old man, let the pao brothers tie up the meat ticket, I am afraid that I, the director of the camp, will step down.

"Grandpa Jia, I'm looking forward to your coming." Luo Yaoguo went up to greet him, first gave the other party a standard military salute, and then enthusiastically stepped forward to support the "old man" in his 50s. The long stairs on the side go up.

Tan Kah Kee seemed to be very interested, and he smiled heartily: "During this time, I have almost traveled all over the southern country, and there are projects starting everywhere! I finally came to Sichuan, Fuwen, to have a look. Your Chengdu-Chongqing Railway Do you want to start work early?"

As the Minister of Industry, the happiest thing is to see the industries all over the country start construction one after another, and the climax of construction is in full swing.Due to the end of the civil war and the introduction of protective tariffs, investing in industry and commerce now is undoubtedly profitable with minimal risk. After all, the just-started industrialization is still too early to be "surplus"!As long as you work hard, you can generally make a profit.

"Our Sichuan is a land of abundance. The products around Chengdu are extremely rich, and the market demand is also great. If the railway is opened, the products in Chengdu can be directly transported to Chongqing by railway, and then transported out of Sichuan by the Yangtze River. The industrial products outside are also It can be transported to the Chengdu Plain via this railway. So please rest assured, Mr. Jia, this is a guaranteed business. If the government hadn’t stipulated that all new railways in southern China must be monopolized by the China Railway Company, I’m afraid that the gate of my business will be too early. It was trampled by businessmen who wanted to invest."

What Luo Yaoguo said seemed to be a manager, who was selling the latest products to big customers. He smiled and said, "The railway out of Sichuan is also profitable. From Chengdu to Baoji, it connects to the Longhai Line, and you can go west to the Hexi Corridor. , you can go east to Xuzhou. Jiagong, think about it, this is the traffic artery that connects the Northwest, the Southwest, and the South of the Yangtze River, and it will definitely be profitable—”

Tan Kah Kee was just listening along the way, but silently calculated the accounts in his heart. China Railway Company is not all official shares, but also has many commercial shares. Therefore, it is not possible to only calculate political accounts and not make economic accounts.After he and Luo Yaoguo got into the car, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Fuwen, the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway can start construction immediately, the work-for-relief you mentioned is a good way, I'll let the people from the railway engineering company To guide Minsheng Company to start the project. But the construction of the Northwest Railway should not be so hasty, it is not our territory now, is our investment safe?"

Luo Yaoguo was taken aback by his question. This is a question. The construction of a railway to the northwest is entirely out of strategic needs. As for the economic account, there is no way to calculate it. The investment of tens of millions may not be recovered.However, the youth army in the northwest is a tool for the country to fight for Mongolia in the future, so there must be a railway to guarantee logistics.There was silence in the car for a long while before Luo Yaoguo said slowly: "This railway must be repaired. It is a railway with strategic significance. I will find a way to use military expenses for investment. After the railway is repaired, the China Railway Company will be responsible for the daily operation. In the future, railways with strategic significance can be handled like this, Mr. Jia, do you think it will work?"

Apart from social security, the government's money is used to do this kind of thing. Private investment counts as economic accounts, and government investment counts as political accounts.This point must be clearly distinguished, otherwise, who would come to Nanguo to invest?As long as they are willing to invest, the government will naturally have huge financial resources, and that kind of strategic construction will also have money to carry out.In Luo Yaoguo's plan, there is a very important strategic industrial construction to be carried out in Southwest China, which is synthetic gasoline.Germany's I.Ben will overcome technical difficulties and industrialize it next year. This technology of using coal to refine gasoline produces poor quality gasoline and high cost. The cost is almost five to six times that of oil, and there is no economy. value, but it provided at least 100% of the fuel consumption for Germany in World War II.According to Luo Yaoguo's plan, in the future Sino-Japanese War, the national government's air force, navy, and motorized army will consume at least [-] million tons of synthetic gasoline every year.To this end, it is necessary to build large coal mines, railways and large chemical factories in the southwest coal-producing area, and the investment required may be hundreds of millions!

Chapter 0207 war film (a)

The leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Yan'an seem to be obsessed with a trendy thing recently-watching movies.

It was a gift from the Kuomintang in the south to their allies in October, a movie projector and rolls of film.There was a real battle recorded on the film, which was the Battle of Cangxi, which made Chen Mingren famous.What the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China got was not the edited version that was screened in major theaters in southern China, but the genuine unabridged original version!There were twelve hours of fighting, which looked more enjoyable than Hollywood blockbusters, but it was a bit tiring to watch, especially for comrades who don't know how to do it.

Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai are now sitting side by side on a bench, holding a few cornbreads in their hands, watching war movies with relish while chewing.This is not the first time for the two of them to read it. As military strategists who have not received formal military education, they are naturally very good at learning and will not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Enlai." Mao Zedong called out the name of his old comrade-in-arms, and he was about to make a comment again. He had led troops to fight for a long time, and he knew more about this job than Zhou Enlai, so he could see many problems.He smiled slightly: "The Kuomintang's defensive battles were well fought, better than those of the Zhensong Army, Ma's Army, and the Jin Army on the other side of the river. Look at the circular fortifications, how well the machine gun bunkers and the artillery holes are repaired! Our Red Army is much better than the They are too far behind. But this army is always missing something? Well, do you know how they are worse than the Red Army?"

Zhou Enlai took a bite of the delicious steamed bun, chewed it slowly for a while, and compared the two armies in his heart.To say that the weapons and equipment of the Kuomintang army is much better than that of the Red Army, it was a battalion position, and Zhou Enlai saw six heavy machine guns, and the bullets were scattered as if they didn't want money.Moreover, smoke columns appeared from time to time in the charging enemy line, which should be shelling. According to the instructions given by the Kuomintang, this is a regiment plus half a running battalion. There are six mountain guns and six regiment artillery companies. Mortar.This firepower is no worse than that of a division of the Red Army now.

Judging from their training level and organizational ability, it seems that they are much better than the Red Army. The artillery fires are very accurate, and the positions are well built. The whole battle is fought against the opponent, and there is no panic at all.How should the opponent Red Army fight if they encounter this?Zhou Enlai's brows were tightly knit together unconsciously.

"Their spirits are not as good." Mao Zedong's voice was very calm, as if he didn't care about the excellent performance of the Kuomintang army at all.He smiled and said again: "The Kuomintang army has good weapons and good training, but they don't have that kind of aggressive offensive spirit. They just want to hide in the position and consume the opponent. Even if they have the upper hand, they will not attack easily. Expand the results of the battle. Those Sichuan troops are really dumbfounded. Seeing such a solid defense and bumping their heads upwards, Chen Mingren has achieved a great reputation in vain."

"Oh, then the Kuomintang is nothing to worry about." Zhou Enlai stretched his eyebrows slightly, looked at Mao Zedong beside him, and asked again: "If we go to war with them now, what are your chances of winning?"

Mao Zedong smiled meaningfully: "If the Kuomintang came to attack northern Shaanxi, I would definitely tell them not to return. But if I were to lead troops to take back the southern country, I am afraid that we would be the ones who would not return. Although they did not have any revolutionary passion, but the strength is obvious. With the defensive ability of a regiment, I don’t think even one of our regiments can defeat them. Moreover, they have so many guns. If we really want to change our position, we still can’t beat them. The only way is to combine mobile warfare with guerrilla warfare. , this can only be fought in our solid bases, and it may not be easy to fight in their territory."

Zhou Enlai nodded. Mao Zedong's analysis was more optimistic than that of General Galen and General Pavlov.The two Soviet advisers believed that the current combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army was almost the same as that of the Soviet Red Army. Although they lacked the spirit of active attack, they still had the strength to destroy the Chinese Red Army. Therefore, the Soviet advisers suggested that the CCP should not provoke them for the time being.It is better to find a way to seize Shanxi first. With Shanxi's industrial base, and then compete with the Kuomintang or Zhang Zuolin, we will be invincible.

……

The same war blockbuster was also sent to Beijing.The Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, Beijing also set up a movie screen, and the Zhang family and his son, Guo Songling, and Yang Yuting, two senior participants, also watched the "play" together.Veteran General Zhang didn't just sit and watch, but paced in front of the movie screen, sighing as he paced: "Little Six, if our soldiers go to fight that position, can they be defeated?"

Zhang Zuolin never thought that the KMT would stay in the south and enjoy themselves. If so, there would not be such an elite army!The veteran also came from a military career, and he could tell what kind of guy the opponent was at a glance.Although the performance of the Kuomintang troops in the movie is not as good as that of the Kwantung Army, there is no problem with two fighting against one, and his Fengjun can reach four or five fighting against one at most!Now that the Kuomintang has 50 such troops, it is almost equivalent to the 25th Japanese army. If 25 Japanese troops came to attack the Northeast, would Zhang Zuolin have a way out other than hanging himself and wiping his neck?

"Ah... woo." Zhang Xueliang yawned, thinking what's wrong with his father?The Kuomintang has always been in harmony with us, how good they are in the south now!The family in such a fat place eats alone, and the annual income is said to be 10 billion yuan!Where is it like we don't even reach [-] million, and there are so many mouths to eat, Wang Yongjiang is almost dying of anxiety.What is the KMT going to do here?

"Yu Shuai, our way out now is to unify the north. Only with the north can we fight against the Kuomintang." Yang Yuting didn't wait for Zhang Xueliang to speak, and rushed to answer: "Our problem is not that our soldiers are not as good as theirs, nor that our weapons are not as good as theirs. , but the finances are not as rich as theirs. We can train our soldiers if they are not good, and we also have Fengtian Arsenal for weapons, but this finance is indeed our weakness. Soldiers can’t get full pay, so naturally they don’t work hard when they fight, and they don’t work hard when they train. There must be no motivation. Therefore, to solve our difficulties, we must first sort out the finances, and then solve Wu Ziyu and Duan Zhilao (Duan Qirui). Take Shandong and Henan, and then attack the Communist Party in Suiyuan and northern Shaanxi. The group of troublemakers is completely uprooted, so that they will not always incite riots on our territory! In this way, we can unify the north, I don't believe that we Yanzhao men can't defeat them Wuyue people?"

financial!Still finances!Fengzhang is anxious now when he thinks about finances, how can the money be so little!I originally thought that taking Zhili and Beijing could always earn tens of millions every year. Adding the central tariff and salt tax, there would always be 8000 million oceans a year, plus the original [-] to [-] million from the three eastern provinces. Finances are always going well.

Unexpectedly, the Communist Party in Zhili is now causing unrest. Either there are riots here or there. Now there are already several "clans" of the Communist Party on the Taihang Mountains clamoring every day to "kill all the local tyrants and evil gentry."As a result, Zhili's land tax was basically ruined, and only Tianjin was able to pass the commercial tax.The tariffs and salt taxes that originally belonged to the central government were also intercepted by various tyrants under the leadership of the Kuomintang. The only thing the central government can receive is the little money from its own one-third of an acre of land.

"We have too many soldiers now." Guo Songling followed up on Yang Yuting's words. He said, "Yu Shuai, the military is good but not too many. The Kuomintang has only 50 soldiers but sits on the entire southern country. In the north, we only serve There are nearly 50 troops under the banner of the army! Zhi and Anhui each have 90 soldiers, Yan Xishan also has [-] soldiers, and the Shaanxi army has a total of more than [-]. This does not count the Northwest and the Communist Party, and the army under our central government There are as many as [-]! It is really unbearable, we must lay off troops, and only after the layoffs can we have the strength to organize our finances.”

"But we want to lay off troops, while others are increasing, so our soldiers will be less than others? We will suffer a loss if we fight." Zhang Zuolin shook his head like a rattle when he heard the layoffs. , when it is used, it is too little.

"Then cut one piece! Hold a disarmament meeting, let all the families in the north come, and let everyone cut it together, won't the cost be saved?" Zhang Xueliang, who was silent for a while, suddenly proposed a seemingly A brilliant idea - hold a disarmament conference and let everyone cut together.

Chapter 0208 war film (two)

This is a small reception room of the Japanese Legation in Dongjiaomin Lane. It is a small room with exquisite furniture and Japanese-style decoration, and the smell of incense lingers in the room.A small movie screen is now pulled up on the tatami, and a projector is placed on the other side of the room. Black and white images are projected onto the screen, and the content is actually the film and television materials of the Battle of Cangxi.

Kneeling not far from the front of the screen were a few dwarfs wearing khaki Japanese military uniforms. One of them was a grey-haired, well-mannered, gentle-looking old man who was a lieutenant general.His military career was basically serving as a military attache and military adviser in China, and he had a very close relationship with every Chinese supreme ruler. Chief Military Advisor.Therefore, as soon as Zhang Zuolin received the film materials sent by the Kuomintang, he immediately copied them and gave them to Rihachiro Sakanishi.

"Itagaki-kun." Sakanishi Rihachiro smiled slightly, looked at the disciple beside him, deputy military officer Seishiro Itagaki, and said with a smile: "How is the performance of the Kuomintang army in China? How is it compared with the Imperial Army?"
