While shaking his head to retort, Xu Shuzheng spoke another person's name.

"Jiang Fangzhen!"

Hearing this name, Duan Qirui frowned at first, then thought about it, nodded and said:

"This is indeed possible!"

Duan Qirui did not have much favorable impressions of Jiang Fangzhen, the former principal of Baoding Military Academy. The reason was very simple. The reason why Jiang Fangzhen was able to serve as the principal of Baoding Military Academy in the first year of the Republic of China was not only that he was a talented student who graduated from the Japanese Military Academy and was highly respected by Germany.

In addition, what is more important is that he first proposed to the president that the Beiyang Army was a bit sluggish now, and that a group of new military talents should be trained to enrich the army in the future, so as to strengthen the army and fight against foreign countries in the future.

In the case of Japan's invasion of Japan, his suggestion played into Yuan Shikai's heart. That's why Yuan Shikai let him preside over the Baoding Military Academy in order to cultivate a new group of military talents, or Yuan Shikai's military talents. But his advice undoubtedly offended him.

Having lost the entire Beiyang collective, it is natural that Duan Qirui is not well received by him.

"This person is a rare person without selfish motives!"

Seeing that the boss agreed with his point of view, Xu Shuzheng said again:

"Boss, Yuan Xiangcheng established this officer model regiment just to build his Yuan family class for the eldest son and expand the border defense army. Our top priority now is not to intervene in his second model regiment."

"Then what is the top priority? Please tell me."

"First, the top priority now is how to get him to send out the border guards."

Xu Shuzheng said, looking sideways at Duan Qirui. The border guards were a thorn in the side of the Beiyang generals and a clear proof that the president did not trust them. But now, instead of stopping there, the president has the intention to intensify his efforts.

What is the second phase of the Officer Model Corps? In the end, it will either fall to the expansion of the border guards, or it will fall to the divisions and brigades to add sand.

"Second, how can we get Li Zicheng to side with us?"

"Li Zicheng?"

"That's right, if the Prime Minister stands with us on this matter, then Yuan Xiangcheng will have no choice but to be dumb and eat coptis!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Shuzheng stood up and left.

Xu Shuzheng left, and Duan Qirui's eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. He naturally understood Youzheng's thoughts, but... Yuan Shikai was always kind to him, and it was really... to keep scheming against him like this...

"This is war!"

In a courtyard outside Nanjing, looking at a dozen young officers in front of him, the officer wearing a military uniform said to these young officers in a somewhat cold tone.

"This war is different from any war you have ever been exposed to. You are in a war every moment. The battlefield will not be as sharp and cruel as the battlefields you are used to, because it is not

Unlike war in the traditional sense, here, the boundaries of the battlefield are blurred. On this battlefield, there is no so-called distinction between the rear and the front. It can be said that I admit that to some extent, on this battlefield,

The ideas we uphold will violate the military ethics we are accustomed to, but this is nothing compared to the role it will play in the future-this war is inevitable.

Staring at the officers standing at attention in the courtyard, the colonel's expression was serious and his words were cold when he spoke these instructions.

"What are we going to win this war with?"

After a rhetorical question, the colonel fell silent. While he was silent, the sixteen young officers in front of him were also silent. Their expressions were solemn, but their faces showed the perseverance to sacrifice themselves at any time.

"You must realize that in this country, the clouds of civil war are not far away. I can even tell you responsibly that civil war will definitely break out! And it is right before your eyes!"

The colonel's voice was not loud, but it made all the young officers breathe tight at the same time. In the military education they received, they were constantly instilled with the concept that the duty of soldiers is to defend the country and the nation. Civil war, in Jiangsu

In the army, the term civil war is sensitive.

In the classes of the Officer Education Corps, the instructors kept telling them that internal strife was a major feature of traditional Chinese politics, and many people were proud of it, but a life-and-death civil war was very shameful, because

What dies is the essence of a generation or even generations of a nation.

Among the Jiangsu Army, the animals they admire most are not those ferocious beasts, but ants. Ants have many advantages. They are united and those in the same nest will never have internal strife and civil war; they are selfless and do not care about workload or calculations.

Whether they get more or less; they are fearless, and they fight one after another in the face of invading foreign enemies; and this is the quality that real national soldiers must possess.

Although anger enveloped them when the envoy was assassinated, and they shouted for revenge, when faced with the orders of the general staff, everyone chose to obey. They were not really willing to engage in a civil war.

But now the chief told them that the civil war was about to break out. This was somewhat unacceptable to them. Hasn't the strategic envoy already gone to Beijing? Won't he become the prime minister tomorrow? Why is the civil war still breaking out?

"This is not a sensationalism, but to tell you the facts. The fact is that civil war may break out at any time, but you, the battlefield you are about to enter, will help avoid the outbreak of civil war, or at least eliminate it.

In the bud!”

"Oh, what kind of battlefield will that be?"

Listening to the commander's instructions, Ma Siqin thought anxiously that maybe he did not want to see the outbreak of civil war, but in his opinion, many problems in China could only be finally solved through war.

"Well, if the civil war really breaks out, then all problems can be solved. Yuan Shikai is no longer needed, no one else is needed, only the Prime Minister is needed. He will definitely be able to..."

Just as he was talking to himself like this, he heard the commander say.

"Young officers, your country needs you now. It needs you to take off the uniform of the Jiangsu Army. It needs you to join the Central Army and enter the Central Army to influence that army. The country needs you!"
