"I want to see the situation of the army, but I don't know if it's OK!" Before Qiao Yu could speak, Wu Tong interrupted and made a request to watch the army. Qiao Yu knew very well that this young man did not respect his local army. No wonder the number of international students was small at this time, so naturally they were arrogant, and there were very few students studying in the United States.

Isn’t that the same thing about Tang Yisheng and Zhao Baoxuan? Qiao Yu was not afraid of Wu Tong’s arrogance. The key was to be really capable. He wanted to take the exam, so he also wanted to see his level. So he nodded slightly: “Okay, I can let you go and have a look now!”

Before a few people arrived at the military camp, Wu Tong saw the buildings in the military camp, his eyes lit up. The barracks were neat and the school ground was level. The most important thing was cleaned clean, which was different from the dirty and messy military camps elsewhere. The guards were straight and majestic. After carefully searching the bodies of several people, they were put in. Even Qiao Yu was no exception. Discipline is the soul of an army. Being able to meticulously implement military discipline is related to the strength of an army's combat effectiveness. Wu Tong gradually began to put away his pride and carefully looked at every detail.

From every move, we can see that these soldiers are well-trained. Although they are still a little immature, they are already quite good. And they do not have a large number of big smoke ghosts like other troops. The quality of the army is absolutely first-class. Soon they arrived at the school ground again, and a team of soldiers were training to shoot.

Wu Tong found that these soldiers were all using the most sophisticated Mauser rifles, and they were completely live-fire shooting. The shooting results of dozens of soldiers were stable at around the 90th ring, which was already very good.

Several people walked around again and visited many rules and regulations one after another. Qiao Yu introduced the personnel arrangements again, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Wu, how do you think of this army!"

"From the choice of military sources, to weapons and equipment, to military appearance, and even training, they are first-class. Although there is still a gap compared to the strong army in the world, even the Beiyang New Army may not be able to overcome steadily in China! But what I want to say is that the current army cannot be called an army, at most it is a well-trained policeman! It is not a regular army."

When Wu Hengchang, who was standing by, felt something was wrong when he heard his cousin talking like this. His cousin was really rude, so how could he speak like this in front of others? Moreover, after looking at it all the way, he also felt that Qiao Yu's army was indeed very different from the old-style army. How could he not even count the regular army? Then what was the Qing army?

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yu actually laughed: "Mr. Wu, what you said is right at all. The foundation of this army is the patrol team, and it is an army that has not been established for a long time. It has fatal flaws and is much worse than the regular army!"

Seeing Qiao Yu admit it frankly, Wu Tong felt a little embarrassed: "Mr. Qiao, I am ignorant. Since it has been very good to reach this level soon after its establishment, it has undergone tremendous changes in military command since Napoleon. From individual command to collective command, the perfect staff system can exert the combat effectiveness of the army. Your army has no staff setting at all. I think this is the biggest flaw!"

"Mr. Wu, you are right, but have you ever thought that there is no foundation for the staff system? It requires a considerable number of outstanding officers as the foundation. Do you have such conditions in China now? Not many of my army have been educated in formal military academy. It is already very difficult to fully equip the chief officer. It is indeed difficult to fully equip the staff!"

Wu Tong gradually nodded: "Mr. Qiao, I am unreasonable and I have ignored the reality of our country!"

"The gap between China and the world is too big, but this is not an excuse for our despair. It is precisely the motivation for us to catch up. Moreover, the end of the Qing Dynasty is right in front of us, and China will start to catch up with the West! Mr. Wu, what China needs in the future is all kinds of talents. I cannot provide you with any senior official position, but I can provide you with a suitable stage without any external force, and you don't have to fall into factional struggles all day long, and you can't extricate yourself from fighting each other. I hope you can help me build a staff system. I have been to the United States. The Army General Service and Staff Academy is a good school. I hope you can bring out all the knowledge you have learned!"…

Wu Tong nodded and thought for a while, suddenly raised his hand and greeted a standard military salute: "Yes, sir!"

Tang Yisheng, Zhao Baoxuan, Wu Hengchang, Wu Tong and Qiao Yu are all thirty years old, and have been in the United States. They have had many similar experiences, and they are not as respectful to Qiao Yu as others, and they have had a lot of conversations with each other.

At this moment, someone came to report that the new Sichuan Governor Duan Fang was about to arrive in Chongqing with his army, and asked Qiao Yu to arrange the reception. When Qiao Yu heard that Duan Fang was going to Chongqing, he knew that all the conditions of the Xinhai Revolution were ripe. Duan Fang brought the new army into Sichuan. Hubei was empty and the Wuchang reign was right in front of him. Duan Fang was also sluggish and Yishuihan. Once he entered Sichuan, he would not return it. Now he would send the unlucky Sichuan Governor to the West.

Of course, Duan Fang also brought Yi Xie's army with a total of 5,000 people, which was also very threatening. Chongqing also had to be on guard. If Duan Fang knew what he had done, he would probably not enter Xichuan and directly destroyed himself. Therefore, he mobilized all the troops of the two associations. If Duan Fang dared to attack, he would destroy him first, but in that case, he would steal the glory of the first righteousness.

Qiao Yu didn't care about changing history, but before the Wuhan Revolution, it was difficult to guarantee that the Qing court would not use all its power to deal with him. His foundation was still a bit weak, and it was still a bit between the two.

After everything was arranged, the next day, Niu Chuanshan, who had been under surveillance, finally walked out of the Taotai Yamen, with officials from Chongqing, as well as all the big merchants from the Chamber of Commerce, and wise men from all walks of life, all waiting at the dock. Soon Duanfang's fleet arrived at the dock, Duanfang got off the boat, and waved cordially to the greeting crowd.

He came to Niu Chuanshan's side and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Mr. Niu, Chongqing is so stable, you have made contributions. Sichuan is in chaos now. Only under your rule can it be so stable. If the court had more capable ministers like you, the world would have been peaceful!"

Duan Fang smiled and tried hard, but Niu Chuanshan only felt that Duan Fang's words didn't sound so comfortable. Is it a merit to be blocked? Is it a merit to lose the local administrative power? He had to lower his head deeper and deeper, and kept shirking away! Duan Fang talked to others affectionately. When he arrived in front of Qiao Yu, Duan Fang looked up and down at the handsome young man, and said for a while: "Qiao Shunqing, I, Ling Zun and I were once the same palace officials, and his health was fine?"

"Mr. Xie is worried. My father is in good health!"

"Lingzun is a loyal minister of the court. I hope you can also inherit the family style, live up to the family business, work hard to serve the court, and will not treat you badly! Tonight I would like to talk to all the wise men of the Chamber of Commerce, and please arrange it!"

"As for your orders!"

Qiao Yu heard from Duan Fang's words that the governor had begun to doubt himself, but he had not made up his mind yet, and just pounded it with words. However, this kind of attack obviously could not affect Qiao Yu's attitude. He was more concerned about what Duan Fang wanted to discuss with the Chamber of Commerce. He undoubtedly wanted to bribe the Chamber of Commerce. However, since Niu Chuanshan attacked the Chamber of Commerce, a very interesting effect was that the Chamber of Commerce collectively abandoned the fantasy of the Qing court. The Qing court not only wanted to kill Qiao Yu, but the facts proved that they had not let it go. Therefore, these people are determined to stand on the same front with Qiao Yu, and even some people have proposed to be independent and autonomous in Chongqing and abandon the rule of the Qing court.
