The next morning, Chu Tianyun was still in his sleep when he was woken up by Xiao Yu. He had slept a little late last night because he had to solve the technical details of a second-generation rifle.
"Young Master, the military just called and asked Young Master to attend an emergency military meeting.”
Chu Tianyun's eyes were hazy as he slept in Xiaoyu's clothes.| He woke up with difficulty, washed up, and immediately rushed to the Qu State Revival Army headquarters, which was also the office of the Qu State Coalition Government.
"Marshal!"
The two guards at the gate immediately saluted Chu Tianyun upon his arrival. Chu Tianyun had copied the Renaissance Army's military rules from the German Army, and they were even stricter than the German Army's.
"Have you eaten breakfast?"
"Commander, today's breakfast in the military camp is cabbage stewed with vermicelli and two steamed buns with white flour.| Head!"
The food in the Renaissance Army had always been good. Starting from Shuiping Weir, Chu Tianyun had always been strict about this. If they couldn't even eat well, how could these soldiers work for him?
The two guards felt a warm feeling in their hearts. Joining the Renaissance Army was perhaps the best decision they had ever made in their lives. The salary of the Renaissance Army had always been maintained at a very high figure. An ordinary soldier's monthly salary could reach two silver dollars, and the platoon leader's salary had to be doubled. The purchasing power of one silver dollar could buy 300 catties of rice in 1917.
(Regarding the purchasing power of silver, it's too complicated. Maybe today's purchasing power will be the same, tomorrow will be the same. Let's just do it this way…)
"The marshal is here."
As soon as Chu Tianyun entered the command room, he realized that the high-ranking commanders of the Renaissance Army were all present. From March to May, the Renaissance Army had expanded into a mixed brigade.
1st Brigade Commander Song Feijian, Deputy Brigade Commander Chen Jialuo, 2nd Brigade Commander Zhu Zhiwen, Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Zeming, 3rd Brigade Commander Liu Yan, Deputy Brigade Commander Zhou Tao, 4th Brigade Commander Cao Kunpeng, Deputy Brigade Commander Wang Tianzhang, 5th Brigade Commander Han Changming, Deputy Brigade Commander Lin Xinlong, and 100mm Heavy Artillery Regiment Commander Yao Dali.
"Everyone's here. What happened last night? Could it be that Duan Qirui from the central government followed Yuan Shikai's old path and got into a fight with Zhang Zuolin?”
Chu Tianyun sat in his seat and looked around. Everyone who was supposed to be here was here, even the leaders of the main forces.
As for the second-in-command of the Renaissance Army, Chen Luo, he was currently the Chief of Staff of the Renaissance Army. The Renaissance Army had yet to establish a mature staff system, so Chu Tianyun still had full authority to decide on the battle strategy.
"General, there is no movement in the north. Zhang Zuolin's 50,000 strong army has been stationed outside the pass and has not entered Shanhai Pass. This is an emergency telegram from Hangzhou this morning!”
Hang, could it be that Lu Yongxiang's Zhejiang Army was in turmoil, or that old man Lu Yongxiang had flown to the west?？
When Chu Tianyun saw the telegram, his expression turned serious. It was a great opportunity!!!
It was a great opportunity to expand the power of Quzhou!
"Chief of Staff Chen, you're being led around in circles. Why did you gather everyone so early in the morning?”
Song Feijian's heart felt itchy. If it wasn't for the urgent news, Chen Luo would never have gathered everyone in such a hurry.
At this time, Chen Luo had also sent out the telegrams that he had prepared beforehand. Because of Chu Tianyun's efforts to crack down on illiterates, the Renaissance Army soldiers now had to attend a two-week Chinese character training class before enlisting.
Then, the entire war room fell silent. Even the brazen brigade commander Song Feijian could feel that this was a huge opportunity for the Renaissance Army!
"Last night, in Hangzhou, Lu Yongxiang, the inspector of the three southeastern provinces, shot twenty-five generals of He Shiguang's faction on the charge of treason!”
"Commander, our Qu State Renaissance Army claims to only have two regiments, but we have five infantry regiments and more than 30,000 soldiers. Now, Jinhua and Xin 'anjiang are in a triangle with our Qu State. The Renaissance Army should send troops to occupy them and obtain space for development!!”
"That's right, Commander. Other than He Shiguang's faction, the Zhe faction has 20,000 troops. Now that Lu Yongxiang has shot He Shiguang, the trust of the Zhe faction will be in danger.”
The higher-ups of the Renaissance Army all requested to fight. This opportunity was extremely rare. With the addition of Jinhua and Xin 'anjiang, the number of soldiers and land could be expanded greatly.
After shrinking the southeast sandbox, the county towns, mines, and military stations were clearly marked. Xin 'an River and Jinhua were the closest to Quzhou.
Wang Zhonglei, the general manager of the Renaissance Army's logistics department, stood up at this moment. Now that the Qu State Renaissance Army had a large business, Chu Tianyun had also established a team to manage the logistics department of the Renaissance Army.
"Commander, the second phase of our Madong Mountain Munitions Factory should be able to start production in October. By then, our production capacity will surpass the Tianjin Manufacturing Bureau and reach the fourth place in the country. In addition, due to the expansion of the ZH16 rifle production line, the Munitions Factory has provided another 1,000 standard rifles in the past two months!”
"In addition to the Mauser rifles we bought from the Germans and the ones made in Hanyang in the north, our infantry brigade is equipped with all the rifles, so the military expenditure for the next few months is relatively large. If it weren't for the clothing factory making a lot of money from the war in Europe, our Renaissance Army would probably be very poor!”
"However, we have a lot of ammunition in storage in Quzhou. After we take over Quzhou, the ammunition that Chu Yonglong originally hoarded can still be used. Therefore, Marshal, I, Wang Zhonglei, support this battle!!”
Then, the brigade commanders stared at Chu Tianyun, waiting for him to give the final order!
"All this while, our Renaissance Army has been developing in silence. Even the warlords in the north don't know about me. It's no different from a fool's dream to expect them to protect me!!”
" In my Qu Zhou, industry, agriculture, and commerce are advancing side by side. I even planned the Third and Fourth Incident, seized the Qu Zhou train station, and killed a 300-man security team. I, Chu Tianyun, am not trying to be arrogant, but the future of China will definitely be protected by the Renaissance Army!!”
"Therefore, I, Chu Tianyun, as the highest commander of the Renaissance Army and the highest leader of the Quzhou autonomous coalition government, announce the next battle order, which is the military occupation of Xin 'an River and Jinhua County!!”
