"Haha, let's not talk about this. This is not the place to talk. Let's find another place to talk. "Come with me," the bald man said. Then, he took the lead and walked out of the temporary meeting room.
"Jianye, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you. I'm sure you don't like this either. Recently, we and the Northern Warlords have been constantly mobilizing troops. Both sides have reached a critical moment.
Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, and some other large and small forces had gathered nearly 400,000 troops. In Hubei, Zhejiang, and Zhejiang provinces alone, there were almost 300,000 people!
As for places further away, such as Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai, although there were not many people, there were still about 100,000 people! "On the other hand, I'm really a little worried," the bald man said to Liu Feng as the two of them walked to a courtyard.
"Commander, you must be joking. Although the Northern Warlords have more than 300,000 people, our revolutionary army is not bad, right? There are more than 300,000 troops under the command of the commander and the generals alone. There is no need to worry about Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang. As for Zhang Zuolin, we are still beyond our reach. When we deal with Wu Peifu and Sun Chuanfang, will the commander still be afraid that Zhang Zuolin will be able to hinder the commander?”
Liu Feng didn't say anything practical about the bald man's words. He wasn't a hothead. He wouldn't reveal his thoughts and family just because the bald man seemed to favor him. If he really did that, he would be a real " idiot."
Seeing Liu Feng like this, the baldy knew that it was really useless for him to talk nonsense, so he stopped talking nonsense and said helplessly,"Jianye, it's not like you don't know our situation. Although I'm the commander-in-chief in name and everyone has to listen to my orders, I can only command 70,000 people under my command. The rest of them are fighting for themselves, just like how the vassals fought for the throne back then.”The bald man sighed.
Liu Feng didn't comment on Baldy's words. Baldy was right. The current Northern Expedition Army was indeed like the vassals in the Three Kingdoms period. In name, Baldy was the commander-in-chief, but in fact, everyone firmly controlled their military power in their own hands. They would only obey Baldy's orders in the general direction, but at other times, no one would pay attention to Baldy.
This also caused the Revolutionary Army to be in a mess in terms of cooperation even though they had been persisting in the northern expedition. It was already very good if they could not cause any trouble, let alone cooperate in battle.
Similarly, Liu Feng would not hand over his military power to Baldy. It was not that he was reluctant to give up his military power, but Baldy really could not let him rest assured. Look at the history of the Anti-Japanese War. There were many warlords before the war, but after the war, warlords? Hehe, it doesn't exist…
If that was all, it would be fine. Most importantly, Baldy's ability. Throughout the entire Anti-Japanese War period, all the military operations that Baldy personally participated in could be attributed to the disparity in the armaments of the two sides. However, his command…
Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, Liu Feng did not believe in this guy's military ability. No matter what, even if the Northern Expedition really failed, Liu Feng would not hand over his brothers to this guy. He would rather face the entire Northern Warlords alone. Perhaps the outcome would be much better than now! Even if the Northern Warlords were really strong, he could just use the Red Alert base to kill them.
Therefore, Liu Feng only said,"
"Commander, you don't have to worry. Modern warfare is not like the Three Kingdoms era, and we don't need to engage in bloody hand-to-hand combat. At this time, morale is more important. The Northern Warlords are mostly recruited by recruiting strong men and bribing them with money. Once the war goes south, they will inevitably become a plate of loose sand and may even lead to a great defeat. At that time, we will march straight in, and the Northern Warlords will naturally be nothing to worry about.”
Seeing that Liu Feng was still so business-like, the bald man understood that if you only put on some superficial skills for people like Liu Feng, it would obviously be completely useless to them. Therefore, the bald man gave up on his boring probing and turned to say,
"Jianye, I'm not joking with you. I didn't invite you here to test your background. There are some things that I really want to do, but it's very difficult for me. Through the information I've gathered and my previous observations, I know that you and your father have done a lot of things that I want to do but can't!”After saying that, the bald man paused and looked at Liu Feng.
He did not hide the fact that he had secretly investigated the Sichuan army and Liu Xiang's father and son. Seeing that Liu Feng did not have any abnormal reaction, he continued,
"To be honest, from the moment I started following Mr. Sun, I had always had a dream in my heart. I wanted to defeat the Barbarians and the imperialists. I wanted to let the Chinese people stand up. However, after such a long period of tempering, I realized that my idea was great, but the possibility of realizing it was extremely small. Once, I thought that after overthrowing the Barbarians, this country would no longer be oppressed by those feudal forces. Then, the rise of this country is inevitable…"
" Why are you telling me this?" Liu Feng suddenly interrupted the bald man and asked. He really didn't know why the baldy was doing this. Was he trying to gain his sympathy and make him hand over his military power? Was that possible, or did he really want to have a heart-to-heart talk with her? With the shrewdness of the baldy recorded in the later generations, he would definitely not be so bored. Then why? Could it be…
"In the past, I had always been fighting for China's independence. Later on, I realized that my thoughts were so childish. Then, I began to degenerate. I began to consider my personal gains and losses more than the interests of the country.
"Until the appearance of you and your son, I have been observing you and trying to figure out your motives. Later, I found that although you ruled Sichuan and became the true King of Sichuan, you did not start to indulge in luxury and enjoy life like other warlords. Instead, you have been developing Sichuan.
Over the years, the intelligence agency I established has invested more than half of its energy into your Sichuan. In the end, it came to a result that I can't believe. You actually have the intention to recover China. This is unbelievable!" The bald man didn't immediately answer Liu Feng.
"So?" The bald man's words piqued Liu Feng's interest. He couldn't help but be curious about the bald man's purpose.
" I always thought that in this chaotic country, there were no major forces that truly cared about the country. Almost everyone was thinking about how to set up their own territory. Your appearance seems to be a very abnormal performance! The bald man continued.
It had to be said that the bald man's perception was extremely sharp. Indeed, if it weren't for Liu Feng, Liu Xiang would have become a member of the warlords. However, he didn't know that Liu Feng's appearance was purely an accident... This made Liu Feng sigh. As expected, none of these historical figures were simple!
Ps: I've read the reviews from my readers. Since this book is called StarCraft 1927, it will definitely contain some interstellar elements. It's just that it's still in the initial stage and can't reach the level of StarCraft yet. Interested readers could click on the Favorites button, send some flowers and gifts. If everything went well, after the end of World War II, Fu Sheng would lead the readers into a magnificent interstellar era! At that time, there might be Zergs, Protoss, or even mechanical civilizations, magical civilizations, and cultivation civilizations!
