Chengdu, Sichuan.
Military Governor's Office.
It was already midnight, and Cai E was still handling a series of military and political matters. Suddenly, his assistant knocked on the door, and Cai E let him in.
"Overseer, the Third Young Master of the capital has come to report!”
The assistant then bent down and handed over the document bag. To be honest, even the assistant was very impressed by Third Young Master. At such a young age, he had personally led an army. He had actually crushed Zhang Xun and the Manchu interim government in the north. He was really too awesome.
When Cai E heard that it was a telegram from Cai Hu, he was a little anxious. He quickly opened the document bag and asked his assistant to prepare some supper for him.
"Father, the capital is currently without a leader, and the position of Grand President cannot be vacant for a single day. Although I have control over the capital, I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles! At present, there are very few people in the world who can become the president. The big shots of Beiyang respectfully invite father to go north today and rush to the capital to take up a post. This will show father's ambition and talent…"
The telegram was about 2000 words long, but it explained everything that Cai Hu wanted to say clearly. Cai E was first shocked when he saw this, and then he was a little worried.
It wasn't that he didn't want to be the president, but he didn't want to be the president of Beiyang. He wasn't a member of the Beiyang faction. Instead, he was more like a revolutionary. If he controlled the Beiyang government, how could the Beiyang factions below him play around?
Moreover, the surrounding Wan and Feng branches, as well as the Jinsui Army, all of which seemed to be very difficult to survive.
Cai E wasn't afraid of death. He had already died once. Even if he died, it would be worth it if he could bring China into a prosperous country.
That night, Cai E didn't sleep. He pondered for a long time.
After eating a little supper, Cai E lit a cigarette and smoked continuously. He blew out smoke rings and unknowingly finished two boxes of cigarettes.
"F * ck, who said that the Dian family can't be the president!”
Cai E shouted angrily, his eyes shining.
Cai E was only worried about the lack of manpower and military strength, but with the military support of his kid and his political skills, this unstable Chinese warship would definitely regain its former glory.
At three o'clock in the morning, Cai E called Cai Hu and agreed to go north.
At dawn, groups of soldiers gathered around Chengdu. Cai E followed Cai Hu's instructions and gathered the elite forces of three regiments. Although these three regiments were still armed with Hanyang Zao, they were elites who had been through hundreds of battles.
They had absolute obedience to Cai E and even had a kind of faith in him. Their close combat and shooting standards were very high. Relying on Cai E's superb commanding tactics, they had once defeated many of Yuan Datou's Beiyang forces.
"Why did you leave me alone?"
Yang Dezhi, the leader of the 4th Regiment, was a little dissatisfied with Cai E's deployment. Letting him be stationed in Chengdu was obviously not giving him a chance to make contributions.
Thinking of this, Yang Dezhi's eyes were filled with viciousness and resentment.
This Yang Dezhi was the regiment commander who had teased Cai E's fifth wife. Cai E was already well aware that Yang Dezhi had given him a lot of merit points, so Cai E couldn't bear to do this.
However, Cai Hu strongly recommended this person to guard Chengdu. Cai E knew the reason for this. It was most likely because Little Huzi had his eyes on this person.
Cai Hu wouldn't attack unless he was attacked, but if he was attacked, he would attack. This was what Cai E felt recently. He was indeed sharp and a commander with a personality.
Cai E, who had gathered three regiments, and Cai Hu's three regiments, as well as the 12th security brigade, only used two days to open up the lifeline between Sichuan and Chongqing.
A few of these cities and counties had police stations set up, and they were completely under Cai Hu's control.
Zhao Youguang, the commander of the 12th Security Brigade, was stationed in Chengdu to protect the lifeline of Chengdu and Sichuan and Chongqing.
The 2nd Regiment went to Chongqing with Cai E. The 3rd Regiment's responsibility was to defend Chongqing and consolidate Dazhou's territory.
After that, Cai E boarded the light cruiser "Southwest Tiger", and the three regiments of the Dian Army boarded the new steam turbine. They were all extremely happy.
On the soldier wheel, each of them received a leather cotton coat, a piece of soap, and even a basin of horse meat. It was really satisfying.
An hour after the three regiments of the Dian Army boarded the military ships, the Jianghe Squadron set sail under Zhang Yilong's orders, escorting 20 military ships and a new batch of supplies to the north.
This time, the two cargo ships were loaded with 900 tons of food, medicine, and a large amount of ammunition. There were even 30,000 Japanese rifles made in Hanyang (These rifles were all seized by Cai Hu!“
…
The capital, the original Nine Gates Admiral Training Camp.
10000 new recruits were undergoing military training.
These 10000 recruits were not new. They were all old Northern Army troops and some military police.
After the marshal's inspection, these people's mental and physical qualities were not bad. Each and every one of them had shooting and fighting experience.
To be able to quickly arm themselves into an army, Cai Hu immediately threw out one million yuan as a settlement allowance for them. In addition, he guaranteed that each of them would have a cow to farm and three acres of fertile land that would be tax-free for life. This made these people full of fighting spirit when they trained.
This training was the same as the Southwest Army. There was a reward and punishment mechanism. Those who had good results and strong combat strength would be rewarded handsomely.
The new military uniform orders had already been placed with a few garment factories in the capital. A total of twelve garment factories had accepted the orders. Cai Hu's remuneration was generous enough, and the foreign factories could only watch helplessly as Cai Hu's large orders flowed into the Chinese factories.
Cai Hu planned to use 2000 of these 10000 people to build a police station and nine sub-stations, each corresponding to the nine gates and nine districts of the capital.
The remaining 8000 people would form the President's Guard Division. They were currently equipped with Hanyang and Japanese rifles. Cai Hu had seized many of these rifles in the capital, and there were even many in the Beiyang Armory. There were also 100 Maxim heavy machine guns with about a million bullets. According to the usage of ordinary warlords, these one million bullets were enough to support a small to medium-sized battle.
However, it was still far from enough for Cai Hu. This time, Cai Hu had sent over three million bullets, which could be considered to have emptied his old foundation.
However, he had enough strength points now. When Cai Hu returned to Chongqing, he would exchange for a few large-scale bullet production lines. When the time came, it would be enough for these 10000 soldiers to use.
…
January 14th, morning.
The Jianghe Squadron escorted twenty ships to the southwest of the capital, and Cai Hu sent out all three hundred military cards to receive them, transporting Cai E and his three regiments to the capital.
At this time, Cai Hu's 1st Regiment and Cai E's deployment had been changed, and the Nine Gates and all the important structures were under the control of the Dian Army.
