Zhang Zhengzong would only challenge the Japanese if he had enough money and food. Otherwise, why would he fight a war without money and food? He could just wash up and sleep. He didn't want to embarrass himself.
"A few days ago, the commander of the Kwantung Army, Shirakawa, came to look for me. He said that he wanted to practice around the South Manchurian railway.
This looked very much like that four-word idiom. What was it called again?”Zhang Zhengzong said that on purpose. He knew that someone would definitely pick up the call.
"Marshal, it was Xiang Zhuang who had the intention of performing the sword dance. On the surface, this Japanese is a drill, but in fact, they are coming for us.”Jiang Mingjun was one of the few cultured people among the higher-ups of the Feng army. He used to be Zhang Zhengzong's military counselor for a period of time. However, after Yang Guanghui came, he became the military chief.
"Commander Jiang is right. Ever since the marshal didn't rely on the Japanese, their attitude towards us has been getting worse.”Zhang Zhengchen's words made the others want to ridicule him.
It was obvious that the marshal was going overboard with the Japanese, so they couldn't help it. However, the marshal's thoughts were right. It was his own thing, so why would he give it away or sell it to the Japanese at a cheap price? Did he owe them?
"Something like that. Our Old Zhang isn't cultured, but as the saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Our Feng family only has this much money, but the Japanese keep staring at us.”Zhang Zhengzong continued Old Zhang's habit of pretending to be a fool. To put it simply, he disguised himself as a fool. However, those who believed him would basically die a miserable death.
How could a stupid and crude person become the King of the Northeast?
Then the other people's intelligence must have been eaten by dogs.
"Let's go with them. We can't just give it to them for free!”Zhang Zhengchen followed up with Seventh Brother's words. The two of them cooperated perfectly. This Chen Shuai was a shrewd person.
These words were rough but not rough. No one was willing to give up their wealth.
"So, I made a suggestion to Bai Chuan. What's the big deal about a drill? They'll fight with us for real. But don't worry, everyone. It's not a war with the Japanese.”
Zhang Zhengzong knew that if he started a war with the Japanese, there would definitely not be many people who would support him. After all, in their hearts, this was no different from hitting a rock with an egg.
The civil officials were calmer, but the military leaders were all silent. Whose troops were they letting go?
This was the biggest problem. These people were very clear about the level of their troops. If they were really dragged out to fight with the Japanese, it would probably not work.
"Commander, there is no problem with this drill, but the problem is that the troops are already very tired from the raiding. They haven't rested for a long time, and their morale is so low that they can't be of much use.”
Zhang Zhengchen came out to smooth things over. At the same time, he was also afraid that Zhang Zhengzong would call for the 27th Division. If that happened, countless families in Fengtian would have to wear mourning clothes.
The 27th Division was a legitimate direct line of descent. The soldiers were all locals from Fengtian Province. Many of them were the pillars of their families.
"Why do you have such a tragic expression? Do you think I don't know how much oil you have in your stomachs? Don't talk about resting. If you're afraid, just say it.”
Zhang Zhengzong's words were a little annoyed. Although he wouldn't let the other divisions fight, none of you guys volunteered to fight. Did all my food and pay go to waste?
If he was scolded, then so be it. Anyway, he couldn't show his face. He was dead.
The various department heads looked like they were watching a good show.
In the past, these commanders were all arrogant and domineering. It was not easy to make them behave like obedient babies.
Zhang Zhengzong looked at Jiang Mingjun, who shivered and lowered his head.
If they were to really go out to fight, he was sure that his troops would be crippled. It was not that he was saving his strength, but that he was not confident in his heart, so it was better not to embarrass himself.
Just as Zhang Zhengzong was about to speak, Zhang Zhengchen suddenly said," Marshal, let our 27th division go. Our entire division has been enduring hardships and tasting gall since last year.”
Zhang Zhengzong was very satisfied with Zhang Zhengchen's words. It was his business whether he went up or not, but those cowards didn't even dare to ask for a fight.
"The 27th division has only been reorganized for half a year. Although there have been huge changes, I have already received news that Bai Chuan has pulled in a regiment from the 6th division. The 27th division is no match for them.”
Feng Jun naturally knew about the reputation of the 6th division. Compared to the Furious Bear Division, they were like a bunch of wild beasts, and they were definitely good at pillaging and killing.
Military discipline was not the main point. The key was combat effectiveness.
To be able to become a trump card division, the standard of the soldiers of this division naturally far surpassed that of the other Japanese military divisions, be it in terms of marksmanship, combat skills, or artillery.
The most important thing was still the will to fight. At the same time, Feng Jun was not even worthy of carrying the other party's shoes.
To the Japanese, surrendering was almost impossible.
Judging from the logistics of the troops, the Japanese army was also stronger than the Feng army.
Although the Japanese soldiers were short, their short bodies were very strong. They were much heavier than the soldiers of the Feng army and the Tang army. The most important thing was their culture.
The Japanese soldiers were at least elementary school students, the officers were all military school students, and the generals were all graduates of Lu University.
In this aspect, they were crushed. In East Asia, the Wei Nation placed the most importance on education.
In this modern war, the cultural quality of soldiers was an important indicator of the degree of the military's modernisation. It was also directly related to the military's modernisation. Zhang Zhengzong felt that it would be better to think of a way to get system soldiers from the system than to rely on Fengjun.
If it was the era of shooting, it didn't matter if the soldiers were cultured or not. At that time, it depended on real morale.
Was reading important?
It was fine as long as they could line up to shoot.
Zhang Zhengchen also understood this logic and sat down. They were already at a disadvantage. If the 27th Division were to go up against them, the outcome would probably be very miserable.
" The teaching regiment has made many military achievements, so the guard regiment naturally can't fall behind. If we're going to fight, we'll pick the toughest battle to fight. That way, we can prove the strength of the guard regiment. We'll let everyone know that my guard regiment is the best fighting force of the Feng and Hua armies, a powerful force in the northeast.”
"I agree."
"I agree."
"That's good."
Everyone agreed. The Guards Brigade had never been on the battlefield, but everyone knew the combat strength of the Teaching Brigade. Since they were from the same division, the Guards Brigade's combat strength should not be too bad.
Moreover, in terms of equipment, the Guard Brigade stationed in Fengtian was much better than the Instructor Brigade in raiding. Once the new military uniform was released, the Guard Brigade was the first to change.
He didn't know about their combat strength, but the appearance of the Guards Brigade was already first-class. It would definitely not be a problem to pull them out to be role models.
However, it was not enough to look good. It had to be good to look good and useful. Otherwise, it would be a fake.
However, that was not possible. The training results of the Guards Brigade were the best among the various divisions of the Feng army. The troops given by the system were elites with actual combat experience. They were not just for show.
That soldier was more than enough to be a squad leader in an ordinary unit.
