Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

"Hey, something's wrong, don't eat it, and see what's wrong."

At the T-junction outside the courtyard, in front of the wonton stall, Sen Ge happily finished a sip of soup. Just as he looked up to observe the situation again, he suddenly found a group of people gradually gathered outside the courtyard, which was quite different from the slightly deserted situation before. .

Seeing this scene, Senge didn't bother to wipe his mouth, and quickly reminded his subordinate, Mr. Yamashita, "Hurry up, there may be something wrong with the Chinese people, we have to go and see!"

"Woo... hiccup..." For some reason, Mr. Yamashita couldn't utter a single word.

Senge felt a little strange, turned around suddenly and found that his subordinate was still dealing with the snacks, he accidentally choked on it just now because he was in a hurry to eat, and now he was eating wonton soup, barely swallowing it down.

The four eyes met, and the soup bowl that Mr. Yamashita had brought up was put down in an instant, and he lowered his head and said, "Mr. Senge, just now..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the furious Senge slapped him across the face: "Baga! You stupid pig!"

He was knocked over with his soup bowl on the ground, throwing half of Yamashita's body, but now he is not willing to fight in front of his face. He was specially called out to investigate Cheng Nuo because of the establishment of a flour mill in Tianjin.

It's a pity that because Cheng Nuo's vigilance is relatively high, what he knows is only superficial, and he catches up with Cheng Nuo running around, so it doesn't matter in the end.

Now that Cheng Nuo has returned with steel and radio technology, he seems to have missed the flour industry. Logically speaking, this is a great thing for Senge. After hearing the news from the Shanghai Iwasaki brothers, he learned about Cheng Nuo's threat It is getting bigger and bigger, which is really a serious problem.

Don't do anything, just let your subordinates lead the way, and prepare to meet each other in person.

"Yamashita Fu, is this why you can't collect information? With such a work attitude, the efficiency is extremely low. I think you are not as good as those students in Shanghai Tongwenkan!" Seeing the whole picture at a glance, Senge thought he had found the front The reason for the failure of intelligence work is that the employment is unknown.

"Hi! Mr. Senge, I also noticed the situation of the Chinese people just now." Through the corner of his eyes, Mr. Yamashita had already noticed the situation in the courtyard, and he was not blushing and not panting nonsense: "The reason why you bowed your head is not In order to eat, but thinking about the reason for this abnormal phenomenon.”

Senge stared at his subordinates closely, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find out why. He doubted, "Is it true? Have you thought about why?"

Mr. Yamashita stopped breathing for a moment, thinking about how to answer this question, and said that it would not be easy to dispel the suspicion of the old fox opposite him. Even if he fabricated a lie, he had to be at least three points true and seven points false, otherwise it would be very difficult. It is easy to be exposed, and the death will only be worse when the time comes.

"Yamashita!?" Senge seemed to have noticed something unusual.

"Sengge-kun!" Yamashita straightened his body immediately. Just when he was in a hurry and didn't know how to answer, he suddenly saw a child eating candy, and blurted out in an instant: "The Chinese people are trying to make a name for themselves."

"Fame?" Hearing this explanation, Senge's eyebrows frowned into a knot.

Perhaps to convince the other party, or perhaps to give himself a hint, Yamashita hurriedly repeated: "Yes, the Chinese people are trying to make a name for themselves?"

Senge turned around, looked at the courtyard and wondered, "What's the reason?"

Taking advantage of this time, Mr. Yamashita quickly wiped the sweat from his brow: "This Chinese man is a thug, and now he has become famous. He has already gained a certain reputation inside and outside China, but there is a hidden danger under his fame. Some people have long regarded him as a thorn in the side."

Senge's complexion softened slightly, and he seemed to agree: "So, in order to ensure that others would not dare to do anything to him, this Chinese man deliberately pretended to be charitable, and went to help victims of disasters, give alms to young children, and win a good reputation from the Chinese community. , so that others dare not do anything to him!"

"Yes, ah yes, Mr. Senge is worthy of being the pillar of the empire. After such a short period of observation, he has reached such a conclusion. It is really worth learning from our subordinates." Mr. Yamashita didn't care what the other party inferred. Right, just bragging about it, I also let out a long sigh of relief in my heart.

Everything is most afraid of imagining things. A small matter may become extremely complicated after brain imagining. At first, he was thinking about how to continue to make up nonsense, but now his boss took the initiative to divert his thinking for him. He was really sleepy and gave him a pillow. .

Look at the process with the conclusion in mind, and the process is just as you think.

The more Senge looked at it, the more he felt that his deduction was extremely correct, and the lines on his face gradually became exaggerated: "Let me just say, in terms of intelligence, the Chinese people are definitely not as good as our Yamato people. This was reflected as early as in the Sino-Japanese War. You can only play tricks, after all, you are just a pawn on the chessboard."

Mr. Yamashita quickly echoed: "Yes, Senge-kun is right. In a short time, under Senge-kun's wise command, we will eat this chess piece!"

Senge laughed loudly, and then deliberately said implicitly: "It's hard to say, I won't be the only one who will be credited at that time, the role of the empire will be even greater!"

The corner of Yamashita's mouth twitched, but he hid it in time: "As for the main role of it, it depends on Mr. Senge. The Iwasaki family is just a bunch of waste materials who don't know how to change. The credit must be yours. Lord."

Senge laughed even more wildly: "Don't worry, you must have a share, now let's go over and see what's going on..."

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, the female owner of the chaotic booth was about to catch up, but before she could even take a step, she was grabbed by the male owner.

"Old man, the Japanese dropped all the bowls, we can't just let them go like this." The female boss was puzzled, seeing the customers getting farther and farther away, she couldn't help raising her voice: "They haven't lost money yet, Why did you just leave?"

The male boss was full of bitterness, pointed to the two of them and said, "Do you know what they are wearing with their bulging waists?"

The female boss wiped her hands with her apron, frowned and said, "What are you wearing?"

The male boss squatted down and cleaned up the dishes on the ground: "They have knives in their waists. It's the kind of long and sharp Japanese sword. If you wipe it on your neck, the head will fly off immediately. Then the public will not care about it!"

Hearing this, the female boss's face was instantly waxy, and she said tremblingly: "Then...forget it, we will do...a small business, a rough porcelain bowl will be rotten if it is rotten, we don't want it .”

The male boss sighed, swept the debris into the dustpan, and when he walked to the female boss, he felt an unprecedented sense of joy on his face, and whispered beside his ear: "When I was cooking for them just now, I quietly added For some ingredients, I didn’t plan to ask for this bowl, but this is just right.”

As he said that, he dumped all the garbage in the dustpan on the garbage dump.

The female boss opened her eyes wide, looked left and right, and finally held the male boss's arm tightly: "You...you are dying, aren't you afraid that they will wipe your neck with that foreign knife?"

The male boss said vigorously: "What's so scary, living one more day in this world is a sin, and I have already lived enough, just because they took our Qingdao by force, I can't get over it just in my heart."

The female boss muttered, "Oh, what shall we do now?"

The male boss raised his eyebrows, and threw the chopsticks used by the Japanese just now into the fire, and the fire became more intense in an instant: "Don't do anything wrong, and don't be afraid of ghosts coming to your door. Japanese devils are also ghosts. Wait for them to come and continue to fight." material!"

……

On the other side, at the food stall next door, Little Six looked at the bean juice in the bowl, hesitated to speak, and finally put it down helplessly.

"Mr. Pride, I still can't get used to this food. The more authentic snacks in old Beijing, the less fortunate I am to enjoy them. Why don't you eat my bowl too?"

"Then how can it work? The portion I asked for you is already small. As a 'foreigner', I can accept it. As a true Chinese, how can you not eat it?" Pride pushed the other party. The bean juice that came over was pushed back, with a curious face: "You might as well try again, I think it's still okay."

In order to help the other party, to show that what he said was true, Pride took a big sip directly after speaking, with a full face of enjoyment, more like a real Beijinger than the uncle next to him.

Seeing this scene, the little six of the Zhang family grinned their teeth one after another, as if he was the one who was drinking just now, and they still didn't forget to swallow a mouthful of spit.

But the matter was over, Xiaoliuzi also wanted to show his masculinity, and he mustered up his courage to fight to the death with the bean juice, when the bowls were picked up, when the Japanese threw the bowls at the wonton stand and made a noise.

Seeing his own countryman being bullied by the Japanese again, Little Six was about to sit up and complain, but Pride pulled him back.

"Mr. Pride, what are you pulling me for? You just don't listen to the birds chirping in their mouths. You can tell that the two of them are Japanese because of the sour smell of sea fish in their out of place. Our compatriots are being bullied now. What do we do now?" Can you just sit back and do nothing?" Little Six was puzzled by this.

Pride said cautiously: "It's because they are Japanese that they let you not meddle in your own business. Don't forget what your father told you before departure this time!"

Little Six's fist loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, and finally said helplessly: "Make friends and avoid enemies."

Pride put his hands on the opponent's shoulders, and pressed him back to his position: "Yes, don't forget that your father is about to calm down the Northeast and plan the Central Plains, and now he is preparing to ease relations with Japan. You In this way, you will have to make a big fuss, and then you will not be able to eat and walk around!"

Little Six was originally impulsive, but now that he was poured cold water on him, he instantly sobered up a lot: "Yes, my father asked me to come over to build a good relationship with Professor Cheng and see if we can cooperate in some aspects. Don't be impulsive."

But after all, the young man still had a passion, and the little six continued to grit his teeth: "Well, when those Japanese are gone, let's go and help the couple. We can do as much as we can."

Pride nodded with relief: "This is fine."

Fortunately, it was only the Japanese who started their own internal strife, and didn't involve their compatriots much. After making a few weird movements, they turned around and left, and Xiao Liuzi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just the tableware, fortunately nothing major happened. "

"Yes, nothing serious happened." Pride's face was still full of smiles one second, and after noticing that the Japanese were going to Cheng Nuo's courtyard the next second, his face was covered with dark clouds: "little six, no , things may have changed, where do you think the two of them went?"

Following the direction of the fingers, Little Six also noticed the abnormality: "Are they also looking for Professor Cheng? I'm afraid it won't be a good thing!"

Pride shook his head: "Maybe it will have a negative impact on the purpose of our trip! The Japanese have long conspired against the Northeast."

Little Six took a deep breath: "Is it ammunition?"

Pride immediately grabbed Little Six's hand: "Be careful!"

Having said that, at this time, the Zhang family had just snatched the Japanese ordnance purchased by the direct lineage to arm their Fengjun forces, and it had not been long since they entered the customs. Controlling the Northeast is still a long way from the hat of "King of the Northeast".

If you want to dominate one side, you must have a large enough team.

And Fengjun, with a maximum strength of 35, became the largest armed group in the country at that time, not to mention firmly controlling the three eastern provinces, but also wanted to unify the country by force and control the central\central government.

In terms of numbers, it is easy to say, if you don’t recruit soldiers, you can catch strong men, but in terms of weapons, you can’t be so rough. If you want to improve your military strength, you must have enough arms.

Due to well-known reasons in history, these armies basically did not have a unified standard weapon, which led to a great discount in their specific strength, and how to provide logistics is a problem.

In the late Qing Dynasty, although Li Zhongtang and other Westernization officials worked hard, the military purchase and imitation were misunderstood by the specious "Hua Yi", and the standard concept was weak. Although a small number of standard guns, artillery, ammunition and medicine appeared, the weapons of the army and navy The equipment system is far from taking shape.

Up to now, the Beiyang government has tried to determine the basic standard weapons, but failed due to the current situation.

Standard weapons are not only a manifestation of the regularization of the national army, but also have many advantages in design, manufacturing, testing, installation teaching, training, repair, procurement and upgrading, etc., and their finalization and installation are the most critical links in the modern weapon industry one.

Although Zhang Bazi, who was born in Greenwood, didn't understand this aspect, he also knew the benefits of standard arms. He happened to know about Cheng Nuo Steel from the newspaper, so he thought of sending his son to contact him first.

Although there is a self-made arsenal——Shenyang Arsenal, which is the largest factory owned by warlords in the 20s, employs 20 workers, including more than 17000 foreigners. Although most of them are technicians, Belarus and There are more Germans than Anglo-Americans.

However, domestic manufacturing requires both materials, technicians, and equipment.

If the self-research cooperation fails, you can still try to see if you can directly purchase arms and see if there is any special channel for Cheng Nuo.
