Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

When Li Guosheng and Jiang Baili were discussing immigration issues.In a private house not far from the headquarters of the National Defense Forces, more than a dozen guards standing at the door like a javelin, with one exception, showed everyone that the people living in this private house are not ordinary people.

Bai Chongxi, the deputy chief of staff of the National Defense Forces who had just taken office and achieved a lot of victories in the wars against Japan and the Soviet Union, lived in this private house.At this moment, in the brightly lit study room, besides Bai Chongxi, there is also a middle-aged man in casual clothes sitting. He is the current commander-in-chief of the Guangxi faction, General Li Zongren.

According to the pre-war agreement, after the National Defense Forces' war against Japan and the Soviet Union ended, Bai Chongxi, the deputy chief of staff temporarily drawn by Li Guosheng, would leave the National Defense Forces and return to Guangxi to serve as the chief of staff of the Guangxi faction.

However, after truly understanding the military strength of the National Defense Forces and the ruling philosophy of Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces.A bold idea suddenly appeared in Bai Chongxi's mind: For the future of the Guangxi Clan, no matter how much the price is paid, the Gui Clan must be incorporated into the National Defense Force.Because, with the current development trend of the Israeli National Defense Forces, sooner or later they will move into the central government to replace Lao Jiang.At that time, the sooner the Guangxi faction can be incorporated into the national defense force, the greater the benefits it will win in the new central government in the future.

At this moment, Bai Chongxi is seriously telling Li Zongren in as much detail as possible about every move and analysis he has seen in the National Defense Forces over the past few months, so that Li Zongren, the commander-in-chief of the Guizhou faction, will work for the future of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. Make a sensible and informed judgment. [

"Commander-in-Chief, the results of the National Defense Forces' battle against the Japanese and Soviet troops and their own losses are far from being as simple as what everyone has seen and heard on the surface?"

"As far as I know, in three consecutive wars, the National Defense Forces wiped out a total of 30 people from the Japanese Kwantung Army and 70 from the Soviet Far East Red Army. A total of 100 million troops from the great powers. In addition, the National Defense Forces also severely damaged Japan during this campaign The main fleet sent by the fleet to Vladivostok destroyed a total of more than [-] various large surface ships including two light aircraft carriers, two battleships, and five heavy cruisers...destroyed the Soviet Far East Fleet, including three battleships There are more than [-] large surface ships of various sizes..."

"Among the millions of troops wiped out, the 50 Japanese army and the 60 Soviet Red Army, the Wehrmacht hardly paid any price. Just by cutting off their food and grass, with the help of the bad weather in the Far East, "forced" the [-] army to die Do not voluntarily surrender to the Wehrmacht."

"So far, almost 15 Japanese prisoners of war have fallen into the hands of the National Defense Forces, and there are almost 55 Soviet prisoners of war. A total of 70 prisoners of war. According to the regulations of the National Defense Forces, all these prisoners of war will be organized into the Construction Corps under the National Defense Forces. In the future Ten years, or even longer. Contribute to various infrastructure constructions in the three northeastern provinces for free..."

In less than a few months, millions of armies of great powers were wiped out, and 70 people were directly captured.Li Zongren affirmed that with his own ability, even if the Guangxi army expanded to 100 million people.It is also impossible to obtain the huge results that the National Defense Forces have achieved.More importantly, in the months-long battle, the total strength of the National Defense Forces participating in the battle.From beginning to end, there were no more than 20 people.

Thinking of these questions, Li Zongren was shocked.It was also gradually shrouded by a trace of fear from the heart.After a long sigh, he said to Bai Chongxi with emotion: "Jiansheng. I have to say one thing, the Yangtze River has its back waves before its waves. I ask myself, even if I have a million troops, I can't achieve such a great result in such a short period of time..."

Speaking of this, Li Zongren frowned, and continued to ask subconsciously: "By the way, the National Defense Forces have achieved such a huge victory in just three months. Is the loss of their troops participating in the war too big? So far, how much is the National Defense Forces worth?" Soldiers of War."

A bitter smile full of regret appeared on Bai Chongxi's face again.

Facing Li Zongren, he said with a little disappointment: "Commander-in-Chief, I'm going to disappoint you again... According to post-war statistics, in the three consecutive months of fighting, the National Defense Forces had a total of more than 2 officers and soldiers killed, missing, and injured. People, less than [-]% of the total strength of the National Defense Forces. More importantly, with the National Defense Forces' strong logistical support capabilities and medical level, at least [-] of the more than [-] people lost can recover in succession within the next six months. back in the army..."

"As for the remaining combatable soldiers of the National Defense Forces, not only did they unexpectedly not decrease, but they actually increased a lot."

Under Li Zongren's eyes full of doubts, Bai Chongxi opened his mouth to analyze: "During the battle with the Japanese Kwantung Army, although the National Defense Forces paid a huge loss of more than 1 people. However, during the entire combat process, the National Defense Forces were fully The three northeastern provinces reorganized the [-] former soldiers of the Northeast Army who did not withdraw from the three provinces in accordance with the order. At present, except for less than [-] soldiers of the Northeast Army who have left the army for various reasons, the remaining [-] soldiers have all been dispersed Incorporated into various departments of the Wehrmacht..."

"In addition, reinforcements from all over the country have added about 3 new troops to the National Defense Forces. Not only that, the National Defense Forces also have more than a dozen local garrison divisions in Shandong Province, which is about 10 reserve troops. The losses of the main force can be replenished at any time."

"So, after more than three months of fighting, the total strength of the main force of the National Defense Forces has not decreased, but has increased. Preliminary statistics show that the National Defense Forces have formally reorganized more than 35 main divisions, with a total strength of [-]. ..."

Li Zongren's face was once again shrouded in shock, and he asked Bai Chongxi in disbelief, "How could this be, Jiansheng, it's not ordinary warlord troops that are fighting the National Defense Army, but the Japanese army and the Soviet Red Army with the title of great power. Destroy How did the National Defense Forces do it with millions of troops and only paid the price of less than 5 people?"

Bai Chongxi seemed to have already realized that Li Zongren would ask this question in front of him.Without even thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said, "Commander-in-chief, I don't know if I don't come to the National Defense Forces. After I came to the National Defense Forces, I realized that whether it is our Guangxi's combat thinking or the level of equipment of the troops, it is far behind the National Defense Forces by more than one." grade…"

"In order to meet the requirements of modern combat, the National Defense Forces all adopt a four-four organization. They are: a reorganization division has three infantry regiments and a 105mm caliber howitzer regiment. In addition, the reorganization division also directly controls a tank battalion. A car transport battalion, a guard battalion, an engineer battalion, a communications company...the total strength is 5000 people..."

"An infantry regiment of the National Defense Forces also has four battalions, three infantry battalions and one field artillery battalion, with a total strength of 3000 people... The infantry battalion has three infantry companies and a mountain artillery company with a total strength of 800 people...Infantry company It has three infantry platoons and one mortar platoon...the infantry platoon has three infantry squads and one fire support squad..."

"In addition to the standard configuration of these infantry. The National Defense Forces headquarters also has at least 150 heavy artillery regiments with artillery calibers up to [-]mm, an unknown number of heavy tank regiments, two air force divisions, several naval aviation regiments, and a naval fleet... "

"With such powerful heavy firepower and advanced equipment, in all kinds of battles that the National Defense Forces participated in, firepower strikes were used as the forerunner, tank troops carried out assaults, and infantry followed up..."[

"Take the two battles I participated in as an example. In the encirclement and annihilation of the 5-man Kwantung Army in Japan, the National Defense Forces used two bomber regiments, a total of 72 of the world's most advanced bombers. Five heavy artillery with a caliber of 150mm A regiment of almost 75 large-caliber artillery pieces. A medium-sized tank regiment. A total of more than [-] medium-sized tanks equipped with [-] mm caliber tank guns. Such a large-scale heavy weapon, within an hour before the start of the encirclement and annihilation battle, fully Almost [-] tons of aerial bombs were poured into the Japanese positions. [-] large-caliber heavy artillery and [-] small and medium-caliber artillery..."

"The fierce artillery strikes. The entire Japanese army position was almost razed to the ground. The Japanese army troops with tens of thousands of troops were also directly affected by the firepower strikes. At least half of their troops were lost."

"The firepower attack of the National Defense Forces has just ended, and the remnants of the Japanese army on the position have not yet reacted from the shelling. The steel torrent composed of more than 2000 medium tanks and more than [-] infantry is like an indestructible sword. He "inserted" into the Japanese positions fiercely, divided the Japanese positions into two, and continuously compressed their living space."

"In this way, the [-] Japanese troops were attacked by the National Defense Forces three times in a row and divided and surrounded. The entire army was wiped out in just one day, and they were wiped out on the battlefield by the two main divisions of the National Defense Forces..."

Glancing at Commander-in-Chief Li Zongren who hadn't recovered from the shock, Bai Chongxi continued to break the news: "Let's talk about the battle that took place in Vladivostok...Although I didn't participate in the whole battle, after the battle, I was lucky enough to walk into the Vladivostok battlefield, I saw the tragic scene on the Vladivostok battlefield."

"The big city of Vladivostok seems to have been hit by an earthquake: whether it is reinforced concrete houses or ordinary masonry structures, they are all razed to the ground. Not only that, but the whole city seems to have been burned by a big fire, and burned everywhere The scorched corpses of Soviet soldiers... I didn't know until after the war that the scene I saw before me was not a natural disaster in Vladivostok, but Vladivostok was attacked by a squadron of the Navy and a division of the Air Force in turn. Such…"

Speaking of this, Bai Chongxi directly took out a few photos and handed them to Li Zongren as evidence.

Looking at the tragic scene shown to him in the photo, Li Zongren, who was shocked, did not recover for a long time.

After 5 minutes of silence in the small study, Li Zongren put down the photo in his hand, sighed again, and asked with a dejected face: "Jiansheng, the National Defense Force is really so strong..."

"Yes..." Bai Chongxi affirmed.

Later, he continued to speak firmly to Li Zongren: "Commander-in-Chief, I can say with certainty that even with the National Defense Force's current army of more than 30 troops, it is no problem to sweep and unify the entire China. In addition, according to the rumors of the National Defense Forces General Command It seems that the National Defense Forces will carry out a large-scale military expansion in the next period of time, expanding the infantry from the current 100 reorganized divisions to [-] to [-], plus various other arms, the total force will directly increase to [-] million. "

"A 30-strong army can unify the whole country. After the total strength increases to 100 million, how strong will the national defense force be? It's hard to imagine..." Li Zongren, who once again reacted to the shocking news, said with emotion on his face. .

Bai Chongxi waved his hand, after Li Zongren's shocked mood gradually calmed down.He opened his mouth again and said, "Commander-in-Chief. What shocked me the most was not the strong military strength of the National Defense Force, but the established development direction and goals of the National Defense Force..."

"Eh... how do you say?" Li Zongren asked with a puzzled expression.

"Commander-in-Chief. Through my many conversations with Chief of Staff of the National Defense Forces Jiang Baili and Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng, I found that Commander-in-Chief Li's development direction is not at home, but abroad. I hope that within my lifetime, I can personally build a combat force and The world's powerful army with a level of equipment no lower than that of the armies of the great powers will recover all the Chinese lands once occupied by the great powers, so that the Chinese nation will always stand on top of the world."

"When I first heard this idea, my first reaction was that Li Guosheng was too arrogant. How could he achieve such great results with only a few provinces. However, after several months of contact, I gradually discovered that Li Guosheng's This dream is not impossible in the Wehrmacht..."

"So far, the National Defense Force has established a complete industrial system in Shandong Province. In this heavy industrial system, the National Defense Force can produce all light and heavy weapons by its own capabilities, and even advanced equipment such as tanks and aircraft."

"Second, after all 4000 million immigrants from all over the country enter the three northeastern provinces, the total number of people under the control of the National Defense Forces will exceed the [-] million mark. In addition, the National Defense Forces control a quarter of the country's fertile land. I don't know Dare to imagine how fast the national defense force with such huge manpower and material resources will develop without the influence of foreign enemy invasion..."

Seeing Li Zongren with a silent face in front of him, Bai Chongxi said in a firm tone: "Commander-in-Chief. I won't talk about other reasons. In a word, I can tell you with certainty that according to the current development speed of the National Defense Forces, the longest In ten years, they will be able to accomplish their intended goals.”

After a short thought.Li Zongren had no choice but to nod silently, and said affirmatively to Bai Chongxi in front of him: "If what you said is true, the future of China may really lie in the National Defense Forces..."

After finishing speaking, Li Zongren unexpectedly showed a smile on his silent face.After letting out a long sigh of relief to Bai Chongxi, he said, "Jiansheng, I didn't expect that you don't want to return to the Guangxi clique to serve as the chief of staff, and you also want to persuade me to join the National Defense Forces and work together with the National Defense Forces for this The country's meritorious deeds have been passed down through the ages..."

Bai Chongxi nodded embarrassingly, and affirmed noncommittally: "The commander-in-chief is right, I do have this idea. However, the final decision is up to you, the commander-in-chief. If the commander-in-chief is unwilling, I, Bai Chongxi, will definitely resign immediately The position of Deputy Chief of Staff of the National Defense Forces, I will follow you back to Guangxi and lay down a piece of sky that belongs to our Guangxi."[

Li Zongren shook his head resolutely, and said firmly to Bai Chongxi: "Although I, Li Zongren, am greedy for power, I am also a Chinese, a middle-aged man. I know that the Gui family is not good at all with my own ability. It may develop and grow, and you will never be able to realize your political ambitions. If you only look at your own bowl, it is irresponsible to the entire country and tens of thousands of soldiers in Guizhou. Therefore, I, Li Zongren, decided to agree with your suggestion However, how the Guangxi faction will be merged into the National Defense Forces still needs to be discussed with Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces..."

In the city of Shenyang that was completely shrouded in darkness, Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng had just returned home and was about to rest when a slight knock on the door suddenly reached his ears.Immediately afterwards, the adjutant who was in charge of his own daily life carefully walked over and reported: "Chief, the deputy chief of staff and Commander-in-Chief Li of the Gui Department are begging to see you outside the door..."

"Eh... Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi..."

Li Guosheng is still full of respect for Master Li who left a strong mark in the history of China's Anti-Japanese War.After a short period of contemplation, he decisively ordered: "Invite the two of you to the study room immediately, and I will be there right away. Also, ask someone to notify the chief of staff to come to my place right away. Also, the whole process must be kept secret..."

Maybe Bai Chongxi was too urgent. The conversation between the four lasted less than 5 minutes. Bai Chongxi, the current deputy chief of staff of the National Defense Forces, couldn't wait to tell the purpose of his visit.

"Deputy Chief of Staff Bai, you are right... You really plan to merge all the troops into the National Defense Forces, and from now on, cancel the title of the Gui Family..." Li Guosheng asked back with an incredulous expression.You must know that the tens of thousands of troops owned by the entire Gui family were accumulated bit by bit by the two people in front of them, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi.

Li Zongren shook his head with a wry smile on his face, and replied: "Commander Li, to tell you the truth, I don't want to make this decision. After all, the entire Guangxi faction has put a lot of effort into it. However, listening to After the chief of staff introduced the National Defense Forces and Commander-in-Chief Li's lofty ambitions, I immediately made this decision in my heart."

"Because the future of China lies in the National Defense Forces. If the Guangxi Clan wants to contribute to China, and even last forever, it must be incorporated into the National Defense Forces. Otherwise, the entire Guangxi Clan will be weakened step by step in the melee of warlords in the pass, and even perish."

After listening to Li Zongren's explanation and the firm expression on Li Zongren's face.Li Guosheng's heart was also replaced by shock. Of course, after the shock, a burst of deep surprise quickly rushed into his heart.

The Guangxi faction is merged into the National Defense Force. The National Defense Force will not only have a surge of [-] battle-tested mountain troops, but more importantly, the prestige of the National Defense Force in the customs will be further increased.

After several years of development, one of the most important reasons why Li Guosheng did not enter the customs is that his qualifications are too low. In the next few years, no matter how strong he develops, he will not be able to sit in Lao Jiang's current position. .However, once the Guangxi family joins, the situation will be different.With the identity and qualifications of Li Zongren in front of him, the National Defense Forces can fully support him to replace Lao Jiang, indirectly control the central government, control the entire army, gather the strength of the whole country, and develop the National Defense Forces...
