    "We can artificially create a conflict between the water security brigade and the Jiang Defense Fleet, or amplify the dispute between Shen Honglie and Wang Chongwen. After creating a momentum, my father can urgently exercise the power of the patrol envoy, and the Navy Department will have nothing to say.  .¡±

    Don¡¯t blame Zhang Hanqing for not thinking about the overall situation. In fact, he is unable to stop the upcoming Zhijiang-Anhui War and does not want to stop it. He is still counting on taking advantage of it to increase his strength.  After the Zhi-Wan war, there was the Zhi-Feng war, which was a fight between vested interests for the power at hand, and there was no justice.  But because of his own appearance, things took on a positive meaning.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Now, it's just a small way to cut off the wings of any potential opponents, without any hard feelings on your conscience.

    When Zhang Hanqing entered Fengfeng, his father and son had already talked about the significance of building a strong navy.  Zhang Zuolin didn't feel it before, because he felt that the army with more than a dozen divisions could dominate the territory. But when the Japanese soldiers entered the China Eastern Railway, he realized that the army's defense alone was very fragile.

    Transportation is inconvenient and the border is long. With such a small amount of troops, it is not enough to just guard it.  Raise troops to kill thieves, but there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.  A mobile gunboat is a powerful mobile firepower with heavy artillery. Once there are dozens of such gunboats in the inland Songhua River, Heilongjiang and Ussuri River, it will be enough to keep potential enemies at bay.  As long as there is no large-scale war, the navy alone can assume the responsibility of border defense.

    Therefore, he has agreed to build up the navy, and the preparation for the establishment of the ninth Marine Police Department, which is located outside the eight patrol embassy offices, is for this purpose.  After several months of hard work, Chen Shiying has planned its structure, and the water security brigade has been listed. The only thing missing is the entity - the warship.

    Now this opportunity is right in front of you

    Zhang Zuolin thought about it for a while and finally made up his mind.

    He is also very decisive. Once he makes a decision, he will implement it immediately.

    On May 5, a patrol ship of the Northeast Water Security Brigade had a scrape with a gunboat "Jiang Ping" of the Jiang Defense Fleet, and the two sides had a quarrel.  It was originally caused by an accident, but because soldiers from the security brigade fired warning shots, the conflict immediately amplified.

    Chen Shiying went to understand the situation on behalf of the inspection envoy, but was turned against by Major General Commander Wang Chongwen for favoring the Marine Police.  Since Chen Shiying was very popular among the Jiangfang fleet, at least a few of his former subordinates supported him.  During the debate, Shen Honglie, colonel and staff officer of the Jiangfang Fleet, also favored Chen Shiying's remarks, which made Wang Chongwen very unhappy.  As a result, several captains whom he single-handedly promoted also had tit-for-tat conflicts and had a heated argument.

    Seeing that the Jiang Defense Fleet itself was in danger of being divided, at this critical moment, Wu Junsheng, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, resolutely took action and forcibly separated the two groups of people by force. Then he quickly drafted a telegram and sent it to the Central Committee: "There is internal strife in the Jilin Province Jiang Defense Fleet."  , the ranks have been maintained with all our strength, and both sides have removed their weapons and are under strict supervision. We hope that the Navy Department will dispatch personnel to deal with it quickly to prevent a major change."

    Then Wang Chongwen and Shen Honglie each submitted telegrams, each giving their own reasons, which made the Ministry of the Navy very angry: This Zuolin is really amazing. He said that something happened to the Jiangfang Fleet, but something happened!  What was originally a trivial matter has been artificially elevated. The whole incident obviously has traces of artificiality!

    However, the Central Committee did not support the navy this time. Not only that, the president also suggested that the patrol embassy offices of the three eastern provinces should take over the management functions of this fleet: "This fleet is used for inland river patrol, and it is cheaper to leave it to local management.  In the future, all logistics and supply costs will be borne by the three northeastern provinces." In addition, the power to handle this incident was also delegated to the northeast: "Improving inspection will be handled by Zhang Xunxing."

    Zhang Zuolin could hardly believe his eyes. Although he only had the function of "management", the meaning was huge.  What does camera disposal mean?  That means he has the power to reward, punish, promote, and demote!  As the future boss of this fleet, he will enjoy unquestionable authority.

    As expected, under Zhang Zuolin's intervention, the "grievance" between the Jiang Defense Fleet and the Water Security Brigade was eliminated. However, Wang Chongwen was still dismissed from his post. The Navy Ministry gave him an appointment as a major general candidate, which was a consolation for him to take the blame for no reason.  .

    Once Wang Chongwen left, the family property he left behind was left to Zhang Zuolin.  However, Lao Zhang knows right from wrong. Political struggle is one thing, but retaining military talents is another.  Just when everyone thought a new round of purges was coming, he calmly told Shen Honglie, who took over: "The factional disputes within the navy can be put to rest."

    As the messenger, Zhang Hanqing personally led the team to the Jiangfang Fleet headquarters to comfort the captains.Implicated in this incident: "Commander Wang was dismissed yesterday. Some people said that he became a victim of political struggle because he obeyed the orders of the Central Committee."

    Chen Shiying, who was accompanied by him, felt a slight thump in his mind. What was the young marshal going to do?  He just brought up a taboo topic like this. Only he dared to say it so calmly, right?  Is this the rhythm of cleaning?  This is not good!  Although they were favored by the young marshal for surviving, they were former colleagues after all, and they still had some feelings for each other. In addition, although these captains were promoted by Wang Chongwen, they were still rising stars within the navy.  Although there are problems with the previous stance, not everyone has the courage to go against the Shangguan's wishes like the Zhangs and his sons, okay?

    Shen Honglie was also surprised. His main concern was to protect his men.  When it comes to playing politics, bloody soldiers like them are no match. Who has no time to stand in the team?  When the two old marshals told him, they said they wanted to make the fleet prosperous, but without this group of chief officers who are familiar with the navy, it would be very difficult and long to train new people!

    Even the captains who had voted for Wang Chongwen before were made to look at each other by Zhang Hanqing's straightforwardness: Is this the time to strike?

    Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing's next words dispelled their worries: "This is right or wrong. Why? It's right that soldiers should obey orders as their bounden duty, but there is a question of right and wrong here, and a question of principle.  That is, obeying orders, whose orders are they? When orders conflict with duty, what choice should a soldier make?

    What the patrol envoy asked everyone to do was to defend the country and keep the enemy away from the country. However, the central government represented by Commander Wang asked the navy to huddle in the port and allow the enemy to enter and leave the country as if there were no one around.  land!  Let me ask, what do we want such a navy to do?  In the face of such a major event, I think every conscientious soldier should know what kind of orders to obey.

    ?????????????????? Some of you are captains who originally came from Temple Street. Your Commander Chen and now Director Chen will be remembered in history for what they did in this matter!  Likewise, you will also remain in the history of the Republic of China.  Major Mao Zhongcai, Major Lin Peixi, and Major Lin Tianshou (the three answered solemnly one after another) are the pride of our navy!

    The tradition of the Navy of the Republic of China can be traced back to the Beiyang Navy. Although our country suffered huge losses as a result of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, there were many commendable sacrifices that emerged, which are always worthy of our remembrance.  Why did the Beiyang Navy collapse?  Many historians and military strategists have been studying it for more than 20 years.  Some of you have personally experienced this naval battle, and naturally have more say than I do.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????: Infighting, encouraging weak talents, weak training, corruption and poor military discipline How can a navy like this be undefeated?  But its defeat has damaged China's vitality for decades. We still have to look at the face of little Japan. We still don't have a stable sea frontier. We still don't have the courage to stand up!

    But the situation will change from today on. In fact, the Army is already changing, but you are just not aware of it.  Starting today, the Northeast Water Security Brigade and the Kyrgyzstan-Heilongjiang River Defense Fleet have merged. The newly formed organization is called the Northeast River Defense Fleet and will be unified under the management of the Northeast Aviation Police Office.  Our mission is to protect every river, every port, every island, and every inch of sea territory in the Northeast!

    I will do my best to provide you with conveniences, build warships, docks, naval schools, and invest fully in training I guarantee that the investment in this fleet will far exceed what you have ever done before.  I have only one simple request, that is, you can pull it out and win the battle!  My requirement for the People's Army in building an army is "the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road", and the same is true for our navy.

    But my request is more than that.

    When our strength grows, our navy will also jump from the river fleet to go deep into shallow seas, deep seas and even the ocean. The sea areas we need to guard are not only in the Northeast, but also in North China, the Yangtze River, the Bohai Sea, the East China Sea and the South China Sea, because they are also ours.  The place where our ancestors have lived for generations!

    Therefore, I ask you to abandon your sectarian opinions and work together to run the navy well.  I know that most of the generals of the Navy of the Republic of China are from Fujian. Basically, except for Staff Shen who is from Hubei, everyone else here including our Director Chen is inevitably from the local people's idea of ??clinging together.  Everyone, this is a no-brainer!  The end of the internal strife, Beiyang Navy Yin Jian is not far away!

    Wherever there are people, there will be left, middle and right. Some debates and different opinions are inevitable, but I hope it will be purely business and discuss matters as they are.  We quarrel behind closed doors, and we feel like a family when we go out. We express opinions in person, but don¡¯t have any opinions behind our backs. This is our pattern, and we must be tolerant of others.  Otherwise, how can we travel thousands of miles in the future if we all have regional differences?  In one sentence, I would like to encourage you all: 'What is wider than the grassland is the ocean, and what is wider than the ocean is the mind of the people of the Jiangfang Fleet'!  "

    His speech received thunderous applause. The young marshal's encouragement went straight into people's hearts, making them excited and eager to think of a big fight.  As for worries about settling the accounts afterwards, they have long been left to Java.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The roaring applause and the young commander's encouragement went straight into people's hearts, making them excited and eager to think of a big fight.  As for worries about settling the accounts afterwards, they have long been left to Java.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
