Chapter 937: The Commander Is a 3-Year-Old Kid
The powers sent so-called "business groups" to Shanghai. Old Yuan saw through the plans of these foreigners at a glance. After all, he was not an idiot. Come if you like to play and watch. LX.
Old Yuan could still guess some of the ideas of these foreigners.
It was nothing more than to find out where the weapons and equipment of the Shanghai Military Group came from.
At the same time, it was also possible that they wanted to get some equipment from the Shanghai Military Group and then disassemble and analyze it to imitate it, especially the aircraft.
To be honest, it was not only the foreigners who were tempted, but also Old Yuan who was tempted by those weapons and equipment.
So Old Yuan also wanted to send a "business group" to Shanghai to see if there was any opportunity.
Of course, Old Yuan, like those foreigners, did not think that those weapons and equipment were made by the Shanghai Military Group itself.
The reason for thinking so was actually very simple.
Looking at the land of China, there was no heavy industry with such strength and technology.
So, the weapons and equipment of the Shanghai Military Group must have been obtained from outside.
They need to dig out the supporters behind the Shanghai Military Group.
At the same time, take advantage of this contact to obtain as much data as possible on Shanghai's weapons and equipment. To put it bluntly, use this opportunity to conduct some intelligence activities.
For the time being, the retaliation against the Shanghai Military Group must be stopped.
After all, the equipment displayed by the Shanghai Military Group is so shocking that it will inevitably attract the attention and covetousness of the powers.
Since even the powers are attracted, how can Yuan Xiangcheng be an exception?
As Yuan Xiangcheng's staff, Yang Huchan pondered for a while and proposed: "It's not impossible for us to send a business delegation, but I think the main purpose cannot be just to focus on weapons and equipment. We must also try to build relationships with those people in Shanghai to see if we can get them to stand on our side and not let them get involved with the southern forces."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room nodded constantly. Obviously, everyone thought his idea was very good, including Old Yuan, who nodded frequently.
Indeed, the combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment displayed by the Shanghai Military Group are too dazzling.
Although the vanguard army Duan Qi sent by Yuan Shikai did not fight with the Shanghai Army, a conclusion can be easily drawn by comparing the intelligence analysis of the battle between the Southern Army and the Shanghai Army obtained from various channels.
This conclusion is that the Northern Army is also not the opponent of the Shanghai Army.
Yes, that's the conclusion.
Although this conclusion is very frustrating, no matter how the northerners evaluate the combat effectiveness, weapons and equipment of both sides, they will eventually come to such a conclusion.
After all, the Shanghai Army beat the Southern Army like a dead tree and rotten wood, and the Southern Army did not even have the power to fight back. Based on this fact as an indicator, the Northern Army, which is only slightly stronger than the Southern Army, is obviously not the opponent of the Shanghai Army.
Imagine that the Northern Army could not do better than the Southern Army under the huge bomber group of the Shanghai Army and the overwhelming artillery attack.
The Shanghai Army has not shown obvious ambitions now, so this makes Yuan Xiangcheng's mind active.
Perhaps, the Shanghai Army is not impossible to win over.
Of course, it is also possible that the Shanghai Army also has the idea of unifying China.
But no matter what, these need to be finally determined through contact and understanding.
Yuan Xiangcheng really doesn't want to be an enemy of such a powerful opponent as the Shanghai Army unless he has no choice, because the chance of winning is too low.
He is not the young and incompetent man of the Southern Army.
He will not always think that he is invincible and put everyone on guard.
Especially after the Shanghai Army has demonstrated their strong military "muscles" through the battles some time ago, Yuan is even more unwilling and does not want to have such an enemy.
Status!
Wealth!
Power!
In a word, whatever the Shanghai Army wants, Yuan is willing to give it as long as he can.
As long as the Shanghai forces do not intend to compete with him for the world!
At most, he will give the Shanghai forces "land and title of king".
As long as he stabilizes the Shanghai forces, after he finally unifies China, there will be plenty of opportunities and time to slowly clean up and weaken them!
Yuan is a representative of old-fashioned people, and it is not surprising to have such considerations.
He planned to use the tactics to deal with the military forces in Shanghai. The most important thing at the moment was to stabilize and win over the forces in Shanghai.
No matter what, he could not let the forces in Shanghai go against him, or even stand on the side of the Southern Army.
In addition, Yuan knew what his goal was. Under the premise of unifying China and becoming the supreme ruler of China, he had nothing to be reluctant to give up.
But the problem was that Yuan was willing to give up everything, but he was not clear about the attitude of Shanghai and what price he could pay to achieve his goal.
As soon as the voice of Yang Huchan, the staff member, fell, Yuan slowly spoke up to take over the conversation.
"Shanghai had just fought with Sun Yat-sen's troops, and the Southern Army suffered a great loss, losing more than 100,000 troops. Therefore, the Southern Army must hate Shanghai to the bone at this moment.
What attitude the powers have towards Shanghai has nothing to do with us, and we can't control it!
But Hu Chan is right. We need to get closer to Shanghai now and try our best to get Shanghai to come to our side. If we can get Shanghai's support, it will be of great help to us to unify China. "
Lao Yuan's confidants in the room listened to his words quietly.
Unlike the generals in the hall outside, these people in the room are the real direct descendants, the ones who truly obey any orders from Lao Yuan.
Therefore, Lao Yuan must let his confidants clearly know his inner thoughts and plans.
"Commander! Then I will arrange for people to go to Shanghai tomorrow, in the name of a business group, just like those foreigners."
Yang Huchan nodded slightly and responded immediately.
Lao Yuan is still very satisfied with the response of his staff.
However, he still warned: "Be prepared with all the gifts and don't be reluctant to part with them. Compared with the whole world, a little money is nothing, so don't be petty. Moreover, the strength shown by Shanghai is worthy of our spending a lot of money to win over."
"Don't worry, Marshal, I won't be vague about this." Yang Huchan nodded.
Then Yuan Xiangcheng closed his eyes and thought about it in his mind, then opened his eyes and slowly said: "How much do we know about the situation in Shanghai?"
The person in charge of the northern intelligence system happened to be Lao Yuan's confidant and aide Yang Huchan, so he still had to answer this question.
"We have a lot of spies in Shanghai. According to the recent feedback, there are only a few people with real power in Shanghai. But I am not sure. Is this information true?"
"Oh? Why don't you come and listen?"
His staff had something to say and hesitantly, which aroused Yuan Xiangcheng's great interest.
At the same time, this not only attracted Lao Yuan, but also everyone in the room.
Yang Huchan organized his thoughts and recalled the intelligence information he had read about Shanghai. He slowly spoke out the information he had in this regard with a strange expression.
"The forces in Shanghai are somewhat similar to the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom. They are also communists, but their style is not as extreme as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they have won over a large number of support from the bottom people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang through the method of 'equalizing land'.
Therefore, the Shanghai army's combat effectiveness is extremely high because they have fanatical beliefs.
And as far as I know, these people believe in a so-called "Cao God". As for the origin of this "Cao God", I am not so clear.
Anyway, I have read all the classics and found that there is no such name as "Coco God" in myths and legends, even in foreign myths and legends. "
What Yang Huchan said has been heard by all of you sitting here.
Lao Yuan even couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he listened.
However, no one interrupted Yang Huchan's words. They all sat quietly in their seats and listened to his talk.
"What just surprised people is that the god that people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang believe in is not the kind of clay idol, but a living person. According to them, this is the true god who walks in the world and performs miracles!"
When he said this, Yang Huchan looked like he had seen a ghost.
This shows how incredible this matter is to him.
Hey!
The true God who walks the world!
Anyway, he didn't believe it, and felt that the people in the territory controlled by Jiangsu and Zhejiang Keke must have been deceived by the magician.
After all, the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom has done this before, so it is not certain that Baoqi’s current ‘Coco God Sect’ is also following the same path as the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom.
In a word, Yang Huchan doesn't believe in any 'true god'. At the same time, he feels that the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who have joined the 'Coco God Cult' are definitely deceived and deceived.
And Yang Huchan's tone suddenly became a little weird, "Perhaps everyone has never imagined that this so-called true god is actually the governor of Shanghai, and that one is called my sister-in-law." He looked around at everyone in the room who had insufficient brain capacity, including the one with a dull expression. After Yuan Xiangcheng, Yang Huchan continued.
"What's especially shocking is that according to the reliable intelligence sent by our people, the 'true god' Shanghai Governor's sister-in-law is just a little girl less than three years old! Yes, a little girl less than three years old !”
I really saw your ghost!
As Yang Huchan revealed this intelligence information, the expressions of everyone in the room became Spartan, and everyone's mouths looked like they couldn't close their mouths in surprise.
Yang Huchan maintained a strange expression, "Furthermore, the intelligence fed back by our people also said that the little girl is not a puppet. Her orders will be carried out by her subordinates seriously without compromise. Do you think it is strange?"
No wonder!
Isn’t this strange?
A little girl under three years old became the governor of Shanghai, and she had four powerful troops under her command. If his own staff had not said this, Lao Yuan would not have believed it!
