Chapter 49 Preparation for War(1/2)

After everything was arranged, Zhu Chuanwen mainly waited for the melee to end.

This is a world war, regardless of the international situation.

There are two aspects related to the current presidential palace.

One aspect is that there is an area in the mainland that can be regarded as a battlefield.

It is the war between days and virtues surrounding Jiaozhou Bay in Shandong.

There is nothing to say about this war. It is simply the interests of Dezi who are jealous of Dezi and want to replace Dezi's privileges in Shandong.

This was because Dezi's forces in Shandong were isolated and without support.

This war did not last long. It ended not long after it started in 2014.

But in fact, through this war, we can also see a little bit of Japan's current strength.

Its strength in the East is pretty good, but it's not ranked high in the world.

A Dezi army of three or four thousand can withstand fifty thousand soldiers.

If it weren't for Yingzi's help, I don't know how many people would have been lost and how long it would have taken to get these thousands of virtues.

But in a practical sense, this war has no benefits for the presidential office.

Although the war took place in the mainland, the mainland did not even get the identity of a participating party.

Apart from being affected and killing a lot of people, there was nothing else related.

The second thing is that just now, the Presidential Office finally got the opportunity to participate in the war.

The world war has been going on for three years, and the Presidential Office has never said that the weakness of the country is definitely the most important aspect.

Even compared with the weakest Western forces, the power of the presidential office is completely inadequate.

Another thing is that under the presidential palace, it is all ruled by warlords. The military is the foundation of warlords everywhere. When they are all private armies, no one is willing to sacrifice their own power.

The other one is Day, who has been obstructing the Presidential Palace from participating in the war internationally and does not want the Presidential Palace to express its existence internationally.

In 2017, the right time finally came.

Many forces in the West can no longer withstand the consumption of war and need support.

It just so happened that there were smart people in the presidential administration who saw this opportunity.

I thought of a roundabout way to join the war.

It means sending workers to Europe, contributing to the war through labor, and making their voices heard internationally.

After these workers arrived in the West, they were mainly responsible for hard work such as digging trenches, loading and unloading ammunition, building roads and bridges, etc.

Although he is a laborer, he is actually doing engineering work. He works seven days a week, basically all year round, and works more than ten hours a day.

Even if it is stipulated in the labor contract, workers do not need to go to the battlefield.

However, when working on the front line, war is unavoidable, and we are always faced with the threat of artillery fire.

Many times, when you pick up a gun and go to the battlefield, casualties are naturally unavoidable.

It sounds like this kind of labor is not friendly enough, but these workers really help the presidential office improve its status in the world.

At least the abuse caused by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the unequal treaties signed with foreign countries.

Because labor participated in the war, many of these unequal treaties could be abolished.

Several forces from the defeated countries lost their qualifications and were driven out.

Not to mention the issue of sovereignty, in terms of economics alone, we can at least gain benefits of several hundred million silver dollars.

Britain and France sent hundreds of thousands of workers to the presidential palace.

Maozi mainly recruits people from the Northeast, and no one has statistics on the original history.

But since Zhu Chuanwen controlled the railway, he certainly had no idea of ​​this number.

During the war years, no fewer than 100,000 workers were stripped of their hair.

Including those who went to Maozi in the previous years, the number of outsiders who contributed to Maozi in the Maozi area will not be less than 500,000, which is already a quite huge number.

Catching up with the industrial age, other forces are short of labor and population.

But the East has the largest population in the world and has huge potential.

It’s no wonder that higher-level forces want to get a share of this land.

By the time the war came to an end, it was already 1918.

The winners and losers have been decided one after another on the main battlefield.

The east side has basically been calm, and the only strong point in the east side has also begun to become restless.

"Captain, Fengtian is going to attack us."

Mr. Guo, who was born in Fengtian, reports with Zhu Chuanwen.

"Maochen, don't be impatient yet. Where did Fengtian get to be so bold and dare to attack us?"

After breakthroughs were made in the military factory's research, manufacturing small-caliber artillery was no longer a problem for Zhu Chuanwen.

The Black Province is also absolutely rich in resources, and there is no shortage of minerals needed for the military industry.

After the artillery unit caught up, Zhu Chuanwen's strength far surpassed Fengtian.

In the past two years, Fengtian was suppressed miserably by Zhu Chuanwen.

If they hadn't been causing trouble behind the scenes, supporters Fengtian and Zhu Chuanwen would have been trying to balance things out one day.

In fact, the strength of both sides is no longer on the same level.

"I heard that they looted a sum of arms worth 40 million and sold them to the Presidential Palace."

Forty million in arms, if you buy rifles alone, you can buy two million.

Of course, equipping troops should not only equip them with rifles, machine guns, artillery, cars, trucks, and other equipment.

But no matter how you calculate it, these equipment are enough to equip several divisions, and 30 to 50 thousand people is not a big problem.

Zhu Chuanwen himself also engaged in arms business, but each transaction was only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of silver dollars.

It is far incomparable to this kind of multi-million dollar business.

The industrial gap is actually quite large.

"Who are you trying to fool? If no one cooperates, just because his surname is Zhang, does he have the guts to touch things in the Presidential Palace?"

It was said to be an armed robbery, but it was actually a political struggle.

The Fengtian Zhang family is good at long-sleeved dance, but they can't beat Zhu Chuanwen alone.

It is inevitable to look for foreign aid. When your strength is not enough, you will have to look for your big brother.

On the road to making a fortune in Fengtian, what I am best at doing is doing these things.

The eldest brother abroad definitely doesn't have enough life, and many times his life is beyond his reach.

Fengtian in the country also needs its own big brother.

After Yuan Datou's death, there were many factions in the presidential office, and internal fighting became fierce.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fengtian is a big force, and there is no shortage of capable young men to recruit.

In any case, Fengtian has a provincial territory and several divisions of troops. In this era, no one dares to underestimate it.

"No matter what, with these equipment, Fengtian will have a strong army and is already a big threat to us."

Master Guo is originally from Fengtian, but he is actually a progressive person and has long joined the progressive alliance.

After Zhu Chuanwen exposed Fengtian's true nature, he became disgusted with Fengtian.

What Fengxi did this time actually broke through the political bottom line.

Although the warlords fight fiercely, most of the warlords are friends who have trained together in Tianjin and have a common bond with each other.

Warlords are actually pretty disciplined among themselves and have their own default set of unspoken rules.

For example, a melee battle is fine, but a warlord war only requires chassis and not human lives.

There have been wars for so many years, but no warlord has been killed.

Whether a warlord fails in a political or military struggle, he can flee to a lease or take refuge in a foreign country.

The main thing is that by announcing that he is stepping down, he can withdraw from the fight and live the life of a rich man.

You can even accumulate strength by going out to the field, and it will be no problem to come back when you have the strength.

Therefore, the warlords of this period may not have any bottom line for the people.

But the bottom line between each other is still quite high.

Fengtian has always been a responsive presidential administration, but after such a wave of looting, it is actually quite dishonorable.

But this cannot be said to be wrong, forty million silver dollars worth of equipment.

It can be said that a warlord can be created instantly.
