Wang Yingkai, a group of more than a dozen people, is the first middle-level and high-level backbone officer in Beiyang. Besides Zhao Dongyun, most of them will be important backbones of straight warlords in the future. If someone takes a photo of all the people tonight and takes it out in a few decades, he will definitely exclaim that this is the first meeting of straight warlords!

Now these people don’t think that their every move will affect the country’s direction. Now they include Wang Yingkai, an ordinary officer in Beiyang, but they can’t talk about their influence on political current affairs. Now they are more like young soldiers in this country
Wang Yingkai came to "you are all colleagues in the army for many years, many of whom have known each other, so I won’t introduce them one by one and sit still!" "
As soon as Wang Yingkai came in, he put on a gesture of being a dignitary. This gesture is not to say that he is high and annoying, but to be particularly kind. Everyone is caring and attentive, and he laughs a few words from time to time. This kind of behavior is precisely a gesture of attracting people’s hearts.
Of course, if you have to say that people are naturally fond of others, there is nothing to say.
This kind of means is similar to Zhao Dongyun’s second camp, which woos the face-collar officer and the sentry officer. Zhao Dongyun will also entertain the genus and ask after the cold. It is normal for him to do something and let others impose it on his head, which makes Zhao Dongyun somewhat uncomfortable.
It is understandable that all the people naturally turn around Wang Yingjie for others to be so deliberately flattering Wang Yingjie and Zhao Dongyun. After all, if his position is not special, I am afraid he will directly hug Wang Yingjie’s thigh, but he can’t. Besides the Duan Qirui factor, Zhao Dongyun should be more concerned about Yuan Shikai’s side.
Now everyone knows that Yuan Shikai has paid attention to himself. At this time, if he goes to take refuge in Duan Qirui or Wang Yingkai, it will easily arouse Yuan Shikai’s disgust.
So he is immersed in drinking and eating vegetables, occasionally answering a few words, and chatting with the girl around him from time to time, and he also knows the name of the girl around him, saying that it is Yingying. What is her real name? She didn’t say Zhao Dongyun or ask because there was no one.
When Zhao Dongyun talked a lot, it was serious to drink sanhua. However, he was not the only one among all the people. Feng Guozhang behaved almost exactly like him!
If Zhao Dongyun, Wang Zhanyuan, Xu Bangjie and others all belong to Wang Yingkai or the younger generation, then Feng Guozhang is a colleague of Wang Yingkai’s same echelon.
In Beiyang, Duan Qirui, Wang Yingkai, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen and Liu Yongqing are all high-level officials in Beiyang. Although they are trusted by Yuan Shikai to varying degrees, they are all high-level officials in Beiyang, while some officers such as Zhao Dongyun and Xu Bangjie are middle-level, while Bao Guiqing, Cao Kun and Wang Zhanyuan are barely middle-level.
Zhao Dongyun didn’t know why Feng Guozhang wanted to accept Wang Yingjie’s invitation to dinner, but they were definitely not subordinate, but more like ordinary colleagues. But if they were ordinary colleagues, then Feng Guozhang would never appear today.
To put it bluntly, this occasion is just an occasion for Wang Yingkai to win over others, but it is absolutely impossible for him to win over Feng Guozhang as a genus. Although Feng Guozhang’s status is not as good as Wang Yingkai’s, his immediate manager can be Yuan Shikai, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be Wang Yingkai.
Perhaps it was discovered that Zhao Dongyun observed himself. Feng Guozhang also looked at Zhao Dongyun and then nodded casually with a smile. Zhao Dongyun also nodded slightly and recalled that the original hand was holding a glass and paused slightly, which would vaguely make a toast.
Chapter 16 Give directions
Saw Zhao Dongyun casual toast that Feng Guozhang also slightly one leng, but soon is to look back as usual is also raised his hand in the glass back Zhao Dongyun a cup.
On this occasion today, Zhao Dong Cloud and Feng Guozhang are in a somewhat similar situation. They don’t belong to Wang Yingjie’s pie face, and it’s impossible to take refuge in Wang Yingjie. However, it’s not good to refuse them directly when Wang Yingjie personally invites them. This is also the reason why they just drink sanhua when they come.
Just because Zhao Dong Yun and Feng Guozhang are drinking sanhua separately doesn’t mean others are like them.
When Zhao Dong Yun and Feng Guozhang were talking and laughing with the beautiful women around them while drinking, others were already full of state affairs, pointing out the mountains and rivers one by one.
Then Cao Kun drank two more glasses and put down his glass. He suddenly slapped the table and blushed. He shouted, "Those Russians are really deceiving others. Last year, they signed an agreement on shame and ugliness, but they even occupied the three northeastern provinces and refused to leave in an attempt to occupy our territory. The fact that Russia is yellow is hateful!"
Later, Bao Guiqing was drunk and got up after hearing Cao Kun’s words. "I want to say, when we build a standing army, we will immediately March into the northeast and drive those old hairs back to the north!"
"Our standing army has not yet become an army, even if it has become an army, it will be few in number. If we want to recapture the Northeast, we will need ten towns less. We should build more new troops and ask me to have a new army in Beiyang and ten towns to worry about the three northeastern provinces!" The other Zonglian is also a Lickitung who dares to say anything.
Ten new towns! This kind of thing even now Yuan Shikai dare not think about it.
Zhao Dongyun has a feeling of crying and laughing when listening to these people’s words. Isn’t it said that all the northern warlords are traitors? Why are all patriotic young people full of blood today? There is a feeling of young soldiers.
When he thought of this, he couldn’t help thinking of an old saying that people always change, and there is no youth!
As he lamented these messy things, Cao Kun sat beside him and turned to Zhao Dong and said, "Brother Yang, you served in the Prussian Army. Tell me how many people the Prussian Army needs to defeat the Russian army of 100,000?"
During his study in Germany, Zhao Dongyun also entered the Prussian Army internship in addition to theoretical study at the Berlin Military Academy. It is also funny to say that in 19 years, Germany and China were at war, while Zhao Dongyun was in Prussian Army service at that time.
After a slight pause, Zhao Dongyun said, "If it is Prussia’s regular field munitions, three divisions will defeat the Russian army in the northeast!"
At this time, Cao Kun added, "My Beiyang New Army was built according to the Prussian Army. According to your opinion, how much essence did our army get from the Prussian Army? How many people are needed to defeat 100,000 Russian troops in the three northeastern provinces! "
As soon as this topic came out, everyone turned their attention to Zhao Dongyun. Obviously, they were very interested in the answer to this question!
I can feel the eyes of all the people. Zhao Dongyun sighed in my heart. Should I tell the truth or give them some confidence?
Seeing Zhao Dongyun’s delay in answering the first question, Wang Yingkai also said, "Dongyun, how much do you think my Beiyang New Army can gain from the Prussian Army?"
Zhao Dongyun looked around all the people at this time and then whispered, "The vanguard of my Beiyang armies is a new bottle of old wine. Although there is a brand of new army, at the bottom, the old army is even less than the Prussian army!"
Zhao Dongyun’s first sentence did not directly say that Wu Wei’s right army or a standing army, but that the vanguard of Wu Wei’s right army was not so good, but it was also the words of Beiyang’s first army that naturally we could not forget them.
However, on this occasion today, there are standing armies and Wuwei Right Soldiers. None of them is the vanguard of Wuwei Right Army, and Beiyang has always despised the vanguard. Everyone did not feel disgusted with Zhao Dongyun’s belittling of the vanguard of Wuwei Right Army, but nodded one by one. Wang Yingkai also said, "The vanguard is really a little worse than the world war I with the great powers, even 20% of its combat power can’t be exerted!"
At this time, Zhao Dongyun continued, "The number of people in the self-improvement army is too small, and the camp system is similar to that of the vanguard. Although the training and equipment are slightly better than that of the vanguard, they are limited. Let’s call it 20%!"
Everyone nodded again. The self-improvement army was only a few thousand people who edited and practiced the new army before the Zhang Dong Geng Incident. Last year, Yuan Shikai played a trick to get the Beiyang body. Now the self-improvement army in Beiyang naturally belongs to the serious Beiyang generals, and its position in the heart is even worse than that of the vanguard.
"For our right army of Wu Wei, because it is purely Western-style and all-new ordnance, guns or artillery are not lost to the armies of the great powers. If the right army of Wu Wei is fully staffed last year, it will be considered as 50% of the Prussian army!" Zhao Dongyun’s words are boastful of 50% combat power? This is too high for Wu Wei’s right army.
However, all the people in the field also understand why Zhao Dongyun will raise the fighting capacity of Wu Wei’s right army because Zhao Dongyun is a soldier of Wu Wei’s right army. It is abnormal if you don’t brag about your own troops.
When all the people listened to Zhao Dongyun’s words, they didn’t directly object, but when they listened, they all consciously lowered the data Zhao Dongyun said. They thought that the right army of Wu Wei definitely didn’t have 50% combat power of the Germans, but 30% to 40% combat power should not be a problem.
Zhao Dongyun, the right army of Wu Wei, said that the standing army "the operation method and battalion system of the new Beiyang standing army are more reasonable than that of the right army of Wu Wei. The first modern army equipment of our army has also maintained new rapid-fire guns and new artillery. Most of the officers and men were old people when I was training in Beiyang, and the soldiers were also good people. If we can get enough ordnance, ammunition and food in wartime, our standing army should be 70% of the Prussian army’s combat power."
