"Thank you for your hard work, Ziyu."

With a slight smile, Wu Peifu took the towel sent by the soldier and wiped his face: "Didn't you bring me from the Third Division just to do these things? Why, do these new recruits still catch your eye?"

Fang Zida laughed loudly and patted Wu Peifu's shoulder affectionately. The situation here was almost the same. He didn't want to go to the division headquarters for the time being, so he simply had two chairs moved, made a pot of tea, and sat with Wu Peifu.

They were chatting under the tree. Except for a few guards who kept watch from a distance, Li Shimao and others were sent away first.

"Ziyu's shots are indeed extraordinary! After today's walk around, it looks very good!" Fang Zida praised without hesitation. Deep in his memory, there were two figures in the Republic of China who were famous for their military training. One was Feng Yuxiang, and the other was

Wu Peifu. Fang Zida didn't have a good impression of Feng Yuxiang. This rebel general nicknamed General Christian, also known as Feng Zhanzhang, was far from being as great as described in history. Feng Yuxiang seemed to be loyal, but he was actually extremely cunning.

He has a capricious personality, believes in the principle that whoever has breasts is a mother, has a great desire for power, and is extremely arrogant. He has a very strict paternalistic style in leading troops. Fang Zida does not want the men he holds in one hand to stab him secretly.

Wu Peifu and Feng Yuxiang are completely different. Wu Peifu, who was born as a scholar, was the most important in his life. He was Yue Fei and Guan Yunchang. He had a stable and traditional character. He especially valued family and friendship. He was quite like the ancients who thought that a scholar would die for his confidant. And in terms of military training and fighting, he was completely different from Feng Yuxiang.

Look, he is no less inferior to Feng Yuxiang. This is the reason why Fang Zida chose him in the end.

He took a cigar and handed it to Wu Peifu. Wu Peifu had smoked opium in his early years, and later became addicted to cigarettes after quitting it. Of course Fang Zida knew his habit, so he struck a match and lit it for him first, and then lit it himself.

Got one.

Over cigarettes and tea, Fang Zida and Wu Peifu chatted about the reorganization of the Eighth Division. Wu Peifu, who was in charge of training and reorganization, was well aware of all aspects. He explained all the situations, and Fang Zida nodded repeatedly.

"Just now before Ziyu came to the future, I specifically asked about the use of weapons by the troops. I felt that the supply of bullets was still insufficient, and I was ready to expand the output of the ordnance factory again."

"This is good!" Wu Peifu nodded in approval: "Although the supply of five rounds of bullets is already a lot for other troops, it is far from enough to build the troops according to Brother Zhang Ming's vision. Now that the decision has been made, it couldn't be better.

."

After a pause, Wu Peifu hesitated and said: "Brother Zhangming, I want you to do a favor, can you?"

"Help?" Fang Zida said with a smile: "Brother Ziyu said, whatever Zida can do is fine."

"Okay! Brother Zhang Ming is so cool!" Wu Peifu slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "I want Brother Zhang Ming to give some new rifles and grenades to the third division. How about that?"

"Third Division?" Fang Zida did not expect that Wu Peifu would make this request. He originally thought that what Wu Peifu was going to say was either about the Eighth Division or his personal matters. Who would have thought that it was the Third Division of Wu Peifu's old army.

"Did Master Cao ask for it?" Fang Zida asked.

Wu Peifu quickly shook his head and explained: "That's not true. As you know, Brother Zhangming, I came from the Third Division, and Commander Cao is my old superior. Peifu has always been kind to him, and it can be said that without Commander Cao

, I, Wu Peifu, would not be where I am today..."

Fang Zida nodded silently: "I understand what Ziyu means. I won't hide some things from Ziyu. The central government has plans for the reorganization of the National Defense Force. The third division is not included in the plan for the time being. The new standard weapons are planned to be adapted according to the plan.

The equipment will be equipped one by one according to the progress, and the procurement at the ordnance factory is also uniformly arranged by the Ministry of National Defense. If you skip these links and directly reequip the third division, I am afraid..."

Seeing Wu Peifu opening his mouth to say something, Fang Zida waved his hand and said: "But then again, although it is impossible according to normal procedures, for Ziyu's sake, this matter is not non-negotiable, not to mention that Master Cao is also the president.

He is an old subordinate, and everyone is talking about it. He is not an outsider. Ziyu, do you think this will work? I will first allocate 2,000 rifles and 50 grenade launchers to the third division. Ziyu, you can share the letter with Commander Cao and ask him to use the third division.

The name of the Third Division was submitted to the Ministry of National Defense, requesting the Third Division to be reorganized into the National Defense Force. If the Ministry of National Defense approves it, then it will be justifiable for me to carry out the subsequent weapon replacement."

Wu Peifu was overjoyed by Fang Zida's suggestion. He nodded in agreement and offered a toast to Fang Zida with tea instead of wine.

Next, Fang Zida asked Wu Peifu about his assessment of the current combat effectiveness of the Eighth Division. Wu Peifu thought about this carefully before answering. In Wu Peifu's view, the current Eighth Division is superficially strong, and has undergone changes.

After installation, the firepower is countless times stronger than before. However, the Eighth Division has mostly new recruits, and the reorganization training is still in progress. His goal has not been completed yet. If he wants to truly form a strong combat effectiveness, it will take at least half a year.

.

"It will take half a year?" Fang Zida couldn't help but frowned, and after thinking about it, he asked: "From Ziyu's perspective, to what extent does the Eighth Division compare with other troops?"

"I don't know much about other units yet. Let's compare them with my original Third Division. In terms of local combat effectiveness, the soldiers of the Third Division are well-trained, and the individual soldiers of the Eighth Division have strong firepower. The two can be said to be equally matched.

, if we look at the entire division as a whole, the combat effectiveness of the Third Division is definitely stronger than that of the Eighth Division."

He breathed a sigh of relief. The original 8th Division was known as the most powerful army in KMT, while the 3rd Division was known as the 1st Beiyang Division. Wu Peifu's vision was indeed high. In his opinion, this so-called powerful army and the 1st Division were not real at all.

He made the previous judgment based on the comparison with the elite armies of powerful Western countries. Who would have thought that the starting point of Fang Zida's question was completely different from his, and he almost misunderstood him.

After smiling, Fang Zida asked again: "How about comparing it with Zhang Xun and Tian Zhongyu's patrol camp?"

"Hmph, can these chickens and dogs be compared with the Third Division and the Eighth Division?" Wu Peifu said disdainfully. Suddenly he was stunned and looked at Fang Zida with complicated eyes: "Brother Zhangming,

You don’t want to attack Zhang Xun, Tian Zhongyu and the others, do you?”

"Why not?" Fang Zida asked with a smile.

Wu Peifu was suddenly surprised and said: "What? Do you really want to do this?"

Fang Zida nodded and said seriously: "Ziyu should know who Zhang Xun is. As for Tian Zhongyu's patrol camp, it is not a good thing either. These two families occupy the land in Shandong, causing public resentment, especially Zhang Xun's repeated resistance

The central government refused to obey the dispatch and even entered Jiangsu to attack friendly forces last year. What's the use of keeping such a force? To be honest, Brother Ziyu, the reorganization of Shandong by the National Defense Forces is an important step. I plan to attack Shandong in the near future. If Zhang Xun and Tian Ziyu know how to practice, everything will be possible.

It's easy to say, otherwise... hum!"

Wu Peifu remained silent, smoking a cigarette and sitting there thinking quietly. After a long time, he nodded and said: "Since the Central Committee and Brother Zhangming have decided, I, Wu Peifu, will never object. But the ugly words are ahead, the Eighth Division

Although the training has been effective, if we go to the battlefield now, the army with mostly new recruits will probably be completely damaged. In my opinion, to deal with Zhang Xun and others, it is better to wait a little longer and wait for half a year for everything to take shape.

I can wipe out all the chickens and dogs without any effort!"

"Half a year...half a year..." Fang Zida shook his head with a wry smile and stretched out a finger to shake: "I will give Ziyu a month at most. In one month, the Eighth Division will go north to Shandong and forcibly adapt Zhang Xun and Tanaka Tambu.

."

"Why? Can't you afford to wait for only half a year?" Wu Peifu felt very strange.

"Time waits for us not!" Fang Zida sighed. It is already June, and the world situation will undergo great changes in one month. He must seize the land of Shandong first, otherwise it will be too late. As for solving Zhang Xun, Tian Ziyu

The headquarters is a prerequisite for entering Shandong. Compared with Tian Ziyu, Fang Zida attaches more importance to solving Zhang Xun. Don’t forget that last year, it was this commander who fought with him on the outskirts of Nanjing and almost entered Nanjing.

* Capital, destroyed the 8th Division. There was an old grudge, and it’s surprising that Fang Zida, who now has 20,000 soldiers, could let him go easily.
