    Hans von Sickert, the founder of the German Wehrmacht after World War I, was a Prussian who earned the nickname "Sphinx" (Sphinx) for his taciturn nature and modest way of life.  The general's son, after listening to Yu Dawei's translation, couldn't help but feel the blood boiling in his heart. Since the end of the war, Germany has fallen into unprecedented turmoil and chaos, and most people attribute all this to the incompetence of the German army.  Today, he heard such a high evaluation of the German army from a diplomatic representative from the hostile side. He finally knew what it means to be glorious in spite of defeat. He, who has always been reserved, actually proposed it to the current German Commander-in-Chief Marshal Hindenburg for the first time.  : "I am willing to serve as the person in charge of such a military cooperation project to preserve some vitality for Germany's national defense strength. Marshal, please do not refuse me. It is shameful to have a country without defense." The next conversation became more specific.  In fact, Wang Chonghui knows nothing about military affairs at all, but it doesn't matter. The role of diplomats is to express the opinions of the superiors with the most appropriate opinions, so he has long taken Wang Zhenyu's request to heart: "We need MP18 automatic submachine guns, the army's heavy-duty  Design drawings and experimental data of artillery, tanks and other military equipment. At the same time, we hope to cooperate with your country in the production of submarines, battleships, and combat aircraft. We guarantee that once our German friends recover one day, the products we produce will be produced by our German friends.  Half of it can be recovered at the cost price. "Such a large-scale and secretive cooperation project is obviously not something that can be negotiated by a private party. Next, Major General Huang Shaohong, the head of the military delegation who appeared in France on behalf of the National Government, met with the German Wehrmacht.  The first secret meeting was held on behalf of Major General Rundstedt. First, an intention was reached on the dispatch of a military advisory group, and preliminary discussions were conducted on basic cooperation methods and directions.  It is said to be a discussion, but in fact it is a process in which the Chinese put forward their preferential treatment and conditions, and the Germans then counteroffer.  Before Huang Shaohong left for Germany, he was interviewed alone by Wang Zhenyu for more than three hours. Wang Zhenyu shared his thoughts with Huang Shaohong. This not only made Huang Shaohong feel trusted, but also felt that he had a heavy responsibility.  So Huang Shaohong finally proposed the plan of hiring Germans after many deliberations: The first cooperation plan is to build a model army in the army. The characteristic of this army is that the soldiers are all between 16 and 20 years old, and have received high-level training  cultural education, and necessary German or English training. The entire army is divided into four integrated divisions according to the agreement, but not all of them are army. The specific composition is 2 army infantry divisions and 1 army mechanized division (composed of cavalry and tanks).  Composed), 1 air force division (including 120 various combat aircraft, including one fighter group (60 fighters), two bomber groups (36 bombers), and one reconnaissance squadron (24 aircraft)), in this  In a large-scale army, all battalion commanders, regiment commanders, and division commanders are appointed by demotion. More importantly, squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders are all appointed by German soldiers. The staff supervisors above the battalion and half of the staff officers are appointed by German soldiers.  Soldiers, this army's equipment will introduce MP18 submachine guns and tanks in accordance with regulations.  The second cooperation plan is to gather the best German military advisers to form Wang Zhenyu's staff team. Wang Zhenyu is actually not satisfied with the general staff led by Wan Yaohuang. Although Wan Yaohuang's own ability is no problem,  But the staff team under his command are amateurs, but there is no way. The youth army is expanding too fast. For many people, attending military academy is more like gold plating.  The third cooperation plan is to recruit a large number of German instructors from the universities of the navy, air force and army to complete the final upgrade of the youth army's combat effectiveness.  The fourth cooperation plan is cooperation in the military industry. Although it involves the military, it mostly involves Krupp and Siemens.  As for the selection of military advisers, Wang Zhenyu personally selected several candidates: for the army, Guderian (the father of the German Blitzkrieg in history), Model (the German defense master in history), Rommel (the Desert Fox in history),  Manstein (strategist during World War II), Goering (air combat hero) and so on.  In the two years that followed, as many as two million Germans finally made the trip, including approximately 1.3 million dependents, and 650,000 industrial technicians, scientific researchers, and education and training personnel.  The military personnel also reached an astonishing number of more than 30,000, and a large number of unemployed German officers found their new jobs and jobs in the distant East.  Not only Germany's traditional Juncker capitalists, but also a large number of Jews have found new business opportunities in China. According to incomplete statistics, in just three years from 1918 to 1920, a total of more than six billion US dollars poured into the Chinese market.  , causing the entire Chinese economy to experience a spurt of growth in just three years, with American capital accounting for 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, ranking first, among which the Rockefeller family andThe Morgan family invested US$700 million; overseas Chinese from Nanyang and other parts of the world invested US$2.2 billion in their hometowns, occupying the second place. At this time, I have to lament that Chinese overseas Chinese are really extraordinary in creating wealth.  ; Investment from Europe is only 1.3 billion US dollars, of which Germany actually accounts for 70%. In China's technology introduction cooperation, Germany accounts for 80% of the total, in mining, metallurgy, manufacturing, military industry, heavy industry, etc.  Germans appear in every field.  At this time, the Japanese were still debating whether to send troops to Russia, and they did not notice that the lion beside them that had been sleeping for nearly three hundred years was entering the second wave of development and was not far from fully awakening.  Because of the success of this secret diplomacy, Wang Chonghui was appointed chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Congress and vice minister of foreign affairs shortly after returning to China.  As for Yu Dawei, because of his outstanding performance in this negotiation, he was commended by a circular from the National Security Bureau, and was subsequently awarded military status. According to his personal wishes, he was assigned to serve in the Ministry of Armament system with the rank of major.  On September 11, 1918, the German military advisory group led by Commander von Sickert arrived in China. Wang Zhenyu personally went to Shanghai to pick up the ship. Almost from this moment on, the Youth Army entered a state of second large-scale upgrade. The entire army's  The strength has risen to a higher level, but what is surprising is that almost from this moment on, rigidity, strong planning, and bravery have become the core of this army. The whole of Asia and even the world began to tremble uncontrollably.  Get up,,.  Beijing, the Forbidden City, although the Republic of China was only in 1978, the peeling white paint on the palace walls can't help but reveal an air of decadence.  It¡¯s not that the Aisin Gioro family doesn¡¯t care about royal dignity, but that life has become increasingly difficult in recent years.  In the third year of Xuantong, the last year of the Qing Empire, the sound of revolution had resounded throughout the south. The Manchu Qing government's finances collapsed. On one side, the rich and wealthy princes and nobles refused to use even half of their own money to subsidize the country.  Yes, but on the other side are the poor men of the Eight Banners who are constantly making noises about their pay. It is said that they are born to be soldiers, but they can be used to disrupt the party. I'm sorry, I don't have the skills.  So the Qing Empire collapsed due to the efforts of such a group of people. From this point of view, in terms of contribution to the revolutionary cause, Prince Qing is definitely ranked above Sun Wen.  As a result, Yuan Shikai used the preferential treatment of 4 million silver dollars per year in exchange for the abdication of the Qing Emperor. The price of co-writing the emperor was just this. After calculation, Prince Qing's net worth can be enough to be the emperor for 25 years, and the Eight Banners  Those self-proclaimed brave soldiers hurriedly went to the teahouse to walk the birds after receiving their last flag pay. As for the life and death of the Qing Dynasty, they had nothing to do with them. As for what to do next year if their pay and silver are not paid, tomorrow will happen tomorrow.  Let¡¯s talk again.  The four million yuan annual royal abdication bonus actually started to be discounted in 1915, but more than half of it was still available. The only thing that dissatisfied the royal family was that Yuan Shikai forcibly took back the three palaces in order to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.  It was owned by the Republic of China government.  After Yuan Shikai failed to proclaim himself emperor and died, the financial crisis of the Beiyang government further intensified. Duan Qirui still missed the old friendship and saved the annual expenses of four million to one million. Naturally, he did not deny the rest, but defaulted on it.  , okay, one million silver dollars in Sichuan during the Republic of China could almost support an army division. There are not too many people in the palace now, so it is enough to make do.  The real tragedy happened last year. As a result of the Zhi-Anhui War, Duan Qirui¡¯s Anhui warlords withdrew from the stage of history in an instant, so even one million became a problem.  It was Zhang Zuolin who succeeded Duan Qirui and took over the political power in Beijing. Beijing also became the territory of the Northeast Fengjun. However, the Fengjun did not pay attention to the emperor in the Forbidden City at all. You must know that when the emperor gained power, our veteran Zhang was still  He became a bandit among the white mountains and black waters.  So Zhang Zuolin not only scolded the representatives of the purge and drove them away, he even considered whether to get some money from the palace to supplement his own military expenditure. On the spot, he frightened several representatives of the purge and ran away.  .  Zhang Zuolin is indeed in financial difficulty now. Recruiting troops was easy at first. Two hundred thousand troops were like blowing up balloons and turned into 700,000. It is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. It is easy to expand the army but difficult to dismantle it. Zhang Zuolin is now fighting for his subordinates every day.  The brothers were worried about eating.  As for the Forbidden City, I'm sorry, I couldn't take care of it, so the entire imperial city couldn't help but decline, and the clan had nothing to do about it.
