Republic of China game

"Furthermore, in the Second Russo-Japanese War, the mobilization system of the Japanese army was also the key to their ability to quickly mobilize and deploy troops and achieve victory! Our National Revolutionary Army is still basically blank in this regard. Our military The strength is only limited to 21 army divisions and a small number of local security forces. There is no large and effective reserve mobilization system like Japan. If we encounter a full-scale invasion of imperialism, we are likely to be stagnant after the outbreak of war The state of fatigue! This is especially worthy of our attention!"

"Japan's reserve service and national spirit mobilization system are very worthy of our reference. China and Japan are now close in strength and are in a critical stage of construction and development, and they do not have the financial resources and necessity to maintain a large standing army. Therefore, we adopt more training and fewer troops. Therefore, the strategy of embedding soldiers in the people is very necessary. However, the current situation in our country is that the backward military recruitment system is still implemented, and the management and education of the people, except for the compulsory education for young people, is basically in a state of laissez-faire. Once a sudden It is impossible for the national government to quickly mobilize the army to go to war. For this, we must fully study the system and experience of Japanese national mobilization, and then formulate a national mobilization system suitable for China's national conditions..."

"In the end, our naval and army officer education and promotion system is still relatively arbitrary, and no effective and rigorous system has been formed. This is not conducive to the training and selection of outstanding military cadres, and is also not conducive to the management and combat command of the army. Therefore, it is also recommended that The Military Commission should refer to the training and promotion standards of Japanese and German officers as soon as possible, and establish our own system and system for the National Revolutionary Army."

Today, only seven people attended this important meeting in Sun Yat-sen's study, Sun Yat-sen, Hu Hanmin, Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Chongzhi, Luo Yiqun, Liao Zhongkai, and Luo Yaoguo.It was naturally Luo Yaoguo who was speaking eloquently at the moment, and this report was also something that he, An Sihua, Bai Chongxi and others worked out, with the purpose of promoting a new round of military reform.Build the National Revolutionary Army into a strong army capable of winning future wars!And this future war... In Luo Yaoguo's mind, it is the last chance to carve up the world - the Second World War!If we can't fight for China's due interests in this world-class imperialist hegemony, I'm afraid there will be no chance of being an imperialist when we enter the atomic age.

After speaking, Luo Yaoguo's throat felt a little dry, he picked up the teacup on the tea table in front of him, and drank a few sips.By the way, he scanned the people in the study with the corner of his eyes.Sun Yat-sen seems to be really old, and he has been on the plane for several hours. He seems to be a little drowsy at the moment, with his eyes slightly closed, resting there!Hu Hanmin, on the other hand, seemed to be listening carefully, and was still holding a writing brush in his hand to record in a small notebook... I guess he copied it to show off his "military talent" at the meeting of the national government, right?Lao Jiang nodded frequently, as if he was very knowledgeable. He probably nodded when he heard that he wanted to learn Germany and Japan?Xu Chongzhi was naturally still dozing off listlessly, needless to say, he is now a great god of balance.Uncle Luo and Liao Zhongkai seemed to be listening carefully.

"Yichen, Zhongkai, tell me how much the national government's fiscal revenue can reach in 17 years?" At this time, Sun Yat-sen, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, suddenly asked a question. It seemed that he hadn't fallen asleep just now.

When Luo Yiqun heard that he was asking himself, he hurriedly replied: "Back to the President, the national government's fiscal revenue next year is expected to reach 15 billion French currency, which is a full increase of 14% compared to the 50th year of the Republic of China!"

Sun Yat-sen asked again: "What about the expenditure?"

Luo Yiqun was taken aback, and sighed softly: "The budget for expenditure is 16 billion yuan! The deficit is 5000 million yuan, and we plan to issue bonds to make up for it."

Sun Yat-sen opened his eyes, glanced at "Housekeeper Luo", smiled and said, "How are you going to spend the 16 billion yuan?"

Luo Yiqun explained: "The biggest expenditure right now is military expenditure, with a budget of 5000 million yuan. The second is education expenditure in 5000 provinces (districts), not only compulsory education for young people, but also thirteen provinces other than Sichuan. A large number of middle schools and universities are being built. In addition, the original public colleges and universities will also receive more investment from the government. Educational funds are expected to support 5000 million yuan. The third is construction expenditures, mainly from the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Industry, The budget of the Ministry of Agriculture is mainly used to build railways, roads, large-scale water conservancy facilities, and large-scale electric power facilities. The investment in this area is very huge. Fortunately, private capital and international capital are also willing to invest now, so the burden on the government is greatly Reduced. The budget for construction expenditure is also 4000 million yuan. The rest is the expenditure of governments at all levels, 6000 million yuan for the central government, and finally [-] million yuan for the land reform pilot project in Henan Province.”

Sun Yat-sen nodded, looked at Luo Yaoguo who was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile: "The 16 billion yuan is so wasteful! Has your military reform plan been included in the budget? Have you got it all? "

16 billion!This figure is almost equal to the highest income of the national government before the war of resistance in history.And in this time and space, it was actually achieved in 5000, which is no small miracle.It seems that a stable social environment, a unified currency, reasonable tariff protection, and a strict tax system are really necessary conditions for national development.For the sake of these things, the national government temporarily gave up the central government and gave up the unification of China, which is still very worthwhile.

Luo Yaoguo thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Back to the President, how to spend next year's military budget has not yet been finalized. However, there are 5000 million yuan, so it should be possible to arrange it. At present, although our legal currency It's a little lower, but 5000 million is still equivalent to [-] million US dollars! This kind of military expenditure is much higher than that of our neighbor Japan. How can it not be arranged? Besides... this time the military Several projects to increase investment in the reform plan, such as shipbuilding, aircraft, coal chemical industry, engines, tanks, automobiles, new artillery, etc., were originally planned to be invested. Now it is just a little more emphasis, and It’s not that the investment will be completed in one year, but it will be divided into several years.”

Sun Yat-sen nodded in relief, and then asked: "Then what kind of projects will we mainly invest in this year? Is it an airplane or a chariot?"

Luo Yaoguo thought about it again, and replied: "This year's projects are mainly shipyards, aircraft manufacturing plants, aircraft engine factories, coal mines and coal chemical plants in Henan Province, and aluminum mines, alumina, and electrolytic aluminum plants in Guangxi. Copper mines and copper smelters, as well as the construction of other non-ferrous metal mines and smelting plants. Some of these projects plan to introduce private capital for development again in a suitable situation. The other is the national mobilization and national spirit. We plan to Cooperate with the Ministry of Education. Then there is the expansion of the aviation, armored and submarine forces. The aviation force currently only has a brigade of forty aircraft, and plans to expand tenfold in two years! Moreover, the naval aviation force will also be formed. The armored force plans to form a division. This year, we will first expand to one brigade. The submarine force will use Krupp’s technology to secretly build three submarines at the Guangzhou shipyard. This project has already started, and it is expected that the first training submarine will be delivered within this year. Finally, The reform of the officer training and promotion system will not cost much money."

Sun Yat-sen smiled happily after hearing this: "Very well, the Military Commission will be responsible for the specific arrangements for the military reform. Only by doing a good job in the army can we China be proud in the world and stop being bullied by others. "

……

On the grassland outside the Mongolian Kulun military camp, neat footsteps stirred up dust all over the sky.Groups of soldiers lined up in company lines, first walking, and then walking in front of a group of inspectors.Every soldier has brand new outfits, new uniforms, new backpacks, new felt boots, new thick military blankets, and carries a civilian [-]-style rifle with a bayonet on his shoulders. their order.

These officers of the Mongolian Front of the Red Army with complex compositions are all standing at the head of the team.In front of each company line, there are the chief and deputy company commanders, company instructors, and three platoon leaders.Their military appearance was impeccable. They wore holsters of pistols on their waists, and their goose steps were even more standard than soldiers.

What is shown here today is Wang Zhongyi's guard brigade, which is the most impressive unit in the entire Mongolian front army.Wang Zhongyi arranged this military parade to show the might of the Mongolian Red Army to General Wang Zixing, the "Northwest King" who came to Mongolia for a "friendly visit"!It is not only to show muscle to this ambitious neighbor, but also to accumulate a little leverage in the upcoming cooperation negotiations between the two companies.

At present, the big and small newspapers in Beijing and Tianjin all list Wang Zixing and Wang Zhongyi as the two kings of the Northwest.One is to control the three provinces (regions) in the Northwest, with 20 soldiers.The other is to control Mongolia, with [-] soldiers.Adding one piece to the other, they happened to be defending China's northwest border.And the enemy they faced was the same, that was the Soviet Union.Under such circumstances, the two kings naturally wanted to seek a union, so there was this Wang's self-examination visit.

It was Luo Yaoguo's Junkers plane that sent Wang Zixing to Xinjiang. This sixteen-seat plane was the property of the Intelligence Bureau of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, so this meeting was naturally coordinated by the Military Intelligence Bureau.At this moment, Wang Zhongyi's brother, Gao Shaojie, the deputy director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, was also happily standing with the two kings, reviewing this valiant and high-spirited army.

During the voice of the password, Wang Zhongyi suddenly turned around and smiled at his brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time: "Brother Wenyang, how do you feel? Our army can be called elite?"

Gao Shaojie chuckled: "Brother is really good at joking. You can tell if you are an elite by looking at the goose step? It takes a little more time to practice and you can kick it out. It's no big deal. Jun Hao, what do you think?"

Hearing Gao Shaojie's question, Wang Zixing adjusted his glasses and gave him a cold look.The standard appearance of an unpredictable dictator: "The formation of this army has been quite good - especially in such a short period of time. The equipment can even be regarded as excellent. The Revolutionary Army is the same. There are also Min 60 heavy machine guns, and even no infantry squad is equipped with Czech light machine guns. The regiment is also equipped with 75mm mortars. I also saw twelve Min [-] Type [-]mm mountain artillery. In addition, I have also seen... the awe and obedience of the officers and soldiers of this army to discipline, as long as they receive enough training, they should be able to become the best fighters."

Wang Zhongyi smiled proudly, and was about to say something modest.For his [-] Red Army, Luo Yaoguo spent tens of millions of special budget from the Military Intelligence Bureau, and gave them all the guns and ammunition seized in the Zhabeinuoer battle.Moreover, all the means of ideological education and political work of the Communist Party have been used.Isn't the army built by such joint efforts elite?With such an elite... Defending Mongolia is no longer a problem.

But Wang Zixing suddenly changed the subject: "It's just... such an army is far from being able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Mongolia! It's just that the Soviet Union and Japan are not ready yet, so you and I can get away with it After a while. After two or three years, when they get everything ready, how long can such an army last? Don’t forget, Mr. Zhong, that we are alone and fighting thousands of kilometers away from the rear!"

After listening to the other party's analysis, Wang Zhongyi couldn't help but look serious, his eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking hard about a countermeasure.

After a pause, Wang Zixing sounded as calm as usual, and the emotionless words rang out again: "War is just logistics! Our national strength in China is not as good as that of the Soviet Union, and Xinjiang and Mongolia don't have an inch of railroad tracks at the moment. I'm afraid there won't be any in the future. Every bullet, every cannonball, and every rifle we use is transported from thousands of kilometers away by primitive means such as mules, horses and camels! The Soviet Union has the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Central Asian Railway, compared to this, we have already lost half."

"...And our youth army and your Red Army Mongolian Army are still fighting independently. We can only maintain 5 troops in Xinjiang at most. You are 15. A total of [-] troops...and the logistics are not guaranteed. They fight on their own, without a unified command, or even coordination. This way, the command of the number of weapons and equipment training is better than our Soviet Red Army. It is a miracle not to lose!"

Chapter 0363 of the germination of the military (two)

Wang Zhongyi established the headquarters of his Mongolian Front Army in the official office of the former Minister of Kulun of the Qing government.This official government office, which was built in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, is quite large, with all kinds of flower halls in the backyard of the public hall.Although it is a bit worn out, it is much more comfortable to live in than those crudely built Western buildings.It's not that Wang Zhongyi is pursuing enjoyment, it's actually that he is now the head of the family, and there are a lot of wives, concubines, children and servants in the house, so it's really inconvenient not to have a spacious place.As for...the communists can't marry concubines, uh, actually Comrade Choibalsan and Comrade Demid have several wives!

Today Wang Zhongyi held a banquet in the flower hall of the headquarters to entertain Wang Zixing, the "Northwest King" who came to Mongolia for a visit.Wang Zhongyi's confidantes were all together, including Wang Guodong, Liu Dezhu, Chen Tian, ​​Tang Yao, and even Lin Yurong.

The table is full of treasures from all seasons, and there is a mutton hot pot in the middle, which is the most lively time.

Wang Zixing's face was still as deep as water, with a cold, dead face. He used thunderous methods in Xinjiang, and he put on a sullen face all day long.As time goes by, probably also forget how to laugh?However, this ferocious vigor has calmed down many people and made the ground in Xinjiang a lot more peaceful, so he can come to Mongolia for a "visit" with confidence.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Wang Zhongyi grinned and looked at Wang Zixing beside him: "Brother Junhao, don't blame me, brother, I am a rough man, and I don't know how to talk around corners. This time, brother came to Mongolia Why don't you tell me exactly what idea you have, so that we can sum it up at this banquet?"

"I do the same. I like to talk straight." Wang Zixing said in his usual tone: "I know that what we are in now is not a real peace, but a truce! The struggle between the three countries of China, the Soviet Union, and Japan is just Pause is not the end. And our youth army, and the Mongolian Front Army of your Red Army, will surely be at the forefront of the Sino-Soviet struggle in the future! This is also the purpose of him (Luo Yaoguo) who has spared no effort to support us these years? Since Both of us have a common enemy and a common supporter, why not let us join hands to deal with the common enemy of the Soviet Union?"

Wang Zixing's words have clearly conveyed his intentions to everyone present.Their youth army will join forces with the Mongolian Front Army to deal with the Soviet Union.

Wang Zhongyi nodded: "Is that all?"

Wang Zixing glanced coldly at the dinner party in the flower hall, and said, "Since we want to join forces, we should be serious, or we might as well not join hands. My idea is to set up a joint staff group to coordinate the military operations of the two sides." And deployment, and we should also reform our military according to the actual situation in Mongolia and Xinjiang, so that it can adapt to future wars. In other words, we must also carry out necessary military reforms, and we cannot hold on to the inherent thinking. "

Hearing the word military reform, Wang Zhongyi frowned, as if he had thought of something, and just about to ask, Wang Zixing answered quickly and anxiously: "Our army will fight against the Soviet Red Army in the future! The Soviet Red Army is far superior to us in terms of firepower and mobility. If we fight a decisive battle with them... Hehe, with the strength in our hands, I am afraid that we will not be able to last for a long time! We may not even be able to survive Reinforcements from the National Revolutionary Army have arrived."

Wang Zhongyi's eyebrows frowned even tighter, and with an expression of deep thought, he murmured inaudibly to himself: "After all, the Soviet Union is a powerful industrialized country, and we can't match it... That's why we're hanging up with the Communist Party right now." The signboard, it can be regarded as making them have scruples? If we really fight, with the strength in our hands, I'm afraid..."

Wang Zixing listened to the other party's words with his ears upright, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "Zhong Gong, that's why I came all the way from Dihua to discuss with you how to deal with it." !"

Wang Zhongyi was taken aback, but Wang Zixing began to sell his military reform plan eloquently: "Our terrain in Xinjiang is divided into north and south by the Tianshan Mountains. Southern Xinjiang is surrounded by Tianshan Mountains and Congling Mountains, so it is safe to rely on." , but the door to northern Xinjiang is wide open. Your Mongolia has no danger at all, and the only thing you can rely on is to use Mongolia's vast territory to deal with the Soviet Union and fight them in a mobile war!"

"...Northern Xinjiang, Mobei Mongolia, and the Central Asian region of the Soviet Union have historically been the battlefields where the grasslands fought mobile warfare! Now that we Han people rule this land, we must change our thinking in time and learn from the Huns and Turks in history. , Mongolia. Like them, establish a flexible and mobile cavalry corps, using the vast grasslands and deserts to deal with the Soviet Red Army to the end! Therefore, the army in our hands must be reformed, and we must use the light infantry that is not as good as the Soviet Red Army in terms of firepower and mobility. , into light cavalry and mountain infantry."

"...In addition, we have to learn to fight under the harsh natural conditions in winter, and this aspect is the strength of the Soviets! If we can't master the skills and equipment necessary for winter combat, and give the winter to the Soviet Union , I am afraid that there will be no way to defeat the Soviet invasion in the end.”

Wang Zhongyi listened carefully, his face gradually turned livid.In fact, he has also learned a lot about the inside story of the Soviet Red Army through the Trotskyite military adviser Rakovsky.It is precisely the cavalry who know that the Soviet Red Army is really powerful!The Cossack cavalry in history is the best in the world (Rakovsky thinks so).Similarly, winter combat is also the strength of the Soviet Union. In history, they used the cold winter to defeat Napoleon's expeditionary force!

"...Zhong Gong, if we want to gain a foothold in Xinjiang and Mobei, we must turn the vast desert grassland into a battlefield for our cavalry, and we must turn the cold winter in Mobei and Xinjiang into our Chinese friends. I know This is very difficult, but if we don’t start working hard now, when disaster strikes in the future, we won’t even have any special skills to deal with the Soviet Union!”

After Wang Zixing finished speaking, he sat up straight and only looked at Wang Zhongyi with piercing eyes.

Wang Zhongyi suddenly laughed deeply: "Brother Junhao, it seems that you have thought about it for a long time, right? I agreed to the joint matter. Military reform... To be honest, I have no idea how to reform our army, bro. Not at all. And with my stupid brain, I’m afraid I can’t figure out what to say. Why don’t I write a letter in my own hand, and you and Wen Yang will take it to Wuhan with you. Go and discuss it with Fu Wen, he has a lot of ideas , and the German military advisory group helped to come up with ideas. There should be... there will be a solution, right?"

Wang Zixing nodded slightly, seeming to agree.Maybe he flew to Xinjiang not to discuss military reforms with Wang Zhongyi, but to ask for his opinion so that he can negotiate with Luo Yaoguo?

Wang Zhongyi was silent for a while, then pointed to Lin Yurong, the commander of the artillery regiment, and smiled at Wang Zijian: "This Lin Yurong is not a small idea. He is a junior of your Whampoa Military Academy, from the fourth-term artillery department. This time let him work with you." You go to see Luo Fuwen together."

……

During this period of time, Luo Yaoguo did not have an easy time.

To be honest, he asked for it himself!If you don't enjoy the comfortable and peaceful life, you have to tinker with some military reforms.Now who in the Kuomintang can preside over this matter?Of course, it is Chiang Kai-shek in name, but the military thinking in this master's mind, I'm afraid it hasn't even reached World War I, has it?Let alone a future World War II?People don't have this string at all!This burden had to be picked up by Luo Yaoguo alone, and then split into three pieces by himself, and he was extremely busy all day long.

Although he sometimes complains in his heart, he still works with great enthusiasm.Right now, he can be regarded as awake and in charge of the world, lying drunk on the beauties' knees, uh, and there are four beauties lying side by side... How can he live such a beautiful life without paying a price?

Of course, Chiang Kai-shek and Xu Chongzhi didn't just leave everything to Luo Yaoguo.The two of them are very concerned about the reform of the training and promotion system of military cadres, and the reason behind this can be understood with their buttocks.The first item of this reform is the establishment of two ranks of general and marshal.When Chiang Kai-shek, Xu Chongzhi, and Luo Yaoguo combined, they first named each a marshal!In order to look fair and just, the old man Sa of the navy was also named a commander, one of the four marshals.Then a few more generals were appointed, Luo Yiqun, Liang Hongkai, Cheng Qian, Tan Yankai, Xu Ji, Zhu Peide, Li Liejun, and Deng Yanda were all given to the generals!

I appointed myself and my relatives and friends as officials, and then reformed the training and promotion system for officers of the National Revolutionary Army.To put it bluntly, this reform is the final completion of the process of "dewarlordization" of the National Revolutionary Army.The current National Revolutionary Army's financial and logistical supply management is already quite strict. If a scientific and rigorous system for the training and promotion of military officers is formulated, the era of warlords may really be gone forever.The means by which civilian governments around the world control the national army is actually finance and personnel.

The training and promotion system for military officers is naturally modeled on Germany and Japan.The training of officers should start with the development of officers' qualities. In addition to the already opened juvenile military academy affiliated to the Central Military Academy, there are plans to open six local army primary schools in Guangzhou, Chengdu, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Kaifeng, and Kunming.It specially recruits teenagers who have reached the age of December, and provides free secondary education and basic military training, the development of military officers, and ideological education on the Three People's Principles and patriotism.The schooling period of Army Primary School is five years. After graduation, students will be in the army for half a year, and then apply for the Central Military Academy or Naval Academy.
