The Central Military Academy has set up ten branch schools for infantry, artillery, cavalry, supply, engineering, armor, aviation, military police, communications, and managers.The trainees are all active-duty soldiers with the rank of second-class soldier, enjoy free education, and receive military pay.After graduation, you can get the rank of second lieutenant!It's much more miserable than their seniors in the first four periods, so let's slowly get through the qualifications!It is also worth mentioning that the branch school of the Central Military Academy will recruit female students, which is also a symbol of women's liberation, right?

The Naval Academy was established on the site of the Whampoa Military Academy in Shimahara, Changzhou, Guangzhou, with a three-year schooling period.The trainees are also active-duty soldiers with the rank of private first class, enjoy free education, and receive military pay.The first military rank after graduation is the second lieutenant of the navy.The instructors are all former German Imperial Navy officers, and the management is extremely strict!However, this military academy has become a school for Chinese youths to apply for in the future. It claims to be more difficult than Central University!

On top of the Central Military Academy and the Naval Academy, there are two military institutions of higher learning, the Army University and the Naval University.After the reform of the training and promotion system for officers, if you want to be promoted to the rank of general, you must first study in these two military institutions of higher learning.Moreover, these two military universities only recruit outstanding graduates of the Army Officer Academy and the Naval Academy, and they must obtain a good unit evaluation during their service in the army before they are eligible to apply for the exam!It's about applying for the exam...not recommending!Officers who graduate from these two military universities will generally be assigned to staff positions at all levels. They will first become staff officers and then have the opportunity to become chief officers at all levels or enter units affiliated to the Military Commission.

The last thing to be regulated is the personnel promotion system. According to the latest regulations, the promotion of officers of the National Revolutionary Army will be divided into two parts: promotion based on seniority and promotion on the front line.Promotion based on seniority requires education and military service performance, while promotion in the front line is based on military merit, which is relatively flexible, but promotion in the front line only goes up to colonel.

Yan'an in northern Shaanxi, within the headquarters of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Wangjialing.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, the Kuomintang military reform this time seems to be nothing more than a reshuffle of power within them. After this reform, the National Revolutionary Army has been divided into three mainstream factions. The Guangdong faction headed by Xu Chongzhi; The Whampoa faction headed by Chiang Kai-shek; the mixed faction headed by the uncles and nephews of the Luo family, which means mixing part of the Cantonese and Whampoa factions. Other small factions such as the Guangxi, Dian, and Sichuan factions were either completely marginalized, or I joined these three factions and became one of them. The Kuomintang leftist faction seems to be the biggest loser of this military reform! A large number of middle and lower-level officers of the 21st Division were transferred to the reserve and changed to civil servants in various parts of Henan to be in charge of the so-called The land of peace has been reformed.”

"In the future, the officers of the Kuomintang army can only come out of the Whampoa Military Academy and the Naval Academy. In particular, the Whampoa Military Academy is basically monopolized by graduates from the six local army primary schools and the junior military academy affiliated to the Central Military Academy. After being admitted to the Central Military Academy, it is impossible to compete with those graduates who have been indoctrinated with militarism since they were young. I am afraid that they will not even have the opportunity to enter the Army University, and naturally they will not be able to enter the core of the future Kuomintang army..."

Gu Shunzhang, the head of the Special Section of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, is introducing the latest progress of the Kuomintang's military reform to Zhou Enlai with a smile on his face.During this period of time, the domestic situation in China suddenly calmed down. Except for the military reform of the Kuomintang, it seemed that there were no major events worthy of attention.At this time, Zhou Enlai just listened with a serious face, and did not express any opinions, as if he was thinking about something.

Gu Shunzhang continued to talk eloquently: "At present, those Kuomintang miscellaneous names who still maintain a certain strength are trying to protect themselves. For example, Feng Yuxiang, the commander-in-chief of the National Army with 10,000+ troops, now has a much better attitude towards our party. He The brethren of the KMT don’t want to be sent to the reserve by the Kuomintang rightists to sit on the bench. Liu Wenhui in Chuanbian is now actively making friends with Wu Yuzhang of our party, and it seems that he is also afraid of being annexed by the Kuomintang rightists. The imaginary Jin Army, Anhui Faction, Feng Faction and other warlord forces have now recognized their true colors and actively moved closer to our party. I am afraid that this result is something Chiang Kai-shek and Luo Yaoguo never dreamed of?"

Hearing this, Zhou Enlai suddenly raised his head and asked in a calm voice: "How many people are we in the National Revolutionary Army now? What positions are they in?"

Gu Shunzhang was slightly taken aback, frowned, as if he was thinking hard: "Our party was too weak in the early days of the Kuomintang Central Military Academy, and was busy preparing its own Northwest Military and Political Cadre Academy, so we didn't arrange comrades into it in time. However, in the fourth and fifth phases of Whampoa, this situation has changed, but..." Gu Shunzhang suddenly thought of something at this point, and his whole face turned livid in an instant.

Zhou Enlai glanced at Gu Shunzhang, who had come to his senses, and smiled wryly: "We arrange people to go to their interior, we can only follow the principle of planting a wide variety of crops, after all, no one knows whether they will be reused? Now the Kuomintang's military officer training And the promotion system is becoming more and more standardized and rigorous. It is becoming more and more difficult to arrange people into the National Revolutionary Army..."

The personnel of the National Revolutionary Army is about to be monopolized by the system of the Central Military Academy.In the future, the cadets of the Central Military Academy will mainly come from the seven Army Junior Military Academy.Because of his generous treatment and bright future, these juvenile military academies will definitely become the paradise that boys from impoverished families in southern China yearn for!But the problem is... these boys were only 12 years old before they were admitted to the Junior Military Academy!I haven't formed a correct outlook on life, values, and world outlook, and it is impossible to join the Communist Party or even the Youth League. At most, I am a Young Pioneers, right?Even if it was arranged for the captains of the Young Pioneers in the Central Soviet Area to go to the Kuomintang Army Primary School, they were lucky enough to pass the exam.However, after five years of Army Primary School, half a year of probation, two and a half years of Army Military Academy, and three years of Lu University, a total of 11 years of reactionary education.I'm afraid that good people have to teach it to be broken, right?

According to the current National Revolutionary Army officer training and promotion rules.After more than ten years, the core organs of the National Revolutionary Army, as well as the headquarters of each division and brigade, I am afraid that they will all be elites trained through a fixed program such as Lu Elementary School, Military Academy, and Army University!It is exactly the same as the current Japanese army and navy.

Chapter 0364 of the sprout of the military (three)

Baisha Town, Shaoguan, Guangdong.

A modern factory that seemed huge at the time was taking shape little by little in the open space next to this small Lingnan town.The name of this factory is "Sino-German Aircraft Manufacturing Factory". It is the product of cooperation between German companies such as BMW, Junkers, and Focke Wolf and the Armament Department of the Chinese Nationalist Government. Important cooperation projects stipulated.

This factory was expanded on the basis of the original Shaoguan Aircraft Factory imported from the Soviet Union. During the construction process, the Naval Aircraft Engineering Department of Mawei Shipping Bureau, which was originally under the jurisdiction of the Navy, was merged into it.

The biggest attraction of this aircraft factory is that it has an aircraft engine manufacturing branch with technology provided by BMW.It will be China's first access to the real core technology of the aviation industry!The aircraft engine factory's first product was the famous Pratt & Whitney's first engine, the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 Wasp engine.

"Minister Luo, the current development trend of aircraft engines in the world is divided into air-cooled and liquid-cooled. The air-cooled engine is called a star engine because the cylinder layout is a bit like a star. Our Shaoguan factory The Star-1 engine that has been successfully trial-produced is a copy of the Wasp engine of the Pratt & Whitney Company of the United States. It is the best air-cooled engine in the world. With this engine, China's aviation industry can be regarded as a real start! "

The person who was sitting in Luo Yaoguo's office with a big face and happily introduced the aircraft engine was Wang Zhu.This person is also a well-known pioneer of the aviation industry in Chinese history, and once served as the chief engineer of Boeing Company!He is the second chief engineer in Boeing's history.In addition, he is also the grandson-in-law of old man Sa in the navy. He was taken by old man Sa to study in the UK at the end of the Qing Dynasty. He first learned naval gun manufacturing, and later transferred to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to study aeronautical engineering with a few classmates.After returning to China, he has been working in the Naval Aircraft Engineering Department of Mawei Shipping Bureau, specializing in the manufacture of seaplanes for the Navy.At the beginning of the 16th year of the Republic of China, the Mawei Shipping Bureau was abolished, and he and all the staff of the Naval Aircraft Engineering Department were arranged to participate in the construction work at the Sino-German aircraft factory in Shaoguan.However, his current position is the director of the newly established Aviation Research Institute.

The Luo Yaoguo that Wang Zhu was talking about naturally knew that he was in the Air Force in his previous life.He had learned the history of aircraft development in the [-]th century in the military school classroom, and he had seen the name and photo of the person in front of him in the military school textbook.So at the moment he is still listening with a serious face, nodding frequently while listening, pretending to be a good student.

But his mind has long been flying to the matter of military reform.Aviation is definitely the biggest beneficiary of this military reform.Not only is the scale planned to expand tenfold, but there is also a dedicated aviation branch for personnel training.Although it is still part of the Central Army Officer Academy in name, it is actually a training institution for air force professionals that has begun to take shape.Not only to train pilots, but also to train ground crews and mechanics. The current principal is Rich Schoffen, and most of the instructors are from the former Luftwaffe.

"...This engine is a nine-cylinder air-cooled star-shaped design with a displacement of 22 liters, a bore diameter and a stroke of 5.75 inches, a length of 44.06 inches, a diameter of 51.38 inches, and a dry weight of 365 kilograms. Currently this Key components such as engine cylinders, superchargers, and carburetors still rely on imports, but Germany has agreed to help us implement further localization, and it is expected to achieve full domestic production within two years."

Wang Zhu paused for a while when he said this, adjusted his glasses, and glanced at the young man in front of him wearing the rank of marshal.Then he took a deep breath, took out a 1:5 general layout plan of the aircraft from the briefcase he brought with him, and spread it out on Luo Yaoguo's desk.

"This is?" Luo Yaoguo picked up the blueprint in front of him and looked at it carefully.

At this time, Wang Zhuwei's excited voice sounded again: "This is a destroyer jointly designed by our Aeronautical Research Institute and the chief engineer of the Sino-German company, Mr. Messerschmidt. The PW-9 destroyer is a blueprint, and it has been greatly improved in combination with the latest trends. The fuselage of this aircraft is supported by a steel pipe structure, and the aluminum plate is used as the skin. The main wing still uses a wooden skeleton and is covered with cloth. The skin is a typical semi-metal structure. This aircraft still adopts the most popular biplane layout at present, and the overall structure is compact and strong. In addition, this aircraft will also use engine fairings, new Fritz ailerons and cylindrical fixed lifters. There are two 7.62mm caliber aviation machine guns installed side by side in front of the driver's seat... The engine of this aircraft will use the domestic Star-1 450-horsepower air-cooled radial engine. It is expected that the maximum speed will be between 260 kilometers per hour and 300 kilometers per hour. kilometers, the maximum flight range is 350 kilometers, its climb rate is above 2800 feet per minute, and its practical ceiling is above 8000 meters. In addition, after modification, this aircraft can also be used as a light dive bomber. And we are developing this model at the same time The naval version of the fighter, the Aeronautical Research Institute and the Sino-German company hope to use the naval version of this aircraft to equip aircraft carriers purchased from the United States."

"Not bad……"

Luo Yaoguo nodded lightly, he couldn't stop praising, and his face seemed to be blooming with joy.But at this time, the real thought in his heart was slightly disappointed, because he knew that this aircraft could actually be designed better and more advanced.However, in the current era, the design of military aircraft in various countries has fallen into a very strange thinking, that is, they do not use the latest technology, but only use second-hand technology of civilian aircraft!In this era, the latest aviation technology is used in civilian aircraft!For example, the all-metal fuselage and the single-wing layout have been used in civilian aircraft for many years.However, the military aircraft of various countries are still using the biplane layout that was popular in the late World War I, and the fuselages are mostly semi-metal or even wooden... In this era, military aircraft are almost a generation behind civilian aircraft, which is almost four years .

"Director Wang, when will this aircraft be put into production? Also, do you have a design plan for the next generation of aircraft? I hope that the next generation of military aircraft, at least fighter jets, can use a single-wing layout. You must know the possibility of winning the Schneider competition right now. They are already monoplanes. And... the large civilian transport aircraft are also monoplanes. If a military bomber is developed on the basis of them, it might fly faster than a biplane fighter, right? "

After hearing a lot of questions from Luo Yaoguo, Wang Zhu was slightly taken aback. Although he also knew that the Minister of Armaments was a returnee who stayed in the United States like him, not a rustic warlord.However, he never thought that the opponent's aviation knowledge was so rich. It seemed that the Minister of Armaments was still an expert.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhu smiled and replied: "The army model of this aircraft will be put into production before June next year, and the navy and bomber models will also be put into production before the end of next year. In addition, there will be trainer and reconnaissance models. It will also be put into production before the end of next year. As for the research and development of the next generation of fighter jets, it has not yet started, but it will definitely be a monoplane. We and the Sino-German company plan to launch production of the more powerful engine developed by BMW. Then develop new fighter jets. In addition, we also plan to use the technology of Junkers G.31 to develop new transport aircraft and bombers.”

"Oh." Luo Yaoguo nodded slightly disappointed: "This plane hasn't been named yet...According to the regulations of the Ministry of Armaments, fighter jets are code-named F, big bombers are code-named B, and dive bombers are code-named A. The plane is the F-1 fighter jet, and the future dive bomber model will be called the A-1."

……

The night of October 16th in the [-]th year of the Republic of China.Luo Yaoguo's mansion by the East Lake was brightly lit at this time.A light banquet is the time for the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves.

If you want to say that Luo Yaoguo's house is just one word - big.In a large courtyard facing the lake, there are four Western-style buildings, one large, three small, and four, and there is still a lot of open space around to build new buildings.Apart from Luo Yaoguo, his wife, concubines and sons, there are dozens of maids and servants living here, these are the people who serve him!It's really corrupt!

Tonight's banquet was held in the dining room of the main building where Lu Xiaobei's mother and son lived.A table of delicious delicacies, the guests entertained were Wang Zixing, Gao Shaojie, and Lin Yurong who flew to Wuhan from Kulun, Mongolia, for thousands of miles.

Luo Yaoguo never imagined that this Lin Yurong would appear here now... It really doesn't look like a loyal communist fighter, no wonder it will fall into the sand in history!Well, loyal communist fighters don't run away when the leaders send for them.

The waiter in the restaurant is that little North Korean lolita Jung Young Hee.The little girl has grown up a bit now, and she wears a small jacket trimmed with white fox fur, which strangles her well-developed figure into an exquisite and embossed shape.A pair of big braids were combed on the head, dangling on the body.He was heating rice wine with a small red clay stove, and after a while, he pursed his mouth and looked at Luo Yaoguo, his pair of slender phoenix eyes were watery.

This master, he wanted to say something last year when he was not a grown-up...but now?Seems to have completely forgotten about it now!Every night, people are beating their hearts and waiting for him to touch the door.But he didn't come to talk anymore!Could it be that the fifth aunt's position has just been missed?Is this beautiful big house, beautiful car, beautiful clothes and beautiful pet big dog really not your own?

But the people at the table didn't have the heart to pay attention to the thoughts of her, a young girl corrupted by the bourgeois way of life. Right now they were discussing such big issues as anti-imperialism and anti-Soviet.

From Xinjiang to Mongolia and from Mongolia, Wang Zijian, who has been sullenly pretending to be iron-blooded, is so ridiculously happy at the moment, how can he look like an iron-blooded dictator?

"Teacher, the students came in a hurry this time, so please don't be offended by not being able to prepare a congratulatory gift for the teacher's appointment as commander-in-chief." Wang Zixing bowed his hands to Luo Yaoguo with a smile, as an apology.

Luo Yaoguo waved his hand indifferently: "It's fine if you can come. I don't dare to accept congratulatory gifts right now. The Overwatch Council is watching closely. I'm no better than you, the king of the Northwest. No one dares to control the hegemony."

Wang Zixing was stunned, looked at Luo Yaoguo's serious "clean and honest" appearance, and then looked at the luxurious and comfortable house in front of him.He said in his heart: "The corrupt officials in the Northwest who were shot by themselves will definitely be enraged if they see the life of this upright official in front of them. It seems that this democratic supervision really can't stop corruption, er, it must be a dictatorship!"

"Third brother, this time the eldest brother asked me to bring you a letter, just to ask you to help give some ideas for the military reform of the Youth Army and the Mongolian Front Army." He took out an envelope and handed it to Luo Yaoguo.

Luo Yaoguo also put down his cup, took the envelope with his hand, tore open the seal, took out the letter inside, and glanced at it hastily.It turned out that Wang Zhongyi felt that it would be difficult for his Mongolian front army to adapt to the future war with the Soviet Union, and hoped that he could give more help in strategy and weaponry.

"Teacher, Zhonggong and I think that our youth army and the Mongolian front army must develop according to local conditions, and develop a flexible and mobile light army according to the terrain of the northwest and Mongolia. We cannot take the heavy-duty path like your National Revolutionary Army."

Wang Zixing's words rang in Luo Yaoguo's ears at this moment, and he seemed to have already made up his mind from his tone.

Luo Yaoguo put down the raft in his hand, looked at Wang Zijian with a smile, and waited for his suggestion.

Seeing Luo Yaoguo's expression, Wang Zixing smiled again: "The student's thinking is that the combat area of ​​our youth army is mainly in Xinjiang. Among them, we should adopt the idea of ​​relying on the mountains for defense in southern Xinjiang. The fortress keeps the enemy out of the country. On the other hand, develop a part of the mountain infantry, and try to rely on the Tianshan Mountains to defend the southern border. For this reason, we need lighter and more professional mountain combat equipment. If... the Armament Department hopes to be able to do so if it is convenient now Help us."

"... fighting in the two large areas of northern Xinjiang and Mongolia, the cavalry seems to be the only arm that can be relied on. Our troops in Xinjiang and Mongolia are affected by logistics supplies, and it is difficult to equip enough heavy weapons to fight the Soviets. Firepower. So we can only rely on the vast terrain to fight mobile defensive warfare, use the vast grassland there to deal with the Soviets, and strive to find fighters in motion. It's just...we are all light infantry now, and these two legs are not as good as four legs after all. , so we want to convert light infantry into cavalry. So we also need the Armament Department to provide corresponding cavalry combat equipment, including cavalry rifles, cavalry guns, heavy machine guns for cavalry, etc.”

"...In addition, winter operations in Xinjiang and Mongolia are also very important. The Soviet Union has always been strong in this area, but we have no experience in this area, and we also lack the necessary equipment for winter operations. We also hope that the Ministry of Armaments can provide help."

"Is that all?" Seeing that Wang Zixing had finished speaking, Luo Yaoguo first asked with a smile, and then asked himself and answered: "It seems that you have ignored the new tactics that emerged in the Middle East Road War. I guess After the Soviets suffered from tanks in Zhalainor, they will also pay attention to the development of this aspect. When they come to the door in the future, I am afraid that there will be a certain number of tanks as a guide, right? Maybe it will be a big depth battle mode."

Speaking of this, Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly.The name of Tukhachevsky suddenly popped up in my heart. It seems that this person has not been eradicated by Stalin so far.It seems that Luo Yaoguo's plan of framing him has not succeeded for the time being.Perhaps Stalin's current prestige has been frustrated, and he dare not touch the top military officials?

At this time, Wang Zixing also nodded slowly: "How to deal with tanks... We really have no way to do it now. I'm afraid we still need the Armament Department of the Nationalist Government to help us provide equipment. It's just... what kind of equipment should we use to fight tanks?" What? It needs to be effective without being too heavy."

"Use anti-tank guns, anti-tank mines, and anti-tank grenades." Luo Yaoguo smiled and reported a series of light anti-tank weapons, but there was no rocket launcher.The anti-tank bazooka hasn't been invented yet, and Luo Yaoguo doesn't intend to prematurely produce it, so as not to encounter too much resistance in Hitler's blitzkrieg in the future.

"These anti-tank weapons are currently being organized by our armament department, and we will start equipping troops soon. At that time, you and the Mongolian front army will definitely have a share. But you still have to be careful when you use troops, and don't fight with others. Your cavalry is no match for other tanks. In addition... it is aviation, and air supremacy in future wars is very critical! Fortunately, our aircraft factory has a certain scale now, and the new The fighter jets and bombers have also begun to be designed. But you and Mongolia must prepare airfields and oil depots. Once there is a war with the Soviet Union, our air force will arrive in Xinjiang and Mongolia to participate in the war as soon as possible.”

After saying these words, Luo Yaoguo leaned back on the chair and looked at Lin Yurong who was sitting opposite him with a smile.I only saw this historical CCP military god, who is still a shy young man with delicate features, who is holding his hand quietly at this moment, frowning his eyebrows slightly, as if he has something on his mind.
