Back to the Republic of China as a commander

Since so many places need financial support, then conflicts arise, who is the main and who is the auxiliary?

Bai Chongxi's eight-division plan should be said to have some truth, and it was not something Bai Chongxi came up with behind closed doors: "The current strategic position of our army is very special. On the one hand, we have won the strategic rear of Guangxi, and to the west is Yunnan. To the east is Guangdong. Let’s look at Guangdong first. The current governor of Guangdong is Long Jiguang. He is a native of Yunnan. It is very difficult for him as an overseer to sit firmly. As long as the revolutionary Sun Wen raises his arms, the people's army in the province will expel Long Jiguang, so the east of Guangxi is very safe; In this war, the Yunnan army even sent troops to Sichuan, captured Chongqing, and expelled the revolutionary Xiong Kewu. However, according to the latest information from the Beijing Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Cai E of Yunnan has agreed to resign from Yunnan. The position of the governor has left for Beijing, so for a long time, nothing will happen to the west of Guangxi; judging from this, although Guangxi is the strategic rear of our army, it does not need to be guarded by heavy troops. My suggestion is to put two An army of about two reorganized divisions plus local security forces should be enough to stabilize the situation. On the other hand, the situation in our core area of ​​Xiangxi is more complicated, with enemies on three sides, Li Yuanhong in Hubei, Tang Xiangming in Hunan, and Liu Xianshi in Guizhou All of them may become our enemies. According to the news from the three local military intelligence departments, except for Li Yuanhong, most of these three are coveted by the fact that we have two commercial lands in Hongjiang and Lixian, especially Tang Xiangming. As the governor of Hunan, his annual tax revenue is only more than 3000 million, which is not as much wealth as ours in western Hunan. I just asked Ye Weng, and our business taxes in Changde and Hongjiang next year will be equal to this figure. So I can affirm that no matter who will be the governor of Hunan, it is impossible to allow us to occupy such a tax source, unless the governor lets us sit. Therefore, I mean stationed six field divisions in western Hunan , so that a high level of alert can be maintained in three directions at the same time."

After listening to Bai Chongxi's speech, Wang Zhenyu stood up with his hands behind his back and looked at the military map. He shook his head and said, "Jiansheng, your report is still discounted. You are too modest and cautious. If we really place six A division, don't talk about being on guard, it's more than enough to go out and beat people! How many soldiers does he have in Tangming Township, and how many soldiers can he have in Liu Shixian's hands, so even if Fatty Li has more soldiers, his position in Hubei is better than ours. The location is even more sensitive, how many troops can he send out in the thoroughfare of nine provinces?"

Bai Chongxi hesitated for a moment: "What do you mean, Commander?"

Wang Zhenyu was already very tired last night, so he didn't want to continue to make rounds: "Old Yang, you all remember that eight divisions are definitely going to be established. Our National Socialist Party's army will definitely not only have eight divisions in the future, so the eight One division can only lay the foundation. But we must also see that economic construction is the top priority, so there is no need to fill up eight divisions. First, spending money is still a trivial matter. We recruit a large number of labor forces to the army. Who will build the railway, who will build the factory? Who will develop the economy? So there is no need to discuss the plan to form eight divisions. It is approved, but it does not need to be configured according to the standard. It’s enough, and the number of soldiers in each division should be controlled at 8000. As for the defense issue, once the railway is repaired, the army’s mobilization will not be a problem. What do you think?”

Bai Chongxi calculated, wow, it's not even 60.00%, well, I seem to have no other choice but to agree, so all the members of the Military Commission present agreed.

Wang Zhenyu made a gesture to Wang Zhenbang: "Zhenbang, please read this personnel arrangement and see if you have any comments. I'll drink some tea..."

Chapter 161 National Socialist Party ([-])

The Tiger Youth Army of the National Socialist Party of China, this famous name with a tendency to terrorism, will soon be on the stage of Chinese history. .

Originally, according to Wang Zhenyu's meaning, since it is an army led by the party, it is essentially the SS, and it can be called the SS directly.But as soon as it was mentioned, everyone felt that it was not good. This name is too old-fashioned, and the youth army is different. It looks angry, so our Marshal Wang backed down. . .

As soon as they heard that the list of personnel was going to be announced, all the generals immediately sat upright and turned their attention to the folder in Wang Zhenbang's hand. Wang Zhenbang, who was about to read out the order, was a little nervous.

"Comrade Yang Wangui is the Chief of the General Staff of the Tiger Youth Army, Comrade Wan Yaohuang is the Director of the Training Department of the Tiger Youth Army, Comrade Ma Xicheng is the Director of the Armament Department of the Tiger Youth Army, and Comrade Song Haomin is the Director of the Armed Mobilization Department of the Tiger Youth Army. Comrade Jian is appointed as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Tiger Youth Army, and Yu Zuobai is the commander of the military police of the Tiger Youth Army (strictly speaking, it belongs to the internal defense force, because there is no constitution). "

This appointment is generally nothing too much. In fact, whether it is Song Haomin or He Jian, especially Yu Zuobai, at best, they are division cadres, but their radiating area has exceeded the scope of a division.Everyone can only express envy for this, especially He Jian's work, no one is interested in taking over.

"Appoint Xu Yuanquan as the commander of the First Army of the Tiger Youth Army, under the jurisdiction of the First Division, Fifth Division and Sixth Division;

Comrade Zhao Dongsheng was appointed as the commander and deputy commander of the first division of the Tiger Youth Army;

Comrade Tao Zhiyue was appointed as the division commander and chief of staff of the Fifth Division of the Tiger Youth Army;

Comrade Li Hongkui was appointed as the commander of the Sixth Division of the Tiger Youth Army;

Appoint Liu Xing as the commander of the second army of the Tiger Youth Army, under the jurisdiction of the second, fourth and eighth divisions;

Comrade Dai Yue was appointed as the division commander and deputy commander of the second division of the Tiger Youth Army;

Comrade Liao Lei was appointed as the division commander and chief of staff of the Fourth Division of the Tiger Youth Army;

Comrade Zhou Zhengming was appointed as the commander of the Eighth Division of the Tiger Youth Army;

Comrade Li Zongren was appointed as the commander of the third army of the Tiger Youth Army, under the jurisdiction of the third division and the seventh division;

Comrade Chen Yuxin was appointed as the commander of the third division of the Tiger Youth Army;

Comrade Bai Chongxi was appointed as the division commander and chief of staff of the Seventh Division of the Tiger Youth Army. "

The appointment of the division commander still did not exceed everyone's expectations, but the establishment of three military-level units was very surprising, because the commander-in-chief hadn't heard even the slightest word of mouth beforehand.The most regrettable thing about the Tiger Youth Army is that the military rank system has been abolished, and salaries and subsidies will be linked to their positions in the future.

As far as the origins of the adjustment of teachers and cadres are concerned, of the eight teachers, six are in Hunan, two are in Guangxi, and none are in other provinces.The army commanders are Guangxi, Hunan, and Hubei. There is no Wang Zhenyu here who can impose geographical restrictions, but among the officers with sufficient qualifications, Hunan is the most. Army 49 standard second battalion.It is estimated that in five or six years, teachers and cadres will be divided equally among Guangxi, Hunan, and Hubei provinces. The root cause is also here.

"The above-mentioned comrades need to work hard and continue to forge ahead for the cause of revolution. Another batch of reserve officer promotion lists are announced:

Appoint Comrade Zhang Xuguang as chief of staff of the 101st Division of the Tiger Youth Army and head of the [-]st Infantry Regiment;

Appointed Comrade Tang Hairong as chief of staff of the second division of the Tiger Youth Army and head of the 201st Infantry Regiment;

Comrade Li Pinxian was appointed as the chief of staff of the third division of the Tiger Youth Army and the head of the 301st infantry regiment;

Comrade Liu Xuyi was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Fourth Division of the Tiger Youth Army and the head of the 401st Infantry Regiment;

Appointed Comrade Cai Juxian as Chief of Staff of the Fifth Division of the Tiger Youth Army and head of the 501st Infantry Regiment;

Appointed Comrade Zhu Cihan as Chief of Staff of the Sixth Division of the Tiger Youth Army and head of the 601st Infantry Regiment;

Appointed Comrade Liu Zhenhuan as chief of staff of the 701th Division of the Tiger Youth Army and head of the [-]st Infantry Regiment;

Comrade Chen Quzhen was appointed as the Chief of Staff of the Eighth Division of the Tiger Youth Army and the head of the 801 Infantry Regiment. "

In fact, on the list of regimental cadres, Wang Zhenyu has noticed the increase of non-Hunan cadres. For example, in addition to the list, there are Xia Wei, Ye Qi, Tao Jun, and Hubei natives as the head of the regiment. More: Hu Zongduo, Yan Daogang, He Chengjun, Deng Yulin, Fang Benren.Some of them were defeated in the war and then joined their own side, and some were fellows from Hubei introduced and recommended by Xu Yuanquan and Wan Yaohuang.

The emergence of this kind of situation is inevitable for the development of any power. You can't create a big scene just by relying on your fellow countrymen. Instead of group cadres in one area, all these cadres were scattered and appointed in a planned way.For example, in Bai Chongxi's [-]th Division, except for Comrade Liu Zhenhuan, all other commanders are not from Guangxi, so when it comes to assigning combat missions, our division commander Bai still has to speak official Chinese honestly, don't try to use Guangxi dialect Send subordinates.

At the same time, the promotion of regiment cadres this time is also very useful. Some are based on military merits, and some are based on seniority. There are also airborne cadres like Zhu Cihan and Chen Quzhen.The way to let the chief of staff of the division also serve as the head of the main regiment is also to prevent the division commander from being too powerful and the army becoming a warlord.The system that only allows the establishment of political commissars and party representatives at the battalion and company levels is also to avoid the possibility of hindering the transformation from the party army to the National Defense Force through the party representative system once the party takes power in the future.At this point, Wang Zhenyu would rather lose everything than allow the bureaucracy to override the entire nation through the army as a cornerstone.To use Wang Zhenyu's vulgar words, there is no reason for you to take bribes. You take care of young mistresses, and you become naked officials. Then let the common people spit on Lao Tzu's body or grave. Then I am not wronged. Who will I turn to Justify it.In case China in the future cannot achieve bloodless social improvement through ballots, I must also nationalize the army to reduce the cost of the people overthrowing the reactionary government. I don’t care if the immoral practice of flooding the sky after death will be done by others. You know, anyway, he still has a little shame, he doesn't play.

"The following is the list of members of the attendant office of the supervisory office:

Huang Shaohong, Director of the Attendant Department, and Wang Zhenbang, Deputy Director;

Wang Zhenbang (concurrently) Director of the First Office (Secretary Section), Wang Chenhao, Director of the Second Office (Adjutant Office), Wang Huaishi, Director of the Third Office (Communications), Yan Daogang, Director of the Fourth Office (Political Section), He Chengjun, Director of the Fifth Office (Military Section).Wang Hu is the captain of the guard team"

Strictly speaking, the attendant's office is designated as a deputy teacher unit, so the deputy director and the directors of each department are naturally official cadres.It should be said that with the increasing power and status of Wang Zhenyu, the attendant office has been upgraded from the initial information sending and receiving department to a huge management organization, scientific name: small cabinet.This became especially evident with the establishment of the Political Section of the Fourth Room and the Military Section of the Fifth Room.

"The reform plan of military educational institutions and the appointment and dismissal of personnel are as follows: the existing Xiangxi Army Officer Academy was renamed the Senior High School Affiliated to Army University, and the Army University began preparations today, and it was scheduled to officially start enrollment in May of the third year of the Republic of China (1914) and start school in August. The supervisor personally serves as the principal of the Army University, which consists of the Ministry of Education, the Department of Instructors and the Department of Political Affairs. Comrade Wan Yaohuang is the head of education, Xu Yuanquan is the director of instructors, and Chen Shao is the director of the Political Department. The semester is three years. There are six departments under it: Infantry Department of Cavalry, Department of Intelligence, Department of Politics, Department of Artillery, Department of Surveying and Mapping. (According to Wang Zhenyu’s idea, the Department of Navy and Air Force will be established in the future, and a little further, the department will be upgraded to a college...)”

"The following reads the new standards for the equipment and organization of each unit:

Standard infantry squad for individual soldiers, one squad leader, two deputy squad leaders, three privates, four privates, a total of ten people;

Standard infantry squad equipment: eight Minyuan-style rifles (made in Hanyang), one light machine gun, one grenadier, six to eight grenades for individual soldiers, and one engineer shovel or one pickaxe.

"

Xu Yuanquan and Yang Wangui looked at each other, and smiled at Ma Xicheng: "Although soldiers don't need to be replenished, there is no shortage of equipment. Counting the consumption during training, our armament department is quite busy."

Ma Xicheng did not answer the conversation as usual, but just nodded to show respect and acquiescence.

Li Zongren was very excited and said to Wan Yaohuang who was sitting next to him: "If such a configuration can really be realized, as long as we train our soldiers well, it will be a big loss for a division of Beiyang to beat our division."

Hearing this, Wang Zhenyu said, "It's not enough just to train the soldiers well. We still need to implement the matter of setting up political cadres in this battalion company. This Chen Shao, you have to connect with Lao Yang. Don't look down on you soldiers. This political ideology allows soldiers to know why they are fighting and who they are fighting for. It is much more reliable than relying on twice as much foreign money to boost morale. Well, having said so much, the key lies in the implementation. The meeting ends. . .”
