I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

"Father!" Jiang Weiguo immediately shook his three-inch tongue, "I believe you must be very clear about the importance of reserve forces and reserve forces. Three million people are indeed a lot, but first, this military training project It was done step by step, and it was not planned to be completed overnight or within a year or so. After all, we started a war with the Japanese, and the war must be long and protracted.

According to the plan, in terms of time, the six provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian, Henan and Anhui will start immediately, and the four provinces of Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou will take the second place, and will start a year later; in terms of focus, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou will take the first place, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong will take the first place. Fujian is the second, to put it bluntly, Henan, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi and Guizhou are to carefully build large forces, while Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong and Fujian are only temporarily formed, and will directly participate in the first stage of operations when the time comes, and the Henan, Anhui and Anhui troops will participate in the battle after training slowly. In the second phase of combat, the Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guizhou troops must also slowly train well before participating in the third phase of combat.

In the Sino-Japanese war, the first stage is inevitably the enemy attacking and defending, the enemy advancing and the enemy retreating, the second stage is a see-saw competition, competition and consumption, entering a stalemate and confrontation, and the third stage is our strategic counter-offensive.

The "three-step" plan of the national army reserve force and the reserve force is based on the macroscopic development of the war and prescribes the right medicine; second, 300 million people are indeed a lot, but the militia is not considered a regular army. They are half civilians and half soldiers. Normal farming and labor while receiving military training, hoes from Monday to Friday, and training with guns on Saturdays and Sundays, so the government does not need to raise them like a regular army. Of course, subsidies are still required, such as every militia Three yuan of salary is paid every month to encourage, so the government must pay extra money, but it is not that huge, and these 300 million people are not all formed at once, 100 million at the beginning, 100 million in the middle, In the later period, another 100 million!"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at it and thought: "Wei'er, let's not talk about funds and equipment for the formation of so many reserve troops and reserve troops. What about personnel? Who will train those militiamen who have just put down their hoes?"

Jiang Weiguo said with a smile: "Father, didn't you set up a 'Lushan Officer Training Corps' before? I think this approach is very good, and it can also be used for the project of establishing a reserve army and a reserve army.

Forming a militia of 100 million requires a lot of instructors. The instructors will be recruited from the regular army of the national army to serve as grassroots officers. They can also be used by disabled soldiers who have lost their hands and feet in previous battles. The effectiveness of the party-state can also solve the problem of their living income after retiring from the army. As an instructor, they can get a salary of 30 to 100 yuan a month. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?Fifty militiamen and two instructors. According to this ratio, 400 million militiamen will need 300 instructors. Could it be that the national army can't even draw tens of thousands of officers or disabled veterans?Father, for example, if there is a county, a thousand strong men are drawn to form the county's militia, and this militia needs forty instructors, the government will send forty instructors to the county, live there, and even , The salary of the instructors can be borne by the county itself, anyway, there are not many, can't a county afford to support dozens of people?Responsible for the training of the militia. When war breaks out, the thousand militiamen who have received certain training will be disbanded. Three or [-] people will be added to this division, and two or [-] people will be added to that brigade. In addition, the forty instructors in that county also have experience in military training. They can either stay in the local area to train the next batch of militiamen, or they can be transferred to the rear provinces to participate in the military training of the second or third echelon, forming a benign cycle!"

Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly.

"Of course!" Jiang Weiguo added, "In addition, a special agency is needed to supervise and investigate this project!"

After much thought, Chiang Kai-shek replied: "Okay, let's try it first, and if the effect is good, we will carry out large-scale expansion.

As for this monitoring agency..." He looked at Jiang Weiguo.

Jiang Weiguo was immediately interested, and it was indeed time for him to form a secret service agency.

"Father, leave it to me!" Jiang Weiguo volunteered confidently and confidently, "The establishment of the reserve army and reserve army of the national army is the most important thing related to the success or failure of the country's war of resistance and the survival of the nation. No one will be allowed to spoil this party-state event!"

Chiang Kai-shek looked at Jiang Weiguo with a very strange look, but did not speak.

Jiang Weiguo was a little stunned, because Chiang Kai-shek, who had always been "obedient and obedient" to him, showed such a strange look for the first time.

Decades later, according to the published "Chiang Kai-shek's Diary", the truth was known to the outside world.

Chiang Kai-shek had high hopes for his two sons, Jing Tianwei, Jingwen Weiwu, Jiang Jingguo in politics, Jiang Weiguo in the army, one engaged in politics and the other engaged in military affairs, perfect combination and complement each other, and later inherited the regime and military power in Chiang Kai-shek's hands respectively.

According to Chiang Kai-shek's vision, Chiang Ching-kuo would be the leader of the political arena in the future, and Jiang Weiguo would be the head of the army in the future. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek would strongly support Jiang Weiguo's military affairs, but Chiang Kai-shek was worried if Jiang Weiguo wanted to set up a spy agency.

Because of this development, Jiang Weiguo has hundreds of thousands of troops in his left hand and 10,000+ agents in his right hand. Even if his brother Jiang Jingguo becomes the head of state, he can be easily taken down by Jiang Weiguo.

Chiang Kai-shek only wanted Jiang Weiguo to be a pure soldier, and he didn't want him to mix with the secret service.

A general with military power still obeys the politicians with power in his hands, but a general with military power and agents in his hands has undergone a qualitative change. Soldiers do not engage in assassinations, but agents can engage in assassinations and conspiracies. .

China is different from the U.S. In the U.S., military power can only be obtained when there is political power, while in China, political power can be seized when there is military power.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't want Jiang Weiguo to "overstep" his duties as a soldier. As a father, he would never want to see his two sons fighting each other.

Li Shimin killed his elder brother Li Jiancheng and replaced him as emperor.

Chiang Kai-shek didn't want to see Jiang Weiguo become Li Shimin, Jiang Jingguo become Li Jiancheng, and he himself became Li Yuan.

Chiang Kai-shek hopes that he is Cao Cao, Jiang Jingguo is Cao Pi, and Jiang Weiguo is Cao Zhang.

But Chiang Kai-shek changed his mind and thought again, if Jiang Weiguo is really better than Jiang Jingguo in everything, why not let Jiang Weiguo be his sole heir?There is no need for me to cling to Jiang Jingguo, the "eldest son of the emperor" to become the "crown prince". Although "abandoning the elders and establishing the young" has always been the source of the royal family's troubles, it is not without merit.

However, Chiang Kai-shek found that Jiang Weiguo was indeed well-versed in military affairs, but he never thought that Jiang Weiguo had a political mind, at least he had not discovered that Jiang Weiguo had a talent for administrative management.

If Jiang Jingguo is good at administration and is suitable to be the leader of the country, and Jiang Weiguo is good at military affairs and secret agents, but he has no ability to engage in administrative management, then Jiang Weiguo has the ability and ambition to rebel against his brother, but he has no Ability to govern the country well, after he replaced his brother, wouldn't it be a disaster for the country?

In the room, Jiang Weiguo looked puzzled at Chiang Kai-shek who was in deep thought. He had a simple mind, how could he know that Chiang Kai-shek had thought so much and thought so far in just a few minutes.

Section 072 Maritime Statistics Bureau

Chiang Kai-shek felt difficult.

The issue of heirs has always been the most troublesome thing for the emperors of all dynasties.

If you are not careful, you will either create a heir to the faint king who will bring disaster to the country and the people and ruin your foundation, or you will create a tragedy of the royal family who fights each other and kills each other.

If only one heir is cultivated, if something happens, the only seedling is gone, the great cause will have no successors; but if multiple heirs are cultivated, it is tantamount to planting the root of civil strife that will cause "nine sons to seize the heir" in the future.

Chiang Kai-shek has also repeatedly thought about the problems of Chiang Ching-kuo and Chiang Wei-guo. In his opinion, there are nothing more than the following four situations:

First, Jiang Jingguo is outstanding, and then he will inherit the great rule. Jiang Weiguo is also excellent, but he cannot threaten his brother. This is the best ending;

Second, Jiang Weiguo is outstanding, and then he will inherit the Datong. Jiang Jingguo is also excellent, but he can't threaten his younger brother. This ending is not bad;

Third, Jiang Jingguo is mediocre, and Jiang Weiguo is also mediocre. Both of them are not good enough, and neither can inherit the great rule. Although this ending is not very good, it disappoints Chiang Kai-shek. As for swords and swords;

Fourth, Chiang Ching-kuo is outstanding, and Jiang Weiguo is outstanding. Both sides are capable and ambitious, threatening each other and plotting against each other. This is the ending that Chiang Kai-shek fears most.

After not speaking for 10 minutes, Chiang Kai-shek sighed softly and nodded to Jiang Weiguo: "Okay, I will leave it to you!"

The reason why Chiang Kai-shek agreed in the end is due to three reasons. The first is that if Jiang Weiguo is stronger than Chiang Ching-kuo in everything, then he will directly determine that Jiang Weiguo is the heir, and there is no need to support Jiang Jingguo; Still in the Soviet Union, whether he can return to China alive is a problem. If Chiang Ching-kuo dies in the Soviet Union, and Jiang Weiguo does not have a strong all-round power, then Chiang Kai-shek will not be able to pass on power to his only son, Jiang Weiguo. To put it bluntly , Jiang Weiguo is Chiang Ching-kuo's "spare tire"; third, Chiang Kai-shek considered that if Jiang Weiguo had an independent spy force in his hands, then he could use the "Party Affairs Investigation Office (Central Command)" and "Lixingshe (Military Command)" All were handed over to Jiang Jingguo, so as to counteract and offset Jiang Weiguo's underground forces and eliminate threats.

Jiang Weiguo, who was happily going out, did not expect his father to think so far and foresight, he was just excited: "Haha! I am going to establish my own secret service agency!"

With the support of Chiang Kai-shek, the establishment of the reserve army and the affairs of the reserve army began to unfold in an orderly manner. The Military Service Department of the Military and Political Department was expanded into the Military Service Department, and the director was Lieutenant General Cheng Zerun (Cheng Zerun was a confidant of He Yingqin, known as the "Four King Kongs" of the He Yingqin faction. "One), the deputy director is Major General Zhu Wei (Zhu Wei originally belonged to the Guangxi faction, but he has joined the central faction, and he is very familiar with the Guangxi militia system. After becoming the deputy director of the Military Service Administration, he will naturally be able to use his expertise) .

Jiang Weiguo is definitely not a chief official in this huge project. He still only does two things as before, one is to provide "important guidance", and the other is to pay for "financial sponsorship", so this matter keeps him very busy. But not particularly busy, he devoted more energy to forming his secret service.

There is no need to say much about the importance of the secret service or the intelligence department. Jiang Weiguo had this kind of plan at the beginning, because he found that "many important things are not handled by people who are worthy of reassurance." Feeling concerned about gain and loss, just like obsessive-compulsive disorder, can't be completely assured of others, and lacks an "invisible power" that can secretly monitor the people who do things.

Jiang Weiguo knew that his idea was very immoral. Logically, as a leader, when employing people, he should "do not doubt people, and employ people without suspicion", but what is "suspect"?Is a person's reliability written on his face?In history, so many "loyal party-state backbones" only revealed the true colors of "communist spies" that outsiders can't believe after taking off their masks; in addition, people's hearts are not only unpredictable, but also changeable. Tomorrow you may become a "treacherous minister". Therefore, "suspects don't use it" is actually not feasible, and "suspects don't use it" also has great risks. Who knows if the person you use will be double-faced or even betray you.

Jiang Weiguo "lacks an eye to peep in the dark, an ear to eavesdrop in the dark, and a hand to manipulate in the dark." Therefore, he must establish a secret service agency that belongs to him and is loyal to him.

It's just that this matter was really put into action, but the tiger gnawed at the hedgehog and couldn't say anything.

Jiang Weiguo owns money, but people, Jiang Weiguo does not. Of course, Jiang Weiguo can use the "Shangfang Sword" given by Chiang Kai-shek to go to the military command or the Central Command to dig people, but he doesn't want to dig people, because the people who come here must be "unclean", and the secret service agencies need "Pure blood" is the same as the army, but the requirements are higher, and the consequences of mixing sand in the secret service far exceed that of the army.

For this matter, Jiang Weiguo was extremely troubled.

Preparations until November 11, with the approval of Chiang Kai-shek and Jiang Baili, Jiang Weiguo officially put up a brand of a new organization inside and outside the overseas department: [National Government Overseas Bureau of Investigation and Statistics] (referred to as "Maritime Bureau", "Maritime Bureau") .

The purpose of the establishment of the Maritime Statistics Bureau is to serve the establishment of the reserve army and the reserve army for the national army. This department is independent from the Military Service Administration of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs. The district conducts supervision and investigation to prevent all kinds of illegal and fraudulent incidents in the process of forming the reserve army and the reserve army, so as to ensure the smooth completion of this important national defense project.

There is no doubt that the "business scope" of the Maritime Statistics Bureau will not be limited to military service inspections in a short time.

Before hanging up the signboard of "Sea Bureau", Jiang Weiguo called Chen Ming and Sun Jian, and threw out a check: "Give me a job!"

The reaction of the two was the same as that of Sun Tao and Weng Yong: "Do we need to recruit people? There are so many troops!"

Jiang Weiguo explained: "First, you recruit people in the name of 'serving the army and serving the country', but in fact you are not recruiting for the army; second, the focus is on recruiting from universities, such as Nanjing University, Zhejiang University, Wuhan University, Peking University, and Tsinghua University. , Yanjing University (Yanjing University), Nankai University, etc., recruit college students, the higher the education the better, the weaker the body, it doesn’t matter, anyway, it’s not about letting them really serve as soldiers; third, try to keep a low profile for me when doing this, don’t Make publicity, don't make a big splash; fourth, overseas students are better.

have you understood? "

The two nodded: "Understood!" The two saluted solemnly, and then left to carry out the order.

"Damn it!" Jiang Weiguo was very depressed, "It will cost me a lot of money again! I need money for everything except panting and farting! Money is really evil!" He then sent a telegram to Cheng Tianfang, the ambassador to Germany, please Cheng Tianfang contacted Himmler, the head of the German Gestapo, hired 300 secret service instructors from the Gestapo, and purchased a large number of equipment and instruments used in the underground world.

Jiang Weiguo did this because he hoped to establish a "pure blood" intelligence agency that belonged to him and was loyal to him. Therefore, the most primitive and basic backbone personnel must have nothing to do with domestic intelligence agencies as much as possible to prevent the Maritime Statistics Bureau from Doped with "impurities".

Just when Jiang Weiguo was troubled by the problem of not having enough brother Kong Fang, his overseas financial resources finally began to send him money.

After Jiang Weiguo finished his overseas trip, he has been spending money like water when he returned to China. There are too many places where he needs to spend money like water. The increasingly dry wallet makes him a headache. Fortunately, the few overseas financial resources he opened up finally have some preliminary income. .

The Federation of Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia headed by Mr. Tan Kah Kee remitted US$200 million to Jiang Weiguo in the middle of this month, and the Federation of Overseas Chinese in Europe also remitted US$50 to Jiang Weiguo at the same time (in the three major overseas Chinese groups, relatively speaking , the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia are the richest, the overseas Chinese in the Americas have the greatest international influence, and the strength and influence of the overseas Chinese in Europe are relatively weak).

In order to prove the "cleanness" of the finances, Jiang Weiguo specially asked the overseas Chinese organizations in Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America to send more than a dozen accountants to enter the overseas and internal supervision to ensure that every money in and out of the account is transparent.

Jiang Weiguo has a clear conscience, and he is not afraid of the shadow, because he can't use the hard-earned money of overseas Chinese to help the motherland in the war of resistance.

On the afternoon of October 10th, the American Overseas Chinese Federation headed by Situ Gong also sent 19 million US dollars to Jiang Weiguo, but it was not a remittance, but a delivery.

Situ Gong was not only sincere and patriotic, but also generous. In addition to sending banknotes to Jiang Weiguo, he also sent a large number of weapons, and even sent a large group of young overseas Chinese eager to join the national army and serve the motherland.

Situ Gong told Jiang Weiguo in the telegram, "A small number of these young overseas Chinese have served in the US military, and the rest are loyal and passionate men. They will never hold you back when they join your army."

After learning about it, Jiang Weiguo couldn't help rushing to Shanghai immediately.

As soon as he arrived in Shanghai, Jiang Weiguo was taken aback because he found that Shanghai today seemed different from the past. At the corner of a street, he saw a funeral procession slowly marching. There were thousands of people. Dressed in filial piety and looking heavy, the whole street was submerged in the overwhelming white cloth wreaths, accompanied by solemn and sad mourning.

"Who passed away?" Jiang Weiguo was secretly surprised, "It's such a grand occasion, there are so many people seeing him off? Which big man?" After a few minutes, he knew who had passed away, because he saw the mighty A huge banner was displayed in the funeral procession: Deep condolences to Mr. Lu Xun.

"It turns out that Mr. Lu Xun passed away!" Jiang Weiguo was surprised at first, and then sighed endlessly. After all, a great master in the world of Chinese literature and thought has passed away today.

Jiang Weiguo then ordered Zhu Peifeng and Yao Jinhe who were with him to buy some wreaths and took out [-] yuan to go to the Hongqiao National Cemetery where Mr. Lu Xun was about to be buried to express his condolences.

While lamenting the departure of Mr. Lu Xun, Jiang Weiguo quickened his pace to Wusongkou Wharf.

By the pier, an ocean-going cargo ship flying the Stars and Stripes has already docked. Thousands of passengers got off the ship, but only 80 or [-] people went ashore and left straight away. The remaining thousand people gathered at the pier, obviously waiting All the people are very young, and they all wear American clothes that are slightly out of place with the "authentic Chinese" around them. Jiang Weiguo knows that these people are waiting for him.

"So many people?" Jiang Weiguo was secretly surprised. He thought that Situ Gong would send at most a few hundred people, but he didn't expect thousands of people.

The few young men with high spirits in the lead immediately noticed Jiang Weiguo who was coming, and greeted him one after another: "Second Young Master?"

"Well! It's me!" Jiang Weiguo greeted these young people with a smile.

"My name is Liang Changsheng!" One of the oldest youths hurriedly shook hands with Jiang Weiguo, and then introduced his companions, "Pan Feng, Xu Lei, Qu Yang, Yu Yue, Yang Ning, Cheng Yuan.

According to Master Situ's instructions, we are escorting this batch of American weapons back to China, and we are all eager to join the national army and serve the motherland, and I hope you will accept it, Second Master!"

"Good! Good! Welcome! Welcome!" Jiang Weiguo repeatedly praised, "Where's the arms?" He was most interested in arms.

"On the boat, Second Young Master, please follow me!" Liang Changsheng hurriedly led the way.

The cabin is full, and it seems that they are all "normal and legal things" such as light industrial machinery and equipment exported to China from the United States, as well as cigarettes, coffee, alcohol, cosmetics, and medicines. Jiang Weiguo even saw hundreds of boxes with very original designs. However, after these things were removed, the "abnormal and illegal things" at the bottom of the cabin were immediately exposed. Before the hundreds of large wooden boxes were neatly stacked, Jiang Weiguo had already heard about them. The familiar smell of the grease used to maintain weapons.

"Mr. Situ really has great supernatural powers and boundless mana!" Jiang Weiguo exclaimed in amazement.

In fact, getting a merchant ship belonging to North American Chinese merchants to "carry some private goods" in the normal way of cross-border commerce and trade is a trivial matter for Mr. Situ.

Section 073 Daily (5)

"200 Thompson M1921 submachine guns, 30 Browning Bar1918 light machine guns, 10 M1917 Browning heavy machine guns, 10 submachine gun bullets, 50 machine gun bullets, 1500 MKII grenades, and 3000 gas masks !” Liang Changsheng introduced, “They are all pure American products!” He looked at Jiang Weiguo, “Mr. Situ knows that the national army does not lack rifles, but heavy weapons. It’s hard to get, so I got these submachine guns, machine guns, grenades, and gas masks!” At the same time, he took out a check and handed it to Jiang Weiguo, “US$100 million from Citibank!”

Jiang Weiguo stared at the munitions in the cabin and the check in his hand with glowing eyes. He really wanted to laugh, but that would look too lacking in grace and grace. , although it cannot be said to be a timely gift, it is also a solid icing on the cake.

"When you go back, remember to send a telegram to Mr. Situ!" Jiang Weiguo told Zhu Peifeng and Yao Jinhe beside him, "Thank you very much, old man!"

Seeing Jiang Weiguo's happy smile, Liang Changsheng immediately hit the iron: "Second son...Although we are overseas Chinese, we all know that we are the descendants of Yan and Huang, the sons and daughters of China, so when the motherland is about to face national crisis, We are very eager to become a member of the national army, go to battle to kill the enemy, and serve the motherland, this... I wonder if the second son can accept us..."

As the saying goes, "Cannibals have soft mouths and short hands", Jiang Weiguo waved his hands happily: "Of course it's no problem! How many people do you have?"
