Rebirth of the National Marshal

Not to mention that there has never been such a large organization in history, even some foreign military powers do not have such an organization. Take the German Army's 3st Division for example. It can be said to be the largest one in the world, with just over people.

Originally, everyone thought that the principal would definitely reject this adaptation plan and ask them to re-adapt it. Unexpectedly, the principal actually approved the plan. This was really surprising. Everyone couldn't figure out what was going on in the principal's mind.

They couldn't figure out what the principal was thinking, but Chiang Bai-ri had already figured out what the principal was thinking. As long as you dare to report it, I will approve it. Anyway, there is no good way now. Your people will have to be squeezed into the organization of these six infantry divisions. It's no problem if you want to recruit troops. No matter how many troops you want, I will only give you this little military pay. Besides, you only have so many positions there. It's probably impossible to recruit more powerful officers.

In fact, many warlords within the government did not expect that the principal would approve this plan. Of course, they also felt the principal's helplessness. At the same time, they also believed that the situation in the country was about to change. If it were not for the Japanese army's invasion, it would be hard to say who would be in power now. They had all seen the combat effectiveness of the Security Corps, which had defeated the most elite 11th Division of the Japanese devils.

This is just a security regiment, not their entire team. If they were allowed to bring an infantry division according to this organization, all the troops in the Yangtze River Delta combined would not be able to withstand their attack, especially since their artillery is so powerful. Coupled with the assistance of the air force, even the Soviets were captured by them in the hundreds of thousands. Just imagine, if he really rebelled, how could these domestic troops stop his advance!

However, fortunately, now is a time of national crisis, and Mao Yuanshan has not done anything excessive. He just does whatever the central government asks him to do. This is still a relatively good performance. If he were like other warlords, always trying to wrestle with the central government, then the central government would really be in tears!

An important means for the central government to control local warlords is to provide them with military pay. Just like the Northwest Army in the capital, although the Northwest Army had 10 people and was independent of the central government, they had no economic source and all their military pay depended on the central government. If they disobeyed the central government's orders, their military pay would be cut immediately.

If soldiers have no money, no food, why would they fight for you? Risking my life on the battlefield, am I just thinking about having a better life? If you can't give them a good life, they certainly won't follow you. If there is no military pay, 10 troops may disappear overnight.

However, this invincible method is useful against the warlords in the country, but it is useless against Huimao Yuanshan. Although you pay him military pay every month, the military support you give him is absolutely a drop in the bucket, and he cannot even fight a large-scale battle.

At the beginning, many people in the central government were arrogant and wanted to interfere in the affairs of the security corps. They also wanted to make a fuss by giving them military equipment, such as weapons and equipment. But later they found that they didn't need anything from you at all. Whether it was military equipment or weapons and equipment, they all had their own, and they were much better than yours. Now it has developed to the point where they want to sell weapons to you. It is you who are begging them, not them begging you.

The war in the Yangtze River Delta region is getting more and more intense. Principal Jiang has now used up all the stockpiled ammunition. The places in the country that can manufacture bullets and grenades are also in full swing, but the daily consumption on the battlefield is still an astronomical figure. If China can manufacture the same amount of weapons as it consumes, the Japanese will suffer more losses than in history. We may be able to defeat them with our own strength. Unfortunately, China's current industry is too weak to manufacture so many weapons and ammunition. Therefore, the main source of these weapons and ammunition is imported from foreign countries.

If it is peacetime, there should be no problem with the import of weapons and ammunition. After all, those foreign capitalists also need to make money. They can make more money by shipping these weapons and ammunition to China than by selling them domestically.

Unfortunately, it is a war time now, and the Japanese devils have already sent diplomatic notes to various governments, asking them not to sell weapons to China. Although there are still some smugglers who want to make money with high profits, they are minor problems after all.

The staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs conducted a survey and found that 20% of the weapons and ammunition they are currently using were captured from the Japanese, 20% were produced in their factories, most of the 10% or so came from foreign smugglers, and about 20% came from Mao Yuanshan's Chahar local government.

We all know that this situation can happen. The industrial zone and production company there also have servers. Why not buy from them? And the quality is very good.

It was for this reason that Mao Yuanshan's arsenal had to be supported, so the reorganization plan was abandoned. There was no need to affect the overall situation because of such a small matter. If the Battle of Shanghai was affected by such a small matter, it would be a loss. Whoever made a fuss about this matter would be a sinner of the nation, and no one could bear this infamy.

However, Mao Yuanshan also had a temper. He rejected President Chiang's resolution to increase the supply of gasoline, because his soldiers on the front line had already told him that there was absolutely enough gasoline for the military. If the president wanted to increase it again, it would definitely be used for civilian use. If you use this fuel to fight the Japanese, I'll take care of it. But if you use it for your daily enjoyment, I'm sorry, there isn't that much.

In addition, Mao Yuanshan also wanted to send a signal to the central government: don’t think that I am a soft persimmon and you can do whatever you want. I didn’t say anything before because I didn’t want to get involved.

The various departments of the central government finally realized how a tough local government operates.
