Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

Chapter 331 Establishment of the 1st Military Region

For several days, the Nanshan army did not launch an attack on the dwarf locusts, and Ito Mifumi and others did not doubt it, thinking that the Nanshan government had accepted their proposal for peace talks.

This made the top leaders of the Little Locust feel relieved. At the same time, Ito Mifumi ordered the Fujii Division to land in Qingzhou and rearrange Qingzhou's defense.

Not only did they retook Jiao County and Mo County, but they also built a defensive fortress in Qingzhou to prevent another attack from the Nanshan government.

Fang Guoxuan led the 5st, 16nd and rd divisions and arrived at Kaiyuan City, Heyuan Province on May .

Just as he had settled the troops, he received a telegram from Francis Xavier, asking him to prepare for the affairs of the First Military Region.

Based on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions, with the addition of the Nanchuan Division and new recruits drawn from various places, ten divisions were reorganized.

The appointment of the First Military Region has been made, with Fang Guoxuan as the commander of the military region. The deputy commander has not yet been appointed. Shao Yunsheng, chief of staff of the First Division, will be the chief of staff of the military region, and Yang Pingchang will be the political commissar of the military region.

The entire military region is divided into a guard regiment and logistics personnel from seven departments, including headquarters, politics, staff, logistics, ordnance, military training, and military law. There are approximately 10,000 people, most of whom are logistics personnel.

It has ten infantry divisions under its command, temporarily the Provisional 1st Division to the Provisional 10th Division.

After the army is completely reorganized, the word "temporary" will be removed from the number and it will be directly the 1st to the 10th divisions.

The commanders of the ten divisions were selected from the twelve regiment commanders. They were: Wang Bin, Kang Yueming, Pang Yuanxin, Gu Yifeng, Li Lin, Han Yue, Li Yunhu, Qin Xiangsheng, Hua Yihe, and Xie Jiangping.

As for the chief of staff, political commissars, and heads of departments of each division, they still have to be reported by Fang Guoxuan from the existing troops and wait for assessment and dispatch by the headquarters.

Because all personnel from each division have not yet arrived in Kaiyuan City, the ten divisions currently only have a framework and have not been fully filled.

Just as the First Military Region was being reorganized in full swing, on May 5, the locust negotiation representative Toyotomi Fumitori and his delegation arrived in Qiyuan.

After receiving Qi Yuan's telegram, Fang Jian didn't care and just said casually: "Let Zhang Wei contact the other party."

"We should take a tough stance and ask them to leave Singapore. I don't think they will agree. We should just ask them to pay some equipment, money, and supplies."

Anyway, Fang Jian knew what the other party was planning, so he just let them delay and gave the Nanshan Army time to reorganize.

Zhuang Jiwu discussed the negotiation with Fang Ji'an for a while, and then asked worriedly, "Chairman, I heard that you selected more than 500,000 people from the new army to enter Qiyuan? Isn't that too many?"

"Not many. After the First Military Region is established, I will let them swap guards with the Heyuan First War Zone, and then quickly establish the Second War Zone." Fang Jian stated his plan.

"As soon as the two war zones are established, the remaining six war zones will be quickly established to ensure the strong combat capability of our army."

Plans cannot keep up with changes. Francis Xavier originally wanted to slowly establish eight war zones from June to the end of this year.

But time waits for no one, and the Nanshan government had just occupied these places and had not yet formed effective rule. It was imperative to establish military regions to defend various places.

Seeing Zhuang Jiwu's embarrassed expression, Fang Jian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Jiwu, what happened?"

"Chairman, Mr. Zhan is planning to build roads in various places, but large-scale troop transportation still depends on railways. Do we need to use the railways in the country now?"

Speaking of railways, Fang Jian was also quite helpless. Since the Nanshan government began to unify the country, the trains leading to the interior have all been controlled by the governments of the north and the south and no longer pass through the interior.

As a result, the Nanshan government had railway tracks but no trains.

Fortunately, Nanshan Province had steel mills and processing plants. Fang Jian asked Zhang Yuanqing and Xi Dingde to build a batch of trains to temporarily transport supplies.

Because not many trains have been manufactured, train transportation has not yet been fully opened.

Fang Jian tapped his fingers on the table and nodded. "Okay, let them increase the production of trains, and use the existing trains first. Jiwu, this matter is your responsibility."

"Yes, Chairman." Zhuang Jiwu immediately went down to make arrangements.

The territory that needs to be managed is getting larger and larger, the more affairs need to be handled, and the more departments are needed.

The entire Nanshan government not only needs people who understand politics, but also a large number of professional talents in various industries, such as those responsible for railway dispatching and maintaining railway safety.

There are also forestry, commerce, water conservancy, agriculture, and a lot of other industries, which also require workers who are proficient in manufacturing, experts who are good at research and development, etc.

The road ahead is long and arduous, so we have to be cautious.

It is said that it is easy to conquer the world but difficult to keep it. To keep the world, we must not only develop agriculture and economy, but also pay attention to people's livelihood and develop science and technology.

Every single thing must be done with utmost care.

Qi Yuan, after receiving Fang Jian's telegram, Zhang Wei quickly sent someone to send a message to Xiaodwarf Locust, setting the meeting place in Anmi County.

The escort work was naturally done by the Nanshan Army, and the number of small locusts going to Anmi was limited to no more than three hundred.

After receiving Zhang Wei's telegram, Toyotomi Fumiyasu felt that there was nothing wrong.

"Mr. Toyotomi, I wish you all the best in this negotiation." Yamauchi Hiroo raised his glass and said with a smile.

Toyotomi Fuminori also raised his glass: "Thank you for the good words, division commander."

Toyotomi Fumitsugu came to Qingzhou, and today Yamauchi Hiroo and Fujii Masao hosted a banquet to entertain him.

Although Toyotomi Fuminori came from China and represented the negotiations with full authority, he was only a major general. Yamauchi Hiroo and Fujii Masao were both lieutenant generals, so they naturally did not need to please each other.

On the contrary, at the banquet, Toyotomi Fuminari did his best to curry favor with the two division commanders, making the banquet very harmonious.

This also made the two division commanders very satisfied with Toyotomi Fumitsugu's awareness of the current situation. When they raised their glasses, they inadvertently glanced at Kasahara Nobuyuki who was sitting at the last seat and shook their heads.

And Kasahara Nobuya sat there, drinking alone.

Asada Genzo was killed in the battle, the main force of Asada's division was destroyed, and only 8,000 people were left in his brigade, which made Kasahara Nobuyuki very depressed.

Unexpectedly, after Yamauchi Hiroo and Fujii Masao arrived in Qingzhou, they relied on his high military rank to transfer the Kasahara Brigade out of the city and asked them to guard the port, gradually marginalizing him.

This made Kasahara Nobuyuki even more aggrieved. He didn't expect that he had worked so hard to defend Qingzhou, but it was benefited by these two people.

As the wine flowed, Yamauchi Hiroo got a little drunk and started to act a little arrogant. He looked at Toyotomi Fumion and said, "Toyotomi-kun, do you want us to send out two divisions to attack the new country's army while the negotiations are going on?"

"That's right. If we take the enemy by surprise, we will definitely be able to achieve great success." Fujii Masao also echoed.

They had just arrived in Singapore from China and had not fought with the Nanshan Army, so naturally they were unaware of how powerful the Nanshan Army was.

Hearing this, Kasahara Nobuyuki, who was sitting at the end, couldn't help but sneer, thinking that these two people were arrogant fools.

If the Nanshan Army was really that easy to defeat, Qingzhou would not have lost Jiaoxian and Moxian, and the main force of the Asada Division would not have been destroyed so quickly.

Now the Nanshan Army still has seven divisions in Qiyuan, plus the ten divisions stationed on the border, they are not at an advantage.

Toyotomi Fumito was also frightened by what Yamauchi Hiroo said. He waved his hands and said, "No, Your Excellency the Division Commander, the negotiation is His Majesty's wish. Please don't let anything else happen."
