Chapter 161: Academy
This matter still has to come down to the third young master of their family, Chu Shaojun, who is especially able to toss.
Since half a year ago, this young man with a dream stepped on the ship to the military academy arranged for him by Tian Inspector without hesitation, and he started the career of the military academy that he had thought about many times.
And in this military academy, Chu Shaojun also felt what it means to live without privileges.
Speaking of this kind of life, it is necessary to first talk about the nature of this military school.
On the surface, it is the most famous and highest-ranking officer training school in the north under the direct control and control of the new government, but in fact, today, when many warlords are fighting each other, this school, which was still a hall of words in the early days of its establishment, has long been divided into groups of three or four forces, and the struggle for power and profit between these forces has reached a white-hot stage.
In order to gain a crucial advantage in this struggle for power, the warlords, who belonged to different factions, did everything they could to expand their faction's influence within the school.
Can't compete for a spot in the hands of the Overseers?
Then start with those civilians who have been admitted by their own ability.
When these students with a purpose entered the school, they didn't think about how to study, but instead formed gangs and intrigues, creating a miasma in the atmosphere of the military academy, which should be serious and serious.
However, this group of warlords who only know about political struggles are too underestimated by these students who can be admitted to the Baoding Military Academy.
Yes, maybe some of them just want to gild themselves and give them a guarantee of quick promotion.
However, more people have dreams and dreams of worrying about the country and the people, and want to save this weak country from the perspective of managing the army and training the army.
When they come to study in military academies, they really want to learn their real skills in a down-to-earth manner.
Especially those graduates who are close to graduation and only hope to be able to do a little bit for the army with what they have learned, they just want to go to the team that really needs them to polish themselves, instead of taking those high salaries to do some leftover jobs that they don't even look down on.
So, when they were overwhelmed and irritated by the waves of people who came to visit with a purpose, a stirring young man who had a wide range of friends and, in their words, was simply lovely, solved their problems.
The Shandong overseers had the intention of doing a practical thing for the local people, and they wanted to carry out a large-scale anti-bandit campaign within the province.
And because Shandong is a province with a large population, under the premise of sufficient soldiers, it is in a state of full strength.
But in contrast to this, there are some poor number of junior officers.
Even the post of company commander who can have independent command authority in some small tasks is vacant for nearly half of the positions, not to mention the platoon-level basic officers in charge of reconnaissance, training, and patrol in some small towns.
In short, the Shandong Overseer had a large number of dignitaries under his command.
If the fact that someone has a gun and a great deal of freedom is not attractive enough, then the experience of fighting a small army of bandits with good equipment and a certain size is enough to make this group of people tempted.
This is no small fight between the two warlords.
If it is not premised on tearing the face, it is generally a peaceful armed takeover.
The prefect leaves office, and the victorious faction takes over.
This is a real battle of wits and courage, a real battlefield drill with real swords and guns.
And the weight of this enemy is just right for new graduates like them, who are inexperienced in combat, they can use bandits who are not so big in ability to polish what they have learned in the military academy, so that they can become more experienced and familiar with the way the army operates.
Therefore, after Shao Jun seemed to be just casually bragging and saying that, many fresh graduates with high morale and high ability were moved.
"Chu Shaojun, come! Come and talk to my brother!"
"Tell us what the origin of this Tian Overseer is, won't we automatically belong to the Beiyang faction after we pass?"
"Yes, yes, I'm still biased towards the Southern Revolutionary Army. ”
"I heard that they are the rebels who uphold the will of President Sun Yat-sen and really want to liberate the people from fire and water. ”
In addition, the phenomenon of confrontation between the north and the south is becoming more and more serious, and Zhang Zuolin in the northeast is becoming more and more domineering in his control of the northern government. ”
"Don't let the north-south confront each other at that time, and the Shandong overseers will also be involved, right?"
"He's not a pro-Zhang faction!"
Regarding the worries of the seniors in the upper two realms of his school, Chu Shaomin very aptly showed his image of a young master who didn't know anything.
However, through his stumbling introduction to the military branches in Shandong, many people still found that this is a very interesting feature among the warlords of Shandong.
That is the rootedness of the native soldiers, and the mobility of the upper commanders.
What is the rootedness of a soldier?
That is the army controlled by the Shandong warlords, a total of three brigades, namely the 20th Brigade, the 5th Brigade, and the elite garrison brigade directly under the Shandong Overseer.
And the unanimous statement of these three brigades to the outside world is that Shandong has only one integrated division.
However, those who have really seen the establishment of the Shandong army, or their establishment methods, have a considerable understanding of the chicken thieves and insidious overseers of Shandong.
Why?
Next to the army, the establishment of a division is about 10,000-12,000 soldiers.
Some petty warlords, in order to look good, claim to be a division commander, but in fact the number of soldiers available in their hands is only five or six thousand.
But the conscription in Shandong happened to be the opposite.
The establishment of this division is about 25,000-30,000.
So why is this happening?
Then we have to talk about the fluidity of the superstructure of the Shandong Overseers.
Just because they are close to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, if there is any turmoil in the government in the north, it must be brought up by the overseers of Shandong.
What is the manifestation of the victory of this struggle?
That's the amount of territory and army they control.
Now, I have the right to speak, so this Shandong overseer wants my cronies to be the overseer, and tomorrow I will be given yin by your partner, and that will be done, and I will give up the position of Shandong overseer.
Within a few years of the new government, eight overseers in Shandong had been replaced.
It is no wonder that these overseers who were replaced put down their bodies as soon as they came to the boundary of Shandong, desperately trying to win over the local upper-class figures, and desperately seeking benefits for themselves.
