"Brother Lin, be careful on the road. But I will never fight without permission, let alone leave Jianghua and Yongming without permission. Wei Ze assured when he sent Lin Fengxiang back to Daozhou. Originally, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, meant to let Wei Ze not hang around outside, and hurry back to join the main force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It's just that where to go back this time, Xiao Chaogui didn't have a special request. Wei Ze also came back when he returned to Daozhou, and Wei Ze led the team back to Jianghua and Yongming.

Seeing the surge in the number of Wei Ze's troops, Lin Fengxiang also knew that it was impossible to let Wei Ze return to Daozhou immediately. Just by rectifying one thing of his subordinates, it is impossible for Wei Ze to walk away. Therefore, Lin Fengxiang finally decided to go back to Daozhou to report the news first, and if there was an order to return to Daozhou, then it would be good to send someone to sue Wei Ze. Besides, Lin Fengxiang himself also led the troops, and he felt uneasy about leaving the army for too long.

As soon as Lin Fengxiang left, Wei Ze held a meeting. The workload at this time is too great, and the size of the troops has suddenly doubled, and anyone feels a headache. However, Wei Ze's troops had to hold a meeting to summarize after the battle of Guanyang, because the march was very hard, and Wei Ze and they had no time to organize a meeting to summarize the battle process and lessons in detail. These two things are entangled, and every officer above the two horses has a headache.

"How are we going to arrange these new brothers?" Weeser asked at the meeting in front of a group of officers who looked languishing. The soldiers can go back to rest after the exercise, and the officers have to start military affairs after the exercise. The officers were all on foot along the way, and everyone was exhausted.

So there was silence in the conference room, and no one even dared to speak. Seeing that the brothers were a little dazed, and some were even yawning with their mouths open, Wei Ze slapped the table with a slap. The stimulus was strong enough that the brothers immediately became energetic.

Wei Zeteng stood up and shouted angrily: "What are you all like! As the saying goes, a tiger will never fall when it dies! That is to say, even if the tiger is dead, the majesty is still there. You are all brigade commanders and division commanders, where do you have the majesty of a tiger like this, how can you be like a dead dog! ”

Being scolded by Wei Ze like this, these people also had a little spirit, yawning and lying on the table, and they all straightened up.

"No more meetings! Give me a cold shower! Weser shouted angrily.

A kind of high-ranking officers led the team to the well under the leadership of Wei Ze, and one by one they stripped naked, and a few buckets of cold water went down, and they immediately became energetic. After drying their bodies, the officers, who had finally recovered their spirits, sat back in their seats.

"How do you arrange for the new brother?" Weeser asked.

Ke Gongyu took the lead and said: "We teach the brigade only brothers who have fought in battle, but these newcomers can't. ”

This is a normal requirement, but what Wei Ze didn't expect was that except for Lin Asheng from the logistics unit, the other troops all said that they didn't want new recruits for the time being. All commanders said that the troops at hand were now struggling to train. Suddenly bringing in a group of new recruits will only hold back.

The troops had such a realization so quickly, and Wei Ze was a little happy. In an agrarian society, strength is the strength of the population. Therefore, the Taiping Army and other troops are only short of people now, and the old brothers in Guangxi can fight and can fight, and all the troops are only afraid of few people.

But in industrial societies, armies have to be trained before they can go to war. This is just like the "demographic dividend" between India and China, the absolute number of young people entering the working age in India every year has indeed started in China, but a considerable number of them are illiterate, or only know how to write their own names. The vast majority of China's working-age youths have at least received a junior high school education, and the vast majority of these Chinese youths do not work after graduating from junior high school, but also receive an education such as a technical school after graduating from junior high school. Most of the young people who have entered the working age have received a high school or even university education, and there is a huge gap between China and India in terms of labor force output.

This is just like Weeser's troops, although it is only a sketch now, and a lot of training is not in place. However, compared with the Taiping army and even the Qing army, what exists is the difference between "whether there is targeted education or not". Placed in the troops of Wei Ze's troops, it became that everyone did not care much about the number of troops in their hands, but first considered the question of whether the soldiers in the troops had received education.

Everyone's eyes were on Wei Changrong, who was in charge of combat training, and the chief instructor of the whole army was training his troops, so naturally it was impossible for him to escape so lightly.

Wei Changrong understood the meaning of the brothers' eyes, and he shouted, "With so many soldiers, training is not a trivial matter. Everyone's troops have to be pumped out! You want me to be in charge of 2,000 people by myself, don't even think about it! ”

Ke Gongyu is naturally not afraid, and the teaching brigade originally had the task of training. All kinds of physical training, basic military training, and brand-new tactical training are the work of the teaching brigade, and it is the norm for its personnel to enter and leave tomorrow. Hu Chenghe commanded the whole army, but this was a handful of arrests, how could it be the same. Lin Asheng of the logistics unit has no special requirements for the number of people, more work, less work.

Only the commander of the 3rd Division, Nguyen Hey Ho, was more nervous, and now there are four divisions in Wei Ze's troops, the fourth division is considered a logistics unit, the first division is a teaching brigade, and the second division is under the command of Hu Chenghe. Compared with these people, only the Third Division is a real combat unit, and the division commander is the unit that commands a division. If the other three can have their own abacus, then the third division can only listen to orders. Therefore, Ruan Xihao looked at the "seniors" quite nervously, and he didn't know how his division would be treated.

"In this case, let's dismantle the staff headquarters first, and each division will establish its own staff headquarters. Our troops set up a general staff. Wei Ze said slowly.

"What?!" Zhang Yingchen originally did not participate in the discussion, and he was a chief of staff who did not directly command the troops, so there was no need for discussion. Now that he listened to Wei Ze's words, he actually wanted to use the staff to move the knife first, and it was not Zhang Yingchen's turn to continue to be silent.

"Prime Minister! How many people are there in our staff? Every time you fight, you have to die of busyness, but there are not enough people. What should we do if you dismantle it? Zhang Yingchen completely lost the fatigue he had when he first started the meeting, his eyes were wide at this time, he sat up completely straight, and then he couldn't express his feelings, so he simply stood up and protested.

"I'm going to adjust the staff, and now this small staff is commanding more than a thousand people! Just keep expanding the army, but it won't work. So the General Staff should be expanded! Weeser said. Back to this era, especially in the battle with the Qing army in Guanyang, Wei Ze's mentality has also changed a lot. Originally, he still couldn't avoid that kind of favor for sports warfare, so he also had an indescribable uncomfortable feeling about the organizational structure of the troops.

After Guanyang easily defeated the Qing army, Wei Ze also had to face reality. The troops that they had at hand a few months ago were peasants, but in fact they did not have any special combat effectiveness. Don't look at the complete set of command and combat system copied by Wei Ze, everyone has learned to shoot in a queue on the battlefield, and can walk in front of the Qing army and shoot first and then fight hand-to-hand. That premise is the combat ability of the scum and scum of the Qing army. Weeser's troops, who had repeatedly defeated the Qing army, fought against the British lobsters under the same conditions, and Weeser believed that he had been defeated ten times in ten battles.

In this case, Weeser simply adopted the two more classic organizational systems of this era. One is naturally the tactic of lining up to shoot, and the other is the German General Staff system. Don't look at Germany as a stereotyped impression, but in the process of German reunification, the Prussian king, Bismarck, and Moltke Sr. Chief of Staff, the three "troikas" that add up to more than 200 years old are actually extremely trendy. Whether it was the General Staff Headquarters, the railway troop transport, and the application of various new weapons and new tactics, all three of them were quite radical.

Weeser's greatest knowledge of the General Staff Headquarters is the constant change in the position of military commanders in the army. Soldiers start with junior officers, and if they excel, they are selected to work in the corresponding staff department. If you do well in the work of the General Staff, you will continue to be assigned to the front-line troops to command the battle after promotion. After several such back-and-forth transfers between front-line commanders and staff personnel. The better ones will be selected to study at military schools and become instructors.

In the German army, the entry of officers into primary, intermediate, and senior military academies for further study is only a precursor to future promotion, and the real sign of key training is to be appointed to military academies at all levels as teachers and instructors.

Germany's system with the General Staff as the core is a system of real continuous learning, first being a student and then a gentleman. After the German military reform, the proportion of aristocratic officers plummeted, and the number of officers from ordinary people skyrocketed. This is already a great miracle in a European country where there are kings.

Of course, it is impossible for Wei Ze to tell these stories to the generals, since Wei Ze's troops themselves are also grass-based, the troops have no combat experience, and their ability to solve problems is low, which is an inevitable disadvantage. However, there is also one place where such a situation can be fully exploited, that is, the troops do not have stubborn traditions, and there is no resistance from various conservative forces. Weeser can introduce the most advanced things into the army, so that the army can gradually get used to this system as it grows.

Lining up to shoot is the first step that Wei Ze completes when the combat effectiveness of the troops is very weak, then the next step is the General Staff system.

The other commanders are indispensable, but the current chief of staff, Zhang Yingchen, is quite resistant. You can refuse to recruit with little training experience, and you can also refuse to spread out the strength at hand. In the plan of the General Staff, Zhang Yingchen's authority seems to be expanded, but in fact it may not be able to see it this way.

Zhang Yingchen summed it up quickly, and he said very unhappily: "Prime Minister, that is to say, each division has its own staff department, and the General Staff Department has now become a training department?" ”

"Now the General Staff is responsible for training staff officers for each unit, and the newcomer is not as talented as Ying Chen, how can it be immediately useful." Wei Ze also had to appease the depressed chief of staff Zhang Yingchen.

"Then this staff department is equivalent to merging with the combat training department?" Zhang Yingchen said.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Changrong was not unhappy, "Hey! Chief of Staff Zhang, I don't think it's necessarily a merger, and even if it is, it's a merger, aren't you happy! ”

Wei Changrong has already said very politely, there is only one reconnaissance unit directly under the General Staff, but the position of the chief of staff is basically the same as Wei Changrong, and Zhang Yingchen is actually quite entangled in this matter. This time, Wei Ze wanted to establish a general staff, and Zhang Yingchen seemed to be quite reluctant to lower his status.

When Wei Ze saw that this contradiction was about to explode, he slammed the table and shouted, "You all shut up for me!" I now tell you that after the establishment of the General Staff, I will be the Chief of the General Staff. Ying Chen, you bring me troops now!. Now four new divisions have been built, each with two brigades. Ying Chen, you will be my teacher! ”

In the current army, Wei Ze is the boss of his word. He really didn't expect the old staff to dare to rise up and resist the order, so Wei Ze had a tough attitude. Zhang Yingchen didn't dare to refute anymore, and obediently obeyed the order.
