The army's training has been modernized and standardized, and combined with Zhang Hanqing's knowledge, the degree of progress of the army is quite amazing, and a series of structures have also been improved.

It is necessary to describe the origin of this group of consultants. Germany was defeated in World War I, and according to the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, it could only have an army of 100,000 people, and a large number of professional soldiers were forced to leave the army.

However, the Treaty of Versailles clearly stipulates that German citizens are not allowed to serve as military advisers in foreign armies, while the German military hopes that they will go abroad to serve as military advisers, so that these retired personnel can take advantage of the opportunity to serve in foreign armies and acquire the latest military knowledge and technology, so that the German army will not have a fault in military scholarship, and at the same time, it contains the deep hope that these personnel will continue to serve in the German army after returning to China in the future. Therefore, the German military secretly encouraged and supported these personnel to go abroad to serve as military advisers.

Zhang Zuolin's Northeast Provincial Autonomous Government was represented by Zhang Hanqing as early as 1918, and began to contact the German military. The reason why Germany chose Feng was because in World War I, Japan seized all German interests in Shandong, China, and therefore became angry, and had great enthusiasm for the Northeast Marshal (Zhang Hanqing, who did not seem to have a good relationship with Japan), and agreed in principle to send military advisers to Northeast China.

Initially, Zhang Hanqing's list of advisers included a group of prominent figures in World War I, such as von Mackensen and Ludendorff, but the German military thought that these names were too loud and easy to discover, so they politely refused.

The first batch of German military advisers to China were Colonel Max Bauer, Lieutenant Stuzner, and Second Lieutenant Holmer, thus opening the honeymoon journey of Sino-German military cooperation. Although he was not well known, Max Bauer served in the German General Staff and was greatly admired by the Chief of the General Staff, Ludendorff, for his outstanding military skills.

As a result, Sino-German military cooperation has gradually reached a high tide, and not only have the two sides signed the "Five-Year Military Industry Development Plan," but Germany has begun to help the autonomous government of the Northeast United Province to establish a military industry, and has provided military equipment to Zhang Zuolin's Feng army before the Feng military industry has been built.

In the process of reorganizing the army, Falkenhaus, who was then the first head of the German military advisory group, proposed the plan. Under the training of German military advisers, the goal of the divisions of the Feng Army was to become units that were not inferior to the army divisions of the Kwantung Army in terms of combat skills, numbers, and strength in the Far East.

That's a good thing. Zhang Zuoxiang and Wu Junsheng have become one of the troika of the Feng department, and their concurrently held position as division commander should always be moved, right? With the addition of the new 4 divisions, at least 6 lieutenant general division commanders will be freed up. For soldiers, there is nothing more exciting than a promotion and an increase in rank, especially for the brigade commanders of several mixed brigades, many of whom have the opportunity to be promoted.

However, for Zhang Hanqing, he was not only pleased with the expansion of the Feng army, but also inevitably a little disappointed, because in a high probability, he could only watch the position of division commander fall to other people's families. Originally, he also wanted to recommend several high-level leaders of the People's Party to compete for these positions, such as the powerful Ji Yiqiao, the silently dedicated Lin Wei... It is his responsibility to bring them to the fore as much as possible, and it is also an opportunity for the BJP to grow.

But he had no choice but to give up.

Because with the deepening of land reform in Northeast China, some of his policies inevitably clashed with many people. An important direction of land reform is to crack down on land annexation, which at least touches the cake of Wu Junsheng, Ma Longtan, Zhang Jinghui and others. Although Zhang Zuolin once said open-mindedly that there are many ways to make money, there is no need to call it true in the lumps, and the above-mentioned bigwigs also wisely decided to cooperate with the work of the young marshal, but after all, it is not in the way of people's money?

The fact that these few people are unable to stumble due to friendship does not mean that other people have no ideas. The phenomenon of land annexation in Northeast China is very serious, and it is inevitable that there will be some resistance to "renting" the land of vested interests to peasant households for planting. If Zhang Hanqing hadn't wisely used the method of "redemption" instead of "revolution" to carry out the tortuous process, his first step would not have worked.

Revolution has to be a gun...

Although Zhang Hanqing has a series of dazzling halos, such as the young marshal, the deputy chief of the general staff of the Fengjun Army, the general staff of the Parade Embassy, the former director of the Border Defense and Pacification Office, the commander-in-chief of the Middle East Road Road Protection Army, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the anti-bandit army, he knows that there is only one person who really has weight: the chairman of the Military Committee of the People's Party. Without him, he was backed up by the Guards Division and the 1st Division. Without these two, he was just a young marshal, respected, but not necessarily respected.

Therefore, he has a certain focus on these two troops, his two divisions are also self-contained, and the people he uses are also absolutely his own people, and even the organizational structure is different from the Fengjun General Headquarters: the Fengjun General Headquarters is one chief and eight divisions, and his troops are three headquarters system.

This is not a thing, but when his power has surpassed the elders of the Feng family, the voice of injustice begins to appear.

"Why do you want to meddle in the new division? Your power is no small! "It's a hostility he can feel. Also, the Northeast is such a big pool, and if his body is too large, it will inevitably squeeze others. From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Zuolin's treatment to him is high enough. Even Zhang Zuoxiang knows that unity and dedication are the way to get big together, and if he, the eldest son, doesn't understand this truth, he is too inappropriate as a son of man.

According to his proposal, except for the general staff of the three eastern provincial inspection and embassy offices, which is a part-time part-time job, the general staff of the provincial military supervision offices are all appointed by civilian officials, so Ding Chao, the former general staff of the Hei Provincial Military Supervision Bureau, has been transferred to the military and replaced by Zhai Wenxuan. This Zhai Wenxuan is the former governor of Hei Province who has served for the shortest time. Although his ability to be a provincial governor is limited, he is still quite competent as the chief of staff of the Overseer's Administration, after all, his previous position as the chief of police has some militarized colors---- of course, this is Zhang Hanqing's evaluation. After all, Zhai Wenxuan has been recommended by him, as a political "Bole", continuing to let him exert his residual heat in his new position can also play a role in "selling horse bones", isn't it?

Ding Chao will be promoted to division commander without accident. Zhang Hanqing reserved the position of the general staff for him not long ago, and since then he owes Zhang Hanqing a favor. Now that he has a better position, and there is no one of his own, then the appointment of Ding Chao will not be obvious, and he has enough qualifications. Moreover, in order to make Sun Liechen the position of the overseer of the Black Province, some important positions such as the General Staff and Secretary General of the Overseer still have to be nominated by him. His departure was good for both Zhang Hanqing and Sun Liechen;

Yu Zhen is also an old employee, and she once paved the way for Zhang Hanqing with a lot of eyes, so Zhang Zuolin will definitely consider taking care of it;

Wu Jun has served Zhang Zuolin for so long before and after he was promoted to the saddle, and he has deigned to be a division commander for a long time, and he will definitely be given a place after his promotion, so as to balance the feelings of his subordinates, I guess my father is embarrassed? So in any case, he will have a spot;

The last one should be given to Sun Liechen. As his father's hardcore assistant, in addition to the first division, his overseer is only left with the established border guards of Hei Province, and it is not good to be as bare-bones as Bao Guiqing.

Therefore, Zhang Hanqing did not fight for the four new editors who were basically set.

The current Feng system has formed a pattern with Zhang Zuolin as the mainstay, Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, and Zhang Zuoxiang as supplements, and Bao Guiqing as the name. The finances of the Northeast have reached their peak to support the manpower of the ten divisions, and at this initial stage, Zhang Hanqing will not do that kind of reckless military thing. So, it's hard to expand further.

You can't look too ugly when you eat, and you have to take care of your father's interests.

Administratively, his biggest position in the Northeast is only the General Senate. The personnel who control the provinces are all regarded as the outstanding talents of the three eastern provinces, but there is still a gap with Zhang Hanqing's way of employing people, because he is bent on letting the People's Party occupy a leading position. At the moment, it seems that this is very difficult to do.

Fortunately, land reform continued at his insistence. After the turmoil, Zhang Zuolin saw the huge role of land in maintaining stability, and he has made great efforts to support Zhang Hanqing, forcing the bigwigs to transform one after another along with a group of vested interests. In the case of mainly relying on Zhang Zuolin, there are no accidents in this regard.

It seems that it does not make much sense to continue to stay in the Northeast, and in this chaotic world, there are still large areas to develop. The Red Army still has to go on a 25,000-mile long march, and relying on this corner of the northeast is never a good strategy. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Hanqing believes that his horizons need to be broadened a little, and if he can be willing and let go---- Northeast will be left to his father.

Of course, letting go does not mean abandoning the existing achievements, but he just wants to put his energy into the wider world. Every step in the future needs the strong support of the Northeast, after all, looking at the whole country, there are few places that can play a role in the economy and industry of the Northeast. Before further movements are confirmed, he needs to properly arrange the personnel left behind. It is necessary to be able to maintain the current momentum of development, but also to firmly control it in their own hands. In this era, the transportation is inconvenient, the information is not smooth, and if you are taken to the nest after you leave, it will be tragic.

There is an even more important one, and it is not surprising that the Northeast will eventually face the Japanese, which is determined by the aggressive nature of the Japanese government and has been proven by history. If he bet the treasure here, once there is a big change, he will lose all his money, although he has always thought that with his own presence, such an extreme situation will not occur. However, to take precautions, we also need to start anew and echo each other.

Inadvertently, Zhang Hanqing's vision has looked into the distance...
