Chapter 235: Director of Military Training
Before he could answer, the young marshal, who had been more than a round younger than him, smiled and said, "But it's not too late to come, it's good to come." I believe in Uncle Cai's vision very much, and I also know Brother Jin Cheng at first sight. He had mentioned this matter in the telegram before, and now he finally saw the real person---- Brother Jincheng is younger than I imagined---- but young is good, young and aggressive, and the two of us young people will make a name for themselves together! ”
Ji Yiqiao was just moved by Zhang Hanqing's words, but he was amused by the latter sentence, I don't know what it's like to be said to be young by someone younger than him? That's it! However, Cai Ye said that his calm and moderate personality made him quickly put himself in the right position: "After many years of staggering, he has achieved nothing, and he was falsely praised by General Songpo, and he is ashamed." ”
Zhang Hanqing got straight to the point: "Brother Jincheng doesn't need to be modest, your name is my father, and I admire it very much." You may know a little bit about my situation, and my father would like to pull you over, but I still want you to help me. But brother, your reputation is too loud, I'm afraid that the Guards Brigade Temple will not be able to keep it---- I know that my brother was a major general and brigade commander a few years ago, and it is said that it is condescending to let you be the brigade commander, but I am afraid that it will make others unhappy, so I sit on this crater. ”
Zhang Hanqing was so relieved, but Ji Yiqiao was ashamed, of course he knew the hotness of this position, and hurriedly humbled it: "Young marshal, don't say that, in fact, General Songpa also called me by telegram before coming." He said that what the young marshal lacks most at present is the military quality of the officers and men, and he asked me to do my best to support them. I came to Mukden for a few days, and I heard with my own ears the praise of the people for the guards brigade, and I also saw with my own eyes the vigor of some officers and men. The fact that the young marshal can have the courage to bring out such an eye-catching army is extraordinary. I am also looking forward to being able to work under the command of the young marshal, how can I pick fat and pick thin? But it's enough to be a pawn! ”
Polite words can't be taken seriously, Zhang Hanqing knows very well that there is no doubt about employing people, and most people with skills in this era are quite arrogant. If you want to really retain talents, you must give them a stage to play and give them lofty courtesy. Ji Yiqiao's qualifications are so old, if he succumbs to the guards in Han, Guo, Wang and others, even if he doesn't mind, it will always make people feel inappropriate. Therefore, the conditions given by Zhang Zuolin are tempting, the Eight Divisions of the Military Supervision Bureau, although the authority of any division chief may not be as real as that of a brigade commander, but at least the reputation is good.
But Zhang Hanqing was reluctant, although the meat was rotten in the pot, anyway, he drank the soup with a spoon. But at present, it is much more useful for Ji Yiqiao to stay in the Guards Brigade than in the Eighth Division, at least to put the Guards Brigade on the rails.
"Let my brother be the brigade commander, and dare to destroy the heavens? My brother's training of the Dian Army is quite effective, I want to ask my brother to temporarily be the training director of the Guards Brigade---- brother don't worry, you can do whatever you want, I will not interfere." My young marshal's name is for your escort. I just have an idea, this group of student troops are my treasures, and the troops will have the opportunity to expand in the future, and they are all officer seeds, so I have a high degree of bullying for them, and naturally my requirements are higher than those of other troops. Now that the army has Wang Yizhe, Wu's ability depends on his brother. ”
can't be too condescending, think about it, only the name "director" can still be used to bluff people, is it a title anyway.
While Ji Yiqiao was still thinking about what the position of this training director was, Zhang Hanqing was about to share his little secret with him again: "In addition, junior brother, I also secretly set up a special operations team, all of which are elites in the army, and I also want to entrust my brother to take charge of it---- I will introduce this unit to you when I have time." This special operations brigade was carefully formed by me, and it will be of great use in the future, but now I need to do things in a low-key manner, so I can only work hard for you for a while---- I know that in addition to Han, Guo, Wang and me, the fifth person in this unit is my brother. ”
What does it take to gain the impression and trust of others? Just share the unsightly things with him! This spirit didn't know, anyway, Zhang Hanqing did it, and Ji Yiqiao was as relieved as he expected. Perhaps, the secret that Zhang Hanqing shared with him made him feel trust, and Zhang Hanqing's expectations for him made him feel the passion he had not felt for a long time.
What is the way to retain talent? Generous treatment, an attitude of importance and a sense of ceremony. Needless to say, the treatment and attitude are not to be said, Zhang Hanqing has already put the best positions he can take out in front of Ji Yiqiao. For a soldier, nothing is more exciting than showing his ability in the army, anyway, under Zhang Hanqing's fierce offensive, Ji Yiqiao readily agreed and succumbed to the military training director of the fifth commander of the Guards Brigade.
This made Zhang Zuolin stunned, the military training director of the Overseer Department did not do it, but became the training director of the brigade, what the hell! But Zhang Hanqing did it. This little six sons, there is a set of pulling people!
Zhang Hanqing is not the kind of character who employs people in front and does not use people behind, he immediately showed his attention to Ji Yi, and slept with Ji Yi that night, and described in detail his thoughts on the combat concept of the special operations team. And Ji Yiqiao also benefited a lot, because he knew for the first time what a beheading operation was, and the young marshal's special operations team was far-sighted.
There are two main theoretical sources for the decapitation operation, one is the "paralyzing attack" proposed by the British military scientist Fuller, and the other is the "five-ring theory" of Colonel Wharton of the US Air Force, and their main task is to focus on the enemy's command system. In fact, ancient China has long been saying, "Shoot a man before a horse, and capture a thief before the king" is just like that.
To carry out the decapitation operation, several important conditions are required: accurate intelligence ---- the intelligence bureau is the eyes and ears; With the ability to strike accurately and quickly---- Ji Yiqiao is ready to do this; It is necessary to have an overall judgment and estimate the impact and countermeasures after the launch of the operation---- and this Zhang Hanqing will deal with it as the coach.
In Zhang Hanqing's heart, the special operations team is the role of the future special forces and Navy SEALs. Don't think that it only developed after World War II, in fact, in the official history, the Japanese were ahead of the curve in this regard. Of course, in this time and space, Zhang Hanqing is still ahead of them.
However, the results of the Japanese were outstanding: in the last battle of the Hundred Regiments in the official history, Miyazaki Nakasa, the Japanese Army's Independent Special Brigade, led his best elite special operations team of more than 600 people to almost finish Peng Dehuai's nest. Who Miyazaki is, many people don't know, and it doesn't talk much about it in history, but the Japanese ace Lieutenant General Sakagaki, the commander of the division, is much more famous. Miyazaki Nakasa and Japanese ace Lieutenant General Sakagaki are in the same class, so you can't get a glimpse of the military rank alone.
The reason why the rank difference is so far is because Miyazaki himself was not interested in large-scale army operations, but only devoted himself to the study of his special operations. The number of people is small, so the rank will not be too high. However, the Eighth Route Army lost nearly three and a half regiments before it completely annihilated this brigade, which shows the power of the Japanese ace special forces.
Just as the deadliest adversary of a nuclear submarine is another nuclear submarine, the legal force for restraining special forces is another special forces. In addition to taking precautions, Zhang Hanqing believes that special operations are a very promising career.
In the Northeast, there are still many potential opponents who are not satisfied; In the central government, in the future, it will also have to deal with the Anhui system, the direct line, the national army, and various local armies. It is a high probability event to gather and annihilate and win the battle on the frontal battlefield, but after all, they are all Chinese soldiers, and they are of the same origin, but the leaders meet each other because of various ideas. This kind of war, whether won or lost, is China's sorrow and is just another cut on the already exhausted body of the Chinese nation.
But if we can reduce the bloodshed by preemptively attacking its leaders or its important nodes in the war...
After learning about Zhang Hanqing's "unique" sense of distress, Ji Yiqiao actually had a strong resonance. He was originally a member of the League, and he once licked blood for the birth of the Republic of China, and he once faced the Beiyang saber soldiers in order to protect the banner of the country. But in his heart, he is still a staunch supporter of the unity of the North Ocean. Zhang Hanqing's use of beheading the opponent's "head" to make China bleed less is an important embodiment of his "use of thunderbolt means to show the heart of the Bodhisattva". He truly admired the young marshal's foresight, and he was determined to train the young marshal well, and also train the special forces, if Zhang Hanqing gave him enough power.
Zhang Hanqing did not disappoint him. The next day, he returned to Xinmin with Ji Yiqiao, where he held a meeting of officers at and above the company level, and solemnly introduced Ji Yiqiao to everyone as the military training director of the whole brigade.
Making newcomers feel a strong sense of ritual is a common method used by Zhang Hanqing in the management of the factory before the crossing, and this tried and tested method was equally useful a hundred years ago. In the solemn military music, Zhang Hanqing solemnly introduced Ji Yiqiao:
"The one next to me is the brigade commander of the major general in the first year of the Republic of China, and the brigade commander and chief instructor of the recruits of General Cai Yi of the Yunnan Army during the Protectorate Period. General Cai Yi is my uncle, many of you know that General Ji is his solemn recommendation, yesterday the overseer wanted to intercept people halfway, but it didn't succeed, hehe.
General Ji not only has rich experience in commanding and fighting wars, but also has unique views on military training, as evidenced by his ability to build the Dian army into an invincible and victorious division.
Our Guard Brigade is employing people, and there has been a lack of professional training personnel before, and now this shortcoming has been filled! With the approval of the Military Supervision Bureau, General Ji Yiqiao was specially appointed as the director of military training of the Guards Brigade, responsible for the combat training of all officers and men, the preparation and approval of regulations, and the improvement of command skills.
The Guards Brigade had won some battles before, but it was a rabble, and we had not yet encountered a real big battle or a bad battle. If you don't engage in formal training, you can't even be given good equipment. The purpose of appointing the training director this time is to unify discipline, system, establishment, discipline, and training, and to achieve organization, discipline, planning, and accuracy in the Guards Brigade.
I solemnly stress here: Any officer who cannot train his troops is not qualified to lead troops to fight! I have handed over the power of training and assessment to the director, and I hope that everyone will cooperate with the director to jointly carry out military training! ”
Of course, the response to the atmosphere was enthusiastic, and Ji Yiqiao also strongly felt the support and trust of the young marshal in him. However, it is inevitable that there will be a funny scene at the scene: a young colonel commands a bunch of colonels and regimental commanders and major general training directors on behalf of the brigade commander, and I don't know if there is such a situation elsewhere, anyway, Zhang Hanqing did it.
