Preparations for the establishment of a military-level command organization have been prepared for a few months ago, and in the follow-up northbound campaign and eastward campaign, Lin Ziran is trying to set up a military-level command organization, among which Xu Zhongshu is actually not only the commander of the first division in many operations, but has become a corps commander.

And now, it's official!

When the reinforcements went north, Lin Ziran officially ordered the establishment of the First Army, which had jurisdiction over the First Division, the Third Division, the Third Heavy Artillery Regiment, the Fifth Heavy Artillery Regiment, the Fifth Cavalry Division, and the Sixth Cavalry Division.

The Second Army, the 2nd, 5th, 9th, 4th Heavy Artillery Regiment, 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment, and 1st Cavalry Division were established; This Second Army was also a reinforcement to the north.

The Third Army was established with jurisdiction over the Eighth Division, the Second Cavalry Division, the Third Cavalry Division, the Fourth Cavalry Division, the First Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the Second Heavy Artillery Regiment. Responsible for the Eastern Defense.

The Fourth Army was established with jurisdiction over the Fourth, Sixth, Tenth, Eleventh, Seventh Cavalry Division, and Seventh Heavy Artillery Regiment, which are currently stationed in Anlong and Luohai Counties.

In addition, the garrison brigade is temporarily under the command of the First Army, but the establishment is still under the direct command of the General Staff, this garrison brigade belongs to Lin Ziran's escort force, but some time ago, the military situation was urgent, and the reinforcements were sent to Guang'an City, and they will be transferred back in the future.

After the establishment of the four armies, because there was a need for someone to serve as the commander of the army, Lin Ziran also adjusted the appointment and dismissal of senior generals in the Southern Navy.

Xu Zhongshuqing was transferred from the post of commander of the First Division to the commander of the First Army.

Zhang Hanqiu Shaoqing was transferred from the post of commander of the Second Division, transferred to the commander of the Second Army, and was promoted to the rank of Zhongqing Military Lord.

Song Youzhongqing was transferred from the post of commander of the First Cavalry Division, removed from the post of commander of the cavalry corps, and became the commander of the Third Army.

Liang Chenglei was transferred from the post of commander of the Fourth Division, transferred to the commander of the Fourth Army, and was promoted to the rank of Zhongqing Military Lord.

In addition, the generals at the division level have also been adjusted, among which the commander of the first division, which can be said to be the most important division commander in the Southern Navy, was taken over by Fang Wenxi, deputy commander of the first division.

The commander of the second division was taken over by Mu Hongkang, deputy commander of the second division.

The commander of the 1st Cavalry Division was Huang Jiancheng, commander of the 1st Cavalry Regiment, and was promoted to Shaoqing.

The commander of the Fourth Division was succeeded by Zuo Yikai, director of the Operations Department of the General Staff.

Whether it is the above or others, this time the position adjustment is still reused, and it is still all the descendants of the generals.

Especially Fang Wenxi Shaoqing, who took over as the commander of the first division, this person was an early student of the camp school, and Lin Ziran was called a teacher on weekdays, and his combat command ability was also quite good, but in the early camp school, there were only a few senior generals who became talents, as for the other generals who were born in the early camp school, although most of them still served in the Southern Navy, but basically that's it, not that they are not loyal enough, but their talents are limited.

Now they can be a regiment commander, brigade commander or the like, that is already their limit, if they continue to be a division commander or something, it is not called promotion, but harm to others and themselves.

The establishment of the Fourth Army and the readjustment of the posts of some senior generals have not affected the current combat mission of the Yugoslav Navy.

For example, the troops of the First Army were originally on the front line of Guang'an and Hexi, and they were also under the command of Xu Zhongshu before, but now they are only formalized in their establishment.

After doing these things, Lin Ziran just sat back and waited for the front-line battle report.

Now what he can do has been done, the troops have also been reinforced, and all kinds of materials are also transported north as much as possible.

In this northern front operation, although there were two armies, the power of overall command was still in the hands of Xu Zhongshu, and Lin Ziran clearly ordered Xu Zhongshu to coordinate and command the war on the northern front.

Xu Zhongshu's ability has been proven, in the past few years, leading troops to fight has never disappointed Lin Ziran, since last year, although Xu Zhongshu is still serving as the commander of the first division, but in fact, what he has done has long exceeded the responsibility and power of the division commander.

Whether it was going north or south, or eastward, Xu Zhongshu was mostly the commander of the forward unit or the roundabout unit, commanding two or three divisions or even more troops to fight.

Let Xu Zhongshu command the northern line, Lin Ziran is relieved.

Of course, there is no way to worry about it, and now in the entire Southern Navy, there is only one general who is really capable of coordinating and commanding more than 100,000 troops, in fact, Xu Zhongshu is alone.

After all, the senior generals in the Southern Navy, except for Xu Zhongshu, are all from the Luo'an Military Academy and its predecessor, the Suiying Academy, all of them are young, and the military courses they have learned are also very short, and Xu Zhongshu is an exception.

He was a career officer, he started attending military school when he was a teenager, and now in his thirties, he has been in the military for more than 20 years.

The experience of leading troops to fight a war is not comparable to those generals who have only been in the army for a year and a half.

After watching the Second Army go north on a boat, Lin Ziran was not idle, and continued to be busy dealing with many affairs in the back.

As the state governor of Nanhai Prefecture, there are too many things that he needs to deal with every day, in addition to military aspects, there are also a lot of administrative matters.

It's just that the situation is tense now, and although Lin Ziran is also busy with these administrative affairs, he still pays more attention to the military.

On 28 April, Lin Ziran inspected the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory and the Nanzhou Machinery Bureau, two major arsenals, the importance of which goes without saying.

During the inspection, the management of the two arsenals unanimously asked when they would be able to allocate funds, otherwise their factories would not be able to pay wages to their employees, and they would not even be able to purchase raw materials.

In this regard, Lin Ziran was also a little helpless, if he had money, he would have pulled it out a long time ago, but this is not no money!

Today, these two arsenals are wholly-owned enterprises under the Ministry of Finance of the State Command, and because they are wartime, they are already under complete military control.

In terms of operation, military planning measures are taken, that is, what the military needs, orders are placed directly, and then the arsenal produces, and the military takes away the goods.

As for the money, the military actually doesn't care, it is all directly allocated by the Ministry of Finance to the arsenal.

But now the problem is that the finance department has no money to allocate to them!

However, at this time, Han Haochuan found him: "My lord, the official representatives of the Orr Kingdom in the south have officially sent us a request for purchase, and they are willing to purchase our breech-loading rifled army weapons and warships equipped with breech-loading rifled guns at a high price, and let us replace the ironclad ships currently under construction with breech-loading rifled guns." ”

"This is a large order of at least 30 million."
