After sending Mr. Shan away overnight, Liu Juntao worked alone in the lobby for a long time, thinking about what Mr. Shan said to himself, and he couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time.

"It seems that the affairs of Shandong Town should be reformed as soon as possible, and the conflict between the DPRK and China may break out at any time, I must complete the layout as soon as possible and make myself stronger!"

A few days later, Liu Juntao summoned all his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Officials at and above the level of all ministries and departments, and guerrilla generals and above of all battalions rushed to the General Military Palace.

Seeing that everyone was here, Liu Juntao ordered the official establishment of Shandong Town, and the first thing after the establishment of Shandong Town was to carry out a comprehensive reform!

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, in the eyes of everyone, the structure of the General Military Government at this time was already very comprehensive, did it still need to be reformed?

Liu Juntao looked at everyone's expressions and said: "No system can remain unchanged for ten thousand years, everything must continue to evolve and progress in order to keep up with the development of the situation, otherwise it will be defeated, and we are the same!" ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao announced that the first item in the reform of the General Military Office was military reform.

After the first reform of the soldiers and horses of the battalions and the military department was completed, the general military office was to be moved to Jinan Prefecture, and at that time, the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Exploration, and the Ministry of Praise and Painting had to begin a comprehensive reform.

"At that time, the General Military Office may set up a new department, and maybe the existing department will be reorganized, so everyone must be mentally prepared!"

Everyone pondered when they heard this, and everyone's expressions were different.

Among them, the most relaxed is Hu Dexing, the minister of the military department, after all, no matter how much it is reformed, the military department is as stable as Mount Tai, and it will never be revoked or merged.

Then, Liu Juntao announced the reform plan of the military department.

This time, Liu Juntao decided to change the three divisions under the military department into four, and add a research and development department to be responsible for the research and development and testing of new equipment for the army, and at the same time to be responsible for improving the army's existing equipment.

The name of Si Cheng of the R&D Department is Yang Liben, who was originally a craftsman in the Yushan Military War Bureau, in his fifties, and is very proficient in the creation of firearms, and is a talent specially recommended by Zhang Baigui to Liu Juntao.

At this time, Yang Liben was also present, and Liu Juntao just asked Yang Liben to get up and get to know each other.

Later, Liu Juntao announced that the Recruit Department would be changed to the Recruitment Department, and the responsibilities of the Recruitment Department were also changed from the temporary recruitment of recruits for drills to the selection of school-age men in the entire prefectures and counties of Shandong.

These reservists can go home to continue their lives after passing the drill, and the town of Shandong will give them some subsidies, and their families will also receive some care; However, as soon as Shandong Town needed it, it was necessary to immediately rush to the recruitment points set up by Shandong Town in various prefectures and counties to report for duty.

This point is also Liu Juntao with reference to the military service system of later generations, if there are reserve soldiers who deliberately do not take the order to report, then these soldiers will be recorded by the General Military Office, and will be punished by the Military Department of Suppression, and their families will also be fined heavily, basically will be punished bankrupt!

After such a reform, the soldiers of Shandong Town have a guarantee, and in time, as long as Liu Juntao is willing, Shandong Town can expand its army several times in a very short time, and it can also ensure that the combat strength of the army will not drop too much to the greatest extent!

In addition, Liu Juntao also announced that the Equipment Department would be changed to the Military Armament Department.

Now that the Ministry of Commerce has begun to lay out in Datong Town, it will not be long before the coal, steel and other strategic materials in Shandong Town will show a blowout increase, so Liu Juntao decided to set up two additional military bureaus in Jinan Mansion and Qingzhou Prefecture.

These two military bureaus are the Lishan Military Bureau set up in the Lishan Mountains 30 miles south of Jinan Prefecture, and the other is the Changshan Military Bureau set up in Changshan in Mengyin County, Qingzhou Prefecture.

Hearing Liu Juntao's words, Cheng Wulei, the director of the military recruitment department, and Zhang Baigui, the director of the military preparation department, both of them were ready to fight hard.

Then, Liu Juntao began to announce the new system of the army:

The basic combat unit of the army is battalion, and each combat battalion has three infantry divisions, one cavalry department, one artillery department, and one baggage department.

In addition to cavalry and artillery, all soldiers and horses will cancel the long knife soldier and mine-thrower system, and all soldiers will be equipped with the latest improved Jingtai Yuannian bird gun, this bird gun has improved the firing device of the orthodox bird gun, and optimized the ratio of sub-medicine, more powerful, better reliability!

Among them, an infantry department consists of four generals, a team that does not collect at night, and a team of thousands of general guards; There are four posts under each post, four teams under each post, and four teams under each team; At the same time, Liu Juntao also added one sentry to each infantry commander, carrying 28 mine-throwing guns, so as to increase the firepower of infantry officers and men;
