Pointing out the height that the Chinese Army will reach in the future also means that this fundamental innovation will inevitably be implemented in an orderly manner.

In the next five days, Zhao Zongwu, Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou and other high-level cores conducted detailed discussions on the problems that have arisen in the existing army and the hidden dangers that may arise, and according to the final discussion results, they agreed on the corresponding innovations that need to be carried out.

After discussing the corresponding matters, the fifteen chief military officers, including Mao Wenlong, Liu Xingzuo, and Man Gui, did not stay in Datong for a moment, and rushed to their respective posts under the escort of their own guards.

For the army under the command of Zhao Zongwu, don't look at the military conference held this time is only six days, but it is precisely because of these six days that the thinking of the army's top leaders has been unified, which also makes some hidden dangers lurking in the shadows finally extinguished by one innovation mechanism after another.

This also laid the foundation for the subsequent civil unrest in the survey.

The Nine-Sided Marshal's Mansion.

"This military conference not only clarifies and improves the mechanisms, but also makes it clear that the directors of the two new departments of this department will make it clear that this company hopes that you two should fulfill your responsibilities and obligations after taking over the supervision of this department and keeping the department confidential."

It's still that conference room, it's still those people, but after this military meeting, their positions have also been adjusted accordingly, and since then, the directors of the six departments of the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion have all been in place.

Chan Ki-yu, Director of the Staff, Fan Tianxiong, Director of the Propaganda and Pacification Department, Hong Chengchou, Director of the Supervision Department, Ding Kui, Director of the Coordination Department, Zu Dashou, Director of the War Preparedness Department, and Zhao Zonglin, Director of the Confidentiality Department.

Zhao Shujiao, deputy director of the Army Division, Li Yun, deputy director of the Navy Division, and Sun Zushou, deputy director of the Garrison Division.

After listening to Zhao Zongwu's words, Hong Chengchou and Zhao Zonglin stood up together, bowed to Zhao Zongwu and said, "The last general will not disgrace his mission!" ”

Looking at Hong Chengchou and Zhao Zonglin's grim expressions, Zhao Zongwu smiled and waved his hand: "Today is just a small talk for us, after such a long discussion, you must be in chaos in your minds, and there are also many doubts in your hearts, as members of the core leadership circle of the Nine Border Marshal Mansion, before doing the corresponding things, the first thing to do is to do it yourself without any doubts." ”

After listening to Zhao Zongwu's narration, Li Yun, who was sitting next to him, was not calm at first, "Grandpa Guo, the last general does have many questions in his heart, just like Grandpa Guo, you said two days ago, in the future naval battle, the side bombardment of sea ships will only become one of the options."

More will be launched through more advanced offensive methods, and even some offensive modes that appear in the army can also be replicated in naval warfare, but the last general has been thinking about this question these days, what kind of method can subvert the existing offensive mode of the navy? ”

As a veteran who followed Zhao Zongwu after the Battle of Guangning, it may be said that Li Yun's talent is indeed a little unsatisfactory, but over the years, it is precisely because of his humble heart and the mentality of seeking victory in stability that he has very well exercised the rights and responsibilities of the deputy chief of the Navy Division.

It may be said that Li Yun is far from being Cao Wenzhao, Zhou Yuji, and Huang Degong in terms of naval warfare, but in terms of overall planning, Cao Wenzhao and they may not be Li Yun's opponents, and their division of labor is different, which also makes the rights and responsibilities they exercise different.

"Vice Chief Li, my father-in-law knows that you will definitely ask." Zhao Zongwu said with a smile on his face: "That Bengong will give you a simple concept, the first generation of steam devices developed in Liaodong has been successful, although because of the tightness, the first generation of steam devices is not very cost-effective, but this also provides us with a new idea."

The steam device is like a never-ending machine, as long as you can provide it with the energy it deserves, then it can provide you with a steady stream of power, since we are on land, we can move the steam device on the ground by rails, so why can't we provide this steam device to the sea ship?

When our seagoing ships are no longer simply sailing with the help of the wind, when the simple timber supervision gradually evolves into steel casting, what will be the impact on the seagoing ships? ”

The history of the development of the navy is also the history of blood and tears in the in-depth exploration of human beings, and it is also because of the huge needs of mankind that the navy has been able to develop rapidly.

As the person who knows the navy best among those present, Li Yun first thought in his heart that it was impossible after listening to Zhao Zongwu's narration, but then he increased his imagination in his mind, and when the solidified reason was overthrown, Li Yun made the corresponding deduction in his mind according to the scene described by Zhao Zongwu, and he was deeply shocked by the era that may appear in the future!

If wood becomes iron, if solid shells turn into more advanced shelling, if ......

"Grandpa of that country, if it is as you described, will my Huaxia Army fight the world's giants in the future?" Zu Dashou's eyes flashed with excitement, and his words were even more excited.

As a standard hawk representative, although Zu Dashou is currently leading the War Readiness Department, under his leadership over the years, the progress of firearms under the command of the Chinese army has made a leap forward, which has also forced the Liaodong region to hatch the corresponding sprouts of the steam era.

Because of Zu Dashou's special status, coupled with the strength of the ancestral generals, it is impossible for Zu Dashou to lead troops to fight outside.

But on the other hand, Zhao Zongwu also has absolute trust in the ancestral family, and will never carry out so-called checks and balances on them because of the large number of generals in the ancestral family.

"In fact, for my Chinese family, we are just encountering some bumps on the road ahead, which makes us inevitably become a little unhappy at this stage, and we have also experienced some unforgettable things." Zhao Zongwu did not directly answer Zu Dashou's question, and after telling the prerequisites, he said with a relaxed smile on his face: "My father does not deny that there are still strong enemies in this world, but in the Nanyang region, the Indian region, the Australian region, etc., they are all existences that will be deterred by our army.

In fact, the biggest enemy of our army is the climate of the area where our army is going to fight, and the treacherous and humid climate environment will cause unnecessary damage to our army, so this also requires you to prepare for war, and you must develop corresponding solution equipment to contribute your own strength to the expansion of our army. ”

According to the idea provided by Zhao Zongwu, every existing agency has its meaning of existence, and each agency is the most appropriate and beneficial.

This is also the reason why Zu Dashou is so dedicated in this position, because just like the trust given to him by Zhao Zongwu, he also has the desire to repay in his heart.

In Zhao Zongwu's body, there is such a kind of personality charm, which will make some people slowly be convinced by him after following him to do things.

"However, the internal stability of our Huaxia clan has not yet been settled, and our army has begun such a large-scale external expansion, is this suspected of putting the cart before the horse? After all, the stability of the local area is the foundation to ensure long-term foreign expansion. Zhao Zonglin frowned and said the worry in his heart.

Because he has been given a heavy burden by Zhao Zongwu over the years, this also makes Zhao Zonglin's talent not to be underestimated, and he has been the deputy chief of the Guanlong Military Academy for these years, which also makes him have an advanced vision, so when his eldest brother tells this, Zhao Zonglin has a little worry in his heart.

Zhao Zongwu said with a smile: "You can think of this, which proves that you really think about the problem, but you ignore the most important point in the middle."

From the very beginning, Bengong did not make it clear that he wanted to occupy overseas territory absolutely, and as far as our army was concerned, in the initial stage of foreign expansion, military colonization should be the main core.

After all, for us, such a huge overseas area, if we say that from the beginning in line with the idea of honest development, it will definitely affect the progress of our Huaxia family's accumulation of foundation, and moreover, the core of our Huaxia family, has not reached the ideal state, under such a premise, if we take the initiative to adopt this development concept, it is not the best way for our department.

However, with the least army and the least number of people, we can form the maximum extraction of overseas and continuously transport a large amount of wealth to the mainland, so that we can rely on these wealth, continue to develop the core, and at the same time successively drive the north and the south to a new course. ”

According to Zhao Zongwu's idea, with overseas wealth, continue to develop the territory that has been mastered, through the existing territory, continue to develop science and technology, and use practical interests to promote the people of the Ming Dynasty to continue to lose confidence in the Ming Dynasty, and then make it very natural for him to seek the highest position.

Because he knows what kind of impact internal friction will bring, from the very beginning, Zhao Zongwu avoided internal friction to the greatest extent, and everything he is doing now is to sweep away the hidden dangers accumulated by the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the reason why he is so calm, he doesn't want to get this territory quickly, so that those fundamental stubborn diseases are not eradicated, and then everything becomes very unworthwhile.

The power of the local gentry is too heavy, and this fundamental problem, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Zongwu to retreat half a step.

If he chooses to retreat at this point, then no matter how great his achievements are in the future, in the end, he will still experience everything that is happening to the Ming Dynasty, and the experience of being a puppet in the capital will also happen to his descendants, so he must carry out corresponding innovations from the root.
