Gao Junshan returned to the Wenhua Hall and sat on the dragon chair, and the left and right bronze cranes in the hall lit sandalwood from Southeast Asia.

Cai Zhishan knelt respectfully under His Royal Highness and said, "Your Majesty greets!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "There are only you and I here, and the cumbersome etiquette is free, please get up and talk." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Gao Junshan beckoned, "Bolan, come and talk to me recently. ”

Cai Zhishan sat down on a chair closest to Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan said: "As for the current layout of our army's troops, please also ask Bolan to briefly tell me about it." ”

Cai Zhishan said: "Back to Your Majesty, Cao Wenzhao's First Army Corps has ten divisions, five first-class divisions, three second-class divisions, and two second-class divisions, with a strength of 56,000 troops, responsible for the defense of Xinjiang, Yuzi and the western part of Western Xinjiang, and the corps headquarters is stationed in Xichang; He Renlong's Second Army Corps had ten divisions, four first-class divisions, three second-class divisions, and three third-class divisions, with a strength of 52,000 men, responsible for the defense of Liangguang and Hainan Island, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Guangzhou; Liu Da's Third Army Corps had six divisions, two first-class divisions, two second-class divisions, and two third-class divisions, with a strength of 30,000 troops, responsible for the defense of Mongolia, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Urge; Bai Wenxuan's Fourth Army Corps had seven divisions, two first-class divisions, two second-class divisions, and three third-class divisions, with a strength of 33,000 troops, responsible for the defense of India, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Bombay; Ma Yuanli's Fifth Army Corps had eight divisions, three first-class divisions, two second-class divisions, and three third-class divisions, with a strength of 40,000 troops, responsible for the defense of Fujian, Taiwan, and the Ryukyus, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Xiamen; Hui Dengxiang's Sixth Army Corps had 12 divisions, 6 first-class divisions, 3 second-class divisions, and 3 C-class divisions, with a strength of 66,000 men, responsible for the defense of Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu, and Tibet, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Lhasa; Gao Yigong's Seventh Army Corps had four divisions, two first-class divisions and two second-class divisions, with a strength of 24,000 men, responsible for the defense of the three eastern provinces, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Ningyuan; Li Dingguo's Eighth Army Corps had ten divisions, four first-class divisions, three second-class divisions, and three third-class divisions, with a strength of 54,000 troops, and was responsible for the defense of the headquarters in western Xinjiang and the east, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Vladivostok; Feng Shuangli's 10th Army Corps had eight divisions, four first-class divisions, two second-class divisions, and two second-class divisions, with a strength of 44,000 men, responsible for the defense of Nanyang, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Yangon; Sun Dahai's Marine Corps, also known as the Ninth Corps, had seven Marine divisions with 70,000 troops, and the corps headquarters was stationed in Rangoon. ”

Gao Junshan nodded with satisfaction: "Your report is very detailed, what I want to know is how many divisions we have at the moment, and how many troops we have." ”

Cai Zhishan replied: "Our ten regiments have a total of 82 divisions and 471,000 men. ”

"Very well, but what about the Navy?"

Cai Zhishan replied: "The arms of the navy are relatively complex, and after integration, the current strength is about 200,000. ”

Gao Junshan instructed: "At present, the territory of China has extended to the South Seas, and there are only a few countries bordering our land, and they are all our vassal countries, so from now on, we must vigorously develop our navy, and our navy will go to the world." ”

Cai Zhishan asked: "Your Majesty, since you want to vigorously develop the navy, why do you want to stop the manufacture of battleships?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "China has a vast territory and many ethnic groups, and if there are no railway lines, it will be difficult to effectively control all parts of the country, especially the remote minority areas. Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to build railways, pool the strength of the whole country, and build eight railway lines in 10 years. As an important national infrastructure, the main artery of the national economy and a popular means of transportation, railways are of great significance in terms of strategic and security role in national security. On the one hand, the international railway transport corridors that we have and are planning and building have important economic, political and military significance for the input and output of resources and materials. On the other hand, from the perspective of national economy, territorial integrity and national defense and security strategy, railways have great practical and strategic significance. Therefore, we must first put railway construction in the first place. However, there is no contradiction between the development of the navy and the construction of railways, which are two aspects of the current development of our country. ”

Cai Zhishan said: "Your Majesty's teachings Zhishan must be kept in mind. ”

Gao Junshan asked: "What is the current situation of the militia's construction?" ”

Cai Zhishan replied: "Under the instructions of His Majesty's 'large-scale militia division,' we have now set up 573 militia divisions throughout the country, totaling more than 3.5 million people. ”

Gao Junshan said: "The purpose of establishing the militia is mainly in three aspects: first, first, to carry out national production and construction, and actively complete production tasks; second, to undertake combat readiness services, defend the frontier, and maintain social stability; Third, be ready to join the army at any time to participate in the war and support the front, resist aggression, and defend the integrity of the country. ”

Cai Zhishan said: "Our militia is trained in accordance with His Majesty's will. ”

Gao Junshan remembered something and said to Cai Zhishan: "Hui Dengxiang mentioned to me a few times that he is old and does not adapt to the climate of Tibet, and wants to return to the capital to work. You arrange to transfer Whitden to the Military and Political Yuan, and let Tian Jianxiu take the post of commander of the Sixth Army. ”

Cai Zhishan said: "Huideng has made significant contributions to the development of our army, and I suggest that he be appointed as the vice president of the Military and Political Yuan, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Although Hui Dengxiang is not the first of the top ten generals, he is the elder of our army, and he followed me in the most difficult time. I agreed to him as vice-president, and proposed that he be in charge of the militia. ”

Cai Zhishan said: "After I go back, I will give the Sixth Army a message." ”

At this time, Li Derong came in, and he asked Gao Junshan: "Your Majesty, lunch has been prepared, where are you going to eat?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "At noon today, I invited Dean Cai to dinner, and I ate in my imperial study. ”

Li Derong said: "Obey the order!" ”

Li Derong was instructed to make arrangements.

Gao Junshan stood up and said, "I'm really not used to wearing this dragon robe, let's go, go to the imperial study, I still have questions for you." ”

Gao Junshan's imperial study is in the Yangxin Palace, and the Yangxin Palace is behind the Wenhua Palace, Gao Junshan returned to his imperial study, and immediately changed his dragon robe, wearing civilian clothes, while beckoning Cai Zhishan to sit down, he said to him: "It's much more comfortable now, how relaxed it is!" ”

Before the two of them sat down, the maids in the kitchen brought the meal, a total of four dishes and one soup, a very ordinary lunch.

Cai Zhishan has followed Gao Junshan for many years, although he is more restrained than Bailisha in front of Gao Junshan, but he can also love the generals at will on the surface of Gao Junshan, and after the meal is arranged, the two of them will eat.

Gao Junshan asked while eating: "I heard that you have an extra child at home?" ”

"More, more children?" Cai Zhishan didn't react to Gao Junshan's sudden question.

Gao Junshan asked in detail: "I heard that there is a young man named Wei Xiaobao, who you brought to the capital from Suzhou, and he lives in your house now, right?" ”
