Li Jiayu took out a letter of appointment, which clearly stated that because the Sichuan Army will be officially reorganized into the national army, Liu Xiang will be appointed director of the Sichuan Kang Pacification District, and waterways, highways, railways, iron and steel plants, and arsenals will also be merged into the Combat Readiness Coordination Committee, with Lao Jiang as chairman, Liu Xiang as vice chairman, Liu Yun as director of the combat readiness railway, and deputy director of the combat readiness military industry, and awarded the rank of major general.

Liu Yun is really unbelievable, he is only twenty-four or five, and he became a major general, which is too unreal, not only in charge of the railway and military industry, but also has nothing to do with the Nanjing Military and Political Department, and the power is really great, theoretically speaking, except for Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang, he is older, how dare he take it.

Li Jiayu understood what was going on, so he pulled Liu Yun to sit down and explained in detail from beginning to end that this war preparedness director and major general rank was the product of the compromise between the Sichuan army and Nanjing, and the three elders of the old Liu family in Sichuan also strongly supported him to take the position, saying that the meat was rotten in the pot and so on.

What's more, a handful of Mao people with ulterior motives actually wanted to invite the Japanese to participate in the construction of the Sichuan Railway and the military industry, and it was rumored that they had obtained a verbal promise from the devils that they were ready to transfer technical backbones from the South Manchurian Railway to aid in the construction of Sichuan, and they were afraid of insufficient funds, so they specially borrowed 30 million yen from the Bank of Tokyo.

Liu Yun immediately became angry, and directly asked Li Jiayu, who is this handful of hairy people, he doesn't mind making a cameo appearance as a killer and killing them one by one, but General Li was a little embarrassed, not only did he not say the specific name, but persuaded him in a low voice, just say that this matter is deep, don't go too deep.

After calming down, Liu Yun closed his eyes and thought about the development of Sichuan in the past few years, the Japanese only have consulates in Chongqing, and their influence has not yet penetrated into the city and other places, even on the eve of the July 7 Incident in 1937, there is still not much change, so the current situation is an illusion.

The so-called illusion is that the Chuankang forces and the Nanjing forces are just bargaining under this pretext, and Lao Chiang wants to build a large rear in Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, and Sichuan is the top priority, which will inevitably offend the interests of many people, and if the price of compensation is not enough, they will inevitably make trouble, and even change their tricks to inform the Japanese of some of Nanjing's war readiness plans, so as to blackmail Lao Chiang and Nanjing.

Therefore, against this background, Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang will inevitably compromise with each other, give up some positions from various key departments of the party, government, and military, and let the other party's people enter.

As the saying goes, "the fire at the city gate will affect the fish in the pond", Liu Yun this time it was the fire at the city gate, taking a big advantage, he is not only a trainee of the army of Lu Da, but also a protégé of the Jiang commission, and for the Sino-German military cooperation, he has made great contributions, and he has also married the Kong chaebol, so he is naturally the descendant of Lao Jiang.

At the same time, Liu Yun is a member of the old Liu family after all, and he can't write two Liu characters in one stroke, not to mention that his appearance just makes up for the gap in the military industry of the Sichuan Army.

Holding this just-released letter of appointment, Liu Yun felt a little overwhelmed, especially after learning that he had obtained it by claiming to cooperate with Japan and thus blackmailing Lao Jiang, he felt even more angry, but he also knew that now was not the time for him to be hypocritical, and it was only right to do practical things for war preparation.

Liu Yun gloomily took the letter of appointment, quietly folded it and put it in his pocket, and then faced up to the matter of the three garrison brigades, Li Jiayu did not shy away from it, and bluntly said that this is what Liu Xiang meant, after all, this time the reorganization of Chuankang is the right time to reduce the number of 200 regiments and reorganize them into railway garrison brigades.

When the whole Sichuan railway network is formed, the railway garrison brigades in various places will be reorganized into the Sichuan Railway Corps, and Liu Xiang will be the commander-in-chief, but at present, he can't take care of it, so he will temporarily be under the dual jurisdiction of the local prefectures and Liu Yun, so these railway garrison troops are really his own direct subordinates.

All of a sudden, Liu Yun was really at a loss, if he didn't regard these garrison brigades as his own troops, then in the future, they would definitely not do their best to maintain the safety of the railway, if there was any major accident, it would be a big trouble, if they really regarded it as their own people, in the end it would be better for others.

Liu Yun couldn't make up his mind what to do, but Li Jiayu was confident and told him a clever plan, one is to buy back the old equipment eliminated by the Sichuan army and solve the problem of weapons for these garrison brigades, and the other is to let some railway interests be given to the local government, which will naturally exchange peaches for plums and solve military expenses.

Before the third point was spoken, he was interrupted by Liu Yun, your sister, what kind of trick are you, it's clearly a trick, specifically to trap him, Commander Liu, but Li Jiayu is a powerful faction of the Sichuan army, and he, the director of combat readiness, can't afford to provoke him for the time being, so he had to politely decline the "clever plan".

Liu Yun's meaning is very simple, since he is his subordinates, he will never treat them badly, and the military salary and equipment are treated equally, even if Liu Xiang is good in the future, he is also a soldier in China, and he will still go to the battlefield of resistance against Japan in the future.

To deal with these eliminated soldiers, Liu Yun had a way, directly borrowed troops from Zhen Wenhe and Zheng Yuanxing, and let the disabled Red Army soldiers directly act as instructors in each company, strictly examine their bodies and minds, and those who are not qualified will all be transferred to local jobs and properly settled.

As for officers at all levels, they all go to West Sichuan University for further study, and when they are qualified, they will come out to lead the troops, of course, during the training period, the treatment and military salary are still the same, if there is anything dissatisfied, you can leave the garrison brigade and go to the city to find Liu Xiang, if Liu Xiang is not satisfied, you can directly dismiss Liu Yun.

Liu Yun's confidence comes from West Sichuan University, he is worried about what to do after the students graduate, Liu Xiang asked him to manage the garrison brigades in various places, it is a good place to go, as for the issue of military expenses and settlement, it is really not a difficult thing for him, each brigade is hundreds of thousands of oceans a year, and it is still affordable.

Sichuanxi now has more income, such as railway passenger and freight operations, building construction, electricity output, cement sales, and steel, automobile and armament sales, etc., each of which seems to be small, but adds up to an astonishing amount, and the monthly income is no less than the dividends of the United Pharmaceutical Factory.

After figuring it out, Liu Yun no longer cares, no longer cares about whether it is two garrison brigades or three, seeing that he is so big-packed, Li Jiayu is a little uncertain, but he is too lazy to meddle in things, and when Commander Liu is rectified, he will not pay military expenses, but he can also dispatch one or two, which is cost-effective.

After Li Jiayu visited the garrison brigade, Liu Yun directly announced his order in front of everyone, so that the officers and soldiers should think about it, and the first brigade in western Sichuan quickly sent people over, one is to take over the various garrison brigades and give a sound to the officers and soldiers, and the other is to comprehensively rectify military discipline, and those who are competent will stay, otherwise they will be dismissed.

To Liu Yun's surprise, 15,000 officers and soldiers cheered like thunder, they all belonged to the eliminated Sichuan army, originally thought that from now on they would become third-class soldiers, "waiting for food, drinking, and death", but they did not expect Commander Liu to give them a chance, that is, those who fail to pass the assessment can also be transferred to the local government, and the treatment of residents in western Sichuan has long been heard, of course, they must be supported with both hands and feet.

The idea is done, the order is also issued, Liu Yun has nothing to do, as for the opinions of officers at all levels, he doesn't care, there are words first, what is best mentioned in person, if there is chaos behind the back, he will directly hand them over to Liu Xiang, whether it is life or death, he doesn't care.

As soon as these words came out, the officers at all levels were like cicadas, and they had no opinion on Liu Yun's arrangement, and they thought about it, these eliminated goods, if they had the ability or backstage, they would not be excluded from the regular army, and the only thing I was looking forward to now was that I didn't look too the new Chief Liu.

For the next three days, Liu Yun stayed in the barracks, chatted with officers and men at all levels, and also made a cameo appearance in the Chiang Kai-shek committee to understand the actual problems of the officers and men, and at the same time mobilized for the great cause of resisting Japanese aggression in the future, and carried out patriotic education.

Soon, Guo Qixun, Zheng Yuanxing, and others took three or four hundred people, escorted hundreds of thousands of oceans, as well as a large amount of armaments, from Maozhou City to the garrison brigade by train, and formally began the issue of reorganizing and training the troops.

For the reorganization of the Fucheng Garrison Brigade, Guo Qixun has a lot of feelings, he started from the model brigade, captured the flag, made great achievements, and even worshiped the lieutenant general and division commander, but the troops in his hands never exceeded 10,000, and he was still a little unconvinced to obey Liu Yun's orders, but now he is convinced.

Liu Yun has three integrated brigades and a number of engineer battalions on the bright side, and if all kinds of engineering personnel are added, the available strength will exceed 40,000, but now Liu Xiang is still dumbfounded, hoping that western Sichuan will take over three more brigades, which is really "more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away."

If the six reorganized brigades are reorganized and trained a little, and some ordnance is supplemented, it will be an elite reorganized army, and if it really wants to be in the Sichuan army system, in terms of strength, Liu Yun's western Sichuan group is already ranked first, at least not weaker than the Li Jiayu group in front of him, Guo Qixun is beyond his reach.

The principle of dealing with the garrison brigade is "leniency and severity"; because the Sichuan army has been in a civil war for a long time, the army is numerous and complicated, the quality is uneven, and the military discipline is quite lax, so military discipline and training must be strict, but there is a long-term shortage of food and food, and the soldiers are weak and weak, so their living and treatment are all preferential, and the soldiers' salaries must be paid to the heads, clothes, vegetables, and so on, which can be allocated separately.

With Liu Yun's oceans and policies, as well as Zheng Yuanxing's Red Army cadres, after only a short period of 10 days of training by Guo Qixun, a master of military training, the mental outlook of the three garrison brigades has taken on a new look, and it is estimated that in another month, they will be reborn and truly shoulder the duty of garrison.

Since all the officers of the garrison brigade need to be retrained, the new acting officers are selected from ordinary soldiers, or sent from West Sichuan University, and they are clearly stated that they will only act for three months, and then compete with the returning officers for posts.

After returning to the furnace training method, Liu Yun formed an official document and sent it to Liu Xiang, the city capital, for the record, and then completely handed over the whole training to Guo Qixun and others, and privately reminded Zheng Yuanxing that the main force of the Red Army was busy in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, and it was best not to develop the Red Party organization in the garrison brigade.

Zheng Yuanxing is also a cheerful person, and immediately patted his chest and assured, but Liu Yun was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he also explained slightly, it is not a secret that the rest of the Red Army is in western Sichuan, and Lao Jiang and Liu Xiang have long been concerned, as long as they do not develop the party organization, they will not find an excuse to attack for the time being.
