In order to cope with the changes in the war situation and to make it easier for the command and mobilization of troops, Zhao Tiehu set up three major theaters and one ad hoc theater according to the current situation in Nanyang to integrate the armed forces of each theater.

As for the Fourth Theater and another ad hoc theater adjacent to the mainland, it was to deal with the drastic changes in the situation in these areas, so that the troops in the theater could be quickly pulled out and the situation tilted in favor of the Chinese.

Although the number of Chinese in some places is not large, Zhao Tiehu is still moving some Chinese people who have been displaced by the war. In the matter of relocating people, Chongqing and Yan'an have provided assistance.

After all, if these poor people who have lost their homes and even livelihoods are not relocated, many of them may starve to death. Now that Zhao Tiehu is willing to accept and provide placement, how could they refuse?

Even some people feel that it is somewhat inappropriate to move a large number of Chinese overseas. It's just that if you want to settle such a large number of refugees, whether it is Chongqing or Yan'an, many times you are powerless.

Last year, there was a great famine in Henan, and many refugees were ordered by Zhao Tiehu to move to Nanyang, and according to the batch of relocation, they were resettled in different resettlement places in Nanyang. In doing so, it is also to fill in the number of Chinese everywhere.

Although nowadays, including Southeast Asia, there are tens of millions of Chinese who have migrated overseas from China for many years. Compared to the large number of indigenous people in these areas, the Chinese are still a minority in these countries.

However, as it stands, the indigenous peoples, despite their large population base, have a very small number of rebels. In many cases, indigenous peoples mostly go with the flow, and whoever colonizes is subject to whomever governs.

Even though the times have changed now, many indigenous people who have stayed abroad have brought back some political culture from overseas, and are also seeking the path of independence and freedom. But without its own armament, everything is empty talk.

At least for Zhao Tiehu, he believes that there is no way to achieve independence and freedom by lip service. Only by controlling the barrel of the gun can we truly win the right to national independence and democratic freedom. And this is precisely what the indigenous people lack.

At present, although Nanyang is controlled by little devils, many indigenous people have also become obedient people. After all, to some indigenous people, the Japanese army drove out the former colonizers and seemed to have turned them into benefactors for their liberation.

However, as the Japanese army ruled Nanyang for more time, many indigenous people gradually realized that the arrival of the Japanese army was not to liberate them. On the contrary, the Japanese army, like the European and American countries that colonized the South Seas earlier, also came to colonize and enslave them.

Compared with the Chinese, under the leadership of Zhao Tiehu, they made preparations for the struggle very early. And by taking advantage of the chaotic situation in the South China Sea, it has grown rapidly from it. It can be said that the current number of Chinese armed forces in Nanyang has surpassed that of the Japanese troops stationed in Nanyang.

But in terms of quality, Zhao Tiehu felt that in addition to the army having certain advantages, the navy and air force of the Xinghua Army were still very immature for the time being, and they could not compete with the Japanese army at all. This is also the reason why Zhao Tiehu has always ordered stability to be the mainstay.

If a military force wants to develop, in addition to going through the necessary war, it also needs a relatively stable environment for development. Today's Xinghua Army, stimulated by the external environment, is still developing relatively rapidly.

However, an increase in the number of troops does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the troops can be improved. On the contrary, as the Xinghua Army was formed one after another, the management was somewhat chaotic, and the relationship between the upper and lower levels was somewhat blurred.

This time, Zhao Tiehu convened the military reform conference, which was to make corresponding institutionalization and regularization in response to the current situation of the Xinghua Army. When the time comes, these units can be transformed into the Defence Force.

Even in Zhao Tiehu's plan, the Xinghua Army will recruit some indigenous youths next. It's just that these indigenous young people must be closer to the Chinese. The aborigines who hated the Chinese were the targets of the Xinghua Army.

In dealing with the indigenous people of Nanyang, Zhao Tiehu gave his subordinates the principle of whether to fight or cooperate, depending on how the indigenous people choose. If you choose a fist, you don't have to be polite and focus on suppressing it directly.

Those who choose to cooperate need them to release their sincerity to cooperate. And the Xinghua Army did not refuse to cooperate with the indigenous forces. However, such cooperation must be based on mutual trust and mutual benefit.

After reading out the order to form a war zone, Zhao Tiehu said in a timely manner: "The appointment letter that I will review and sign will be read out below, and as for the appointment of the subordinate departments, you will report it to the war zone for approval and decision!" ”

From Zhao Tiehu's words, everyone attending the meeting knew that Zhao Tiehu should only be responsible for reviewing their positions and ranks. As for the appointment of officers in the following ministries, they will submit them for review and approval.

Although this approach is somewhat authoritarian. But the people in charge who came to the meeting knew very well that whether it was the wolf warrior or the Xinghua army, they basically belonged to Zhao Tiehu's private army. It is said that it is dictatorial, and there is indeed a point.

If someone wants to share more rights from Zhao Tiehu, it depends on whether Zhao Tiehu agrees. If they don't agree, then they don't dare to act rashly. For the seizing of power, Zhao Tiehu will still show no mercy.

After all, at present, the vast majority of the troops' salaries and materials are allocated by the base camp. When it comes to the appointment of the person in charge of each wolf's den, it must be appointed by Zhao Tiehu personally, and the others have at most the right to make suggestions.

Although Zhao Tiehu has thought about giving his subordinates more rights. But Zhao Tiehu knew that it was not appropriate to give too many rights to his subordinates now. Once the handling is wrong, the consequences are also very serious.

"Military Reform Order No. 1! The Minister of Armed Forces of the First Theater will be Comrade Li Hao, and Comrade Li Hao will be awarded the rank of Lieutenant General! ”

Hearing the first appointment issued, it was Li Hao, who was born as a security guard, and many people who participated in the meeting also felt it. This guard beside Zhao Tiehu back then has also grown into one of the real high-level leaders in the army.

It's just that in terms of combat exploits and contributions to the troops, Li Haoli's contributions are not small. At present, the operations in the Philippines and the defense and garrison tasks in Mindanao are basically carried out by Li Hao.

In addition, the first batch of combat teams, most of which were trained by Li Hao himself. It can be said that the subordinates trained by Li Hao are now also in important positions in the army. Its prestige and connections are not inferior to Li Chengwu and others in the army.

got up and walked to Zhao Tiehu's side to salute, and after Zhao Tiehu returned the salute, he handed the appointment letter and a pair of epaulettes of the lieutenant general to Li Hao. With a serious expression, he said: "The higher the position, the greater the responsibility!" Keep your mission in mind and make more contributions! ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

Taking the things handed to him by Zhao Tiehu, Li Hao saluted again and turned to face all the comrades-in-arms attending the meeting. In the midst of applause, Li Hao's expression was still calm, and he walked down the front desk with something that belonged to him.

"Military Reform Order No. 2! The Minister of Armed Forces of the Second Theater will be Comrade Song Dabao, and Comrade Song Dabao will be awarded the rank of lieutenant general! ”

For this appointment, Song Dabao, who was sitting below, was actually prepared. But when he really heard this, Song Dabao still seemed a little excited. was a lieutenant in the middle of the army, but now he has become a lieutenant general.

Even if I have been listening to Zhao Tiehu say that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. But to really become a general, Song Dabao also felt how heavy the burden on his shoulders was. He is more aware of the future of the second theater of operations, and he will be fully responsible.

With Li Hao in front, Song Dabao also saluted and accepted the appointment certificate like Li Hao, and saluted everyone. After receiving applause, he slowly left the front desk. When issuing the appointment certificate, Zhao Tiehu will say a sentence of 'keep the mission in mind'!

"Military Reform Order No. 3! The Minister of Armed Forces of the Third Theater will be Comrade Li Chengwu, and Comrade Li Chengwu will be awarded the rank of lieutenant general! ”

"Order No. 4 of the military reform! The Minister of Armed Forces of the Fourth Theater will be Comrade Chen Xinyi, and Comrade Chen Xinyi will be awarded the rank of Major General! ”

Hearing the No. 4 order, Chen Xinyi, who was the person in charge of the wolf's den in Jinshan Jiao, was already conscious when he received the camouflage military uniform belonging to the Xinghua Army. He was also very satisfied with the rank of major general conferred.

He knew very well that he was actually lucky compared to the others. If he hadn't been sent to Southeast Asia to establish a wolf's den, I'm afraid that he would not exist among the people who have been awarded the rank of general today. And all this is undoubtedly an affirmation of his credit!

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"

"Good job! If you need help from the base camp, just say it then! ”

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!"

The next two special theater armed forces ministers were awarded the rank of major general. From the military ranks, everyone also knows their ranks. In this way, in the future, the relationship between subordinates and superiors will be clear.

In the matter of the persons in charge of the wolf's den, Zhao Tiehu also appointed several heads of the main wolf's den as major generals. Most of the remaining leaders of the wolf's den who were qualified to participate in the meeting were awarded the rank of brigadier general.

Judging by this rank of brigadier general, they also became reserve generals. Whether they can be promoted to major general or not depends on their next performance. For such an appointment, these leaders of the wolf's den are very satisfied.

By the time everyone who attended the meeting had received their own letters of appointment and military ranks. Zhao Tiehu took the last letter of appointment and said: "This last letter of appointment was awarded to Comrade Chen Liquan, the head of overseas intelligence of Wolf Nose.

Although Comrade Chen Liquan cannot return for the time being, I have also read out his appointment here. In the future, when you associate with him, I hope you will know what he does.

Order No. 5 of the military reform! Comrade Chen Liquan will be the head of the overseas theater and will be awarded the rank of lieutenant general! It is not appropriate to announce the situation of the overseas war zone for the time being, you just need to know that there is this war zone! ”

With the addition of Chen Liquan, the person in charge of intelligence, four people have been awarded the rank of lieutenant general, 16 have been awarded the rank of major general, and the rest are all brigadier generals. As for Zhao Tiehu, his military rank is the same whether he is awarded or not.

Such an appointment and award, in a sense, is also the embodiment of Zhao Tiehu's division of meritorious heroes. As for whether the hearts of the people are balanced, perhaps only they know. If there is dissatisfaction because of this, it will only have to wait for time to test!
